whoring around

2010-11-07T19:58:00.003-03:00

rainy rainy rainy weekend, home alone, lots of shopping and partying and driving around town and seeing a million transvestites.

this time next week i'll be DONE WITH MIDTERMS (can't believe it). it'll be soooooo weird not having to go to class..

HOW ARE YOU GUYSSSS? :)

2010-10-09T20:18:00.003-03:00

I miss you, people!

2010-08-27T13:46:00.002-03:00

spent the morning home alone, playing with my dog Teo and guitar playing ♥

the sister will be back from Spain on sunday night! so so happy :)

2010-08-13T19:37:00.005-03:00

even though my sister is in Spain for a month and i miss her TERRIBLY and i'm also home alone at the moment, i'm having the time of my life. this has been the best winter break in the history of winter breaks!! going to the movies, staying in and watching movies, new novels, new clothes, same old friends, many get-togethers, laughs laughs laughs, lots of food, little booze, lots of walking and being stalked by creepy people on the streets.

my cup of tea :)

make sure to check out my personal friend and most talented designer's blog to stay updated with his upcoming show at NYFW! ;) you'll be seeing a bit of me there, too

2010-07-02T20:07:00.004-03:00

taking up a new philosophy seems to be paying off. taking things easy has made happier than anything else. :)

2010-06-21T19:39:00.004-03:00

partied it up over the long and cold weekend with the friends

dancing lots, drinking lots, laughing lots

the answer to all my problems

♥

2010-06-09T14:45:00.004-03:00

(teo+me after our three-hour walk around the mountains)

trying to balance studying AND partying has made me forget that tomorrow is my mum's and my birthday!

not too excited about it, though. for some reason i just hate celebrating it. i guess it's because my house is so so small and it gets so awkward when people want to come and i refuse haha; i'm such a sweetheart, you see.

i guess my life is just too complicated! (................................................)

so now i'm off to do some grammar shit and drink peachy peach tea and bake a cake for tonight's party with the classmates. should be fun :)

read you soon xx

2010-06-02T19:15:00.004-03:00

thrifted balenciaga shirt love forever ♥

spending the weekend at the mountains with my family and my beautiful dog teo was just what i needed to recharge my batteries. eating little + reading lots + walking everywhere = my cup of tea. AND i managed to enjoy myself quite a lot in spite of all the homework and studying i had to deal with. :)

what is no fun at all is grammar's chapter on adjuncts, disjuncts and conjuncts, but billy elliot's soundtrack is making things better.

enjoy my positiveness, kids, it may not last long!

2010-05-22T22:29:00.004-03:00

home alone with my dad = AWKWARD

this week has been filled with glottal stops, , marriage proposals, phonemes and allophones, joyous mornings, ghost stories, English literature, northern accents, dulce de leche and late late tea with friends.

to make things even better, we're taking the week off at uni! yay May 25th!!!

all the same, i have fuckloads of homework.

fuck.

i miss being all creepy on your lovely blogs every day!!! :(

by the way, i got this super awesome military jacket for only ten pesos. which would be like 3 dollars. which would be like 0 pounds. i also got the perfect chunky sweater and a BALENCIAGA ♥ shitrt for 13 pesosssssssssssss (which would be practically free for you, lucky europeans and americans whose currency is not devaluated haha)

thrifting is heaven forever love. ♥

2010-05-04T21:10:00.004-03:00

today was my first day as a private tutor of english as a second language.

i'm tutoring a very very nice and happy girl, so that's a plus! i really hope things work out just ONCE for me.

i've been a busy bee and have felt like crying myself to sleep since the moment i wake up.

kill me people

2010-04-20T20:16:00.002-03:00

i'm writing love letters even though she does not love me.

2010-04-17T11:26:00.004-03:00

fooling around with my webcammmmmmmmmm, i can pretend to be like the rest of the world and have a fancy software on my IPHONE (????) to take instant pictures of me. :)

spending the morning reading about how to teach listening comprehension skills and having an AWFUL cold and an AWFUL AND STUPID fever is NO FUN you guys.

but that won't stop me from grabbing lunch at my friend's placeeeeeeeeee. i should be taking my shower now. so yeah, bye bye kiddos.

oh my god, i will be going to another friend's place TONIGHT apparently. TWO OUTINGS IN ONE DAY?!?!?!? i'm such a crazy party boy, i can't believe myself.......

have a fun fun day!!

2010-04-11T20:14:00.005-03:00

second year's first week: OVER.

and i already have tons of homework.

something (aka EVERYONE I COME ACROSS IN THE STREETS) tells me this year will be extra tough haha. NOT funny. :)

i also have this awful incipient cold which is quite a nuisance, i tell you kids! and as i'm bored and google is at hand, i ended up finding THIS:

Can drinking lots of tea cure an incipient cold?

Ask me tomorrow. I'm on my third kettle and so far the cough is getting worse.

poor guy, i'm taking the risk though!

so, with my life still being this shitty, i will need to stop before i depress everyone.

