The more I try. . .

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Every Christmas, and a few times along the year, I donate to an institution that helps little kids that are away from home for this or that reason.

  Well, this year I found too late another project that I think that deserves my help: Christmas Little Angels. It's a project that tries to collect gifts (one toy and a piece of clothes) to each kid. The amazing thing is that we donate to the parents so that they can have something to offer as a Christmas present to their sons.

  This year I came too late but I'll try not to forget next year...

Funny things

   Annyeonaseyo!

  It's funny when you decide to do something and someone (that could have done it) tells you that you took too long to do it...

  It's funny how people that are never on time, that are always absent, that don't do their things look at you and imagine those faults in you...

The Twilight Saga

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I know that is common but I liked the Twilight Saga.

  I'm talking about the books, that I read before the movies appeared.

  And, of course, I've seen the first three movies (not the first part of the last one because I wanted to see both at the same time). Although I am disappointed with the choice of the actors (except for Bella and Jacob) I liked the movies... they are good entertainment.

Supernatural

 
   Annyeonaseyo!

  I like TV shows with dark stories and fantasy...

  There's a TV show that I really like and because I usually don't watch TV, I need to wait for the seasons on DVD - Supernatural

 

Jensen Ackles - one of the stars of the show playing between the shooting

Gifts

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Unfortunatly, I don't have a gift... 

  I don't sing, I don't paint, I don't have a good hand of doing pretty things...

  So, to everyone that have it, congrats and treasure it well.

Crazyness

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I've already said that my country is in big troubles economically... 

  Well, Christmas is around the country and people are spending crazyly... They say that they don't have money for the basics but then spend a lot in useless things...

  The important is being together and healthy but... I don't think most of them get it...

  Miss Di was born yesterday somewhere around 14h30 and it's a healthy pretty baby!!!

Congrats sister and S.

  Now, I want December 23rd to come quick (even more than before)... 

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Past

   Annyeonaseyo!

  When I think about the past, I usually think about the things that I now feel I should have done differently.

  Why is it that the bad  actions, bad reactions and bad events are the first thing that come to our minds?

  It's already done, so why regret it?

Jamie Oliver

   Annyeonaseyo!

  There are some TV shows about food that I like to watch. Some just because it's fun, some because maybe I can learn something and others just because everything is good in that TV show.

  Jamie Oliver's TV shows (pick one...) are all amazing. He likes to cook, to explain, to teach, to taste and to share his cooking and knowledge... it's not just cooking... is a lesson, everytime.

Raclette and fondue

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I like to eat (specially sweets) and I enjoy cooking (even if I'm lazy and I'm not the best cook).

  There are some "dishes" where everyone cooks and where the time spent on the table is really for interaction - I'm talking about fondue and raclette.

  Fondue has so many choices: meat pieces, cheese, fish, meatballs, chocolate... and there's a japanese version that has it all (except choco). I love it!

  And then there's raclette that is cheese with whatever... Nham, nham!!!

Little things?

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I never cared about the importance of being born in a European country.

  Well, It's not that I didn't cared... it's just that I never thought too much about the privileges of being European.

  For example (and this is one of many) - because I love to travel, is always nice to be able to travel around lots of places that are more or less near but independent countries with their own traditions and habits. But I never thought how lucky I am to be able to move between European countries with just my identity card.

  I've travelled a bit (I´ve been in six different countries) and I don't have a passport and I never needed it.

Bathrobe

   Annyeonaseyo!

  The weather is cold now and going to the pool became more difficult because when it's time to leave the pool, it's really hard for me because I'm too cold.

  I've seen the old ladies going there in a bathrobe and I went to look for one because it's an awesome idea.

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Wall

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Some posts ago (a few, actually), I've said that I was allowed to paint some colours in a wall of a completely white room - I've done it!

  Well, I still want to add a part of a stripe but the most of it it's done.

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Ok?

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I've been so tired lately that I'm not online a lot.

  Most of my free time, I've been in bed reading because my body needs it.

   Annyeonaseyo!

  My long waited weekend off is here... finally!!!

  I'll be out and all the things that are complicated at home will be staying here... waiting for monday....

November

   Annyeonaseyo!

