LOL...I was half-kidding...emoticons are often ambiguous aren't they?


i don't even know if agri-chan reads gantz.

So?...she could have still seen the User Title. :oh

She doesn't have to understand it to have seen it, but maybe it would be more memorable to a Gantz reader. :imslow

[Agrias]

When I asked everyone replied "oh, it's xio, it's the gantz thing" but yeah, i had no idea >.>

[Gold Knight]

It was a Gantz reference? :s

I must be dumb too... I don't remember that.

[baboysai]

how come!!! it's like, the description the ordinary people had for the awesomest character in gantz!

okay agri-chan. you answered my question.

somehow though, much as i enjoy reading gantz for its OMFGBBQ moments, i don't feel the urge to convince anyone to read it. :oh

[xi0]

When I asked everyone replied "oh, it's xio, it's the gantz thing" but yeah, i had no idea >.>

WTF...why am I labeled as a Gantz guy? I hope who you asked knew it was Gantz and didn't just assume so... :notrust


It was a Gantz reference? :s

I must be dumb too... I don't remember that.

Daytime Lantern (昼行灯 Hiru Andon)

It's a neat saying and one of my favorite Gantz chapters.

[Gold Knight]

Ah, yeah.

Cruel though ;P

[xi0]

Ah, yeah.

Cruel though ;P

How's it cruel? :blink

[baboysai]

that it means you're useless?

Agri-chan, how is brazillian architecture? i mean, do you have identity issues or anything? Coz we filipinos have, since we've been colonized by so many -_-;

[xi0]

that it means you're useless?

Well I am...but that isn't cruelty by definition. I was talking about myself.

It's self-deprecation.

[Agrias]

Sorry Babs, I have missed the question! xD

Although we had a strong identity over the 60's-70's, with all the concrete shells and brutalist style, and also a very rich colonial baroque architecture highly influenced by our portuguese roots, things got kinda..."diluted" now. Guess it's like this all over the world nowadays >.<

Btw, some archi pics from my trip to São Paulo :3

I may be biased, but Lina Bo Bardi is just awesome. Even her name is awesome. xD I'm sad because I didn't get to visit MASP -_-

[xi0]

Two architects on staff, that is a neat coincidence.

Brutalism?! :nuts

It's cool but I guess with a name like that I'm sort of disappointed :noworry

That's actually sad. Two suffering souls ;_;

Absolutely...giant sharp spires and sharp edges. Basically Brutalism should look as if you happened to skydive and parachute in or around the structure you will @#%in' die <_>

[baboysai]

you know, I deleted my CAD from my PC right after thesis because I just wanted to get rid of the thing. and then my mom gets all depressed that she couldn't have her very own house (since my dad was getting impatient and thought of buying some predesigned house). so I thought I should design her one, but I realized all my archi stuff are gone from my PC!

I actually did everything manually, up to the very minute details. and since i'm living in a different island, i could only show her the plans like, rarely. so far she's seen them once (she loves it) but there are revisions of course. So...

I'm frantically looking for a CAD installer. I lost mine -_-; I don't think I'd go through the manual thing again. it feels like first year college all over again.

nothing. i just wanted to rant. -_____________-
[hr]
btw, the 2nd set looks nice, Agri-chan. I love that detail- are those structural or what?

and wait, wasn't oscar niemeyer the one who loved to use wood and steel with curvy fiber glass stuff? i think there was a whole book about every one of those he made. or was it some other architect? -_-; i forget these things.

[Agrias]

While it's impossible to start a project on cad directly and I sure love my sketching time, I agree that making it as a whole without cad is kinda sadistic and so last decade, as cute as it may look. xD

And about the installer...no comments >D



btw, the 2nd set looks nice, Agri-chan. I love that detail- are those structural or what?
Nope, just short bridges between buildings. I love the "windows", so...raw.

No way! He's known as "the concrete master", he uses nothing but concrete on everything. They look nice, but kinda expensive to build nowadays - the concrete shells need some giant wooden molds (dunno if that's the right word :p) to be built.

[baboysai]

so it's not some pre-cast stuff like Tadao Ando uses?

monolithic pouring? :o
[hr]
btw, I'm starting the saint young men manga. i think it's interesting... and 5 chapters in, what's to lose, eh?

[Agrias]

so it's not some pre-cast stuff like Tadao Ando uses?


Nope. The guy is totally old school (he's 101 yrs old and still working, can you believe? xD), pre-cast is too "this decade" for him, hehe.


monolithic pouring? :o
Oh yes baby. Really fun to watch.



btw, I'm starting the saint young men manga. i think it's interesting... and 5 chapters in, what's to lose, eh?
Saint Seiya? Original one? :D The manga is teeeerible, the art is so poor. Fun anyways. :p

[baboysai]

so like there's an original and a remake manga?

i'm starting the one that njt posted up front...

[Agrias]

I just noticed we're not talking about the same thing, he he.

[Gold Knight]

In the beginning he wants the audience to sing along but they're not loud enough. He let's the ladies sing first, then the men, and decides that the men are the culprint. So he says that he counts on the ladies but in the end (when he screams the 'ey'), he says that he has to do it alone ^^;

Wir schwingen unser linkes Bein
behende aus dem Bett,
der Bettvorleger gibt uns Schwung
bis direkt vors Klosett.
Und wo wir schon mal da sind,
da bleib'n wir gleich hier,
Hah, fertig . . . Wo ist das Papier?

Guten Morgen liebe Sorgen,
seid ihr auch schon alle da?
Habt ihr auch so gut geschlafen?
Na, dann is' ja alles klar.

Die eifrigsten sind unsere Japanischen Gaeste,
will ich Ihnen nur mal sagen...

Wenn ein Tag so wunderschön beginnt
ist alles drin:
Heute bleibt die Dusche kalt,
das Wasserrohr ist hin.
Wir gleiten auf den Fliesen aus
und prellen uns den Steiß,
als Krönung schmeckt der Kaffee heute
irgendwie nach Schweiß.