DO know that i still read your blogs (a thousand times more interesting than this one) every single day!!

2010-03-17T11:25:00.000-03:00

being done with two of my last three finals (the last one to be taken around july/august) i've never felt so happy as today. i still haven't really got used to idleness, but it sure feels amazing.

nothing but days spent watching movies, reading books, making collages, laughing with friends for hours and drinking tea at all times. my cup of tea.

2010-02-21T11:29:00.004-03:00

i miss uploading stuff to this crazy little blog called whoring around and following your blogs and lives which are of course much more exciting than mine. i hate finals and i hate them. ok. that made no sense.

2010-02-11T11:37:00.005-03:00

so, not much has been going on here other than studying, reading, going to the cinema and for a couple of beers and walking about downtown at really odd hours (i cannot believe i haven't been raped. yet.)

i just wanted to do this little post with some of the best movies i've watched as of late :) ENJOY!

The Hours (2002)

Sylvia (2003)

Genova (2008)

The Black Balloon (2008)

Snow Angels (2007)

Phoebe in Wonderland (2008)

Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)

2010-02-04T12:39:00.003-03:00

lots and lots of phonemic transcriptions to avoid studying while pretending i'm doing it (which, in a way, i am so i'm not as lazy as you all think), becoming addicted to BBC's Jane Eyre, working out the chubbiness off my arms and dreaming of getting my hair cut and wearing my new super cool FELIX t-shirts.

2010-01-30T17:36:00.002-03:00

movies + shopping + reading + studying
and NOTHING else here.

anything interesting over there, wherever you are? :)

2010-01-26T07:46:00.005-03:00

it's 7.47 am and I got home only and hour or two ago. this was one the funniest nights of the summer, indeed! it all started at THE meeting point -the bus stop. adri and i took the bus to ju's house, but we sort of got lost among the oh-so expensive houses and grand gardens and ended up walking in circles for, at least, fifteen minutes. it turned out the house was only two blocks from our stop!

there we got yummy pizza delivered to us and chilled by the pool, fanning ourselves with random objects scattered over the place.

at about 1 am we headed to BAR-BAT with cin too, for caipiroshkas and other drinks. this, added to our natural state of drunkness, lightened the night up! we then proceeded to walk ju back to her place and walk cin as close as hers.

ALL I'M GONNA SAY IS WE GOT REALLY CLOSE, for we walked thirty blocks at around 3 am till we got there and watched her safely close the door. GREAT FRIENDS WE ARE, as you can see, but adri and i ended up alone in the middle of nowhere.

we headed to the bus stop and actually waited OVER AN HOUR before the fucking bus come, while all we could do was complain about our sore, and now drag-queen-sized, calves and neck-high butts. oh yeah, no one is ever gonna say i'm a fatass, for it is as hard as a rock now!

it came. it was like a religious experience. and we were so high on our stupidity (NOT CRACK, I SWEAR) that we laughed the whole ride to adri's home, and sang Silent Night in our best mezzo soprano voices (we also did this while walking through cin's neighbourhood, and probably woke up all the slumberers) to the dismay of a small-eared creepy guy sitting near us.

and then i took a cab home, and no pedo cabbie was there to scare me! :)

and then i got my CAE results, after almost two months wait, AND I GOT AN A!!!!! :')

-TEARS OF JOY-

off to sleep?

not really!

love love love and summer heat to all of you!!

2010-01-22T18:51:00.003-03:00

as my sister is about to head to the beach to sell the easy-breezy-beautiful summer-ish skirts that she made with her own pretty hands, we spent yesterday's afternoon shooting our lovely cousin luz wearing them.

too lovely a day for words, laughed as i hadn't laughed in weeks!
AND i also got to meet my one year old cousin. BEST - CHEEKS - EVER.

differences aside, family is still family. :)

P.S time to take up my books again. i feel like a raped whore -that is, very very sad. FINALS, YOU VERY MUCH SUCK!
P.S 2 this is a picture of us stopping the bus in the middle of the street. VERY BELIEVABLE, I KNOW.

2010-01-19T21:27:00.008-03:00

this picture was taken by my grandfather many years ago. i always thought of him when we used to drive by those sunflower fields on our way to the mountains.

due to family circumstances we were never really close, and it puzzles me how i only seldom remember that he WAS a photographer. it makes me happy to think that somehow he influenced me in my love of all things aesthetically beautiful.

2010-01-13T18:51:00.004-03:00

the day was about to become the most boring in the history of boring days until a friend called with dinner+movie plans :)

(it'll only be the two of us but we don't need any more bitches to have fun!)

