The dog days are over!!!

I'm back. I've been missing my little blog but as I said in my last post I needed time to figure out what was going to happen. Since May 2010 many things have changed... fortunately!

After some visa issues last Xmas holidays, I decided to stay in Portugal. So in March 2010, I left India for good. It wasn't an easy decision but it was necessary. Only now I fully understand how necessary it was actually! And may be two years in India were even too much. Oh India... it's hard to love you and even harder to hate you! India changes you! I can see it in so many different things. For example, in the way I interact with people. I'm not shy but I don't let people become close as easily as before. I'm more careful. I don't trust people as easily. I became "colder" with people too. And worst, I became more serious and less adventurous! I know may be age has something to do with it as well, but I do believe my life in India had a stronger influence.

After coming back, I started working at Offley Port Wine Cellars as a tour guide. There, I met lovely people who slowly became my very good friends. But since it was a temporary job I needed to find something more stable. I was pretty lucky because I didn't have to send many cvs and in September I started the trainee programme of a Portuguese food retail company, which should be over soon. I can't wait to start my real job!

Now, my personal life... many things have changed too! Now that I am back to my single status, the dog days are over!!! I decided to take care of myself!!! Yes, 2011 will be the year of change. I decided to face any kind of fear and inferiority complex. It's going to take some time but I give myself a year! Let's see... 

So, in conclusion, I'm happy and the best is yet to come! ;)

Happy 2011!

Dear friends,

Sometimes one needs to stop and spend time thinking and planinng the next steps in life in order to avoid dead-ends. That's why I have been away from my blog and I am affraid I will have to be away for some more time.
I don't know how long... but this is not the end!

I will be back, hopefully with great news.

Love, sex and the male brain
By Louann Brizendine

The other day my boyfriend sent me this aticle. I guess he is trying to say something... but I will just pretend I didn't get it... In the meanwhile, I have to admit the article is really worth reading! Here are some paragraphs that i really liked a lot!

[Read the article here]

<< Perhaps the biggest difference between the male and female brain is that men have a sexual pursuit area that is 2.5 times larger than the one in the female brain. Not only that, but beginning in their teens, they produce 20 to 25-fold more testosterone than they did during pre-adolescence.

If testosterone were beer, a 9-year-old boy would be getting the equivalent of a cup a day. But a 15-year-old would be getting the equivalent of nearly two gallons a day. This fuels their sexual engines and makes it impossible for them to stop thinking about female body parts and sex.

(...)

The human brain is the best learning machine on the planet and human beings are capable of making major changes in our lives. But there are some things that the male brain and female brain are not likely to change anytime soon. And it makes more sense to deal with these brain realities, than to argue with them or ignoring them.

The best advice I have for women is make peace with the male brain. Let men be men.>>
