now it's definitive, there's a fixed date... the 4th of may will mean the end of erasmus as i now it, everything will change...
i knew this would probably be the most difficult thing i'll have to do at the end of this year, it's just that i didn't expect it to be so early! but it's for a good reason...
so good luck, though you don't need it! you can achieve whatever you want, i knew it...
and don't be sad, we'll also try not to... what we have lived here must weight much more than the fact of leaving, so the only thing left to do is smile!
"whatever tomorrow brings i'll be there, with open arms and open eyes..."
to be continued.... . . .

time and again
you all know i have a very bad memory for small things (specially after parties :P), but there are certain things i never forget, no matter how much time goes by. certain dates, an image of an instant, a smell, a song, a place, a phrase...
and probably it's difficult to see from the outside that it's like that, because i might seem not to care much, but nothing further from that.
sorry for being a disaster sometimes, for not writing or being in touch as i should, but please believe me when i say it doesn't mean i forgot.
once you got a place in my life, a piece of my mind, you'll never "lose" it.
e come sempre sei la descrizione di un attimo per me...
ps: another sundby-song :)

end of holidays, and antonio's visit!
again too late, but this time i have excuse i swear, i haven't stopped!
we started april with a good surprise: 2 extra days of holiday, so 2 weeks on the whole! but anyway we worked a bit befor starting the course, to be able to defend the idea of making our project together (this term is supposed to be individual). and i still continued going late to sleep and so on...
it was also the week i recovered the faith in my possibilities of learning swedish. i explain. the week before many people from another class came to ours, and i had a long and funny conversation (in swedish!) with some of them. then i met one of this guys again on thursday in cafe bojan and he tried to persuade me to go the next week to his class, that i would see it's more fun, and not so hard. so i did! i went on tuesday. and it's definitely better than mine, i could understand almost everything! so i came back home so happy...
and on wednesday we completed the "process". we met some people from sundby with heidi to have a beer and speak in swedish (they started with this the week before, nice idea), and at first i went just to listen, but then i found out i could actually say something, so again happy :)
by the way, earlier on wednesday we began our classes. as usual everyone else in the class just went on talking about "deep" thoughts, and we were the only ones that had worked the days before and had something.
and at night, after the swedish meeting, we went to have dinner at alberto's, that he prepared gnoccis for all, yummy! and just note an odd moment, sending sms within the people that were there, very funny :P
*it's not the first time we have a similar situation, it's what happens when you have free sms... haha
and again going to sleep when i shouldn't, so i overslept and couldn't pick up antonio in the centre, but he knows how to come to sundby :P he stayed until sunday night this time.
we had lunch, then a long sobremesa with the girls, and a long walk all around södermalm. after that a nice dinner with a long deep talk... and the spinach quiche!!! :P
then we went to cafe bojan, where we met the other sundby people (amongst others). and a night full of stories... several comments about everyone and everything :P, an unnecessary discussion that ended up in a bigger upset than it should :(, odd situation going outside to smoke, a stupid mistake when coming in, then this feeling of not being able to wait to be back home (or maybe just not wanting :P), the funny ending songs of every thursday (but this time with portuguese karaoke), waiting for the bus with a strange english-swede-whatever, and some confessions in between, a lot of disgusting jokes along the way to sundby, holding hands, funny videos, and some more karaoke back in sundby...
highlights of the night:
a cafe bojan classic! :D
and portuguese karaoke in sundby!
friday (4th) i had to go to class, almost without sleeping, and "our guests" joined us for lunch at school (important event, maite cooked :D and great, btw). a hot chocolate in kungstradgarden, in a terrace! a walk, and going to try to sleep for a while. and later we joined andrea and her friends in the centre for dinner, finally the creperie!
*since the beginning of april is as if the city had come back to life. all the terraces open again, people everywhere in the street, summer timetables starting again... and of course so many hours of daylight!
on saturday, more sightseeing, but this time i also discovered new things! we went to the television tower, the highest view you can get of stockholm, and so nice to sit there with your coffee, the music, the sun, the views... :)
at night we all went to ace. we were so many people! 24 from sundbyberg, and then we met there a lot of people from kungshamra and skrapan :D and, as always in ace, it was great!
and then a bit of a blue moment coming back home, but trying to give support in this situations i think it brings you closer to people, at least i felt like that after that day... i hope i was useful!
so another day without sleeping much, because on sunday we woke up quite early to go to vaxholm, a town in the archipielago. we spent the day there and came back by boat :)
*very strange that just the wind on the face made me feel exactly like the day we went to grinda, in august...
at night we organised a dinner in the terrace, and then stayed with a guitar concert by alberto :P
and a long long night, talking a lot, finding out even more, trying to sort out, a trip to t-centralen at 4:30 am, and arriving home much later (i had a deal...).
monday (7th) back to real life, all day working. but it's always nice to work with these people :)
during all the week the "base" was at maite's, we had everything really well settled!
and tuesday all day at school, and wednesday and thursday all day working as well. we wanted to have a really good proyect and a lot of work to show everyone that the idea of making the proyect together was not an excuse to work less...
by the way, in between my computer problems started, the first and second blue screens appeared.
and on tuesday night we organised a family dinner at home to say goodbye to andrea, that was leaving to barcelona for some days. after that i had a long and nice conversation with igor in the corridor (i missed that!), and then "killed time" until andrea had to leave. i went with her to the bus stop, and it was snowing! the 8th of april! so there we were, singing stupid songs and dancing in the snow :P
(oh, and watching the snow until late again, i missed that too! :D)
*my continuous lack of sleep (i was around 15 days sleeping no more than 5 hours) was starting to be quite visible by then...
but i could do nothing! either sightseeing or working during the day, and always something to do at night that kept me from going to sleep early, so...
on wednesday (9th) night we gathered at my place for our swedish meeting, many people this time! and later also "non-swedish speakers" came, and one thing led to another and... another 516 party finally :)
some highlights again!
a 516 party without this is not the same :P
and pedro singing this, of course! XD

