they're trying to find us

Today was my Summer tea party (the first one of my second year of planning tea parties, yay!). Let's skip to the part where they arrived.
While waiting for two girls, we were all in my bedroom watching funny videos and just talking until... Vale and Lelei appeared! Yay!

Once everybody was at the tea party room (formerly known as dining room, hahaha) and I finished preparing tea, we started eating! We had all sorts of conversations (we have the most random converstations on those tea parties... well more than usual) and had a great time.

After we finished, we went to the third floor to play Rockband ♥. We spent like two hours playing!

Cata, Isa, Rouz and I went downstairs, because we were tired and we weren't playing anymore. Cata chose a CD (Alex Ubago's ¿Qué pides tú?) so we started singing and performing ridiculously. At the end, all the other girls came to my bedroom and we were just joking around and having fun.

When everybody was gone, I went chatting with my dearest friends Julie, Paulight and Toti and we made the most wonderful plans starting next summer: to visit each others and all together. Not like just me meeting Toti, but all four of us together! Wouldn't it be nice? (yes, like the song, hahaha).

the simple life

Una vez más, tienen a Camila pensativa.
Hoy, el resto de los días que postee en esta semana (con suerte serás 2 más, jajaja), estarán en español (like the old days), debido a que estoy con mi ánimo dieciochero. Qué chileno no lo está! Qué es eso, for God's sake? Para eso estoy yo. El dieciocho de septiembre de 1810 se realizó en Chile la Primera Junta de Gobierno, la que dio inicio a lo que llamamos la etapa de "Independencia" de Chile. Ese es el día nacional de este país (o como yo solía llamarlo cuando más chica, el cumpleaños de Chile, que suena mucho más lindo). Así que el ánimo/espíritu dieciochero es el sentimiento de chilenidad, por decirlo de alguna manera :)

Por qué pensativa? No sé, pero puedo hacer un resumen de lo que pensaba.
Bueno, mientras veía Gilmore Girls me puse a pensar en esa gente que le gusta aparentar cosas. A esa gente que le gusta ir a Starbucks para verse bien entre sus pares, esa gente que se compra Vogue todos los meses para estar actualizada con el mundo de la moda (y no verse como una loser en frente del resto de la gente a la cual le es natural saber de todo aquello) y que anda en tacones por la ciudad para creerse importante. Y me puse a pensar si yo soy así. Divagué por un buen rato en mi mentecita hasta que me di cuenta que yo no soy esa clase de persona. Que todo lo que hago es porque me gusta y me apasiona. Yo voy a Starbucks porque el café de ahí es rico y que, simplemente, no podría preparar algo igual en casa (además los que atienden son simpatiquísimos y prácticamente soy otra más de ellos). Además yo tomo té inglés, porque no hay bebida que me apasione más que el té y no he encontrado sabor más exquisito de té que el Lady Grey de Twinings. Compro Vogue todos los meses porque disfruto leyéndola, es como ver tu película favorita con distintos tonos cada vez. Además, como amante de la fotografía, Vogue es como mi libro sagrado, hay fotografías espectaculares y secciones que me encantan, las entrevistas y de vez en cuando me encuentro con agradables sorpresas. Me gusta Gossip Girl, me gusta Lipstick Jungle, pero también adoro Grey's Anatomy, Friends, Two and a Half men y The Big Bang Theory. No me gusta toda la música que está de moda (de hecho muy poca) yme gusta lo vintage. En el cine, no soy una admiradora de los Chick Flicks y amo el drama, como también el cine antiguo (sí, yo miro TCM). Y por qué intento vestirme bien? Por mí misma, porque me gusta, porque es divertido, porque es tuyo, porque amo los estilos y porque soy una persona que le gusta estar segura de sí misma y una persona que desea ser única y auténtica.

Esa fue la reflexión del día y no los culpo por no haberla leído, porque a mí misma me va a dar lata leerlo ahora para mi revisión de errores tipográficos (aún escribo mirando el teclado).

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.

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

you can never escape from the hole of rock 'n' roll

And my bro's back from New York (NYC, Manhattan, Tannersville, Hunter Mountain...) with two and a half dollars in his pocket. He spent all his salary in food, tickets, clothes (I loved the T's he brought, they all have funny messages. And he also bought a DKNY tee) , gifts and a great laptop.

He brought me Elle, Vogue, Teenvogue and Vanity Fair magazines; two books: P&P and Atonement; a movie called Across the Universe, which I wanted to watch for so long and it's still not released in Chile; a videogame, Zoo Tycoon; a Statue of Liberty pen; a Statue of Liberty crown and the typical I ♥ NY T-shirt.
My dad was given a portable DVD with one of Elvis' concerts and mum, a Swarovski earrings and necklace set.
