Save me from what I want to be :)



It´s hot... much too hot... much much too hot... 25degrees... in the night!... today was easily sth around 35... this temperature doesn´t really go well with the lack of sleep, work, drinks and all the loughers, scrachers, swingers and other colorful chemical substances... yeah whatever... all this happened on the last party in my house... actually it was really the very last party there! From now one all of them will be called "the bbqs" :D ... this time we had two excuses to do the party: Núria´s last party, and Liselot´s birthday... oi I forgot about one thing... Renhas nails :D finally she has acceptable nails :D... and the party was worth to remember... I won´t describe it here... please, people that were there write sth :) because actually I´m not the right person to describe it :) .
On monday we went to a nice barbecue near o cemiterio, nice night again... a bit sad to be honest but it was nothing comparing what happened yesterday when Nú has left... definitelly... the atmosphere was exactly like on o cemiterio... ok then... this post is short but I will fix it tommorow...

on the dArq side of the moon...


now will be something about our second home... dArq - departamento de Arquitectura, Faculdade de Ciencias e Technologia, Universidade de Coimbra. It´s probably most psychodelic place in the whole university... first... try to get into it... find it... and there is the first problem... how to do that? ok... go up to the university hill and look for a Faculdade de Bioquimica...yeah bioquimica, the one with the sign of geology! but where is geology?? inside museo de zoologia, of course...The thing is, that u have in the same building biochemestry and arquitecture, two fields which always had a lot to be with each other...anyway, the thing is that the main entrance is for Biochemestry...dArq doesn't have a main entrance, just some kind of back entrances....but actually u can get to darq thru biochemestry, which is actually in Ciencias e Tecnologia signed building, which is actually in museo de zoologia...like 20 meters behind...Anyway, once u make (somehow passing trough ruins of sth) to one of the back entrances of dArq (which u recognize 'cos it's written...sorry...spryed in the wall dArq in red colour...) you get to two really nice elevators (without security door, obiusly) and that go directly from 0 floor to 3rd passing trhu a 2nd floor (which is actually two floors (!!!), but didnt even know that existed!) ´cos the bulding from outside looks like having 2 floors only...anyway...
The bar(really worth to visit!!!)...shared bar between biochemestry and darq, but located in the 2nd or 3rd floor, or 4rth...or whatever...UP....and it's nicelly indicated in a wall in biocchemestry (ground floor) written with PENCIL on the wall (masters of marketing!), next to a nice biochemestry lab and male's toilets...
But the best thing...is that going thru the back entrance...u can avoid escadas monumentais :P walking thru a nice path (like in the mountain)...obviusly also hidden...passing a part of old facultade de farmacia (nice abandoned top floor with broken windows...) in front of a nice old elevator (which actually lays down crashed) and was going up somewhere in the old times....(maybe to the unexisting two floors of dArq?)... so finally... now you have an idea where we are at the moment... :) good luck if you want to join us :)

(not) Alone in the dArq...


So we are after the opening of exhibition and presentations. Thanks to all that showed themselves there! Suprisingly it was mostly the "polish sector"... Anyway, everything went great and I hope it will go on and finish with the workshop. After drinking whole alcohol that we had on the exhibit we went first to Liselot, next to AAC to end up in Trasdos Montes... Nice night... we´ve met german film director, that found us quite entertaining :P ... maybe we will be in his next movie? :) or the next movie is going to be about us :) hehe sth slightly different from sweet stories of Spanish shelter or what was the name of this movie :).
Ok then... now I´m just sitting in dArq... it´s 3.42 and I´m tryin hard to do sth with my music school... so long fellows :) see you soon... Coimbra and this old hospital are just amazing during the night :) ... agur, ondopasa eta muxutxus! Matia

Queima das Fitas


And it has arrived... Queima das Fitas! Amazing party... but is it really only a party? Whole city is living only with it during this week... all the people dressed black... and the fact that I cannot go there, otherwise I will not pass my project :P hehehe but don´t think we´re not partying at all :) we´re not going to the concerts´ area only :)
But on Friday that was something... drum´n´base party in Jardim Botanico... we´ve danced for 6h non stop? :P something like this... however I´m preety sure that in my cup there was not only whisky and cola... but something much stronger that didn´t let me sleep for next two days... but luckilly is gone now :) ok then... I will write more about this soon :) now going back to the project, exhibition and all the stuff we´re doing now... ate mais!

Noitas longas


another long night at dArq... Queima is approaching but project still in progress :) but this weekend will last in our memories for a long time... first on friday great great great party :) Renha´s birthday in my house... many people, cool atmosphere... first sight of The Beggining of The Rainbow :) just funtastic! What´s interresting the party had like four stages... with enormous last street activities :)... but the next day... after cleaning the house (big hug for Friedriksen) ... there was time to recover from the party... and where we can recover better than on the seaside? :) So together with Agata, Friedriksen, Paul, Pawel, Ricardo and Yoyo, we went close to Nazare in the search for abbandoned beach and nice waves to surf... without a problem we´ve found the first one... about the second... we were just a bit unlucky :) ... then two nights on the beach... under the clear sky with clear view on The Beggining of The Rainbow :) That was something :) Thanks to all of You :) see you soon on Queima...
