As you may all know, I’m a huge fan of RPG games, since a kid, and the two games I love to play the most are Dungeons & Dragons and Vampire the Masquerade.

I haven’t played Vampire for a few years, but that’s not what I’m playing this vacations. I’m playing Dungeons & Dragons with Wilson, Monique, Thiago and Neto.

We’re having a great time, and since we don’t take it too seriously it’s a great fun, and we’re having lots of laughs.

We’re playing some basic adventures from D&D 3.5, but we’re willing to move to the 4th edition, since I bought it + some accessories and have started to read it already.

I’m willing to buy even more supplements and accessories to enjoy the game even more with my friends as long as we are able to play it.

I just hope we continue playing the game after we go back to our work by the end of this month. And who knows a couple more people join us?

Hello to all, I’m here to say I’m really sorry for not posting as regularly as I said I would.

I’ll probably post more in a week since the holidays are coming + my vacations.

Next week I’ll prepare myself for my vacations, I’ll organize everything using Scrum, hehehe!

Hello to all, after a long time away I’m going home. I left on September 28th and I’m going to arrive on October 21st.

This whole (business) trip was really good. I have told you what happened in Helsinki on earlier posts. Johannesburg was really cool, Micheline was really nice, the conference was really good. Jo’burg is great, I really want to get back there, we stayed in this fancy hotel, called Palazzo Montecasino, very Paris and Nicolle.

Maputo was very nice too, me and Jackson had a very good time there. There’s this really good restaurant called Sagres, near the hotel, that we went to eat everyday. Our president, Lula, was at the same hotel, and there was this night that I was at the reception with Micheline and some of the Unicef ladies, and he came down the stairs, stared at me and sair “Good Night”, I replied, of course, “Good Night President”. Quite cool, isn’t it?

Well, now I’m in London, and I have a lot of work to do when I get in Manaus!!! Talk to you again when I’m there. For now check my photos on my flickr!!!

Hello to all!!! Haven’t got much time to write here, I’m in Helsinki (again) working a lot. The event was very successful, and I’m having some meetings too. I love this city, unfortunately I’ll be leaving in two days, I always get sad when I leave Helsinki.

This time it was even more fun coming here, I made some very good friendships with Kaisa and Esther, whom I met last time I came here. They are the most fun and sweet Finnish and Spanish girls I have ever met.

I didn’t go out as much as I wanted, there were a lot of friends from work here this time. We had some fun at LUX, it was really really good. We went to this park/forest place here with Kaisa, Luukki, I uploaded some of the pictures on my Flickr. I didn’t go out shopping as much as the last time also, just bought two brand new sneakers and two DS games (Final Fantasy IV and Dragon Quest IV).

I really hope I come back here soon.

Saturday I’m leaving to Johannesburg for a conference, hope everything goes well there too, I’m very excited on going to Africa for the first time.

I’ll try to blog there too, see ya!

I’ve been very busy lately and many things are happening these days in my life. I’ve been working a lot, and I mean it. But well… I love working a lot.

I’ve been going out with my friends more often, last Thursday we hung out in “Porão do Alemão”, we got extremely drunk, me, Deco, Marcos, Fernando and Xicão, but we had a lot of fun. Anyone who’s my friend in Flick can see the pictures here: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Well, we decided the name of our band, it’s called The Salmiakkis. We know it’s an internal joke, but it’s nice. My friends wanted to use The One Night Stand Band, but it was my band in college, so I think it’s better if we keep it there, it doesn’t exist anymore. Anyone can watch some videos of us here in my YouTube channel. I’m still trying to upload this huuuuuge video of us playing Blur’s Beetlebum, but you know, Manaus’ internet is a crap.

In the love area… well… it’s complicated! Hahahahahah! But I wish it wasn’t.

I’m getting ready to travel again and this time I will spend a lot of time away from Manaus, but it’s ok, I’m going to a place I really like and to a place I’m really excited to get to know. Anyway, I think it will be the longest work trip I ever had. And of course, I’ll try to spend less money, the last few trips kind of bankrupted me, Boston, Quito, London and Helsinki, especially Boston and London.

I’ve been reading a little bit more, which is good, but it’s still not enough, and YES, I need to read more technical books. I NEED to study.

Well, have to go now, see you!

Mudando para o meu blog em inglês, quem quiser entra aqui

Adeus! Huahuahuahua!!!

So, here I am, I finally decided I should blog only in English. For those who speak Portuguese and would like to see what I have been blogging about in the past 5 years, you can access my old blog here. Well, since I consider this a spin-off of the last one let’s get to what really interests, no introductions, you can find an About Me on the top of the page, or somewhere here.

