First of all, Happy New Year everyone! Let's hope 2011 will bring us good prospects, either professional or private life. Many new projects, new enhancements, new good things in life above anything.
Expectations for 2011? I don't know. I don't even want to think about it. The only thing I wish the most is to be a lot better than last year. It was a good year, finished my college degree, found an amazing person... But still it was the darkest year in my life. I miss my grandmas.
So yeah, I hope 2011 brings me peace, tranquility. That's all I ask for =)
Soundtrack of the moment, first of many from 2011.
I just got the cutest little Christmast tree ever!
Tonight I made dinner to my closest friends, we played Monopoly, laughed our asses out and had an amazing warm evening, even though it's freezing outside. It's the closest to the definition of "family" we can get, while we're at Lisbon. I love you, girls*
This is the result of a totally improvised photoshoot, including myself and my friend Anne Marie. At first we were just fooling around, and then she wanted the real deal. So here's the result, or at least just a sneak peak.
This is me, shot by Anne.
Anne.
And here we are.
Now talking about another matter. Some months ago I posted something about 30 Seconds to Mars and what their intentions might be towards the world. I still believe they criticize the Elites and try to ironicly put that into lyrics. Well... it is really explicit in the new album, actually. They are not afraid, that's for sure, and thank God for these people.
The song that bothered me the most in this matter, from the new album "This is War", is "Hurricane". The lyrics are so explicit and yet confusing that I really didn't know what to think of it and what opinion I had about those guys. Finally, the video is out and thankfully it's another short film! It clears all the doubts I had, and I'm glad and proud to say it's a relief. They don't even insert the Kanye West part in the film... That must mean something, right?
But still, like once someone told me "Keep your head down, but beware."
Oh by the way... They use "Escape" in the beggining and "Night of the Hunter" around the minute 8:00. Combining with "Hurricane" makes my three favourite themes of that album, all together in one video. That's sweet!
So here's the short filme "Hurricane", by 30 Seconds to Mars.
They are having a show in Lisbon, 16th December. Guess who's going... alone or not, I don't care. I need to watch them live with this new work.
It's my Birthday! And thanks to the country's bad economy and even worse government, people went on freakin STRIKE today, including transportation. No subway, no bus, no nothing. So I just stayed at home, with the best company ever... =)
A year has passed, and I never experienced a year with so much changes like this one, either good or bad. The end of a long relationship, founding someone more than special when less expecting, the loss of two of my dearest people - my loving grandmas - which I terribly miss, especially on this important day.
My graduation and staring my Master's Degree. Even changing to a new room in my apartment was a nice change to me, and I just remembered I have to take a picture of it someday... my bad.
Meeting new people that instantly became my friends, special and cool people.
Watched Muse for the second time (yes... it's that important).
Watched dolphins on their natural habitat.
There's still no Birthday picture, since all I did was watching movies with my bf and just relax a little bit. This feels like a lazy sunday... We were supposed to go on a date, but since the transportation is all messed up we decided to go tomorrow. =) It's still a surprise... He's taking me. yaaayy
So the new picture will come tomorrow. I promisse.
It was a nice day though... I want to thank all the people that remembered my special day. Phone calls, text messages, Facebook messages, everything. Thanks everyone. It really means a lot to me. I love you*
