Volcanic ash

Well, as we all know from the news last week the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull caused a chaos to thousands or better millions of people. And I was one of them. The day it went off I was set to go to South of France (Saint Jean de la Blaquière) to shoot a catalogue for People Tree. I was ready to get my cab when my phone rang saying to stay on stand by because our flight - basically all flights that day - got canceled. Two hours later I get a phone call saying we are suppose to meet anyway and that we were going by car. Wow they must be really wanting to shoot this catalogue. Why not postponed for next week?? I thought.
Anyway, cutting the story short. We had to travel for 17 hours to get to our destination. 8 of us in a van. With uncomfortable seats, not enough space for legs, no arm rest, and no heating. During the night I was literally freezing my ass off. Got to our destination at 5 am to be waken by the make up artist at 9 am to start shooting right away. And for my surprise I wasn't that tired.
My trip ended up being longer than I thought. By the second day the volcano was still erupting and still no flights. Third day the same. When I got the news I was going to be shooting the whole catalogue myself. The other models couldn't make it due to the volcano. Well, what to do... One side of me was happy because that meant more £££ in my pocket but the other side really wanted to just go back home.
The crew was amazing. The funniest English people I have had work with so far.... They were hilarious.
I've never been in South of France before and I'm sure I will be back soon. I just loved the place!!! Here are some pics.

Polar Bears by Mark Haddon

I must said that I haven't been in a such engaging play in a long time. Just to remind you that most of my teenage years I spent seeing my sister act in a several theaters around town (Curitiba). All our group of friends were mostly theater actors. We always had a good laugh - we still do.
I think plays are so enigmatic and if it is done with passion and obviously an excellent acting the only thing left to do is for you to leave your mind to go with it. Its way better than watching a movie because its happening right there at that exactly second.
Anyway, Polar Bears was all that together as Charles Spencer from the Telegraph puts it: "Irritatingly arty and terminally depressing." All characters are very intense and every single one of the cast does an outstanding act. Over here you can have look a bit more into the Cast of Polar Bears.
If you are around London I totally recommend you to go and watch it. You won't regret it! You can get more information in here Donmar Warehouse.

Continuation

So, continuing from where we stop. The Sun was shinning and the weather was perfect for our activity. I was even getting a bit of sunburn. If I only knew it was going to get this hot I would have brought my sun lotion along!!! Well, next time!
Our second ride was waaayyy better than first. For the first time I kept my eyes open ALL the time. Usually, I never open my eyes because I'm too scared too see how high we are and what is about to come. But maaaannn, with eyes open its whole new level of fun. I LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!! From now on I'm going to always keep my eyes open and of course scream until I get a sore throat.
The only problem was the waiting in line process. Ohhh we needed to be very patient, in the other hand every minute gone by meant that our turn to go for a ride was coming closer and closer.
Sadly, we only had time to go for only 4 rides. The park closed at 6pm. boooo :(
Anyway, last one we went was a ride called SAW. Oh my Lord!! That was the scariest ride I have ever been to!!! Specially because me and Tifanny decided to follow Patrick and Daniel on the first seats!!!! What adrenalin!! When we got to the top, I closed my eyes and scream from the top of my lungs. Than Patrick shouted: "Open you eyeeees!" Oh boy, the most beautiful view of Thorpe park. Up there on the ride, hundreds and hundreds of meters high felt like we are literally flying. The BEST feeling!!
I"m so glad I went to Thorpe park with my brothers in Christ. I love them and we are surely repeating this very soon. Can't wait for the Summer to kick in... Ahhhh it's going to be so much fun! Till then I need to finish my projects for Uni. Whoooppeee
God bless!!

Thorpe Park

One of the best days of this year so far... What a day! We decide to leave early morning so we could get as early as possible to the park. But obviously that didn't happen. On our way we needed to go north and pick up Patrick - he had some work to do before and couldn't meet earlier and me of course arrived at the meeting place a couple of minutes late.
Getting off London was another mission since we all needed to pee because of the long ride that was ahead of us. We stop at gas station to fill up the tank and they had NO toilet for customers. Ridiculous! Alright, now we needed to find a Sainsburys supermarket to go and do our thing... Anyway, we left London 1 hour behind schedule. Great! But nothing could change our whoopee mood. We were so happy to go to THORPE plus it was a beautiful day with temperature rising high. That time of the morning was marking 13ºC but promising to get to 18ºC. AMAZING!!
Finally made it. And as soon as we pull out the car I looked around and it seems like every single teenager in London had the idea to go to Thorpe park. I wonder why??
Because we were in a big group with ages ranging from 11 to 28, obviously our decision on which ride to go first was a little tense. In the end, we all decide to go in each one according to the map order. (Particularly, I thought it wasn't the best idea).
OK! In line to our first ride. We waited for 1 hour and it wasn't that great either. I left a bit dizzy with my head spinning. I'm not a big fan of rides that goes in circles...



Continues tomorrow:)

Preassure

I think I need to come to terms that: I work better when I'm under pressure. I try to do work before hand but never works. I must change the way I do things. I need to be more prepare and do some kind of schedule so I don't let things behind and do the best I can in everything.
I might be pushing myself too hard but if I don't do this, no one will do it for me.
Its just a thought for the day... Hope you're all doing well.

JESUS CHRIST

Please read the following BBC article. Finally BBC has spoken about Christ!! Aleluia!!
