The green island

Have you ever just felt the need to travel to certain place? Well, I have. And it's happening right now. 
When I was a little girl, I used to watch every single days a children's tv series called Jakers. The show chronicled the adventures of Piggley Winks, an Irish pig who told stories to his grandchildren about his childhood in Ireland. I remember LOVING that show, probably my favourite one.
Maybe this sound a bit stupid, but I actually felt from that remote land, I felt that I lived in that distant green place called Ireland. I could relate. It's an inexplicable feeling, but it feels great. This is on the top of my bucketlist. I'm infected with wanderlust. I dream about setting foot on the Green Island. And I definitely will, some day.
PS. I Love You, such an adorable movie set in Ireland and a great book which I strongly recommend.

Taking international examinations

2014 has been all good and pretty quiet to me for now, although it's only January 3rd. I've been watching some episodes of Suburgatory and Awkward, two of my favourite shows ever. Also I started to read a book that my mom bought me on Christmas 2010, which for some reason I couldn't finish yet.. (lazy girl here, my apologises).
If you didn't know, I adore learning languages. My mother thonge is Spanish and also I can speak English. I graduated from high school on 2012 and I haven't had any english course in all 2013, unfortunatelly I do not have english classes on university. So this year I decided to take the FCE exam. I've always wanted to take a Cambridge english examination, but due to unknown reasons, I didn't. I know that if you do not practice your english (or any second language you've learnt), you will probably forget a lot about it. I definitely do NOT want that, so that's other reason why I'm taking this exam. Have any of you guys taken any international exam? Any advices? Luckily I'm always reading things in english, like blogs or even books. Plus I just made a decision: I'm not longer reading books in spanish language, at least not this year. I want to focus on my english reading skills. Also I think that's a great way to practice for the FCE. And I absolutely love staying at home watching movies, and of course, they are all in english. Plus, I don't even use the subtitles, so I can force myself to understand what they are saying. LOL. But I have to admit that my learning strategy is actually working, success!
Probably you  think I'm obsessed with languages. And I can't blame you, 'cause that's true. After I take this exam, I really want to learn a third language. I'm not sure which one I want to, though.. I was thinking about Italian, it sounds like pretty and just awesome! Also I would love to try Swedish. What do you guys think?
Okay, I think I'm going back to my reading now, or maybe watch some more episodes of Suburgatory. We'll see. Talk to you later!

I can't see me loving nobody but you for all my life

This is weird. The last time I blogged was on July 10th... I missed this a lot! Sorry about that, by the way.
So many things happened lately. This semester has been so hard and disappointing. But I won't write about that. Anyway. I'm kinda freaking out... when I was about 11 I used to be a super crazy fan of the Jonas Brothers and now they are gone, they broke up! I just can't believe this, my childhood is gone forever! This is kinda sad and it's such a pity because their songs were so catchy and they sounded awesome together. I remember when my best friend Emily and I attended to our first JB concert in 2009. It was a present from my parents, since I was about to turn 15. Best gift ever! I remember all the fans in the stadium singing to We Will Rock You by Queen while waiting for them to show up. I was so excited, I was about to see my idols, I was about to see my teenage crush, Nick Jonas. I used to be in love with him. I hope they get back together one day.
I'm currently watching Freaky Friday, remembering old and happy times :')
Sorry for this awkward post, I just had to put my feelings somewhere.
