Sometimes

I hope you have a good start of the week. 

People are always telling everyone that, but sometimes, they might just be wrong.

 

Fashion Weeks 2014

All I have to say is that these times of the year are just awesome. I love that fashion around the world takes over and makes the best dressed people (some that you could only imagine living in magazines) step out in masses and be gathered for just one purpose, FASHION. 

Though this year it is different due to the loss of our beloved Fashion Guardian, Joan Rivers. A minute of silence please, to ease her soul. She was irreverent, had no problem on saying what was on top of ther mind and was not afraid of saying outloud what we were all thinking. 

Getting back on the Fashion note, I think that many just can't handle the fact that they are not experts (of course some are but not all) and there are various times that shows find this out, and make an awesome outcome out of it. Like Jimmy Kimmel for example with this Lie Witness News space in his show. 

 

This was amazing. Loved specially the new Chandler Bing designs LOL. Speakinf the 20 years since Friends. 

Fashion is a big inspiration for me, it takes creativity to another level and makes the person be who the person really is through personal expression. It forms character, it forms a strong sence of personality to each their own. 

I hope you are spending a nice saturday, and make the best out of it. I know I am. 

Start of the week

My week is going to be cray cray. To start it off right I have a midterm to take, a presentation of a project and some huge readings for late at night, which is not bad, but just crazy for my brain to add up so much info in just one day. But fear not, I will be ok and that is why I leave you with cute puppies and a place where I just wish I was at the moment.

Have a nice start of the week!

Apology

Sorry guys for the lack of posts this past months! it's been so hectic that I have been slacking on here and I miss you all!

But unfortunately, I won't be coming back this week! I am in finals and I finish them on monday! After that I will be being more chatty over here!

In the mean time feel free to wonder around the blog! i am sure there will be some interesting blog post that will catch your attention!

here some of them :)

I hope you have a great day!!

Painting...

...my nails. I haven't done that in a week! i can't believe it from me.

I've had a hectic week. Like for real, crazy hectic week. University, work and life have been beasts on me. But I have a little time to breath and to pain my nails. Which i am so happy about! I don't like my nails to be naked. It makes me a lot more self conscious. I have the habit of not letting my nails rest, but I figured, as I have zero time to spare lately, that I prefer to have naked nails instead of chipped nails. 

But I finally painted them and I feel much better that way. It boosts my self esteem. I feel prettier, and (for a weird reason) healthier and happier. 

I hope you are having an awesome Sunday.

Week in review (March 11-17 2013)

I had a great weeks you guys!

I met with a lot of awesome people, help my bestie score dates with the guy she likes, had a BBQ with some of my friends from school, ate macaroons, had lunch and started classes at Uni. 

Green tea Macaroon <3

It is all a big circle, you meet and greet and wait and meet again and I am loving that there is still great people in my life to share it with. 

On Monday and Tuesday the routine was on going to work and then home. On Wednesday the journey began going to work, meeting with the bestie for lunch and help her decide her outfit for her date later that night and then home to change and go to class. I am seriously trying to figure out what is going to look like when my school work and actual work get to the crazy point. If you know what I mean. 

The week went by smoothly. On Friday I had the evening free and that is when some friends and I met up to prepare a good old BBQ to get reunited and have a little fun catching up and  eating. It all gets better with some food in the way (and alcohol too). 

 

loving our faces! 

Catching up with the friends is always a good way to relax. The next day I had a a nice evening with the family for my uncle's birthday. 

hii! there's me on the left! 

And today I had to go vote, wait in line for 40 minutes and then mark the sheet in 30 seconds. The longest wait ever. 

But all in all, it was a great week. I have had a really good time.

Sunday Funday: week recap

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all had a great weekend and had fun! I can say that it has been nice and somewhat relaxing.

Now, on to recap the Highs and lows of this week for me. IT all started on Monday. Killer day, class all day  and 2 tests to top it off. In one test I did great, on the other one..well it was tougher. But not impossible. Then, it all went smoothly in my late night class (World Economics) and after that I went home and fell deep asleep (I was super tired).

