I think I never shared my project with you. This project was very fun to do, getting started was the worst part of all but after creating and elaborating the project, it was easy! I made a project about myself, and the things I love to do and I know, to present them with everything I like and know. That should be the meaning of these projects right? To show everything we know and/or learnt during those 3 years in high school. I actually knew everything even before classes heheheh Creating websites since 2004!

Here’s a preview of my layout! Everything is animated and goes to pages where I have videos I made and edited with voice-overs and effects, a magazine to show I know pagination, and my blog, which actually doesn’t have the same look, I had another layout here before. I made it in a form of my bedroom! I really LOVED working on this project and that gave me the Top grade! heheheheh I was super nervous presenting, though, but it went really good.

CAN’T BELIEVE MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!!!!

Posted by Vera at 21:15 • Category: Blog,Music Comments

For me… the best gifts I could get are the ones that come from the heart, especially those made by the person who offers them. Those are the ones that matter and have more importance to me because you know the person spent some of the time doing that for you. One day someone wrote “Happy Birthday Veruska” using buttons of flowers, I wish I had a picture saved but I can’t find it anywhere. Found it! It was made by “Kismeso” (it’s not her real name). She’s a very kind and sweet girl! Picture below. The flowers are from her garden. She also made more things through the years.

I also got a poem from a lady that lives near me, ?!sleeping socks?! (no idea how these are called in english) and other clothes made by the people who gave them to me,letters, videos and more. Those are always the presents I love the most.

Can’t believe there are only 4 days left for my birthday….

*Thanks to my sis for the help on finding a meaning in english for “sleeping socks”.

My parents have already asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I don’t really know what I want! Since I stopped playing with Barbie’s and whatever I used to get when I was younger, it’s what happens every year. I usually get new mobile phones, laptops, and other gadgets, but I don’t even want that this time, because I already have them, and I LOVEEEE my white-pink phone and my macbook&pc (they are working well). So, whatever I get is welcomed! Some stuff I would love to get from me:

- new earings! I have no idea where are most of the pairs. I only have one of each which is sad. I lost some of my favorites and I have no idea where they are. and also something to keep the earings safe, like the thing my sister has.

- BOOKS!! I never thought I would EVER ask for books, but that’s the truth. I am proud I’ve read 8 already this year, I don’t usually read books, maybe 1 or 2 per year if I feel like it. I really wanted this collection! [Fnac.pt] The real book, and in portuguese. I started reading the original, in english, but I would love to buy this one, but 20€?! Even the twilight saga is cheaper! ALREADY BOUGHT THIS.

- Wonderstruck, I only want this because it’s from Taylor Swift. I don’t even know if I’d like the smell, so it’s a no for this year.

- A new bag.

- I don’t need any more material things. I just wish for health, happiness and good moments.

Tomorrow I am going to SANTARÉM. Lunch with the family in a very traditional place. Excited! I don’t know where we are going next. We’ll see! We were supposed to go to some place in Alentejo, but that’ll have to wait for a better weather. (:

- Added a new song of the moment and changed the book for the one I am currently reading! xx

I decided to go read some of my blog entries from last year, when I was doing my school project and the goal was to update everyday, and realised how much I am better at english. I was reading and correcting my own posts! I guess, watching movies and series without subtitles and reading books written in english helped me a lot. Now I can’t even watch movies with subtitles, it seems so weird having to look at them when you are understanding what they are saying.

I never thought one day I would be able to read books in english…. When we had to read books in english class I hated it and didn’t understand most of the stuff and now when I read them, it’s like portuguese, and I am not translating, I actually understand what’s there. I am very proud of how much I know now. It’s not perfect yet, but I will get there someday.

I think I should stop reading books in english, even though I think it’s fun, plus it’s the original work, but sometimes I realize I am thinking in english in my head. So much has changed in just a few months.

This is the book I am going to start reading tomorrow! It’s already too late, 1:24 to be exact, to read anything, and besides tomorrow it’s a family lunch, I need to wake up early!! It seems a good book! Exciting.

Here’s the summary:

In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen year- old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall riding along the snow-wet Oregon road with her family. Then, in a blink, she finds herself watching as her own damaged body is taken from the wreck…

A sophisticated, layered, and heartachingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make -and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

Feliz Dia da Liberdade portugueses! 25 de Abril está nos tópicos mais falados mundialmente no twitter há mais de uma hora e meia. Isso é raro, mas por acaso, Portugal tem marcado presença nos TT’s já várias vezes este ano.

Por um lado estou feliz de já não estar a estudar. Nesta altura tinhamos sempre que ver o filme dos capitães de Abril ou fazer trabalhos relacionados. Todos os anos!! hehe
