speeded up

This was somehow a strange week... I've been working, feelling speeded up, for some while. I end up drinking 5 coffees a day, sometimes in pairs jut to keep awake and moving.
Lukily the view from the window at home has the funny feeling of relaxation, and a weekend away was well. Here is a sample!

That's why I have a plane ticket and a hotel booked!!! For sure I won't work this weekend... although I have some stuff that should be done... Tuesday will be a new day. (do I sound that much workaholic?!!!)
I'll post pics when I get back!

Well... maybe not!!!

Strange coincidences

It's surprisingly amazing how you meet someone who is a friend of cousin which is cousin of a friend of yours!!!
Awkward?! I'd say small world.

The most surprising is the familiarity you can get with some people. It surprises me the funny details of life


Well... maybe not!!!

Enjoying the sun

One of the advantages of working where I do, according to some friends, is having the beach just 5kms away, and being able to see the sea from my window!!!

Well while everybody was having fun enjoying the Carnival, I went to work. Ok, I didn't work that much and I gave myself a different lunch... at the beach. Is nice to go for a different place sometimes!
I leave you my lunch sight... nice hum?!!!




Well... maybe not!!!

Music says it all

Do you know feeling when some music lyrics really say whtas in your mind, reflect you mood....
here are 2 that pop my mind lately!!!

"Fim de semana"
letra: Tim
música: Xutos & Pontapés

Todos os sinais são vermelhos
Todas as portas estão fechadas
Todos os autocarros vão cheios
as janelas embaciadas
há gritos que atravessam a rua
sempre fora da passadeira
As nuvens colam-se á vidraça
em abraços de geleia
E a fome aperta
Apertando o cerco

Um dia eu serei fogo
Como os paus dessa fogueira
Um dia eu serei chama
Se fores a minha companheira

mas tu tardas tanto em chegar
Cada vez tardas mais em chegar
Então já eu serei pó
Como a cinza da lareira porque o tempo
Se arrasta
Arrastando o tempo

Sabes que morro
Pelo fim de semana
morro de fome
pelo fim de semana
fome de sair
fome de te ver
fome de saltar
fome de te ter
fome de voar
Fome de cair
Fome de te amar
Para depois viver



or else....


"Walk On"
U2

And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring...
And love is not the easy thing....
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can’t steal it
No they can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on...
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can’t sell it, can’t buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Home… hard to know what it is if you’ve never had one
Home… I can’t say where it is but I know I'm going home
That's where the hurt is

I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme…


Well... maybe not!!!

It's snowing in Portugal

Ok what is so surprising about snowing?
It happens every year also in the mountain area and in northern Portugal.
The funny thing is that it snowed all over the south area, in places where in didn't snow for ages... (it has been 52 years since las time it snowed for example in Lisbon)
For me it was like the first driving in the snow...
It was really funny. Here are some pictures...
