This one is about the amount of time I spend on TV shows

As a previous note to prove that I'm no newbie on TV shows, here's this post...

According to series.ly (a Spanish website that contains every TV shows that could ever exist) I am watching or have watched a total amount of 31 TV shows, which are already a lot, but not all of them are included due to watching some them on an actual TV instead of this particular website. 
Currently, there are 20 TV shows that I'm watching, and those are (in no particular order):

-Breaking Bad
-The Vampire Diaries
-Doctor Who
-Glee (not even sure why I keep bothering with this one)
-Game of Thrones
-Merlin
-My Mad Fat Diary
-New Girl
-One Tree Hill
-Pretty Little Liars
-Lost (re-watching this one because frickin' perfection)
-Polseres Vermelles (that's a Catalan show and it's as awesome as sad)
-Sherlock
-Supernatural
-Teen Wolf
-The Big Bang Theory
-Modern Family
-The Carrie Diaries
-The Originals
And finally
-The Walking Dead
And now, the ones I have already finished:
-The O.C.
-Rebelde (no shame, I don't even care anymore) (that's a Mexican show, by the way)
-Sex in the City
-Spartacus
-Misfits
-Jersey Shore (not sure that counts but I'm just stating what the web says)
-Heroes
-Gossip Girl
-Friends
-American Horror Story
And sadly now,
-How I met your mother

I'm sure, no matter who reads this, that each one of you has seen at least one of those TV shows because let's face it, they are all pretty awesome, or at least they used to be... (Sorry Glee).
Considering all the episodes from each show, you can tell there are a lot of hours involved, and some may think that I'm wasting a lot of my spare time in that bullshit, but that's because they don't know how enjoyable those shows are. They are either fun, or thrilling, or educational, or exciting, or all of the above. They all have something worth seeing, and they all teach me things. Not only my English is good because of them, but the lessons those particular characters experience are also influencing me and building my personality. Some episodes more than others, and some shows more than others too... There is no way you can compare an emotional episode from One Tree Hill where you learn life-values to an episode from New Girl where you just laugh your ass off and enjoy all the time it lasts. Either way, once I've finished watching those shows, I feel better in some way... It's kind of unaccountable, really.
I suppose all of this sounds very geeky to you, if you aren't really into TV shows and stuff like that, but I can assure you it's not a sad life, and I'm through getting crap from people over watching "way too many" shows and "wasting my life" to all that none-sense, but guess what, I don't care about what they think; I like watching them, I enjoy them, I have fun staying at home and catching up on them, so you can say whatever you please.

It may seem crazy, but I'll be fine "wasting my time".


What is your dream job?

I have loads of things to do, so of course I decide to leave it all behind and write on my shabby-ass blog. Last night was one of those nights where your head decides there are way too many interesting things to think about to fall asleep so it keeps you awake for as long as possible. I had time to re-evaluate all kinds of aspects about my life; from what items of clothing should I buy next to what kind of job would I like to work at when I'm older, and if I'm honest, I should've typed them down on my phone or something because I seem to have forgotten most of it.
I get the "what is your dream job" question quite frequently, and I never know what to say; I guess I'm that kind of people who hasn't figured their life out just yet, and I always end up saying "dunno, something related to English I guess, but not a teacher...", when actually my dream job, and I mean really really dreamy, to the point where it's almost impossible to achieve, would be being a successful blogger. But not any kind of blogger, of course. And I know there are plenty of awesome bloggers with way too better vocabulary and greater ability to express themselves (not saying any names but my dear friend Tania is quite awesome herself) but, as I said, I'm just daydreaming.
If I could decide what to do with my blog, it'd be writing reviews of TV shows, and movies, and books, and almost every little thing that has ever changed me, or made me think deeply to the point where I suddenly thought differently.
Charlie, from youtube channel charlieissocoollike, said on his The Films That Changed Me video, "movies, we all love them, we all watch them, and sometimes, they change our lives! mostly they don't... but sometimes they do! and here are some of the ones that did for me", and that, followed by a bunch of book-review videos on youtube, got me thinking that, if some people get successful blogs out of make-up reviews or comments on other videos, or any kind of elaborated opinion on something interesting, then why can't I try to do that too?
Of course it won't be easy, and I'm not looking for an actual job doing this; I don't even expect people to ever read me, but it's worth the try if what I will try doing is actually enjoyable for me, right? So, from now on, I will try to upload more often, and I will not only write about my stupid bed time thoughts, but also about things that changed me.