Die Zeitung ist geklaut, was solls,
die schreiben eh nur Dreck.
Ein Zettel auf dem Tisch - für mich?
Aha, die Frau ist weg...
Mit meinem Auto, meinem Hund,
dat nennt die nun Liebe.
Die Pornosammlung hat 'se auch.
Gelegenheit macht Diebe.

Guten Morgen liebe Sorgen,
seid ihr auch schon alle da?
Habt ihr auch so gut geschlafen?
Na, dann ist ja alles klar.

Ich trink mir einen, steig in's Auto
trete voll aufs Gas.
Entenjagen macht besoffen
doppelt so viel Spaß.
"Wieso hat der vor mir jetzt
'ne Vollbremsung gemacht?"
... denke ich noch so bei mir.
Und dann wird es Nacht.

Ich werde wach, vor meinem Bett,
steht ein alter Mann.
Sagt: "Sie hatten einen Unfall."
Und grinst mich blöde an.
Ich sach: „Wieso hab ich eigentlich,
noch das Steuer in der Hand?"
Er meint: "Mh mh, das wird in Engelskreisen,
Harfe genannt.

Guten Morgen liebe Sorgen,
seid ihr auch schon alle da?
Habt ihr auch so gut geschlafen?
Na, dann ist ja alles klar.We swing our left leg,
nimbly out of the bed,
the bedside rug bounces us
till directly in front of the toilet.
And while we're already here,
we decide to stay,
Hah, done... where's the paper?

Good morning, dear worries,
are you all here already, too?
Did you also sleep so well?
Fine, then everything's ok.

The most eager ones are our Japanese guests,
I just wanted to tell you...

If a day starts so nicely,
then everything is included:
The shower stays cold today,
the water pipe is broken.
We slip on the tiles
and bruise our rump,
to top it all, the coffee tastes today
somehow like sweat.

The newspaper was stolen, who cares,
they only write crap anyways.
A note on the table – for me?
Aha, the wife is gone...
With my car, my dog,
that's what she calls love.
She took the porn collection too,
opportunity makes thiefs.

Good morning, dear worries,
are you all here already, too?
Did you also sleep so well?
Fine, then everything's ok.

I have a booze, enter my car,
step fully on the gas.
Hunting ducks is, when you're drunk,
the double amount of fun.
"Why did the one in front of me
an emergency stop right now?"
... I still think by myself,
and then it's getting dark.

I wake up, in front of my bed,
stands a old guy.
Says: „You had an accident.“
And stupidely grins at me.
I say: „Why do I still have,
the steering wheel in my hand, anyhow?“
He says: „No no, in angel circles,
this is called a harp.“

Good morning, dear worries,
are you all here already, too?
Did you also sleep so well?
Fine, then everything's ok.

I suck terribly as a translator but really like doing it :nuts

[Agrias]

Aww Enini, how considerate xD
I think i'll change the title of this thread to "Portuguesich Deutsch Agrigo Hangout Thread" or something like that. xD

[eni]

Isn't that kinda already part of the thread title? :XD

And I'm bored like hell atm... maybe I should translate a whole album >___>
Did you see the stuff I posted in the German Study threads some days ago? I upped some kind of audio book for children (incl. text book) and a quick-and-dirty language guide.

[Agrias]

Now wait...I never noticed we have a german study thread. *runs there*

I was gonna ask you to recommend me some easy children books so I could try reading! xD Gonna get this audio book for sure :D

[baboysai]

Try Hope for the Flower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_for_the_flowers)s by Trina Paulus. It's one of my top 5 books ever. and you can finish it in an hour.

also, The Giving Tree (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giving_Tree), The Missing Piece (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Missing_Piece_%28book%29), and The Lion Who Shot Back (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafcadio:_The_Lion_Who_Shot_Back). Three children's books that are by the same author, Shel Silverstein.

[xi0]

She was talking about Children's books in German :oh

[baboysai]

oh right well...

haha.

they're pretty good recs anyway, Agri-chan! you should read them :3
[hr]
hey agri-chan, i was just wondering. that pic you gave kaylee, was it the tux team cosplayers?

[Agrias]

I have no idea Babi-tan...I just googled "narusasu yaoi cake" or "b-day" or something like that and it appeared >.>

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3289/2805285732_32cd69ed69.jpg

yuck, narusasu. >.<

[baboysai]

LOL it must have been painful to do that hahahahaha. but yeah, I'm thinking it mostly is the tux team. I'll ask Dizzy about it. I think she likes the group.

[blai]

I IS REVIVING THRED JES?

HAI

Caps was necessary for the feeling of writing here for the first time.

[Agrias]

Oh :o

Btw, thanks for your offer sir, but keep both of your spotify accs ^^ I can wait till you get another invite, that will be greatly appreciated. :x

[blai]

Ah ok it's cool, I really only need one.. But I can give it to my younger sis or something since she doesn't have one... Not that she know what Spotify is...

I so hate chemistry at the moment.. *head 0 vs 2 desk*

ouch

[Agrias]

.....so gimme then! :wtf

and go give chemistry some loving, so we can play l4d later. >.>

[blai]

Haha sure, I'll PM you the details if i can remember them which i believe i can.


Hmm.. I'll do my best to love chemistry but i can't promise l4d today. Deffo on thursday b/c it's a huge exam that is like a huge exam so i need to study for it.. Been procrastinating the studying for almost a month now.. Need to do well to score an A. If i don't get an A i can't get that mark in the course :(

[Agrias]

We wouldn't be able to play anyways, by the time i get home from work, all the good guys in Scandinavia are already in bed ^^

...or at least they are supposed to be in bed. >.>

[blai]

Haha aaw :( I'm supposed to be in bed at midnight GMT+1 to get the rec amount of sleep but yah sometimes i stay a bit later tee-hee

But you tend to log on earlier than that rite?

[Agrias]

Nope, only on weekends =[
Actually, the days i get home the earliest are tuesdays/thurdays/fridays, when i get home at 6-7pm...that i guess it's 10pm or so for you :p Mondays/weds I have my german course, so when I get home it's already midnight or 1am in Swedwesome land. :3

Anyways, go study and keep the fun for the weekends! I should do that too...my 1st german test was.....well...DA BOMB. >.>

[eni]

Agrias, you're familiar with Subway to Sally (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLZ8jYHRdFw)? I mean to remember that you knew some songs but not if you like it >.<

I was thinking of scanning their illustrated lyrics book which should be an easy read for a German beginner, especially when you listen to the songs at the same time. The lyrics are drawn as comics (while keeping the text 1:1) and some are really amazing, art- and storywise.

