treat.

I found out that at my university patisserie (the one in which students practice and prepare the pastries and sweets and all) is selling macarons. 

Yes, here where I live is not that usual to find macarons else where and you really need to try your hardest to find them and when you find them, you will probz not want to forget that place. I am a big, huge, fan of them. As you can see from the pictures of macarons posted on instagram. 

That is my treat. Once a week, after I eat lunch, I go to the patisserie and bye one of those. It just makes my day and my week. 

Favorite place to be in? Ladurée *heaven*

Favorite person eating macarons? Blair Waldorf (had to make a Gossip Girl Reference) 

Do you have a weekly treat that you indulge in? Which one is it?

Gossip Girl Acapulco

What is wrong with this title? The Acapulco part. It's not that I have anything against it being in Mexico or anything. It's just that the script is all wrong in my perspective. I speak spanish, and that is not the best language to use in an ELITE. 

The clothes, the looks, the names are all great, they have kept the essence of the characters, but I just can't bear that they are doing it. It's like cloning a baby with very poor biotechnology and the clone turns out with just one eye and a crooked smile. That bad. A spin-off just doesn't seem right. In any way

I feel a little heart broken after watching the preview. I just.. I can't. Maybe if I watch it with other eyes (note: I might need to surgically remove my eye balls for that to be possible) I might pass out some of the atrocities I have witnessed.

I hope that with time, the writers will notice those language probz, and fix it. 

Still in shock, in part angry, part bewildered and part dead in my own skin, I wonder WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

It's just my opinion, don't take it like I have some serious issues with Mexicans, I just have them with the fact that they took my favorite show and did it all weird and not right.

What do you think? They did a good job? or just not that good, or horrible?

Gossip Girl's Final Season

Is anyone else as sad as me that my most cherished TV series is coming to an end? Is it just me? I want to know. 

Three episodes in the new and final season and I am already feeling that hole in my existence from knowing I won't have it back after that. I will most definitely miss a lot of things from the show. Some of them have been already portrayed in the Wetpaint site (you can get a scoop there!). 

Now, for the real deal. My  best friend and I have self-proclaimed somewhat as the real life S and B. You might figure out who is S (me) and who is B (her). We have a friendship that has lasted for so long that we truly ARE family. I would never think about telling her that we are not going to be close or friends any more (I couldn't live with that)...We've had our fair share of fights through our lives too, and who wouldn't with 15 years of knowing each other!? Yet together we stand, and we like scheming as much as B and S do. So yes,  there might be others that state the same as us, but we like to think there is no friendship like ours! Well enough with me and my bestie, on we go with this memorable post. 

To be honest, the first couple of episode made me a little uneasy, with Blair all "old-school" and Serena all "grown up". The spice of them was just not there yet. And that promise (a very naive one if you ask me) between B and C that they have to find peace on their unfinished business for them to be able to go strong as  a couple (Ok, I'll admit that it is kind of cute and romantic and very hearts and flowers kind of pact) Oh and the engagement ring? That one is even cuter! 

This new episode (careful! Spoilers coming!) just made me reconnect! The old Gossip Girl was here! And the scheming continued, but from the newbie Sage that is..well..doing Nate. I think her character is what the producers said to be Gossip Girl coming full circle. She has the power at Constance, she is Serena and Blair in one with little hint of Georgina and Little J. She's got the older girls rounding up their minds! 

What about Dan? I just hope he knows what he is doing. I think he has become what he always despised. One of those manic, manipulative, rich and spoiled kids from the Upper East Side (well without the money anyways). And Georgina...Seriously? That was an unexpected combination to see (honestly, not so unexpected) 

Chuck Bass, what can I say about him? He is gorgeous, he is rich, he is now the gentleman with his girl and he is just breathtakingly HOT. I want him to finish all his business and just be with Blair already!!!

The highlight of this episode: "DOROTA! I'm feverish!" After Chuck was with her and left her..well..hanging. 

What do you think about Nelly Yuki being back and as Bad as it can get? She has the power in her hands to make Blair tumble and fall (just like the London Bridge), will she be able to get her "revenge" and conquer? I am seriously looking forward to see what happens! 

I think I will wrap this post up, or else it will have to be a complete story book from me! 

As the series go on, I will most definitely continue writing about it! I am super excited to see what else happens but also very much sad about it. 

And what I'll miss the most? this phrase: 

"Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite.....You know you love me, XOXO, Gossip Girl"

Bookish bit.

I've been reading a lot lately, it's not just for university, but also for pleasure. I think the effect of not having one my favorite, if not all time favorite, tv show off air for so long, Gossip Girl, and the fact that this season is going to be it's last, is just making me go crazy. 

So crazy I've went, that I decided to read all bout in the series written by Cecily von Ziegesar. And so far, they are very much entertaining. Who doesn't love a good old gossip story from all the elite and their dirt? I'm 2 book in the series and read them for just 3 days. One of them was only 100 pages, or so, long. 

I will keep you updated with this new reading thing. But for this week it will have to wait, this week my midterms began and I have pretty much like hundreds and hundreds of pages to read, not in the pleasure side of course, but course wise. 

I hope you have a nice day!

Headbands

Hey Everyone!

Headbands, I've got quite of a ride with them, i loved them, then hated them, then loved them again and back to hate. Lately, I'm in the love face again. 

Ever since Gossip Girl came out, with Queen B using them, I kind of grew into them once again. Don't wanting to spend money on them, I never really had the patience to sit and look for the ones that suited my style just yet. 

I'm talking about 3 years ago. 2009. It's the middle of 2012 and I found the best ones, for me. A champagne  one which is a turban kind of style. It is just gorgeous. The other ones are more common, just plain colours and very basics. 

Yes, I have very few, but I guess they are the best way to put a twist to your outfit.
