Wishful Wednesday - Career Change

 It's Wednesday...and well, no more comment on that one. You should know what I normally do on Wednesdays *besides work, wallow in self pity and all that*...Wishful Wednesday!!!!


'I wish' .... I had the opportunity to change careers and it would be _..._!

You know the second I read this week's topic I almost started crying!!!! 
Don't feel bad for me now, but it's exactly what I don't need right now and still do need. It's my time to change careers and it drives me insane.
I'm not happy with my job, and my field and I should and will change this.
Not sure what though.


So, this week's topic made me shiver...yes, I could skip it but what's the fun in that?!
Plus, I claim that writing always helps so I should follow my advice and go for it. 
I do wish it was that easy to change careers...so if I had the opportunity to change careers...I would wanna do three things. Not at the same time but still two things...two I wanted to do for a long time so don't laugh okay. One would be acting *hahahaha...yes, don't laugh, but I am laughing right now so you're allowed to do so, too*, and the second one would be writing. Maybe not. I might just go for opening up my own coffee store where I am the boss and can come and go as I please (almost) and have fun in what I'm doing.

Why acting?! I always loved it. I still do. And yes, I did stage acting. Long time ago but I did, and I was good at it. Plus, I love to change and to pretend I'm someone else. Then again it's not always pretending. 

Why writing?! Not sure. I love it. It may not be the best, and I may not rock it but I love sitting and jotting down stuff. Yes, I do. I loved writing essays!!!! YES, believe it or not I loved writing essays...and coming up with the weirdest stories, great advice columns, and such. Not sure why I didn't major in that field?! Maybe I thought it was about to destroy my future?! Hmmm...have we met yet?! My now-future is just very plain and boring and it's not what I love. 

Oh, and the cafe?! It's part of what I majored in (not coffee making of course), and it's what I love to own one day if ever possible. I love to work with people, for people not so much but it all depends on how you work for people. Plus a coffee place that makes tons of people happy and lets them read books, study, enjoy great drinks and such...why not?! It would make me happy. I know there are a ton out there but they all look the same or have the same concept in mind; and mine would be different. 
Wouldn't want to tell you now. My secret would be spilled.

Why these three career changes?!
People, people, people.
I love working with people, talking, pretending, changing, organizing, writing, reading, story telling, coffee drinking, hosting, being surrounded by tons of people, being the center of attention, not being the center of attention, sitting alone next to a window, dreaming, wishing, imagining, etc etc ....

...so why not?!
Or if you have an idea on what I could do, let me know please.
Ideas are highly appreciated. Trust me on this.
No matter how weird your idea of my new career might be still let me know. It may help me a lot.

 I just believe that we all should be doing what makes us happy.
No matter how silly, stupid, weird, different it all may be to what we majored in, learned, and started with we should be doing what we love and what makes us happy.

If it destroys us it's not worth continuing whatever we've been doing.
If it ruins us it's not worth it.
If we dread each day it's not worth it.
If we wake up and are happy in whatever we're doing it is worth it.
Even if it means to wake up at four in the freaking morning. Even if it means to get a bad salary.
One of my friends majored in graphic design and art history and all that...today she's a social worker. The pay is horrible, the job really tough but she's loving it. She loves her kids, and she loves the people she works with and works for. It's all that matters. She sure misses her art time but she loves helping out and making sure all her kids are being taken care of and get what they deserve because they are special and deserve the best life possible. Granted, there are times she doesn't love it all...but that will always happen. It cannot be 100% happy job/career time...there are times we can't stand it; it all normal. But if you can't stand it to 80% something is really wrong there...so yes, I'm so going to change careers.

Anyways...that's about it.
I'm gonna look for more fun answers on Kelsey's blog!
You should, too! :)

Happy Wednesday.

Wishful Wednesday - SATC

 This post is scheduled...mainly because I'm out and about (sorta) but I didn't want to miss Wishful Wednesday! Plus the topic is one I didn't want to miss out on :) 


This week's it's :

 'I wish' .... I could be the one and only _Charlotte_ in SATC2!!

 In all honestly, I haven't watched SATC2 yet.
Not yet. I will.
And I don't care if it's good or not I will watch it. So don't spoil it for me, thank you! :)

Watching the series was a weekly ritual for my mom and I, and then in school my bestie R. and I would watch it and then call each other right after the episode to discuss what had happened. This would usually last hours and it was a ton of fun. I truly miss those times. Miss R. too. Anyways, so since we were watching it in different parts of the town and not having time to watch it together we would always meet on weekends for shopping trips to SB and then dress up and all. So much fun.
And well, as time would tell, she'd call me Charlotte. She claimed I looked like her, talked like her, and sometimes behaved like Charlotte...so eventually I started dressing like her, too. haha! So, Charlotte it is. 
Today I'm not sure if I'm still Charlotte but I do believe I'm 85% still her...somehow. Ha!

