I am from Rio Grande do Sul State.

And other things i leave behind. May 26, 2013. There are certain moments in one's life that are memorable because of their symbolism, the physicality they bring to aging. Getting your driver's license. Drinking your first beer (legally.). Moving out. And now, signing the lease to your first apartment. I could go on an on about this apartment despite having never set foot in it! And that lends a bit of surreality *. To this whole thing. It's weird to think, and even more weird to say. In the words of.

And other things i leave behind. Apr 30, 2012. Music Monday: Young Blood in Singapore. But Music Monday gives me a chance to at least showcase one of my favourite cities/countries/islands in the world: Singapore. Yes, I've posted tonnes of photos and blog posts about my five-ish months in Southeast Asia, but this video is just amazingly well put together and deserves to be shared. I hope that you'll quickly see why I fell so deeply in love with Singapore. In the words of. The naked and famous. So this po...

Crumb Trails: September 2012
http://jackerbies.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
And other things i leave behind. Sep 25, 2012. Past, Present, Future. I'm still not quite accustomed to the fact I live in Banff. The other day I said the words, "Here in British Columbia." Nope, this ain't BC. I'm an Alberta boy now. If you told me a year ago I would be living in Banff, doing what I'm doing, I wouldn't have believed you. I probably would have laughed. A year before that, the idea of living in Singapore would have brought forth the same reaction. Where I ranted about my lack of gainful e...

I won't promise on making regular posts again, but so much has happened in the last little while that an appearance became necessary. We're gonna do this in numbered format to make things more interesting and easy to follow, savvy? I bro...