LAST MOMENT NEWS:

sooooooooooooooooo i took a cab home at about 5 am last night, after rambling on and on about love and sex AND THE LACK OF BOTH.
i'm ALWAYS taking cabs so as not to disturb my poor father, and i ALWAYS call the same company as their cabbies have never turned out to be too weird. until last night. the whole thing went pretty much like this...:

A(ri): hi
C(abbie): hi! the city's dead right now..
A: yeah..
C: SO do you like going out? the club's open tonight
A: mmh yeah not that much.. i went last week and i almost melted
C: well i don't know what kind of music you like but do you like Adonis? (IT'S A GAY CLUB HELLO!!, SORRY I'LL GO ON WITH THE STORY), it gets great ;)
A: NO.
C: hey why don't you write down my number? in case you call the company and the phone's busy, you can just call me and i'll pick you up wherever you are
A: Ok................. *beep beep beep beep* (sounds of me pretending to write down his number on my phone)
C: i'm juan by the way ;) what's your name?
A: santiago (I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU MY NAME YOU PEDOPHILE)
J(uan): you don't like talking, do you? you seem shy. are you shy or do you just not like talking?
S(antiago): ..............
J: would you like to sit on the front seat? so that we can talk better. i don't like talking when i'm in the back seat.
S: oh don't worry i LOVE backseats
J: (i was about to get home when the guy slowed down) would you like some candy??? ;) ;) ;)
S: no thanks i'm fine
J: well this is it, it's $17
S: great i thought i didn't have enough but i do!
J: well i would have dropped you at your place anyway ;)
S: ok BYE!!!!!!

and this is when he stopped at the corner of my street and i got out of that car as soon as possible and SHIVERING (i was seriously scared, i kept remembering how the guy drove me through all sorts of creepy places i'd never in my life seen, filled with abandoned train wagons and shit like that).
but here's not where the story ends. while i was frantically rummaging in my pocket for my keys, the creeper yelled something at me and REVERSED THE CAR BACK TO MY PLACE.

J: are you gay? ;)
S: (with my biggest BACK-THE-FUCK-OFF-BITCH face) NO. are YOU?
J: ME? no...
S:.................................
J:.................................
S: you need anything else?
J: no....
S: BYE!

and i ran to my house crying! NOT REALLY but i was really scared, they guy was such a weirdo and i really really feared the loss of MY ASS' INTEGRITY.
this story is just to show you this is a scary scary world, kids!

2010-01-09T15:03:00.003-03:00

call me a nerd, but give me my gwyneth paltrow movies, some grape jello and a copy of northanger abbey and i'm happy for the day!

BUMMER

2009-12-07T19:00:00.004-03:00

spent the day sunbathing and being happy about having passed my language final with flying colours! (i've always wanted to say that but it actually sounded very stupid)

exams left:

*Cambridge's Certificate in Advanced English on wednesday (SCARY SHIT, MUCH?)

*sociopolitics/psychology/teaching practice (16th/17th/18th)

*grammar & phonology in FEBRUARY (i'm not even thinking about you two, bitches!!)

so yeah my life's pretty much been as BORING as ALWAYS

on a different note,

HAS ANYONE NOTICED HOW EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE MASSIVELY BECOMING FAN OF EVERY GROUP ON FACEBOOK???????

(note the choice of shocking colours to show my shock/indignation)

2009-11-27T14:55:00.003-03:00

back to blogging?

i'm currently finishing my first year of uni and taking all the finalssssssssss

missed you, biotches!

2009-09-27T11:06:00.004-03:00

(HOLY COW, this is SHIT scary but it's a bit too late to back down now!)

so, this was definitely one the most stupid spring breaks of my life.. some friends from uni and i were requested to participate as assistants in this teaching conference which took place from thursday to saturday. however, it turned out to be completely different from what we expected..

instead of doing the whole accreditation thing on the first day and then taking care of workshops and dissertants, the stupid ladies from the organizing committee kept getting in the middle and telling us to get lost and we were FORCED TO WORK WITH THE PLANNING COMPANY CREW moving chairs and tables from a tent to a building the whole of the second morning. and the fatass planner totally threw all his shit at us! he was sooooo fucking rude and didn't EVER help anyone, he just kept talking on his cell phone. i mean, i know it was sort of out of the blue and that they did need our help, but it's not our fault if you are the one who decides to put up a tent in the HIGHEST and WINDIEST spot of the city without thinking of a plan b first!

all this, of course, without even offering us a drink or something to eat.

and that's basically why i never showed up on the last day. HA! i'll bitchslap those biotches from the organizing committee if i ever see them again!

sorry for all the badmouthing and blabblering :( but it really pissed me off

i DID buy a copy of the complete illustrate works of Oscar Wilde, an apple stamp which reads 'VERY GOOD' and stole an apple pencil. yayyy for stealing small goodies!

i'm so off to check your lovely blogs, guys

2009-09-20T19:44:00.003-03:00

had an awesome night last night!

spent it with friends eating pizza, having caipiroshkas at the pub, and later dancing our asses off at the clubbbbbbbbb (and coping with a couple who were dancing reggaeton/going at it right next to us).

viva spring break!

although i do have to go to class a couple of days this week. eek

how's your weekend so farrrrr, guys?

