"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.

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!
