SALES! SALDOS! SALES! SALDOS! #1

PT

Pai, perdoai-me porque pequei >.<. Hoje fui à Baixa de Lisboa com a minha mãe e como devem saber hoje começaram os SALDOS! Eu fui com a minha mãe basicamente para ajuda-la porque ela precisava de comprar alguns temperos e roupa para ela. Meti na cabeça, "não Karen... não vais comprar nada..." táááá beeemmm...

No total comprei 6 cosinhas para mim, e a minha mãe também comprou 6 peças de roupa :P. Ehpah a história da crise em Portugal, ppfffff, não sei se o pessoal esteve toda à espera dos Saldos, mas lá que a lojas estavam cheias, estavam... desdas 10 da manhã.

No meu post das minhas compras de Dezembro logo mostro tudo que comprei durante o mês como deve ser. Mais um detalhezinho sobre coisas de "marca" quueee oohh paaahh. Já é a segunda vez que vejo disto.

E então vão atacar os saldos?
P.S.: Para aqueles que vivem em Portugal, de acordo com uma funcionária da H&M os Saldos só vão durar DUAS SEMANAS! Por isso não esperem muito se ainda querem encontrar algo no vosso tamanho , e coisas giras.

EN

Forgive me Father but I have sinned >.< . Today I went to Downtown Lisbon with my mother and as you probably may know the SALES season has started today. I went with my mother so that I could basically help her, she needed to buy some spices and clothes for her. I put in my head "não Karen... you will not buy anything..." yeeeeaaahhhh right...

In total I bought 6 things for myself, and my mother also bought 6 things for her. :P. The story of the crises in Portugal, ppfffff, I don't know if the people have been waiting for the Sales season, but the stores were very full... since 10am this morning.

On my post of December's shopping i will show you in details what I bought during this month. Plus a little detail about things of cetain "brands" that ooohh mmaannnn. It is already the second time that I see this.

Soooo will you attack this Sales season?

Dexter, the end of Season 6 :(

PT

No dia 18 de Dezembro deu o último episodio da sexta temporada de Dexter :(.

Como dizia, acho eu que era no jogo do Hugo, “ooohhh logo agora que o jogo estava a aquecer…”.

Para quem não conhece Dexter, é uma série composta por cerca de 12 episódios por temporada, sobre um expert em sangue da Policia de Miami, queeeee mata gente MÁ :D, gente que obviamente devia ser presa pelos crimes que cometeram mas que de alguma forma conseguem escapar à prisão, entonces o Dexter trata deles. Eu AMO esta série!

Eu achei esta sexta temporada espectacular, teve ali uma reviravolta de surpresa, e depois um final BANG OMG! Claramente haverá uma sétima temporada maaaasss “rumour has it” que a próxima temporada só virá em 2014! SSAAYY WHHAAATTT?

Eu ainda não sei o porquê desta decisão, pode ser que alguns dos actores podem estar envolvidos em outros projectos; pode ser que o actor principal Michael C. Hall ainda esteja em recuperação, ele teve cancro recentemente ou então eles simplesmente decidiram voltar só em 2014…

Bem se isto for verdade, eu vou dar em maluca (ou não) por ter de esperar 2 anos pela próxima temporada.

EN

On the 18th of December it aired the last episode of the sixth season of Dexter :(.

For those that don’t know Dexter, it’s a series made of 12 episodes per season, about an expert in blood sparer from Miami Police, thaaattt kills BAD people :D, people that obviously should be arrested for the crimes that they committed but that somehow they managed not to go to prison, soooo Dexter takes care of them. I love this series!

I think that this sixth season was awesome, there was like a surprised spin and then a BANG finally OMG! Clearly there will be a seventh season bbbbuuuutttt “rumour has it” that the next season will only air in 2014! SSAAYY WHHAAATTT?

I still don’t know the reason of this decision, , it could be that some of the other actors are involved in other projects; it could be that the main actor, Michael C. Hall is still in recovery, he had cancer recently or they just simply decided to come back in 2014…

Well if this is true, I will go crazy bananas (or not) because I have to wait 2 years for the next season.

Food Obsession #1 - 7Days

PT

Olá a todos!

