ki
a new collection of DREAM CREAM CUPCAKES is now available at http://pokkuru.elo7.com br :)
venham me visitar!
vai ter muuuuitos doces 0 calorias! :)
ultimamente temos muito trabalho aqui na pokkuru:
- não param de sair de forno os bolos, tortas, cupcakes
chocolates
chantilly
e todos tipos de doces imaginaveis (e mini moranguinhos!)
- trabalho de escritorio não quer e não quer diminuir a sua duração dura (khh)
- estamos mudando logo, design e layouts de todos os tipos (aos poucos porém)
- chegou inverno duro brasileiro (os poloneses morrem de rir ;)) e precisamos fazer luvas, toucas, cachecois e blusas! (mas especialmente luvas e especialmente para mão direita, que fica com muito frio de tanto guiar o mouse :/)
- queremos expandir o negocio e fazer doces cosméticos 100% naturais (ou cade os recursos para investir...)
então resta muito pouco tempo para escrever qualquer coisa aqui. que escrever, até pra pensar é dificil achar tempo! ;P
just a sunday afternoon walk in a park.
a treat for myself.
and i was all alone. didnt meet anybody.
i almost could hear the silence.
and i saw lots of precious things:
a fallen palm tree leaf
an elephant tree
huge spiders on their huge spider webs
an araucaria
i made this skirt quite some time ago from the fernando maluhy fabric i bought quite some time ago as well , but only now i managed to take any decent picture. it was a saturday full of pictures, i`m still editing them ;)
speaking of sewing... i rediscovered the evil, time consuming, "go buy lots of fabrics and get down to your sewing machine right now" website a.k.a burdastyle, where there are too many gifted girls who definitely make too many beautiful clothes. definitely worth checking out, if not for a pattern, at least for inspiration.
likewise, here the autumn is coming closer and closer each day, which means that i`ll spend few moneys here - i wanna go there badly, all the other places i know only have these ugly synthetic wool... and few hours here, looking for patterns and new ideas.
oh, and speaking of fashion... or rather lack of it, which is exactly where i live, the fashion / aesthetic hell, i came across of three girls that do on their blog exactly the same that i do everyday, walking the streets of this city. they complain. they point out the hellish lack of any basic notion of any basic rules of aesthetics. and the best of all, they TAKE PICTURES! :)
***
falando de moda, ou melhor, a falta dela, o inferno de falta de estilo, noção e diversidade, eis onde eu vim morar... descobri recentemente tres meninas que no seu blog SEJA BASICA fazem exatamente a mesma coisa que eu todos os dias, quendo percorro ruas dessa cidade: reclamam. elas apontam a falta de qualquer noção básica de qualquer das regras básicas de esté tica. moda. estilo. bom gosto. mas o melhor de tudo é que elas TIRAM FOTOS! :) e apesar de eu achar ser básica muito chato, gostei muito do blog!
que bueno!
so here we are again, my third easter in brasil, each year the celebration getting poorer. but the thing is... it just doesn`t make much sense far away from home... :/
this year i just made a traditional polish easter cake = mazurek. x3 cause it`s really delicious and you can only make it once a year :)
so... happy easter everyone!
feliz pascoa!
wesolych swiat!
Hoje, enquanto estava desaparecendo no calor da sauna, tive uma ideia. Pensamentos vagando pra frente e pra tras, comecei pensar em coisas mais deliciosas do meu mundo. Compartilho com vocês, porque são sensações tão boas. Por que são esses momentos que nós tiram da rotina que nós fazem se sentir vivos. Estou curiosa quais podem ser as suas...
* * *
Eu os desafio: lembrem-se de sensações mais deliciosas do mundo. 6 coisas mais sensuais. Que os fazem se sentir vivos. Que envolvem todos os sentidos. 6 coisas mais sensuais, sem serem sexuais. Sem serem sobre amor. Sem serem romanticas. Só 6. gosto, cheiro, tato, som, imagem. E sexta, a alma.
