Today's "omg wtf? xD" moment is sponsored by...

...japanese television, courtesy of Tokyo Times:

"Cleverly combining cooking and scantily-clad young ladies, the far from comatose contestants have to try and keep track of how each tasty little dish is made, rather than greedily feasting their eyes on the far more fruitier offerings on display."

Are you needing a laugh? Want to read about strange happenings that make you go "Oh no you didn't"? Then add this blog to your bookmarks, once in a while something really entertaining usually pops up ^^. I recommend the Odd section for added "Omg wtf?"'ness. xD

Heal Over - A voice and a guitar

An acoustic cover of the song "Heal Over", by KT Tunstall
The hardest part about this blog is that everytime I try to write, I can only think of a song. It's hard for me to put thoughts and feeling into words in a coherent way, and also in a way that people won't be bored to death by my talking...just one of those things...

As for this song, I think it's beautiful. Over the last

couple of months it has grown from another good surprise revealed to me
by my brother to one of my favourite songs.

On a personal note, I always give more credit to the artist that can grab my attention in a song with less tools. Musicians like Damien Rice, KT Tunstall, Aimee Mann (amongst others), armed with their acoustic guitars and their voices live are out of this world... The first time I heard Damien Rice wasn't after the movie "Closer" came out. Nope, it wasn't "the blowers daughters". It was a studio version of "Cannonball" at 3AM on vh1, on a dark room with a tv on....I'm a softie at heart so obviously I had to get teary eyed, it was one of those moments where the song, his voice and the lyrics overwhelmed me... one might call it a cathartic moment perhaps...

So enough talking, here are both songs so you can "see" what I was yapping around. It's probably not advised if you're feeling emo'ish though :\ :

=> the real KT tunstall song - ignore the youtube images, and instead read the lyrics, they're so sweet that they make my teeth hurt ^^
=> Cannonball - Damien Rice - the first version; the second version (the cutest video); lyrics

Posting this made me crave some music, I'm going to get the ipod now...
=* take care all of you ^^

Classical isn't?

11.03 PM
I am looking at my clock, longingly waiting for the phone to ring.
But that's the problem isn't? I think so...
The last couple of weeks have been a total mess in my already messed up life. Trippin' on my own words, my own attitudes, trippin' on me.
Instead of settling down for something I tend to overlook that and usually dive head first into things. Or people.
I know I can't say much about that, I get like 50 crushes a day. It would be more useful if I walked with a blindfold. Doesn't matter who or where, I always fall for people I shouldn't fall.. I am pondering the use of the word 'love' in here. Because it can't be love. Can it?
Nope I guess not.
11.10 PM
The phone is there, as it was before. I think I gave it too much credit for. I shouldn't have.
11:26 PM I walk around the house, it's really cold. I refused myself any form of warmth bacause I'd fall asleep if I turned it on and I dont want to. I lay on my bed to the sounds of Mozart's Requiem. Ever since I was a child, I have grown to listen to him and I tell you, the man was a music god. Beethoven is one of my favourites too. The 5th, the 9th, god... Absolute geniuses.
My eyes are closed as I let myself be immersed by the intensity of the voices. A shiver runs through my body. Could be the cold. However I don't think so.
I think I was about to drift asleep when a muffled vibrating sound came to my attention. Hmm? vibrating? Mozart didn't have that! The phone! Jesus bloody Christ! Where did I put it?! Try picturing me, frantically seeking for it having Bethoveen's 5th symphony first movement in full background. Aha! Got it! Just when it reached molto allegro, rondo, whatever!

She did call after all.
We spent about forty-five minutes on the phone. At some point, she asked: "You listening to classical?"
"Yes. It helps me think."
"I never took you for the classics lover." She smirked.
"Well... I am." All I managed to say.
"Well, I should leave you, you got classes tomorrow, right?"
"Yes." I wish I didn't.
"Goodnight." It came out with a hint of a grin.
"Goodnight."
"Sweet dreams."
"Listen..I.." I should have kept quiet. Or say something. Silence prevailed. "Do you wanna go out for a coffee tomorrow?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Ok, I'll say something after college."
"Deal."
"Goodnight then." I heard a laugh. Or it could be a giggle. No.. even a smile. What did it mean?
"You're funny when you're embarrassed you know?"
I am?
"I am?"
"Yes, much indeed. Now go to sleep or you'll be blaming me for not sleeping properly." Oh you really have no idea...
"Ok, I'll call you tomorrow."
"Ok."
"Bye"
Dead line.

I turned to the other side of my bed, looked at the wall, took a deep breath and sighed heavily.
Buried my head on my pillow and hid my phone under it.

I think my feet are getting cold... Both ways.

Bedtime story

Well, I was idily chatting with surreal this evening when she pointed me out this wicked story and suggested we'd post it in here for you guys.

Disclamer: No cars were severly injured, however the author of the post will never look at a 4-wheel vehicle with a suspicous driver in it the same way as before.
Enter at your own risk!! (~^^)

Exilada!!

