I know. And apologise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what's been happening?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all - I finished my degree!!!!! It was crazy, exciting, tiring, overwhelming, stressful, challenging, brain-wrecking and all the crazyness related adjectives you can find in the Shakespeare's language. It was mad. Exams were almost lethal. Seriously, I don't think I had ever been that tired. Not even when I did my year 12 exams and everyone knows that wasn't particularly healthy. &lt;br /&gt;But I did it. Actually... I didn't. God did. He used my hand to write on the exam paper, but it was Him. And He makes sure He has all the glory for it. Every time, God tries to teach me in the same way. He doesn't want me to rely on my studies for all my worth. My worth is solely in His Son, that loved me enough to come and die for me. If I rely on my grades to assess how much I'm worth, it's pretty much telling God that His Son wasn't good enough. And that's a sin. Not only a sin, it's stupid. How can the God that was there in the beginning, the Lion of Judah, the Rock of Ages, the Prince of Peace, how can The Christ not be good enough??&lt;br /&gt;So God tries to get me to live this every year. It's mind-blowing how He doesn't just leave me to it. He could just tell me "Ana, this is what you need to do. I've given you a brain and free will. I've saved you from the chains that bound you to sin. Now just go on and do it." Most of the times this is what I do with people. I tell them what they need to do according to the Bible. I tell them they are saved so they are able to do it, though Christ. And I leave them to it. Then I come back and I'm shocked that they failed. How could they fail? Don't they have a brain? But I praise God this isn't how He deals with me. Because He knows I would fail. He is there. He lets me get exhausted trying to do things by myself and my way. He stays there while I try to convince myself that I've done it before so I can do it again. He's is there warning me that I'm trying to do His job. And then He watches me when I start realising that, actually, I can't. He is right there when I finally break down and realise that I definitely can't do it. And people that know me know that I hate not being in control. And then, amazingly, He steps right in. Once I realise that I can't do it, He says "It's ok. You're not supposed to." And He does it. &lt;br /&gt;God carried me through doing and passing my exams. He got me the grade I needed to fulfil His plan. And I can say that it was all God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long story short, I'll be starting my Integrated PhD in Immunity and Infection in the University of Southampton, School of Medicine, in October. Really really excited to see what God has planned for me in that city. But I'm also scared, so please pray for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for now, I'm home for summer. I've just been resting, hanging out with friends and family. It has been good to relax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David is coming on the 12th and on the 14th I start my first camp. So excited, too! Over the past few years, this camp has been a blessing for the children and the leaders to I'm looking forward be part of it again, this summer. Plus, I'm missing CEF camp life.&lt;br /&gt;Then, on the 21st, the future Mr &amp; Mrs Haskew are coming to stay for a week! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahh! So hyped up about it! I'm missing Jo so it'll be really good to have her around for a week. I'll try to show them a bit of the best of Portugal. Well, as much as you can see and experience in a week, really. But it'll be fantastic to just hang out, regardless. They are getting married next year and I've been working on the bridal party entrance with Laura's precious help. Well... she's been working on it more than me. I just told her what I wanted and she's making it happen because she is amazing like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the 27th, teenager camp which should be really cool. And then, back to the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I think that's probably it! I'm hoping to write again after camps but won't promise anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for reading! :)&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-618176614087928466?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/618176614087928466/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=618176614087928466' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/618176614087928466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/618176614087928466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2010/08/end-of-degree-and-summer-2010.html' title='End of degree and summer 2010'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-6993408964737197263</id><published>2010-02-18T13:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-18T14:03:13.297-08:00</updated><title type='text'>No more night - David Phelps</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6vX3HHtytDo&amp;hl=pt_BR&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6vX3HHtytDo&amp;hl=pt_BR&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-6993408964737197263?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/6993408964737197263/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=6993408964737197263' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6993408964737197263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6993408964737197263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2010/02/no-more-night-david-phelps.html' title='No more night - David Phelps'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-2068133930242831958</id><published>2009-12-28T04:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-28T07:00:54.197-08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009</title><content type='html'>2010 is almost here so I thought I would actually write something before this year ends. And what a year!!&lt;br /&gt;So many things happened that I barely had time to breathe... as you might have noticed by the lack of blog posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many things I'm grateful for and so many people I need to thank for the way they've let God use them to bless me with their example, words of encouragement, by telling me off, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this last blog post of the year is a small attempt to say thank you. By no means I'm gonna pretend I'll be able to list here everything and everyone. I'm sorry for that but I'm gonna do my best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I thank God for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- For my amazing family and friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- For giving me a great boyfriend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- getting me through second year without going totally mad (and note the 'totally'...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- passing all my coursework and exams (and what a miracle that was!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- all the summer camps. This was a big thing in my year. It was so challenging but so good. I keep saying that, as a leader, you learn way more than the kids. Besides learning the stories and biblical principles taught (and believe me, you get a lot from them), you learn how to interact and get to kids with different personalities and different needs, how to work with a team of people that have very different ideas from you but still be united because of the Gospel, submit to the authority of the directors and at the same time be a leader for the kids, rely on God to overcome tiredness, the importance of praying for the kids that are not saved and realise that really it's God that does it all. And in every single camp I left feeling I was totally hopeless without God. Every wednesday or thursday of camp (they run saturday to saturday) we would feel that everything was falling apart and we could do nothing about it because we were so tired. And then God would show that He is God. He is Sovereign. He provides. Decisions for Christ would happen or that kid that was driving us crazy would 'suddently' behave in meetings. And we'd leave being 100% convinced that it was all God. Not the old "To God be the glory" coming out of our mouths but still thinking deep inside "Well done, Ana. You actually dealt with the situation pretty well." It was really all for Him and through Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- For the godly leaders and directors I had the priviledge of serving with. They taught me so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- For the nicest, sweetest campers that would put a smile on our faces and for the toughest campers that drove us crazy and tested our patience to the limit... only for me to end up realising that my limit wasn't actually high enough and to humble me looking at Christ's example of patience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- For giving me a project in uni that I'm loving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- For getting me through the first semestre of 3rd year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I thank people for being there for me (in no particular order):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Mum, dad, my brothers and the rest of my family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- David&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Cath, Rach, Jo, Becca and Lisa - my wonderful housemates that I love dearly :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Gabalfa crew that have been just amazing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Home church people that always welcome me back&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Sofia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Laura&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- David &amp;amp; Susana&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Pedro &amp;amp; Lena&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- All the amazing, fun, friendly, godly, hilarious, gifted,..., leaders from camp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- All my friends in Cardiff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- My teachers (esp. my tutor and supervisor. because they are legends)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and all the others that I have had the privilege of having in my life in 2009. To all, thank you very much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for everyone that is reading - have a wonderful 2010!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God bless you all&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-2068133930242831958?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/2068133930242831958/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=2068133930242831958' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/2068133930242831958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/2068133930242831958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2009/12/2009.html' title='2009'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-7196283469213577733</id><published>2009-11-09T02:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-09T03:39:11.627-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A temperatura nao esta aconselhavel nem a pinguins...</title><content type='html'>hey!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;como vai isso?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por aqui vai tudo ok. Demasiado trabalho para um reduzido espaco de tempo. E de loucos... Tenho passado todas as minhas tardes a excepcao da de domingo no primeiro andar da biblioteca. Acho que o proximo passo e levar para la uma tenda e um fogareiro (nem acredito que acabei de usar esta palavra) e passear por la de pijama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No fim de semana passado estive em Portugal. Foi muito bom ver toda a gente e o David tambem teve a oportunidade de conhecer algumas das pessoas que fazem parte da minha vida ha mais tempo. Foi um fim de semana muito cheio. Chegamos na quinta-feira a noite super cansados. Isto porque tinha sido um dia de loucos. O nosso comboio para Londres era suposto sair de Cardiff as 10h25m. O problema foi que nos saimos de casa ja bastante atrasados. Tivemos de correr com as malas ate a estacao e chegamos la totalmente esbaforidos para descobrir que o nosso comboio estava atrasado 10min. *phew...* estavamos a tempo. So que estes 10min transformaram-se em 20min... e um comboio a abarrotar. Depressa nos apercebemos que se o comboio se atrasasse mais ou demorasse nas proximas estacoes, iriamos perder o comboio de ligacao para o aeroporto e, provavelmente, o voo. Ok, quando dizem que os homens sao mais relaxados que as muheres - no meu caso e verdade. Eu stresso. O David estava na maior a ouvir musica e eu acho que bati o record de conseguir olhar para o relogio tres vezes em 5 segundos...&lt;br /&gt;O comboio la chegou...Corremos pelas estacoes e pelo aeroporto com as malas (o David levava a minha e eu a dele mas eu acho que e totalmente justo visto que ele pos uma data de coisas que precisava na minha mala o que a fez pesar mais do que eu podia carregar) e as 21 e picos la chegamos a casa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sexta foi pra visitar familia e ir a S. Pedro. Sabado foi cheio de ensaios.... que nao deviam ter demorado tanto tempo mas pronto... A malta e nova e e tudo no relax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No Domingo tivemos culto de manha para o qual tinhamos ensaiado no dia anterior, dirigido pelos adolescentes. Correu bastante bem e toda a gente se empenhou no dia.&lt;br /&gt;A tarde tivemos a familia la em casa para lanche e Singstar... Temos promessas no jogo. Nao me admiraria nada se Paulo Francisco lancasse a nova "cover" do "Reet Petite".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi um optimo fim de semana mas agora e altura de voltar para o trabalho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amanha tenho um teste de "Biology in Society". Basicamente tenho de saber as teorias todas do metodo cientifico e os argumentos de todas as cabecinhas pensadoras de ha umas decadas/seculos atras.&lt;br /&gt;O nosso prof. e bastante prestigiado. Contudo, apesar de citar todos os filosofos gregos com uma precisao fantastica e a adequada arrogancia na voz de quem toma cafe com o Dawkins e reuniu com o K. Popper, quando teve de citar a Biblia, ai e que a coisa se tornou complicada. Ele queria passar a ideia de que Cristo tinha suportado a teoria de que ciencia e religiao estudam coisas diferentes e nao se devem interligar. Para tal, decidiu usar a passagem em Mateus 22:21. E comecou: "  "Give to God what is God's" and... erm... give... sorry, I blanked here...give man... no! that's it:"Give to society what is society's" ". Meteu agua... Se quer argumentar que a Biblia e Deus nao tem nada a ver com ciencia, ao menos leia a Biblia. Acho que apeteceu aos 4 crentes na sala levantar-se e dizer "Sorry, sir, I belive it's "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's". "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas pronto... bem, vou voltar ao meu estudo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aqui esta um frio que nao se pode e ja estou constipada... wehey!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abracos&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-7196283469213577733?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/7196283469213577733/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=7196283469213577733' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/7196283469213577733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/7196283469213577733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2009/11/temperatura-nao-esta-aconselhavel-nem.html' title='A temperatura nao esta aconselhavel nem a pinguins...'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-4216316484512862718</id><published>2009-10-10T07:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-10T08:05:33.714-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cardiff</title><content type='html'>Heya!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desculpem a demora... As ultimas semanas tem sido bastante atarefadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como a maior parte de voces sabe, voltei a Cardiff para o meu ultimo ano de curso. Em termos de disciplinas, nao podia ter escolhido melhor. Todas elas sao bastante interessantes. De momento tenho:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Mechanisms of Human Disease&lt;br /&gt;- Biology in Society (Etica)&lt;br /&gt;- Human Infectious Diseases&lt;br /&gt;- Degeneration and Repair of the Human central nervous system&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No proximo semestre substituo Biology in Society e Human Infectious por Genetic Models of Disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quanto ao GBU... Primeira reuniao - 300 novos membros. Wow.&lt;br /&gt;Nessa mesma noite recebemos a noticia que a sala porque tinhamos orado e por que os nossos "antecessores" tinham orado durante anos e anos, estaria disponivel para nos a custo zero. Esta sala esta situada no meio da associacao de estudantes, normalmente custa £1000 para alugar uma noite e tem espaco para aprox. 700 pessoas. Foi uma verdadeira resposta a oracoes o facto da associacao de estudantes nos ter facultado o espaco de graca e todas as semanas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na igreja esta tudo bem. Muitos bebes novos.&lt;br /&gt;Ha duas semanas tivemos a apresentacao do novo pastor. Deve ter por volta dos seus 30-35 anos. Ele e a esposa tem tres meninas pequeninas (o que pelas nossas contas sera perfeito para equilibrar o ratio rapazes/raparigas).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, gotta go.

