Love

I know this might come across like a cheesy post but it's the way I feel. I told you before how I think that all of us have to kiss a few frogs before finding a prince... but in my opinion... more than frogs I've found toads!!! Lol (sorry if you are reading this and you are offended for being called a toad lol)

I had an operation last monday, nothing serious but it hurts like hell! I've been at home for 6 days, I can only feel the sunshine when I go to the backyard for a few minutes.
They used anesthesia so I wasn't awake during the operation, once it was done, they took me to another room and then they took me to my room. I was feeling like sh*t but one of the best feelings ever was to see my parents and to see him. I don't remember it quite well, but to see his face, and to feel the kiss he gave me on my forehead was priceless.

I don't know why but Love (yeah with capital L) it's not something very cool or fashionable. What's cool is to be a maneater (sex in the city type) and don't be attached to anyone, which for a matter of time it can be nice but only if you get around the right kind of people. Sometimes it can hurt your self esteem if you are not careful, when you are trying to pretend to be "cool" you get hurt and it's your own fault because you allow the other person to hurt you. (that's a pretty common mistake I've made in the past)

But... how awesome it feels to wake up in the morning and see that he's there? How awesome it is to know that no matter what he's gonna be there by your side?

I'd like to use this post to thank him for all he's doing for me and for how well he's taking care of me.
I will always love him no matter what.

Te quiero mucho Jake!

Driving

Oh well... I'm pretty pissed... yesterday I was on my way to hospital to have a test done when a stupid "guardia civil" (a kind of cop) stopped me. I was quite naive to think that he had just stopped me for the sake of it, but oh no... I got a 200€ fine!!! He and his mate must have been pretty bored. They were stopped on the side of the road and they dediced to stop me... I promised I didn't do anything wrong!!! My fiance would have told me: Pilaaaar what are u doing?? But he didn't! he agreed with me! I didn't do anything wrong!!!
This is not my first experiene with the police, but the two last times they stopped me (because I did something wrong), I got away with it pretty easily by crying my heart out and saying that my parents were horrible people and that If I got home with a fine they'd sell me to a human dealer or send me to work in the mines lol :P

My brother just passed his driving test last Friday, I was so glad for him! Because your life changes completely when you have a license !! For me it was a pretty good way to be lazy as hell! lol But  it seriously changes your life! For us (me and my brother) it's really useful since we don't live in Madrid and the public transport during the weekends it's a nightmare. And ... let's face it, it makes you feel incredibly cool!

But getting the license can be a traumatising experience, sometimes it can take a little longer than you might have thought on the first place (and at least here in Spain it's extremely expensive!!). It consists in two parts, a test and a practical exam. The teachers only teach you to pass the exam not to be a real driver! There are some things that you learn as you go!

The first time I took the car out by myself I went to a shopping centre, I parked and when I came out, I tried to make it work but the wheel WASN'T WORKING, it wasn't even moving! I thought Oh God.... what have I done!!! So I call my own and personal 911, my dad. He was pretty busy so he barely listened to what I was saying so he told me to call the garage, as soon as I started explaining what have happened the guy started laughing sooooo hard! Apparently my wheel was only "locked" and It could be unlocked just by putting the keys in and giving it a bit of a shake.... Oh well....

But the relieve is that I'm not the only one... I won't say names so any of my friends feel offended, but you know who u are lol

A) Friend number 1. She was practising with the teacher driving down a street and then all of a sudden she stopped. The teacher asked, why are u stopping? And she pointed at a bird that was "crossing" the street, a pigeon to be more accurate. The teacher said: don't u think that it'll fly once we get closer sweetie? And she started at him and (pretty smartly if I may add) she said: What if it cannot fly?? lol!!!!

B) Friend number 2. She was gonna take a bunch of us to McDonald's but she told me: Pilar I need fuel, I went to the gas station yesterday (full deposit) and now it's gone. She has a cute and small car that doesn't use much more gas than a lighter so I said maybe you have a leak or something because it's not possible! So we went into the cars and as soon as we got to the car station she told me (full of excitment) I have gas again!!! And I was like...what do u mean by "again"?? The thing was that she didn't checked how much fuel she had with the engine on lol.

C) Friend number 3. Her dad was trying to give her a bit of a 101 "get to know your car" lesson, he started saying how cars need oil and stuff and she asked... sunflower or olive oil?? LOL!

But as I said we all learn as we go and I'm pretty sure you all have funny stories about this subject.

Thanks for reading!!

PS: Friend number 1, 2 and 3 , I Love you all! =)

I wanna be a billionaire!!




First of all I love this song and I love Bruno's voice! And I agree with him "I wanna be a billionaire so f***ing bad" ... I wouldn't be one of those eccentric lasses that go around with fur coats and gold chains.. I'd be a "normal" rich girl! lol

Whenever I watch "MTV Cribs" I wonder about how I'd like my ideal house to be... I wouldn't go for Donald Trump's style:



This kind of "lame european rococo palace" it's absolutely horrid in my opinion. But I'd still want to have a few class things lol, a movie theatre is one of them! and of course i'd love to get one of those vintage pop corn machines! A pool would be cool too, and an ice cream bar! oh! and one of those walk - in closets! (full of clothes obviously otherwise it wouldn't make sense)

Having a personal cook specially trained by my mother is one of the things I've always wanted! Well maybe a full team of cooks, cuz If I want a room service 24/7 I'd need more than one person!
I really like to drive, but a chofer sounds pretty good too, specially for those days when you go to Madrid and there's nowhere to park, and the idea of being able to have a nap on the way to work must be really sweet!

I'd also like to have a private spa, nothing too fancy just a jacuzzi, a pool, a massage bed and one of those cool scented showers. Well now that I think about it a few more things pop into my mind like a post production studio with the most expensive MAC in the market, a recording studio, a photographic studio and maybe a make up room (full of make up, I was taking it for granted).

Oh well, now that I'm reading all the things I wrote it might come across as a bit eccentric... Maybe having loads of money makes u act like that, some may say that money doesn't give happiness but I think it helps a lot! lol

Yesterday I watched again "Saving Grace" (El jardín de la alegría) - not the tv show, the british movie -, I'm posting the trailer here so you can see what it's about just in case you haven't seen it:



In this times of crisis this idea seems to be pretty tempting lol...


*******SPOILER******

I nearly cried when I saw her burning all the weed that might have been worth around 1M Pounds! lol


Well, I'll keep dreaming about being a billionaire, now that I'm unemployed I have loads of time to do it!

Thanks for reading!
