I know, I know.. I start every post complaining about how much of a lazy blogguer I am. And here I am again promising to myself that from today I'll start blogging weekly. There's this massive pile of pictures I want to upload here that keeps making my procrastination speak louder and uploading less. And the pile gets bigger, hooray for that snowball effect.

So moving on to more interesting stuff.. I went to Paris!

It was really coooooool. I've been there on 2009, so I skipped some iconic monuments I've already seen before to see some new and exciting places. Take a sit and enjoy my tour :)

All the pictures are unedited for the sake on my brain fuction.

Very uncommon place to start, right? A cemitery. Boo! One of the most famous in the world and certainly the most beautiful I have ever seen. Not that I'm very fan of the grieving thing. But I met some cool dudes or the remains they left on this earth.. such as:  Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, Chopin, Moliére, Allan Kardec, James Morrison, La Fontaine and many more.

Fun fact: I was sticking my gum on Jim Morrison's memorial tree because aparentely that's what rebel people do in his honor. I felt like catching some diseases too. Kissing Wilde's grave was a bit to hardcore for me though..

That's the inscription on Allan Kardec's tomb saying: "To be born, die, again be reborn, and so progress unceasingly, such is the law". I have a lot of respect for Kardec's Spiritism ideologies, some of them make so much more sense to me than christianity.

Back to the hotel and this was the view from our window.

I visited Montmartre for the very first time and falled in love with it.

The mary-go-round is beautiful, Moulin Rouge was kind of disappointing although I didn't get to enter. I insisted I wanted to visit Les Doux Moulins coffee shop from the Amélie's movie and the garçon felt the need to kindly express his aproval of my appearance. I had a quite a sucess between the males, do they have bad taste? Are portuguese men too picky? Or maybe is the parisienne atmosphere. Haha I don't know but my ego enjoyed it very much. Plus, I was gifted with a beautiful sanguine portrait (much much prettier than myself actually) portrait by an artist called Samuel something-something (can't figure his last name). It was much trickier than I thought to pose for 20 minutes straight without being allowed to look to other places. Very worthy nonetheless.

Other cute place was the Marché aux Puces which means Flea Market. Too bad they ask for astronomic amounts of money for almost every god-damn-thing (meaning I'm not rich). But still was a good place to take a walk and see curious things.

I went to the Comparative Anatomy Exposition on Jardin des Plantes Because the crazy vet/scientist/whatnot in me absolutely HAD to. And it was absolutely mind blowing, I took nearly 100 photos there and didn't took more because I needed my camera's memory for more than skeletons only. I think I could've spent days in there admiring the beautifuly dissected specimens. oh boy *boner*

Too bad I didn't had time to visit the zoo there. One of the first ones open to public in the world.. maybe next time.. maybe next time..

That awkard moment when a baby horse is almost as tall as me. :D

I visited the Magic and Ilusionism Museum but photographs were not allowed. Only worthy if visiting with kids, not much of a big deal.

Also went to Tim Burton's exposition at the Cinematheque Française. Waited almost 2h to get inside, worth it!!! I'm a fan girl so.. Pictures were not allowed (again) but.. ups.. (i hope i don't get sued..).

My mum decided to be all sweet to me and took me to dinner on one of the most fancy places in the whole Paris. Can you believe it? Neither could I. Le Train Bleu, a place where the royal family used to eat when they arrived from their trips by train. It was stunning and felt like eating on a great hall at a palace or something. The staff was super nice, the food was amazing and I was so full. The champagne was named Louise, I couldn't miss that could I? ;P 

Despite I'm don't have a sweet tooth I can't deny they have amazing pastry. I had the very first macarron of my life, got disappointed and had another. 






Well I still have a few more collages to make like my amazing shopping there! Brought home quite a few gems. And of course, to update my current situation that is quite caotic. I'm not even exagerating, I moved out and my birthday and other stuff.. If only I had more feedback over here maybe I'd feel more inclined to post frequently.

Oh well.. :) See you soon!

My life has been crazy happy lately! :) Exams finally calm down for a moment, though I still have 2 to go.

I took a few days off to restore mental sanity, turns out I barely rest. While most people were celebrating Carnaval, I hung out with my friends and had an amazing time. Didn't wear a crazy costume but oh well, maybe next year.. ;P

Friday night, I met Sara and André on an Arabic pub real close to my home. I did have an exam that day, so I was up since 6am, not quite sure if that justifies my shit-face.

At some point, the bar's owner approached us and we get to meet one of his snakes. She was the cutest most cuddling reptile I've ever met.

   *Look at my cute new leggings, got to show me goods!
Please do ignore my fart-face. She was so cold and my arms were warm
 = good spot to chill that orange cold-blooded ass.
I want one in a near future and for my amazement, my mum thinks it's a cool idea! So maybe I don't get to wait till I have my own place *.* Oh dreams.. y u no realize faster?





Next day I had a sushi dinner with Rebeca and Bibs. The food was pretty good but the waiters were not that nice. So do I have the prettiest friends or do i have the prettiest friends?
Also they get a ride on my chevy which was nicknamed Lucifer by Bibs. We're Lucifer Angels. haha

And finally on Saturday was Ana's birthday party! 

I was saying something stupid. I can tell by her nose.

After the cake with played EyeToy and SingStar!

