Probably my Last Post-for now.

I will be moving to Spain on Wednesday, in 6 more days. Since this blog is called "Debbie in Chile", that would be totally incoherent. Thus, being this my current situation, I've created a new blog; Europe:Here I go. It suits my situation at the time.

Last Friday in Rio

Today is our last Friday in Rio. My mom had a lunch with her friends and she had to take Rafi to the doctor. So, while my dad stayed at home for a bit, I went with my ant Isabela, my uncly Marcio and Pedro to choose Pedro's glasses' frame. Once we did, they dropped me and my ant off at the mall. We went to exchange a pair of sandals that was small on her, we had pasta for lunch, we went to the bookstore and I got Dear Dumb Diary #7 and we also checked out some backpacks for school. We got back to her house at 4 after a cool cup of ice-cream. I read and surfed the net a little in her room and then played some X-Box until we finaly got to vovo's house for a brinner (brekfast/dinner) with a cousin and an aunt of my mother's.
That was our day,
TTYS

Last Wednesday in Rio

Today is our last Wednesday in rio; we leave on Sunday. Today, me, my mom, dad, Pedro and Rafi spent the day at a water park: Rio Water Planet. It was almost a 2 hour drive there and back 2 more. The organization was terrible because first we had to make a line for tickets, ok, normalty. Then, after we entered the park we had to make a line to put real money in a rechargeable water proof card, because we would be getting wet. ok, thaughtful, but the lady couldn't hear us, and we couldn't hear her, because of the useless glass window in between. Then the lady didn't get that my mom didn't have a CPF (brazilian form of identification) because only residents have that, and as you know, we don't live here. Then we had to line up in the locker room to slide our water proof card so we could line up to get our key to our locker; a line for a line for a locker, more time wasted. Then we finnally had a little freedom in this place so we went to the "Slow River" -it was called. We sat on donut shaped floaties (are they called tubes??) and floated along the river for a little while. Then, when we got out we went on two "tubeless" water slides and then to a waterslide where you went down in two-people-tubes and it was extremely cool. We went down twice in the whole day the first time it was me and my dad and on he other rafi and pedro and my mom waited for us at the bottom and the 2nd time it was me and rafi and my dad with pedro my mom also didn't come, but my mom did go on the slow river. Then we had a pizza, still having to pay with the card and a few sodas, and then we went in the river again to see if we could find anything else to eat. We ended up going to the wave-pool but I got really dizzy, so we didn't stay long. After the pool we went to a burger stand but the burgers were cold and they wouldn't heat them up for us and I do not eat cold chese. So they ate the burgers and I got a "pastel de queijo" and so we sat and ate and then my mom decided to get on a ride to keep her promise-she promised my dad before leaving that at the park she would ride at least 3 different things- so we got on these mini plastic boats which fit three people each. We had to go up these really high and steep stairs carrying the boat -which wasn't light in any way- and then we went down this really short but extremely extreme water slide. First it slit down steep and then normal en then really steep again and then totally on its side and then totally on its other side and then it stopped. it was terrible. And, my mom chose precisely that one as her last ride and rode nothing else out of trauma :( . Anyways, everyone but her rode the tublesses one more time each and a different one which had purple tubes We went to the river one more time and then it was time to go because the park closed at 5. It was a fun day. At lest, I had fun. At night our parents went to the movies and we had spaghetti for dinner.

Saquarema

We just got back from Saquarema, where we've been for about a week. There was one computer available, but it wasn't mine to use, and besides, if I could've used it, there still was no internet. So, basically, instead of posting one post per day and changing the dates, I've decided I'm just going to tell you a little about what we did.
The boys had surf lessons for 5 days and they were actually pretty good. We had pizza 3 times in our stay, of which 2 were round and one was square. Yes, square. We also had pasta, Ice cream, and went twice to the "Garota de Itauna" restorant which was very good. One of the times we went, they served us a fish platter with tail, eye-ball and all. The other time we went, we walked home 'round the back across the beach-since our house had a path to the beach- accompanied by a few crabs. We took walks on thebeach almost every night and went to the pool every single day. I got two new bikinis in my stay and also got a pair of earrings and a snoopy canga. In the house there were 2 dogs. I didn't get their names, but one was brown and the other was black.
In Saquarema, there were lizards every night that really freaked me out. Also many snails.
Oh, what was really funny was that every morning, a truck passed our house selling nothing but pineaples. So it was blasting "pineaples!!! pineaples!!!" funny indeed.
The last day we were there, the water went short, yay!! Luckily, it wasn't our problem anymore, because we were leaving, we were leaving and then we left.
So we're back here, my uncle Daniel just flew in from Sao Paulo and we're all here, all 10 of us; My mom, my dad, my brother, Pedro, my uncle Marcio, my ant Isabela, my grandma, my grandpa, my uncle Daniel and me. Sorry Laila, I meant eleven. :)

PS: Still missing omi, tata and Spotty like h*ll. Love you guys and look forward to seeing you on Sunday, yet taking advantage of the time I still have here, because it's not every day I can come.
PSS: I finished my book "The Last Song" 2 days ago in Saquarema and honestly I totally recommend it for women over 12 and I am praying for Nicholas Sparks to hit a dead end and decide to make a The Last Song 2. I am starting Dear John tonight.

Thursday-with mommy

Hi!! Ok, so I'm sooo totally psiched cuz my mom's here and have really big news to tell you, but I won't tell you just yet. (...mistery...muahahahahah!!!)ummm...appart from that today I read my book a lot... I'm on page 60 or somthing. I talked to my daddy on skype today and also to my grandparents (they're still learning how to use it).

Today we went to a mall like 40 mins from here without traffic called Downtown at the Barra. We got together with a friend of my mother's that works at a store there. All 4 of us had lunch at burger king but there it was high tech to the luxurious! It had flat screens for menus and the waitresses took your order on this tablet sort of thing and then they gave you a credit card type card that you had to hand in at the counter and they swiped it through this machine that gave them the number of your order and then your order was instantly ready. The problem was that I had to talk to 3 different people just to get a freakin' napkin!! Then it was impossible to find the b-room. Then we left and stoppen for coconut water at the beach. Rafi got all wet and he wasn't even wearing a bathing suit and we had no towels... :S

We came home took a bath, my mom went out and got a new dress, and we had chicken and pastsa for dinner. Then we tryed to play yam but we got tired before finishing the game (actually before starting). That was our day. TTYS.

Oh! Sorry! Did I say yesterday was a do-nothing-day?

Sorry, I was mistaken. Yesterday is a do everything day compared to today. Today it is 5:30 in the afternoon and we're still in our PJ's. We have not gotten outside today because it rained, both our grand parents had to work and my grandma doesn't feel so well. It's been fun though... we played instruments, watched TV, ate, played with the computer and went to the bathroom! :) O well, my moms gonna be here tommorrow afternoon so I'm really happy!! :D
Umm.. well, we had maccaroni for lunch and I'm still reporting to FM-Deborah every once in a while and I've got a few cute videos of Laila struttin' her stuff (if u no wat i mean ;D).
TTYS,
Debbie.

Do-nothing-Monday

2 more days untill my mom gets here, just wanted to let you know. Another new thing is that I, starting today, own a radio station called FM-Deborah-131.3. Haha, what I mean is I'm recording everything we do on my i-pod. Well, everything like touristicky. Is that even a word??

Anyway, today we basically did nothing all day cuz my grandparents had a lot of work to do (they still work, you know) untill 5, which is when we got up and went out (me, my bro and my grandma)

Allert: We interrupt your normal proggramming for a short message we decided to put here because if we don't we'll forget. (i'm blaming lots of people for my bad memory so i don't feel bad about myself, and since these people dont exist, guilt won't be a problem)

Note to self: When you get home, add Fireflies, Unwritten and Make it Shine to your iPod (yes, FYI, I very much like Victorious).

and went to the Praia Vermelha (red bach), more info on FM-Deborah 131.3. bazinga! It was cool, my brother, as usual, sees beach and/or pool water and races in immidiately, and thus he did.

We stayed for a while and then came home, and now my bro's listening to weird gutar hero 80's music on Youtube. We'll be eating soon.

TTYS

Teresopolis, Brazil

Today, it was very, extremely sunny. So, we took the smart way out, did something different. We went out of town and up the mountain, because with a day like this, the beach would've had more peaple than water. So we went up to Teresopolis, a small town located in the mountains, near the "famous crist". There, there's a pool filled with freezing cold spring water. My granpa and Rafi went there. Technically you're supposed to pay to get in, but if you're older than 65 or younger than 13 you can get in free. Cool, huh?
Meanwhile, me and my grandma went to this really big craft fair (which actually had pretty much only jewelery and clothes) and then we went to the nearby mall (which wasn't a mall persay). I got a shirt, a vest and new PJ's. My grandma got a beach dress.
After we finnished we had lunch at this really good buffet. Then we came home.
Now we're at home preparing to eat pizza and resting after a long day and 2 very long car rides.
TTYS,
Debbie.

Saturday

Today we spent the morning making a blog for my brother ( www.rafepedia.blogspot.com ). He likes it a lot and I have to admit, I think it looks quite awesome. We had lasagna for lunch and then rested for a while. After that we took a car ride up the mountain, to try to go to the beach at the barra, but apparently the corcovado hill (where the famous crist is) is closed for weekends. Anyways, we ended up going to the Ipanema beach which was squeeky clean but the waves were so hard, it was literaly like a mini tsunami (ok maybe i'm exagerating, but they were very hard). We came home took a shower watched TV for a while and had hod dogs for dinner!!!! Delicious! :T

Now I'm blogging and listening to my brother fantasise about a life as a jedi and talking to a fake yoda "action figure". Must accept the level of funniness.

TTYS.

Friday

Hello world!

Ok, so today after breakfast we took off to the beach, again. The weather is very similar to yesterday's, but the ocean doesn't seem to agree. The water was strong and black. Black why? Because it was disgustingly full of algea (also known as seaweed), plastic and rocks. Simply gross. So, as you probably imagined by now, I didn't go in the water today, instead, I read my book at shore. Equally good.

When we got to the beach, my grandma realized her bikini top had broken and now wouldn't close. It took me about 10 mins. to close it somehow. Lukilly at the beaches in Brazil, there are always peaple walking around selling the strangest things... so she bought a new bikini and somehow managed to change at the beach. Problem solved.

At the beach we had a popcycle each and 2 baggies of cookies. They were really good. Also, at the beach there was a fat guy with a sunga, the sunga was really small on him and you could totally the his butt line (:$). Even worse for his rep., he was holding a crying 6 year old and everyone thaught she was his hostage.

Well, appart from the beach, we took a shower and had sausages, mashed potatoes, rice, beans, and respective drinks for lunch. It was really good.

In the afternoon me and my grandma went to get our nails done. Mine are purple. My brother went to the paper factory with my grandpa. Then we went to the movies to see meet the fockers 3. After the movies we had dinner at a sandwich restorant called Zack's next to La Mole.

So, yeah, that's my day.

TTYS,

Debbie

News

Hey guys!!

Just FYI: There's a really cool new gadget on my sidebar for all you lazy heads who can't think for themselves, complicated composers, poets with no real talent or if you're just curious called Rhyme me. What you do is you write a word and how many results you want tops and it'll give you many good rhymes for that word, just in case you're stuck and/or are suffering a mental, social, psychological, physical, boringal or anything else-al problem, sickness and/or stuckness.

Basically, it works. Check it out.

The beach

The beach was NARLY! I don't say that word often, but this case demanded it.

I had lunch and a comment my grandma commented cought my ear:

"Did you know, that appart from being good for the eyes, eating carrots makes tanning easier?"

Cool huh?

I'm extremely sad right now, because my mom wont answer her cel, home phone or skype and nither will my dad. :'(

Umm, yeah, so in the afternoon we are doing absotuely nothing yes! Oh and I'm already on page 11 of my book. It's very good.

Thursday-One week from landing

Hi!!! Today there are blue skies and sunshine so we´re off to the beach! Yes! It finally stopped raining (which means it'll restart very soon). My grandma went to get children's sunscreen at the supermarket (totally unnecesary, yet kind), and when she gets back we'll be going to the beach. Last night we saw narnia (3) and it was definetely the best of all of them.

I'll be adding a "SRD (songs reccomended by debbie)" widget on my sidebar and changeing the weather widget every day till' my dad gets here AKA> 15/1.

Later Today...

There was I, happily watching the movie. Next thing I know, fade to black. Credits. Normaly credits would be at the end of the movie, like any normal movie. Nope! Not this time. The movie was at the cruitial moment, or at least as "cruitial" as it was ever going to get, and then, out of the blue... CREDITS. Lights were turned on, it had been about two hours since the movie had started, like normal film time, except like Spider Man 3 or something, and then they showed us out. Oh, well, weird stuff will be weird stuff. At least the movie theater was old and cultural-ish.
My brother had fun at his trip and I got a Tina magazine, and a really sweet ice cream which I was not able to finnish.
That was my day, TTYS,
Debbie.

Havn´t seen my bro since he left in the morning with a few norwegians, my uncle marcio, my aunt isabela, her sister, sister´s husband and 2 children in a huge silver van to tour the city of rio de janeiro and its ´´cool`` spots.
At precisely 12:12 me and vovo went to the supermarket and got back home at precisely 13:05. We then had a really good feijoada, rice and grilled chicken.
At 15:30 we will be going to the movies to watch You will meet a tall dark stranger.
TTYS,
Debbie

Monday

Today we woke up and had breakfast. Until 4, we stayed at home cuz I had a prety bad tummy ache. Later we went to the rio sul mall and I got 2 books at the bookstore; Nicholas Sparks´The Last Song and Dear John.

Then we had a meal at a restorant called Chaika. Me and my brother had a burger and a shake, my grandma had water and a waffle and my granpa had a burger and a coke. There was a weirdo sitting next to us yapping and yelling about taxes, and 1000% of something, and air conditioning and something about Hillary Clinton!! It was quite annoying...
In a little while my dad will get home from work and me, my dad, mom and rafi are going to play UNO on msn each on one computer. FUN!
Well that was my day...
ttys,
Debbie

Sunday

Cloudy skies await us, again. We were going to go to the beach, but I bet it's going to rain on us again.
Yesterday at the movies, we ended up watching Tangled (the weirdified story of Rapunzel).
Today I have absolutely no idea what we are going to do; I have a stomach ake; my bro's at pedro's; and it's cloudy... what to do?
Oh, well, I'll tyalk to you later I guess.
PS: still missin my parents, spotty, omi and tata like h*ll.

...after doin´stuff...
This afternoon we went to a really good restorant with a very bad name; Gloria´s Tabern. And then vovo, vovo, rafi, pedro and I went to he ice skating rink, it was fun but it was too far, too long, too crouded and soo over protective. Later we came back home, took us about an hour, had barely any dinner (our choice) and talked to our parents. Then we read a little and went to sleep.
PS: Still missin my parents, Spotty, omi, and tata like h*ll.

Happy 2011!!!

Whoops! I almost wrote happy 2010! Haha... Last night Pedro slept over... it was calmer than I imagined it would be, he was probably tired. I finnished my first monica magazine and started number 2.
Right now I have 11 bugbites; 4 on my left leg, one on my right foot, 3 on my right arm, 2 on my left arm and 1 on my left hand.
I got 2 new sandals, I don't know if I told you already, last night I wore the black one to the new year party, it was ok, BTW.
Now we're having lasagna for lunch and are going to the movie theatre to watch narnia in the afternoon. That's ourday i guess.
