Saturday facts

1. Half day at the beach is fun. Even if the company you're with isn't

2. I have a flat stomach by not eating for half a day. Imagine what a good old "starving" would do. (more holidays coming up, I must look better than that)

3. I don't know why but my wavy hair brings all the boys to the yard -I see Keli's Milkshake point now :p

4. I DON'T LIKE MY WAVY HAIR

5. I must start studying

6. I may go broke soon- my eyes demand some Ray Ban Clubmasters (if I could have them in black/silver instead of black/gold, please) and I'm "Saving for later" on Asos like crazy

7. I must start studying

8. My tan is getting serious 

9. I realised I'm addicted to chaos. Silence irritates me

10. I don't want to start studying

Interesting look.

Come to the Dark side

As my mood swings drive me and everyone around me mad, here I am on a lab free Friday. I also got Monday off cause my sister is coming on Sunday and I'd love to wake up and have a nice breakfast at sea with her, rather than running to the bus stop at 9 in the morning.

So sweet Peridot, with all her lovely comments, insisted I should get away with not going to the lab if it's not mandatory. And then it hit me. I haven't really explained what I'm doing this summer, have I?
I took this three months course last semester, where you can pick a lab and spend time getting experience. When the time is up, you write a little essay, give it to your lab supervisor and he gives you a grade. It's like a class of your choice. Funny thing is that I chose to work on the development of the fish without caring about taking it as an actual class. Voluntarily, some might say. But when it came to tell me exactly what my job would be, I got a little more interested and decided to do the whole job and not only what I would manage in a three month time. So I figured (thank God) I should also get a mark on that (it was a 10/10!).
That's what I am doing here, finishing this project I started up on late February and getting the chance to co-write a paper (very important thing in the science world- especially for an undergrad).

In other news, I'm thinking about a makeover. I mean my style, as some of you can tell, is changing a little bit. I'm cutting out all the cuteness and I'm putting statement pieces, basic shirts and plain cut lines. But I'm also thinking about changing my hair. So my hair: it's really a love/hate thing. I really love it to be one colour but with the sun and the meetings at the salon it has now over three colours. Light brown (my natural colour), some bronze highlights (at the salon) and well, blonde shades of the sunlight. I decided -against all odds- to dye(?) them. Dark brown. I'm terrified and I will definitely ask my hairdresser first but I want them to look like in the picture down below. For winter. At least.

this is the prettiest Urban Outfitters model I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot. No joke.

Irritable. Kind of.

Just stopping to let you know I'm okay. These days have been so blah, no amount of sale shopping can make it right, apparently. Yesterday, trying to make everything better, I had a ben n jerries ice cream, did some flirting with a guy I know we have already met somewhere (and I think he did too) but I can't remember when or where and I bought a shirt and a bra on Intimissimi sale.

But this blah mood is still following me, and I think today I figured it all out. I want less stress on my summer, less lab hours, I want to go to the beach which is literally half an hour away. I also want my friends back.
Anyway, I believe I will cheer up this weekend because my sister's coming for holidays! Oh, I've missed her so much!! We're going to rent a car, have drinks, get tan, everything!!

But until then, it's lab lab lab.
Lab.

this is me on a daily basis.

release the Kraken!

The 700

Are we really that many?!
I really want to thank you guys (well, girls, mostly) for these past years. It's very nice to know that somebody's reading what you write and maybe even comments on it. I'm not going to lie, taking some of your time to write a comment has always a big influence on me and makes me happy. You made me smile, laugh, think, made me feel special when no one around me was willing/able to. I really would like to thank you about that. There are even some of you who I will always have a special part on my heart for. You know who you are :)
The new ones, all I can say is that I'll try and get to know you and please leave any questions down below, if there are any. Note though that this is not a pro-ana blog (cause I've been listed as such in the past) and I cannot give you any "tips" for it. Please and thank you.


Moving on to the actual post, working at that place yesterday was kinda boring but also fun. I'm doing it again soon. My eating has been really low this weekend, probably because I got my period so I've been feeling bloated the whole time. I spent Sunday catching up on season 4 of How I Met Your Mother. Interesting, huh?
I also went on Asos.com and wandered around sale items. I chose this, they should match my rose gold Michael Kors watch (3 posts below) so I can't wait!! It also has an extra 10% off so I got them for 9.95 which is sweet. Then I went a little crazy and bought one pair of leggings and a winter kimono as well. I know, I know, I shouldn't have, with all the Milan expenses and everything but they were too cute to resist..

I can't wait for them to come !!
although they're a little bit winter-ish :p

they look interesting, don't they?

Well, fuck.

Today is one of these days when everything seems black. I couldn't sleep (again) last night, and today was the ugly consequence of that. Irritated, bored, sleepy and just not in the mood. For anything.

On top of that I got the usb stick with Milan photos. Lots of them. It was nice to see all the cool places and the smiley faces, but I couldn't help but notice (and judge) my body on all of them. My god, who is this round person? My arms look bigger than ever and my cheeks are so full it looks like I'm gonna blow up. Yes, I maybe judged too hard but honestly, I must do something about this.
Summer isn't over, holidays are not over and I can't stay that way.

I will start recording my eating and weight daily here. There's no other way.
In other news, tomorrow I'm working for five hours at a children's theme park. I hope I don't strangle any of them! It will be nice to stay away from food half the day.