So, even though I haven't seen SATC2 I still wanna be Charlotte...I think?!
Love how she dresses, her funny brain, and how she's lived her live so far. Ok, no divorce for me; thank you.
Hmmmm...
...now I really wanna see the movie.

For more answers, go on over to Kelsey's aewsome blog.
I know I will once I get more time!
 Happy Wednesday.

Wishful Wednesday - Bedroom


Welcome to Wednesday again! :)
Kelsey's topic this week is:
 'I wish' .... I could come home to this 
(have a look below please) bedroom every night!

Oh boy...if you google bedrooms you end up with a trillion different possibilities...there's this one and there's that one too and oh there's another one...my typical answer today! ;) I don't have my dream bedroom to go to each night, but it's ok. I have my bed and it's all that matters...my blanket's amazingly warm and cozy, too (considering we're having temps in the 40s lately it's a blessing!).
So, let's see what my dream bedroom could and should look like one day...simple, very special and just so very me... ;) Shall we?!

via
Love the above one. It looks cozy, and it certainly would calm me. 
That's what's needed...a room that relaxes me and lets me dream each night.

But if I really could I'd buy me a house and make my bedroom look like the one below
*including the view of course*:
YES PLEASE!!!

And you should all know by now that I cannot settle for just one bedroom.
A combo of all of my choices would be awesome...but who am I kidding?!

So yeah, a combo of all three. Apparently I love the classic and clean look. Not much color and all. Just a haven to come home to and relax in and let the crazy world around me disappear for hours.

For more fun pictures hop on over to Kelsey's and play along or just read what others had to share.

Happy Wednesday.

Wishful Wednesday - Regret


It's Wishful Wednesday again. Woohoo! This week's topic is:

'I wish' .... I hadn't thrown 
away my my old Nintendo game console!!
 
 I know it's ridiculous. I know.
However, I loved to play it, and I miss it. If I still had it I'd play for sure. Now I don't and have to save money to buy me a Wii. My friend bought one a few weeks ago and I was practically using it every day. She hardly was. Not sure why she bought it. LOL
But yes, I miss my little game monster and wish I had one. Just  to distract me from the internet, from all those sad news stories and from everything else that is going wrong in the world or in my life.
Ha, Nintendo back in the day was a giant gray console with giant disks to put in...today...wow! Plus, it's nostalgia. 
 
 picture via google images
*sorry for this bad image though. looks so blurry*
 
 Awwww...good old times...when I didn't even know what a laptop was. ha!
 
I'm hoping over to Kelsey's fabulous blog and check out what others had to say.
 
Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Wishful Wednesday - Language

Finally I have time to update, read blogs, comment on most of them (hopefully), relax, wash clothes, do taxes (ok, that'll happen on Sunday!), and all...including...participating in Kelsey's Wishful Wednesday series. Love it every time. I felt bad for not doing anything for the past few weeks. I never had time. Yes, a lame excuse but still...whenever I thought of it I was too exhausted or it was Thursday already. So yeah, I'm happy I can participate this week. Woohoo! :)


So, this week's topic is

'I wish' .... I was fluent in another language in addition to English, and it would be __Japanese__!
Oh I wish I could actually speak a lot of other languages...but obviously I can't.
I chose Japanese because it's a language that interests me. Now, some of you would say "why this one?" or "why not Spanish or French or something "normal"?" Well, the so-called "normal" ones are easier to find. However, it is not as easy to find people being fluent in Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Turkish, Greek, or something not so very common. And that's why I chose Japanese.
Besides I took it in college and loved it. I regret the fact that I didn't go on studying it more. I get to hear it from time to time when I visit my godfather (his wife's Japanese) or even at work, but still...I wish I could speak it (or read it for that matter) and shock everyone around me. It'll help me find better jobs or give me better opportunities or just have a ton of fun while I use it...because rare is what's wanted these days; it equals good and interesting.
;)

So, in order to read what others had to say hop on over to Kelsey's blog and read some more answers.
I know I will.

Happy Wednesday.

