Wolverine

  It's not new that I like animations...

  I love anime and I love superheros, magic, mythology...

  Yesterday I went to see the new Wolverine movie and I loved it.

  Wolverine is my favourite character from the marvel stories and Hugh Jackman is the perfect actor to performe it.

Money

  There are people that think that you can pay a favor with money and that's it...

  When I do something as a favor, I don't expect to be payed... but I like to receive a thank you, at least.

  But then, someone come with money, no thank attached and probably thinks that he's the best...

I'm looking for places that I would like to visit

  I'm looking for places that I would like to visit and that I can in just three days (and that I can book for a very good price) because I really need to be out of the country.

  There are people that spend their money on clothes, jewellery, games, concerts... For me, as you already know, it's books and travelling (oh, and eat well).

  Places on the list that I think I can visit in three days and that I hope I can afford:

• Prague
• Florence
• Barcelona
• Edinburgh

Gatherings

  Why is it that when there's a gathering (family, friends...) there's always someone that only complains - on the date, on the place, on... whatever?

  And why isn't that person the one that offers to organise it so that the next time everything suits him?

Things that I don't understand

  It's normal to think that what I consider "disgusting" food it's tasty for others and the food I like it's horrible for others.

  What I can't understand is this - why people eat "weird" parts of animals just because there's popular believe that that helps their health and why they kill endangered species and, most of the times, get way with that without punishment (or, worst than that, their country doesn't even have laws against it).

Edit:  This can be used to another trend in China - small aquatic animals in sealed plastic bags sold as good luck charms. Each bag, filled with oxygen and nutritional liquid, can keep the animal it holds alive for two months and is sold for 10 RMB- that's the vendors story but they don't live so much... and for what, excuse me?

  So, this is something I cheer on: In India, this week, two guys were caught with more than ten thousand turtles (most of them endangered species). Those turtles, that were being transported to China, were apprehended.

Flowers

  I like flowers but I'm not fan of bouquets... those flowers will die in a few days and it's just sad...

  And I'm not the right person to take care of potted flowers... too much water, too much light... or few of those and they die...

  But whenever I see these, I love it - hydrangea; iris and begonia:

Book

  One of my favourite writers has a new book and, as always, is amazing.

    

  Juliet Marillier's Flame of Sevenwaters it's Sevenwaters sixth book and continues the story the family that rules Sevenwaters.

And another "complain"

  People usually don't like intelligent, sensitive, calm and polite persons... and if you are more than one things of the list above, forget it...

  People will be so uncomfortable around you that they will hurt you just because...

Food

  The other day my mom gave a dinner to some friends and asked me to make the dish before the main course. I told her that I would make something simple and that everyone would like - some cheese, tuna dip, olives... She said no. She wanted something really different and tasty.

I made something like this, spinach roll with smoked salmon:

  The result? It's was too much for the guests... I should have insisted on the cheese and olives...

Sensitive

  I always say that I'm a sensitive person... and people laugh...
  I talk loud and I'm a bit rash but I'm very sensitive - I take things personally and seriously and even my body is sensitive...
  The other day I went to grab some peaches at work and got a bad reaction to them. Yesterday I was bitten by bugs and swollen...

Car

  My car needed to be checked up and let's say that money flies when we do that...

  Now it needs to be clean...

FIA

  I also visited FIA (it's and crafts fair).

  This time I just bought something for my dad. I'm sorry that I didn't take something from the artisan I like the most there but I have no place to put his stuff.

Days off

  My weekend off was gone.

  Yesterday I went to try something really nice.

  It's really hot here so I decided to go to Sintra because it's a cooler place. Because I didn't wanted to walk and walk, I went to try the little train that can take us to the beach. It's a very fresh ride of fifty minutes and I loved it.
