The situation calls for this post again: Different? Maybe…

Talvez tenha deixado de ser parva. De respeitar quem nao me respeita, de desculpar o que nao tem desculpa, de esperar o que nao existe e de me desiludir.

Chamem-me ma, digam que mudei, que a culpa e disto ou daquilo. Para mim e tudo muito simples: contem com aquilo que me dao. Cansei-me.

A expressao olho por olho, dente por dente tambem se aplica as coisas boas.

Translation

Different? Maybe…

Maybe I just stopped being stupid. Stopped respecting who doesn’t respect me, excusing what has no excuse, and expecting what will not come and be disappointed.

Call me mean, say I’ve changed and try to find reasons for it. For me it’s all very simple: Count on what you give me. I had enough.

The expression and eye for an eye can be applied to good things as well.

The Ring

So the first few days we were in Portugal were spent looking for the engagement ring. We decided we would buy it there because it’s cheaper and the quality is better.

It was quite a task! It is not easy to find a diamond ring for my tiny hands and fingers. One of the people we spoke to even said that there are not engagement rings for children for sale yet! The problem isn’t even the size. That can be changed in a day or two. The problem is that it needs to be in a very specific shape in order to look good on my hands. And for that it couldn’t be the traditional model, which has a very high base for the diamond. It needed to be a very low cut with the diamond very close to the ring itself.

We saw a ring like that. We fell in love with it. We both loved it. It was even the exact size, no changes needed. But it was very expensive because the quality of the diamond was very high (it comes with a certificate) and the model was modern. We went back to see it several times and we started to give up on finding something else. We’ve seen dozen and dozens of rings, none of them looked good.

We finally decided that it had to be that one. It’s a one off thing. We’re only supposed to buy one and spending that much money it has to be perfect. But we had to transfer money from our savings account and wait for it. We are now completely broke but happy :) It’s so shinny and sparkly!

It’s all been very exciting in the last couple of days, so not much time to write anything…

Russ and I are still engaged :p. We haven’t made any plans because there isn’t much we can do before we go on holiday. We plan to buy a ring in Portugal (cheaper and better) and then we’ll see. It seems like we have to start thinking about booking a place quite soon as they all get booked years in advance. It may mean we’ll get married on a week day.

Other than that we ordered 2 books on weddings as I have no idea how things work in England and, lets face it, neither does Russ. So we can’t do much before they arrive as well.

Russ suggested I added a new category just for the wedding plans and stuff which I will do :)

Other updates will follow :D

P.S.-No one asked, we both agreed and I’m not insane (I think)
