See you in a bit...

 

It all started back in 2008. I was going to Spain to work and decided to do this blog as a way to keep my friends and family aware of what I was doing.

But it was far more than that. I wanted to share some of my thoughts, experiences and feelings with everyone who would read this.

Between 2008 and today, Life has happened and although I still love this blog and it is a very special project to me, I also know I don't have the time to keep it. For now, at least.

So, I don't know if I'll be back or if this is really my last post here, but a big Thank you! to everyone who read it and kept me going on. 

Snowing...

And just when I'm on my way to get the plane to go home for some holidays there's the first day of snow in London. At least I was able to see it. Imagine if when I go back there's no snow anymore?



Things that...

... make me HAPPY!

Hot Chocolate!

 

 Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

 

 To see through the eyes of a child!

 

 To write!

 

 Dance and Music!

 

 The beach!

 

 To travel!

 

Family and Friends!

 

My opinion...

"Je suis Charlie" is all around in the media. But for many reasons I believe that's nothing. Today and yesterday the world woke up a little bit more to what is happening in the world. Not just in Paris.

Their anger is as big as the importance that France has in world economy and politics. But every day there has been deaths in many points in the globe, but it wasn't Paris. And there will always be Paris, right?

I, as a former journalist or still one - as I believe we are always a journalist in our way of thinking - strongly fight for our freedom, being it to our speaking, thoughts or actions. We should be able to live the way we choose and that means having freedom to say whatever goes through our minds and we believe. But, at the same time, we should be aware of the person next to us - we are not alone - and, to have our freedom, we also need to have respect for all that is surrounding us  - and that doesn't happen most of the times.

NO, I do not believe someone should be killed because of what they wrote, said or think. But I also know that this only has this huge importance because it was in Paris, like years ago it was in the USA or in London or in Madrid, and in the meantime there are lots of other people in non developed countries being killed everyday for the same reasons and no one seems to be aware of it or even to speak about it - it's so far away, right? It seems almost like it's in another world... But it isn't!

And probably next week all these events in Paris will be forgotten by most of us until next year comes and everyone will remember its anniversary.

That's how our world is going. That's how people are choosing to live. Having wake up calls only when someone near them or similar to them are killed or attacked. Because nowadays, as always, there are still lives that are more important than others, even when they are all dying for the same causes. 

In my head...

It's incredible how we get along with the new things, how we just go to a point where we can't live without them. And that's me and the Internet. Who would think a few (lot!) years ago that I (and millions around there) would be so completely addicted to it. Usually I don't see myself as an addict to anything or almost - chocolate has a strong power over me! - but still last week I was without internet at my place, only on the phone, but it was limited.

Everything went well until I finished work and go home. It wasn't the same with the mobile and how about my series?! I like to watch one or two before going to sleep and couldn't. My humour was down.

But then I remember I had some movies in my laptop that I never watches it and so that was a bit of an escape from being out of the virtual world. And you know what? I found this movie - Rock of Ages -  that I didn't think it would be a big deal and was surprised to see it not only was good but the songs in it were great - a big reminder of my childhood and the music I used to listen at home.

And since then the songs keep coming to my mind over and over again...

Merry Xmas!!!

 

This year everything is different for me.

A different city.

New people - family - to spend the holidays with.

First time away from my nuclear family.

First time not having to organize anything apart from my presents.

It wasn't bad. But it was a bit sad for me.

Once again I see and believe that family and friends are the best presents we can have in life, so we should keep them as close to our heart as we can.

This year, and with all the different things in my life, I can only say Thanks to all the good people, moments and experiences I have been having this year. So even when I am alone I never feel lonely.

Have a great Christmas and enjoy the time with your beloved ones. 

And soon it will be...

... Christmas! @London

 

 

This Saturday...

It was time to go back a little in time and have the experience of how was it back in the days when the cars looked like this:

 

 

Top Gear Experience @ Regent Street

 

 



London means flirt...ing?...

It was not the first that I heard about it and I have that experience almost everyday.

Until now, what can I say?

It's not that bad when it's a cute guy that you actually find him very interesting (his body/face, at least). But, things are a bit different when the man flirting with you it's not your type or that funny or even when he is - but he KNOWS IT!!! That may be the worst because then he's acting like the arrogant type of men that no woman likes.

Anyway, all this talk just to say that it's true, I'm not sure if it's really across the entire UK but at least in London people like to flirt and no, my friends, it's not them just being nice or polite to you, they - the men - smile a lot looking eye to eye, they call you beautiful girl, blink their eyes, touch your hand on purpose and all the kind of things that you can expect - they even ask you if you are married or have a boyfriend!!

Sometimes you just have to take it in a funny way, other times you really have to be very professional and almost unfriendly so they understand that they have gone too far.
