The other day... Today

The other day for dinner, I wore my nice trousers - the ones that make my bum look good, I had my nice black top that has good cleavage - but not too much. It showed my tattoo. I had a nice new necklace on. I had my hair down. And it was black so went well with my tanned skin. - I felt pretty.

Today that feeling is gone.

meh

Well, I feel like I should write an update of some sort... Though there isn't much to say!

(I plan to write some more informative posts, but right now I really can't be arsed)

-It's warm here - very
-we had some clouds for like An hour, but really little ones.
-There was a security guard lady person today, going round and round the same area as if protecting something or someone.. and it's not the hotel, tis a private company - maybe there's someone important in this hotel
-some people here have absolutely no manners

I always have crushes on the wrong people
...
..
.

Hot/Attractive people..

...Don't realise the pressure they put on other people.

Being here in the Canary Islands, there are a lot of Spaniards, of which tall, muscly, in swimsuits, tanned guys, who are, well, very easy on the eyes :)
But I just can NOT bring myself to even go to the pool when they are there, because it makes me feel like I'm huge (and fugly)
Also, I get the feeling that attractive people know that they are, and are oblivious to the others around them, whom they judge.
I mean, I've been sunbathing and then skinny, tanned, attractive girls walk by and yeah.. It's just rather unpleasant.

Random note - there was a massive cockroach stuck in the bath plug. It must have tried to crawl out of the plug and got stuck half way, meaning that the top part of it was sticking out, and it had it's little legs and whatnot waving about trying to get out - you could actually hear the tapping of it's legs.
Very creepy, considering it was the first cockroach I'd seen.

Random note 2 : everything on the laptop is in Spanish, rather quite fun.

Just a few words

So, first officially day in the hotel.

Yesterday, left the house at 3:15am, got to the airport at about 3:45am. Then by 4am we were in the waiting area for planes...
Got some breakfast (well, "breakfast", was a cup of coffee and a croissant). had to stay awake so that my mum could sleep.
Then at 5:45 we could start boarding the plane, we were all in buy 6:15 - bloody plane was packed!

Plane took off, and we were in the skies! I fell asleep and woke up at 7:30.. then we were brought breakfast - not the nicest of things! but hey, better than nothing.
Then just kept falling asleep for 20minutes here, 10minutes there - not very nice, very uncomfortable, boiling hot, not much room!

At 9:25 (local time, so 10:25 Belgian time)
Stopped off in Lanzarote for about 30minutes, to refuel the plane and let some passengers off and some more on.

Then 10:20 we took off again for another 40minutes. I slept pretty much the whole time.

Arrived at the airport - it only has one strip! and my the island is just a massive rock! it's so dry!

then got on a bus - the usual "tourist" bus. And it took over an hour to get to our hotel. we had to cross the island! we had to go so high in the mountains we were ABOVE clouds, I mean, WOW!!!

The hotel is really nice.
We went to have lunch and it was practically empty.
though most people in the hotel are Spanish, so I assumed they were still at the pool and whatnot, as Spaniard tend to have their meals late and then take a nap.
Other than Spaniards, lots of Germans, and a few flemish.

Anyway, so back to the room, get our bearings and all, change into swimsuits and off to the seaside (the one that is literally next to the hotel. You can sit on the terrasse for dinner and if you climbed over you'd a few metres away from the shoreline)
As the island is a volcanic one, the sand is black!
It was so bloody cold, but I only went in for about 10minutes. the current was just so strong! and the waves really big.
So instead, we went to one of the two pools, went in for about an hour.
Then shower, dinner, and bed! I mean, we hadn't been in a bed since Thursday night! and the only sleep we'd had was a couple of hours on a plane! so not the best of sleep.

Now, today, haven't yet been to the pool, the tour guide lady person from the company we booked came and so we were told about stuff around the island.
I want to go visit one of the volcanoes, but it's far, it takes about 8hours, and I'm sooo tired!!

The reception area has wireless internet (just got it 3weeks ago!) so as my mum brought her laptop, I'm in the reception area at the moment, sitting at a table with a bottle of coke light and the pretty pretty laptop!

Also, I'm sick of there being so many hot (tanned)spanish guys and hot (tanned)spanish girls. Just makes me feel so out of place. So ugly and fat.

Well, it's 13:40 right now. Lunch is from 13:00 to 16:00.
So I'm gonna go get my mum, so we can go to lunch, then take our time to change back into swimsuits and hopefully go swimming and hopefully tan!

Well, that's all for now, from La Palma.

I'm about to go on holiday (the taxi picks us up at 3am - in 3hours) and..

..I'm very very very very very stressed and nervous.
My mum is packing, so I don't actually know if the luggages are done - I took a shower.

