11-11
11-November it’s a day we, Porties, celebrate since a very young age. It’s the Saint Martin’s day, or in Portuguese, Dia de São Martinho. Our tradition says that we should eat chestnuts and drink a sort of wine, called Àgua-pé. Here you can read more. source: google I was always a big fan of this […]
Retrospect…
… contemplation of the past; a survey of past time, events, etc… This is what retrospect stands for, in the dictionary. For me, it stands for that and much more. Let’s start from the beginning; March 23rd, 2013. A very cold day, painted in white due to snow and with gray skies. Sounds very depressing, […]

Clash of Titans #2 – Bica vs Koffie
Hello there!!! When I thought about this Series, I think the first thing that popped to my mind was: coffee! I’m a huge coffee lover, but I do not like any kind of coffee. Black (w/ sugar!) or cappuccino. That’s it… No extra flavors or fancy stuff in it. So, Starbucks and that kind of […]
