I'm delighted to have been nominated by Danielle (Filmes, Filmes, Filmes) for the award. Thank you so much for your kindness, my dear. It's an honor.
While it would be nice to see the people I've tagged replying to the nomination, I don't want you to feel obliged to do it. Hopefully you'll be as grateful as I am. Now, here's what one must do to receive it:
1. Thank the one who gave it to you.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about you that people think are interesting.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
1. My intention when I first created the blog was to translate my favorite excerpts from Julie's Memoir, knowing that not many people have had the opportunity and the joy to read it. Well, so much for that... In all honesty, not in my wildest dreams I would have thought I would astray from what I had envisioned to wind up talking mostly about cinema.
2. The first movie that I have watched with original sound (i.e. with subtitles), of my recollection, was The First Wives Club (O Clube das Desquitadas), starring Bette Middler, Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton and Maggie Smith. I was five, maybe six years old at the time. To this day, it still remains as one of my favorite movies.
3. I've learned how to speak English by being an autodidact at the age of twelve. High School gave me the basics for one to be able to try to communicate. Thankfully my increasing interest in (pop) music at the time, as well as for the TV Sitcom Friends awakened in me a will to improve it. At the age of thirteen I took a leveling test at ICBEU and it was required of me to study the language for a year in order to be given the certificate.
4. I watched my beloved The Sound of Music for the first time back in October, 2008. My parents and I were shopping for my sister's birthday present when my father found the 40th Anniversary DVD Edition and insisted on buying it for me. I can't fathom how life would have turned out if I hadn't watched it then. For that, I am eternally grateful to my Dad.
5. The person responsible for awakening in me a passion for the seventh art is a dear friend of mine called Camila, owner of Divagações Kaufmanianas, whom I refer to as the Carol (Burnett) to my Julie (Andrews). My chum and soulmate.
6. I can sing, dance, act, draw, paint, photograph but I wouldn't count on my sports abilities if my life depended on it. I fail completely at it. The only thing I was reasonably good at was swimming. I trained it for less than six months. My coach wanted me to compete for the regionals, but I was forced to put a halt to it when I accidentally perforated my eardrum while I was sneezing.
7. My family and closest friends refer to me as Lolly or Loren.
And the nominees to the Kreativ Blogger Award are:

Congratulations, and once again, thank you for reading this blog.
Oie, Lorena!
Adorei saber essas curiosidades sobre você. Continuo achando que você parece muito madura pra quem tem só 19. Certeza que não está enganando sua idade? (rsrsrs). Bom, minha indicação foi mais que merecida! Sabe, A noviça rebelde também marcou muito minha vida. Assisto-o todos os anos faz pelo menos uns 10 anos... Já tive uma versão dele em vhs, uma em dvd simples e a edição de 40 anos (que é fantástica, não?). Anos atrás, comprei o CD do filme e enlouqueci a família cantando "The lonely goatherd" (em tempo, eu canto muito mal). Fiz parecido quando comprei o cd do My fair lady e passei a declamar "Why can't the English" no ouvido de minha mãe. Aliás, vamos agradecer aos nossos pais por eles nos indicarem o bom caminho, porque foram também os meus que me levaram a assistir A Noviça rebelde pela primeira vez!
Ah, adorei seu comentário no meu último post. Dê uma passada por lá quando tiver tempo pra ver minha resposta e a atualização do post, com vídeos - inclusive aquela maravilha que vc me indicou.
