Dear readers,
Please accept my profuse apologies for my recent bout of being MIA! Right after my exams I kind of crashed in exhaustion/relief, and then had approximately 1 day before yet one more batizado, from which I think I’m still recovering 😉 .
As well, something I kind of failed to mention thus far is that I’ve actually been studying on exchange in France all this year…which explains all the travelling I’ve been able to do! And as I type right now, I’m waiting for my landlord to come up and examine my apartment (so I can get my deposit back, fingers crossed), and my suitcases are packed and waiting for me to lug them back to Canada…early tomorrow morning! The preparations for which, I hope, further explain my hiatus.
However, I haven’t stopped thinking about this blog and new topics and debates for it all this time, so as soon as I settle back into life and my new summer job back in Canada, Mandingueira will be up and running again at full force! Thank you so much for your patience and reader loyalty, and I will talk to you soon! I love you guys!

Mandingueira 
Joaninha,
You were in France? C’est dommage!! I live in Belgium, you should’ve dropped by. Oh well, maybe next time. 🙂
Have a safe trip back to Canada é!
Abraço
Hey, I certainly know how it feels to have so much to do. And I also know how it feels to have that voice in the back of your mind saying, “Hey, people on the internet enjoy reading your blog! Do something!”
But no worries, because we all understand! Good luck with all of your moving around. Where will you be in Canada?
Boa viagem! I’ve been MIA as well… also for a good reason… I was in Brazil 🙂
Looking forward to more great new stuff on mandingueira!
NO EXCUSES!!! nah, just messin. Real life always comes first and we can ALWAYS use more breaks! lol Just don’t be gone too long because we will miss you! hahaaa
your apelido is joaninha?
See you in class?
Hey guys, I’m BACK!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the comments, and patience, and everything!
Cantor…if it lessens the “darn!” factor, I didn’t actually go to Belgium at all while I was there…but I agree, it would’ve been really cool to meet you, and Xixarro!
Thanks, Faisca! I figured you would definitely understand, considering your own hectic move not too long ago!
Shayna! *Jealousy* I hope your trip went well? Thanks…I’ll do my best to provide!
Hahah Pipoca…you survived! (Well, I have no proof yet, but I hope!) Thanks for sticking around 😀
Hey Julia! Yup…I got it a year and four months after my first class, and it means ladybug. Why? Unless…is that also your apelido, by any chance?!
Brancaaaa….SALVE!!
