100 Questions Tag – Borrowed from Brooke Jade!!

I saw this lovely post on Brooke Jade’s blog 100 Questions Tag and just loved it!! It was so nice reading about her. I miss this kind of post so I asked if I might be tagged and do it and she kindle said “yes”!! Thank you for the inspiration, dear!!

1.) What’s your favorite season?

Fall.

2.) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.

I don’t have a book here, so I’ll go to my kindle (on my phone), find one of the books I’m reading and get back to you.

So I opened The Player: The Wedding Pact by Denise Grover Swank. I read the first book and liked it, even though this is not really my favorite genre. I decided I would buy the second and have yet to start it.

Page 14, line 8:

«(…) but the look of recognition in her own eyes proved she was real.»

3.) Who was the last person you texted?

My mom, last night. I always text her before I go to bed to say goodnight.

4.) Before you started this survey, what were you doing?

I was looking at a few old posts, to check to-do lists and see what I might have forgotten to do, so I can write a new, compiled list.

5.) What is the last thing you watched on TV?

Outlander – season 3, episode 6.

6.) Without looking, guess what time it is.

10.45 a.m

7.) Now look at the clock–what time is it?

10:35 a.m (10 minutes is not so bad)

8.) With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?

I’m at the library so nothing too loud. But the air conditioner running, a few cars outside and someone just coughed.

10.) Do you like fish?

I do like Salmon, codfish and tuna. I eat anything I absolutely have to but don’t like it much. I prefer meat for sure.

11.) Mac or PC?

PC.

12.) Do you remember your dreams?

I usually do.

13.) When did you last laugh?

Coming here this morning. Rui and I were listening to the radio and a guy was telling this story of a man who decided it was a good idea to masturbate in the car and the police pulled him over and found him butt naked and completely covered in Vaseline. Go figure.

14.) Do you remember why/what at?

 USA. I think.
20.) If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
At the moment, I would focus on helping the victims of the wildfires that destroyed such a big part of my country this year. Some people lost EVERYTHING, so I would help them in building new houses, furnishing them and getting back on their feet.

I don’t have a car or a license. Rui’s car is the only car in our household. He changes the oil in his car and takes care of some other things as well. He’s quite handy and we save a lot of money because he buys the parts and does things himself.
 46.) Do you have any phobias?
I have this thing with electronics and electricity. I hate surveillance cameras and I’m terrified because I have to get two CT scans on Thursday and I have no idea how I will feel inside such a scary machine. Even x-rays scare the crap out of me.

The Lottery Tag

The Lottery Tag was created by my dear friend and one of my favorite bloggers, Natalie.

Here’s how she describes her tag:

A quick synopsis of The Lottery Tag: Imagine you won the lottery. There is no set sum of money – it could be $100 or $100 million dollars – let your imagination run with it. All up for interpretation. Tell us what you would do with that money, and then tag a couple of your blogging friends to do the same. Or don’t. No need to mention me for creating it; you can if you want, but I wouldn’t mind if you didn’t.

Natalie is an amazing blogger and this is such a wonderful idea! You should check her blog and you should also do this tag, even if I don’t nominate you.

This tag is divided into 3 categories:

  • Small Stuff
  • Big Stuff
  • Really Big Stuff

So, if I won the lottery, I would do the following:

Small Stuff:

  • Pay for piano lessons;
  • Pay for a personal trainer;
  • Pay for medical school;
  • Get more pets;
  • Pay for my sisters studies;
  • Pay for dance lessons;
  • Pay for photography lessons;
  • Pay for a private German teacher;

I would buy:

Lifestyle_4l

l_10151615_001

  • A good camera, which I don’t know how to pick right now;
  • A whole new wardrobe;
  • Good presents for my friends (whatever they needed or even money)
  • A ton of books;
  • Lots of Cath Kidston products:

Big Stuff:

  • I would pay for a nice wedding for us

0e9398f812917b1474143b7a36dc720d

  • Buy a car for myself and whatever car Rui wanted;
Fiat-500-Pink
FIAT 500
  • Share them money with all of our family members, both sides of the family;
  • We would fund Rui’s business ideas;
  • I would get pregnant;
  • I would adopt;
  • We would travel;
  • I would help my mom with her dream of having an animal shelter;
  • I would help several causes: Single moms, teenage moms, unemployed people, the homeless, the poor, the ill, the elderly who have no one to take care of them. My job would be to help people getting their lives on track and help where I could.

Really Big Stuff:

  • I would invest in properties to rent;
  • I would invest the money so we could leave off of interest;
  • I would invest in several businesses;
  • I would buy our dream home:

eacb7ca40e7c74227d316d5186058849

And that’s it. That’s how I would use the money if I won the lottery. My family and friends would be taken care of and we would make some of our dreams come true, as well as live a more comfortable life.

The images I’m using either come from google images or my Pinterest account.

Thank you so much for reading.

P.S. Oh, I forgot! I nominate:
