This is what I would like to be. This is what I believe I can become. Maybe it's a little more difficult since I live in a small town in Sicily. On this blog I want to describe how my life here gradually changes and evolves. Describe my little successes and failures. Enjoy!

Farmville...

Ever since I saw this game on Facebook, I knew it won't be my cup of tea. I was so right. Farmville was voted one of the 50 worst inventions ever by Time magazine. Let me just cite: "it's (...) a series of mindless chores on a digital farm, requiring the endless clicking of a mouse to plant and harvest crops." As I posted on my personal facebook page: Gosh, I should be a foreteller! : ))

5 days to go!

I cannot believe that in one week I'll be in Poland! The worst will be adapting and adjusting to the drop of temperature. Now, in Sicily it's 8°C (46F), in Poland... -15°C (5F)! I can't even think about that!

In the meantime on the website of national important broad-sheet, Repubblica, Italians show this video (shot in Poland) and laugh at snowplow men who decided to play tricks on the pedestrians by creating mazes for them... LOL! : )



Changing the subject a little. This year together with my Italian friends, we decided to play Secret santa (according to Wikipedia: "Secret Santa is a Western Christmas tradition in which members of a group are randomly assigned other members to whom they anonymously give a gift"). I have a hard nut to crack. Plus,the budget limit is €20-25! I decided to look for some inspiration on various websites. Unfortunately the ideas I was mostly concentrated on concerning.. the gifts for me : )

Oh, last but not least, Santa came to me yesterday evening I got this:



 



Yaaayy!!! : ) I'm so elated! : ) cannot wait to start taking pics with it! First, though I'll dedicate the following weekend to "learn it". What about you? Have you already received little something something? : )

Last weekend.

It's already Friday, and I'll be writing about the last weekend...
First, I should say that the weather in Sicily looks anything but winter-like. It's 20°C during the day and sunny as in the summer : ) Lucky us. Well, yes, even though we needed some Christmas-like atmosphere and so decided to visit one of the "mercatino di Natale" (Christmas market) in Tre Castagni, a little town on the Etna Mt. When we arrived, despite the weather, I immediately felt more like at Home : )











Also, Artù had fun with a 4-month-old brown lab:



And on our way back home, we decided to see the new neighborhood of Syracuse that I find absolutely amazing! After having seen these houses, I can't think of anything else as good as this!






 
And this would be a perfect kitchen to fit this house!


Have a lovely weekend everyone! : ) I'll be seeing the Syracuse Soccer Game together with students this Sunday. Plus, I hope to try out this new pizzeria called Broadway on Saturday! : )

Difficult to describe me really. Definitely I am very complicated and ambitious... an aesthete.. sometimes a complainer. Neverhteless I would like to become Miss Independent. But no big words like sacrifice, dedication, devotion, etc... After all, I am a normal working girl who likes to go out, do shopping and having fun with her friends.
