Only 24 days till Xmas uh ohhhh

Yup, it's December 1st. I'm freaking out. Not only will it be my 10 month anniversary in Madrid next week, but also Christmas is 3 weeks! I have so much to do!! (buy presents) which I am not so good at. I got my grandmother a scarf so far.. how original is that. I'm going to spend Christmas in Bulgaria with my mom and my grandmother, possibly my cousins.. then back to Madrid for new years, and THEN England with Dannyfor a week! Hope it all turns out good, and no flights are cancelled.... what if it starts snowing soon :( I can not cope.

Much has happened in the past month.. Paula came to visit me again! This time with the boyfriend. Showed them around, did the tour etc etc. Palace, opera, templo de Debod, el Tigre... check check check. But THEN.. one night walking by Callao.. some big premiere was going on...aaand.. David Hasselhoff was there. Yea, you heard right. That was a pretty cool ending to our night ;) 

Rubbing shoulders with the A-list

Oh well, enough about me and the celebs.. Been looking for new jobs lately. New years resolution: have a new job by the end of January. I'll keep you posted on that ha. 

Quitting Spanish class from next week. I feel it's not worth the money just to learn grammar. It's great I've learned alot but it's time for me to actually speak it. I know so much grammar now I need to put in into words. Then I can finally say, hey.. yeah I do actually speak Spanish ;) 5 languages is not bad, eh?

Boating in sunny Retiro.. end of November!

New year, new things gotta happen! Pretty excited as of right now, happy at the moment. Let's see how things will be after I receive my Christmas presents, haha. Just joking. It'll be a great Christmas for me if there's NO SNOW. Snow is only allowed one day of the year. On Christmas eve. That's it.

XOXO

RAIN!

ARGH, it's been raining all afternoon it sucks!! Just got back from DK last night at around 2:30 AM, I just love it when I get less than 5 hours sleep..... Copenhagen was great, good to see family and friends and enjoy the long missed food. (My mom's, not the Danish food haha.) Only had about 3 days, spent most of them in bed with my new baby, my iPad. It's amazing what it can do! 

Anyways, even more exciting.. going to England on friday! Flying to Manchester friday morning and staying the weekend with Dannyboy. Gonna be good :) Excited for the English food now, I've heard so many great things.. 

Didn't take any pictures while back home, but I did bring back my big Nikon camera so I can take some nicer ones here in Madrid.

Wow, it just started raining even more. Awesome.

Finally fixed my laptop, stupid HP stopped working after just a year, so I deleted everything on it and now it's perfect again. I couldn't even watch a youtube video before! Hate it when electronics break when you're away from home haha - and your dad. Who can fix everything ;)

Nothing more to say this time..

XOXO

Dinamarca

Going to Copenhagen on saturday to visit mom and dad. It's been so long since I saw my dad, probably 5 months! I'm excited.. plus he'll fix my (shitty) laptop and phone so that's a bonusssss! Haha.

Today was probably my most depressing day in Madrid so far. Whoa. I stayed home the whole day, the weather was absolute SHIT, it hasn't stopped raining and the sky is gray gray gray!! :( In just a week we went from summer and 28 degrees to THIS! Only 15 today, and it was even 11 yesterday meh. It'll be nice to go home - to even worse weather - and eat my favourite food and sleep in my own big bed! And see my friends, and just do nothing for a few days..

Going to see Coldplay on Wednesday! That is huge! I've seen them once before live at Roskilde Festival and it was amazing.. so this time I'm expecting the same. The concert will be in Ventas, Plaza de Toros, which sounds awesome, I've never been! Hopefully it wont rain on us.....

Stupid stupid stupid rain.

I've been playing Angry Birds like a maniac for the past hour or so, I'm determined to get 3 stars in all levels haha. Only 288 levels.. no big deal. I'm excited by the thought of a new and FAST phone, this one is over 3 years old now and is only getting slower by the minute. Apple are so sneaky, they know exactly how to make you buy their newest shit haha. And I really really wants the new iPhone!! Let Christmas come early this year.

XOXO

Brrr!

A sad 19 degrees today, and yes that is cold. 8 months ago I would be ecstatic about anything above 10 degrees in October, but now.. eh. Stayed at home, under the covers for a good 3 hours I would say before I got up and.. wait for it!!! Decided to go for a run. Yes, really. Haha, I explored the far end of my street and found this cool area where you can walk/run whatever, surrounded by trees and burnt down grass(?) haha, it wasn't green, let's just say that. Anyways, felt good even though I'm probably gonna be sore tomorrow since I'm one hell of a lazy bastard who never moves her ass, and God forbid, excercises. Did 30mins of semi fast running, haha until I was out of breath because of my shitty asthma and sat on a playground to relax. I must have looked so professional haha, thankfully no one was around!

