Studying Virginia Woolf and her "Orlando".

Virginia Woolf...

I'd never have thought that she'd bring me up. And even less studying her and her work.

It's really hilarious.

But... thank you, Virginia.

"I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write." By Virginia Woolf.

I've always been proud of being a woman, but now more than ever.

Enjoy guys!

What am I doing with myself?

My mother actually says it: You are destroying yourself.

That's what I'm doing, oh yes.

Self-disappointment, pain, harm.

I thought I was braver. I thought I wasn't so stupid.

I thought I was tougher, stronger, more powerful than I'm showing now.

I should stop talking and start doing. I should care less about people and care more about me.

It's not egoism, I'd say it's called survival.

Enjoy.

I got a job!!!!!

Yesterday I had an interview (as I said) and today the incorporation called me in order to include me in a course of preparation.

The incorporation, which is called Golden Line Telemarketing, works selling products by phone calls and offering a service of customer attention.

It may be interesting, I don't know. I only know that the next week (concretely on Monday) I'll start with the course to prepare me for selling products. They'll give me information about the product that I'll have to sell.

And the following week I'll start my job seriously. Wow... I'm really excited.

The girl who made me the interview explained all to me very clearly and she told me how much my salary would be. It sounds really well.

I'll tell you how Monday goes.

Enjoy!!!!!

...

Today it's not a good day.

Yesterday it was cool. My mother liked all her presents and I made a cake for her.

I also prepared the dinner.

Today... I had a job interview at 11. It went ok or I think so.

I may be working next week if things go well.

My mood is a complete disaster. I've got no motivation for anything.

I hope you have a better day than I.

Enjoy.

Happy Birthday Mum!

Happy 46th Birthday! You deserve the best, you know it!

I really love you!

Enjoy your day.

Your daughter

My mother's birthday is coming!

My boyfriend has gotten internet.

He has just start surfing. He really wanted it but his parents didn't want to contract it, so he didn't have until this afternoon.

Just ten minutes remaining for midnight here in Spain. In ten minutes, we'll be on 28th of May and it's my mother's birthday!

I'm so pleased to give her the presents that I bought and see her face.

I really hope she likes them!

Mmm counting down the minutes!

It's exciting to wait for something! Even if it's something for someone else!

My boyfriend said: Making presents is egoist because you want to see which face shows the person.

He's really right!

I'm an egoist, yeah!

Well, enjoy your night.

Only five minutes remaining. I'm going to prepare all.

Enjoy.

Cherry

...

Bored... very bored...

Today morning I woke up, had breakfast and took a shower.

I went to a mall in order to find a present for my mum. Her birthday is tomorrow, she'll be 46.

I'd already bought a handbag but I wanted something more so I bought a t-shirt and a bracelet for her. I hope she likes it.

My dad hadn't bought anything yet (as always!) so I bought something more: a leather purse and two beautiful shirts.

When I arrived at home, my dad asked what I had bought for her. I told it to him and he said: how much did you pay for that? When I explained what I had paid, he said: you've spent too much!

But what are you saying dad?!!!!! She's your wife, you shouldn't care for that!

He asked that he was joking but I didn't like it.

After that, we three had the lunch and later my mother slept in my bed for twenty minutes. Then, I served coffee.

She's gone and I'll start studying. My dad is sleeping in the sofa right now.

Maybe I'll go out later, I don't know.

Have a nice Tuesday!

Enjoy.

Boring Monday: Studying? Not really...

I think that all I had to say about today, I've already said it in the tittle of this post.

I woke up late, at 10.30 am. Too late to start studying.

I had breakfast and then I took a shower. But I couldn't concentrate and I didn't do anything this morning... Oh, shit!

I promised to myself to start studying and I did nothing, good beginning!

I had lunch at 3.30 pm. I wasn't hungry. As always, my mother didn't understand.

I've been reading my class notes. My first exam in June is the 2nd. Literature's Theory.

It may sound interesting, indeed it's interesting but it's a little hard and even more if you did your high school choosing the science classes...

I'm really weird.

I've been doing outlines and now I'm doing a summary. Right now I'm making a break because my head is really busy and I need to relax for a while.

I've taken paracetamol because I had headache but now I feel better.

It's hard to be a student.

My idea is to finish my summary and then go to walk in order to do some exercise because I've been during all the day at home, doing nothing.

Well, first I'll wash the dishes! My parents work, so I have to do it by myself.

I'll carry on studying, at the same time that I'll hear "The Coral" in order to find some inspiration.

Enjoy your Monday. Time runs, don't forget it!

