Yesterday night I went to a 'do' in the Britto Gallery in South Beach. The invitation was quite pretentious: enjoy a once in a lifetime collaboration of Romero Britto and author Paulo Coelho introducing the art work of Brazilian painter Christina Oiticia. Aha, I thought! As is often the case reality... Sign in to see full entry.

If you are interested, you can read them on http://www.brighthub.com/, just search for lilypond (my pen name) and there they are.

Is it wrong to be cheerful?
Not even a week has passed since the terror attacks in Mumbai and here I sit in the safety and comfort of my home, writing articles about art and culture and interesting places to visit in Glamour Central. Isn't that frivolous? Shouldn't I be out there somewhere (where?) do something (what?) use to... Sign in to see full entry.

Lazy days are over
As was to be expected, my R & R didn't last very long. The pull of writing got the better of lazing around and I started to plan my next articles. I decided to do a few about the more unknown places in downtown Miami. Number 1 on the list is a restaurant by the name of Tobacco Road, which is a place... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't feel ready yet to contact anybody and be distracted, I just quietly enjoy my little condo and all the luxuries which are no luxaries at all to anybody who has them every day. One of...

The best beauty treatment is...
CREATIVITY!! It keeps you young and flexible and absolutely wrinkle-free. Best of all, it doesn't cost a penny and never ever gets boring. Sorry about the brevity, but it was just a last minute thought. The taxi is coming to take me to the airport and God willing, the plane not crashing and Miami... Sign in to see full entry.

One door closes, another opens!
My brigthub run seems to have come to an end. They don't DO culture anymore. On the other hand, ariala has provided me with promising links to travel sites and I have alrady submitted posts there. See what happens. The philospohy behind all this is: don't mope and moan if something good comes to an... Sign in to see full entry.
Remember that poem?
So, it's home again and home again, America for me, my heart is turning home again and there I long to be, in the land of youth ad freedom beyond the ocean bars, where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars. Beautiful, isn't it? I apologize for any inaccuracy, but I quoted by... Sign in to see full entry.

Not made for the jungle!
I know I'll probably bore you to tears, but I also know my blogit friends wil forgive me. But...two full days without water and electricity are just doing me in. I'm running on battery here, so I better hurry up. It looks like I will return to the States with smelly feet, greasy hair and dirty... Sign in to see full entry.