No final, conseguimos! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Musical... bem... pelo elevado nível de qualidade que conseguimos alcançar, pelo que aprendemos, pelo empenho dos campistas que conseguiam estar em ensaios non-stop e que até preferiam não ir à piscina ou serem acordados às 7.30 da manhã para trabalharem...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- H2O Adolescentes pela boa relação entre a equipa e laços fortalecidos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi um excelente verão.

O voo não foi assim tão mau, desta vez... Aliás, todos os comboios e o voo que tive de apanhar chegaram a tempo e pude ler durante todo o dia, o que é sempre bom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os meus exames acabaram na segunda feira, dia 1. Não consigo descrever quão bom foi sair daquela sala e pensar "pronto, já está". Sei as notas a meio de julho. Espero que sejam alguma coisa de jeito, para completar a minha alegria. Sei que fiz o meu melhor portanto...agora seja o que Deus quiser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nessa segunda à tarde/noite, estive com os meus amigos. Primeiro o Dave e depois a Jo e a Rachael. Estava mesmo muito calor (tipo, 26ºC... miséria... desde quando é que 26ºC passou a ser "mesmo muito calor" em vez de "tá ok..um bocado pró frescote") e eu estava de calças de ganga o que não constituiu uma grande escolha de guarda-roupa (o triste é que essa não foi uma má escolha isolada...durante essa semana houve muitas mais...e piores). Fomos ao pub para jantar onde bebi o meu primeiro Pimms de sempre. Depois, o meu quarto (que estava BASTANTE desarrumado, por sinal)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pas´sámos a Terça-feira em Cardiff Bay. A Jo tinha uma marcação no cabeleireiro  de manhã (que acabou por levar 3 horas e meia) e a Rachael e eu passámos esse tempo a ler, sentadas numa esplanada, com vista para a baía e a beber chá. Apesar de ter sido fantástico, apanhei o maior escaldão de sempre devido à minha teimosia de "Eu vivo em Portugal! Não preciso de protector em Cardiff!". Depois fomos ao navio da OM, Logos Hope, que estava atracado em Cardiff. Eles tinham tantos livros!!! Consegui gastar só 19 libras e comprar montes deles :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lavei roupa e fiz a mala na manhã seguinte. À tarde, fomos ao Roath Park dar uma volta e acabámos num barquinho a remos no meio do lago. O ponto alto (ou não) foi provavelmente a minha hilariante incapacidade de coordenar o movimento dos remos e quando eu, sem querer, acertei numa mãe cisne com um dos remos. Cheguei a acreditar que o assustador animal (não estou a ser sarcástica...)ia saltar para o barco e atacar-nos. Nós não conseguiamos remar depressa o suficiente e ela já tinha as penas todas levantadas e estava a fazer barulhos esquisitos, de bico aberto... Depois disseram-me que eles são inúteis para sair da água mas mesmo assim... com tanta gaivota irritante à volta que eu podia ter morto (o que decerto constituiria um serviço para a humanidade), tinha logo de acertar no cisne gigante e ameaçador... tempos de azar.&lt;br /&gt;À noite tive reunião da christian union. É tão esquisito ver algumas pessoas pela última vez...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na terça,a Rachael veio deixar algumas coisas no meu quarto para ficarem durante o verão... junto vinha uma lista, coordenada com várias cores, de tudo o que estava em cada saco... isto há gente :P&lt;br /&gt;À noite fomos ver o "Anjos e Demónios" do Dan Brown. O livro é melhor mas o filme é ok... Jantámos num restaurante indiano muito fixe. Fiquei tão, mas tão cheia...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na sexta, a Jo e a Rachael foram-me buscar e levaram-me à estação de comboios. O Dave estava lá à espera e ajudou-me com a minha mala super pesada a subir as escadas e a pô-la no comboio.&lt;br /&gt;O resto do dia foi passado a viajar...nada de extraordinário...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E aqui estou. De volta a este escritório (que está a precisar de uma arrumação urgente) como se nunca daqui tivesse saído. Voltei para constatar que o meu champô e a minha pasta de dentes tinham sido usados por completo, outra vez... há coisas que nunca mudam :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parabéns se conseguiram chegar ao fim do meu relatório detalhado sobre a minha última semana em Cardiff!

The flight wasn't as bad, this time... In fact, all the trains and the flight I had to get were on time and I was able to read for the whole day which is always a good thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My exams finished on Monday, the 1st. I can't describe how good it was to step out of that room and realise they were over and done with... I'll get my marks mid-july. let's hope they are ok, to complete my happyness. I know I've done my best, so... now it's in God's hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday afternoon/evening was spent hanging out, firstly with Dave, and then Jo and Rachael. It was great just to chill out. It was really really hot (in like, 26ºC... oh my goodness! since when did 26ºC become "really hot" instead of "ok...a bit chilly"?!?!) and I was wearing jeans which wasn't a great wardrobe choice for that day (the sad thing is that that wasn't the only bad wardrobe choice that I did that week... in fact there were many more). We went to the pub for dinner where I had my first Pimms ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We spent Tuesday down at the bay. Jo had a hair appointement in the morning (that turned out to last for 3.5 hours...) and Rachael and I spent that time reading, seating outside in a coffee shop, looking at the bay and drinking tea. Although it was lovely, I got the biggest sunburn EVER due to my stubborness and to thinking "I'm portuguese! I won't need sun screen in Wales!!". Then we went on the OM ship (Logos Hope) that had arrived in Cardiff a few days before. There were so many books there!! I am rather proud of myself as I only spent 19 pounds and got loads of books!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did my laundry and packed pretty much all my stuff the following morning. Then, in the afternoon, we went to Roath Park for a walk and ended up going on a rowboat. The highlight of this adventure was prob my lack of gifting for rowing (and we are being nice, here) and when I accidently hit a mum-swan with one of the oars. I thought the evil animal was actually gonna "jump" to the boat and attack us as we couldn't row fast enough to move away from her. I was told afterwards that they are pretty useless coming out of water but still... with so many annoying seaguls around that I could kill (I'm sure this would be appreciated by most of the human kind), I had to hit the massive and evil swan... there are unlucky times.&lt;br /&gt;Then it was CU. it was sooo weird to see some of the people I've got to know for the last time, in uni... well, I'm sure I'll see them around someday and if not, I get to spend eternity with them so... lots of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Thursday, Rach came and left some of her stuff in my room for summer, along with a colour coded list of everything staying there... -.- In the evening we went to see "Angels and Demons", the film adapted from Dan Brown's book with the same title. The book is better but the movie is pretty good! We had dinner at an amazing indian retaurant beforehand. I was so so so full...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday, Jo and Rach picked me up and drove me to the train station. Dave was waiting there and, kindly, helped me carry my mega heavy suitcase up the stairs and into the train.&lt;br /&gt;The rest of the day was spent travelling. nothing that exciting...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here I am. back in this office (that really needs some urgent tidying...) as like I never left. i came back again to find my shampoo had been used as well as my toothpaste. some things never change... :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you got to the end of my detailed account of my last week in Cardiff - well done! Will write again soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s.

It was the end of term and we were about to go home each to our countries. One of them said something like: “Ana, I’m not talking to you over holidays. I need a break from you.” I just shrugged and said: “ok, that’s fine”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later on, I said something silly to my other friend (I can’t remember what it was) and she flicked my shoulder: “hey! This is for what you said. And this” she said while giving me a painful dead arm “is for not fighting for my friendship and quitting on me so easily”. I laughed. I knew she was joking in the first place because I know her and that’s the kind of relationship we have. If I thought that could be true, I wouldn’t just say: “that’s fine”. I would react, ask why, ask what I had done, if it was really necessary, etc. And I would pray lots and lots that she would change her mind. Why? Because her friendship mattered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remembered this situation the other day and asked myself: “What matters to me?” Friends matter, family matters, church/CU matters, my degree matters. How much more should the Gospel matter?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find myself quitting on my non-Christian friends too easily when it comes to sharing the gospel. If they don’t embrace it or look interested the first few times I speak to them about Christ, I tend not to talk about it anymore. I don’t think this is the right attitude. If there something that makes me tremble is to think that on my way to heaven I’ll see one of my friends going on the opposite direction and asking “Why didn’t you fight for me? Why did you quit so easily?”&lt;br /&gt;You may be thinking: “yeah, but sometimes constantly talking and “preaching” at your friends doesn’t work. It just gets annoying and will build up even more barriers than the ones that already exist”. Ok, I agree with you to some extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, as Christians we have the most amazing tool/weapon in these cases. We can pray. You are saying: “yeah, right...that’s such a cheesy Christian thing to say”. But think about it in this way: when praying, you are basically asking the God that can do everything and anything. This God created the Universe, all the nature that you see around you and YOURSELF (and believe me: as I study more about the human body, sometimes I wish God didn’t show off this much when creating man. It’s so unbelievably and amazingly complex! And hard to revise…). And the best of all: He promises that He will hear what you have to ask and say. Also, He cannot lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m extremely good at remembering things that matter to me. I can recall conversations and situations, from more than 10 years ago, vividly (including people’s expressions and what they were wearing sometimes). I once memorized all my family members’ phone numbers including my 2 uncles and aunt, grandparents and also my best friend’s. It mattered because I was taught that it was important in case something happened.  I know most of my friends and family birthdays without needing a diary. When I was in high-school, I could recall my entire exam and deadlines calendar and I can do that still but to a shorter extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I remember all these things, why do I so often forget to pray for my friends and family that are not saved? Does it matter as much as it should to me? I have to face the reality...sometimes it doesn’t. It should, but it doesn’t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now that we are celebrating Easter, I look at the cross and see a Saviour humble enough to come from His throne in Heaven and die on a cross for His worst enemy, as we heard yesterday at the service. But he was also victorious over death and conquered it on the third day. WOW!&lt;br /&gt;He didn’t die only for me, although He would have done exactly the same if there was only one person that He wanted to save. He wants others to share of the amazing life He can give. And if He wants it, I want it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, fight for what matters to Christ. Your friend’s life matters, if you are a Christian. If you are not – know that your life matters for Christ and that He loves you immensely to the point of coming to die for you. However, because He never sinned, He rose again and is alive today so that you can speak to Him and ask Him to forgive you for what you’ve done wrong and be your Saviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Easter.&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-5928122784721558252?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/5928122784721558252/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=5928122784721558252' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/5928122784721558252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/5928122784721558252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2009/04/fight-for-what-matters.html' title='Fight for what matters'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-1086181088559098240</id><published>2009-03-29T15:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-29T15:46:33.194-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Update</title><content type='html'>Hey!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente cheguei a casa para as ferias da Pascoa! whoop whoop! Estava a ver que nao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de sair de casa em Cardiff as 7.45, apanhar um taxi, esperar, apanhar um comboio, esperar, apanhar outro comboio, check-in (que foi aberto para mim), esperar mais umas boas3-4 horas, embarcar no avião, passar 2 horas sentada a frente da miuda mais irritante de portugal, muito provavelmente do planeta, usar pela primeira vez o meu passaporte electronico e fazer a viagem de carro de Lisboa ate a Marinha - CHEGUEI!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Marcos esta em Londres por isso dormi na cama dele ontem (e muito mais fofinha que a minha... nao sei porque é que ele tem direito ao melhor colchão da casa...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fui à igreja hoje de manhã e dormi a tarde toda outra vez... e esse é o plano para amanhã, também... dormir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É muito fixe estar em casa mas estranho também. Parece que nunca saí (principalmente porque metade da (des)Ordem continua em obras, mesmo depois de meses a fio). Que de alguma maneira o tempo parou quando saí depois do Natal e continua agora. E o mesmo acontece com Cardiff. Quando lá chego parece que nunca saí. Não sei se faz algum sentido mas não arranjo melhor maneira de explicar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, de referir que tivemos de ir ao Modelo de urgencia porque tanto o champo que eu uso, como o gel de banho e a pasta de dentes que uso se revelaram inexistentes nesta casa (ok... se calhar compramos pasteis de nata, tambem...). Nao so isto foi um choque mas como tambem o desaparecimento da minha propria escova de dentes se apresenta como um misterio insondavel. Sera que se fartou de esperar por mim e resolveu ir a sua vida de escova de dentes? sera que alguem pensou "hmmm...so dois rapazes é que usam esta casa de banho, o que é que faz aqui uma escova de dentes cor-de-rosa a destoar? é melhor deitar fora...". nunca niguem saberá...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E depois da minha dissertação sobre a minha preciosa escova de dentes que espero que vos tenha deixado a todos tão intrigados como eu, despeço-me por hoje, meus caros leitores.

