Me and My

Throughout the years, I've tried several times to make a plan to exercise regularly but I ended up failing every single one of them... 



I don't think I've ever mentioned here on the blog but dancing is one of my favorite things and I've done it for nearly 10 years! 
About 5 years ago, I started following Danielle Peazer because of her dancing career. Throughout the years I've watched her grow as a dancer, a model and recently she started uploading videos and tips about fitness and exercising. 


My playlist

Recently, I put together a playlist of some of her videos and a week ago I started working out using her videos and I can honestly say that I've never felt so engaged and focused on my training!
Because I hadn't worked out in months (Yes I know it's a long time...), I am starting slowly but I want to make sure that I work every part of my body. It's important to adapt every workout or exercise to your rhythm and to your routine and make sure you don't push yourself too hard!
I'm trying to balance burning fat with working my legs, abs and arms.
Apart from all these videos, I'm lucky to live near the beach and I like to go for a walk. I'm not a massive fun of running but I love to walk.
As to when I work out, I prefer to do it in the morning rather than in the evening or at night. I feel like when I do it in the morning I spend the rest of the day in such a great mood because it's like all the stress is released during the workout and I can actually enjoy my day!
I'll be adding more videos to the playlist as I try them or as I find them so make sure to follow the playlist or search Danielle on Youtube.

And last, but not least, she has a brand new website where she'll share everything about her training and fitness. 
Make sure to check it out! - daniellepeazer.com

Never give up!

My main problem about working out was giving up or being lazy and thinking that 'I'll just do it tomorrow'. This week I had the exact same feeling and I forced myself to work out and I felt so good after doing it! 
I'm aware that the results don't show up after a couple days and I'm going to keep this state of mind because I really want to achieve my goals!
Don't forget to keep pushing yourself, to never give up but make sure you don't hurt yourself!

Well, I know it's been a while, but I couldn't miss this post! In December (14th to 17th), there was the 4th edition of Comic Con Portugal, in Porto!
It's been almost a month but I felt like I really had to share these amazing 4 days I had! 

Comic Con is an event like nothing I've ever experienced. Last week, a friend of mine told me that he was curious about it and asked me if I could explain what would actually happen there. Honestly, I couldn't really explain it to him... I just told him what kind of areas it has and that was it... I don't know how to explain what Comic Con is if you haven't experienced it yet!


This edition of Comic Con was probably my favorite and it included the presence of: Dominic Purcell, Kirsten Vangsness, Clark Gregg and Daniela Ruah!

  • Dominic Purcell 


He was the nicest, most genuine person I've seen! I honestly didn't expect him to be as outgoing and kind as he was! 
At the end of his panels, he would always take time to take as many pictures as he could with his fans, even when his security pulled him to walk away.

  • Kirsten Vangsness



One of the biggest achievements of that weekend was watching Kirsten Vangsness! She plays one of my all time favorite characters, Penelope Garcia, from one of my favorite shows, Criminal Minds! She is as fun, crazy and sweet as Garcia and it was so interesting to find out that Kirsten puts so much of her personality into her character!

  • Clark Gregg



The most surprising moment was taking a photo with Clark Gregg. 
Me and my friends were dressed as secret agents that day and, at the end of Clark's panel, me and a friend of mine ran to try to get close to him. When my friend was right in front of him, he pulled her to take a picture with him because, in his words, 'She is dressed as me!'. Right after that, he looked at me and said 'Come here!', pulling me to his side and giving my phone to my friend to take a photo!
It was such a surreal moment but it was so amazing!

  • Daniela Ruah


Last, but definitely not least, on the last day, I had the pleasure of meeting one of my biggest inspirations of my entire life: Daniela Ruah!
When the confirmation was released, I thought that something unpredictable would happen and she wouldn't come to Comic Con. I waited for months and when the day finally arrived I felt so nervous, like nothing I've felt before. 
I waited about 20 to 30 minutes in line to meet her and when I only had 2 people in front of me I peeked and I saw her smile and she was so gorgeous!
When I went in, I was shaking so much that I couldn't hand my bag and my sunglasses to the volunteer, and he had to grab them from my hands... Yeah, I was that nervous...

It was finally my turn...
I hugged her and she told me she liked my suit (I was still dressed as a secret agent) and I know that at that point I just had a stupid smile on my face and I couldn't say anything! So, we took the picture, I thanked her a million times and left. Until this day, I'm not fully aware that that moment actually happened! I prayed so much for that moment to happen and it was even better than I expected. The only thing I regret was that I couldn't talk properly so I didn't tell her what I wanted but just hugging her and having that little moment with her was precious! 
When I met my friends again, they were at Dominic's panel and I had to sit down next to them, put my sunglasses on and just breath for 2 minutes because I couldn't feel anything inside me at that point!
Daniela Ruah is one of my 3 female inspirations and I can finally say that I've met her.



