wedding rally: FEBRUARY

it all started w/ me finding a new school coming to town, especiallized in kids and teens... called, sent my resume... got a phone call, an enterview... and since that place I was working was not exactly what I expected, I got off (not really when and how I planned, but that's ok), set all the family up for praying... kept on teaching a few classes and went on for a selection trainment... and I MADE IT! yeah, then, I more week of "hired teachers training"... got back, it was already my b-day... (got back in the weekend in bt, total of 10 days out, away from my fiance), in the mean time, a couple of friends of ours who were having problems, and we prayed for them, they had an amazing reconciliation! a miracle for our faith...
meanwhile, we were checking out for the invitations, legal wedding, cake, honey moon, so on and so forth (place and my dress were already ok, as well as my shoes, that just need to be "decorated"...), started in the new job at the end of the month... and the decorations now is ok! it's gonna be purple and stuff, w/ musical notes all over! hehe yeah, the "souvenirs" are decided, long time ago... heheh the same guy that did the ones for the engagement...
our invites list, as well as the "God-friends" already set (though in constant changes! not the God-friends, all aware), and I'd be making lists and lists of all the details, and thoughts, and feelings... oh Lord!
and we made an website in january, didn't I mention it?! www.prometo.com.br/anaelucas!
what else... we finally went together to the "Ouro Fino club"... I bought (mom's gift, as promised...) a camera... Lilosa went to brother-in-law's new house in Ponta Grossa... who's also in trainment for a new job, so he came over a few times, to Lucas's house, and then his family. he's gonna work at his house, remote... sweet, uh? hehe
HAD to enroll again in college... I don't know if next year I'd be able to finish, and if I'd want to do it after married! oh, gosh... had my practice already set, in a place that deals w/ needy families, youth in risks...
let's see if I can take it! God knows I'm doing it decided to finish successfully, though I don't really enjoy it anymore...
what else... had my b-day, as I said, and as always, I cooked, made a wonderful brownie! Drika and Carol came over... (Dani went to the beach... n/c) got some gifts, more for my wedding than for myself, though I'm gonna use indeed! heheh (not telling!) nothing akward, don't worry...
so, I guess that's it, for now... till "next month"! heheheh fully loaded w/ news and more news, ya bet!

to finish, all I can say is that "God is bigger than the air I breathe!!!!!"
coz He's MY GLORIOUS...

butterflies, crickets, ladybugs and so on in the stomach

I won't say I'm sorry for the "delay" coz this is not the case... almost 5 months w/o posting should be considered a tragedy! only that's some "good" tragedy after all... so I decided to post 5 times, one for each month, as a "review" of all that happened...
get ready to travel in time, and join in the "thrillingest" (if it exists...) moment of my entire life! (even more that going to live abroad...)
enjoy the trip...

HOW GREAT ART THOU, OH LORD!!!!!

p.s.: GOOD BYE, ELVES!...

since I haven't posted in a while, I'm just here (still...) to say I'm deleting the "elfyourself" thingies, since they're no longer available, ok!? ... aaaaannnnnd that's all, folks!
off I go... GONE!

NOT IN THE MOOD!

yeah, u'd figure there's just too much going on... and u can bet it, heck, there is!
so, don't even count on me right now... I'm not gonna even share all that's happening, would take too long! I ain't dropping no single line, don't insist...
just to let u know how "busy" and "witted" I feel right now, there goes another quiz I founf out...
have fun... not! (hehe, supposed to be fun! nuh... haven't seen "Borat"?! I know it's completely naughty, but at least this joke is worth quoting...)
there u go:

take care and behave yourselves.

the WEDDING RALLY has started!!!

