How can't you love them?!

Summer is flowing like a stream in front of me and i can't get into it. It feels so strange. Summer here has always had a different taste, but this year i just can't get into the summer mood.



Sanremo, Italy


I'm studying lots, the test is TUESDAY, maybe that could be a reason.


The job is fine, and recently i've taken my brother Alessandro with me. The kid i'm baby sitting is so cute and it's really easy to be with him, so i had no doubt they would have been friends quickly. But it was so nice to see how easy it was for them, for all the children, i guess, get friends. 
After a few question about what their favorite play station games and soccer team were, they get along really well. The funniest was that after a half an hour they were already calling each other "mate" and "dude".


And i was wondering why, as you grow up, everything gets harder. Why, it can't be so easy to be friends for the adults as it is for the kids. And i was also wondering when exactly, friendship, turns into something potentially difficult.

Something to think about!


Surfing on the web, i ended up on this site. I got captured by the title. All those pictures are not powerful for their beauty or their pleasantness, because they has been taken by a good photographer or with some difficoult tecnique.


Their powerfulness comes from the feelings they move inside each of us. They all remind the tragic events of 2011, and by the empathic tendency of the human being we feel destroied by seeing those images. 
The problem is, each of us, reacts in a different way according to the education, the environmental conditioning and many other factors.
That's why the description underneath each image is so important.
Misunderstandings are a huge problems for the modern comunications.
But actually, the real problem begins when "the misunderstanding", become the means of the media. 



I developed my examination thesis on this subject and if anyone is aware of new studies, I'd appreciate if you contact me.

Grey's Anatomy

Tonight is my special night with my mum. I missed so much those nights while i was in Australia.
Normally we watch a movie or our favorite show, Gray's Anatomy.
We got addicted to that show since the first time we saw it. We sort of, always want to now what's happening next. We are watching at the 7th season now, and i can't think the 8th is the last one.


Tonight, is that night 



Hanging out!

After the birthday party for the girls, we had another special dinner with them. That night, we had some rostelle, a typical italian way to grill the meat, with a twist. Instead of the sheep meat we made them with moose meat, which is typical swedish. They were really yummy.

 


The girls, my brother and i, took care of the dessert. Meringues dipped in dark chocolate, no need to say they were a succes.


After all those parties i had to face my biggest fear: go to the dentist. Luckly everything was all right with my teeth and hopefully i won't be going to the dentist for a long, long time.

One Life



When I was a young boy 
I was living for the moment 
The world was wide open 
I had every choise 
But with so many choises 
I just didn't know what to do now 
All I say is just forget it 
If you tell me I'll regret it 
Just let it be what it is 
Coz it's so easy to say 

If I knew yesterday what I know today, where would I be tomorrow 
I won't let my soul slide away, I'd do whatever it takes 
Coz this time's only borrowed 

I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it 
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it right 

My daddy sat me down, he said, 
"Son it's probably time to start making some plans" 
And I said, "No, not right now" 
With so many choises 
I just didn't know what to do now 
All I'd say is forget it when he'd tell me I'd regret it 

Just let it be what it is, coz it's so easy to say. 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/james+morrison/one+life_20979666.html ] 
If I knew yesterday what I know today, where would I be tomorrow 
I won't let my soul slide away, I'd do whatever it takes 
Coz this time's only borrowed 

I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it 
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it right 

You say the more you think you know what's right 
The less you do what you feel inside 
So I won't pretend that I always know 
I just follow my heart wherever it goes 
And I may not always get it right 
But at least I'm living coz I've only got this... 

One life, one life, one life, I've got this one life. 

If I knew yesterday what I know today, where would I be tomorrow 
I won't let my soul slide away, I'd do whatever it takes 
Coz this time's only borrowed 

I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it 
I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it right 

When I'm an old man, hope I'll be rocking in my chair 
Smiling to myself 
I'll tell my baby girl 
"You only get one life, so make sure you live it right"

Day Off

After the big party of last night, today i had a relaxing/studying day.


I dedicate my self to all the things i love to do or relaxes me. 







This morning, not easily, i woke up early and went shopping. Found some great stuff. 


Then i HAD TO, study a little bit.


After that i decided i deserved some relax. So i polished my nails, which i love to do. In the last three days, i've changed nail color three times. Ok, maybe, that was a bit to much.


As someone special once told me "It's exhausting to be fabulous!!!"




11 is the perfect number!!


Last night, since a long time, i had a wonderful family-dinner. It was my cousins's birthday and most of the family joined the party. We laughed all night long and re-discovered the joy of spending time together.