Birthday girl - Ana, yours truly and Sara

And now back to where I insist I do not belong... :\ méh.

I'm such an awful blogger, what a shame. I'm gonna try to upload here once a week from now on.
I like to keep my memories and the tiny special bits that I want to remember forever, so..
My mum gave me a new cellphone, since my old one was quite terrible to deal with. Even when I don't have my camera with me, now I have my phone, muahaha pictures with crappy quality!

I honestly have never eaten so much kit kat in my life, than this last few months.

So much is going on that I have to do a quick update!
Last week was granpa's 87th birthday, we were all very happy for him and gave him a bunch of new clothes.
He insisted that he didn't want any party or dinner of any kind.. so in respect to that and due to all the final exams me and my sister are going through, my mother just bought him a beautiful cake to sing him happy birthday. The cake name was Dark Forest, how cool is that?



I've been studying very hardcore-ish. My brain is very tired already, I can't remember names on random situations, so I'm calling everything "thing". Yesterday I put an empty bowl on the fridge, god knows for what purpuse.. and the list could go on with the lunatic-like strange behaviors of mine.
My doctor also decided to change my medication (again!) to something that would make me less sleepy and more active, although this one ain't gonna get me any heavier.
In the mean time, I went shopping (once more). I finally found some cute stuff for me.. bow pattern high wasted shorts, black suede flats, faux fur keychain (morigirl inspired) and i also bought a beige paper bag shorts.



I finished the first season of Misfits, quite interesting serie. And I'm planning a trip to Wroclaw, Poland in August! I'm so so sooooooooo excited. I have an awsome to-do's list planned for my summer vacations.
So I don't have spare time for pretty much nothing these days.. but that feels good in a way.

Ahoy, fellow mates! I foresee tempestuous times on this beach..
The finals are arriving at a galloping speed. But fear not, my friends, it ain't the first time we battle and so far we've never lost a war!

Now some more accurate thoughts about the present..
I've been self-tapping myself on the back to, at such young age, being capable to cut every root of bitterness out of my life. It doesn't make me happy? Kick it out.
It looks so simple said that way, but we both know it's not simple at all. To be able to admit that something or someone makes you more bad than good. (because not everything is just good or just bad, there's always both sides)

Also I've been a bit lovey-dovey lately which to those who know me, it's a bit of a surprise and so it is to myself! There's a motive for that but it's a secret. I feel like if I let it out it will absorb dreadful luck. So shhh-it Luísa!

Above everything that's happening around, I have to focus on what's really important for me. In the mean time, I'll get some amazing shots of peace and quiteness straight to my tiny cardiac muscle.

"I'm chillin' in yo pillows, u mad?"

I've been away for  a while and I'm not quite sure what to say..

The week after my last exam was spent in total hibernation, to recharge my brain batteries. Dolce fare niente.
I saw the 1st season of Dexter and liked it. I'm almost finishing the 2nd one now..
So the weekend before my 2nd semester of classes started I made myself get out of the house. On saturday, I went to street protest (as I showed the last post) and on sunday, I went to the paddock with Rebeca to meet Andreia, who usually hangs there.
We helped them to gave the antiparasitant to the poneys and the foals which were quite wild.. and since we were there.. We also rode a bit a really sweet horse they have there.

Here some random pictures of these past days..

 

So I received this call out of nowhere and it was Navz:
"Where are you?" he said.
"I'm at home, why?"
"Came outside!"
I grabbed my coat and there he was with puppy Sam! And that totally made my day.
Sam recognized me and he is so grown up now. Still a kid inside, but huge outside. Aw..
He walked all the way from his house to mine, at 9pm. It was cold as hell but we took a walk at the park near my house.

I have an exam on Friday, but I'm so not into studying right now.. It's being so hard to stay focus with this lovely sunny weather outside. And not doing my work efficiently leaves me very frustrated.. :\
Here are some random shots from the last few days..

 

I used to play with these, it was one of my mum's toys. Very vintage.

 

 

The flowers I have on my porch. Welcome Spring, my favorite season of the year! 

Since my mind can't seem to focus I'll leave you with the theme BENTO BOX!
I loooooooooooooove it and it's practically unknown here in Portugal, alas I can't find the right accessories.
So you can imagine my surprise when I stumbled across this lovely cutesy pack in a book shop.

The book is in french and my french is very... shitty. But oh well, it has great pictures! And c'mon, if i can study bones/veins/arteries/muscles in french why wouldn't make it now? 

 These are fish-shaped sauce containers. *.*

Duck-shaped sauce containers! 

And the best part is that it wasn't even that expensive! Pretty cheap for all this cutesy stuff.
Here are my clumsy bento boxing skills:

 yes, lame.

I love to get inspired in these lovely gallery created but ordinary people trying to improve their skills by sharing info and tips: http://bento-love.deviantart.com/gallery/

Scones and amazing Latte Macchiato for dinner!

135 Max Combo. Enough said.

I watched this movies recently. Donnie Darko absolutely win my heart.. Makes me stand up and yell "WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN IT BEFORE?!".
Even though I didn't get out the house that much, I got this cold. And my maxillary wisdom tooth are growing insanely fast. I think wisdom ain't necessarily lacking on my teeth.. but in other parts of my body.

 And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had.
