Faith in Humanity You're now watching two strangers discuss your question! Question to discuss: State one thing the makes you cry but you take pride on that. (Me: Zelda OST) Stranger 1: Oh. Er. Stranger 2: ehh. Stranger 1: oh! Stranger 1: Dogs sitting next to their homeless owners. Stranger 1: Gets me weeping every time. Stranger 2: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Stranger 1: especially when the dog is rather large and adorable. Stranger 1: Jesus. I'm tearing up now. Stranger 2: awwwwwe! Stranger 2: me too! Stranger 1: :C Stranger 2: :'( Stranger 1: well, this question is depressing. Stranger 2: ik! Stranger 2: erkk. Stranger 1: uh, well. Have... have a nice day? Think of happy things!

8 hours of sleep in 2 days… (4 + 4) … and I’m feeling great and with lots of energy to give and share! A normal sleep cycle stands for 4 hours +-, so it’s easier to feel refreshed after a 4 hour than another non multiple of 4 number of hours. Two years ago I started working throughout the night and I felt very nauseous when slept a irregular amount of time. But as my mum, that works in shifts, told me it’s normal and I should simply avoid those situations or bear them. Then after some investigation and sharing experiences with my friends I discovered that the 4hour is the best trade of sleep/performance. BTW - I have a messed up sleeping pattern. If I let myself sleep in I can reach 12hours, with 1 or two ocasional wake ups just to fall asleep again.

Pastéis de Belém - These sweets are made only in Belém, (Lisbon, Portugal). They are great, not too sweet but definitely super tasty. The recipe is kept with the utmost secrecy and the coffee shop that makes them is still running in the same place since 1837.
PS - there is a starbucks right next to the place. I went there today and bought 6 “pastéis” and took them over to the starbucks to eat them with my “toffee nut latte”.

I sometimes I feel deeply ashamed for my lack of commitment and motivation. =(
