Holiday

Today I woke up really late and now I'm just surfing youtube videos. I found this awesome video:


It's really amazing how many covers have been made of this song!


And Taylor Swift released a new single from her coming album!!!!

I'm really sad right now because one of my best friends is leaving a year for Switzerland.

She's going to live with a host family in this little town in the alps called Grindelwald. But I'm so depressed right now because it's gonna be really hard to see her in the future because she's probably staying there after the year to study in a college there. But she's the kind of friend who completes the phrases I'm saying and sometimes I don't have to speak because we just look at each other and she says "I know, right?" before I even have to say anything. And she's also the one who I speak with about favorite mangas, music, movies, etc. In short, it's gonna be really hard to be without her. I'm probably gonna be speaking with her all the time now in facebook....

Hellcats

I've been watching the first episodes of this series during the weekend. It's really entretaining and I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be different from the usual disney series. I really like when they do their cheering routines. The only bad this is that the episodes are really long so it takes a long time to see each one... :(

But overall this has been a bad week for me in terms of technology. First of all,
-the desktop computer I usually use broke down,
-my usb got laundered with my clothes,
-the laptop I'm using right now froze down suddenly when it had never happened before,
-my cellphone cannot receive calls anymore,
-my alarm didn't work this morning
-the battery of my cellphone only last six hours
-and that is without mentioning al the virus I've been dealing with...

But somehow I made it through the week, after this I'll try to study for my chemistry exam tomorrow.... 

Only Girl (In The World) - Ellie Goulding

Great song! I really love her covers.

Today I watched a lot of dead human bodies and at some point I didn´t know if I was nauseous or just hungry... haha... Well after that I did eat a lot of Taco Bell so it was probably hunger!

But apart from that, has it ever happened to you that you wanted to forget about someone but you literally see him everywhere??? It's so messed up that it's sick!!! But I can´t judge clearly because this past months  I'm just fucking tired most of the time and some sometimes I don´t really give a shit. And that is when I'm not snapping in front of someone like I'm doing right now but the only difference is that this is online.

It's probably better that I stop now before I say too much! I'll better post some great music!




The music I post is so different that is funny.... haha



Just finished reading this book:

More book reviews....

Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book is one I've been looking forward to reading for a long time. I didn´t know what to really expect but I was still really interested and most of all curious. The reason why I was curious is the fact that great part of the story takes place in Guatemala (where I live) and that I've gone to the rest of the places it mentions. I wanted to know the way tourists perceived our country (especially backpackers) including good and bad things. What I got was a really honest description of my country told by someone that goes to the less traveled and tourist friendly locations. Of course it mentions the many discomforts of traveling with a low budget (but you always encounter many discomforts if you travel with a low budget anywhere) but it also describes the beauty of the landscapes, the culture and liberation you get while traveling this way.

Another reason why I enjoyed this book is that some months ago I went to the same places Bria went to and I totally understand the magic of being in this places. Of course, I didn't stay in hostels or traveled in cramped buses but I still got the feeling of getting away of reality like Bria does. And it always is a beautiful feeling when you stand in the exact same place the character of the book stood in and experience the same feelings the character does.

****SPOILER*****
In respect to the relationship between Bria and Rowan, it reflects a real relationship with its ups and downs but somehow it is really unexpected when they end up togheter because during great part of the book they treated each other like siblings and unexpectedly... boom! they get togheter and suddenly they are most magical couple! So I felt that the romance part of the story was squeezed in into the story and somehow felt out of place. And another thing that I didn't like was that Bria was too naive and ignorant in many ways. And I totally hated how she always needed someone to depend on.
****SPOILER*****

But overall it was an okay book!

The Day Before by Lisa Schroeder

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Wow!!!! I had never read a book written like this. And I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. Due to the way it was written it turned out to be a really quick reading. This book is about a girl that goes off alone to the beach to think about mysterious problems that the reader doesn´t know about until later. There she meets a boy that completely changes her view of life.

This book is unexpectedly deep and real. And makes you reflect about a lot of different things. Is really refreshing after reading a lot of modern romance novels.

A Thousand Times Stronger

 I have some great movies to share!!!

The original name of this movies is Tusen Gånger Starkare.

This is one of the best foreign films I've watched in a lot of time!



