The end

And this is the end of the blog.
I had two options: or to write a lot or to write just a little bit, to avoid emotional details.
So I prefer to make no use of my words this time and just... say goodbye.
The adventure is over.
Thank you all for reading and making me company here in this virtual domain.

The heart

And today is the release date of what may be my favourite album from 2010 (from what i've heard so far, and for the music and musician in it which never dissapointed me). The album is Called: the heart. It's by Jimmy Gnecco, Ours' frontman. Here's a taste...





"And I, I really want to bring you home... to your heart"

Ours

Holding on to these words..





(...)

What were you here for?
What will you find?
Could I save your life, like you saved mine?

Wait until the morning comes around
Wait for something beautiful
Wait to see if worry turns around
Wait, please wait

I tried to keep you from
Everything that was
So difficult for me

But it makes you strong
When you hurt so long
I'll put it all in faith that you won't leave

And I'll wait until the morning comes around
Wait for something beautiful
Wait to see if worry turns around
Wait, I'll wait

A moment in time

Back from home

And so we went to Portugal!
First day arriving in Porto, but going straight to Lisbon where we stayed with Sónia and where we visited places like Mosteiro dos Jerónimos or Torre de Belém, we also ate Pastéis de belém and drank some Ginjinha and Licor Beirão at Bairro Alto!
The next day we visited among other stuff the Expo 98 and the Oceanarium! We had lunch with some friends and at night we went to Castelo Branco to meet other friends, go to património and end the night at the castle ;)
The next day we visited Jardim do Paço, Parque da Cidade, Sé, and so many ither places in my beautiful home town and the next day we went to Porto to meet João, eat some francesinhas and visit Ribeira, Ponte D.Luís, Aliados, Clérigos, and so many more!
This was just to give you all a taste of how great it was!

Everyday you grow stronger and stronger in me :)

Tour de Portugal

No, I'm not talking about a cycling event ;)
This friday until the next tuesday I'll be doing the Tour of Portugal , to show an amazing country to an even more amazing person ;)

God only wants you

Two musical masterpieces that were turned into one horror videoclip of high quality! This is how art should be, where the different types can combine and be even better together!

Enjoy

Dreaming light

I just discovered Anathema's new album! It's been such a long time since the last release! I've seen them last year in May, it was amazing! I even met Danny! A very nice night in Porto! The funny thing about Anathema is that they started off as black/doom metal, screaming voices, heavy guitars, anti-god lyrics, pure despair, and so on.. and now, as years go by, they're changing, but in a natural and amazing way, they're finally seeing the light in the end of the tunnel. This album shows us exactly that, a album of light, hope, and feelings that seem so new and pure to them, like love.

So here I share the song and the lyrics to my favourite song of this new album.

And just as a secret, I think the main reason why this is the song i like the most in the album is just because i feel 100% like the lyrics to it. You know it's true, dont you? :)

Dreaming Light

Suddenly... life has new meaning
Suddenly... felling is being

And you shine inside
And love stills my mind like the sunrise
Dreaming light of the sunrise

Suddenly... you dont have to be afraid
Suddenly... all falls into place

And you shine inside
And love stills my mind like the sunrise
Dreaming light of the sunrise
Dreaming light and...

I feel you but I don't really know you
I dreamed of you from the moment I saw you
And I've seen the sunrise in your eyes
The sky... the sea... the light

So live your dream beneath the northern horizon
Be at peace, set your heart in flight again
For the light is truth...
The light is you...

In a manner of speaking

This song is for you, because... " the way I feel about you is beyond words!" :)

Morocco!

Oh Morocco, Morocco...!
We took off from Luxembourg towards Frankfurt and from there to Africa! My first time outside Europe. An amazing experience in some many ways, and so different from what I was used to. And so it began, the trainees final trip!

Some stories...

1) Burocracy at the airports. Do I look like a terrorist? I don't think so! So, why the drama?

