Hello! Welcome to another fabulous “Looks of the Week” post! Over the past week, I don’t have anything important to report, except for yet more stories of corruption and abuse of power by yet another government official—the usual fare, nothing that isn’t already the norm in Portuguese political life! In fact, the Portuguese swallow it all and don’t see a thing—except for the eclipse, which is just a distraction from what’s really going on! I can’t help but share with you that the Portuguese Republic is a banana republic—and one full of bananas! But let’s leave all these issues for later. With that said, I’d like to present 5 wonderful looks that my readers are sure to love! See you soon! Kisses!!!
Olá! Bem-vindos a mais um fabuloso post dos Looks da Semana! Esta é a última semana de férias do blog, na próxima retomo com as publicações normais e com temas muito interessantes, mas como terei oportunidade de desenvolver temas complexos nesses posts, vão ficar apenas com 5 inspirações de moda, neste post!

Olá! Bem-vindos a mais um fabuloso post dos Looks da Semana! Durante esta semana que passou, não tenho nada de importante a reportar, a não ser mais umas histórias de corrupção, abuso de poder de mais um membro do governo, o prato do dia, nada que já não esteja normalizado na vida política portuguesa! De facto os portugueses engolem tudo e não enxergam nada, a não ser o eclipse como manobra de distracção para o que se está a passar! Não deixo de partilhar convosco que a republica portuguesa é uma republica das bananas e de bananas! Mas deixemos todos estes assuntos para mais tarde, assim sendo, apresento-vos 5 looks maravilhosos que fazem as delícias dos meus leitores! Até jááá! Beijinhos!!!