What are your biggest inspirations? Have you met anyone that left you speechless?
Did you go to Comic Con? What was your favorite day?

December 15th, 2016. Blog was created.
December 15th, 2017. One Year Anniversary
It feels like it was yesterday... I was in the library at college and I suddenly decided that it was time to create a blog and I just simply started putting everything together and it was the first time that I actually felt like I completed one of my projects! I loved the idea of having a blog and being able to share my feelings and today I'm 100% sure that it was one of my best ideas ever!

Even though I haven't been on most of the time, along the year, this blog has given me a sense of joy and relief that I can't begin to express! It has shown me the best side of life, the good things in life and how to overcome my obstacles. I focused on this blog because I was feeling down and miserable with myself and knowing I had somewhere I could rely on was really important for me! Knowing that I could share what I wanted without being judged, without people knowing who I am was exactly what I needed. I needed to letting everything out, all my feelings, all my ideas, all my insecurities and I didn't want to share it with people I knew, I just wanted to share without being concerned on what others thought about me. 
And this was it! This blog, for me, was a huge achievement and I wish I had done it sooner!
The smallest things in life can show you the light, you just have to allow yourself to see it! Happy One Year Anniversary my dearest readers!

I'm aware that I haven't posted for a while now... a looong while! To be honest, I haven't been in the best of places with myself and I felt like I should try to explain my absence.



During all this time, I wanted to post something but everything I'd write wasn't perfect or, at least, how I would like it to be. Besides, I didn't want to post just be regular, when in fact I didn't like what I had written.
As I said, I wasn't feeling the best and I wanted to take some time to focus on myself and recover from whatever was going on in my mind. 

I know I didn't have to explain any of this but I also felt like I was failing with my blog and with whoever follows my posts!
I am organizing everything in order to come back stronger than ever and I'm doing a lot of research on how to upgrade my blog and on how to make it better!

As you’re probably aware, yesterday there was a terrible terrorist attack in Manchester. A man committed suicide while exploding a device inside Manchester’s Arena, where Ariana Grande had just finished a show. More than 20 people died and 59 were injured from this disaster. The arena was full of 20.000 kids and teenagers and they were the target of the explosion.



Kids.

Teenagers.

Young people.

School students.

Probably college students.

This was a terrible shock for everyone but what I witnessed on Twitter was heartwarming and it filled me with hope. During the day after the attack, all I could see on Twitter were messages of hope, love and compassion. People sharing photos of someone’s friend who was missing after the show, trying to help however they could from a long distance. I even saw a story of a girl who didn’t know where her friend was and because people shared it so much, a guy tweeted her back saying she was with him and his friends and their hotel and her phone had died so they let her stay with them!
But not everyone had the same happy ending… a little girl called Georgina had tweeted a long time ago saying she couldn’t wait to see Ariana Grande on her Dangerous Woman Tour (“i miss you sooo much - can wait to see you on the dw tour, its gonna kill me”). She was one of the first confirmed deaths. She lost her life on the day she waited so long for.
22 of 20.000 people left their homes this Monday to go to such a big concert never knowing that they wouldn’t even leave the Arena. It was their last moment, their last time. There’s no possible explanation for this. And besides the tragic death, the only positive thing I can think of is that they died after watching their idol perform. They hopefully died happy with what the show they had just witnessed.

Reading all those tweets and writing this filled my eyes with tears. ´
This makes me think that there is no such thing as ‘tomorrow’ or ‘today’. There’s the ‘now’. There’s ‘this moment’. The exact moment you’re reading this.
So, do me a favor and go live your life to the fullest, go tell your loved ones that you care about them, do what you’ve always wanted to do! Do it! Do it now! Do it today! Love yourself and whoever is sitting right next to you!
Don’t live for ‘then’, live for ‘now’.


All the love and support to everyone affected by this tragedy! Love from Portugal!
Thank you for reading! 
See ya!

I've talked many times about me but I feel like I've never really explained why I started this blog in first place!

This is actually not the first blog I've had... I must have had about 4 or 5 blogs but I've only kept this one and I've never told anyone about them. The other ones didn't have any structure or schedule to upload and I would write about anything I wanted and it was mainly complaining about love and life and it was about the worst time of my life. I created the first one but instantly deleted it because I wasn't sure about sharing those kinds of feelings.
A while later, I designed one to post all the texts I had about a guy, including the Love Note I posted a few weeks ago, but an "accident" happened and all of my classmates found out about it and I broke down and deleted it so no one would actually have the chance to read those intimate texts.

