What was your friday workout?
A goal is just a dream with a deadline
Workout and make it a habit
My first day in my old gym as i told earlier. It felt great and i burned more calories, alot more than if i work out at home like 200kcal more calories. The gym is beautiful very "luxury" and private, but the problem is the weight or fitness room is not that big, the weightroom is more smaller. Tomorrow i want to get in the gym earlier than i went today, because today they were a lot more people than what i expected. So i want to workout at 7:30 30minutes after they open. In that case i have access to all the machines that i need without having to wait. Its better to work out first thing in the morning, before you make reason to work out later and you end up skipping it. Do it in the morning to start your day, start your metabolism, once its done you can continue with your daily routine.
after my workout...which was upper body
in the dressing room we have everything a girl needs - Lotion, blower, flat iron and other stuff
We also get one big white towel and one small every time we go in to workout in the receptions.
I always bring my flat iron specially to use after the gym just incase i need it. But i saw that they have these luxury flat
iron :)
Do you workout in the gym or at home? What is the best time of the day for your workout?
Dont promise when you are happy, do not reply when you are angry and do not decided when you are sad
Went early to the gym, yet it was so warm already. I took some pics of the street in the centre.
My station called "Zona Universitaria" for those who dont live and havent been here.
Im walking on sunshine...
Walking in Barcelona
As you all know who follow and read my blog, yesterday we have been packing for 3 days in a row to make sure that the flat is spotless clean. It is always for rent for summer with a lot of cash because its high season and near the beach. People pay for to stay there, so our task was to leave the flat as it was when we first arrived. Since the flat is my man its good extra cash for him.
I miss that flat though already, i cant believe the 8 months we spend our time their pass so fast and we are already in the end of June. So this summer as i have been doing for the last 2-3 years i will stay in the flat of Rubens mom, since they are also going away like always to their home in the north of Spain. Yes they own 3 homes ( 2 flats and 1 big house). I myself havent been in their house in the north of Spain, but hopefully i will one day when i have time i will come and stay for a week or so.
...Anyway this summer wont be any different than other summer, except that i will dedicate my time in the gym every day ( so its healthier summer for me) and i am working on a project that me and my boyfriend are planning. I cant tell anything about it yet, but i can say its my dream about to be fullfilled. We are also going to find our own flat but start little by little, we dont want to be on the top and suddenly go down on the bottom lol. So any nice flat with good price with 1-2 bedroom would be great. I already found many, but since we dont have plan to move until the end of August, i will look for flat one month before that.
Barcelona weather today:
Clouldy, a little bit cold fresh wind. Sometimes its so warm like the humidity and sometimes it feels cold. In general its not cold and its not warm, its stabil.
The only close place where i can take Blackie for a walk. As long there are grass he is happy and also he met other dogs :).
Took Blackie for longer walk than usual...
Its written in Catalan , not many knows that in Barcelona people are Catalan and that means they talk Catalan language, which is similar to french and spanish mix. I dont understand it ...only some words
You cant change who people are, without destroying who they were.
Disgusting summer weather
Day 3 of cleaning the flat and i am so hungry! I was cleaning the kitchen yersterday so we dont have food at home. I have to wait for an hour until i will get food in my stomach, since my driver is not really feeling well. I mean you cant expect to work and barely sleep. No matter how much things that need to be done, the body need rest. I hate depending on someone, i cannot wait the day i get my driving license i dont have to depend on someone anymore.
Today is very hot summer weather, disgusting hot and i feel sorry for Blackie who have to go around with his Black hair, luckily is fresh inside the flat. But once we arrived in Barcelona we are going to sweat like pig. The flat there dont have air, unlike here is fresh. But there its like being in an oven and at night its like sleeping in the Sauna..omg!!! I dont want to imagine that.
Make your smile change the world, but dont let the world change your smile
Back in the days picture taking 3-4 years ago. I cant believe it has been that long. I miss my tan! Got to get myself a sun tanning lotion or oil with highger spf, i dont want to look like raisins when i am 40 lol!
I am a little bit jealous of the people going to the beach today. Its loaded and i havent even seen this place full of people and tourist since we only been here over winter season.
I wont and cant update my blog often today, sorry guys i have so many things to do. Have a nice friday!!
Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich and a tragedy for the poor.
Theres no place like home
Right now we are packing, washing, cleaning and all other stuff. Because the flat need to be spotless clean and leave it just like it was before, because it is for rented this monday there will be someone who rent it July and August. We have so much to do until tomorrow. My studies are left behind and so my workout of today
I also got super headache and i think it has to do with my eyes. I see bad and worst everyday, so i might have to get some eyeglasses, before i get headaches regularly.
Officially summer starts today!
The grass are drying out, it used to be so green.
Blackie love this place, its peaceful and quiet and barely people around.
This place looks dead, but it looks much better in real life.
The day after "Sant Juan" in Catalunya is the only place that celebrate this day with a lot of fireworks. But in this place where we live outside Barcelona which is a small town were not that many people than in the city.
I was walking with Blackie today (my dog) and saw that the street is a little bit messed up from the weekend, which was Sant Joan day 24 of June. Many left behind from the fireworks shooting.
I love pink