el tiempo no pasa para todo el mundo
hoy me he re-enamorado otra vez, de alguien de quien suelo hacerlo cada cierto tiempo, unax ugalde :P
bromas aparte*, he visto por fin bailame el agua, que llevaba años queriendo verla...
hoy he puesto parte de la banda sonora, esta canción de los secretos.
*pero si alguien le conoce que me lo presente! :D

if i don't laugh, i'll cry!
this beautiful screen appeared again today, the third time in less than one week, and after formating the computer twice, reinstalling all the drivers, scanning all my external devices, and not plugging anything else in my computer...
so, this is a challenge for engineers! any ideas?

- ok, i'll leave you then, i'll go back to my room...
... oh, surprise!
[...]
standing at the door, waiting to go in, and the 2 girls inside...
- take that face off, be serious, they will make jokes with you if they see you like that... come on, it can't be so difficult... ok, no way, i'll go in anyway and they just can say whatever, i don't care :)

winter solstice... in spring
i don't think the longest night of the year is the 22nd of december. probably it was yesterday...

easter week 1, easter week 2
strange weeks. frst one everyone was on holiday except architects, but we actually behaved as if we were! and then it was our actual holiday week, but without moving from stockholm.
and so many things have happened. probably even more emotionally, so when i think in one or two weeks ago it seems ages...
- on sunday (16th) not much, i needed to sleep, rest... but at night jana invited all of us to dinner. she cooked for all, and delicious as always! (thanks again jana!) we were too many people to go inside someone's flat, so we just organised the dinner in the 2nd floor's corridor! it was not the first time they did it, but it was for me, really funny to see...
then we went on with our gaming tradition, but i couldn't stay long, i was too tired :( i just went a while with the portuguese, that had also invited for dinner, and home.
- but fully back to life on monday (17th). just to waste ourselves again at night :P sangria party! to try our new cumbres de gredos (as good as always, we are so proud, haha). and we stayed until victor's friends had to leave :( and another necessary talk (sincere and revealing, though, i learned a lot), and watch the snow falling until dawn...
*just a short reflexion here... it's very nice to meet your friends' friends, it helps you understand a bit more about their lives, and you get to know very interesting people. and better the more time you spend with them. but then you really feel it when they leave. it's a strange feeling, because you know that you're probably not going to see them again, even if you know it's people with whom you could get along well, and any intention of getting again in contact would seem nonsense. but... it's like that. and i'm not saying this now just for victor's friends, but also for andrea's, maite's, alberto's...*
- back again on tuesday 18th, i thought it was going to be everything white after all the night snowing, but not so! btw, it has been all the week so cold! -7º, -12º... and not so much snow on the ground, but frozen so it stays, and it's quite slippery :$ so what better than staying at home! i just went out to the swimming pool, and at night we organised a "meeting" to discuss about our easter trip, and although it seemed we were never going to decide, we did! (whatever happened finally is another story)
and a film all together in my place, and... not going to bed, but talking. one of those close conversations. and not sleeping either that day, kind of nervous. this damned insomnia it's going to bring me crazy...
- so when i was supposed to go to class on wednesday (19th), i hadn't been able to fall asleep yet :$ so up side down day. anyway, and maybe because of this, it was the "bubble" day i wrote about the snow, the walk and so on...
at night we had a dinner in lukas's (btw, with victor's new friends, that had just arrived and stayed one week) and then we went to allhuset, with its wonderful dj :P
and as i had got up late, i couldn't go to sleep early, again. so i waited, chatted, watched the snow again... :)
- and thursday (20th) was one of the best days in stockholm, and not only because spring started! it was a very special day for the girls. andrea, maite, rosa, belen and me. we organised a very nice lunch, and afterwards an event we had been waiting for since august: dawson's creek's 4 final chapters! everything well prepared and planned, we even disconnected the doorbell :P and when it finished, a bottle of white wine to cheer, and a kind of party. you might not understand, but it was very special to share that moment, for what it meant, what it represented :) we just missed laia, but she "was" with us!
at night the girls didn't want to go out, but i did. and i explained everyone why it was our special day, so we knew it was my night! we went to have some drinks in lukas´s and to vanilla club. we didn't stay long because it was quite empty, but the way back home was sooo funny! i liked that :)
we came back to lukas´s but didn't stay so long. it was funny that we had a "room-rearrangement", so half of us slept somewhere else! oh, and i did finally sleep, no room for nerves i guess...
- on friday we took it a bit slower. it was a strange day, too much of thinking maybe, but at night we watched a film in victor's, and it was just the perfect one for our mood, at least for andrea and me, we came back so happy home...
and later just a good night hug to go to sleep feeling better about everything...
- saturday 22nd, pillow fight! organised in several cities around the world, and here it was in sergels torg. so funny! we then went to have a coffee, and home.
