Blogando a Viagem

Today is Valentines Day  and this is my first post in english. And that’s for you to understand. If you take a brief look you’ll see that I’ve been writing only in portuguese but sometimes you’ll recognize your name…

This blog talks about my trip to the USA. Since the first time I’d thought about come to the USA, what it took to be ready to come and how’s been my life since I arrived here. It’s public, anyone can see. I’m not gonna say that lots and lots of people come here everyday but a bunch of interested girls looking for some au pair information. Friends and family come here too, to see how I’m doing, what’s going on.

And the reason why I chose here to write down something about us it’s either because it’s public and because it talks about my trip.

There wouldn’t be a way to talk about this new life with out talk about you nor us.

Sometimes you complain that I don’t write back, lol, I’m gonna do it right now.

Remember how did we meet? I do.Every single detail. How I was bored and feeling down because I was moving from VA to Jersey and all those things that were happening in my life. I went to the TGI Friday’s that night, completly broke with only 2 dollars. I met my friend and stood there talking to David.

I remember the right moment you walked into the place and I looked at you. It was like something changed in my life that very second that I put my eyes on you. I remember talked to Camila how handsome you were and how I was interested in know you. She teased me but I kept so into know you.

Long time exchanging glances before we defenitly started talk to each other. And the first thing you said was Do you like boxe? I thought  WTH? and how you pointed your toe to your chest and said: I’m a fighter!

You pissed me that night by been so difficult and snobish. But at the same time you had me wanting you even more.

I didn’t know what could happen I was leaving, moving and I didn’t think I would see you again.

I felt really glad when you answer my text and till today I have no words to explain what happen the day after when we met and stood together that cold Sunday night. You caught me up that very night. When you left me at Camila’s house  I was in love with you and even I hadn’t reconigze yet.

It was so strong, so fast, so intense, so amazing that confused me so much…

And I could talk about every little single that happened from that moment to today. All the times that we talked in the phone, all the txt messages, all the nights till 2/3 in the morning chilling, smiling, arguing…lol But it would take more time and space that I have. And I don’t think that I need to make all this public to say how much I love you, how you have changed my life for better.

What I need you to know is: I remember how nervous you were when we first met again for the New Years…how it was good because you were there by my side sharing new hopes and dreams for a new year. For a new life. A had tons and tons of fun with you those few days. After when you came to NJ, I was so boooooooring, such a pain but I’m so thankful for the good times we have. I keep watching the movie we made in Philli and smiling like a dumb to the screen everytime you smile in the video. You look so great, so good and I love you so much. Last  time that I went to DC, OMG I had more and more fun with you.

I have no words to say how or why you’re so special to me. Maybe it’s the way that you’re there for me anytime I need anything. I never had someone in my life that can be close to what you’re. You give me everything I need and beyond. You make me feel loved and the most important: you keep me strong. Throughout the day texting back and forth you make me the company that you know I dont have here and you know how it’s important to me. If it wasn’t you I really don’t know what should my life could look like living in under the situation I’m living now.

May not seems but I see all the things you’ve been doing for me and to show me how important I’m for you. I’ve seen all the changes you’re making in your life and all the efforts to keep me happy…and besides all that belive me I trust you a whole lot!

I know we have talked more than we actually stood together because of the distance but I feel you close to me everyday when I wake up with your good morning txts or when I go to bed after hours talking to you. I wish we could had have some more moments together but I’m not in a hurry coz I know we have a long time to spend and share together. And this time is coming really soon…

I cant wait to NYC next weekend!!! You make me have something to look forward to fight for! I love you! Happy Valentines Day!

Duas semanas atras eu fui pra Philadelfia ou Philli como carinhosamente chamamos por aqui.

Confesso que nao ficamos muito – o Anthony veio para ca e passamos o sabado aqui e o domingo por la. Longe dos 40 minutos que foi dito pela minha host chegar ate Philli custou 2 horas e 14 minutos do meu precioso tempo mais alguns pedagios do meu querido dinheiro.

