time to leave is getting nearer and I'm really enthusiast.
my parents were less enthusiast when I broke the news to them, but who cares. I HAD to go and I'm going.
I payed the school, I have my homestay family (actually, my homestay single woman, an italian+piano teacher that sounds really good), I know what I want to see and where I want to go. great!

in the meantime, my nephew giosuè turned 3, on the same day when matsujun-san turned 26. this is something, isn't it? no, it isn't.

I also found a job as an "ice-creamer". I guess this is no english word, but sounds good and funny. so, till the end of september I have this occasion to make some more money to spend in japan.
but I'm not so sure anymore about my trip to okinawa. I WANT to go, I want it so bad, but plane fares are more expensive than I thought. F**K!!!! I hope giusy, my ex-collegue from the travel agency, will help me find a solution. I have much faith in her ability!

what else? jang, my korean friend from santiago days, eventually sent me an e-mail and I was really happy, because this means he received my postcards. I didn't have much faith in my korean handwriting and I feared the postman couldn't understand the address.

my friend ceci left to tuebingen and it was really hard to separate. me and the anonymous friend went to the train station to say goodbye and tried to cheer her up. I hope she makes thousands of new friends.

sooooo... nothing more I guess.

and still, who cares??!!

well well...

not that anyone cares about my posts, but I thought of updating a bit...

I walked and walked and walked in Spain, and finally I got to Santiago. I laughed and cried a lot, especially on the last few days. I met this nice guy. a bit slow, let's say... it was like: I know you like me, you know I like you... so?! no, clearly we were both too shy! haha! I need a more shameless one... hahaha!

apart from this, I met many other nice people, and in the end I got so used to walking I didn't want to come back.

but back I came, I felt a bit lost for some days, and in a way I still feel, but everything around me goes on in the same old style and I have to ride the tide... (uhn???!!!)
so, back to saturday's aperitif, back to swimming-pool at franz's, back to cooking lunch for my sister's family (.......), back to usual summer in montorio...

well, I also had a short trip to tuebingen with my friend cecilia who was looking for a room for her erasmus time. I quite enjoyed it, though I would have preferred to stay at home and save some money for japan! hahaha!

anyway, I sent the application forms for language course and homestay. now I only hope italian post service won't loose it... that's what you always deal with when you send something around here....

that's all.

¡hola!

still walking, many blisters under my feet, many new friends in such a short time.

there are some crazy people round here.
last night we did logroño-najera (28 km), leaving at 10:30 pm because it was supposed to be a bright, full moon night.
but it wasn't at all. in the end we were so cold and tired (with the 20 km of the morning we just had 50 km in a day!! with no spleep!!) that we stopped in a village and we slept in the garden of the church. I had no sleeping bag, so I shared one with a bizarre german girl, but at least I wasn't all that cold.

I'm seeing lots of wonderful fields and woods and tiny old villages with horrible shacks and wonderful churches one close to the other, and rivers and lakes and hills, and big white clouds in the sky, I'm really happy.

I just miss my clothes, face masks and tv dramas sometimes...
I need to resist for 3 other weeks!!

giada, ti prego, non ti impalare più!

well, after only 3 days, that's quite obvious!!!

but we have already had our troubles all the same...
like we missed our plane in london, had to buy a new ticket and change our plans...
today, after the first day of walking, I am EXHAUSTED!

oh god, the time for internet is nearly over...
next time I will write something more detailed...
for now: I SUFFER A LOT!!!!

ok, I know everybody already knows, at least everybody in my friends' list.
I'm leaving tomorrow and coming back in a month's time, hopefully... who knows... U____U
haha! ok, ok, you're tired by this joke, but I still think it, no mater what! (per fortuna che la ceci ieri sera non mi ha dato fuoco, comunque..)
it will be really challenging. for my spirit, of course, and for my body too. (specialmente per lo stato di degrado in cui verserò al ritorno) but I'm happy to leave.
at least, I will be slim and tanned and I will have a lot of anecdotes when I will be in Japan! haha! (well, I still have to spend august and september here in Verona, but I hope that won't ruin me... >____<)
I'll try to keep everybody updated, and I'll take as many good pictures as I can, and post them on deviantArt when I'm back to share a bit of my holiday with you.

prometto di non convertirmi al fanatismo cattolico lungo la via. per altri fanatismi... beh, sapete che non garantisco...

bye!

ok, right, first I will post the pics from the concert. just a couple. they are super bad. and the videos... err... "unshowable", if this has a meaning. most of them are me singing desperately and a big noise from the stage, and dave moving in the distance, and wonderful background images.

