Fantastic 4... Reloaded
First of all, happy new year for those who still read this blog! (Anyone...?) May 2007 bring happiness, fulfillments and all those adjectived nouns.
But I'll start the year talking about things of the previous one.
Well, Christmas Eve and Christmas itself were spent with family and relatives. You know, dinner, amigo secreto (or Secret Santa, but with some changes), meeting people you haven't met for a while... Good time indeed, and something that I have to admit I missed when I was in Japan (well... only while I could stop to think about that. I've spent Christmas with other Brazilian exchange students in Nikko, so I also had lots of fun). But I'd bore other people if I started describing the events.
Another interesting thing that happened was that, while sending Christmas messages to friends, one that I've not met for years, Leon, said that he was around. And, for my surprise, the other friend (Fernando) who lives in another town was also nearby.
Some background: during junior high (more a less), I started training judo. And some years (I guess) after, I got along with other three people who also practiced judo at the same dojo and liked video games. So, whenever possivle, the four of us tried to get together at someone's house to play and enjoy. But getting the four together was a rare occasion. There's even one time when finally the four got toghether... and then a blackout happened...
Ok, but after some of the group started getting into university we never managed to join all four again.
So, after some phone calls, we finally set another reunion... after about five years. Although it was basically a lunch and chat in a mall, it was good to revive old times... especially at the arcade corner.
But, since the blackout episode, we say that when the four get together, something goes wrong. This time could be no different. We asked someone nearby to take a picture of us (hey, that's a memorable occasion!), but it's a little... well...