I tried, I really tried to create one and just write but I had no idea what to do with it... And I really wanted to work hard on it!
After this, I planned everything, the name, the design, the logo, the content and when I was happy with my idea, I built "Me and My" and it is honestly helping me so much! I am finally working on what I've always dreamed: I'm writing for other people to read! I'm not just writing on my laptop and saving it to my docs... I'm actually sharing it and this is exactly what I love to do!


I hope you are enjoying my blog and if you haven't checked out the other posts, please feel free to do so!
I'm also thinking of doing a post on how I planned this blog. What do you think?

"Inspired by..." is a series of posts that I'll write about from time to time. It will consist on talking about someone that inspires me or that I truly admire. Hope you like it!

Maybe you don't know who this guy is, but let me introduce you: Pedro Gonçalves is a portuguese artist, singer-songwriter, youtuber and one of the nicest people I've ever met! I had the pleasure of meeting him back in December 2014 and until this day, there hasn't been a single time that I've seen him without a smile on his face!

Pedro Gonçalves

He started by doing covers for YouTube and yes, there's a lot of people doing covers but he works those songs and makes them his own music and he sings those lyrics like he owns them and you can feel and understand each and every word he sings. One of his most recent videos was "Shape of you" and it honestly gave me goosebumps and I believed every word he sang!

I've followed him for over 2 years now and he is one of those people whose steps you proudly accompany and I've seen him grow and become better and better, until he was one of the final contestants of 'The Voice' 2015!


Eurovision Song Contest Portugal

Now, a year later, he was one of the finalists competing to represent Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017! And that night he tweeted apologizing for his performance because he thought that maybe he wasn't at his best but he assured us that he had put all his heart in that final performance! 
So, Pedro, from the moment you knew you left your heart on that stage, you gave your best! And even if it wasn't the best, remember what you achieved and what you learnt, retain it and use it for your future!

He went from singing in his room for YouTube to singing in a crowded theater, in Coliseu dos Recreios, one of the biggest and most famous theaters in Portugal! I'm truly and fully proud of him and everything he has achieved for the past few years and I'll keep supporting him and following him throughout his life!
Because of him, I believe that dreams do come true and if I fight for what I want, I'll achieve it! He fought some of the worst adversities that life can come up with and he stood up and kept fighting for his dream and I don't know if I should say it but, Pedro, I'm sure your mother, wherever she is, is super proud of the person and artist you became! 
Thank you for the smiles, the pictures, the surprise on my 18th birthday (story for another time!) and for being such a genuine person!

This text has nearly 4 years and it was the most personal and genuine text I've ever written. I used to be ashamed of sharing this but now I realize that this was probably the best thing I've written! 




I’ve never felt anything like this for anyone before! This year I had the best birthday of my life. Do you know why? Because that was when I realized who I wanted for the rest of my life, that was when I knew you were the one and it was you I wanted by my side.

Everytime I see you I feel a shiver inside me… a good, nervous and passionate one. Everytime I see you seems like everything in my life fits and I feel complete. When you talk, you illuminate me. When you smile, I smile with you. When you laugh, I laugh along. When you tease me, I fall deeper in love.
I hate myself… I hate myself so much for not being able to tell you all this, for not being able to open my heart and tell you exactly how I feel, for being weak and for not being brave enough to fight for what I want. If I’m scared? Of course yes! I’m scared of your reaction if you find out what I feel for you, I’m scared you’ll stay away from me, I’m scared I’ll lose your friendship, I’ll lose you forever! I don’t want to lose you… neither now nor ever. It might be just a simple friendship but I don’t want to lose the smallest bond I have with you.
I wish I could hug you whenever, hold you and never let go, grab your hand and never separate them again, kiss you lips today, tomorrow and forever, whisper you “I love you” and hear it back. I wish I could be with you whenever I want without fearing what you might think.
But what makes me feel sadder? Knowing that one day I might arrive and watch you hug someone else…. Watch you kiss, hug and hold someone like I dreamt…. Watch you being happy and in love with someone who doesn’t love you like I do, someone who doesn’t know how hard it is to be with you every single day and keep my mouth shut because I’m scared of your reaction.
While I write this, I went on Facebook and saw you online and I wish I was brave enough to start a conversation with you or send you a simple ‘I love you’. I would love to be confident and not scared to fight for what I really want, for what I need and love. No one is ever going to love you like I do and always will do.
You might not even imagine this but sometimes you are the only one who can make me laugh when I feel like nothing else makes sense. You always make sense! I love you.

