Wow.. the end of the year..time for big reflections! Go find your 2007 twelve wishes pink paper..got it? Courage..open it! Deep breath.. ok, start reading..

How many of them came true? Did you go for it?

How many didn't?

So many.. why? Did't try hard enough? Lack of oportunity?

January - Expectation.. holding my breath..

When we were studying and you gave me your ipod..because you knew i like that music..

February - Is there any hope?

Flying for the first time.. and when we were all looking at those magic houses in "Parque Guell".. dreaming moments..

March - Found something..!!

Some after dinner crazy night.. in front of the old cathedral.. when someone passed.. stumbling.. so I called the stranger..

April - Happiness

Moments without words.. in another world..

May - Crazy nights..

A lot of violet flowers flying around us.. on the ground..on everybody's hands..

June - Smiling..

A sunny hot day.. studying outside, under those blue umbrellas.. trying to trace each other with colorfull pens.. I got a five color tatoo.. I was drawing on your hand.. then you smiled..

July - Praying.. on a desk..

When you and I where tired of studying and used to do our Photosynthesis.. math's bar

August - Disappointment.. and doubts.. so many doubts

I was mixing.. to get the perfect color.. and making stars.. painting.. and those tradition coffees.. we were talking.. and he was always spying on us..

September - Sadness..

That bench.. not so "Dolce Vita" in the moment..

October - The world is moving so fast.. Geez.. calm down!

A sad face.. looking to a mobile phone.. when a tear hitted the screen..

November - Need to think..

That pizza lunch.. we were all joking.. running whenever a pizza arrived..that salad that never came.. the girl from the restaurant.. "e piada?"

December - Sitting, waiting, wishing..=)

I was tired and scared.. but you were there.. hugged me.. and I fell asleep

This "you" has many faces.. and many "you"'s are missing..

What are you wishing to the next year?

Health? Success? Accomplishment? Love? Friendship? Money? Family union?

What is really important?

What do you want to remember a year from here?

I'm holding on your rope,

Got me ten feet off the ground

I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me

Then you go and cut me down, but wait

You tell me that you're sorry

Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall

Take a shot for you

And I need you like a heart needs a beat

But it's nothin new - yeah yeah

I loved you with a fire red-

Now it's turning blue, and you say.

"Sorry" like an angel, heaven let me think was you

But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

It's too late to apologize, yeah

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah

I'm holdin on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground...

You can fix it..

I'll be there*

Life goes on.. as it always does.. sometimes getting better.. sometimes not so great.. but we have to keep moving.. 'cause it never stops..

Can you feel it? Beneath your feet? It's calling you..

don't be afraid.. write it!

It's up to us to make the right click in our lives..

Tão rara..

Foto by Nuno Ramos

Mesmo quando tudo pede um pouco mais de calma

Até quando o corpo pede um pouco mais de alma

A vida não pára


Enquanto o tempo acelera e pede pressa

Eu me recuso faço hora vou na valsa

A vida é tão rara


Enquanto todo mundo espera a cura do mal

E a loucura finge que isso tudo é normal

Eu finjo ter paciência


O mundo vai girando cada vez mais veloz

A gente espera do mundo e o mundo espera de nós

Um pouco mais de paciência


Será que é o tempo que lhe falta pra perceber

Será que temos esse tempo pra perder

E quem quer saber

A vida é tão rara (Tão rara)

Shadows will always be there.. the same or another.. but they just fill the room you give them!

'Cause there are stars flying around us.. turning it all so

magical..

Vou contar-te uma história.. posso?

Tudo começou no princípio..no princípio do mundo.. mesmo antes do sol nascer! Tudo á volta era frio, mas havia algo quente que nos envolvia..qualquer coisa de mágico..!O que eu adorei esse qualquer coisa!

Deixei-me levar..pensando que comigo ia ser tudo diferente! Tentei dar-te um pouquinho de luz, de alegria, de amor, de tudo o que te fizesse falta. Aceitaste..e acabaste por descobrir a minha essência! Tao óbvio e no fundo tao escondido.. o meu mundo.. e foste um cavaleiro incansável..sempre a erguer as muralhas que o cruel mundo real teima em destruir! E encontraste-me no meio dessa tua bruma.. ou fui eu que te encontrei.. não o que toda a gente conhece! Mas o autêntico, aquele que não mostras a ninguém! Fiquei tão contente! A bruma desapareceu algum tempo.. e agora perdi-te e tu perdeste-me.. e eu não tenho cavaleiro..nem tu mundo!Então nenhum de nós tem nada..porque o mundo sem o cavaleiro já não faz sentido, e o cavaleiro sem mundo também não tem objectivo.. então que aconteceu ao cavaleiro e ao mundo..? Não sei.. "U tao?" . E não consigo adivinhar que procura o cavaleiro.. por caminhos que teima em perseguir, em que as histórias são sempre as mesmas e as pessoas não lhe dão nada que o faça verdadeiramente feliz! Cavalga sempre.. incansável..então o vazio do cavaleiro cresce.. cresce.. e ninguém se apercebe.. só a unica pessoa que já lhe deu o mundo sabe.. que o que lhe falta.. é aquele qualquer coisa de mágico.. que o faz sorrir sozinho no escuro..

