Dear little kid that was sitting right next to me yesterday on my flight back,

Don't ever look at other people's computer screen, that is not very polite!! I apologize if you got traumatized when you saw a dead woman's body coming out of a horse's womb. I was watching Hannibal, not my fault that they put a little kid by my side. Good manners say you should not look over other people's shoulder, and that was the lesson you might have learned the hardest way yesterday! Parents you can thank me for this one...

Maybe my flight attendant was some kind of comedian in his free time

I seriously have a problem in understanding Ryanair! Flight attendant from yesterday's flight:

"Hi, my name is Paulo and I am truly happy to introduce your crew for tonight's flight. Back in the cabin we have Isabel who will be my future ex-wife!!... .... .... I will ask you not to smoke throughout the flight and trust me I know it is hard since I am also a smoker, but also I must add that smoking is bad for your health and causes erectile dysfunction.

And I am like: what the fuck was this? My future ex-wife? Erectile dysfunction, is he talking about his own experience or something?

Babel tower

Recently Portugal and Brazil made an agreement to uniformize the Portuguese language in both countries! I think it would be a great idea to do it worldwide! I propose English as universal language and just let's drop all other languages! The fact that I am struggling with German as nothing to do with this awesome idea...

Thought of the day

This country has a lot of good looking men!!! I just wish they would carry a visible tag saying whether they are gay or not!

I get so pissed off when I hear the amount of money football players make! And here I am busting my ass to get my PhD. Maybe in a near future instead of soccer teams in Middle East we will have some freakin' labs there paying me a ton of money to convince me to join. A girl can only dream...

Happy New Year =)

Here I was thinking about my 2013, 2013 was not the best year of my life! I had a crapy 2013 with some very few, but very good moments. For next year I ask for health and wealth, and from there I will make it work!
Many things will change in my life in 2014, and no it's not part of my new year resolutions because I have none. I am not starting any crazy diet, or getting a new hair cut, I am just realizing as I am getting older that life just changes and there's nothing you can do to stop it. So just roll with it...
Next year I will be moving to Heidelberg (small but CUTE place in Germany), despite all the nasty comments from my friends saying I should have gone otherwise. I will start a postdoc position and try to do the best out of it, we shall see how it goes.
For you guys I wish all the best for 2014 =)
And to finish the year with something stupid as it is kind of a rule in this blog, I introduce you to the New Year's eve tradition in a small place called Lebanon in United States, there they usually drop at midnight a 90 Kg sausage (called Bologna) to celebrate the New Year. I heard this from a friend who actually watched this happening, which makes me wonder about some of my friends mental health!

PS: Almost forgot to wish for a better year for my country, because seriously it is starting to be hard to get any worse than this.

And then you ask me why I am not looking fwd to have kids

I called my cousin who has a 6 year old daughter called M. that picks up the phone:
M: Who's this?
Me: It's Bi, can I speak with your mum?
M: No!!!
Me: Why not?
M: Because you can't be Bi. Bi is in heaven!
Me: If I am talking to you it's because I can't be in heaven, right?
M: No, no, no! Aunt G (my mom) is at her place, MM (my sister) is with her husband, and Bi is in heaven, so you can't be Bi.
Me: So if I give you a chocolate next time I see you, will you tell your mom to come to the phone?
M: Mooooommm, Bi is on the phone.

So apparently I might have died and no one told me about this, and if I am not death and I get to die in the next few days, this might have been a premonition... Still bribing a kid with chocolate is the only way I actually can get some control. Yesterday she also asked me if I should't already be married because my sister already was. Thank God grown ups don't say everything that comes to their minds =P
