Davantage - Isolation |
] |
Lately I've been surprisingly experiencing some (more) new changes in my lifestyle.
Professionally, I'm working for the same company, but now I'm the responsible for 7 agencies (and I'm the manager of the biggest one of them), so I am "the direct boss" of 9 persons: I have to control them, to divide the material and financial resources and I am the bridge between all of them and our Treasury , so yeah, it's indeed a big responsibility. I spend half of my working time visiting the agencies, so that's why I'm spending less time surfing the Internet during the day.
I have to assure that all the agencies are having good results and to control the profit and the evolution of all of them (and to manage any conflict that may take place). I'm happy because it shows that my bosses believe and trust me, and yes, it also improves my wage, which is also a nice accomplishment.
During my free time at home, I usually receive friends at least twice a week (for movie nights or just to chat for hours), and so I'm spending some quality time in my house. To make it more practical and enjoyable to live in, I've been changing the furniture and decor (it has been a revolution in there as I'm changing almost all the rooms), and I'm building a gym (I'm looking for a good rowing machine to add to my machinery) and building a dressing room for myself, as I don't have enough space inside my actual wardrobe to keep all my clothes tidy and neat. :/
Out of work, I've been doing some new activities, going to new places, meeting new people (and also straightening some old friendships), and flirting a lot (lol), finding new interesting hobbies and things I've never done before (for example like going to the middle of the hoods to listen to people playing bagpipes; or like last Saturday when I was invited to go planting some trees in Sintra forest... at midnight), so I can say I've been doing some weird but funny stuff lately. :)
So, I'm really enjoying the free time I currently have. But all those activities and my recently discovered sociability and ability to have fun and enjoy myself and others are making me wish to have more free time, so, when I come from my holidays (in April) I'll ask to work less days and I'll manage to get some free weekends (2 per month will be fine)... and I'm sure I'll get them, because a few days ago my boss told me that he has no clue about how I can handle working so much and with so much energy. :)
These next days will be peachy too. On Carnival I'll go to a 80's party (I think I'll dress up as a new brunette super-hero whose costume is still growing up in my head... which means that it will be disastrous. Lol), on the next weekend I'll go to Oporto where I'll see some movies in Fantasporto (an International Fantastic film Festival), and meet some friends. On Friday I'll go to a Gothic club, and on Saturday, I'm planning to go to an Industrial music festival there.
Next month, I'll be on holidays from the 12th to the 31st (I still have those days from last year), so you'll get rid of me... and yes, I'll spend almost all the time in Paris with my brother (the guy who, I now know, has someone that loves him ALMOST as much as I do), the man of my life. :)
So yes, these are the last news,...
PS - and it's just me or this music (Isolation by Davantage) is sexy as hell? God, it makes me feel so sexual... lol
:)

Yesterday night I had so much fun!!!
After watching a hilarious and charming pornographic movie from the 1920's, me and a friend (we both love to dance) decided to go to an event where we could learn how to dance some of the traditional portuguese and european songs (some in pairs, and others dancing in community) in a room enlightened by candles.
We spent all night (until 3 am) dancing to folk portuguese music, mazurkas, waltz, scottisch, polka, chappeloise, bourrées,...
It was my first time doing it, so me and my huge feet made a few victims, but I didn't have such a good laugh for ages!
I found some of the dances in youtube, so enjoy: :)

During my lunch time I went to a pharmacy in the middle of the street where I'm working today, because I started experiencing some flu symptoms (probably thanks to my damn night out!).
I bought the drugs, and some minutes later, the pharmacist appeared in my workplace with a cup of a fabulous reinvigorating tea. What a sweet sweet man!
Why aren't all of you like that? There are some worthy male specimens after all, wandering in this world... but do they all live their lives inside a white robe??? Hum...

| Bed sharing 'drains men's brains' |

davantage - Isolation |
] |
Sharing a bed with someone could temporarily reduce your brain power - at least if you are a man - Austrian scientists suggest.
When men spend the night with a bed mate their sleep is disturbed, whether they make love or not, and this impairs their mental ability the next day.
The lack of sleep also increases a man's stress hormone levels.
According to the New Scientist study, women who share a bed fare better because they sleep more deeply.
Professor Gerhard Kloesch and colleagues at the University of Vienna studied eight unmarried, childless couples in their 20s.
Each couple was asked to spend 10 nights sleeping together and 10 apart while the scientists assessed their rest patterns with questionnaires and wrist activity monitors. The next day the couples were asked to perform simple cognitive tests and had their stress hormone levels checked.
Although the men reported they had slept better with a partner, they fared worse in the tests, with their results suggesting they actually had more disturbed sleep.
Both sexes had a more disturbed night's sleep when they shared their bed, Professor Kloesch told a meeting of the Forum of European Neuroscience.
But women apparently managed to sleep more deeply when they did eventually drop off, since they claimed to be more refreshed than their sleep time suggested.
Their stress hormone levels and mental scores did not suffer to the same extent as the men. But the women still reported that they had the best sleep when they were alone in bed.
Bed sharing also affected dream recall. Women remembered more after sleeping alone and men recalled best after sex.
Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at the University of Surrey, said: "It's not surprising that people are disturbed by sleeping together.
"Historically, we have never been meant to sleep in the same bed as each other. It is a bizarre thing to do. "Sleep is the most selfish thing you can do and it's vital for good physical and mental health.
"Sharing the bed space with someone who is making noises and who you have to fight with for the duvet is not sensible.
"If you are happy sleeping together that's great, but if not there is no shame in separate beds."
He said there was a suggestion that women are pre-programmed to cope better with broken sleep. "A lot of life events that women have disturb sleep - bringing up children, the menopause and even the menstrual cycle," he explained.
But Dr Stanley added people did get used to sharing a bed. "If they have shared their bed with their partner for a long time they miss them and that will disturb sleep."
From BBC News Site, 20 July 2006
Oh my, what have I been doing???
Am I ruining Stoa's good night sleep??? (and no, I haven't found any study about human and dog bedsharing) :p