O agora..? Qual o final da história? Tem de ter final? Não sei.. as melhores histórias não tem de ter fim.. nem princípio.. nem têm de existir neste mundo.. só têm de estar vivas algures.. dentro de cada um..

"Todo o real desvanece

Ficam apenas os teus olhos no meu olhar

...

No meio do nada, mas com tudo nas mãos

Não sei sequer o que pensar

...

Será que foi tudo um sonho?

Ou foi só o meu sonho que tentou sonhar?"

By Caçador de Pintaxilgos*

"E eu não posso mais acreditar em sorte, em coincidência. Porque eu pensei, perdi-me, sentei-me como tantas outras vezes, mas desta vez, encontrei-te, entre mil e uma brisas, entre mil e um suspiros, e agora é o teu suspiro que me faz suspirar, o teu olhar que me faz ver o lugar que apenas o sonho um dia trouxe."

Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start
But can't complete
Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release
Oh,the time has comefor my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your ownall cause you won't
Listen....
Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh,
Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
Sooo long ago
Ohh I'm free now and my dreams 'll be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All cause you won't
Listen...
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh,Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
I don't know where I belong
But i'll be movin on
If you don't....
If you won't....
LISTEN!!!...
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start
But I will complete
Oh,Now i'm done believin you
You dont know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice, you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
my ownn...

Acordei com o vibrar de um telemóvel impaciente.. estavas assustado.. além das perdas materiais, não vi réstias da habitual segrança, calma, e boa disposição características.. como que por uma solidariedade intrínseca, fiquei em choque também.. culpei-m por estar tão longe.. a tua voz dormente tentou transmitir uma paz que não era a tua.. adormeci.. mas fui constantemente assaltada por sonhos tristes e negros.. por imagens fugidias e sobretudo medo..

Foto by sissi

Vinha para casa.. embalada pelo som dos carris.. com a cara encostada ao vidro, perdia os olhos numa paisagem pensativa.. cheia de segredos.. Passavam a correr.. as arvores ,os lagos, os pássaros, livres.. Mas o meu pensamento mantinha-se estático, ainda preso ao teu olhar, tão forte, e ao mesmo tempo tão inocente, e tão enigmático.. Questionava-me sobre a felicidade.. tão confusa de definir, e tão simples de identificar quando se sente.. e o que é para cada um.. se é aquele abraço protector, aquele beijo de parar o mundo, algo mais, ou se aquele sorriso sincero basta.. Na eterna inocência cor de rosa de acreditar na simplicidade.. nas memórias esquecidas de tantos momentos.. fechei os olhos e sorri.. =)*

If it is so WRONG..

Why does it feel so RIGHT?

By Helena Vasconcelos

Oh life can be strange

Good and bad in so many ways

And in time you will find

That things are not always what they seem

Well i've got something to say

But you might laugh, joke or run away

Coz i'm awkward and nervous

Sometimes i dont say much at all

But if the rain must fall

If i lose it all

If the world comes down and takes my soul

If the sky turns black

And theres no way back

It won't matter much to me

If i had you

All i need is your love

Oh well dreams can come true

if you know inside you really want them to or you can sit you can wait

You can leave your fate in someone elses hands

Oh but I, I want you

And nothing else can make me feel the way you do

So i'm waiting, i'm wishing

That it's me you'll be holding tonight and every night

(James Morrison)

What holds you?

Will you be my shoulder, when I'm grey and older?

Promise me tomorrow starts with you.

(James Blunt - High)

I can feel the magic floating in the air

Being with you gets me that way

I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've

Never been this swept away

All my thoughts seem to settle on the breeze

When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms

The whole world just fades away

The only thing I hear

Is the beating of your heart

'Cause I can feel you breathe

It's washing over me

Suddenly I'm melting into you

There's nothing left to prove

Baby all we need is just to be

Caught up in the touch

The slow and steady rush

Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be

I can feel you breathe

Just breathe

In a way I know my heart is waking up

As all the walls come tumbling down

I'm closer than I've ever felt before

And I know

And you know

There's no need for words right now

'Cause I can feel you breathe

It's washing over me

Suddenly I'm melting into you

There's nothing left to prove

Baby all we need is just to be



Caught up in the touch

The slow and steady rush

Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be

I can feel you breathe

Just breathe

Caught up in the touch

The slow and steady rush

Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be

I can feel you breathe

Just breathe

I can feel the magic floating in the air

Being with you gets me that way

"Why?"

I Dream things that never were and say

"Why Not?"

When dreaming I'm guided through another world


Time and time again


At sunrise I fight to stay asleep


'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place


'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape


From the life I live when I'm awake





So let's go there


Let's make our escape


Come on, let's go there


Let's ask can we stay





Can you take me higher?


To a place where blind men see


Can you take me higher?


To a place with golden streets





Although I would like our world to change


It helps me to appreciate


Those nights and those dreams


But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights


If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same


The only difference is


To let love replace all our hate





So let's go there


Let's make our escape


Come on, let's go there


Let's ask can we stay





Can you take me higher?


