Articles
A few weeks ago I lived an intense month as I took part on the #SMCSFBlogOff contest.
It was a rough month, I felt like publishing all day long, all the time, anything. But practically I couldn't blog that often as I didn't and wouldn't have that much interesting stuff to publish . Or the needed time to spend my days posting here.
However there was some positive effect. I mean the fact that I published during 30 days in a row made me feel that I can publish anything if I want to. It made me feel that I could do anything if I really wanted to do.
I took some blogging projects out of the drawer and... started publishing. as simple as that.
I got this first project on rail a couple of week ago. I set up a plain simple blog, gathered the first informations that I wanted to post and started posting in order to force me to continue gathering information.
It is also helping me to build a new vision of the use of social media and personal branding. Even if these subjects have nothing to do with the main topic of this new blog (beauty, history of Rio de Janeiro and maybe some footbal, I mean soccer for dummies like me).
More to come soon!

#SMCSFBlogOff - I missed my birthday!!!
My first post was on November 1st 2003.

I explained here how it all started. And it is still going on.
Please please please Blogger continue upgrading and going upwards so I don't feel like changing platforms. I'm kind of attached to you, you're an old friend!

#SMCSFBlogOff - News from the world
The last 24-48 hours people have been talking about Sandy. All over France, maybe all over Europe, people were really caring about Sandy and New York.
It's good and nice to have this sens of solidarity.
But don't forget people at Haïti and Cuba who faced the storm a couple of days ago and had people killed. We talked less about them maybe because there's less people tweeting and instragramming from there.
It's also strange all this passion in France.
A few days ago, last week, people got killed with a storm, the wind was quite like Sandy, before hitting the continent the wind was like 150 km/h (hum, I can't talk/write miles) and apparently when it hit New York this have dropped to a little bit less.
We had in the south of France wind of 120 km/h. And there was no fuss like I read about the States.
I'm not saying it isn't serious.
It's just that there was some other bad events elsewhere too.
I am glad to hear that people I know who lives in New York or was just in the middle of their holidays during the storm.
I'm glad people I know who lives in Richmond are okay.
Just let's not forget that other people are suffering from the same storm, or other storms.
Let's be solidary about eveyone.
Now, that the strom is over, let's clean the cities and move on!
Go Go Go!
**
NB: As I said, I'll be away during a couple of days, but I'm leaving home in 2 hours, so I had the time to right something for today. Now the thing will be to manage to publish something tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! Stay tuned, the challenge on the challenge in on!

#SMCSFBlogOff - Social fooding
I like to cook. I often cook recipes I have at home or have some brand new idea and try something different.
For this reason and because of the web and social networking I discoverd the social food. I took once cooking classes, I'd like to take more classes.
I'm a food reporter - I don't know if a similar app exists in english (oh yeah they do have an english version, I added the right link) but this one is made for those people like me who like to take pictures of the dishes they cooked or from what they're having at the restaurant.
You can share the pics and the recipies and people don't like they "miam" your pic.
Lovely. You can follow me there, but sometimes I post these pics on Instagram too.
On the same subject I started following a couple of chefs. Not many, just a few. And they share their cooking in different ways.
Take Jamie Oliver. No need to introduce him, right?
I follow him only on Instagram. He publishes whatever. Almost never his cooking. We get people he meets, we get pics of his kids, we get pics of funny moments of his trips/life.
Take Roberta Sudbrack. I didn't know she had served a brazilian president until sometime after I was already following her. I never looked for information about her, but I had heard about her.
I follow her on Twitter and on Instagram. She publishes pics of her trips but they're all - 97% about ther cooking. Her staff in the kitchen, her staff having fun during a service, she and her staff when they were in Paris for a special event. She was in London for the Games and she'd cook special meals and bake special brazilian sweets (brigadeiro) for the brazilian athlets who got medals. She and her followers jokes about her team what she does: it's the sudteam, sudplate, etc. She always say hello or byebye to the "social kitchen". Yeah, we can quite experience her kitchen during the service.
I also follow some other chefs, mostly brazilians because I tell myself that I'll probably go to their restaurants one of these days.
One who is really funny is Carlos Bertolazzi. Him and a group of other male chefs (or common mortals like you and me?) take part on a sort of program called Homem Gourmet (Gourmet Man or Male). I follow him on Twitter. They exchange non-sense tweets. You feel like going one of these days to his restaurant because you certainly will spend a fun time.
I do agree with Roberta: the kitchen is social. When there's a party at home, at one point, at least with latin origin people (be them brazilians, french, italians or spaniards!) at one point of the party we are socializing at the kitchen. I would even love to have a kitchen to throw parties in it!
Eating and food is a way to gather people. When we can't be together IRL we get virtually together around a dish.
But as we know, the world isn't this beautiful. While there are people with tons of food, there are people starving. Maybe we could think of a social kitchen project who could give some food for those in the need. Don't you think?

