I came to Casablanca for the waters

- What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca, Rick?
- My health, Louis. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
- The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
- I was misinformed.

I love this Casablanca dialog. This is the kind of lie that has an ironic half-smile and says "no, I’m not answering your question, you’re being invasive".

But I hate pretentious lies, lies from people that are clearly trying to fool you.

Girls night out - part III


- Relationships are always so complicated...

- I agree. That's why I don't have a steady boyfriend.

- What? What about that guy...?

- Oh, you are right, I do have one.

Girls night out - part II


- I was all ready, waxed, manicured, massaged, everything. I even bough new panties with a red cross on the front because he's a doctor, as you know. I thought it would be a fun touch.

- I can't believe you, Bibs! You are the funniest! What did he think of it?

- He looked at me and started laughing like a mad man.

............................

- Did we tell you about that party in Pinda?

- You went all the way to Pindamonhangaba just to go to a party?

- Yes, the two of us and Carol - and we met a friend there. We arrived at the party and soon got lost from him. We just saw him again when there was a crowd around a fight. When we got close to take a look, there he was, punching a drunk guy that flerted with one of us.

- Oh! And what happened next?

- Well, then we did what every smart woman does when she sees a fight: we yelled. And, after yelling, each one grabbed a chair, made a Charlie's Angels face and tried to help.

............................


- Let me understand this right. You are telling me that you would go to the gym everyday, spent the entire afternoon there and, even though, you were fat?

- Yes, that't right. Carol had a restaurant on the floor above the Gym. We would face a spinning class and then run upstairs to hidrate the body with mojitos. And we would spend hours playing backgammon and eating those little potato breads that she makes.

............................


What do the handbags think of our conversations, when we leave them all together, on a chair?

Girls night out - part I


- We are on our way to Kosushi, do you want to meet us there?

- Oh, please, not sushi again, I ate sushi yesterday...

- We like sushi because it's light but, if you prefer, we can eat a little salad somewhere.

- Great! See you at Burger Bistro in half an hour.


In the picture, burger with creamy cheese sauce and chives. On the back, burger with a wild mushroom sauce. Each of them sitting on a nest of potatoes. Out of the picture, lots of wine and apple pie with ice cream. We are not that good with being light.

Things you can say just by looking at him


1. He's so handsome! I know it's an obvious thing to say just by looking at him and maybe it wouldn't deserve to be in this list, once it doesn't show my skills in understanding people by looking at them. But he really is very handsome and this is the first thing that comes to my mind when I look at him.

2. The jeans were ripped on purpose. The tank top, under the shirt, was put there to create a style and not to protect his body from the weather. The necklaces were strategically tangled.

3. This earring will fall again in the middle of a make out session. And he'll buy another, so someone else can make it fall again. It's the cicle of life.

4. Sunglasses and a coke, on a Sunday morning, are there to create a hangover mood. Everything is very well produced to look as natural as posible.

5. He's thoughtful and tender. He drops everything else to take care of you and does everything he can to make you feel safe. And you almost fall in love, but no, for crying out loud, he's your friend. You can't.

6. He's spoiled. It's very important that everything happens how he expects and anything less is not good enough. He gets really offended, crosses boundries, says silly things and never steps back. To try to change this is a very hard task and not many people are up to it.

7. He preaches liberty and stands for casual flings, but deep inside he's a little insecure with most relationship issues. Because he went through something that I can't recall very well but, you know how it is, it's hard to get close to the fire after you got burned.

8. He loves to have everyone around, loving what he does, thinking that he's the cutest person in the entire world. And he might be, the cutest person in the entire world. Don't ask me, take your own conclusions.

9. He likes to attract people and this is horrible, because I like it too and I know that after the initial passion the magic fades out. To be honest, I'm very scared of people like me. But then I'm talking about myself and that's not the purpose of this list.

10. He likes to argue. He says it's not true and gets mad at whoever throws this accusation, but he creates huge arguments from very small issues. And it's very sad, because it hurts people a lot. But most people get over it, because it's just too hard to stay away.

Change of plans


Shoes off again. Sushi, sashimi, sake. And a good conversation going on, with the other side of the table. Some plans change at a Friday night. Thankfully, always for better.
