Blindness...

Pic By Sílvia (a friend of mine)

For those who join, life is about choices; you always chose, as fast as a wink, what you'll grab and what you'll let go...in a disturbed picture of myself, I see no reason for someone to chose my way; perhaps you are right, dear friend, I've always been blind for my own beautiful wings...as you say, a butterfly can never be aware of its magnitude of perfection...I promise...at least...I'll never let myself go!

Sorry for my lack of news! With all the work I have for my last year of studies it's hard to keep in touch with you guys...I do my best!

Desculpem-me...mesmo...esta falta de notícias! Com o trabalho que tenho tido, para este último ano de universidade, fica muito difícil manter-vos a par de tudo o que vai acontecendo...Faço o meu melhor! 

Impermanence

In between, suddenly, a mirror get's across...a shape of nonsenses and orgasmic chills builds the illusion that you're enough. And what is enough? What is the true meaning of being completely full? Perhaps, my quite sharpen personality can indeed build up an image of perfection about almost everything. In fact, since everything is going to end, what more perfect will you get then the existence herself? Impermanence, the utmost certain thing ever being found, as death itself. What about impermanence? Everything most die, and what about dying? Acceptance, it might be that lonely key...At this moment I can ear my breath...air goes in and out...and I run across an empty field...White? Black? No colours, just a mirror, reflecting an infinite world of emptiness...and then I start adding some roots, some thoughts...about living and dying...about ending and freedom...about compassion and beginning...What is death then your utmost riddance? What is life then your utmost challenge? Let us learn together!  

Hello Hello guys! Sorry for this week of absentee...My work starts next Monday, so I'm kinda enjoy my last days of spare time! Despite some unpredicted misfortunes, everything is going great! It will work perfect in the end! :D Let me just share a tricky thing: I'm starting my last year of medical school next week! AHHHH!!! I don't really know what to think!

Well, what do you think about this look? I do love it...hope you like it to! :D Can't wait for your reactions!

Então pessoal? Desculpem-me esta semana mais ausente. Tendo em conta que as minhas residências já começam para a semana, tendo andado a aproveitar os meus últimos tempinhos mais livres. Apesar de alguns infortúnios, estes dias têm sido bem bons...passear com amigos...banhos de sol e de mar (falta-me só o meu outro lado :( )...Agora, um pormenor curioso: segunda começa o meu último ano de universidade!!! AHHHH...nem sei o que pensar!

Bem, quanto a este look, que vos parece? A mim agrada-me imenso! Espero que gostem...mal posso esperar pelas vossas reacções!   

Kiss Kiss

SS 2013 Menswear...so far

Givenchy and Salvatore Ferragamo

Marc Jacobs and Jonathan Saunders

Z Zegna and Jil Sander

Prada and Burberry Prorsum

Gucci and Raf Simons

Well...so far, these are my favourites...I'm still trying to pick the beauty in some aspects around a bunch of collections, like Prada's sandals, or the sneakers stubbornness everywhere, even the metallic looks (that I do like)...What I couldn't love more is Givenchy's collection!!! How I would love to have most of the pieces! Pure magic! 

What about the rest? The colours and the prints were already expected, right? To be honest, none of the catwalk trends have blown me away, in fact, they were obvious for me! That's what I lack more these times...effortless fashion art, you know! At least Ricardo Tisci satisfied my lust! :D

- Português -

Ora, aqui vão os meus favoritos por estas horas...não que coisas não mudem...sim, porque parte das tendências transversais ainda as estou a tentar compreender: é o caso das sandálias (agora) horríveis da Prada, ou as sapatilhas (coisa que nunca gostei) coloridas por toda a parte, até as peças metálicas (que gosto, mas que em certas coisas me pareceram em excesso)...O que eu não podia gostar mais é da colecção da Givenchy! Como eu dava tudo para pôr as minhas mãozinhas lindas naquelas peças todas!!! Pura perfeição!

E o resto? Cores e padrões já estavam à espera, não? Parra ser honesto, nenhuma das tendências dos desfiles me despertaram aquela surpresa e desconstrução que eu tanto gosto...é disto que eu mais sinto falta - a moda como arte sem esforço! Gosto do que vejo, mas nada me tira o fôlego! Pelo menos veio o Ricardo Tisci para satisfazer os meus desejos! Bendito deja!

Marble knight!

