Happy Halloween!

Hi!!!

Today Friday 31st is Halloween and I feel really happy because I was really excited waiting for this day.

I don't know how is the weather out there but here is raining a lot and it's all very dark...

I have to say that I finally bought a pumpkin and I could make a Halloween Pumpkin!

Actually it's now in the entrance of my house, but instead of being outside is here inside welcoming people who come (unfortunately, nobody appart from the family has come still).

And, of course, I've put a candle inside and... my Halloween Pumpkin is really really cuteee!

Mmmm I think that a day like this is just perfect for resting in home and watching a film with popcorn and a big and warm blanket!!

I'm gonna leave you because somebody's waiting for me!

Enjoy!

Hi!! I'm here again after some time without uploading!

Hi to everyone!

I've been very busy during last weeks.

I'm trying to organize myself with my classes still.

4 days are only remaining for Halloween and I'm very excited because I've finally found a pumpkin to make a Halloween Pumpkin with its eyes, its mouth and it candle inside!

Yeah, I'm like a child!

Well... I haven't got much more to say because of my current lack of inspiration.

The thing is that I hate Mondays... I don't get tired of praying to God for a flood or an earthquake to be able to stay at home instead of going to attend our dayly obligations but I think that God is too busy in some more important issues (which I perfectly understand ;-) ).

Today I got surprised in Phonetics and Phonology class when the teacher has told to us that the word "with" has to be pronounced with the final "th" voiced. I had never heard that. It sounds really strange to me to hear with with a voiced end... And, what's more, I can pronounce it but I feel as I had something strange in my tongue when I do so... LOL

Have a nice day and enjoy^^!

Mmmm lotta things!

Mmmm... There are too many things in my head...

Well... firstly, I couldn't find the Scottish shirt... I tried to find it even in shopping centers in which I had seen it but it was impossible so I think that I won't be able to purchase it... but anyway, there are things more important than that.

On Saturday, I had two birthday celebrations. One of them was of a friend which is quite new in our group of friends and I don't know her very well still but I must confess that I spent a nice time having a barbecue with her, our friends and her family. You know, it's a different thing. We mainly celebrate our birthdays going out to a restaurant and after going to a disco but her family did something different. They make some kind of family and friends reunion. It was cool.

Later at night, we had another birthday. It was of one of my best friends and we did what we use to do: going to a restaurant and then we went to drink something to a pub but I spent a great time anyway.

I spent all Sunday with my boyfriend because we celebrated our nine months together. It was cool. I feel really well with him. Well, being honest, I've never been as well as I am right now with him. So I think that all the possible words to describe how yesterday was are superfluous.

Today morning I went to the University to my classes. They were cool. I can't complain. Well, I should say that I really wanted to go there. I mean, today it wasn't an obligation to go to class, it was like a pleasure.

And... this afternoon... Mmmm it's full of homework and.. why not some reading for pleasure or playing guitar?

I hope you had a nice but not so busy weekend^^

Enjoy

I wanna buy a Scottish shirt!

Hi!! Here I am again.

Today classes have been really tiring... And I didn't have time to relax myself this morning.

I don't know what I'm going to do this afternoon but I'm planning to purchase a Scottish shirt.

I find them really smart.

Some days ago I went to a Shopping center and I found one Scottish Shirt in Pull & Bear (I don't know if it sounds to you). I really want to purchase that one but I don't know if I will find it.

Here's a pic of the shirt. Isn't it just cool?

It's not cheap but it's neither expensive. 14'95€ which comes to be 20'6$ and 11'7 English pounds. How does it sound?

I'm trying to be a saver during this year (at least until it ends) because I've always been the worst saver ever and I need to learn to earn money and not to waste it.

If I could, I would spend much more money than I have in clothes, books, music, etc. but this year I'm starting to afford some expenses like travelling (in order to go to my University I have to take the train twice per day), books for my degree (that means literature books, course guides, reading packs, photocopy packs, etc.) and my own expenses that I already had to pay (that implies smoking (yeah, I have to stop smoking!!!), music, books, clothes, etc.).

My parents always give me a little help but I have to gain that money by my way so I'm trying to enter in an academy of English (as I already told) and doing some particular classes to obtain some extra money (which is now really important for me).

Well... Talking about good news: Tomorrow I'm starting my first classes at the Music College of Barcelona (which is called Liceu) and If I had to be honest... I'm quite nervous... Ok... I'm not being honest right now. It's more like: Oh, my God!!!!!!!!!!!!! What am I going to do there? And how will I find the classrooms? How will I know if I have to bring the instrument all the days or not?

But don't worry, I'm fine, I'm not becoming mad... It's just my little kid inside that tries to rise up and pushes against my maturity... But all is gonna be allright, don't worry.

Well... no more drama! I'm going to prepare a coffee because I'm a little sleep LOL

Let's see how the afternoon goes and if I can purchase that shirt, I'll tell you and show you how it looks!

Enjoy!!!!

My first post of this October!

Hi to everyone!

I've been very busy during these days. University has begun and it's very complicated to get all done and prepared.

You know... you need a lot of organization and it's difficult for me to organize myself...

It seems like a contradiction because on the one hand I love to have all controlled and I hate to lose control but on the other hand I'm a disaster in terms of organization (well, and in other issues too LOL).

It's a strange beginning because unfortunately I don't coincide with many of my friends in class.

I have several subjects which I have to course all alone. But if you look it positively, it's a nice way to make new friends, isn't it?

These days my head seems to be about to explode. There's so information inside... And the pity is that there's not only information but also problems with friends.

