Last day of school ♥ 

E’ dall’inizio che aspettavo questo giorno… che desideravo la libertà.. Ma adesso che è finita, mi manca andare a scuola, fare il laboratorio.. rompermi le scatole.. ma soprattutto mi manca stare con i miei amici.


Unwind along the beach after a long week. 3 more exams and I can finally say, school’s over.


Cette Semaine

I started the month right with a pilgrimage plus a picnic with family and friends. I always hear Padre Pio’s name but I never knew his story.. I watched a movie about his life and I was very touched. He’s an example of a man who suffered physically and morally yet he didn’t give up.

1. Padre Pio’s house
2. Neapolitan Christmas Nativity
3. A  cute shop at Petrelcina
4. Pietrelcina Church
5. A step in the right direction.
6. Barbecue  
7. St. Lucy Church


1. Bresaola in a bed of rucola with tomatoes, parmesan and corn kernels ; Strawberry Tiramisù — Desert during the visit of our city mayor.
2. Exams next month! Yay! — [This month actually ] I’m not reaady yet. ; City mayor with our school authorities. I don’t even know the reason why he paid a visit. 
3. My CYN family — We celebrated the anniversary last august 15 and it was fun.
4. Main Building — After 6 months we came back to our main building. Despite the wrecked ceilings and about-to-collapse walls, I still love staying there because of the view.


Ce Mois Ci
February - March  
I know this is too late but I’ll post it anyway… 

  • Love month — I was lucky to have someone to spend Valentine’s day with.. Plus suprise chocolates and flowers a “romantic” lunch too. I couldn’t ask for more ♥
  • My classmates — Silvana, Annalisa and Antonio
  • School — Reviewing for an oral exam u_u

Ce Mois Ci

  • Could this be a good start? — Too many unexpected things happened on the first week of this year. Who knows how it will end?
  • I got my moleskin back <3
  • Quality time with friends. 

Cette Semaine (or should I say ce mois-ci?) V

To sum it up, the holidays for me were nothing special. They were ordinary days spent alone because I had to work.. Here are some photos I can share to you.

1. One of the 9 cats at Posillipo.  For me it’s the cutest.
2-3. December 23 dawn at Posillipo. Don’t you just love it?

I made this cake last Christmas since I celebrated alone.. I’m planning to post a photo set on how I made it. :D

Some of my Christmas photos :D

Had a walk with Silvanna on the 26th. All of the shops were closed. Good thing a café was open at Vomero.. And look at what I’ve found… A lomo camera.. I just fell in love with it but priorities first.. I wanna buy too many things.. But the problem is I don’t have money $_$.

While I made the forever alone cake on Christmas, on New Year’s eve, I made Tartelette. I. Think. I. Should. Cook. More. Often.


Cette Semaine (or should I say ce mois-ci?) IV

I lost got my phone stolen yesterday. So, apparently I only have these photos to share. 

I’ve bought this plushie last week. I also bought myself some gifts.

I attended 2 Christmas parties this week. Can you spot me on the last 2 photos above?

I missed the feel of the keys on my fingers. 

I’m reading this book. Who knows when I’m gonna finish it.  It is actually a story of Momo, a young boy, who tells the story of his life when living with Madame Rosa and the love that he feels for the mother that she has become. 

A cropped photo mia.  A smile is always an aftermath of another smile.

                           


Cette Semaine (or should I say ce mois-ci?) III

November was indeed a tough month for me. A chapter of my book of love has been ended suddenly, from its climax to resolution without its falling action, without a warning nor a sign. 

My world collapsed and was shattered into pieces. I didn’t know how I could make it whole again. All my hopes were down the drain. Nonetheless, little by little, it started to revolve again. I have no idea how I made it. Maybe life’s like that. You need get by no matter what life brings you.

11.08.11 — Pontile di Bagnoli

11.27.11 — First paid work :)

11.30.11 — Le cose che spesso si dicono a scuola.

12.03.11 — 1 month has passed, I guess it calls for a celebration? Happly Holidays! :)

                       


Cette Semaine..

10.16.11 — All went well. I went to his house to meet his parents so we can go all together at the airport.  We waited for half an hour for the plane to arrive and land. I was so anxious, I could feel and hear the pounding of my heart like how it beat the first time we kissed.  I couldn’t explain how it felt when I saw him walking towards me. It was like a slow motion part of a movie.  I took dinner at their house. It was so awkward because all of them were concentrated at the TV, while I was concentrated with my food. I bet you know what “we” were watching.. Yes! It’s Soccer. He gave me the necklace above, btw. 

  • (1) — We (classmates) are starting to get close to each other. Almost all of us take the metro and while we wait for the train, we get to talk and joke with each other.
  • (2) — Math professor with my classmate, Antonio.

Globo Pop — Silvana’s giant lollipop XD

10.23.11 — I was so mad cuz “certain people” just don’t listen to me.  Instead of going out with “them” today, I went to Traiano with Silvana to watch a soccer match. I tasted some Peruvian cuisine. Just thinking about it makes me hungry!