2009-09-13T10:10:00.003-03:00

OFF TO FINISH SOME NOTEBOOKS, TAKE A SHOWER, LUN CH WITH FRIENDS AAAAAAND...................

POSTPONE MY STUDYING!

EDIT: big thanks to jon at WANCHOR and dan at VANITY TEEN for featuring my work. :D

2009-09-08T11:31:00.004-03:00

i got home early from uni many hours ago, after finding out that a teacher had passed away earlier today. i did not know her but a friend of mine did, and she was so so sad and i felt extremely useless. i do hope she rests in peace.

this and the gloomy weather we've been having over the past few days got me thinking, and it's so awful that people just die.

psh, i'm such a genius, ain't i?

pray pray pray

2009-09-02T20:00:00.002-03:00

i'm listening to scarlett jonahsson and pete yorn's new cd right now..

is it amazing or what?!

2009-08-29T16:05:00.002-03:00

despite being winter down here, it's being strangely warm.. so i thought i'd post these babies from the summer! i miss that place terribly and can't wait to go back there next summer.

i'm extremely happy and proud to tell you all that the week has finally finished: i don't have any more midterms OR stupid papers (at least for next week) and i could stay in bed up to 1.30 PM!!!!!!!! (i had been sleeping 3/4 hs per day for the last two weeks)

i refuse to do any homework so i'm off to enjoy this beautiful dayyyyyy.

well i won't lie to you, i don't have any plans for tonight and i'm semi-home alone so today's sure going to suck. but at least i don't have any responsibilities YAY FOR HAVING NO RESPONSIBILITIES!

WHAT ARE YOURRRR PLANS FOR TONIGHT, GUYS?

ttyl haha

edit: HUUUUUUUUGE thanks to jon for asking me to contribute to the amazing wanchor magazine! go have a look and LIIIIINK, it seriously rocks.

2009-08-26T21:22:00.000-03:00

yayyyyyyy so much fun you sexy motha fucka nigga biotchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

i'm officially done with fucking midtermssssssssssss AND singing along to 'she's expensive' by the virgins at the top of my voiiiiiiiice until one my sisters OR my lovely parents take notice of it and politely ask me to shut the fuck up! :D :D :D :D

now i need to wait and see how i did, which was oooooooook i think but i don't want to think about it so bye bye midterm-related thoughts woo-hoo party time now (not really, trust me)

anyways i still have some stupid assignments to do (impossible not to have them) but i'm relatively free and it feels so so so weird but great all the same.. i have a SERIOUS amount of sleep to catch up with but it was totally worth it!

as always i'll ask YOU to share the interesting stories, guys! :P

take care and be happy

2009-08-23T12:19:00.005-03:00

customized notebook for a friend (:

i'm sorry for neglecting you, baby blogggggggg!!

(like any of you cared/felt sad by my absence haha)

got together with a gorgeous friend yesterday for a nerdy dialogue-practising afternoon filled with tea and wheat crackers. i love those stupid wheat crackers.

it's sunday and midterms -thank god- will be over by tuesday (not after slaughtering every bit of life i have left, OF COURSE!).

so i apologize once more for my lack of interesting news AND my usual nerdiness.

love you guyssssss, have a nice afternoon! :D

(shit, it's so warm and sunny and i'm doomed to stay here..)

2009-08-19T14:13:00.003-03:00

OFFICIALLY BACK TO THE BLOODY ROUTINE

i've been going to bed way too late at night and waking up way too early for my taste, studying my little ass off AND catching up with my beautiful classmates!

hope you are having a not-so-hectic week!

much love to you guys and thanks for sticking with me :D

2009-08-14T12:31:00.002-03:00

this is just a little post to thank ALL OF YOU for all the support you've been giving me and the beautiful comments you've left! you're the ones who make it worth to have this blog :)

i'd also like to thank june for being so sweet and asking me to do a mini Q/A, which you can find on her amazing blog over here!

things like these make me want to live in the fantastic world we know as blogosphere forever. but i won't do that for i'd probably end up in a movie called 'ari in creepyland' and also die of obesity shortly thereafter (sitting for way too long in front of the computer eating nothing but wheat crackers is said to be a bit unhealthy).

the end.

2009-08-11T22:47:00.004-03:00

i'm so tired and i think i don't care failing all my midterms next week.

well, i DO care but i just like acting like a cool cat.

god i hate that phrase so much. crackle crackle galactic static. am i supposed to sound like i'm on crack? i mean, is that really what my phonology teacher expects from me?

i stroked a puppy today and my computer is about to commit suicide.

i also have some questions:

1. what do you do when you can't fall out of love with this oh-so pretty girl?

2. why don't pretty girls know i exist?

3. can i come up with any more stupid questions?

2009-08-09T12:03:00.006-03:00

NO HOOKING UP FOR ME LAST NIGHT!

