Airports, And Stuff....

Hi guys,
I'm currently writing this from the airport, I'm flying to Cali right now. two thumbs up 

I'm taking time to write five expectation that I will have from this trip, I think that I will do this before every trip:

  1. I will learn how to paddle board (Hopefully)
  2. I will learn how to surf (Hopefully I don't break my face)
  3. Go swimming with sea lions 
  4. I will buy the chips ahoy that one of my friends asked me to buy
  5. I will finally tan a little
In about two weeks time i hope to have accomplished at least three of these.

Wish me luck...

Easter - Last Days Of Sun

As the title says, this are some of my last days of sunshine...
I have spent this last days in the beach with the family just catching up after a rather quick trip to Colombia. I like to think of this as a quick pit spot for 10 days before I go back to my fantasy.

I saw my cousin once again, and we did a quick photo session with my polaroid camera, (I'm just in love with it). We spent all day just relaxing, eating ice cream and pretty much unhealthy stuff.
These are some pictures of my saturday beach day...







This was my breakfast...
It consisted of mainly bread, 
CARBS EVERYWHERE!

My most entertaining day was easter sunday

I got have a really delicious and "nutritious" breakfast.

I also got to hide my little niece's chocolate eggs, (I hope that she doesn't read this, or else she will not believe in the easter bunny, and i would have ruined her childhood)

My family also got "healthy" & "nutritious"  chocolate croissants to celebrate easter sunday.

We got really delicious chocolates this year.

Little Chocolate bunnies!

Some of out chocolate bunnies actually melted on the ride to the beach house and we kind of had to cut them apart in order for us to be able to eat them. They were still delicious, obviously.

I kind of felt a little bad because I was cutting apart bunnies, but what could you do...

After eating all of our (somewhat melted) chocolates, we went back to the city to go and eat to an Italian restaurant. I got some of the best ravioli I ever had. I also discovered my love for garlic bread with mozzarella on top, YUMMY.

Then we went to do some home shopping, we needed to buy some foam things but we never found them.
While my mom was trying to find that, my sister and I found this beautiful flower. I WILL HAVE YOU ONE DAY.


We finished our day by going to the mall, and by closing our mouths by finally eating some delicious, and rather fattening, CINNAMON ROLLS!

Overall, it was quite an entertaining easter.

Travel Playlist

I just came back from rather short trip to Medellin, Colombia, and while i was there, my music playlist was shaken up a little. I believe that it has changed for the better, but I will let you make that decision.
This is my Medellin playlist...

  • Two Fingers - Jake Bugg 
  • Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul McCartney
  • Dazed & Confused - Led Zeppelin
  • Skinny Love - Bon Iver
  • Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall - Coldplay
  • Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - Elton John
  • De Musica Ligera - Soda Stereo
  • Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin
While I was there I also listened to new and different bands, but due to me being so absent minded I forgot the name of most of them, that happens quite a lot...

Those are some of the songs that I have been listening to ever since I got back,
Now I have to wait just a few more days till I am off to another place.

Adventures Ahead

I have been gone from my blog quite a long time, but it's because I just had to sort out a few things in my life for quite some time.
We all need a break sooner or later....

Right now I'm rather happy because in a few days I'll have the opportunity to start traveling once again to an (i think) much deserved break from reality.

These past few months have been rather hectic for me, from one shake up to another, I'm just trying to get up once again.

I have also been doing some serious netflix marathons, Almost Famous or Dazed and Confused anybody?

But, yeah, hopefully I'll be able to write all about my, hopefully, amazing adventures ahead.

Here are a few things that I have been doing while I disappeared

Hello again

HAPPY DECEMBER!!

During this week I will be uploading at least 3 blogs, one of them may be Christmas related...

So just bare with me for a little 
Thanks

Exams, Exams & More Exams

Recently I have been studying non-stop for my finals this year, specially for my maths and economics finals.

I have too much pressure on my shoulder right now, I'm juggling between planning a party, getting, at least, a 15 or more in my finals, dance rehearsals (did I forget to mention that I'm having a really important party that same day) three times a week, going to the gym every week day, having my chinese classes, and doing regular homework.

Stress, Stress, STRESS!

I would much rather like to be reading all day, and going out with my friends, literally ANYWHERE!
As a little push for me to succeed I said to myself while looking at the mirror, "Ok Marisa, you are going to pass all of these exams, and you are not going to have to worry about extra studying during your holidays, and you are going to treat yourself by going on a trip to somewhere nice, maybe buy cute shoes, dresses, more makeup, and go out a little more".

Obviously, I have a really short attention span, and just after a little more than 45 minutes of study, you can find me watching the all new season of project runway (in love with the designers, specially , watching some YouTube videos (specially Zoella, Beauty Crush, Miss Glamorazzi or Tanya Burr) or just lying in bed, looking at the ceiling, listening to some music.
I think I should really start paying more attention in my studies. (Started craving some frozen yogurt at this point)

These are the courses that I'm taking:
      • Spanish
      • English (Literature & Language)
      • Maths
      • P.E. (Theory)
      • Art (A FOUR HOUR EXAM! *yes i know that it is originally 8 hours)
      • Economics
      • Biology, Physics & Chemistry
They don't really seem like much, but when you have to study all of the subject that you have learned since March, it's quite a lot.

So, What is my study plan?
Everyday I get to go back home after my exams, so i have more than 12 or so hours to study.
What I will do is that by every hour or so of study I will have from 15- 20 minute breaks to watch a YouTube video, or see a little bit of TV, her some music, or read a little. I think that that is quite good. Today I'm going to try to finish most of my science studies, and I'll see what happens during my exams.

Who knows, maybe if i really study correctly you will see me writing some posts from NYC, LA, or maybe just some from what I have been doing with my summer (over here we have summer from January till March), obviously not studying.
Wish Me Luck... i need it
Bye ♥
