Happy New Year

Hello everyone! So it's the last day of the year, are you excited? Cause I am. So I was trying to figure out if this year has been good or bad for me, and I came to the conclusion that it has been good.

On the one hand, I've gone through a complicated situations that have made me feel anxious but on the other hand, lot's of cool stuff has happenned. And I wanted to write down my top 3.

Fisrt, changes, When I was little I didn't like changes at all, but lately I've been really liking them. My big change this year has been moving from one school to another and at the begginng I thought it was going to be terrible but at the end it has been a pretty good experience. 

Then the discovery, I love discovering things and this year I've been discovering thousands, I discovered tons of new books and music and I feel better with myself now, thanks to those songs, books, new activities I've discovered a lot about me.

Finally, the best things that happened to me this year, has been going to a Taylor Swift concert, yes it was the best day of my life, I discovered Taylor when I was 8 years old and now I'm 16 so it has been a long time. When the new CD came out I thought "Ok, now it's my turn, she's going to come to Spain and I'm finally going to see her live" but it didn't happen so my uncle and my grandma surprised me by taking me to London to see Taylor and during those two hours that the concert lasted I cried of happinees and I know it's something I'm neveer going to forget. 

Thank you and Happy New Year, 

Christmas Sprit

Hello everyone! So, today has been really weird because I opened the last window of the advent calendar and I can't believe it's Christmas tomorrow and because of that I wanted to let you know how I get in the Christmas mood. 

First, I recommend drinking a hot chocolate or going to Starbucks and ask for the most festive drink.(that's what I did).

Then, on my way back home I passed a Tiger and I went in to see if they had something nice and I found all the ingredients to make a ginger bread house and,as soon as,  I went home I started making it, while watching Arthur Christmas (one of my favorite Christmas movies ever). 

Then I eat my lunch in sweatpants and started watching Polar Express (another amazing Christmas movie), when the movie finished I decided that it was time to get ready for my family dinner, so I took a shower and did my hair, my make up, and put on my outfit while listening to my Christmas playlist. (If you're interested in that, it's going to be a whole post about it sometime this week but before New Year Eve for sure)

Christmas Playlist: Christmas

Christmas movies (that I've been seeing during this month):

• Elf

• Polar Express

• Home Alone

• How The Grinch Stole The Christmas

• Love Actually 

• Jingle All The Way

• Arthur Christmas

• The Greatest Store In The World

• Nativity

• The Muppet Christmas Carol

• The Holiday

• A Christmas Story

• The Santa Clause

• A Charlie Brown Christmas

• A Christmas Carol

Thank you and Merry Christmas

School Supplies

Hello everyone! First of all, I wanted to apologize about being absent these days, but holidays got me coming and going everywhere. Secondly, I want to tell you that I joined YouNow as Aitana García     ( https://www.younow.com/aitanag13 ) and that my snapchat is aitana1311. Okay, now, after all that promo let's jump into the post.

So, I'm not sure in your county, but here in Spain school starts tomorrow and this is what I bought:
The first thing you should have is a bag pack, this one is from Urban Outfitters and I think it's amazing because everything fits in there.

The next thing I think everyone should have is a diary. I've never been really organized but the last couple of years I discovered the power of the agenda and it's incredible.

Moving on, we need a pencil case (Forever 21) filled with pens, sharpeners, rubbers, pencils,...

The last thing I got were some Notebooks.

I know this has been a short post but I promise that I'm going to post more regulary from now on and this wek is going to have at leats 3 post.

Thanks

Study Tips

Hello everyone! So this Monday starts the exams week and I'm super nervous but before I started to study I did a little bit of research and some of you may have exams too so I decided to share it with you.

1.  Stay Calm: This is one of the most importants things because you know when sometimes (in my case always) you've left studying to the day before the test and all of the sudden you start to freak out, and in those cases it's extremly important to remain the calm because stress and anxiety will make it much harder to concentrate, memorize, and think critically about the exam.
2. Study Spot: It has to be quite. I know that a lot of you like to study with friends and sometimes it's better to study with them because if you can't understand something maybe they can help you. But if you really want to get all of your work done look for a quiet spot without distractions.
3. Notes: Personally I don't take notes on every subject but it's important to write the things teacher insist the most even if they are not in your books. A teacher of mine always says: If it's said in class it could be in the exam. And it's true. Another important thing you should do with your notes it's keep them clear and clean so you can focus on them better.
4. Make a practice test: it's all said on the tittle.
5. Talk to the teacher: A lot of us don't want to admit that they are struggling or want to ask the teacher to clarify the facts. Well, sometimes we need to leave our fears behind and our pride aside and this is one of this moments.
6. Make a study guide: and schedule your time.
7. Be postive: This is actually a really good dvice because I always tent to be negative and then that's when I fail.