80% of my friends bailed out on me last minute and decided they were not going to the party we had been invited to. and i REALLY wanted to go but i reckoned it would be very sad being there alone with a bunch of people i didn't know. so i had no choice but to stay at home. :(

on another subject, i bought the perfect black military coat yesterday morning, and got my hair cut. a tad expensive but oh well, i can always go rob a bank!

how was your saturday night?

(i hope not as lousy as mine turned out to be!)

2009-08-05T12:25:00.003-03:00

BACK TO THE ROUTINE!

(sort of)

goooood, i'm having nightmares about all those hours of non-stop english conversations coming my way! (and they're scary)

anyway, i managed to get up at 7.30 am and studied teaching practice for quite a while with a couple of strawberry tea cups by my side. fortunately it wasn't as shitty as i thought it would be.

on a different note, my dad bought one of those giant printer/scanner/photocopier machines thingies, thus allowing me to bother you with all my collageness!!!!!!

goodbye for now! have an incredible wednesday (i've always loved spelling wednesday in my head)

2009-08-02T17:21:00.003-03:00

two haircuts ago a lot less sadness

2009-07-30T17:28:00.003-03:00

my knees are so cold right now.

this pictures are a year old, the first one i took it while walking home after having brunch with a friend i hadn't seen in months. the second one at the bus stop.

i miss taking the bus when it's almost empty. but my dad likes driving me everywhere, so..

i don't like it when it's too crowded. or when weird stuff happens!

i will never forget this one afternoon: it was around 3 pm, very cold but the sun shone strongly. i had left early from school and i loved it when it happened. i took the bus and suddenly glanced a girl walking on the street. this girl became one of my best friends some weeks after that. but the weirdest thing was this other girl who kept staring at me on the bus and jumped next to me a few minutes later. she was so so so weird, her eyes were beautiful and so was her face. but a complete creeper in the end. she kept asking me all this strange questions and i remember being totally scared. before getting off the bus, she kissed me goodbye on the cheek and i never saw her again.

i've always had the feeling that she was an ex-classmate's cousin. i still don't know WHY.

i'd love to hear some bus stories from you. (:

2009-07-26T16:50:00.002-03:00

things i learnt from last week:

1) if you are half-drunk watching horror movies with friends once again, the lights will eventually go off and you will be forced to stay in a corner looking all scared and stupid.

2) if at 4 am, after watching all those movies, you secretly text your sisters asking them to make some creepy/scary phone calls, it will somehow end in tears.

3) you shouldn’t waste too much time putting on your pyjamas, as you never know when it might start snowing.

4) it may snow even if it hasn’t happened in years/isn’t supposed to happen/it’s totally out of place.

5) no matter how hard it rains or snows, DO make plans with a friend to grab a cup of coffee in the afternoon. it may turn out to be the best day of the month.

6) procrastination is one of the best things ever.

7) eat as much chocolate as you want during holidays. you can always say you’re pregnant. or that it’s baby fat.

2009-07-17T17:52:00.004-03:00

spent the night watching european horror movies + forgetting sarah marshall (which had nothing to do with anything but we were too scared to keep watching more scary flicks) with friends yesterday

empanadas + coke + pop corn + tiramisu = happy ari and happy friends

AWESOME night, made me quite happy, though i'm starting to feel how the winter break is slowly fading away.

hope you're having yourn own marvellous nights, pretty fellows!

i'm off to the video store to buy some old videotaped movies and charge my cellllllllphone before it's too late

2009-06-18T19:52:00.003-03:00

so, besides being a shitty blogger a couple of things have happened.

1) it was my mom's and my birthday (on the same day, which is lovelier than anything ♥)

2) i sort of rediscovered my creativity.

3) i developed some new crushes. not one, not two, let's just say SOME. damn you, girls, and your prettiness!

4) i've already been through half my midterms. so far, quiiiiiiiite good.

i love you and missed you terribly, bloggers.

2009-06-01T17:17:00.002-03:00

first midterm tomorrow

phonology I

do i really really have to go?

2009-05-23T11:08:00.003-03:00

we are taking next week off at uni, before all those stupid midterms.
and i should be studying cause i had bad dreams which featured my mom telling me i should study.
but guess what?
i woke up and she told me i should take a break.

2009-05-10T20:54:00.001-03:00

and the clock still strikes midnight and noon
and the sun still rises and so does the moon

2009-04-29T15:11:00.001-03:00

pretty girls like you make my heart happy.

2009-04-24T18:42:00.003-03:00

this is my favourite llama sweater ever

'Further away from the main industrial areas, the north of England is sparsely populated. In the north-western corner of the country is the Lake District. The romantic poets of the 19th century, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey (the “Lake Poets”), lived here and wrote about its beauty. It is the favourite destination of people who enjoy walking holidays and the whole area is classified as a National Park (the largest in England).'

2009-04-18T16:26:00.000-03:00

i sleep with my phone, waiting for it to vibrate in the middle of the night and someone say something romantic

2009-04-15T14:02:00.000-03:00

(illustration: mine)

i think i loathe you, Phonology I.

