Sad Love Story

" You gave me everything. Even if for a few months you gave me such a feeling that I can't even describe. Love comes when you less expect it, this time it was really unplanned. Two persons from two entirely different parts of the world together in this unique city. It's a sad love story, because faster than soon it will be over. I will carry your love deep inside. Our memories together are engraved in my heart."
- Forever yours-

My best friend

I've known her for 15 years, and I still consider her my best friend, like if she is my own sister, one of the most important person in my life. I remember when I went time to time to Sweden, she was the first person that I started to talk to. Even when I moved there she was my closest friend. She was always kind to me and many of my best memories are with her.
She always makes me smile, she's there for me when I need to talk to her, and I know that I can trust her no matter what.


Nowdays we don't see each other so much at all because we live in different cities, but we talk often on the phone. I'm sad for it. I want to share my most precious moments with her and I miss spending time with her such it'is always a ball!
Even if through the years we had misunderstandings, up & downs etc, I know that our friendship is ment to be! We will be best friends forever.
I hope I can be an honorable and honest friend to her too, a person that I can give my shoulder to lean on when she needs it, a sister that she can trust.

I give you Sandra an orange rose (even if in the picture it looks pink!). Orange is the colour of a trustful and important friendship!

Thank you for being my best friend!

Where am I?

"I closed my eyes after a long day and found myself in a beautiful place. Everything looks old but feels strangely familiar. And there is an energy in the air, as if the objects are somehow alive..Where am I?"

Where do the clouds come from?

I ask myself this question many times. Where do all those clouds come from?
It was such an amazing weather just this morning! And now the clouds are here again. I hope they are just passing by without raining...
It's like the clouds from all over the world stop here over the middle of Sweden and have meetings after meetings after meetings....
I wanted to get up early, but I really couldn't. I woke up 7 a.m. with a terrible headache! (No, I didn't party last night!) so I slept a couple of hours more, just to wake up with headache again, but after some coffee and a slowmotion awakening I became myself again.



My new credit card came with the mail. Finally! I had one that looked as a car drove on it several times..Now the new one shines! woot woot!
Just with a simple phone call I asked for a new one last Thursday. So easy!

I bought flowers today! Tulipans. The tulipans'season is almost over so I wanted to enjoy them a little bit more! Actually I bought a pink rose too. I read in a old english fairy book that a pink red rose brings magic at home. So let's see what happens!
Thinking about it, that it's always magic when I eat. I love to eat! and to cook! For lunch I made a simple spring salad with bresaola, mozzarella cheese, asparagus, tomatos, red onion and cucumber! All together with olive oil, pepper and salt. Gnam!

Look!! It's magic! The clouds are gone!

Cozy Lunch, Sunny Day!

Today it's a very sunny day! It's amazing how spring can bring such happiness! Well, my heart has its own reasons too! His smile makes me tremble!
After taking a shower, checking the e-mails, reading the news I took a nice walk by the river with my friend and Aramis. So warm outside and peaceful, if you follow the river all the way you can walk for several hours!
The early spring weather changes very fast, so you never know what jacket is best to wear or if you need a scarf. You don't want either to take the jacket off because it's very easy to get a cold. So many that I know are home with fever, sad to miss such a nice day! I really hope they'll get better soon!

"Lingon" is a very cozy Swedish food restaurant just a few blocks from where I live and just near the river. It was perfect to sit there and eat a great lunch after a long walk! Although Aramis had to stay home. I don't think that he would be allowed to eat there with me ^^
A cup of coffee after lunch while sitting outside in the sun is refreshing! But it's easy to forget about the books which are at home on my desk...
So I took the way home when I saw him, outside my porch.

-I missed you. So I'm just passing by to say hi!-

When he smiles I tremble indeed! He had to go to class but I'll see him soon again!
Happy!

These days I miss my Grandmother more than ever. Yesterday it was her birthday and I started dialing her number like usual without thinking. Emptiness. Just emptiness filled my mind and heart. I really miss her. So I lit a candle and thought about our best time together and the things that I adore about her. It felt better. Sometimes you don't need to see a person for feeling she's near you.

Now to the books....

Spring is finally here

My aunt finally could be able to fly back to Italy today as planned. She had her primary flight on last Monday so she waited one week to be able to go back home. I don't complain because I had the chance to have my dear auntie here for a few more days, but I know that she wanted to go back home! Who wouldn't?
We drove to the airport two early mornings in a row for getting information about other possible flights but the ash cloud wanted to stay over the European sky longer than a couple of days.

This Mr. Volcano has caused trouble to so many! And even if he is resting now I'm still quite worried about if I will be able to fly to Bali on Friday! So I'm not preparing anything until the last minute! Though no one can stop me from counting every minute and every second until Friday.

Spring has finally come here to Uppsala! The flowers are coming out from their hiding places, the sun is less shy and birds are singing-a-long!
Sweden has waited for spring very long this year. The winter was long and very cold, even some days ago the snow was falling again!! Even now that we are in the last days of April!
But every season has its charm! Here you can see each season completely with every speciality of it!

I live between three parks and this area is a typical "dog block". Here you can meet so many different dogs and if you plan to go out with your dog at the typical promenade hour you will be stuck in the park talking or waitin for your dog that must say hi to everyone, dog or no dog.
Cats are welcome too!
Yes, I love walks in the park! All the dog owners here are so lovely!

Btw, Isn't this picture wonderful? I just took it today! My sweet dog Aramis posing through a sea of blue spring flowers!

Actually I'm going out now to enjoy the finally so long waited spring!

A multi-cultural girl

If you ask me where I come from..actually I need a few minutes to think about what to answer you. I'm for sure both italian and swedish, completely half/half of these both wonderful cultures. Although I have the issue that when I'm in Italy i feel swedish and when I'm in Sweden I feel more italian. This is a well-known syndrome of being double cultured.

But I'm very greatful for it, so thank you mom, thank you dad, that you fell in love!
Growing up with two so different cultures was not uneasy at all. And it gave me more prospective and views of life that are very useful and important today and for the future.
I'm not closed in one world. I feel home wherever on earth I step my feet on. Different cultures are too beautiful and exciting for just not taking influences from.

I must admite though that my heart feels asian more and more for everyday.
My family moved for some months a year to Bali (Indonesia) and through their journey I had the chance to know wonderful people, be blessed of outstanding cultures, (Kinese, Japanese,S.korean, etc.) that gave me a stronger feeling of being "fullfield".
I'm feeling that my future would fit great in Asia so I'm doing my best to learn different languages for make my wish esear!

So dear Diary,
I'm Viky, a multi-cultural girl in her 20's who siezes her day the best way she can!