A viagem foi cansativa, uma vez que o sabadao anterior tinha sido agitado.

Impressoes:

Philli eh linda e um milhao de vezes melhor que NYC – ok, sou suspeita pra falar uma vez que eu nao sou a maior fan de NYC.

As pessoas sao muito descoladas, moderninhas mesmo sabe?

A cidade eh bem antiga e cheia de coisas legais pra visitar como o Museu do Rodin, o Museu da Independencia e o mais fantastico – onde eu fui – o Magic Gardens, que nada mais eh que um labirinto feito de vitral com materiais reciclaveis (http://www.philadelphiasmagicgardens.org/) EH LINDO, sensacional e eu adorei! Recomendo pra todas as pessoas!

Em todo torno do museu tem como ver as obras pelos muros e paredes, eh uma cidade muito artistica

Tambem eh mto antiga da aquela sensacao de cidade velha sabe?

Tem o famoso Steak’n’chesee lanche que eh mtooo gostoso!

Enfim, tem a cidade toda pra conhecer. Eu gostei mto de ir pra la, achei que apesar de tudo valeu a pena, next time eu vou com mais tempo assim fico mais tempo e visito tudo que eu quero!

Beijos

See y’all

Quarta feira passada foi um dia muito importante para mim não só pelo fato que eu iria ver meu namorado e visitar DC no sábado seguinte, mas também porque foi o dia que eu tirei a carteira de motorista de NJ. Como muitos sabem, eu não tinha carteira de motorista na VA porque eu não tinha carro, então quando vim pra ca – leia-se lugar se condições de andar sem ter carro- tive que tirar a carteira  para quem sabe e breve poder dirigir e sair dessa poça.

Muitos empecilhos atrapalharam a minha carteira, como a falta do statement, falta de alguém pra me levar no DMV e por fim a perda do meu cartão de débito. Resolvidos esses perrengues, meu host marcou com o grandpa pra me levar no DMV.

Burocracia é pouco pra provar que você, é você mesmo. Passei 3 vezes em cada guichê, sem exagero. E todas as vezes as pessoas olharam meus documentos um por um fazendo observações do tipo: – Mas não parece você nessa foto… – Porque seu nome aqui é de Matos e aqui é só Matos – haja saco.

A prova mesmo foi tensa, pulei vaaaaaarias questões e voltei, fui errando, errando, chegou uma hora que eu falei: CHEGA! agora vou acertar todas! Aí fui acertando, acertando até que apareceu a tela preta escrita: Você passou! RA!

Fiquei até emocionada. Paguei o que tinha que pagar, fiz mais uma vez a via crucis e sai de lá com a minha carteira de motorista!!! AE!

Voltei para casa.

Fui na casa da vizinha, ela não estava voltei pra minha casa e subi pro meu quarto. Quando eu abri a porta do meu quarto pra fazer nem lembro o que vejo a porta escancarada. OMG! a primeira coisa que eu pensei foi FODEU O CACHORRO FUGIU.

Dito e feito  eu tinha acabado de perder o cachorro FODA!

Sai chamei a vizinha e saimos procurando o maldito. Andamos a vizinha toda, nada do cachorro, comecei a ficar branca, azul, verde. Como que vc explica pra uma host family que vc perdeu o cachorro!

Quando as crianças chegaram contei pra elas e saimos procurando juntos o cachorro.NADA.Liguei pro meu host que nossa me ajudou imensamente, e achou o cachorro por telefone…rs…alguem tinha achado e ligou pra ele pra falar….ALELUIA.

Fui la buscar o cão sarnento…ai que odio que eu fiquei daquele cachorro gente…nem falo nada viu, vida de au pair não é mole não!!!

Próximo post: Philli, impressões, o que fazer e onde ir!

Beijinhos!
