Jogando Bola Com a Sissi
[tweetmeme source=”Marcio_saito” only_single=false] O Graham é um Inglês que trabalha comigo aqui na California. Nós dividimos uma sala. Ele anda estranho, mais quieto que o normal, incomodado.

You have rehearsed it, you know the subject, and the PowerPoint slides are polished, colorful and have no more than 7 words per bullet. Your delivery is impeccable. The audience is mesmerized. You rock. You are hot!Continue reading “Are You Hot or What?”
A Filha do Radoslaw
[tweetmeme source=”Marcio_saito” only_single=false] Ontem, encontrei um amigo que não via a algum tempo. Embora não seja importante para essa história, o nome dele é Radoslaw Szambelan. Sem brincadeira. Ele é polonês e eu o chamo de Radek. Fiz uma pesquisa e parece que Szambelan é um nome comum na Polônia. Tem até uma Vodka famosaContinue reading “A Filha do Radoslaw”
