I can't seem to make me mine.

So I've been watching almost non stop "Community". New tv show on my list! So sad, I've even fallen in love with my Ikea bed. I think I miss feeling loved and feeling someone actually cares about me. Oh well. Changing sad subjects, classes start on thursday and I can't wait. Lighting, photoshop, art history... I really need to keep my mind busy and distracted from my stupid thoughts. Sofia is arrived to the city yesterday and we'll get to have a girly diner here, isn't that awesome? Oh, I didn't mention Monica left. We felt really bad, I really did but well, I'm happy to have the apartment free again. Friday, we will host our apartment warming "party" or gathering or whatever you want to call it. I plan on disappearing and hide in my big closet and talk to my (way too many) shoes. I'm not feeling it. Camila is super excited about it but I'm not really into the idea of having a bunch of people I don't really know that well coming here. I'm not even sure I care about anyone else than Max & Sofia. And well, Juanma, my ex. But he doesn't care about me anymore so I'm not sure how to feel about him. So yeah. I'd rather have a casual diner or something but bummer.
Also, I really really really need to do some editing work, write on my lovely paper diary and work on some birthday presents. Oh, and I started ice skating again. Turns out I surprisingly didn't forget everything I learned over the summer.

We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.

La tête dans les nuages, sous la mer.

Je suis en plein projet de photographie. Tout un challenge. On m'a demandé de faire les flyers pour le Fashion Show de la Springfest. Le thème: La guerre. Et la je bloque. Manque d'inspiration, c'est la première fois qu'un thème me bloque comme cela. Aujourd'hui, ma modèle préférée est venue. Oui, Maria Olsson a accepté de m'aider avec le projet. En exclusive (parce-que je sais que personne ne viendra voir ce blog, héhé) je vous montre les essais d'aujourd'hui, mes préférées. Je ne suis pourtant pas du tout contente du résultat... Ces photos ne sont pas faites pour des flyers et je ne suis pas certaine que l'école les approuve (les premières). Je vous laisse me donner votre avis, parce-que j'en ai besoin.

Enfin bref, parlant d'autre chose: j'ai enfin réussi à trouver des chaussures à mon goût. J'ai tout trouvé d'un coup, dans le même magasin: Salamander, dans les galeries de Louise. Mercredi, après avoir raté mon rendez-vous chez le dentiste croyant arriver à l'heure alors que ça faisait 30mn qu'on m'attendait, je pars avec maman pour un shopping bal du bac qui se transforme en shopping chaussures. J'en suis ressortie avec trois belles paires. Il était temps de changer et de passer à autre chose. Il était temps que mes Convers prennent la retraite. Prochainement, je posterais quelques photos de mes trouvailles :)

Bonne nuit,

Para la prosperidad...

Back from London. Today was an exhausting day. I arrived yesterday at 11pm home and went to bed really late. I decided then to wake up at 9h. Skip history of art and philosophy. And yes, I feel bad but I would have felt worse and zombi-like if I had gone earlier. 

Anyway, London was great, amazing. A great group, not so good weather but we did get some sunshine. First of all, a UCL presentation/chat with Martin White who was a funny guy with Peter Griffin's laugh. That was fun. We then had a guided tour of the university. Two students accepted to show us around. That was pretty boring but okay. We then walked (a lot) to our meal place: A church crypt. Unfortunately, the church was closed and we couldn't visit it. We decided to walk around and do some shopping (unsuccessful). The sun decided to show up so it was pretty nice. 14h45, meeting at the Phoenix theatre to see the musical Blood Brothers which was really cool. I totally recommend it. After three hours of music and acting, back to St.Pancras station. 20 minutes to buy a sandwich for diner and fruit at Starbuck's and we were already waiting for our train. After some time finally resting, the train arrived and there we were, going back to Brussels after a fantastic day trip :) 

Lo mejor de mi vida eres tu.

Hello there, how are you?

Today I am not so good and I have some bad news for me. I have given up the 365daysProject. Because it's not the right time. I think I'll start over soon (april?) or maybe I'll just wait for summer, I still don't know.

Anyway, finally holidays. Yess. I know I should have written before and I am sorry but I am feeling down lately.

The good news are (yes, there are actually good news) that I am finally starting my new scrapbook and finally organizing all the papers, tickets, pamphlets... etc. And I have already done an entire week of my road trip in the USA! I have also spoken a lot to my boyfriend. We are both organizing my trip to Colombia in april. Yes yes yess. Ouh! And I have planned a photo shoot for tomorrow, so I'll show you the results very soon.

University research is also progressing. I am thinking about going to San Francisco: Academy of art University. I have received today a huge catalog/book with all the information. It's scary. 

