Friday the 13th.
Hi Alex, and hi everyone.
How are you? Finally the weekend comes.
Wow!!! Thanks to talk about your family, they seem to be great people, and you have a large family. You probably have lots of fun with them. Something similar happens to me when I walk down the streets with my mother. However it´s among her friends. It seems that my mom knows every human being in our neighbourhood, and all the time she has to stop to say hello, and talk about the weather and so on. Sometimes is annoying, but in the other hand, it´s so good to see how much people like her, and enjoying her company.
Hey, are you a superstitiouns person? I just remembered that today is Friday the 13th when I was brushing my teeth before I go to work. I´m not a kind of superstitious person, actually the only thing that I don´t like to do is pass under a ladder ( this means that you are in trouble), but I just do it in order to prevent an accident: something can falls down on me, and that´s would be a bad luck indeed!
I don´t mind if I cross the street and meet a black cat, do you? Today TV will show horror films, which in the end the villain always appears ready to attack a brand new victim, and spread lots and lots of blood on the screen. I´m not a fan of this kind of films, so I´m going to watch CSI today.
Although I´ve heard about Samuel Beckett books, I´ve never read any of his books. Ops! It´s my fault. Could you recommend one of them to me?
Now, I read Kafka, but only The Metamorphosis, wich I enjoyed very much.
Errr... Excuse me, excuse me. Let´s change of subject. Who´s the strange one here? Hmmm, hmm?
It´s not me strickingly handsome teacher, who thinks that fish are vegetables ( I´m looking foward to your explanation), and besides that, maybe we´re not talking about the same fudge. Mine is made of milk, suggar and butter ( I´m not sure about the butter), and sometimes to improve it, it´s used to put grated coconut or pieces of dryed plum. And moreover the Minas cheese is a perfect complement. If the Minas cheese wouldn´t be perishable, I would send a Sedex straight to Oxford Street contents the Minas cheese and a jar of Minas fudge to you, and then Alex, you would taste a delicious dessert [ :) ].
I´m not vegetarian, I just enjoy eating health food, and of course, I must need to eat health food, due I have high cholesterol levels in my blood. Although I have healthy feeding habits and work out everyday, my cholesterol never goes down. My doctor says that is due my stressful routine, and there is also a relation with my background genetic. So it was a long time ago that I ate my Minas cheese with hmmm... fudge. And Feijoada I didn´t remember anymore when I have it. Thanks God that chicken with okra ( yes Alinor, it´s frango com quiabo, I think I spelled wrongly, thanks for your explanation), it´s a light dish. Oh, by the way, okra is a vegetable.
Farida I would love your country food, it sounds delicious. Many thanks for your invitation. Some of the ingredients are familiar to me, once there is a small muslim community here in Mogi, and I could taste some of their dishs. And about the pictures, I don´t know if I can show any to you, because I don´t have a camera, so... I owe this for you.
Adriana I read about the Capixaba food some years ago, and sounds great. You are a lucky girl! You live near Garoto, am I right? Garoto makes my favourite chocolate, Talento.
One more thing! I almost forget! Alex I liked the egg-rolling picture.
Have a nice weekend, see you on Monday,
Ana Paula.

Hi,i think it is very weird to regard fish as vegetables like Alex.Hehe,it is a joy to read your blog,what's more,Alex's humourous writing style has a good effect on your blog if you agree with me.whatever,you are more sensible than our teacher.Sorry to hear you have a high cholesterol level in your blood,you should be careful about the ingredients in the food you take in.Wish you happy every weekend.
Good day Paula! ^^ I enjoy eating healthy food too. I don't eat pork or beef or any animal. I don't not a vegeterian either. I really love animal and I won't hurt them or eating them. Though I eat fish like tuna and salmon. Fudge sounds very interesting to me right now. I love snack so much and I am sure I would love it. Um...I am getting hungry just thinking about snack >.< I am not a superstitious person and never believe anything about Friday 13th. To me it's an interesting day where I'm able to hear some "special sharings" on the media ^^ Enjoy weekend :) I'm looking forward to your Monday blog ^^
Hi Ana Paula. Boooo...13th friday. I had a friday night free of horror films. Don't you like this kind of films? Neither do I! I'm a fan of ER and LOST. I like also to watch the DW channel(from Germany)when they are speaking english. I can understand easely and I like their style and politeness. I also like to watch FOX NEWS but when they are all talking at the same time during debates, I feel like a blind in a war. But I like to try to decifer what they are talking...it's like a game for me. I am not a superstitious woman(at least I don't admit that!)...anyway, I have decided to post my comment on saturday morning. Poor Alex. He doesn't know what we are talking about. Between you and me...let him taste a piece of fudge(if this is the correct name of the sweet made of milk and sugar) or guava sweet with a piece of Minas cheese and he will know why we call this dessert " Romeu e Julieta". It's a pity that you don't have a cam. I could lend you the mine but how can we do that? Are you a fan of Talento? Now I understand why you are literally a talented girl! May I send a message to Farida? Farida, feel invited to our country too. You are really nice.
Hi,Ana Paula I think there is no unlucky days, it´s only the things you do it´s responsible of your way of life.Í´m right?.. I dont´t know but it´s my thinking. See you,and congratulations for your blog,it´s very interesting.!!! Sorry by errors i´m a principiant;) Bye.
Dear Ana Paula, if I were to tell you that Minas is a type of cheese that has been traditionally produced in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Is this correct? The cheese comes in three varieties, named Frescal(fresh cheese), Meia-cura (slightly matured cheese) and Curado (matured cheese)? A fourth variety, branded Queijo Padrão (standard cheese) has been developed more recently and can be found in nearly all supermarkets and grocery stores in Brazil? Which one you like the best Ana Paula? I also love cheese. Love to you all...
Talking about books or other culture things ,It's really weird between me(chinese,oriental) and westerner.As you mentioned "Samuel Beckett ""Kafka", those are who I don't know,the same,westerner don't know anything about "Wu Cheng'en ""Sun zi" though.It is just a phenomenon.About 6 months ago,I talked to one 19 yrs young man whose name is Luis Otavio from Brazil as a Exchange Student in Taiwan now(Sep,2006-June 2007),he totally agreed this.It is the observation of the culture exchange.

Hi,I'm Chris I live in Castellón, I'm busy studying English language three days a week, I can read English quite well but I need to improve my listening,writing and speaking, I think is a good idea to know new people, I've tried to work hard but I'm not a very good student. All the other students understand and learn to do things quickly but not me. I'm looking forward to yours next blog. CHRIS