So Lina was given the task by the Magic Guild to infiltrate a noble's household, suspected of being the base for a group of bandits. Thus she got hired here as a maid. It happened that Naga was working here as a maid, too, after the resident ojou-sama, Daisy, helped her out when Naga noticed she lost her wallet after a huge lunch at the local restaurant. When Lina sent Naga flying with a corkscrew punch when the latter was about to blow her cover, Daisy fell in love with her. And tried to force her way on Lina by paralyzing her.

Hey ya :) I'm working working and working, and playing TF2 when I have time :3 Also trying to learn german...

I don't play soccer, in fact, i don't play anything ^^;
Although liking soccer is as natural as breathing here, it's still seen as a sport for man....the women's teams are still small and don't have any support from anyone - we only get to know they're still playing when they win an important championship (and they do win a lot >D). Then they get some seconds of highlight, just to disappear again...

So well, while guys play soccer at school, girls are used to play handball, basketball or volleyball instead. I did play a few matches here and there though, but it was a complete disaster...

....wait, i'm a living disaster in every sport. >.>


And if I think we'll win the World Cup? Of course. >D We're currently on the confed cup! The final is gonna be on sunday, against USA. =3

[eni]

It's the very same here with football. Totally dominated by guys although our women teams are actually really good. But I can't say that I mind. Even as a female myself, I have no interest in woman's football at all.

Though, one difference is surely that football gets played at school by just everyone here. At least in my region. I always had much fun to play football at school :3

[Agrias]

We also get to play it at school, but the teachers don't give it as much emphasis as they do for the guys xD
Boys love to watch girls playing school football, as it's decribed as an awesome comedy show - we're used to kick each other's legs more than the ball itself, and the screaming sessions are epic >.>

[eni]

Really? :XD

During school, they don't differ much between the gender here. You either like playing football or not and there are plenty of guys who hate it and plenty girls who love it. Our class had a very strong female players and we regulary won the school cup :3

Ah, sweet memories :sweat

On another note how similar is portuguese to spanish? Is one better than the other. Any other opinions?

http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?month=12&day=27&year=2009&hour=1&min=30&sec=00&p0=45 :D
still so much time ;_;

(and right after I made that, I was taking a look at my Orkut profile, and it showed this:
Today's fortune: Don't count every hour in the day. Make every hour in your day count.

Being that I have a german test and tons of work due to tomorrow, it made me feel quite bad.

But i'm still here procrastinating, though! xD)

[blai]

\o/ when are you arriving in Germany?
see countdown clock above, that's my departure time. add 10h for germany. xD
But it's departure, I wanna know arrival!
Add 10h to my arrival in germany, i meant. :p


and 83 days is NOTHING :D woho!

Need to get my tickets down myself soon.

[M3J]

Why not get old MSN, then?

[Agrias]

Doesn't work anymore, says that the update is compulsory :/

[M3J]

Torrent?

[Agrias]

I have tons of versions of the old ones; they install, but doesn't work. When you try to login, it asks me to download the new version and won't login till I update. :p

[blai]

I think it has something with your ability to suck in tf2 ;d
Directly related with your talent for spam! >.>

[M3J]

WLM FTW tho. You can edit the look, no?

[godofthesunn]

This may have been asked already.. But would you say the majority of women in brazil are more attractive then other countries? I suppose that would mean you would need to travel out of brazil to know. Either please give your honest opinion.

[Agrias]

That urban legend is totally a lie...we have a giant (and I mean more than 60%) porcentage of absolutely disgusting looking women too, specially in my city...ugh. In my honest opinion, the most beautiful ones are in Scandinavia. ^^

[M3J]

Can you speak Spanish or just Portuguese?
Hola Agrias, como estas? Blai esta puta. =[

[Agrias]

I started a spanish course this semester and gave up at 4 lessons, too boring. >.> I can read spanish and understand, but I can't write or speak.

Blai está puto, you'd say in pt. :p

[godofthesunn]

Beauty is rather subjective.. So to further this question without it getting ugly. So your basically saying that 60% of women ages 18-35(the only demographic that matters) do not look like Adrianna Lima. Or rather look completely opposite from her and thus unattractive?

[M3J]

[eni]

...so you're implying that there's a possibility that 40% do? :oh
Actually, I'd say that there's easily a 75% possibility that they do but only a minority of those know how to wear makeup :oh
http://i35.tinypic.com/qyal2v.jpg

The majority of girls in nearly every country would look like pro models when they would get similar treatment for the body. Celebrities are paid for looking good, so they obviously invest a lot into it. But take a look at them when caught off guard during a slacking phase and they're just as ordinary as every other girl who's doing some sports and basic health care.

Even the pic above is still not a 'raw image' of how she'd look regularly. My own mother didn't recognize me once just because I couldn't plug my eyebrows for a while due to a wrist injury. Such tiny things make major differences in looks.

Oh, thanks. Puta and puto are basically the same. <_<
If it ends with "a" -> female, "o"-> male. It's like that in spanish too, I think. :p

http://i35.tinypic.com/qyal2v.jpg
She's beautiful even without make up ._.

[M3J]

I dunno what Blai said, but I'll ignore him as he's a weird hungry boy.
It's the same for Spanish too, but why do people care about that? :(

[blai]

They care because you don't say waiter to a female, or priestess to a male >.>

Same principle.

[godofthesunn]

...so you're implying that there's a possibility that 40% do? :oh

Who are you and why are you stalking me..?


Rather look completely opposite from her and thus unattractive, yes. :p

She's beautiful even without make up ._.

Thank you agrias your the only one who knows the truth..Only those in the 40% can truly tell.

On another note, if they aren't in your city where are the 40%.

I think that typically there are high concentrations of certain demographics. My assumption is that there are high concentrations in major cities. So would you say there is a high concentration of the 40% of beautiful women in Sao Paulo?

