WARNING!

Well, I found this on a web-site and felt a sudden urge to post it as a warning, not for my blog, which despite being a number of things, it isn't idiotic, yet!, but for the completely STUPID blogs we see everyday...
So, laugh a bit, and remember: a real blog says something, is controversial, emotional, truthful and interesting... Dare to be different, dare to be original, dare to be yourself!

It just doesn't get much better than this!

Hey everyone...

This post is a day overdue, but, better late than never, and anyway it's still all so vivid that I feel as if we've been dancing for the last 24 hours... It was amazing! You all were amazing! I scream for joy, I cry of pride, I smile of amazement, not because I believed you couldn't, but because you showed me you could more than anyone!
You all deserved to be on that stage. You proved you metal and WE GAVE THEM HELL! Cedric, for throwing me against the wall on that Friday, telling me it's not worth it, and giving me strenght to carry on... Estefania, for doing in a month, what many couldn't have done in six, for showing everyone that more important than being good, is being persevereant! Marco, for, on another Friday, when you saw your place threatened, showing how commited you were, and how prepared to were to go the extra-mile and do something great... Sara, for putting up with me from the beginning, for telling me, you can do it, and do it well, for always being there for us, and for everything you are... Carlotta (the best for last, and don't be ofended guys! lol!), for getting over your issues, for showing everyone that you can, for keeping me grounded, for keeping me firm, for helping me do what I had to do... I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, words cannot explain what I feel. It meant the world...
But now seriously, and not to be concieted or anything, but we ROCKED! We showed then what it means to dance, to give a show, to work (and by god did we work these last 4 months)! Every little compliment I hear just makes me think one thing: none of this would ever have been possible without you 5, and no one, and I mean no one, could have done it better!
I also take this opportunity to thank some people, who deserve to be recognised and many timea aren't... Mrs. Emilia Macedo, thank you for believing we could do it and for giving us the place of honour. I know we didn't let you down... Our parents, who put up with so much (driving us to rehearsals, putting up with the rehearsals, feeding us, ignoring the fights, and so much more), and who raised 6 individuals capable of doing what we did. We stand and appalude you... To everyone behind the sceans and the I HAVE A DREAM, you guys do so much and are rarely recognised, we thank you... To my amazing sister-in-law-to-be who stayed so many afternoons so we could practice. And to all our friends, those who saw some rehearsals and said "hell yes!!", those who only saw the show and said "oh my god!", those who couldn't be there and still said "break a leg!", thank you all...
(Sorry for the oscar speach, but things had to be said, and if I forgot anyone, I'm sorry and know we thank you all the same...)
So that's that I guess, I'm going to watch the movie for the 8th time, (I just can't get enough), just jokin... Once again congratulations, you were fabulous!!!!! And remember next year is going to kick ass!

Words just don't cover it!

Hya guys!

So here I am, at twenty to midnight, posting the most important message ever: CICMUN ROCKS! I am dieing of exaustion, but the exilaration of the day is still pumping so hard in my veins that I can't stop...
It all started yesterday with the Lobbying. It was great to see everyone back for another conference: some old faces, some new ones and some people we know on a day-to-day basis but look so different all dressed up. The atmosphere was amazing: tense but friendly, resolute but compreensive; and I saw some of the best resolutions in these last two years, and best defences at that. Then again, nothing less could be expexted with a team of leaders like ours. I take this opporunity, on my humble abode, to thank and congratulate all, in particular: Luis Terrinha (you seriously leave me absolutely gobsmacked!), Mafalda Pinto (hell yes!), Antonio Maia (you couldn't have been more american!) and my other sister-in-law-to-be, Marie Hohenstein (you're an amazing Press Editor, but I really do hate you for publishing that quote! LOL! Just kidding!). As this is the last year for many of you, I wish you good luck and thank you for being an inspiration for all of us. Your hard work and dedication means more than we can say. I stand and applaude you all!

Mafalda Pinto, Luis Terrinha, Antonio Maia, and Patricia Branco.

Todays debates were some of the most heated ever, despite all the resolutions being passed, two by absolute and overwhelming majorties... Our country, the UK, managed to approve and pass a resolution and I almost jumped for joy! Very undiplomatic, I know... but what the heck!
We met some amazing delegates, both from CIC, and from other schools, among them, and sorry if I don't know your names but that is one of my weak points, the delegate of France, DPR Korea, Germany (Luis Grilo, this one I know), DR Congo (Ken, I don't know the rest, but Viva South Africa, Viva!), Cambodia (Sara and Cedric, well I already knew you, but you did an excelent job), Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Timor Leste, Sudan, Tailand, etc... Congrats, I'm looking forward to challenging and working with you again soon...

Myself, by fellow represenattive of the UK, Miss Carlotta Hohenstein,
and the representative of Cambodia, Miss Sara Neves...

So that's that. After pouring my soul out to you, I'm really in need of some TLC and sleep, so: good night and may all the dreams we fought for today be tomorrows reality...

My way!

And now the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain,
My freind I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain,
I've lived a life that's full,
I've traveled each and every highway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way!
Regrets, I've had a few,
But then again,
to few to mention,
I did, what I had to do,
And saw it through, without exemption,
I planned each charted course
Each careful step upon the byway
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes there were times,
I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off, more than I could chew,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up, and spit it out,
I faced it all,
And I stood tall,
And did it my way.
I've loved,
I've laughed and cried,
I've had my fill, my share of loosing,
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing,
To think I did all that,
And may I say,
Not in a shy way,
Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has e got?
If not himself, then he has not,
To say the things, he truly feels,
And not the words of one who kneels,
The record shows,
I took the blows,
And did it my way!

