Hi, I'm Fernando Souza. A Bittersweet Life is my personal website, a place where I keep my own blog in which I write mainly about useless facts about my pathetic life. Nothing very interesting, really!

Wow! It took me exactly one week, but I managed to deliver the new design as promised! I’m really happy with the final result and I hope you like it too. I’ve chosen to use a theme called Thesis Theme, which is now in its version 1.6. I chose it because it gives you the [...]

Shame on me

January 19, 2010

Exactly, shame on me! It’s January, 19th and it’s been more than 2 months since my last post! And I haven’t even finished my Manaus diary! You know what, I won’t finish it! I don’t think I did more exciting things than the ones I mentioned below. One thing worth mention is the fact that [...]

Google Wave

November 13, 2009

I’ve just got an invitation from google to start using Google Wave. Didn’t think twice to accept it but to be honest with you I have no idea what google wave actually is. Well, I’ve seen the tutorial videos and everything but I still don’t understand how and why people will use it. And if [...]

Manaus – Day 3

November 13, 2009

Sorry for taking more than a week to write about day 3 of my trip. I’ve been really lazy and I know this is not a an excuse for that. Day 3 was probably the most amazing day of the trip. Amazing because it was not an ordinary day, it was a day in which [...]

Manaus – Day 2

November 1, 2009

We woke up extremely early (thanks to the time zone) and so we went to have breakfast at the hotel. Gotta love hotel breakfasts! And this one is amazing, I ate like a pig! (just one quick note: the guarana juice is great!) After breakfast we decided to go downtown, the old part of the [...]

Manaus – Day 1

October 31, 2009

I woke up at 4:30 AM, left home at 5 and my flight took off at 6:45 AM. It was a 1h50min flight to Brasília, capital of Brasil, where I would meet my father, his wife and my little brothers. I had never been to Brasilia before and I still haven’t. I can’t consider knowing [...]

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts

October 18, 2009

Yesterday morning I checked my mailbox and I saw a special Sedex (brazilian kind of Fedex) package. At that time I thought: “Hmm… has my credit card expired yet?” and then “Oh, the bank is sending me a new checkbook…”. But for my surprise it was neither of them. It was an American Express Gold [...]

The gay friend

October 6, 2009

In the past few months I have lost contact with my old friends. Not because we have decided not to be friends any more, but because of our lives. I’ve been busy working hard, and so are they (or at least I think so). Our days off don’t match and on my day offs I [...]

Miles apart

August 23, 2009

Have I seen any long distance relationship that worked? No, I haven’t. Yes, I have. But it didn’t last long enough. But then what is long enough for me? and what is it for you? Do I believe in long distance relationships? Yes, of course! But then I’m just a silly naive romantic guy, maybe one [...]

How to use Apple Mail with Gmail

August 18, 2009

It’s been ages since I last used a mail client. To tell you the truth I don’t even remember the last time I did. I have a vague idea of having used Eudora centuries ago and then using Outlook for a while and giving up because it was too complicated and somehow yahoo webmail seemed [...]
