Coffee Break

La iniciativa la ví el año pasado por primera vez, pero ha sido esta semana que via gtalk me han dado por primera vez las ganas.

Es que me pareció graciosa la iniciativa cuando Eusebio me la propuso y es que mi hermana Paulina me ha hecho un bolso precioso que ha serigrafiado a mano… será por eso

No es que tampoco quepa un análisis acabado sobre si soy más o menos diseñadora por tener o no, una moleskine (que hoy no llevaba) o no… de hecho me considero modernista, adoro los colores neutros en mis prototipos y perfiero lo efectivo a lo efectista sin dudar… pues al parecer cabe la diversidad de estilos en diferentes ámbitos de mi vida.

Luego de tanta amenaza, a ver qué diantres llevo:

El contenedor:

1. Bolso, claro

Indispensables:

2. Tarjetero de piel  que fue de mi abuelo y me sirve para llevar la tarjeta teléfonica que uso para llamadas internacionales (nótese el post-it con los teléfonos de la familia).

3.  Mi cartera de zapatos (girly 100%)

4. El abono de transporte que permite viajar por Madrid en bus, metro y trenes de cercanías durante un mes completo, sin límite de viajes, por un precio que ronda los 50€

5. Tabaco y mechero (regalo de mi amiga Anita)

6. Llavero de mosquito-aviador-con-alas-de-hada

7. Monedero

8. Iphone con sus cascos originales, que me ponen de los nervios con ese material que se enrolla en todo… pero ahí siguen :-S

9. Gafas… de ver y de sol

Perfumería, farmacia y parafarmacia:

10. Maquillaje y peine

11.  Para la alergia: Loratadina y kleenex

12. Tubo de perfume de la tienda Sephora que al terminase, reciclé con Calvin Klein One y entra perfecto en cualquier bolso

13. Vaselina sólida

14.Chicles de menta

15.Piruleta (di que es “para las bajas de tensión”)

Ya está hecho.

Y vosostros?? qué hay en vuestros bolsos?

One week has passed since our return. Our hollidays at Rob’s were perfect, Dublin is a pretty city with grand people and we spended the most of the time doing things like to walk around the city to visit the National Museum, Trinity College Library and Malahide’s Castle and village. We also have met friends like: Eoin and Linda, Vincent (Rob’s brother), Paul (I missed seeing Liz who was in London), Anto, Mahony and Dave (with his snakes, a chilean spider, one lagart and his music).
We made many photos, so if you want to take a look…
Anyway…
It was brilliant as well to find the great child inside us…laught and shout out loud and to discover that for fun and friendship, the time hasn’t passed by.

At Malahide’s Castle playground

I’m in Ireland…in Dublin, 45 Foxhill avenue where our friend Rob lives.
Since past friday, we’re passing nice days here with David. Everyone here is very friendly and they’re doing their best to make us feel at home.
I’ve to work my pronunciation, my english grammar, my vocabulary and my knowledge about irish history. But anyway, I’m learning a lot and I love this feeling, you know…it gives sense to our trip.

ABOUT HISTORY:
At the main street of the center of Dublin, you can still see the bullets from the popular revolution that started the easter sunday the year 1916. It happened at O’Connell street, and the bullets are in the columns on the entrance of the building where the General Postal Office is. More about the civil war, at the wikipedia (like usual).
After the revolution, from November 1920 till July 1921, irish and british armys fought till irish soldiers obtain the liberty from England for their land. After the british-irish war, there was an ageement where Ireland will be declared free but they’d had to recognize the british crown as the leader of their own government and some of the irish people did not want to, and there was why it begans the conflict of the civil war that lasted until may 1923.

ABOUT MUSIC!
I think one image is better than tons of words…so, here are the best irish dancers, his name is Michael Flatley and she’s Jean Butler. Enjoy it:

More about Michael Flately at youtube

ABOUT THE WEATHER:
Is real weird…some times it is sunny even in winter, but suddenly it changes and becames rainy and really windy. Today I was walking with the wind on my back and didn’t make an effort to walk down the street, while the wind was pushing me. I don’t have pictures neither videos about that, but I’m gonna try to do some photos tomorrow. Anyway, I did some pictures yesterday’s afternoon and I’ve posted them in my flickr account, so if you want to meet Rob, or to see me & my coffee you can.

Llegó la Loli de Chile, vino Pepe desde Burriana (Castellón-Valencia) y además, nos hizo muy buen tiempo. Todo se dió para que diésemos un par de vueltas por ahí: el parque del buen retiro el jueves 12 que fué festivo, Talamanca y Patones de arriba el sábado 14. Hay fotos en Flickr.
