Now… who wants some never-before-published cat photos? :3
After all the funny and scary times on Hallow’s Eve I finally reached Alda’s home (that, if I had to describe with one word, matrioska would be it) and had some rest. She just moved there with her boyfriend, so I was finally #1 in something and debuted their guest’s room (which is very awesome, filled with books and manga till the horizon - I spent about an hour tilting my neck left and right to check out what they had)! o/
The next day Alda and me went to the subway station to wait for the other Alda (I was Lost in AldaNation that day, I still don’t know how I survived) and have some nom nom nomz tiem. While waiting, Alda and I also chatted non-stop like two cars in a race. Why does this always happen when I meet one of them Aldas? I don’t know, but it’s cool and I finally had the opportunity to be with the two of them at the same time. I loved this day! :,)
Alda took us to a hipsta-mall that has a graffiti outside that changes often (see pic #1 for what was in there when I visited). We then had some very fine and tasty (yet very affordable) meal and window-shopped vintage stuff. I actually bought something - a bag of gengibre. I never had it in my life and the nice lady at the mui concept let me taste some and I liked it plus its retarded spicy effect (see pic #2).
Later, Shini-san joined us and brought Sam with him, whom I did not recognize until later because he presented her with her real name and I’m too used to her handles. Oops! She complained about it, but I think she should be happy instead because I liked her without knowing she was Sam, which can only mean one thing: I double-like her! <3
Before I headed back to Espinho (thanks for the ride, Alda :*) where my grandma was waiting for me to bring me home, we still had some time to visit a store that had a lot of Japanese stuff: Kuri Kuri. We had some fun tiems, there. Sam saw an owl and almost screamed, me and Shizamura tried some glasses and Shini pulled a ninja on us and photographed the groups’s feet without anyone noticing.
This ends up my adventure in Porto. I hope there’s another soon. I love hanging out with these peeps! ^-^
Continuing the story…
This is how I went to the Ornatos Violeta concert (minus the hat). When my mother saw the bow-tie she told me not to use it. Tough luck, mom. I never listened to your fashion advices, not even when I was a kid, not gonna start now. :P Plus, bow-ties are cool and my friends get it.
</rebel> But it’s ok, you don’t need to watch Dr.Who, just now know that it is my fav sci-fi tvshow evur! o/ Mkay? ^-^
The 2nd pic is my ERMAHGERD face. Something that happens often, especially in front of the mirror.

It was also my reaction to my mom not knowing bow-ties are cool and her question: - “Who is Doctor Who?”.
My very first attempts at craquelet and stencil, some years ago. #ArtisanCrafts #DIY
At one of the biggest assemblies of 2011 at #AcampadaCoimbra, with the presence of Boaventura Sousa Santos.
One of the photos I made that day (see last pic of this set) hit two of Coimbra’s journals, but sadly they took away my watermark and added a link to an inexistent blogspot (with a typo in my name, humph) instead, near the photo. All of this without my consent. Boo! This is why I decided to change all my watermarks, from Eloísa Valdes to eloisavaldes.com - next time, hopefully, someone at least will credit me right! Right?

LOL. Who am I kidding?
