Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you, dear Daddy!
Happy birthday to you!

It's just a pity that for the first time in my life you are so far from us on this day! I know you are doing it because you love and care about us, so good luck and I love you a lot!

Long time...

Well once again no news for so long, however I have a good reason for it. My Daddy has gone to Angola for about a week and took my laptop. So here am I in a library in the middle of a garden in Santarém writing some lines.

Lately I’ve been to 2 concerts: Devendra Banhart and Sigur Ros. So I still have to drop some lines about these amazing concerts. For those who have missed them, you can’t imagine what you lost, but here goes a suggestion for tonight: Rodrigo Leão in Aula Magna. I would love to be one of the lucky ones, but I’ve got Spanish classes and besides that, 2 concerts in a month are already too much for my parents (you know the saving speech).

This Sunday I’m going to have a get together with friends from University so expect some photos to lighten up this blog.

Here goes some pics from my third favorite cat, if we don’t consider tigers cats (Ginja and Mitsy will be always above this one):




Thanks to my best childhood friend for the laugh!

Santa Maria da Feira - Devendra Banhart

Pensando cada dia, cada hora
Pensando en ti
Caminando, mi sesta llena de moras
Son para ti
Temprano por la tarde y por la noche
Sueño de ti

Lalalala

Comiendo pera
En santa maria de la feira
Que placer ir
La gente buena
Solo gozan nunca hay pena
Pa' que sufrir
Jugando en el mar, en la arena
Viviendo haci

Lalalala

Ventana blanca
Hay que venga la mañana
Hay que venga otra vez
Esperando
Asi es como yo paso mi tiempo
Esperando a Inaniel
Y rezando por su calor, por su aliento
Sobre mi piel

Te digo todo aqui va bien
Conmigo de no dormir
Amigo, te lo suplico, te lo pido
Que me ayudes a mi, a mi

Buscando
Con mi ancla en la marea
Nadando en ti
Yo voy andando
Oyeme, te estoy llamando
Te amo a ti

Por el valle me encontré un rio escondido
Me recuerdo, hacía calor pero tenia frio
Me iba a morir

Bianca
Ay Paloma, ay Angelina
Por fin te vi
Por fin te vi
Por fin te vi

The Other Side of the Coin - ©2005, Ekin Caglar

I must warn you it's rather shocking... For how much longer will this have to go on, how much pain can half of humanity keep on enduring... Unfortunately I've already seen a toddler with no hope in her eyes, no smile on her lips after seeing her mother and father dying and only having in the whole world her gradma already in her bed also waiting to die... A 2 year old child with no hope in her eyes, an image that cuts one's heart into pieces...

The Complete List | TIME Magazine - ALL-TIME 100 Novels

Better saying the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present... Some I have never had the chance to read, some have lingered deep inside of me and I hope I will still live long enough to read many more that will mean so much and that can actually change you and touch you deeply...
