Time for bed, but not before a brief post... :)

Sometimes I feel like I'm back to my school days as a kid, when I prepared everything for the following day in advance and had to check in to bed early... 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...

And the fun part is that IT ONLY JUST BEGUN...

You know whta the solution is? Vacations... I so need some right now...

The was the rant of the day/night...

Time goes by... :)

Be warned: This post is going to be a mix of things...

First, I am already 29 y.o. and a week (;p). Wow.

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.

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...

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.

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...

Having said all this I decided to share is song with you guys.

3rd year of existence and other stuff

Yesterday marked the third year that this blog has been up and... (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.

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.

I actually thought that this song was not has old as it is. Its from 1989... uau... But it is a fun song. Enjoy.

Long time no see...

I know... I' ashamed... Almost two months without posting (and the blog police has been mum about this, which surprises me more...).

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... :)

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:

Remember Me

My "Baby" Sister completed her (1)26th birthday 8 days ago. I know that this is a bit late but still: Happy Birthday, SIS!! :D

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 Remember Me 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...

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 (obsessive) 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

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.

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...

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.
