As much as I’ve enjoyed my fringe, I think I miss my long layered haircut…

 

Amy Winehouse 30 May, 2008

Amy Winehouse has just finished her concert at Rock in Rio Lisbon. Apparently she’s trainwreck… and so was the gig… She left the stage saying there were too many people, then returned, then ate, drank and sang with a sore throat… People waited more than 1 hour for a 45min concert! This is ridiculous! If I was there I’d demand a refund! What a shame…

I’m not a huge fan of her. Not really my cup of tea. Can’t really stand more than 2 songs in a row. Still, the girl should really get some help, before it’s too late.

Whatever…

Love the Doctor, love Hugh, hate the one I live in. “Home, sweet home” is what I’d like to say when I get there, but at the moment, I say just the opposite…

I’m currently looking for :

-studio or 1 bedroom

-flat/house

-Slough area

-close to transports

-£600/month

Now, lets start searching!

Loved Amsterdam! Even more than the first time! I definitely think I would really like to live in this city. I love the canals, the architecture, the museums, the ambiance… It is an amazing, beautiful, full of life city. Not too big, so one feels safe as one walks through the streets, but big enough to offer all you need. Here are of my photos:

Photo 20 May, 2008

One thing I love is photographs. For various reasons, because they either remind us of someone, an event, a place, something, or they are simply beautiful. A photo can be beautiful because it pictures something beautiful or because it plays with colours, shapes and shadows in a beautiful composition.

I’m NOT a photographer (and don’t even have a proper camera!) but I like to admire photographs (LOVED the Vanity Fair exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery) and “play” with my mobile phone which takes great photos (considering it’s a mobile phone). The other day I discovered the various kinds of photos it can take: black and white, sepia, solarised and negative. I had great fun taking LOADS of pictures. I have this dream that I know will never come true: I’ll have a great camera and know how to take beautiful photos with filters and all that stuff. I know that will never happen because those cameras are way too expensive than what I’m willing to pay for one. So, I’ll keep using my phone which is quite practical as I don’t have to carry 2 objects to do 2 things.

Here are some of my “artistic” photos:

How my heart behaves 18 May, 2008

A cold heart will burst

If mistrusted first

And a calm heart will break

When given a shake

What grew, what grew?

What grew and inside who?

Feist – The Reminder – How my heart behaves

So true…