Aqui são as minhas 6 coisas mais sensuais que eu conheço:
1. Entrar numa banheira cheia de agua tão quente, que dá arrepio e as sensações de frio e calor por um momento se confundem
2. Tomar banho quentíssimo de manhã cedinho, daquela manhã que é quase madrugada, ainda meio dormindo, com janela do banheiro aberta e ar bem fresco entrando.
3. Uma noite quente de verão, quieta, silenciosa, com aroma de férias, quando acordam os sonhos, de viagens, de amores, verdadeiros, imaginários, impossíveis, de união, é qunado acorda a alma.
4. Um banho a noite na lagoa, nadar pelado numa agua mais quente que o ar, acariciando o corpo, e cheiros de mata, de mato, e a escuridade total, escura a agua, a terra, o ceú e eu, eu – ceú, eu – a terra, eu – a agua, o meu eu me derretendo na escuridão. E colocar o moletom macio e meias quentes depois e caminhar para casa. Sozinho, únido, íntegro. Afinal.
5. Uma sessão de bania, a sauna típica do nordeste da polonia, da russia, que é uma casinha de madeira na beira de uma lagoa ou rio, se anihilar dentro no calor insuportavel, que queima as narinas, com cheiro de madeira quente e fumaça, sem se preocupar com biquinis e regras públicas de tal chamado pudor, e depois dar um pulo na agua, agua viva, nenhum chuveiro, e nadar sob o ceú escuro, acompanhado por grilos e sapos. E estar tão relaxado que o mundo de homem desaparece, só resta O MUNDO e uma boa noite de sono profundo.
6. Deitar na primeira grama verde sob primeiro sol de primaveira, no primeiro dia realmente quente, absorver a energia da luz e sentir eu e o mundo acordar para uma vida nova e maravilhosa, renovada cada ano.
Palavras-chave: água, noite, pelado ;P

ps. i do hope to manage to translate this into english tomorrow :)
so today i discovered what really is pokkuru.
it`s kinda strange all the name story. one day, 2 years ago or something, i just woke up with the name in my head, a name thet i dreamed that night and that told me absolutely nothing: pokkle. checked on google, nothing. thought a while, the name sounded kinda cute japanese way. so i tried japanized pronunciation: pokkuru. appeared some game character. ok, i thought, whatever. but i liked the name and i stayed with it.
today i was checking sth about my blog on google and i found wiki article. so the pokkuru really exists, and it`s not only some stupid game name!
in fact, they were called koropokkuru and were a tribe of little people from ainu mythology. i can`t seem to find much more info than just this now, and my ass is already hurting of sitting so much in front of pc ;P
koro means butterbur plant, and so koropokkuru are people that live under the leaves of this plant. the ainu myth says that they were little people who inhabited that land even before ainu. they were of very small posture and they didn`t like to be seen. kinda antisocial, like me ;) but they loved to give presents, food and ceramic, for unlike ainu they were very skilled ceramic crafters. but one day one audacious young ainu man made a trap in a place where koropokkuru usually left the gifts for ainu and captured a little koropokkuru girl. since then, nobody ever seen one koropokkuru.
other versions say that they weren`t a tribe, they were some kind of fairies, or even spirits. even seems that there are some mentions in classic japanese literature of some tiny footprints and other small artifacts found. so who knows, maybe koropokkuru really existed? :)
they also say that koropokkuru were very friendly, peaceful, nature-loving people. and loved playing tricks on others ;)
issun, a koropokkuru from Ōkami game
anyways, looks like the myth of koropokkuru lived through the ages and entered our global popculture. they are in some way present in lots of videogames, like dungeons & dragons: oriental adventures, or this Ōkami game that i found out about today. it`s graphics is so beautiful that i would play it, just for the pure aesthetical experience, despite my general despite for videogames. and anime also, and ask me if i`m already not downloading one called shaman king :)
btw, anybody`s seen it? is it good?
so, i`m thinking... maybe i`ll change my name? koropokkuru would be too obvious, but kuropokkuru seems nice, kuro for black in japanese, and kuro for the first part of my new surname. sweet?
btw2, i finally started my so dreamed japanese lessons, should do my homework in fact ;) it`s been like 2 years that i`ve been dreaming to take a course, so i wonder... why the hell am i not more enthusiastic about it???!!
