Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

New designs coming soon.
I think you probably shouldn’t know, but I had a very obscure dark past. I’ve already told you in my latest post that I was a frustrated Mangaka… Now, let me introduce you my Headbanger side!
Well, I was not exactly a Headbanger. Dressing black or something like that is not for me. I was just a teenager who enjoyed listening Metal a lot. Always had a crush on rock music, but everything I knew were some Bon Jovi and Aerosmith songs. Thanks a boy I was in love on high school, I’ve heard about Iron Maiden for the first time. He had lent me a Piece of Mind tape, and I loved that! I never ever kissed him, but my love for this band persists until now! Today I can say, proudly, that I already have seen Bruce Dickinson and guys live three times (São Paulo 2008, Recife 2009 e 2011)! Then, I met a guy who gifted me other Metal bands’ tapes. And that’s the beginning of everything.
Years later, my music taste became quite varied. But even so, sometimes I listen to the same songs I used to do repeatedly in my Walkman (remember that?)! And the nostalgia is a wonderful feeling!
So, let’s see a list of my favorites below…
The Dragon Lies Bleeding – Hammerfall
Another Holy War – Blind Guardian
The Assassin – Iron Maiden
Where The Rain Grows – Helloween
Carry On – Angra
Violate – Iced Earth
Rage Of The Winter – Rhapsody
And, bonus…
Hammerfall and Steel Meets Steel – Hammerfall
Sole Survivor and In The Middle Of A Heartbeat – Helloween
[Edit] I can’t believe I forgot these!
Stratosphere and Speed of Light – Stratovarius
I’m wanting to return to the headbang life… Really glad if you recommend me some new stuff! What are your favorite metal songs?
4th May was my birthday… Yes, I know: it’s 24th June today; too late for speaking about that. Sorry for not posting anything that day. Actually my b-day wasn’t awesome, but I celebrated it in a good way. Anyway-ay-ay-ay… I am 28 years OLD now! Almost feeling the 30′s crisis. Oh, boy… Can you believe that? I’m 28! o_O’
So, I’d like to share something that reminds my youth. That’s a ridiculous comic I did when I was about 14. Look the title: Star Rainbow! Oh, that’s so embarrassing! I’m very ashamed for that, but, you know… I was just an innocent teenage dreamer. That was the first issue, and I had plans of sending it to a publishing house… Really.
I’ve found it in a file that I keep all the old drawings. When I read that, I had the most “LOLing” time ever! The story is SO crappy… A kind of Sailor Moon copy. And that time I was completely addicted to reading my high school english books. Everything I needed, I had an english-portuguese dictionary… All characters had non-brazilian names and surnames: Peter, Aaron, Sany, O’Hara… The funniest part is that they all live in San Diego, but not the californian city… It was a fictitious San Diego; a city that only existed in my head! A place where everyone is caucasian and has foreign names, but speak brazilian portuguese. Oh, wait! I mean: they speak brazilian portuguese with Potiguar slangs (Potiguar: from RN)! Star Rainbow is such a super heroine who fights against whatever evil, using her colorful power. Her father is a policeman, but doesn’t know anything about her hero-side… blablabla blablabla…
On second thoughts, I’m glad to be 28. 
Things are changing in my life. I had some bad moments that made me feel depressive. That’s why you haven’t seen me online all the time. Thanks to my psychologist, now I can organize my stuff and only care about what’s good to me – and DO what I WANT. I am living the offline life a bit more… Watching TV, films and Animes, reading, sketching, cleaning home, walking, cooking, working and – again – trying to go to the university next year. The song above is the new anthem of my life: I Wanna Live, by Tesla!
What I want and what I need
is everything that I’m supposed to be
I have my hopes, I’ve got my dreams
I had to fight for what is right for me
And other things that I expect
I take them all and I have no regrets
Life’s too short, there’s no rain check
Just one shot at it is all you get
I wanna live before I die
Don’t want the world to pass me by
I wanna live, I wanna live before I die
You tell me this, you tell me that
They wrote the rules but that ain’t where it’s at
They only dare to tell me lies
And do I listen? I don’t even try
And life’s an act, the worlds a stage
I’m like an animal outta my cage
I’m runnin’ wild, I’m runnin’ free
Just one shot at it is all we need
I wanna live before I die
Don’t want the world to pass me by
There’s so much more I wanna try
I wanna live
I wanna live before I die
Don’t want the world to pass me by
I wanna live, I wanna live before I die
I can’t wait around, I just can’t waste my time
I don’t care if you think that I’m outta my mind
I wanna live before I die
Don’t want the world to pass me by
There’s so much more I wanna try
I wanna live
I wanna live before I die
Don’t want the world to pass me by
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live before I die
Don’t want the world to pass me by
I wanna live, I wanna live before I die
Oh, my mom! My nose is really big… Uh! Sorry! Emmm… Well, let me share something really cool! This is a pendant that Angie of agasunset sent me as gift. Beautiful, eh? Of course I sent something to her too: an ACEO watercolor painting. But this stupid girl (me) forgot to scan it or even take a photo (speaking about it… I’m not so good at photography. Sorry for the bad quality). Anyway… I love Etsy, you know!
Thank you very much, Angie! I am not a jewelry fan, but you have original stuff, and got a future customer!
“Hello?”
“Hello, is this number from a pizza restaurant?”
“Sorry, madam, here’s not a pizza restaurant.”
“Oh, but this number was from a pizza restaurant!”
“Yeah, it was. But it is not anymore.”
“But… This number was from a pizza restaurant…”
“Madam… What can I do? Make a pizza for you?”
I really hate answering the telephone! Just to let you know, this is not a joke. It really happened.
Today, 12th October, is the Children’s Day in Brazil. This is me, in São Bernardo do Campo – SP, where I was born, 1984. I was one year old and quite photogenic, he he!
I just would like to say that the child inside me never died.
“I am not lazy, I just don’t like to work on something in vain.”
Marcos Viana, my dad. You know, like father, like daughter…
Black short hair, lost some weight… That’s the new me. Triviality… Just sharing… 
My family has a new member! Oh, no… I’m not pregnant. I don’t even have plans of having a child – well, not now. I’m talking about my new puppy, Spock! He’s a cute-docile-lovely 3 months old Maltese, that we brought because Dexter (our 1 year old Shih Tzu) was needing a friend companion. I should have posted it before, but I didn’t have time for blogging, sorry. Spock arrived 15 days ago – I guess – and he’s doing pretty well in his new home!
Differently of Dexter, he’s quite restless. And, living 3 months in a kennel, he didn’t have the same Cesar-Milanesque education we (Nando and I) gave to Dexter. Then, Spock was bossing his older brother around, but not being aggressive at all. He was just stealing food, water and toys. Dexter, instead of defending his stuff, walks as if he’s saying “ok, never mind” and lies on his spot. It was very difficult to make him eat his food again. Fortunately it didn’t take so long and now they are great friends!
By the way, when Spock arrived home, Dexter thought it was the wold’s most wonderful thing. He couldn’t stop to follow and lick the little one! We told this story to the veterinarian and he said that “Dexter will be a good father”. So, all that licking thing was just to stimulate Spock for doing pee and poo (which he was holding).
As a nice mom I am, I don’t like to compare my “babies”. But certainly there’s a good difference between both dogs. Things we were missing in Dexter, like stay on lap and being kinder, we found in Spock. Well, of course our tiny maltese (he’s really tiny) has some defects too. I’ll not cite them, because my angels’ defects are qualities! Particularly, I’m loving this personality difference. The mess is double, and they drive me crazy, but I’m not regret! Dogs are cool!
