Looking through my window, what I see makes me feel sick. Seriously, when is it going to stop raining? I want sun sooo bad. Or it might be cold but please stop the rain. We get wet, my shoes are full of water and we have to run everywhere because we want to protect our hair. I can't wait for Spring to come. My closet is full of cool clothes that I really want to wear. I tried my bikinis yesterday so I could get a little taste of summer and I realized that I have to buy new ones. The patterns are last season so I guess I'll have to get some new bikinis. I heard that Cia. Maritima has an awesome new collection so I can't wait to check them out!

Last night was my university's party and I had such an awesome time! I'm part of the students committee and I'm in charge of our blog. It's not totally finished yet but when it's done I'll show you. So, we the human sciences committee organized the party along with law students committee and all together we through one of this year's biggest parties. It was at Gossip and we invited Dj Diego Miranda and Liliana. Together they have the single "Ibiza Dreams" with I like but don't adore. It's ok. I prefer "Selfish Love" of Pedro Cazanova and Andrea. But anyways, being part of the students committee has its benefits so we had access to the private are and we could have a little more space. Within the crowd there wasn't a lot of it. And I'm small so I was getting smashed and hit all the time. In the private are we had space and I danced a lot. The music was really good and we could see that everybody was really enjoying the party. Me and my friends danced all together and we had an awesome time of course :)



These were my clothes yesterday night: the H&M t-shirt from The Blues collection, Zara skirt (it was only eight euros because it has a special price, so if you like it don't hesitate on getting one because it's really comfortable), Miss Sixty's watch and lot's of rings and hearings. I really like blue nail polish, it's one of my favorite colors to use on my nails. I think I might get a darker one, not totally black but yet dark. My style has been changing a lot lately. And I had to use a pair of black boots with the outfit because last week I went out in heels and I twisted my ankle. I really didn't want to hurt myself again so I wore a pair of black boots instead of black high heels (though I think it's much more fashionable and cute to go out in heels rather then in boots). Either ways you know you'll finish your night with your feet screaming for freedom and walking like a total ass on the day after because you can't step your feet on the floor. Come on, who wasn't felt that way yet?

Tonight I have annual cousin's dinner. I am the second youngest cousin on my mother's side and most of them have already have kids so it's really funny when we get all together because there is a lot of noise and we always have stories to share.
Today I leave you with one song that I've been listening to a lot. It's from "New Moon" soundtrack and I totally love it!

Good morning everyone! I just had my regular breakfast (eggs, bread, milk, orange juice) and watched a little Cougar Town. I’m going to have a busy day! First of all I’m going Publics and Audiences class, then English and to finish Organizations Management. It has been almost a month since Summer semester begun and there are only three months left before Summer starts. If everything goes as I hope it does I’m going to start vacation on the 9th of June. I know I’m pretty lucky because not everyone gets three months of vacation!


Things to do: buy Rock In Rio ticket for John Mayer, Shakira and Ivete Sangalo day. I’ve checked who is going to Madrid and I have to say that the ones coming here are much better then the ones going to Spain. I’m only jealous they’ll have the chance to see Rihanna and David Guetta. But hope is the last one to die and there’s still a free day (there are no people assigned for the 22nd) and I’m praying that Rihanna and Lady GaGa are coming.

Another thing I have to is to check some residence halls in Barcelona. I’m pretty sure I’m going there for Erasmus and I don’t want to stay in a house. I know I could have a little more freedom and no hours to arrive home but I prefer to be safer in a residence hall and having people cooking for me (I’m good at it anyways) and cleaning (I HATE cleaning). My mother has already showed me a few and now we have to choose. If I go to Barcelona, me and my parents are going there by Easter vacation to check everything out. Probably I’ll have the chance to do some cool shopping and remembering the city. The last time I was there I was seven years old and I don’t remember many of the things I’ve seen. I remember pretty well Portaventura but I guess that is because I was a kid and I keep beautiful memories from it. Me and the friend that are possibly going to Barcelona already promised each other that we are going at least once to Portaventura.


