Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.






A voice is speaking, he's the prophet blinded by the light.
A heart is breaking, I can hear it dropped when gone beyond my sight.









This was a weekend full of Olympic Games (I'm so looking forward to go to London 2012), café Viennois, beauty saloon, internet, telly, Milla Jovović, cold, magazines, models, straight hair, cute comments, Topshop, and more and more café Viennois.

fête de thé

My Winter/Birthday Tea Party was awesome!
This time I won't give a very detailed view of the day like I did on the last one.
They started arriving 16.15hrs. Isa helped me with the whipped cream, then iGnaa arrived and all three of us cut the strawberries. Then Marti arrived, and then the rest (Cata, Pili, Rouz, Valeen, Cote). I opened the presents, which were incredibly beautiful.
We couldn't wait for the rest to arrive, so we went down to start the thing, between other things -hunger- because a group of girls had to go earlier.

They sang "Happy Birthday to you" in English just because I like it ^^(it was their own idea). And with an improvised birthday cake (they put candles on the lemon cake I made).Meanwhile we were eating, laughing, doing and talking nonsense, Mary and Vale, Igna R, Kichi arrived and joined the nonsense.
Well, after the 'group of girls' went, we went back upstairs, to my bedroom. We watched videos and had plushies fights. Finally, Cote and Kichi were left, I read the comic Cote gave me and laughed. In the end we made like the funniest videos ever ♥.

Thanks for everything, girls!!!

friends are not for sale

Well, today has been quite a perfect day. It started with supermarket, then some kitchen, it continued with anxiety, after that, arrival, laughter, emotion, goodbye, arrange and gossip girl.

SUPERMARKET: I woke up at 9 in the morning and like two hours after, my brother woke up and dressed, so he came downstairs (2nd floor) to pick me to go to the supermarket, where I bought some butter, white chocolate, icing sugar, milk and strawberries. Then, we came home.
KITCHEN: After we arrived, I went upstairs to wash my hands and then, immediately to the kitchen to sweeten strawberries, make buttercream frosting (for the fairy cakes) and some cream (for the scones).
ANXIETY: When I ended, I had lunch (about 2pm) and a shower. I set the table, and then I went to my bedroom, started listening to my Juno Soundtrack CD and turnt on the laptop and found Juli there so we started chatting about Facebook, Trojan preservatives, buying on internet and about fashion (♥). And I became SO anxious, I just wanted my friends to arrived.
ARRIVAL: As I expected, they arrived late (about 4pm instead of 15.15), but that was better, I think. Cote continued chatting with Juli (I have just noticed that), Isa said naughty thing to some of my contacts, they tried aaaaall my perfumes, read one of my teen vogues (the one with Blake Lively on the cover, 'twas the March issue, I think) and I hope nothing else, but if they did, I hope nothing too bad, hahaha. Anyway, they are my friends.

(today's photos could have been really beautiful, but I was busy like all the time, so I didn't pay too much attention to the camera, so the ones I took were awful, because I was kinda' hurried up doing things)

LAUGHTER: So we went downstairs, after we realised there was nobody else who could arrive. So the Autumn tea party officially started we talked about a looooot of things. Lots of gossip and nonsense topics (like pubes, our ex-classmates, Trojan condoms and circle time). And, of course, we laughed as much as we always do when we are all together.

EMOTION: I went to the kitchen to prepare hot cocoa (7 mugs) and hot white chocolate meanwhile they kept talking and laughing (we were 'in touch' because of the door which connects the kitchen and the dining room. Well, the thing is that we went to watch Across the Universe (the... seventh time I watch it?) and some of us went kind of emotional with it. I'm sooo happy, because almost every girl adored it. You know, it's really difficult to pick a movie for 10 other girls hoping that all of them like it, considering that we are so different. Specially Ignaa, because she hates cinema, and there are just a few movies that she really likes. AND also because I usually like some movies that other.

GOODBYE: So the movie ended and almost immediately, the most of the girls left, and a few minutes later Ignaa and Vale did too. So it was a quick farewell.
ARRANGE: First floor was quite a mess, so I had to arrange everything before 10pm (Gossip Girl!) and tomorrow, the only thing I have to do is wash the dishes (which is not a minor thing).
GOSSIP GIRL: I'm soooo into this programme! I love it! Every episode, I hate Georgie more and more and I love B more and more (she's so cute). I love what just happened (Chuck, Nate and B together to help their friend S, it's sooo cute! and they talked about their "sins" like so normally!:
Blair: We've seen you with vomit in your hair, making out with investment bankers in the men's room at PJ Clarke's. You don't have to hide anything from us.
Nate: She's right, Serena. I mean, none of us are saints.
Blair: Yeah, I had sex with him in the back of a limo.
Chuck: Several times.
Nate: I had sex with you at a wedding while I was her date. Once.
Chuck: I'm... Chuck Bass.
I love love love GG. It came back from commercials.

You know you love me,
XOXO,
Gossip Girl

light and fantastic

Tras una semana tan linda y perfecta como la anterior, en la que ví dos películas que me dejaron estupefacta, en la que fui a una feria de antigüedades que me iluminó y en la que al finalizar me hizo llorar, inicio con un nuevo aire esta fresca semana.
Cambié los colores del blog y de simplemelodie. Los últimos igual están lindos, pero los de aquí no me convencen. En fin, quería cambiar, así que los dejaré por lo menos una semana.

