Things I want to tell you #7

So... I went to the US today and, I might have got you a LITTLE presente. I know.  I know you are quite busy lately. I understand. But it still is quite hurtfull that I send you such a lovely message on Tuesday, you read it and you don't reply. It really is. And it makes me wonder if I should just stop holding on to this amazing-unexplainable-crazy-awesome feeling you have awaken on  me... But anyways, back to the "LITTLE" GIFT.
Lots of healthy granola bars for your oisr-workout-snack.
What's on the box, you're wondering. Well, that you will find out afrer I post it to you next week.
Have a great night. Catch you later,

Your sexy Portuguese.

Things I want to tell you 6#

Eu gosto. Eu sei que gosto. Mas aos poucos esta a desvanecer... Não posso ser sempre eu. Eu quando parece que estas a ficar mais perto, afastas-te... Só me faz lembrar aquela frase: 

Say something I'm giving up on you!

Game of Thrones

Há cerca de 3 semanas comecei a ver o GoT no meu piccolo tablet. Estou completamente "addicted" e já a espumar da boca só de pensar que estou quase a acabar a season 4 e que tenho de esperar cerca de 1 ano até aos próximos episódios.

Sou so eu que acho que aquela gente corta cabeças como quem vira frangos ali na churasqueira de Xabregas???

Vancity

Apparently I am a lucky bum. According to:

- The Economist, I live in the 3rd Most Liveable City of 2014,
- The Time, one of the Healthiest Cities on Hearth;
and
- The Business Insider’s, the 13th Most Innovative City on Earth for 2014.

Interesting, right? What are you waiting for? Pack your bloody bags and get your ass over here (please read with British accent).

Things that remind me of you...

This house, couple blocks from me. Very British, huh?

A sexy message...

So... apparently I have to go and purchase another belt. You know one that looks like a steel chain? The one you used to handcuff me? Exactly. That one... I can't wear it anymore. It severely reminds me of you. And every time I touch it I have flashbacks. Exactly like in the movies. I hold it, close my eyes and in couple seconds all those super hot and intense moments come to my mind. And it drives me crazy!!! Specially because I don't know when I am going to see you again. And it is so perfect. So intense...

So, today Tracey told me about this movie called "Lone Survivor"! I am watching it right now. Having a hard time typing this message, cause all I can think about is you... If this was you, there in the middle of all those shots, all those wounds, all that blood. That crazy people. Kinda hard to describe what goes through my mind right now... Although I can't stop wondering, why would you want to be in that situation??? Hard to understand. Maybe soon enough I'll be able to ask you in person.

Hey! Happy Monday! :) 

Asian eyes still? Ahahaha!

Monday Portuguese challenge: try to translate my message. 

Obrigada por, ontem, teres conseguido arranjar tempo para falarmos um pouco na net, mesmo estando super cansado do treino. :) Gostei imenso de te ver.  Sabes, mal posso esperar pela próxima vez que te vir. Ao vivo e a cores. E perder-me no teu abraço. 

Tem um óptimo dia. Beijo enorme com carinho e saudades. Gosto de ti. 

PS: esta semana conto-te a minha ideia de irmos a Cuba. ;) x

Just saying...

My heart stops when you look at me... 

It is you, right?

Things I want to tell you #4

Remember when we were chilling in your room and you showed me all those amazing tattoos? Kandinsky portraits tattooed on peoples bodies? Recently I came across these great portuguese tattoo artist, Tania Catclaw. She is insane. Check it out: http://www.thevandallist.com/tania-catclaw-tattoo-artist/

I think next time I go to Portugal I will be tattooing something that is a combination between these two:

Isn't she crazy good? 

Hope you are having a great time going up and down the mountains, crazy busy bee. Miss you like crazy. 

Your Sexy Portuguese.

Things I want to tell you #3

Hey. So... I just got home. Went on a date with this guy I met the weekend before going to Portugal. Italian. Super nice guy. I feel like I had to tell you. Us women, when we really like you guys we are loyal like dogs. And I know it's weird, because 1 month has passed since I left London. We don't talk that much. I know you are not my long distance boyfriend. But it still feels like I am cheeting. It totally does. And it breaks my heart. And I try to have realistic expectations, but my crazy romantic-dreamer side is stronger than I am. 

All the time all I could think about was you. On the way there. When I got there. On the way home, I was looking at the apartment buildings and imagining us living there. You on the balcony, barbecuing something while I was making a salad and setting the table. Kept thinking how much I feel you are going to love Vancouver and how I much I am going finally start loving it because of you.

