a car office and some new body art...

I want to show you my new fridge, but I was not happy with the digital pics I made, so, I'm waiting for the films ones to be done...
I hate to be repetitive, but I have been working a lot lately... well, I do have time for myself, and specially to think about the fact that I have been working a lot...
I kind fo like what I'm doing... I mean, it was NOT, and I repeat, NOT what I signed up for when I pent 10 years in the University collecting degrees, but I'l not entirely unhappy doing what I'm doing. I'm still there because I want to, and not because I'm being forced to.
Nevertheless, I can't help but thinking how much I miss my dreams and my so called art... and sometimes I get myself thinking if I'll ever get back there...
well, only time will tell, right?
For now I leave you with my car office mess and some of my new tattoos...

smells like home...

Today I woke up and found no socks to wear... decided to go dig in a small bag with a few things I haven't touched yet (from the things I brought back from Paris). Found a pair of striped socks that had the smell of my Parisian laundry soap... 
I've been having some hard busy days... a loooooot is going on...
don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining... is just that sometimes is hard to look at the big picture...




PS. as if she was reading my mind I come home to find this post... exactly when I was thinking how badly I could use a calm evening chez elle...
PS2. found this tune and am a bit addicted to it...

butterflies...

and so it was almost 3 o'clock in the morning on a rainy Saturday night when I decided that I wanted to buy a small fridge for my bedroom... went for this one. What do you think? Honestly... 
Mom and I will pick it up tomorrow... can't wait!!
With that in mind, we decided to move some furniture around the room, to open some space for my new baby...
When I get things fixed in my bedroom I have all this mixed feelings... I'm all excited and also scared of how definitive this "trip" back home is becoming...
Well, once I have everything set up I'll share the pictures with you... for now I leave you with my beloved window...

random Holga

Haven't had much time to shot lately, but I just HAD to try my new holga lenses...




it's been chilly and rainy around here... (which also contributes for the lack of new pictures)
yesterday was a holiday... we went to see Eric Clapton... and for that I couldn't rest all that much (totally worth it, though...)
looking forward to the weekend, even if it'll be raining...

from Monday to Saturday

Busy busy week that ended only Saturday... quite boring to say the same old busy story every time... 
So, let me just say that it had its plus sides...
a movies night...
an evening with BFF...
great night out with the girls on Friday night (even with us having to wake up at £6 o'clock to go to work)
I actually learned a few things at the Saturday workshop... (by the way, I don't remember if I actually mentioned it, but, I work with moving. International moving. I am a PR at a quite large moving company)
we had a killer lunch with our bosses after the workshop...
received a phone call from a dear dear friend and spent an hour talking to him...
my cousin "chouchou" is in the city...
my aunt and uncle brought me the new lenses I bought in the USA for my nikon (it's an holga lenses for Nikon DSLR) and I can't wait to try it!
and next week we have a holiday on Wednesday...
a nice week after all....

my only mystery is to have no mysteries...

Went to the movies yesterday... I thought I wouldn't like the movie but, "what the hack" - I thought to myself - "I like the actor, so"... 
In the end, I liked the movie and, actually, left the theatre a bit nostalgic... 
In fact the movie had NOTHING to do with nostalgia, but... sometimes mind plays tricks on us... 
useless to try and understand it... 
Well, because of that nostalgia, I started reading one of my favorite books for the... well, again! Can't count anymore. lol


"I don't know if we miss what we really lived, or what we thought we lived, or wished we lived. Memory in selective."
"I miss, because I feel exiled of happiness, or at least, of the idea of happiness."



oh! and some music to share my nostalgia...

I, me, mine...

Alma made a comment on one of my posts saying that I only appear in pieces (hands, eyes, feet...).
I thought about it for the week and, well, why not?
So, here you go, my self-centered post!




The thing is, I'm always behind the lenses, so, I found quite hard to find a good picture of myself... 
after careful searching I chose this one, by my best friend's husband, back in Paris... (I really like the picture, but maybe I've chosen it for the nostalgia...)
That's it! Have you all a pleasant week end...


Oh... some music, of course...