Otherwise, I have been watching like a thousand episodes of Gilmore girls. Just 'cause I am feeling girly and gnaaaa (don't try to understand what that means. Although, if you're a girl, you'll probably do) since carnival, last friday. I felt like Cleopatra for a day. It was pretty fun.

Anyway, I don't have much more to say today but I'll probably come back tomorrow.

No french today. Oh la la.

I AM 18.

Oh la la. La terrible. Ca fait déjà plus d'une semaine que je n'ai rien posté! N'est-ce pas malheureux?

Bon, j'vous raconte un peu en gros alors.

Mercredi, c'était mon anniversaire. Mais il a commencé mardi avec un magnifique bouquet de fleurs surprise de la part de mon amoureux qui s'est débrouillé pour me le faire parvenir même si il est de l'autre côté de l'océan. Mercredi, appel de ma soeur depuis NYC (j'suis trop une VIP), puis tout plein de gâteaux et trucs au chocolat à l'école: Une madeleine de la part de Juan, un gros gâteau de la part d'Andrea et un brownie de la part de Maria :) Le bonheur quoi. Un long cadeau m'attend de la part d'Andrea qui l'a préparé en 18 morceaux. On verra ce que ça donne. Enfin bref, on a déjeuné avec maman papa et petit frère dans l'un des meilleurs restaurants japonais de Bruxelles. Au menu, plein de choses bizarres mais délicieuses et un gros plat de sashimi. Ouais, comme j'vous disais VIP. C'est là que maman décide de me donner son cadeau et me donne une belle enveloppe. Je l'ouvre et devinez.... Un voyage de deux semaines en avril à Bogota pour aller voir mon amoureuuuuuuuuux! Bonheur, bonheur, bonheur! Ca ce peut d'avoir des parents aussi géniaux et fantastiques? Je ne le pense pas. Je n'en reviens toujours pas.

Je suis depuis, donc, en train de préparer mon voyage, en train de chercher partout ce qu'il faut absolument que je visite. Mais la meilleure partie sera sans doute mon guide: mon amoureux (héhé). Faut avouer que c'est un peu intimident mais j'ai hâte d'y être et je vous ferait un compte-rendu détaillé, no worrieeees, héhé.

Sinon j'ai aussi du lire Massimilla Doni (illisible) pour appro, raison de plus pour laquelle je n'ai pas eu trop de temps pour vous écrire. Puis, Glee est revenu avec deux nouveaux épisodes, ainsi que How I met your mother, The big bang theory &co.

Bref, j'vais pas vous ennuyer avec encore plus de blabla et j'vous promet de revenir plus souvent.

I know. I am terrible. It's been over a week that I haven't posted anything. Isn't that awful? 

Wednesday was my birthday. But it started a bit early, the day before with a beautiful surprise: a bouquet of roses from my boyfriend who managed to send them to me even if he lives across the ocean. So wednesday, my sister called from NYC (I am so VIP). Then I got so many chocolate and things to fatten me up: A home made muffin from Juan, a big yummy cake from Andrea and a brownie from Maria :) Happiness. Arriving to the gift part, a long one from Andrea is awaiting me. She has prepared 18 parts that I will be discovering this year. Isn't that so sweet? We'll see what she has in mind. Anyway, after school (beeeh), we had an amazing happy family meal at one of the best japanese restaurants in Brussels. Lots of weird delicious thing and a big dish of sashimi (paradise). Yeah, I told you I was so VIP. That's when mom decided to give me their gift: a beautiful envelope. I opened it and guess what was inside.... A two weeks trip to Bogota, Colombia in April to se my boyfrieeeeend! Happiness, happiness and even more happiness! Is it possible to have such wonderful and fantastic parents? I don't think so. I still can't believe it! I have already started to prepare the trip and look around for places I have to visit. But the best part is the guide: Lovely boyfriend, héhé. I must admit it's a little intimidating but I can't wait to be there. Of course, I will be telling you everything!

Otherwise I had to read Massimilla Doni (unreadable) for appro, that's why I couldn't write before. That and because Glee, How I met your mother and Big Bang theory posted new episodes and also because I happen to have a life :)

Anyways, I don't want to bother you so I'll stop. But I promise I'll be back soon and more often!

Bang your dead, alouette, here’s your silhouette.

Bonsoir!
Comment va le fantôme qui lis ce blog? Moi, fatiguée. J'ai vraiment souffert ce matin. Je n'avais jamais eu autant de mal à me lever! Mon examen de français L2 commençait à 13h30. Hé bien, j'ai décidé de me lever tôt. Mon réveil sonna à 8h, puis 9h, puis 10h, puis 11h, puis 11h15. J'étais si bien dans mon petit lit, bien au chaud sous ma couette... Heureuse.
Enfin bref, parlons de choses un peu plus intéressantes comme le nouveau projet que j'ai en tête. J'ai décidé de commencer le Project 365. En gros, je vais prendre une photo chaque jour pendant un an. Je faisais ça il y a longtemps mais au lieu de prendre des photos, j'écrivais. Chaque jour, j'essayais d'écrire ce que je faisais, ce qui m'arrivait. Mais évidement, je n'ai pas réussi. Ca a duré un an plus ou moins mais je n'ai pas réussi à écrire tous les jours. J'ai trouvé que c'était une chouette idée donc voilà, je commence aujourd'hui! Chaque photo sera (ou pas) accompagnée d'un petit texte explicatif. J'espère que ça te plaira, M.Fantôme.

