Martine:)

Hi everyone:)

Most of this blog so far has been mostly about my work/where I have travelled and new hobbies I have started... well I thought it was time to put a more personal entry

.Okay I think that it is time that you meet Martine:) Have you ever been breathless over a women? Well I do not know how she does it but with a single smile/look that is me... Breathless:)

It all started at Patong beach... where one could lite these lanterns and make a wish... You always think that this will never work... well the truth is most people always wish for the impossible. However on this beautiful night, while the little candle in the lantern, was filling the lantern with warm air, (just like a hot air balloon) I was thinking on what to wish for...


While my friends where standing and laughing at this crazy idea I had, I realized straight away I was missing in my life... so just as the lantern took off on its own that is when I made my wish....



Then 2 days later, we headed home from Phuket to Bangkok to Doha to Heathrow to Lisbon...

AND on the flight from Doha do Heathrow, for some unknown reason I did not get to sit next to my mates (Ana, Rui and Mike) however...
There was this beautiful women at the window...and that is when it all begun....

Martine and I spoke for almost 7hours straight on the plane.... (it was like from 2 in the morning to 9 in the morning)... some people around us could not believe us but it was JUST PERFECT. We had so much in common... I mean how on earth could 2 perfect strangers get on so well in 7 hours on a plane?

Her smile... amazing,
Her angelic eyes... breathtaking

But there is so much more to Martine than her looks as I quickly found out on the plane... she is as fun as she is beautiful... Her heart and good nature are overwhelming and anyone within 10 seconds of her company can feel it!

When we reached Heathrow.... we unfortunately parted ways as she was heading home to Amsterdam after 6 months of travel (Nepal and New Zealand). It was really hard even though we had just meet - I mean I cant remember the last time I felt... breathless...it does not happen very often...

On my way back from Beijing, I had a 6 hour wait in Amsterdam, and I could not miss this opportunity to meet her again...So when I saw her again... well it all came back to me and it was worth the wait....A perfect afternoon, which ended with a
a perfect kiss....

Beijing 2008:)

Hi everyone:)
Ya I made it to Beijing:) IT IS GREAT... I mean China itself is outstanding. The scale of everything is amazing.
This is a photo of the entrance to the Forbidden City:) BRUTALLLLL

What can I say... the food, the people, are just really great.

I strongly suggest everyone goes to China once in their life time.

This is a cool picture of a Nike Shop that I went past when I was there. I really liked this shop because it had the Portuguese National team outfit for the Euro2008.

On the last day, the local newspaper had Cristiano Ronaldo on the first page!!! Amazing:)

Nos tugas tamos por tudo que e sitio:)

China town in China town!!!

This is what China ia all about eheheh.

On the last night we had a meal on the street, this is a typical or traditional road of Beijing...it was just great. It started to rain cats and dogs... but it still was FANTASTIC. I cant think of a better way to end the trip.

I was out there for 1 week... mostly in Dalian. I was working most of the time but we had a spare afternoon in Beijing... as our return ticket was from Beijing and not Dalian. I have to go back one day. Road trip around China!!! Now we are talking:)

Rockness 2008

Hi everyone,
Ya I made it to Rockness 2008.... a FANTASTIC music festival... and yes you guessed it... that is the Lockness (2 and half hour drive from Aberdeen, near Inverness)... I looked for Nessie.. but I she was scared of the music.

The festival is so cool, not too big (only 35000) but not too small.

Always making new friends... hell with football shoes like this even I could give Ronaldo a run for his money!!!

The festival has a unique environment... what can I say about Scottish women... they are in a class of their own:)

When I got there on Friday it was raining but Saturday and Sunday... the weather was great!!! But to be honest its not the weather that makes the festival, its not the camping, its not the music.... but the people you go with and ones you meet along the way!!!

What a weekend...!!!!

Next year... Rockness here I come!!!!

Hi everyone,

Yes I have a new hobby... and I thought I would share it with you guys:

POWER KITTING!!

I have just bought a Peter Lynn PepperII 3 squared meters power kite ... IT IS GREAT...
I mean when it is winding the kite can actually pick me up....
This sport is perfect for Scotland...I have already been air born... It was an amazing experience... however landing is another matter...Ya I crashed!!! It was still fun. Going to try and perfect the art of flying a kite!!!

The next stage is to get a land buggy:) ohh yeaahhh
