recent events

my lack of commitment with this blog is drastic..i have to admit..i've been very lazy and rarely remember that i started this to keep my friends and family informed! my sincere apologies!
and because " para o meu tio paulo é o que ele quiser" i will update some posts and pics.

last few months have been what i usually call standard..work has been going alright i guess..i started my experimental procedures for the first part of my studies that is basically getting mris. After some enquiries i got a good deal with a clinic in the Gold Coast..the advantage of this clinic is basically their 3T machine (some information for my nerdy friends) and it is the best machine in Australia at the moment...the radiologist iam working with is very interested in research and has been a precious help...
regarding work..there is slight possibility of me visiting Stanford University and Auckland University in a near future...it would be awesome not just to do a little travel but to start having some contacts in the biomechanics world

surf has been good! last month there was a period of about 3 weeks with very good waves for a beginner like me! one morning i went to the beach before work..i cant explain what happened properly! it is too good to be put in words..something like..warm water ( although it is already winter)..glassy ocean..very clean waves coming right at me..nobody there to get in my waves..just me and the ocean with a great view over the trees and the city in the back ground! just a regular tuesday morning in australia..and now that i have a mobile with a decent camera there is no excuse not to share pictures with all of you

after my birthday my family and some friends sent me a very special present! thank you all! it was very special!