Aqui vai:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sim, ainda estou viva meus caros leitores (sim, es tu, mae...). Pensei que estava na hora de actualizar isto...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A vida tem sido bem preenchida. Tenho aulas quase todas as manhas e tardes e so uma noite livre por semana (sexta). E ja estamos na quinta semana do semestre!!! o tempo voa! estou a tentar encontrar o botao de pausa mas nem encontro o comando neste cenario de guerra que o meu quarto se tornou, quanto mais! ja nem consigo ver o chao...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A ultima quarta-feira foi um dia e tanto. Assinei o contrato para a casa do proximo ano! vou viver com mais 5 raparigas. YAY! Nos decidimos (bem, a Becca e eu) que vai ser a casa mais multi-cultural dos arredores se considerar-mos Pais de Gales e Irlanda culturas diferentes. De qualquer forma, a Jo em si propria ja e multi-cultural. Definitivamente uma mistura de sotaques interessantes com duas inglesas, duas galesas (uma que soa muito galesa e outra com uma mistura de escoces, gales, irlandes e americano), uma irlandesa (que definitivamente soa muito irlandesa) e depois eu... bem, vamos poupar-me de vergonha e nao falar do meu sotaque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois tivemos a nossa assembleia geral do GBU. E assustador pensar que ja passou um ano... Se pesquisarem no blog podem encontrar o post acerca da ultima reuniao.&lt;br /&gt;Votamos para a nova lideranca que foi aprovada por unanimidade! Estou em pulgas para ver como Deus vai trabalhar este ano atraves e neste pessoal.. Orem para que, como GBU aqui em Cardiff, possamos estar aptos e motivados para suportar os nossos lideres em oracao e qualquer outra forma que seja necessaria. O trabalho deles nao vai ser nada facil mas e tao encorajante ver a maneira como eles se levantam, dispostos a darem o seu tempo e esforcos para servir o nosso Deus, Todo Poderoso.&lt;br /&gt;Agradecemos a Deus pela maneira como ele trabalhou o ano passado pela lideranca anterior. A maneira como vimos a Sua mao e provisao nao se pode descrever em palavras. E, de novo, este pessoal foi fantastico. A maneira como eles nos lideraram e permaneceram firmes na Palavra mesmo em tempos dificeis foi extraordinario de ver!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entao agora e hora de olhar para tras e lembrar o que Deus fez este ano e agradecer-lhe por isso. Nos oramos pela a lideranca e pelo grupo e Deus respondeu as nossas oracoes de uma maneira fantastica e impressionante! E tambem tempo de olhar para a frente e pedir-Lhe a Sua visao e caminho. Que novamente nos possamos ter os nossos olhos em Cristo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os ultimos dias tem sido preenchidos por estudo para um teste que tenho esta semana (&lt;em&gt;neste momento ja esta feito e correu bem&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje tivemos housegroup. O tema foi a crucificacao de Jesus e foi tao bom trocar ideias sobre o significado da cruz para nos como crentes e tambem para nao crentes. E tao fixe aprender com os outros sobre a verdade que Deus nos revela atraves da Sua palavra!&lt;br /&gt;E foi tao desafiante ouvir um nao crente dizer que, se tudo aquilo de que nos estavamos a falar era verdade (sobre Cristo e o que Ele veio fazer), entao as pessoas deveriam olhar para a cruz que veem em todo o lado (colares, igrejas, quadros, etc) e ver quem morreu la e que morreu pelos meus pecados. Ele disse que as pessoas deviam deixar de associar a cruz com religiao como uma instituicao porque, e passo a citar: "aquele homem morreu pelo que eu fiz. nesse caso, eu teria o martelo na minha mao, meu!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muitas vezes, como crentes, olhamos para a cruz e achamos banal. E so um simbolo que representa a instituicao religiosa como este tipo disse. Mas nao... a cruz foi onde o nosso Salvador morreu por cada mentira que eu digo, por cada pensamento que nao deveria ter, por cada pedacinho de orgulho ou inveja. tudo para que eu pudesse usufruir de uma relacao com o Deus Santo e viver com Ele para sempre. pois... parece que este nao crente foi mais sabio e certo nestas palavras do que eu sou nos meus grandes discursos, muitas vezes. Humbling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta semana vai ser tao cheia ou ainda pior... Ainda bem que tenho conseguido dormir a noite...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, tenho de ir. Josue para acabar antes de amanha e ainda so vou a meio...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;traduzido de Life (CU, AGM and Housegroup)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-1306991005673352884?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/1306991005673352884/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=1306991005673352884' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/1306991005673352884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/1306991005673352884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2009/03/traducao.html' title='traducao'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-7793504346163030072</id><published>2009-02-23T14:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-23T15:39:15.600-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CU'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><title type='text'>Life (CU AGM and housegroup)</title><content type='html'>yes, I'm still alive my dear readers (yeah, that would be you, mum...) so I thought it was about time to update this, really...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life has been really busy. i have lectures pretty much every morning and afternoon and one evening free a week (friday). And it's week 5 of spring already!! where did time go?? i'm desperately trying to find the pause button but I can't even find the remote control in the war scenario my room has become. I can't actually see my floor...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last wednesday was an eventful day. We signed for our new house! I'll be living with 5 other girls. I'm so excited about moving in with these lovely girls! We've decided (well, Becca and I)that it'll be a multi-cultural house if you consider Wales and Ireland as a different culture.Anyway, Jo in herself is already multi-cultural as Becca said very well. It'll definitely be an interesting mixture of accents with two english, two welsh (one that sounds very welsh and another with an interesting mix of scottish, welsh, irish and american), one irish (that def sounds very irish) and then myself that sound very... well let's save me from embarrassement and not talk about my accent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we had our Annual General Meeting for CU. It's scary that the last AGM was more than an year ago! If you look through my old blog posts you'll find the one I wrote about it.&lt;br /&gt;We voted for the new committee that was aproved unanimously! I'm really excited to see how God is gonna move this next year and work in and through these guys. Pray that we, as a CU, may be able and willing to support our leaders in prayer and in anyway we can. these guys' job is not going to be easy but it's so encouraging to see the way they stand up, willing to give their time and effort to serve our Almighty God.&lt;br /&gt;We praise God for the way He worked last year through the committee at the time. The way that He provided was immense... beyond belief. And again, these guys were amazing. The way they lead us and stood firm in the Word even through tough times was such a blessing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now is a time to look back and remember what God did last year and thank Him for that. We prayed for the guys of last year's committee and for the CU and God answered our prayers in an amazing, astounding way! But it's also a time to look forward and ask Him for His guidance this next year. That again we may know nothing but Christ crucified. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The past few days have been filled with work for a test I have this week... scary. I really don't like statistics...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we had housegroup. The subject was the crucifixion of Jesus and it was great just to discuss with those guys the meaning of the cross for us as christians and for non-christians. it's so cool to learn with each other the truth God reveals through His Word.&lt;br /&gt;And it was so challenging to see a non-christian saying that if all we were saying was true (about who Jesus was and what He came to do), then people would have to start looking at the cross, even when represented in necklaces, churches, paintings, etc, and seeing the man that died there and that He died for our sins. He said that people should stop thinking about religion when they see a cross because, and I quote, "that guy died for my stuff. I would have the hammer in my hand, man!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes as Christians we see the cross and it doesn't mean much to us. It's just a symbol to represent religion as an institution as this guy said. but no... the cross was where our Saviour died for every lie that I tell, every bad thought I think, every bit of pride or envy. so that I could have a relationship wit the Holy God and live with Him forever.so yeah... this non-christian guy was wiser and more focused in these words than I am many times. Humbling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This next week will prob be as busy if not worse... I'm thankful I have been able to sleep well at night so I can have the rest I need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right, gotta go, now. Joshua to finish till tomorrow and I'm half way through... eek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-7793504346163030072?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/7793504346163030072/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=7793504346163030072' title='7 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/7793504346163030072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/7793504346163030072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2009/02/life-cu-agm-and-housegroup.html' title='Life (CU AGM and housegroup)'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-6545366955323262515</id><published>2009-02-02T12:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-05-31T14:09:13.511-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mind blowing...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rjL4SZyc5Ko&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rjL4SZyc5Ko&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/btyacVmGszA&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/btyacVmGszA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, after talking a friend he asked me to check Louie Giglio's talks on youtube. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had never heard of this guy but I came across this serie called "How great is our God". And it completely blew my mind...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Above are part 4 and 5 that refer to the wonders of our body "fearfully and wonderfully made" by the Almighty, creator of the universe, all powerful God.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have a look on youtube for the first part (about the universe) or other series.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, FREE week started today and I'm so excited! Loads of leaflets and questionaires going around, street drama and music, lunch time talks and events in the evening. Check the website &lt;a href="http://www.cfcu.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.cfcu.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt; for more information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prayer meeting this morning had loads of people even if it was at 8am. praise God! let us be faithful in prayer for our non-christian friends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;seriously guys... pray. When you pray you are asking and talking to the God that created the universe and everything that is in it. The God that was willing to come down to the tiny and miserable world and die for us. Even better... you have the promise that He'll answer to His people that turn to him.WOW!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ASG&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-6545366955323262515?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/6545366955323262515/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=6545366955323262515' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6545366955323262515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6545366955323262515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2009/02/mind-blowing.html' title='Mind blowing...'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-241412255467401612</id><published>2009-01-16T13:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-16T13:41:12.617-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Get praying!</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed src="http://www.uccf.org.uk/player/930" width="420" height="368" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guys... get excited about this.