[M3J]

They care because you don't say waiter to a female, or priestess to a male >.>

Same principle.

Why's it matter though? It's still referring to people.

[blai]

But it indicates that it's a male / female. Same thing as saying "she" or "he"

[Agrias]

So would you say there is a high concentration of the 40% of beautiful women in Sao Paulo?
Nah, they're mixed around. But in the south, and in Rio the porcentage is higher. xD

[M3J]

But it indicates that it's a male / female. Same thing as saying "she" or "he"

I know. <_< But it shouldn't matter.

Hi Agrias. Are you angry now? D:

[patedecarne]

No, Minas Gerais has the highest concentration of the 40% remaining women, FACT, FACT, FACT

Just look for a person named Natália Guimarães: Easily one of the top 10, period.

I'll bring pics later :XD

Oh, and Adriana Lima is pretty, indeed, but compared to others women here, she's just a Smeagol, and I'm serious about it :p

[Agrias]

Why are you guys discussing women on my thread now anyways? ¬¬'


oh, i'm a guy!

BRING IT!

[blai]

oh, i'm a guy!



QUOTED FOR TRUTH! <3


So Agri, first thing you're going to do when you land in Germany?

[Agrias]

I'll stop panicking, then stop trembling, then get out of the damn plane and kiss the ground. Then I'll get my luggage (hope it arrives safely), then after all the bureaucracy I'll snuggle Khal. :3

[godofthesunn]

Agrias why are you going to Germany anyways?

I was under the impression you were working at a architecture firm?

[Agrias]

I'm visiting eni, khal, blai and everyone else at Europe-land in my vacation ^-^

I still work there :p

[eni]

No snuggling eni? ;___________________;

[Agrias]

I dunno if you'll be there yet! xD If there's more than one Khal, then I'll randomly choose. Or it'll be a grouphug <3

[eni]

Oi, I'm not letting him have the fun all alone >______>

[blai]

I'm not jealous, no not at all...

*walks out of this thread*

[eni]

Blai... since you arrive before Danini, you would be there too, naturally -_-;

Or do you want to babysit the kids while the rest is going to fetch her? <_<

[Agrias]

I thought only Khal was gonna pick me up at the airport, silly people. T_T

/me snugs Blaiblai too

[godofthesunn]

Where do you get your avatars from? Do you draw them yourself?

[Agrias]

http://danbooru.donmai.us/ xD

[blai]

Yeah right Agrias, you can't fool me twice </3
But...but..i swear i thought only khal was going ;_:
</3

@eni me + german kids = not good.
Last summer at my job there were 2 german kids there, they grew very fond of me in their own way and spent the summer hurting me while laughing at it.
You're evil people!

[eni]

What, you met them already? O.O

[blai]

I didn't meet them in particular, but I'm sure there were some kind of connection between them and you ¬¬

Seriously though.:blink...what did you get up to??? Hey Agrias..;)

[thornofcarrion]

Hey Agrias!

How goes life? Are you back? I hope you guys had a wonderful time there, and by wonderful I am not implying anything the above two are trying to <.<.

[Bugzee]

:amuse ^ Hey come on TOC-san...you MUST BE :cool: interested *a bit* or at the very least curious to know what exactly happened?? hey :blink hey :blink hey :XD

Well, I don't think Agrias will be replying any time soon :XD so we shall just have to wait.....and leave it to our imaginations ::smile-big *we should create a new thread to discuss the matter further so that some folks can explain possible theories.......:XD* Just kidding :p


:shifty :shifty :shifty

[Agrias]

Oh, I'm back home, from -10ºc to 30ºc or something like that. Such a great feeling. Not.

Thanks for all the wishes :D The snow is awesome, europe is awesome, and i had the time of my life. <3

Welcome back Agrias. What was your favorite part about the trip?

[Bugzee]

Hey Agrias!!!

The pictures are on Facebook. :p

[Bugzee]

The pictures are on Facebook. :p

I don't have a Facebook account :scry

[Xadyu]

You are to blame yourself..

So Agrias, have you authorized any military actions lately? :amuse

[M3J]

The pictures are on Facebook. :p

I second that.
Though I don't have her as a friend on FB. :(

[Agrias]

Welcome back Agrias. What was your favorite part about the trip?
All. Seriously, I can't decide. I want to go back. <.< Holland is like an utopian land, Germany is beautiful, Gothemburg is awesome and damn cold, Belgium was great (wished I could have stayed longer there)...I guess the part I disliked the most was Paris - dislike is a strong word. It was also awesome, I saw many great stuff and had a great time, but I liked the other places better. xD

But really, The Netherlands...and all the bikes, and the swans I saw in the canals, the cool architecture and the cozy feeling...aww. <3


You are to blame yourself..

So Agrias, have you authorized any military actions lately? :amuse
Many, the army wasn't reunited for nothing. Beware. xD

[M3J]

How's Holland like an utopian land? O_o
Is there such thing that exists nowadays? :(

But glad to see you enjoyed yourself and glad to see you're back. ^_^

[blai]

Pfft, the best part was the snuggle-time with Herm. We already know that. B*tch pleeeease. :D

[Xadyu]

Though I don't have her as a friend on FB. :(
Neither do I. :p


But really, The Netherlands...and all the bikes, and the swans I saw in the canals, the cool architecture and the cozy feeling...aww. <3

That's the thing I like about the Netherlands too, well, I don't care about the swans and stuff, but for the rest, you're right. :3

Hmm, so the rumors I heard were true.. When are you planning to strike ..uhm.. something?


Pfft, the best part was the snuggle-time with Herm. We already know that. B*tch pleeeease. :D
:rofl

[Bugzee]

Agrias has purposely ignored my questions :(

I guess it's for the best :tem

[Agrias]

I thought the guys had answered for me already <,<

[Bugzee]

They didn't answer the MORE important questions but nevermind Agrias! :cool:

Lets start with some random questions :tem

Favourite colour???
Favourite song at the moment??:blink
Baths or Showers?
Do you doodle/scribble when your bored??
Do you suffer from an OCD???:blink

[Agrias]

Favourite colour???
Black to wear, yellow for everything else.

