fly so far away

So, I went to FIBDA this past saturday and sunday. I cosplayed on both days, mainly because I didn't want to be in the audience (the place was so shitty and no one could see a thing).

( Photos and stuff )

I come to the conclusion that I hate to work.

Seriously. School work, you name it. I'm lazy as lazy a person can be.

I have tons of papers to do, but I just spent my whole evening looking around stuff on the internet, doing absolutely nothing. I should be working on my cosplay as well, but I'm not in the mood. I skip classes 'cause I don't want to listen to more boring lectures.

And I do notice that October is always a horrible month for me, 'cause I tend to procrastinate more during this time of the year, for some reason.

And, the worst part of it, I feel guilty for all these things. I feel guilty for doing nothing.

I've been telling myself this for some time now, but I need a drastic change, STAT!

Os meus pais estão cá! :D Vieram este fim-de-semana para votar. XD

Todos vocês que têm idade para votar, VOTEM NO DOMINGO DIA 27!

My classes start tomorrow (just because I don't have classes on monday) and this is the last semester of my degree, hurray!

I'm just going to take some real boring shit like English linguistics and whatnot, hopefully I won't fall asleep in classes.

...

Never liked this time of the year. Never had and never will.

My dog Pucca was put down a few days ago because she no longer responded to anything.

I'd post a picture of her but my hard drive went nuts.

And we never knew how old she was, because my parents took her off the streets about 5 years ago.

You will be missed.

...

Can't stop crying, I can't imagine how I would be if I was there when it happened.

Today I experienced one of the most frightening things ever. For me, that is.

I heard my dad crying over the phone.

One of my dogs is slowly dying. She had a stroke, and now she pratically doesn't move and doesn't bark anymore. And there's nothing we can do.

And I'm miles and miles away, and I probably won't be able to say goodbye to her.

...

This shit is killing me.

I need something to do these vacations.

Next weekend, the majority of the people I hang out with are going to Porto, but I'm not going 'cause I'm poor. and i really don't feel like it either

I'll probably spend a week in Algarve, to visit my parents who are living near S. Brás de Alportel, but I still don't know if I'll be able to go since my boyfriend has to move in August and I'll have to help him.

And I'm really hoping to go to Tróia again near the end of August but I don't know if the owner wants us there again this year.

And in September college starts again, along with job hunting.

AND IT'S ALREADY THE END OF JULY, DON'T RUN FROM ME SUMMER PLZ.

EDIT: Oh my sweet Jesus, the new Harry Potter movie sucked badly. Even if we see it without thinking about the books, it still sucks. Basically, it's teenage angst plus original scenes that don't add anything to the story whatsoever (OH MY GOD THEY BURNED DOWN THE BURROW WHAT NOW. OH WAIT, LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THIS FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE. JUST BECAUSE.) plus a little bit of action near the end of the movie. And Dumbledore's death, ugh. Awful. /end rant

FIA was... more than a week ago. Oops.

Anyway, it was fun seeing some friends and acquaintances again, even if I left early and missed some people because I was way too tired and my throat hurt. ;_;

I thought the cosplay contest was well put out and organized, but the award winners just made me gag. Seriously. Awful.

Before FIA, I had a private photoshoot in Parque das Nações with my friend Sara. Check out some photos.

So, yesterday I went to the optician to get my new pair of glasses. They're simple and cool. I'll post a photo someday.

Funny thing is, everyone in the shop wears glasses. All of them. The doctors, the people working behind the counters, even the cleaning ladies.

I wonder if wearing glasses is a necessary thing when applying to work at these places.

Anyway, my Portuguese friends, have 2 nice holidays!

Happy birthday to me... etc, etc, etc.

I was tagged by darkicelady .


Maria Renard from Castlevania Symphony of the Night


1. Do you like this character? I guess. She's pretty, strong, and isn't afraid to fight vampires.
2. What name/s do you call this character? Maria Renard, Maria, Maria Retardada. XD
3. What image-color do you associate with this character? Green and yellow. I wonder why.
4. What image-song do you associate with this character? I don't remember the title now, but it's the song played at the end of the game.
5. What blood-type do you think this character is? Japanese people and their blood type things... I guess A.
6. Of all of the titles that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with? Alucard, for obvious reasons.
7. What would you want to say to this character? Can you get me a handsome vamp too?
8. What do you want to do with this character? Have tea at a real victorian posh place, with my victorian clothes on. 8D

I tag:
No one, do it if you wish.

And I should be in class, but I'm actually in the computer room here at my college doing random things on the web. Win.

Will I actually make any of these?

Anyway, I've decided on 2 cosplays that I will eventually make during the course of this year, and probably the next one. And maybe the one after that.

