Random facts about me

There are a few weird things I do when Deni is not in Geneva. I don't know why but I seem to procrastinate more than usual. And some times I would lose track of time...

But that might still happen when he is around, so I'm not sure if there is a direct relation.

Yet, there are two remarkable changes in my sleeping behaviour when he is out of town:

1) I would watch any show or movie until I'm almost falling sleep, no matter how tired I am or how late it is.

2) Once I'm exhausted and I'm ready to turn on the computer,I'll place it in Deni's side of the bed...

I don't know if my brain is trying to fill in the empty space or I am just lazy...anyhow it seems as if Deni's absence translates in some sleeping disorder for me.

The good news? He is going away the 1st of January 2013 for two months and a half to do an intership...

sleeping disorder eh?

Challenge accepted !! =P

Sometimes I miss my straight hair...

A month and a half or maybe two months agor I straighted my hair for the first time since last winter.

I actually miss it.

I know it isn't that big of a deal, but you know...a girl's thing LOL

I love how shiny and soft it feels...

So easy to comb through.

But it takes too much time.

To Style it.

To take care of it.

To keep the style.

Any advices from someone in the same situation?

Chocolate Fondant Banana Cake--quick and easy

I'm so into cooking lately. It might be the cold already installed in Geneva...and the fact that we actually have an amazing avon in our little studio.

I have never baked before so I can't say I'm great at it but I guess I'm not bad either! I was craving cake all weekend, so yesterday I woke up early and I did this amazing cake before going to work. I post the recipe on Pinterest which I modify from 2 I found on the internet. I think the quantities are quite ok if you are worried about the extra calories.

Let me know if you try it!or if you have any great cakes I should try!

Ich liebe...Oktober!!

I can´t believe we are already half way through October!! Time is going way too fast!!

I've been working a lot. Like ALWAYS.

And I've been exhausted. Like ALWAYS too.

But I'm actually liking October a lot.

For many things.

One. I've started my German course and so far so good...I'm quite excited!

Two. I'm loving deeper colors on my lips, specially berry colors...

Three. Octobre c'est le mois de l'amour pour nous. Our story didn't have an easy start (mostly because of me. Bad timming I would say) and one year ago, in October the Miracle happened <3

(When I smile too much I look like an old wrinkly lady)

Bonne semaine à toutes et à tous!

Do spiders "feel" fear?

I just killed a little spider. YES, I'm a spider killer.

Being biologist, I should respect and adore all God's creatures and the metaphors that they inspire (Can you guess where these words came from? =P) but spiders fall into a completely different category for me.

It isn´t even that a fear them, because I feel more disgust than fear. My heartbeat rises and even if I don't want to look at them and let them be, I can't stop looking right at and thinking about them. I won't be able to sleep, eat, shower or anything knowing that there is a spider in the same room as me. 

If on top of that the spider starts moving...I'd tart freaking out inside and in the extreme I could even end up vomiting (for the record, I've never got to that point but I do feel like vomiting).

So imagine that I'm home alone all happy and relaxed in bed with my computer and I raise my head a moment to see a little spider suspended from the roof at the level of my eyes in the middle of the bed. Deni is not around to kill the spider so I try to be brave and kill it myself with some kitchen paper. It is the spider or my peace of mind. I start approaching- not too much tho- and stare at the spider for a few minutes with my heart pounding. When I finally get the courage to raise my hands and squeeze it between the kitchen paper what happens? The spider freaks out and starts going back to the roof as fast as she can. At this point, my heart is at the pitch of my stomach. I need to kill it! Even if it's tiny because now that I realize, the spider was at that same spot yesterday too! So I grab a flip-flop and...R.I.P. 

Deni always tells me that one day I'd have to answer on the other side for all these unnecessary deaths. But I tell him that there are more of their type in the world than human beings. Not that this fact gives me the right to kill them but...

It isn´t the first time I try to kill a spider and all of the sudden it starts running away.

Do spiders know that I want to kill them?

Is my crazy pounding heart what alerts them?

