MOSTLY PORTUGAL

!OVER AND OUT!
Thursday – Movie at Poonam’s.

Friday – Last day at work… for me. Gym. Home.

Saturday – Wake early to drop Poo. Sleep. Gym… this one lady in the steam room splashed a whole bottle of eucalyptus oil on her seat and all around. Extra hairy dude making funny sounds next to me. Finish readying. Home.

Sunday – Pack. Prison Break. Mong.

Monday – Wake up at 3 am. Send knowledge mail. Poo and Priya come get me with a cab. Meet Mit and Sarah-Michelle at the airport. And off to Portugal. Get to Auramar Beach Resort. Go to old town for grub. Chill at the beach with some Rose bottles. Really wicked sand sculptures. Now we realized we didn’t need to get a cab back… we could just walk to our resort from along the beach. So drunk our way to a cliff where we were stuck and the sign on the fence said private property. Mit pressed a few combo numbers on the gate and voila it opened. So we thought we’d sneak in and get back to the resort… turns out we were in the resort. Lol… thank god the cliffs stopped us. Poo had brought her Uni coursework so she was meant to finish that and then we were meant to spend some alone time. But Priya was around and she was originally coming with Poonam. I just decided last minute. Anyway so my nickname for Pri from then on was C-Block. Not that I called her that out loud. So Poonam and I are figuring ways to ditch C-Block but C-Blocks fast asleep on my bed. So Poo wakes her and says she wants to go to sleep. Now I was on Poo’s side so C-Block suggests Poo sleep in the middle lolllllll. Oh and the double beds were not too steady and kept splitting in the middle. Anyway so we all link at the downstairs bar and all you see is old folks. Were we in a beach side old peoples home? Wrinkles resort? Club dead/nearly ded? Ok they weren’t that bad… they could rumba/salsa/samba/waltz/foxtrot/etc. Was amazing to see. But anyway we went down to try get away from C-Block and then go up again but it didn’t really work out like that. C-Block was a Clingon! Hahahaha. Drama and make up.

Tuesday – Brekkie. Stale Coco Pops. The peppershaker unleashed on my sexy sunnyside up! Oh well at least the view was amazing. C-Block!!! GAD DAMNIT! Poo was back on her course work so I thought I’d get us some coffees. Some issues so couldn’t. Thought I’d check out the gym but didn’t find it and got lost in the hotel… every turn was a long walk with dead ends. Ended up in my room to meditate. Read while Poo does her thing. Sleep. Get a really fwacked up dream. Started off with Paul Robinson checking out Harry Potters audition of Jem’s Falling song. Then I was getting bored so I thought I’d go chill with mom so I was like hey mom and just then she was being pulled like an animal and … cancer and … just dream messed me up till then next day. So I really wanted to drink coz Mit didn’t find any dro. Go to The Strip (strip of shops and bars and whatnots). Wild & Co was our first stop. George the bartender was doing that juggling stuff really well. Get our drink on. Live band played wicked choons. Remembered Ria so much. Get our eat on upstairs then. Retired time-sharing Jezz joined us. He was chatting C-Block up. I was wishing she was easy coz she’d be out of our way then. Poor thing. Poo and I go back early coz too much drinking and alone time.

Wednesday – Sleep so much. Poo finishes her coursework. We go shopping and stuff. I really wanted to swim but the weather was messed up. Hell coz of it we couldn’t go on the cruise or swim with dolphins. At least they had a indoor heated pool so I did that while Poo and Pri played the tennis on the table. Play arcade games. Chill at the bar again watching oldies getting their grove on. Poo’s camera bust. So she went upstairs. I go later and guess who comes along. So Poo thought she’d try my guided meditation and instead of getting the message C-Block wants to try it too. GIMME A BREAK! YOU CANT BE THAT DENSE! She reminds me of a vegetable lady back home.

Thursday – Nearly throw Poo in the split between the beds. I told you not to mess with my sleep. Ahem. Now our bath lights bust. It was so rainy and windy and the hotel was so leaky. We had an extra room so get my shine on there. I mean literally… I love baby oil gel and Poo had lavender and a camomile one. That just blew my mind. And more. But anyway… over to Old town. Check out the museum there. It’s so small.. one big room. And a small room on each side of the big room. Back to the square. See this interesting art gallery. It was just Poo and I so we messed around in shops and killed time having desserts till the church opens. Say a lil prayer for moms. Walk along the pier and check out the cliff scenery and stuff. End up at a beach side restaurant. Start talking with the waiter Marco… he was cool his girl Laurie from Belgium had come so we chat with her. Poo freaked out with the king prawns eyes. Get our drinks on and chit chats. Now most of my language skill I picked up from music and this other German waiter Ulf reminded me of Sag especially when Marco was bullying him. But Ulf was the man… we started chatting about songs and it… well… it was a great time. Not that it ended coz we decided to join Marco and Laurie to this Brazilian live band place. The whiskey dude had was great. After the second double I do what I always do… feel the music and just then Poo is like, we gotta bust coz we leave early. The stories Marco and Laurie told us… some funny, some kinky but all very entertaining… it was a greater time. Not yet over coz Poo and I got back and… well I had to burn off the alcohol so… not that I remember now but it was lots of jokes till I had to get into my recovery position. Lol there I am sat up in bed telling Poo make sure I don’t stop moving. Next thing I know… I stop moving and…

Friday – Hangie! Skip brekkie to sleep. Told Poo and Pri to get my coffee. They brought back was looked and tasted like liquidized doodie. One sip and I was sure it came out of one of those senior citizens asses! Pri wanted to shop so I slept while they went to old town. Pack. Sleep. Airport. The airport was leaky too. The bus that took us to our plane was leaky too. I was like I wont be surprised if the plane leaked. Get to Luton. Trains to Harrow. Poo’s mom drops me. And here I am missing you guys so much I just had to send it all today!

Hotel Notes: NEVER GO THERE. The people were not friendly. The service sucked. They don’t know they prices. Things didn’t work. The scenery was amazing and … well I really wanted to give them a chance but they shattered my patience when I ordered coffee the guy laughed and told me it’ll be 10 Euros and then didn’t bring it! Jackass! There was lots more wrong but I heard about most of it so … just don’t go there. Oh yeah the beds didn’t stay proper. Single room and double cost different but are basically the same room. The balcony door locks funny and with the wind it didn’t even shut proper and when it did the wind still came in so the heater could work proper. Just not right but guess that’s what you get for the price.

Frozen Toes

I am thinking of you In my sleepless solitude tonight,
If it’s wrong to love you Then my heart won’t let me be right,
Cause I’ve drowned in you And I won’t pull through Without you by my side.

I’d give my all to have, Just one more fight with you,
I’d risk my life to feel, your chin as you scold me,
Cause I can’t let go, on living in the memory of y/our song,
I’d give my all for your love for life.

Baby can you feel me, Imagining I’m looking in your eyes,
I can see you clearly, Vividly emblazoned in my mind,
And yet you’re so far, Like a distant star, I’m wishing on tonight.
My All – Maria Carey (lyrics customized)