#SMCSFBlogOff - Dancing on the web
Yesterday I saw some videos of contemporary dance. The choreographies were created by someone I met before, like 15-18 years ago.We were both students.
These choreography are very original.
They're different.
They're.... strange.
In portuguese we'd say she "travelled in the mayo". Meaning that WTF is going on in her head?
Her concept is original, quite, inspired from a painting, black and white. She was inspired by minimalist paintings for a minimalist choreography.
In most of the videos I saw, she published 5-6 videos, she is evolving alone in the middle of a black space. The floor is black, the sides are black, the ceiling is black (if there's one). She is wearing black and her skin is the white element with the light.
As the inspiration is minimalism, the music is minimalist. The decor is minimalist.
My impression is therefore... minimalist.
I don't feel like linking the videos here.
I don't know why. Some of you may like. I'm not that receptive from these videos or minimalist concept.
It's not fair from me. It's her job and she believes in it. If you want to watch, just go ahead.
I like her minimalist hands though.
Let's keep this post minimalist.

#SMCSFBlogOff - Me like ma followers
I like to get new followers. I like to know that people read my tweets and decide to follow me. Because I'm smart witty or... nuts.
But I have to say that some kind of new followers intrigue me.
I tweet or retweet in french, portuguese and english. Not necessarily in this order.
The subjects are various and can interest - on not - tons of people.
Lately I've been getting latin american folowers. Great I'm latino but... I don't tweet in spanish. I have a couple of a little dozen spanish-tweeters.
I'm interested in many subjects but almost never ever finances / money. I have a few finince-type followers. At least they gor the right languages, english or portuguese!
But the best of all is one whose nick name is (not in english): How to be a milionnaire!
(Message to him/her: don't forget to tell me how, please)
One last think to make this clear: I'd like to discover if among them I'll find those people who have been looking for "elizabeth 11 fake"....

#SMCSFBlogOff - Thursday confession
#jeudiconfession
One of the songs in my iPod/iPhone is Hips don't lie.
I've imagined me dancing like Shakira once or twice.
And that's all I know from her. And the waka-waka stuff.

#SMCSFBlogOff - Climbing to the stars
Or the heights of mind.
I take yôga classes, well, it isn't only yôga it is a method which comes from ancient yôga from 5.000 years ago first started by Shiva and developed and codified in the 20th century (I prefer decoded if this word exists) by a Master.
I feel better, I sleep better, have less back ache when I wake up in the morning.
And we got social. We do social yôga.
If you organize yourself with the teachers, if you practice a little bit in one of the clubs/schools, it is possible to take classes through Skype.
Last time we in Paris had a colleague practicing with us from Switzerland.
We are also social yôga because we exchange quite a lot through Facebook - mainly through this tool. But the teams of teachers from this method in many different countries also blog, as well as the Maître.
We organize meetings, we keep each other posted about novelties, contests and whatsoever through our private group on FB.
This media allow us to communicate with people that we normallly don't meet, like I go to classes certain days of the week, and almost never meet some people who only go the days I don't go.
We share websites, feelings, ideas.
It's another way to put this people together.
There's no special intention to create any kind of emulation or energy. It's just another tool to communicate. At the end we happen to exchange propably more than the initial intention of the group.
We are living in a social era. Some people say business is social, but sport is getting social, cooking is getting social, working is getting social.
From collaborative tools we are getting to a social level and we are really working together while socializing.
There are many tools, and many more will appear.
I'm trying to figure out which tool will replace Twitter within 4 years.
Any thoughts?

