It was Valentine's Day here in .br on June 12th. Since Érica is still living in São Paulo, we're going to meet only on my birthday, at my mother's house, on June 22nd. It gave us some time to buy gifts.

She bought me some shirts and I went yesterday and today after something for her. The key question is: why the @$%#@!#$""&% do the shopping centers and malls only have clothes? All other gifts were house gifts. I don't know how her apartment will look like, yet, to buy something for her.

Yesterday we --- my brother also had to buy something for his girl --- walked 5 hours after something interesting. He was willing to buy some clothes to her. I told him that buying clothes for a woman when she's not near is a big mistake. Fortunately, he heard me.

This morning we went to a hippie fair. It happens every sunday here and there are always interesting things. We decided to make our own gifts. We bought boxes, wood boxes. Then, I bought some flowers --- artificial, made of silk ---, and put tuem inside the box. Later, I bought a little doll. A porcelain doll. And then, I bought some cloth to put between the box and the other gifts. Of course, there's also the beautiful card, where I'm going to write something and the poem I'll write.

I hope she likes it. It was fun buying all this. It was fun walking 7 hours and thinking how much easier it would be if she was with me... :-)