yeah... finally, since we have exactly 6 and a half months...! wow... I can barrely believe it... seems like it doesn't even make sense!
like, I already have somethings set up, like the shoes, the "jewelry", the lingerie... hehehehe the dress I'm about to have decided this week, as I already said... bou I started looking for places and food - and of course, PRICES! heheheheh the check list though is still running! (gotta get started on the invitations... the definite list... then proceed to the gift list... WORK ON THE WEB SITE!!! oh, keep on praying for the money to come on our house payments!!!)
oh, I already had my "1st wedding nightmare"! about the organization... hehehehe all the "brides" say this is normal, so, I guess I'm just right! hehehehehe it was like, the day, but no decoration, I had no place to go get my hair and make up... it was an ugly church, w/ broken chairs and stuff... and everybody was just calm! I was not nervous, but I was like astonished! hehehehehe all part of the process, I guess... hehe I'm having lots of fun, u can bet!
what else... booking doctors, since I'm turning 24 next month and the health plan will "throw me away" for that... so I still have like 1 month and a half to use all that I can! the problem is finding some good doctors... like the worst is an orthopedist...! I went to another one last week... the poorest attention... waited for 1h30 for my appointment! and nobody said anything... and I've always had problems on my right wrist, and this (past) year, I started having on my left as well... like last week I had both hands wrapped up, I said it here! (like, "you're" my witnesses... hehe) but at THAT particular moment, only the left was hurting... he examined... ok, let's do exams only on the left! and I asked a thousand times "what about the right one?" and he almost mocked me for that! now, actually, the day after... the right was hurting again! and it still is... what should I do now? try to "guess" a better doctor and end up w/ the same chances of getting ONE MORE lousy one? and I go and do the exams and keep on this same bad doctor?... man...
and I booked ANOTHER otorhino... (yeah, I've had the same ones since I came here, had 2 surgeries... but the last one sucked so bad that my nose is even worse!) and it is this afternoon... and just yesterday I started having a terrible sore throat! "good", uh!?... now I have a cardiologist for next week... (let's check everything while I can!) and I think I should go for a dermatologist too! since I still have some doubts and so on... and of course! I guess I should make an appointment w/ "my doctor" (u know what I mean!) who's been attending me for just about since I moved to here! at least for a "farewell"... hehehehe
well, I got here at work and found out I was gonna have to teach the intensive course during 1 month from 9 to 12 am... but then, it was 9:05 and the student called canceling the classes... oh my! so what then, uh... I'm back to my every-day duties again...
to which I must concentrate now! hehe (while downloading "Hero-The Rock Opera" DVD... hehe)

GOD BLESS US W/ A GREAT WEEK!!! till next time...

yeah, this is the so called "future" we expected, uh...

that's bc when my sister and I were kids she used to say that in the year 2000 life would be like... "The Jetsons"!?!?!? uh-hu... yeah... hauheuhauhe what year r we now!? uh!? the year 2000... and 9!!!!! (and still a lot of that all is happening, or not so close to... - I can't say "nothing")
and so... my "glass shoes" 4 the wedding arrived! w/ discount and no shipping expenses... hehe I had to get it until december 31, or I'd have to pay in full... now, I just have to find a way to glue all the "crystals" w/ no mistakes! hehe it's gonna be so cool...! though it's just a "plastic shoe", not fancy... who cares! it's me, my style! no high heels! perfect! everything will be just beautiful... I bet! in my way... hehe
and so, to tell u the truth, I posted all the pix from the engagement that I have (there are some more w/ Lucas's aunt...) and even the people that used to think I'm too "sloppy" said that I looked great! here, take a look and say for yourself... hehe

so, "this is" us!........................... and these, "our preciouses"... hehe
and my mom just got back from our family... w/ all our relatives comments on my engagement/wedding... 2 cousins got pregnant, won't be able to come then... but one of them offered to make me a "bridal shower" there! u can bet, there are quite enough women to go... hehe and have a blast, I guess! just hope not "on me"... hehe since here I'll have a "wedding shower" for all our friends (male and female) so we don't go through embarrassing jokes and we can get many kinds of gifts, we have lots of friends in common, most of them r couples... and then I'll do some sort of "barchelorette party"... only w/ my closest girl friends... to spend the night, eat , trade secrets and advices... (woo! hehe) along w/ a "cosmetics shower", may I call it this way? well, closer to the time I'll tell more details... hehe it's just that now I'm too excited w/ all my ideas, but I still have so much to get done... not much perspectives of money though, but this is God's part! hehe and... next week I'll get the dress started!!!!! heheheheh
gtg for now... keep in mind 1 thing, to be always sure throughout this year: 2009 is definitelly gonna ROCK!!!!!
God bless... take care!

almost 1 decade...!

