New kids on the block!

When I was younger I used to be literally brainwashed by my cousin and her sick admiration for the New Kids On The Block, what was at the time the male version of Spice Girls.

This time the story is a bit different, the kids are my best friends in Portugal and block in this case would be the centre of Amsterdam!

Yes that's true my best friends are in town directly from Lisbon to celebrate my 30th birthday this Saturday.

They just called me, I'll meet them in a few minutes at the Central Station and from then on only time will tell what is going to happen.

David, Claudio, Hugo and Ricardo get ready for the ride of your lives :-)

Talk to you later... I hope...

Stormy Week

It was a very stormy week this last one but still it was a very good one.

The storm was definitely the moment of the week, totally unexpected and chaotic and resulted in a really nice last minute dinner at the office with my colleagues since there were no public transports so we ordered some food from the, now official, ebuddy restaurant Me Gusta just on the other side of the street.

The weekend was also pretty good, I got to spend a lot time with a lot of my friends that haven't seen for a while.
Specially on Saturday where I had the privilege to go to Maria's house to join the Fabada Party with nice food and of course drinks too :-)

Needless to say that Sunday was almost a waste, didn't do much so I was able to recover for what I expect to be a great week!

By the way, the storm also reminded me that I should start planning my vacation to Brazil, I can't handle much more of this weather!

Happy 2007

Happy New Year Everybody!



I spent a really nice new year's eve surrounded with friends! Unfortunately not all of my friends were there but some of them were better than I was, some in India some in Cape Verde... you know what I mean :-)

Anyway it was a great night and I hope that it's a premonition for this new year of 2007 just ahead of us!
I would be very happy already if it was as good as this late year of 2006, it was a great year full of wonderful moments both in the personal and professional aspects!

As always, each year starts with my birthday but this year is a very special one since I'm turning the 30 barrier! I know it's just psychological because in my heart I'll always be a 9 years old child but this year it's going to require a special celebration.
My friend Vitor is going to prepare me a "surprise" party!
What I mean is that I asked Vitor to use his proved skills for organizing great parties and he will be the one organizing my 30 years old birthday party, I'll just have to sponsor it ;-)
Anyway I want it to be a full surprise so I don't want to know anything about it!
When the day comes I just want him to tell me where and when I have to be and I'm sure that I wont be regretted!

So if you are in Amsterdam on Saturday, the 27th of January, and you don't want to loose what I promise to be one of the best birthday parties you've ever been make sure you ask Vitor or send him an email about all the arrangements because I won't be able to help you :-)

That's it for now, a great 2007 for all of you and a very happy birthday to me if you don't mind ;-)
