This weekend I rediscovered that I like watching japanese dramas, and with tthis discovery came the memory of a song from one of the first dramas I saw <a href="http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Hana_Yori_Dango"><i>Hana Yori Dango</i></a>. The title song for the second season was the song that I am posting today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really like the whole ambience of the song, for the the violins to the softeness of her voice and <a href="http://akaiyubi.wordpress.com/2007/01/18/utada-hikaru-flavor-of-life-lyrics/">lyrics</a> are... :) Enjoy.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is amazing how their music still felt fresh to me. It has been awhile since I know them and these musics mostly take me back to the late 90s/early 2000s, which means my late teenage and the beginning of my college years.</div>

Not in the sense of making you do the things that they want you to do, but in how you feel. Today I am exhausted. For the past month I have been making an effort to move forward in my work, in not letting others push me or at least delay me. And everything was going more or less well, I was pushing myself but I felt that it was paying off. However, the person that should be helping me moving forward, guiding me, seems to only increase the chaos in my life, changing his mind every other day. In wanting everything for yesterday that person makes it impossible for me finish what I am doing. And then wants everything finished and done, with no loose ends... It makes me feel has if I am not trying enough...</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm tired... </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wow, they seem to go by faster and faster these days. :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, I did not make any big resolutions, I just hope that I am able to get the most out of all the challenges that are put before me, so that I keep on growing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">During the past year I have been mostly focused on the negative things, on how tired I feel, on how unfair things are and that people do not appreciate my efforts. I really have to put this attitude behind me. It will not take me anywhere. So I think that is one of my resolutions for this year, face things straight on and do not hide behind "others". :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">See you around.</div>Tamurilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12307846681452699790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837656193424563783.post-69569948791539467372011-12-28T14:45:00.001+00:002011-12-28T14:46:14.902+00:00hmm...<div style="text-align: justify;">I just listened to this song and decided to share it, just because...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
It reminds me of my childhood, of times gone by. I cannot say that they where happier times, but somehow now (today, at this moment) they seem. I think most people always look at their childhood as an happier time, maybe because when we are kids we are more innocent and able to see joy in the smallest things. It would be good if sometimes we would still be able to time to time see life that way. I know that we have to become not so trusting and naïve to go through life, but... it's still sad that growing up means losing such a wonderful gift.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, here goes:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rod Stewart - Have I Told You Lately That I Love You (Unplugged)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AQ4NAZPi2js" width="420"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Credits to <a class="yt-user-name author" dir="ltr" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Shamara011061" rel="author"> Shamara011061</a> @ <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a></span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Only today I discovered that this song was not written by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Stewart">Rod Stewart</a>, but by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Morrison">Van Morrison</a>. :) </div>Tamurilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12307846681452699790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837656193424563783.post-85159970107004795022011-12-24T18:17:00.003+00:002011-12-24T18:20:41.637+00:00Happy Holidays!!This year I didn't make any postcard... sorry...<br />