I have to plan my summer vacation as well. It is quite planned now but I have to arrange everything. So in June I’m pretty much going to the beach almost everyday and go out at night to Tamariz, that is the coolest place to go out during summer. I’ve spent there many nights last year and I always had a good time. The DJ’s are awesome and I love the view of the beach from it. In July I plan to have Spanish course and to find a job. I don’t know what job but I need to have money for travelling during Erasmus. I want to go to London, Paris and Amsterdam while I’m out. I might get a job at a store or in a cultural place. I don’t know. And then in August I’m going to Sudoeste for the first time and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Me and camping never got along really well but I know I’m going to have a good time with all the people that have a free spirit like me. And since Empire Of The Sun are going to SuperBockSuperRock, I really hope MGMT come to Sudoeste (Kids is one of my favourite songs of all times). After that I think I might spend some days in Algarve with my parents and then go to Erasmus.

Lisbon Fashion Weeks is starting in one week. I’M SO EXCITED. Me and my work group from Audiovisual Communication Techniques couldn’t be more excited about our project! We are going to cover all the event, we will take awesome pictures and talk to important people in the fashion world. It seems like every girls dream come true!



So this is what I’m going to wear today, Mango top and skirt, H&M tights and on top it a simple black jacket. I hope you guys like the look! I have to go now. One thing I couldn’t be more excited about it’s my university’s party tonight! Tomorrow I’mm give you all the details about what happened!
xx,
Rita

These are my two favorite items from The Blues Collection from H&M.

My Erasmus Application Text

We needed to write a text about why we should be chosen. I hope this thing inspires you somehow.

The will of man to know, explore, exchange experiences and learn is timeless. With all these purposes I present my candidature for the Erasmus. I consider myself able to participate because, early on, I got used to live, in Portugal and abroad, in multicultural environments and be independent and responsible.
I prefer the University Ramon Llull, as I know Barcelona, one of my favorite cities. My second choice, the University Complutense, it follows its tradition of academic excellence and the formation of good journalists.
Although Spanish is not my optional language, I propose to open new language horizons, so important for my professional future. I'll attend an immediate course of preparation and, with time, cement the knowledge.

A vontade do Homem de conhecer, explorar, trocar experiências e aprender é intemporal. Com todos estes propósitos apresento a minha candidatura ao Programa Erasmus. Considero-me apta a participar dado que, desde cedo, me habituei a conviver, em Portugal e no estrangeiro, em ambientes multiculturais e a ser autónoma e responsável.
Dou preferência à Universidade Ramon Llull, já que conheço Barcelona, uma das minhas cidades favoritas. A minha segunda escolha, a Universidade Complutense, resulta da sua tradição académica e da excelência na formação de bons jornalistas.
Apesar de o Espanhol não ser a minha língua opcional, proponho-me abrir novos horizontes linguísticos, tão importantes para o meu futuro profissional. Frequentarei de imediato um curso de preparação e, com a estadia, cimentarei os conhecimentos adquiridos.

Janet Jackson feat. Pitbull – “HeartBeat Love”

A Carnival to treasure. Forever.

So, after a hungover Friday, by four o'clock in the afternoon, I took the bus to Sesimbra. The sun was shinning. When I got there two of my six friends that were about to spend the long weekend with me came to pick me up at the bus stop. When we arrived home by five o'clock in the afternoon they were still having lunch. After that, we went to a coffee shop with other three friends of ours (that were in a different house) to chill. We got back home, we had a quick dinner by ten and half and got into our first costume: maids. We had this horrendous black dresses and cat mask (the dress was unique size so it was huge on me!). And we went down to Sesimbra, to the place where everybody parties. We watched a live concert with Brazilian music and then we went to a big bar where we partied all night. We headed home around seven o'clock in the morning. Totally tired, some where drunk and others were starving. After eating we all went to bed.


Valentine's Day. We woke up around two o'clock in the afternoon with hope to go watch the Carnival parade in Sesimbra. Hands down, it was raining. So we spent the day in the couch, in front of the fireplace, eating sweets, really warm with blankets, watching movies on TV, and, believe me, it was the most perfect Valentine's Day EVER. All the girls together, it was so much fun. Then we had a good dinner all together and got into that night's costume: school girls. I don't want to call it collegiate because it wasn't kinky at all. We had skirts by our knees, long socks, a blazer and a tie. First of all we stopped at a bar that has really cheap drinks so I drank black vodka with 7up that it's one of my favorite drinks and some shots with everybody. After that we went to the bar where we were the night before and we partied all night. We danced, we met a lot of people, we had so much fun. Actually I hadn't had that feeling of true fun a long time ago. We headed home by five o'clock.


