So it's been a while. I blame it on workpressure and good weather. I have been melting the last couple of weeks and spending hours behind my laptop just seems like such a shame then. Only two more weeks to go in Pontevedra and still so much to visit and see. My sister visited me some weeks ago. We had quite a good time but it's not like we'll ever ( Read more... )

So Groezrock ended up being a weird festival experience. It felt nothing like the usual summer festivals that I go to. Maybe because I wasn't in the mood, maybe because I went with 2 couples instead of a big group of friends, maybe because it was very cold in the evening, I'm just not sure. Some of the bands were awesome though. Sum 41 and AFI ( Read more... )

I urgently have some catching up to do with my f-list, but I have a perfectly good reason why I'm behind on commenting. I was on holiday. I stayed for five days in Seville and for two in Madrid and in both cities I had an amazing time. Having breakfast on the rooftop terrace of my hostel, strolling around in the gardens of the Reales Alcazares, ( Read more... )

My annoying flatmate is finally moving out tomorrow. She's a really lovely and friendly girl but I still don't like her. The small bad habits I support from my other two flatmates, I just can't seem to accept from her. I know part of the reason why I don't like her is jealousy and another part is that I think she's fake and egocentric. I don't know ( Read more... )

Had one of the best weekends ever in Cardiff, while visiting inpurity . On Saturday we went out to this rock bar where they only played pop/punk/rock bands like The Lostprophets, Taking Back Sunday, Paramore and everybody was dancing! The best club in the world in my opinion. Too bad I'm living so far from it. We also went to the cinema to see Alice In ( Read more... )

I checked the line-up for my summer festivals a few days ago and I just couldn’t believe my eyes.

Groezrock: Bad Religion, Story of the Year, Parkway Drive and oldies like SUM 41, AFI and LIT. I mean, that is just pure heaven. So many of my favourite bands united in one little punkrock festival.

Rock Werchter: 30 Seconds to Mars and Rise Against ( Read more... )

The one thing I like the most about preparing holiday clases like Christmas or Valentine is that I have to make a CD with appropriate music. So this last week I've been putting together a Valentine playlist. My favourite must be Ben E. King with Stand by me. Olivia Newton-John with Hopelessly devoted to you and Axelle Red with Je t'attends rank ( Read more... )

I'm going to Barcelona on Friday! I've been looking forward to this trip for weeks. Finally a break, not one single 4-year-old will be on my mind. My search for a good volunteer project for next year is harder than I thought. The one I was originally crazy about has bad financial papers so I had to look further. Righ now I'm writing a motivation ( Read more... )

Sometimes life is too predictable. Like how you've never encountered a person or a thing in all your life, and then you do it twice in the same week. In this case: Rey Mysterio. I read Ray's blog on Tuesday, and on Friday I discover that a boy in my class has a pencil case with the wrestler on it. What the fuck?

I also have a new student. A fifteen ( Read more... )
