Davos state of mind

the outlier

Bem sei que para portugal isto e tudo muito normal, mas eu francamente ja nao tenho paciencia para isto!

Almoco? Sim claro! Ligo no dia anterior para saber onde vou ter... Nada! No proprio dia, mesmo em cima da hora e e se quero!

Marca-se as 12.45... Chega-se as 13.30 - "ah nao sabia que vinha com o tempo contado, nao pensei que lhe fizesse diferenca"

Naaah - o que eu mais gosto e que me facam esperar e pior que eu faca outros esperar e  chegue tarde a outros sitios por causa de atrasos alheios!

Conclusao: apanho o comboio de regresso com uma hora de atraso que me lixo!

Claro que me esqueco que nesta terra nao se marcam coisas com muita antecedencia porque chegar tarde nao incomoda ninguem - as horas sao apenas indicacoes gerais... Nada de muito rigido!

Grgrrrrr... Ah a exagerada pontualidade suica is looking so pretty good right about now!  

Santa baby... I've been an awful good girl...

Pelas perguntas mais frequentes dos portugueses em 2012... tirei o curso certo!

“Como emagrecer?” e “Como perder a barriga?” foram as duas perguntas começadas por “como” que mais marcaram o ano de 2012 em Portugal, de acordo com informação compilada pelo Google com base nas buscas dos utilizadores.

 ... and so the feeling grows"

The relief of the realization.... she is the problem, not me! For while there i have been thinking that I was from another planet....

TGIF
 

Cadeiras volantes

Se pudesse alterava uma coisa na Casa da Musica, so uma: as cadeiras deslizantes da Sala Guillermina Suggia.

De resto... ouvi Maurice Ravel pela Orquestra e fiquei cheia de contentamento o fim-de-semana todo!

Bond... James-hot-Bond!

I really like Daniel Craig's Bond! For so many reasons... the main one being that he is seriously hot! 

This quote is cool... particularly in the context of the intergenerational divide:   

"Q: Age is no guarantee of efficiency. 
James Bond: And youth is no guarantee of innovation."

The creepy pick up line...

So, four years ago I discovered the Diili Hat and loved it! It is less crowed than other street markets, it has nice stuff, good food and feels quite safe. So, even though i don't really need any new pashminas, I went back. Walked around and started my shopping spree in a bracelet booth... I chose the one bracelet i liked and tried to bargain the price... didn't work, so I left.

(A few meters ahead, a creepy white man invited me for coffee...)

- Hey, you  have very good taste...
- Excuse me?
- The bracelet you chose, it was really nice
- ... (silence)
- Where are you from?
- Europe
- Oh, europe is big... where in europe?
- Portugal
- No way! Lisboa... You know, Paulo is my portuguese nick name!
- Hum hum (in my head: go away 40 yr old pale creep with braces)
- Do you want to go for a coffee?
- No thank you (in my head: you are really creeping me out now!).
- Oh, that's a pity. It would be nice...
- Bye (creepy white man)
- Bye, enjoy your shopping. I think I will go back and collect the bracelet you chose.

(a few meters ahead... while i was in another booth)

He was back:  - Bye, nice to meet you and safe travels home
- Adeus

Cdgabinete... A quase celebridade na India

Fiz uma visitinha ao Red Fort... 

Pelo numero de fotos que me tiraram - com e sem a minha autorização (?!!!)- imagino que na sexta feira o facebook.in se encheu de posts e fotos minhas com titulos  "loira, com t-shirt a dizer talk nerdy to me, visita o red fort". 

Fair enough... eu tb gosto de tirar fotos aos saris delas!

Back to Delhi...

Sera que é desta que tenho direito a Bollywood? :)

Being girly is good for my skin

A julgar pela oferta de soutiens nas lojas da especialidade.... 99% das mulheres compra soutiens almofadados.

She is back!!!

Shit....I may have found something I would like to do a PhD on...
