Last year, Princess Lauren died of cancer at her adrenal glands, and Bethovenn isleaving with my grandma at Itu.

Manuela
Hi!! My name's Manuela, I am a normal girl, that studies in a normal school with normal people. I am not really different from everybody, but like most people, I want to make the change and express myself with freedom. I really like to read and be with my friends, but most importantly spending time with them, no matter if they are with me physically or not. I spend most of the time at my phone or computer, and I don't think that's a really bad thing. At my phone I talk to my friends, see what's happening in the world, and a lot of people think that's a bad thing, but it's not. Of course, that's a bad thing if it's the only thing I do, but it's not. I live in Sorocaba a city in the state of São Paulo with my family.