To a place where blind men see


Can you take me higher?


To a place with golden streets





So let's go there


let's go there


Come on, let's go there


Let's ask can we stay





On high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time


Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams


And make them mine





Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams


And make them mine





Can you take me higher?


To a place where blind men see


Can you take me higher?


To a place with golden streets

(Creed - Higher)

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there
When I cry
And the days feel like years
When I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side


When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?



When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you



I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
Are lyin' on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do



When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?


When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you


We were made for each other
I'll keep forever
I know we were
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe
I need to feel you here with me


When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

Time passes by.. and you still can't see people as they are..how hurtful they can be..how unfaithful.. how many lies they can tell.. Why do you still believe in

fairy tales?

We're only taking turns

Holding this world

It's how it's always been

When you're older you will understand



And then again maybe you don't..

I woke up today in London

As the plane was touching down

And all I could think about was Monday

Maybe I`d be back around

If this keeps me way much longer

I don`t know what I would do

You got to understand it`s a hard life,

that I`m going through

And when the night falls around me

And I don`t think I`ll make it through

Ill use your light to guide the way

All I think about is you

L A is getting kind of crazy

And New York is getting kind of cold

I keep my head from getting lazy

I just can`t wait to get back home

And all these days I spend away

Ill make up for this I swear

I need your love to hold me up

When it`s all to much to bear

And when the night falls around me

And I don`t think I`ll make it through

Ill use your light to guide the way

All I think about is you

And all these days I spend away

Ill make up for this I swear

I need your love to hold me up

When it`s all to much to bear

And when the night falls around me

And I don`t think I`ll make it through

Ill use your light to guide the way

All I think about is you

Step one you say we need to talk

He walks you say sit down it's just a talk

He smiles politely back at you

You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right

As he goes left and you stay right

Between the lines of fear and blame

And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best

Cause after all you do know best

Try to slip past his defense

Without granting innocence

Lay down a list of what is wrong

The things you've told him all along

And pray to God he hears you

And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road

Or break with the ones you've followed

He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything

Or he'll say he's just not the same

And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Magu..always in a private sky!

Os risos envolvem-me.. a multidao euforica á minha volta agita-se, salta, vibra.. toda a plataforma oscila enquanto ganha velocidade.. sinto o meu espírito elevar-se no vento que se levanta e que nos acaricia as faces rosadas e os cabelos desgrenhados.. olho de repente e vejo as águas dançar por baixo de nos.. calmas.. pintadas de um sol sublime prestes a desaparecer.. fecho os olhos para guardar instantaneamente aquela imagem nas minhas memorias.. as memorias do Mor(e) finos..

You're asking again I told you before

The beautiful smile hides the troubled soul

Sad faces influence so easily

I already have enough of that inside of me



So funny you're still around after all these years

Ran away so many times, always ended up here

Could not ask for a thing from you

All you gave me I afforded to loose



You see...It's all too sad for me...

It's too hard for me... to believe



It's too painful for me

It's so hard for me... to give

I could be brown

I could be blue

I could be violet sky

I could be hurtful

I could be purple

I could be anything you like

Gotta be green

Gotta be mean

Gotta be everything more

Why dont you like me?

Why dont you like me?

Why dont you walk out the door!

Há pessoas que tanto se preocupam em inventar infelizes mundos fictícios.. que tudo o que farao na vida é pedir esmolas..

Don't try to change the Past.. Future is what matters.

Unfair

A palavra que mais me atravessa a mente é.. "Porquê"? Tudo o que nos acontece esta destinado? Há alguma razao? Merecemos sempre o que nos acontece? Enquanto fico quieta de olhos abertos no escuro,as lagrimas fluem..como se me pudessem lavar de toda a tristeza..mas nao podem. Questiono-me porque razao está nas minhas maos a felicidade,ou melhor, a infelicidade.. de pessoas que me sao tao queridas..e que já fizeram tanto por mim.. em tempos, situaçoes e maneiras tao diferentes.. Pergunto-me se tenho o direito de fazer tal escolha.. ou o que é que me dá esse direito.. Pisco os olhos.. que se habituaram á escuridao.. consigo distinguir algumas formas agora.. que por mais elucidativas que possam ser, nao me dizem o que pretendo saber.. Procuro.. no meu coraçao, no meu corpo, no meu espírito, uma resposta.. e rezo para que a alma nao me abandone.. porque o que queria no fundo era fugir.. porque antes de tudo o mais..é Injusto.

Been living in a fantasy without meaning

Many many times heard..

You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh, that's right

I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh, that's right

If someone said: "Three years from now
You'd be long gone."
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong
I know better
'Cause you said "forever and ever"
Who knew?

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no no

I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

When someone said: "Count your blessings now
For they're long gone."
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said "forever and ever"
Who knew?

I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we, until we meet again
And I won't forget you, my friend
What happened?

If someone said: "Three years from now
You'd be long gone."
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong
And that last kiss I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling, who knew?

My darling, my darling
Who knew?My darling, I miss you
My darling, who knew?Who knew?