Finalmente!! Um computador que funciona!! :-O
Ninguém imagina o que é poder finalmente trabalhar em condições decentes. :/ Bom.. mas vamos ao que interessa. Para o pessoal que pensa que eu já fui desta para melhor... *riso maléfico* NÃO FUI!! Ahahahah! (¬_¬)' O que aconteceu foi meramente um problema de ordem técnica, que felizmente, espero já ter resolvido. O bom do adaptador do meu portátil teve um infeliz encontro com a minha gata, que fez o favor de o roer...
O que é que uma pessoa faz logo? Telefona para a assistência técnica.
Não posso dizer que estou muito satisfeita com o serviço prestado.. Pronto, uma pessoa telefona e em vez de ter uma resposta minimamente concreta, NÃO! Mandam-nos telefonar para uma energumenidade de números e NUNCA respondem como deve de ser!
Bom... adiante. Em quatro vezes que telefonei, o preço do dito adaptador mudava. Sempre mais caro! Ah e o prazo de espera também! Chegou ao ponto de me dizerem: " Ah bem sabe estas coisas vêm do fornecedor.. É capaz de demorar quatro semanas..."
"Quatro semanas?!" Disse eu, contente por estar bem sentada. "Bom e o preço?"
"92 euros."
(O.o) Enough said...
Esse funcionário que me atendeu, o sr. Tiago (grr!) devia ter andado a tomar qualquer coisinha que lhe fez mal nesse dia! Porque eu voltei a telefonar para o mesmo sítio, noutro dia claro, e fui excelentemente atendida pela sra. Ana Ribeiro que foi de uma simpatia e eficiência deveras louvável. Disse-me que no dia a seguir teria a resposta à minha ecomenda e de facto, no dia seguinte tive a confirmação do pedido. O mesmo adaptador, que me tinha sido indicado que custaria 92 euros e demoraria 4 semanas a chegar agora custava 63 euros e demorava uma semana... Makes you wonder...
A HP, eu não percebo. Como é que uma empresa, companhia ou lá o que aquilo é, tem uma assistência técnica tão rasca! Tou fula!

Quero dizer ao pessoal que ainda falta uma semaninha para eu estar fully functional no espaço virtual e não desesperem! :p I'll be back!

quick thought - :]

Para ver, para dar
para estar, para ter
para ir, pra ouvir
pra sorrir e entrar
para rir, pra voltar
a tentar, pra sentir
e mudar, pra voltar
a cair, para me levantar
para nunca mais tentar mentir.

Pra crescer, para amar
para ser o lugar
pra viver e gostar
de gostar de viver
pra fugir, pra mostrar
pra dizer, pra ter paz pra dormir,
pra fingir, acordar
para ser, derramar
para nunca mais tentar mentir.

Ornatos Violeta - Para nunca mais mentir.

I find it amasing how 3 months in Biology changed me more than 3 years in Chemistry... my life is now more interesting but also waaaay more confusing. Although I'm trying to navigate through the chaos, learning new tricks and new moves because I'm pressured to do so, I've got no regrets. I kinda like it also. :)

One year has passed since the first post.
A lot has changed since then. Maybe not visible, blatant changes. But hey, it's the small changes that make the world go round.
I am very happy with the outcome of this blog, it has overcome the expectations I had for it when I created it.
Not only it's a way to somehow express myself, it is certainly and sometimes a part of me. I actually thought: 'Well ok, I have a blog but it's not like many people are gonna check it out..Apart from some friends and that...' Well I was wrong, I have had great feedback on it and it only makes me more willing to continue keep working on it. Also, I have a great back-up team, that apart from having some minor flaws in terms of timing (Yes O-ren, that's for you!! (^^_)) they are awesome people and I am very glad that they are in this boat.

I'd like to thank all the people and factors that were directly related or not, who have been of some inspiration to me, to us here in The Kiss Of The Valkyrie.

To all, thank you and blessed be!

P.S.: The cake looks better if you click on it :/

Journey

The bus station was not as crowded as I expected it to be. A friend of mine was her like an hour ago and she said it was chaotic. I, fortunately or not, got behind. Went shopping, I thought I still had some time but then again I was wrong. I missed the bus by like one minute. Oh well... But it was so worth it. I've been saving up for this really wicked gift to a friend of mine like for ages and as soon I had it and as soon it was available, I went to get it.

Okay, one downside, I am officially broke now. I got like 10€ on my account... :/ but hey! I am complaining! (much...*sob sob*)

Now I am waiting, sitting at one bench.

Funny...

That's all I've been doing today. Wait. No, I've been running all day.

I wonder... We keep waiting and waiting most of our lives, waiting for what we call the 'right' moment for everything, but when it comes, will we be ready to accept it, to live it?

I don't think so. People are never happy. I mean they say they are happy but in fact they aren't. Happiness is just a matter of neural transmissions going bad and poor-mindness, some times.

It's a general imposition to the human race.

As I write, dozens of people pass in front of me. Complete strangers to one another,and yet...

We all suffer from the same pathology.

Life.

Broken promises and dreams.

Failures.

Trials and errors

That's who we are.

Some in vitro experiment gone bad.

(Memo: write to God and ask for Him to build a better playground on my next life. I am sure that will be filed along with the other 1,000,000,000,000,000 requests)

Best joke ever! xD

Um dia, a rosa encontrou a couve-flor e disse:
- Que petulância, se chamar de flor! Veja sua pele áspera e a minha, lisa e sedosa.
Veja seu cheiro desagradável e meu perfume, sensual e envolvente.
Veja seu corpo grosseiro e o meu, delgado e elegante... Eu, sim, sou uma flor!!!

E a couve-flor respondeu:
...mas ninguém te come.
