I like to think I am a very down to earth kinda person. My idea of luxury seems to be very different to most people’s. I am an incurable romantic. I am incredibly touched by little things. Things that most overlook. A warm hug, a gorgeous sunset, a caring gesture. Our world nowadays is soContinue reading “it’s the little things”

mitigating distance
The Pandemic kept us all away from our dear ones for far too long. I mean, it’s bad enough going through that living in the same country, let along when all your extended family members and friends are in different countries. But this is a new experience for me. I am meeting my best friendContinue reading “mitigating distance”
Ethiquette
You must have noticed by now, I do love a bit of neologism, making new words up whenever it fits. Today I’m gonna touch on the forsaken and underrated ethics topic. People don’t value it enough to blog about it anymore. I feel ethics still deserves its place in the world, now more than ever.Continue reading “Ethiquette”
on holiday mode
We’re still at the airport security queues. Just joking! We eventually got to the beach. After all unpacking ( I realized I actually brought so much clothes that I don’t expect to wear any twice for the two weeks), and much needed commute recharge, we head to the beach as priority. My beach days haveContinue reading “on holiday mode”
clustomer intimacy
For someone with the little recognized writing experience as I have, it is hard to find the right topic to write about. “Write about what you know well, write about what you enjoy” people and peers tell me. That’s easier said than done. I do read people really well, and I deal with many differentContinue reading “clustomer intimacy”
no more smileys please!
#rantalert (Just in case the heading was not clear enough). Nothing puts me off more in reading emails than the ones that have smileys on the subject. It’s just… No. They are fun and colourful in the body text. Don’t add them to your subject. It strikes me as a terribly desperate call for attention.Continue reading “no more smileys please!”
pastel de nata
If you have been to Portugal (and no, Portugal is not part of Spain), you know that the main reference baked good is this infamous custard tart. It’s a real unique treat. The fact that it comes in such a small size tricks us into believing it is not a so sinful one. I guessContinue reading “pastel de nata”
Shhhh… Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of Travelling?
Got a bit distracted with courses and all-things writing but the lockdown has not taken the best off of me yet. The days have noticeably become bigger. Bigger and sunnier. It’s still a bit chilly but it’s starting to look a lot like Spring. Finally we see the light! We can say we know toContinue reading “Shhhh… Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of Travelling?”
Fellow Freelancers, I Salute You
Time to Face The Music You decide to go freelance in an era where more and more people are looking to be one. Competition is deemed to be fierce. And the vision of our goal is like a dark endless tunnel. There seems to be no reaching it any time soon. It’s anything but easy.Continue reading “Fellow Freelancers, I Salute You”
When Remote Work Gets You Stuck
It’s all good and well when you are working remotely. Surely by the third lockdown we’ll be used to all this. But now, baby, it’s cold outside. We enjoy staying indoors, managing our own time AND actually getting things done, which I thought was going to be proven difficult. Working desks, comfort, regular breaks, everyoneContinue reading “When Remote Work Gets You Stuck”
