My birthday!

Hi everyone!

As you probably know, next June 12th is my 24th birthday! I am so excited about it that I decided to organize a party to celebrate with my friends. Since this is a World Cup year, my idea was to organize a thematic party. Take a look at the invitation:

Well, as soon as I started inviting my friends, they came up with the following excuses.


***

Ana: “I can’t. My parents are visiting from out of town.”

Carlos: “I’m sorry. I have to study for an exam that day.”

Paula: “Unfortunately I can’t go. I will have to work.”

Fábio: “That sounds fun. However, I got a new puppy and I have to stay home with him.”

Cristina: “Oh! It’s my grandmother’s 90th birthday and my parents told me to visit her.”

***

Their excuses disappointed me. I had many plans for the party! Didn’t they like the idea? Was the day and time too bad? What should I do to convince them to come? Or should I cancel it because no one seems to be coming?

Save Water, Save the World

Hi everyone!

Last weekend my parents came to Florianópolis to visit my brother, Tony, and I.

Juliana, our roommate, prepared a delicious dinner for us! We are very lucky to have her here. 

Besides having dinner, we sat together to talk about the conscious use of water. Mom and Dad were surprised to see some "reminders" I have placed in our bathroom, kitchen and laundry room. Well, I had to do that because Tony is very irresponsible and does not care about the planet. 

How about you? Are you eco-friendly?

These are some of the signs you can see in our bathroom, kitchen and laundry room
