smell.
I can smell the beach.
I’ll be gone for a while on a short vacation - going to the beach! When I spend too much time without going to the beach I have small panic attacks. True.
So tomorrow (EARLY) morning I’ll be on my way to the hot sand and cold sea. I don’t think I’ll be having any internet there (and I’m not even sure I want to) so I’ll be posting...

when.
today I saw a girl doing cocaine right beside me in the girls’ room. I walked in on her but she looked at me undisturbed and told me (as if she needed to tell me anything) that it was supposed to give her luck for her exam. to which I nodded and wished her good luck.
Her easiness sniffing the white light powder with me staring at her made *me* feel I was the one wrong there (it only lasted...

fight.
have you ever been in a fight? I have.
When you’re fighting you punch and kick and you’re punched and kicked…but you don’t even notice it.
You can feel tighten fists landing on your side abs - and you suddenly regret not having done those extra 100 crunches you should have… You can see a leg coming at you - that your try to block with your arms…

input.
Mr. Maique featured a really awesome post in a traveling blog (that looks amazing by the way, I have to explore it more).
the blog is called gadling and has got some very amazing tips but the post I’m want to get my input on is titled: ‘7travel rules you should break’ ~by Geraldine DeRuiter [do check the entire post yeah?]
okay, credited enough? no? here: ‘7travel rules...
apparently.
More than one person thinks I look like Audrey Hepburn, apparently which is an enormous compliment!
I think it’s the eyebrows…
Now I feel like watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Which also reminds me of this other movie I’ve watched not so long ago for the second or third time, where the main character was a humongous fan of Audrey Hepburn: Love and Other Disasters,...
ask away!
Anonymous asked - What are your top 5 sites throughout your day?
not in a particular order: flickr, tumblr, digg, 40fakes and my usual blog list (thought I’d put that in one category). ^_^

Everything was awesome.
A shit load of people enjoying it all, drinks and loads of brilliant music. And I now love Steve Aoki a little more.
It’s just too bad that certain people go just to keep the cool image they must maintain amongst others…
All in all, brilliant.
strolling around.
Came to Lisbon for this music festival as you may have noticed by the last photos and I found myself not thinking so much about what happened in these last couple of weeks… which was refreshing to say the least.
It’s tough to remember that my aunt is not around anymore… and being at home is a constant reminder of that fact. It’s even harder when people come to me and, with...

photo album.
I always complain me and keoshi don’t take enough photos together…it’s not because we don’t want to, but because we end up taking photos of everything else but us - which is the most important thing!
I mean it’s such a waste with such great cameras we have! and that’s the other end of the issue: the big cameras. I can barely hold my camera with two hands, let...
hash browns.
It’s like learning how to walk again.
Even though I don’t really remember how I felt when I started walking. But I’m sure I fell a shit load of times on my face.
Right now I’m not falling on my face but maybe it would feel better if I did.
Everything I do, everything I see, everything I say reminds me of her. I can now remember stuff I didn’t know I could…...

rip.
There’s no use asking why or how. There’s just that one thing that shatters it all. All hopes, all dreams. There’s no turning around and there’s nothing one can do now unless…not know what to do.
I will miss her so much. I already do.
I know that if she saw me now, she’d tell me something like “stiff upper lip” with a huge smile on her face.

texts.
I enjoy reading very much and it’s too bad that there isn’t enough time in the world to read all the things I want to read…but I try.
The past couple of weeks I read 2 Sveva Casati Modignani books, Il gioco delle verità (the game of truth) and Singolare femminile (unique feminine) and a manga, Cross Game by Mitsuru Adachi.
Sveva’s books are always very nice to read...
photos.
I could talk about days with my father without mentioning my little dead dick photo diary as well.
This one I found it myself, I don’t remember how or why. I just remember how happy fuzzy and warm I felt inside when I saw those pictures, of two young photographers in love.
photos.
Years ago keoshi discovered one of the most amazing photo diaries I’ve seen, days with my father. The diary was the story of a 98 years old young man told by his son, a photographer.
I’m not going to tell you how the life story of this man goes, you have to read it and see it by yourself, I’m writing this today because the book is finally out.

…can’t believe I’m done with school.
can't wait.
My portfolio is done. And my work is also done.
I’m going to miss my students. But I’m hoping to have new students soon. And I can’t wait!
I’m now officially on holidays.
Now it’s the time when I have all the time in my hands and got so many things I wanna do that I end up doing none. yeah…
Right now I’m gonna: have my dinner, watch a movie, update...

lookbook newbie.
My first look shot was taken by keoshi in Lisbon.
This was an overwhelming week. First cancer, then a stroke, then I had to go to Lisbon for a contest with my students… the great thing about this was that me and keoshi got to spend a nice weekend together, eating loads of sushi and watching Iron Man 2.
I think I fell in love with the sexiness of Scarlett Johansson in this movie...

