This week wasn't so bad...
I've been trying so hard to pull something out of the hat since I got to Europe...
Finally I've managed to succeed!! =)
After a few phone calls and some hard work on REVIT...Iwas able to be noticed and mark a meeting with my possible future boss.
On Friday I had to wake up at 6h30 a.m., take a Bus at 7h40, arrive at the train station at 8h00,catch a train (to ROMSEY) at 8h23, arrive at 8h38 and get a ride from "The Boss" at 8h55...
The meeting was swell. All I have to do now is just keep crossing my fingers...
Hoefully I'll get the job...After that I'll rent my one bedroom flat,and buy a bicycle! =D
Enjoy ur Weekend CPUT!

Another Hard Week in Southampton
Phone calls...all done...
Ups and downs here in Europe...
Was so close to getting one job...But the "employer" ended up giving up because he is very busy with deadlines and won't be able to give me a full time basis internship.
Luckily I have managed to find another company...Very good company...Its called "Sherlock Boswell", and they are actually looking for a temp...Lucky shot! I guess this is it...One shot...One chance...And intend to succeed in this one!!! =)
I had a really good conversation on the phone and they are interested in marking an interview with me! =)
The only weapon that I didn't have was REVIT as a subject at CPUT...Luckily, I have "played around" with it before! =) and Google Sketch Up...Which is pretty similar...
They asked me to send them a project in revit to prove that I can work in it...So I came up with a solution...By making a project, using my own learning in REVIT in about 24 hours...
So I have sent everything to them...Hope I make it this time! =D

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.