So why did I not do it?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maybe because I am a proud person and I do not like to admit that I feel like I am not doing as good as I think I should be doing. I do not like to doubt myself, and I have done that so often in the past years. (How could we think as teenagers that life was easier as adults?!) So actually writing it down is difficult, despite also being a quite relieving action. When I am troubled I tend to close myself up more than usual, it is a mechanism of defence... </div><div style="text-align: justify;">There were times that I thought of things and considered them interesting to post, but eventually I would dismiss them for a number of reasons. Being the most prominent one laziness and the second one to think that it was exposing to much. The funny thing is that this blog was created for me to write about what troubled me, how I felt at the time. It also has had the purpose of sharing experiences and things I like, but it was mostly to put my thoughts out in the world. And the latter has been the least done. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am my own editor. And what a fearsome editor am I...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, you can say that one of the main reasons that I have no been posting is that I been to troubled and stressed with life...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A random fact in 15 days I'll be 30... Doesn't wisdom come with age?</div>Tamurilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12307846681452699790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837656193424563783.post-78300962139027435542011-05-15T22:08:00.001+01:002011-05-15T22:46:51.529+01:00Long Time, No See...<div style="text-align: justify;">I will not even count the months that I have been without posting, It's too shameful...</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There isn't much that I can say about that, life has been hectic and there are actually no excuses. :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, today I decided to break my silence to post a song that I discovered sometime ago, but only today I decided to search on YouTube. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div>Hurt - Wonderful Life<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/eAWvNPr6r7k?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">(credits <a class="inline-block" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/PinkiSun" id="watch-username" rel="author"><b>PinkiSun</b></a> @ <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a>)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The visual part of the video reminds me of the 80s. And the music in itself also kind of reminds me of that decade. Maybe that is the reason I like the music, I do quite enjoy 80s music!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maybe it is because of the message:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Don't let go</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Never give up</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>It's a wonderful life</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am not thinking of giving up on life, I do not really work that way. But I have been thinking and rethinking if the choice that I made to go for a PhD was the correct one. It's not that I was expecting it to be easy, it's more that it is not giving me the thrill that I expected it to give. I choose as I always do, I went for what was more appealing to me. However, I also made the easiest choice by going for a project that was more or less already drawn by me supervisor. That does not mean that do not have input, actually I think he would like me to give more. It is just that other than my boss there is no one else that really is experienced in our group, so sometimes support (in basic stuff) is lacking. There is also the question of the other lab members, I do not really feel that we are actually a group... I miss my friends from my "previous life". Work-wise things where not that good, but friend-wise... they where great.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I do not usually give up on the choices that I made. And, even though I am not completely happy with everything and from time to time get quiet depressed about things, I do not really see an actual reason to go back on this one. Meaning that I am going to stick to it and give my best as usual. I just wish that I would not make things so hard on myself by over-thinking everything...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I create expectations and get frustrated when the persons that I care about do not meet them. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do not get scared, getting older and having expectations frustrated time and time again, has thought me to be not to so demanding or at least not to get so frustrated. Even so, there are times that my personality gets the better of me and I create them and get frustrated by them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes life is complicated, by us... </div>Tamurilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12307846681452699790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837656193424563783.post-28402689895221162902010-11-01T00:01:00.000+00:002010-11-01T00:01:36.977+00:00On being me...<div style="text-align: justify;">Lol, this title does sound pretensious...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The other day someone I know made a comment on my personality that I had not heard for awhile, but that is not a rare comment:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"You like to isolate yourself. I do not agree with that." (or something close to this).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Basically this person, as (so many) others, disagrees with me doing things by myself. Or putting in another way, with the fact that I only count on me for doing stuff that I want to do. I like going to the cinema, for walks, shopping and other stuff. And if I have no one to do this things with I will go by myself and enjoy myself. Most people find this strange, and they have no problems in telling me this to my face. As if because I do things differently from most people I am the one in the wrong...</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am not saying that this is the correct way of living. It is just my way.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I may not agree, or think is healthy, to completely depend on others to do stuff, but I do not go around criticizing people for this. I may have in occasions told someone that it would be good for them to try and be by themselves for awhile. But I do not tell them that I do not like the way they live their lives.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, why do these persons think they can tell me these kind of things?! Is there really a single way of living your live?!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I think not!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I agree that I am basically a solitary person, and admit that occasionally I do feel lonely. However, I am comfortable with myself and in the end that is what matters.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Life is solitary journey. We are born and die by ourselves. (I do not mean with no one around us, but that these are things that can only be experienced by oneself.) Each one of us as a very particular way to perceive the world. Some people are better at conveying their thoughts than others. These are the ones that are socially more successful. I am not one of those persons, and I am cool with that. It was not always like this.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">P.S. - I do like having friends and I appreciate the ones I have.</div>Tamurilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12307846681452699790noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837656193424563783.post-39957019714795568452010-09-13T23:23:00.002+01:002010-09-13T23:23:54.572+01:00Life...Sometimes takes us be surprise...

