Oh, listening music and working, because I still need to work hard this August!

Listening Michael Bublé "Quando, Quando, Quando". I listened this song yesterday on the radio whilst I was driving and it was absolutely divine! That moments that we can't explain by words but just feel.

" (...) every day seems a lifetime!" Oh, do we need to say more? I found a video with this song just here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aln-zOWc9mg
Not with the best quality but the song worths.

I'm also dreaming about old movies. Casablanca touched my heart definitely. The acting is brilliant, stunning, Oh I loved! Looking for more old black and white movies, for sure.
Some suggestion?

I'm completely in love.

Oh, I need to say it.

My heart is full of love, all of my soul is smiling because of you and I can't keep it locked anymore. I'm in love. Completely...

"To understand that each one is unique is to have respect.

Projection: We usually expect others to change according to our expectations. We actually want everyone to get moulded according to our own value system. But it doesn't happen so because each one is different.

Solution: We need to understand that each one is unique with their own specialities. When we look at others in this way we will no longer expect others to change according to our wish but will have full respect for them."

Message for the day 30th July 2010 (From Brahma Kumaris)

Vanilla ice cream!

I love vanilla ice cream I must say. I like other flavors of ice cream but nothing is like vanilla ice cream. When I got home from work today (a friend of mine got me 3 days of work serving wine to actors/actresses in a theater in the capital where she works. She was very concerned because she couldn't get anyone to do this so I'm also helping her. I don't have too much to do actually. I just serve wine if they want to, otherwise I stay quiet and wait for the play to start to go home).

Well, as I was saying, I delighted myself with 2 cups of milk with vanilla ice cream... nhami nhami nhami. I can't say no to this little pleasure of life. These moments are purely me enjoying my milk with ice cream and feeling like a child with a new toy... happy.
There are moments unique and special. Simple moments that makes difference within.

Another day seeing that people like to talk!

I don't understand why people have the necessity to create problems and more anxiety in other's lives. Yesterday one person from my family start to ask me things about if... if.... if... if....

and today one friend of mine start to say things that seemed to be inevitable.

People don't know how to live without creating problems and if clauses? Really! They were stressing about my life. I repeat, MY life.

Let's clear some things: Everything that I can control is under control and feelings, which we don't control at all aren't controled.

Sounds good? Sounds perfect to me. It's so good when I'm not trying to control everything, oh really, it's so good and tastes wonderfully.

Without all anxiety that people are showing life gets its own and unique path.

Why should I take the same path as you if I'm not you?

Why people just don't accept each other as they are and try to move others from their ways?

"Sometimes you need to forget the rules and remember your heart"

The quote from Cairo Time film is absolutely amazing, stunning, marvelous, simply beautiful!

And just God knows how I love that crazy and magic city, that beautiful country and that people.
It's something that is above me and I fortunately don't control and it's good.

It's wonderful when you just allow yourself to experience how life is beautiful without fears and labels. It's damn good when you allow yourself to be you without pressures to be A, B or C.

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD and HAPPY.

Enjoying the brise of the Summer working.

Program for my night: work.

I'm saying since June that this Summer, this Summer I will start to do my thesis... and I'm still saying that and nothing happens GLUP... aaaaaahhhhhhh. It's now! I'm going to read articles!!

Today my right eye woke up feeling sick.

It looks bigger than usual and something is not ok inside this eye. I'll have to clean it with some special liquid.

Perhaps some stuff went inside and it's hurting my eye. I have no idea! But it is giving me itching right now...

I used to avoid falling in love.

I used to show a cold face because I didn't want anyone to disturb my world within due my uncoscious and conscious fears.

I used to swallow my feelings and hide them.

I used.

Today I want to leave this part of me like a snake leaves its skin because I know, God Knows that I'm more than that. More than fears. I'm a person who is following dreams, feeling and being unit, being essence and loving every single being.

And today I know what means to be light and Love. I am free.
Today I'm not afraid of feeling and being. I'm not afraid to show you that I care.
And I thank God for the blessings that He is giving me.
I'm feeling as part of the light, a part of the Universe.
And there's no fears at all. Because HE shows me the path.

Lately the heat of the Summer has been so terrible that I was forced to fall in love with my electric fan. ACs in this country seem to be all sold out because people are desesperate with the high temperature and they are buying AC's like crazies.


I understand them very well because I don't have AC at home and for the first time I thought about ACs. Moreover, we had some nights where nobody could sleep well.

So, I found my electric fan and it is working almost all day. I hope it continue working well to keep me safe from 40ºC.

Be free in everything that you do.




Be a butterfly that flies through the sweetest wind of God and Love every person in your life.



Sometimes we forget, I forget, to thank God for all the blessings in our, my, life. So, where I am saying thank God. Thank YOU for showing me that Life is absolutelly beautiful and can be light when we allow ourselves to feel. Just feel. Without fears, without fears.

"E quando alguém te tentar cortar as asas, vais também saber que há concessões que nunca, jamais se fazem. E esta é uma delas."

I have just watched Casablanca this night whilst I enjoyed (not really) the hot temperature of the Summer!

The days have been soooo hot this Summer that sometimes I don't know if I'm in Cairo or Lisbon. Well, I'm always saying that I'm missing Cairo so here I am, with temperatures of 41C in my country. It wasn't necessary flight tickets, luggage... but I still prefer to stay in a plane for 4 or 5 hours to reach Egypt land.

Plans for the Summer and in course: watching films, reading a lot, preparing dance (or dancing?) classes to September - June, thesis work and more work. Seems like a quite busy and calm Summer for me :)

Feeling good

Working on new projects and feeling calm, finally!! I spend all my year planning choreographies, sequences and classes! apart of being on holidays I'm still planning but feeling good about it. New projects are on the way, a new perspective, a challenge and a new inspiration. I'm feeling new!