At the end of the party everybody were happy especially the little ones, that had a really Italian birthday party, wich can be much more chaotic than the Swedish one.

Happy days make you realise how lucky you are!

I'm getting use to enjoy life without being to stressed about the future...and i kinda like it. Today i had a wonderful day even if i didn't anything special. A little bit of shopping and spending the day with loved people  sometimes can be enough for be happy. The simple things, eventually, are the most precious.

Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by
the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in
your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

When i was in Australia, this sentence was a sort of inspiration for me. I lived my experience 100 % and i put all my self in whatever i did. But, sometimes, rest in the safe harbors, isn't so bad after all.

Happiness has a sound


Music is a really important and always-present thing in my life. Everything seems easier with a good song in background and if the lyric is as good as the tune it's just perfect. I do listen commercial music and i actually listen a bit of every kind of music. But there's only a couple of singers/songwriters that really gets straight to my heart. I would share with you some of them.


I would say Adele is my favorite woman singer. She's so deep and her voice gets really emotional on me. The album 21, is just amazing. Love every single track, i would say that "Crazy for you" is my favorite at the moment, though.





I keep on trying, fighting these feelings away, but the more i do, the crazier i turn into.


As  i already let you know, my ABSOLUTE favourite, singer in the WHOLE world is Paolo Nutini. I can't help my self of loving him. Love the tunes, the lyrics, his voice, simply everything. I find my self in every word he sings. His new album is coming out soon, i'm so looking forward for that. From the past two albums he published "These Street" and "Sunny Side Up" i couldn't chose my favorite song, i love all of them. Lately the one i listen more often at is "Coming Up Easy" from his second cover. 


It was in love i was created and in love is how i hope i die.


Not long ago, i discovered a new English folk group, that is amazing: the Mumford and Sons. I don't know them really well yet, but i love all the tracks i listened to. My favorite is "Hold On What You Believe". They defenitely deserve to be with my favorites.


But hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight.

The group i just mentioned involves me emotionally. The last group i'll talk about tonight will be "The Black Keys". They are soooooo good. They make my day be better as soon as i listen the start of one of their tunes, i just want to dance and sing out as loud as i can. They have a great impact on my mood: always make me feel better.




It was a happy way to say goodnight, to you, world. 
I'm getting quite use to my life back home now. I got a job and i study most of my time.
Tanning lots, going out with friends, pretty quite days here. 

The highlight of my week was seeing a friend i hadn't seen for almost one year. He's working on commercial ships, sailing through America and Europe. It was pretty tough say goodbye, he'll hopefully be back in Agoust, but nothing is for sure yet.

Last night we had a family party: my cousin, my brother, his girlfriend and i. Had the best time ever that ended up having a bath in the sea at 5 a.m. under the rain.

And today my lovely twins cousins arrived from Sweden. Coming here to celebrate was their birthday wish. We'll have a lot of girl-time. Polishing our nails, taking care of our beauty and enjoying some quality time with people that love you and always will.

I keep building memories i'll keep with me forever, and i'm so lucky to have around all those wonderful people that keep building with me and for me.


Surfing on internet i found this really interesting article. When i got out the college i was so scared and confused i wish somebody told me what i read on this page. Check it out, it's worth it.

A piece of heart

After nearly two months i came back from Tasmania i spoke with my australian family. I'll be honest, i didn't spoke to them yet cause i wasn't sure i could do that. Even though i miss them a lot, in a selfish way i avoid to speak with them because i knew it would hurt.


I think of them every SINGLE day. Whatever i do, i got some memories about them, and it always end up with me crying.
When i listen to the music i think about how we loved to move the table in the kitchen and dance like crazy. Annabelle loved when i lifted her up and danced with her. I still remember her laugh when we did. She was happy, and i was too.


The day before i left, after i pic them up from school i took them to the park. Felix was so happy he couldn't stop thanking me. I remember i was sitting on a bench, he run to me, hugged me and said: "Thank you Sarah, you are my best, BEST friend!!!".



Annabelle is using the toilete, no more nappies.



Lachie got in the older group of the State soccer team and will go to Coff Harbour in October.


And i wish i could always have a friend like Rachel beside me. She always knew what to say, to make me feel better, and i hope our friendship will last although the distance. 




New, not typical, summer passion.

I'm doing a crochet scarf. I know it's not a typical summer hobby, but i'm actually enjoing it. I'm not sure if  do like doing crochet or i like it just because it simply all i do. I'll be honest will you: i'm bored to death. I'm forcing my self not to work and i'm trying to relax and get my enery back to be ready for the stressfull winter is aspecting me, but i can't. I do not like to be here, and at least when i had a job i did something to keep myself busy.