Wishful Wednesday - Handbag


Even in crisis like these I get to enjoy Kelsey's Wishful Wednesday fun. I almost didn't make it today. Why??? First of all...yesterday after work I went online (at home). The usual quick check because at work I am not able to go online anymore. New system means no internet so far except for the regular emails we get in. Anyways...so I went online and checked stuff, and then out of nowhere my connection was dead. Nothing. Nada...I tried and nothing worked. So I gave up because I had to go to bed. I woke up at 5 this morning...got ready for work but decided to check again because it just has to be a mistake....nope. System down, server problems whatever...of course I went pissed to work. Not only does this happen to me, but it happens right before I leave for Philly and during an airline strike week...I need to know whether or not I can take off and land as planned. So far everything's good I think. So my trip can start and end as planned and I can enjoy my time away and focus on fun things. Anyways...so this afternoon I got home and tried again...nothing. Exhausted and just unable to think properly I called the hotline. The guy was nice, and very helpful and understanding...I accidentally told him I had windows XP which I don't have at all...yup, I'm tired. So yeah...he helped but nothing worked. So he's sending stuff over to reinstall things on the laptop or whatever, and of course it'll arrive when I'm gone. But at least help is on its way. Then, I just decided to go to my music section and make a CD out of my favorite songs or so and then whoops...the internet is magically working again. Love my iTunes...it helped me to get back on this cyperland...haha. Hopefully it stays this way.
And NO, I am not addicted to the internet, but it has become a helpful tool, a great entertainer, and right now, a good travel source and well...I need to check with my flight status...so it is important right now. (>_<)

So, back to Kelsey...and away from my airline/travel/internet crisis....

Her topic this week is

'I wish' .... I could afford any _coach_ handbag without putting a dent in my pocketbook!

I love coach bags. Wish we had them over here. I do love Gucci and Louis Vuitton too but I just simply stick to the ones I can't buy that easily. Besides, I think I could afford either designer/brand bag (don't want to sound rich now and btw I am not) but would always choose the cheaper kind. That's maybe also why I have like 100 bags at home...and the number is increasing. ;) So, a classic or colorful and sorta sexy coach bag will just do fine!!


There are a lot more bags from Coach that I would want but I couldn't put them on here anymore...it would be a total overload of awesome-looking and useful bags...I would have to jump right into this screen to get them...that's how much I want them. ;)

For more bags and awesome inspiration...go on over to Kelsey's and look what others had to share. Now I so want to go shopping.

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!!

And please keep your fingers crossed for me.
Ya know why...hopefully.

Wishful Wednesday - Lottery

Wow, I made it...I didn't think I would manage to come back today and do Wishful Wednesday but I am here. :) Woohoo!!! So, let's get on with it...

This week's topic is...

'I wish .... I could win the lottery REAL soon, and I would hope to...work part time so I won't lose sight of what's important, and well...save some and spend some, too. ;)

Yes, let's face it...who wouldn't want to win the lottery?! We all do. How nice would it be to get instant $2 million for hitting the right numbers? Or even more than that?! YES. We'd be able to pay off debts, loans, buy things we couldn't afford before, save some so the future's partly taken care of, and of course we girls would go shopping.
However, money isn't everything. It helps to earn lots each month, and have some stored away and all but in the end it is nothing. You can't buy happiness and love with money *even though so many still believe in that*, and you simply can't change lots with it either. Maybe for the moment but not for eternity. 

So yes, I'd be saving up lots, but would also spend lots. 
But most importantly, I'd continue to work. At least part time and doing things in a surrounding I love and with people I care about etc etc. Heck, I'd open up my own shop so I'd be my own boss...then again that's a lot of work too, but still...it'll be something I'd love to do.
Maybe, maybe not.
I would know by the time I hit the jackpot. ;)

So, go on over to Kelsey's fabulous blog and play along!!

Happy Wednesday.

P.s. Blogger's got some spacing and editing issues today, at least on my site here and it all looks weird on here so by the time I hit publish I am hoping it's all resolved. ;)

Wishful Wednesday - Gown



Kelsey's Wishful Wednesday topic this week is 

"I wish' .... I could wear an elegant, classy, and still sexy dress on my wedding day!"
Something I would be proud of, something I could and would see me wearing *because I hardly ever wear dresses*, and just something I would feel comfortable in. Nothing too fancy, or "flowery"...I like it simple, sweet, and classy.
Here's the thing. I am not married.
Sigh. I wish sometimes I was.
I always thought at around 23 I would be ready and have my first child at maybe 25 or 26. Nope.
Life has different plans for me. 
Not so sure what these plans are but I'm going with the flow. I think. I hope.
Anyways...so I can and will pretend.
Plus who said girls don't dream...no one!!! 
We all do, and we love to do it, right?!
So there's absolutely nothing wrong with my dreaming of a wonderfully fitting wedding dress that will make me shine and feel happy for the entire day.
Woohoo.
I sure keep my fingers crossed.
Maybe one day it's my turn.
Until then I am dreaming and looking at pretty pictures...
...just like the following ones.

