Stilettos.

Men are a strange race indeed.

My brother has 4 sisters. 

We all were always big fans of dressing up and make up. Or most of us at least.

One of my sisters always went for the sport or casual look.

But, as I was saying, dresses, purses, bags, make up and shoes, specially high heel ones, is nothing that my brother had't hear for most of life.

Today, during a conversation, he mentioned something about stilettos and I was so surprised to hear him saying that word and knowing exactly what he was talking about.

And the surprise is there because he has never even put a bit of thought in any of those female loves. And now suddenly he even brings it to conversation?! 

How, you  may ask.

Easy. His new girlfriend loves a stiletto, the higher the better, and apparently now she has been teaching him a thing or two and he actually has listened to it.

Love makes wonders, isn't it? 

Happy Sunday!

Sunsets.

There is something magical every time I see one.

And if it is near the ocean, then I can almost assure that all around me has just tons of positive energy that will last for a long time with me.

I guess it doesn't matter how old we get, there are always some experiences or feelings that make us feel like a child and think anything is possible.

When in Portugal, I am lucky enough to live in a distance-walk from several beaches. This last time I managed to visit the latest wooden walk they have built around the coast and if you ever go there, make sure you don't miss it.

Wow 2019 is here.

It's been more than a month since last time I came here.

Can't say there is a specific reason. Just Life happening and some lack of will.

I have to say that I have been feeling very lost for the last few months, if not for the all year.

There are too many moments where I can say I lost track of who I am and what I was doing.

It started with work, then family and even more romantic relationships, and it ends with my inner me.

I don't seem to be able to find true happiness no matter what. I have short periods of drops of happiness and then it just dries and it is getting harder and harder to see the good things in Life as I was always able to do.

I guess it is the fact that I just got older and made all these deep analysis of who I am and what I have been doing all this time.

There are no specific resolutions for the new year. I want to find myself again and for good.

I will keep working on a healthier Life style, will study to finish my apprenticeship with a good grade, will try to focus in doing a great job at work even when I am bored and at the same time I want to keep giving some moments of joy to my family, specially to my parents.

In 2019, we have 365 new chances to change what we don't like and doesn't make us happy, so I will take it with confidence and hope you all do the same.

Be Happy! No one else can be it for you!

Happy New Year!  

Dancing through Life.

I gave a lot of thought if I should bring this topic to the blog.

I do prefer to talk about positive situations, but every now and then something not that great also happens and there no point of pretending it didn't.

Sometimes I feel I attract problematic people, people full of bad energies who just throw their own resentments and frustrations on me. 

I believe most of the times I can deal with those people pretty well to the point I even stay close to them. 

I realise most of them are not conscious of their behaviour and apart from that I can consider them good people. Other times that doesn't happen like that and, sadly, I get very disappointed.

This time it happened at work. I have this colleague who I have considered a friend up until a few days ago.

It was so bad that at one moment I was apologizing for something I had nothing to do with and I was actually feeling bad and sorry for my colleague.

Only after giving a very deep thought on that I came to realise that it was not my fault that that person was not feeling confident about the work done or even that someone gave me as an example to help with that colleague's work.

I had noticed that my colleague was distant and barely talked to me but it could be something going on or that I said something without noticing I was saying the wrong thing.

But no. It all came to the conclusion that that person was feeling with low self-confidence and somehow the one to blame was me.

I feel sorry that people can be like that and damage good relationship, as the one I believed we had.

Everyone is human and can feel jealous of other people but I think that when it comes to a point that they blame someone else for their own failures or even wish negative things to others, then that people can not be good or good to be around.

I feel sad how this situation turned out but I started to put a lot more distance between us and decided to see that person as just a colleague who don't need to know anything about my personal life or even my achievements at work.

I started this post by saying that I feel I attract negative people because every now and then someone like this appears in my Life.

Anyway, time to move on and let this negative feeling behind.

Have a great week!  

Speed dating.

Yes, I did try a new experience.

I have to say that it was much better than I was expecting.

But it was not something I felt right for me.

I did have fun and don't regret going for one second.

Starting from the least attractive points:

- too many people - my energy was gone by the time I finished talking with all 20 guys about more or less the same topics;

- some veterans in this type of meetings;

- guys who acted like only girls had to impress and made no effort;

- 4 minutes actually looked like 1 but energy lost as it were 30; 

- one or two guys forgot to take a shower.

Positive points:

- there were some handsome guys;

- there were some exceptions to "same old topics";

- It was a new experience;

- the place was really nice;

- the music was top.

If I will go again? Maybe one more time but with a different age bracket (this was 25 - 35) - to see if it is more interesting.

If I would recommend?

Off course. A new experience is always good even if it is to know that we don't want that, so go, try and let me know how was your experience.

Good night!
