Dear “JACKBARAKAT”,
I’m glad you like my picture and all, and I don’t mind you destroying it with stupid blurry filters if you like it better that way, though and I REALLY don’t want people to think I actually did this… I don’t even mind you cutting my tag away without adding the source to the post, though it’s not really nice… BUT PLEASE, do not shamelessly put YOUR tag over it, it’s VERY disrespectful.
just stay informed. take in what you can from all sources and make decisions with your head and heart.
Thank you for reading this and doing further research about Invisible Children (IC) and KONY 2012. In response to this explosion of interest about the KONY 2012 film, there have been hundreds of thousands of comments in support of the arrest of Joseph Kony and the work of Invisible Children….
I swear in front of everyone, one day I will do it ! Might start keeping money for this, I guess.
I don’t know if some of you guys follow my post but I still keep posting just in case…
Well, as the tittle says, I’ve got some change of plans for my future. No more Australia & au pair thing, hello studies ! Yeah, after a looooooong talk with my parents we conclued it’s better to me to finish my studies before taking a year off as an au pair.
So next year = maybe Paris (I do really hope so) for my master & I’m gonna share a flat with one of my best friends (and maybe another good friend but that’s not sure). I can’t wait to be next year. I’ll in Paris, close to my friends & my family !!! It’s gonna be awesome !!
Before this big adventure, I’m gonna visit during the summer one of my best friend (<3) in California. I can’t bloody wait to see her !!!! I miss her so bad :( We’re gonna spend our holidays together =D
And then, I’m gonna visit another friend in Poland, I’ve never been there, it’s gonna be interesting ! We’re gonna spend some days at hers & then we’re gonna drive to Czech Republic to visit some friends of us (:
I can’t wait to be this summer !!! But before all these amazing plans, I have to study & success in my exams… Wish me luck !

Hey peeps, it’s been a while ! Well, I don’t know if someone will read my text but anyway I need to confess about something very important to me.
Last week, I took a big decision. Lemme explain you. Now, I’m in Spain doing my third year of studies & next year I’d like to be an au pair in a English country to improve my English. At the beginning, I wanted to go to Canada, because I do love this country, I’ve been there last year & that was amazing (I can’t wait to go back there!). But then I was speaking with one of my best friend & she said she was going to Australia next year, just to take a year off & I said to myself “why not Australia?”. Then I started thinking about it, I made some researches about the country & the visa etc. I realized that if I want to go to Canada as an au pair, I need a PVT (visa for work) and this is a problem to me, because in the future I’d like to live in Canada and maybe work there, so I need this PVT. And the thing is, I don’t want to “loose” the chance to live in Canada, just because I’d have my PVT to do au pair. So after some researches, I found that I need a PVT too to do au pair in Australia, I said to myself “that’s great! I can use this PVT to do au pair, I don’t mind because I don’t want to live there, so that’s perfect”. And yeah, the decision was taken, next year I’m going to Australia, well, I’m gonna do my best to go there. I have to pass several test before being accepted, but that’s ok, I’ve got my friends with me, they support me, they help in everything, so I really hope it’s gonna work.
When you read “Australia”, it’s seems scary, because it’s really far away from Europe, it’s a big thing to “move” there, I know it’s gonna be hard the first week, but I’m ok. I want to travel the world, discover countries, cultures, so I need to take risks. One of my best friends went to Australia last year & she had the best time of her life, so I’m ok. Plus another best friend of mine will be in Australia too, not maybe in the same town, but she’ll be there, so if I’ve got the blues, I can still visit her.
But now, there is a hard part left: tell my parents I want to go to Australia. It’s gonna be quite hard, they’re gonna be a bit mad at me, because I want to go far away, but I’m gonna explain us all the reasons & I really hope they’ll understand me. I really need their support…
Ok, on that post, I let you guys. See ya later.
Do you remember this promise you made with your best friend when you were at school ?
“we’ll be the best friends of the world”
Do you remember this feeling of happiness you felt at this moment ? Do you remember all these awesome moments spent together ? Yeah, you do ?! Great thing. Now, look at your back & tell me if she/he’s still there.
For me, she’s not here anymore. I’ve had some rough times with my exs best friends when I was at school. Now, I don’t believe in the “best friends thing”. It doesn’t make sense to me. I can’t have just ONE best friends, I have some many (well, not that much, but anyway) great friends that I can’t choose just a person to be my best friend. Well, I could but I’m too scared of not “being” her/his best friend, so I prefer saying “I don’t have a bff”.
That’s the thing with friendship, you always feel insecure, well it’s my case. I always feel I’m not good enough to be friend with that person, that she/he doesn’t “like” me as much as I like her/him, that she/he considers me just like a mate.
Yeah there’s a HUGE difference between a mate & a friend. I mean. A mate is someone you appreciate, you can laugh with, someone from your sport class, etc. But you’ll never tell him/her your deepest secrets. A friend is someone you love, you can’t spend a day without talking to him/her, you could kill for her/him, you know/feel what happens on her/his mind without a word, he/she’s the only one who knows your fears, your deepest secrets, your “black” moments & will be always here to hold your hand. Yep, that’s the difference between a mate & a friend.
I love my friends. I truly do. I could do anything for them. But sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who misses them, like if I was just a mate, just a person they like but not very important in their life. I don’t blame them. We all have a life to live. I mean. I don’t want a big declaration of love from my friends, no, not at all, I can’t ask them that, it won’t be fair. All I’d “want” is just to feel peaceful about our friendship, not to worry about the “does she/he miss me ?” “am I only a mate ?” things.
Yeah I know, I ask a lot. But what do you want, insecurity makes part of me. I deal with it everyday. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don’t. I think there’s no way to feel “peaceful” about friendship, because you know, it’s not something stoical, it lives, it changes (in a good or bad way), it stops (sometimes unfortunately). All we can do, is just live & don’t think about what comes next (Carpe Diem). I know, easy to say, but not easy to do. But I love so much my friends to give up. So yeah, it won’t be easy but I’ll do my best for keeping my friends with me. I don’t promise it’ll work, but at least I’ll try.
“do you feel enough strong to fight for our friendship ?”
Me, I do.
Today, it’s been a month I’m in Spain. Time is so running out ! A lot of things’ changed.
I met some really interesting people, from all over the world. I spend my days speaking Spanglish, drinking sangria & hanging out. Yeah, sometimes I find the time to study, don’t worry.
I must confess my friends were right. They all told me, I’ll have the time of my life here & that’s quite the reality. I like being here. The food is good (but not really healthy), the city is beautiful, full of History, the Spanish are quite friendly, but they don’t really like meeting foreign people. Shame.
Anyway, I can’t wait to see what comes next !! I’ll finish this post saying that if you’ve got the opportunity to go abroad, just go, don’t think & say yes. That’s a big challenge but it’s totally worth it !
