Sunday - my favorite!!

or NOT. Fiiiiiinally this long Sunday is coming to its end. If you think about it, it should have passed a bit faster than usually as the time went an hour forward today but noooooo. It didn't feel like that at all.

My weekend has included a lot of stomach aches and being pissed off for no reason. Yesterday I actually started to write a post but it's still unfinished (I will publish it when it's done, it's not about one actual day or anything so it doesn't matter if I don't get it done right now). Well yesterday I did a lot of laundry, cleaned up a bit and went to try my Valenbisi-card that I got on Friday. It was so nice to go cycling after a long time! People that passed by probably considered me as a retard or something because I had that foolish grin on my face as I realized how useful the whole bike system is. Now I can get everywhere so easily and quickly! I went to a shopping center that I hadn't visited before and it was nice. Have to go there again some day. I went around a bit and found a few shirts and two pairs of earrings. Then I drove back and came home after visiting Mercadona. So, nothing so special.

Today (i_hate_sundays.com), even less special. Stomach aches again, long shower, school stuff and I visited the only store that's open just because I just wanted to do something. The weather was better than good and now it's proved - it's officially summer, because I went out wearing just shorts, two tops and my favorite shoes (for the first time here) and I didn't feel cold (and I'm a person who's always feeling cold). The fact that I was able to wear my favorite shoes (in the pictures) cheered me up a bit. Later we had a Skype date with J.

So, this weekend has been quite boring but I must say that I wouldn't even have been able to do anything special - there were a few times when I almost passed out because of the pain in my stomach. So maybe it was just good to take it easy. A new week of school work ahead of me, and I have to say that I hope that the next two weeks will pass by as quickly as possible because then I'll see J (15 days left!!). We are both flying to Malaga on April 10th (Tuesday). I just can't wait anymore..........

Sunday (the last day) in Barcelona

L'Aquarium, the beach, Barri Gotic, la Sagrada Familia ...

 

Tomorrow: a 5-hour-journey back to Valencia, by train. BLAH.

Materialism - happiness?

Sunday. All the places are closed in here. The sky is cloudy (at the exact moment I wrote that it started to rain..). It's not warm outside. Boring day. I've never been a fan of Sundays, but in Finland at least some places are open. And in Finland Sunday was a good day to go to work. But here.. nothing.

So, as I'm bored and there isn't even school work I could do, I'm entertaining myself with my camera. It has been a good friend of mine here in Spain and absolutely one of the best things I've purchased lately (okay not so lately, I bought it before Christmas but you know what I mean).

Sometimes it just feels that materialism means happiness, and that's how I've felt today. Now I'm gonna introduce some stuff that I like or that can be found on my table. I didn't take pictures of some self-evident things - like Pepsi Max (here: Pepsi Light), MacBook, or my mobile + Angry Birds - as they are too obvious. Here we go. (Btw, it's not raining anymore.)

1. Nomination (a composable bracelet) - my precious

I feel weird without it. The only piece of jewelry that I wear everyday.

My special pieces: "Little My" from the Moomins -  Love - the row of figures with red "diamonds" and a four-leaf clover with clear "diamonds" (from J :-))

2. Different nail polishes

Those of you who know me in real life and have visited my Finnish home, know that I'm a nail polish addict. I left the majority of my nail polishes (there are more than twenty different ones) at home but I also took a few with me. And I've already bought a few new ones..

Kiko - top coat, Lumene - silver, the Body Shop - sparkling pink, Lumene - matte pink, Kiko - sparkling red, Maybelline - matte red, OPI - sparkling dark blue, Mavala - black oyster

the ones I chose to use today :-)

3. The Body Shop products

I had quite a many of these at home but I took just a few with me. Luckily I found the Body Shop store here too. My latest favorite scent is Coconut / Noix de Coco.

these two I bought just yesterday

4. Make up products

I put on some make up every day. In my opinion I don't use that much make up, except for the special occasions when I use a little more (and maybe in a different way).

the products I normally use everyday

Eye make up products for special situations (the eye shadow palette I bought just yesterday so I haven't tried it yet)

Usually I use just lip balm but if  want something more, I use lip gloss. I never use lipstick.

5. Earrings (and some other pieces of jewelry)

love love love. I really don't need so many pairs of them but I just like buying them. Well at least there's a variety to choose from :-D

my favorites at the moment

and the box of other jewelry

6. Perfumes

These are the only ones that I took with me from Finland:

Carolina Herrera - 212 Sexy, and the little ones: Lancôme - Miracle, Lancôme - Hypnôse

 I left two absolute favorites at home: Calvin Klein - Euphoria for Women (I was afraid of breaking it during the flights as I didn't have any suitable box for it) and Diesel - Fuel for Life (it was almost empty). I would like to buy a new perfume from here but I haven't yet decided which one it's gonna be. Suggestions?

7. Litterature

I suck at reading but  you can still find a few books on my table. It's been many years since I've finished one whole book but yesterday I began to read one and I think it's interesting enough for me to read it 'til the end!

Kira Poutanen - Rakkautta au lait (this is the one I began to read yesterday)

right.... looks interesting, don't you think?! that's the challenge I told you about. tough times ahead!

After all, this post wasn't as quick to do as I first thought! Well, at least this boring day has gone a bit faster as I've had something to do. But there are still many boring hours left.. blah.