 I think this is just very simple, and I love the A-line.
I don't like the hair piece or whatever that is but it's ok. Adds some touch.
Those embroided flowers don't even bother me. ;)
I would probably go with the second one.
Just not in white.

So, I think that's about it...since I'm not even close to getting married the thought of any wedding dress never fully occurred to me. It wasn't easy to find samples of what I have in mind. But I think to give you an idea I did I great job. ;)

Don't forget to go over to Kelsey's blog and see what other's had to say.
I know I will.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Wishful Wednesday - Novel

Oh yes, wonderful Kelsey's back and that even with a new button.
Perfect for spring and just so super cute, right?!

This week's Wishful Wednesday topic is
*and I can't believe I have the energy to do this*

I wish...I could play a character's role in a book and it would be...Clare Abshire from The Time Traveler's Wife!
I absolutly LOVED this book. Haven't seen the movie (yet).
But the book I read in two days. Less than that actually.

The journey she goes through (well both of them actually), 
and the fact that they somewhat manage to live like this 
with all its ups and lots of downs is amazing.  
She's so strong and this is just one of so many more reasons why I like this character.

Love can conquer everything...at any age and in any kind of dimension.
 

Sigh.

 

Can't wait to see the movie. Soon!!!

For more Wishful Wednesday posts hop on over to Kelsey's blog and see what others had to say.
I'm gonna do this right after I hit the publish button. ;)

Happy Wednesday everyone.

And thank you all for your lovely comments.
I'm still feeling like crap, but my stomach flu's sort of under control now which is great.
Now, let's hope my ear is gonna be "normal" again too, soon at least...
...my fingers...that may take a while.

Wishful Wednesday - 3 Minutes

Wishful Wednesday

This week's topic is


I wish...I could spend three minutes in ...'s shoes!

Wow!!!!
Do I know which one?
No freakin' way.
This really got me thinking and I have to say thank you Kelsey for this one.

This really got me thinking. A lot.
Maybe even wayyyyyy too much.
Usually the first name/person is the best.
But no. I have to go extreme. Write lists and such and compare and all that until I find...
...ok, no I didn't. But it still got me thinking.
I also got a headache and then tought...it can't be worse than what his head's going through...



You might like him or you might not.
I don't care.
I just would love to know how fast his head's spinning and what it must feel like to basically have this much power. Besides, I always complain about decision making and other banal things I'm sure after those three minutes I would really appreciate the simplicity of my life, and how careless I can live it. ;)

Happy Wishful Wednesday.

So, now hop on over to Kelsey's blog and look for other great bloggers, or hey, participate! :)

Need I say more?!
It's purple!!!!!
It's Sandra Bullock!
No further comment.

So go on over to Kelsey's amazing blog and see what others had to say.

Wishful Wednesday - Entrepreneur

It's Wednesday again and this obviously means I'm playing along with Kelsey's Wishful Wednesday series.
I'm still feeling a bit off today but better, and well, I just needed to distract myself and actually drag myself out of bed! So here you go....

Wishful Wednesday

This week's topic is

I wish...I had the startup funds to build that company I have 
always dreamt about, and it would be.....!

Ok, I never dreamt about having a company or my own store. Never. Odd? Maybe.
But, when you get older (sigh...), you get to experience things and have visions, and at some point tiny dreams occur and these dreams or ideas might come close to starting up a business.
So, this WW's "answer" is going to be a bit different than usual. I think. Here it goes:


 Where I'm living right now, I automatically compare things. I see what's been missing and what most probably will never be functioning over here. Cannot tell why exactly but certain businesses that work in other countries and cities don't normally work over here. Sometimes it's good because that way it makes this city unique and not just like any other place which then makes it automatically boring. But sometimes it's quite sad that the stubbornness of this place and country and area just makes the city look dull and out of place.

Either way, it is quite difficult to start a business over here. I've seen good ideas, and people actually opening up stores and all...but those good ideas vanished into nothing after a few months.
So, seeing all this makes this question a tricky one.