Organizing life! Reading a lot (yes, yes, yes!), watching films almost everyday, recovering energies, meditating and studying dancing! (reading, watching videos, writing...).

Hmmmm... feels good to feel free from all univ study.

Feels good to have a good conversation with my family.

Feels good to have a day off.

Feels good to be with friends and laugh.

Feels wonderfully to love.

Photo took in BCN airport. It says:
"digues que m'estimes
dime que me quieres
tell me that you love me"

And I say: Perfect!!

"I know, my love, that you never left (...) and everything around me is saying you are always with me (...) inside my heart you are always with me"

From a song that I listened today

Lately my body and my brain just can think about sleep!

I had terrible nights where I couldn't sleep well at all and it turned at a point that Saturday morning my body was totally in pain. This night I finally slept well and I know that helped to be with my friends before I went to sleep! We spent hours together sharing stories and laughing and it was definitely good. How I love to laugh and being with my truely friends!
So, today, I woke up at 2pm almost recovered from my terrible nights of sleeping took a good shower and felt like new! at least for a couple of hours...
Besides that I still feel that I need to sleep. I know that part of this tiredness is completely phychological and I'm trying to rest my brain as much as I can to work better afterwards but sometimes we are soooo tired that we don't know what it's best for us!
So, I fell asleep next to my kitty as usual... and I'm back (again) to study!

After tomorrow I think I'll take some days off to go to the beach and see films and read books!!

Sometimes my windows media player has a panic attack and select some tracks from different albums that I have stored here (laptop). It happened some minutes ago and I found one song from a band that I don't listen for a long time and guess what? It made me sing like crazy!
The song is very very funny and positive! Well, it was a good moment of craziness after all and it just took 3 minutes! ahahahah



Now I'm already listening arabic music so my heart found its sweetness again! Another day I was reading something in the internet about Arabic culture and is said that Arabs and Arabic culture in general are skin-deep. They do everything in their lives with such a deep feeling that can cause some awkward feelings on other people and this automatically obligates me to think about me because I do everything with feeling! Is there any other way to do things if you don't feel nothing about something/someone?

I can't dance (I mean, with my soul!) if I don't feel like, I can't love someone if I don't feel my soul completely envolved (and God knows how difficult it is to open my heart to someone) and I don't eat if my body doesn't ask for it! Well, maybe I'm just a sensitive person who loves cats and this is just a casual idea about how deep we all are nowadays...

Are we deep enough?

Ideas on Beauty

"It has been aptly said that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. It has to be seen, however, to which kind of beauty this saying applies.

It is observed that a person, having facial beauty, is not necessarily beautiful at heart. For example, a lady who has attractive looks, no longer looks beautiful if she acts like an enraged bull in china shop. So, it has been truly said that handsome is he that handsome does.

Again, beauty is subjective. For instance, anyone who is a lover of nature, cannot resist being drawn to a beautiful flower, but to a bird a flower is only a thing to be nibbled at. So, beauty does not necessarily lie in the colour or contours, rather it lies in the eye of the beholder."

Beauty in only skin-deep.

From Brahma K.

Just like a tree: what it's important, it's inside, not outside!

Looking for Ruba Nadda's films!

I have seen one film from Ruba Nadda (writer, director and producer), called Cairo Time and I decided to explore more about this brilliant woman, who forced luck and fate to do this simple and lovely film in the capital of Egypt.

I found that she's Arab/Canadian and she has a very particular trade mark when writing stories dealing with themes such as love stories between Muslim and non-Muslim and Islam.

In order to watch more films from her and to get to know more about her work I'm seeking through the internet where I can find it but I didn't get anything so far.

Maybe I'll try to bother someone from the nearest club video!

Cupcakes

I'm wondering if these cupcakes are really great as they look like! Hmmmm...

I always said that the best way to organize your life is organizing your wardrobe!

That's what I did yesterday and today! Organized my wardrobe, some shelves, selected my make up (some that I don't use and I think I'll never use) and million of other stuff!

It's like therapy for me!

P.S.: I found this photo too comic that's why I decided to post it!

Busy days, busy week!

My mind is full of new ideas, all about steps, choreographies, music...
I'm needed in terms of creation. My mind is always wishing more, creating more and studying more styles and ways of dancing!!

The last movie that I saw

This one was introduced by a friend and I couldn't believe that this escaped me! I saw it this morning because I couldn't wait long.

Oh... I saw Cairo, heard Cairo, felt Cairo again!!
And listening to Oum Kalthoum so many times in the movie was absolutely beautiful! Oh, I miss so much Cairo, I miss so many things...!

Today, I found myself studying hard between tons of papers when I decided to turn on my tv...

And who was singing the best fado ever? Ana Moura!! Ohhhh, singing fado and remembering me why I love so much her songs... why I like so much her fado! The lyrics, the intruments, everything is fantastic and all my body cells, my soul returned to its inner peace and sweetness! hmmmmm... :)

New acquisitions: 3 books from Dadi Janki that obviously will fill my soul and keep my heart peaceful.

Why I'm suddenly become addicted to books? Can't stop thinking about the next one I'll read when I'm still reading and have a lot of others waiting for me?!

Hmmm let's see: I'm still reading Louise as I told on another post because I don't have much time to read or I manage very badly my time! Glup, first confession: I'm not good managing my time (!), hmm... ok it's better to stop counting the books that I want to read because I realized that I have a LOT of them and they are spread in my shelves and tables looking at me right now!

To finish my post - Ana Moura: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w277Foklf1M
Delightful. Brilliant. Emotional.

I'm so in love with fado lately...