  • 10.24.11 — We started our laboratory. For me it wasn’t that good. :|
  • Look at my pasaway classmate’s “working shoes”. 
  • Stolen photo of my classmates at the bar, taking their coffee.
  • The view from our classroom

The photo speaks for itself. Should we call it vandalism? Anyway, while waiting for the dismissal time, I was bored  so I wrote some inspirational phrases on the pamphlets at the reception. Cool ayt?

                     


Cette Semaine..

I’ve been browsing some photo folders and bumped with these 2 month old photos. Now I regret cutting my hair. I miss my long hair.

This is what I do at school when I’m bored. I drew Silvana, my classmate, but it turns out I’ve drawn another person (but I won’t tell who). The one on the right was drawn by our friend Antonio. I never thought he was that good. 

About school, we haven’t started our laboratory yet. Hopefully we’ll have our first one at 24. I am expecting a stressful year as the director said we’ll have 2 consecutive laboratory days and 3 consecutive lecture days. I can’t (don’t wanna) imagine those three days of Italian, History, Nutrition, French, Math, Economy lessons.  

Look at how I ruined his sweetness. He said:

Amore (Love) how are you? Is everything okay? What are you doing?  I’m listening to “I Miss You” by the Lighthouse and I completely and untiringly think of you. I miss you so much! <3 I can’t wait to hug you again.

I replied,

Do they have a song “I Miss You?” o.O

But anyway, tomorrow’s the awaited day. I and his parents are going to the airport to fetch him. I can’t waaaaaaaait..

                              


Cette Semaine (or should I say ce mois-ci?) II

This is an annoying post.

2nd week of September

Things to do (before school starts..)

  • Push through with that “plan” (Do I have the guts?)
  • Buy a graphic tablet (Will I ever use it?)
  • Buy notebooks (Obligatory)
  • New pair of glasses (been planning since last year hahahha!)
  • New lens & flash (Do i have enough budget?)
  • Fix closet (Obligatory)
  • Photo Wall (♥)
  • Revamp my room (Do I have enough time and energy?xD)

The school has already started and I only managed to do 3 things. It’s understandable that the tablet, lens and flash are impossible to achieve for now. $_$

3rd week

I finally had a copy of his sister’s wedding. Some photos made me laugh :))



I’m learning how to crochet (without patterns.. I go bananas with them.)

4th week

This explains the photo above.

Last September meal together. (September 25, 2011)  He went to Spain for study purposes. He’ll be back on the 16th.

School. School. School. 

DIY: How to Destroy your Shoes. Get a pair of shoes and a permanent marker. Believe in your scarce creativity. Voila!


I discovered an imitation of the famous Pilot Frixion (€ 3,00) named Mida Erasable (€1,50). Apparently the latter is more neat BUT I will never buy again. HAHA! It’s neater ‘cause I can even erase it with my fingers.. Imagine if I use it in a test. I might end up with a failing grade!


Cette Semaine (or should I say ce mois-ci?)

I’ve been really uninspired lately, so no cette semaine posts for almost 3 weeks.. 

I’m getting addicted to espresso. I don’t only use a small teacup, I use mug! *_*  I don’t also use a coaster. I use my notebook. :))

08.24.11 — Mom’s 49th birthday. I made her a pizza with 4 flavors ^_^

08.28.11 Mom’s birthday celebration. Since he was out of town, I felt bored and alone. So to kill the boredom, I took some photos of my zio’s plants. I didn’t know my Nokia can capture photos like these.

My last week here at Posillipo. :( Bye summer, hello school. Oh God! I’m not ready yet.

Binoculars + Phone Camera = Voila!

                        


  1. Mortadella Roll — Always ready whenever I’m attacked by laziness :))
  2. August 4 — I celebrated my birthday at a Chinese resto with my boyfriend, his sister and her husband. After ordering the appetizers, main and 2nd course, I asked them if they’d like any dessert. I wanted to try the rice cake but they said no dessert for that time. Since they refused, I’d feel bad eating a cake alone. After we finished our meal, I was so full and I felt so tired. I closed my eyes as I leaned on his shoulder. However, I noticed that the lights were suddenly turned off so I said, “Goodnight!” After a while, I heard them say, “Auguri!” When I opened my eyes, I saw a cake in front of me with my age carved on the candles. I thanked the waitress who brought it, made a wish, and blew the candles..  My boyfriend complained, “Why do you thank the waitress and not the one who bought the cake and planned everything?” I burst out laughing and then thanked him. That was the best cake I ever tasted. Good thing I brought home some.
  3. My new Spongebob mug! I actually broke the mug he gave me last Valentine’s day. So he bought me a new one. (Random fact: Whatever I drink, I always use mug!)
  4. Say hi to Ciro, the nicest out of the 9 cats in this house.
  5. Cheers to the new RNs! All of my beloved classmates passed the board. I’m so proud of them. Well, people used to stare at us in a sinister way while they whisper, “Oh! The cheaters!” But just look at them! You can’t cheat on board yo! What am I saying? LOL! Beh, I should forget about nursing by now. I have taken another path way different from it. So, I need to focus on my present let’s-say-dream.

Cette Semaine…

  • July 18,2011 — Good Morning Naples. I’m too early this day ‘cuz we’re going to Sorrento.. Yipeee!
  • A snapshot of the Sorrento’s blue water. It’s the best [so far].
