Lists

My own version of the above:

1. Listening: to the Script - We Cry / Nothing & Florence & the Machine - You've got the Love.

2. Eating: nothing at the moment. I've just had this amazing chicken croissant at the mall. And earlier today I had a 'brigadeiro' - I'd love to say it's the same as a chocolate truffle, but it's not.. it's even better!

3. Drinking: I had a delicious strawberry juice + milk matte like one hour ago.

4. Wearing: Right now, well, jeans shorts, a mint t-shirt, flats, a leather belt, a watch and ladybug earrings.

5. Feeling: kinda heartbroken / kinda sad for my family / kinda excited for 2012 / kinda happy for my best friend who's finally seeing her boyfriend in person (after a long distance relationship).

6. Weather: we could say it's pretty cool for Manaus (where is usually scorching). It's been raining a lot, so we have this nice weather.

7. Wanting: lots of things - I want our New Year's party to be awesome; I want to go to NY as soon as I can; I want to earn more money so I can save it for my trip to NYC; I want a new blouse for our New Year's party...

This one I bought today so I can dream a little bit

8. Needing: I need my family to stop arguing. This is killing me.

9. Thinking: oh my, I think about so many things at the same time. Well, right now I'm thinking: should I put this or that picture on this post and what should I do next? should I read my new book?

10. Enjoying: that I'm on vacation and I don't have to work tomorrow!!!!!!

Getting by has been the toughest thing after all.

There are some days I just feel like being somewhere else. There's nowhere specific. It's just a feeling that I says: 'You don't have to run all these errands, you don't have to deal with all those people, you don't have to go to work'. That's pretty much how I have been feeling lately. 

I apparently got sick & tired of this city after all.

I was also thinking of alternative ways of getting by every day (specially because lately temperature is one of the reasons I don't feel like going outside - it's 45C today) and I came up with an aim for my next year. That is the only reason that makes me get up every single day and do the things I have to do. 

Don't get me wrong. I'm not depressed or anything. It's just that I'm done with the city, with the weather... Not to mention my life has turned upside down in terms of work, relationships and family - but this is subject for another post.

So, I have to focus on next year and what  I'm doing from now on. I just hope it works. 

And while I do that, I wake up to this sound...

Have a nice day y'all.