and in fact, i cry
it awakens something from the old free times, buried deeply, long forgotten in daily merry-go-round activities called "real life"
something that i guess is from those times, but maybe it´s just some core of me
hope it is
core lays deep
maybe that´s why i feel like i lost connection with it
feel like it´s just some sentiment, just sentimental vague memories of my teen years, full of deep and romantic visions of what life is
what life is not i think now, i grown up, swimming on the surface of reality
hope that maybe life is it, at least a little
magic
erotic
moving to the deepest
real, to the guts
alive
*feel like a robot. wanna go back home. wanna explode. burst. wanna stop being reasonable. wanna go back to the point where there were no compromises and no consequences. just pure anger. force that destroys. yeah, today is the days, one of many, those last days, that i just wanna open myself up and let my inner punk loose. enough.
**and now, excuse me, gotta "real life" work to do. yeah. "real life" is here, looking down on me waiting like that lady in black hooded gown. and it feels similar, also...
well, was a pleasure to go deeper inside me, even if only in words. but words are worlds, right.
roubei um tempinho entre resolver uma coisa chata de ser estrangeiro no brasil [carimbo na carteira de trabalho no ministerio de trabalho] e outra coisa mais chata ainda de ser estrangeiro no brasil [papelada e discussões interminaveis e inviaveis na policia federal] para ir na 25. faz tanto tempo que não ia lá...
aproveitei para ir no fernando maluhy, que essa pô%&#$%$&&¨%* só abre na semana...
o, os tecidos que eu comprei pra fazer umas saias bem legais, um artigo em deficito em todo território nacional ;)
o chiclete maluco, não consigo parar de olhar ;P
e as nuvens verdes, para uma bem franzida
vai seguir um longo e completo relatório de aventuras de uma estrangeira no brasil. é incrivel.
ok, desapareci, não tem como negar. mas agora estou de volta, como um filho pródigo, e como ele, esperando que nem tudo é perdido e que vocês vão me perdoar...
é que esse ano começou muito bem, com muito trabalho. nem deu tempo mais de ficar updated... alias, nem deu tempo para ficar online além do trabalho. eu trabalho com SEO, dia inteiro na frente de computador, nem dá vontade de ligar meu novo bonito coloridinho dell quando volto pra casa ;)
agora deu uma parada, especialmente no projeto "aulas de inglês". por essas e outras razões, alguns dos meus alunos deram um pause no curso. bueno, pelo menos ganhei um tempo a mais para ficar aqui com vocês! :)
[e arrumar algumas coisas aqui nesse blog que já ta gritando por isso faz muuuuito tempo!]
quem me trouxe um pouco de volta ao mundo de crafters online - e por extensão também de bloggers - é a Camila. Alleluja pra ela! :*
faz um bom tempão que a gente tava preparando uma troca de maravilhas, e enquanto mais a gente enrolava e demorava para se encontrar, a troca crescia mais e mais. especialmente do lado dela. é uma menina com coração muito bonito e mãos muito talentosas! obrigada por tudo, menina e gostaria muito manter essa nossa amizade!
ah, palavras são muito boas, portugues é uma lingua que permite as palavras boas, positivas, apreciativas fluirem sem bloqueios. eu sei o que eu estou falando, eu já sou meio asocial, e minha propria lingua materna fraterna paterna polonesa bloqueia com muita eficiencia essas emoções entusiasticas sem-vergonha brasileiras! ;)
só sei que nunca ia conseguir falar isso com tanta leveza e facilidade em polonês, viu, Cami! ;)
agora olhem o que essa menina de mãos mágicas e muito tempo livre fez para mim!
os colares de trapilho em vários tons e espessuras, que eu absolutely adorei:
e a linda bolsa em trapilho com flores gordas, e ainda a flor de cabelo, e ainda esse trabalhinho verde de presente :)
my favourite baby :)
really long, light, cool.
one of those which look so much better on you than on the photo.
but, did you like the idea of a flower?