I haven't eaten since... around 3ish (so not too long) but my mum and brother have had dinner.
I need to get my handluggage bag ready - just a book, camera, meds (I'm ill so yeah, need meds) and little things - that shouldn't take too long.

I need to tidy my room too! I mean, gah, it needs to be tidy so that it can be hoovered and all ...clean, as I'm going for two weeks.

My flight is at 6am, (I think) and it's like a 5-6hour flight. I'm PANICKING.
I plan to sleep in the plane, cause when you sleep, time seems to go faster (cause you sleep so aren't really aware of time going by, and so when you wake up it's later than.. than before. It makes sense in my mind)

I have to finish Purple Hibiscus before I leave. Yes that does only give me about 2hours to finish it,but hey, I have 25pages left!

I read about 120pages of it yesterday. and, I really like the book - Thanks Sue Sue

Anyway,
must get ready

Will be back in August.

another random update of random things you don't need to know

Well, not much to say, as not much has happened.

I went to the cinema the other day, watched "Seuls Two" with Eric et Ramzy - not a great film, kind of funny but it gets kinda tiresome I think...

Been inside the house, doing nothing much, as usual on holidays. Plus with all the rain it's kinda hard to go out and do stuff..

Today I received in the mail my order off amazon : The Marilyn Manson book " long hard road out of hell" and a CSI video game.
The book I have not yet started as I'm still reading "Purple Hibiscus".
The game, I started at about 9pm, and have already finished it.. hehe, mind you it wasn't too hard!

And I've realised that I have to go shopping! I need to buy stuff because I'm going on holiday!
In a week I leave for the Canary Islands for two weeks - means I need lots of summer clothes and swimsuits and various other..summery things.

But I've been distracted by lovely tv and books and random things which are trivial.
Such as that the other day my brother and I found an egg in the garden. A cute small round white egg which felt full. I imagine there was a little baby bird of some sort inside, so I took some leaves and made a small nest type thing (to keep it warm) and put it back where I had found it, because maybe a mummy bird had put it there and was going to come back to get it (mind you what do I know about birds eh?) and now it's no longer there - I like to think that it was taken back or hatched or something - but that it lives.
Also, I got bored, so watched the Italian Job (the modern version) - and I love it!
And, I re watched (about 3times) The Mean Machine. It's such a good film, I love it! English films fucking rock!
The trailer is kinda shite (in my mind) but I do suggest that you watch the film. I think someone has put it up on youtube if ever you want.

(there's a moth in my room flying around in circles by the light. it's quite cute yet sad)

And to finish
my new favourite song at the moment.
Priscilla Ahn - Dream

Just a day I suppose

Well, I guess you could say today has been a constructive day - to a certain extent.

I've been up since 9h30 just doing stuff around the house, tidying, cleaning, more cleaning and gah, it's been exhausting, haven't been on my laptop aaaaall day!!!

It's also felt like a lonely day.. just.. no one except my family, and that..sucks! and as I've been away from my laptop haven't spoken to anyone.. and even now, no one is talking to me on msn!
Although, as I was tidying and cleaning in my room my dog came in and lay down and fell asleep, right in the middle of my room! twas so sweet!

So, a lonely day it has been, especially with the weather, so now I'm sat in bed, half asleep listening to music which reminds me of Ben Barnes.
Ah Ben Barnes! my new obsession!

"Infatuation is the state of being completely carried away by unreasoned passion or love; addictive love. It is characterized by urgency, intensity, desire, and/or anxiety, in which there is an extreme absorption in another."

I am definitely infatuated with Ben Barnes.

Anyway
I wish I could come up with more interesting things to write! like Esu's blog!
ah well - I'll improvise and try to make it interesting hehe (ideas welcome)

I want to read more!
At the moment I'm reading the book Esu bought for me "Purple Hibiscus". well, 'reading' as I started it a few days ago and have only read about 30pages! If I can stay awake for a bit I might try reading another 10 pages or so. It isn't much, but it's something, and reading is great!

Well, here we are,
no more to say
no more that comes to mind
I guess that's it for today
Tomorrow I'm (supposed) to be going shopping, so hopefully a better day


general mood : unsure
mood after seeing pictures of Ben Barnes : infatuated!!!!

Today, WOO BEN BAAAAAAAAARNES

And it was good to spend time with Esu and my lovely Wife.

Right now, I'm sat on my bed listening to music after having spent about an hour reading Esu's blog and commenting on the 3most recent posts.
There is a storm outside, lightening is insane, the thunder has been horrendous (in a kind of really cool way hehe) and it has scared my dog shitless
he's going around the house panting and shaking and crying - it's horrible!

I'm also going through pictures of Ben Barnes and saving them and just looking at him and wanting him to be miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine! all mine mine mine!

and Can't think of much more to write today
I'm sure I'll find something to write about tomorrow.
