Above is that link to a music video for a song named Gia by Despina Vandi.

This is the first song that we dance to in our bellydance class for our warm up dance. I love the music video and watching the dancers in the desert. I like the end how she gets swept away on a horse.

I have always wanted to go to Morocco or Egypt and visit the desert. While I was living in Spain a couple of my coworkers went to Morocco and camped out in the Sahara Desert over the winter break. I always thought about going there for the weekend, but never had the money to do it.

Morocco, Egypt and Turkey are some of the places that I would love to visit. I hear that you can get some beautifully tailored bellydance outfits in Turkey.

This artist is Greek, and a couple of her other songs are also my favorites.

Speaking of Greek, the Greek Festival is tomorrow and I am going to check it out with my friend. I can't pass up an opportunity to eat some good food and do some Greek dancing.

Another Day At the Law Library

Hello All,

Today I spend another 3 hours at the law library. I ran into one of my classmates there. She was complaining about how long the the research is taking. I can't say that I blame her because I was there a couple of days ago for another three hours. And you know what ? I am still not done ! And on top of that I still have to type it all up. I just feel sorry for the rest of my classmates that decide to start a couple of days before it is due.

After I left the library and as I was walking out to my car, I see this total hottie walk his dog. I think it was a doberman, but I forget. Beautiful dog, beautiful man. So I act like I am completely staring at the dog. The guy stops, smiles and asks if I want to pet the dog.

So I go over and pet the dog, and the guy asks me about my shirt ( It says "Build a Bridge and Get Over It") Then he asks me what I was doing at the library and what my plans were for the rest of the day. Haha, I had a million different responses, but I just smiled and said that I had to go to work, and turned around to leave. He then said "Maybe I'll see you around sometime". While we were talking we we both smiling and flirting, and I felt like we both had more to say or ask each other, but we just didn't.

Yeah, we had a moment. I blushed. In my opinion one of the hottest ways to meet a guy is if he is your neighbor (Which also happened to me recently, lol) or if he's out walking his dog. I always had a thing for a good looking guy with a dog, lol. I am sure his dog probably stood there and thought that the whole thing was cheesy.

I probably won't see him again. But sometimes the initial moments of meeting like that are better than anything that could happen after.

So Annoying

Hello There My Lovelies,

While I was living in Barcelona, I saw this music video that just totally swept me away. It just captured every emotion that I was feeling and left me longing for more. I can't explain it.

Basically I forgot the name of the song and the name of the artist. I have been looking for the song for the past three years. I have found every other song I loved since I came back except this one. I'm afraid that I'll live the rest of my life without getting my answer.

In the music video, these girls were on the beach and singing. It was so simple. It showed a group of girls driving to the beach, frolicking on the beach in their bikinis and meeting a bunch of guys to socialize with, and then their ride home, with the girls sleeping in the back, and leaning on each other. The view of the beach was beautiful, especially with the sun shining on them.

I don't why this simple video captured me. I guess I felt lonely over in Barcelona and just wished for a group of friends that I could be close to and hang out with. I longed for hanging out on the beach and feeling free.

I don't know why I even write about this, lol. I wish I could find that song. It was such a simple song that I will probably never see again.

I did go to the beach while I was in Barcelona. I remember that first time. I was learning how to teach English as a foreign language and one of my students invited me to hang out with her. She was a really cool Catalan woman. Short hair with streaks(that was the style), worked as a biologist. She drove me to the beach in her car and we went to an isolated beach called El Prat de Llobregat. It was the first time I really frolicked around in the ocean, lol. I even swam a little. Here in California it's just way too cold. But in Barcelona it was nice. The water was cool while the weather was just hot. I felt free, and I even have a picture somewhere. I wrote about this a couple of years back.

I also used to dog sit for my English coworker. I remember sleeping over at their nice apartment and walking their dog on the beach. It was a beautiful view.

Good times.

Above is a link to one of my favorite perfume ads that was aired while I lived in Barcelona. Apparently this ad also aired in Germany as the announcer spoke German. I really loved this commercial. It invoked a lot of emotions in me while I lived abroad. This ad came out around the holiday season when it was really cold (the coldest winter in 20 years) and when I was sad and homesick. Just watching that girl run in beautiful weather and jump as if she was reaching the sun gave me a little hope almost.

I used to walk into department stores like El Corte Ingles all the time while I was living in Barcelona just wishing that I could afford expensive makeup and perfumes and handbags. I was alone in a foreign country with not very much money, and I just longed to have expensive things.

I did end up buying this perfume near the end of my stay. It smelled good, but I don't wear that scent anymore. But I still remember the commercial.

I am working on securing a better job. I would love to take an actual vacation someday where I can actually travel overseas and do some shopping.