It's even more than a story about a baby being born.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Christmas is about Mary and Joseph obeying to the word of God despite the shame, persecution and even death that they could face from society (and this includes kings!). it's about Mary's answer to the angel and the submission that it shows “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Christmas is about God, the "Holy Holy Holy" (Revelation 4:8), the Mighty God, sending His son to this messed up world. It's about the father willing to give the life of His son to allow us, that sin against Him everyday, to come and enjoy eternal life with Him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It's about Jesus Christ, the One that created the entire universe, the One that was with God and was God (John 1:1) being born to this world, becoming one of us but living a perfect life. It's about the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5)walking in will and obedience to a hill out of His own city, carrying His own cross until exhaustion. The Root of David (Revelation 5:5) being mocked, bruised and killed for our transgressions as Isaiah 53:5 says&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"But he was pierced for our transgressions, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;he was crushed for our iniquities; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;and by his wounds we are healed."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Isaiah 53:5) NIV&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;so that if we believe in Him we may have eternal life and not face the eternal death that we deserve for our sins:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(John 3:16) NIV&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;About the Wonderful One rising again, victorious over death, seating now at the "right hand of Majesty in heaven" (Hebrews 1:3)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;And the most amazing promise that He will come back in his Father's glory:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;and then he will reward each person according to what he has done."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Matthew 16:27) NIV&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;So, if you are a christian, this should blow you mind! These are amazing news! We can have in Christ that was born in this earth, that we celebrate at Christmas, the assurance of a life spent with God. God sees in Him His perfect life and our sins are forgotten.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;If you are not a Christian, you are not in that position, yet. You are dead because of your the things you do wrong (sins). Even if you think you are a good person, you are not perfect and the Holy, Just God has to punish you as He can't live with sin. You'll spend eternity without God.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;But He loves you so much. He created you. he designed and planned you carefully. And He says that if you believe in His son, Jesus Christ and that He came to die for you and to be punished in your place. (John 3:16)And you repent for all the things you have done against God and ask Him to forgive you for that, He will welcome you back and he guaranties eternal life with Him. You'll live with Him forever. I'm not saying you'll be perfect (yet) and your life will be easy. But He will be always there to help you. That's what His word, the Bible, says. If you have any questions and you know any christians, ask them. I'm sure they will be more than happy to try and help you. If you don't, leave me a comment and I'll try to help in what I can.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;This is the true meaning of Christmas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;ASG&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;p.s.: good video &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FtpDQ8Qgm0&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FtpDQ8Qgm0&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-8459962016221615143?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/8459962016221615143/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=8459962016221615143' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/8459962016221615143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/8459962016221615143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2008/12/true-meaning-of-christmas.html' title='The true meaning of Christmas'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-6689937733378230275</id><published>2008-10-18T11:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-18T12:28:13.888-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What's up?</title><content type='html'>So, long time no see for you all!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, i know...it's all my fault, I haven't writen for ages... shame on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so, what happened since i last wrote? LOADS! I've been incredibly busy for the last 3 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;I have heaps of deadlines for uni, plus lectures but that's not new.&lt;br /&gt;Today I spent the day working lying in my bed which resulted in a terrible back pain. And I still have loads to do!! Arrrggg...&lt;br /&gt;I have books that i want to read sitting in my shelf for ages. Just finished "What to do with these musicians?" by Marcus Witt and I'm hoping to read "Too busy not to pray" by Bill Hybels that Rach lent me next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then CU. This is probably the area I'm the most excited about. We had 229 people in the first meeting. I think in the last few weeks we had less people there but still a really good number. Pray that people would come along. We are looking at "Distinctive living" at the main meetings. Last one was about sex, drugs and alcohol and how the christian should face these issues. Quite good.&lt;br /&gt;I'm also one of the leaders of housegroup this year. We are going through Mark's gospel and it has been amazing!! There is so much to learn about Jesus' life and having time to get stuck into the Bible and study the One that came to save us is such a privilege!! This is part of the UCCF evangelistic project "FREE". It's all about Mark's gospel and Jesus. In february, we'll have access to the "FREE" Gospels to hand out to our friends and make the commitment to reading it with them! I've seen the gospels and they are really good! I'm so excited about this!!!&lt;br /&gt;We had prayer meetings everyday last week to pray for FREE and on wednesday night we had a night of prayer after CU which was amazing and really challenging! Each passing day I'm more aware of how important prayer is. And what a priviledge we have to talk with the True, Living God, the King of Kings!!&lt;br /&gt;One of the main focus of CU this year is to encourage accountability and me and Jo are going through Daniel together. I had read Daniel before but it's amazing how everytime you read it you find interesting facts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow is church - it's crazy the ammount of engagements that happened during summer (in church and CU apparently)!! And we have 3 new babies in church! So cool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right, better be back to heart connexins. I have a group project/essay to do and I'm PROPERLY late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-6689937733378230275?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/6689937733378230275/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=6689937733378230275' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6689937733378230275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6689937733378230275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2008/10/whats-up.html' title='What&apos;s up?'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-1694513106798223326</id><published>2008-09-25T05:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T05:50:21.145-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Unbelievable</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SNuIHGfXVYI/AAAAAAAAADc/8QxzZ6lQVk8/s1600-h/Image252.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249939446213072258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SNuIHGfXVYI/AAAAAAAAADc/8QxzZ6lQVk8/s320/Image252.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SNuIHBJ03_I/AAAAAAAAADk/FM9Po67nOpk/s1600-h/Image253.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249939444780556274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SNuIHBJ03_I/AAAAAAAAADk/FM9Po67nOpk/s320/Image253.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yesterday we had our first CU main meeting.

No sabado a tarde tivemos reuniao de oracao na igreja durante 4 horas sobre o ano que vem. Depois do jantar, aventuramo-nos pelas ruas de cardiff com o Al a conduzir (shock...) a procura do sitio que acolheria a festa dos 22 anos de Dave Scott, a casa de Dave e Naomi Webster. Depois de quase termos ido a Port Talbot e voltado, la encontramos o sitio e seguiram-se 2 horas de Buzz versao Hollywood merecidamente dominadas pelo agora aclamado guru do cinema - Dave Webster. Ganhou sem dar hipotese...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Domingo foi dia de igreja de manha. Almoco em casa dos Metheringham.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por volta das 5.30, eu and my NIish favourite person, transportamos todas as coisas que ela tinha deixado no meu quarto durante o verao (entre os seus pertences encontrava-se uma casa de bonecas ja referida num post anterior) ate a sua novissima casa...ou pelo menos tentamos porque aquilo era pesado...depois de muito esforco, trocas, paragens, etc...la chegamos sas e salvas e com os potes do ikea ainda inteiros (assim com os talheres a condizer - afinal de contas OCD e mesmo assim). Ainda nessa noite tive oportunidade de ver Over the Edge!fun fun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje (ou melhor, ontem), depois de uma manha numa quest por resolver o meu problema com a internet para vos poder escrever este post, tive de ir a universidade resolver algo relacionado com uma das cadeiras. Seguiu-se uma tarde bem passada e regada a cha britanico com a Jo que tinha acabado de chegar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E sempre dificil sair de casa mas e bom estar de volta e voltar a encontrar todas estas pessoas que tem um papel enorme na minha vida, tambem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beijos e Abracos&lt;br /&gt;ASG (from a surprisingly dry and warm Cardiff)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-1201807721260666080?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/1201807721260666080/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=1201807721260666080' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/1201807721260666080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/1201807721260666080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2008/09/back-in-cardiff.html' title='Back in Cardiff'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-1583870150737179345</id><published>2008-06-02T07:08:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-02T08:01:31.855-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Holidays</title><content type='html'>Hey lovely people,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;writing again in english as almost all my portuguese readers now have me in person to ask whatever they like and won't need to read this blog to be updated about my life (as anyone would want to be updated about my boring life...maybe my mum, haha).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so I left cardiff on thursday. it was sad to leave all my friends for the long period of 3months...I'm still trying not to think about how long it is very often...but it was amazing to see all my portuguese friends and family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to have a proper goodbye with people that are important to me and that I consider became some of my best friends during this year. Was sad I didn't have time to do it with everyone I wanted to but, anyway...So I tried to organize and meet some friends on wednesday. It turned out to be a great but mad day...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woke up at 8.00 that morning and made a deal with myself - I would not cry that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After doing laundry, packing and tidying my room, went to meet Al and we walked down to uni as I had some questions to ask in the undergraduate office. After asking the refered questions (and finding out our walking was useless as they were, apparently, dum questions), we went for lunch and had a great time having deep and random conversations as usual.&lt;br /&gt;Then, we headed up home again. Al left me at my hall and I had a quick shower before meeting Rach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Met Rachael at 3pm and, after dropping some of her stuff in senghenydd (have no idea if the spelling is right...it's very likely that it isn't), we entered a new coffee shop that had free cake when you buy any hot drink!!! Paradise...&lt;br /&gt;After what we called our "mother and daughter" date, went to talybont to pick stuff she was going to leave at mine's during summer and we met Jo to have dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then,we met Al and Annie and walked down to CU. It was supposed to be CU in the park week but due to the rain that didn't stop ALL day (we were in Wales in the end...)it was at "The Gate" as usual.&lt;br /&gt;Great fun was had and Jo passed me the "gummy bear rule" that I started following for no apparent reason - you have to eat two gummy bears at a time. you *can not* eat just one.&lt;br /&gt;When we were about to leave (me and Jo), Rach gave me an envelope and made me promise I wouldn't open it until she said goodbye. As a good Christian daughter, I obeyed. I said goodbye to everyone and me and Jo walked home. Was almost crying when me and Jo hugged and said goodbye but I managed not to. was very impressed with myself.&lt;br /&gt;I got into my flat and finally opened the envelope rach had given me. I read the card and the deal I had made with myself that morning was quickly broken...&lt;br /&gt;Finished packing and went to bed (not before playing with sylvanian family for 5 min)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning, left my flat at 6.45 and called the taxi. Al turned up running, late as usual, and, very kindly, took me to the train station where I got my train to Bristol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a nice and smooth flight, got home at 16.00 that afternoon and spent most of thrusday and friday sleeping. Saturday was chuch day away and it was awesome to see everyone again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting volunteering tomorrow at a church day-care centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm having some very needed rest and enjoying the confort of my home. However, I'm missing people in Cardiff quite terribly...ah well. I'm looking forward to everything that's gonna happen this summer and can't wait to see what God has for me during this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much love&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-1583870150737179345?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/1583870150737179345/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=1583870150737179345' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/1583870150737179345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/1583870150737179345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2008/06/holidays.html' title='Holidays'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-8520022121870463237</id><published>2008-05-20T08:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-20T08:28:38.778-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Biochem and Microbiology are done.

YAY! Sim, eu AINDA sei falar portugues razoavelmente e nao, eu nao tenho sotaque ingles quando falo outra lingua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, o que e que se tem passado?? hmmm...nada. Tenho estudado,estudado, feito relatorios, praticas, GBU, Hall Group, testes, mini-testes, testes para os quais estudei desalmadamente e no fim descobri que nao contavam para nota,Igreja, estudado, etc etc. Vida interessante, nao?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A parte mais interessante desde que cheguei deve ter sido o takeaway chines+musica da disney+musica de criancas em geral e o passeio de 5 horas de ontem que me deixou completamente de rastos fisicamente...Mas foi util para afastar a culpa de nao fazer exercicio durante, pelo menos, as proximas 3 semanas. O tempo esteve fantastico e os parques e lagos que vimos valeram a pena (ver fotos)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Igualmente importante o jogo de futebol Cardiff Uni Christin Union vs Swansea Uni CU...Uma palavra: abada...Demos 5 a 0 aos meninos de sotaque esquisito e eles nao jogaram nada.

I'm writing it in English cause it's how my head is working now and I can't be bother to translate things now as I am almost falling asleep in front of my laptop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So back in Cardiff after 3 wonderful weeks in the "discoveries land". Really nice to see some of you guys although I havent seen some people I was looking forward to which made me sad.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, thank you for all the care and love when I was there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cardiff is in the same place and looking the same except for the sun that decided to appear but that's going away this friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just came back from CU meeting which was quite good. Peter Baker (yeah, the guy that saved my mum's housemate from dying in the sea - what a tiny small world), senior pastor at Highfields spoke about about suffering and Job. Very good indeed! This was followed by tea and cookies which are much apreciated by me (specially when I'm so hungry as I was).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing we found out this monday was that Dave (friend of mine)was leaving this uni and his Biology course to go and learn Teaching to special needs kids. A sad notice 'cause he is a great guy, but will come to visit :) With this, some housing stuff may change but you'll be informed when it is definitive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right, and I think it is it! Loads of work to get on to as usual and exams coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope its everything great in the sunny (oh wait...)/ cloudy land&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lv&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: Just a quick reference to you, guys. It worths to call the radio station when there is some contest goin on. One of the things I found out this week. Mr. Sabbo called and won a ticket to Estoril Open and got to see Federer...such luck annoys me!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-3648685045470730632?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/3648685045470730632/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=3648685045470730632' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/3648685045470730632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/3648685045470730632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2008/04/first-entry-after-hols.html' title='First entry after hols'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-5887101609947444537</id><published>2008-03-19T04:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-19T04:51:30.762-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Free from assignments!