I’ve been traveling a lot, almost every month. This year I’ve been to Boston, Quito, London and Helsinki. This last one was really cool, it was the second time I’ve been there and it was a lot more fun than the last time. I met a lot of nice people, I went to this amusement park, Linnanmaki, which is really cool, I went out almost every night. I even got to “have fun” with this Finnish girl that I can’t remember the name, maybe because I was too drunk to ask, in this dance club called LUX, which is really really nice. Of course, I bought a lot of Fazer, some dvds and records, some books, and even some perfume.

I really have to stop spending too much money. I’m also willing on going on a severe diet. I have already stopped drinking Coke, I have to eat less now, much less. I weight 140 kg, at least 50 have to go.

Well, I still have to find time to change this template, put some links, and all that stuff.

I posted some pictures of Helsinki on my Flickr, you can all take a look there.

Tem mais de 1 mês que eu não blogo e eu definitivamente decidi tirar aquele plugin que colocava os meus twits do dia, pura preguiça de postar e escrever.

Esse ano tem sido bem cheio de trabalho. É o que eu mais faço e no meu tempo livre tenho descansado. Fora o MBA que eu to meio que levando no pagode, mas foda-se! Eu quero é o diploma!

Bom, o que aconteceu talvez de melhor esse ano foi ter finalmente ido para Londres, que é uma cidade fantástica. É incrível como eu sou um cara urbano e me encanto com as cidades. Mas Londres é foda demais!

Lá eu fui para um congresso de Open Learning, mas tive tempo de ir ver o Big Ben, a London Eye, Oxford Circus, Hyde Park, Piccadilly, etc.

Também tive a oportunidade de pegar um trem e ir para Manchester, para um show da Kylie Minogue, que foi legal demais! Fui e voltei no mesmo dia, legal para caralho!

Minhas metas agora são ir conhecer o Canadá e a Austrália, e a principal é fazer mestrado em Londres. Passar um tempo morando lá.

Fora isso tenho lido quando dá, e jogado também, depois que destravei o Wii já estou com mais de 70 jogos, e sem muito tempo. O que sempre rola é ouvir música, isso sempre rola, mas eu to precisando dar uma atualizada, tem umas bandinhas novas que eu ainda não ouvi.

To tentando emagrecer e parar de roer unha até o final do ano.

De resto tá tudo bem bagunçado, a única coisa que não bagunça é a vida profissional. Eu to naquela de sempre, não sei se tá certo, não sei se eu devia ir atrás de outra coisa, tem horas que eu queria arranjar alguém como eu, tem horas que eu quero mais é que se foda, tem horas que eu só quero ela, tem horas que que acho que eu devia era dar um reset dispensar TODAS as possibilidades e começar do zero, mas é foda. Penso nisso depois.

Logo vou viajar para o Equador de novo e para Helsinki também, vou tentar blogar, mas tá foda!

Cada vez menos tenho encontrado tempo para blogar algo útil. To deixando o plugin do Twitter rodando direto pra usar isso aqui de alguma maneira, aliais, NENHUM dos Sebosos tem postado, mas… fazer o que?

No último mês eu andei viajando, primeiro fui a Boston para a How Conference, que foi legal demais, aquela ciadade é maravilhosa demais, por mim eu me mudava pra lá. Lá pude voltar a alguns lugares que eu havia ido dois anos atrás, como a Newbury Street e suas lojas muito bacanas, e restaurantes como o Barking Crab e o California Pizza Kitchen. Dessa vez fiz muitas e muitas compras, hehehe, os Estados Unidos é um grande shopping com delimitações geográficas. Comprei um iPod Touch 8gb pra mim, volantes do Mario Kart pro Wii, muitos cds, comprei roupa, cinto, até Ketchup, Heinz claro.

O iPod Touch de 8gb é muito legal, tem tudo aquilo que é bem bacana dele, mas ainda estou aprendendo a lidar com o espaço, afinal, eu fui pra Boston com a intenção de comprar um iPod Classic de 160gb. Mas depois que você tem um Touch não quer voltar pro antigo.

Depois de Boston quiquei em Manaus e fui para o Equador em uma Odisséia Latina, primeiro Caracas, onde perderam minha mala e cancelaram meu vôo Bogotá - Quito sem eu ter chegado a Bogotá. Depois, Bogotá, onde dormi e comprei cuecas e meias. Depois Quito, que foi massa, fiquei em um hotel legal, bacana. Depois La Laguna, que foi muito mais legal pelas pessoas da FHN do que pelo lugar, cheio de insetos e morcegos e etc. Foi legal, o ruim foi a volta, que tive que dormir em Caracas, a TAM cancelou meu vôo duas vezes e cheguei em Manaus quase 2 dias depois do que deveria.

Na verdade esse é bem resumão, eu deveria ter postado direto de lá, mas a preguiça sempre foi enorme! Vou tentar postar mais regularmente. Inté!

Meu primeiro blog foi no Ig, em um serviço chamado Blig. Na época eu era bem ruim, e continuo, só que menos pior, pra quem tiver estômago e saco de ler o que eu escrevi naquela época, fiz o upload de uns pdfs que encontrei:
