I was born on may 26, in 1988. When there was five days left for my one year birthday, my sister was born, on may 21, in 1989. Her name is Mariana.

My parents lived together until 2001, when they divorced. Right now I live with my mother, her name is Marina, and my dog, Lilica. My sister moved to Niterói. She is a medicine student.

In september 2007, I got into UFOP to study tourism, and moved to Ouro Preto. I lived there for a year, in a girls sororothy, called Sedução, with nine girls.

I hated studing English, but in Ouro Preto, I worked in a museum. It was visited by a lot of foreign tourists, so I had to start learning English.

My first English teacher was called Thiago, or Potato, as he prefered to be called. He was very funny and he had a diferent way to teach: no dictionaries and no translations were aloud. He used mimes and pictures to teach new words. I learned a lot with him and fell in love with English.

I liked the city, my sororothy and my new friends, but I didn't like the course. Tourists are very complicated and most of them are arrogant. So I decided to come back to Itajubá.

Here I got a job and returned to my English course. After later I got into Universitas and today I am very happy with my choice.

A Royal Gift

It's a detective story, that begins with an explanation: "In Siam the royal white elephant is very important. It's sacred to kings, and only kings can have a white elephant. And white elephants are more important than the king."

So the king of Siam decided to give a white elephant to the Queen of England, as a gift.

During the trip, the ship stops at the New York's harbour because a doctor would see the white elephant that was sick. Then, after two weeks travelling, the white elephant is stolen.

The white elephant's deliverer came back to New York City and looked for the police force. He was fortunate because the chief of the force, the celebrated Inspector Blunt, was there and decided to help him.

Inspector Blunt took notes about the elephant's eating habits and appearance, and printed photos. Then he sold the information to the newspapers. He also suggested a reward and sent lots of his men to look for the elephant.

After some days, the white elephant was accused killing some people and destroying villages, but the search continued and the reward raised until one hundred thousand dollars.

Then the detective sent and received some notes and made an appoitment with the thieves. The deliverer brought the money to the detective and waited.

When chief Blunt came back, he took the white elephant's deliverer until the building basement, and there was the white elephant, dead.

The white elepant died of hunger, and the deliverer lost his job and he was ruined, but he continued appreciating the detective's work.

The Interrupted Girl movie is a drama, directed by James Mangold and it was filmed at Pennsylvania.
The main actresses are Winona Rider, as Susanna Kaysen, and Angelina Jolie, as Lisa Rowen. But there are more good actresses in the movie, like Woopi Goldberg, as nurse Valerie Owes, and Britanny Murphy, as Dayse Randone.
The movie happens at a mental institution, where Susanna goes because she had an overdose of aspirin and vodka. There, she meets a group of girls and they are become friends.
Susanna and Lisa become best friends, and together they start the trouble. Lisa said Susanna to stop taking her remedies and resist the therapy.
It's a wonderful movie, that describe the anguish of a group of girls in their youth, and how we can found friends at particular places.

I just saw this movie because Angelina Jolie was in it, and she won three awards: best actress, best performance and outstanding performance. I can't imagine any other actress than Angelina Jolie in that role as Lisa.

Enjoy it!