2009-04-12T17:19:00.001-03:00

happy easter, boys and girls!

i don't really believe in God, Jesus, Jebus or anyone.

but i hope you had a lovely weekend full of chocolate and yummy food and NOT loads of reading -like mine-

2009-04-08T16:05:00.003-03:00

Early sleeting, freezing temperatures. Streets and sidewalks were both covered in mud, which made it almost impossible to walk without being strongly scared of slipping over. All those birds seemed to be black sharp leaves against the pale blue of the sky.

When I walked past that tree, they flew away in all directions, creating some sort of whimsical, unconnected cobweb which I will probably never forget.

2009-04-05T12:56:00.003-03:00

oh, the uni student life,

how busy and tiring it is..!

i've spent most of my weekend decorating my notebook's covers (which equals scissors, lots and lots of glue, billions of cut outs from 70s' magazines and ENDLESS afternoons), spending way too much money on ridiculously huge photocopy sets, drinking uncountable cups of fruity tea and coffee, reading The picture of Dorian Gray before going to bed at 2 am and fighting crime wearing my skintight red leather jumpsuit.

and i'm perfectly content with it.

2009-04-02T20:57:00.002-03:00

oh, you tacky yet beautifully amusing 90s..

how much i love love love this show

2009-03-31T23:42:00.001-03:00

a tad sad..

2009-03-28T18:09:00.006-03:00

taking the bus to class yesterday was probably the worst decision ever made in the world history of decision-making.

getting to class COMPLETELY SOAKING WET was the lamest thing after that.

Dear rain: you have such bad timing. i hated you for a while. :(

(I thought it'd be nice to shock/blind you with huge words and flashy colours and of course a lot of stupid and pointless randomness)

(Some pictures from my weird and oh-so tiring cart-sort-of-thingy ride with caro)

2009-03-24T19:42:00.002-03:00

say hi to Teo

my beautiful cocker spaniel

uni has started and i must say i almost fell asleep on the first day.

i've been watching lots of pretty movies and it makes my heart so very happy.

i baked heart-shaped chocolate cookies this afternoon and i wish i could share them with all of you.

2009-03-21T13:36:00.006-03:00

i think i may have had a little bit too much beer last night!

SHAME ON MEEEEE..

but hey, your bday celebrations are FINALLY OVER!

i went THRICE to your house this week, and things had just started to look like one of those weird gipsy parties that never ever end. your mum must probably hate me after seeing so much of me :P

it was awesome, though, and i must say i quite love hanging out with you (:

i hope i get to go out again tonight, but with the SAYCE KIDS this timeeeeeeeeee

uni starts on monday and i suddenly feel like i should take the most advantage i can of these couple of obligation-free days i have left!

what will you guys do for the weekend? any wicked cool plans? (:

i leave you with some pictures of pupé (misspelling of poupeé), juli's stupid and pedantic pet!

she looks like she was on heroin

2009-03-17T14:13:00.003-03:00

happy bday, juli ♥

i loved going thrifting with you (even though we didn't get our hands on anything interesting) and having dinner with you yesterday!

we also found out my entrance exam grade, and i got an 87 (KUDOS TO ME, PLEASE)

anyway anyway anyway

i have to go catch the bus to go to your place and sing 'happy bday' to you once again, but i seriously hope your house is not too crowded or i will LEAVE (:

and i truly hope you beautiful bloggers have an AMAZING tuesday!

poncho love

(I'M SO BORED)

due to film expiration, the colours on this photos turned out rather weird.

and i usually can't cope with weird.

BUUUT as i'm in love with last winter, my winter holidays and all the photos i took back then, i guess i'll let you guys have a look at them (cause, of course, you were asking for it)!

2009-03-08T21:14:00.002-02:00

just pretty pictures from my pretty holidays..

2009-03-05T14:38:00.003-02:00

February, 12th

I once saw the virgin mary
she was radiant, in all her glory
and her perfume smelled like roses.
But I think it was just a dream
and this isn't making any sense at all.

So now I pray to her. And I pray to God, too.
My knees bleed from kneeling and praying to them that you love me back.

