SUNN O))) & Ulver - Eternal Return

Two great bands got together to make an amazing prodution.

Constelações

Sem querer escutei uma música que automaticamente me trouxe o Miguel à memória.

Como é que eu achei que eu e ele pode ser algo certo?

Temos o gosto pelas línguas em comum, apesar de o dele ser amor. 

Mas para além disso, que mais?
Tentei convence-lo a cozinhar bolos comigo, mas a culinária não é um interesse dele, é um interesse meu. E desta frase tiram-se muitas conclusões...

Como é que achei que eu e ele podia ser algo certo?
Ele para mim tem tudo para ser certo. E eu para ele não tenho nada para ser certo.
Não gostamos da mesma música. Eu até gosto da dele, mas ele não deve certamente gostar da minha.
A meu ver, se eu fosse ele, também não tinha gostado de mim. Para ele sou uma estranha rapariga que faz o que lhe dá na real gana. E isso não é nada o tipo dele.
O erro nesta história, foi meu, e dele, de numa noite sem sono, ficar muitas horas a conversar, e criar uma ligação ai. E o erro nesta história, foi eu sentir uma ligação que pelos visto não existiu. 

E o meu erro, foi não amansar a coisa, e estimar uma possível amizade. Ou não ter saído de casa nessa noite...

Eu sei lá. Acho que não conseguia ser amiga dele. Ele é demasiado interessante para ficar só a falar das estrelas.

New Year Resolutions

On the 3rd month of the year I realised I didn't made my NY resolutions and wish related post.

Resolution from last year:
Quit drink -> Incredible nailed it! Haven had a drink since 2012.

Quit smoking -> failed big time, but it seams that this year is the year, haven smoked since begining of January.

More exercise -> last year was not it. I went to the pool every week during the summer, but it was more of a jacuzzi moment. This year its going well, I've been going to yoga classes, and I've been doing morning and bedtime exercices. Plus I use my bike a lot.

Quit animal eating -> Failure. Living with a meat eater made things hard, but I haven't touched animals food this year! Still drinking milk, but that is the only dairy product I'm currently consuming.

Study more -> That was a plus! I did got in about almost all of the classes, and I even did an extra one!
More piercings -> Yes, two very private piercings I did.

This year I resolute to:

- Eat less processed and cooked food;
- Eat more organic and happy foods;

- Drink more natural juices; 

- Seriously learn how to juggle and roller skate;

- To be more creative and show it;

- Connect more with my foreign family;

- Open up my mind even more, since I've been realizing it is still very closed;
- Follow my dreams even more.

Make it Awesome was the wish, and it sure did was an awesome year, being the awesome part many very different things,  from the incredible friends I made that year,  the ecological group, falling in love with the latin teacher, the strong fight with my housemates, the ireland au-pairing, the summer trips, living with Nádia, loving spanish classes, being a racist and dating a black guy, spending NYeve in the beach with the ones I most love. It was all kinds of awesome last year.

This year:

Make it Mesmerizing!

Cloth Diapers

"A Cloth diaper is a reusable diaper and can be made from natural fibers, man-made materials, or a combination of both." says wikipédia
It is also a great "back to the old days" innovation.
Cloth diapers are the eco friendly choice when it comes to pooping. 
The disposable diapers are made of armful products for the environment, and are only used one time, and disposed on trash fields laying there for decades.

Why use cloth diapers?

They are washable, so your baby uses them time and time over. The diaper grows with your baby duo to the evolutionary growth closure system on them, and they go until your toddler is pot training and doesn't need them anymore. And after that, they can be passed on to your next child or to your cousins baby, or to your neighbor, you name it, but it is undeniable that these diapers do have a very long life span.
They can be a bit expensive, but you only need to have like 10-20 of them, and they pass on from baby to baby, so on the long run, they are way less expensive than the disposable ones. You can buy them second hand, and if you Do It Yourself, you will have diapers on a budget.
Another positive matter about this diapers, is that they can be made of eco friendly products, like 100% organic cotton, bamboo, and hemp.
I didn't know what hemp was, so I wikied it, and I'm impressed. Food, cloth, fuel, construction material and so on! Low maintenance,  few pesticides and no herbicides, make this cannabis variation of a plant the "do it all" of plants. So, has a non self proclaimed straight edge, I here say that from now on, this hemp plant is on my top favorite plants. 

Where to buy cloth diapers?

Which are the best?

There are many very good brands: Shop-by-Brand
Has a previous user of cloth diapers, I prefer one-size, fitted, snap closure, waterproof outside with pocket for linen insertion on the back.

Why not DIY (do it yourself)?

There are very many good DIY cloth diapers tutorials online, some of them really simples. Here are some:
