Wow... who might have told? I mean... It feels like yesterday when all of us talked about 2010 as a far, far away future full of... f uturistic things? and here we are now, with no astronautical clothes (but living an 80's revival) or super-advanced technology thingis here and there (other than Iphone, I mean). 10 years ago, I was 16, thinking I was going to be a doctor, and with a bunch of friends who are nowhere to be seen now (not offence meant, just a statement of facts) - a phew exceptions, that is. Today, a decade later, I’m no doctor (but work in a fast consumer goods company, and considering to change my focus), I have a bunch of new friends (and a couple of the old and very good ones), and a Dog. Since going back a decade would get us really tired and feeling like Hell, I’ll just mention some things that made 2009 an important one… so here we go: First of all, it has been the year of Indi’s arrival… that cute little Frenchie Dog has won my heart, and owns it ever since I...

I get back to work today after 2 days ill, and I find 3 bombs. All of them expected (I manage a lot of information), one more like a guess - if I have to be absolutely sincere-, but nevertheless, surprising. I feel like I can't leave for more than a day that everything explodes. Changes are difficult. Changes are scary. Most of the times, we'd like to avoid them like the pest, but sometimes... sometimes they're just what we're dreaming of, since they look like the perfect opportunity to looking forward to a brighter future, one that has been a bit elusive lately.

OMFG I simply CAN'T wait... (been missing this show so much, I can't help but keep watching Cosmopolitan's TV re-runs...)

No Gossip Girl til APRIL???!!! What am I supposed to do, uh? Craving... Video credit: http://neverevered.livejournal.com/

I kinda chose the Champagne Buble dress... Which is what I wanted in the first place. I have to admit, with the hairdo, MAC's make up, and all... I looked slammin'! Glamorous! The flossy-flossy of the party! (and everybody thought so too) I was SO DAMN HAPPY and had SO MUCH FUN!!!

Been wondering, ever since I bought my wonderful champagned - coloured dress, whether to wear it or not to Thursday’s K’s party… It’s a wee bit to dressy, but I love it. And it’s new too… (and you know how hard it is to me to not use something I just bought immediately). It’s got tiny glass beds all over it, and a few chrystals too… sleeveless, and short, with some good discreet pumps, or even flats, it looks awesome. The other option, I love too. It’s the dress I wore to my friend’s wedding, a wonderful blue Cacharel number inspired in Paris. As I said, blue and strapless, plaited on the skirt, it really looks on me. So you see… I don’t know what to do. Drawing copyright Myself

Once upon a time, I got absorbed by, what my closest friends called, “The Friki Club”. And I was happy to oblige, to get involved, to get enthusiastic about plans and energetic about events and presentations… I got so involved, I ended up being directress of a committee. And of a magazine. And in charge for the Facebook page too… Those, where the happy times. Last week though, something happened. The wind, which had been changing for a while now, gave its final thrust… and my fairytale was over. I found myself not in the mood anymore, simply, because the ideology I once believed in was no longer there. And so… I’ve given up. I’ve left my position and decided to retrieve. I’m sad, but proud. There’s only so much a girl can take (an a certain number of e-mails she can receive...)

How weird can it be to find yourself seated at the cinema beside a more-than-50-years-old guy when you’re watching New Moon? Very… very weird. So, I found myself not only distracted by that hunk of a werewolf, Jacob (and I consider myself an “Edward Team” Girl), but by this guy, who I expected to end up doing disgusting things throughout the movie. Which he didn’t, thank God.

Looks like I’ve been granted a prize of this wonderful giveaway of one of my favourite (yet untouchable) on-line shops: bambako. Wouldn’t have missed it for the life, so as soon as I knew about it, I satrted twitting like mad… just in case, for several of my favourites: the Stardust headband, the Orchid Wave headband, the Rinky headbandand the Josephine (100% for the Cure Rinky headband). Let's just hope I get either the first, or the last one, or the second one...

Así que… ROMA Roma fue todo lo que esperaba de ella: romántica, encantadora, íntima, histórica y… Tan italiana… lo único, reconozco que me duelen músculos de los pies que no sabía que existían, y es que, el empedrado del suelo de esta fantástica ciudad es infernal, sobre todo si acabas recorriéndotela de cabo a rabo a patita. Fue la cura ideal para mi desengaño laboral del viernes (lo que no puede ser, no puede ser, y además es imposible) El sábado, que amaneció temprano (4AM), nos hizo un día fabuloso. Aprovechamos para caminar por los alrededores del Coliseo, y por toda la zona que lo rodea, aunque sin entrar, porque llegamos un poco justos de hora. (La zona del Coliseo y el Foro cierran a las 16:30). Aún así… fue fantástico. Con el cielo sin nubes y esa magnífica estampa… fue fenomenal. Sin duda me impresionó bastante, aunque lo imaginara más grande. Visitamos también aquel día, el Pantheon, que aparece de sorpresa entre calles abarrotadas y estrechas. Callejeando, de pronto, ahí es...
