 Friday, September 27, 2002"Your name of Katia gives you the desire to understand and to help others but, at the same time you can become too involved in their problems and, as a result, worry too much. You desire a home and family of your own and have the ability to create understanding and harmony in family association as you are pliable, forgiving, and tactful. You love children and would not hesitate to care for any children who might need you. Whenever possible, you avoid argument and turmoil because you prefer not to face an issue if it means hurting anyone's feelings. You shrink from sordidness and poverty because you feel very deeply for anyone in unfortunate circumstances. Though you recognize your responsibilities, you are inclined to put things off until you are forced to take action. If given the opportunity, you could develop musical and artistic abilities. This name is a fairly healthy influence, although it does not give you as much vitality as many people have. Any tension centres in the fluid functions causing overweight, varicose veins, swelling of the legs and ankles, kidney trouble, bladder trouble, or female problems." It's all mostly true.. haha... I've got a persistent back pain for a couple of days now... and it's really bothering me.... it's my lower back, and I am afraid I will have to find a chiropractor very soon... It's bad cos it reminds me of my old age... lol... I go to sleep with that pain and when I wake up it's still there. I wonder if it's not the chair I am using at work.. The worst thing is that I want to do some stuff to my homepages, but now with my back aching like this I don't feel like sitting in front of the PC. Vince went to Stoke-on-Trent today for an interview, it's a fair distance away from here, but it's a job that he'd like to get I think. Now he's off again to take some computer-related tests, and won't be back till around 9PM. .... Then I will hae to cook... eeeeek! hehehe... nah, I like to cook, don't mind it at all... Ok, sometimes I just don't wanna cook anything but I have to or we don't eat (Vince's not a cook at all.. hehehehe). Ok, time for me to go. Have a great weekend all!

Thursday, September 26, 2002"What the Caterpiller calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly." Illusions is a book by Richard Bach (the one who wrote Jonathan Livingston Seagull). I read it a long time ago, but it was a book that really touched me and made me think about things in my life that I was leaving aside. Jonathan Livingston Seagull also was very important during my teens. I used to read it when I was feeling sad, in need of something to look forwaed to, and to keep my faith on life.... To keep in mind that life is worth it no matter how hard, and fighting for what you believe in and to never give up your dreams. They are both books that still move me when I have the chance to read them. I am still feeling very tired.... I don't know why but my nights this week seem full of weird dreams and I wake up all tired.. *sigh* I think I am getting a bit blue with my birthday coming and that means soon the end of the year will be here... I got a card from my mom and my bro Nelson & family... I really wished they were nearby so I could just drop by and give them a kiss...Ah well, we can't have everything, can we?(if yes, tell me how!) Anyways, I am feeling too tired to be funny :P Oh btw, I just love cadbury's orange chocolate... yum yum... Take care!

Monday, September 23, 2002I woke up last night with the house all shaking. I thought something had exploded on the floor below us, but I didn't hear any noise... I only felt the scary shake. I was so scared!! I shook Vince awake, and I could hear the glasses and the things inisde the cupboard rattling. We went outside to see if there was something happening in the street, but all was silent, apart from some cars that had their alarms set off. It was just a nightmare! The moon was beautiful and full up in the sky, and I calmed down a bit looking at it... I went back to bed, but who said I could sleep??? I was worried it was gonna happen again and the only thing in my mind was the house falling apart on top of us. So today I went to work with only a few hours sleep, and very tired. Luckily nothing serious happened and we are all well. The Epicentre of the earthquake was in Dudley wich is around 20 miles away from us. It was a very scary experience, and I hope next time it happens it's during the day so I will be able to think about what's happening!!!!! Well, If it NEVER happens again, FINE by me!!!!!!!! lol!! Ok, I better go shower and rest.... Take care all!! *hugs* PS: The first thing I told Vince after the earthquake when we went to bed was that I loved him.. cos if anything happened, I wanted him to know that :)

We had chips on the way back.. yum yum... and the new diet Coke with lemon... yum yum... We got home and had a sandwich.... spicy chicken in a baguette.... yum yum...hehehe thats basically what we've done..eaten. Oh, we took a nap too...

Thursday, September 19, 2002AH.. finally tomorrow is friday, and I will work only till 3PM! I missed an R on stronghold on my last post... couldnt be bothered to change it.. hehehe.. My comments thingy is working fine :) Thanks Jennie for using it!! lol!! I woke up today with a huge stomach ache. Vince's got a slight ache too, so we are wondering if it's not the tap water. Anyways we've decided to buy a brita filter. I am better now, but felt sick the whole day. Stupid Social Security Office won't return my calls and I need my National Insurance Number! Oh and I found out why my first paycheck was larger than I thought it would be..... They are paying me £1 more per hour, so I am very happy about that!! Oh Adecco was the agency where I found my job, also I joined Brook Street. Both of them were very useful. The week after I went in to take the tests (keybeoard, word, excel, ect) I was offered 3 temp jobs. Not all of them are great pay, but for a start it's good. At least you get some experience in the UK, which is required for some agencies to join them. Oh gosh, 10 days for my birthday!!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk!!!!!! I wanna go backwards with my age now. This year I wanna be 18.. he he he... I fear the year "30" which is getting close to meeeee..... I don't wanna be a "Balzac Woman" La Femme de Trente Ans... no no no hehehehhe.... Vince went to Sutton Coldfield now to take some computer tests... and wont be back till probably 8:30PM, so I can stay in the puter and update some stuff :) OOOhhh and Sarah's got a Blog too! all womens from OWC inna Blog craziness... lol... I will add you as soon as I can Sarah :) Thanks for visiting me! Thank you all actually :) Ok I dont think I have anything else new... So I go now. Hugs :)