( Yeah, right. )

And that's it. I just want to clear up some dust and post something here.

These are just some plans. I've been feeling a little tired of cosplay. I mean, there's a ton of characters I'd love to cosplay, but even if I had the means to make them all, I'd never have the time. It's a really time-consuming hobby, and, even though I love it, it gets tiring.

Money is another issue. To make a good cosplay, of course money is going to be spent, and right now I can't afford major expenses. Blah.

And I just noticed, I've only cosplayed 2 anime characters so far. Yoruichi from Bleach (my first cosplay, ugh) and Mamimi from FLCL. The rest of them are videogame characters. Makes sense, since I haven't watched any anime series in a long time. XD

So. I should really go to bed and stop rambling about cosplay (is that the only thing I ramble about in here?).

Goodnight.

Or good morning. XD

So, the usual Cosplay Photoshoot at Parque das Nações was last week and it was great! I thanked the heavens for the great weather that day. XD

I went as Alice from the videogame "American McGee's Alice". Only a couple of people recognized it, but they praised it so I'm happy. =) My friend Dark_Light went with an original design of the Queen of Hearts and she looked stunning in it. For me, one of the best cosplays there.

Oh, and I got great photos, so here's some picture spammage.

( Alice in Wonderland )
Need a better wig.

And a better camera as well, too bad some of them weren't that focused.

But, overall, great fun! Loved being Alice.

And with darkicelady 's photo contest, I remembered to take nice photos. XD

Life,

Could you stop sucking and stand still for a moment so that I can make proper decisions?

kthxbai.

Seriously, on one hand I'm tremedously happy with the life I have. On the other hand, it keeps sucking more and more. Great.

...

Anyway.

After about a year or so of not sewing and not making new cosplays, I started on a new one for the Photoshoot at Parque das Nações. Hurray! It's Alice, it's cool. I'm going with a friend that's making a Queen of Hearts one. I'm looking forward to it.

And me, well, I'm on my between semesters break and have spent most of the days hanging out with the boyfriend, playing videogames, reading, sewing and watching random assorted TV series on television.

Oh, and since I probably won't post in the next 1 month or so, happy Valentine's day! Have a great day, even if you're single. <3

Really late Happy New Year guys! <3

In 2009 I want to have a more active online life. XD

Or maybe not.

E não me apetece pôr em inglês.

Já venho tarde mas tenho mais vida do que tar em frente do PC na net... Ou então não.

Epá, foi lindo. Ainda bem que só paguei 25 euros porque vi o mesmo que toda a gente ou talvez melhor. XD Tive um momento fangirl quando ouvi o David Hayter com a sua voz de Snake à apresentar o Tommy. Quase que chorei em Metal Gear Solid, ainda fiz continência quando a música acabou.

Quando o Martin Leung apareceu no palco tive outro momento porque já o conhecia do YouTube. As músicas de Final Fantasy tavam lindas, ainda que as pessoas tivessem sempre a aplaudir enquanto ele mudava de música o que resultava em não conseguir ouvir o que ele tava a tocar. -_-

Todas as outras musicas tavam lindas, arrepiei-me com a solista da musica do God of War e adorei o facto de terem acabado com Castlevania. \m/

E pronto, foi isso. Era para fazer cosplay mas a Dark cortou-se e eu fartei-me de estar à espera e acabei por não fazer. Também, para eu demorar 30 minutos para me vestir e depois tar 2 minutos no palco... mais vale tar quieta.

E pronto, para o ano se vierem cá, lá vou eu de novo. :3

*clears the dust*

S'up?

What's new:

* went internetless and still am internetless, hopefully it'll be back on sooner or later.
* am basically living either only with my brothers or only with my boyfriend and it's some chaotic shit, I tell ya.
* have no money for Christmas shopping.
* but I managed to buy my ticket for VGL and I plan to cosplay there. Just because.
* am in desperate need to buy new clothes, I need to go on a shopping spree more than ever.
* my kitty's so cute, but that's not new. :3
* Guitar Hero World Tour has some pretty cool songs, and I want the drum set so I can have a full band. XD
* am currently reading loads of books by Nick Hornby for some reason.
* need money on my mobile phone.
* am cold as hell.
* and should be preparing a presentation for English class about horror movies but grew tired of it.

And I'm on my way to the shower, so I'll see you around.

( Meme yet again. )

Hate routines and hate going back to them. This first week of classes was boring and my classes are boring. Well, maybe except English.

There were no memorable freshmen this year. =X I mean, every year there's this one or two freshmen that are funnier and more outgoing than the others, but this year was just... meh. I didn't even go to the godmother/godfather leilão. I'm a awful godmother anyway. D:

But anyway, no classes on Friday = heaven.

Can't wait for Christmas' break.