Favourite song at the moment??:blink
Porcupine Tree - Trains

Baths or Showers?
Baths should be awesome, but I don't have a bathtub. >.>

Do you doodle/scribble when your bored??
When I'm not bored too. I'm always doodling. :p

Do you suffer from an OCD???:blink
Does hating comic sans and pointing at it to complain whenever I see something written with it count?

[thornofcarrion]

You are a soccer fan? If yes then who is your favorite. To be honest, most of favorite soccer players come from Brazil. Brazil has produced some extraordinary players over the years.

[Agrias]

I'm a "distant" football fan :P I support Flamengo and Ceará (2 brazilian teams), but I seldom watch the games - only finals or matches against famous or long-time rivals. xD
But when the national team is playing in a big tournament, like the World Cup or the Olympic games, I always get in the mood and turn fanatic (like the rest of the country xD). Really, the country gets wild when it's World Cup year...people are preparing already :3

[thornofcarrion]

I know its a euphoria everywhere. They literally speak, walk, eat, etc. soccer when it worldcup draws near.

Any game you played recently? Oh have you heard Sepultura? I used to hear them many many years ago. As I remember they were originally from Brazil. Or my mind is failing me yet once more.

[blai]

I thought the guys had answered for me already <,<


Wowow! :hearts :hearts :hearts :hearts :hearts ^^

So, how's life back in Brazil?

[Agrias]

Any game you played recently?
Besides TF2, only Dragon Age, awesome stuff. Stopped because I went to Europe, now I wanna get back in the mood to get to the end of it. Also played a bit of The World Ends with you on the DS. Couldn't play for more than 1h though, damn "stoic" protagonists make me SO ANGRY.



Oh have you heard Sepultura? I used to hear them many many years ago. As I remember they were originally from Brazil. Or my mind is failing me yet once more.
Yup they are. Great stuff, although it's not the same anymore >.>


Wowow! :hearts :hearts :hearts :hearts :hearts ^^

So, how's life back in Brazil?

Sucks. I wanna move up. Post-europe blues. -_______-
Coming back from work today there was this huge traffic jam, and I shouted to a bus driver because he was this close to bumping into my car and all. >.<

[M3J]

What car do you drive?

[blai]

Can you define "up"? :D Awh, well, to my defense you'd get tired of the snow. Really. We've had it for months and we usually only have snow for 2-3weeks top. And today on radio they said that they were expecting a snowstorm. YAAAAAAAAAAAY.

The traffic jam sucks ;/ They are thinking of starting to use trams in Umeå city (where I most likely will be living from this summer *dance* ) because the cars are a pain in the ass...

*dunks his head into the wall*

[Agrias]

In my defense, I'm tired of sun. Really. We've had it for years and we usually only have it....always. And today on radio they said that they were expecting 36c in the weekend. YAAAAAAAAAY. xD

[blai]

Fair enuff :sweat

[M3J]

Is it roomy? O_O

[Xadyu]

YOHOHO~

Which parts of the Netherlands did you visit, btw?

[Agrias]

Mostly Delft, Den Haag and Leuven. Khal didn't want to take me to Amsterdan because he said it sucks. >.>

[blai]

Agrias - he showed you the biiig "The Game" sign which, alone, should be worth the trip!!!

[Xadyu]

Mostly Delft, Den Haag and Leuven. Khal didn't want to take me to Amsterdan because he said it sucks. >.>

Well, yeah, there's nothing special about Amsterdam, for tourists it's awesome. I mean, you can get drugs and whore's legally, but that's it. The architecture is the same in most big city's, besides that Amsterdam is too fucking expensive, besides some monumental things, Den Haag etc. can offer you the same.

Although I think that Amsterdam is a place you must've visited once in your life. I visited it a couple of times now, one to just be there and the other time's were for business purposes.

I've never been to Delft, Den Haag and Leuven before, I've been through it.. You know, with the train and all, but I've never visited them properly.

Didn't you go to Maastricht or Utrecht? Both worth visiting too.

[3c]

Europe. :p

Oh you say that now, but after having snowstorms for weeks you may change your mind. Careful of what you wish :p

I can see how you get tired of the sun though. People tend to want something different than what they got. Me for example, I'd rather have sun as I get tired of the winter in Norway. Snow is fine, but 2 months is enough, then I want summer again. That's why I love Portugal (where my father lives) as it's sunny, hot and well, it's what I'm made for. Not this cold snowy country :amuse

I have a love/hate relation to winter I guess. Skiing is alot of fun, easily the best part of winter.

How come you live in the Netherlands and doesn't know all of it? It's so small, the entire country is smaller than my city! Gogogogo!

I wanted to visit more places, but time was short..

(trying to pronounce "Utrecht" was a lot of fun though (and embarassment too <.<).

At least you have 4 different seasons. :p We only have different levels of scorching sun all year long, it gets tiresome after years and years of non-stop baking.

In my city, it never gets under 23ºc (and that's considered cold weather here, usual stuff is 27~30ºc, during summer a bit more). I guess you have to live here to understand how annoying it is (at least for those like me, that aren't fond of beaches...the rest doesn't seem to mind... T___T). The most ridiculous part...here people sometimes refer to summer as "winter", you know why? Because it rains a lot, and those usual 5 precious minutes of water falling from the sky are considered "cold weather". >.>'

And I loved the cold weather, even when I was suffering. xD I'm so envious of you guys now. :~

Portugal hm? Go to the portuguese thread to put this portuguese in use with us for a change. :3

Yeah well, if I do it fast, it still takes me 6 hours to go to the top of the country. I live at the bottom, lulz. But I don't care about traveling so I don't do much of it anyway. I've visited 80% of Germany though, haha.

You should try "Scheveningen" then. Back in World War II the dutch used it to recognize German (or other foreign) infiltrants and such. :p

Even I can't pronounce it like it should been. But then again, I'm not 100% dutch.