  We are almost in 2013 and this year is passing really fast...

  Looking back, my life, apparently, hasn't changed a bit but I'm different (well, even more...)

  Now, I just need courage to step up and go for what I want...

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Those times

   Annyeonaseyo!

  There are times when we feel like we are not going anywhere... 

  We need to act but we don't know how or we don't have the courage to do so...

  Well, I'm in one of those times...

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Strange post...

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I don't like politics or economy those are things that are part of our lives... so I want to leave a note... or two...

  The government of my country is "selling" everything that is national properties to their family and friends (whatever that they can't keep for themselves, of course). 

  They are doing things in a way that common people can't do a thing because there's no money, no jobs, no hope...

  They want (and are trying) to make all the people that have knowledge and capacities to leave the country so that whatever they do doesn't have opposition...

  I wish someone good from the inside could take the hand on the government and stop all the thieves and finish all the "jobs for the boys".

  I am a dummy dreamer...

Escape..

   Annyeonaseyo!

  When you think that everyone is wrong and things can't be worse... sit, and with a cup of tea near you, read a book. It doesn't make your problems disappear but they go away for a while.

Interactions

   Annyeonaseyo!

  It's true that we interact with other in the way they treat us... sometimes we can even mistreat other in a "polite" way because we can't openly answer the way the other part is acting but, once in a while, we meet other people that are just... nice. And our mood rises when that happens... automatically.

 "Do poepket ssumnida"

Old people and their stuff

   Annyeonaseyo!

  My grandma's house had a fire. She's ok but the house is all black because of the smoke and my grandma's lost some of her stuff.

  It's not for the value of the objects but she seems really sad and I think that the true fact for that is that the objects are really important...as part of the family... as part of her life...

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Fitting

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Sometimes I think that I'm probably someone that really tries to fit somewhere because I need to but I don't wish to...

  Society kills my mood almost everyday... 

"Do poepket ssumnida"

No internet connection...

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I've been without internet connection for a week and then I've been busy and lazy...

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Social networks

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Although I have a facebook account and I go there everyday, for me, that is a place to go play some games and just chill.

  I see what's posted but I don't check profiles or look for people...

  I was never a fan of the social networks to find people. Also I find that those places are just to expose yourself for others.

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Yesterday

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Yesterday was a nice day even if it rained.

  I don't know how to explain but everytime I have plans to go somewhere it's raining.

  I went to place that was special in my youth and where I have lots of memories.

  I felt good!!! 

"Do poepket ssumnida"

There are days

   Annyeonaseyo!

  There are days when we shouldn't leave the house and for me today was one of those days.

  I should have been alone and away from all kinds of connections...

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Eyes

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I need to go check my eyes.

  It's been three years since I got the glasses I'm wearing and I think that my eyes need a new evaluation.

  It's necessary but expensive... but maybe my headaches come from this...

"Do poepket ssumnida" 

Change of mind

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Like lots of other people, I make plans for the future, some are really predictable, others are just things that I would love to do or to achieve.

  Some of those plans are "set on stone" for some years now but I'm starting to think that I can do differently. 

  And there are times when I wish I would just do it and don't give a damn... but then I start thinking...

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Back to work

   Annyeonaseyo!

  So, yesterday I got back to work and it's funny how people miss us (or not).

  Some people said that I was gone for a month; others just noticed that I was back and some didn't care... : P

  In the morning I went to the pool because my neck isn't OK and I just want to keep going the best that I can (I feel like I need to go back to physiotherapy).

"Do poepket ssumnida"

The bad things

   Annyeonaseyo!

  The bad things (bad thoughts, misunderstandings and other bad stuff) are always in the mind of the people that see it as bad things... and sometimes it's nothing...

"Do poepket ssumnida"

What I want to read...

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Last autumn, I found a big book in the bookstore and grab it.

  It was Deborah Harkness's A discovery of witches, an amazing book that tells the story of Diana, a witch that doesn't want to be a witch but that has great power, a long line of gifted family and some special gifts on her own. 

  Diana, a scholar, opens a bewitched manuscript and soon witches, daemons and vampires want to know how she got the hands on it since it was missing for a long time and more important want that manuscript in their hands.

