Mind over Matter

One day I was looking for buying a card to a friend's b-day and saw this card that said "Age is just a mind over matter, if you don't mind it doesn't matter" and now that my b-day is approaching I can't help but to think about it... and I realized that I don't really mind my age but I actually think that some people do! And this makes me wonder why is it if this is not their age but mine...

But anyways, so far so good, 20 days to go and still all "astral hell" crisis are under total control!

25 Facebook Things

I have received thins thing through facebook. The rules are:

"Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you."

I have contemplating to post it there, but have so many (quite) random people in my FB (I know them all, but not that we talk much) so I don't feel like posting there... so decided to post it here and see waht kind of comments I get .... here it is:


1- I am an Aries girl with Libra ascendant.
2- I love my little niece to bits, we are like soul mates!!!
3- I love to dance! Plus, I cannot help myself but dance in open spaces – any large open space, any will do! However I am a frustrated Prima Ballerina!
4- I am slightly superstitious.
5- I believe that things happen for a reason.
6- I appreciate the little things in life.
7- I bruise very easy! I always have unexplained, or explained but not believable, bruises.
8- I have a constant need to crack the knuckles of my right big toe. It is a compulsive thing!
9- I have loads of favourite songs – which make my life be a soundtrack! - but I have one most favourite classical music: Clair de Lune!
10- I sing all the time, if I am not singing I am whistling! But, I am a frustrated singer!
11- I don’t usually drink alcohol and have no specific (good) reason for that.
12- Turning 30 made me a real crier! I can cry for anything!
13- Oh and that brings me to the age thing: I am much much older than I look like, and this usually surprises people… I wonder…
14- I am very very very anxious and not too tolerable, especially when I am hungry or under sleep deprivation…
15- It’s most likely that I will read a magazine from the back cover to the front cover – I blame the anxiety – but I don’t do that with books.
16- I am not a morning person and need to drink a coffee first thing in the morning …
17- However, I love the afternoons and the dusk, specially the pink or purple-ish ones…
18- I need to live close to the sea.
19- And that reminds me how I miss the smell of the sea and the sound of the waves… they calm me down… I can watch the sea for hours…
20- I have already fulfilled some dreams in this life, but still have some to fulfil.
21- I am not very brave to cross roads away from traffic lights, and I have a very good reason for that!
22- My friends make me really happy! Specially knowing I have them as friends makes me happy!
23- Living abroad made me appreciate my country and culture a lot more.
24- Going back home won’t feel the same without my granny around… she was always with us and not having her there anymore will be strange.
25- This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Things I know!

Am copying this from my FB notes...
I suddenly remembered this brazilian song called "Coisas que eu sei" , the song itself is not magically beautiful but the lyrics I quite like it... and here is a fair translation - it is not a complete translation as there's a bit i don't like it:

Things I know...
I want to get closer to what I think is right, until I change my mind
It is my experiment, my pact with the science, my knowledge, my distraction

Things I know: I guess them without people having to tell me
Things I know: My alarm clock shows the wrong time – press play.

I like my room, my little mess no one can mess with it
It is my point of view, I do not accept tourists, my world is not open for visitation...

Things I know: fear lives close to the crazy ideas
Things I know: If I go I will go like this, will not change my clothing - it is my law.

Sometimes I get lazy in all my mess, the more I mess with it the messier it becomes...
I live in this scenario, in the imaginary; I leave and return to it whenever I fell like it...

Things I know: nights become brighter in the dawn
Things I know: were things I didn't know before, but now I know.