I'm sure they are 198612736 more advices but those are the ones I liked the most. Thank you so much for reading and feel free of sending me yours.

Photograph

Hello everyone!! It's been a while but I'm back! 

Since I was little I like taking pictures, I'm not good at it but I like it. I'm really impress by the fact that a moment, a time, a place, a person can be captured like that. It's amazing!

I've always thought that taking pictures it's important but when I look into my mom's stuff and I see all of the images of my sister, my family, myself I think it's more than important. Because the world changes, you change, everything's always on moving, but a pictures will be forever frozen, no changes. Change it's good but some things were good at the moment and you like to have a memory.

Plants

Hello everyone! So today I figured out that I would talk you about my plants. Does it sound weird? I'm going to explain you hhahaah. Well, the thing is that lately I've been feeling awkward and I thought what if I buy a plant? maybe if I take care of it I will feel better.

I've never been good at taking care of anything, actually when I was little I had two mini-fishes and they died because I didn't feed them properly. But this plants don't need a lot, just light, water twice a month, love and if you want you can also talk to them and share your secrets and even sing (maybe it sounds crazy).

This plants makes the surroundings look more clear and it really alive. I could spend hours watching them.

The last thing that I wanted to tell you today is that me and one friend will make a big announcement (for us) this weekend. 

I Just Want Your Jeans-God Help The Girl  (OST)

They Have Done It For Me

How are you? I'm still a little bit upset...Okay I'm not gonna lie: I feel worse than shit. I think that life it's a horrible thing and I hate it. My panick attacks have grow up since my fight with my best friend and I think that everything sucks. There's no day that I don't feel more emptyness than I used to...

As usual, music it's been by my side this whole time and I thought: Hey! You're not the only one that feels like crap right now in the world. So I decided to post the songs that I've been listening since IT all started.

These songs are not happy at all  and if you're looking for something that cheer you up this is not the place. I just pick up these songs cause they say in words exactly how I feel inside.

• Untitled-Simple Plan: 

"How could this happen to me? I've made my mistakes.I've got nowhere to run. The night goes on. It's like I'm fading away. I'm sick of this life. I just wanna scream. How could this happen to me?"

• Invisible-Hunter Hayes: 

"Hear me out, there's so much more to life than what you're feeling now. Yeah, someday you'll look back on all these days and all this pain is gonna be invisible."

• Save You-Simple Plan:

"Take a breath. I'll pull myself together. Just another step until I reach the door. You'll never know the way it tears me up to see you. I wish that I could tell you something to take it all way. SOmetimes I think I could save you." 

•  Misguided Ghosts-Paramore:

"We are just misguided ghosts. Traveling endlessly. The ones we trusted the most pushed us far away. And there's no one road. We should not be the same. But I'm just a ghost. And still they echo me. They echo me in circles."

• Innocent-Taylor Swift:

"Lost your mind trying to get it back. Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days? Always a bigger bed to crawl into. Wasn't it beautiful when you believe in everything? And everybody belived in you?" 

• Fix You-Coldplay:

"When you try your best, but you don't succeed. When you get what you want, but not what you need. When you feel so tired you can't sleep. Could it be worst?"

•  Astronaut-Simple Plan:

"So tonight I'm calling all astronauts. Calling lonely people that the world forgot. If you hear my voice come pick me up. Are you out  there? Cause you're all I 've got."

• Demons-Imagine Dragons:

"Look into my eyes. It's where my demons hide. It's where my demons hide. Don't get too close. It's dark inside."

• Youth-Daughter:

"Well, I've lost it all. I'm just a silouhette. A lifeless face that you'll soon forget."

• Paradise-Coldplay: 

"When she was just a girl, she expected the world. But it felw away from her reach and she run away in her sleep"

• Tomorrow-Avril Lavigne:  

"And I wanna believe you, when you tell me that it'll be okay. Yeah I try to believe you, but I don't."

