Hello there! I haven't posted anything lately, I know, but the last two weeks were absolutely horrible. But I'm on holiday now, finally.
It was my birthday on Sunday, the 12th of December. I am 14 now. I feel so old.
I bought two other books written by my idol, Agatha Christie, "The ABC murders"(with Hercule Poirot, my favourite detective) and "A Caribbean mystery"(which is the book I'm currently reading). I finished "The Da Vinci code" by Dan Brown and started reading "Angels and Demons" by the same author. I started reading "The templar revelation" by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, but it's quite boring.
I've been listening to a lot of music this week. I discovered a great German composer, Carl Orff. You should listen to "Carmina Burana" his famous cantata( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantata ).
You must listen to it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEllLECo4OM
I've been listening to a lot of Romanian bands. I discovered this great song, "Ne place" from the Romanian band R.O.A.. The title is translated "We like it". The lyrics are amazing. I wish you could speak Romanian so you could understand them. I'll give you a link because the song is still great and it must be heard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dih729_02oM . You should search on youtube these great songs: "Terminus" from Urma, "Police" from Kumm, "Hello says the devil" and "Have no fear" from Les Elaphants bizarres , "Backseat driver", "Insanity" and "In a glimpse" from Grimus ( http://www.grimus.ro/discography.php ).
I can't stop listening to these songs: "Plastic Beach" and "Doncamatic" from Gorillaz, "Boom, blast and ruin" from Biffy Clyro, "Waiting for the end" and "The Catalyst" from Linkin Park, "Take me out" from Franz Ferdinand and "Na na na" and "Sing" from My chemical romance.
I hope you will check these songs out because they are absolutely great.
It snowed on Wednesday or Thursday here and it was very beautiful. The snow melted, unfortunately.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Hi again. Sorry I haven't posted anything lately, but I'm not much of a blogger.
Oh, and, by the way, I'm a girl. Though I wish I were a boy so people wouldn't complain every time I forget to brush my hair or wear "proper clothes". A scruffy shirt and jeans that keep falling and falling off me: this is MY idea of proper clothing. Oh well, my grandma would rather see me in a knee-length skirt and a pink blouse. But I just don't give a rat about this type of opinion. (However I love and respect her; it's just that I hate dressing elegantly.)
Anyway... this week has been pretty good for me, according to the fact we got our Maths and Biology results and... ehm... *obviously being a show off* you know, being a dedicated nerd is my number one pride.
Speaking of which, the last three days have actually made me feel better than the whole rest of the week: I feel inspired. Yes, artistically. I have just found a daily drawing project on http://www.art-is-fun.com/ about making some sort of "drawing dairy". The idea sounded fun, and I have already finished the first page!
When it comes to literature, I need to say I could have done worse, but I could have also done better. I have managed to write a poem in Romanian, which is a pretty rare thing for me, even though I properly can't find my words in English (this month only. I generally write better in English than Romanian. I might try writing in French.) I have decided to get involved in a... project (?) based on writing about some certain words. The first word is letter. At first, it seemed easy, but now, I'm flabbergasted that I didn't write anything right about that.
Musically talking? I've got no musical talent, but I like talking about music; recently, I have listened to
- Claude Debussy's "Claire de Lune", "Reverie" and "La Mer" (French and Russian composers are the best)
-Gorillaz's "Rhinestone eyes" *love**love**love* oh, and did you know 2D is actually the singer from the band called Blur? (Remember the song "Coffee and TV"? Yeah, it's from Blur.)
-AC/DC's "TNT" (again)
-ROA's "Ne place" (it's a Romanian band. The song is translated "We like it" and makes fun of really, really bad Romanian and Gypsy singers called "manelisti")
-The Cure's "Friday, I'm in Love". Most beautiful love (?) song ever. PERIOD.
-Leonard Cohen's "Dance me to the End of Love". Most beautiful love so-- wait a minute. I've already said that. Oh well.
Now, let's talk about TV. You know, since I was born, I have developed an addiction for cartoons. And, finally, I have found a decent one on stupid Disney Channel (I hate Disney Channel, I CURSE Disney Channel): Kick Buttowski Suburban Daredevil!!! Phineas and Ferb is pretty neat, too, but I just love the theme of KBSD: a 12 year old boy, whose bigger brother is a bully (and quite a loser, too) and whose annoying little sister gets all the attention. Although he lives in the suburbs and hasn't got very good grades or a great social life, he has a dream, and lots of ambition: to become the greatest daredevil ever!!! His only friend is funny, his foes are funny, and the dynamics of the episodes are remarkable: a perfect mix of humour and action! Call me crazy, but I also like that blonde haired nerd. (I don't like people who couple her with Kick; I think they're way more awesome on their own)

I was born in São Paulo on seventh of july, 1997. My full name is Igor Stark Schaade Antunes. When I was i child I was fat and cute. I have been in the same school all my life, and it is called Colégio Pentágono. I have a lot of friends in this school, and I think that Pentágono it is cool but sometimes is boring. In my home during my free time I like playing videogames, soccer, surfing in the web. My personal interest is tennis because I have been playing it for 4 years and I like much.

My name is Gabriella Rodrigues Roselli, but everybody always calls me gabi. I live in São Paulo, Brazil but I always go to Rio de Janeiro because my half brothers live there. They are my dad's first marriage and I am the second. But my dad had divorced my mum and now he has a girlfriend who I really like. My brother Luiz Felipe has 20 years years old, my oldest sister, Ana Carolina has 21 years old and my youngest sister has 19 years old. We all do really well even I has amost 14 years. They are always by my side when I need them.
I study at Pentágono, I love the people in here but the rules and soma teacher are really boring. I have been studying here since always.
I like sports, and my favorite one is football. I go to the academy every week.
I have the best friend in the world, she's call Nicole, and I love her more than everything. And my others friends are really cool to.
I'm daiting a guy at my school and I really like me.
I can say that I am a happy person.

Dear Pen Pals,



Hi,sup?My name is Alex and im 14 years old.I am in the 8th grade at my school and I live in Constanta,a city near our capital Bucharest,in Romania.It’s a beautiful country with lots of attractive tourism areas like museums in Bucharest with old houses from our history,history museum,Zoo,old ruin settlements from 2 centuries in Sarmisegetuza(google it J) etc. . We have awesome landscapes and good ski slopes.I don’t know much of your country only the national team of football. I like very much Robinho it’s one of my favourite players. The first one is Cristiano Ronaldo but this is another story J. I heared a lot about your carnival from Rio de Janeiro . I saw images,fotos,videos from there and I enjoyed it. I know about the statue of Jesus Christos in Rio too. I think it’s a man-made marvel. I really want to visit your country… but not all the cities just Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo. I know some words in brazilian language from games (Heroes of Newerth) like “capeta” means devil I think ^^ and bravo means good , bon travalio or?means good job. I find your language very melodious. I hope you write soon. Bye Bye and I’m waiting you to come in ROMANIA.





With friendship,
Alex.

Hi! My name is Ana Carolina Braunstein Marques but the people call me Ana, I'm 13. I study at Pentágono. I was born in São Paulo, and I have always lived here. All of my vacations I traveled to the south of the country, because all my family is from there. I live with my parents, my dog and my brother.

At home normally I do my homework, watch the TV, stay at computer playing games, talking with my friends and listening to music. I really like listen to music. I like bands like Black Eyed Peas, Guns and Roses, Cobra Starship, AC\DC, Beatles, and Brazilian bands like Strike, Stevens, Nxzero and Jota Quest. I enjoy singers like Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Usher, B.O.B, Bruno Mars, Basshunter, and Brazilian singers like Pitty, Charlie Brown Junior and a lot of others. I live in a building, so, i have a lot of friends near to me. Normally we go to a playground at our building, where we play soccer, handball, basketball, and other sports like that. I really like basketball, it's an awesome game!

I think it's enough about me for now. Bye!
