Hey buddies!
Well, just a quick post to let you know what I've been up to.
Unfortunately, all of my close friends are with some kind of impediment to see me. Some went out of Lisbon, others are sick or working or in some way occupied. I would lie if I've said to y'all that I'm happy with this. I mean, I'm not sad at all, I'm just fine with it. I get it. I pinky promise, I do.
Due to these events, I've been spending more time with my 1st round folks, my family and some old friends I haven't seen in a while.
That's pretty much what I've done lately.
Stay cool folks
xoxo
Tommy

PS. Yes, my daddy has a new puppy, what means that I have a new family member! So, adorable bloggers, say Hi to the still no-name-puppy :D

Embracing changes!

Unknown No comments

You know those moments when you know up front, you need to make some serious and substantial changes in your life? Things can't keep up the way they are and it is notoriously the time for a change. It's the time to say goodbye to what have been keeping you from doing your best and for what is no longer part of your life even though you keep arranging a space for it. It's time to welcome those things and people which make part of your newest brand life and embrace whatsover they bring with them.

I had one of these moments this morning at church when my younger brother, Hélio, was giving his testimony. It's been a long since I felt this emotional and for the first time, I felt incredibly proud of my not-young-anymore peachy. He turn out to be a very good and handsome man with an incredible heart. And those simple and few words that came out of his mouth, made me reavaluate my entire life. He said he wanted to make his family proud of him, he wanted to change for us. And even though the last years dealing with him, haven't being my favourite cup of tea, I can see now, all effort was worth it. He's ready to become the man he's meant to be. And nothing bloggers, I assure you, nothing, makes me happier than seeing my little brother as happy as he is at the moment.

And he's not the only one who need to change. I'm, as well, ready to become the woman and the example to my folks they always need me to be.

Anyway, I know I might be looking somewhat or especially lame and soulful today, but that's what come through my mind and heart now. I do have now a clear understanding of what person should I work out to become.

That's what's in my heart today, bloggers.

Foremost, I love my family and also care about you all and God for putting the right people in my life and for showing me there's always a room to improve.

And thank y'all, for taking always time to read what I have to share.

This is, by far, the most emotional post I have ever written.

with love,

Tommy

PS. A small apart: Sometimes when we love something or someone very badly, we have to learn to let them go and let them chase their own paths.

Hello fellas!
It's been a while, I know. I've been doing a lot of stuff, lately. Spending some quality time with my friends and receiving very good news!
Starting with the news, FINALLY, I received an email confirming my place at Huddersfield. Yes, ma folks, I'M IN. And of course, I couldn't be gladder and definitely, I've got a few people who support me during the battle time to be very thankful to. This is very important and personal achieving in my life so that I'm jumping for joy. The first meeting will be on 17th September, the first day of classes will be on 24th September. So, it's over a month from now, I still got some time to assimilate everything I need to assimilate.
Continuing, last Thursday, almost a week ago, I had a sleepover at a very good friend of mine's house. We were only three, but it was so much fun. We went to the beach to meet some guy friends of ours, played football, played cards (I learnt how to play hearts *.*) and also played some cool games on my tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. Summing up, we spent a very nice couple of days all together.
Then, on the last weekend, I had another sleepover at church's friend of mine's house. It was fun too, not as much as the previous one, but undoubtedly pleasant. I went there to help her packing for a church activity that my younger brother is as well participating now. I don't know if you guys still remember or even if you were following my blog by then, but in 2010, I had participated on EFY, is a church program especially for youth which has a length of a week.
And finally, yesterday, me and some ex-university colleagues and also friends, went to the Lisbon down town to do some shops, hang out and chill a little together.
Well, this what I've been up to since my last post. Hope you guys are having a good time as well.
with love,
Tommy