This time is just in Portuguese. Sorry for this. Try to translate if you want, but it will be a tough task! :(

Brussels nº2

I couldn't help it but to do this, right? Of course not! XD...And in Versace: Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" shirt! LOVE IT! :DDD...Louis Vuitton was an HUGE store, still, menswear was soooooo poor! I really wish an increasing effort to change menswear from fashion industry...to make it stronger...We deserve it, don't you guys think??? :D

This was another big day...walking and walking! Strolling around the streets and catching beautiful moments with the one I love! I went to a garden...SOOOO massively beautiful...and my camera went out of battery! :( A stupid thing to happen! Inside that garden there was a Dinosaur museum...I wanted to go sooo much...but it was closed at the time with found the entrance! :(...lol...I'll be going back there, and I'll photograph everything properly! :D

Things are starting to get better...tomorrow I tell you more...My studying process is stealing too much energy from me! :(

- Português -  

Não podia evitar de fazer isto, pois não? Claro que não! XD...E na Versace: A Camisa fantástica da Lady Gaga ("The Edge of Glory")! AMO TANTO!!! :DDD...A Louis Vuitton era enorme, mas mesmo assim a secção de homem era TÃO irrisória! Só espero é que a indústria da moda comece a investir mais na mudança da roupa masculina...no seu enriquecimento...afinal nós também merecemos, não acham boa gente??? :D

Este foi outro dia daqueles...muitas caminhadas...muita coisa para ver! A vaguear pelas ruas de Bruxelas, a sorver uma quantidade considerável de momentos inesquecíveis com a pessoa que amo! Fomos a um jardim...TÃO maravilhosamente lindo...e vejam lá que a minha máquina fotográfica ficou sem bateria!!! :( Estupidez, né? Dentro do jardim havia um museu de Dinossauros...queria tanto ir...chegámos lá e ja estava fechado! ::(...LOL...Também eu vou voltar lá, portanto ainda tenho tempo visitar tudo e fotografar tudo correctamente! :D

As coisas por aqui estão a melhorar...pelo menos assim o sinto...amanhã conto-vos mais...Os meus estudos estão a roubar-me um tempão e muitas energias! 

Wish me luck!

Kisses

A paiting in the middle of the city...I found it intersting!

You can see the two language thing! :D

Lines to be crafted!

Miss you sooo much! Miss our telekinetic thoughts knowing it all; miss our understandings without words! Miss everything...remember: I'll always love you.

This was a very casual look! I have a different version for this same jumper! The truth is: I really love this one, so I tend to wear it a lot of times! :D I'll be posting the other very soon. 

Atomium day! What a really remarkable place! Really gorgeous...I miss my days with my Blondie! Sometimes I don't know how time gets so slow...I just want him to come back.

I have been ill and that's the reason for the lack of news these past few days!

Hope you guys like this look! :D

Um look muito casual! Tenho uma versão diferente, com a mesma camisola, que dar-vos-ei a conhecer não tarda! A questão é que eu amo esta camisola, vai daí que ando imensas vezes com ela! :D

Este foi o dia de visitar o Atomium...muito bonito e realmente imperdível! A verdade é que morro de saudades dos meus dias com o meu Blondie! Às vezes ponho-me a questionar como é que o tempo passa tão lentamente nos entretantos...só quero que ele volte!

Tenho andado doente, razão pela qual tenho estado mais ausente do Blog! Desculpem...

Espero que gostem...:D

Think we look great together! XD I have to say...these pictures make me shivers! The amount of nostalgia going on is almost unbearable!

Brussels nº1

Sometimes you just can't change it...sometimes you are just not good enough...sometimes you are just a pile of dust! Sometimes I just want to be a pile of dust...perhaps I could make life better for those who walk by my side! Sometimes I just need you to take out these memories from my mind...sometimes I just need you to make me believe I'm someone that is worthy...Am I?

Hi guys! Today I give you some of the photos I took during the tour! I have to say that I haven't done the best work capturing the city...My (borrowed) camera went out of battery a few times and I was always in such a rush...catching the city became an hard task for sure! Sorry for that! I have some pictures missing although...Hope to have some good ones among the missing pictures! :) Tomorrow I'll be posting a new look (or even today...haven't decided yet)! Come and check it guys :D

- Português -

Boa gente!!! Hoje trago-vos algumas fotos da cidade enquanto vagueava pelas terras Belgas! Tenho de admitir que, desta vez, não fui um bom fotógrafo, muito menos bom a captar a beleza da cidade! Diga-se de passagem que o facto da minha máquina fotográfica (emprestada) ter ficado sem bateria umas vezes e a nossa constante pressa para visitar tudo deu que tornou a tarefa de fotografar um bocadinho difícil! Desculpem por isso... A verdade é que ainda tenho umas fotografias por receber...espero ter umas boas entre elas! :) Amanhã coloco mais um outfit (ou ainda hoje...ainda a decidir)! Vão acompanhando!