Anyways, I had to tell you... I have no clue what you have been up to in London, so... And I am also afraid to ask!

 Graham Hill: Why I'm a weekday vegetarian

  

On the sequence of my last post, I would like to share this TEDTalk about my "weekday vegetarian" choice. Enjoy.

My Vegetarian Diary

After a long day at work, some healthy grocery shopping at Costco. "Organic" seems to be the common theme here.

In order to achieve a healthier life style I have been slowly, changing my food habits. First, I decided to eliminate all sort of processed foods and dairy from my diet. After, started purchasing mostly organic items. As you can imagine, a complete organic diet in Vancouver is extremely expensive, so I had to balance it out in order to have a healthy diet and not be completely broke. Then, by the end of last year I meet this guy, N. Supper healthy, that told me about this weekday vegetarian diet. Turns out he ended being a "healthy-douchebag" (will tell you all about it on a different post), but at least I learned something with him. Anyways, after returning from my vacation I decided to become a "weekday vegetarian". And so far, so good. I am on my second week and I can say I feel great. No craving meet at all. Important to say that for the past 15 years I completely gave up on beef. Since I was a kid, my mother and my grandmother used to buy me these special stakes with less fat and all that. Although I can say I truly never enjoyed it. And one day, at the age of 15 when they complained I was not eating my meet I finally told them that I did not like it and it was quite hard to digest. That was the end of it.
Shortly, I will be sharing some of my recipes for this new adventure in my life. Stay tuned.

Power. How you deal with power defines who you are.

Music for my ears #1

Completely addicted to this song. And the lyrics... Oh the lyrics! The lyrics totally remind me of you. It describes how I feel, perfectly.

You lift my heart up when the rest of me is down
You, you enchant me even when you're not around
If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down
I'm latching on, babe, now I know what I have found

I feel we're close enough
Could I lock in your love?
I feel we're close enough
Could I lock in your love?

Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you

I'm so en-captured, got me wrapped up in your touch
Feel so enamored, hold me tight within your clutch
How do you do it, got me losing every breath
Why did you kiss me to make my heart beat out my chest?

I feel we're close enough
Could I lock in your love?
I feel we're close enough
Could I lock in your love?

Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you

Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you

I'm latching on to you

Things I want to tell you #2

You know what I miss? I miss sitting in your bed. Beside you stroking your hair. So blond. So soft.

I miss waking up in the morning, and there you are. Beside me. Slowly waking up. Scrunchy face, one eye half open the other one still closed. And with a glance of a smile you morn "Hummm. Good morning". I reply with a smile. For you I always have a smile. And there we stay, for couple moments, laying in bed, side by side listening to the sounds of London waking up outside.

I miss sitting in your bed, under the covers and admire you while you get ready for another crazy busy day in your crazy busy life. From the distance, I look at you while you stand in front of the mirror putting your dress shirt on and slowly tie the buttons. One by one. Then, when you reach the last one slowly tilt your head backwards; or when you carefully tuck in your shirt in your pants and select a dark pair of socks from your vintage storage box; or when you come back to bed and eat your "porridge" with me (hummm, the smell of fresh oats) or do your morning yoga routine. Namaste.

I miss that morning kiss before you live for work. How I try to figure out when you are almost ready and quickly run to the bathroom and brush my teeth so that I have a clean and fresh breath. How you take a deep breath and moan when you give me that kiss. I love your funny noises.

I miss the smell of your skin. The touch of your hands. The taste of your lips. The sound of your voice. Your laugh. I can close my eyes and hear you laugh right now as if you were sitting right here.

I miss those moments when you whisper something in my ear. And I struggle to understand it. Your British accent. Ohhhh, do you how much I adore your British accent?!

I miss how, without even knowing, you challenge me, inspire me and make me want to be a better person each day. My days are so much better when you are part of them. I have no doubt about that. Why are you so distant lately?

Ohhhhhh dam! I am definitely suffering from R. withdrawals!

Because good things are supposed to be shared...

According to VancityBuzz, Vancouver was named one of the healthiest cities in the world. Check it out!
According to me... Maybe. Ok. Yes. Although is quite boring sometimes. And the dating scene sucks. (overall Vancouver men are a bunch of idiots, but that will be discussed in another post). And you need love to live a healthy, happy life, so... MAYBE. But it's definitely a beautiful city. Check some of the pictures I took this past Sunday on my way to Kitsilano beach. Breath taking... Enjoy!
