Morre. Esperança. Morre.

Morre. Esperança . Morre

Enche-nos o coração de ilusões. Ficámos á espera do improvável. Faz com que a realidade seja mais dura. Tira-me sono. Fico acordada pela noite dentro a dar vida mental ás minha esperanças e depois a enterrá-las e acordo rabugenta. A esperança conduz á expectativa e a expectativa á desilusão. Nada acontece como esperamos…e as pessoas, essas então, nunca agem como é suposto, com essas não vale a pena ter esperança. Maldita cultura portuguesa que cultiva a esperança …esperança que D. Sebastião nos venha salvar. Está morto e devia tê-la levado com ele.

Dizem que as melhores coisas acontecem quando menos se espera.

Então morre esperança. Morre.

Why settle for less if you can have everything?

I always been of opinion that most of the success in life was a matter of luck...and I always will! In the way that our society works it's not about just talent anymore. Deep down I think we all wish and look for success, the recognition of the value of our work and of course a good payout, if possible. But to what extent is this important? I look at professional successful people that I know and most of them left behind their values, their feelings, their happiness...They live a solitary life, without no one by their side to share their conquers with because they aren't able to have any relationship besides the one they have with their work. They end up getting involve with people that don't complete them just because their afraid to admit their alone, so they develop a series of empty relationships. They spend all their lives building a legacy, of which their proud of, and for what? So they don't have anybody to share it with at the end? To realize that they could have had it all if they weren't so greedy and so self absorbed, that sometimes it takes courage to take chances and to make some sacrifices to be happy, because money and success, they come and go...feelings and the bounds we make with people that's what keep us living, hoping and dreaming. People are wick...they prefer to go with the easy way and focus on only one aspect in their lives but life is made of several aspects and the secret to happiness is in the balance between them and in the sharing. If life was easy it wouldn't be pretty. And whoever decides to trade this for an ephemeral second of success, yes because everything is ephemeral, is not worthy of dreaming!

My special place

Hello hearters! Welcome to my special place: my bedroom. Enjoy!

So I have a white board to write down important stuff so I won't forget, since I'm such an airy person. I also use it to study for exams using my awesome method: pretending I'm a teacher for my exquisite bright invisible class! It never fails, give it a try! But most of the time, as you can see, I use it to draw, nothing fancy and it as always something to do with my mood or feelings.

I have a studio room in my apartment, but my room isthe best place for inspiration, since I feel so comfy in it, so I end up doing most of my work in my bed. To stop the back pain it was giving to me and since I didn't have much room left I chose to make a small folding work station. There's my gay 15" Macbook Pro, my iGhost ( i can't work without music), my markers and my moleskine.

I like do draw and to do some illustration. No big deal, just makes me happy. Sometimes I give my stuff as a gift to special people. Drawing and writing are too very personal things for me. I put a lot of myself in it: my dreams, my fears, my feelings, my views.

This is one of my favorite gifts ever! It's a USB disk with a single of one of my favorite musicians Mayer Hawthorne. It's heart shaped just like the vinyl that I also possess. Supa lovely!

Here is my beauty corner. I did a professional make up course at Antonia Rosa's Atelier so I got a lot of make up stuff but I actually don't use it very much nor spend tons of time getting ready. I absolutely adore this furniture, so princess!!!

Beside it is my lcd screen. I'm not really into TV but sometimes I can't sleep.

My favorite parfume is Infusion D'Iris by Prada, I have the all set. YVL foundation and lipsticks are the best! I love to smell good, so I love body lotions and all that stuff. On my powder room I also have some gifts and special cards. Behind Prada's perfume there is a Momjii doll which carries a special hand written message inside her. It inspired some of my illustrations.

Glasses are one of the coolest accessories ever! I also love headbands.

This is one of my closets, where I keep my tops and dresses. I have another one for my bottoms and jackets and a small storage room for my shoes. But still have issues deciding what to wear sometimes.

This is my bedside table. It has always books in it, I like to read a lot. My annoying alarm clock, believe me it's the easiest way for me to get up! My Darth Vader keys :) and the sad lamb moneybox, that is always empty! ahahah feel free to drop a coin if you visit!

This is where the dreams are made: the bed!

The geek corner! Books, art, movies, vynil, photography, school work...

Legos are another of my many passions. On the wall some school project for a jewellry designer. The cat can is where my Cat Holga Camera came in, now I use it to keep markers. The lovely vintage box has more sunglasses in it.

My Diana Mr.Pink and my Holga Cat Camera (says miauuuuu when you take a picture, specially designed to capture animals attention). The photography tree with pictures of people that matters. Some vynil.

More parfumes, sun cream and kinky kinky....Agent's Provocateur Strip Poker Game!

Some of my favorite magazines: Lula, Pigeons and Peacocks and the portuguese one Zoot!

And that's it!

Hope you like it!

XoXo

Photography was left behind among other things but somethings should not be left alone. So the bird couldn't fly instead he made a cosy nest on the floor and so he spend his days the best way he could.