I post the pics just to make Ilaria laugh. quindi ridi, stronza!


hahaha!!!!
horses on our way to milan. right, meaningless.

uhm... the song here was.... Ila, help me! walking in my shoes?
by the way, where are my ULTRA and SOFAD cds???

home. a magic moment! and one of the worst videos, I was singing so loud, and everybody around me was singing too.

ok, right, so, the end of my concert report is quite embarassing.

the fact is that many more events are happening.
first of all, the homestay family I contacted can't host me. bad.
because they're having a baby. good for them! ^___^
then, I'm leaving in less than a week. I'm fed up with waiting, I just want to leave, and then I don't care how it will go. I only hope to find a few internet points on the road to keep up with the news.
last, but not least, I just read some news about arashi's cd and concerts this summer-fall-winter...

YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!
and now I'm gonna NOT sleep all night. I SO want to go! it would be my once in a lifetime chance!
(amica elefante, lo so cosa stai pensando, non rompere i maroni!!!!!! >___<)
really, I need to go, just to have the ticket for my collection. and to buy some goodies with jun's face for my (anonymous) friend...

OH GOD! oh god, please, listen to your humble servant, let me go! get me a ticket!

I'm gonna die.

by "hell" I mean Milan. I hate that city. well, if I have to drive... (by subway it's definitely better!)

yesterday I left work 2 hours earlier to drive all the way to San Siro stadium to see DEPECHE MODE!
and obviously I got lost on my way there. I cried and I yelled, I got hysteric, I threatened other drivers... Milan's streets are... like... SATAN... and what's worse is that it was all my fault because Ilaria's father gave us perfect indications about the road, and I mistook right at the crucial point.

well, in the end, most of the people were still outside when we got there, we missed the first couple of songs, we unintentionally splitted in two groups (and I spent all the time in fear that the other two girls were blocked outside the stadium), but we were IN and that was all that counted.
we were a bit far, our "neighbours"  were a bit of a pain in the ass, but we just ignored them and sang and danced like crazy, and totally enjoyed it!

I think I will post some pics and crappy videos, so I avoid descriptions. (martin's clothes ar undescribable, anyway...)

after the concert, we gave a lift to a couple of friends, and we had to go through Milan, and despite the fact that streets were quite empty at 1 in the morning, we still managed to lose like a hour thanks to f******* traffic lights and nonsense crossroads.
I was at home at 4, quite desperate, and this morning I'm a total zombie.

but who cares, dave is worth all this! ^_____^

Happy birthday Ninomiya-san!

(and I still don't know why he's my favourite...)

...and I need to make some friends! ahah! I'm looking for good communities to join, but maybe I make bad use of key-words in my researches, as I never really find what I wish...

next I think I will look for an air-conditioners'-loathers-community, as I got a cold at work, despite wrapping myself up in a scarf all the time. I hate air-conditioning. if I have to get ill every time, I think I prefer to sweat all summer long!!! (not very elegant, but much healthier. you even get rid of toxines this way! ^__^ )

today I feel like I should REALLY go for a walk, as Santiago is approaching, and the 25km walk that we planned to do yesterday eventually failed (not my fault! and I'm also quite disappointed)
but, "tutto considerato", I think I will just stay here, sunbathe a bit, then watch tv dramas... ahaha! my friend ilaria gave me some new subbed episodes of Smile! and The Quiz Show, I have a lot to watch. I love fansubbers, they are crazy and I love them!

there's also Moto GP this afternoon...uhmmmm... such a good day!

and depeche mode are approaching! yay!!!

Hello. It's my first post so it's obviously meaningless.
I'm not very sure about how LJ works, so I'm testing... haha!

I decided to start this blog because this year many things are going to happen, and I need to keep in touch with my friends.
But, more than this, I hope to find many new friends with whom I can share my interests. (ok, right, this is exactly what everyone says...)
And other stuff....

Well, I guess it's enough as a start...