Ha, yes, I've always wanted this place to have outlet stores, or stores sort of like TJ Maxx or Ross or even Kohl's. I wish this could be done easily. But if I had to choose, I would open something like TJ Maxx or Ross over here and make it work. Somehow. It just has to work. And I think people would like this. They might be hesitant about it for a while but with the right amount of advertising, and with the right amount of budget and price tags (and we all read about how expensive it is over here) it should work!
But I'm a chicken, and this won't be happening. :(






Though my 'ultimate' dream thing is something else.


I would want to open my own little cafe. Ok, not so little. 


I love coffee, and well, I do love tea, too. I am a huge lover of self-made muffins, or donuts, or bagels, or cookies or anything else that might be fun to eat (even for lunch or early dinners) while drinking freshly brewed coffee, great tea, or any other yummy drinks. Cakes would be cool, too. Nothing like Starbucks or Coffee Bean. It would be unique, with its own music, reading corners, lounge sofas, bookshelves, long tables, pictures/sculptures of local artists, and such. Maybe even with private sections that allow students to study. Or, also with a little stage so local artists could be playing once a week or something. 
But it won't be a nightclub, nor a bar, nor anything close to that.
Just a cafe with a tiny touch to it!



Imagine, a mixture of some hot and cute cafe somewhere in Paris, or France for that matter, with a little backyard garden (with heaters for the cooler winter time) and lounge sofas somewhere so you can sit down, drink and eat but also relax. Because we don't need stiffness in our lives, if we do we can have  it somewhere else...maybe!


 

And it sort of should look like this...with a more modern touch to it...
...if you could see and read my brain right now you'd understand what I mean...haha!



 

Sort of...
...as long as it's cozy and just welcomes you in and lets you stay forever! ;)

I wish I could have found something that looks exactly like the image I'm imagining right now.

Well, and I'm glad I never did this or will never do this, because there are thousands out there...
...maybe not exactly how I would mine to be, but still...in the end, a cafe is only a cafe. ;)

Enough from me.
I'm heading over to Kelsey's and check some of your stories out...

Wishful Wednesday - Hairstyle




It's Wednesday, and what does this mean?!
Yes, it's Wishful Wednesday time again.
*if you don't know what that is, hop on over to Kelsey's blog*


This week's topic is:

 I wish I had ...hair/hairstyle!
And my answer to this topic is...


I wish I had Jennifer Aniston's hair and hairstyle!



via

I just love how her hair looks.
The way it falls, and shines and all.
Never liked "the Rachel do" or whatever they called it back in 1994/5.
My hair's a total mess, and never listens to me. ;-)
It's not really thick so I have my little helpers to make it look stronger and not-so-darn thin.
But I would give almost anything to just have her hair for one week.
Years ago I knew what shampoo she used to make it look so beautiful (we had to buy it for her).
But I forgot what it was. Then again, I'm sure it's something totally different today.



So, hair...look at the picture and promise me to become this beautiful one day! Thank you.

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Wishful Wednesday - Santa

Wishful Wednesday

It's Wishful Wednesday time and the last for this year!!!

This time Kelsey's topic is...

 I wish...Santa would have remembered ...was on my list!

There was never really a list in the first place.
I used to have extremely long lists when I was younger and sometimes I was fortunate enough to get one or two things out of that list but today a list seemed pointless. Then again, I would be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of any particular gifts during this holiday season.
I didn't get any of those things, but I'm fine with that.

I would have loved to see...



and/or




Greedy?! Maybe.
But I've always wanted to get a new distraction in life (hence the Wii),
and with money you can't go wrong...and I could buy whatever I wanted.
A raise would be nice, too, but I doubt this is gonna happen any time soon.

Needless to say this again, but I'm glad I didn't get any
of the above mentioned.
I'm happy with what I've got and can still enjoy life.

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!

Hop on over to Kelsey's blog and read some more WW's stories!!

Wishful Wednesday - Holiday Experience

Kelsey's back with wonderful Wishful Wednesay topics.

Wishful Wednesday

This week it is

I wish...
I could relive one particular holiday experience over and 
over again, and it would be...
1998/99 Christmas and New Year's in New York City!