2009-03-02T21:13:00.006-02:00

it's been raining on and off the whole day

and it's colder than ever this summer, which feels really weird

i love being in my pijamas+a chunky cardigan

love love rainy humid cold love

2009-02-27T23:47:00.004-02:00

i still am amazed by how much better things have gotten in a matter of dayssss!

i'm happy to say that i've made some lovely acquaintances in class so everything's going good.

we've realised, however, that there seems to be some sort of psycho ladies invasion (including a couple of classmates and the teacher with the parrot-like voice).

i'm having ice-cream and i feel like going on a cheap shopping spree and getting a haircutttttt

2009-02-24T22:39:00.003-02:00

i'm back to the blogging world after many many busy days!

i finally started university's entrance course, and it majorly sucks. yesterday was the first day of it and it turned out to be way too long/boring/stupid.

and, oh, did i mention that i don't know anyone in my class? HAHA, hilarious, right?

the course is not compulsory, (the exam is) so it's not like i have to attend even if i don't want to. but i feel like i should give it a try/see if i make any friends (did that sound lame? ok, thanks for telling me!).

so my life is pretty much awful right now.

i hope you guys are doing greaaattttttttt. ♥

2009-02-21T15:36:00.006-02:00

oh, sunny sunshine

please stop hiding

cause i want to get a tan.

i've got a bday party tonight

and i feel like looking rad

☼

2009-02-18T19:28:00.004-02:00

that was certainly an adventurous trip to punta alta!

filled with lovely new chucks, amazinggg jukeboxes, scary dinner-ladies and even scarier dishes, horrorific bathrooms and a really long/droggy/groggy/weird bus trip back home.

my god, can you remember HOW MUCH we laughedddddddddd?

just thinking of that makes me really really happy!

i long for picnics with friends before summer ends

2009-02-16T00:19:00.003-02:00

the most important thing you should know about me is.........

ONLY PSYCHO GIRLS FALL IN LOVE WITH ME.

yeap, that's right.

i haven't figured out why just yet, but i still do have hopes that things change!

2009-02-12T16:00:00.006-02:00

i wonder why

exciting things

never

happen to me.

2009-02-09T16:15:00.016-02:00

first of all, i'd like to tell you all about my AWESOME MORNING:
i met with the beautiful mili, whom i hadn't seen in almost a year and with whom i did a bunch of rather cool stuff. the list includes:

*doing uni procedures;
*having breakfast and stealing the cafe's magazines;
*stealing a purse from a shiny store;
*going to LA CHINITA (a.k.a. a store owned by a lovely taiwanese lady who knows so many interesting things about life and whatnot and sells an incredible amount of adorable and unnecessary stuff);
*wandering through mysterious passageways;
*chatting much while drinking coke zero;
*hugging and being happy.

i think i now am somehow fond of outdoor activities.
WEIRD.

SO, in other news, i was tagged for the very first time by hot stuff frances! but i don’t think i’m clever enough to complete one of these…

Describe your personal style.
i have to agree with frances: quite simple. i can’t bare feeling like i’m overdoing things too much so i always try to keep it effortless. i really don’t see people dressed like me and i am proud of that. despite having to put up with people’s stares sometimes, feeling good with my clothes choice and myself is definitely a rewarding thing.

What are the staples in your wardrobe?
way too many plain tees. i can’t help to think they are awesome! and red chucks, too.

What's your signature look?
loose-fitting tops and narrow bottoms right now.
chunky knitwear for winter and rolled-up sleeves for summer.
denim jeans all year around.

What inspires you?
watercolor paintings, whimsical music, sofia coppola’s films, vintage books in english, love letters, the sky, the trees, the mountains, sketchbooks, pretty wallpapers.

Who is your fashion muse?
my mom. HAHA, sooooo lame. i was lying. D:

Favourite purchase of all time.
my oversized honeycomb knitted indigo vest. <3

Biggest splurge?
my new jeans. i feel so guilty. ):

What’s your beauty routine?
Cucumber slices on my eyes and milk baths.

What jewellery do you never take off?
are my carey sunglasses jewellery? no? well..

What are you wishing for?
i wish i was in love.
i wish i knew where to take french lessons.
i wish i had money so that i could travel.
i wish i could live as a writer and work from home. home would be a lonely house at the bottom of stunning mountains.

What are your obsessions?
finding unusual and pretty words in the dictionary.
letting my loved ones know how much they mean to me.

2009-02-08T15:16:00.004-02:00

friday: dinner with ex-classmates from school. yummy pizzas and lots of yelling and laughing. and cold walks. (:

saturday: Pam's farewell night with THE Sayce kids, before her trip to EUROPE! we headed to frog's and became very good friends with mr hot frog's, mr hawaiian tropic, miss straweberry daikiri, miss caipirinha and THE LOVELY BETSY.

YOU GUYS ROOOOCK. <3

and there was also a huge storm with loads of rain and lightnings.

i've become such a party boy i don't even recognize myself.

2009-02-05T22:07:00.004-02:00

the sun's been hidden for a couple of days and the smell of rain is all over the place now.

it's a fact: every time the scent of rain fills my lungs with its glorious nostalgia, it will always make me think of you.
i think i need to meet a new girl and like, forget about you. but i haven't met anyone as pretty/interesting/loveable as you in a very long time.
it's been so much time since you last kissed me that i can't even remember it.
yeah, i think i need to meet a new girl.
and then i'd have to forget about the rain, too. we (her and i) would have to have a different special thing than rain. something such as vintage bookshops or a romantic bossa nova cover song.
but i know, very deep down in my heart that nothing will ever feel as right as smelling the perfume of that rain-soaked concrete street with you in the cold transition from july to august.

