The Feeling of Being Argentinian

 This blog is not related with football and I'm not an expert when talking about it but I do suffered the fever of the World Cup as much as the others countries around the world. As you may or may not know, today was the end of the matches and I can proudly say that my country, Argentina, got the second place while playing against Germany. So I want to dedicate this blog post as a gratitude one.

 A few months ago when people asked me if Argentina would have a chance to win the World Cup Brazil 2014, I firmly answered no but when it all started, my heart and soul went with my country and the hope was way too high that I almost could felt the cup in our hands.
 At the firsts matches, I didn't have a clue about the game as I don't like football at all but with my dad by my side explaining me and so many matches watched I was able to sit in front of the TV and shout to it when they were doing the things wrong. We played badly at first but we improved a lot and the last match we've played, was amazingly beautiful played, I was pleased with my boys.

 If you now ask me how do I feel, I'll answer with a simple sentence: I feel very proud. They did their best and played with their hearts,  we didn't have a lot of support from other countries, Brazil hates on us (and, as we like the "war", we hate on them too) and most of the South American countries supported Germany on the Final but the guys did their best and we're SO proud of them. And we also had David Beckham and his sons supporting us :D

 At the end of the match, when Germany was announced the winner of the World Cup Brazil 2014, Mascherano said that he (and the rest of the team) wanted to bring the cup to our country to make us happy, that it was so painful because they gave everything they had and that they felt sorry themselves and for us, the population but if I had him and all the team right in front of me I would tell them that it was enough, more than I could ever ask for. 

 I believe it's over understood that I'm very proud of my country and all of their effort, they've brought us happiness and I now it's only a game but it makes us became more united and that is one of the million things I'm thankful for.

 Thank you Lionel Messi, Sergio Agüero, Gonzalo Higuaín, Angél Di María, Marcos Rojo, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Fernando Gago, Sergio Romero, Javier Mascherano, Ezequiel Garay, Federico Fernández, Pablo Zabaleta, Maximiliano Rodríguez, Rodrigo Palacio, Lucas Biglia, Hugo Campagnaro, Martín Demichelis, Franco Di Santo, Ricardo Álvarez, José Basata, Enzo Pérez, Augusto Fernández, Agustín Orion and Mariano Andújar. Guys, you were flawless!

Banana & Mango Smoothie

I know it's not a very difficult recipe but it's something new I've done and I've never drank (or eaten) mango before! So, I had the excuse of writing a post for my blog to go to the greengrocer, buy some fresh fruit and make smoothies with my friend!


What you need (for two people and some more):
- 1 mango
- Juice from one orange
- 2 bananas
- 1/4 Cup of water (or milk, whatever is better for you)- Sugar as you want (it could be organic, I used common sugar)

 

(The girl on the right is my friend, Micaela; say hello Mics!!)

 All you need to do is put all the ingredients in a blender and blend blend blend! Until you get a smooth and orangy juice. You can also pour ice into the 'cocktail' or when you're blending all the ingredients together. I poured the juice into two glasses and let them cool for about half an hour or so, when I took them of the freezer, they looked like a very weird kind of ice cream! But they were delicious anyways, I dare you to give it a try!!

Goodbye and see you soon!

Veronika Decides to Die | Book Review

 What if you seriously want to die and you decide to commit suicide? What if you don't die at the first try? And, if you think you're passing away but when you wake up, you're not in Heaven or Hell but in the most recognized madhouse of the small town of Ljubljana? What about if you realize your life matters when you have your days counted and you think you can't do nothing to live?
 Veronika Decides to Die is a book written by Paulo Coelho where he makes you stop for a second and makes think over if you're enjoying your life or if you're living with a autopilot. At the back of the book, Paulo give us a little summary of what the book is about and quoting it, it says: "Veronika Decides to Die proposes that in every single second of our existence we have the option of choosing to keep on going or give it up"

 The first time I read the book (50 pages as maximum) I was 13 or 14, I can't remember clearly. I liked it because I felt like a grown up, reading a book with difficult words, metaphors I couldn't even understand and written by a well-known writer that my mom loves. I gave it up because it was too difficult and I wasn't interested at all. 4 or 3 years later, with 16 years old (turning 17 soon, just saying!) I decided to read it again and discover if Veronika dies at the end or not. But I found myself wondering what's the sense of life and it surprised me when reading I felt identified with the characters (no, I have not tried to commit suicide, I mean the way they think and see life). I'm so obsessed with it now because it helped me realize that life is about the little things, like reading a nice book, writing a emotional song, learn to play an old instrument, help others, etc. And I know I'm just 16 now but I'm not 100% of the time thinking of boys, parties and makeup, I like to think about life, my future, others and this book helped me to realize that I'm maturing finally and I feel fine with myself now.

 It's not a miracle walker, it's just a book that made me think and realize things. It's nice, I love it and we all have different points of view so it's obvious that I learnt to have others perspectives and, if you read it, you're probably going to have differents points of view comparison with mines or Paulo's.
 But I do recommend it, Paulo is a person that makes you think and wonder without asking you questions, just with words and stories. It's lovely!

 I enjoyed writing this post and now I'm reading Looking For Alaska by John Green so, when I finish it, I'll do a review on it too! Read books kids, it's nice and the humanity needs more educated people! ;)

Goodbye and see you soon!

What is it all about?

(source)

 When I decided to start running a blog I chose to write about makeup and fashion, I was wishing to be like Zoella, Tanya Burr or Sprinkle Of Glitter, succeed and being recognized like them.
 But things took another way and now I find myself sort of confused about what I want to do with this blog. Well, not actually, I do know what I want to do. 

 I like makeup and fashion but I can't figure out myself doing reviews on beauty things because I know how useless I'm when it comes to recommend people the perfect moisturizer, eyeliner, shop where to buy nice leggings, etc.
 So, yesterday I ended a book I was reading (I'm thinking of doing a review of it soon, oops) and it took me a whole book of 200 and something pages to realize the sense of life. For me now, it's the simple things and now I plan to enjoy the simple things that my life has to offer me. Why I am telling you it? Because I want you to know what's going on in my life, what are my interests, where did I go last weekend, what I was wearing, what is my favourite makeup product, how my dog is doing and if I have flu.

 It's bit stupid being here sitting in my bedroom, writing about something that probably no one cares about but I feel like having to do it. Since my first post, I was always caring on what were people going to think about what I'm writing, if they were going to like it or not, or if it was worth to tell. Now I don't care anymore, this is my blog and I'm going to blog about whatever I'm interesting in. If people enjoy it, then hello! We can be best friends if you want to; if people don't enjoy it, you can go find another blog where your interests are fulfill. Luckily, we all have the right of freedom.

 So tell me now, do I count you in?
