19! Yesterday I went to pick up the certificate of my former lecture about Design UI & UX and there was that 19, my grade! I did not expected it, to be honest I was expecting something like 14 or 15, but not 19. So damn good!!
Of course I felt super good about myself.

But at this moment I just want my current lecture to finish, and I just think "One more day!" but actually is 12 more hours.
Need holidays!

I'm not very tattooed or pierced (nowadays) but I know its complicated and boring to hear certain comments!
People are just don't comprehend things outside from their concept of normality, and everything out from that concept motivates comments, confrontation, etc.
Generally I hear comments like "This hurt?", "Why do you do that?", "At work, people don't tell you nothing?", "Have you think how you will look like with 60 years old?" or recently "How do you kiss with that piercing on your lip?"

My concept of normality is different, I know.
What I do with my body, is my own! I do it, because I like it, I enjoy myself this way. Love to see myself in the mirror with tattoos and piercings and make me happy. I wouldn't be happy in another.
Please stop judging others!

But the fact I have piercings and tattoos, doesn't mean I'm a slut, that I drug myself or rob or mislead others.
On the contrary!
I consider myself a good person, a good friend, help other whenever I can and I - truly - love to work... I even volunteer!

If you are curious about some issues, just ask normally never with a tone or funny faces... Come on, grow up!




By the way, body modification is an ancient thing. Its not a modern art.
In fact, since pre-history body modification exists, and some tribes tattooed as a curative method.

And enjoy the rest of your day!

This year is the year of training!
I already made 2 workshops, have another ongoing and if everything goes my way, will be making 2 more until the end of the year.

The first one I did, this year, was UI & UX Design. Was very interesting and I refreshed my knowledge about this issues and added new ones.

The second training was Facebook and Instagram Ads, with Virgínia Coutinho. I wanted to make this workshop for some time and managed to make it in June.
This workshop opened my eyes about how facebook gather information about its users and how companies can use this information to make profits. The potential is enormous!
Literally, you can do almost everything.
This workshop last 2 days, after hours and honestly I thought this workshop could last at least a couple more hours, due the complexity and functionality of Facebook Business Platform. If you are curious about this platform, go here: https://business.facebook.com/

And if you want to take this workshop, go: http://virginiacoutinho.com/ or search Virginia on facebook 😉


At this moment, I'm taking another training of Post Production of Video. Admit its been a challenge because I have little knowledge of editing or production of video and the exercises are a bit hard for me. Among almost 30, I'm one of few with little or no knowledge in this area. Really have to train and exercise. In the end, will be an exam and I want a good grade... The pressure!

And enjoy the rest of your day!

After a long period of addiction FKA Twigs, I turned to Banks. Both styles are very similar with little diferences.

Banks is more melodious and less calculating in the letters and in the way of expressing, besides having less pretension of shocking than FKA Twigs. As always I don't concern a lot the nationality or his/her background but I'm more concern about musicality, but all the ones that follow me already knows this :)

Banks is all about human relationships, intimacy, sexuality and even depression. She admited she had a very 'dark' period in her life. All this is visible in her music.

In my opinion, her lyrics are wonderful, specially "Weaker Girl", every time I hear it I think "Why I didn't wrote this?" On top of everything the music has violin, could be more perfect!

I love the way Banks express herself verbally and visually. She is so sexy but she also looks so fragile and so secure of herself, just look at her in "Beggin For Thread".

Attention, some music are explicit!
These are my 4 favorites.








And enjoy the rest of your day!

Everything is better with 2 drummers! Yes this music is pure genius... Listening for 2 days in a row and can't get enough.

...a very complicated day for me!
Since I remember I hate my birthday, hate have all attentions on me, hate the fact I have to talk with people and kiss people I don't even want to touch...
I remember as a child not want parties, I didn't want to grow up and is a day full of mix emotions.
Later, this day had several events that mark me for life, so much that influenced my love life for ever...
All on my birthday...

But I know I have a group of friends that are fantastic! Little in number but amazing.
They sent me videos by whatsapp, they sent me pictures of themselves with cut dog/fox filters, I also have an amazing mamacita (my mum from work) that gives me strange but beautiful gifts!

Nevertheless, year after year this negative feeling gets worst.
So this year I planned something special!
I will be tattooing in the end of the day, and sadly will be a very small tattoo.
The time this post will be online, I will be in the studio with my dear friend Gemeniano Cruz empowering my day!

A receber os parabéns do meu amor
