2010 review

In the beginning of this year I had a feeling that it would be an amazing year. And it was. Not everything was perfect, of course, but I truly believe that those bad moments in time are even more important than the good ones, as we learn a lot from them.

So, let's start with all the negative stuff and leave the best for the end.

I've felt terribly this year.

I've lost a bit of my blind love for people as I've felt kind of (totally, in fact) betrayed.

I've lost important people I wish I could have kept in my life. 

I've been weak.

I've failed at preferring me and my interests over everyone else's.
I haven't trusted myself enough.

I definitely need to grow up and learn a lot...

STILL, I TRULY BELIEVE THIS YEAR WAS AWESOME BECAUSE:

I've felt so damn great this year!!

I've gone to a 3O SECONDS TO MARS concert alone!!

I've been (and still am) so happy about my marks in this new school year :D

I've told the right things to the right people a couple of times.

I've found a wonderful new home in the Algarve ;)

I've discovered the beauty of Muse songs.

I've lived unforgettable moments with people I love!

I've got much better at writing :D

I'm slowly learning how to be a calmer and more balanced person...

I'm not sure yet of what my feeling for 2011 is, but I hope it is, at least, as good as 2010. On one hand I'm kind of afraid that I'll fall off this state of happiness I'm in. That would be somewhat painful. On the other hand, I also know that I'll have better and worse moments in my life and, sometimes, there won't be much I can do to avoid that. I guess I'll just anxiously wait to see what's coming now.

Shake up the happiness... It's Christmas time!! (by the way, that Coca Cola add is beautiful)

Hello!

Hope you had a Merry Christmas :D

I didn't post a Christmas message yesterday because I was too busy finishing and printing my short story... I loved writing it and my parents liked reading it as well, so I feel really, really happy. I'm thinking about participating in a FNAC contest (for short stories, this time) with it. I only have to enlarge it a bit.

About Christmas gifts... This year me and my family saved a bit on gifts. To be honest, none of us is a great fan of Christmas and we're all sick of this gift tradition, so we just bought the necessary.

What did I get? Hmm, a pair of BRAND NEW RED ALL-STAR :D Money, of course. Two books (one of them is Saramago's Blindness; the other one I saw in a 30STM newsletter), my perfume - Black XS, as always - and a calendar my mom made with animal photos taken by me. It was really amazing - and the only gift I wasn't expecting at all. I also received a pair of white gloves with a matching scarf :)

I'm now making truffles to give to my grandparents, who couldn't come yesterday to the Christmas dinner. And, no matter what you're thinking, I do know how to make truffles. They are absolutely lovely :D

Well, the page about the 30 Seconds to Mars show in Lisbon is ready since a couple of days ago... (this is me trying to tell you "SEE IT AND COMMENT IT!") I've already received my photo with the band and... guess what? It does look good! I was expecting some closed eyes, hands in front of the face, ridiculous smile, ... But it didn't happen! I'm thinking about creating a poster with that photo or something like that. A big thing I can look at all day :P

I'm also writing a tale, which I plan to finish before Christmas (it's supposed to be a Christmas gift for my family, so I have this pressure to finish it). As you already know (if you read a couple of my posts), I have this small tendency to never finish what I start, specially when we're talking about writing. But this time I have a deadline to meet and maybe that'll help me to overcome that small tendency.

Quick updates

Hello!

The 30 Seconds to Mars show was pretty awesome and I'm preparing a whole page with further details. I hope I can finish it tonight, but I can't promise anything.

I'm back to the Algarve :D
I'm now going to have dinner at the hotel.

Don't tell anyone, but...

IT IS TOMORROW!!!

Hysteria

And I've experienced another online death... Incredible...!

Well, whatever. I can't change what is done. Now that I'm back, I just wanted to say:

I'M SO DAMN HAPPY BECAUSE 30STM CONCERT IS ON DEC. 16TH!!!!

I'm going on stage on Kings and Queens (YES, IT IS TRUE!! AND YES, I DO KNOW I'M THE LUCKIEST PERSON EVER!!) and I'm going to watch the show from the soundboard. Ah ah ah!! Oh, right, I forgot to mention that I'm going to meet the band before the show. We're not allowed to take any photos with the band, so they (read: the staff) are going to take photos for us. Hope they do it right -  and, most of all, hope to be able to make a pretty face at the first shot, which is almost impossible to me... Anyway, I still have time to practice :D

I promise to post photos, inside information and anything else I can :D

I'm so excited!!!

This is their third concert in Portugal and the second one I'm going to. This time they'll be playing songs from "This is War" - can't wait to listen to Closer to the Edge live!!! I'm sure it'll be awesome... :D

Mom's calling for dinner, I have to go.

P.S - I have a new, wonderful hat. It's all black and terribly cute. It was bought for an interview I have to present in Portuguese (I'll play Álvaro de Campos, an heteronym of the portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa), but I've fallen in love with it. I think I'm going to take it to the concert.
