Flying to Beijing

Hello!

Today I am not writing this post in my home...

 

Where am I?

I am in Zurich. Today I will arrive to Bejing

 (well is 27th August Beijing's time when I arrive, but 26 in Europe)

 

And why? As you know I study chinese at University and during the last academic year I decided live this experience. It was really hard to take the decision but finally I did it.

My friends and my family trust in me and they are sure

 I am going to learn a lot and enjoy the experince.

 

Is my first time in China, my first time living without my family, without my friends... is a totally new experince for me.

I feel happy recently and I think I will have really nice moments in Beijing.

Peking University is my uni there and I know I can do it :)

 

Still I don't know if I could connect to blogger from there. Maybe...

If it is possible I will upload photos and tell you some news.

If is not...my blog will dye T.T  during almost one year hahaha 

 

I know that during this summer I haven't upload any entry (although I have alot of things to tell you because I was in Madrid with my sister and walking in Camino de Santiago w ith my father), but I was enjoying every minute with my family and friends :)

 I hope you understand me!

It was an special experience hahaha I like do these kind of jobs. 

My role was "manga girl". Yes a girl who likes manga and football.... OK. the idea of the director was really peculiar. I still don't know when it will be showed >.< 

Maybe I am going to work in another job similar to that one, but for now is only a project. 

OMG, I have more thing to tell you. I have to make an effort these days and upload more news soon!

Tea Party

Hello! 

My summer holidays started this week :) I am happy *-* 

Well, last saturday I haven't finished the exams yet, but I met Sarah and Ida. 

Long time passed since we don't meet Ida >.< 

We went to a japanese restaurant that is very famous because is the first specializing in ramen. 

It is very small and we had to wait even before the time of opening. 

I didn't want ramen, so I ate onigiri. It was my first onigiri! ^-^ 

and as I suposed, I like it

Then, Sarah and I joined into a Tea Party in Madame Chocolat 

shop to celebrate de International Lolita Day. 

We ate some cupcakes and cookies. The Tea Party topic was Alice in Wonderland, 

thats because the room was decorated following the styele of the story

 and the cookies had rabbit, keys, teapot shappes.

That day the weather was really hot... but without any cloud we could took really nice photos. 

Sarah wore an Angelic Pretty dress and I wore a new one which I bought in Zara. 

I loved it at first sight and my mum said it was made for me. I couldn't resist and finally bought it. 

I also wore an Angelic Pretty cardigan ^^ 

Do you like my coordinate? I like mix styles 

We participated playing a game: the Lolita trivial. 

We won some points answering lolita and japanese fashion questions. 

Then, we exchanged points in to shop kawaii items. I think the owner had a really nice idea organizing that game and the event :) 

More photos next time...

Rosary

this is a present that my parents bought to me in Burgos. They traveled together last Easter 

and my sister and I stay alone at home :) 

I like rosaries and I am thinking on collect them, like my grandma do.

Well, I don't have special new to tell you~~ sorry T.T 

but... 

I upload a pic I took 2 weeks ago before go out 

Remember that you can see the photo in my Instagram account (marinaichi) 

Happy Sunday! I have to study hard for exams and then I will be free *-*

Bubble Tea

Few weeks ago I went to Barcelona with Sarah. 

Although the rainy day (oh! >.< I hate it!!!) we spend the day together and had fun :D

Here we are drinking Bubble Tea! Is the first time I drink one ^^ I like it but I couldn't end all 

because it was so sweet and we  went to Bobibar just after end lunch at japanese restaurant.

This is the first photo we took that day. We saw a classmate there (in McDonalds hahaha) because he was with japanese exchange students practicing for Japanese speech contest

I like go to Barcelona, you know... but now we are too busy. So, I hope we can go again after final exams.

Have a nice weekend!!!

Sant Jordi

Sant Jordi, on 23th April, is one of the most important days in Barcelona (and all Catalonia) and it  is based in Saint George legend. 

That day I was in Barcelona with two chinese friends, who enjooyed the festivity for first time. 