Hello there :)
How's the ghost who reads this blog? I'm tired. It was so difficult to wake up this morning. L2 french exam, 13h30. My alarm rang at 8h, then 9h, then 10h, then 11h, then 11h15. I was so good in my bed, warm and happy.
Anyway, let's talk about something more interesting like the new project I have in mind. I have decided to start the Project 365. Basically, I am going to be taking at least one picture everyday. I used to do that but instead of photos, I wrote. Everyday, I tried to write what I did. Of course I did not succeed. It lasted a year or so but I couldn't write every single day. I thought it was a great idea and I decided to start today! Every photograph will be (or not) accompanied by a little something written. Hope you'll like it, Mr.Ghost.

Don't you let me go tonight.

Bonsoir :) Comment allez vous?

Je suis crevée, stressée et j'ai peur pour mes examens. Mais c'est que je ne suis qu'un sale procrastinatrice. Mais (fière de moi), j'ai finalement fini mes devoirs d'anglais (yay).

Sinon, je reviens ce soir du vernissage de l'exposition "Tu veux ma photo? Regards croisés". Ca m'a fait tout drôle de retrouver mes photos exposées dans une sale pleine de gens! J'ai finalement gagné le bon de la Fnac (qui n'est qu'une radine et a décidé de donner un bon de 25€ aux lauréats, haha!), sans oublier une clé USB du parlement bruxellois (YAY!). Non, mais franchement, j'suis vraiment heureuse. Une semaine exposé au parlement, dont une journée de drink de jesaisplusqui avec 700 personnes! Vous pouvez y croire? Pas moi. Puis tout le mois de février, l'exposition se déplace à la Fnac de Toison d'Or et finalement, s'envole vers Paris! Woohoo! Enfin, je voudrais remercier Andrea, Sonsoles, Maria et ma famille pour m'avoir accompagné et m'avoir soutenu dans tout ça ♥

Enfin bref, il faut que je vous laisse, mes notes d'histoires m'attendent :)


Good evening:) How are you?
Me, I am tired, stressed and I fear my exams. But because I'm just a procrastinator. But (proud of me), I finally finished my English homework (yay). 

Otherwise, I came back tonight from the opening of the exhibition"Tu veux ma photo? Regard croisés". It was kind of amazing to see my photographs exposed in that beautiful room, full of people! I finally won the Fnac voucher (Who was so ratty and decided to give 25€ to the winners, haha!), plus a Brussels' parliament USB! (YAY!). No, but frankly, I'm really happy. One week presentation in the parliament, including a day with a 700 people drink! Can you believe in? I can't. Then in February,
the exhibition moves to the Fnac Toison d'Or, and finally flies to Paris! Woohoo! Finally, I'd like to thank Andrea, Sonsoles, Maria and my family for coming and encouraging me with this ♥
Anyway, I must leave you, my history notes are waiting for me :)

I'm bringing me back.

Désolé pour le long moment d'absence. Depuis vendredi passé je n'ai pas arrêté. J'vous raconte: Mon copain-le-plus-beau-et-le plus-coul m'a fait une super surprise et est arrivé plus tôt que prévu. Du coup, après être partie faire pipi pendant notre dîner sushi entre filles, il est apparu, là à ma place. Bonheur. Bref, depuis, je n'ai eu de temps que pour lui :) Lundi l'école a été fermée! (yeepee) et puis jeudi je me suis envolée en Espagne! Noël avec maman, papa, frère et soeur! Soirée magnifique. Lundi, mon copain-chéri arrive et j'ai hâte!

Enfin bref, j'vous ferais un compte rendu de tout ça.

Joyeux noël et bonne année (au cas où) ♥

Sorry for the long silence. Since last Friday I haven't stopped: My boyfriend-the-most-sexy-and-cool gave me an amazing surprise and arrived earlier than expected. So, after going to the bathroom during our girly dinner (sushi!), he appeared there, sitting on my chair. Happiness. Since then, I had only time for him :) Monday: the school was closed! (yeepee!) and then Thursday I flew to Spain! Christmas with mom, dad, brother and sister! Wonderful evening. Monday, my lovely-man arrives and I can't wait!

Anyway, I'll tell you next year (héhé) ;)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (in case) ♥
