The Big Hike!

So earlier this past week Joana and I thought about going on a hike. Since we've been running a lot and most of the time it is uphill she thought Id love to see the view. Well she was right. We but on our bathing suits, some running shoes and drove about 20 minutes to the beach we go to on the weekends. Well the almost vertical mtn that I thought you couldnt go up has a trail. You walk up a small street in this cute neighborhood until you get to a small opening that you could easily miss. There are stone steps and a sign in Portuguese that says basicly: Please do not take what you shouldnt, please don leave anything that cant survive and enjoy the earth for what it is. Something like that. If was sweet. But after the stone steps is a vertical rock wall you have to press your body against to get up. I LOVED IT! Joana not so much. She made it to the first flat area then stopped to rest and tan. Me yah I had to to the most unsafe thing possible and crawl up to the top. But man the view was worth it. I could see all of Rio, Niteroi and the islands surrounding us in a 360 degree view. Below us I could watch the surfers play in the light blue splashing waves and the bodies frying on the golden white sand. It was amazingly beautiful. There was at one point three guys on the mtn but they just walked off the other side and I have no idea what happened to them...odd. But after I was done enjoying the wind and sun at the top I went back down to join Jo and get a little sun. Since we were alone the top had to come off because again I hate tan lines! HAHA. Joana didnt mind but she thought it would be fun to take pictures of my ass close up to make it look like a mtn with all the surrounding mtns. That and me alm ost naked, lol. She is too funny. She was trying to make one of the pictures look like a large catus was a penis, or how should I say it, making it look like I HAD a penis. She doesnt know but I already do. LOL. Why else would I wear the pants in my relationships? HAHAHA. Despite the tiny thong bikini I wont lie, its huge! HAHAHA. Ok ok enough with that. After tanning for a few hours, enjoying the quite and playing with the cutes little bug ever! Jo and I went back down and hit the sand. I got to play in the water for a few hours. Once Im in I never want to get out. I know to come in every so often so I dont just float on my back and drift off. *Yes it has happened before in Hawaii* I just love the water. It is nice here you can open your eyes and swim for days in the warm water. The waves are strong but you just have to hold your breath if you get sucked under and pray that you have the blessings of higher powers, lol. Not too bad of a day, the salt water is grat for the skin and really makes it soft like a micoscopic exfoliator in the water. Plus it dries the oil from your face so no break out here! WOOHOO! It was nice to wake up the next morning and be nothing but sexy sore which I enjoy entirly. Just had to share that story with you. Enjoy the pics!

Beach house in Buzios

Man I had an amazingly long weekend!! But it was worth it. Gus came over Friday night and picked me up around 9PM and we took off in the middle of the night (the perfect time to drive) to Buzios. Gus had the perfect MP3 mix of 54 song including all the best live shows from Dononvan F, John Mayer, and more. I mean the best mix for driving ever.

So because its dark there wasnt much to see but we kept good company with amazing conversation and chocolate! LOL. Always the best driving food. When we got to the house it was in a gated community with (seaturtle) in the name. LOL. But Buzios has seaturtles EVERYWHERE!! LOL. It is great, I think they are so cute, come on Squirt from Finding Nemo just makes the movie! Duuuudddeeeee! But the house... OMFG. It was great. Opens up to a large living room with glass over looking the main strip of the town center and at night it was covered in lights. There are two bedrooms downstairs with three bunk beds in each room and a large bathroom. The kind where the toilet, shower and sinks are all in seperate rooms so people can all be in there at one time. Great kitchen and Gus packed some great fruits and gains to eat for breakfast. Upstairs (large wooden stairs) were two master bedrooms each with a bathroom. This place was too cute. So we set up for bed and then went out!

