Sex And The City

This post is dedicated to the best TV show ever: SEX AND THE CITY.

Ever since I got to know the show Sex And The City (don't remember when it was exactly) I became addicted to it. I remember those afternoons with Jose and Diana when I just couldn't stop referring to the show! hahaha (thx for standing me guys). To those who may not know about the show (if the possibility still exists), u might just get a lil puzzled about it because of its title, "does it only refer to sex?".

Well the answer is NO. It's not about a group of 4 desperate-horny-single women in their 30's who live in NYC. To me it's about the glam life, being a gorgeous single and the importance of having your friends close to you. The most outstanding thing from the show: "sex from a female's point of view and turn it into a weekly event" ( Chris North who plays Mr. Big in the show).

I really like how Michael Patrick King (one of the show's producers) defines SATC:

"ppl find it's only about sex or it's just about fashion and it's slowly over the years ppl start to see it's really about love and relationships and sex and basically the battlefield of trying to be in love, whether to be with another person or be with yourself"

Despite it ended a couple of years ago, I can't help it watching chapters over and over again. They still make me laugh like the first time! or even better, now I watch them from a different perspective ;) Although I do not agree or like the main character's attitude (Carrie Bradshaw, even if the Brainfall Quiz test result told me I was a "Carrie Bradshaw), I just LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEE the show! Recently I found 4 vids on Youtube.com about the farewell of the show so I decided to post them here to have them at a "click" distance whenever I want to watch them ;)

Wednesday 27th February... I'm editing this post, way too long! just leaving my fav' vid... enjoy!

From Beauvais with love

hej hej everyone around... it's been quite a long time ever since I last wrote the latest blog post here...

the last 15 days I have been studying "seriously" for my exams back in Spain. By seriously I mean not partying 4 times a week here in Linköping but whenever everybody went to HG, Plata, etc I went home in order to be rested for the next studying day... So that has been my routine here the last 2-3 weeks.

I flew to Madrid last Saturday from Skavsta to Beauvais and then to Madrid. The price of the ticket and the nearness of Skavsta (only 1h30) by direct bus from Linköping were the reasons to choose this route but know I have "sufferer" the "auto-transfer" experience I am seriously questioning the posibility of repeating it... On my way to Madrid I would have to wait in Beauvais 6 hours but that was something I was already prepared for so it was boring boring booooooooooring but at least I knew about. But coming back to Sweden has been an exhausting travel! After having slept for 4 hours in the last 48h in Madrid (an exam, meeting friends, going out for dinner) I was really looking foward to sleep on the planes (Madrid- Beauvais, Beauvais-Skavsta) and getting early in the afternoon to Linköping and then sleep for the rest of the afternoon to be ready for the Plata reentré night (also known as the Long Island Iced tea night). I landed in Beauvais on time (8am) but the flight to Skavsta at 9.30 am as well as all of the flights departuring from Beauvais were cancelled because of the densed fog. We were told we would be rearrenged in the flight at 12.30pm but that flight didn't take place either... I was terribly tired, unable to find a place where to take a nap, having to carry around my hand luggage which was now incredibly heavy due to the 4bottles (2gin, 1tequila,1rum) I had just bought in the dutty-free...

I had already tested all of the creams, stared at all of the Paris souvenirs, gone to the toilet, read magasins,... Beauvais is too small for more than 2h!!!!!! and more over, the boarding hall is toooooooo small to hold all of the passangers from 5 cancelled flights (Pisa, Rome, Oslo, Varsovia, Skavsta)... and still more ppl coming in! :S

They finally decided to "evacuate" the boarding hall and we were all in the checking area which is still too small for the amount of ppl we were... I finally got a new boarding pass for the flight to Skavsta which was departuring at 3.30pm... that means a delay of 6h!!!! I managed to sleep during the second period in the boarding hall and then again on the flight...
but the best was still to come: we arrived at Skavsta at 5.40pm whenever the shuttle to Linköping had left 10min ago, W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L having to wait 2h for the bus to come was just what I needed...

the best part of the day: having lovely friends who cook and are capable of saving a warm dish for you whenever you're hungry, too tired to prepare anything to cook :)))) and the best, the comforting chat u have after a couple of days away, I LOVE PARMIGIANO REGGIANO CORRIDOR!

ps.- please don't leave...

Routinary day in Linköping

"early" in the morning: wake up in my lovely bedroom

further in the "early" morning: relaxed breakfast in the kitchen where I'll probably chat with at least one of my very sociable corridor-mates

after the breakfast: check e-mail and Spanish newspapers

once the e-mail has been checked: going to the University's library...

I'll be back home at around 7pm or so!

Have a nice day!

Leyre ;)

Luck is a chance happening, or that which happens beyond a person's control. Luck can be good or bad.

Why to be back in Linköping?

You wake up on a Sunday morning and you see a lovely sunny day and snow all around... :))))

while queueing for the Lapland trip...

¿Oye, cuál es tu concepción de la vida?

Pienso que cada uno de nosotros tiene muchas cosas dentro y que, entonces, la vida sirve para hacer salir todas estas cosas fuera. Lo que quiero decir que al final de mi vida seré feliz si todo lo que tenía en mí he podido hacerlo crecer y vivir. Luego pienso que estaremos muertos durante bastantes años, así que me parece importante aprovechar la vida a tope, disfrutando de todas las cosas bonitas que nos ofrece.

From the book "Las Voces del Deseo"...

What is ur own conception about life?

I'm writing this while Giulio is sleeping, Laura just gave up with her intent of falling asleep, the Aussies are beign quite noisy and the Spanish crew is just on the other side of the hall being very quiet... ;)

ps.- still 7h30 till the ticket selling starts... will we be able to see the Northen Lights once we're there?

Happy New Year to you too Linkoping!

I'm back for the next 5 months!

HAPPY 2008!

back in Madrid (wonderful & sunny!!), back home, back with my family, with my friends,...
It's been a lovely time here, very very relaxing (although I don't really understand this feeling cause I suffer no stress at all in Linköping... :P ) and very helpful to see my Swedish experience from another point of view :D I'm happy here but willing to go back to Linköping, a place that feels like home too! checking some photos from August b4 I left to Sweden I found some really nice ones with Conchi ;) having a lot of fun in Madrid... I specially like this one, so much time passed! I left Madrid on the 13th of August... now leaving again on the 11th of January! Am I excited about it? Well yes indeed! :)))))


btw.- just found out that Pablo (Alcalá) and I will be taking the same flight to Göteborg!
