"Yey, today is Friday, dun dun dundun today is Friday ya yaya ya ya and nothing is goooooing to stoop meeee" (I sing my newly invented song while I tune my voice without the falsetto transformer)

When I stop singing, the light comes into my mind and I check the window to see if it hasn't cracked or if I haven't killed a poor bird with the music because I'm aware that I'm a terrible singer and that even a choking good-vi-te-you would have a voice quality better than mine when singing.

Look, this isn't me underestimating myself or wanting sympathy, it's simply a fact that I sing very badly and play the guitar very well.
In life, everything is balance, which is why we have sayings like two sides of the same coin, the yin yang theory, karma, among others.
At the risk of philosophizing here, I think I should give my opinion on sadness and happiness. Think with me, if we don't have happy moments we don't identify what is sad and if we didn't experience sad moments we wouldn't value the happy ones.

End of the philosopher's moment.

I have my breakfast which was here today: toast with cottage cheese, coffee with milk and finally chopped banana with honey.

Until 1:30 pm my day was very peaceful, few customers (I regret my tips as crocodile tears fall from my eyes), calm customers, good conversation and exchange of jokes with other employees.
In fact, there was a joke that was so good, despite being cheesy and nerdy, that I have to tell you.

How do you call the security guards outside of Samsung?
The Guardians of the Galaxy

God, I can't take this one, just thinking about it almost makes me piss myself laughing so much.

Leaving the joke and going back to my good day, lunch was LASAGNA, is there anything tastier than a bolognese lasagna full of cheese? Answering my own question, if it exists I don't know it and I ask you to introduce me.

The rest of the working hours weren't exactly exhausting even though there were a lot more customers (TIPS ) and I got home ready to do a movie marathon.

Disney wait for me

I prepared popcorn, lemon soda, potato chips, Snickers, M&M and other chocolate sweets.

I turned on my air conditioning, took a hot shower, changed my clothes, jumped under the duvet and spent the night watching movies while eating my snacks.

Have a good weekend Universe, I know from the beginning of mine that it's going to be wonderful.

Today is Tuesday, it's been three days since my last update and so many good things have happened.

I'm going to report everything straight here, in chronological order, because otherwise I'll forget something.

So, I stopped at Disney movies on Friday, on Saturday I woke up late and took the opportunity to take care of myself, do some skin care, moisturize my hair and paint my nails.

Around 6 pm Jane, one of the girls who shares the apartment with me, arrived and asked me to go to a friend's party with her.

We got ready together, she was wearing black jeans with a red faux leather strapless crop top and red high heels, I decided to match her and my nails and wore a black faux leather strapless dress with a low heel sandal in the same color.

Arriving at the party I didn't know anyone and she disappeared among the guests. Thank God I'm not that shy of a person and I went to the dance floor after having a drink (vodica with energy drink as I don't like the taste of beer).

I drank, danced, played some games, had fun and after I couldn't take it anymore I was tired I went after Jane and dragged her to the apartment, because I may not be sober but I have enough sense to know that you should go to the party with a friend I have to go out with her.

On Sunday we woke up at lunchtime looking like clowns because of our makeup, sore from the position in which we fell asleep on the sofa and stinking of dry sweat and alcohol.

We cleaned ourselves up and went to eat salad because we knew that we had both already exceeded our calorie limits for a weekend lol.

In the afternoon we looked at the photos we took, posted the best ones on our social networks after they were edited and gossiped about what happened at the party.

She played beerpong; in a bad way (which won't lead to anything since when I showed Jane a photo of him, she told me that he is the boyfriend of one of the girls I never played), we gossip about the shameful and hilarious things that drunk people did and we enjoyed the photos and videos that other party participants posted.

On Monday I went to work in a good mood and got a lot of tips, when I left work I went and got the keys to my renovated house, I couldn't check it because it was getting dark and I decided to go back to the apartment and only check it on Friday.

As I said before, it was a great three days.

It's going to rain my people, because it's not possible that so many good things are happening in my life, what miracle is this?!

I'm seriously scared, never when only good things happen, it alarms my instincts saying something horrible is ahead.

Or maybe I'm just a paranoid nut.

Leaving the future aside, we have to admit that this sequence of good things is very strange, I mean, it's not normal.

Let's enumerate them to clearly illustrate how bizarre it is:
* I won the house
* I managed to buy my dream thermos
* I managed to find a package that I can pay for that does the house repairs and rough cleaning
* I had my self-care time
* I marathoned Disney movies while eating unhealthy snacks
* I went to a party

Now that I have recapped what has already happened, I have news about my life that is also good (from my point of view, of course).

So, during the week at work I was talking to people and I mentioned that I was getting the house now, that I still haven't seen it in its entirety, but I saw the land and cleaned it, that I've now finished renovating the house and that despite it being Ready, it cannot be lived in yet as it has been painted and needs time for the smell to go away.

So my colleague Vânia asks where and of course I tell her and she responds by telling me some great news, or at least something new for me haha, that going straight another five kilometers on the road I use to go there is a small forest (or would that be an environmental reserve, I have to research this)

Vânia also told me that she goes hiking there with a group of friends and invited me to participate, we even talked about taking advantage and camping on my land, as camping is something she wants to do and has never been able to do since her friends don't want to sleep in the forest. saying that this is too adventurous even for them.

And what was my answer, well of course I accepted.

Seriously, is there really a better way to find out if I can live without electricity and live with nature (at least temporarily)?

I accepted and during the week we organized all the necessary equipment, made routes, plans and got to know each other as a group.

On Saturday we took a convoy early in the morning and set up our tents to walk to the forest and hike the trail. I must say that it was a unique experience both because of the novelty and because it is the only time I will do this in my life, walking here non-stop is not something I see myself repeating, it is not worth it just for the beautiful view that we see on the way and when we reach our goal.