Out on the town in the center at midnight we walked around because the night life starts at midnight here. Again my kind of place! LOL. We went to an open bar and go crepes, his was cheese and mine was chocolate of coarse! LOL. Ate walked some more then went home and passed out. Now since it was 2am you would think Id sleep in but no lack of sleep even effects me at the amazing beach house with large bed and the awesome sound of wind rushing through the house. So I was up before 8 and headed out to the pool in the back yard where I just hung in the sun for a few hours. Did I mention everyone has a pool man?! Again with the topless thing and I damn near gave the pool man a heart attack. He kept saying he was sorry and I told him it was fine. LOL. The second time he came back he was more friendly and we had a nice conversation lol. When Gis got up he asked if I had eaten and I had just had a small piece of chocolate.... OK I DO THAT OK NOT ALL THE TIME B UT I DO AND IM NOT DEAD YET SO BACK OFF! I WANT CHOCOLATE IN THE MORNING!!! IT IS LIKE MORNING SEX SOMETIMES YOU ROLL OVER AND ITS THE FIRST THING ON YOUR MIND!!!!!!! So he was a doll and cut up fruit and covered it in honey and granola and brought it out to me with yogurt. Amazing, lol. After that we got ready to go to the beach.

We went to this place where there were real pirate ships in the water!!! I was stoked. The beach was small and I couldnt get out of the water. Swimming with the boats and near the rocks. Well the rocks not a good idea. Ive had practice swimming near the rocks in Hawaii and I know better but I really wanted to find all the cool stuff that grows on the rocks and when I was playing with it a wave came up and hit me from the back and tossed me higher on the rocks. Nothing crazy people!! Mom dont freak out! LOL. But I was lame and tried to stop myself instead of floating with it like I know how to do and now I have these FUCKING AMAZING SCRATCHES all over my right leg. I mean from my knee wrapping around to the middle of my butt. I dont mind the leg part but I really dont want my butt to scar. *Gus Im so glad you love my butt, lol, people liked it small but now its bigger from running and you still love it!!!! Im happy* Ok the scars would be pretty cool but really I hope it doesnt. I might be working with the photographer again at that Hotel to do a sweet bathroom tub thing or waking up and having breakfast thing. This place is amazing enough we might get some good shots.

After the beach Gus and I were spent..... OH I DIDNT MENTION JOANA AND CAMILA!! Well Camila couldnt come and Joana had a friend come in from Sao Paulo and wanted to stay and see him so it was just Gus and I. OK..... so we tool a nap and then got dressed to go out. Now I never wear this pink dress unless it is for a special occasion like spending the weekend in Vegas VIP and that photoshoot I did. But tonight I pulled out the dress and MAN I HAVE AN ASS! Ok Im trying not to be cocky really I dont want you to think so, but anyone who used to know me before I lost the weight I had an ass then I just had a cute little butt but now with uphill running I got my butt back and anyone who knows me knows how excited I get!! LOL, so this is me doing the *eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* sound for my butt, hahahahahahahaha.

Gus and I went to this place to dance after having a few shots and going to that place to eat again. The place had good music and we got to be at the top in a section that was closed off (woohoo) and dance. Then there was this fat guy that had everyone cheering as he shook his body, lol. It was around 4AM when we left and when we got to the house we ended up blasting the music and dancing in the street together for another 45 minutes, lol. Gus can dance is all I can say, we had an amazing time.

The next moring I slept to 12 and then went out for an hour on the pool deck. When Gus got up we had breakfast then went shopping for a few things. All I needed was a shot glass, lol. I think Im at 100 now for my collection, lol. After all day doing the shopping and going to see some other beaches oh and doing some off roading we went to eat at this place that served Gus this HUGE and I mean the size of my face steak. He ate the whole thing and then said he was still hungry. LOL. We met a nice couple from Texas and talked with them for awhile then went home took our time getting ready and then left at 11PM back home. Getting home at 1AM I met with Joana and we talked for a good hour laughing about a few things. One of which was when we were laughing she turned her face into the pillow and got her braces caught on the pillow! I ALMOST PISSED MY PANTS LAUGHING SO HARD!! HAHAHAHA. It was great, no really really great.

So now Im catching up on work and emails and it is 5PM and still hot! MAN I love winter here, I think I love it here no matter what, lol. I have some videos that Im going to upload and I think one of them will be better then the butt video LOL! It is all fun and games right? LOL. So I miss everyone hope youre all well. Back to school you must go. Kisses.