What else........Cagliari was awesome! Yes, I know it was 2 weeks ago but I haven't been blogging. Nice hotel, BEAUTIFUL beach (although too windy to get in the water, but wow it was pretty), amazing food - MOZARELLA - among other delicious things... aaaand what else.. Alcohol of course.. haha. Got so drunk the first night after a huge anti pasti dinner (italian tapas?), with homebrew wine LOL. Probably some of the strongest tasting white wine I've had.. which says alot. And we finished all that off with a massive plate of fruit, desert, aaaand some shots. Of course. All in all, perfect weekend, would definitely go back to Sardinia for the beach - amazing..

Need food now. Hungry. I've gained almost 4kg's here in Spain, which is not the problem, I'm just starting to feel gross. Wayy to much fast food, as there is never anything good OR HEALTHY in the house! And I can't eat rice and vegetables all the time, can I... Ate salad earlier, that's probably why I'm starving right now. I'm gonna have a Bounty bar.. yea..I can juuuust reach it, mmm.

XOXO

Yes, I take pictures of my food

I cook pretty food, it deserves to be shown off, haha. Alone in the house = too bored to cook real food, so instead I made an awesome salad. (I told you I'm being healthy now..)
Anyways, found something very unusual and interesting in the fridge! Blue cheese (yes, this is unusual as there is never real cheese in the fridge, only the gross individually packed square ones) from DENMARK! Whoa, they must have bought it just for me ;) So i decided to eat it...

Tomato, peach, green pepper, pear, green onions and blue cheese. It was surprisingly delicious. And I usually don't put fruit in my food but this just worked.

Either way, I'm gonna have dinner again later haha.. ITALY TOMORROW! Woo, I need to pack and I hate packing!! I always always always forget something really important or something I really need on the trip.. Just checked-in online, and OF COURSE my printer doesn't work haha. Just typical. Anyways the flight isn't until 1.30 tomorrow so I think I'll be okay. 

I'm starting to feel a little sad, I haven't been out at all this week! Well except for during the day, but that doesn't really count :P I've been staying in all week like a good girl! To be honest, it's been nice to get more than 4 hours sleep......started class 2 days ago too! Level 4.. so far, so good. Learning the future tense again but this time even MORE future tenses. The spanish language must be the only one of the ones I know, with sooooo many different tenses, both in the present, past, future, subjuctive (yea, wtf).. you name it... it's HARD I tell you! Whoever says spanish is easy as you just read it the way it's spelled, well shut up because you need wayyyy more skill than that to speak it!! I'm getting frustrated because I thought I was pretty good (well, to speak with children and waiters at restaurants LOL), but then when my teacher showed us all the new stuff I was a little shocked. Either way, poco a poco, voy a mejorar :) 

Yes.. I belive that.. haha, I hope you do too ;)

Vale, venga, hasta luego XOXO

Weekend comes, weekend goes

And FAST, that is! Said goodbye to Paula last night, 2 days went by so fast, but it was so good to see her again! I don't wanna mention how many times we went to McDonald's, it's embarrassing :( so to change it up, we went to VIPs last night and oh my, was it delicious.. we were too stuffed to get the pancakes and french toast as planned.. I'm drooling thinking of it right now..

Paulita attacking the croquetas

King size portions at VIPs

Went to sign up for classes once again, and the lady at the reception desk looked all confused and was like: "Eh, you wanna sign up for SPANISH? But you speak it!" - I'm gonna take that as a compliment ;) I speak it well enough to sign up for class, yeah, but I'm only half way through the levels! Gonna spanish it up from now on. My new goal is to be as close to fluent as possible by next year! I know it's not totally impossible :P But wish me luck..

Nothing new is going on really, kinda boring! Oh wait.. going to Italy on fridayyy! Almost forgot, going to Cagliari with Danny, can't start describing how excited I am for the pizza.. mmm.

Spain has got nothing on Italy in terms of pizza. Spanish pizza either comes frozen or microwaved or something semi-gross like that, and is not cheesy/saucy/tasty enough for me! Plus they just looove putting tuna as a topping, which is not really my favourite. 

Aaahh, it's gonna be amazing! Pizza, pasta, mozarella.. GELLATO :D hahaha, the best part is soo gonna be the food - not :) but probably 2nd best then....... 

Hasta pronto.. or ciao ;)

PS. Danny, I am obviously kidding x

Coming soon!

Paulita arrives on friday! I haven't seen her in 4 months! 

Some Taco Bell is gonna be consumed, I tell you...

XOXO