And one of my worst faults (I've realized that it's really a fault and not a virtue) is that I'm too empathic and when I talk with one friend who has a problem, I cannot erase it of my mind and I keep carrying all by myself. So the result is like a huge bomb filled of problems, tension and sorrow and then it's me who suffers and not who really was supposed to suffer.


One of the good news about all that is that I'm gaining weight. I think I was a little low of weight and now I see myself better. That's the good point of all that. Well, I still want to gain some kilos and do some gymnastics in order to become more athletic.

I've always been a disaster with the majority of sports except from basketball (because I'm tall and I could jump for rebounds LOL) so I think that if I get more athletic, that may change.

MMM... Today, while we were having lunch, I've told my mother that I want to buy a pumpkin and then empty it, make the eyes and the mouth and put a candle inside. I've also told her that I want to put it in the lobby. We did it once when I was a child. She has reminded it to me.
She said: "But why do you want to do that if we already did it once?"
I answered: "Yeah, mum but I was a child and I had no conscience about Halloween and what it signified".
Then she went again: "But you could some traditional things from here, like making "panellets", don't you think?"
And me: "Yes, mum, whatever... But anyway, I'll buy a pumpkin and do all that, I'm really excited!"

Yes, I'm like a child, but I've explained to her: "Well, I cannot go to England or the US to live in my own skin what Halloween means so If I cannot go, I'll bring some of that here!"

It's not my fault, it's fall who makes me act this way LOL!

Well... I wanted to explain all that, now I'm leaving to my High School in order to get my diploma!

I hope to be here again soon^^!

See you and ENJOY!

Great News^^

Hiiiiiiiii,

What's up? Well I thought I didn't have anything new to tell but I'm in a period of lapsus mentis... (which means mind errors if you didn't know so).

Firstly, I've been admitted at the Musical School so I'm going to pay the enrolment on Monday and I'll become an official Music Student. It sounds really well. I feel really lucky.

Today I've been renewing my ID. I took my photos yesterday and I've gone to the Police's Office to do it. My ID has the new format which, by the way, is quite awful. The pic is in black and white and if you look at it, you'll realize that I look like a convict!

Yeah, a disaster LOL!

Nevermind... I'll wait for 5 years to renew it again and I hope that the future pic will be nicer.

I don't know if I told you that here in Catalonia we had a bank holiday on Wednesday (well I think I did so) and we went to a party on Tuesday night.

It was in the city (Barcelona) and it was really full of crowd... I don't know exactly how many people were there but surely hundreds of thousands.

One of my friends took some pics and I wanted to show one of them to you!

Here are my boyfriend and I in the subway! Yeah... I look like a bit sleep... I woke up at 7 am that day and that pic was taken at 2 am of Wednesday!

Mmmm I don't know what I'm going to do this afternoon but tonite we're going to a disco which inagurates one new music area and it's a really good idea, they invite us to 2 drinks so... It's a good opportunity, don't you think?

Well... I must confess that I'm a little tired because I went to renew my ID and later I did some commands like purchasing food, water and other stuff. I also went to recycle some garbage and now I should help to prepare the lunch. It's a little late but my dad arrives at 3 pm at home so we eat all together. I love to help at home^^!

Enjoy your day! It's Friday, a great weekend is waiting for us. The shame is that I've still a Latin assignment for Tuesday to do and some readings of American Literature, concretely Washington Irving and his "Rip Van Winkle", my teacher says it's cool... We'll see ;-)

Have a nice Weekend!

Fall has arrived!

Wow... I feel so happy because fall has finally arrived. It's not my favourite season but it's one which I love.

And it arrived yesterday, in the afternoon. I could really notice it because it was rainy and it was cold outside.

Do you know why I do love fall? Well, there are several reasons:

• I love to feel that cold in the atmosphere.
• There are lots of beautiful landscapes out there.
• Leaves begin to fall and I love to see the orange leaves when they're about to fall.
• I can wear my jackets! I love to wear jackets and, by the way, I bought one at the beginning of September and I'm really anxious to wear it.
• I love rain. I know it's a little annoying but I really love to feel the drops on my skin!
• It's a great season to stay warm at home, with your family or those who you love.
• Or maybe it's the perfect time to be relaxed and enjoy reading a book or writing.
• And of course... It's Halloween!!

Well... If I have to be honest... I've never seen what is Halloween. What I mean is just that here, in Spain, we don't celebrate it. We've only recieved the feeling of Halloween by the American or English films so I know what it might be but I've never lived it and... I'd be really happy if I could do it once only.

Here in Catalonia (region of Spain) we celebrate a party called "Castañada" which consists of... On the one hand, children in school eat chestnuts (I don't know if you have ever heard about them but they're delicious when they're a little toasted). They're also available in the shops or maybe someone sells them in the street.

On the other hand, people here made (or buy in shops) a kind of food made of mass and toppings which is called "Panellets". These toppings can be chocolate noodles, pinions, almonds or whatever you want to put. They're really tasty.

It's a nice party, but the pity is that nobody puts on any custome, nobody rings any ringer and nobody buys candies or sweets for children. I'd love to see the real essence of Halloween in England or the US. It'd be nice to see what this party represents for them.

Anyway, I love this season and its weather as well. So I hope you enjoy it as much as I'll do.

Tomorrow we don't have class because it's a bank holiday here in Catalonia and I don't know what I'm going to do yet but I've heard that all the museums of Catalonia have a free entrance tomorrow so I may take profit, it'd be really instructive!

And... well it's not a bad idea to increase intellect, isn't it?

Have a nice day and enjoy!
