Olá! Bem-vindos, meus caros amigos e leitores! Esqueci-me completamente que estamos no mês de Outubro! Sabem o que isso significa? Não? Como assim? É o aniversário do blog!!! Como foi possível esquecer-me deste pormenor desta importância, que objectivamente, não é um pormenor, mas um pormaior!
Hello! Welcome, my dear friends and readers! I completely forgot that it's October! Do you know what that means? No? How come? It's the blog's anniversary!!! How could I have forgotten such an important detail, which, objectively speaking, is not a detail, but a major event!
My dear friends, the blog is now 13 years old! In Portugal, 13 is considered an unlucky number, but it is also a lucky number, depending on your perspective! In gambling, 13 is an unlucky number, but in Catholicism, 13 was the day chosen by Our Lady to descend from heaven and come to Earth, more specifically to Fátima, Portugal. Therefore, for me, 13 is a lucky number!

Olá! Bem-vindos, a mais um fabuloso post dos Looks da Semana! Eu sei que este post é muito desejado por vocês, mas a semana passada foi completamente impossível e esta semana foi por um triz que não conseguia também! Mas o Universo conspirou a meu favor, os astros alinharam-se e as fotos foram conseguidas! Ufa! Esta semana foi uma correria, vai para aqui, vai para ali, faz isto e aquilo e mais aqueloutro! Não têm semanas assim? Começam numa segunda feira aborrecidos e quando acordam já é sexta-feira, não sabem como! Uma vida a correr é como nós vivemos! Mas correriamos à parte, eu adorei os looks que fotografei, o resultado final é inspirador e diversificado! Podem conferir através das fotos! Inspirem-se!
Hello! Welcome to another fabulous post of Looks of the Week! I know you've been eagerly awaiting this post, but last week was completely impossible and this week I almost didn't make it either! But the universe conspired in my favour, the stars aligned and the photos were taken! Phew! This week was a rush, going here, going there, doing this and that and the other thing! Don't you have weeks like that? You start on a boring Monday and when you wake up it's already Friday, you don't know how! A life on the run is how we live! But running aside, I loved the looks I photographed, the end result is inspiring and diverse! Check out the photos! Be inspired!

Quem se lembra deste bonito conjunto? É maravilhoso e os anos só lhe dão maior valor! Digamos que é como o vinho do Porto, quantos mais anos tem, mais se aprecia! Para além de adorar a cor, o corte, e o tecido, é de uma marca que já não existe, logo é um conjunto de colecção! Valioso para mim!
Who remembers this beautiful set? It's wonderful, and the years only make it more valuable! Let's say it's like port wine: the older it gets, the more you appreciate it! Not only do I love the colour, the cut and the fabric, but it's from a brand that no longer exists, so it's a collector's item! Very valuable to me!

Qual o vosso look favorito? Contem-me tudo nos comentários, estou curiosa para saber!!
Olá! Bem-vindos, meus caros amigos e leitores! Há muito tempo que quero dedicar um post à história de um grande português: Aristides de Sousa Mendes, para isso precisava de ir visitar a sua Casa Museu, em Carregal do Sal (Portugal). Mas quem foi esta personalidade tão distinta, perguntam vocês?
Hello! Welcome, my dear friends and readers! For a long time, I have wanted to dedicate a post to the story of a great Portuguese man: Aristides de Sousa Mendes. To do so, I needed to visit his House Museum in Carregal do Sal (Portugal). But who was this distinguished figure, you may ask? 
Aristides S. Mendes was a Portuguese diplomat. He was Portugal's consul in Bordeaux at the time France was invaded by the Germans during World War II. Contrary to the orders of the then Portuguese dictator, Aristides issued around 30,000 visas to Jewish refugees, allowing them to escape the horror of the Holocaust via Portugal and flee to the United States.
This act of humanity saved 30,000 lives, but this gesture of great altruism and self-sacrifice did not earn him the glory and honour that only great heroes deserve. The Portuguese dictator consigned him and his family to oblivion and poverty. He died poor and ostracised, all for daring to defy the dictator's orders. Aristides only did what his heart and conscience told him to do! He chose to be for life!
His house was in ruins, but it was rebuilt and Aristides' memory was restored, with him being considered a national hero, posthumously. The work was funded by the American grandchildren of the Jews that Aristides saved. This post was supposed to have been photographed at his House Museum, but I admit that, not because of Aristides, but because of the recent actions of the Jewish people, I refused to make that visit, perhaps at another time, when peace is consolidated between Jews and Palestinians.
Life presents us with many challenges, some of which define our entire lives, changing the path we had envisioned for ourselves. But if this sacrifice was made out of love for others and for what we believe is right in our conscience, then it is worth taking that risk, even if the price was very high. History will take care of justice!
Como banda sonora para este post, escolhi a canção de The Cranberries, "Zombie". Alerto para o facto de o video ser violento, contem imagens de várias guerras, mas dá maior ênfase a imagens do filme a Lista de Schindler. Filme este que conta a história de um homem que salvou milhares de judeus da morte, tal como Aristides Sousa Mendes. Uma reflexão sobre as principais vítimas da guerra! E, de como a vida de Aristides também merecia um filme!
As the soundtrack for this post, I chose the song ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries. Please be aware that the video is violent and contains images from various wars, but it focuses mainly on images from the film Schindler's List. This film tells the story of a man who saved thousands of Jews from death, just like Aristides Sousa Mendes. A reflection on the main victims of war! And how Aristides' life also deserved a film!

