I was born as Tania Regina Bitello Lobo (Lobo=Wolf) in 28. October 1954 in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
I have lived twenty-four years of my life at the strand of Copacabana, six in Jacarepaguá and three in Grajaú (all regions
in Rio de
Janeiro). I have left Brazil June 1988 and came to Bochum, Germany, where I feel at home.
I have studied six years at the PUC/RJ (Pontificia Universidade
Católica do Rio de Janeiro - The Catholic University of
Rio de Janeiro) and have a diplom as Bachelor in Industry Design. It´s a very very long time now since I graduated
(1979) and I have everything forgotten... But I still like painting watercolors and drawing with china ink.
I am married to a german doctor and he is the reason why I am living in Germany. His name is Detlef (brazilians use
to call him Dudu, because it is easier for them to pronounce this strange german name).
I have a son Luciano (born 1990), a daughter, Luiza (born 1994) and two cats,
both born in 1998: a he - Pingo and
a she - Pongo.
One can say that I am a very normal and typical mother from five kids, if you see the husband as a child too.

I am fascinated about Esoterism. Like all scorpio children (my ascendent is taurus). I love everything that is
mytsterious, obscure and unexplained. My favorite themes are Angels and Faeiries. But I like Dracula too.
My site Links is about all my favorite angel and faeiries sites I use to visit.

Ballet was a passion in my life when I was a little girl. I have danced many years, then I stopped.
I have began dancing again 1998. But I decided not to do it anymore. I still like dancing Ballet but I do it only when
I am alone at home and nobody is watching me. So I can dance the way I want and there is no one there to criticize me.
I used to dance Ballet with rolling skates too. My club was Flamengo -
Clube de Regatas Flamengo (logo below),
the Club where Zico used to play Football. I am still a Flamengo Fan. I don´t like Inlineskates. I have only learned with
the old Rolling Skates and Inlines are for me unusual and I feel myself insecure when running with them. I love to eat
arabian, italian und chinese food but the north brazilian one from
Bahia is a pleasure for me. And now I must admit,
I know that is not healthy, but I like to smoke (it is a passion, I can´t do anything against it...). I love spanish red wine
and am mad about an italian Espresso.

Music is wonderful and I hear all kinds of it, from Frank Sinatra until (my favorite)
Progressive Rock - Yes,
Pink Floyd, Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Renaissance, Fados, Tango, Soul Music
(Marvin Gaye),
New Age, brazilian Pop music (no Samba, thanks!), classic music, Disco and the lovely sound of the 60s and 70s.
I am a "Flower-Power-Generation-Child. I have always dreamed to join Woodstock
(1969) and see alive all my
favorite groups sing - Ten Years After, The Who, Incredible String Band,
Crosby, Still, Nash & Young etc.
But I was not able to do it, at this time I was only 15 and was not allowed to make
such a long trip just to meet so
strange people... Oh, I have almost forgot to tell that I am simply CRAZY about Jim Morrison from The Doors...
He is for me a symbol that never dies and I wish (deep inside of me) I had met him.


Angel (Tania, 19..?)
Abra este portão do mundo
como que por acaso
e me fale dos caminhos
que um dia eu quis ter
e sem querer deixei partir.
Traga um pouco desta vida
que imagino ser azul
e que me parece
no momento
nada ser senão incolor.
Esteja sempre por perto
a fim de impedir
que esta noite negra
desabe repentinamente sobre mim
e me faça esquecer o sol.
Ao sair
deixa uma luz acesa...
Fecha meus olhos com cuidado
e permita que no meu sono
as minhas perguntas
obtenham todas as respostas.