so, I'm sorry I haven't posted the last one in 2008... I even remembered, but I wanted to go home, since I could! hehe but that isn't going to make 2009 less better, for I'm sure this year's got something... promising!
I wanted to talk about some "new year's resolutions"... but both my hands r hurting a lot today, I can't find a good doctor, and there's still a lot to get done here (yeah, I'm @ work again, yay...)
so I guess I'll just leave for now, ok... I won't forget it though, have all in my mind (and some written down! hehe)... as if it was THAT important... heheh
it's more like a "wish list" than anything else! heheheh
who doesn't wish or expect things in the beggining of a year, uh?!
since I'm feeling pain most of the time... (even with the hands all in bandages since yesterday...) I'd better give myself a break and focus my effort on work, right... so, sorry for now... but I'll be back! hehe
at least I'm starting 2009 w/ great thoughts, faith, hope, prayer... and a post! not as "happy" as it should be, but hang on! I'll also talk about how r things going...
(for a person w/ hands too sore to type something really relevant, I'm already wasting time just for explaning... hehe)
GOD BLESS US ALL, UH! 2009 DEFNITELY IS GONNA BE BETTER THAN 2008, AND IT WAS A GREAT YEAR ALREADY! FOR SURE WILL BE THE BEST YEAR SO FAR... IN ALL POSSIBLE ASPECTS UNDER GOD'S PROVISION... HAVE FAITH!!!!! AMEN!...

pray for me to get better so I can really mean a "B R B"!... hehe

so, back from the "NEW family"'s house 4 Christmas... (actually, a little bit more than just that!)
mom's w/ my "old family", where I should be, if it wasn't just our 1st week of engagement, our 1st Christmas together... after a full year of victories for us... heading to 1st year! hehe
and I found out some cute applications in the internet, yeah, they will be posted right above in here... w/ Marilia and Dani! I have all the 4 of them w/ both, but... I wouldn't post them all, ritgh? it would get way too repetitive... (though I can't get enough of watching them over and over again! ahuehuahueha) after all, they'll be gone 4ever after Jan 15 anyways... so, get the most of it and laugh AT me!!! heheheh (along w/ me, coz I already am...!)
enough of Christmas... hehe now New Year's Eve's coming, and that's a very touching time for me, u can bet! we have the opportunity to think through all that's passed, wonder about all that's coming... get sad, get happy, be thankful, regretful, learn lessons, feel satisfaction... I LOVE this time of the year! it's sssssso meaningful to me! that's y I think there should be "New Year's Gifts" rather than Christmas... Ok, Ok, we gotta celebrate Jesus born amongst us, but that's simply none of what people actually do!
the heck w/ the "Christmas spirits and feelings"... the magic lies in the people's pockets! that's where all of it comes from! where the poverty starts, the misery dwells, and everything... no, no, I'm not being dramatic! (maybe just a little...) but, figure it: that's all about this religion, this ritualism called CAPTALISM!!! heck w/ it, heck heck, heck!! it's freaking frightening stupid! spend, spend, spend... it's all about having and showing off! what about the "good thoughts and kind actions"?! a "pure heart, a warm soul"...!? there's definitely no room for it in the middle of all the crazy shopping! I can guarantee... from experience! (have "suffered" from consequences)
and just by watching... man, observe!
well... then, just got back, yeah... t'was good though, we ate a lot, of course... hehe but not that many "gift sharing or trading" either... very good! family and Jesus ARE INDEED the true reasons for "Christmas'ing"... though everyone went to bed early... at least I discovered a new "addition" of mine in tv series... nothing new, but just that my mind clicked to it: "House"... the moody doctor... hehehehe likes it!
nah... still happy! that's God in our lives! hehe figuring I miss my house my mom, and eventually, I'm gonna miss my "barchelorette" life... hehehehe (possibly I'm gonna love even more my "married life", since I have not that much emotion or fun as I will be able to! ha-ha-ha-ha! just wait for what comes ahead... heheheheh) everybody knows how life's just the kingdom of controversies! (man, am I not a poet today!!! heheheheh)
time's rushing by, still got a lot to do... and I can't recall of anything else worth mentioning... live for tomorrow! (nah, working w/ prepositions... I mean, I'm making up an entire lesson on this crap's usage! thank God I love grammar... hauheuhauhe)
b back 2morrow, I'll try... hehehehe

