HOLLYWOODLAND trailer

This week a bit influenced by my Scottish flatmate I went to the movies to see this film…. based on a true story about the first SUPERMAN ever...
I liked because not only I didn’t have any idea about the mysterious death of the first superman in History but also this movie brought up to my mind other doubtful deaths like Marlin Monroe, Jon Kennedy, Princes Diana etc...
We ended up having a quite interesting chat about our points of view ...quite interesting I must say :)

The New BOND!

CASINO ROYALE - 007

Although not the type of movie that I can classify as my cup of tea ....I kind of had fun..

Beeing the sort of movie that fills in the entire theater room even on a Sunday evening...and beeing aware of all the obvious consequences concerning this fact, like: gigelings all the time... people chewing their popcorns like if they 're Obelix eating turkey... and siping their Coke ... like if there was no tomorrow...etc.

Despite all this at the end of the day, I went home singing James Bond soundtrack ... that's what it counts... all inspired !!

Ahh!! Also gave me good idea of the kind of dress I would like to have for this year Moody's Christmas party . That pink dress was just fabulous!!!

Just a curiosity: This movie stared on the 14th November in Leicester Square and amongst the audience was The Duque of Edimburh and Queen Elizabeth who has recentletly declined most of her royal duties because of her illness... ehehe
She told the press she wouldn't miss it for nothing and that she's 007 number one fun.

Mariza - Barco Negro (Dark Boat) (LIve in London)

My favorit FADO singer...

Mariza - Ó Gente da Minha Terra (Oh People of My Land)

This is FADO, for the one´s that don´t know what is fado all about ... I leave this sample... Ohhhh I feel nostalgic...

I like fashion in general ...I am shoppaholic when buying clothes and shoes and accessories and all those girly things is concerned.... Actually think I could survive days in a shopping centre without food, no water ... as long as I am in girls clothes shops Iwould be fine... just losing track of time .... In clothes shops hours can be just like minutes... Sorry guys I know this drives you crazy ...but I can’t help it... really like it... me and 90% of the feminine Universe I guess. This doesn´t mean of course that I will definatly buy something ... cause I might end up concluding that in a particular day there was nothing special out there for me... Well all this bla bla bla to tell you... that My aussie flatmate’s sister has a fashion shop for clothes, accessories, all sort of things, in Sydey. I had a look and it looks she has very cool things... I like the style... and I am already thinking of buying an awesome handbag and maybe asking my flatie to bring it back to me from Australia... to save some time!! GIRLS ... have a look ... You can buy on-line. The web site is: http://www.uo.com.au/

"It takes two people to make a lie work ... ...the person who tells it and the one who believes it" JODI PICOULT in her new book "Vanishing Acts"

Rua Sésamo (Sesame Street)- Ginasticar (gym)

Last weekend went to the movies

Portugal also has them.... ehehhe
I confess I prefer the red English ones tought...

CAFFE NERO


I am getting completely addicted to have my first coffee in the morning at "Caffe Nero". Realized that when the barista started to say before I could say anything: "Regular Cappuccino with chocolate on the top take away?"
"Yep.." I say...


Also they have this cards in which they put a stamp for each coffee we drink and at the tenth stamp we get an free coffee.... sometimes they have promotions for exhibitions on theaters etc...

The thing is that it's becoming a kind of ritual from which I hardly can escape from .... it looks to me that there is no other coffee that can make my day start well by helping in the difficult to task to keeping me awake.
I tried to have one at home or even doing it in the office...Ok ok it can be psychological...but it's not the same..
All mornings a cup of Nero nearby the computer screen avoids my struggle against sleepiness...

Sometimes I also get a muffin or a vanila waffer(delicious)...eheheh Ohh diet diet!!

Thanks NERO...

A weekend of great movies...

The art of auto-criticism

Not everyone has the ability to make a good joke about themselves, point out the dark parts.

You need extra dose of confidence and to be able to be the first to criticize yourself.

Well I think when it comes to have a laugh making fun of themselves, English people certainly win...

Well-known for their British humor and they do have the merit.I saw this witty funny postcards being sold in a souvenir shop, and I thought it might be interesting to share them with you…

The Scissor Sisters Get the Red Out

The Scissor with Motorola painted yesterday London's Trafalgar Square 'Red' on Saturday. The group played a gig in honor of the Bono-sponsored charity campaign (Product) Red, which is aimed at getting consumers and corporations involved in the fight against AIDS in Africa. I had a really great time. Dragqueens, Punks, etc.. everywhere. A different atmatmosphere invaded Trafalgar Sq. The hightest moment was at the end when a group of fans entered Trafalgar´s fountains...and the group got crazy such enthusiasm and played 2 more songs... It was a big show.

In the night,

in the night, fever...

Saturday night fever, a movie that is undoubtedly an icon of the 70's. One of the movies with the best quotes ever... and the soundtrack .just hilarious... Jon Travolta at his best... with his massive hair and his fashionable clothes... and the way he moves ... eh eh eh ... apparently could drive any girl at that time crazy. What a cool bloke!!

Why good movies always start late in the night ... It was really cool to stay in the living room with all the flatmates... no seats left in the couch... till 2:30 am.

Yep ... It’s 11:00 am and I confess I am struggling to keep me awake at my job... ehehe. Still think it worthed for all the fun... well maybe I'll have a different opinion later in the afternoon.

Prague Holidays in Prague I can´t wait... I am so excited ... I am really flying to Prague and meet "my dear Portuguese friends" ... It´s going to be great fun.

Trip To Canterbury 'There is no lovelier place in the world...and I have seen Venice too.' - Virginia Woolf [1904] I really liked it too... it´s a small village with one of the most important english cathedrals ... very cosy... I learnt that in the cathedral there are even songs (religious music set in a room where people are suppossed to pray) ... I almost got into one and... Thanks God I didn´t.... it lasts 45 minuts ..and gess what? nobody can leave the room before the end... YAP...they lock the place... Odd isn´t it?

Canterbury, England's most famous cathedral city of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and now a UNESCO world heritage site sits on the River Stour in one of the most attractive corners of rural Kent.

It is easily reached by road, rail or sea, and has been welcoming visitors for thousands of years.