[3c]

Haha, I'm horrible at writing portuguese Agrias :)

I never learned to write the language, so the little I know I basically learned from reading subtitled movies/series in Portugal aswell as reading some articles there in the newsparers. I can write abit, but it's often horrible, haha. I understand most writing though as long as it's not too complicated. I grew up there, but moved before starting at school, so I never had any portuguese education.

Well I can understand you somewhat I guess as I lived in Portugal. It's pretty damn hot there too. Though it's not as hot as Brazil, it often drops down to 10ºc in the winter. But in Norway it's completely different. Sometimes it rains ALOT, and honestly it sucks. You don't go outside because you get too soaked, it's horrible. And snow is fine, but I think 2 months is more than enough :p

The perfect year would be if one could have summer for 4 months > instant change to snowy winter for 2 months > Summer 4 months > Snowy winter 2 months. It would be a year full of great variation :)

[thornofcarrion]

What language can you speak fluently? And which one you can write as well?

So, you're from Bergen, then? xD

Nah, I'm from around Oslo :) (Akershus fylke, nær Kolbotn hvis du vet hvor det er? Litt sør for Oslo. Bor for tiden i Kristiansand da). Sorry for that :amuse

I was kinda pointing to the year 2009 in general, which had an awful lot of rain pour down on our country. I really do hate rain!

[blai]

Agrias, how likely is it that you'll make another trip like this next year, or in the end of this year?

[Agrias]

Being that I'll still be paying for the last one until july at least, I don't think I'll be able to travel again for a looooong time, unless I suddenly get rich, get a scholarship or find a job abroad. ;_;
[hr]

What language can you speak fluently? And which one you can write as well?
Portuguese. I thought I spoke english quite ok, but Khal made sure to prove me wrong whenever I opened my mouth. T_T

Write...Portuguese. >.> I thought I wrote in english quite ok, but Khal and ttx and Xophien made sure to prove me wrong when I asked for help. T_T

I was trying to learn German, but dunno if I'll continue. I sucked hard. -_-

[blai]

Ouch, that sounds harsh! :/ But I can imagine it wasn't really cheap going to Europe, and then traveling all around it too... I take it as you can't study in Europe either now? :(:(:(

And I missed you lot in gothenburg too... no excuse is worthy that...

[Agrias]

It was the most expensive thing I've ever done, but it was also the best thing I've done in my life, seriously, worth every cent. I don't even complain when I see the bills coming...at least not much <,<

The study thing is as hard as before, I need monies or a scholarship...I'm working on both possibilities >.> Never give up~


And I missed you lot in gothenburg too... no excuse is worthy that...
I won't ever forgive you T_T CHICKEN!

But then again, the job pays according to your looks and it involves heavy pimp-smacking. :amuse

Agri-chaaan, they played Sun Of Jamaica in the radio just now and I got this weird image of Khal doing the speaking part but with lyrics like dreaming about pink butterflies and sparkles and ponies in the land of the eternal rainbows x_X

Now this terrible image is stuck in my head, so I thought I share it with you >.>

Imagine.... our pink lord.... in place of 'him' -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mZIrnD4kOQ

I'm so glad this didn't load at the office. OMG, damn YOU. Scary ;_;

[Evil3ye]

Enjoyed your trip to Europe? I rememebr seeing some pics on FB or sth, looks actually like you guys had some fun hah.

What do you think is the main difference between (north) Europe and the place you live in. Apart from the culture of course. People/life style/ anything you could figure out that was different from what you were used to?

[thornofcarrion]

Hey Agrias!

How are you? I hope you are enjoying your newe duties. How different you are finding it, I mean Red from Blue?

I had lots of fun, can't wait to go again! Saving money already xD

People are more organized up there, it feels like things work...the trains, for example: they are always on time; when they're late, you know it too, there's info everywhere :3 The stations are cool, everything is tidy..here everything is chaotic xD

We also have this impression that people from europe are more cold and reserved, but I didn't find this at all..Of course they're not as open as we are, but I was treated very well everywhere and everyone was helpful ^^

But the prices.....ugh. Damn euro, I'm so broke now (and I'll still be broke for a looong time ;_;)


Hey Agrias!

How are you? I hope you are enjoying your newe duties. How different you are finding it, I mean Red from Blue?

Till now, nothing much, as I'm still getting to know stuff xD There isn't much difference, actually. :3

[Bugzee]

Favourite drink? Caipirinha? :blink

[3c]

Hey Agrias, how's life treating you lately? Anything exciting happened lately?

Btw, trains being on time is a rather bold statement, especially in Norway. Our trains are late so often in the winter months that it's an eternal joke season about the train company. Every single "fun show" on TV make jokes about our train company and how "they intentionally give our people longer vacations" (because of the heavy waiting) :p

Btw, who's your favorite actors lately?

[Agrias]

Favourite drink? Caipirinha? :blink

CAIPIRINHA FTW! Love it, and all the variations too (with strawberry or passionfruit instead of lemon, with vodka instead of cachaça...xD). But I do also like tequila a lot. :3


Hey Agrias, how's life treating you lately? Anything exciting happened lately?
The carnival is over, so now the year is finally going to start here. Everyone was wishing happy new year on twitter and all >.>

Meh, but it's icey, guess it's expected. xD And still, even with the lateness it must be faaaar better than the buses here >.>



Btw, who's your favorite actors lately?
Neil Patrick Harris, because he's AWESOME.

[3c]

Oh ho, I see! You're following "How I Met Your Mother"? ;)

Can't say I blame you, it's an awesome show. I absolutely loved the episode when he convinced the others that he could get laid as a 80 year old, and got lucky, haha. Best episode EVER.

Yarr, it's icy. But hey, we're few people too. You guys have busy cities, we have "towns" compared to you, so no wonder everything is more chaotic over there, or in every major city in general that inhabbits more than 1 million people. Norway has such a low population number >_>

[thornofcarrion]

Neil Patrick Harris, because he's AWESOME.

Whats your favorite work of NPH? IMHO, Stark Raving Mad and How I Met Your Mother are his best series.