alias, i know, these photos are not that good as i would like,
but since i work full time, i really don´t have time to dance with them, try over and over again. i´d like to, but well... instead i made two tshirts yesterday with the new fabric markers i got: one patterned and one with a sleepy cute drawing. and well, i guess i liked it waaaaaay too much, i couldn´t stop and i´m already thinking what else will i paint. niahahahah ;)
maybe tonight i shoot and show them, who knows :)
i´m growing up a little :)
this is the first set of more grownup biju, and the first testdrive of my new lightbox. built it this weekend, with my babe´s help, and i´m very happy with it :)
spent like three hours on saturday taking photos, finally, cause the things were waiting there for me for too long already, and when i uploaded them on the computer, i discovered that i took all of them on vga mode... and, that the light, that seemed ok on the camera´s lcd, should be definitely much stronger.
so everything got pink and awfull quality.
the only good thing was a composition, and only beacuse of this - and lost time... - that they´re here and not in the trash bin. but needed good photoshopping...
what do you think? is the effect ok?
cause concerning photos, i guess, i´m always too critical...
after a long and delicious process of creating
and a long and tiring process of organizing
terra brasil natural jewelry is finally on air!
we, me and my sis, during her stay here in brasil, made - or, let's be honest, found and bought, which wasn't a bit less complicated than doing it by ourselves - collars, bracelets and earrings of seeds and wood of brasilian tropical plants, as well as of coconut shell and sweet little coconuts called dicuri.
the seed we most used, the little round one, is called açai, and is a seed of one fruit, commonly and widely eaten here in a form of a frozen pulp [açai na tigela], some kind sorbet ice-cream, which, as my sister stated, tastes like banana with blueberry. so, most of the brasileiros never ever seen the fruit itself and have no idea how does it look like ;)
there are also earrings made of feathers of colorful amazonian birds or beautiful golden grass called capim dourado.
we also have those stunning earrings made of scales of a huge amazonian fish called pirarucu.
anyways, feel free to see with your own eyes
everything is now in poland, and available for whoever wants to feel a little bit of the biggest rainforest on earth on their neck. or ears. or somewhere near.
something really nice is that all those seed have their own very special smell :)
[contact with me or terrabrasilpolska@yahoo.com]
so, how do you like them? :)
as i promissed. a preview of the new bijus from the line terra brasil!
everything natural. everything pure from brasilian forests.
soon, the advertisment and invitation :)
nowa bizuteria z linii terra brasil!
mala zajawka, a wkrotce zaproszenie i link.
enjoy!
no photos today.
no new things.
no budget at all.
yes, i got about a zillion ideas. and no way to realize them.
yes, it looks like my wallet that month and next month has some secret affair with "the world crisis".
yes, i hate it. i feel so nonsense.
no happy happy mood brasileiro.
no sun today.
yes, i continue to miss europe. started last week. and didn't go away.
guess it's a first time it's that heavy on me like a cloud that might start dropping tears any moment.
first time in... yes, 10 months. already.
yes, i think i just realized that here probably i´ll never be able to live the life i wanna live.
seems like it´s more like an incubator for me. brasil. to grow up. and learn how to light a little inner sun to be kinda independent from the big one. or rather lack of it, thinking of poland ;P
hard times have come on me... :/
really ugly ones.
i would really like to hope that they will create something beautiful inside me, but....
i got tagged.
by Zoricina whose work i absolutely love :)
so the rules say...
1. Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a com
ment on their blog
...that now i should share 7 facts about me and tag more 7 people.
lemme see if i manage to find some interesting facts this hour in the morning...
1. my biggest dream is to speak, or at least understand all the languages of the world. or at least japanese, spanish, french, korean, russian, cestina, hindi, italian and some others.
2. i´m polish but i live in são paulo, brasil, or in other words, the city of satan. and i still didn't get used, and i still miss my good old europe. i started to do thingy crafty things here, cause this city is so so so ugly that i had to make my life at least a little bit more beautiful.
3. i used to read quite fluently latin but now i forgot a lot. but i still love the perfect harmony of it.
4. i love maps :) my father is a cartographist/geologist and i used to draw maps instead of happy sun sky trees and houses when i was really little.