Nació en mi papá la ocurrencia de buscar en internet planes de turismo para irnos mi mamá y yo a tres maravillosos destinos: Madrid, Paris y Londres. Wouldn't it be nice? Además conoceríamos otras ciudades, como Burgos (España), Bordeaux, Rouen, Calais (France) y Dover (England).
Dream come true? Maybe.

tea party

Yesterday, my friends Kichi, Vale, Cote, Marti, iGnaa and Rouz came at four in the afternoon to my lovely tea party. They caught me making some fillings for my mini-tarts, but it didn't take too long, so we started immediately.

{Cote is a "water-party"* so she didn't take any photo with us in the table}
After we talked, laughed, joked, drank tea to many things, ate scones, mini-tarts, cake and cookies, we took off our clothes and got into the pool! We had a great time doing "horse fights", getting too close one to each other and going to the deep part of the pool, so we could barely breathe, etc.


Then everybody went to my bedroom and we showed the "Achmed" video to the girls who hadn't watched it {watch it!} and we laughed a lot. Kichi, Cote and I went upstairs to play "Guitar Hero" meanwhile the rest watched videos and took some photos (I didn't play too much, so I went downstairs again to join the photo session). Half an hour later, Vale, Marti, Rouz, iGnaa and I joined the girls in the third floor.


iGnaa had to go.
Girls kept playing and I started dancing at the sweet melody of hard rock, Rouz filmed me dancing and playing the "air guitar".
Marti had to go.
Cote found the "Pictionary" between the mess so we took it to my bro's bedroom. When we were about to start the game, Rouz said something like "I want to do the same thing that Cami did!", but the PlayStation2 was off, so she picked a song from her mobile and she started dancing and jumping on the bed until a plush Bodoque {her fan #1} "accidentally" knocked her and she fell down {that was so funny, she's so weak}.
We forgot the "Pictionary" and went to my bedroom to keep dancing and playing the air guitar, the air drums and the air bass, but without filming, because the memory of both my and Rouz's camera got almost full and unable to film the complete song, so we just had fun. {There was one moment that we were like incredibly mad, breaking the air guitars, jumping, rocking&rolling... and my mum came in, so, from one moment to another, we stopped and almost started whistling innocently and my mum was like "huh?"}.

When we got tired, we started doing some EMOs {Extreme MakeOvers}, but only with hairdos.
Cote had a ponytail, because we never see her with one.
Kichi already came with a new haircut, so we did nothing to her.
Vale was done two pigtails.
I had double buns, like the Princess Leia hairstyle.
Rouz was put a red wig and one of my hats.


Cote, Kichi and Vale had to go, so we took three last photos. Rouz stayed for about fifteen minutes more and she left.

These are my friends, see how they glisten...




* water-party: our way to say party-pooper, although we all know that party-pooper is the right term.

you were only waiting for this moment to arrive

Increíbles los fireworks en London. Los ví por la BBC. Acá no los ví tan de cerca como todos los años, porque no nos fuimos al cerro, pero no importa, los vimos igual desde la casa. Hoy un primero de enero similar al de todos los años, pero no igual. Este me ha gustado más. Aunque, para variar, fuimos al cementerio {debido al aniversario de muerte de mi tío Marquito, a quien no alcancé a conocer, porque falleció el primer día del 1992 y yo nací cuando el año ya había avanzado} y luego al servicentro de la bomba de bencina, fue más especial. Además descubrimos la laguna que estaba en el cementerio, que tiene peces, cisnes y patos {y unas aves parecidas que no sé cómo se llamarán}. Lo más tierno fueron los tres grupitos igualmente conformados por la Mamá Duck & her ducklings, justo daba la coincidencia de que los tres grupitos eran de patos blancos y en uno de ellos, había un patito feo, era uno medio gris, de lo más tierno. No faltaban los patos con cabeza verde, la línea del cuello blanca y el cuerpo cubierto de plumas marrones... Y así con los patos. Tendrán algún significado? Aunque lo tuvieran, no soy precisamente supersticiosa.
Un besito, Cami.

Recuerden que depende de cada uno el aprovechamiento de lo que nos depare el año.

the mystery of a speeding car

Julius, feliz cumpleaños (sí, de nuevo, por enésima vez).
Me alegro mucho de que nuestra amistad haya evolucionado de manera tan increíble que te llegue a tener este enorme cariño.
Hoy, mientras esperaba que dos amigas se compraran bikinis en Falabella, pasé por WANAMA y me compré una remera lila. Me acordé de ti por tu ex fotolog.
Después las chicas se fueron a Almacenes Paris y como no las encontré, me metí a TOPSHOP. Julieta vino a mi mente de nuevo.
Después almorzamos y luego a Starbucks. Adivina qué. Me acordé de ti.
Luego le dije a las chicas que me acompañaran a los teléfonos públicos y las pobres me esperaron un buen rato hasta que luego de once o doce llamados en distintas cabinas, no sirvió, cosa que me hizo pensar que algo anoté mal o que simplemente algo tenían los teléfonos.
Disculpa, que te dejé esperando.

En fin, te quiero mucho y este más de un año de amistad significa mucho para mí. Imagínate, en unos pocos días, comenzaremos un 2008. Nos conocimos un 2006. 06+07+08, o sea el año número tres juntas! Eso es bastante y estoy preparada para seguir trescientos años igual. Bueno, no igual, en esos trescientos años nos vamos a tener que conocer y juntar más de una vez!

Ya, amie. Te deseo lo mejor, porque eres la mejor.


Me re gusta esa foto, porque tiene ese toque re Julieta.

Muchísimas gracias Isa! Hoy, como me lo exijiste, los saludos son única y exclusivamente para ti.
