Reprise

I don't know why but I have become obsessed with this movie. It is the story of two young men and one ideal: become writers.

something NEW

My mom dragged me to the stores and it was the best she could do, haha. She bought a bunch of stuff but among my favorite things are these tights in different colors (for my new obsession of wearing tights all the time) and this purse. Also she bought me a watch (because I'm always late) and a pair of brown boots, yeeeih! She did it out of the blue, it was a nice gesture from her.

a)purple, b) black with floral print, c) gray

a) gray

fairy tales

She thought fairy tales were a bad idea, especially ones involving princesses who were awakened from long sleeps upon being kissed by a prince; apparently stories like that would give the children, all girls, the wrong idea about what to expect in the world when they grew up. Her speech on fairy tales always amused me because I had in my head a long list of things that contributed to wrong expectations in the world, and SOMEHOW fairy tales did not make and appearance on it

put your records on

This song makes me feel a lot better when I'm feeling down

Put Your Records On

by Corinne Bailey Rae

three little birds sat on my window and they told me I don't need to worry/ summer came like cinnamon, so sweet/ little girls double-dutch on the concrete/ maybe sometimes/ we got it wrong but it's alright/ the more things seem to change/ the more we stay the same/ ooooh, don't you hesitate

girl put your records on, tell me your favorite song, you go ahead let your hair down, sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, just go ahead let your hair down
you are gonna find yourself somewhere..somehow

blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely/ sipping tea in a bar by the road/ just relax, just relax/ don't you let those others boys fool you/ got to love that afro hair, do/ maybe sometimes/ we feel afraid but it's alright/ the more you stay the same/ the more they seem to change/ don't you think it's strange?

'twas more than I could take/ pity for pity's sake/ some nights kept me awake/ I thought that I was stronger/ when are you going to realise that you don't even have to try any longer?/ do as you want to

16

Tonight, today, I feel like a 16 years-old little girl..and you?

..and my heart swings for no particular reason

five

My favorite things right now:

1. Boys Before Flowers. Excellent soup opera and I soooooo love Goo Yoon Pyo, love him. I want a boyfriend just like him. Besides, there are tons of cool clothes and Korean

2. Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Everybody, please, go and read it. Don't watch the movie

3. Vanilla and almond ice-cream. Delicious, I don't mind the fat

4. Black tights. I've decided to wear tights this fall. I'll wear them every day if necessary, haha

5. Learning Russian. The language in itself is so interesting, so different to Spanish and my teacher is so cool!

Mona after taking a bath

You are free to think that I am obsessed with my dog though it is not like that. But look at her..she is so funny and cute. Look at this. It was taken after her bath, she wasn't happy. She has a bone in her mouth, it's the only thing that calms her down after taking a bath

reading

I'm reading again (well, technically speaking I keep reading: magazines and comic books, let's say I'm reading novels again) Don't know why I stopped doing it but I hope it won't happen again. I still the remember the first book I couldn't stop reading. How I even cry at the end (it wasn't a happy ending) And how, from that moment I decided that reading was the only thing I wanted to do.

haircut

So, after months and months of doubt, I decided to go to the hairdresser and voilá, this is how I look. Mind my eyes, I feel tired

I'm practicing my poem for the competition, it would be nice to win

placebo

So, concert season started with Placebo's concert. I still feel excited and I can't find my pijamas, no idea what happened to them in the morning. Anyways, the concert wasn't that bad, though. My favorite Placebo's concert is from the tour Soulmates Never Die, I had a great time.

This one started on time. Brian was wearing a white t-shirt with a black vest, wearing his hair as he used to 10 years ago. He looked so skiny, but chic. Skiny jeans were the most wanted tonight. All of them were wearing black ones. Stefan took off his t-shirt as soon as he could. I so understand him, the place was really hot. They started playing songs from the new album, which I didn't know because I didn't like it. But when the classics came, I had fun. There were a lot of songs missing, mainly from their first album, they sang none. What else? My favorite song? Special K.

Here we are, waiting for the concert to start. Oh, please, let me introduce you my concerts partner, he was so hard to find :p

soy como muy mala dando reseñas pero bueno, el concierto no estuvo mal, la música se escucho mucho mejor de lo que esperaba con todo y que había conflictillos técnicos que hicieron enojar a Stefan. Mi compañero de conciertos estaba muy entusiasmado y eso me alegro a mi.

coming soon: Depeche Mode