2) Our taxi driver took us to the wrong hotel

3) we wanted to buy shampoo, gel, deodorant, etc. and we did, thank god. but, it looked like the products were there for sale for years, covered in dust. that makes you wonder :x

4) first contact with the african beach - always with the perfect company by my side :)

5) the food. what the hell is wrong with the hygien and methods of that people? let's not talk about the time they take to serve you :x

6) Casanova. My new nickname. Imagine: we, at the beach, 7 girls, 1 boy. 2 guys passing by, looking, shins on the ground, say to me: You must be some kind of casanova! do you need help? how do you do this? ahah! I really felt like a king in Morocco! But ladies, I already have a queen, and just one :) sorry :P

7) Essaouira/Mogador. 6 trainees and one taxi driver = 7 people. where? in 1 cab for 5 people. What about the police? what if they catch us? no worries. they saw, they waved, they smiled! Morocco style they say!! ahah. But the sight was amazing, I love the ocean, wild, surrounded by rocks. Heaven to see.

8) The market. So dirty, so filthy, so... i dont even know. But well I bought a Chelsea t.shirt there, the only one that looked real and clean!

9) The camels and the sand. "150 dirham! 100 dirham! 50 each! 20 dirham! Agadir Agadir Agadir! Taxi Taxi! 20 dirham, 20 dirham, 20 dirham, pour tout! oui? no? ce soir? later? ok ok! Agadir Agadir Taxi Taxi!" No need to say more :x

10) last but not least, the moment I call the baptism of two souls in the atlantic :) the most important moment of them all!

and so it was Morocco! I could say so much more, but my friends , I do need to work, so these were the highlights!

Next trip: Portugal!

Headspace

Go ahead...
Taste with your eyes,
Feel with your head,
And think with your heart.

Inflatable

I have almost forgotten how beautiful and perfect life can be. How good it is to be able to feel that way again! This kind of happiness has no price. This kind of feelings have no possible words to describe them. I wait to stay like this forever.

"And I've only just become inflatable for you"

Kayak / Them Crooked Vultures

Hello my friends! It's been a week since I last wrote something here! But well it's because I've been having a wonderful time!!
Last weekend was amazing, jogging, kayaking (with the best of companies!) and playing football. My body is alive again! I would feel like I was 17 if it wasnt for a vein/muscle that is about to explode :x maybe I should go to a doctor and fix it, I know.. :x
And yesterday.. wow.. two amazing concerts!! And So I Watch From Afar and Them Crooked Vultures! The first band is a new irish band, they sound a lot like 65 days of static, Explosions and the sky and Love is colder than death, they are powerful on stage, trust me!! And the second band, well they dont need to be introduced, but here it goes.. Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones.. do I need to say more? The concert went straight up to my top 10!! And trust me I've seen a lot of concerts..!
Doubt of day... Spend 110 and go to Paris to see Muse for the 7th time? I wish I had more money.. Because since I'm going to Morocco in 10 days I'll need all the money I can have :x oh well, we'll see ;)

This mess we're in...

Can you hear them
The helicopters
I'm in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me
In the eye directly
You met me
I think it's Wednesday
The evening
The mess we're in
And ooooh...

The city sunset over me

Night and day
I dream of
Making love
To you now baby
Love making
On screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway
Reminding of
This mess we're in
And ooooh...

The city sunset over me

What were you wanting / What was that you wanted
I just wanna say
Don't ever change now baby
I'd thank you
I don't think we will meet again
And you must leave now
Before the sun rises
Over the skyscrapers
And the city landscape comes into view
Sweat on my skin
Oh
This mess we're in
Ooooh...

The city sunset over me...

Hollywood Party

Just a picture from our last party, so you can see how much fun we're having here! Long live the party committee! :D

Inner silence

Happy Children's day! I don't know about you but I certaintly feel like one. I just hope I can hold this way of feeling for a long, long time! Only bad part of the day is that I'm at my office, working (although, as some sort of gift from above, not that much work today, at least comparing to the previous days), instead of being outside, under the sun, planting a tree and running around doing some games! I miss primary and secondary school days! Nothing to worry about, just living as if there would be no tomorrow at all...!

Dirty Vegas

Days go by

You

Still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin

You

Leave me when I'm at my worst
Feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you

You

Still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Without you...