| Drug abuse causes personality disorders and cognitive disability |

Studies developed by the Beira Interior University (UBI) showed that habitual drug consumers suffered permanent personality change disorders that made them more irresponsible, irritated, impulsive, egocentric and prone to commit illicit acts, family violence acts and risk behavior.
In what concerns to the basic functions of the brain, like memory, attention and concentration, data shows a strong correlation between chronic drug abuse and the deterioration of intellectual cognitive ability.
According to the preliminary study results, it's clear that all the drugs (even the light ones as cannabis marijuana, acids, and MDMA among others) have a ominous effect on the brain and human mind.
The personality disorders can take place after 3 or 4 years of drug consumption in teenagers but it takes more time to be detected in adult people, with firm personality traits, that start using drugs during their adult life. In this study, chronic abuse is understood as a substance abuse occurring over a continuous period of 12 months.
The same results were previously detected in people with abusive alcohol ingestion behavior, being the premise to the development of the late study about drugs.
I've read it today (as it's something that interests me) but I assume I was a little bit disappointed with this. In my opinion this study is non-scientific as it had some major flaws that compromised it. It compared only 38 subjects (male and female), 19 of which were drug addicts. Is also considers LSD and MDMA as light drugs, and lacks some information about the procedures and the time it took place.
But anyway, this study is quite interesting as a motivation to the development of future ones that focus the same subject.

Ps: Today I would definitely kill for a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato (I know it's strange, but I dreamt I was drinking one, just before I woke up). :/
When I came to work, it was 1ºC in the street and despite I was wearing warm clothes and gloves, my hands were purple freezing cold. Even now, I almost don't feel them.
If the weather stays like this, I think I'll post a personal ad somewhere, looking for someone who's good at warming hands (and maybe he/she doesn´t mind sleeping on the carpet, on my bedroom floor)... hehehe... yes, I might be that lucky. :D

Assemblage 23 - Horizon |
] |
.
Once in a while I listen to someone telling me:
- “Stop it! It´s just a dog!”
Or:
-“But it’s too much money to spend with it! It’s just a dog.”
Those people don’t know the path it took,
the time spent or the costs that “just a dog” implies.
Many of my best moments were brought by “just a dog”.
I had many hours of my life, in which my only company was “just a dog”,
and I didn’t feel despised.
Many of my sorrows were healed by “just a dog”.
And in those dark days, the gentle touch of “just a dog”
brought me comfort and a reason to keep living.
If you are one of those persons that think that “it’s just a dog”,
You must surely understand expressions like “just a friend”,
“just a sunrise”, or “just a promise”.
“Just a dog” brought to my life the true essence of friendship,
trust, and pure and endless happiness.
“Just a dog” made compassion and patience flourish in me,
which made me a better person.
Because of “just a dog” I get up early, I take long walks
and I look to the future with more love in my eyes.
Because to me – and to people like me - it’s not only “just a dog”,
but the embodiment of all the dreams and hopes in the future,
the affectuous memories of the past,
and the pure happiness of the present moment.
“Just a dog” makes my best qualities emerge,
and dissolves all the thoughts and worries of my day.
I truly hope that someday some people understand that it’s not “just a dog”,
but it is what makes me more human and allows me not to be “just a woman”.
So, next time you’ll hear the sentence “it’s only a dog”,
Just smile to those people
Because they just don’t understand...

The Birthday Massacre - Walking With Strangers |
] |
Yesterday I was occupied until 1 p.m., and then I just decided to go for a walk in Lisbon (and to view some of my favourite buildings and stores in town).
I ended up crossing the city (as it's not that big).
Above is a map of Lisbon, and in orange is the path and the distance I've made.
I walked all evening and it made wonders for my psychological welfare (and physical too, as my legs had some long needed exercise and so did my arms, carrying out the two pairs of boots, books and clothes I bought during my wandering day).
And today I feel great. I guess I'll have to do it more often (if my laziness allows me to) as I used to do some years ago (before I became a Sitting Bitch)... :/