Sushi and the Cable Car!!

OMG! I cant tell you what kind of day I had yesterday! Im going to try but youll never really know how I felt.

So I was up late Tuesday night, just couldnt sleep still. Got a few hours before waking up and getting ready to meet Gus. Joana took me to the ferry and after thinking Gus lost me (but was late) we went driving around Rio and then to the Sugar Loaf or Cable Car. This thing has been around for 95 years and no accidents even though Gus said there had been just to freak me out.

Now the Cable Car is a two part tram like going up Heavenly or to the Matterhorn in Switzerland. You go up thousands of feet then get out and have a look around on the island mtn then get in another car and go up a few more thousand feet to where youre looking over the other half of Rio that you cant see from Jesus! Like Copacabana Beach and all. You get to the top and it is very windy until you get to the food court. Then you can sit and eat and look over the water and watch the little boats down below. At one point some kids in high school came up to me and asked if they could take a picture with me. I said yes thinking of the kids at Jesus and asked them why. They said because they wanted a pic with the girl in the SUPERMAN PANTIES!!!!! They KNEW WHO I WAS!!!! Seeing as those panties were stolen and I wasnt wearing them that day. What the hell is going on here????!

Gus and I get there and have a little adventure to the top and while we are there we meet my future wifey. Oh yes. Her name is Camela and she looks like Corrine Bailey Rae and guess what sounds just like her two! This girl can sing. Trained in Jazz and Gospel. She was born in Brazil but her dad lives in Canada so she got her citizenship when she was young and has been there doing the music thing for 17 years. I thought she was American when I fist met her. Her english is perfect. She was with her best friend Maria from Russia who married a Brazilian man and moved to Rio. But the best part about them both is that they are Wiccans and it was an instant connection between the three of us. Not to mention the energy with Gus there just made for a perfect friendship right away.

So we spent the rest of the day at a small place eating filet Minon and veggies and talking about life, engery, people, relationship, wicca, traveling and all. I mean we talked for hours and still I couldnt get enough so I invited her to Sushi with us and Gus was more then pleased to have her along. Maria didnt want to come because her husband was sick at home. On the way across the bridge we got to hear her sing and Gus and I were floored, no really if people knew about this girl she would be the next BIG thing. Im thinking of making it my goal to get her to the top since Im stealing her away back to CA with me. LOL. But no really we are going to get married in CA one day and I will have a Brazilian and Canadan citizenship and she will have one for the US then we will marry Gus for our ticket into Europe, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Man what an adventure that would be. We are already adding her in to our trip to Thailand and Europe too.

But this girl and all of us together just always feels so right. She was so happy to be with us and we had a great time just talking about everything. When we got to Joanas house we all met up for dinner at this sushi place. It was Jo, me, Gus, Camela, and Vitcor. 50 bucks for all you can eat but I swear it was worth it. Minus the fact they dont have anything with avo in it. SAD! But I will tell you this. I had 10 rolls to myself, a plate of cooked mushrooms the big ones, a bowl of soup, 6 oysters raw, and ice cream. I starved myself for two days before we went. I came home and couldnt move. I spend the rest of the night 'working' on my tummy and feeling like it was so worth it! I had weighed myself that morning and then again when I came home and I was a pound and a half heavier! HAHAHAHA! AMAZING!!!

So meeting Camela was the perfect thing. I really cant tell you how happy I was. A happy where it bubbles from the inside and comes out as laughter for me. Only a few people have seen this. If you have you can only imagine how it made both her and Gus laugh too. We were eating and talking in Portuguese and English, and I dont think any of us could stop smiling. So now we are addicted to each other and are all going to Buzios this weekend. We are staying with Gus in his other house on the beach and are going to spend the days in the sun and the nights shopping and dancing like fools! I cant wait. I really am so thankful for the happiness Ive found in my life and the people who I know Ive been desined to meet. This journey has only just begun!!!

Weekly Update!