The next day I woke up by three o'clock. We wanted to go to the parade again but it was raining and it was sooo cold. So we stayed home again and watched Lua Vermelha and Morangos com Açúcar (LOL) all afternoon. By dinner we went to our friends house to have a "mariscada". We had the most amazing dinner ever, with lots of sea food, beer and sangria. That night was clown's night in Sesimbra so we dressed up like clowns. I just put a old pijamas on and wrote YTRAP in my forehead and was ready to go. We took the bus out to dowtown Sesimbra and went to some bars first before going to the bar where we were the nights before. It had so many people at the door that a friend of mine, when we were close to the door and to speed up the process of going inside, pretended she was feeling sick an the security guard got us in quickly and we didn't pay. It was so funny because I didn't realize she was pretending and when I realized it I was like "YOU'RE AN AMAZING ACTRESS". That night was epic. The bar was crowed but we could still dance inside. We danced with some home boys and girls of Sesimbra, friends of friends. It was crazyyyyyyyyyyy. I have such good memories of that night. And everybody was going out of their minds. I loved it. We headed home but seven o'clock, willing for a good night sleep.


We woke up totally tired around three in the afternoon. We packed our things and went to downtown Sesimbra to finally watch the parade. But when we got there it started raining. We set down in a coffee to have lunch by five and got back to the house to get our things and come back to Lisbon.
I'll never forget these days. All the moments we spent together. The people I met. The people I got the chance to see again (since last year). All the partying. All the conversations we had. The fact that at some point we were five or six in the bathroom getting ready. A Valentine's Day spent with all the girls. The Brazilian music that, somehow, does not want to come out of my mind. And, from all of them, this one is my favorite and I'll have the chance to see Ivete Sangalo in Rock in Rio, 21st of May, along with Shakira and John Mayer. I'll be at the front row.

I have been having many busy days lately. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were really quick days. On Wednesday night, I went to the premier of "Valentine's Day" which I absolutely loved. It stars many of my favorite actors and actress like Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba and Emma Roberts(who I love and is the star of Wild Child, my favorite movie ever). And it's hot that Mc. Steamy from Grey's Anatomy and Bradley Cooper represent a gay couple. At first you don't notice they are a couple but when you get the idea you're totally like WHAT A HELL, NO WAY!! So, if you're doubting about going to watch that movie don't doubt anymore and go, I'm sure you'll love it.

On Thursday I started my day watching 90210, again. It's one of my favorite tv shows ever. My favorite character is Silver. I also like watching Gossip Girl, Cougar Town, The Vampire Diaries, Melrose Place and, as much as I hate to admit it, Glee. During breakfast (when I wake up my parents are getting ready to go to work), I normally come to the computer and ready blogs or watch an episode of a tv show. I think it's a great way to start your day! My favorite class on Thursday was Organizations' Managing. It was the first time I had it and I really liked it. During this semester we are going to study interesting topins such as: managing people, hierarchy and structure, power within the organization, liders and lidership and other topics. I'm really looking forward to the next classes (believe me, I don't say this very often).


At night, I had my university Carnival party at Bar do Rio. I had an amazing time! I was dressed like Pipi Long Stockings, it was something last minute. I grabbed a pair of pink tights, one purple sock and other red sock, shorts, a colorful t-shirt and a denim long jacket from H&M. I made two brades with my hair, put a lot of pink powder and made freckles with my brown eyeliner in my cheeks and I was ready to go! I love my university parties because we are an awesome group of people and we always have fun together. My favorite costume was a friend of mine that was dresses like Bob, the Builder! She even had an hairdryer attached to her belt, she was a true tool girl ahah!

Tomorrow I'm going to Sesimbra for Carnival. I couldn't be more excited about it! Me and my friends went already there last year and we had an amazing time! Everybody in the street was dressed in a different way (I even remember seeing people dressed as slices of pizza so imagine the rest!). And, on Sunday, it's Valentine's Day so we are going to have a "single ladies" dinner which will be a lot of fun. I like the romantic side of Valentine's Day and I like the idea that there is one special day of the year for people to celebrate the fact that they found their beloved ones. The other people celebrate the fact that they still have the chance to do all the crazy stuff they want to do without having to give satisfactions! So we all have the chance to celebrate. Good, right?

I'm really looking forward to see Wildfox Couture Fall 2010 collection. Here are the pieces that have already been released:






That's all for today!
I'll blog on Wednesday when I get back.
Have fun people and ... HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Share the love
xx

Do you like it boy?

I like when you tell me kiss it here.
I like when you tell me move it there.
So giddy up,
Time to get it up.
You say you a rude boy,
Show me what you got now.
Come here right now.
