Against all odds seems I´ll have to go to one of the biggest festival of the entire Europe!!!

Just check it out:

http://www.rockwerchter.be/en/home/index.aspx

Just for you to imagine...I´m talking about those festivals that 2 months before are sold out!!! It was sold out the first time I´ve heard of it!!! Since the time I was seeking for tickets I thought to myself:
"Miguel....forget it!! You´ll never make it!! Every one wants to go!!"
And today..............plimmmmmmm.........a ticket landed on my hand saying:
"I´m all yours!!!ehehehe"

...don´t worry....next week I´ll tell you how it was....ehehehe....with photos and videos!!! ;-)

In the meanwhile get a little taste of what´s waiting for me....the only difference is that you have to increase the audience of the video below to hundreds of thousands of people!!!...and than ok, you can imagine Rock Werchter! ;-)

@thanks Ricardo.... ;-)

Keizer Karel Cup...and another great weekend!

2009-06-28T13:54:00.000-07:00

Hi all!! After being out of the fields for a while...seems "Manckuso" is back!!!

Not in the game you´re used to see him, but on Mini Football!!

The game is like Futsal...5 players, but with no goalkeeper, smaller goals (more a less like hockey), and no contact allowed (and this is the most difficult for me...eheheh...sarrafeiro!!)

Below you can see some images of the tournment...and of course the party!!

@RED LIONS

...but don´t make any confusions about the red and the lion... I´m all Blue Dragon!!!

..."o meu coração só tem uma cor. AZUL E BRANCO!"eheheh

...o começo da aventura!

2009-06-15T13:32:00.000-07:00

Bem...Para aqueles que não sabem o porquê da minha vinda para a Bélgica, tudo começou em Moçambique ( www.c9apretoebranco.blogspot.com )...um bocadinho de publicidade nunca fez mal a ninguém!!

...foi em Moçambique que criei o bichinho de emigra!! Esse bichinho foi bem alimentado, até voltar à base tuga para experimentar a área de produção de eventos ( www.realizar.com )...já agora mais um bocadinho...xó mesmo mais um bocadinho de publicidade!

Foi durante esta experiência que Moçambique (na pessoa do Ricardo....o meu chefe em Moçambas) voltou até mim...com um novo projecto e um novo desafio internacional!! Desta vez para levar o sol Moçambicano até às terras baixas do norte da Europa....Belgique de seu nome!

A empresa era apenas a Martifer :D....e a liderança era a de Moçambique....cereja em cima do bolo!! "Van Der Trindas faz as malas que vais desta pra melhor!!!"
Após um período de adaptação à empresa em Portugal...Oliveira de Frades mais propriamente desde Fevereiro de 2008, é em Setembro que 2008 que se efectiva a transferência para o estrangeiro!

E já agora...para os que não conhecem...mais um bocadinho de publicidade (www.martifersolar.com )..ehehee
O projecto que abracei baseia-se na construção de parques solares (painéis fotovoltaicos) em telhados industriais!
Por isso já sabem....se conhecerem "Belgueses" que queiram investir na instalação de painéis solares fotovoltaicos, é só avisar aqui o "je", que eu levo-lhes o Sol!

E assim cá estou eu em mais uma aventura que espero poder partilhar através desta janelinha que ficará aberta para quem quiser!!

Sei que este início de posts está a ser aos soluços....mas os tempos livres...entre fazer a lida da casa, trabalho e saídas...são escassos!!

Abreijos!!

Tamos juntos!!

...pode ser que seja do entusiasmo!!!

2009-06-09T14:37:00.000-07:00

E como vêem, se bem que pode ser apenas do entusiasmo inicial, cá estou eu novamente para mais um novo post!
Não é um post com novidades....pois neste momento estou mais preocupado com as aparências.....não a minha, mas a do Blog!! Já podem ver os novos gadgets que adicionei ao blog... um conta KMs...GPS... Radar....entre muitos!!! ...só me falta um sistema de som de alta fidelidade!!!

Abreijos!!
Tamos juntos ;-)

Bem Vindos!!

2009-06-08T12:40:00.000-07:00

Bem....e mais uma vez cá estou eu para partilhar mais uma experiência internacional com os que me são mais próximos e com todos os outros!

Apesar de já cá estar há 8 meses, ainda não tinha tido a criatividade necessária para decidir-me, ou mesmo para pensar num titulo original para o blog. Encaro esta ferramenta como um diário de bordo, como fiz quando estive em Moçambique ( www.c9apretoebranco.blogspot.com ).

Mas hoje pensei um bocadinho e o mais óbvio surgiu: "GENT & GENTE"!
Melhor era impossível....Tenho finalmente a ferramenta que vos vai pôr em contacto com as minhas aventuras!!

Não espero mais...não sou escritor... Apenas quero ter a média de visitas que consegui ter em Moçambas!! Com isto conto com o vosso apoio e visitas, claro!!

Abreijos!!

Tamos juntos ;-)

p.s: e fiquem atentos que vou tentar (...eu disse tentar...lol) mantê-lo o mais actualizado possível
