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.. !

If there is something I learned this year is that in those moments when you feel sad and falling apart, you have to stop, analyze what is making you feel that way and really ask yourself if it's worth to keep it in your life.

Be honest with yourself. If you know exactly if that person/thing/situation aren't making you any happy, why keep it? Step politely aside.

Do never feed from something that consumes you at the same time. Love yourself enough to know it's enough and move on.

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..

 

I've been eating a LOT. And slowly getting some weight.. finally.

I'm a happy manatee !

Yesterday afternoon was great. I went to IKEA with Rebeca and some of her friends.
I bought the cutest cactus ever, new curtains, two plastic binders and the bedspread i was so eager to buy. This is the one..:

[Cactus picture was taken by me.]

After that we went to Starbucks, in Belém, and had a yummy meal. I completely fall in love with the mocha frappuccino and the cinnamon swirl bread. I had never tried those and both we're so so great. *double win*

Speaking of food.. I've been feeding myself pretty well, I don't remember eating this much since god knows when.. I'm already 1.5kg heavier since last week.

I played some DDR today, haven't touched the game in a while. I think I'm getting good at it because it amuses me endlessly. But alas, I cannot save my games since I haven't bought a memory card yet.
Well I'm listening to J-pop, thanks to it, because the music I'm best of is this one.. I can't keep my feet still.

And that's all folks!

One day, when I was at primary school, a boy came towards me and said I had a very awkward face. Somehow I never forgot that, as I never forgot that boy's ugly face. Although I never notified him of that opinion of mine..

This reminds of a very pretty story my best friend told me a couple of days ago.

Era uma vez um rapazinho que dizia mal de tudo e todos, conforme as coisas lhe vinham à cabeça. Ele não tinha amigos, andava triste e ninguém gostava dele. Um dia, o pai chamou-o e disse-lhe: 

-" Meu filho, quando quiseres dizer algo mau a alguém, não o faças. Em vez disso, espeta um prego nesta tábua."

E assim fez o rapaz. Que foi ganhando cada vez mais amigos, andava feliz. Foi pregando e pregando até que a tábua ficou cheia de pregos.. Foi então ter com o seu pai.

-"Agora vais tirar todos os pregos da tábua."

Ele tirou prego a prego da tábua, deixando esta cheia de buracos.

-"É isto que deixas nas pessoas quando lhes dizes algo mau. Marcas, buracos.. Que qualquer que seja a tua intenção e por muitas desculpas que peças não vão sarar nem apagar aquilo que disseste. Percebes assim o peso das tuas acções."

So yesterday I finally changed my medication to something new. It will give me more energy and appetite. Well, I already ate an entire box of butter cookies. But on the other hand, this makes me SO sleepy and lazy. Today I slept 15h. yeah.. 15 HOURS! What a waste of time. I couldn't keep my eyes open! I have so much to study..

Yesterday I went to the beach with cookie and my cousin. She chased some cats, run like crazy and made friends with a german sheppard puppy. I took a picture with my voigtlander, can't wait to develop the film!

Some dudes are bringing down the pine cone trees that I have in from of my house. I was so angry about that, the birds were flying away like mad, the pour things are losing their homes. I really hope they don't build another house there. I like that space empty.