• The World Is Ugly-My Chemical Romance: 

"These are the words, but the world's aren't coming out: They burn cause they are hard to say. For every failing sun, there's a morning after."

•  How To Save A Life-The Fray:

"Where did I go wrong I lost a friend"

• Teenagers-Hayley Williams: 

"It's in the air now, bitter tears and broken hearts. We're teenagers, we count the years, we think we're smart, but we're not, we don't know anything."

•  This Song Saved My Life-Simple Plan:

"I wanna start by letting you know this: because of you my life has a purpose, you helped me be who I am today, I see myself in every word you say. Sometimes I feel like nobody gets me, trapped in a world where everyone hates me, there's so much that I'm going through, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you."

• All You Wanted-Taylor Swift Cover (Originally by Michelle Branch): 

"If you want to, I can save you, I can take you away from here, so lonely inside, so busy out there, and all you wanted was somebody who cares."

            

That Sucks

How are you beautiful people? How was the first day of school? Everything alright? 

Yesterday was the first day of school. When I first woke up I felt like something bad it was going to happen. It was just a feeling. I usually don't sleep really well at nights so I thought I was tired and that was the reason why I felt that way. 

The day was going all right. I talked with my friends, that I hadn't seen since the Christmas Break started and stuff.

School was over and I went home. I thought the worst part was over but...

Then I just opened my bestie on Whatsapp because today it's her birthday and I wanted to go to celebrate with her going to a dinner with her boyfriend and her cousin. And she told me that she didn't wanted to go out and celebrate it, she wanted to stay home with her mother and obviously her boyfriend. 

I completely understand that she just wants to be at home and calm but lately she has been ignoring me. She says she's my best friend but we hadn't meet at Christmas Break and it's not the first time that she prefers her boyfriend over me.

On September, she and her boyfriend broke up (they came back together 3 weeks later) and she passed through a really hard time for her and all I know is that I did my best to try to calm her down and make her feel better. When they come back she started feeling better and I was happy for her.

I'm not jealous or anything but she knows that 2014 was not the best year for me. I started to having anxiety, panic attacks (and I still don't know what to do with that). And now she's pushing me away, which by the way not helps at all. The emptiness that I have been feeling inside me for 3 years now, is growing. And she's not helping me. 

What can I do? I don't want to forgive her without her apologize, but the problem is that she never says sorry but on the other side I'm afraid she won't.

Sorry for bothering you with my problems. Next post will be funnier I swear it.

PS: This is a mash up/cover that I've been listening lately.

Sweater Weather- The Neighbourhood

I'M HERE! YUP!

Hi! Ok...First of all I'm going to introduce myself a little bit:

I'm Aitana. 13 is my lucky number. I was born on August 11, when the moon was right in front the sun. Yes guys! I was born on an eclipse! I've got two young siblings, Matias (3) and Daniela (11).

I love music. Polaroids. Vintage. Recording videos. Imagine what life was like 50 years ago. Writing about life.Take pics. USA. Food (specially chocolate) .Books. Go to the gym. Shop. TV Shows. Internet. My friends.

But as I said before my favourite thing in life it's music. I can listen to 1000 songs just in a day. I listen to everything. I love band/singers like Nirvana, Coldplay, Paramore, and a lot more . My favourite singer it's Taylor Swift (I've been being Swiftie from almost 7 years now). And of course I love dancing around my house screaming (trying to sing) the song that is in my head.

I'm a teenager. And YEEES! I still jumping up and down when something great happens and I've got a unicorn on my bed.

Lately, people have been asking me what are my aspirations in life? Or what do I think I would be doing in 10 years? You know what: I'VE NO IDEA. I just wanna live and I can't wait to my 21 birthday cause that day I'm going to take a plane, I'm going to go to New York and I will never come back (or just to see my family).

Yep! so that's me...Not much...
I also don't think you should ever take life so seriously that you forget to play. 

Once the presentation is over, I'm going to talk about this blog: my idea is to mix diferent things. We can talk about music, books, clothes, make up,... We also can make some snaks, DIY's, Q&A, routines,... And everything you want. JUST ASK FOR IT.

Please don't judge. I'll try to do this blog the best I can. And I'll be as active as posible. Thanks for join me.
Wish me luck!! Cause, guys, you know that I'll need it.

BYEBYE DARLINGS SEE YOU SOON!!!XO!!