Hope you're having fun Espero que se estejam a divertir

Great kisses

Summer, oh my perfect Summer!

I feel like remembering frozen moments, things that shall never be apart from me. Sometimes I'm a rather stubborn guy, a difficult partner, or even a rusty, dirty and raw piece of furniture that you cannot find a tiny spark of magic to justify keeping it. Yet, you do keep it to your own, embracing something, not special, neither magical, curiously complicated instead, as if the mystery burst out and burnt a metal bond between everything around it. Light and dark can always be at balance once in a while, dust and water from my core and a random whisper of thanks blooming from the happiness around a shared sunrise! I've continuously endured a search for something I could never find by my own, something not able to be learnt from books, nor movies, not even life can always be sure about the teaching. My life, as my tutor, found the way...yet sometimes I ignore some of her teachings...between tears and angry screams from the past I found the way to a place where I can look at the window and understand clearly the mesmerizing beauty from the simple things; the moments of natural silence; the tranquillizing touch of  fresh grass on your skin, while your head meets your twin soul; the falling of that leave from an oak tree above us; the singing from the birds, awaking the animals for the adventure of another day...I have been waking up during the night, getting my feet to warming as the moon abandons the sky and gives space to the sunshine...I've been walking on dirt and grass as the light breaks the dawn...I've been whispering to the sun: "Come, Come...I'll be watching!"; He always comes! Like you always find the way to calm my heart and tell me you love me without a word...I found your soul in the magic of the Aurora! I'm not a mystery any more...Nock at my skin, and you'll find you in!

Not calm words...

Hello guys...today is an outstanding day for those who simply dislike when I start writing about silly things in a very unsure and non clarifying way...today I've decided to be more precise... In fact, I've started to wonder how many of you, who delightfully or not come across my blog, actually end up readying what I write? I don't know the answer, and despite the fact of most of my words being rather fair to my utmost defining personal edges, I believe that sometimes it's better to keep it simple.

Today I've figured out that I don't have quite a picture about how I seem to be for you as a blogger or a free writer, nor even as a person (personality I mean)...as usual I'm always doubting about myself, and since this blog has been here for one year by now, I wonder if I have done something right or willing to be followed. As a matter of fact, I really don't know. Since I actually do this kind of self-worshipping not really for those who come across this home-made stuff but for me as a way to indulge my creative and artistic needs, I do it in a very particular way that I don't really get if it fits. Let me tell you what keeps me going as a blogger: 1. I like the way fashion binds people freely, just like any other artistic expression; 2. I like to learn from people who knows more than me; 3. I like to write, even if it is just to remain closed inside an online box; 4. I believe that, somehow, someone will be inspired as I was and still am by some of you guys (tho I always end up concluding that I'm not that good as an inspiration...only if what matters is to wear what to find great for yourself); 5. I like perspectives, more or less extreme then mine, specially when they help me to improve my own opinions...and that, of course, requires an huge amount of honesty...And there's the most dark side of online fashion world: How can you tell when people are being honest with you??? Honestly guys, haven't you got that feeling yet, while readying some comments here and there, of being unable to understand a bunch of positive words about something completely wrong? Well I certainly have that quite often...and perhaps it's because of my rule to not fake an opinion that I don't end up having an HUGE number of comments or a big BOOM on my followers...or I'm just too moron to not understand some tides! You see, I have a quite sharp self-criticism sense (if this is the way you say this); I do know that my blog remains a prototype, a Beta-testing thing for many and for me as well...The thing is, I do not work for kind words or well disguised bitter comments...I believe in one thing: those who come to my blog and leave some words are not seeking for some improvement on the number of views or anything like that...That's why I like it my way!

And you guys?

Sorry for the biggggggg "not calm" realization...but I couldn't help it...XD

And so it was a cold day!

