day 154: A moment you felt most satisfied in your life.

I remember a moment when I was just starting to write, just when I started finding that escape in my writing. I was ten years old and I was writing something that, if I were to read it now, I would cringe and quite possibly burn it. I remember finishing writing it and re-reading it and feeling so proud, so satisfied with myself for doing something that I thought was quite good.

But this was a fleeting moment, not the moment I felt most satisfied in my life. Actually, I don’t think that moment has come yet. When it does, I’ll let you know.

The house is quiet and I have come to enjoy this peaceful moment.

My sister has gone to Rock in Rio and will be spending the night with her boyfriend at his house in Lisbon, my father is working overnight and my mother has already gone to bed. I am the only one still up and I’m just trying very hard not to wither from the heat. I’m wearing short shorts and a top, trying my best to cool off but the damn heat is persistent and I can’t do much else except taking a cold shower and I’m feeling too lazy for that.

I’ve spent the afternoon watching movies. I’ve finally watched “Milk” and at the end I was crying like a fucking baby. It was a beautiful movie and I recommend it to everyone. Then I watched “Unrelated” which was frustrating and entertaining and now I’m watching television before writing this. It has been a calm day and Sunday nights are usually my favorite.

Tomorrow marks the start of the last week of this school year and I can’t wait to get it over with. I just want to get the exams out of the way and hopefully pass them. Fingers crossed.

day 153: Do you think the hardest thing is sometimes the easiest thing?

Another try at being oddly philosophical and poetic. Oh, Tumblr…

It’s okay, I’ll bite.

The hardest thing is called hard for a reason and the easiest thing is called easy for a reason. I think this is common sense, but maybe I’m wrong. Who knows? This is just my opinion.

Eu não vou poder comprar…não há dinheiro para livros, só para cafés e cervejas! :)

É claro que tem sempre que haver dinheiro para café, viver sem café é uma impossibilidade para pessoas como eu! Embora podia passar bem sem as cervejas…

Compras para a semana, se quiseres eu empresto-te o meu para leres quando quiseres.

day 152: What is one step of action you would take to change the world?

To be honest, I don’t think this world is very open to change. Whenever people take action, nothing seems to change all that much and to tell you the truth it makes me angry.

I would love to change many things, perhaps too many things, in this world. But to tell you the truth, I don’t even know how to start.

Isto do livro é só para me fazer inveja, não é? :c

Claro, que não! Ainda não compraste o teu? :/

Saturday | June 2nd, 2012 | 22:10 p.m.

My parents have been quiet lately, their silence and peace has given me quite the bad feeling because whenever there’s peace there’s resentment brewing and sooner or later it will explode in the form of yells and nasty insults. I’m waiting for the eventual fight, distracting myself with my writing, reading a bit and watching either television shows or movies. I’ve come to realize these things are of great comfort and the sources of hours without having to mull over things I don’t wish to think of.

Today I have bought the second book of my Jules Verne collection: “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea”. This collection is aesthetically beautiful, the designs in the hardcovers are gorgeous and the smell of the yellowing pages very addictive.

I have yet to start reading them, I have so many books to read it’s getting ridiculous. And the space to put them is becoming smaller and smaller, I have been racking my brain on where to put so many books and have yet to reach a solution.

And to finish, today rained. It hasn’t rained in a while and it was great to look outside my window and to see and listen to the water as it poured. I’ve missed winter a great deal and the hot season has only begun. I have a feeling I won’t survive all this heat.

t-i-c-k-l-e-s-m-y-f-a-n-c-y:

This is the first drawing I make since February… boy, has college taken over my life or what?!

Well, this is the amazingly talented Tom Hiddleston. You may know him from Thor, Deep Blue Sea (as Freddie) and, most recently, The Avengers. He plays Loki in both Thor and The Avengers and let me tell you: he did an amazing job with that character in both movies! I saw the movie a few days ago with my sister and I must confess I’ve been drawn into the Loki “craziness” (in the good sense of course) and so here he is: Tom Hiddleston!

Now, this isn’t exactly my type of drawing but, as you may have noticed, is inspired by the wonderful She is one of my favorite artists here in deviantART! Everything about her drawings is so amazing, so exquisite, so perfect! I really have no words to describe her work so if you haven’t checked her deviantART yet you just must! I don’t intend at all to copy her in any way, I just wanted to try something different so I hope she doesn’t mind.

Materials:
- A4 paper;
- Mechanical eraser, regular eraser;
- 0.7 HB; 0,5 HB mechanical pencil;
- STAEDTLER Mars Lumograph 6B pencil

(note: I forgot to mention that I used this pic as a reference. This manipulation was made by: dancingwithheadphones)

Allow me to fangirl over this! It’s so beautiful!

Will you draw me a Loki and a Thor? Pretty please? There’s no rush, you can do them whenever you want, sis.

Please?
