Bouddhist Thought for today

"It is important to recognize the power of our emotions--and to take responsibility for them by creating a light and positive atmosphere around ourselves. This attitude of joy that we create helps alleviate states of hopelessness, loneliness, and despair. Our relationships with others thus naturally improve, and little by little the whole of society becomes more positive and balanced." Tarthang Tulku

Still...

Still here,
Still alive,
Still lost in translation...
On my tea break, right now. Don't you love the light at this time of the day? Fresh mint leaves tea, if you want to know. Bio, from D&A's :-)

Funny... A few years ago, I've worked on the translation of the handbook of a previous version of the same type of machine. I don't remember well, but I think it was never finished. - Not needed anymore? I switched jobs?
Concluding cycles, I wonder...?

(if you're my yoga student, I'd rather if you don't read the rest)
I'm living on Herbalife shakes, different sorts of tea, fruits, chips and Coconut-Praline Divines (num Pingo Doce perto de si); mind my stomach is much better this week. Juni takes me out twice a day (which might be the very reason why she's here after all...), little jogging round the block included on the evening tour, that we both mooovvveee!
Music: Pandora radio on hold, that I'm not distracted "wow!what's this? cool!!". My WMP has everything I need: Sting, Crash Test Dummies, St Germain, Luar na Lubre, Sakya Tashi Ling, etc etc James Blunt,...
Bye, back to work!

On translation

I'm working on a big translation so don't expect any news nor 'oldies' until the 16th.
I'll have some lovely sunset pics to post by then I'm sure. :-)

Till then... Be happy and enjoy the Sun, the weather is wonderful!!

ATTENTION, PLEASE!!!

Important announcement...!

The lift is working again!!
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
I bet my 80-year-old neighbours from the 8th floor are pretty happy! I sure am. yuppiiii!

Looking back it wasn't that bad. Just a few 8.300-something steps climbed in 12 days, it doesn't sound as tough as your legs try to make you believe when you're actually climbing ...

New rhythm

Having a dog has surely changed my life.
Take today, for instance. With no classes in the morning, I'd probably stay in bed until 9ish, even having work to do.
Juni decided to wake me up at 5.40am... I sternly sent her back to her bed. In the living-room, as in not my bedroom's carpet and not the couch (hip!hip!hurrah!).
At 7.15am, she was by my bed again. "Is the sun up already?, well, OK, let's move even if the alarmclock won't ring before 8am... :s "

Good thing is I was able to enjoy a nice quiet walk and the fresh morning and it felt good to be outside. Back home, I set myself to clean up the house (next house will definitely have a terrace/yard and the dog will be outside!) and, by 11 o'clock, I was sitting ready to work, house clean and smelling nice, laundry on the line and with a good feeling of accomplishment. I wonder if that's what feeling like a grown-up is...

Ready to work

Tea: Dessert Tea - English Toffee by Celestial Seasonings (El Corte Inglés)

Music: My radio powered by Pandora , just click on the sidebar and you'll listen to some of my favorites plus a selection of music with similar qualities, or "belonging to same music genome"... :)

Estou toda partida...

Fui hoje à primeira aula do Curso de Massagem Ayurvédica. Estou a fazer a reciclagem para voltar ao activo. :-)
Hoje dei e recebi. Estava mesmo a precisar de um jeitinho nas costas... Acho que vou dormir muito bem.

A partir de dia 26 de Março, estou disponível para voltar a dar massagens aos amigos. A partir de Abril, voltarei a exercer como terapeuta. Preparem-se...

As voltas que a vida dá

Estive a ver o eclipse da Lua frente à minha escola primária.
Curioso... 23 anos depois, comprei casa a 5min a pé da minha escolinha. Os muros estão mais altos, os pavilhões pré-fabricados onde o primo N e o mano R tinham aulas foram substituídos por um novo edifício, o recreio está mais pequeno. A árvore onde partiste a cabeça ainda lá está, mano. As nossas professoras já estão reformadas.
Vim-me embora a pensar que... se tivesse filhos, iriam para aquela escola e poderiam ir a pé, algo que sempre quis quando era miúda e vivíamos a 15kms daqui.

O elevador ainda não funciona

O motor foi para reparação na terça-feira.
Já perdi a conta à quantidade de vezes que subi as escadas... Pelo menos, 4x/dia, alguns dias 6 vezes... 7 andares * 4 vezes * 9 dias... vou ficar com as pernas bem trabalhadas.
Já só fico cansada quando chego ao 4º andar.
Doem-me os músculos.

Vou coleccionando....

...as coisas que os putos cá deixam em casa.
Até agora:
- uma pulseirinha de contas;
- um cromo Aprilia cc.250 ETX.

Para devolver aos respctivos donos, claro.

Que dia lindo!!

Os campos de um verde lindo, o amarelo das azedas nas encostas e à beira da estrada, a temperatura fantástica... e os dias a ficarem maiores, que bom, que bom, que bom!!

What KY classes do to me...

14.51h - Up the Cobra road (or track, should I say). As fast as I'm able to drive up that road (I'm late for class), windows open, Anastacia on the radio, radio volume... let's say quite high, Sick and tired. I loved her concert at Rock in Rio '06.

17h15 - After class, down Cobra road, watching the shades on the hills and the lovely green fields, windows open, Madredeus Haja o que Houver sounds absolutely perfect.

This is me... don't try to change me ;)

Bocadinhos de felicidade

Andava há dias a querer ir à praia, mas o tempo não ajudava.

Hoje, estive um bocadinho em Albarquel, chazinho com a querida tia F. e um passeio à beira-mar com a Juni (que estava encantada ;) ).
É destes momentos assim que a felicidade é feita.

My most recent transformation

Now, where did I leave my lightsaber...?