Love you all guys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second: you may be wondering ( I know you are and if not...just wonder now)"why is she writing in English again?" Well, the answer is:don't know!&lt;br /&gt;My first post in English was written a couple of months ago when some people almost cried because they wanted me to write in Shakespeare's language. Well, here you have it again.&lt;br /&gt;Well, as some of you said I am becoming "Britanized". Let's make a point clear here: I am not! However there are some things that I am adopting, really... I thing the most shocking one is that I now actually take milk in my tea!! Yep, I know that seems weird but it actually tastes nice (don't try to have milk with mint tea, though...it's just awful). And I'm having about 3 teas a day, in average (shocking!). Oh, and apparently I now have a british accent (according to David who suddenly seems to have developed the strongest american accent ever!) and many people make fun of me because of this...ok, ok, I'll stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, moving on...(what was I supposed to write about...hmmm..oh yeah)my life in Wales. Life is going very well!!&lt;br /&gt;This term I have done less work (true) but I'm much happier! I am actually getting to know people better and just hanging out with friends. People have been awesome, really!I think I'll have really good friends here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About CU...well this was one of the most commented things on the last post which is really great!It's really good that people realise that we have to do our part! Not that God would not do His will if we didn't. It is written that even rocks could do it. But He has chosen us to reach others and think: what a privilege that is!!!We just have to trust that He will save and no one is too far away from Him.&lt;br /&gt;We had AGM last week and voted the new committee.Our prayer is that they may continue the work the last committee has done and help us serve God as He wants to be served.&lt;br /&gt;As it was read at the AGM :"For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified."(1 Corinthians 2:2) That's what we have to do: know nothing except Christ crucified..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could not finish this post without speaking about the Kids Party!! Yep, that's right! Rachael, Rebecca, Sophie and Mark organized a party for freshers and hallgroup leaders on saturday (St.David's day, apparently) where there was a boucy-castle (yeah, cry now!mwahahah...I am imagining your jealous - in the most godly way possible - faces right now), kids games, food, etc. So much fun! Just felt 5 years younger!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right...so I'm sitting here with my cup of tea (yep, just had one), the Martini's Applications Manual open on page 170 - "COPD: Asthma, Bronchitis and Emphysema" and an essay of 1600 words to write, trying to think about what else do I have to tell you...Oh! Quick reference to last Sunday’s evening sermon. Dai Hankey preached the third sermon of King Jesus series: Crucified King. Really good. Next week it will be about Evolution vs Creation (btw, heard that Adauto Lourenco book was really good: read it!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm...I think that's pretty much it, really. It was a beautiful sunny day in Cardiff today so rejoice with me!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugs&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: You know what I think about comments...

Aquele nervoso miudinho (que deixou de ser miudinho a medida que a data de saber os resultados se ia aproximando) cada vez que a palavra "exames" era proferida, o "ainda nao sei, so sei as notas daqui a 3 semanas" como resposta em praticamente todas as conversas que tinha,o esperar intimamente com todas as minhas forcas que passasse mas ao mesmo tempo ter sempre aquela perguntinha: "e se chumbar?", tudo isto nao tem mais razao de ser...Ja esta! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Quatro disciplinas estao feitas: Physiology I, Human Structure I, Animal Biology e Cell Biology. As notas nao foram brilhantes mas eu nao tinha expectativas nao-realisticas quanto a esse assunto. O ter passado ja me chega nesta fase do campeonato.Agora e trabalhar e esperar que se passe o mesmo nos exames de final de ano...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas outras coisas acontecem que nao exames...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O GBU esta em fase de mudanca de committee e toda a lideranca, de alguma forma, apos uma Mission Week cheia de actividades e que surtiu o efeito pretendido: 3 pessoas foram salvas e muitas dezenas ouviram o Evangelho. Entre palestras,concertos, reunioes, "Grill a Christian" (sessao em que nao-crentes podiam perguntar as questoes que tivessem quanto ao cristianismo a um painel da direcao do GBU).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quanto a este ultimo evento (no qual nao estive presente mas fiz questao de me informar de como tinha corrido),aparentemente houve uma intervencao a salientar. Uma das pessoas a assistir perguntou se os Cristaos achavam que se alguem nao acreditasse em Cristo seria condenado ao inferno. A resposta foi sim, numa versao resumida. Este rapaz nao-crente entao disse:&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;" If I knew that I could stop you [refering to a friend of his on the panel] being knifed tomorrow by some guy, knowing where you live, I would do everything I could to stop this from happening. I would protect you and look out for you. And yet, you Christians believe that those who don't believe will spend forever in Hell, being tormented and tortured forever. If I thought that was the case I wouldn't be able to sleep at night, worried about those I love. I would spend every moment I could, every opportunity I could to warn people about this..."&lt;br /&gt;The response from Pete Evans (presente no painel de respostas) came "You should run the CU mate." (como disse eu nao estive presente entao estes ultimos paragrafos sao uma citacao do blog de Rachael Davison - cheers Rach!)&lt;br /&gt;Como podem perceber isto atordoa um bocado...Estas afirmacoes feitas por uma pessoa que nao conhece Cristo ainda torna a situacao mais propicia a fazer corar muitos cristaos, incluindo muitos de nos na Christian Union. O painel desculpou-se aquele rapaz em nome da CU pelos nossos falhancos nesta area... Shocking...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continuando com a CU... Como disse o committee esta a mudar, os hall group leaders estao a mudar, as equipas estao a mudar, etc...Estamos numa fase de mudanca...Votacoes, reunioes, AGM, etc...Mas esta tudo a correr bem e confiamos que a nova lideranca ira continuar o bom trabalho da anterior... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ontem a reuniao foi sobre Tiago 2:14-26, boas obras e fe...Nao foi bem o meu estilo...O pregador era, nao sei bem como dizer, ligeiramente violento... Algumas primeiras frases que disse foram do genero: "Pela minha experiencia a maior parte de voces, quando morrer irao para o inferno", "A maior parte do vosso committee ira para o inferno e das pessoas que estiveram a liderar o louvor tambem poucas sao salvas","Era preferivel que estivessem neste momento bebados e a dormir em algum lado na rua do que estarem aqui". Claro que depois explicou e atenuou um pouco as suas afirmacoes mas foi chocante durante toda a mensagem...E continuou na mesma onda...Eu compreendo que muitas vezes como crentes precisemos de ser "acordados" mas certas afirmacoes que fez nao foram razoaveis a meu ver. As opinioes divergiram quanto a pregacao...Alguns acharam que foi bom e desafiante, outros foram deitados (demasiado) a baixo...eu enquadro-me num plano intermedio...Em resumo, foi sem duvida uma pregacao forte. A minha opiniao:as coisas que ele disse sim, a maneira como as disse nao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E pronto..os meus dias tem sido passados entre relatorios, praticas,CU, Geraint Probert CD, coro (estamos a cantar Brahms - demais) e sair com os amigos...Dentro do normal agitado,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E pronto, digam la que nao tinham saudades destes posts enormes??

Espero que esteja tudo bem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Headlines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;1: Neste endereco podem encontrar os videos do concerto de natal do GBU no qual eu toquei com a orquestra. Foi um optimo concerto e como varias pessoas tinham perguntado se iria ser gravado ora aqui esta. Nao tenho a certeza se vao conseguir ver atraves do link se nao estiverem registrados no facebook. Experimentem. Se nao conseguirem ver digam qualquer coisa e e eu tento arranjar uma maneira de vos fazer chegar as gravacoes das musicas. &lt;a href="http://cardiffuk.facebook.com/video/?oid=2204012673"&gt;http://cardiffuk.facebook.com/video/?oid=2204012673&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2: Neste endereco esta um video do genial Ricardo Araujo Pereira no contexto do encerramento das urgencias e da relacao Bombeiro-INEM. Mais uma vez genial. Vejam a descricao do video para encontrarem o link para a noticia real tambem ela lamentavelmente hilariante. Passado algum tempo dei-me conta de que realmente o facto de os nomes Mafamude e Canidelo me serem familiares tinha a ver com o facto de conhecer gente de la (mas podem crer que me levou para ai uma hora a tentar lembrar-me o que e que se passava em Mafamude-pra mim isso e  tudo Gaia). Portanto beijinho especial pros Monteiro e Fonseca - Mafamude e Canidelo/Grijo, respectivamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=s5n9jPQsRPk"&gt;http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=s5n9jPQsRPk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3: Este blog tem andado muito parado de comentarios, pessoal.. Vamos la... Nao tem piada tar para aqui a escrever se depois nao sei o que acharam. E sintam-se livres para elogiar, criticar, gozar ou ate mesmo insultar estes posts.

Depois de intimada veementemente a faze-lo, volto a postar neste espaco. Estas ultimas 3 semanas foram de ferias e estive em casa, pelo que grande parte das pessoas que leem o blog estiveram comigo e deu pa contar as novidades (ou nao...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nao posso prometer regularidade nos posts porque agora e tempo de exames e e mesmo assim... Ou estudo, ou chumbo (convenhamos que a ultima opcao nao seria o ponto alto do ano, por assim dizer...). E como nao sao acontecimentos contrarios (a probabilidade de um, menos probabilidade do outro nao da zero - Probabilidades Matematica 12... nao desejo a ninguem) posso estudar e chumbar na mesma e tambem, mas com uma probabilidade a raiar o -1 ja, posso nao estudar e passar (naaah... nao me parece).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bem, tenho a dizer que o meu primeiro exame e dia 15 de Cell Biology. A disciplina e uma grande seca, o que nao quer dizer que seja facil (nao quer dizer, meeeeeesmo). Montes de coisinhas para decorar, ate ao mais infimo pormenor que nao lembra a ninguem (nao vou especificar nenhuma porque ha realmente muitos).  Os exames que se seguem, Physiology I, Human Structure I e Animal Biology sao de disciplinas mais interessantes mas sao tambem mais dificeis (acho eu). Ou seja, avizinham-se duas semanas ligeiramente stressantes (pronto, pronto razoavelmente stressantes...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora tenho de ir a faculdade carimbar o meu dicionario Portugues-Ingles, Ingles-Portugues para o poder usar nos exames... O unico inconveniente e a chuva, o vento, o ceu cinzento carregado,  o frio de rachar, as pocas de agua,os carros que passam por cima das pocas de agua e molham os transiuntes, os Autocarros que passam por cima das pocas de agua e molham os transiuntes... enfim... uma pequena quantidade de coisas que me fazem ter que ganhar coragem para sair de casa. Ah, e tambem tenho de ir a farmacia, O2 (telemoveis - patrocina o Arsenal, acho eu, para quem gosta de futebol) e a estacao de comboios (penso que estou a ser ousada de mais, mas pronto...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, fui&lt;br /&gt;Beijos e Abracos&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: Por favor comentem....

All right?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Boletim meteorologico: Hoje o dia apresentou-se com elevado grau de pluviosidade e bastante ventoso durante o dia. A noite, as temperaturas baixaram e o ceu ficou limpo, nao deixando contudo de se verificar uma grande ventania...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;A minha semana correu bem mas no entanto foi muito cansativa. Tive um teste de Cell Biology na quarta feira, pratica na segunda ( com consequente relatorio diabolico para fazer...) entre aulas, tutorials, etc...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Neste momento estou aqui a comecar com uma ligeira dor de cabeca devido ao ESTUPIDO (nao consigo conter a minha raiva e revolta... e demasiado forte!!) ALARME DE INCENDIO!!!!! Aquele aparelho que deveria salvar vidas esta a reduzi-las!! Com a quantidade de vezes que ele dispara por dia, o susto que causa e consequente arritmia por uns minutos, o barulho que faz que conduz a perda auditiva momentanea e o stress que causa, todos nos estamos a perder horas de vida!! POR FAVOR CALEM O ALARME DE INCENDIO!! E que ainda por cima nunca a sequer inicio de fogo... basta so alguem estar a cozinhar e abrir a porta da cozinha por 30 segundos que o alarme dispara logo... E se e irritante... BAAAAHHHH!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Depois deste momento de expansao do meu verdadeiro eu, reprimido ha anos, Tenho que referir 3 compras importantes de hoje.... Quica as compras mais importantes da minha estadia aqui, ate agora... (tirando o pc e o telemovel). passei na HMV (loja enorme, de 3 andares com tudo o que possam imaginar em termos de cds, jogos, dvds, etc..) e adquiri "The John Rutter Collection" (que me vai ser bastante util para o coro) e nao um, nao dois, mas tres cds "Andrew Lloyd Webber - Musical Hits" com temas de "The Phantom of the Opera" e "Jesus Christ Superstar" entre outros... Sim fans, podem ficar extasiados quando eu vos digo que estes 3 cds apenas custaram 6 libras (talvez tenha a ver com a qualidade dos mesmos... hummm...)!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mas a compra das compras... a cereja em cima do bolo.... chocolate derretido em cima do bolo (esta ja e da minha autoria...)... consideradas pelos grandes entendidos da area (ok, foi so um) "Genial!" e "bem lindos pa miuda" ....... AS NOVAS CONVERSE ALL-STAR!! Sao realmente geniais como se pode ver na imagem!! Fans das Converse, invegem...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bem, por hoje e tudo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Beijos e Abracos &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;ASG&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;P.S.: O grande entendido em Converse All-star e o meu estimado Pedro D.

Tem sido bastante divertido observar os britanicos a tentarem ler a minha Biblia em Portugues... Mais engracado ainda tem sido ve-los a fazerem gestos ao ler, como se estivessem a falar italiano...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Normalmente comeco o meu post falando do tempo em Cardiff. Como ja passou uma semana desde que postei pela ultima vez, uma descricao do estado do tempo ao longo da semana tomar-me-ia tempo que definitivamente nao tenho... Alem disso um boletim meteorologico serve bem para estes casos... A unica coisa realmente chocante e que as 17 horas esta escuro como o breu!!! E horrivel ver o dia acabar as 5 em Outubro... por este andar em dezembro vou-me deitar depois do almoco (resta saber quando e que estudo)!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Antes de continuar quero-vos agradecer, caros leitores, pela adesao que tem tido este humilde blog caseiro... Descobri recentemente (mais precisamente ontem) que este blog e lido no Reino Unido, em Portugal e, imaginem so, na Africa do Sul... Espantoso... Alem do mais parece que agora muito mais gente le estes posts na minha igreja e familia, por isso tenho de ter uma linguagem bastante respeitavel (nada de "k" e "W", etc.)...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sem duvida um dos marcos desta semana foi a minha relacao amor-odio por parasitas. Ok, eu tenho a perfeita nocao que isto e muito estranho... Mas aprendi que os parasitas sao seres extremamente "inteligentes" (nao e o termo correcto mas eu ja explico) e fascinantes. Por exemplo: existe um parasita (com um nome que nao me lembro) que so se pode reproduzir na ovelha. Acontece que normalmente os ovos deste ser sao colocados num caracol. Ora entao o que e que a criatura faz: passa do caracol para a relva onde tenta encontrar um trabalhadora formiga. ja na formiga, migra para o cerebro da mesma, alterando-lhe o comportamento de forma a que ela (que costuma andar junto ao solo humido onde e improvavel de ser comida por predadores) suba ate a superficie da relva para ser mais provavel o ser comida pela ovelha. Assim, o parasita podera ser transmitido para a ovelha onde se podera reproduzir. Fantastico!! Mas onde esta a parte do odio? E simples: os parasitas sao nojentos. E a maior parte de vos nao sabe o quanto...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Depois desta palestra sobre parasitas e de referir a reuniao de hallgroups a que fui na segunda feira. E um ministerio da CU onde os estudantes tem reunioes nas suas proprias residencias. Fui convidade pelo lider, Geraint (um estudante de 2 ano cuja foto esta acima que fea um miniconcerto na reuniao da semana passada - reuniao de evangelismo- ele toca mesmo bem) para ir ao hallgroup dele. Jogamos a Chinese Laundry (que explicarei detalhadamente noutra oportunidade) e depois tivemos a Pudding Party (muitas sobremesas....)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Bem, estou atrasada para o coro... Estamos bem avancados nas duas pecas mas esta e a altura em que o maestro "freaks out" com o tempo...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Por hoje e tudo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;beijos e abracos&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;ASG &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-6631239136810535708?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/6631239136810535708/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=6631239136810535708' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6631239136810535708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6631239136810535708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/amor-odio.html' title='Amor-odio'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/RyobvOK6LgI/AAAAAAAAABk/A9NHo-9r5a8/s72-c/Img008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-7032543185357391886</id><published>2007-10-23T07:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-23T08:04:49.014-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What a fast month!!</title><content type='html'>Heya folks!! How are you doing??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s before a beautiful and sunny day that I’m writing to you today. But I have also the conscience that is absolutely FREEZING outside. No problem... Our flat is always “boiling”...&lt;br /&gt;Ok... you may be wondering: “Why the hell is she writing in English??” It was not my idea at all. I’m just answering to what some readers asked me: “Please write a post in English...” Well... here I am...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can’t believe that I have been here for a month by now... It all happened so fast!! It is really strange and weird at the beginning to live alone in a foreign country, with another language and cultures but I am getting used to that and I am enjoying everything that is going on around me, so far. The University, the Church, Christian Union (it’s unbelievable... we have been so many in the main meeting that we had to look for a larger room so we could all be seated!! The big thing is that we were in a very large room ALREADY... there were people seating on the floor or standing during the whole meeting – about two hours. It’s just amazing the number of people that have been coming along to the studies!!), the choir (we are many, too, but the room is huge!!)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People have been great, so far!! My flatmates are very funny and... what can I say... active. Although sometimes the sink is a great mountain of plates and glasses (when I arrived today, Sam was doing his washing up and we now have a great, clean and empty kitchen sink...), the fridge is very well organized, actually. It’s a victory!!! In the church students have a very warm reception and I am feeling home, there. It is very similar to my church and there are really nice people that work with us (students) and make us feel like an individual that they want to know and care and not only as a part of a group that comes to the services every Sunday... The CU is a great place to meet other Christian students and you would be surprised for the number of “course mates” that I have found there!! There were about 250 students in the meetings and they are all great!! Everyone talks to you even if they don’t know you at all. I have met many people there, so far, from different ages and years...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The uni is going very well so far but now I have lots of coursework to do... Practical reports, essays, assessments, etc... Everything requires a great amount of study and dedication...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is what I’m gonna do now... Cell Biology Practical Report: here I go!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kisses&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: For those who are English experts, I apologise for any spelling mistakes or grammar mistakes. It was only one month of real practice...

Uma pessoa nunca se entende com isto!!! No ultimo post dei conta da chuva "como deve ser" que tivemos. Pois bem, no dia seguinte passa-se isto:&lt;br /&gt;Como tinha apanhado uma grande molha na terca feira disse para mim propria assim que acordei na quarta: "O S.Pedro (grande incorrecao teologica- mil perdoes a todos os pastores ou seminaristas que estao a ler isto) quer-me tramar.... ta a ver se fico doente... Entao 'pera la que eu ja te digo..." E nisto equipo-me toda. Casacao impermeavel, chapeu de chuva, capuz, botas, etc dizendo para mim propria "ah ah ah sou muito esperta". Aparentemente nao era assim tao esperta... E que antes de sair de casa esqueci-me de olhar pela janela... resultado: chego la abaixo e deparo-me com um sol radioso e muito, muito frio... Toca a voltar para cima mudar a indumentaria...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O dia de aulas que se seguiu foi absolutamente normal (Animal Biology, Cell Biology e Biochemistry and Molecular Biology). Depois de um almoco no KFC (chicken popcorn - experimentem se estao fartos de mac donalds!!) fui as compras. Sai da Primarck com umas botas, umas sapatilhas e uma mala. Nada mal...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vim para casa estudar. Este comportamento esta-se a tornar um habito, o pao nosso de cada dia, diria mesmo... Eu ate gosto de estudar, mas quando chega a um ponto em que ja nao se sabe se e o sodio ou o potassio que inicia o potencial de accao ou para que raio e que e precisa a equacao de Nerst, a coisa nao tem muita piada... Ha que parar, ir fazer outra coisa qualquer (no meu caso foi lavar duas camisolas a mao, yey, entusiasmante!!! E que nem da para ter nenhuma aventura como a da maquina de lavar... E so encher o lavatorio...) e podem crer que durante essa coisa que estao a fazer vao-se lembrar para que e que serve a equacao de Nerst... mas pronto, ja estou a divagar...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respondendo agora a alguns comentarios:&lt;br /&gt;1 - Fui eu, sim, que tirei as fotos. No telemovel, alias...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2- O Pedro Afonso a quem dei os parabens e o meu priminho que fez ontem 4 anos (ou serao 3??... ja nao sei... que desnaturada...)!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 - Peco imensa desculpa se nao dei o devido valor ao meu ultimo post, o primeiro de UMA (sim sofia, foi so uma, nao foram "umas brutas semanas") semana... Agora o tempo comeca a escassear... Alem disso  as coisas interessantes para contar sao poucas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abaixo vai uma foto do meu apartamento e dos meus colegas de apartamento. Nao tenho mais nenhuma com mais gente, so individuais...

Depois de 3 semanas naquele vai nao vai, em ameacas, com aquela chuva miudinha que nem se sabe se e chuva ou nevoeiro matinal..... Finalmente choveu como deve ser!! Eu nao gosto de chuva por si so... mas quando e aquele tipo de pluviosidade "indecisa" transtorna-me os nervos!!! Nao sabes se deves se abres o chapeu ou nao: porque se nao abrires ficas encharcado mas se abres pareces um tolo de chapeu no meio de uma multidao de pessoas de manga curta e chinelos... enfim... Se e para chover, entao que chova como deve de ser (ate rima e tudo)!! Mas, embora esteja para aqui a enaltecer a pluviosidade galesa isto nao apaga o desconforto de chegar a casa encharcada (tambem nao se podia esperar melhor quando se vai para a rua cheia de pocas de agua de allstars calcadas...). nada que um banhinho quente nao resolva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Novidade das novidades... Estou doente!!! nao se enganem pelos pontos de exclamacao... eu nao estou contente por isso... Chamam-lhe a "Freshers Flu", traduzindo "Gripe do Caloiro"... Ao que parece e frequente os caloiros apanharem uma gripe quando chegam a cardiff por causa das diferencas climatericas... nada de grave... So espero que a minha avo nao veja o blog senao manda-me ja um contentor de medicamentos para prevenir a pneumonia..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje tive o meu primeiro teste. Foi sobre a tecnica DNA fingerprint, usada para testes de paternidade e descobrir suspeitos de crimes. Com esta descricao devem estar a pensar: "Uau, a Soraia descobriu um criminoso!!! Deve ser super entusiasmante!!" Se nao estao a pensar, pensem agora... dou-vos um tempinho..... ....... ..... ...... ...... ...... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... .... ...... ...... ok ja chega. Nao amigos, eu nao descobri um criminoso. O exercicio consistia em: tendo a informacao genetica de uma femea de dunnock, de dois machos e 4 crias, teriamos de identificar que crias pertenciam a que machos. Sim, porque a vida reprodutiva dos dunnocks tem que se lhe diga... A femea e "possuidora" de dois machos... Entao basicamente tinhamos que fazer risquinhos a lapis de cor, num papel vegetal, por cima das bandas escuras do patrimonio genetico... Depois faziamos umas contitas e va... tinhamos o problema resolvido... tenho a dizer que 3 das crias pertenciam ao macho beta e apenas uma ao macho alfa... pobre coitado...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas o principal objectivo do meu post de hoje e publicar algumas fotos de cardiff e da minha universidade que estao acima do texto!!

O estado do tempo apresenta-se com ceu em geral aberto mas algumas nuvens tentam encobrir o sol de vez em quando...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O facto de nao ter escrito nada sobre sexta e sabado tem uma razao muito simples: nao aconteceu nada de especial... Estudei, estudei, estudei, fui as compras, estudei, preparei as praticas,estudei, fiz umas massas instantaneas (daquelas que quer tenham molho de queijo ou cogumelos sabem exactamente ao mesmo...) e..... adivinhem.... lavei roupa (gotch' ya) e voltei a estudar. Gostava de vos dizer que houve algo extraordinario com a lavagem da roupa como algo tingido ou encolhido mas nao houve... Tudo simplesmente secante... Nem um precalcozinho na maquina de secar nem nada... Que tristeza para uma pessoa que estava a espera de ter uma verdadeira guerra civil (acho que nao se pode dizer isto quando se fala de uma maquina de lavar) com este electrodomestico que tanto tem ajudado as donas de casa deste pais (que o diga a minha mae que teria de lavar a roupa de 5 pessoas - e isto inclui dois rapazes em idade digamos que muito activa- a mao...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Queria so fazer uma mencao ao facto de no sabado termos tido a nossa primeira reuniao de jovens interactiva... Foi interessante porque foi de oracao e a qualidade do som nao era a melhor. Sim, devido a velocidade reduzida da ligacao ouvi o grupo de jovens a cantar o "Em Tuas maos" em versao remix... Os risos cortados tambem sao uma coisa interessante de se ouvir...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ontem foi mais um dia passado quase por inteiro na igreja. Pareco uma completa beata... Desra vez almocei em casa do Matt e da Jo, os trabalhadores com estudantes da igreja. Depois do culto da noite tivemos outra vez o "After Eight", reuniao de estudantes. Tal como na semana passada foi realmente muito bom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje tive aulas de manha (a bioquimica persegue-me praticamente todos os dias) e a tarde vou ter 3 horas de pratica, adivinhem la de que..... claro, bioquimica... Vamos fazer espectofotometria. nao e das minhas preferidas porque envolve um aparelhometro (espectometro) que e muito sensivel e com o qual eu nao me entendo a 100%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ATENCAO pessoal: disseram-me ontem que o meu avo Mota e a minha avo Vitalina tem o meu blog nos favoritos e que realmente o vem ver. OLA AVOS!! Tudo bem? Estao a dar-se bem ai com a internet? Isso mexe-se ou nao? leiam a minha avo Arminda que ela e capaz de gostar! O proximo passo e a video conferencia. Tem que ir la a casa para me verem! Beijinhos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bem, por hoje e tudo. Tenho de ir para a pratica. E hoje que vou estrear a minha bata!!!

Ultrapassa-me completamente... Hoje de manha ia caindo para o lado... Simplesmente... ESTA SOL!! Sim, amigos, depois de uma semana sem sentir um raio de sol na cara, sem ter de semi-cerrar os olhos por causa da luminosidade, a andar de casacao, chapeu de chuva e todos os utensilios que me pudessem proteger de apanhar uma valente molha... esta s-o-l. Acho que esse e sem duvida o ponto alto do dia...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu sei, provavelmente estao a dizer: ah pois, agora lembras-te e escreves um post... andas dois dias sem dares uma misera palavra a ninguem e agora lembras-te... MIL PERDOES!!! A minha vida academica nao me tem dado muitas possibilidades de escrever nos ultimos dias (isto e so para referir que tenho uma vida academica muito intensa...). E o principal responsavel e: Dr C. Berry. Este senhor da-me a disciplina de Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Tem sido a loucura... So tive duas aulas (e de referir que estas sao complementadas com o visionamento de proteinas em 3D com uns oculos de papel extremamente fashion...) e ja tive mais ou menos 3 horas as esrever apontamentos e ainda nao acabei... Ainda assim, o facto de ter tido quimica e biologia o ano passado da-me alguma vantagem em relacao as pessoas que nao fazem a menor ideia do que sao forcas de Van der Waals (ok, ok... tenho de agradecer a professora Anabela Saraiva de Biologia e quanto ao dignissimo Prof. Antonio Pedro remeto-me ao silencio que me devido...) ja agora aproveito para fazer o apelo a quem souber o que e um aminoacido chiral que me elucide sobre o assunto...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais interessantes tem sido as aulas de Cell Biology... No primeiro dia conhecemos a coordenadora da cadeira: Dr. Kelly BeruBe. Uma senhora que parecia mais uma prof de educacao fisica do que outra coisa... Apareceu-nos de polo de rugby (muito usado nestas bandas) calca de ganga e tenis... Falamos sobre os objectivos da cadeira e depois era suposto vermos um pequeno clip sobre a materia... Como ela nao conseguia ligar o aparelhometro (vulgo video) alguem se dignou a ir chamar um funcionario do museu (sim porque nos temos aulas num anfiteatro do National Museum of Wales). Ora nao e so em Portugal que a eficiencia de alguns funcionarios deixa bastante a desejar... Embora aqui seja muito menos frequente do que em terras lusitanas, tambem acontece... O funcionario demorava, demorava... Ela tentava "encher chouricos"... Contava piadas, pedia aos alunos para contar piadas... E eis que chega o momento alto... O rap da prof de Cell Biology... ja ouviram um prof universitario a rappar e a fazer beatbox sobre celulas, nucleo, citoplasma, centriolos, etc?? Eu vi... Foi brutal (nao que eu seja apreciadora deste tipo de musica mas tendo em conta o contexto foi brutal...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outro acontecimento importante: estava eu na fila para entrar no Reardon Smith Theatre (o tal anfiteatro do museu) quando alguem atende o telemovel atras de mim... Ate aqui nao ha nada de extraordinario... A coisa ficou estranha foi quando, em vez de ouvir o ingles enrolado que a maior parte dos meus colegas fala.... oubi o belo sotaque nortenho!!! Ora nao era nem mais nem menos que uma portuguesa... Chama-se Sara e e de Braga (dai o sotaque)... depois das aulas fomos ate casa dela um bocado...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antes de vir almocar, passei pela livraria e adivinhem.............................................................................................................................................................................................. OS MEUS LIVROS CHEGARAM!!!! Sao lindos de facto mas muito, muito pesados.. O que valeu foi que um rapaz la na livraria se ofereceu para me ajudar a carrega-los ate casa... Sao tao ou mais fascinantes que o de bioquimica!!! Agora tenho uma prateleira realmente digna de um estudante universitario respeitavel...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antes de me despedir tenho de referir que ontem fui a reuniao da Christian Union (o gbu destas bandas). E simplesmente enorme... Deviam estar a volta de 70 a 100 pessoas na sala... Tivemos piano, guitarra, duas raparigas a cantar, baixo e bateria (ok o tipo da bateria tocava mesmo bem...) Tivemos um estudo sobre Daniel que foi bastante interessante...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, por hoje e tudo... Espero que comentem ( como diria o Marcos, sintam-se a vontade para discutir, discordar ou mesmo insultar este post)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beijos e Abracos&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-6223115942165146691?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/6223115942165146691/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=6223115942165146691' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6223115942165146691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/6223115942165146691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2007/10/unbelievable.html' title='Unbelievable!!!'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-2319695513343277328</id><published>2007-10-01T09:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-01T09:39:22.584-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Simply Amazing!!</title><content type='html'>Oi!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu sei, eu sei, dois posts num dia e estranho mas estou fascinada com algo que quero partilhar...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por favor coloquem uns headphones (tem que ser com phones nao pode ser com colunas nem nada do genero) e sigam as instrucoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E simplesmente fantastico!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://xuxupereka.blogspot.com/2007/07/j-no-de-hoje-que-ouvimos-falar-em.html"&gt;http://xuxupereka.blogspot.com/2007/07/j-no-de-hoje-que-ouvimos-falar-em.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beijos&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-2319695513343277328?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/2319695513343277328/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=2319695513343277328' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/2319695513343277328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/2319695513343277328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2007/10/simply-amazing.html' title='Simply Amazing!!'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-1179432877802190497</id><published>2007-10-01T04:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-01T04:50:15.044-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Primeiro dia de aulas</title><content type='html'>Heya!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O dia apresenta-se com ceu encoberto e alto nivel de pluviosidade (para sermos simpaticos...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como nao postei no fim de semana este vai ser mais longo do que o habitual (acho que estou a acabar de vos fazer sair do computador.... so me resta implorar que nao o facam....).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora bem... No sabado foi um dia de compras... Normalmente ficaria entusiasmada com isto mas como foram compras de supermercado e de material escolar o mais interessante que podia ter era escolher a melhor marca de polpa de tomate e de oleo vegetal (acabei por trazer oleo de girassol, mas isso e um pormenor...). E de referir que a minha demanda pela polpa de tomate nao foi assim tao simples quanto isso... E que na zona da polpa de tomate so havia molhos pre feitos e ketchup. Em desespero, agarrei um frasco de ketchup e dirigi-me para a caixa... Mas, quando tudo parecia perdido.... eis que me deparo com uma pequena bisnaga de polpa de tomate verdadeira num canto!!!! Rejubilei de alegria!! Poderia continuar, mas faltar-me-ia tempo para falar da minha busca pelo azeite com alto teor de poliinsaturados e da cebola liofilizada....&lt;br /&gt;A noite sim houve um ponto alto... O concerto de musica classica na Highfields Church interpretado pela Highfields Symphony Orchestra e conduzido por Huw Gareth Williams... Tocaram Mozart e Beethoven (recomendo vivamente que oucam a Sinfonia no. 1 em Do Maior)... Foi basicamente um espectaculo!!! Acabei por descobrir tambem que aquele grupo de louvor que relatei anteriormente estava muito reduzido naquele domingo... Aparentemente tem mais 3 violoncelos, duas trompetes, umas quantas guitarras e um baixo... Ok eu sei que vos apetece chorar mas contenham-se um pouco... Depois de me aventurar sozinha pelas ruas de Cardiff as 22.00 para tentar chegar a minha residencia fui descansar...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Domingo: Aqueles que me conhecem sabem que eu sou um bocado "church girl", ou seja, passo grande parte do meu tempo na igreja em tudo o que possam imaginar... Ok, ontem afirmei deveras a minha faceta. Fui a Gabalfa Baptist Church. O culto matinal foi as 11.00 e durou ate ao 12.30. Depois do culto os estudantes foram divididos entre os casais da lideranca para o almoco. Eu fiquei com o Alumn e a Zoe. Foi muito fixe o almoco!! Comemos o chamado Sunday Lunch (ha quem lhe chame dinner) tipico ingles. Frango assado caseiro com batatas assadas, legumes e uma especie de molho de grao (nao Paulo, nao comi sopa de cebola...) e para a sobremesa strudel, cheesecake, gelado e escuso de referir as, va, 3 canecas de cha que bebi nos entretantos... Seguidamente fomos para a igreja, tivemos um tempo de oracao ate as 18.00 e tivemos culto ate as 20.00. Como se nao bastasse tivemos reuniao de estudantes ainda que durou ate as 22.00. Um dia bastante espiritual, sem duvida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, quanto a hoje, nao ha ainda muito a dizer porque ainda sao so 12.42. De manha tive aulas (PRIMEIRO DIA DE AULAS!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!). A primeira podemos dizer que foi bastante soft, so a explicar como iria ser a disciplina... Chegamos a segunda... Ok, o senhor, que nem era o coordenador principal da cadeira, era provavelmente um assistente) lembrou-se de comecar a despejar materia sobre proteinas (ok, o assunto e interessante mas nao se pode dizer que seja facil...) a uma velocidade estonteante (ainda mais rapido que a minha internet ADSL que agora tenho em casa.. wow... que loucura)!! Se ja todos os pobres alunos deitavam fumo, imaginem so eu, que tinha de tirar notas em ingles, intercaladas com formulas de estrutura e nomes de proteinas e aminoacidos.... mas correu tudo bem e desde que agora consiga encontrar no meu calhamasso de bioquimica as caracteristicas principais das proteinas de estrutura primaria (foi a parte que eu nao apanhei...) acho que me safo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, agora vou-me aventurar a fazer umas massas com salsichas (se as salgar de mais vou-me dedicar a comida pre-feita...) para comer...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beijos e abracos&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-1179432877802190497?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/1179432877802190497/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=1179432877802190497' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/1179432877802190497'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/1179432877802190497'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2007/10/primeiro-dia-de-aulas.html' title='Primeiro dia de aulas'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-4073353183155900183</id><published>2007-09-28T14:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-28T14:30:16.051-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Salguei o arroz</title><content type='html'>Heya!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caros leitores,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje apresento-me com um dia bastante fraco de novidades... O tempo esta como de costume (estranho como tudo!!)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como sabem, ontem fui jantar a casa da Anna, um rapariga do gbu destas bandas... Foi um jantar bastante divertido onde comemos esparguete a bolonhesa (ok o molho foi comprado... tenho que lhe ensinar a fazer umas coisas...) e ouvimos Tom Jobim... Claro que eu tentei logo que ela dissesse palavras portuguesas como Joao mas foi inutil porque so saia um som parecido com Joau ou Joam... Mas pronto...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje de manha deu para fazer mais ronha do que costume (ronha nao e propriamente a palavra certa para um blog respeitavel, mas pronto, prossigamos...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de ter sido praticamente intimada, fui ao LIDL (sim porque so agora reconheco a qualidade deste supermercado que e o unico que existe em ambos os paises (Portugal e aqui)...)&lt;br /&gt;Comprei umas salsichas e aventurei-me com audacia em fazer o meu almoco. Escusado sera dizer que, nao estando habituada a cozinhar so para mim, fiz arroz a mais e ainda por cima salguei-o a um ponto que tive que lhe por toneladas (ok isto e exagerado...) de ketchup para conseguir comer... quanto a salsicha, tudo funcionou como esperado (tambem so tive a dificil tarefa de a por no microondas)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A tarde fui a uniao de estudantes ver se tinham chegado os meus livros e adivinhem.........................................................................................ainda nao chegaram.... Que desilusao...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois disto voltei para casa e ..... mais uma aventura.... A LAVAGEM DA ROUPA..... (e nesta altura que os violinos ameacadores comecam a tocar). Claro que as coisas nao podiam correr so normalmente e sem precalcos... o meio de 15 maquinas de lavar escolhi a unica que estava avariada... Escusado sera dizer que quando cheguei la e reparei que nao tinha feito a lavagem tive de ir pedir o dinheiro de volta, dar parte a recepcao e por outra vez a maquina a lavar...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eram umas 7.30 quando fui comer um carrocho caseiro (tenho que acabar com as salsichas...). E agora por aqui estou...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nao me posso despedir no entanto sem dar uma informacao importante a minha querida amiga Sofia: O menino em questao (louro de olhos azuis) e o Dan e tem 19 anos... E bastante simpatico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, por hoje e tudo caros ouvintes do tapete voador (private joke com o Paulo...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beijos e abracos&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-4073353183155900183?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/4073353183155900183/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=4073353183155900183' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/4073353183155900183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/4073353183155900183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/salguei-o-arroz.html' title='Salguei o arroz'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-3116656317434577477</id><published>2007-09-28T04:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-28T04:43:43.996-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sao tao fofos...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/RvzotrLUsFI/AAAAAAAAAAM/s-PqZ-Ck1xc/s1600-h/fotos+21-08-07+035.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115219148168015954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/RvzotrLUsFI/AAAAAAAAAAM/s-PqZ-Ck1xc/s320/fotos+21-08-07+035.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Heya!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Estou a escrever este post principalmente para experimentar a funcao de colocar fotos no blog!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Portanto, como ontem falei com o meu tio Paulo (e com a tia Susana xP) resolvi colocar, com a devida autorizacao dos mesmos, a foto dos meus primos Andre e Raquel no blog!!