Nice Weekend!

Today has been a good day.

I woke up this morning, I post here, I took a shower and I waited for my parents to go to a family reunion.

My boyfriend arrived later and we all went by our car to my Grandma's house.

I drove, of course! I love driving, it's very relaxing. However, If I drive with my mother beside or behind is really difficult. She doesn't stop saying things like "you should go faster" or "please, change this music, it's too loud for me!" and then I get very nervous and I wish we crash because then she'll be shut up.

She makes me feel really stressed. I love to drive with my music and I love to drive without hurry. I love to enjoy my trip and I can't do it if she starts complaining.

When I'm about to enter in the car and start driving she also says: Stop, I should drive!

Shut up mum. I can do it, and I can do it better than you think!

My father is with me, he always says: You drive better every day! Last time it seemed that you have less control of the car, you're improving your driving.

He's so lovely when he says this kind of things.

My boyfriend also says things like that.

What do you want? I've been a driver since 9th of January. I've been driving for almost five months, I think that it's normal that I don't drive perfectly, but I try to do it as better as I can!

Well... The lunch has been ok. I ate too much (as always) because it's impossible to keep your food habits with this family. They always say things like "get a little more of this" or "you should try that".

If you don't eat as much as they want, they always say: you are too thin, you should it a little bit more! You're too skinny!

Well... I don't eat too much, but I'm not doing diet, it's just my way of eating...

After the lunch, we drank a coffee and we played some table-games.

Then, my boyfriend and I went to home by car and ended watching a film.

My parents arrived and we had the dinner (only salad because my stomach was really full!).

My boyfriend and I went to walk because we've stayed all this day at home and we needed to do some exercise.

He has just gone and I'll go to bed because I don't have classes now, I've already finished them but exams are near and I want to start studying tomorrow morning.

My idea is to wake up at 9 o'clock, have breakfast and begin to do some summaries and outlines.

We'll see how does it go.

I hope you had a nice weekend. I've had it for sure!

Enjoy,

Cherry

...

Today I'm going to a family reunion!

We're meeting at my Grandma's house to have lunch, talk and enjoy.

But this time my boyfriend will come too.

I'm sorry, it's late. I have to take a shower and we're leaving in less than an hour.

Yesterday it was cool. We had the dinner in a friend's house, we drank something and we went to a pub. Later, they went to a rave but my boyfriend didn't feel very well. He had stomachache and I stayed with him until 5.30.

Then I came back to home.

Nice weekend, of course!

Enjoy your weekend!

Cherry

Saturday's Afternoon

What to do today? I don't know!

I must recognize that I don't have any good idea.

Lack of inspiration maybe.

I'm trying to write the list that I mentioned before but I have to do so many things here in home, like washing the dishes, tidying my room and stuff like that, so I maybe try it later.

I'd like to show you some good songs in Spanish that I like. I'll put youtube links because I don't want to edit my playlist right now.

Marea - La luna me sabe a poco



Manolo García - Carbón y ramas secas



Fito y los Fitipaldis - La casa por el tejado



Saratoga - Si amaneciera



Mägo de Oz - Diabulus in musica



Tierra Santa - Caballo de Troya



Heroes del Silencio



Here it goes one song that I really love. It's a version of "Dust in the Wind" (by Kansas). It's more or less the same cover, but with Spanish lyrics (which mean something little different from the original song)

Mägo de Oz - Pensando en ti



Enjoy!

Cherry

Starting my day

I've just woken up now.

I know, it's late, but I tonight I went out with my friends and my boyfriend.

We went to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate the birthday of one of my friends.

Later, my friends went to a pub to drink something and my boyfriend and I stayed at my home to watch a film.

He said to me: I don't know what can you like about me.

Suddenly, an idea appeared in my mind! I'll make a list of things that I like about him to remind him how special is.

How does it sound?

If he likes it, I'll be really happy!

But I'll do it later, now it's 13.30 and I'm going to make the lunch!

I thought about pasta! Do you like it? I really do!

Have a nice weekend!

Cherry

...

So self-disappointed...

What a shit of exam I did this morning...

I'll tell about it later, now I'm going to have lunch...

Cherry

...

Some pics that I made with "PhotoFiltre"

I used to take pictures from the Internet and modify them with the program "PhotoFiltre".

I also added a representative sentence or whatever.

Well, there's nothing special in all this, but I got some fun doing it.

Have a nice day!

Cherry

...

What a morning...

I did a Linguistics exam this morning.

I think I’ll pass it because it wasn’t difficult.

