Today is the last day of the first month of the new year (weird sentence, isn't it?)

Anyway, I'm here to inform you that nothing new has happened so far. No secret plan working (yet), no charming princess found, no new jobs, no extra money (I wish), no (put here whatever you want)...

Ok, there's one new thing: I started swimming the butterfly style. This is going to kill me! I've never seen such difficult thing what so ever!

I've also met a very cute girl, but I know nothing about her (related to her current status - hehe) yet. But it could easily turn into something cool if I'm competent enough, which is more than difficult.

Thanks to the internet I've already got this album, which is due February 20th. Now I'm just waiting for the DVD version to leak. And don't worry, I AM GOING TO BUY the album. Just one more note related to the music world, Maiden was confirmed at Download Festival. It's the 4th time they will headline at Donington Park (+/- 150 thousand people) and sadly no Brazilian tour schedule till now.

Well, I never make such things, you know... I just live the present. But sometimes dreaming is not a bad thing, is it? So I have thought about 2 big things: finding a girlfriend and stop spending so much money.

Both things are extremelly difficult to achieve. I'm getting into a new web of friends right now and I'm sure there will be loads of girls around. But the question is: "So what?". I don't do anything at all. I'm scared to death to make a move. Actually my radar have already spotted 2 "targets" (let's put that way hehe)

The second thing is more "doable". But I haven't started it quite well. I've just came back from the mall where I spent loads of money in a Phillips electric shaver. Now I regret doing that. I could have saved the money or used it for something better. But that's what I think whenever I buy anything, so...

Oh well, what a boring life!

I had some bad news regarding my secret plan yesterday. We were counting on one person, and this person has lots of doubts at the moment, but we're still trying to persuade her to join our boat. Of course nothing is lost yet

Well, if we fail, we will have to look for a substitute and therefore the plan will take longer to take off.

Hmpf!

Last week I resumed my swimming activities (had stopped it during the holidays) and for my surprise my results were incredible. I swam 200 metres in about 5 minutes (ok, I know I'm not Michael Phelps or Ian Thorpe). You may think this simple fact is not that incredible at all. Well it is, seeing from the point of view that it used to take half of the 45 min class to swim the same distance before the holidays break. So since last week I've been swimming around 1000 metres per class (and leaving the pool without being tired). This is still not an outsanding performance but my next step is to double this distance in the next 2-3 months. I'll keep you guys informed about my performance.

Besides that life has been pretty slow. I have a secret plan, which does not depend just on me to happen, but if it does, it will be amazing and it will shake things up a bit! Besides that I'm giving english lessons in courses, companies and private lessons for businesspeople too. The experience has been amazing and it would not surprise me if someday I become a full time english teacher (still too far away from this situation, but who knows...).

It's been a week since I came back home. Back to reality, unfortunately.

My trip was good. It could have been a lot better if it wasn't the argument I had with my sister a couple of days before new year's eve. I'm still not talking to her since that day. I guess if I told you what happened between us you would probably think it's bullshit and I'm making a big deal of it.So I prefer to keep it quiet. Even if what she did is indeed silly, it hurt me deeply.

Anyway, I came home just to find out a pile of bills to pay. Some bills that I had not paid before my trip plus this month's bill. I have absolutely no idea where I'll find the money to pay all of them. Bummer!

I'm also very lazy these days. I'm avoiding restarting (or just being scared of) all the projects I had started before I traveled and I'm also avoid starting the new projects I had in mind for this year. I honestly don't know which is worst...

I wish I could write more for you to read. Maybe I'm too bad in putting some stuff I think in words or I'm too bad developing things in a more detailed way. Or maybe, it's just lack of subject.
