Bremen doesn’t feel the same in such gorgeous sunny days! the after party was a cool healthy brunch then later on…more BBQ! It was Alwin’s bday and the mood was “beach house” like. cozy and strange. i felt i was somewhere else by the sea. it felt good. good talks and laughs.

Thibu’s bday - a hell of a party! I felt v. welcome back in town after all that, seeing people and dancing to the sound of good music. and the best part is: it took place in my own home :) the neighbour was more creative this time and decided “to water” our windows to interact. :p

back to Hfk after so long in a sunny day defo didn’t feel the same. Light labor still not sure about. no time for all this term. in a glimpse I was back to TZI. the work is flowing well although I feel quite tired from the trip. tough week but I’m glad it is a productive one.

Back to work! I enjoy the beautiful view to the garden. The building looks a lot prettier from inside than from the outside. The mood was good in the office and the weather was unbelievably sunny and warm. German class on the other hand continues being my dark section of the day. But I persist on that challenge.

Last little things solved. Walking at Regent and Oxford street enjoying this sunny morning. The flight was like a glimpse! bang! then I was back to a different reality. :( I know…to compensate I felt happy to see the dearest people once I got in Viertel.

One day before leaving. I had to run a bit to manage it all. Nice talks and memories. Explored east, north and west London today. a ludic race against the clock! I know I’ll miss particularly the cycling from home to tower bridge - in one side - and to brick lane - on the other - 10min and I was there. The docklands area, the cozy wooden floor pubs, the busy cafes, the design museum, tate, bfi, south bank area, small galleries and the peculiar atmosphere of brick lane and shoreditch. I hope I can visit it again soon. “dreams never end”

Great Sunday at Soho! Guinness, dinner, then Swedish cider » then cupcakes + old school games at MADD. Eliana, Fe e Victor made me laugh that way that I missed for so long. People were looking at us as we were super drunk and we were just naturally happy. Enjoying the funny episodes of life [while listening the stories the way only Fer and Eli can tell]. Hilarious tone and funny faces!

I lost my track of time completely, got late and missed the last DLR train. Managed to find my way back home from Bank thanks to the public bike system [better than waiting 20min for the next bus]. Love the convenience of the docks present almost in every 3 blocks. It saved my time again. I was missing to pass through the City area during the night and it was so warm and silent at that point. The financial centre, its amazing buildings and lightning as a desert around 24h. Nearly poetic.

Getting home at 8am from Fabric and declaring my love for Italian coffee! Necessary! Busy day and fun night with all the crew watching the final of the champions league. English beat German. Chelsea victory in London was celebrate as a little carnival. Cycling home with Steffano and Gustavo “protection” was an extra adventure after all that jazz. It was the night we talked about the most embarrassing topics. It was fun but unfortunately none of us had alcoholic amnesia. Fancy Italian coffee? Prego!

Epic night at Fabric. Blondes (live), SMD and Objekt. Unfortunately I ended up missing kode9 in the 2nd room - as it was too good to leave the main one. Massive sound system! Tears of joy! A bless!

I spent hours in the V&A show “British Design 1948-2012”. Personal identification was the section dedicated to design for the music industry. Classics by Jamie Reid, Peter Saville, Neville Brody were there. It reminded some years ago my bachelor final project. Some editions of “The Face” were also there. I felt privileged [and confess a bit emotional] when considering the crazy path since 2006. I could never imagine such scene.

this afternoon had long talk with gustavo. we were drinking chimarrão just some steps from our flat [my previous address and now the place I’m staying temporarily]. it was a pleasant temperature of 15C. although it was a bit cloudy the sun was making the buildings made of glass brighter once in a while. looking at this precise view I thought of meaningful people in distinct phases of my ephemeral life in london. ironic… there I was again. i felt good to realize I achieved things I’ve always wanted and had no clue on how to conquer them. some were really simple and small but had a huge impact on the way I perceive things. others weren’t simple at all and some more are still there to be conquered. the whole trajectory feels now a lot smoother and even less precious to me than it really was. I do sometimes forget how it was since the first little step. I wonder if it was a matter of luck or not. I don’t know but 80% of what I managed to live was certainly just because I never stopped trying my chances.

“dreams never end” is a new order song that not accidentally I listened to the 1st time I looked at the thames.

went cycling to the design museum and got an epic shower. a bit of ice to refresh my ideas! designs of the year was ok. I liked better 2011. Christian Louboutin / David Lynch room was more exciting.