I’m very tired. I’ve slept only three hours this night because I spent the night studying (until 4.30 am). Yeah, I’m crazy!

I think I’ll go to the bed right now to rest because I can’t stand.

I bought an amazing T-shirt this morning to celebrate that I finished the exam.

I don’t use to buy so many things but I liked it and it wasn’t expensive (9,95€ , what comes to be 15,63$ and 7, 89£), it was like a little caprice for me.

I’ll post a picture of the T-shirt if I can when I wake up.

So what are my plans for this afternoon? I really don’t know.

At the moment I’m trying to create a list of music because I don’t want to include youtube videos at any time I want to post the music that I like.

What the hell is going on? It seems impossible to create a simple playlist!

I think I’m never going to finish it!

Ok, I’ve got it!

You can check it just at the sidebar!

Have a nice day!

I’ll go to sleep a little.

With love,

Cherry

…

Some songs that make me stand up and eat the world!

Simple Plan - Shut Up



The Knack - My Sharona




Blink 182 - All the Small Things



The Coral - Dreaming of You



My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words



And this is one of my favorites!

The Killers - Mr. Brightside



Now you know me a little more ;-)

I'll post more songs later!

With love,

Cherry

...

Today: tiring day but with a happy end!

I’ve realised that time runs faster and faster every day.

It seems that it was yesterday when I started my first year at the University and tomorrow I’m ending the academic year.

I’m doing an English Grammar exam to celebrate it!

When I end writing this post, I’ll carry on studying.

I’ve spent the afternoon mainly studying. When I finished I went to my boyfriend’s work to see him.

He was so happy and he was making jokes all the time. He also was very nice with me.

Sometimes I think that I don’t deserve him. He’s too special.

We’ve been walking and talking about our day. I explained to him that I’ve been thinking about him during this day. I really wanted to see him.

He’s really cute. And when he smiles… I feel a melting sensation.

I wouldn’t say that he’s a really hot boy but he has so many things that I like. These things make him special.

Well… I don’t know how is all this going to be, but every day I feel that I love him a little more.

I’m sorry, today I’m a little melancholic and sensitive.

I drank a coffee thirty minutes ago and I’m still tired… But I must study, I want to do it the best I can…

Mmmm… I’d like to be on Friday now, it’d be really cool…

And this weekend… I won’t do anything. Anything at all. Well… I’ll study a little because I want to pass my exams.

If I pass them, I won’t have to repeat them in September so I may go two weeks on holiday to San Francisco.

I’m really excited with this idea. If I go, it’ll really be special.

Two weeks studying English in the morning and enjoying my stay.

I didn’t say it before but I love travelling and visiting new places. When I visited London this summer I really got in love. What a fantastic city!

One of my dreams is to move to another country. I’d like to live another life in some different place from Spain.

I don’t know if I’ll like the US, but I really want to check it by myself. Maybe I find there my place in this world.

Whatever… I’m really happy with this idea and it’s a dream for me.

Fight for your dreams, friends!

Cherry

…

What about me?

I’m very surprised because I saw some blogs of this site to have a little of fun and I discovered a lot of blogs about families or people.

I find really interesting to post things about oneself and his/her relatives.

It’s really emotive to find stories about trips, holidays, weekends or daily experiences.

I enjoyed it a lot.

And well… I suppose that anybody has read my blog yet but I want to introduce a little bit more myself.

My name is Sara. I was born in a city near Barcelona.

Nowadays I live in a city called “Sant Joan Despí”. It’s situated 7 km from Barcelona.

As I’ve already said, I’m 18 and I’m proud of being this age.

I’m studying English Philology (or English degree, as you want) at the University of Barcelona. I chose it because I like languages. In my opinion, language is a very important thing in life and which make us communicate and establish relationships.

I like to be a student but it sometimes becomes very hard.

I’ve been with a very nice and special boy for 4 incredible months and I think that he’s the ultimate. Yes, I know that I’m young to say this, but I really believe in it.

I have friends. Some of them are good ones. Some of them are just… friends. But I’m happy because I know that the good ones will always be here, or at least that’s what I want to believe.

I should remark that I have a friend who has never failed me. She has always be by me side and I love her as a sister. Her name’s Joëlle. She was born in Swiss but she moved to Barcelona when she was a child. She’s great.

I don’t have brothers or sisters, I’m an only child. Sometimes I’d like to have somebody else here in home (apart from my parents) but that’s the way it is.

About my parents… I can perfectly say that I’m fortunate because I have a mother that always listens to me and tries to help me. My father also listens to me and he wants me to become a great person. Well, both them want the best for me.