#SMCSFBlogOff - Travelling to the US
One thing that is occuring with me during this blog contest: I'm discovering a new whole lot of bloggers, all North Americans - or at least people living in the US - bloggers that I don't know. These people are most probably from Florida. Or live in Florida.
I haven't been to Florida.
Seems to be a nice spot.
I want to go to the Keys.
To the Everglades.
To Cape Canaveral.
I want to meet the Experts and Horatio's crime scenes in the streets of Miami.
I want to go to Tampa - well, you know, Magic Mike didn't move to Miami at the end of the movie. If I want to have the chance to see his a..... ahem I mean his nice recycled furniture I have to go to Tampa.
Sorry, I'll be back. I'll go there check airplane fares and be back soon.
In the meantime: if you're not from Florida, where have you been in the States? How about... Paris/Texas?

On #BCA20 and #SMCSFBlogOff
I was really happy to be at the soirée - the french leg - for breast cancer awareness.
I already wrote a post but I can't stop writing it.
The prizes for the researchers are really important they need financial help to continue their work. Thanks to them many people survived this disease and many more will.
I also felt proud to be brazilian in this night as one of the godmothers is a brazilian woman who's established in France since long ago as myself, Cristina Cordula.
I immediately linked it to a serie of posts and mostly pictures that I followed through @alexdc flickr, the Latino Heritage.
Well here in Paris we don't have this heritage (the latinos I mean latin here were others...) but we have a presence. Which is good! It will become a heritage.
On this occasion I didn't tweet much about what people were saying. But of course their speeches were important. Be followed and give the needed importance to this issue.
Prevention.
It's not the only battle we should fight for but one can't fight all at once.
See one more good point about this: more blog posts.

Changing my Facebook-Twitter experience
Depuis que j'ai pris un smartphone, ma Facebook life a changé.
Et autres morceaux de mon internet life too.
Et autres morceaux de mon internet life too.
Je profite des transports en commun pour faire mon check rapide. Ce
qui s'est passé, une news d'ami, un post marrant.
Et hop, le tour est joué, je me connecte à peine à la maison.
Du coup, il y a quelques fonctionnalités qui me manquent sur l'app.
Notamment le share, partage d'un post.
Ça viendra peut-être dans une mise à jour future.
Mais surtout mon smartphone est ZE bonheur pour Twitter!
La taille exacte, suivre le fil d'infos, toujours connectée à mes
journaux préférés (brésiliens, britanniques, américains et français).
C'est la world news dans ma poche. Heu, mon sac à main de fille avec
88 trucs inutiles et lourds dedans.
C'est avec mon téléphone de la pomme que je profite et tire un max de
profite de l'usage des réseaux sociaux.
Et vous?

Blogging around
La petite chanteuse australienne (information apprise dans ma folle
jeunesse pendant ma courte période londonienne) chante dans l'un de
ses albums (que je n'ai pas)
I spinning around....
J'essaie d'appliquer ici:
I blogging around...
Mais ceci est assez compliqué. Parfois on souhaite écrire sur des
sujets trop (ou pas assez) polémiques, ou des sujets sur lesquels on
peut parler, mais pas écrire.
Ou vice versa.
Ou versa vice.
Bref.
Ah je ne peux plus utiliser bref, depuis la série... Non je ne copie
pas, je le disais/écrivais avant.
Voilà un post qui ne sert pas à grand chose.
Done.

Follow - no follow
Je nettoie mes followers / following sur Twitter.
C'est étrange de s'abonner au compte de quelques cies aériennes et de trouver une hôtesse de l'air abonnée à mon compte. Etrange.
Aussi... je n'ai jamais écrit sur l'Océanie, l'Australie ou encore moins la Nouvelle Zélande.
Eh bin depuis que j'ai commencé à following quelques profils de voyage j'ai droit à la Grande barrière de corail, les champs néozélandais et tout et tou.
Tiens, une idée de vacances!!!!

Ils sont trop forts!
Je m'amuse beaucoup avec les apps de Feïssibouc.
Je les utilise un peu, quand je ne veux plus je les enlève de mon profil, certaines je garde pour observer.
La dernière qui m'amuse assez est Blogs Network.
Je suis l'auteure de ce blog, mais tant que personne ne l'a confirmé via l'interface de cette appli, je ne suis pas l'auteure de ce blog!
Oh my god!
Que vais je faire?
Donner les accès à quelqu'un d'autre jusqu'à ce qu'une petite âme amie me reconnaisse comme the owner of Ze Manchot?
Eh bin, Cha-alors!