"Keys...the Keys...down with the river flow, they go! «Concerned?» No, not even close! I went upstairs, straight in the middle of the whole wide heaven, just to find me picking up the utmost important windup: there is no need to fringe it up...simple to be simple, great just as that...perfectly crystal clear...giving away the keys, right after locking the locket - forgive me my redundancy - my heartwood has just found his Greenwich meridian! So how could I possibly maim this moment of total and explosive sense of certain with concerns?? No darling I shan't be that boy! Besides, there's nothing to be afraid of...Well, there was a chapel, and a small village, and the bridge of course, I mean, the locket bridge - you know? some kind of deeply emotive monument where you can proclaim your future as if you were instantly blessed with the fine art of divination - and the monumental music from the catholic ceremony, due to the chapel, you see? The whole package it was! There was I, sitting on the staircase, realizing the moment, sipping the smells of the vivid and non-vivid things...specially the one by my side: totally vivid, yet with a static look - for my eyes I mean - with no less then my heigh, simple as a blooming flower, just as perfect as that, yet much greater, much addicting...a marvellous and angelic figure wondering how to write on a bunch of metal? I was matching the letters to form the word A-S-K...but it was too distracting...so I simply picked up the piece of the locking material and some heavy and much denser spark of iron in my pocket and start writing! Said to him: I believe this is the sentence you were willing to merge within, right? - and the music kept on sailing through the ocean bed - «Come on! There's a locker to be locked - and the smile was shining - will you stay?"

This look was not how I planned...the problems with the way Polish guys deal with difference is not much alike of what I'm used to, so I got the advise not to use the whole outfit I wanted!...Still I will show it to you in no time! :)

The locker bridge

I know...the last days in Poland were a bit hard to get to the blog...well, photos from other source plus more stuff equals to a bunch of delays! SORRY!!! :$

Here are more photos:

Gluttony at London's airport. A nasty and fatty breakfast.

I know I've been away, more then it was expected...I had some well deserved unexpected vacancies, which made me delay every single plan I had for the blog...the good news are: I have plenty of photos to post now! :DDD

Great Kisses!

Pass the point of no return!...Cheerful Light

There was a secret about trading winds...a secret about things whether crossed, never to be changed... frontiers to the other side...east or west, north or south, finding or being lost, things to be known from the trust.  They say the moon has a twin sister, a dark one (for sure this idea is much more older than the White/Black swan dichotomy), never to be seen or touched...I've always wondered: why dark things have to be bad? I rather prefer to think that if something is hidden or safe from the bitterness of this world, for sure it has something that is worth the effort! There was a day...for a boy like no other...to fell death right beneath his soul rack; if it was a mistake to chose this destiny, his shadow would never recognize it for sure; you could say that was a split off, body and soul were breaking up; it was a rather odd, perhaps an hard paper work, to find a reasonable reason for that soul to pop out and to began wondering why should she bound again...well it's not everyday you crash against your own body hiding you for some reason you just can't solve! It could, and it was probably, a lost case! Well, still the point was: follow the white light towards Neverland? Or pursue the answer...as a matter of facts, you already know the answer...You can see on the photo above...shadow or not, she was finding the answer! And GOSH she found it! To the point...there was she, complaining about the  lacking of something...what would it be? For some reason the answer come across quite fast...whether it wasn't the celerity of the thing, for sure the answer would be lost! Every history has an Hero and a Villain, and every villain has always a huge part of misunderstandings! I could go on with this, instead I soak my effort to make the message sink in: If I was searching for a lighter or a darker side, I din't know...If I was the hero or the villain, it remains unclear...What I know is that I've found the answers, at the moment I less expected it! You know great things come as a natural order of the realism around us...it is on the surrealism we are masters! I've passed the point of no return...Portuguese body with a soul as colourful as an AURORA...stretch out your arm, your not that far...see? You've touched my soul...I'm warm now...tough answer it was...now I can paint our surrealist word...on a cheerful light!

One more day in Wroclaw. You certainly are becoming tired of this trip! Well, I'm not...and I would be jumping towards Poland right away if I could (and with lots of reasons)! This day we were gifted with the presence of a street illusionist...and GOD he was good! He made some crazy stuff and we definitely appreciated everything! :D...with went to one of the city towers, and it was as remarkable as excruciating: you see, climbing all those stares, all those claustrophobic stares is a rather complicated task! At the end it was really worth it! I live you with some more pictures:
