London Calling?

To Whom It May Concern,

It's happened once. It's happened twice. It's happening 'thrice'. But this time it's different.

I've been going about my life, making it - finally - all I've ever wanted, managing to keep things high and rolling, strong, intense, adrenalin-rushing and very importantly, enjoying myself in new and varied geographical and enfactuation travels.

Work is good. Actually work is top notch. The opportunity of finally becoming a 'planner' was put before me and I snatched it with all my strength. So my days are great, spent mainly investigating, researching, creating and above all... learning. The raise was the natural thing and projects are starting to gain life in the market place.

So... cruise control was on. Thoughts of moving out from 'Penthouse-Traditional-EasyGoing-Chic-Lapa' to 'RefurbishedLoftStyle-Urban-Retro-Trendy-AltoStaCatarina' started to make sense. Trade in the 'LowConsumption-Design-Simple-Practical-Smart' for a 'Serious-Stylish-MuthaFucka-Convertible-GermanImport-BeverlyHills90210-Mustang67' was going to be peanuts. And so on...

But life is all about playing games, salt 'n pepper, twists and turns, trials and tribulations (thank God for that...).

In two consecutive days, from two completely different companies (that have only in common the 'mere' fact that they are London based and 'only' top6 rated in their area of expertise), two different mails, two different 'teases'. Two 'ego-boosters' (as if I still needed them! lol).

Rush of blood to the head. Easy... hold it... nops... too late... lost it... I'm all over the place!

Lisboa é a minha mulher... por cá as coisas são calmas, seguras, controláveis e acima de tudo bastante prevísiveis. Não me interpretem mal. Adoro a minha 'mulher'. O céu tem uma cor incomparável, as ruas a pique, o rio sempre próximo mas distante. É pequena, pode ser toda contemplada ao mesmo tempo. (Re)Conhece-se recantos, tocamos em detalhes. Ecoam histórias por todo o lado, coscuvilhices, caras conhecidas, familiares, o conforto do conhecido, do 'amigo da amiga que andou com'. É acolhedora e única.

... But London is my lover. Always dazzling, sexy, different and ready to impress. Never stops, ever-changing. What's good becomes better, what's better is always something new. Huge, enormous, challenging but just enough to keep you wanting more. It's gloomy, romantic, fast, furious. You never know if you're in control or if it controls you. And that's addictive. Adrenalin rush in a melting pot without comparison.

And now you ask me?

Now let's see if I'm more the 'married type' or the 'passionate lover'.