Hoje trago-vos um novo segmento do meu Blog intitulado de “Food Obsession”. Eu gosto de comer e adoro snacks. Quando estava em Praga, descobri estas tostinhas e croissants da marca 7 Days, ooohhh meeeuuuuuu DEUS que devinal! Quando comia em casa as tostas, eu juntava quase sempre um tipo de queijo, tipo Philadelphia mas mais grosso, aaaiiiiiii >.<. E os croissants, aquecia sempre uns 10 segundos no microondas para o recheio derreter hhuummmm e AH estes croissants continham dois sabores por dentro hhummmmm, aahhh que saudades!

EN

Hello everyone!

While I was in Prague, I discovered these little toasts and croissants from a brand called 7 Days, ooooohhhhmmyyyy GOD devine! When I ate the toasts at home, I always added like a cream cheese, kinda like Philadelphia but thicker, aaaawwwww >.<. And Le croissants, I used to warm them up for like 10 seconds in the microwave so that the filling would melt and hhuuummmmm and OH these croissants had two flavoured fillings inside :P  hhuuummm, aaawww I miss them so much!

Merry Christmas/Feliz Natal 2011

PT

Olá a todos e Feliz Natal!

Como foi a vossa quadra natalícia? A minha foi passada só com os meus pais. Já há muitos anos que não passava só com eles. Normalmente nós vamos sempre para Queluz, para a casa de outros familiares nossos, mas eles este ano, foram para Inglaterra, ter com o resto da família. Já que a maior parte da família deles vive em Londres, sai mais barato serem só duas pessoas a irem para lá, do vir cerca de 8 para Portugal.

Anyways, jantamos, bacalhauzinho com natas e um outro bacalhau diferente para o meu pai, e para sobremesa, fatias douradas e bolo de fruta cristalizada.

E de presentes, para além de algum dinheiro que recebi de familiares, recebi o seguinte:

EN

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!

How was your Christmas Eve? Mine was spent just with my parents. It’s been a few years since I spent just with them. Normally we go to Queluz, to the house of some family members of our, but this year, they went to England to meet with the rest of the family. Since the majority of their family lives in London, it’s cheaper for them to be just to people travelling there then coming 8 people to Portugal.

Anyways, we had diner, codfish with cream and a different codfish preparation for my father, and for desert, golden slices, and a cake with crystallized fruit inside.

As for the presents, in addition to some money that some family members gave I also received the following:

Musical Friday #30

PT

Olá a todos! Como foi a vossa semana? A minha… “babysitting”… é tudo. A maior parte da minha papelada para o meu estágio em Londres já está tratada e para a semana que vem com sorte já terei o meu portátil, e assim poderei pesquisar como deve ser um quarto para alugar. Pesquisar em certos website no meu PC fixo de casa é um martírio... ehpah não dá. Amanhã finalmente voltarei para casa, lar doce lar… só espero que as obras do meu vizinho tenham acabado >.<.

De qualquer das maneiras para aqueles que celebram o Natal, Feliz Natal!

EN

Hi everyone! How was your week? Mine… babysitting… that’s all. Most of my paper work for my internship in London is done and next week if I’m lucky I will have my laptop back, so that way I will be able to search for a bedroom to rent. Searching in certain websites on my home PC it’s crazy bananas.. I just can’t. Tomorrow I will finally go home, home sweet home… I just hope that the constructions at my neighbor’s house are finished >.<

Anyways for those that celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas!

Justin Bieber – Fa La La feat. Boyz II Men – OKEI….. wait… don’t judge me lol! No I’m not necersserly a Justin Bieiber fan, but since is Christmas season this songs is kinda appropriate, plus it has Boyz II Men, and their song used to be good stuff.

100 YEARS of East London Style in 1:41m

PT

Olá a todos :).

Ontem comecei o dia com uma boa noticia... o meu Portátil já foi arranjado :D agora só falta arrotar 135€ BUUURRRRPPP.... Só deverei ter o Portátil para a semana que vem. Isto porque como ficarei aqui na casa da minha tia até sábado, e a loja vai fechar no sábado e domingo, devido à época natalícia, então na segunda-feira irei levar o meu disco rígido do Portátil, para o técnico voltar a por lá dentro. Aiaiaiaiai

Deixo-vos com um videozinho sobre os 100 anos de moda da zona Este de Londres.

Eu não acredito que faltam cerca de 3 semanas para eu viajar para Londres, ainda não “caí nah réauuuu”.

EN

Hello everyone :).

Yesterday I started my day with some good news... my Laptop has been fixed :D now the only thing that is missing is me burping 135€ BUUURRRRPPP... I will probably only have my Laptop next week. Because since I'm staying at my aunt house till Saturday and the store will be closed on Saturday and Sunday, due to the Christmas season, so on Monday I will take the hard disk of my Laptop for the technician so that he can put it back inside.  Aiaiaiaiai.

