Yalla Bye Bye Amedeea

So many emotions...
I thought i was gaining some yalla byebye emotions resistance until yesterday...

I didn’t cry… no need for that, we both know how much we care…

Instead of posting about my friendship with Ame, I ll post about the party, since I am not in the mood to talk about my feelings…

Atif and Sarah, the milky cow song.
Ryan is back… it was good to see this dude, I lived with him in the Penthouse on my first months in Egypt, he’s cool….
Me and Ryan
I met the ALL MIGHTY GOD DODY, THE DAD OF NOMADLIFE; THE CREATOR; ALA OF BLOGGERS; WE ARE ALL YOUR ENDLESS SERFS…..
and I am here to clean up his image... Dodi doesn’t drink..
after getting to know him through pictures in some nomads weblogs,
always carrying up some six pack, some alcoholic drink…. Blasphemy…. ( see Dodi!!)

Meeting people that I haven’t saw for so long it was nice, it was refreshing… missed some old faces though…

Seems that this weekend everyone is leaving:
Ame, going to Romania (Home)
Mada to Bahrein (again)
Miguel, to Mexico (coming back in the end of August)
Angela to Brazil (coming back in the end of July)
Nadia Salloum to Greece ( Home)
Simona to India (traineeship)
Valentina to Romania ( Home)
Nuno to Portugal (Home)
Ernesto to Portugal ( Home)
Mada, Ame and Me

Miguel and Me
Me, Mada and Angela

Went to take Ame to the airport, alter a couple of incidents on the way, getting there half an hour before the plane leave, but still, we are in Egypt, and here, life can be much more easier, just need to push, scream, cry and bossy around….
Leaving
Me and Ame, last picture in Cairo

Came back to the party, until dawn…

Gosh… I am almost there too…

New Chapter

Today I open a brand new chapter on my life.


It has been one year since I arrive Cairo, Egypt...
from an uncertain professional future; I made my way through and redesigned my life, faced new challenges, fought for my happiness on this country. Moreover, built the first steps for my future.

All the people that I have met though me a lot about me, about the world, about what is the life outside the pink wall of our palace.. therefore I have acquire a new knowledge of my surrounging, as well, as changed myself.

I left my internship, it was in Smart Village, at Xceed.... it just wasn’t for me....

embraced new challenge, working in Tourism has never crossed my mind, always saw myself in some technologic kind of work...

After 5 month I was promoted. Last week, after 7 months, my boss proposed me a new challenge… too soon to talk about it, however is THE CHALLENGE…
something that I always imagined me go for it, but not with 23 years old…

My professional life is going smoothly…
My personal life.. well.. could be better…

After saying goodbye of all my good friends, all trainees that accomplished their internship, or not, the ones that would be always kept in my heart for all the good values, good changes that inputted on me…. Ifigeneia, Kosmas, Agnieszka, Adriana, Jacek, Mada, and now, Ame will be leaving…
I wont be alone, since I also have made friends outside of AIESEC, however its rather painful to see the ones that I really love leaving…
I am happy for them, though… wish them the best….

Ame, Me and Ifi clubbing at Bliss


me, sharm el Sheikh

Changing topic... meeeeee
A few weeks ago, when the weather started to become quite worm, I decided that it was about time to leave the Princess look, the long and blondish hair, I went crazy and decided to change it almost radically. Went to the hairdresser and cut it.. since the hairdressers here are not freshly graduated from some hairstylist school in France, the job wasn’t exactly as I would like it to be, so, and since I am Portuguese, and we are desenrascados, meaning we have desenrascanco (check wikipedia), I grabbed a scissor and cut it of myself, home made stylish haicut.. well.. its cool.. trendy, funky… much better…. Moreover, and since I think that we can do always more, me and Ame though about changing colour.. cool… bought from the supermarket some Dip Honey color, and, home made hairstyle, voila… not exactly honey, but reddish… yani…. It was a change…. Fortunately, the colour faded with the sun further to my trip to Sharm el Sheikh, and now… well.. its an undistinguished brown blond reddish something…. Me, day after the change

2 days ago I twisted my ankle, slipped on the sidewalk and now I am at home, not waling, moving, and, preferably, not breathing as well… good on this is that I can stay home and doing what I do best…. Nothing.. ehehehe.. bad part of this… I have tones of work to do, and to advance, since I am going to Portugal in 2 weeks…

So, this to say that from now on, I ‘ll be posting more frequently than up to now…