We took a  lot of photos like this:

The day is also called "the day of the rose and the book", for this reason, the tradition consist in: 

- boys give roses to girls (the color of the rose doesn't matter, annd now there are many types)

- girls give books to the boys

But some people receive both :) 

My sister bought a book for me and my friends gave me a multicolor rose! (Like the first photo)

I was very happy ^^ Moreover we could see a lot of celebrities signing his books. 

Montserrat

Few weeks ago some friends and I went to the mountain. Montserrat is a famous place near Barcelona. 

There is a sanctuary.  

More info here !!!! (click : D )

We put a candly to make a wish ^^ A lot of people do it! Is very common 

The weather that day was perfect,  as the "weather predicction man" says, it is a "high definition" day. 

We could see Pyrenees from Montserrat *-* absolutely amazing!

Our picnic :) People get shocked when saw our dishes and the nice display hahaha

Even the cat came to taste the meal ^-^ cute~~ 

F A S H I O N

My hand :) 

I loved the result of my nails. The colors are cute, like my new skirt with floral print. 

I bought it in Bershka and is only 6€. 

But I took the pic to show you my bracelet. I have a lot of bracelets and I like all of them 

but I think this is my favourite one. 

I bought it last summer when I was in Zaragoza with my family. 

The little bracelet is from Zaragoza too and I like it because is small and my wrist is thin >.<

The pink one is a present by Sarah ^^ I told you few post ago. 

And the white one... actually is a kids necklace from H&M hahaha

The same day I bought the skirt my mum also bought this nail stickers at Claire's for me. 

Since long time ago I wanted these stickers because I like the design :) 

 I will show you the result when I use the stickers. 

We also went to a shop (Bijou Brigitte) because all was discounted... Although is a popular shop apparently is not the case in my city and it will close down. I am not sad because I don't like that brand too much... I don't use to buy there but that time I bought one thing... this hairband for 1€! 

Today I bought a shirt too but I will show you in alater post.

Nice weekend! 

Cupcakes

Today I have cute photos which show you some cupcakes :) 

My sister had the idea of a new flavor: passion fruit. She told to the pastry chef for a competition but my sister didn't win... But the chhef thought the ideas was really nice and this weekend she cooked the cupcakes. The chef also cooked more cupcakes which taste like gum lollipops. 

The two kinds were delicious!!!

This summer my sister cooked this cupcakes and added butter cream. 

The result was good enough because was the first time she did it. 

Now cupcakes are in and there is a lot of new places where we can buy these kind of sweets. 

Sometimes I prefer see the cakes because look like artwork... culinary art maybe hahaha

La Mona

Hello! 

How are you? Recently I feel really nice and I hope I could feel like this for a long time :)

I have told you my Easter! Well, today I am going to show you the cake my sister and I cooked. 

In Catalonia is typical eat chocolate eggs and a cake called "mona". 

We saw the cakes on bakeries and we thought we could made a better one. Of course, we did it. See it: 

What do you think? My sister made this cute rabbit :) 

And I made the eggs with chocolate. How? I blowed up ballons and covered with melted chcocolate. 

While the chocolate was melted I decorated each one and  later I hanged the eggs from a thread.

Inside the cake we put jam. 

The cake was a surprise for my parents due they was traveling and arrived that day. 

My mum was very happy! hahaha

We enjoyed it with my cousins and my aunt. She was my godmother so the tradition is that she gives to me the cake. But I am not a child so since few years ago my sister is who made the cake.

to myself

I am thinking. 

I am thinking all the day and my brain can't relax. 

I am stressed. 

Moreover I don't have strength enough to make what I have to do.

Not only homework, but also be happy in a party or go out without worry... 

Enjoy life, that is what I should learn. I envy people who can value the daily small details. 

I have to change my thinking. 

I need be more self-confidence to do it.  

If I couldn't achieve this target, one of my dreams wouldn't realise (maybe the most important goal). 

I have the opportunity but I feel it wouldn't come true... the future is uncertain.

I want stability in my life...

without fear...
