The Face in the Mirror

(I hope that you'll like it! ;) But don't think that I act like this =P)

When I see my face in the mirror
My world starts to clash
Like if I had the power to break it into small pieces.
I don't like what I see,
It's just a face without any emotions.
Is it really mine the face that you reflect?
Or is it just an illusion of my mind?

The Beginning of the 2nd Semester

Hi!!! =)

Here we are on the 2nd Semester! Did you enjoy the vacacions? Are you excited for this next semester?

My vacations were a little bit "lazy". Lol I didn't do the things that I wanted to because I was too lazy for that! I stayed in Lisbon and, when I wasn't with my boyfriend, I was in front of the computer doing silly things. =) But I enjoyed them a lot, I needed them (I was already tired of the exams and assessments)

Now I'm totally fresh for this 2nd Semester. And we started our first English class very well! As we have new colleages that are from Italy, we "played" a game: we had to walk around the room in any direction that we wanted and, when our teacher clapped her hands, we made a pair with a person that was nearest to you. Fortunately, in one of that times, I met Martina - she´s Italian, lives near Venice (I don't remember very well) and she's studying International Relationships. She also said that she loves Lisbon and want to stay there for a long time.

During the game, I also talked to a girl (I think that her name is Maria João and she's from Canada) about cats. She has two cats but she doesn't have time to take care of them and, because of that, her cats are doing things like pooping in the bathroom, and so on. It's sad because she may have to give them away to another person. I love cats, they're so funny and cute! Some people have the idea that cats are bad animals that hurt everyone. They only do that when they're playing with us (they don't control it) or they want to grab themselves to us being afraid of falling. They're great companions. I know that because my boyfriend has two female cats (one has 7 years-old, the other has only 5 months) and they're adorable. I too was afraid of them but now I've changed my mind. But it's true that they pass all the time sleeping! And they only sleep in sunny or comfortable places like beds or sofas. =P Here are their photo! The oldest one is called Lira and the other is called Maggie.

London Town - An Actual Journal

15th January - Day 1

First stop: Russell Square. The moment I 'escaped' from the underground, I saw... Tesco Express!! And 'my' hotel was literally just around the corner too... lol... =p
I stayed there for the rest of the day, seeing as I arrived at 4.00pm...

16th January - Day 2

Had breakfast at 8.00am and quickly ran off to Leicester Square! I must confess that a song called 'Walk of Life' made me really, really want to visit that place... so yeah... I really had to go there.
Next; Knightsbridge! The Harrods... just wow!
Before going to Canary Wharf, I took a look at the Buckingham Palace.
And then...
First things first; time to eat. Went to Nando's, some restaurant (not bad... yet somehow odd...)
Oh, I noticed that there's also the David Beckham Academy nearby! Which is cool.
At 6.30pm, inside the O2 Arena at last... and, two hours later, the unforgettable Spice Girls concert begins!! I sang, jumped and clapped so much... it was fantastic! Returned to the hotel at about midnight, starving, my poor little feet aching a lot. But it was all worth it~

17th January - Day 3

I woke up kind of later than usual, but went to the Madam Tussaud's Museum, in Baker Street, nonetheless! In a word: amazing. Took some photos with... Daniel Radcliffe! Sylvester Stallone! Leonardo DiCaprio! Nicole Kidman! Tom Cruise!

Aaaaah, if only they weren't made of wax...

Later on, I had some dinner... and got a couple of extra Lucozade bottles to bring to Portugal... there IS no Lucozade here...

18th January - Day 4

What else can I say? I came back home, it's over now, I really hope I do this again? Indeed. And besides, travelling by plane is fun. =)

Use... ;)

Talk Talk!

It's so cute! =)