New school year resolutions (cause that's how I roll)

Since last summer, I wrote a list of twelve I wanted to do during a whole year. Some of them about studies, some of them about my personal life, mostly random things... But I'm happy to announce that I accomplished ten out of the twelve.
The two things that I missed were having my "first certificate" in English and redecorating my room. I'm not too annoyed by the first one because I've got into the English career in university so it kinda goes with it, and for the room thing... It's definitely going to be on my new list because I really want to change something. I like changes. I feel like when you change something you feel refreshed and excited and I want my room to be a nice pretty place where I can just lay down and get inspired, I want my room to be my motto, and get motivated just by being in it... Maybe some quotes, photos, memories or a different colour on my walls will be enough, we'll see.

Last night, during my bed time thoughts, I started thinking about my next list so basically what I'm going to do today is post it on the internet because that way I feel even more pressure to actually do all of them.

1. Travel 
Okay, that one was also on my last list but it's something I want to do at least every year if not several times a year because I enjoy visiting new places and mostly meeting new people. Even if it's just a stupid trip to a village near Barcelona or an actual awesome trip to China, I want to move out for a while and experiment new things during this year.

2. Not fail at anything in University 
I know this is a boring one but last year I typed "Pass college and get into Uni" and it worked so maybe I'm just looking for a bit of luck. Hopefully I will succeed because it's an important thing isn't it, my future!!!

3. Wear braces 
This one is also boring but I really want my face to get better and my teeth are a "must get better", I haven't wore them yet because I didn't have money enough but hopefully during this year I'll try to save some and pay myself for them or something. I just want to be pretty!!!!! You know!!!!

4. Change my look
Whether I change my hair, my clothes, my glasses or, hopefully, my teeth, I want to change something about me because as I said before I like changes, they get me excited... I definitely want to start soon with this one and get some new cool clothes to rock, but firstly I'll need some money so...

5. Get creative on Youtube 
Well, that's something I've always wanted to do but I'm so shy and worried about it I've never had the guts to try it. I hope Tania, Laura and I finally decide to try it. More news soon!!!!

6. Go to more concerts and meet more famous people
This is just exciting to me! And it was aaalso on my last list, but what can I do, it was so fun I want to do it all over again. I already have concert tickets for a cool-ass band such as Imagine Dragons so this one is going already well.

Sadly, I'm not going to post the other 6 things because they're half private half ridiculous, but if anyone is reading it and wants to collaborate and write down six things they want to do for the next school-year, just write them on the comments and I might want to do those things as well.
Hope your life is going well :)

Guilty pleasure, kinda

Normally I would apologize for not posting anything in so long but seen as I just have two peeps reading me if so and they're my friends, I think none of you would complain about me not writing... 
Anyway, I do feel bad for not saying anything because I feel like I missed the oportunity to write interesting thoughts I've been having during this whole summer and that now I can't remember, well done me!
Now that I'm already into it can I confess you a guilty pleasure?
First of all, and I'm so sorry for liking it, I couldn't enjoy more "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke. I know, I know, the meaning of the song is gross and stupid, the music video is a little obscene and womens are represented like plastic dolls, but I can't help it, every time it goes on the radio I feel like my brain goes off and I just sing out loud the whole song... Plus Robin's performance during the VMA's didn't quite help the fact that everything around that song is basically shit. 
The song also reminds me of something happy from when I heard it for the first time *winks at a none existent camera*

Anyway, I'll try to write more often but yes, it will always be as crap as this post 
Peace out

**Reason to be happy today, someone really cute simled randomly at me walking down the street

Hello friends!!!

Well, I would properly write a new post about fashion because lately I've been quite much into clothes and I have a couple of outfits I literally NEED to try on this summer but I am still studying (not for long, I finish my exams next week).
Until then, I'll leave you with a bit of my nerd passion for epic soundtracks with this great violinist named Jason Yang I discovered a few months ago on youtube


I am so addicted to this right now I even posted it on my facebook page, but I guess my school friends are to cool to even pay attention to it so nobody liked it... I'm happy about it though, I can call it "my secret" and I love having secret things I can fangirl over on my own.
I don't know if you understand that feeling.
Hope your life is less bored than mine right now, lots of love and I'll keep up posting next week.

Summer Resolutions

Okayyyy peeps, I know I haven't been posting much lately but my exams are pretty much keeping me busy all the time, I bet you can understand how I feel, we all felt this at some point of our life and I'm not expecting university to be any better.

