Summerholidays

Don't worry, bargayott is still involved with this blog! It's just that he's stuck somewhere in India, during monsoon and without internet access...

I had a look at the new collections for autumn and fall (in the magazines).
I like:
- DKNY
- Louis Vuitton
- Chloe
- Armani

It is strange, but I'm thinking of studying in Holland! Don't know why! Do you think it is bad to study in a country where you don't speak the local language? (at the uni everything of course would be in English)

OMG I can't believe the summer holidays are already half way through!

I'm sending you all a lot of strawberry-frappuccino kisses,

My three favourite male movie characters right now (constantly changing):

Rocco in Rocco e i suoi fratelli.

Harmonica in Once Upon a Time in the West.

Marcel in Belle de Jour.

Do they have anything in common?

Little Pleasures in Rome

The summer holidays have arrived - finally!

In between frantic packing for my flight tomorrow morning to India I found the time to quickly post this. I just arrived from a dinner party at a friend's house, and on my way back the i realised the following:

We need to learn to appreciate the small, little pleasures in life. Too many people, especially here in Switzerland, take for granted their daily pleasures such as the morning coffee at Starbucks, or the the perfect timing of the public transport. I believe a major cause for depression is the un-appreciation of day-to-day pleasures that are taken for granted!

The picture above was taken by me in Rome, a couple weeks ago. After a hot sweaty afternoon, carrying around our rucksacks and exploring the city, me and my friends discovered this amazing gelateria hidden away in a sidestreet. It had the most mouth-watering flavours you can imagine and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Now for the locals, this place was normal and taken for granted, for us though, it was like heaven.

Think about that next time you eat an ice-cream at Mövenpick. Learn to appreciate! Rejoice in the minute details of life that make you happy!

You will soon realise that the small pleasures are what make life worth living.

Summer holidays are two days away and even though we don't have to clean out the lockers, the pic above made me a little sad. I just finished watching the first season of Beverly Hills 90210 (the old one, from the 90ies) (love the clothes, yes J. ;-) ) and the high school there is exactly a place where one could find secret love notes in the locker. Well, in every other fictive high school as well. Not in our. One year left and then I will never be able to watch high school flicks, as I just won't be interested and I just couldn't relate to it anymore. Isn't it sad? So many movies, series, songs, books are inspired by the period of life I'm still experiencing and then, just in one year this "period" will be gone for ever!

To everyone who's still in high school: Please, make this place a little more like a bad teeny flick! Write secret love notes! Do a prom (or go to the "Rämiball" ;-) ) ! Don't dress yourself so grown up! Gossip! Decorate your locker with pictures of movie stars (girls) or with hot babes (boys)! Try out playing in a band! Have a summer job! Write things on the desk! And sing "I love you baby" like Heath Ledger in 10 Things I Hate About You in front of the whole school, just to prove your love! Hey, make it seem like a soap opera and you will always have funny memories you can tell your grandchildren!

We are two friends.

We sit next to each other at school.

We talk to each other about things we cannot discuss with anyone else.

This is how it all started.

Let us see where this journey takes us.