At the request of many families, and since a total solar eclipse is visible in Portugal today, here’s a special post!
This song questions whether God exists on Earth, and according to the lyrics, that possibility points to any one of us! And I ask you: do you think you could be that person—God?
I ask you: do you think that your actions—which make up the sum total of your life—lead to a mathematical result that is sacred? Yes, because the great Mathematician of the Universe is God! Do you think your life is lived in accordance with what God has shown us? If your answer is no—that is, if your actions aren’t carried out with the good of others and the common good in mind—then here’s another question, which is also the question Joan Osborne asks: if you were standing before an ordinary person and that person were God, what would you ask Him/Her? And remember, you can only ask one question!
Think about it for a moment: God is so wonderful and good, according to Joan, that He is capable of transforming Himself into a woman in distress or an old man in need of help, just to test our character. But assuming God were one of us, what would He be like? How do you imagine Him? As a man or a woman? What a controversial question! For me, God isn’t quite that wonderful and good, in the sense that we call Him Father—because in my life I haven’t felt that yet; I’ve only felt that He was more of a stepfather or even a tormentor! I’m not saying this lightly; I’m actually choosing my words very carefully. In the lessons He teaches me, I feel Him more like a teacher from the time of our dictatorship. You learn through violence; it’s the body that pays the price! That’s why I consider myself in God’s debt—let’s just say we have some accounts to settle!
Na minha opinião, não se nasce Deus, é preciso fazer um caminho, um caminho duro, que nos pode conduzir muitas vezes ao limite das nossas capacidades, à loucura, pois o "acordar" não é para todos, exige uma transformação que só o sofrimento permite, uma robustez de carácter e uma defesa das nossas convicções que vai muito para além das nossas forças. Somos testados e tentados das mais diversas formas, cruéis até, suportamos humilhações que mais ninguém suportaria. E para haver esse "acordar" a nossa vida, o que nos acontece, é sempre de uma forma muito mais intensa que no comum dos mortais, para que dessa forma - muitas vezes injusta e cruel - possamos aprender a ler o mundo, a compreender porque se morre e como se morre, porque se tem certas doenças e não outras. É isso, aprende-se a LER a vida. Eu diria que é um tesouro que nos coloca nas mãos, mas ao mesmo tempo uma maldição que nos leva ao isolamento e solidão! E, são anos e anos disto, não são 40 dias! Quanto à sua fisionomia, na minha opinião, acho que ele tem um traço fisinómico distinto, mas não vou dizer qual, estudassem! De resto seria uma pessoa normal que não se destacaria das demais pessoas. Seria talvez a menos provável!
In my opinion, one is not born a god; one must forge a path—a difficult path—that can often push us to the limits of our abilities, even to the brink of madness, for “awakening” is not for everyone. It demands a transformation that only suffering can bring about, a strength of character, and a defense of our convictions that goes far beyond our own strength. We are tested and tempted in the most diverse ways, even cruel ones; we endure humiliations that no one else could bear. And for this “awakening” to occur, our lives—what happens to us—are always far more intense than those of ordinary mortals, so that through this—often unjust and cruel—process we may learn to read the world, to understand why people die and how they die, why they suffer from certain illnesses and not others. That’s it—you learn to READ life. I’d say it’s a treasure placed in our hands, but at the same time a curse that leads us to isolation and loneliness! And it’s years and years of this—not just 40 days! As for his appearance, in my opinion, I think he has a distinctive physical feature, but I won’t say which one—you’ll have to study! Otherwise, he would be a normal person who wouldn’t stand out from the crowd. He would perhaps be the least likely!
One thing is certain: I am not God, and even if I had that opportunity, I would never accept it! Why? The world is so ungovernable—filled with so much evil, hatred, and barbarism—that I would never wish such a thing upon myself! Perhaps that is why so many cruel wars and extreme weather events are happening—perhaps God is calling us to our senses, urging us to stop and think about what kind of world we want to leave for future generations! A just and compassionate world, or a world of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! As long as selfishness persists, we will be battered by more storms! And I'm not just talking about the weather!
Eu vou ser o mais sincera possível, eu não acho que Deus seja tão maravilhoso e bom como a Joan canta e como já o disse. Eu estou em "guerra" com Ele há muitos anos, porque ele tem uma missão para mim que eu não aceito, portanto tenho sofrido muito, mas lá está, estou a defender as minhas convicções até ao limite das minhas forças e nada me fará mudar de ideias. Talvez esteja a ser tentada, que estou, mas a minha convicção é forte e estou disposta a morrer para a defender. Podem achar que estou louca, mas não, sei muito bem o que Ele quer de mim e eu sei muito bem o que não quero para mim. Estou em guerra com dois mundos, o terreno e o divino, mas ninguém compreende o que digo, pois racionalmente esta conversa não faz sentido, eu sei, também já pensei assim, até Deus me ter provado a sua existência com inúmeras situações impossíveis - ditas milagres - de acontecer. Voltando ao ínicio, Deus tem sido injusto comigo e duro. Muito duro. Não Lhe invejo a sua posição, mas nunca a desejaria, pois governar este mundo é governar uma nogeira que me dá vómitos, não sei como Ele aguenta! Talvez se queira reformar!
I’m going to be as honest as possible: I don’t think God is as wonderful and good as Joan sings about and as I’ve said before. I’ve been at “war” with Him for many years, because He has a mission for me that I don’t accept, so I’ve suffered a lot, but there you have it—I’m defending my convictions to the very limits of my strength, and nothing will make me change my mind. Maybe I’m being tempted—and I am—but my conviction is strong, and I’m willing to die to defend it. You might think I’m crazy, but no, I know very well what He wants from me, and I know very well what I don’t want for myself. I am at war with two worlds, the earthly and the divine, but no one understands what I say, for rationally this conversation makes no sense; I know, I used to think that way too, until God proved His existence to me through countless situations that were impossible—so-called miracles—to happen. Going back to the beginning, God has been unfair to me and harsh. Very harsh. I don’t envy His position, but I would never want it, because ruling this world is like ruling a world that makes me want to vomit—I don’t know how He puts up with it! Maybe He wants to retire!
I’m not expecting any phone calls either, much less one from the Pope—I wouldn’t even answer his call. I have my reasons, and they’re very strong! I will never forget, much less forgive, what they did to me. No promise can erase what I’ve lived through and suffered. None. And besides, I have God’s promises—so why would I care about earthly promises! It would even make me laugh if it weren’t so tragic! But if I could ask God that question, I’d ask Him this:
- Who am I, after all?
And, feeling calm, I continue my journey by bus or on foot until I finally arrive home...

Olá! Bem-vindos a mais um fabuloso post dos Looks da Semana! Tenho pensado muito sobre um assunto ultimamente, trata-se da credibilidade de uma pessoa. Eu perdi a capacidade de confiar nas pessoas. O que hoje é azul, amanhã é verde e assim sucessivamente. Acho que isto é o pior que pode acontecer porque podem-me estar a mostrar uma grande verdade, que para mim, é só mais um teatro que hoje é verdade mas amanhã já é mentira, tanto se me dá! Já não colhe! Até porque este teatro de coincidências hoje tem um valor e amanhã já não vale nada! Tudo não passa de uma "casca de noz", ou tudo se resume a isso, seja verdade ou mentira! De uma coisa eu tenho a certeza, para o bem ou para o mal, não sei, eu não sou indiferente e alguma importância tenho de ter para mover tantas pessoas! Mas lá está o que hoje é verdade amanhã é mentira e portanto, eu dou-lhe a relevância que merece, isto é, tanto se me dá como se me deu! Esperar pela próxima peça de teatro e seguir em frente de cabeça levantada. Mas de uma coisa podem ter a certeza, são verdadeiros os 5 looks que tenho para a apresentar esta semana! Até jááá!!! Continuação de boas férias! Beijinhos!!!!
Hi! Welcome to another fabulous “Looks of the Week” post! I’ve been thinking a lot about one topic lately: a person’s credibility. I’ve lost the ability to trust people. What’s blue today is green tomorrow, and so on. I think this is the worst thing that can happen because they might be showing me a great truth that, to me, is just another charade—true today but a lie tomorrow—and I couldn’t care less! It doesn’t work on me anymore! Especially since this charade of coincidences has value today but is worthless tomorrow! It’s all just a “nut shell,” or it all boils down to that, whether it’s true or a lie! One thing I’m sure of—for better or for worse, I don’t know—is that I’m not indifferent, and I must have some importance to move so many people! But there you go: what’s true today is a lie tomorrow, so I give it the importance it deserves—that is, I couldn’t care less! I’ll wait for the next play and move forward with my head held high. But one thing you can be sure of: the 5 outfits I have to show you this week are real! See you soon!!! Have a great rest of your vacation! Kisses!!!

