Hug to all; I'll be back one day, but it'll be different. Don't wait for it, you'll have forgotten about me by then. ]]> .br - daily life Tue, 10 Jan 2006 11:39:00 +0100 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1674858#comments http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1674858 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1609790

I prefer them over 'the police'. Police = war; at least in my blood when I stumble into one in Belgium. ]]> .br - daily life Fri, 28 Oct 2005 22:15:00 +0200 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1604496#comments http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1604496 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1603818
Acai, another addictive thing we miss in Belgium. We usually get it at Boomerang, just around the block with home delivery services. We never cook home, even don't have breakfast. It's just not worth the fuzz with what we have around here in Humaita. ]]> .br - daily life Fri, 28 Oct 2005 09:59:00 +0200 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1603818#comments http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1603818 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1602197
Since I'm an absolute Smoothie addict I absolutely crave the thousands of vitamine bars you'll find in Rio. They even have my Belgian all time favorite Banana c/ Aveia (banaan met havermout in 't Vlaams). But the best is Acai. It's one of the many fruits you find here on the markets that you'll never spot in Belgium. Full of proteins, better than guarana to get through the day and absolutely yummy. comes in all kind of variations; my favorite is Acai con mel. No way to describe it, you have to try it yourself. ]]> .br - rio Wed, 26 Oct 2005 13:06:00 +0200 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1602197#comments http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1602197 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1601153

Whatever the cariocas say, Rio has plenty of excellent veggie spots, certainly in the neighbourhood where I live. That being said, the meat served in Rio is irresistable. ]]> .br - rio Tue, 25 Oct 2005 11:03:00 +0200 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1601158#comments http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/1601158 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/299739

Ever since I was 18, I've told I never would have kids in Belgium. It's just not fair to raise them in this smogged / jammed / grey / cynical / stressed country. This evening on the beach, I smiled and knew for sure where I wanted my kids to grow up in balance. Everything is here: school, hospital, sun, waves, international friends, smiles, warmth, nature,... Don't give me the 'your kids will miss culture' argument... I've been countering that one too many times, nobody stood the test until now. ]]> .cr - places: pacific coast Thu, 09 Sep 2004 17:39:00 +0200 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/15325#comments http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/15325 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/21470
"In your case, you are still being consequent with yourself, in a perfect armony between heart and mind. And you know way? because even when you think im wrong saying this, im not, really. Everytime you recognize you did not do exactly what you really wanted to, is because you know exacly what it is. And well, i know you really know what you want in life, and whats more important, you are taking big decissions, big risk just to get to it . Sooo, my point is you cannot say you are not a fighter, cause you are exactly the biggest warrior of light I have met in my life. Im sure you are living very hard moments. Its not easy for you start to say god bye to each thing, each friend, each love, each dream you found and built there, but boy, theres a big reason why you took the big decission." I'm trying... trying... each of them, each single them of them, everyone of them, is making me do it... there's no turning back.

we have crossed them all, they say terrible things about a man and a woman, who after much milling about, all sorts of compunctions, do something unique, we ask ourselves whether frogs are so furtive, or sneeze as they please. whether they whisper to each other in swamps about illegitimate frogs, or the joys of amphibious living. we ask ourselves if birds single out enemy birds, or bulls gossip with bullocks before they go out in public with cows. ]]> .cl - friends: barbara Mon, 06 Sep 2004 22:00:00 +0200 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/161702#comments http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/161702 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/184726

Panama's city popular bodyboarding spot known for its impressive, sometimes wild barrel breaking over a large rock. At least, Panamanian girls surf, never seen a Costa Rican local on a wave (sofar). ]]> .pa - places: panama city Tue, 24 Aug 2004 15:16:00 +0200 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/488339#comments http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/488339 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/495306
Pelle suggested his beautiful Panamania wife Leticia (she's a marketeer) to write a "going out in Panama FAQ". At first I thought he referred to a coolspot list. But actually, the idea if smarter. One of the major issues I will face when friends (male and some female) will visit Panama is the spinning of their head when they go out. You might think Belgian nightlife is 'hot'... a fridge ain't nothing compared to it once you've tasted Panamanian nightlife and women. And the number of men who burned their fingers are... numerous. Which is why Leticia's FAQ is a must for all my friends planning to visit... Thinking all Panamanian women are 'easy going' because of the bway they look/dress/behave, might be just a too nast experience for my beloved soulmates. ]]> .pa - impressions Tue, 24 Aug 2004 05:59:00 +0200 http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/495306#comments http://photoblog.net/blog/puravida/view/495306
