Speaking unknowingly




"aHa Hr Tnw"

means : 'a fighter for honor' translated from hyerogliphs scripts.

the amazing Egypt always has been my favorite subject in social studies.
" the emotion is difficult to express as i trot past unimaginable changer, tourist filing past sights...that, in 1915 had been nothing.
at all mere sand dunes still shattering mysterie."
This stretch from the book " The Egyptologist ", by Arthur Philiphis.
i definately recomend this interesting and cool book for those people whoare amazed by the mysteries of egypt stories and novels.

" the egyptologist " is structered as journals, letters, telegrams, and drawings, from several different points of view. The main story is set in 1922, tell us a funny , pathetic storie about a hopeful explorer who risks more of his life and savings on an apparently fantastic effort to find the tomb of an apocryphal or authencity Egyptian king, working near Howard Carter , the man who discovered the tomb of the king Tutankhamun.


also...


".....I am the lord of all Egypt ,
the son of RA
Horus' essence
Master of Nile
Host of every feast
Lover of every woman
Lord of every man
Every hill, every cliff
every beast ......."

( quatrain, 23 a & b only)


one of my favorite parts of the book...
funny, because i confess that i had to read 3 times to get what Arthur really meant. what he wanted to pass to the readers.
but now i get it, of coarse!


btw....

vacation is almost over....fun or not
i just hope my nightmare called brendow is not in my class....

speaking of nightmares......
i also hope that t.b. don't ever try to mess with me again.....
i'll be ready

"The Salty Feeling"



hey ana, i loved your story, it was very cool and i could picture it in my mind, so it was very detailed. love it! you see, ana is a good writer too! but now, it's my turn to show that i can write, too. so, i'm gonna push all of my silliness and craziness away, and get more emotional. comment this post so i know how you felt when you read this, i just want to know if i can really get someone emotional with my writing. thanks! ok, let's get to the story...




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


hmm. seaweed. salt. extreme wind. of course! the beach.


i was just finishing my masterpiece of a sandcastle. i just put sand in my bucket, flipped it over, and stuck shells i liked on the top. it's my favorite kind of way to do a sandcastle, simple, yet cute.


my mom was sun-tanning, reading a book. my sister was swimming, as always. my mom always called her a fish because of all the time she would spend swimming at the beach.




i looked upwards, into the sky. it was pearl-blue. the glistening yellow-gold sunlight hurt my eyes, so i squinted. clouds were visiting, but they were barely visible, just white puffs. then, i looked to my sandcastle, and around it. the beige sand was warm, the way i like it. i prefer this way because i can lie down the sand without a towel and be perfectly comfortable.




i did this, and lied down on my side. i started playing with the sand, swirling it around, flinging it, and just taking the palm of my hand and stroking the sand. i started to fling it, and the wind pushed it to my face. pthhhhhhhh! ugh! sand in my mouth! i figured i had to take a dip in the water. so i walked down to the shore, and stuck my feet in the water, and i kept wlking until the water reached above my waist, then squinted my eyes closed and plugged my nose. i saw my sister, and we waved to each other.




SPLASH! i went under-water.




i opened my eyes for fun, black darkness wasn't what i wanted to see, even though i didn't have my goggles with me. i opened them, and i looked around... just seaweed and sea-green water. hm. i went back up, and my eyes felt irritated and salty. time to walk up on back to our stuff.


freezing, i wrapped myself tight in a towel. i sat in my beach chair and waited for the sun to dry me. i felt warmness from the sun. the clouds came in and pushed the sun away... no more warmth!




i ended up sleeping. but it was just a cat nap, so it was about 20 min. long. i felt for my hair, and it was half-dry. groaning because i was cold and the sun dissapeared, i grabbed a cola and a snack-bag filled with goldfish. yum, my favorite snack for the beach! :)


after my delicious snack, i unwrapped myself from the now wet towel, (using wet towels always bothers me) and grabbed my book. reading makes you smarter! :)




but i don't wanna go, mommy! the words my sister said. oh well, we had to go, it was getting close to dusk. i couldn't wait to have a shower, i felt all salty and my hair stiffened. (which irritates me SO much..) before i knew it, night came.




my day at the beach was over.

Imagination




i woke up in the morning at 8am in my house (brasil). I opened my eyes slowly. I could feel the sun in my face. the first thing i saw was the old necklace that i found the other day in 'the lost world' on my desk beside me.

the lost world is my backyard. we'd like to call 'the lost world' because my backyard had a huge tree, and for me and my friends it was kind of dangerous. In our imagination, my backyard, the lost world was a forest like in the series " sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost world "

we were and are fans number one . I always pretended to be Marguerite Krux ( Rachel Blakely), Mathews, my brother pretended to be John Roxton ( Willian snow), and my old old friend Anna Luiza pretended to be Veronica ( Jennifer O'dell). As a kid, me and my friends had a great times watching and living the magical and amazing story of our fake ' Lost World '

i knew that something was going to happen that day.

so i got off bed, i'd put my clothes on it , and went to the kitchen where my mom was cooking something that smells delicious.

i start to talk with her about the dream i had last night. while i was eating my breakfast, she told me that Soraia is coming over at 10 o' clock. After that i had an idea in my clever mind: if Soraia is coming here she can bring one of my best friends: Anna Luiza !

wait ...

the only problem is that we have school today! damn it ! =[

but i can ask my mom to ask her mom. its just one day.......and the school year is almost over....

then i told my mom my idea, and quess what ? she liked. The hard part is ask Soraia. but my mom conviced her. I couldn't wait, i was so freaking happy that day. i ran to my bedroom, i got my backpack , and i put inside my 'spy' equipment.

