What happened this morning, a bit before I woke up

You told me: "I love you"
Too bad, at the time you said that,
I found out it was only a dream.
Then I woke up.

This Way

I've much prepared
with words you've taught
for the road I had got
that is no more paired

So this is the way
what a lonely walk
nobody here to talk
about what I wanna say

Blurred is my sight
I can see you're there
but this atmosphere?
There's no left or right

Shine, my little star
So, through the way
Without fear I can say
'Este poema quero recitar'

Organizing kitchen

I saw the yerba pack on the table and then my mom said: "Dad tried to make it, but it tasted bad." It was a yerba mate pack I bought back in 2007 in my travel to Porto Alegre. It was really really old and I wanted to throw it away. But before doing so, I took my cuia (hollow gourd) and as I couldn't really find my metal straw (bomba), I started to organizing stuff in the kitchen, such that I could find it. Well, organized some stuff and then, after lunch, my sister said: "Eww!! Have you already seen inside those milk boxes? They are full of worms!!" And then I told her that we had to clean them up before sending them to recycle (my family is not very conscious about some stuff) and then we started to clean them. My sister was opening the boxes while I was washing them.
Then I got tired of washing and my sister had to go to her boyfriend's house.
So I started to organize the pantry. I've already organized it several times already and I always find old stuff, with their due time expired... and it was now different now. But this time, I organized the condiments part. Some condiments should have used until 2005. I wasn't really surprised, since last year I found stuff that had to be used until 2000!
Well, one of the problem with my parents is that sometimes they open something, don't completely use that thing and forget the pack in the forgotten land. So I organized in a way that those stuff that weren't used yet are separated from those which were already opened (those things used to be mixed in the same place) and put the latter more acessible than the former. About the positioning of the condiments, I also put them separated from the pantry and put them close to the stove.
There were a lot more and it required a lot of thinking about classifying and separating stuff, but I think it's a lot more organized now.
Looking back, it all might not have happened this way if I haven't really gone to Porto Alegre. Haha

Obsession

Over the last 5 days I've been playing Civilization IV: Colonization non-stop. I haven't slept in two nights and another two nights I slept the number of hours of two nights, each. I almost started playing it more again today, but luckly it didn't work, so I'm free of this obsession. For now.