My passion (apart from languages) is music. I listen to it every day, at every hour, whenever I can and wherever I can. I couldn’t stop listen to music. I never get tired.

I used to play guitar. Actually I have two guitars (one of them is electric and the other is classical). Nowadays I don’t have time to play. Well… I probably have time but I don’t look for it.

I’d like to play again and become a great player.

What I want to do in my life? I really don’t know. I consider that I’m very mature for many things but here… I find myself lost.

I don’t exactly know what I want to be, but fortunately I know what I don’t want to be. That’s one step!

Well… That’s all. I suppose that I’ve forgotten so many things but… I’ll tell you when they have to be told.

Finally, the only thing that remains to be seen is… Me!

Enjoy your day and have a nice week.

Cherry

...

Carrying on...

Here I go again…

Today has been a better day despite I had a test this morning.

I think it went well.

Every day I am less motivated to study. Every day I do less and less.

It’s hard for me to concentrate and to work. It’s also hard to open a book and to make an outline or a summary.

It’s hard for me to move, to get out and to go away.

I’m tired…

However, I try to be positive. At least I’m trying it so today.

In these last days I’ve been thinking about growing.

When I was a child, I used to believe that being old was cool. I wanted to grow and I wanted to be a teenager.

Now that I’m eighteen, I’ve realised that growing is not as cool as I thought.

Being an adult requires responsibility and not much time for having fun.

I know I can’t do anything to change it, that’s all.

I’d like to have eighteen years until I died. What a crazy desire!

I suppose that being an adult has some advantages too, as getting married or being mother. But is shocking for me to understand that all in which I’ve believed during years is not what it seemed.

My mother says that I’ve got the Peter Pan’s syndrome. When I hear her saying it, it’s impossible for me to contain my laugh, but I’m starting to think that she’s right.

Maybe I don’t want to grow, maybe I want to stay this way.

But time runs, you can’t stop it.

So, what can I do? I think that the answer is easy to say, but difficult to put it in practice: Enjoy your life.

When I say this, I don’t mean to live a crazy live as a “carpe diem”, without caring, without assuming responsibilities, but living it the best way you can without forgetting that you can enjoy, you can have fun, you can do as many things as you want but you also have remember that you have obligations and duties.

What a complete analysis about life, isn’t it?
Enjoy, friends!

Cherry

...

Studying...

I should be studying... But it’s so hard for me.

I can’t concentrate…

Tonight my friends are going to a concert. I would have gone too but I don’t feel well.

There’s something wrong.

I don’t have motivation to see anyone. I don’t want to see them. I don’t want to know anything about them.

I feel tired.

You try to do things well. You also try to make everybody happy.

So why don’t they take it into account?

Why do they judge you?

Are these friends?

So many questions today…

I’ll think about it.

I have a Spanish grammar Test on Monday. I have more than 100 pages to study, but it’s impossible. It’s really impossible to read completely one of them.

My mind is out.

I don’t want to go out today.

I want to lay in my bed and just think about nothing.

Music in my head…

With love,

Cherry

…

My first feelings...

What is going on with the world today?

Sometimes I get very disappointed when I think about it.

One day I was seen as a good friend, as a good daughter, as a good person.

Now friends think that I’m not fair, my parents think that I’m going wrong and people… I don’t want to know what people think about me.

So many things within my head…

But first, let me introduce myself:

I’m an eighteen years old girl who’s trying to find her place in the world. I’m from Spain and I’m studying English Philology, that’s why I’m writing in English.

So I hope you can forgive me if I say or spell something wrong or if there’s something that can cause a misunderstood.

I’ve realised life is not so complicated but people are making it so. Sometimes I think that things are easier than their appearances show.

Maybe my thoughts and my feelings are here because I’m still a teenager and my spirit is still rebel.

But I am what I am and I don’t want to change my personality nor my character.
However, living in this world is sometimes very difficult for me.

As everybody else, I have my good days and my bad ones, my glorious feelings and my inglorious ones, my hopeful faith and my desperation.

Whatever…

In this Room of Silence, I’ll do whatever I want and say whatever comes to my mind.
In this Room…

I’ll be just myself.


Cherry

...

What is a Room of Silence?

It’s a metaphor.
It’s the place where you are yourself, where you don’t have to hide. It’s also a place where you can do whatever you want to do and say whatever you want to say.
It’s a place where you don’t have to care about anything, a place in which you are free.

It’s a place that you can find inside yourself if you want to do so…