On Tuesday, I have a very random schedule, I have no class all day and at night is when 2 hours of class begin for me. It drains my brain so much. It is a very late night class and it makes me dizzy. We had a surprise test.Yes. HORRIBLE. IT was supposed to be this Monday but Oh Well.

Then on Wednesday, I got the grades of another test and it was awesome! an A. Please I know my stuff :) also another late night class.

I got two other tests, this time one on Thursday and another one on Friday. Interesting week right? haha I hope I haven't bore you to death till now. If you did, please forgive my uneventful week so far. On Friday it got much better! I got to go to eat sushi and catch up with one of my cousins! We are crazy sushi ladies. We had a blast and ate way too much.

Yesterday was baking day for mamma and me. We came up with a new cupcake recipe we have never heard of (I hope we invented it, if not, thumbs-up to whoever did too!). Mamma has the flu and she hasn't been feeling great, so I decided to treat her with a little sweet. It was rum and raisins cupcakes. So good. This is whats left of them.

And today, Sunday, we went for a little Chinese Adventure and brought home some takeout. It is dreadful to have to cook while you're not feeling so good, so I proposed the little indulgement (is that a word? I don't know haha)

Later we are going to watch some movies at home with some popcorn.

I hope you are having a great time this September and make it a good one!

Have a nice day!

Back to School(well.. University): First Week

Today begins my second week of classes. It's weird to start on a Wednesday, it totally freaks out my biological calendar. I'm a person of habit, but I try to always switch things up and want to get out of my comfort zone. This week has been quite like that. I decided to take a workshop during the first days of classes where they taught us how to handle making the CV, the personal interviews and test when you apply for a job and how to dress properly for it. 

It was a huge success for me, I went all by my self when normally I'd ask for a friend to come with me. I feel I am becoming a little more secure and confident every time I take little steps like this one. Baby steps they say. 

The long way down to the underground floor at campus. 

As long as classes go, each and every single them have their positive and negative aspects. But luckily I am focusing more on the positives than the negatives. The teachers all seem nice and are very immersed in what they know and have a lot of good advice and experiences to share. The work for these classes has doubled up. I already have way too much readings to catch up with, but I am not complaining, I am quite enjoying the fact that I will be reading more, something I just don't do so much. 

Speaking of reading...Our brand new Library building. 

The weather is awful, I have been going to University with many layers of clothes so that I don't freeze to death, and to compensate that I have been drinking lots of coffee (surprised?). I have really missed being in there. Those walls and the corridors are just great, they are like my 3 security blanket, the first is home, the second one is my school. Oh and the people, yes, I've made good friends and met a lot of different people all with great stories to tell. 

This is a recap of my week, I hope you have a great day and make the best out of it. If an opportunity shows up, don't over think it and just go grab it.

Back to School: Notebooks

Hey Everyone!

I have been supply shopping for University and came across some pretty notebooks. I always, always, always use notebooks, binders, for me, are just so bulky and non-functional at all. What I do, is buy 2 of 5 subject squared paper notebooks and divide them  with in the classes I have. Lined paper is just not something I like. 

The notebooks I bought where from a local brand called Norma, which has a wide variety of designs. I tend to gravitate to the pretty and girly and fun designs. Last semester I bought one with Hello Kitty in the cover, which also came with...wait up! STICKERS! Oh I'm such a small kid with my sticker mania :) 

This semester I went for this cute Chococat cover one.

And this Paul Frank one.

I am taking 7 classes, 5 from this semester and 2 from an advanced one to make my next semester a little less stressful. 

You always have to go for the method you like the most and works out for you the best way. I like my notebooks for note taking and I literally write every important piece of the class into them.

I hope you are having a great week!

Sunday Funday: Semester is O.V.E.R

Hey everyone! 

I am so glad to tell you all that I am officially a free person! No more dreadful university assignments, no more hard core studying! For a month and a half at least, which is more than enough to have a refreshing gasp of air and just have fun and catch up with everything that I wanted to do through the semester but couldn't get it done, leisure wise. 