When I decided to that this was going to be the next step in my life I already knew there would be hectic times, with little self time or worse with little time for others. However, when these kind of times come it is always tough. I feel like I am falling short of what I am capable of doing... I know I have so much stuff to do, that I feel increasingly frustrated with the fact that the day only has 24h and that I really need to sleep...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
And the fun part is that IT ONLY JUST BEGUN...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You know whta the solution is? Vacations... I so need some right now...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The was the rant of the day/night...</div>Tamurilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12307846681452699790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837656193424563783.post-31561293245597226232010-06-06T21:09:00.001+01:002010-06-06T21:11:38.144+01:00Time goes by... :)Be warned: This post is going to be a mix of things...<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">First, I am already 29 y.o. and a week (;p). Wow.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
You would not believe if I told you that just this friday a guy tried to pick me up at the metro when I was returning home. This is not the unbeliveable thing, I hope.. But that he asked me my age and told me to my face that he thought that I was 18/19 y.o.... He either was so keen in having some luck that he fooled himself to believe that I was young and naïve or was further pushing is luck by trying to flatter me. Though I think it was the former, he asked me the strangest questions, such as if I was going home, where did I live, if lived with my parents or by myself, if I wanted to friends with him (who I had just met)... As if I was going any of this questions to a stranger... I was both amused and shocked.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Actually, I have been told that I look younger than my age, but I really think its pushing a bit to much to say that I look 10 years younger...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So this was the part dedicated to time concerning my age. I will not address the typical issues. Sometimes I do not even believe that I will be 30 in a year, but I do not really think that I would want to go back to college or even teenagehood.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The second part concerns another measure of time, the one related to relative time. How things that sometimes occurred long ago seem recent or things that are recent appear to be from a somewhat distant past. A few moments back, while I was surfing the internet I decided to go to a certain artist site/blog/whatever. This artist is named Van Ness Wu, that I got to know through a taiwanese drama that I watch a while back. He happens to also be a singer and a heck of a dancer (guys who CAN dance just kill me...). Not so long ago he released a Japanese single, that I got addicted to when I started reading stuff for my thesis project and during February I replayed this song all the time. But I have not listen to it for awhile know, and today I decided to listn to it again. And it seemed that that period of time was so long ago that I was surprised, only 3/4 months have passed...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Having said all this I decided to share is song with you guys.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

(more or less) running. Actually, I did not forget this time (I've put a warning on my cellphone, lol), but I did not feel like writing. Also, no cool subject came to mind.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, why am I writing today? During the day while chatting with my Sis online, she was listening to a Portuguese Radio. It seems that they where in a mood for memory lane and, consequently so was she. As usual she decided to share some of them with me. One of which that I decided to share with you all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I actually thought that this song was not has old as it is. Its from 1989... uau... But it is a fun song. Enjoy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I' ashamed... Almost two months without posting (and the blog police has been mum about this, which surprises me more...).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Life has been hectic these past 2 months, too many hours working. I know that it was my choice, but I still have the right to complain about it. So I am bit on the tired side, and that means either lack of inspiration or lack of wanting to come here and write. Right now I am writing so I can proscratinate a bit more, I have something to do for work... :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In order to completely succeed in my proscratination, I decided to share some music with you guys. I remembered this music in particular because of a CD that was given to me about 4 year a go by a good friend with whom I have been out of touch (Hope that everything is alright with you?). This CD is a compilation of albuns that he thought I might enjoy, among them there are two of Zero 7. One of my favourite song of them is Destiny, that I decided to share with you:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I know that this is a bit late but still: Happy Birthday, SIS!! :D</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Like last year she came Home to celebrate her birthday with her family, and she was with us on the actual day. Thank You. :) Considering that I am working this time around, the two of us did not spend as much time as usual together, but we did manage something. One of which was going to the movies this Thursday, one of our favorite activities. She really wanted to go see <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1403981/">Remember Me</a> with Robert Pattinson, that came out on that day. Originally we talked about going to the 9 o'clock session, but the tickets sold out. So we decided to go to the midnight session, which ended at 2 o´clock in the morning. Call me crazy if you want, I called myself that, knowing that I had to be up by 7 o'clock in the morning the next day... Oh well...</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Tired as I have been feeling lately I was afraid I would fall a sleep in the theater, but... Actually the movie was pretty good in my opinion. Yes, Robert Pattinson once again portrays a revolted young (in The Twilight Saga is not has young has he looks, but still young) man, which suits him like a glove. The boy really has the ability to express that type of inner turmoil as if he was honestly feeling it. But that is the only "similarity" I could find. It is not a teen movie, it has romance but not of the <strike>(obsessive</strike>) fated-to-love-ever-since-I-set-my-eyes-on-you-until-the-moment-I-die kind. It is of the type where two people share similar traumatic events that allow them to comprehend each other without the need for words. The movie shows us how by finding this person, Robert's character (Tyler) is able to come to peace with his trauma and mend is relationship with is Father. Another important aspect is the beautiful relationship between Tyler and his (much) younger sister, it was one of my favorites. Now, comes the warning: the film is a real tear jerker and the ending is sort of unexpected. You have been warned, now go see it. lol</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">I just have one thing to mention in a not so good side. There is a scene in which Tyler and his Father (portrayed by Pierce Brosnan) are having an argument and I did not like Pierce Brosnan's performance during it... I was surprised by it, I usually do not have any complaint about Pierce Brosnan's work, but it felt too artificial, too strained and his accent sounded phony (which it was because he is Irish). But that is really the only thing that I have to mention.</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">A side note: The only time that I really feared to fall a sleep was during the break, specially when the lights went out and the movie took about 15 to 20s to start...<br />
<br />
P.S. - The movie as had some really bad critics specially because of the ending, but I really think you should go and see it for yourself and then come to a conclusion. </div>Tamurilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12307846681452699790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837656193424563783.post-27978917496467319162010-03-03T23:06:00.000+00:002010-03-03T23:06:32.893+00:00Back in the Lab<div style="text-align: justify;">After 1 year and almost 1 month, today I was finally back in the lab. wow</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And actually... it was kind of boring... lol</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Usually, the first few days are always like this. You have to fellow people around to know how things work in the lab, which techniques you are going to use and how they apply them. Basically, you are dependent of others. Things start getting fun when you are independent and organize your own work and time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, even though things are kindda slow now and I am trying to learn as much as I can, I am more excited than it may seem from what I have written. I'm happy to back in a lab.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Which me luck! :)</div>Tamurilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12307846681452699790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837656193424563783.post-85641707995342553482010-02-26T22:23:00.002+00:002010-02-26T22:24:35.249+00:00I do not consider myself a feminist, but...... there are things that are beyond my comprehension. And this is one of them (<span style="font-size: x-small;">please click on the picture to enlarge and read the text</span>):<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I know that we are talking about a completely different decade. the World was a completely different place in the 1960s. But still, to me, it is shocking to see something like this written and to actually acknowledge that this was the kind of role that was expected from women at that time: unopiniated, obedient, complaint to your husband's wills (whatever they are) and untitled to even feel pleasure... wow...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">And I think that I will leave you with that, because I might start exposing my opinion too fiercely...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

