Futebol Clube do Porto at the Champions League Final

Yesterday...
Life was such a easy game......
OK, that's enough. Yesterday, FCPorto the club from the town I was born, raised and live in, Porto. Was able to defeat Desportivo de la Coruna in the Champions League Semi-Final. It was an amazing moment in my life, it's absolutely unique having your club, a small European club in terms of Financial power, getting to the most important Soccer competition final. To get there it played against such names has Manchester United, the richest club in the world, Real Madrid, home of the fantastic six (Raul, Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, Beckham and Roberto Carlos) and a lot of other important European teams.
Now, let's see what happens in the final, in a German town with a completely unpronounceable name (Gelzenkirschen or something like that).
In other news, the Queima das Fitas do Porto Cortejo, a parade where the university students show themselves to the city, an ancient tradition, was a blast. Being with all my friends, partying a lot, and generally blasting chants about the courses or faculties.
One of the traditions, integrated in this event, is the signing of shirts, in which the t-shirt each person wears (normally connected to the course their in) is signed by the colleagues. One of the signatures I received yesterday came from a dear friend, which I lament not being able to be in person more times. It's really beautiful when you read some things you don't realize every day, and you should be grateful every breath you give for those very things.

What's that thing you ask?

One small word.... Friendship

Kiss to one of my dearest friends.
Shot out to every one that stumbles here...