We are in Barcelona today to celebrate the tradition called " San juan", to be honest i don't have any idea on what it is about, all i know is that people celebrate it with fireworks, go to the beach and get drunk. Thats the only time of the year with fireworks celebration unlike other countries fireworks is in New year or christmas. In Ireland they have fireworks in Halloween - to wake up the dead?! No idea. I am not a big fan of fireworks, here they throw fireworks early and almost all the day on the street, beach and park where people come passing with their dogs. That's why i dont like this day either because of that. Anyway this day is also a celebration in Sweden called "Midsummer" where we celebrate with friends and family eating typical food of that day and having a great time. I love midsummer celebration.
So it is said that yersterday is the start of "summer", i always thought it was summer since first day of June, but now it is getting warmer at night, its disgusting warm with barely air outside. Sometimes it feels like being inside in a Sauna....
Today we are celebrate San juan by having nice lunch here at the place of Rubens mom. And i have a lot of studies to do...so i dont feel the occassions, i dont feel when its weekend or free day, its freeday every for me.
What are you up to this sunday?
"He that learns from every one is wise, he that governs his passion is powerful and he that is content is rich"
summer with cold air
Trust yourself you know more than you think you do
Its Fathers day today i guess? I have no idea but i see that people are posting it on Facebook. But i greated my dad anyway :).
This is my first weekend that i really feel and the summer weather. Its so hot and its around 27 degrees. Luckily we have airfan here to keep as cool down.
In about two weeks we will be here in Barcelona like we have been doing this past 3 years, but i think it will be the "last" summer we are spending it in this flat of my boyfriends mom, because then we will have our own flat to stay in.

What are you all up to this sunday beautiful day in Barcelona???
Be your beautiful self
Hello sunshines!
We are back in our crib, luckily the weather is getting better. The dogs seems to like be here out in this little town than in Barcelona in the crowded area with lots of people. We have about a month left to stay here, then weve got to pack and clean the flat for the summer rent this july. That also mean that we have to bring all our things.
Our plan after summer is to rent the flat below Rubens moms flat, its big with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. All i have to do is to make sure i got a partime job in september and that Ruben get the job that his cousin will fix for him in the harbor. The reasons why we want the flat below his moms flat is that if i work part time while im gone i can just go up and leave the dogs so that they wont have to be alone those 4-5 hours that i will be working and hopefully if its needed his mom can go out with the dogs, Its better like that rather than have a flat further and i have to walk with them ( which is not possible for them to walk far, nor it is allowed to take the metro with them). I pray to God that we get that flat because i heard its newly renovated with parquet floor ;).
I am about to study but there are two people who are fixing the terrace and they make a lot of noise. I hope they do it fast, cos its pretty hard to study like this.
Follow your heart not your head, because thats what you feel
Its raining in Barcelona and its raining alooooot. This afternoon the weather was clear and the sky was blue, it was perfect to wear this (above), but i gues now i have to put some other clothes for the rainy weather. Its not the best day to go out with the dogs. I hope this weather will be over soon because we are almost in the end of May, so i expect to be a lot of sun this summer like it always has....

