Get To Know Me Tag: 21 Questions

Due my high school trauma some things changed about me, most of them privacy related. I turned into a very introverted person - more than I already was - so, when it came to taking pictures or personal information I'm very private. Either way I don't think you should be "punished" for something you haven't done so, here's a little get to know me. 

1. Are you named after anyone?
Well, not that I know.

2. When was the last time you cried?
Last month while writing something for my mom heaven's anniversary.

3. Do you have kids?
Nope.

4. If you where another person, would you be friends with yourself?
I think so.

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
I speak sarcasm. ;)

6. Will you ever bungee jump?

Pass!

7. What's your favourite cereal?
I don't think I have a favourite.

8. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Their face.

9. What is your eye colour?

Brown.

10. Scary movie or happy endings?
Happy endings.

11. Favourite smells?

Vanilla and caramel.

12. Summer or winter?
Winter but cold kind of winter, not rainy winter.

13. Computer or TV?
Computer because, to be honest, I don't turn my TV on since last year. 

14. What's the furtherest you've ever been from home?
Switzerland.

15. Do you have any special talents?
I'd say languages.

16. Where were you born?
Hospital, I think :p

17. What are your hobbies?
I love to hang out to a local caffee and be there on my own. I also enjoy watch TV Shows, read and take walks into a park.

18. Do you have any pets?
Yes, I do. A six-year-old kitten.

19. Favourite movie?

20. Do you have any siblings?
No sir, only child. 

21. What do you want to be when you grow up?
I wanted to be a singer but now I'd say something languages and travelling related.

I truly hope you enjoyed this while knowing a little more about the person typing behind the screen and, if you enjoyed, leave a comment below. 

Where Peaceful Waters Flow

The clouds break forth the streams of light

To dance upon the earth,

And cradled in the sands of time,

Comes a newborn baby's birth.

A gentle breeze blows through the night,

It whispers through the grass,

And ripples on the water form

As rain glistens on the glass.

And you listen to the sound,

The Lord's presence all around.

He summons us to go

Where peaceful waters flow.

A rainbow arcs across the sky,

A promise is displayed.

The graceful flight of a butterfly,

It takes my breath away.

The autumn leaves in their splendor

Fall gracefully to the earth,

And stars proclaim their song at night,

What is their beauty worth?

And you listen to the sound,

The Lord's presence all around.

He summons us to go

Where peaceful waters flow.

My first time at a recording studio

This post was supposed to be up on Monday but, I got home kind of late and I wanted to rest because it took more than I expected - now I understand how long it takes to record an album. First things first the reason why I went to the studio is this Monday - January 25 - was 16 years my mom has passed away and I wanted to do something for her. Even though I've performed Someone's Watching Over Me in High School - December 17 2009, in case you care - the video had a lot of noise from the audience and you could barely hear my voice. I ended up knowing my city actually offered a studio for anyone in the city who find interest in music and needed help so, I reached them. I signed all the paperwork needed and, after they called me confirming the studio was available that day we started recording. I chose There You'll Be by Faith Hill because for some reason right now I relate more to that song. 

Anyway, moving on to the interesting stuff, did you there are different microphone's to different voices? It scared the hell out of me knowing my voice sounded exactly as I heard on my phone and ,let's be honest, who haven't recorded themselves singing with their phones? But, don't worry, there's a different microphone "adapted" for all type of voice so the person I was with switched this mic to this one. Let me tell you my voice sounded way more realistic and I could recognize myself singing.

I was at the studio one hour and a half and even though I did five takes the record still wasn't finished to the producer - if we can call him so - said it was better to set another date to be there again. 

5884 Days

25 January 2000, 2:15 AM

It must have been one month ago the last time I wrote something about you. That day I felt inspired to I grabbed my laptop and started writing. Since this year started I've been reading it almost everyday but, seems there's always something else to add. It's the problem of having such a wonderful mother as you.

I remember the next three nights I fell asleep with tears in my eyes because I missed you. I know maybe what I'm about to ask you is impossible but can you come here, just for a day, so we can all say goodbye to you as it was supposed to be? I was too little when it all happened and I think I didn't even know you were sick, I only know for what I remember and I am told. - I'm sorry if you can see me crying right now - I don't think there's anyone who has said goodbye the way they really wanted to because you went away so suddenly. It's now 1 A.M. There's only one hour and a quarter for the moment yo left. If I stay awake until then will you try to come back? I'll be here waiting for you, I promise.

You have so many people missing you as much I do. Everyone love you so much that it's hard to understand how much of a good person someone can be for that to happen and I'm sure each one of them would want you to come either. I'd love to see you again but mostly to have you in my arms and, you can bet I'd make a speech of how much I love you and I'd keep saying it over and over again until you had to leave, even though it would hurt me.

Do you remember when you were cleaning on saturdays and you told dad to go for a ride because you didn't like anyone at home and you moved all the furniture? And when you went to grandma on the weekends, sundays I believe, and you fed me soup really hot and when when we got home and you didn't let me go to bed before I took a shower? Do you remember when you bought dad a camera? And wanting to have a second child? I'd love that was possible. I was thinking about names and I only recall boys names, I'd like his name to be Afonso. If it was a girl I don't know, there's any name that stands out for me but maybe we both could come up with something.

It's two minutes past the time, where are you? Are you on your way or are you late? If you got lost tell me and I'll meet you. I need you. Can you hear me? I miss you SO MUCH, much more than the stars that might be in the sky and I want you to know that I LOVE YOU more than anything. It's twenty five minutes past the time so I think you're not coming. Either way I hope to see you soon, in flesh and bone, even if it's only in my dreams.

Rest in peace mommy ♥ 

9 reasons to go Dutch

One of the very first things you should know about me is that I love languages. I'm currently learning Dutch, for almost a year now, and I'm proud of how much I know so far - even though is not a lot - and how much I'm capable of without an extra help, like a teacher for example.

This week while watching random youtube videos I bumped into this one called 9 reasons to learn Dutch so I decided to watch it just to know what did Lindsay had to say about Dutch languages and I think she has pretty convincing arguments. Press play and let me know your thoughts.

Send a drop of kindness

We all have good and bad days and, this past week I wish it was a good one where you achieved goals or started to put your plans back on track. If not, I want you to keep your head straight and eyes in the future because, tomorrow's another day and new things are waiting to happen.

This day comes to an end but there's a week just about to start and this means new chances, new challenges, new stories about to happen and a new page waiting to be written so, don't stop trying and along the way send a drop of kindness. 

Send a drop of kindness, 

And see a happy face.

A drop of kindness goes real far,

It may even reach outer space.

Send a drop of love,

And feel a loving embrace.

It feels so good to feel like,

You are in the right place.

Send a drop of hope,

But be that shining star.

Hope is wonderful to have,

But sometimes you can't sit away so far.

Send a drop of faith,

With a single prayer.

And God will show the way,

As faith is always there.
