Hey!

So, with the lack of news from this side here, I decided to post this journal about my new website.
It was about time to replace my old Portfolio, made in Flash, which was interesting and very conceptual, but a "pain in the ass" to upload new stuff (well, pretty much as all Flash based websites that require constant content management).

You can still see the old one here tho: www.raquel-ferreira.com/portfo…

I decided to make a new website, that would look a bit more professional, and where I could actually show some of the work I've been doing, since college and now that I (try to) work as a professional.

It's a website made with the CMS Joomla, and... well, pretty much it! Much easy to update, I think the design is very clean and intuitive, I also made it both in portuguese and english (probably some little errors in english, but hey, I'm not Shakespere here...).

I also have a guestbook, so if anyone likes to comment or leave some support regarding my work.

It's here: www.raquel-ferreira.com

Other news...well, I'm still trying to get my driving license, it's still a bit hard to drive, lol...
I also redone one of my piercings, the one that I accidently pulled off (yes, it hurted like shit).

Pretty much it.

Visit my new website!

Siren Song

2 min read
Are you my family
Can I stay with you a while
Can I stop off in your bed tonight
I can make you smile

In the morning I’ll make you breakfast
In the evening I’ll warm the bed
And I’ll always be happy to kiss you
Promise I’ll never get sad

Till the sirens come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil
Mama was a heartbreaker
Loved you the same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin

My name is Pearl
And I love you the best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart
When the sirens come calling
It won't be long until you're running

Help you dress yourself up fancy
And bathe you when you get sore
I'll be good, I think I could
Be all you would want and more and more

Be proud when you dazzle the wanderers
And glitter your eyes for the town
Tell every last boy that you're my man
I'll try not to let you down

Till the sirens come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil
Mama was a heartbreaker
Loved you the same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin

My name is Pearl
And I love you the best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart

When the stars are exploding in your eyes
It won't be long till you're running
No it won't be long till you're running
It won't be long until you're running
It won't be long until you're running
‘Cause I’m evil, 'cause I'm evil

Lyrics: Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes)

Lovely lovely and amazingly epic song!
For you :heart:

Statement:

I had no idea that Bacardi-Cola could make such a headache, and make me forget about stuff that happened last night. Not that I have done anything wrong, of course. I'm a good girl and good girls go wild sometimes... probably it was Pepsi instead of Coca Cola...humm...

I was supposed to be working today, but I asked my boss if I could take the day off. He asked "Are you going to party?" and I replied "Oh yeah". Honesty is a wonderful thing!
By the way, I got dismissed, but who cares anyway? I was tired of that hole and now I can rest for some days and go to the beach and get some energy to search for another job. But seriously, it wasn't because of my honesty that I was dismissed...

It's my birthday today, and of course I started to party last night. So nice to see my old friends! I wish this feeling could last forever! I'll spend my day with my family and later have dinner with everyone and my boyfriend, and my big Birthday cake, opening presents...I'm like a kid :blushes:!
Later at night, we're all partying again!

Since I'm going to have some free time in the next couple of days, I'll probably be posting more deviations and stuff around here...

Enjoy the show!

Don't get me wrong by the title...these summer days would be awsome if I wasn't working for almost a year and not entitled to any holidays...I'm exausted and bored, suffocating from the heat and with no will at all to do anything. I'm really exausted...

I miss my holidays time, like the 3 months I had last year, after finishing University and before getting a job. Now I missed those times: waking up late to the sound of the waves, getting up for coffee, read the newspaper, check my e-mails and heading to the beach with my friends. By the evening we'd return home, eat, get a shower and get dressed for some summer party going on, where I'd meet some old friends who I only see on school holiday's time...oh the sweet smell of poncha :D Its true that virgo's need the routine (I sure loved this routine).

Summer also means my birthday, which, by the way, is next week. Last year I celebrated it partying with some friends and with new people we met, had a nice and cozy lunch with my family and a great dinner with my boyfriend.

This year, I'll turn 24...which means I'm aging and I don't want it to happen :(
And since I'm working, I can't go to the beach, except on weekends. I only got the chance to reunite with my friends once this summer, and soon they'll be away again.

My contract is ending soon and I want to change to a better job...since all the design work is done around here, they're thinking in putting me in another department doing something I hate...So, my future is so blury right now that I can't even feel motivated to finish my new website...

Buuuuuut, it's almost weekend, since friday is a holiday and me, myself and I is going to take some rest and party! Gotta keep the engines running for next week in S.Vicente, the most awsome summer party ever (and my birthday!).

So, now that I feel a little relief by writing all of this, I'll try to work a little bit more on my website (I also feel the caffeine kicking in...finally!)

I know nobody reads my journal anyway haha!

Running

1 min read
You sing for me my friend,
Brave and confident,
And there is comfort between your breaths,
And I use sense to help.

But when the days beneath me,
Scream into my present,
I must always run the race on my own.

Your warmth is in my bed,
Your voice above the stairs,
And then the touching that comes regret,
Becomes my mercy chair.

Even when the sun is burning,
Saving graces,
I must always run the race on my own.

Oh the sinking and the scent,
Of every saving word.
And the destruction of all convention,
And all corrupted thought.
Dig their nails into my art
And instinct shows,

I must always run the race on my own.
I must always run the race on my own.
I must always run the race on my own.


[ IAMX lyrics, from the upcoming album "Kingdom of Welcome Addiction"
