About Me

Blogger:
Name: Monica Alves
I was born in Brazil but lived all over the place, Algeria, France, England, Europe in general, never been to the US though.By the time I came back to Brazil i had an 8 yrs old son and was a single parent. This moment in my life is a new beggining. My boy is 25 and all grown up (or so he thinks...) So this is a time for myself and I'm really looking forward to next 50 years...

i've been really busy the last couple of days. a translation came up with the usual 'for yesterday' deadline. so it was all work and no play this weekend. but yesterday night, when finally I could relax, i browsed around a bit... and wow! there they were, all those people demonstrating in front of the white house. i'd just about given up hope, i have to confess, but it was great! finally people were acting... reacting... showing their faces and speaking their minds. i'm happy... so america is coming back to life again, finally...

hey my american brothers and sisters, i hope you keep it up! and not just for the sake of the american boys over there, but for all the innocent... the chidren... who must have witnessed such terrible things. i hope you're able to rethink your country. it's a great country. it's a powerfull country. but with that comes heavy responsability.

do not allow your governments do roam abroad anymore. so much killing is done in the name of peace... in the name of god! you should be better than that. you are better than that.  my heart goes out to you... keep marching... the world needs informed and responsible american citizens... love

this is bella as a pup, she's was so cute i just had to show her off. she's a year old now and so sweet she could
melt. so yes, you've guessed it i love animals, i think it runs in the family, my brother is a vet and on my mum's side of the family people are crazy about dogs... the little one on the photo with me is ninotchka, i rescued her from the streets after some stupid guy kicked her, i very nearly got into a fight with him.

invitation to a party

me Hi all, i'm medusa and that there is me obviously. i was born in brazil,  rio de janeiro, but i spent half of my life here and there. by the time i was 13 i was in france and then moved to england  where i lived for 15 years and where my son was born, so i speak three languages and i'm a bit of a freak, i don't really belong anywhere, but then again i belong everywhere _ hence the title of this blog. anyway, i'll be cellebrating my birthday on the 30th of this month. half a century of being around in this wonderfull world. 50 years young _ that is quite something! and being a kind of displaced  person i think it would be appropriate to share this really special moment in my life with the  whole world!

so if you happen to drop by this blog on that date you might enjoy yourselfs a bit, there'll some goodies... and dress casual, i'm not fussy.

ps: don't bring anything, the party is on me.