Por razoes que ultrapassam as barreiras da compreensao humana e desafiam todas as leis da logica.... A INTERNET ADSL DA MINHA CASA FUNCIONOU!!! E do conhecimento de todos (pelo menos os que tem contacto proximo comigo nos ultimos, va... 5 anos) que na minha casa na marinha grande, por alguma razao que nos ultrapassa a todos, apenas tinhamos acesso a uma ligacao de telefone que ainda por cima era tao rasca que nem funcionava. As horas a espera para abrir uma pagina, a impossibilidade de receber uma fotografia, as visitas regulares ao escritorio do meu pai (para ter banda larga), tudo isso era o prato do dia.... Mas nao mais!!! Agora podemos aceder a internet a uma velocidade estonteante de 232 kbps!! Ora se eu e o meu irmao nos agarravamos a cadeira com os cabelos ao vento quando entravamos a 38 kbps, podem imaginar... Desconfio que o Marcos nem dormiu a noite passada...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, ja tenho a minha bata e os oculos de proteccao mas o resto dos livros ainda nao chegou... x(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ontem estive na Area 51, o apartamento la de baixo com o pessoal do meu apartamento e outros dois rapazes (sofia, o teu loiro de olhos azuis esta confirmado agora). Foi muito fixe e engracado...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;esclarecendo as duvidas que me foram colocadas acerca do porque de nao ter dormido como deve ser anteontem: O meu quarto fica encostado a cozinha onde houve uma party...

Depois de ficarmos um bom tempo na fila a espera, la fomos atendidos por um senhor indiano ou de outra nacionalidade para aquelas bandas com um ingles bastante enrolado e um sotaque que nos impossibilitava de perceber grande parte do que ele estava a tentar transmitir (ja nao bastava o assunto bancario ser quase impenetravel para a minha compreensao).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seguidamente dirigi-me para outra fila, desta feito na uniao de estudantes (predio enorme com prai 6 andares) da universidade para recolher o meu cartao de identificacao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nada mais havia para fazer de manha a nao ser ir ter com o meu pai que estava a tratar do meu seguro, outro assunto sobre o qual nao tenho as minimas luzes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de um almoco e de uma sobremesa de cheesecake (que me deixou bem enjoada por sinal) fomos ao ponto alto da tarde.... A COMPRA DOS MEUS LIVROS!!! O problema foi que so consegui comprar um, o resto chega amanha. Comprei uma beleza.... "Biochemistry" by Stryer um calhamasso que fez o meu pai andar de lado quando o teve que carregar. Sera o meu bebe pelo menos ate chegarem os outros. E lindo!! Esta recheado de sistemas bioquimicos de degradacao de nutrientes entre outras coisas.... Fantastico!! Por mt k vos possa custar imaginar eu nao estoua ser ironica!! Gosto mesmo disto!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bem, nao havendo mais nada a fazer, vim para casa descansar (sim porque a noite passada..... xi....)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bem, por hoje e tudo e amanha esperam-me dois momentos altos: a compra do resto dos livros e a compra da bata asim como dos oculos de proteccao!! YEY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beijos e Abracos&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-8455783910661447761?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/8455783910661447761/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=8455783910661447761' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/8455783910661447761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/8455783910661447761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/biochemistry.html' title='Biochemistry'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-4091079365643197642</id><published>2007-09-24T15:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-24T15:44:53.665-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Concilio Urgente</title><content type='html'>Caros leitores,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este post dirige-se exclusivamente aos Dinossauros (voces sabem quem sao).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E do vosso conhecimento que estou neste momento situada no Reino Unido, mais precisamente em Cardiff. Sabem tambem que este ano estive no acampamento de juniores na Quinta das Boas Novas, em Vendas Novas. Estar-se-ao a perguntar o que e que uma coisa tm a ver com a outra. Pois bem:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No acampamento de juniores conheci um campista de seu nome Miguel André Monteiro Fonseca. Este foi um campista que se destacou pela sua maturidade e inteligencia apesar da sua tenra idade (11). Temos falado por internet desde entao e tenho vindo a aperceber-me da sua personalidade atenciosa. Tem sido um bom amigo nesta altura em que estou por fora, como sabem...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Queria entao pedir a todos os membros da sociedade secreta dos Dinossauros (va, nao e assim tao secreta...) que se manifestem sobre o meu desejo de integrar este junior de grande valor na nossa sociedade. Por favor manifestem-se no blog ou, se quiserem confidencialidade, para o meu e-mail, que todos tem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todos conhecemos este jovem e eu (apoiada pelo Dinossauro Laura) achamos que sera um excelente contributo para a nossa comunidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os melhores cumprimentos pre-historicos&lt;br /&gt;Pterodactyl (ASG)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: E de notar que devem apresentar razoes validas para a vossa decisao.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-4091079365643197642?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/4091079365643197642/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=4091079365643197642' title='15 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/4091079365643197642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/4091079365643197642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/concilio-urgente.html' title='Concilio Urgente'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-3523882026926167913</id><published>2007-09-24T11:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-24T13:23:24.239-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Enrolment</title><content type='html'>Hello guys!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais um post "noticioso" como diz o Pedro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Primeiro o estado do tempo: Esteve um dia em geral chuvoso, com algumas abertas. Dizem que houve tornados no centro de Inglaterra. Por aqui so um ventito...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje foi dia de matriculas da universidade. E claro: Eu estava la!! As 11 horas comecaram as matriculas do meu departamento e, ao contrario do que aconteceu na Cidade Invicta (onde quando tirei a senha as 11.00 a hora prevista de atendimento era as 23.59), demorou cerca de uma hora a efectuar todo o processo. Desde a entrega do pack de estudantes ate a escolha das disciplinas, passando pela entrega de placas com o nosso nome para colocar nas batas (ah pois e... "Ana Garcia". Esperemos que de aqui a alguns anos seja Dr. ..."). Ao meio dia estava despachada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de um bom almoco ("chicken burger&amp;amp;cheese"), era altura da tao esperada "Introductory Talk". Era aqui que iriamos encontrar o nosso headmaster Dr. Steve Rutherford. Estavamos a espera de um homem austero e senhor do seu nariz. como o proprio titulo "headmaster" e o apelido (daquele grande senhor que contribuiu de sobremaneira para a quimica com o seu modelo de atomo: modelo de Rutherford) sugerem... No entanto, deparamo-nos com um senhor extremamente engracado e simpatico (pra quem conhece o David Cerqueira, tem algumas parecencas...) que nos deu as instrucoes principais acerca do curso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vim depois para casa arrumar o resto das coisas e assim... Conheci o Sam um dos meus colegas de apartamento... Ja tinha conhecido o Phil e a Liz e estado a conversa com eles (sim com o Phil, Sofia, os olhos sao esverdeados...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok pessoal.... por hoje e tudo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;beijos e abracos&lt;br /&gt;ASG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: Devido ao facto de ter um teclado ingles, os textos nao podem ter acentuacao ou outra especie de caracteres que nao existam em lingua inglesa.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2545882528189917573-3523882026926167913?l=fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/3523882026926167913/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2545882528189917573&amp;postID=3523882026926167913' title='4 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/3523882026926167913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2545882528189917573/posts/default/3523882026926167913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromuktotheworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/enrolment.html' title='Enrolment'/><author><name>Ana G</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AuRYgDZ78MQ/SftFB7c6OUI/AAAAAAAAAFk/sblOCETxuPo/S220/beautiful+smile....JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545882528189917573.post-4686285338999908960</id><published>2007-09-23T10:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-23T11:01:16.920-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cheguei</title><content type='html'>Ok malta, este e o meu novo blog (nunca antes tive outro mas pronto).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheguei a Cardiff na sexta feira e hoje vou ficar na residencia efectiva!!