Do spiders "feel" my fear?

Are you afraid of something? 

How do you deal with it?

Wednesday Blog Hop!

Blog Hops Starts Now!!

 

Again this week I'll be participating in Blog Hops!! Starting today with these ones!

Linking up...bloggers Blog Hop!!

Salut mes petites amies!

Quick post to let you know the blog hops in which I will be participating =) I find it such a cool idea. I never imagine that there were so many bloggers out there...and I'm quite overwhelmed because I barely have the time to really go through ALL of them and check them in detail!There is so much talent out there and so many interesting blogs not yet known...however I'll do my best to try to follow as much as possible.

If you haven´t join yet, do it and let's party!!

NOTE ASIDE: As much as I like the layout of my blog, I have to recognize it has its inconvenient. Like for example not having side bar or being able to add buttons...I wanted my blog to be simple and easy to keep so I would not get overwhelmed about making it pretty and concentrate in posts, but I feel I might eventually change it just to have all those extra things...I'd need some advice about this, I think...

Yeah!! more than 1000 views!

Quick post to say...Yeah!!! I've reached more that 1000 views!!

Thanks to everyone that is out there reading and sharing.

Huge "Thank you" too to my 5 first followers!! =D

It really motivates me to keep writing.

Liebster Blog Award

Hello!

I was nominated by I am piscis to do this tag for the Liebster Blog Award. This award is given to new blogguers with less than 200 hundreds subscribers. According to what I am Pisces wrote in her tag, "Liebster" means in German: sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, cute, welcome, endering...such a cool world to learn!=)

1- Is this your first time blogging?

Nope, I've actually started two other blogs in the past with not much success. I'm guessing they are still out there somewhere in the net...

2- What's your favorite food?

I like eating so much that I can not pick just one thing...I guess yummy salads, sushi and Chinese food and anything typical from Spain and Mediterranean diet!

3- Do you have any pets? what are their names?

Yes, I do! I have a cat called Mix that I love very, very much. I miss him a lot because he is back home in Madrid.

4- What's the weather like where you live?

Right now, kind of crazy. Really warm and humid and with lots of summer rains and storms.

5- Ice cream, frozen yogurt or gelato?

In this order: gelato, ice cream (I always thought that gelato was just the Italian word for ice cream...) and frozen yogurt at last just because I have never tried!

6- Do your family or friends read your blog?

No, only my boyfriend knows about it. He is very supportive and he told me he was proud of me for taking a step forward and starting mine.

7- what do you enjoy most about blogging?

All the thinking about what I will talk about, the pictures I will use...it takes me a lot of effort sometimes but still...I feel like in continuous brainstorming since I started!

8- First blog ever read

Honestly I can´t remember...

9- What do you want to get done before the end of 2012?

Quite a few things actually!!

First, finish my master's thesis, keep the blog up doing good things with it, take a German course and learn something from it (starting in Oct.); since I have already planned paying the gym, actually going to it and get fit, get the internship I want in the company I want and realizing that's the type of job I was looking for...keep loving my b/f at least as much as I do now.

10- When you shop, what do you buy the most of shoes, clothes, purses, accessories or make up?

To be honest, if I could I'd buy a lot of everything but since I can´t and I have quite control of myself, in order of preference it goes like this: make up/beauty related, clothes, shoes and in equal level purses and accessories.

11- What's one thing you can't not leave without?

I don´t know...there is actually not a single thing I couldn´t leave without out because I think that if you are strong enough you can over take any loss. Biologically speaking you can not leave without skin or at least one of your lungs. Life would be quite boring without make-up, clothes, going out, music, readin, sports, traveling or meeting people...right? My boyfriend probably would say he can not leave without rize, which is like his favourite thing in the whole world. I'd say that feeling like I've found my other half, I couldn´t leave without him. <3

I'm supposed to nominate 11 people and make 11 questions on my own. For that I need to think about it a bit, so I'll post it in the next few days.

Hope you all have a wonderfull week!!