5. couldn't live without books. what drives me crazy, cause here nobody reads nothing. nothing.
6. for nobody could say that i'm not really polish (cause we love to complain ;P) one negative: i can´t stand pompatic people. or anything and anybody that tries to look better than they are.
7. i think that white people are the ugliest of all. if i could, i would choose some other colour ;)
hope that this serves :)
so i´m tagging:

in the purest pokkuru style, enjoy :)

verão voltou!
e eu estou com minha cabeça viajando, para praias distantes, bonitas, desertas, com cheiro do mar azul no meu nariz. mais ainda que lembrei da nossa lua de mel em rio grande do norte, já que semana passada saiu no maior jornal da polônia minha primeira materia ever! um artigo gordinho sobre natal, com fotos e capa, e tudo! uhuuu!
dá para ver (mas provavelmente só ver ;P) aqui:

the summer seems to be back!
and i´m with my mind far away from this hellish city, on far away beaches, gorgeus, deserted, with a smell of a blue blue sea in my mind´s nose. recently i remembered the tropical heat of our honeymoon in northeast of brasil. last week i got my first article ever published in the biggest polish newspaper, a fat one about the state of rio grande do norte, with photos and everything :) proud of myself!

wygląda na to, że lato wróciło!
ja mam juz w głowie dalekie piękne puste plaże, dalekie od miasta szatana, i w nosie zapach niebieskiego morza... o parnych tropikalnych plażach na których hulaliśmy podczas naszej podrózy poślubnej przypomniał mi ostatnio jeszcze bardziej mój pierwszy najpierwszejszy artykuł w gazecie, huhu! grubaśny, z obrazkami i okładką, jestem z się dumna :)

i came back!
with a very dear necklace of berries, a little bit late, but finally here it is, blueberry sweet for ya!
torbaborba gordinha, bonita :), upload feito originalmente por ki..
recentemente sumi um pouco com as bijus, eu sei... o blog tá parado...
tudo por causa do inverno congelante e tambem por culpa da fada flor. uma vez fui ver o blog dela e me apaixonei tanto por bolsas dela, especialmente por uma delas, que resolvi relembrar fazer tricô. já que eu não sei nem imagino saber fazer crochê...
e assim as bijus perderam um pouco á lã ;)
a torbaborba não ficou tão bonita e bem acabado como a da fada flor, mas, bem... fazendo e aprendendo, ne? ;)
mas tem outras novidades: como é possible que eu só estou escrevendo em portugues, que nem é a minha lingua, nem a lingua mais falada da internet... agora vou fazer um blog trilingue ;P
*
it´s not really possible to understand why the hell should i write here only im portguese, if it´s not my mother tongue, not even the first foreign language that i learned, not the one that all my friends understand, not the common language of the internet.
hence: starts here my trilingual blog! welcome!
i disappeared recently, i know... no new biju coming... no new posts...
everything is fada flor´s fault. once, i went to see her blog and fell in love with her bags, especially one of them. i liked it so much that i decided to remind myself the art of knitting. the art of which until now i only new the basics... ;) so i totally sunk into it, even more as it´s freezing cold inside & out.
my torbaborba didn´t get as cute and well done as fada´s, but it´s just a beggining, isnt´t it? :)
*
bunt! nowosc!
dlaczego wlasciwie mialabym pisac tego bloga tylko po portugalsku, i ani slowka po polsku, ani w zadnym innym ludzkim jezyku, ktory normalni ludzie mogliby zrozumiec? ;)
no to teraz zaczynam, wedle mozliwosci, trojjezycznosc :)
cos ostatnio moje biju troche znikly z pola widzenia, a to wszystko z winy fada flor, na ktorej blogu pewnego razu postalo moje oko i zakochalam sie w jej torbach, a szczegolnie w jednej z nich. i skoro nie mam pojecia jak sie robi na szydelku, postanowilam przynajmniej przypomniec sobie jak sie robi na drutach. i nauczyc sie czegos wiecej niz oczko lewe prawe lewe szalik.
i sa pewne rezultaty ;)
nie tak piekne jak pani flor co prawda, ale od czegos trzeba zaczac :)