Besides Monsieur Lazhar, this one is about an algerian teacher in a canadian school that has to take care of a classroom where the last homeroom teacher killed herself.



And "i taket lyser stjärnorna" that's called Glowing Stars in english. This movie is about a swedish girl that reacts in different ways when her mother is dying because of cancer.

Dear God - The Roots (Zeds Dead Remix)

Some review I wrote in goodreads while I was procrastinating....

Breathe by Abbi Glines

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I read this book expecting something similar to the other books of Abbi Glines. What I got was her usual scenes filled with sexual tension that seem to have gotten better with her more recent books. While Sadie's character was kind of innocent and sweet, she was still really likable and you can´t help but want that she ends up with Jax.

Of course, the development of the book was really predictable but nevertheless I enjoyed every scene and it kept me really entretained. It was a fast read and while it wasn´t that great like her other books it was what I was looking for when I wanted something similar to the Vincent Brothers after finishing reading the book.

I've been reading a lot of books like this and listening to dubstep music.

Like this one!

Hodejegerne

I saw this norwegian film some days ago. I expected it to be some kind of thriller with a lot of mystery, and I kind of got that... but it also turned out to be a really bloody movie. And I mean, I can handle bloody but this one got me by surprise. But it still is interesting so you should check it out!

Apart from that, it's been some months since I've been having problems with my vision and I got headaches when I tried to see something far away. So yesterday I had a vision exam and it turned out that I needed glasses. But it turned out that I had to wait a lot of days to get some normal glasses so instead I ended up getting contact lenses because they gave them in that instant. They optometrist taught me how to use them and since yesterday I've kind of gotten used to poking my eyes with my fingers! haha... I hope I get used to them soon... : )

Stormy weather....

I guess there's an hurricane close to the coast because right now the trees outside my window are moving in scary ways, the light has gone out several times and my internet service is really slow.... mmm but the weirdest thing is the horizontal rain and the pieces of ice coming down... haha... well it's 2012 after all... haha

So in the past days I've become really obsessed with ballet. I find that it's great workout and the day after I don't mind my throbing limbs so much thanks to the happy hormones I get due to the excercise.  yay!!

My favorite move is the arabesque!!!

So I've been listening to some great playlists while I'm working out and while I'm reading books.

Male Voices That'll Make You Melt from ldom on 8tracks.

This one is for reading.

put in work from shelbylouwho on 8tracks.

This one is for working out.

Dubstep Songs You Should Know from laurenxxleduc on 8tracks.

And these ones are just great dubstep songs!!

I'm also seeing a lot of anime.

Like Hikaru No Go.

And Chihayafuru.

Girl with a Pearl Earring

Today I've been reading the book "Girl with a Pearl Earring" after seeing the movie yesterday.

The book so far is great. I love when the books mention the paintings and analyze them. And I love it even more when the painting are from Johannes Vermeer!

 

So while I'm reading I have found out that listening to dubstep is the best! Because it carries you through the emotional parts of the book without getting distracted. Here is the great playlist I've been listening to...

Indie with a wobble. from JoanneKim on 8tracks.

And it turned out to be a great remedy as I had been depressed the whole day because I found out that I'll probably have to wear glasses... But now I have cheered up and I'll probably end up wearing contacts or some great hipster glasses like this.

The girl in the photo is Ebba Zingmark. She is a swedish blogger and you can follow her blog HERE!!!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

It's been such a great day! not that I've had huge parties or anything but I've just been hanging out with friends and family. It's good to know that the people that matter care and that is enough for me!  : D

Now I'm gonna share with you a ton of music that I've been hearing lately.


This song is really great!! But now that I was looking for it to show it to you, I realized that it's really hard to find it. So if you can, look for the song on itunes and buy it! so you can support the artist!


This is an old but good song!


Another old one, so you know that I've been listening to a lot of indie, haha


This song is to show you how much I love drum&bass.


More indie! I love the whole duo thingy...


I like this one better than the last one


God! this song is soooo adicting! I've been singing it nonstop....


If it sounds familiar to you is because you probably heard it in Moneyball.


The second best song of fun. after We Are Young.


This is such a great song....


More from The Kooks!


This is a great song to sing along with....

Well... I have more songs... but I think you agree with me that these are enough! haha