Pergunto-me como foi possível que tenha acontecido de novo, ironicamente com o povo que tem a memória do genocídio no seu ADN! Rezo para que a paz seja duradoura!
I wonder how it was possible for this to happen again, ironically to a people who carry the memory of genocide in their DNA! I pray that peace will be lasting!
Olá! Bem-vindos, meus caros amigos e leitores! Como já devem ter percebido, hoje não há looks da Semana! Oh! Eu sei que vocês adoram, mas esta semana foi-me completamente impossível! Porquê? Por várias razões, que eu passo já a explicar!
Hello! Welcome, my dear friends and readers! As you may have noticed, there are no outfits of the week today! Oh! I know you love them, but this week it was completely impossible for me! Why? For several reasons, which I will explain now!
I don't know if you've noticed, but the blog has been getting a lot of views, with some days seeing over 150,000 hits. The curious thing is that these visits are mainly for posts from 2018 and not for the most recent posts. I won't deny that I would like to reach 2 million hits; that's actually the blog's goal for this year. There are about two and a half months left until the end of the year. Do you think I'll make it?
I wish you a happy weekend!
Olá! Bem-vindos, meus caros amigos e leitores! Não sei se sabem, mas sou uma pessoa interessada pelas questões levantadas pela Física Quântica. Dizem, os estudiosos, que é uma bizarria as descobertas que têm sido feitas. Para quem não sabe, a Física Quântica representa o estudo do mundo muito pequeno de que é formada a matéria, isto grosso modo! Não sou uma entendida, apenas uma curiosa! Já vos falei aqui no entrelaçamento quântico e, o que ele me inspira!
Hello! Welcome, my dear friends and readers! I don't know if you know, but I am interested in the questions raised by quantum physics. Scholars say that the discoveries that have been made are bizarre. For those who don't know, quantum physics is the study of the very small world that makes up matter, roughly speaking! I'm not an expert, just curious! I've already talked to you here about quantum entanglement and what it inspires in me!
In this post, I want to tell you about another experiment that was conducted in this world of the very, very, very small — and you can add many more words "very" to that phrase to describe this world of tiny particles, the subatomic world, such as atoms and photons. I promise this conversation will be interesting!
Now, in one of these experiments, scientists came to the bizarre conclusion that a certain event in the present can influence the past! Strange, isn't it? It would make more sense, if logic can have any meaning in this tiny world, for the present to influence the future. Just like in the film Back to the Future.
Scientists have called this phenomenon quantum retrocausality. It is a matter of confirming that the state of a particle in the present can influence the state of the particle in the past, as if the past were alive. In short, the present seems to influence the particle's past, calling into question what we know as the cause-and-effect phenomenon, which takes us into the future. All this raises questions regarding the time variable!. Strange, bizarre, paradoxical! But let me give you an example!
This phenomenon can be explained in a post on my blog, which recounts an episode from my life and my struggle. You can read the post here. It is about an event in the present that changed the past of a university academy. Of course, this is fiction, but it is nonetheless an exceptional event. When I set fire to my academic ribbons at the Porta Férrea (Iron Gate) of the University of Coimbra. Imagine that this event in the present changed the past of the academy. How? In the past, a student party began to be held, which came to be called, nothing more, nothing less, than the Ribbon Burning Party, all because I burned them in the present! Brilliant! I have just proven another Quantum Theory! And the woman pictured on the pavement at Porta Férrea (Iron Gate) is me!!!
Tome lá, Professor Carlos Fiolhais, que eu sei mais que o senhor Lol A festa da Queima das Fitas é para homenagear a noite memorável da minha luta!
Here you go, Professor Carlos Fiolhais, I know more than you do, Lol. The Ribbon Burning Party is to honour the memorable night of my fight!

É claro que esta banda sonora representa o amor por uma academia. Adéle a cantar "Set Fire to the Rain" ( Lançar o fogo à chuva). E aqui está mais um exemplo de retrocausalidade quântica com esta música Lol!
Of course, this soundtrack represents love for a university academy. Adéle singing ‘Set Fire to the Rain’ . And here's another example of quantum retrocausality with this song Lol!