  Matthew, a geneticist and a vampire, comes closer to Diana trying to understand the manuscript and why was Diana able to find it and open it but soon their relationship develops and the peace between the creatures... 

  Now, I'm anxiously waiting for the second volume of this trilogy. 

"Do poepket ssumnida"

 

Opinion

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I'm one of those persons that have an opinion about everything...

  Thankfully, nowadays, I'm more careful and I don't share those opinions all the time but they are there...

About my week in London

   Annyeonaseyo!

  So, I had fun and really enjoyed going back to London.
  This was a different from the first time and made wish to go there again. 
  
  But because it was my trip - it rained a lot; my camera didn't worked at all (so I don't have photos) and I had my disaster moments... 

(taken from the web)

Many time before...

   Annyeonaseyo!

  I've said many time before that I need to organise myself: my room, my money, my cooking... but that's not an easy job and I'm a lazy person.

  But I need to set goals and justify the reasons why I need to do this:

• I want to go on vacations and the money is less and less each day;
• I need to look for a healthier life - my neck condition and the anemia need more care from me;
• I need to know what I have and where. 

 "Do poepket ssumnida"

The pool

   Annyeonaseyo!

  The pool is a good thing for my neck pain and I feel that I should go there everyday just to keep going but that is not possible... :(

  In an amazing world I wish I could have something like this, it would help me a lot:

I think I'm back... maybe...

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Hummm...

  Lots of things happened since my last post.

  I was in pain again because of my neck condition and even stayed at home for some days; I went to London and enjoyed my sister pregnancy and my boyfriends company; and now I'm back home but I'm having some strong headaches that are not normal for me...

"Do poepket ssumnida"

 

There's a saying...

   Annyeonaseyo!

  There's a saying that tell us to be good and happy for doing a favour to others and just forget it, but to never forget the favours others do to us.

  OK, I do favours because I want to but sometimes I really wish to have the courage to remind others about it... because we all like to be helped once in a while, no?

"Do poepket ssumnida"

Soon

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Soon I'll be in vacations.

  London is waiting for me and my sister too.

Can we...

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Can we change the idea of what we really want to do in life?

  And what's the explanation for that? Age? Experiences?

  I want to do something that I never thought I would (and that is enough to scare me at this point...)

"Do poepket ssumnida"

When I...

   Annyeonaseyo!

  When I'm really angry or sad, I take time to read or to watch a movie.

  Not any movie... just one of two in particular.

  I watch either "Flashdance" or "Howl's Moving Castle".

  I need to look for a cheaper car insurance...

Likes

   Annyeonaseyo!

  It's not new to anyone that I like decorations and renovations.

  Of course my taste goes for strong colours and I like really simple lines (they are easy to clean and nice to look at).

  I have the chance to paint a wall in a living room where the sofa is blue (greish dark blue) and the furniture is white.

  I don't know what I want to do but the colours should be around blue, silver or brown...

  I'll I make some vertical stripes?

  About the future moms I've talked before, one is almost due and I truly hope that M´s birth will be painless, quick and that M comes out healthy and perfect.

  My sis is big but she still have some more time to enjoy all the kicks and to feel tired and hot all the time...

  I am truly sorry!!!

  My time is not enough to sleep, work, date, go out, read, exercise and be online (or I just don't know how to work everything out).

  I'll do my best to post more than last month.

"Do poepket ssumnida"

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Sometimes I get mad because of someone and I go off on other person that has nothing to do with the reason why I am angry...

  And I can't stop myself from doing it...

Losing trust

   Annyeonaseyo!

  Once I lose trust on someone, there's no way of getting it back.

  I can put things away but I don't forget and I don't go back...

How long?

   Annyeonaseyo!

  You know those times when something is bothering you or worrying you and it's about another person and you grab your phone and text some questions to clear things out but there's no answer?

  How long can you wait?

  Do you call?

  Do you send another message?

  Do you pretend that you don't give a damn about the answer and blame the phone for not ringing?

  Do you make lots of suppositions about the reason why isn't there an answer?

  Do you get mad?

  Well, I get mad and I make lots of suppositions and them I get even madder. And when I get the chance, I say things I don't really feel and make things worse.
