"We are a generation of idiots, smartphones and dumb people"
This video touched me in so many ways, it is difficult to me to find some to share with you. I am a victim, no, not a victim.. I am one of the idiots that spends its precious time on the computer, on the smartphone. One of the idiots that thinks that its easier to stay inside than have to dress up an go outside. A few minutes before watching this video, I looked out the window and thought "What a nice day outside. One day I want to live on a ground floor house so I can wake up, and just take a step out of my window to smell the nature , to hear the birds, to lay down on the grass". But I didn't even thought about getting up, dress and go outside to enjoy the birds and the nature right now.
It is true , nowadays it is impossible to disconnect the online world. Especially for me, studying Engineering, and I love technology. Right know I needed to be programming and how can I do it without a computer?
What I got from this video is the time I am wasting scrolling down Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The time I waste watching a Youtube video about doing some kind of makeup I am not gonna even try myself or watching some girls closet when I could be chatting with my friends and sharing those kind of things with them. The girl friends of course! Why do I have four unfinished books for months when a few years ago I would just finish the four of them in one month? What is the internet teaching me?
I am not using it properly. I need to go outside. I need to take a break from this world of procrastination and live real life. I just don't know if I can. Because I am one of the dumb people from the title of this post.
It was better when it wasn't all condensed in one little thing we call smartphone. When we needed a camera to take pictures, a computer to go to the internet.
I know my writting is really bad, but those were the thoughts I could get out of my head and I really wanted to share them with you. Now I am going to program for some project , that's impossible to postpone any longer. But once I am done with it , I am going outside. Oh yes I am!
Thank you Gary Turk for this video.
Iceland Water Park
On Easter day I went to this WaterPark. It was the perfect vacations finale! We enjoyed a perfect day with no queue on the slides and had a lot of fun! I loved it! :D
No dia de Páscoa fomos a um aquaparque. Foi o final de férias perfeito! Aproveitamos um dia de sol perfeito sem filas e divertimo-nos bastante! Fiquei bastante impressionada com o facto de não haver filas num parque tão grande e tão fixe! Foi espectacular! :D

Ferry Boat Experience
On Tuesday I went on a ferryboat trip to see the famous Atlantis The Palm Dubai. We took off , was still afternoon and came back at the sunset. Another experience to remember.
Na terça-feira fomos dar uma voltinha no ferryboat para ver o famoso Atlantis The Palm Dubai. quando saímos era ainda de dia e voltámos com o pôr-do-sol. Mais uma experiência a recordar.
Beauty Salon Experience
Hello everyone! So, the 5th day was my Beauty Salon experience. In Dubai you can find these salons everywhere but, I was given the opportunity to try twelve treatments by these wonderful friends I met there! I made two appointments for all treatments, one on monday and the another one on friday. On monday I did, as said on the brochure:
- Legs, Underarms and Bikini Waxing - Did you knew in Dubai people use to do hands, arms and even back and stomach waxing? That was really weird for me! Going on, the girl who did this was great and really kind to me! She was fast and almost painless. Even for me, really, I am like a little girl on this.
- Upperlip Threading - First time I did it. Threading of course, otherwise I would be a moustache girl ! Ahah! I thought it would hurt but it was really efficient, fast and painless!
- Face Cleanup - I really was needing to do one of those! It was great!
- Deep Conditioning with neck, shoulder massage and hair wash - Loved it! Well, just except for my weird dried bangs but it was my mistake for not telling how I wanted them.
Moving on to friday:
- Body Scrub - I felt like a Minion over there! It was really funny!
- Body Massage - First time on this also! Soooo good! Almost felt asleep over there!
- Spa Manicure and Pedicure - So nice and simple, like I like it! It was also the first time I tried an Essie nailpolish. I was wanting to try one of those for so long...
- Hair Wash and Blow Dry - Just in time for a special dinner...
Oh ! Just to mention, the last three items were made at the same time! I felt like a princess!
Final thoughts? If , for some reason, I lived in Dubai, this would be my salon for sure! And I really want to thank Jackie, Rubi, Fátima and everyone else I don't remeber the name (sorry!) for making me feel like a princess by doing such a great work! I really appreciate everything you did! And next time I will try the Moroccan Bath, for sure!
Olá a todos! Segunda e Sexta-feira foram os dias em que me entreguei às mãos das meninas do The Red Lounge para experimentar vários tratamentos de beleza. Posso dizer que adorei o atendimento e senti-me uma princesa lá! Experimentei pela primeira vez a maioria das coisas que fiz como a esfoliação e massagem corporal, a limpeza facial e a depilação do buço com linha. Só tenho coisas boas a apontar daqui! Até a depilação a linha não doeu praticamente nada e foi mesmo rápido! Uma pequena curiosidade, sabiam que no Dubai as mulheres quando dizem depilação completa referem-se mesmo a depilação completa? É que elas depilam braços, costas, barriga e mãos até! Nem quis experimentar, porque além desses pêlos não incomodarem, ia doer pra caraças ! Pronto, mais uma coisa para a vossa cultura geral.
A Thankful High-Five!

De volta à rotina...
Before everything I apologize for my publications delay. I warned you on my "about me" page ! Once it's been a while , it doesn't make sense to publish my last days of vacations as one day per post. So, I will focus on certain experiencies and share what was the most important for me. To highlight remains my shopping day at The Dubai Mall, the great attendance I had on The Red Lounge, a beauty salon, thanks to some wonderful ladies, the ferry boat ride to Atlantis and the day at Iceland, an aquapark. My desk is already full of post-its so, get ready for this!
Antes de mais peço imensas desculpas pelo atraso nas publicações. Eu bem avisei no meu perfil que não era de confiança.. Como já passou algum tempo não faz sentido publicar o resto das minhas férias como post individual para cada dia. Vou por isso focar-me em certas experiências e partilhar o que, para mim, foi mais importante. De destacar fica o meu dia no The Dubai Mall, o excelente atendimento que tive num salão de beleza, The Red Lounge, por causa de uma meninas maravilhosas, o passeio de ferry para ver a Atlantis e o dia no Aquaparque. Os post-its já enchem a minha secretária por isso preparem-se!
High-Five!
Ângela.
