How do I love certain ideas...

(and how a postcard can say them so right)

2nd July 2009

Well, I don't know where I will be or what I will be doing on most part of my days, but on this day I'm going to be at London, in Hyde Park, to see (and listen) the waited return of Blur =)

My London-company has lovely ideas :P

It still misses the ticket Lisbon-London, but since we already have the concert tickets, #39 (if not before :P) is scheduled!!

First Aids

Compared with the “ideal-one” showed in Wikipedia, my first aid-kit is very very simple, but even though is done and ready to go to the car. When I start to get together all the little things for it I couldn’t avoid in thinking in how in a more serious accident it could be completely useless. All those things inside are for “little damages” and unfortunately car accidents so many times bring “big big damages” and for those a first-aid kid is nothing… Despite that I want to focus on positive things and if in a little trip someone get hurts or feel bad, yes, my kit can help =)

So, my first aid kit already has:
* Gauze roller bandages
* Adhesive bandages
* Sterile gauze pads
* Adhesive Tape
* Gloves
* Scissor
* Antispetical Povidone Iodine Wipe (Betadine)
* Pain-and-fever-killers (Ben-U-Ron, Nimesulida, Tylenol)
* Sugar
* Needle and Line
* Tweezer
* Thermal blanket/Space Blanket

Still missing:
* A gel for some skin problems (burns, sunburns, itching)
* Aspirin
* Anti dhiarrea medication (we never know!)
* Sterile Eye Wash
* Digital Thermometer

It isn’t much, but are all the things that I know how to use in little situations =)
I know that the idea can sound idiot, but I’m still going to study the cost of a fire extinguisher…

Others
* Yesterday I saw “Le Fabuleux Destin de Amélie Poulain”, my 2nd movie from the 101 movies to see from IMDB List
* It’s being much more difficult to read a whole newspaper than not to turn on the TV one day for week…actually, I think I’m doing that about two nights for week, while the newspaper is only full read about two or three days after I bought it

"It isn't possible to love and to part. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that poets are right: love is eternal."

On friday I received a wonderfull little pack from England with this book and a dvd full of music and yes, it's sunday and I'm still happy with that. My computer in every fifteen days looses a function and now I'm reaching the point where I can't download anything. Literally. Photos, videos, attachments, files, office documents... what a mess! So, when someone from the island remembers to share some music - and in a dvd fits a lot of music =) - we feel really good. It's like to receive the "all pack": the book in english and hours of good songs. Those two things and the image of my couch... it sounds so nice!

Yesterday I went to a friend's wedding and, in the middle of that party-and-hapiness-environment, I stood a little bit thoughtfull. It's a friend that I really thought that would never get married (at least formally, on that traditional wedding idea) and that makes my mind think in how people are always surprising us. At 2 a.m., when half of the guests had already gone out, I still was looking for her and thinking "She really got married". On their wedding rings ("Titanium rings" - as they said to everyone!!) is carved "We must never be apart", a little piece from a song lyric. And how I wish that they never get apart.

After a few weddings we start to think in which ones are those that are going to be the exception. The ones that will get through all problems, the ones that I'm going to look to them after 15 years and say to myself "Yes, they are still in love". Probabilities theories devastate my romantic expectations. And I don't like that.

Finally, how can a friend that is working at Dubai for about ten months can help us with our crazy lists?
Answer: This week the friend said that he's going to buy a motorbike when he comes back to Portugal. And I have now company for #49 =)