[Bugzee]

Favourite manga atm? :blink

It has so many memorable episodes...I think my favorite is the one with Robin's 80's videoclip though. xD

I dunno, I've only watched Dr. Horrible and HIMYM (blame Hermie for both) with him, and i like both. :3


Favourite manga atm? :blink
I don't think I have a favorite right now...isn't this ridiculous? I'm here, and i'm not reading anything at the moment! The only thing i'm kinda following is Naruto, and can't say I'm liking it. I gave up on Bleach years ago. Started One Piece, stopped by the end of Alabasta, haven't read ever since (but i plan to). Gotta catch up with Bakuman, Nana and Detroit Metal City...besides those, I wasn't reading anything lately >.>

[M3J]

If you read the latest Naruto, what'd you think about the last page?

[Agrias]

I'll comment that later, when we can discuss spoilers openly >.>''

[M3J]

You don't need to reveal anything. :s

[3c]

Epic, nuff' said (seriously).

[SuperSaiyaMan]

What is the reason you think why the threads in the Arena have been getting more heated lately?

[Agrias]

I don't know?
The purpose of that area is to have fun discussing random, impossible stuff - and yet some people prefer to waste their precious time defending random facts, to prove useless points that wouldn't even be of much importance in the story. To make it worse, some of those encounters probably won't ever happen in the manga.
It's totally fictional, but people will discuss it with such intensity that it looks like every argument was a stone thrown against their mothers or something. I don't really get it. Crazy people. Too much free time, i guess...

[Bugzee]

Are you currently working or studying, Agrias? :blink

[Agrias]

Working fulltime, starting a pos-grad course on friday, and trying to do a Master's abroad. :3

[Bugzee]

Oh cool.

What did you study at Uni?
Did you enjoy your time at Uni? :D
Are you enjoying your current FT job? :blink

[Agrias]

What did you study at Uni?
Architecture and Urbanism.


Did you enjoy your time at Uni? :D
Yes and no. I think I didn't, in the end. I don't miss it much, except for the friends. It was hell. xD


Are you enjoying your current FT job? :blink
Yes ^^ I've been an intern here since always, so feels like home. And my bosses are very cool people.

[M3J]

What is urbanism?

Edit: You're thinking about doing architecture for big cities?

[Bugzee]

What is urbanism?

You muppet. Here, educate yourself (http://www.urban-advantage.com/urbanism/urbanism_page-01.html). :p Milly loves wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanism).

[blai]

You studied architecture? Why aren't you a famous architect making millions so you can move to norway instead of studying a lot and hoping for a scholarship?

[Agrias]

Because I suck. ;_________;

[blai]

+1 for honesty :D

[M3J]

Edit: You're thinking about doing architecture for big cities?

T_T

People always abuse and ignore the kid.

[Agrias]

Oh sorry, I didn't notice. =p The kind of "architecture for big cities" i like is urbanism, planning and all; if you're talking about big buildings, I don't like those kind of projects. xD My favorite field is design, actually.

Europe. I'm trying Sweden this year, specifically.

Cheddar Mc Melt, a brazilian McDonalds burger. I also love gnocci, sushi, yakisoba, pizza, and pretty much everything with cheese. Nomnom.


Can we see some of your work?
At work I'm usually designing brands. I won't link my office's website here though. xD

Right now i don't have anything uploaded, so take a look at my graduation project. :p

[M3J]

Other than the coloring of the glass window building thingie on the left, it's pretty good. The guy in front and middle reminds me of that shadow character from the new movie that's coming out in July, I think. Devious You? Something You? I forgot, but there was a trailer of this fat kid falling on a pyramid and people were like "OMFG IT'S FAKE!!111" The guy looks hunchbacked like that.

What kinda brands you design?

[blai]

I sent my application to Gothenburg and Lund Universities now. :F
I'm nervous. And that looks really good actually, have you designed anything yourself after you graduated, or have you worked along with others designes? ;>

Brands for everything! Mostly dentists and restaurants. Really, it's incredible how many dentists are there asking for brands everyday. >.>

Yup, tons of stuff...but mostly in the office, so I'm never doing stuff alone. But I do some soloing here and there.

Did you get my SMS? xD

Many...can't choose one. My graduation project, for all the effort...one restaurant that got pretty big...some children stuff that was fun to make...


Did you get my SMS? xD
Herman, the mystery is solved! xD

[xi0]

Herman, the mystery is solved! xD

I planned on taking the mystery farther, but it didn't seem like it would be too much fun for me....xD

You could have figured it out online if you looked up my phone number. There's only two staff members who could have that area code...and probably only one who would have access to your phone number.

Was this something that created a lot of discussion between you, Herm and others? I guess that was the goal...

[blai]

Lunds Technical Uni? I applied to Gothenburg Uni, Humanities department and to Lunds University, Humanities department to study European Studies - Business. :d
Nice, Architects have a skyhigh salary in Sweden. You'd become rich in no time... if you're good, that is. WHICH YOU ARE OF COURSE ;pPpPpPpP

Oh, and if when you get accepted, can you promise me to vote Green? \o/

[Agrias]

We did reach your city with the code indeed. We were investigating in the morning, but I was puzzled - never thought you'd sms me xD

If I actually have money to move there if I'm accepted, something highly unlikely, why not? xD

Heard the job market for immigrants in Sweden is sucking haaard..:/

[blai]

After the election this autumn it'll change. :> But right now, yes, they're not getting any love from the government, and with the Swedish Democrats now getting more and more acknowledgement, it's unlikely it'll change until the election.

[xi0]

I thought it would be funny. And of the other numbers I had at hand, it seemed a little odd to say goodnight to a guy.

It ended up being both odd and creepy in the end since I had nothing funny to say :sweat

Short Message Service....texting

Except, from what I can see, us in the US are the only ones who use the term "texting"...everyone else, well at least Europeans use SMS. It technically is SMS though.

I know what SMS is. -.- Didn't know you could SMS out of country though.


Didn't know you could SMS out of countries? Errr xD

What you laughing at, 3 millimeters?

Heh, sorry, but it's rather funny though!

[3c]

Wow, I think your project was quite impressive to be honest! It's not the most real looking thing out there, but hey that's not the point either. The point is the illustration and presentation, and it looks neat! I'd love to see your "best" work sometime!