I got a lookbook account!
I’ve been wanting one for ages now, but I never really asked for an invite to someone else - because I always thought was weird. But yesterday, I e-mailed Caitlin, who also has a lookbook account, and asked for an invite! alas! I got it!
I love her looks and I specially like this one:
Love the lace body. ^_^
So, anyway, I didn’t find my black...
suddenly.
Suddenly the pink color on my nails was too pink, the light coming from the window was too bright, the air I was breathing was too cold, the phone on my hand was too heavy.
Cancer is the 21st century epidemic. I’ve come to terms with this long ago, thinking that I’d probably die of some type of cancer no matter how healthy I ate or how much I exercised… There are just too many...
colors
I went to sephora the other day and bought 2 new colors for my nails!
Blue and bright red (the one behind the yellow).
I also bought quite a few things for summer on pull&bear.
the striped red scarf, the striped t-shirt and the white pants. I also bought 2 other t-shirts, a very cute one featuring a vintage pepsi bottle and another one that I’ll have to save for a another post....
dear john.
The other day I bought ‘dear john’ by Nicholas Sparks.
The love story, beautiful. The novel, meh.
I’m not going to write much about it because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but I do wanna say that besides the fact that the reader can really feel the love between the characters and it’s a beautiful love story, everything else is just… predictable.

week off.
I’ve been wanting to write forever but I couldn’t find the time. Now I got at least 3 different things I want to go over ^_^ I got a week off! So I’m now at keoshi’s place, in the city where he goes to college. During this week there’s a huge amount of partying going on, to celebrate…I don’t really know what they celebrate, honestly. For years I’ve...

behind.
Getting back to teaching was a complete reality check. I started thinking about everything and I noticed that I got like a month of teaching and then that’s it. Then what? I have to start sending cvs, and I have to search for my masters elsewhere (just found one out in Cambridge, which is awwwesome!). I’m really behind with work and I need to get back in track.
The other day keoshi...
back to the real world.
Since I got back to Portugal on Sunday, I’ve done nothing but miss Paris.
My room is a complete mess, and I need to work and study - I got an entire 2 months of teaching on a full schedule and I start next Tuesday at 8.15 am, which is just lovely.
Other than missing Paris and worry about being behind with lesson plans, I’ve also been plotting a new project with keoshi. We just came...
a japanese experience in Paris.
Today we got up early and headed out for breakfast at…*drum rolls* Café des 2 Moulins! that’s right the famous Amélie café! xD The best 20€ of my life (ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit.xP )! The experience was wonderful, though… Loved the whole atmosphere.
Café au lait, pain au chocoloat et jus d’orange pressed, pour moi, Chocolat chaud,croissant et jus...
rainy day.
Of course it had to rain while we were here, of course. But it didn’t really matter anyway!
When the alarm went off at 8.30 am I wasn’t feeling very well - probably from all the unexpected cold from yesterday - which was a set back for us. We ran our way to Notre Dame to meet with Mike, but after 40 mins walking in a very briskly way, we got there and couldn’t find Mike...
effortlessly.
This city is effortlessly fashionable. It’s amazing how everywhere you look there’s girls and guys with awesome styles and clothes and they look awesome.
We woke up early in the morning and head out for a croissant for breakfast. The place was so cute and inviting that we just went in!
After having had breakfast we walked around, arriving to the Jardin des Tuileries for a nice...

in Paris!
We’re in Paris and so very tired.
Today was all about the airport and finding a nice place to have dinner - We did find it! it was a nice italian place that served really nice food!
I really don’t have good photos to show because the place’s light was very little, but it was very very good!
bruschetta, penne and tagliatelle, wine and tiramisu. delicious.
that’s me in...
less than 24h.
In less than 24h I’ll leave to Paris.
I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out if I forgot to pack something, if I should take an extra pair of jeans or of shoes or…. uugh.
Also the weather isn’t looking great in Paris and so I need to take warm clothes and yeah… ¬_¬
need sleep.

shopping spr...ing!
I’m officially on spring break! yay!
So I did say I was off to buy a few things…! I bought the really cute slim fit (very) blue jeans which I adore - they look great and were cheaper than usual;
a t-shirt with a very kawaii maneki neko, the lucky japanese cat, that is often seeing waving it’s paw at the entrance of restaurants or stores as a welcome.
There were lots of...
6days.
oh what a weird day I had today… I was bummed out all freaking day and I don’t even know why. It’s tiring.
I found out Air France might be going into strike for 4 days from the 28th… Since our flight is on the 31st…eeerrr… ¬_¬ I don’t want to think about it.
aaand this is my 365days photo of the day! I upload it like 2 mins after midnight…internet...
