White christmas...



It's practically these photos' "birthday", it's been almost a year and I've only posted them now.

Well, you the saying right? Better late... blah blah

Most of you stalkers probably have seen them on my FB anyway. ;)
So here we go, on the air again!
After a long trip of delayed, canceled and missed flights because of the heavy snow, I finally arrived in Switzerland, just in time for my dear friend's birthday dinner. I even had time to make her birthday cake.













Good food, friends, cake and champagne... what more could I ask for?



















And couple days off for more celebrating... :) no objections.


















Let's just say: "A good time was had by all." ;)



















And of course: Swiss fondue.









Beer Pitt Stop.






















 Brazilian northern food with my brother, his cousin and with other fun (and hilarious) Brazilian and international people.


Who would have though: Acarajé from Bahia-Brazil on a snowy night in Swithzerland!


Acarajé in the snow that's gotta be a sight!

 
Me and my bro in Zürich on December night. :)  















  
A singing Christmas tree, with adorable little "bobble heads"?
OMGosh, stop it now. :P Sooo unbelievably cute!! 
  
Ahhh! Glühwein and hot chocolat to warm our bones. :)

























Love this!






 First time ever ice skating. Super fun!
Not bad at all. (I used to rollerblade a lot as a teen... What, I'm not a teen anymore?? :O)












Even tried some "stunts" ...to which I fell of course.
But I found out that I can skate backwards and do some spinning.
















Christmastime pics:




Amazing dinner. I just made the desert.
Cheers!
                           
Celebrating Christmas ... LIKE A BOSS!


 Present time!













I had 2, super fine, c-mas dinners! I don't have pics of the other one :(  (If the culprit is reading this *hint-hint*)






















 Then one fine very early morning, we headed off towards THE Black Forest, in Germany, to do some skiing.




















Skiing!!! Another super fun thing to do in life.
Again, a first time. :)








So much snow!!! ...I guess I don't exactly blend in. :P





















Its was then "time for Africa" ...More pics will be posted soon!

Jobs. jobs, jobs...

Here's a bit of what I do when I disappear from my blog for months at a time (when I'm in Rio, Brazil)...
Perhaps because I don't find this part so interesting since I feel it's just "going through the motions" most of the time.


But there are some great times, highly educational times... tiring? -Yes. but I've also made some great friends and met some really interesting people in this line of work. ;) What is this line of work?   
Mostly reception at international events, conferences, fairs, business dinners etc. Some interpreting/translating involved from time to time. Modeling. Filling in as an extra in commercials and/or movies.

Sounds fun? Well, some of it is, but not so fun when you have to stand ALL day in 5 inch heals, while looking still looking sharp and smiling, always smiling.* XD






Anyway, here are some pics:
(Some are a couple years old)















Commercials:


 

























Interpreting:
