I went to this tournament and I was horrible!
In the first round I played the FM Arthur Gontijo and Lost, he's only 10 years old... Then I won with black, he sacrificed his bishop wrong. In the third round I lost to the tournament champion with white, on a gambit that I played for the first time on life lol, very tactical game on the end. In the next day I lost both games, I blundered my queen in style, but he had a hard work to win ;), and in the last round I wasn't very excited about chess, thinking about quit and lost a normal game. That's it! I was the 8 of 10 with 1 of 5! you can see here http://www.fmx.org.br/sub%2018%20abs.htm
Round 1
Round 2
Round 3
Round 4
Round 5
That's all!

Hey that was a nice win over your second round opponent. I'm sorry that the gods of chess were not looking over you that tournament. Keep your head up, there will be more opportunities to score big! Even grandmasters perform horrible (Shirov and Leko in the Linares 08 tournament for example). Your time to shine has yet to come.
We all have our bad tournaments. (My favorite was a 1/5 performance, the point was because of a bye...)
Keep practicing, eat your Wheaties, and...well, I don't know if you have Wheaties in Brazil, but whatever healthy breakfast cereal you can get.
Sorry, dude, I can't help you: although I have not lost my respect for the game, I have lost my passion for it.
Enjoy your love affair with Caissa as long as it lasts (even if that's a lifetime), but don't be surprised if it leaves you one day.
While you're still in the heat of the Seven Circles, though, I will give you this one piece of advice: if MDLM's brisk time constraints are frustrating your need to understand every critical variation (listed or not) of an exercise, then take as much time as you need. This is Ziatdinov's advice, and if I were to get back into the game, I would spend up to two years in raw tactical training. But overthoroughness has always been a fault of mine.
My other piece of advice is to drop chess and take up pickup-artistry: www.neilstrauss.com ;-)
Buena suerte, sin embargo.
Guys
thanks for the words
I'll remember then and keep practicing.
Under: I'll follow your advice, makes sense for me, thanks.
That site would be nice to me with i don't have a girlfriend ;P