July is flying by, which by the way, is my BIRTHDAY MONTH! eeeeeep! I am turning 21 this Tuesday July the 10th and are just too excited. I have no big plans for that day, just spend time with family and have a nice dinner, but the weekend is definitely the time to enjoy the festivities with the good friends.    

Now that the semester is over, we had an awesome time with friends last night, I caught up with my best friend X, that's how we call each other, she calls me S and I call her X...weird but we've known each other since pre-school and she's like my sister from another parents. And to finish the night off, we gathered around at a friend's house and had some drinks and chatted and played some games. It was a great day, after the horrific 2 finals I had to take on a Saturday. 

This is going to be a good winter break. I can feel it. Now I have to go do laundry and clean my room that has turned upside down this week. 

I leave you with our Chilli's dessert. 

Have a great day!

Dealing with stress: Project Submission Week

Hey Everyone! 

As the weeks pass by and we are in the middle of June, for some of us, living in a complete different system than the US and some European countries methods of Universities, it's the most stressful and hideous weeks of all the semester. Project Submissions. Yes, Scary. And horribly stressful. You need to check of the parts of the project are all well structured and well developed and do some final changes to make it all ready for the teachers. 

What I like to do during these awfully painful weeks, in order to relief stress, is blast out to my favourite songs and just loosen up for a moment, the best way to make a break and relax for good 30 minutes and then you are back and ready to keep up the work. I do not tend to listen to music while doing written papers from classes such as Management or any hard core thinking process. 

Another stress reliever for me is to sit down for a moment, take deep breaths, inhale, exhale and just listen to the way air passes through your air canal. It will make you feel much more light headed and in peace from all the tiny details you have been paying attention for a while. This is also great because it will make your train of thoughts more clear and will help you to look at the problem in a different way and take different courses of action to solve it. 

I do not tend to pull all nighters, I hate them! I need to have at least a good 5 hour sleep (which is not bad) or else I'll be a cranky little piece of person and I am not a very pleasant one to be around if I have not slept well. I prefer to sleep it off and continue the next morning setting my alarm clock pretty early. 

Somw good other stress relievers are doing any sort of exercise or cardio activity for half an hour to an hour, you will release endorphins and will end up with more willingness and energy to do your work. I know it sometimes just is impossible to fit it in your day or schedule, but just going for a simple walk can do wonders for you. For more about walking click here. 

There are tons and tons of practices that you can do, and the above are just a few of my favourites! I hope you find this post interesting. 

Tell me, what do you do to avoid high waves of stress during hard weeks of final submissions or even final exams?

Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp: Week 7

Hey everyone! 

Another BVBC is here, but we could only see half of the challenge. Buying and styling on a budget is difficult enough to do it under time pressure. Right I sometimes take 2 hours to pick up the perfect clothes for the perfect outfit. 

I loved this week's challenge, and as the competition comes to an end, the challenges are being more stressful and a lot more relevant. 

Here is this weeks episode if you missed it! 

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have a great weekend!

Updateable me: University, Life

Hey Everyone!

I hope you spent a lovely mother's day with the ones you love! We spend it chilling in the house, I cooked a nice Dinner, Pampered the most amazing women and just relaxed from everything, the midterms just pushed me to the limit and just went home after every exam just feeling miserable. But I can't complain with my grades, they are pretty high and now I feel dumb for feeling so miserable after them! hahaha

(being buried with books much? hahaha) 

Now, I have some serious assignments to get done, as the semesters go by, i feel it is much more work to be done and is a hand full of everything, I needed this week of study to start to realize that with a stable way of life comes all the ups and downs, you just need to know which are your priorities. Up to some point I felt like quitting university and decided to follow a career path more like the Kardashians, going to nice parties, knowing the right people and putting my name on every single thing possible! hahaha I love them, don't get me wrong, but I was stressed out and horrified by my luck at the moment. 

In a more stable state of mind I can say that I would not want my life to be anything other than what its been so far, and with baby steps you can achieve a lot. 

Having good friends, and an awesome family by my side just make things a lot easier and bearable.

It's time for me to keep on doing university assignments but I love talking to you so much that I feel relaxed while writing these posts <3