2009-02-02T20:15:00.006-02:00

the night our love died,

you said i was dead to you.

well, flowers die everyday babe

(not that you care)

having banana smoothies with my sister after having not seen her for four days was probably the best part of the day.

i should probably erase my trip downtown this morning! i HAAAAATE queues and midday heat AND that stupid guy who works at the newspaper.

sorry, i was just being a hideous boy.

but i'm done now.

2009-01-31T22:30:00.005-02:00

ice creams are just an excuse to see your lovely face

(i miss you like crazy, babe)

long bus trips, beer, balloons, branches, birthday napkins, long-haired dogs, acid washed jeans, wind, beautiful friends

i had so much fun today

i'm so thankful for this happiness

2009-01-28T15:05:00.002-02:00

well i know i SHOULDN'T, because that's why i got this stupid skin rash. :(
so i'm doing a mixtape cd for my friend stef whose bday party is tonight but GOD it's taking me so long!
once again it's really really hot and i don't feel like going out or doing anything, just for a change..

2009-01-25T20:25:00.008-02:00

January, 12th

I was so hurt by your selfish reaction that it made me understand that I needed to fall out of love with you. Don't get me wrong, you are as beautiful as all those stars up there in the sky, honey, but who knew that your cosmos could be so toxic?
I think guys from the Earth planet like me shouldn’t be allowed to play with poisonous outer-space beauties like you.

2009-01-24T16:29:00.006-02:00

i love my backyard

it's SO hot that i'm probably going to:

a) melt

b) faint

c) die

d) all of the above.

p.s.: we ended up having daikiris instead of ice creams the other night [: yummy yummy

2009-01-22T17:25:00.003-02:00

rocker t-shirts

and ice-creams

tonightttttttttttttttttt

2009-01-19T20:04:00.006-02:00

remember i mentioned going to the mall on my last post?

well, as you probably do not know, the mall is next to wal-mart. so i took the opportunity to go to wal-mart's photo lab and finally develop the five rolls of film that had been waiting for that special and magical moment since, well, June. i asked the lady to put the images on a cd, too. all i had to do then was wait.

(insert the lamest two-hour lapse of the world HERE)

i had the photos in my hands and they were HEAVENLY. i just had to get back home and flicker through my lovely 111 digital photos.

(insert funniest four-hour space of time until i got home HERE)

first album: some random walk with my sister and shots of my house.

second album: my winter holidays.

third album: weird/amish/german-looking family's holidays' photos.

fourth alb... wait. WHAT? i mean.. WHAAAAT?

well, YES, the stupid lady from the photo lab had gotten things mixed up and i ended up with a bunch of pictures of old guys in the sea and a group of nerdy, old-looking young adults horseback riding because of her fault.

the worst of all was putting on my complaining pants (pants which give me an angry, pissed look and scare people so that i can be taken seriously) today, after oversleeping for about two hours, making me VERY LATE FOR MY TIGHTLY SCHEDULED COMPLAINING DAY.

i had to go up to wal-mart (thirty-minute bus ride), then wait for the pictures to be put on another cd (one hour waiting) just so that the lady told me the machines 'were broken' and that i 'should wait another half hour or so'. that was the fugliest morning ever. and i mean it because i used the word fugliest.

by the time i was ready to head home a very much chubby and beautiful baby smiled at me, changing my morning upside down.

and then was the bus for home, and being sunkissed, with my hair blowing in every direction possible and wishing for that moment to never end..

2009-01-18T01:17:00.007-02:00

so my sister and i went to work at the mall today, and we got to:

rode a couple of buses packed with a billion laughs
ate lots of unhealthy food
played cards
found a not so cheap way to heal my toothache
and hugged each other a lot

so that's like one, two, three, four, five, FIVE amazing things i did with her.

oh my, how much i love this girl

2009-01-15T15:27:00.003-02:00

i long for more alfresco dinners with lots of friends and extra food like yesterday's.

i never knew i could be this happy in summer.

2009-01-11T21:17:00.003-02:00

i never knew my house could look this beautiful. torn flowery wallpapers, paintings portraying a parisian life style i'll never lead and water puddles make me feel like directing love movies someday.

2009-01-10T16:59:00.001-02:00

oh deer, OH DEER!

why do i feel

like i'm still in love

with you?

i'm sure that the way you used to smile

is the thing that i can't forget

2009-01-07T14:59:00.000-02:00

love is like a plant

it should be watered, otherwise,

it dies.

2009-01-05T15:11:00.006-02:00

i tried to be chill

but you are SO hot

that i melted

love letters

2009-01-03T20:36:00.001-02:00

that's it. i've made a decision.

i'm writing a book. like, tomorrow or the day after that.

2008-12-23T15:24:00.000-02:00

if i were a little starfish i would write down in the sea bottom how much i love you.
i would scream it to the top of my non-existent tiny lungs and put each word inside a bubble.
