3. I like attics very much. It's a kind of enchanted world to me. My grandparents house had an attic.
4. I would like to sail one day (like in the movie Message in a Bottle) and watch the sunrise and the sunset in the sea. There are so many boats in The Netherlands! Sometimes, I just stay still, admiring them.

Award " Amigo de Portugal"

10 June: Day of Camões, Portugal, and the Portuguese Communities

Luiz Vaz de Camoes wrote the Os Lusíadas, Portugal's national epic poem that celebrates Portuguese History and its achievements.
He died on June the 10th of 1580. That's why we celebrate our National Day on this day, June the 10th.
Portuguese immigrants throughout the world celebrate this holiday too.

I think the best way to celebrate it in Presepio is trough a special award to some amazing blogs about our History and Culture.
I called this award "Amigo de Portugal" that means "Portugal Friend".
;-)

From Selos Presepio


And this award goes to... ;-)

Familia Real Portuguesa (author: Maria de Menezes)

A blog about the Portuguese Royal Family (the Dukes of Braganca) where we can learn about the role that this Family had and have in our History. If you want to know more about Portuguese History, it is a good place to visit.

Ruas de Lisboa com alguma Historia (author: Agostinho Paiva Sobreira)

A blog where we can learn about the History of the streets of Lisbon (Lisboa) and see old and new photos. The right site to visit if you want to know more about our capital...

Memorias de Sacavem (author: Isabel Tiago)

A very special blog about Sacavem ceramics. Sacavem is nearby Lisbon and its ceramics factory was very well known.

Strawberries com Natas (author: Luisa Moreira)

A great blog about portuguese gastronomy with a very ecological message. ;-) Muito bom! ;-)

FELIZ DIA DE PORTUGAL!!!

Lovely and Loyal Award

Lopa, an Indian expat and the writer of the Blog Life as it goes on, gave this beautiful award with a very interesting challenge to Presepio.
Thank you so much, Lopa ;-) Very sweet of you ;-)

From Selos Web Atribuídos


I must answer to these questions:

1. Say why you made your blog and if you expected it to be popular at all.

I began to write Presepio to help me in this new adventure.So much new information, so many differences...
I needed to organize and place myself in this new picture.
I wanted also to share experiences and help others who, like me, were searching information about the Netherlands before taking the great step. Stories in the first person, not only the official data...
I tought also that it would be a good way to know other expats from different coutries and backgrounds. A good way of making friends in the same situation.
I had no blogging experience when I began to write Presepio, so I wasn't expecting a great popularity.
I don't think Presepio is that popular. I prefer that Presepio grows slowly and with some quality. I blog to relax and for fun. No stress, no worries. Let's enjoy the moment ;-)

2. State the exact date you started your blog.

I started my blog in 3 March 2008, about 4 months after my arrival in the Netherlands (04.12.2007).

3. Nominate 5 loyal followers!

Well, I will nominate 7, but I know there are more. I don't want to be unfair, so I will nominate by the nummer of comments:

Anita from Castles, Crowns and Cottages.

Aledys from From Argentina to the Netherlands, for Love!

Margarida Elias from Memorias e Imagens

Rosa Martins from Rosa do Adro

Isabella from A Touch of Dutch

Arwa from Oranjesplaash

Anita from Greetings from Holland

So girls, now it is your turn ;-) Do you want to tell your story? The rules you already know...:-)

To all the readers of Presepio:

Don't forget to visit Lopa's blogs. This woman is a mix of talents :-) Give her a visit and find out why ;-)

A great Sunday to you all ;-)

7 Beautiful Things about Nederlands

Isabella, an american expat living in the Netherlands and the writer of the Blog A Touch of Dutch, has nominated Presépio for the award " Beautiful Blogger".

From Selos Web Atribuídos


I will follow her example and nominate 7 things that I find beautiful in the Netherlands.

1. Postcards

From Coisas Minhas

As you already know, I am a huge fan of Dutch Postcards.

In my country, there isn't such a variety :-(
Sending postcards isn't so usual anymore ...

2. Sinterklaas

From Sinterklaas (II)

This photo is from 2008, when Sinterklaas arrived here in Almere. I like these festivities very much, specially the simplicity of the gifts, the children's joy, the clothes, the songs, the presents boat, Sinterklaas's horse, everything...
You can see here how I lived this occasion.

In Portugal, there is a great pressure to give expensive gifts to the children during Christmas time. I don't like that, I'm sorry. I prefer the simplicity of Sinterklaas. I think Christmas is simplicity too ;-) so, why give so many and expensive gifts, even when the families cannot afford it? I prefer the simple joy of the season...

3. Achtertuin

From Almere (II)


I like my achtertuin.
It is gezellig (agradável) enjoying the sun, specially with friends, during a nice barbecue! Simple and cozy!

Last December... the view of my living room ;-) Love it! Very relaxing!

4. Bredevoort (de boekenstad).

From Bredevoort - Gondelvaart 2009


The town where I find out the concept of Honesty Bookshop.
Please, click on the link to know more about it ;-) A must go! At least for me, because I like to read very much.

5. Efteling

From Efteling


It was a magical experience! A Fairy Tale Day! A must! I think you will agree with me. Please, click here and tell me what you think about it. ;-)
I never went to a Disney Park, but I think I will continue to prefer Efteling...

