Here are the five things you might not know about me yet.
1) I have been doing Aikido for 4 years or so. Aikido is the art of harmonizing with the enemy, therefore, you don't need strength. I must confess I don't have a natural gift for the martial arts but I'm persistent, although I've been hurt a few times. I love it because it helps me overcome my weaknesses and fears. (Photo: me going from purple to green belt).
2) I lived in Israel for 2 years (between the ages of 9 to 11). My father was transfered to Tel-Aviv because he used to work for the Brazilian Army (he's retired now). Fortunately, there were no wars there at the time, and we had the most wonderful time of our lives.
3) I don't know the city where I was born because my family moved a lot due to my father's job, so I left there when I was 10 months old, and never went back. After that, we moved several other times. Thus, now I freak out when I hear the word "move". You might say I have phobia of moving.
4) I cry a lot. I even cry when I watch a beautiful commercial on TV. It's ridiculous, and sometimes I get very embarrassed. Therefore, I like watching TV alone because then I can cry as much as I want.
5) This is really embarrassing... ok... my favourite film is The Sound of Music. I must have seen it 30 times. I know all the songs and sometimes when no one is around I sing them for my 6-month old niece. Poor her! I'm a terrible singer.
All right, now that you've read some facts of my life, most of them really embarrassing, leave a message to cheer me up. Tell me it's ok, that they're not very embarrassing, that something similar has happened to you, or something like that. Meanwhile, I'll try not to blush.