I will leave you with a little video about the 100 years of style at East London.

I can’t believe I’m like 3 weeks away for my journey to London, this is all still a bit unreal.

PT

Olá todos (sim estou a escrever em português, sim é raro, sim é estranho para mim também haha), no sábado passado eu e a Akuma Kanji fomos a um almoço de Bloggers, Youtubers e leitores, no Centro Comercial do Colombo e depois do almoço houve uma troca de prendas, tipo amigo secreto, eu recebi um colar.

Eu esta semana estarei pela casa da minha tia, mas quando voltar para casa depois faço upload das fotos que eu tirei e do video que eu filmei :P.

Foi divertido rever algumas caras, que eu conheci no mês passado no Sleek MakeUp Focus Group, e conhecer alguma novas :)

EN

Hello everyone, last Saturday me and Akuma Kanji went to a Bloggers, Youtubers and viewers lunch, at the Colombo's Shopping Mall and after lunch there was a sap of gifts, kinda like a secrret friend as we call it, I recieved a necklace.

Musical Friday #29

Hiya everyone? Again sort of a quick post, 'cause I still have to pack my bag. I don't know how frequently I will be able to post next week. I will be staying at my aunt's house, helping her take care of her grandson, the boy is kinda sick.

But before that, tomorrow is Saturday and Akuma Kanji and I will be at a Bloggers, Youtubers and etc... lunch gathering, at the Colombo Shopping Mall. I'm very excited >.<

I will take pictures and probably film aswell, although I probably will only be able to post about after I return from my aunts house. She does have Internet, but is one of those Pens internet, and I think there is a limite on upload/downloads, so I will only use it to check my emails or maybe do a quick random post here.

So now I leave you with some music, have a nice weekend and I see you next time :)

Laidback Luke vs. Example - Natural Disaster – I looovveee this song so much >.< It just makes me dance dance dance untz untz untz :P

Quick post! #4

Hi everyone. Sorry for the lack of post, but this week has been kinda uufff.

I would like to share these pics with you. Last week it was my friend's Akuma Kanji's Bday, and she recieved a few Bday gifts, some of them nailpolish, so that night she painted my nails. She used one coat of a Black Illamasqua nailpolish named Boosh, and then one coat of a dark Glitter nailpolish from Hits no Olimpo in the colour Zeus, although on my pinky finger she used another Hits no Olimpo nailpolish called either Hefesto or Artemis. I can't really spot the difference between them on my nails lol, but my friends can see it.

I haven't painted my nails in black in ages, I quite miss it, when I was a teenager I used to paint them black all the time.

What do you think?

My archived journey to Mozambique - Week #1

OMG I can’t believe that it has been a year already >.<. At this hour last year I was in Mozambique, preparing myself for another day of family fun. Oh yeah, most of you probably don’t know, I have family in Mozambique, my parents are from Mozambique, but I was born in Portugal.

I’ve been to Moz. (aka Mozambique) twice now, first time was back in 2001, during Summer vacation from High School, my uncles from my mother’s side paid my ticket, so that way I could meet my family members that I never met before, specially my grandparents (from my mom’s and my father’s side) I was 15 years old, I stayed there for like 3 months and I returned to Portugal just a couple of days after the 9/11 attack in New York, OMG I was so scared flying back home.

In December 2010, I returned to Moz. for a month, my uncle from my father’s side, paid me and other family members that live in Portugal, tickets to go to Moz. so that we could go to his eldest son’s wedding. Unfortunately my parents could not go, because my father was still kinda sick and the Doctor advice him not to go due to his health, so my mother stayed with him :(. That situation sucked like crazy bananas, because since my parents left Moz, about 27 years ago, they have never returned, can you imagine not seeing your brothers and parents for more than 20 years?:/

Musical Friday #28

Hello everyone? How was your week?

Mine was pretty calm. On Wednesday I was at my friend’s Daniela, aka Akuma Kanji house, it was her birthday, and I died her hair :P, it isn’t the first time that I do that to her, but it was the first time that that I put rollers on her hair hehe. It was fun, I like her new hair colour, it’s on the plums shades. And then he decided to put rollers on her hair, I sometimes put on mine, it’s a lot of work but the final effect it’s nice. My sleeping hours are still out of control >.< I’m becoming almost a Vampire, just wanna sleep during the day and do stuff at night lol. This is not good… I gotta start changing this bad habit of mine.

