And today, on Monday I managed to complete my registration, it was a Mission!! =) I had to run up and down from Main campus and the Foreshore Campus several times...Also had to drive back to Century City to get a letter from Discovery Health, my Medical Insurance, because as an International Student we need proof of everything! xD

Just Trying To Keep Up!

Wow...I would never think I would be in this situation! =/
Missing the best part, the beginning of the exciting second year...
Here I am, another day, trying to get back to Cape Town so I can do my thing...Now I'm sick, caught another unnecessary cold! =(

I can't even describe how badly I want to start working and studying...So many plans and activities being postponned...Tottally unnecessary!

But here I am again, "Just trying to keep up" with you guys...My lecturers, my peers, my friends, my work, my course....My University.... I miss you all!

But I will definitely be back!!!Get ready because I won't give up...Ever! And to you, my peers...Get ready to talk because I will "steal" all the information that you have gained through a nice long chat and a notebook!!!

I cant't wait to get back to Cape Town, do my late registration on Monday =(...And finnally leave to the UK and find a nice job!!

Hopefully, one of my favorite blogs will be "My first day in England" or "Job hunting in the Cold Land" or even "My first day at work as an Englishman" xD...
You will definitely see one of those! =)

I will stay in touch CPUT....See you next time! =)

Just Another Battle, Another Day...''THIS IS ME" Tiago Dos Santos

Tiago Miguel Pita Pereira Dos Santos
21 years old
Born in Portugal-Lisbon on the 24th April 1989
Taurus


Wow! My very firt Blog!!!Here we go! =)

This is a bit of me, the minor details of my life...
Lets talk about me in today's life...
Moved from Angola_Luanda to South Africa_Cape Town, where my life changed to the better...Sadly my family and friends where left behind, but in spite of all that, I've made new good friends =).
Milnerton High School is where I started, after that I "moved In" to CPUT!!!

In this wonderful place I am finnaly pursuing my goal, my dream I suppose. The first year was extremely difficult to overcome, however it was fun!
But this year (even though I'm still stuck in Angola ) =(, I have new expectations, exciting ones, I really can't wait to get out there and do my best!

I am planning to go to England this time, see new things, have different experiences, explore more, more challenges and open my mind even more!!

To me, Architecture is not just design, it is Life since the first day the caveman set foot on Earth! =P
It's our Past, Present and Future...Everything that the world is growing into, comes from architecture...And being part of that world where Imagination and Creativity that comes out of our little minds, becomes Reality, makes me fulfilled in this short life! =)

I collect everything I can...Not only objects or personal stuff, but things I learn in life such as general knowledge, History, names, experiences, friends, memories,music,lyrics,poems, all sorts off common and new feelings,anything I want...

Definitely, my top getaway is a quiet beach,preferably when the sun is setting down....

My fisrt passion, is Life! I like it, I enjoy it to the max, I Love it, I Live it!!!Learning new things, forgeting about the "rules" sometimes...And just enjoy the very small things... =)
After that comes everything else...Family, friends, the girl of my dreams =)....Soccer, travelling,acting, movies,Comedy,"Family Guy",video games,music,Coca Cola,Pizza, Mc Donalds, "Funge"....

I find my inspiration from, Nature, Animals, people, drawings,conversations,books,magazines,television,music...Everything I see, hear, feel!!!

I love the sound of an acoustic guitar, a piano, Selah Sue's voice, the laugh of a baby is the most innocent one and pure...I fancy the good ol' British accent, sounds so cool when you say it right, you should try it ;) =P...House music in the car or in an open club takes me away...

Out of all the places that I been so far, I must say that my favourite city is no other than, CAPE TOWN!!!! Where we have all 4 stations in one day, but people are still warm, welcoming and you can do anything you want, just believe it! The only sad part is the cold water at the beach, but we still manage... =P

At the moment I am reading a book by José Saramago, a portuguese writter...Interrnational best seller, winner of a nobel prize for literature and now a motion picture...."Blindness".

For all of those who know me well, they will know who my Best artist is out of the many favorites I have...
The best guitar player with a killing voice... John Mayer!

To conclude this "piece of my mind", I refer back to architecture...My favorite architect at the moment, is Inspiring, Innovative, very Popular, Legendary, Distinctive, Intelligent and Creative... Frank Lloyd Wright!

Thank you for "knowing me better"...
I will be back for more...Stay tunned...
Thank you

Tiago Dos Santos.