I'd also put the necklace in my pocket. too bad Gabriela and Ludmilla couldn't come too! would be too good to be truth! they were probably at morning school .

my brother heard that Luiza is coming over, he got very excited too.

i knew that he had a crush on her, and i also knew that we are going to the ' Lost world ' because that's why i asked my mom to invite her, so we can figure out what is happening there. Later i made herb tea from Cidreira. i use to drink them every morning,,,=]

for a second i thought of write in my diary when my mom annouced that luiza and Soraia arrived. we hugged like sisters, then we ran to my room where i showed her my stuff.

nothing make us happier than go to the lost world, it's KIDS things ..ya know...

we went there and my brother was coming behind us.

it was such a sunny day! (gorgeous) . we got tired to walk in there, so we stopped to take a break.

we sat on a large rock, under the shade of our favorite tree. i brought food.

we ate, and after few minutes we went back on the track. 30 minutes had passed but none of ours enemies appeared.

i would tell Luiza about the necklace when the sky turned gray, the rain begin to pour, and worst : the mud begin to pull us to the bottom of the hole! we tried to escaped

but that was stronger than us all.but i go an idea once again !

i was being pulled down by the mud, but luiza was saved .so i asked her to fill a jar with dry mud

quickly she gave me the jar and Mathews and me finally escaped from it ! after all we didn't see the time running , was 6 o'clock already!

and luiza's mom called her to go home.

you might think i am crazy , but that day was the best of my entire life

i never had such fun, i never laugh like i did that day

coarse! i was 8 years old, my brother was 6, and anna luiza was also 8.

this maybe will be part of my short story, that i am making.

that is one advantage when you are a child, don't you think ?!

everything can change in a second, when you have imagination!

oh !....by the way...i can wait for school...

even though i am having this bad feeling about it.....DON'T CARE!"


have a good night !

bye bye

In The Month Of AUGUST!


HEY YOOO!!

i haven't posted anything in the last two days because i've been busy.

so, ana, you sound depressed. hm. feelin' a little sad? eat some ice cream. it works for me. sometimes.
and about the picture here. what the heck?!
who was the idiot that did that??
hm. must've been einstein.
(and for all you people that don't know, i was being sarcastic...)
last time i checked the dictionary, 'garbage' and 'trash' are the same thing. but, i guess the GENIUS that wrote this sign forgot to look in the dictionary. hehe. psh-saw.
enough about garbage, can you believe this weather? it gets so sticky... ugh. the mosquitos aren't that nice either. so annoying. and school... it's around the corner!! it's gonna get here sooooon.. but the good part is that you make new friends and ya get a new teacher! but, the problem might be that you get a mean teacher, and that will not be fun. it will be suckish.
i'm gettin hungry. random statement. o ya, btw, ana sounds like she used to have a good time when she was younger! hm, playin' lots of pranks on your grandma, hangin' out with friends, etc. but ana, don't you have fun here with your new friends, too? come on! i'm one of them!
k, see you guys later.
Luiza OUT!

best times



I fortunately survived , but where's luiza ?

she didn't post today....strange

but i am happy today because my friends in brasil wrote to me

i really miss them.

i remember when i was a child and me and my friends use to play together to annoy my grandmother,,,it was really fun ] ( poor gradmother! )

it sounds like we were bad, just like any other CRAZY kid

but my grandmother new that we were just fooling around

i was a naughty kid, so ?!

we also liked to peek and run inside her lovely house or make a biggest mess of mud doing the fake cake and hot chocolate....

..good times......good times...... .... ... .... ....... ....... ....... ...... ..... ...=[

sometimes i just wanted to go back to brasil and remember the old days with my friends, play with them again, listen to my granfather's scary stories
but i can't , because even if i go back tomorrow

i know i grew up, just like they did

it will never be the same , everybody is too busy working, studing, living their own lives
they'll never have time to ME anymore,

because i left them when they needed me

i left my 'good life', my 'children life'
to start to fight against the real world in another country,
....too bad we can't go back in the past

its better to look at Mr. Brightside, and drown the memories out
because maybe something or someone will surprise you someday

i hope , that's the right thing to do
i dream life

"i started out with nothing, and i still have most of it!"


hi, guys.......

let me confess something:
i really didn't expect to be so confusing to write a story. I think i got lost in thought at the middle of the story, it was an (unfamiliar territory)....=[
i have to continue without crashing the begining of it. because i wrote the first two chapters too fast ........ now i realize that everything i wrote in 1 week is nothing! Nooooooothing !!! just doesn't make any sentece what i just said...i know...... ..... ... ...

Anyways....i will find a way to continue without explode my brain out.
which me luck ( i need it )

p.s ===> if i survive, i'll right some more later
i must go now, my sister is probably doing something that she shouldn't ....she's too quiet.

bye
bye