Drake – Headlines – When this single came out and my boyfriend showed to me, I was like meh… but then it started growing on me, and now I love it :P. “True story” haha. I love his lyrics, the simple beats and the way he singing/raps, I like his tone of voice. Did you know that Drake is Canadian?

 

Christina Aguilera - Secret Potion Perfume Commercial

I don't know why, but it seems that my favourite perfumes belong to celebraties, singer and actors. I have one perfume from Christina Aguilera "By Night" and I looovvveeeeee it! And I also like the previous ones. Now I would like to smell this one. I tried going to her website to request a sample but I guess thye don't send it to Portugal -_- bah!

If you seen Miss Aguilera recently she gain a few pounds (attention, nothing against that), although I think she lost already a few pounds, but still her body doesn't look like it used to.... and on the picture above she is so clleaaarly photoshoped oh lord.....

June's Resume #7 @ Prague

For those that are new to my Blog I will quickly explain. This year for 9 months I lived in Prague, Czech Republic, and I wanted to document my experience here, but I failed to do regularly so I’m trying to catch up!  Soooo let’s go!

- On the 1^st of June, I went to Plami’s house, a small house gathering, with other girls, and then we went to a bar/club called K.U. – it’s funny ‘cause those are my name´s initials haha- on the 2^nd of June was Plami’s actual Bday, so we did an overnight celebration. I had to leave early, ‘cause I had an early shift on the next day :/. K.U. club is really good, Pepe the Dj of that night, who used to be a colleague of ours, was playing there, the music was great, although the bar didn’t seemed to have much of a dance floor :/ such a pity.

Photos from Plami's flat and K.U. Bar Lounge.

Musical Friday #27

Heelllooo Boys and Girls.

How was your week? Mine, I finally got some good new, I will be going to LONDON, and I will start doing my internship in January for 6 months #insert Austin Power's theme song here# “Ooohh behave, yeah Baby yeah!”. I am so excited! My original plan was to go back to Prague, but some things went wrong, so now I will be going to London. Which by the way is not bad, not bad at all. I’ve been in London like 6 times, in 2009/2010 I was doing Erasmus in Nottingham, so when I flew to and off the country I I went to London, plus I have family there, which let my mother more calmed. She says that when I was in Prague, she wasn’t calm, because I was there “alone” blab la… mothers…

Sooo yeah, soon I will start packing again, oh lord! I thought that by this time I would have Mastered the thing, but no…. I have to do lots of calculations, especially with the RENT and if with that is it worth it for me to take a lot of clothe. I lived in the  U.K. for 9 months … it will be extreeeemely hard for me to not go shopping over there, with shops like, River Island, Next, Topshop, New Look, loads of Primarks, and cosmetics stores like Boots or Superdrug >.< so if I take a lot of clothes and buy more clothes, what do we have? Excess luggage weight. When I go in January, I’m pretty sure there will be snow, but the cold won’t last as long as it did when I was in Prague. Like in Prague, this year in March I was still wearing winter coats, scarves and gloves… when I was in the U.K, in 2010 during March I was wearing a shirt and one jacket. Buuuttt I will keep you posted on that subject.

Have a nice weekend, Ciao ;)

Lady Gaga - Marry The Night – New Single – So the new video is out, I saw it last night (01-12-11) on Facebook. If you haven’t seen it I must warn you that the whole video has about 13 minutes, the music part only starts at 8m. What can I say about it… the video kinda looks like a story of her musical carrier, but you know… more theatrical XD. There are scenes that I like, and other that I don’t get like, when she is on car, upside down, what is that all about o_O? Oh yeah you can see Gaga naked again lol, and on the end of the video you can see her with that “satellite” hat/mask, like the one she whore at the MTV’s EMA 2011.

 

November's Shopping

Hello everyone! Wow I can't believe we are in December already, isn't that crazy? It's like I say, since the year 2000 came, time feels it flies. Last year by this time, I was preparing my bag for my journey to Mozambique - f.y.i. I will also do a resume of my vacation there - in the meantime I spent 9 months in Prague, now I'm back to Portugal.

Anyways, as we know we are going trough a crises moment in our country - Portugal - financially speaking, so I can't buy everything I want :/. But still I managed to buy a few things this month, things that I actually need it, and here they are.

Ear warmers from Claire's, I been wanting these for a while, and when I saw this one in Black at Claire's "I gotz to haz it!