"post enCAGEment"

hehe j/k...
just to let "you" know we've survived, we're now engaged w/ our beautiful gold rings shining on our hands... isn't it romantic? hehe
got pix, and even a movie of "the" moment... yeah, the proposal was all recorded! heheheh
in front of everyone... even I got embarrased! heheheh
but it was nice... just fine! and we had fun! now, it's all "over"... I mean, already through! nah, u know what I mean... the "stress" of the moment is gone, next step, wedding settings! many things have been already checked and some arrengements will be done... all for the best! and that's what we want... which means: GOD'S WILL in all ways!
in the midst of it all, holidays and "trying-not-to-worry" about the stuff coming up in the "upcoming" year... such as graduation and stuff...
and now, mom is w/ family, I'll be w/ his family... already feeling the weight of the change of life that's waiting for me very shortly! like... my last end of year as single... away from my mom, now that we've been getting along so well - believe it or not! hehe that's what all of this causes... (seriously, I'm pretty sure I'll miss her and all of this, I already do! but it's normal! comes w/ life... just part of it!) and no, it's not too early, I'm not desperate! it's just better to have as many things as possible closest to the prepared as possible so I can keep calm until the end of the process! and also, being cautious, since I'll be into so much... oh, God bless us!
and I can't be less thankfull to all those people around us, our family and friends! never been so happy and loved!

"I can feel it coming up..."

THE LAST DAY B4 "THE DAY"! (1st level hehe)

AND MY "FIANCÉ-TO-BE(TOMORROW)" IS THE B-DAY BOY! SO MUCH EMOTION FOR JUST ONE DAY... heheheheheheh and it's not even the wedding yet! just let me... this is totally new! I recommend to every1!!!!! hehehehe
we're trusting God and our friends, and going on... though it's december, the "partiest" month ever, what can we do, right? it's just this single time in life! (I mean the engagement, not his b-day, of course...)
and for the very 1st time we're really going to spend his day together (not only the 2 of us, but the "us" as a 2! hehe), and plus, the entire end-of-the-year holiday season!!! this is really special, never happend b4! 1st time of many, for surely sure!
interesting, I never spent a b-day of mine having a bf (excuse me, yes, in the US, but... this doesn't cout!) and I'll b already a fianceé in my next b-day! at least for him, the engagement is only tomorrow! on the other hand, he won't have a b-day as engaged, we're getting married in july! hahahah crazy stupid prospections... hehehehehbut they're just part of this "magical world of the romantic relationships"... guess everyone goes through something like this in the same situation... speaking of that, just to confirm the theory we've already heard... we had a terrible argument-almost-fight a couple of days ago! isn't it just ridiculous!? but we too had this problem!
guess it's the time of the year, many problems at once, the engagement to care about, so much to worry and so... on top of that, he "decided" to get real sick! in the middle of the turmoil, I couldn't do anything alone, I had a bad situation at work, and nothing was set! we didn't think of what we're expecting from each other in such a moment in our lives, we just blowed our tops... (all the neurons were been used I guess...!) but we're alright now, just fine!!! of course...
we really do love each other!!! (aw, isn't it so cute!?!? heheheh)
ok, better go, I'm trying to carry myself on in such times, trying not to get stressed (but I had to remind God I have limits and I was getting to a point that I couldn't take it anymore...) and still there's so much to do from exactly now till tomorrow... and I know myself, I can tell from some signs, like, me being too - but WAY too - espontaneous... to the point of being almost aggressive! hehehehe
anyways... I'm just happy, I AM a happy person, thank You Jesus... and being just glad - couldn't be different! It's like living a dream come true... wait, I AM for real living this! and I couldn't be different... I feel that God's really enjoying that too! we have some very important people around, meaning so much... we can only b thankful and enjoy, coz we also deserve it, right (;
SAY GOOD-BYE TO THIS LIFE... NOT EVEN A "GILRFRIEND" ANYMORE... IT'S ALL GOING TO BE OVER... SO THE NEW CAN COME, AND I'LL BE LIVING - FINALLY - SOMETHING TOTTALY DIFFERENT, I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED B4! breaking barriers, enough or going back and forth... that's how I feel!!!

(hm, not caring about "sizes and colours" today, ok? I trully apologize... hehe)
