Where it all begun...

Suddenly the day turns into night and slowly it comes to an end, those 365 days… and now you realize that there’s so much more you want to achieve and there’s more to life than just your work, finding love or paying bills.

There is some kind of contentment in what we do, in the things that we have but to wish for better it’s not strange with the beginning of a new year, the problem is to make those wishes into something real. How did it begin? How did a year passed by and my list of wishes seemed to fall out of coming true? As C.S Lewis once said "Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement", so this year start by making everything you planned for the year before and all those mistakes you somehow made along the way will be worth it and may your lesson be learned for 2011.

May the motto "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" from the United States Declaration of Independence [influenced by John Locke and Richard Cumberland] be a constant in your mind, is an essential human right. It will help you transcend yourself; discover new things and new worlds, giving the New Year something New!

Careless

You speak of love

But you ain't no lover

You were a friend

More like a brother

As the miles pass beneath me

The sounds made so sweetly came to an end

And no man can deny her but now you're a liar

And you've no room left to defend

When I left

I should have known better

Of the kind of man that you are

You'd have to get her

And I know you got a lot of pain

That's born inside you

But instead of growing stronger

You let it divide you, oh

How could you be so careless

How could you be so careless

And the waves that are crashing

True lives of passion washing on your shore

Yes Sir, life has been costing

A true love's been lost

And I can't get back anymore

And I'm sure

That we both still both love her

And it's a shame we both lost her

And in turn lost each other

But a trust has been broken

And words have been spoken

But you can mend

And no man can deny her

And as you laid beside her

I hope it felt good my friend

How could you be so careless

How could you be so careless

How could you be so careless with her heart

By Amos Lee

Desabafos...

Noutro dia estava a pensar em várias cenas e quando me pus a fazer zapping eis que vi na SIC Mulher a repetição de "Sexo e a Cidade" que depois de terminar o episódio deu-me algumas luzes. O "Sexo e a cidade" não sendo só uma série sobre sexo fala muito sobre a vida, sobre o nosso quotidiano e sobre como corre a vida na cidade. Carrie B., a personagem "principal" deu-me a conhecer e fez-me gostar de saber que existem por aí bons cronistas/bloggers na sociedade actual a espera de serem descobertos, ela inspirou-me pela sua arte a escrever e abordar diferentes temas.
Existem vários temas os quais eu gostaria de abordar no meu blog, porque temos o inesgotável tema do Amor, da Saudade, da Amizade, do Carinho, da Loucura, da Morte, do Eterno, da Solidão enfim inúmeros temas que cada vez têm mais e mais por onde explorar.

Adoro escrever é verdade, talvez me esteja no sangue, expressar-me por palavras sabe me melhor do que falar e falar sem nada dizer, sem a ninguém importar e sem ninguém para me ouvir.
Por isso no meu espaço tento falar sobre relações, não são essas que todos pensam em primeiro lugar. Falo-vos não de relações amorosas ou de amizade mas sim de relações humanas... e o que pode ser mais dito acerca deste assunto que ainda não tenha sido discutido? Talvez muita coisa...
Para mim as relações humanas definem-se não só pelo modo como ser humano se relaciona com o outro, as suas intenções para com o outro, as suas expectativas para com este. São as relações entre o "Eu" e o "Outro".
As nossas relações podem ter inicio numa conversa, num olhar, num cumprimento, num abraço, num beijo, num aperto de mão... A interacção entre duas pessoas é uma excelente forma de comunicação entre os seres humanos e são nelas que surgem aqueles tão estimados laços.

Aqui...

Aqui
Eu nunca disse que iria ser
A pessoa certa pra você
Mas sou eu quem te adora
Se fico um tempo sem te procurar
É pra saudade nos aproximar
E eu já não vejo a hora
Eu não consigo esconder
Certo ou errado, eu quero ter você
Ei, você sabe que eu não sei jogar
Não é meu dom representar
Não dá pra disfarçar
Eu tento aparentar frieza mas não dá
É como uma represa pronta pra jorrar
Querendo iluminar
A estrada, a casa, o quarto onde você está
Não da pra ocultar
Algo preso quer sair do meu olhar
Atravessar montanhas e te alcançar
Tocar o seu olhar
Te fazer enxergar e se enxergar em mim
Aqui
Agora que você parece não ligar
Que já não pensa e já não quer pensar
Dizendo que não sente nada
Estou lembrando menos de você
Falta pouco pra me convencer
Que sou a pessoa errada
Eu não consigo esconder...

Vício De Ti

Just another Valentine's Day...

Not only the fact that I was working on that day made me not aprecciate it as much as the next mortal as the fact of not having someone to share this moment with gave that feeling of it's just another Valentine's Day...

Ok, so at work I've seen a lot of couples some more in love than others but that's how it's suppose to be, there's no measures for love. I did enjoy when I would came up to them, great them and offer complimentary drinks that they really smiled back at me, giving me the reassurance that I could have that some day. Hey, who knows what may happen on the next Valentine's day??

New Years...

Another year came around and what was new about it?? I didn't became rich, haven't found the men of my dreams but I did had one of the best so far new year's celebration among work colleagues and friends. Dancing and working while waiting for the twelfth gong to midnight, I wasn't properly going to became Cinderela but it was good enough for me to celebrate good times come on with sincere hugs and wishes of a Happy New Year!

Last Christmas...

Last Christmas... that's how the song goes but for this one the tone is quite different, I would even say much more fun and colorful. For the first time I've organized a Christmas dinner party among my work colleagues and friends, which was pretty exciting and nerve racking because I wasn't sure that the 13 of them were going to show up but everyone did.

We start with a dinner in the restaurant were the usual suspects are always welcome, Nando’s!!

I went there early and got the table than 45 minutes later we were ready to order, a very nice meal with a great group of young gals and lads on there way to make another night to remember!!

Followed by drinks at local pub, The George and ending up in Reflex dancing through the 80’s mighty tunes and having the time of your lifes…

A year around the rain city...

It has been a litle more than a year since I last wrote in my blog. A year building up friendships, living love desilusions,travelling back home, working hard, studying, making new plans and getting a year older and hopefully wiser. So stay tunned 'cause this what you miss in...My so called life!