"Inspired by..." is a series of posts that I'll write about from time to time. It will consist on talking about someone that inspires me or that I truly admire. Hope you like it!

‘Supernatural’ is by far my favorite show of all time! And not only for its story but also for the actors. I started watching ‘Supernatural’ because I’ve always been interested in the show and I wanted to know the full story since, if you watch ‘Supernatural’, you’ll know it can be really confusing if you haven’t seen the whole of it … And I happened to start watching it when I was at my worst, exactly a year ago.

When I started this ‘Inspired by…’ series, I knew that I had to talk about them and since yesterday was Jensen’s birthday, this is the perfect time to talk about him and Jared. Well, I chose to talk about them both because to talk about one of them I would automatically talk about the other, so: Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester) and Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester)!

Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki

I watched the whole 11 seasons in about 2 months and I was immediately obsessed with it! And yes it was about the action, the drama, the sci-fi but it was also about the two brothers and their courage and faith and love for each other! They don’t say ‘no’, they don’t give up, they do their best and give everything they can to save themselves, each other and anyone else involved!
The best thing about their bond is that it also happens in real life and they are such close friends and we see that in interviews and conventions panels. I’ve never been to one but I love to see them on Youtube and they are always so genuine, so kind, so pure, so humble and they never fail to make people laugh. And this bond doesn’t just happen for the good things… It is also for bad times and Jared has shared many times about his depression and about his ups and downs and he can’t even imagine how much that helped me! Not just me, but lots of other people who, like me, are all around the world cheering for them!

I know they don’t know me and I don’t know them personally but I just hoped they knew that somewhere in Portugal they saved a life! I didn’t know how to do this, how to live, how to deal with anything anymore and “getting to know them” and ‘Supernatural’ literally saved my life and I can never thank them enough for that! I genuinely and deeply love them and yeah of course I want to meet them, but if they knew this, I would already be the happiest person!
It’s their smiles, their laughs, their jokes, their dance moves, their songs, their passion for what they do, their compassion, their friendship, their courage, their hard work! It’s each and every little thing about them that makes me admire them more and more and more and I would give anything to have 5 minutes to tell them this!

They taught to 'Love yourself first' and to ' Always Keep Fighting' because 'You Are Not Alone'... 'Family always has your back'!

Well, yeah I'm a Potterhead! 
Harry Potter is my favorite series of films and one of my favorite series of books! I owe this obsession to my brother because I would watch the films with him and he bought all the books so I ended up following it as well. And I'm glad I did!
At first, I found it a bit scary since I was pretty young when I watched the first Harry Potter film because let's be honest watching a face grow at the back of someone's head isn't the most pleasing thing for a kid to watch! Despite this, I still watched the films and I really liked them!

However, watching these films when you're a bit older is completely different because I think of the characters and the story in a totally different way than I did before! Now, I see the unbreakable friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione; the sacrifice that Lily Potter made to save her son; the fear behind everyone's eyes every time Voldemort comes back and the reason behind each character's actions. 

This last point is specifically about Draco because before I would look at Draco like he was just a mean kid but now I understand why he does what he does. He never had proper attention from his parents and because his family was very wealthy I guess money was his reward and it got him used to having everything he wanted the way he wanted. So when a boy like Harry took the attention away from him and rejected him, he had to find a way of still being "someone" whilst around Harry and I think that's why he always acted like he didn't care and he always tried to insult and belittle the others around him. Afterwards, in the last films, Draco realizes what side he is in and that he doesn't actually want to be the person he is becoming but his devotion to his parents is bigger than his own will so he ends up in the dark side. So yeah Draco is one of my favorite characters!
Actually my favorite characters are not really the common ones like Harry, Ginny, Ron or Hermione, but instead Draco, George and Fred. I've already explained Draco but about George and Fred I don't really know how to explain it... they have such an intense friendship and the fact that they're twins made them be even closer brothers.




After all this, I think all that's left to say is my Hogwarts House! I signed up to Pottermore (if you don't know what that is, please go check it out and lose your minds: https://www.pottermore.com) a couple years ago maybe? I don't know exactly but once I signed up I did the Hogwarts House quiz and the result was... Hufflepuff! Yeah I know there's a lot of misunderstanding about this house but yeah I'm a Hufflepuff and I'm proud Haha!


So, I don't know if this post was interesting enough or if it was good at all but I hope you liked it and if you did, please don't forget to share it!
Also, make sure to leave in the comments who are your favorite characters from Harry Potter and hey, do you know which Hogwarts House you belong to? Then leave that in the comments as well!