Olá! Bem-vindos a mais um fabuloso post dos Looks da Semana! Como sabem este é o último post do mês de Julho! Com o mês de Agosto vêm as férias, as viagens, os cruzeiros, só que não! Ninguém me apanha num cruzeiro, disso podem ter a certeza, bem mas isto foi só um aparte lol como ia a dizer, Agosto é o mês por excelência do relax. Como não há tempo para a leitura de blogs, porque a piscina está logo ali a chamar por nós, eu resolvi que o meu blog também vai de férias! Mas são umas férias especiais, não há o post de segunda-feira, que normalmente é um post mais elaborado e que ninguém tem pachorra para estar a ler! Mas, atenção, vai ter os posts que vocês mais gostam que são os posts dos Looks da Semana! Então, para concluir, no mês de Agosto o blog só vai ter publicações dos Looks da Semana! Depois, em Setembro, prometo voltar mais inspirada com novos temas e fotos elaboradas e, o blog retomará as suas publicações normais. Então até jááá!!! Nos vimos na próxima semana! Beijinhos!
Hi! Welcome to another fabulous “Looks of the Week” post! As you know, this is the last post of July! August brings vacations, trips, and cruises—but not for me! You’ll never catch me on a cruise, you can be sure of that. Anyway, that was just a little aside, lol. As I was saying, August is the ultimate month for relaxing. Since there’s no time to read blogs—because the pool is right there calling out to us—I’ve decided that my blog is going on vacation too! But it’s a special kind of vacation: there won’t be a Monday post, which is usually a more elaborate one that nobody has the patience to read! But, heads up—there will be the posts you like best: the “Looks of the Week” posts! So, to wrap it up, in August the blog will only feature “Looks of the Week” posts! Then, in September, I promise to come back more inspired with new themes and polished photos, and the blog will resume its normal schedule. See you soon!!! See you next week! Kisses!

To start this post, I have to tell you that my not-so-holy little hometown lost some of its population about 15 years ago. The young people left for the cities in search of better and more job opportunities. They also left because anyone from a village suffers from the stigma of being a villager—or of being from the sticks! As if that were derogatory! But anyway!
So, with no new homes being built, young people leaving, and a high mortality rate among the elderly, the houses were left to their own devices. Until, about three years ago, the situation turned around! Many young couples—and some not-so-young ones—began looking for homes here in my little corner of the world as if they’d discovered a diamond mine—well, not a mine, but perhaps a Midas touch!
That’s when a rush to buy and renovate homes began, while others were rented out. The population has grown; there’s more activity on the streets, more children in school, and local businesses have also benefited from this population increase! It seems they’ve found the Promised Land—well, not quite, but almost—I don’t know where these people are from, but I must tell you that they’re strange and have strange habits! The habits of spies, I’d say without a doubt!
As I was saying, they act like spies—they know everything about their neighbors, while we know nothing about them. I mean, I don’t know anything—I’m just speaking for myself! What’s certain is that this not-so-holy little town of mine, compared to Casablanca during the war, is a huge breeding ground for Asian wasps—ready to sting me with their venom!!!!
One question must be asked: Why has Santana—one of the poorest parishes in the municipality and also one of the farthest from the city—suddenly become a magnet for outsiders, who, unlike those who live here, easily find jobs? So many questions and so few answers—or perhaps I simply don’t want to provide them—but I know very well why my not-so-holy little town has become a star of the real estate market!
As the soundtrack for this post, I chose the band Placebo and their song “Surrounded by Spies,” whose lyrics seem to have been written by someone troubled by the persecution they’re facing. How original! I’d even say that I’m the one surrounded by spies—I don’t tell any lies, I’m just not mentally disturbed. I know full well what truth I’m defending: the impunity that runs rampant in the streets of this not-so-holy little town and the lies they want to impose. Let’s just say the church has been making major investments in Santana!
