As you know, I created this blog in 2012 because I had just moved to San Francisco (the most amazing city) and I wanted to improve my english. Because of that I started writting posts about the city, its restaurants, landmarks, and things like that.

So, things moved on and I came back to my coutry in 2013. However, I can still give a lot of tips for you that is visiting or living there.

Please, just write me, email me clarabonadeu@gmail.com and I will help you out!

I have been living in Brazil, my native country! In addition to that, I will love to help you out with any information about Brazil too!



Hope to talk to you guys! :)

Sweet Ballet!

Ballet! I see it like a sequence of moviments where you have to control your body using your mind, in accordance with the rhythm of the music. Agreed?! I don't know about you, but when it comes to me it sounds just amazing! 
I dare to say ballet is the hardest kind of dance! That's because I've danced ballet for about 10 years. All these years made me get that Ballet requires you a lot of technique and control of mind. Technique because ballet is very classical and it has specific features, for example point work, turn-out of legs, precise movements and flowing. And control of mind because everything you do with your body you take the responsability for it, then when you don't succeed, or you think you aren't good enough, you blame yourself! That's why ballet is technique, but it's also mind control.
In my opinion, classical ballet is nothing but beautiful! It's nothing but so amazing! To be a ballerina is very hard and you gotta be born with the special technique! Few people have the knack of working hard, giving your heart and soul, and at the same time flowing on a stage, doing what you like (in pain).
When I watch performances of ballet, it really touches me, because seeing a baillarina flowing on the stage, like a flower flying in the wind is beautifully amazing! Seeing a baillarina dancing free while she hides her pain is beautiful. Ballet is pain, but beautiful.
I think this kind of dance gathers two extrems, both lightness and pain! It's painful because you gotta use point, several hours a day, and sometimes your feet might end hurt. That hurt wasn't so much, but was enough to realize how worth was that pain.
That's why to be a ballerina is to few people. It's for those ones who never give up and really love dancing! 

Here comes a video of both ballet dancers, Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg, performing Pas De Deux of Voices of Spring! Watch it! It's worth it!

Happiness

Happiness. That little word is what milion and milion of people look for. That little word. Is there a way to be happy?! Is there only one way to be happy?!
I think happiness depends on a lot from person to person. Each one of us has a story of live and even though you find people who went through the same situation you aren't the same, believe me. Even though every child go to school every day at the same time, wearing the same clothes, they will feel different feelings. That's because anyone is the same, we can be similar, but not the same. 
That's why I think to reach and feel happy is different for every single person! Depends a lot on how we see the world, too. I mean, if you like helping people, you'll be so happy doing that. But I am not talking about this happy. No, I'm talking about the feeling you have everyday when you open your window in the morning. I'm talking about what you feel when you pick your child up at school and they tell you what they did all day. I'm talking about what you feel when you first made dinner! All those situations like watching the sunset, listening to your favourite song, planning your travel, studying to reach what you want... All these situation and a lot more like those, make me feel only one thing. It makes me feel happy! These little things we do probably everyday, yeah, they might be so boring sometimes, but I gotta admit they make me feel happy! 

Have you found your happiness today?!

Unforgettable

Sometimes people try to present their loved ones, hoping they'll be remembered forever. People think that they deserve to have good memories and to be presented. However, the best and hugest present you can ever give to anyone is you presence when they need someone to lean on! If you are this person in someone's life, you'll unforgettable for her! Even more than that fancy gifts, or anything. Your presence is the best thing you can give someone.

After this, watch the video below! I wish I had put a glee version, but that video just was to small to be played :(

Love!

Few days ago I had the idea to publish some quotes and proverbs about love. Here it is!

"Love conquers all things." 

Virgil

"Love is blind."

English proverb

"Marry in haste. Repent at leisure."

English proverb

"When a girl marries, she exchanges the attention of many men for the inattention of one."

Helen Rowland, American writer

"Marriage is like a dull meal with the dessert at the beginning."

Henri, Comte de Toulouse-Lautrec

Coming Back... in some way!