Camp is different, I find myself repeating that. We made a fire and used a barbecue, someone who plays an instrument took us and we sang (it was a harmonica, a guitar and a flute) different styles of music, we roasted marshmallows, we told scary stories and before we went to the tents to sleep there was still time to watch the stars. A truly wonderful experience.

Seeing the stars, something I never stopped to do and never had the opportunity to do due to the city's light pollution, made me want to move out of my apartment and come live here even though there was no electricity. The stars are so beautiful and even so tiny, they light up the sky so much in a way that makes me so thoughtful and emotional, bringing me a peace, a certainty about myself that I've never had before.

MAYBE I'm really thinking about moving, but first I have to furnish the house and find a way to at least charge my computer and cell phone.
I must not forget the refrigerator and bathroom, be a serious and responsible adult Anna, remember the NEEDS.

Hello everyone, just letting you know that I'm posting little and I'm going to post little these weeks because I'm in the exam period at college. Choosing to study Law was one of the biggest craziness of my life and it's even crazier that I don't regret it.
Wish me good grades because if I perform poorly, there will be no legal age that will protect me (and my internet access) from my mother.

After the weekend I continued talking to Vânia and the entire trail group and I must confess that this made me greatly expand my point of view, to recognize my lack of knowledge about physical activities, sports, how I communicate with nature and this entire universe. fitness, natural and even a bit radical.
And when I say expanding my point of view I mean I got a lecture lmao.
Apparently Marcos, one of the "leaders" of the group, has a degree in journalism and physical education, with his work being focused on researching and disseminating the benefits of physical activity in nature. I even joined his blog on Instagram and it's really cool, he also has published books, articles, it's a very complex subject that I didn't imagine would be as good as it is. (Not being relevant to this part of my line of thought, but I can't help but mention it since talking about him reminds me of how Vânia introduced us and paraphrasing "That's Marcos, don't try to discuss our activities with him, he's a of those responsible for the group and his studies make him very annoying most of the time. Oh, don't forget not to disturb him while he has the camera as it offends his blogging side." You can understand why I'm not really Vânia's FRIEND, right? , she is most of the time a self-centered bitch.)
Going back to what Marcos taught me, apparently, these activities are practiced outdoors and/or in nature, using components of this location, such as mountains, rivers, trees, irregular terrain and which may even depend on weather conditions to take place. They are called adventure sports or extreme sports, they are activities that involve a certain calculated risk, and involve elements such as speed and height, with the purpose of awakening distinct and intense sensations.
Its biggest features are:
•They help increase mental and emotional conditioning. Because they require a certain physical preparation and emotional aptitude from their practitioners, these sports end up promoting such skills during practice;
•They promote direct contact and connection with nature. Because they depend on their elements and a greater understanding of their natural factors to happen;
•It allows you to leave your comfort zone and challenge yourself, which brings a feeling of confidence and the ability to face new challenges at any time.

In addition to this text about what its characteristics and benefits are, he also talked to me for a long time about safety because, as the name suggests, extreme sports are dangerous.

During this time of conversation, another thing I discovered besides extreme sports is the reason the group got together to go to the forest near my house, apparently it is much bigger than I expected, there are still a few good kilometers to go after what we stopped having there is even a river running through it and after the forest there is a hill that is also covered in forest. After the hill there is still a little more forest and then civilization begins again.
I discovered this because they asked me to go canoeing, which I haven't answered yet because it was never something I thought about and I'm afraid of wild animals, I mean, I'm in a small canoe and I could encounter a crocodile, an alligator or a snake or any other dangerous animal that may appear and be in the river. So tell me, O Lord God Almighty, how I will deal with the appearance of any of these animals while in a canoe.
I have a feeling I'll have lots of adventures in the future lol.

Ai ai ai, these group activities were so interesting that I didn't even have time to talk about what I discovered I'm planning to do over the weekend to improve my little house. Well next time I'll have to tell you everything.

Guys, you won't believe it, nor can I believe it, Vânia is really clueless, Jesus have mercy.

Look, I'll tell you the gossip, but it has to die here. So I was on this beautiful Thursday, having a delicious garlic and olive oil pasta for lunch at the restaurant two streets away from the café where I work when who appeared to me? Izzy, one of the girls in the group going on the trail, she recognized me and went to greet me, then the conversation went back and forth, she asked me if I was going canoeing and obviously I said no and told her what my plans were. .....

Which are..... ROUND THE DRUMS......

The biggest garage sale event of the semester, yes it is a semi-annual event.

I know it's nothing exciting and I told her that too, right, like I said, I have a new house and a limited budget, I'm taking advantage of your opportunity to buy furniture for my house to decorate.

It was only when I mentioned this to her that the gossip started because she got excited and said that she loves watching decoration videos and gave me the idea of recording and posting and becoming a blogger too, focusing on ALSO, apparently SHE is the blogger. Marcos, who is actually her husband, only writes the articles and she even told me when I told her what they told me that Vânia disregards her because she was in love with Marcos and Marcos didn't want her, he was a faithful husband, right? so he rejected her advances.

I talked to her until the end of my lunch and went to work. When I got home, the idea she gave me of becoming a blogger wouldn't leave my head as recording this evolution would be, I don't know, so cool.

The possibility of immortalizing something as significant as my first house, not a house, but a home, of making it unforgettable by the simple opportunity of being able to revisit these moments without fear of forgetting the details and being able to show others this victory in the future It’s something that deeply attracts me.

Furthermore, videos on decoration, cooking and many other skills of mine are surprisingly popular and if it works I would certainly earn a good extra income (let's face it, you can never have too much money).