So I leave you with dear old Frank, and what is for me, a lesson in life, loving, overcoming obstacles, and most of all, standing up for what you belive in...

The need to blow some steam...

Hey everyone.

Well I just really needed to write, about everything and nothing. About a couple of things that have been driving me up the walls lately. And I guess blowing some steam is the best way to go to bed with a lighter load...
So we have less than 2 weeks to our show, and they are not up to scratch yet. Yes I have said before that they make me proud, and that they are dancing brilliantly, but the fact is, that's not enough. We have to be absolutely perfect, and we're not. I'm not living up to my own expectations and I hate it! Dammit! Another thing: they aren't used to being on stage, this is a first time thing and it's pretty big. What if someone freezes? I feel that they aren't confident enough and that somehow it's my fault, but I haven't the foggiest why or how to fix this. I guess a couple more practises might do the trick, but there isn't much time really...
Well, bottom line is: we have to make it work, come hell or high water! We can, you can! You have surprised me so many times before, and I am hopping you are getting ready to do it again.
If you read this before the show: good luck, I know you can do this, and have faith in you. If not, I know that all of the above will be complete nonsencial rambling and that I will be at home crying with joy, because you all fliping nailed it! Believe in yourselves, and don't let anything break your self-esteem... You're better than that!

Howzit people!

So I was sitting around listening to Panic! at the disco (man this is what I call good music!) and decided to come here and dedicate a post to my soulmate (up yours if you think this was corny! LOL) seen as today is our aniversary: a year and 4 months...
Just wanted to say how much I love you, how much you mean to me, and how much I need you. You really are one of the best things that ever happened to me!! (Babes I know you hate it when I post photos of you, but I really feel the need to show everyone how god damn stunning you are! And don't scoff, because it's true!)
Well that's that for now, I'll probably be back today to post a couple of photos...

A few of my passions..

Hi all.


I'm back. I was sitting around doing absolutely nothing and decided to update my humble abode... and what better way than to pay homage to my passions. The things that make me tick...

First and foremost: music. I love music, everything it inspires and everything it is. From jazz, soul, hip-hop (yes Cedric there are some, few, songs worth while...lol!), pop, and most of all ROCK! A relatively new passion,because a few months ago I didn't really enjoy rock, but now that's basically half my music list... Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the disco and the sort.


Next, dance... I love to dance, and have, over the years done a couple of cool things in the area.. Not to brag or anything but, I was a national 2nd place and studio champ. Lol! This year me and the Fantastic 5(excluding 1 and including Marco and Estefânia) are rehearsing a little something for the "I have a dream". I can't disclose any details, it's sort of supposed to be a surprise, but I'll say this much: it's going to be one hell of a show! I also take this opportunity, seen as the subject permits, to thank Cedric, Sara, Marco, Estefânia and Carlotta. You guys have been absolutely fantastic! I never imagined I could make 5 people, without any experience, albeit with talent, dance like you all are dancing right now! I make me proud every time we dance!

And last but not least: urban art. Sort of a wierd combination? Rock, ballroom dance and Graffitis... But that's me, a load of contradictions... So anyway. There's not a lot to say here, os I'll just leave you with a little something created by me on an amazing website called www.graffiticreator.net, and dedicated to the person who makes me soar with every touch!


So thats a wrap...

Just to wet your apetite...

Hey everyone, welcome back, if you've already been here before (damn you must really enjoy suffering), or just welcome, if it's your first time... Pass the pun!
As many of you might already know I writing a book. Nothing too complicated but all in all quite a good plot. I've only written the first three chapters, which means I'll probably finish it when I 80!!!

So I decided to release a sort of trailer on my blog, an unprecidented view of the first paragraphs of chapter one. Hope you enjoy and please comment...

Chapter 1
London 1999

William Blake was not a man to be taken lightly. Everything that surrounded him was there for this exact purpose, for no one was more of an expert in intimidation. From the antique Persian carpets, to the mahogany glass-fronted cabinets full of relics, collected from numerous tribes around the world, everything was there to create a sense of power, mysticism and omnipotence that few would consider charming, but then no one had ever has the courage to say this to Mr. Blake.
As for Mr. Blake, let's just say, that our surroundings tend to be a reflection of ourselves. He was just like his study: a dark man, power hungry, intelligent, complex and above all else: proud. Yes, pride was something he held very dear to his heart, perhaps because, just as all who are unfairly condemned, he still maintained an old prejudice against the British crown for having robbed his ancestors of their royal title. And old wounds heal with much difficulty, most so when those who are wounded refuse to be healed.
On this particular night,William sat at his 16th century, carved, oak desk smoking a Cuban cigar (an extremely expensive habit he had acquired during his time as a financial consultant for the Cuban kingpin in Havana) and admiring his most recent triumph: a map.

The begining...

Welcome!!!!
So here go's my first post ever, so bear with me and try not to fall asleep...
First I want to explain the name: well yellow canary because of that famous yellow sweat-shirt, purple-belt because I, many years ago, practiced Karate and when I left I was a purple belt... Watch out!! lol! NOT!! Oh yes, and a tribute to the Fantastic 5 (no not the book series) because of my friends, the people who make my life so much more fun... You guys are my idols and I love you with every fiber of my being...
And here they are: the fabulous Fantastic 5:

From left to right: Carlotta (the love of my life, the one who is always there for us, the german part of the group and one hell of a good time); yours truly; Denise (a once member and now renegade, we miss you and hope you'll return and face the music...); Sara (the smile that sunk a tousand ships LOL, a great friend and basically fun re-incarnated...) and finally Cedric (one of the few guys I can truly call my friend, the swiss part of the group, the calm and relaxed person who usually holds us together...).

So that's that.
