The book fair
Posted by: Lady Bella on: 3 May, 2009
Yesterday I went to the Book fair that takes place in Lisbon every year. And as such I couldn’t miss it. I only bought a book, because there’s no way I was gonna step into THE book fair just to look around, despite the shameful tbr pile that keeps stacking… due to a cronic lack of time. Anyway, I bought a book by a portuguese author, Miguel Esteves Cardoso, with a very sugestive title: O Amor é Fodido… I would translate it as: Love is a fucked up thing. This book has been tempting me for years, mostly due to its provocative title. This year I couldn’t resist anymore. Therefore I bought it, and already started to read it. Let’s see when I’m going to finish it, as well as the Thirtheenth Tale. Oh well, I ‘ll keep you posted.
Back to work…

Vacations… well, they were good but not enough. Today I was already back to work. The good thing is I managed to travel a little, see people, behave and misbehave, and finish Twilight… last night. But I did it!! yey for me.
Today I just learned that I’m going to Barcelona and Rome on work. Isn’t it awsome?? I’m super excited 
I’ll get back as soon as I have futher info.
Bed and Breakfast
Posted by: Lady Bella on: 7 April, 2009
As promissed, here’s a brand new entry on my blog. Finally on vacations, I can put my sleep up to date. Or at least I hope so. Yesterday, I managed to sleep until 12:40 pm. Flawless victory!! Today I wan’t so lucky, since I had to leave early with mum. The good thing is, I’ve been walking a lot, getting a lot of fresh air into my brain. My head it’s such a mess lately, that I definitley needed this. I just want to think clearly and find my path in life.
Lately my life as changed in a way I wan’t expecting it to change. You know… sometimes you just know what you’re going to do in the next 50 years of your life, and then suddenly you just don’t know anymore. That’s what happened to me. So now, I just need to rest, sleep and read.
I just looked into my lit & stuff page, and well, I’m deeply ashamed. We’re already in April… and I’m only half way through my second book this year… not to mention that I’ve onlywatched 3 films??? WTH????
I really need to finish Twilight. The stupid thing is… I’m actually enjoying the book. Apparently I just don’t make the time to read. So,I promisse I’ll finish it this week. And I’ll be back to tell you so, as soon I do.
‘Till then… have fun and seize the day.
long time no see

Other than that… I’m dead tired. Luckly I’ll be on vacations next week. So….. hopefully, I’ll try o post something funny and witty then.
Till then… cheerio!!!
The TBR List for 2009
Posted by: Lady Bella on: 5 February, 2009
I understand I’m awfully late with this TBR, but there’s been some changes in my life that have kept me afk. But the important thing is, TBR is finaly here.
Let the games begin.
The Nineteenth Tale – Diane Setterfield
A Breath of Snow and Ashes – Diana Gabaldon
Survivre avec des Loups – Misha Defonseca
The Historian – Elizabeth Kostova
Perfeitos Milagres – Jacinto Lucas Pires (portuguese author)
Manhã submersa – Virgilio Ferreira (portuguese author)
A um Deus Desconhecido – John Steinbeck (portuguese translation)
Rio das Flores – Miguel Sousa Tavares (portuguese author)
O Nascimento da Venus – Sarah Dunant (portuguese translation)
O Codex 632 – José Rodrigues dos Santos (portuguese author)
Stardust – Neil Gaiman
Crespusculo – Stephenie Meyer (portuguese translation)
O Jogo do Anjo – Carlos Ruiz Zafon (portuguese translation)
Some of these books came from last year’s list, because there’s always something new that comes along, and the old ones remain in the pile. Let’s see how it goes this year. January wasn’t a good month… I’m only half way through “The Other Boleyn Girl”, and it’s not because i’m not enjoying it. Let’s see if I can improve my reading rate as we go along.
Feel free to comment and stay tunned.
Karting Experience

Sorry sorry sorry. I should have already posted my to be read list for 2009, and I’ll try to do it within the next few days, but for now I’m going to tell you how does a fairy feels while riding a kart full throttle. Yes, that’s right. The company I work for has nothing to do with the previous one, and the people are actually more fun . This year instead of celebrating Christmas with the traditional Christmas dinner, they decided to enjoy a Saturday out, kariting and having lunch at a a fancy restaurant, in January.
That day was yesterday. We’ve left early in order to get there on time. But, apparently the driver didn’t know the way… so we took a little longer to get there. Only three females dared to ride, and I was one of them. 
. Here’s a pic of yours truly in the action.
The best part is… I wasn’t the last one. In fact was the best female. Everyone was congratulating me, and i was all blushed.. not really used to being complimented on such type of events. ehehehe, it felt good though.
The problem is, today I’m all sored. It comes with the package I guess.
Lol, promisse to comeback soon with the TBR list for this year.
cheerio
Happy New year world!

Bad Day
Posted by: Lady Bella on: 15 December, 2008
This happens to everyone… a bad day! I’ve been experiencing bad day, after bad day, turning them into bad weeks.
I just wish life was simpler, not necessarily easier, but simpler. Human interaction makes everything complicated. I’m totally worked up, and things aren’t easy.
I’m tired, my head is failing when it wasn’t supposed to fail. I just need vacation, or to turn my life around like I was supposed to have done a long time ago.
Oh well, nevermind the silly me. I’m just venting. I think I need to go to bed early.
Sleep tight you guys.
Happy Birthday! and Merry Christmas :)

This week, this little corner celebrated its first anniversary. Yey!! It lives But it wasn’t the only festive occasion because on the same day, me and Argus celebrated our 6th anniversary. And counting…
I’m sorry for not posting anything about it on the 9th of December (or after), but my router has been playing me for quite sometime now. LOL. Hope he doesn’t fail me when I post this one
And once again, we’re in Christmas. In the wise words of Bill Nighy, Christmas is all around us…
Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy the season…
Take my breath away…

Remember this song?
Well, the other day, this was the motto for the following scenarios.
- Imagine you’re seeing the love of your life for the first time. Remember that? Great. Now freeze the moment and add this music. Happy? not enough. We also thought of that. Make sure that in this imaginary version, the guy has Tom Cruise’s glasses, and the girl has the chick’s hair.
- Imagine you’re calling a company, and your call is put on hold. Now, what song is on? No way???!!! Really?? Take my breath away??? I know…
- Imagine you’re having a silly conversation about exccentric flying methods (let’s not go into details), but I think you can get the picture. I know you do. Top Gun was about… Flying. So the OST for this conversation would be …<drumroll please…> Take my breath away.
I know it took mine. Cheers!!