Running outside
Today me and my man did our first run on the beach and it felt so great :). It was very few people and the beach is huge so it was more relaxing do cardio in this way. The sun was not that warm and the wind was a little bit cold, so i sweat but not that much because of the fresh ocean wind blowing my face. We ran for 30 mins and our plan is to do it every day atleast 5x a week, or do it for 45-60mins 3x a week, but not running every day for an hour that would just eat out the muscles. I prefer do it everyday for 30mins. So people dont be a cardio queen and king if you are lifting weights, you want to keep your hard earn muscles. Recommended is 20-30mins a day after weightlifting or early in the morning having few hours between lifting sessions. Tomorrow our plan was to do the same, i thought i could not resist since im not a running person and i dont run, i do my cardio with the speedrope, but it suprised me that i could resist running for 30mins without rest. The last time i run outside was like a year ago and i never worked out, when i tried to ran for couple of days i rest every 2 mins and it was so much pain in the ass!!! Now it was easy peasy and so much fun :)
My triceps are coming out naturally, proud of myself :)
The life in the sun
The last few days i did not have time to do blogpost, neither i had time to take pictures and post it in instagram.
Anyway last week the weather was so warm and great, so most of the days i spend my time outside and enjoy the sun. I already had tan 5 times, so i have a pretty good pre-tan which is very early this year. I remember last year my last birthday i was yellow, the warm weather was late then.

I also talked to my father in the Philippines and my 4 siblings from my father side 2 little brothers the age of 17 and 12 and two little sisters the age of 8 and 10. I am so happy to finally contacted them since ive been searching and asking for their numbers. Luckily my auntie met them in the city and told me that one of my little brother have facebook. I miss them so much even though i met my siblings only once for me they are my brothers and sisters. I cant wait to go back home and visit them, this time ill be staying with them all my vacations days for a month, its gonna be fun :)
Sunny days
Hello readers!
This past few days ive been spending my time to seat outside and enjoy the weather. Since its weekend then alot of people come to this place we are living to go the the beach and just be here to unwind. I did not have time to go down to the beach even though its pretty close, so i bought the chair above to sit outside and get some tanning going in the chinese shop ofcourse which they have it every where in Spain and you can find anything you are looking for that you normally need in the daily basis. This chair is perfect i can adjust it more to become like a bed and enjoy the sun :). I will probably bring this one to the beach even in Barcelona, its much more comfortable than lying on the beach with the sand all over you.
Today i have a have already a nice base tan i can see that i am pretty dark already. I feel like bad being inside when i can sit in the terrace and enjoy the sun, its such a lovely day. Although today was a little bit cloudy compared to yersterday. I saw in the weather prognose that this week is going to be up to 24 degrees, yey!
Last summer in Sweden :)

Incredible weather today so beautiful and sunny. I love Spring it is my favorite season of the year because i can still wear thinner jacket and knitwear, i think its the season of the year where you can really wear incredible fashion look. I love summer though but its too hot that im getting tired of wearing too little clothes, which is pretty boring, and uve got to have fit body that make a simple look so much more fabulous haha, but or else in the summer You cant style up so much, but spring and autumn i love i love :)
In order to be irreplaceable one must be different...
Its never too late to apologize
Everyday is a fashion show and the world is your runaway...
I felt human again since five days a week im going around with my sweat pants, hair tied up and dont give a damn how i look like, specially when we live in a place with barely neighbors around. The bad thing is that you feel too comfortable and its like living in a farm all messed up from head to toe and when its time to fix yourself once a week its like you dont know how to take care your outside appearance anymore. Well dont get me wrong i love fashion and fixing myself. Atleast i have to do it every weekend :)
