I'm sorry for being such a missing soul. I didn't feel like updating things and blogguing is only fun when you feel like it, not as an obligation.
A lot of things changed in my life, I don't know if for the better. But let's hope so..

First things, first. One afternoon, Andreia and Nuno picked me up and we headed to the ring to ride some horses and after ride a carriage. It was a lot of fun, the horses were beautiful and the autumn weather was perfect.

In September, I signed in for some dance classes. It's so good to be active again!

My cousin Miguel got a Super Mario tattoo and I documented it, step by step.
I had never seen a tattoo being made so..  :] It was fun.
The tattoo artist was Cavellucci.

Here's the piece:

I headed north with my family, to Mangualde, for a beautiful Magusto and to visit the fair for the weekend. It was fun and I ate A LOT. My cousins have the most amazing garden with flowers during every year, despite the very cold weather. Cookie loves to run around the house and play with us outside. My cousins are such a cute old couple. Pictureeee spaaaaaam:

Sometimes I say Cookie looks like a bat, here's the proof!!!

 Oh and this is my new motherfucking awsome car.♥ Ain't it a beauty? I love him with all my heart and soul. He's mummy's lil boy. HAHA Enough with the swearing and drooling. He's pretty cool, easy to drive and so pweeety inside & out, and I'm melting for him again! >.<'' sorry

I have some other news to update, some good some bad. But this post is getting quite big, so I'll leave it for another time. I have to work (i have so much to do) and I'm getting food. Ba-baiii! To the few souls that keep on reading my non-senses, big hug to you all♥

My blog is on a words hiatus, I'll just post random snapshots.

 

 

 

Howdy cowboys! I look like shit. Really, a total wreck, I'm tired of studying and the worst battle has just begun.
Everything was going smooth until last week when the world decided to fall apart, not a bit here nor there but everywhere! Well, but I'm not even going to complain about it because it could be a lot worse..

Summarizing, exams did not wen't very well, so I was expecting to fail.. but in the third act twist I passed with good grades after all. The most difficult ones started today, I did one at 8a.m.
I'm probably not going to Poland but I'll be travelling to Paris for a week in September.
On the 2nd, was my mum's birthday, so there was a fast and furious shopping galore for a good birthday gift.
And a hole lot of bullshit that doesn't even fit in here and that I have to mentalise myself that it's my life and it only bothers if I alllow it to.

Fortunately, I have the best friends who always support me at these idiotic crises of mine. Sara picked me up and we went to an amazing ice cream store. She ordered lemon and.. strawberry I think, I went for coffee and banana with chocolate, it was uber yummy!

 cutieeee 

Last night, Rebeca came along to chat. She's amazing and has so much patience. I love her to bits.
And, last but not least, my lil'sista, which sometimes can be a pain in the ass, brought me pizza to dinner.

 a total and sincere wreck.

So I have to through myself furiously to farmacology. I just haven't decided if I shall take a nap now or later in the afternoon. Well, well let's see..

 trainig myself on the manual focus during a study break

If I can survive and, more important, succeede these next couple of weeks, I will do a lot of happy dancings and plan the greatest summer vacaccions of all time. I'll be nothing but LEGEND - wait for it - DARY! *

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?"

So here I am. Sitting in the front of the computer with a halfmade ppt presentation about animals poisoned with toads venom, to finish.
It's quite funny because I never planned this as my future but it couldn't possibly ever turned out so perfect.
My eccentrical mood swings have left me completely exausted but in the end of the day, I can put my mind at ease.

So here I am enjoying my first alchoolic drink with nothing but myself. I always drink socially, so this is new to me. And this strange yet confortable feeling makes me suggest a toast to myself, my aging.
Even though a month later... Happy Birthday to myself! I am actually happy I was born 21 years ago. And what a ride has been.. !

I've been neglecting my blog for a while, not on purpose though.. so much has happened this last few weeks. I didn't stop to clear the thoughts in my head.

Well, first things first... on the 27^th  it was my 21^st  birthday!
It was kinda of a meaningless day. I didn't have to go to college and everyone else was working. In the evening there were cake and candles with some of my dearest family. So that cheered my mood a lot!
On friday, we had a college colleagues birthday dinner. There were 2 birthday girls (one was me, of course) and a birthday boy. It was pretty sweet to gather everyone and have a good time. Too bad it was raining cats and dogs.

When I arrived home the next morning, my house had a major flood, due to the rain. It was a bit terrifying I must confess. I never seen my house threaded before and excuse me, but that was some fucking scary shit.
Fortunately, everyone worked so hard to put everything back in place as fast as they could, ‘cause I was giving a party the very next day to my closest friends.


Despite of this scenario looking already bad as fuck. I’ll have to add that at the same time I was agonizing with my wisdom teeth growing. The pain was so much I had to take more than 3 painkillers, my face was swollen and I couldn’t eat anything solid. Even trying to eat cooked rice it was like taking bullets in my face. Sweet.
PLUS, something ruined my modem, I believe it was the thunderstorm on the previous night. So no internet for me. For a WEEK. It was really bad because with all the pain I was having, I wanted to distracted myself and couldn’t, hooray.

With all this crap around me, you can imagine it was not the happiest birthday celebration. My friends that came by were really sweet to me. And I can say that my 21^st was very flowery, I never received so many flowers in my life!
My grandpa gave a beautiful purple orchid, which is one of my favorite flowers. My mum also bought me a pretty bouquet with small bordeaux flowers. Yellow tulips from my godmother and from my friend Ana Sofia a really beautiful white, lilac and purple bouquet.

 

And some photodump from the dinner with friends that mean a lot...

This is Ana, she has the same first and last name as me. We are both short and dark-haired, so people tend to confuse us. She has been a huge support to me. <3 Oh and Francisco is in the back! 

 My goddaughter, always so smily and sweet. And pretty!

 The birthday people! Daniel and Mariana, they're both one year older than me. The champagne that one of Daniel godsons gifted us.

 

Diana and Francisco goofying! 

Francisco is a good friend, I wish Diana was in the picture with us too. 

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..

 

Today 259.000 portugueses got out on the street to show their discontentment with our government!
From all parts of the country, from all ages, all social status, all religions, all political views, all colors and all origins. People are clearly unhappy.
E agora que me perdoem, mas falarei na minha língua. Foi um orgulho participar neste movimento, neste mar de gente que luta em uníssono por um futuro melhor para todos. Muito obrigada.

 

Rui Veloso, a great portuguese singer. 

  

 

 

Guilherme Leite, a portuguese actor.

 

Being a part of that sea of people was quite a sensation.

And, of course, yours truly. Plus Rebeca, André and Sara.

Hi there! For my happy amazement I've been passing exam after exam. This makes me so so happy, so what would be better than enjoying myself for a few days, right?

I missed my friend Bárbara, really really bad, so we decided to hang out last week and took a few amusing shots. It was really funny but the results were a bit shitty, I definitely need to buy remote control for my camera. I feel like I'm missing so many great shots, bléh.. Here's my favs:

So after this lovely afternoon, I had another exam and then grabbed my bag and my camera on my way with the north wind. :)

 

This is Micro, the tiny puppy that slept with me for two days. Behaved amazingly well! And then she was adopted..












 This is Lotta, the baby seal! She got lost in the sea and was rescued. She's going to be returned to the sea as soon as she stops finding humans so interesting! Look at those whiskers! :D

Rogélia not in the mood for some exercise. hahahaha
It was great to see her eat all by herself and gaining weight but her eyes are so hard to heal.  Diogo took the picture and borrowed me his surfing wetsuit.



Nick was really curious with her. :)
