Today...

- Today, I lost a small part of myself.

- Today, I learned that some things in life abandon us and never come back.

- Today, I realized I'm never going to be the same person I was yesterday.

- Today, I saw how every action one takes has a consequence.

- Today, I accepted that in this life nothing lasts for ever.

- Today, I caught a glimpse of what 'falling to pieces' really means.

- Today, a part of me died.



-Today, I started to shed the dead skin cells I submitted to such a huge amount of sun rays over the 5 days I was in Portugal. I mean I don't think tanned is the best way to describe my state, I'd say a better description would be toasted :P

What? What were you guys thinking I was talking about? Surely you didn't think I was gonna get all deep and philosphical on you, did you? ;)

I had a great time in Portugal. I watched a lot of tennis. I'm not gonna bore with the details since I know probably most of you are not really interested in tennis, but I will say this: I took pictures with my two favorite players, I shared transportation with many others and I had VIP tickets which meant access to the sponsors' lounge (open bar included) and access to the press room (where we were actually allowed to ask questions). All in all a pretty good week of tennis, the only downside being that since I spent most of the day at the tourney's grounds I was left with very little time to actually visit Lisbon and go to the beach but that in turn only means I'll have to go back someday for the sightseeing :D

Farewell skin cells, you will be sorely missed and held in fond remembrance; godspeed.
