Paulistana: Be or not to be

Paulistana is a woman who was born in São Paulo city. I'm always going to be Paulistana, I was born there, I speak like one and sometimes I behave like one.

To behave like a paulistana means to take the first step, never to wait for the guy to come and talk to you. Always make the first move!

Although today I had the best opportunity ever and my friends helping me out on it (principly Dan and B), I didn't have the courage to do so. This hottie who works on one of the best clubs in town gave me so many openings to act on it and behave like a Paulistana but I didn't take it (fucking stupid!!). I wasn't drunk or high or anything but I didn't have the courage to be myself... I CANNOT BELIEVE!! Being a Paulistana is in my blood and for some weird reason I decided to play naive and I ended up leaving as it was...And now I'm here, at 5:00am writting on this blog getting ready to sleep on my own AGAIN!!!

I just wonder when did I lose the PAULISTANA way of living and became this pussy girl? Anyway, everyday I get stronger and more confident to bring back my Paulistana way or as I'd like to call: Lélly Abranches.

When Lélly Abranches get fully back in town, Brisbane watch out because I'm going to ROCK THIS CITY!!!

The end of the day I'm not sure if he acts like that with every girl or only with me but hopefully I'm soon to find out!!

I HATE my mobile when I'm drunk!!

Throw the first stone who has never called or text someone at 3:00am while you were drunk or too fucked up in a big night out!! I believe it might be an acceptable and even common behaviour when you do it sometimes but the problem is when you do that often and worse, when you text everybody in your phonebook just to tell them that you are having a BLAST!!

My issue is that I cannot control myself and once a while I write things that I rather keep in private but some crazy reason, the serotonine is high and I feel the urge to say what I'm thinking or feeling (FUCKING LATIN BLOOD!!). This practice of random messaging may be considered annoying by some people but most of my friends like it, reply to my messages and worst of all, now they are doing the same. Sometimes I get messages at 3:00am on a friday saying "it's another random message" and that is all...

I supposed I caused a domino effect amongst some of my friends with the random text message so WATCH OUT they might do it to YOU too!! And maybe you get bitten by the hi-tech bug and join the All-nighters Club where you don't have to do anything but send random messages to your friends in very inconveniente times of the morning just to say that you are having a great time while he/she is sleeping (or was!!) and perhaps feel shitty next day not only because you have the worst hangover ever but also because you sent a random message to someone that you shouldn't!! If you have done it before you know the feeling of looking at your mobile and saying: I HATE my mobile when I'm drunk!!

PS.: I know you girls will laugh about this one as you know how much I HATE my mobile when I'm drunk!!! haha

Why I make plans???

Today is my second day off in a row, so no work or TAFE to worry about! When I see a day off in my roster I start to make plans, to idealize what is meant to be a very productive day however it never turns out the way I thought it would!

Take today for instance, here I am in front of the computer creating this blog while I was meant to be studying about mangroves! It's lunch time already and I'm thinking about what I'm going to cook for myself. Afterwards will be time for washing up, having a cig while admiring the view from my varandah and when I come back to earth and check the time, I will most certainly be late to meet Paula at some bar in the city to have a couple of beers before we meet the other girls! I have promised myself that I would go for only 2 beers but I know myself well enough to understand that if I'm having a great time, I will stay there for a while but even if I decide to come back home for any reason, I will be a bit tipsy to try to study. I suppose I studyed enough last night and that should do the trick!

So here is my question: Why do I bother making plans for my days off if in the end I change my mind and do whatever I feel like? I suppose there are two answers and none is wrong: I make plans because I like to have an objective, something to look forward to and I don't normally follow my plans for the simple fact that I CAN!!! I live in my little purple world where I have the power to do so!!
