Summer. XIII

Right now, we are in Madrid.
Yes. We.
Livia came with us to Madrid.
I was really excited, we were going to have an awesome time. And we are having it!

Yesterday we went to Madrid City, we walked all around the touristic places. Livia enjoyed it very much. I did it too. I like being like a city guide. It's funny and amusing.

Between Sevilla and Banco de España. 

We went to the Museo del Prado, walked along Paseo del Prado, through Neptuno and Cibeles, until Banco de España. Then we went to Puerta del Sol, and stepped the  "Kilómetro 0", where all the spanish radial roads start.

Livia's feet (left) and mines (right). Sorry for having ugly toes.

We went to the Plaza Mayor and had a "bocadillo de calamares", in english, battered squids sandwich. Typical from Madrid. It sounds disgusting, but is one of the best meals ever. I swear.

After lunch we walked a bit and got a bit lost. We took a bus to Plaza de España and walked along the Gran Vía.
We went up to the 9th floor of a mall called El Corte Inglés in Callao. There are some restaurants and shops. The views are awesome.
Gran Via view from that place.

We also went to Fuencarral, and Plaza del Dos de Mayo, to have kinda spanish milkshake called horchata. Loevely.
The we went to the Retiro Park to have a nap.

That's all. It was a busy day. I loved it. If you come to Spain anytime, I could show the city. You would be lucky ;) .



Summer. XII

This is it, like my bff says. Not for summer, almost. For Comillas.
I had a wonderful time there. Sometimes I felt sad, and homesick. I told you.
But, God, it was much better than last summer. And next time is gonna be better. I swear.
The evening before leaving Comillas, Livia and I went to the square to have an ice cream. Hazelnut flavor, as always. Delicious, as always.
Livia chose mint and blackberry. Absolutely awesome.

Hazelnut wins.

After dinner we went to a club (well, I should say "the club", 'cause we always go to the same one) and danced, and have a lot of fun, yo' know what I mean ;) .

Before going there, Yokin, Livia's cousin, filled some water balloons with water, and painted some funny faces on each one.
Yokin's balloons.
I really love all Lamadrid family. They are such incredible people.

Summer. X

I'm in Comillas. In this fucking village. I get really bored. Really, really bored.
I'm a city girl, I need to have lots of places to go, lots of options and things to do. And being able to do it by myself. Here, if you want to go somewhere, you need a car. Of course, I'm fifteen years old and I can't drive.
An example. I need new trousers but I can't buy any here because there's no shops, no nothing. The nearest Zara is 30min by car. My mother says that I can buy some trousers here, in the village. Well, yes, I could. But not jeans. And I don't mind having other kind of trousers, I don't care. But I have nothing to wear with a color trousers or these kind of huge indian ones. I love that kind. But, holy shit. I'm not buying that kind because I'm not wearing it here.
Having dinner at the port.

My hair.



I also have to read a shitty book.
I'm glad that I'm leaving in less than ten days.
I really love everyone here, but it's terribly boring. It's rainy, and cloudy and cold and shit. We can't even go to the beach, for crying out loud.
I think I will go to buy some stuff to make some bracelets or something.

I don't have really cool pics to share. I'll post some random ones.

Summer. XI

These days ago I was feeling really bad, sad, depressed. I didn't really know why. Perhaps because I feel homesick and too young. Perhaps I miss my city and my friends.
I used to want to cry at every time. For no reason. Most of the times I did it.
Yesterday I was trying to read a book about emotions and stuff. A really good one. But it made me feel sad and tired. And asdfghjkl.
But I talked with Livia and she made me feel better. She always does it.
Later I went with Jimena and Paula (Livia's sister, God, I do have to write about this family relationships, it's a complete mess) for a walk and we talked about lots of things. I talked them about my bulimia stuff and I made feel much better. Those three girls are absolutely awesome. Such a wonderful people.
Me.

My gorgeous sister.



Jimena, being terribly happy.


Paula's tumblr hair, and Jimena being a pro fotographer.

Paula, as beautiful as always.
I'm not reading my shitty book.
But I'm feeling better, much much better. Thank you, Lamadrid girls.
I'm homesick, but I'm surviving.
By the way, Livia is coming to Madrid with us!!! I'm really really excited about that!

Summer. IX


Yesterday we woke up at 12:30 in the morning. We were worried about getting grounded, but luckily I didn't.
At the evening we went to the beach and sunbathed. The sea water is terribly cold and I will never go for a swim in there. Never, I swear.


My bikini is so perfect.

This is how Cantabric beaches look like. Such a lovely place.

Livia and I tuesday night.

Summer. VIII

On tuesday we stayed all morning lying on the bed and doing nothing. Lazy tuesday, I guess.

At evening we went to this karts stuff. I guess you guys know what it is about. They are small cars that you cant drive also without having a driving licence. It's pretty cool.
At the begging I was super scared and I didn't want to drive. Finally, I don't know how, I went on one of those awful karts and drove. It was fun, I'll have to tell.
Girls in the car.

The circuit.

After the first night here I began to feel better and more confident. Monday night something really cute and lovely happened. We were introducing some guys and stuff and Jimena said “This is Livia, my cousin.” And then I asked Jimena “Soo, what am I?” and she said “My sister!”. I felt like, you know, like “in the family”. I felt, inside.

So, It's nothing much to tell.

We all together.

Summer. VII


So, here I am again.
Now I am in Comillas, Cantabria, in the north of Spain. It is quite cold and rainy. Pf. I hate it. However, I'm at my mother's boyfriend's house with all his family. They are lots of people! It's full of teens and it's pretty fun. Livia is one of Claudio's nieces (Claudio is my mother's boyfriend, by the way). Livia is fifteen years old like me. She's tall, blonde, blue eyes. Absolutely beautiful! I really like her, she's funny and kind, such a lovely girl. She has two older sister who look exactly like her. I am also with Jimena, Claudio's daughter. She's almost seventeen. Omg, she is soooo pretty and slim. Like all the teenagers girls here. That's one of the things that make me feel scared and unconfident when I was coming to Comillas. Because I see all of them completely perfect and blonde and beautiful and slim and, well. I feel like I am not. I feel... I don't feel fat, that is something wonderful, I'm not 'angry' with my body. I just feel kinda ugly sometimes. But then I look at my reflection on the mirror, put some red lipstick on and smile like I'm being absolutely happy. And, in part, I'm.

Livia.
Livia's perfect blonde hair. I'm totally in love with it.

Yesterday we went to the cinema and we watched quite a good movie. I really enjoyed it. I had some black liquorice (my absolutely favorite sweet) and M&M's. Completely delicious.
The movie's name is Now You See Me. Jesse Eisenberg is in the movie, and I am absolutely in love with him. The movie is about some illusionists who pull of bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money. It's pretty cool. I recommend it to you, guys.
yummy.



At night we went to a club to dance and have some drinks and fun. We had a good time.