So, I decided to share both versions and the lyrics. Unfortunately I have not found the translation and I lack the confidende to do it myself (I am a Biology major not an English major..., but I might try to persuade my Sister... hihihi).</div><br />

que tu tens o meu olhar<br />

à espera de se fechar<br />
nessa tua mão deser- ta<br />

vem que o amor<br />
não é o tempo<br />
nem é o tempo<br />
que o faz<br />
vem que o amor<br />
é o momento<br />
eu que eu me dou<br />
em que te dás<br />
tu que buscas companhia<br />
e eu que busco quem quiser<br />
ser o fim desta energia<br />
ser um corpo de prazer<br />
ser o fim de mais um di - a<br />

tu continuas à espera<br />
do melhor que já não vem<br />
e a esperança fio encontrada<br />

e eu sou melhor que na - da<br />

Lyrics (credits to <a href="http://www.mutemathweb.com/lyrics.php">mute math web</a>):<br />
<br />
Everyone has their obsession<br />
Consuming thoughts, consuming time<br />
They hold high their prized posession<br />
That defines the meaning of their lives<br />
<br />
You are mine<br />
You are mine<br />
You are mine, oh mine<br />
You are mine<br />
<br />
There are objects of affection<br />
That can mesmerize the soul<br />
There is always one addiction<br />
That just cannot be controlled<br />
<br />
You are mine<br />
You are mine<br />
You are mine, oh mine<br />
You are mine<br />
<br />
Everyone has their obsession<br />
Consuming thoughts, consuming time<br />
They hold high their prized posession<br />
They hold high their prized posession<br />

To be honest it was not easy to return to having to wake up really early and to the lack of time to myself. Besides all that the weather has been really crappy and the hormones were at their best at the beginning of the week... Sometimes I feel sorry for who ever crosses my path during these days, because most of time I am unaware of the state I am in, becoming really really short tempered and needing a LOT of personal space. But well, that has passed now, I am stressed but for other reasons. Hmm, the reasons are the same but just do not seem so disproportioned has they did on Monday (or Tuesday or Wednesday). </span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I do have another reason to stress though, I seem to have misplaced something very important and do not seem able to remember where I might I have put it... Usually, I am very careful with these kind of things, but it is the second object, in the space of a week, that I do not remember where I might have put it and this one is really important...</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">On a brighter note, yesterday I bought my ticket to Metallica's concert in May. It had to be for the second day, because I took to long to buy it the first day sold out... Which means that I will probably go by myself again to a concert, since most the people I know bought their tickets for the first day...</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">And this was just another random post for your entertainment.. :)</span><br />