But why Sweden btw? Norway is much better! But I got to admit, neither countries are that job-friendly towards immigrants that don't know the language, sadly.

[Bugzee]

Another revived thread! :D

What other threads are revived? :blink

[Agrias]

Any artists you look up to? That might influence your own work/ideas?
Too broad of a question. My favourite architect are Oscar Niemeyer and Santiago Calatrava, fav artists are Piet Mondrian, Andy Warhol,Roy Lichtenstein, and many others. :3

Thanks ^^
I tried applying to NTNU, they required a bank statement saying that I had a ton of money even before applying. Tried the quota scheme, but I'm not related to their partner universities... :/ I applied to KHiB last year, wasn't accepted. -.- Trying again. xD
[hr]

SMS? O_o

Buuut, can you post your favorite works here? =D
not now, i'd have to upload stuff and the connection is sucking. xD

[M3J]

Upload while you work. lrn2multitask :(

[blai]

Is it hard getting accepted in Norway? I mean, was it beacuse you weren't economically covered, or was it because of grades? Sorry if I'm asking, I'm just curious ;>

[Agrias]

I only tried once to KHiB, so no idea. They analyzed my portfolio, and now looking at it one year later, I must admit it sucked. So I guess that was the reason, even though they didn't say exactly why I wasn't accepted. xD

They also didn't have many places, so I wasn't optmistic since the start. -_-'

[3c]

NTNU is the most hardcore school in Norway, so it's no shame not getting in there really. I think the only school that can compete in terms of grade requirement would be NHH (economics school). I am curious about your mentioning of NTNU requiring a bank statement that says you have lots of money though, what's up with that? It's not a private school so could you possibly have misunderstood the requirement regarding the money requirement? I could have possibly misinterpreted your post though, but it sounded like they needed you to pay up. As for your question Blai; It's hard to get a spot in architecture studies in Norway, very hard. I tried myself but failed because of lack of grades, sadly. Because design and architecture is really what I like most and have most "talent" in. Other than that engineering is pretty hardcore, and economics comes behind those two more or less (out of the "popular" choices).

[Agrias]

They ask foreigners to proof that they have money to keep living there without a job, not actually for the school....and it's a LOT of money for brazilian standards. ;_;

[blai]

Arent there any uni exam in Norway? We have "högskoleprovet" and if you get a good result there, you only need to pass your subjects in high school because they accept you based on that exam :d That's what I'm planning on doing :d

[Agrias]

Not for the master level, they analyze the grades and portfolio...but i dont remember seeing Herm take an exam either ._.

[Hermie]

Yeah, they just based it on your grade average from High School here.

[3c]

Oh I see. Yeah that sucks... Especially because Norway is among the world's most expensive countries, if not the most expensive country, so naturally it's pretty expensive over here. Is there no way for you to get some support from Brazil in some way? Or perhaps those support amounts are only given for exchange-periods and/or cooperation between the universities. It's really crap that big amounts of money should end up being the wall that hinders people from studying in my opinion.

[Bugzee]

LSE have a good relationship with NTNU from what I've seen when I went to their inductions and interviews. It pains me to say this but they actually accepted me but I declined.

[3c]

There are schools that don't give a shit about grades though, and that accept you solely based on acceptance-tests. A few years ago I checked out an architecture school in Oslo that follows that system, but the test was really hard so I didn't even attempt it in the end. Then again, it's not in Trondheim, where Hermie studies ;\ My memory might fail me, but I'm pretty sure that school only judged you based on the test, which was a test with two major tasks.

[Agrias]

It's really crap that big amounts of money should end up being the wall that hinders people from studying in my opinion.

What makes me angry is that NTNU doesn't let you even *try* to get a spot in the quota scheme (the financial support for foreigners) if you're not a member of the partner schools. -_- My grades are not bad, I feel I'd have a chance. :/

I tried asking my parents to back me up with the money, then going there and trying to get a job to cover up...this plan works for Sweden, but not for NTNU, that asks for the statement before applying. It's a lot more difficult to convince your parents to lend you money if you're not even approved yet (the money has to be in your personal account, not in someone else's).

And I'm scared of trying this for Sweden, as odds say that i won't get a job there. -__-

[blai]

there are tons of jobs that you can take in sweden, but they aren't all pretty and glamorous.

[3c]

Is it a problem having the money in your account though? Can't you simply transfer it back if you don't get accepted? It's not like you'll run away with the money xD It's certainly a shame if you have the grades to back you up aswell as the ambition, but lack the money to go through with it.

@Blai: Same goes for Norway.

[Bugzee]

^ All the Uni cares (primarily) about is being guaranteed payment. That's why they need proof from your actual bank account; so they're satisfied. Plus, you need to reassure them that you are financially able/comfortable during your stay in another country to sudy. Something like that anyway.

[blai]

Unis are free in Sweden hoo-ray! They only care if you have money enough to make a living when youre a transfer student

Convincing them to lend me the money is the problem xD If I were accepted 1st, maybe that would mellow their hearts? xD

I know the jobs aren't the best, but I was reading tons about it and it seems even the worst jobs are now difficult to find ._.

Oh I see. Yeah I guess that would be more mellowing indeed! I got no idea if you parents are rich or not though, and how big the amount would need to be. If it wouldn't hurt them then just "lending" you the money wouldn't hurt that much as you would give it back if you would be declines xD It's probably easy for me to say though as I know absolutely nothing about those issues.

Costs like 800kr($120+) per semester in Norway. So it's not that costly compared to other countries really. Of course books add up.

We're not rich nor poor...comfortable, but more poor than rich indeed. xD It's a ton of money, and it scares me a bit to think "wow, what if i end up without a job and can't pay them back?" >.<

Not if the opposition wins the election, which we will :>

[Agrias]

The law was approved already, it was even announced everywhere...unless you guys can revert that, dunno how it works over there. There are gonna be tuition fees, but they'll offer more scholarships. No one knows how many and what they'll cover though...a scholarship that covers only the tuition fees is good as nothing in my case >.>

Sweden used to offer scholarships for Brazil, they've cut them this year. ;_;

[blai]

we can anull or revert that in a year I think. Won't help you much tho ;/