6. Rondvaart

From Rondvaart


From Rondvaart


Relaxing. A must do. One true Dutch afternoon! The swans following behind the boat, the beautiful backyards...

I like these kind of outdoor activities: rondvaarts, taking care of the achtertuin, walk on the park. It is healthier and funnier!
In Portugal, most people prefer to go to the mall. Strange behaviour in a country known as the garden of Europe...

7. Organization

Family Calendar

From Organização


Birthday Calendar

From Organização


Homeplanner

From Organização


Organization is important for me, I must say. And if it could be fun, even better! So, I like to go to Bruna and look for their agendas, home planners, birthday calendars, family calendars. Except for the agendas, I never find out the others in Portugal.

Simplicity, Organization, Outdoor Activities, Ik hou van Nederland! I love Holland!


The rules to this award are as follows:

Thank the person who gave you the award.
Paste the award on your blog.
Link the person who nominated you for the award.
Share 7 things you find beautiful in the Nederlands.
Nominate 7 bloggers or less.

Since almost the blogs that I follow were nominated by Isabella and I am new in the expatblogland , I will nominate only more two, also very good ones.

Just a Plane Ride Away

The Path Untaken

I want to thank you, Isabella, this beautiful challenge that makes us look for the positive experiences that we have been living here in the Netherlands! A positive approach is very important in this kind of challenge! ;-) Dank je wel!

A gift to you all...

Just Read It!

Hello :-)

Do you remember that I said I wanted to give you an award by Christmas time, but with the removals, my mother's visit, my studies, etc, it was not possible. I thought maybe in the 6th of January, but no. Busy times, indeed...

Presepio had already received several awards, but I always said that the first one to be shared here it would be the first one giving by Presepio.

Yesterday, Presepio received another award, very beautiful indeed, that I want to share, because of the challenge associated :-)

So, I decided to anticipate Presepio's first award, so I can answer to Isabella's challenge, without breaking my promise.

I decided also to create several awards, according with the blogs that I visit.

The first category goes to the expat blogs that I read.

These experience exchanges are very useful and very amusing to me! We are learning so much about ourselves, aren't we? :-)

It is a pleasure to read each one of your blogs. So, I want to tell others to do it too.

"Just read it!" because it's worth it!

I feel that we are growing up together in this challenge!

Thank's a lot, girls!

From Selos Presepio

Next saturday, it will be another category :-)

Have a nice weekend! ;-)

Selos e RSS

Hoje, o Presépio Com Vista Para o Canal ganhou três selinhos do blog O Meu Olhar, que há dias atribuiu também a todos os visitantes um outro selo, prefazendo um total de quatro selos oferecidos. Obrigada, Su, és um mimo :) Gosto muito do teu blog, entre outras coisas, porque sei que muito frequentemente posso encontrar e ler poesia portuguesa :)

Com tantos selinhos de presente, achei que estava na hora de fazer um slideshow, onde incluí igualmente dois selos já recebidos pelo Presépio: o selo do Skywalker, o primeiro que o Presépio recebeu, e como tal, o primeiro da sequência do slideshow, :) e o selo " Manifesto Jovens que Pensam" atribuído pelo Estado Sentido, em Abril, aos seus visitantes. O Estado Sentido destaca hoje uma reportagem efectuada sobre a Infanta Dona Maria Adelaide de Bragança Van Uden e respectiva Família, cuja leitura sugiro.

A todos vós, obrigada pelos presentinhos muito simpáticos :)

Hoje coloquei também no blog a possibilidade de subscrever rss feeds, que permite a quem o fizer, receber pequenas mensagens a notificar novos posts.

Eu própria tenho que ver se experimento :) para ver como é ;)

Todos dias uma nova aprendizagem :)

Uma Boa Semana para todos :)

Post Scriptum: esta noite, juntei mais dois selos no slideshow, atribuídos igualmente pela Su, do blog O Meu Olhar. Ainda consegui colocá-los hoje, vá lá...sim, porque este computador que me acompanha para todo o lado, anda a aguentar estoicamente o uso que lhe dou há já meia dúzia de anos e a queixar-se muito, muito desde há uns mesitos para cá...:(
Da "chuva" de selos da Su, devo dizer que gostei particularmente destes dois, acho-os muito bonitos :)
Não me levem a mal por não distribuir, mas eu gostaria que o primeiro selo a partilhar aqui fosse do Presépio...a seu tempo :) no Natal, acho que condizia bem, não acham? :)

http://j7skywalker.blogspot.com

O Skywalker, muito simpaticamente, atribuiu este prémio, que foi ele que fez, não só aos blogues da sua lista, como aos seus seguidores (onde eu me insiro) :) muito querido da parte dele:)

Mais um português em terras baixas e com muito sentido de humor:)

Gosto muito do blog do Sky :) diverte-me bastante...
O Skywalker consegue arranjar sempre bons videos e boas piadas, e quem me conhece, já sabe o quanto gosto de rir e sorrir...

Mas também é um blog que faz pensar, à medida que nos vamos apercebendo dos temas que lhe são mais sensíveis...

Passem por lá:) encontrei lá esta pérola;)



E eu que sou um bebé a gatinhar nestes caminhos dos blogs (e o meu é só um bloco de notas do que por aqui me vai acontecendo), agradeço o mimo:)
