My 3rd car accident

I was going to a barbecue in the countryside with four, out of my six brothers and sisters.


Since my 1st and 2nd car accident little fright, I got some few lessons from my older brother and had enough self-confidence to ask him to take the wheel myself.

It was a perfect clear day, in a deserted and dusty countryside road, and it seemed like a perfect opportunity for me to practice my driving skills.

Cooking like mom


Lately I realized, looking inside my kitchen cupboard, how I am so much like my mother.

I used to be very critical with the way my mother’s storage system was a big mess. Many half empty seasoning sachets and packets, weird Japanese dried stuff here and there, peculiar colored liquids in bottles opened long time ago and lots and lots of expired spices…

Well, at least I can say that I’m cooking just like her.... apart from the food, of course

Showgirl poster

Showgirl Miss E.

I have a niece who is going to celebrate her Bat Mitzvah this weekend. How a Brazilian Nikkei, who lives in Barcelona, has a Jewish niece, is a story I hope to tell in the future…

I decided to make her this poster, since she loves to perform, and has this comedian showgirl character, which makes being with her a great fun.
