Graduation Day! - through Hell and Fire

I finally have my Graduation Day pictures!

*on stage recieving the Diploma*

*my tiny self amongst fellow friends and classmates*

this was a day to remember.

I know that for some this is no big deal, but there's times you just have to say:
"you know what? you made a great effort, finnacially, personally, and you came out golden baby!"

that's my feeling.

these past 3 years were amazing.
I made friends for life, and promises of keeping in touch and visiting each other in each ones country!
I wore my Traje as an uniform of battle and I had the academic experience.
I met the love of my life, and my plans of moving to England alone...
... transformed beautifully into woody Norway with the metalhead of my dreams.

after so many years of pure hell in my life, a traumatic childhood, hellish teenage years... all which was robbed from me.

I crawled through pain and shattered dreams, with a strange force inside of me that will not let me give up.
I don't know what forces keep me going but...
I survived.
and now, I can peacefully look at my present life and say:

I've never been happier.

I feel hopeful to say... the hard part's over.

xoxoxoxo

the Behemoth is Coming...!

hello my sexy readers!
all of you who are following me and even the many shy ones!

it's been crazy these last 2 months. I'm almost done with my college stuff (and thank Odin for that!!) and I've been studying like crazy for tests, papers, and the most Behemoth of my classes:

the dreaded English Linguistics.

*going to a VIP session of the new movie Godzilla*

the test that will close my fate is this week. but I really missed writting here.
I can't believe that 3 years of my life are about to be concluded...!
I had so many good laughs and happy moments, and yet terrible disapointments and sadness.
but as much as I kick and squirm about it, in the end I know life is just like that, and I'm living it.

and good grief, have I been living it.

I still have a video from my birthday party with my sweetest friends that I need to post on my Youtube and on here, and of course my...
Graduation Day!

I konw it's kinda weird, but in Portugal we have Graduation Day a couple weeks before we actually finish the academic year.
but I guess by this time you kinda already know if you're gonna pass and finish.

I have a 99,9% chance of doing so.

oh yeah, you may notice my rather pretty new hair!
yes, I was so fed up with the 2 YEARS of my life going slowly from jet black to nordic/platinum blonde that I needed to do something different!
so yeah, now I have a very pale light blonde on top and the rest of the hair is Stargazer's Violet.

more to come!

happy Name day! Part 1

this April I turned 26, and good grief I feel old!

me and Skav went out to dinner with my parents and we had an absolute blast!
I adore to eat at this restaurant, it's called Fondue and it carries many exotic meats that you usually don't see for sale anywhere.

*Cheers!*

now, don't go thinking that I'm eating bald eagle or something over here, this restaurant just sells meat that is more usual in other countries, for instance:
I love to eat crocodile. you know who else eats that meat on a more daily basis? certain states in America - in the South - eat this lovely meat deep fried or roasted.
or Zebra, another meat that may be difficult to some people to "swallow" - no disrespect intended - is getting more and more recognizable by being a healty meat, much like venison.


people just get weirded out because they forget that what they think is the norm - meaning, eating cows, chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs - is only the "norm" because that's what they grew up used to.

if you lived in the Bayou you would eat loads of crocodile and frog legs.
if you are a Norwegian, chances are you love to eat reindeer meat.
if you live in the center zone of my country then you love to eat boiled snails.

it just pisses me off when people act all high and mighty and don't even bother to check their facts.
don't like it, don't eat it, just don't bother me then.

*my birthday cake - bouquet!*

thanks mom and dad, I loved this day.

Part 2 is for the friends, so I'll see ya then!

ANICOMICS lisbon 2014 - happy days

hello there!

me and a couple of friends attended the Anicomics this year, and good golly it was awesome!
here is the site, for more info:

http://www.anicomics-lisboa.net/

let's get right into it yes?
so, the adventurers for this day were:

*Jonnhy - a sweet boy from our college - me and Skav*

we arrived there mid-day, with enough time to appreciate most of the activities.
there was also activities during the morning, but hey... I need my "beauty" sleep.

I dove right into taking pictures with people that I thought had some of the best costumes.
I feel it's so much fun to get to know other people just by talking about their outfit or even their little store!

*view from the inside to the street*

the Cosplayers:


this guy was pretty cool, with a real goat skull and everything.
of course me and Skav's metal senses were tingling... this guy is a metalhead for sure!


oh mee gosh, this Furry!
I loved it to death, it made the most cute squeeking sounds.



I can only say that she was Brave enough to go out in the sun and heat with that huge wig, I tell you that much...

*super cute lolita*


this shirt was actually bought on one of the little stores inside, I loved it so much I had to try it on immediately! to know more about the store:


I just love how these cosplayers were so open to taking pictures (sure, if they spend loads of time working on their outfits, they want people to see it and take photos) I know that in this situation everyone wins, but after an entire day of people asking them pictures, they all just seemed to be cool with it.


a couple friend of ours had their little store of works "Pixelsior" made with beads inside the Anicomics, and I'm happy to say that they had many sales during those 2 days.
it was their first time having a live sale, but they made their store proud!
if you'd like to know more about their store:


and because it seemed to be a day for firsts...
this was Jonnhy's first Ramen ever!


Jonnhy is one of those people who lives on the safe side of the tracks, he's a straight A student, very well mannered, and calm, with mild adventures in his life.

but when he's with me, that goes out the window.
(I'll drag him as far as he lets me!)


he's such a good kid, me and Skav really like him, and we're happy that we can push him to live his life with a bit of more spice - as much as he feels comfortable - than he would normally do.

*this one is for you friend*

Ramen may not be a big push where you come from, but little steps makes progress!
after we had our noodle talk, we went inside to see more activities.



I used to make comic strips like this.
it would usually take up to 8 hours to complete an A2 sheet, and without inking it.
if I end up really studying Tattoing in Norway, then all those years drawing until my fingers bled will have count for something.


thumbelina!
oh yes, I was so happy to see her... I tried to see the cosplay show live, but there was so many people crowding the theater that I could only watch her song on one of the TV's they had around the place.
I was so super happy to see another Don Bluth fan!


and Skav made a new friend from a pirate metal band, Jolly Roger, it seems cool.
it's a another outing I'm sure.


I bought a slave bracelet from this shop and they were super sweet, they even altered the bracelet so it would fit my skinny wrist. 

all and all, it was a day to remember.
I loved it.

xoxo
