I have never had problems making friends…

My grandma (yes… the wise one…. ) always taught us about the importance of choosing well our friends: “tell me who you walk with, and I’ll tell you who you are” she’d always say. If you take it as a raw statement I am sure you would disagree as I would too…

Nuff said????

I’ve been so busy lately with press releases and reviews and going places and editing videos etc etc that I feel I haven’t really blogged the things I really wanted to say… Don’t take me wrong, I LOVE doing the UVHQ Reviews and have LOADS of fun doing them (in special the video ones) but sometimes I can’t stop myself feeling like that’s all I blog about…

Kinda feels like there’s something missing when I don’t talk for too long about Lil One’s new movement range (yeah… he’s on the move… believe me when I say that… I actually found him under my desk ready to start biting some cables yesterday… And I was out of the room for all of 2 minutes while I went to get him a bottle) or about how great the 2 boys play together… I’ve actually filmed a videoof the 2 of them playing lego together… well… TB was building his new Leg Toy Story 3 Dumpster Truck thing and Lil One was trying to eat the massive Megablocks right beside him… this Video will go up sometime this this week.

I hate leaving things unsaid when what I want to do is to shout to the 4 corners of the world of how insane things have gone as the world is once more turning upside down as my pet project has taken wings and a defined form and now has deadlines to be reached because now we have big guns waiting to see it ready so the can finally get behind the project. So you have an idea, it went from just having an online community to being a megablog and UK wide events for MAD Bloggers and even a TV show… Yeah… It has escalated a bit… BTW… If you want you (and your blog) to be featured in this TV show I’ll be soon posting a Casting Call for the Pilot’s recording… gi’me a shout purleeeese…

I am also fighting to get some time to stop and set a date to do the Bloggers4good studio photoshoot… hence the reson why I didn’t post any new details about it yet…

Hell… I haven’t even blogged about our Film Festival entry! The film I shot with Marcio Delgado last year (“We Get Used…”) was chosen to be screened at the Portobello Film Festival. The movie talks about how we get used to survive instead of living life for real using the characters testimonies as an example. That’s it’s 1st trailer down there.

I hate leaving things unsaid…

And from now on I promise I wont… and to make sure of that I am stipulating a day EVERY week where I’ll I’ll blog about will be news of things to come and things that made the week memorable (or a big pile od s**t). And I shall call this weekly blog event THE F WORD (not because I’ll use the original F word a lot… but because it will happen every Friday… so don’t be alarmed… hehehe)

Right…

I have said the things that were left unsaid…

Now back to our normal blogging.

Thank you for listening (I know… I know… READING… you know what I mean… )

zya!

Oh wow… Holidays… our last one was so long ago I can’t even remember how Holidays must feel like… I am a person that has travelled A LOT. I like the journey… sometimes even more than the final destination. I enjoy it as a whole really

So I am now inviting you to come in a journey with me through some of the photos we took on holidays since I’ve met The Wife, let’s see if I can remember how that feels…

First stop will be a long one… as I met The Wife in a “long long loooong holiday” to England in 2003.

I kinda told her we were going to get married on our first date… she took it as a joke… I win!

Next stop: Our Honey Moon at the tropical island of Ilha Bela (which is my favourite place in the world by the way)

It was our first proper holiday as a Family… Only thing I lament we didn’t do was scuba diving (as there was a little TB inside of The Wife’s Belly… as I said… our first proper family Holiday. )

Then we had a LONG time in which we din’t take any holidays at all… until 2008 when we did Derbyshire

Scotland

And Salvador (BA)/Brasilia (DF) (Brasil)

#

which was… ahem… a very chicky trip considering all things that went wrong in it… well… let’s just say we still managed to have some VERY interesting fun… And I’ll leave your imagination do the rest… hehehe

since then we’ve done only 1 – 2 day short trips to recharge the batteries… nothing long enough… and we are planning our first holiday as a family of 4… Much much needed…

I couldn;t really make my mind as to the best pictures… so I am attaching all of them (the favourite ones) to the post… yeah… another long one…

enjoy!

You see… I don’t usually reply to memes… but that one was posted by my favourite distraction and I can’t just say no to Emma can I?

So… Liphook… where do I start from??? We’ve been living here for ummm about one week now so you imagine how much I can tell you about that picturesque pretty little Village…

Where to start from?!?!?!

We live here:

Yeah… quite different from living in London like we did just 5 days ago…

We are no strangers to Liphook. The wife spent most her life before we met here actually and we used to come along every year for the Liphook Carnival… That and the MIL’s world famous Roast Dinners (remind me to comment on the the MIL’s culinary skills at a later date).

Living here is a total new experience to me as it is THE FIRST TIME EVER I live in a small town. For one side I am finding the novelty awesome… trying out the country side life is inspiring me to get quite a few projects out of the drawer… and to pursue a few others together with TB and soon also with Mr. A (we’re gonna grow a vegetable patch!!! and our own tomatoes!!! ) And I am considering transforming the Garage in a den/studio, so just wait and see.

The other side of me is terrorized (Did you know the only computer supplies shop in town only opens in the morning??? I supose I should be grateful there is one at all… but hey… The silence gives me headaches!

The village has about 8000 inhabitants and it is located 4.1 miles west of Haslemere down the A3 from London and in the Coaching era was a midway point for post sent from Portsmouth and Southampton to London. Local tradition has it that Lord Nelson spent his last night in England in Liphook before sailing for the Battle of Trafalgar.

Local attractions include the Forest Mere health spa and Hollycombe Steam Collection. On ‘the night the clocks go back’ (usually the last Saturday in October) the village plays host to the Liphook Carnival, a procession of floats through the village followed by a bonfire which has taken place since 1903

Apart from going to The Anchor there isn’t really much to do in town but at  least I can still have my summer distractions!!!!

Life is a journey… And I feel I am embarking in a brand new one.

How is it gonna be living in the town I live? I have no idea…

But I am sure going to my best to make it fun!!!!

Hasta La Vista