Not going to talk much about my life nor thoughts I have in mind lately but about what I want to do this summer. Seeing as this "Summer 2013" is going to be -probably- one of the best ones in my life until now, I decided I will record and write (mostly record/film, will talk about that as well) everything that will be going on.
First of all, I need to do my selectivity exams, but after that the summer will have began and I will have time to do everything I want to.
I'm doing plans already, and me and my friends Tania and Laura are looking forward to do a pamper evening together (thanks for the tips about it Zoe) to take off our shoulders all the weight of our school-year (uni for them, I'm the youngest heehaw).
After that, I plan to see more my older friends, the ones I thought forgot about me but seem to be thrilling with the idea of seeing me more this summer so I'm up to it because I want to push myself into more sociable experiences. I will go to the beach, try to have fun, hang out in starbucks if I'm not too poor, go to the pool... That kind of summer-ish things, you know.

Then the great projects begin...
On the first of July, both Hannah and Grace, two friends I met through twitter who are the most awesome girls ever, will come to Barcelona and will stay in my house for ten days. I expect a bit of vlogging those days, if they let me, going through the most interesting places in here and just recording stuff to remember for years. 
I have always been into filming ever since my dad took his camera to Disneyland Paris the first time my sister and I went when we were 7 and 5 (she's two years older than me). I remember taking his big camera and trying to film everything that was going on. Right now you can still watch what I recorded and even though it's all blurry and I’m shacking most of the time, it's really fun and interesting to see what my 5 year old self was seeing and discovering.
I don't know yet if all those clips I am intending to do will be uploaded somewhere, maybe youtube, but I'm still trying to find out.
Then the 10th, Hannah, Grace and I will be heading to England, where I'll stay at Hannah's for eight more days. I don't know if I'll film much there because I don't want her family and friends to think I'm a weirdo.
After that, I think I will be working until August, when I will go to my mum's hometown for half month. 
I usually have lots of fun there, because the people is so chill, everyone's relaxed and I'm surrounded by pretty mountains and forests (which I love).

...I might have forgot to tell you that I will also be 18 the 16th of August, for what I'm expecting a big party and probably being drunk. 

Then days will pass by and during September, I should be already starting University **BUT** I am such a bad student and also such a hardcore fan and, as McFly is going to do a special gig celebrating their 10th anniversary in London, Tania, Laia and me are going there (!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED !!!!!!!!) for four/five days (haven't decided that yet), which will be something really cool and I'm so so so looking forward to film -if the girls let me, of course-. 

So, and going back to this post's title, my Summer Resolutions are to have fun, be more sociable, film stuff and of course make this summer the best one possible.

About "The Carrie Diaries"...


First of all, I feel like I should thank Tania for introducing me to this fantastic TV show, which in case you didn't know it's a spin off Sex in the City where Carrie, the main character, talks about her teenage years.
Usually, I fall in love (more like become obsessed) with a show when the story line is really entertaining and it keeps my mind busy from real life, whereas TCD makes me actually think about it and those thoughts are starting to be quite deep...
I'll explain myself, watching a show where a 15 year old girl who doesn't really know what to do with her life, starts creating her way up to the top in a city like Manhattan and lives her dream, makes me realize that even though it is a show, and it is fiction, trying hard some great things can happen to you.
My thoughts, also inspired by Zoella's Just Say Yes video, have become more interesting lately, and now I find myself dreaming about what kind of future I want for me and how do I get there instead of being worried by bands and famous people... which worryingly took most of my time.
After I'm done with my exams on June, I'll do a research for interesting things to do during the summer and I will also focus on the things I enjoy doing or having such as make up, clothes, fashion in general, writing and reading (which is something me and my other two close friends share, seen as the three of us created a blog where -in different ways- we try to succeed or just "find our voice" as the show constantly repeats)
After watching the first season in almost three days, I realized I wanted to find my voice, and I wanted to do something interesting and fascinating. Maybe "it" is not going to be my blog, I'm probably never becoming a writer, but as long as something creative comes up in my mind I'll keep this blog (and the few people that read it) in touch.
I hope all of you feel this inspired to do something at some point of your life, because I guarantee it feels refreshing and it gives you energy to try lots of new things.

Remember, just say yes, try new things, discover yourself, and once you like the person you've discovered, never let anyone change that and succeed with whatever you want (or at least try)



By the way, I recommend to everyone who is into girly things or cheesy shows such as Gossip Girl, to watch this show if you haven't yet. There's also a hot guy I am really in love with and Carrie's early-80's outfits are to die for.
