What's eating you when you are out and about

Hi there Monday!

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. I didn't get done half of what I wanted but there was party, good company and lots, lots of salsa dancing so no complains!

Now, let's have a look at what eats me up when I'm out and about.

- One thing that drives me nuts lately is dealing with people that work in administration/bureaucracy. I'm so sorry because I'm sure not everyone is like that but for the most part I've never seen people as disrespectful as the ones that work in Swiss administration. They literally do not give a shit about you or your situation and keep sending you from door to door, making the problem grow and not helping you.

- When you have somewhere to go and you are tight on time and the public transportation normally fast and in time, gets stuck in every red light and seems to drive slower than usual. 

- Missing for five minutes your bank office open, your favourite restaurant or a movie.

- Forgetting things in public places.

- Having experience working in customer service I firmly believe that some customers out there really need some re-education. I don't stand disrespectful customers. 

- Realizing I have no cash and I forgot all my cards at home. When you forget the keys is even worse.

- Annoying kids that don't know how to behave in public places. Mostly because I think it is the parents responsability to teach their kids how to behave. Also, if you want to let your kid go nuts at home that's cool with me but I can't understand why some kids go crazy no matter where they are and parents don't know how to control them.

- Stores closing at 7pm at the latest and no opening at all on sundays.

And I think that's it for today!!

What are your plans for this week?

What's eating you know? Link- up

Since yesterday I feel like the Grinch.

Great that it isn't Christmas because I would totally go and crash the spirit.

So this link up comes in handy!

Today's Topic: Social Media and Blogging

Here is my list :

About social media in general- a) There might be a bit too much of social networks out there. b) Sometimes I don't feel comfortable about everything being connected and taking lots of time to change all your privacy settings. More to that, most of the time your social sites have to be connected. It isn't even that everyone can know what you are doing, it is also the fact that the WRONG people might be seeing all you do.

Pinterest- I agree with Paige in this one. It drives me nuts when you see a pin you like, you click on it and you go to a site with no description whatsoever. It's like: "yeah, nice...very useful!"

What about pins that lead you to pages where you need to sing up to see the content?

Grrrrrrrrrr

Google/Gmail- The king of getting you connected. Sometimes comes in handy to have just one email and not a 10 different ones. But why do you have to connect everything and once everything is connected is very difficult/hardly impossible to associated to another email account?

I created this blog out of impulse. So obviously I didn't even think that I should have created a separate account for blogging. MY fault. I didn't even think that I would received so much "blog stuff" to the point of messing around too much my principal email inbox (the one I use for work and such). The new blogger profile doesn't help a lot. It connects you to G+ and there is no way you can change your settings. At least the only way around it that I found is to go back to the old blogger profile. Well finally I manage to do it and I have a new email associated with my blog but guess what? all my blog reading list got lost and now I have to go over each blog (the ones I remember) and follow them again. SO if yesterday you had at least one new follower, it was me (and you have me double!). If not leave your blog down below so I make sure I follow you.

I didn't have that much luck with youtube. 

Twitter- some people tweet way too much...and it'd be great to have a bit more of extra space =)

Blogger/No reply bloggers- I don't know how many times I've fixed this problem and every now and then someone tells me that I am a "no reply blogger". Like...what?! It drives me crazy because again the only way to change those settings is going back to the old profile. And also, I put lots of love and thought in my comments and from what I know most people don't ever answer me. Not that I blame anyone. But it feels a bit "empty", like talking to a wall.

IT'D BE GREAT TO RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION WHEN SOMEONE ANSWERS YOU

I don't have much love for wordpress. I don't know it so it might be it. But maybe blogger could add more cool things =)

Oh, and apparently my blog has problems of coding or I don't know what...

Blog slow motion: I guess I'm for the most part responsible for this but sometimes it upsets me a little bit to see how slow things grow in my blog. But it is ok =)

Passionfruit Adds- Am I the only person whose transactions never go through when paying adds with paypal? INSANE

And that's it for today.

 It's freezing out but the sun has decided to pay us a visit so I should probably being smiling a little bit more.

LOVE!

Me, Myself & I Link up party!

I found this link up today and thought it was really fun so here we go!



Questions:
1. When you are feeling down, what do you do to pick yourself up? In no specific order: eat, sleep, hug my boyfriend, high volume music, crying...yes,     crying!because sometimes you just need to let yourself go a bit to come up stronger!!
2. If you had to live in a different time period which would you prefer? When I was little I really wanted to be a princess so I'd say some time in the spledoreus years of the French or English Empire (despite hygene)...but at the same time I love today's technology, so I don't know!
3.What's the most creative halloween costume you've ever worn? I don't remember a halloween costume, but I have this one from last Carnaval =) (My mom made it. I'm a middle age princess, tho people say it looks like a wedding dress!)

4. Five weird things about you we wouldn't know without being told? - I'm really bad at video games - I'm a complete american TV shows sucker. - I like to mix french fries and sunday (The mix of hot/cold and Sweet/Salty it is really interesting). - I remeber certain conversations so well that even after some time I could still tell you what exactly you said and what you were wearing so...watch out! =P - In other life I probably was a shopaholic. In this life I struggle with the ups and downs of rehab.
5. What would you tell your 16-year-old self? - To take way more care about our skin. At 24 I'll really appreciate it. - To worry less about what people at school think or say about me. - You are actually good at learning foreign lenguages. - To fall less in love of our b/f at the time. At 23 you'll find a really, really good one =) - To look less into the past and enjoy more the present. - Not to want to grow so fast, be crazy and enjoy more being teen. - It is good to try to be so strong but you have to learn how to deal with pain and to let yourself grieve. It is OK not to be ok. - Our mother is so particular and we have such a define character that we will always collide. But don't worry, do your thing because it eventually gets better =)
So yeah!Hope you like it! Go and link up!

My first Social Sunday link up!

Hello, Hello!!

We came back from Prague a few hours ago. I'm in bed with the computer, our windows are open and it's warm a sunny in Geneva (Surprisingly!), the sun warms up our kitchen while Deni makes Pasta bolognese...

I really liked Prague and the vacations but I was starting to miss our "little home". I haven't had really the chance to enjoy our new place since we moved in with all this travelling.

I <3 it!

1. 5 items you can't live without on a daily basis (water, food, shelter and clothes don't count)
My phone, my Naked Style Miracle worker leave-in conditioner (review), a hair elastic, chapstick/gloss and my debit card.

2. All time favourite book? why?
Probably my all time favourite series it is the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon. I wash introduced to them by a sweet friend of mine, Erica, back when I did my junior year of high school in Canada. They have everything you could ask for history, romance, relationships, honor, time travel, magic, medicine, sex, passion, hope, despair, betrayal...I highly, highly recommend this series!

3. Something you'd like to accomplish before the end 2012

I've said this before...ending my master's thesis. It is all I ask for.

4. If you could go back and relive any year of your live which year would it be?

Honestly...this one. The one I'm living right now =).

5. What do you wish people knew about you without you having to tell them?

That if I love them and they disappoint me, I'll feel heartbroken. And that I want to get crazy and have fun more than the daily obligations allow me.

Next Weeks Questions:

1. What is something you have wanted to do but are afraid of?

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

3. What are you looking forward to before the end of 2012?

4. What are your hopes for your blog?

5. Do you always see yourself living in your current town/city?

6. What is your morning routine

Bea!
