Bites and Bits of my Weekend | 3/4
February went gone really quick and this weekend flew away so fast!
On 1st of march I went for a well deserved coffee with my dear friend Sancha, there's nothing like share some friend gossip and giggles. I ended by spoil myself a little bit in a quick visit to H&M. (what's best for a rainy afternoon that some hot drink, friends and shopping to relax and clear ideas?). That's was the good part of the day, the bad part was that when I arrive home I my throat and my head were aching.
On Friday was better, but not feeling 100% right, so I stayed at home all day, hoping to be all good the next day. Yeah right, on Saturday, when woke up my throat was aching a lot, even more than on Thursday. I took some pills and dress cosy and warm to went out.
We went to your routine Saturday coffee by the seaside. I was not feeling very well, so after the coffee I just stayed in the car, instead of taking some photos to the foggy morning.
I ended to start to read one of the last books that I bought "Men Who Hate Women" by Stieg Larson (of which I will spoke better in another post).
After lunch I was feeling better, so went for a walk in the town. Ended up in one of my favourite shops Casa Ruim (Facebook and Website). Where I bought a couple of presents, some postcards from Crazy Cat&Dog People Collective Exhibition (you can learn more about the project in their facebook page) and a really cool notebook by Azul Caramelo (which sells products made in Portugal by Portuguese illustrators, and you can check more about them in their facebook and website). In case your wondering, I've choose the A5 notebook illustrated by Marta Monteiro (Blog and Portfolio) under the subject of the city: Coimbra.
Here's some video made by Casa Ruim with the Exhibition I mentioned above!
On Sunday, although I didn't slept much, because I was so hooked with the book, I woke up feeling way much better. After lunch went to the center of the city to take some pictures. It was procession, but I ended up just taking some photos to buildings and details.
and my favourite from that day...
We ended up skip the procession because we all had work to do. I confess that I didn't advance very much in my work, although I totally arrange and tide up my room. Clean my work space and end reading the book. And that was it my weekend.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and a terrific beginning of week, see you soon!!

Sting in the ear | Portugal the Man
Lead singer John Gourley creates all the art work for every album cover, t-shirt and tour poster.
The band left Alaska and went to Portland with the intent of recording and touring. The band recorded demos in the summer of 2004 and followed this with a tour with Chiodos that fall.
The Man's debut record Waiter: "You Vultures!" was released by Fearless Records on January 24, 2006.
Their name was what caught my eye, you know Portugal, I had to know a little bit more about them. I found that I enjoy their music, a lot. Not just the CD versions of the music, but the also the live, and specially the acoustic versions. Some of theirs acoustic versions are absolutely magic!!
Below are some of my favourites musics.

Bites and Bits of My Weekend | 25/26
So this was kind of busy and also a bit symbolic weekend.
On Saturday it was the end of workshop about write and illustration giving by Isabel Minhós Martins (writing) and Madalena Matoso (illustration), both co-founders of publishing house Planeta Tangerina. It as been wonderful experience, during the month of February (on Saturdays), this workshop. It help me a lot see things with other eyes, and another perspective. Totally worthy it!! I've also met some cool people there, which is always a big plus when we go for this kind of events.
Tomorrow starts the 2nd semester, and I'm still a little stuck with my master project, but I hope during this next couple weeks a finally but myself together and actually do something! Oh I'm also starting some new classes, more Illustration classes! This school year it's really becoming the workshop year! Which is wonderful in my point of view. I've totally done, so far, two (one about general illustration, and this one mentioned above). Back in October I've started one of drawing and that it's going to last all year (until the end of June), and tomorrow I'll be starting one about illustration! I'm really excited!
That summarizes my state of mind, and also my weekend!
Today was more a relaxing day, the morning was spend by the sea practising some photography, the lunch was late and at my grandma's house. The rest of the day was plain boring with me organizing some things for the week.
I think that's all for the day, Have a nice week!!! & enjoy some of my photos from today.

Sting in the ear | Lana del Rey
I must confess that at first time I didn't wanted to ear her, I thought I ear already too many music (which is a dumb thought, because, you never ear too much music), and search her through Youtube and I got hooked!
Along with Carnival music (loud, funky, sometimes funny, or even nonsense music) that's pretty much what I've been listening to.
JACOB BROWN in TMagazine says:
I don't know about being or not manufactured (and I don't care much either). Besides her being gorgeous with all that vintage vibe going on, she has a nice voice, and her music is very easy to listening to, in my opinion. So making it short, I like it, I will probably will listening for a while, and then I might had enough of it and change for something else, or I can keep coming back to it. Only time will tell.

JACOB BROWN in TMagazine says:
"Curvaceous and pretty in a dress, she brims with catchy songs, all a bit retro, ironic and modern. Without straying too far off the pop grid, she’s the perfect antidote to Rihanna-Gaga overload — dare we say, a skinnier Adele, a more stable Amy Winehouse? Since posting “Video Games” to YouTube last summer, she’s amassed tens of millions of hits, sold out concerts to fashion’s who’s who and now, finally, has released her long-awaited album, which is currently No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 in America, and No. 1 in Britain, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland and Austria. If you were going to manufacture a star for this moment, you’d manufacture her. Some people believe that’s precisely what happened."