and i finally changed my hair! purple and green-turquoise this time!
so surprise for everyone when i appeared later... we went to have some drinks in alex's, and we planned to go to grand garbo, but people under 23 couldn't go in, so we went to the hellsbar instead. and cute moments with my people, close conversations, silly looks and lots of joking. the night started sooo well... that i couldn't imagine it was going to go wrong, but it did. we went to lukas´s to continue with the party, but then i heard (and saw) something i didn't want to hear :( sorry for those i worried, and thank you for reminding me what we have here in sundby, we are family!
- on sunday i went for a walk with maite in sundby, and we bought "all" the coop, haha. so happy! so many red spots! :P
and then i think we all needed a family dinner, so we went to igor's. and it was really nice, even with crepes! (congratulations diego!)
- and we didn't do much the next day either (24th). we had to work a bit and then went to the second floor corridor for our gaming tradition, and to finish the sangria!
and then back to watching the snow late at night. cold outside, warmth inside. restored the previous situation...
- so the next day i skipped sigtuna, but joined for a coffee and chocolate cake with victor's friends! and coming back just in time for a wonderful dinner gerard's parents prepared for all of us, to meet us. mum´s food, and tipically spanish, so nice!
then we had a meeting in the corridor (odd situation, even more when victor started giving excuses in english to gerard's mum!), and we ended up playing cards in the elevator, even with chairs! such things can only happen here... haha.
- wednesday (26) morning, special breakfast to celebrate lukas's birthday! he was too german for us, he arrived too early for the surprise :P sorry about that! but it was nice anyway...
then a pleasant walk with maite, along the north west part of södermalm, going a bit through the north pole :P (we had this joke because it was all white and frozen, even with stalactites hanging from the rocks!). i then joined victor and friends to visit the architecture museum, and have a swedish lunch in östermalm's market.
we came home just to get the swedish books and go to class. everyday more exasperating! but i'll try...
back at home we invaded lukas's place to give him his present and be with him in his day! we stayed until victor's friends had to leave. then a round of good night kisses, and that was it.
- thursday was a bit frustrating. last attempt to try to make the trip, but it failed. and general indecision really got on my nerves. thanks that i found a calming oasis around, perfect moment, or quite a long while in fact :)
but at night i pushed myself to go out, and we went to cafe bojan. alberto, lukas and me, precisely the three most disappointed about the trip. but we had our trip to universitetet! the tunnelbana the best part, i told you, so funny... (thank you guys!) then we met everyone else in cafe bojan, and we had a lot of fun. and i saw some people i hadn't seen in ages, so happy! then the way back home was also funny, so many people coming together to sundby... we went a while to pedro's when we arrived, but not much. a while more at home, and then to sleep. great night, it was such a good idea to go out!
- on friday (28th) after lunch we went for a walk to stockholm. we walked along half södermalm and half kungsholmen, so by the time we had dinner we were starving! but after a perfect walk, what better than a perfect dinner? and completely satisfied and happy, back to sundby to watch a film.
i went to bed surprisingly early, but i was woken up afterwards, you know i can't just sleep normally one night... :$
- saturday 29: there was a metal festival in vallentuna, but before we gathered here to try andrea's -successful- experiment! then a 1 hour trip, a beer hiding from the ticket inspector, and a half-empty concert, but great! the place was incredible, a "youth house" so big, so well prepared. and the groups were good in fact! just 2 of them were a bit too strong for us, but sounded good still. and 1 litre coffees, a cosy corner...
back to stockholm and, although half of the group decided to go home, we didn't. lukas, alberto, heidi and me went to ace, and there we met 3 other friends from lappis! i really had fun, thank you for that night!
- and to finish our holidays as it deserved, on sunday (30th) we burned the last round. we first went walking from sundbyberg to karlberg along the lake shore, with really nice weather and views.
we came back and had a nice dinner here at home. and then went to prepare all the calimotxo for the 100 minutes game... part II: the revenge! this time it was "professional style", with music in the backround, the drinks already prepared, much better organised...
and what else can i say, you can only understand it if you live it! just say whoever cleans the terrace will be happy when he/she sees it...
as for me, i did my part! i had these feminine supporters cheering me up, and i couldn't deceive them! :P
and a sweet moment with andrea playing cinderella, crazy things you wouldn't consider in normal situations... and who knows what more we can't remember!
*btw, how exciting going back to the terrace!*
and so many things have happened. probably even more emotionally, so when i think in one or two weeks ago it seems ages...
- on sunday (16th) not much, i needed to sleep, rest... but at night jana invited all of us to dinner. she cooked for all, and delicious as always! (thanks again jana!) we were too many people to go inside someone's flat, so we just organised the dinner in the 2nd floor's corridor! it was not the first time they did it, but it was for me, really funny to see...

then we had a meeting in the corridor (odd situation, even more when victor started giving excuses in english to gerard's mum!), and we ended up playing cards in the elevator, even with chairs! such things can only happen here... haha.
- wednesday (26) morning, special breakfast to celebrate lukas's birthday! he was too german for us, he arrived too early for the surprise :P sorry about that! but it was nice anyway...
then a pleasant walk with maite, along the north west part of södermalm, going a bit through the north pole :P (we had this joke because it was all white and frozen, even with stalactites hanging from the rocks!). i then joined victor and friends to visit the architecture museum, and have a swedish lunch in östermalm's market.
we came home just to get the swedish books and go to class. everyday more exasperating! but i'll try...
back at home we invaded lukas's place to give him his present and be with him in his day! we stayed until victor's friends had to leave. then a round of good night kisses, and that was it.
- thursday was a bit frustrating. last attempt to try to make the trip, but it failed. and general indecision really got on my nerves. thanks that i found a calming oasis around, perfect moment, or quite a long while in fact :)
but at night i pushed myself to go out, and we went to cafe bojan. alberto, lukas and me, precisely the three most disappointed about the trip. but we had our trip to universitetet! the tunnelbana the best part, i told you, so funny... (thank you guys!) then we met everyone else in cafe bojan, and we had a lot of fun. and i saw some people i hadn't seen in ages, so happy! then the way back home was also funny, so many people coming together to sundby... we went a while to pedro's when we arrived, but not much. a while more at home, and then to sleep. great night, it was such a good idea to go out!
- on friday (28th) after lunch we went for a walk to stockholm. we walked along half södermalm and half kungsholmen, so by the time we had dinner we were starving! but after a perfect walk, what better than a perfect dinner? and completely satisfied and happy, back to sundby to watch a film.
i went to bed surprisingly early, but i was woken up afterwards, you know i can't just sleep normally one night... :$
- saturday 29: there was a metal festival in vallentuna, but before we gathered here to try andrea's -successful- experiment! then a 1 hour trip, a beer hiding from the ticket inspector, and a half-empty concert, but great! the place was incredible, a "youth house" so big, so well prepared. and the groups were good in fact! just 2 of them were a bit too strong for us, but sounded good still. and 1 litre coffees, a cosy corner...
back to stockholm and, although half of the group decided to go home, we didn't. lukas, alberto, heidi and me went to ace, and there we met 3 other friends from lappis! i really had fun, thank you for that night!
- and to finish our holidays as it deserved, on sunday (30th) we burned the last round. we first went walking from sundbyberg to karlberg along the lake shore, with really nice weather and views.
we came back and had a nice dinner here at home. and then went to prepare all the calimotxo for the 100 minutes game... part II: the revenge! this time it was "professional style", with music in the backround, the drinks already prepared, much better organised...
and what else can i say, you can only understand it if you live it! just say whoever cleans the terrace will be happy when he/she sees it...
as for me, i did my part! i had these feminine supporters cheering me up, and i couldn't deceive them! :P
and a sweet moment with andrea playing cinderella, crazy things you wouldn't consider in normal situations... and who knows what more we can't remember!
*btw, how exciting going back to the terrace!*
100 minutes game... part II: the revenge!
