September 2013. I got in Communication Sciences in the FCSH-UNL, so I moved out of my parent's house to start to live in Lisbon, in a student residence. This is the view from my bedroom window.

Novembro 2013 - "A Dama do Intendente" in Algés
August, 2013 - I and Rose went to a disco and we stayed there till 7 a.m and then we went to the beach by motorcycle and went back home at 14 p.m. It was awesome.
2013 - M., 22 years-old, not my soul mate, unfortunately
July 12, 2013. I went with M.M. to a cafe, where we lunched and talked about nothing and everything, and then we walked a little and went to a park, where we kissed and did just that for a long time, and we ended up seeing a movie, the monsters in the university, which was very funny. He payed the lunch and the cinema, which I had truly appreciate. It was a good time.

July 6, 2013 - This was my outfit to my prom dress. It was nothing as I imagined, but I still had fun.

So, I made 3 christmas greeting cards:
» that one with a tree trimmed with cotton and the red letters (Bom Natal is Merry Christmas in portuguese)
* the one with a reindeer and two yellow stards and "Merry Christmas" in purple
» and the one with many reindeer and stars
And then I sent the things you can see in the picture to four friends of mine
3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

I don't know really. Perhaps because society forces us to do certain things and indeed, is important to do things we don't like, so that we can afford to do what we want. I don't like tests, for example, but for me to be a Reporter (and I want it badly) I've to take a course and I've to do hundreds of tests. Also it is normal we like things that we don't do, 'cause there isn't time for everything (or money). I like traveling, but I have no money to do so, and I like surf, but I don't know how to do it. And to make things I like, before I need to do things I don't like. So when I find myself, I ended up doing more things that I don't like than things I like. Anyway, this thought is sad, but I don't believe there is a way to give back to.

2. which is worse, failing or never trying? » by far: never trying. if you don't take risks (and i don't like to take risks, though), you never know what could have happened and live in uncertainty is one of the saddest thing i can remember now. if you don't try, you lose. if you try, you can win and that possibility is already gold... for me, at least.
"gato que brincas na rua
como se fosse na cama
invejo a sorte que é tua
porque nem sorte se chama

bom servo das leis fatais
que regem pedras e gentes
que tens instintos gerais
e sentes só o que sentes

és feliz porque és assim
todo o nada que és é teu
eu vejo-me e estou sem mim
conheço-me e não sou eu."
» fernando pessoa (portuguese poet)

1. how old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
» i just don't know, really - people of my age say that i'm kinda a old soul, 'cause i have more common sense than most, but my parents seem to think that i'm a child, 'cause i just do whatever i want and it seems i give a shit for anything, and for me that's not true, i'm worried about every single thing, but sometimes i'm just too lazy (and i don't like housework). therefore, may depend on the situation i find myself.