 From the moment we arrived I loved it. Weather was unbearably cold but it didn't matter. 
My uncle, aunt, and cousin flew from southern Illinois to NYC to spend the entire time with us. It felt so good to spend that time of year a bit differently. I remember that was around the time my aunt decided to skip her annual Christmas dinners for good. I was shocked. My favorite time of year was cracked, and almost shattered, so naturally I was thrilled to hear we were heading towards a different direction. 
♥  ♥  ♥  ♥  ♥

The only sad part now is that I won't be able to share any pictures. 
They are all in my photo album. Obviously I didn't have a digital camera back then.
Though, if you've been to NYC and been there during this time of year I'm sure you know how wonderful it is. Then again, it's an amazing city at any time, and in almost pretty much every corner. 

New Year's Eve we spent outside the city, with friends of the family. Good times.



Why do I count this as an experience I want to relive over and over again?
For once, I was younger and full of passion and full of everything I somehow lost over the past four years.
I want to feel that passion again. I want to be that girl again that enters Macy's for the first time in her life (yes, yes!!), walks down or up Broadway, stands in the middle of a square and can't get enough of a huge red Christmas decoration, is in awe of the breathtaking view over the entire city from any kind of angle and buildings, loves to be recognized even though it bothers her to be mistaken for someone else (yes, complicated but hey, twisted mind as a teenager...), loves to finally just be in a big city (remember? I grew up in a tiny town), jumps around with her cousin, eats pancakes and waffles, drinks hot chocolate (which tasted like total sh-- by the way...but hey, who's complaining!), enjoys a fun musical, drives around the city (in the back seat) with her uncle not having any sense of direction (and we all thought he knew his way around after having lived so long in the city and surroundings...turns out though it's always like this, even in his own town, so yes, real bad sense of orientation), and well...I want to be there again in the city at this time of year.
The spirit and warmth I felt while spending this precious time over there is something I've been looking for for quite some time now. At some point I thought I found it, but it was just a tiny glimpse at the airport in L.A. Weird location. Different story.


So yes, this Christmas trip meant a lot to me. Still does.
I remember it each year, and think of it fondly.
However, I'm glad though my aunt decided to go back to having family Christmas dinners again.
Those, I wouldn't want to miss either!

Happy Wednesday.

Wishful Wednesday - Genre

As always on a Wednesday...

Wishful Wednesday

Kelsey's topic this week is


I wish...my life was a movie, and I would want it to be a dramatic comedy with some adventure!
(and an open end...)

Here's the thing about my life...as much as I want it to be interesting it is not. At least not to me.
I would want the movie to be about my life, nothing made up and nothing fake. 
Though with my life as a movie I'd have to start with the past, and that not just with my past.
And maybe see me reading a book to my grandchild about someone's (or my) life...Notebook style.




It all began with my grandparents and how they met in the 1930's. Him being a student in a foreign country and meeting my grandma. They fall in love, get married, have two girls. Then they move to my grandpa's home. All adventurous because flying is out of the question and the trip involves a long boat/cruise ride. Imagine the late 1940's, early 1950's in a so-called and also somewhat unknown Oriental country. Then the unthinkable happens. Divorce. The family is being ripped apart, and life changes instantly. Years pass by, and my mom reunites with her sister and her mother, and starts life from scratch. While working hard and enjoying life with great trips to Asia and southern America, a child is born.
Well, and that is where my life starts...all filled with a few months living in Trinidad and Tobago, then annual family visits to Istanbul, travels and more family visits to some European countries and to a few US States. Dual citizenships. Triple language household. Confusions. Fights. Job wise, name wise, health wise. My life being a bit dramatic. Then after junior high it gets a bit more interesting...and right after high school it is definitely time for new adventures, more family visits, more everything. College life. Some love stories are involved, too, which always end the way they started. And well, an endless search for the right path in life, struggles that make life a bit challenging, jobs that aren't much fun, more fights, unhappiness, happiness, reunions with old friends, and a heart and soul that is constantly being torn apart and not ready to settle or stand up for what it truly believes in.

The movie would be a comedy, with some dramatic touch as well as some fun adventures.
Imagine shows like How I Met Your Mother, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill and some Grey's Anatomy...
all in one!
*besides all those obvious romanic movies we all heard of*

And well when it comes to actors to that movie I would definitely have a hard time except for future me... definitely Sandra Bullock.

Happy Wednesday!

Wishful Wednesday - Chore

Photobucket

This week's topic on Kelsey's blog is:



I wish... I  never had to clean the bathroom again!

Yeah, I know.
It's something we all need to do but this one is not my favorite. At all.
I don't mind cleaning because I love the fact that everything smells great and looks pretty afterwards.
But bathroom cleaning is one chore I just dread.
Not exactly sure why but it's just the way it is.

Then again, if my bathroom look like the ones below I would probably change my mind.
Maybe.
