22 b-day

"Go Jo, it's your birthday, we're gonna party like it's your birthday!"
Foi mais ou menos assim que o meu irmão me desejou os parabéns, no domingo passado, dia 29, em que completei vinte e duas primaveras. E foi mesmo uma grande festa!

Surprise, surprise!

O jornalista da Sky News, Joe Mitchalczuk, aproveitou o facto de ter alguns privilégios para surpreender a sua mulher, Jenny, com um video de casamento super original em que contou com uma ajudinha de Zac Efron, Emma Stone, o elenco de The Other Woman, Andrew Garfield, Jamie Fox, o Sapo Cocas (Kermit the Frog), Miss Piggy, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Ty Burrell, Anne Hathaway, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kate Winslet e Hugh Jackman.

Isto sim é uma boa surpresa, não sei como a Jenny reagiu mas eu acho que caía para o lado!

Isto não é, de todo, o tipo de post pretendido do Leisurely Traipse blog. Mas, acho mesmo que este video merece ser partilhado!

London Sweet London

I was in London with my friends between the end of february and the beginning of march, from 27th to 6th.
This is a film about our trip where you can see, even in a short version, what's like to party with us!


We stayed at our friend Ines's in Stoke Newington wich is a small village next to the city centre, about half an hour long by bus and, in those six days we met London, as a city with all the touristic cliché points, some more secret spots and it's people, food and culture.

When we first arrived from the airport in Liverpool St, to catch the bus to Stoke Newington, we met a drunk men who started jumping around us, laughing and singing out loud "you are f*cking tourists, you are f*cking tourists..." (on repeat), it was a really awkward situation 'cause english people aren't usually so outgoing, but it was also very funny and it gave us the idea to create our official hashtag for this trip which is #wearefuckingtouristsinlondon, so if you want to see our instagram photos of london you just have to search for this hashtag!
Having an special hashtag for a certain event or trip is a very good idea because later, when you want to remember it, you don't need to scroll down infinite times, you just have to search for your hashtag, and you'll see not only your photos but also the ones that your friends shared under the same hashtag.

#HappyScoutsProject


Esta é uma versão da música Happy do Pharrell Williams, feita pelo meu grupo de escuteiros do CNE da Região de Lisboa durante a actividade S. Jorge (um encontro regional), no âmbito do projecto #HappyScoutsProject que pretende passar a mensagem que "Ser escuteiro é ser feliz" e dar a conhecer melhor este movimento! Espero que gostem!

This video was recorded on St. George's day, which is a big scouts meeting in Lisbon, Portugal.
This idea of #HappyScoutsProject came from our Rover Group from Mira-Sintra, Sintra in Lisbon with the proposal to show the world that Scouting is all about happiness.

Being a scout is all about being happy!!

Our trip is planed and we're ready to go!
I'm so excited to go to London. I really can't wait... but, the good part is that I don't have to! Our flight leaves today. 
So, goodbye, Lisbon. I'll see you in a week.

Happy Birthday, Sir!

"Dear Scouts,
If you have ever seen the play, Peter Pan you will remember how the pirate chief was always making his dying speech because he was afraid that possibly when the time came for him to die he might not have time to get it off his chest.
It is much the same with me, and so, although I am not at this moment dying, I shall be doing so one of these days and I want to send you a parting word of good-bye.
Remember, it is the last you will ever hear from me, so think it over.
I have had a most happy life and I want each one of you to have as happy a life too.
I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.
Happiness doesn't come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence.
One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy, so that you can be useful and so can enjoy life when you are a man.
Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and wonderful things God has made the world for you to enjoy.
Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one. But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people.
Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best.
'Be Prepared' in this way, to live happy and to die happy - stick to your Scout promise always -- even after you have ceased to be a boy -- and God help you to do it.

Your friend,
BADEN-POWELL"



Today's a very special day for scouts all over the world and it's all because of you.
So, happy birthday, Sir.! And thank you for all of this.

Fearless?

"I admit, I was afraid to love. Not just love, but to love you. For you were a stunning mystery. You carried things deep inside you that no one has yet to understand, and I, I was afraid to fail, like the others.
You were the ocean and I was just a boy who loved the waves but was completely terrified to swim.”

Girls Trip To London

Only 21 days left and I'm off to London. First trip of 2014! The first of many, I hope.
Time's running out and there are so many things to plan... Where to go? What to see? Decisions, decisions...
Thank god we've a friend living there to give us some tips! And, there are always some city guides to help us too... So, where should we start?
We'll spend a week there and we'll try to avoid the classic tourist tours and photos... well, not all of them, of course we'll go to the most visit places there but we'll do it our own way!
We will also go to some other place... we'll leave London for one day to go to somewhere near the sea... but, for now, let's keep it a surprise, shall we?

There's only one more thing I want to ask you, any tips for the not so touristy side of London?

Dear London, I'll see you three weeks from now. Can't wait!!

In love?


"Com o olhar perco o domínio, com o falar eu desbobino. Perco o domínio quando estás, não sei o que faço... embaraço, fico baço, fico mudo, fico escasso. Pouco claro das ideias, fico parvo sem espaço para pensar, perco o tom, perco o ritmo e o compasso.
O que é que sentes? Borboletas..."