Tuesday, September 17, 2002Hope you guys had a great weekend.... Mine was good. On sunday we went to Vince's parents for dinner, They had lots of pictures from Germany... All very nice! Berniece showed us her pics from Portugal/Paris/Germany... Wow.. .Loads of pics to see!! We got back around 5 or 6PM, then we relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. Vince installed a new game, called Stonghold. It's a bit like Settlers, and can be very addictive! It's all about running a village, protecting it, having enough food for the people etc. You can read a bit more about it here .... Apart from Playing and Working we havent done much! Ah, I'm glad you gals liked my hugs, and I hope you are all feeling alright. *hugs* :) Ah, and hugs to you all, homesick or not :) Oh, I've added a comment thingy here, dunno if it will be any good... But I'll try anyways. I was watching David Letterman and he was commenting about Dr Phil having a program for himself... and it was a good laugh. I think he doesn't like Oprah and Dr Phil that much.. lololol... and then it made me think of Jennie's blinkie... hehehe Ok, I better go do something :) Catch you all later! xoxo

What a nice day today! It was a bit overcast in the morning, but the sun apperared after lunch time.... Vince and I went to do some shopping today, with my first wage.. yay! I bought some skin care stuff, it's so expensive to be a girl isnt it?? Then we went to Next clearence and I got a nice pinky girly wooly jumper. I tried it when I got back home and Vince said I looked like a little girl... lol...Ah well.. I am keeping it! I've been wanting something pinky for ages... I have no idea why, cos usually I don't like wearing pink. I just finished doing the ironing. There's nothing worse than ironing! I prefer to clean the bathroom! But Vince's got the bathroom cleaning for himself so I had to do the ironing... *sigh* I was reading some blogs and seems like all gals are feeling homesick. I was pretty much upset thise past week, lots of things happening and me feeling homesick wasn't a very pleasant combination. All I can say, is that at least, I have Vince to support me when I am feeling like that, and I know I can count on his shoulder to cry for as long as I need to. And I think I am very lucky for that, maybe that is something I have to overcome and learn to be strong about. I know I will always miss home, as if something will be always missing in my heart, and I am blessed because I know I have a wonderful family back in Brazil that will always love me and support me, and I also have a family here, one that I know will always be there for me too. Most importantly I have Love. So when I am homesick, I know it will go away, cos I am too happy to feel sad. If that makes any sense... lololol.... Here I **hug** all you homesick gals in the blog world...! Kiss your loved one. It will make everything better. :) Oh, i have changed my homepage a bit... put some fall graphics (spring to the portuguese section) there so take a look and tell me what u think :) I've done some blinkies too.. Dunno about them tho. Take a look:   Ah well, thats it for now! Have some more cleaning to do! Argh!!!! hehehe!! Bye!!! xoxo

Friday, September 13, 2002Long time no write... Well, I've been busy...hehehe... And it's another friday! And it's sunny! Yey! I am so happy today! It was my first payday! Hmmmmm money! hehe... it was good to get some money that I know I earned. and also because this is my first job here in UK, it's even more meaningful. I've been missing things from Canada these days (for those of you who don't know, I've lived there for almost 2 years)... Things like Tim Hortons (the iced cappucino.. yum yum) and Canada Dry (ginger ale). Ok, I've been missing home too... Feeling a bit homesick. Good thing I have so many things to do now, that I don't have time to feel sorry for myself!! Or I'd probably be crying my eyes off by now. I finished reading "dreamcatcher" .... what a weird book. I am still not sure if I liked it or not... But I am more inclined to say I don't like it. It has its good parts, but overall it wasn't a book i enjoyed reading. Now I've started Dean Kootz' One Door Away from Heaven... I usually like his books very much. They are intense and gripping! Job is going great, I really enjoy the office and everyone is amazingly friendly! hehe... The work itself is a bit repetitive, but what work these days is not?? It's been a good week apart from monday when I got soaked when I came back home, due to my lack of umbrella! Sept 11 was a very sad day. I still do not believe that the towers are not there anymore. I can't imagine New York without them, and it hurts my heart to think people can be so cruel to target other HUMAN BEINGS and say it's for their God. What kind of God would want that atrocity? One year on, and I can't find a good enough reason that could justify that horrible attack. I think no one will ever be able to justify. Well, also I am trying very hard to update my pages, and make some blinkies, but I can't find enough time!!!!!! I know I have more things to write but cant remember now. So I am gonna go cook dinner... Take care!!!!!
