It was my birthday.
I realized that, despite being a week late, I should document it somehow.

I have a tendency to isolate myself on my birthday, don't really know why, it's just the way I feel. I usually end up sticking to one friend and spend the day with him/her (cell phone off, laptop off). It's like I feel the need to reconnect, just be by myself, be myself.
This year, though, it wasn't like that. I wanted to be with people, and felt like having a more conventional type of birthday. And even though, I still felt the need to isolate myself throughout the day, I didn't. I spent the afternoon baking my birthday cake, then had dinner with my family and a couple of my best friends, and then we had a "Games Night". I had some other friends and family coming over and we played cards and board games all night. This is one of my favourite things in the world, just so you know. :)

I blew my candles and made a wish.

I want luck to be by my side all through this year.
I want the wind to blow.
I want the birds to sing.
I want dreams to reach me.
I want life to emerge.
I want to be.

 
Hey, everyone!

Long time no see. So, to make it up to you I'm bringing something new...

By now, some of you may know about my close friendship with the talented Adriano Sodré . He's usually the only photographer that I model for, since I'm a bit camera shy, and because every time we do a photoshoot it's more of a cooperation, and I like that. We even discussed about creating some sort of production company... maybe we will someday, who knows. I think we're a good duo. :)
Anyways, Adriano has acquired a Canon 5D, and we were, of course, anxious to try it out and shoot some pretty little film with it. So, this weekend, we went out and did it and yesterday we spent the night editing it and now... it's done! And I really want your opinion on it. :)






P.S. I chose the song... it's one of my ultimate favorites. :)
   

 Oh and this is me with the curling rolls on, looking like a housewife.
(webcam quality, I know, I know. :)

I tried to take some birthday selfies... nothing that I really like, though.

These were the 3 survivors:

Today, I really felt like taking pictures, but it was raining and I didn't have any girl available for a shoot in such short notice so, as usual in this kind of situation, I ended up taking self portraits.
