The author



This list was written back in 2015. So some information have been updated as from 2020.
  1. As if you may have already noticed, my name is Janaina and I am from Brasília, Brazil. So let's go to the [fun] facts:
  2. I am 28 33 years old, but I still gotta present my ID to buy beers or to be let in a nightclub :-p (Update: People still ask for my ID before selling me drinks or allowing me in a club)
  3. I don't know if you believe in horoscope crap... I do. I'm sun in sagittarius with Aries rising. Uuhhh what does it mean? Idk. Good and bad things!
  4. I have had a cat called Miomio. He's' 15 years old, fat and very jealous. (Update 2020: he died in early 2019. I am still very sad about it)
  5. I don't like cheese, pizza, olive, oregano, dried cloves,....................... (Update: I can't eat cheese - found out I've intolerance to lactose. I still don't like pizza that much, but nowadays I eat it)
  6. I am a bit dyslexic. I read or type words wrong. No big deal.
  7. I don't have a driving license. Actually, I can't drive. (Update: Still can't drive)
  8. And I talk a lot. A looooooot.
  9. I just refrained from giving a personal information. It was one of my weaknesses and I'm so suspicious that I'm afraid someone could use it against me in the feature. Crazy, but one never knows. This is Internet!
  10. I worked one and a half years as a volunteer in Germany. That means I can speak a lil bit German.
  11. I can't pronounce "hübsch" (pretty/handsome) correctly in German. But people insist that I try it, because I always blush crimson with embarrassment and they think it's cute. It isn't. It's bullying. :p
  12. I am very clumsy. Once I hit the food cart as I opened the bathroom's door in the airplane. People freaked out because it made a powerful metallic sound and they might have taught the plane was crashing HAHAHAHAHA! So, make sure to take every-thing fragile away from me :-p and just avoid greeting me when I'm holding something to eat or drink.
  13. Don't ask me to pronounce "hübsch" or I'll have you trying to say "carro", in case you're a foreigner.
  14. I have already a book published. It's about technical translation stuff. (Nerd detected -  Piiiiiiii!).
  15. I am not as easy going as I may look. Sometimes it's difficult to follow me while I talk (remember that I talk a lot? So much that I often forget what I'm talking about in the middle of the conversation!) and I can be very moody.
  16. I love to talk about politics.
  17. I (usually) am not the one to sent friendship or following request on social media. But I may accept requests sent to me.
  18. I have a blog about translation with 4,000  11,000 fans on Facebook! Yay! (Update: it reached 11k fans, but I don't post on it anymore)
  19. I don't touch people while talking with them like many Brazilians do. I don't people touching me either.
  20. My dyslexia interfered in this text. Can you find where?!
  21. I love being in the nature!
  22. I like drinking beer!
  23. I love Brasília and I mean it. I will make you fall in love with it too.
  24. This text has a positive and a negative sentence! But I just ended with 3 positive facts about me! 
  25. Under construction ;-)