I guess I really cant think of what to say in this one. Maybe I can call it my weekly update or something cheesy like that. I guess it is because I didnt do much. After the shoot and traveling I was tired so I spent the next day sleeping and hanging out. Then the weather got really bad and it has been raining on and off for the last week. Ture I find that amazing and spend most of my time freaking my mom out by sitting in the rain and threating to get sick. But really it is something new. Sitting here and smelling everything differently then when it rains in Tahoe or LA or Hawaii or Europe or anywhere else Ive been where it rained. The sounds, if they are there or not. If people enjoy being out or not. What people cook when it rains and believe me it does change the mood for what you might be into that day. Try it and see.

So on the days where its clear enough I go running with Jo. We run up hill now and try to spice things up by walking into different towns and going through city tunnles and all. Just something to keep us from not hating running. I enjoy it but the muscles in my legs make my jeans tight, lol. And did I mention my butt is getting bigger. So Peter Maez you can give me that 5 bucks now! LOL. Its been 4 years and you still owe me! HAHAHA. I did go out one day and take a walk just to take pics with my camera. I read all about how to use it and can now use all the crazy settings and man I like to take pics that capture what I really see through my eyes. I got to meet some Germans on my walk, nice family with the son living in Sao Paulo for the last year.

Also the schools are back in and the new kids have to spend the first week getting money for a party at the end of the week where the older kids use the money to drink with, lol. Great fun. Liked egging the Freshman in high school. HEHEHE. So there are kids running around covered in body paint and begging for money, like bums in SF, but their body paint is dirt, lol.

Sunday was Fathers Day so we went shopping on Saturday for a gift. Took all day and we still couldnt find anything. Joana left and I hung with my mom finding things. And I did find a great army green shredded ball cap with patches on it and a great cologne at this store here. So now I have a scent that no one else can have! Yes it is a boys scent but I like it, and Im boyish so what? We found the dad a really sick bag for work and I found these punk rocker rockabilly 20s boots. Black and red plaid with gold lining (have to see em) I think Ill go back and get em. Ive never spent so much on shoes but these are worth it!!! (Nate Im going to do the rockabilly thing just for you because you and your friends begged me so nicely! LOL)

Then for Fathers Day we went to the Country Club (where I partied that one night) and had an amazing lunch. It was really great. I got to hang with the giant family again which is always nice. I love to be around families even if they arent my own. The weather wasnt so great so we spent the night in watching movies and just having a good time being together.

Then Joana and I wanted to go out so we grabbed her EX boyfriend (dun dun dun) and her older brother and went to this place that was pretty cool. 20 to get in but 10 in drinks. So I got something strong because one drink was like 6 bucks, lol. I ended up having a really cool drink with fruit in it and some how ended up dancing with Junior (the older brother, 27) who is a very good dance (American like) and next thing I know he is licking my teeth. Yep which led to mt next buzzed make out. I have rules people, big rules but that night I wanted to have fun and right in the middle of dancing it was raining and we were outside. So hot techno music and all of us in little outfits getting sexy soaked in the rain was worth it even if it was a family member and now when we see each other we just state then smile and walk away. I couldnt stop laughing all night. The rain on my face and getting me wet so then my hair was curly all over again was the best. He was spinning me around and picking me up. It was a blast.

Joana and I took a trip the next morning to Nanas house where she stuffed us with friend food and the most amazing home made jam ever! I mean it is made with the fruit that you cant get anywhere else. This is the same lady that makes the desserts. Well she makes bread and jam too! It was the best. Ruined the running for the rest of the day because I was so full and I really do try to watch what I eat... lol.

So that was mostly my week thus far. I have a big weekend planned in Buzios again with Gus, who Im falling on love with all the time!! LOL. Oh and Sushi and the Cable Car on Wednesday!!!

Photoshoot and Buzios

(First I want to mention that I uploaded pics into my last blog. Not all but a few.)

**** Also I want to know who the hell is watching my ass all the time??!!! My Brazilian beach video has over 1000 plays. It was at 831 on Wednesday, 950 on Friday morning, 1000 Saturday night, and it is has been one week and is now at 1,164 plays!!! Come on really now? It was just a joke video, lol. But I love you guys really, so enjoy it I guess!!! ****

I wanted to mention because I forgot last time that I did see Batman and Handcock and both were fucking insane! I was dying the whole time. Kinda like when Fast and the Furious 3 came out, or Dukes of Hazzard. Hot girls, hot cars, hot action. I was yelling a lot. Batman with that scene with the motorcycle up against the wall was SIIIICCCCKKKK! LOL. Oh and Will Smith, hotness. Crush on him since Fresh Prince...

Well as it turns out the weather did get pretty shitty for the shoot. But we left anyway at 8:45 am in a rental car to Arraial do Cabo. We stopped on the way at a small place where I go hot tea while the boys ate. It was so cute. Outside was a petting farm with baby animals running around! You could fish and take home what you caught and it was just a nice place to spend while we were all waking up a little more. Then we were on our way again. We stopped at a large beach where the homes were amazingly rich. Like driving through Hollywood until you hit Beverly Hills and you know you found the rich people. But the best part.... the beach was MADE of seashells!!! The sand wasnt even there, it was all seashells! Small, fat, large, round, spiral, etc. I filled my small purse with seashells and now have a small bucket on my table lol. Too funny. After we left the beach we went on a back road up this giant hill to see this 5 star sea food place. But I didnt know it had burned down! So when I saw the view (you could see Rio and all the way around to the next largest mtns!) and the building burnt to the ground I was floored. It was amazing. Again I wish that Phil was with me. We would have had an amazing time doing crazy shoots in the half burn kitched where the walls were licked by flames leaving black marks on the walls. Where the lovers came and signed their names with the charrcol. Where the stone frames stood strong while pillar of wood where burnt like getting hit by lightening all the way up. Pieces of brown, blue, green, clear broken glass was everywhere! The once beautiful tile flooring was crushed from the weight of the roofs falling on them. I happen to find a great piece with the Brazil logo still on it. I didnt want to leave. But the only reason we didnt shoot there is because it was dangerous. One road to go in and out always calls for trouble in Brazil. You get there and get stuck with a gun to your head. So we left and drove another hour to the beach area where we were going to shoot.

When we got there I happen to see a section of the beach covered in 15+ foot high white (and I mean white) sand dunes and asked if we could shoot there. So we did. So with a white dress, white shirt and pants, and a white little thong we went out to shoot some cool stuff. But since it was so fucking windy we couldnt use the reflector so I had to endure the sun in my eyes and since it was on a sand dune I had to spend every three minutes closing my eyes and mouth so I wouldnt have sand in it. Its been two days and Im still finding sand everywhere! But we did get some great shots of me in this dress (the one I bought so my mom would be happy) which was perfect against dark skin tone and pure white sand with blue ocean in the background and the rain clouds in the distance. Then I tried a white Indian style top and then down to a white thong. By that time I was covered in sand and my hair was curly from the humidity. We had all eated about a tablespoon of sand and then decided to leave.

We drove around and looked at some beaches and even got out and walked aroun d a little bit.And while we were guess what I saw? A FUCKING PENGUIN!! Yah, every year they get more and more that get lost at sea and follow the fish to the beach, where the wanter was actualy cold, ug. That was too cool!

Then we went to this great place for lunch were I got pasta and some rice dish, since I didnt really have more then coffee that morning. Remember that the people Im with were French and Brazilian (his assistant). So the languages we were speaking were too funny. Then I started saying funny things in German and Hawaiian and we couldnt stop laughing. Just funny words we knew in odd languages. It was a blast.

Since the weather got worse as the day went on we went to Buzios anyway but just to look around for a few hours. But believe me when we got to the view points I didnt want to go home. I mean AMAZING! Then we walked around the town center and ran into some French people that own this wonderful hotel in Rio where the rooms range from 250 to 650 per NIGHT! But it is worth it. Xaiver said the rooms were amazing and I said that we would have to do a photoshoot there! So hoping for that! WOOHOO! But all around it was a nice day. I slept on the two hour ride home and yah, stay tuned for pics!!! WOOHOO!
