What my long distance relationship taught me

Every experience in life teaches you something, and relationships are not the exception. The first of them taught me that it's stupid to cry over months for someone that just won't come back and how it's better to accept that it's over and move on. The second one taught me what psychological abuse is and how I should never ever let a man treat me. The third one, never, under any circumstance go back with your ex (But I see myself doing this stupid thing again). And now this one, the nicest relationship I've had so far.

It taught me:

Venezia, Verona e la Pizza

Since my heart is broken I was thinking in ways to feel better. One of them was having a one night stand but then I decided that it was a stupid idea and choosed something better instead soooo, I spent one weekend in Italy! Sure, it sounds better than it was, before reading the story let's just say it was a weekend to remember.

For such a short trip it was full of mistakes. First of all it was with a tour company, which means. They choose the hotel, activities, times, transport, etc... I have always despised traveling like that because you have no freedon to do whatever you want. The second mistake was the time, the weather hasn't been good. And yeah, those 2, but it's more than enough with the tour company.

Finland

And I’ve been back in Serbia since about one week ago. It’ been a weird week, and it was a weirder month. I went to Finland at the end of January. I didn’t write about it but Jarno  Jernström went to Serbia in December. It was a bittersweet visit full of drama but also lovely moments; I’d like to think that more lovely moments than bad ones. Anyway, on January 22 I took the train to Budapest and on 23 for the first time I didn’t have problems with my flight ticket and I could go to Finland without any problem.

I spent almost the whole month indoors, It was cold, expensive, I didn’t know anyone, he had to work a lot and I had to study for my exams so, I went out 3 times during February. One to Hellocon, another to a bar and the last one to Heureka museum (It’s something like Papalote museo del niño in Mexico).

Helsinki Lolita Convention

On February first I went to the Helsinki Lolita Convention. Since I knew it was going to be held at the beginning of the year, I was hoping to get vacations on that time. At the end I had some troubles but I made it ^^ It was hard to get my coord in my little backpack and when I took out everything my blouse was a disaster, and he doesn’t have an iron x_x but I think I didn’t look that bad. I had a lot of fun and met some interesting people 8D

Just a little disclaimer, my camera suuuucks really bad and I had to steal some form tumblr and google x_x if someone sees her pictures here and wants me to remove them, that’s ok with me. I saved the pictures time ago and cannot remember the owners, sorry about that.

LBC: Lolita Designer I'd Like to Meet

Well, another week and another theme for the Lolita Blog Carnival. This week is about the Lolita designer we want to meet.

First of all, the only Japanese designer I could have chosen is Yumi Fujihara, the owner and designer of Innocent World, but I already “did” and even thought I didn’t talk to her because she was busy and the language is a barrier, I could see an interview and listen to her views about Lolita.

But there are two indie designers that I’d really like to meet because their clothes are awesome and they are super skilled <3 They are…

1 Piece, 4 Seasons

I recently joined Lolita Blog Carnival, a fb group for lolita bloggers (No way Sherlock!), and in their own words: “What we do here is simple: We decide on a topic, set a date, and then we all make a blog post about that topic on that date.” Pretty simple and fun, isn’t it? I’m quite happy to join it because I never know what to post on my blog and I want to make it more Lolita related.

This week’s topic is “1 piece, 4 seasons.” I will cheat on this one for two reasons:

1. 1. I don’t want to use Polyvore with pieces I just find around there, for me it’s more fun if I use my own wardrobe and I’m actually wearing the outfits… which leads me to the second reason.
2. 2.   Right now I’m outside Serbia (Finland yay!) so, I’m far from my Lolita wardrobe.

What I’m going to do is to post pictures with outfits I used during those seasons ;3 There is only one piece of which I have pictures of all seasons (Good, I can include a story as well), it is this Bodyline skirt:

My Most Precious Lolita Item

Another activity from the fb group Rosas de Azúcar. This time it consists in posting our most precious Lolita item.

Otra actividad del grupo en fb de Rosas de Azúcar. Esta vez se trata de postear nuestro ítem lolita más preciado.

Which is your most precious accessory or garment? This IW JSK

¿Cuál es tu accesorio o prenda lolita más valioso? Este JSK de IW

Is it because it’s expensive, a gift from someone special or hard to get? It’s because it was my first brand item, my first non ita JSK and my first IW thing, it has been with me for years! Thanks to this JSK I started to love IW <3

¿Lo es por caro, un regalo de alguien especial o fue difícil de conseguir? Es porque fue mi primer prenda de marca, mi primer JSK no ita y mi primera cosa de IW, ha estado conmigo por años! Gracias a este JSK comencé a amar IW <3

One of the first times I wore this JSK, I was so young!
Una de las primeras veces que usé este JSK, era tan joven!

Does it have a story? Well, it was hard to get it since I didn’t have paypal at that time, and Candy, a Spanish Lolita was nice with me and accepted money through western union. It was quite a problematic transaction, and I’m grateful that Candy had a lot of patience, and at the end I got it <3 I stopped wearing it because it torn in the chest and I didn’t want to touch it because I could make it worse. I was able to fix it in 2012, but I gained a lot of weight and couldn’t wear it anyway. Finally last year I lost all that weight and I’m ready to use it in spring ^^

¿Tiene historia? Bueno, fue difícil de obtener porque en ese entonces no tenía paypal, y Candy, una lolita española fue buena onda y acepto que le pagara por western unión. Fue una transacción algo problemática, y agradezco que Candy fuera tan paciente, y al final lo obtuve <3 Dejé de usarlo porque se rasgo un poco en el pecho y no quería tocarlo por miedo a empeorarlo. Fui capaz de arreglarlo en el 2012, pero engordé mucho y no lo pude usar. Por fin este ultimo año perdí todo el peso ganado y estoy lista para usarlo de nuevo esta primavera ^^

Picture of the last time I was able to wear it in 2011.

Innocent World Tea Party in Vienna

On October 12 was held the Innocent World Tea Party in Vienna. Tickets were sold months ago and they were sold out in minutes! I was really lucky to get one. Since at that time there was no paypal in Serbia, it was painful to make the payment, but thanks to my family and friends in Mexico, I was able to pay ^^

The day came and I woke up super early to take my plane. I arrived some hours later and ran to the hostel to take a shower and change my clothes. Sadly it was a bad hair day, and I had nothing to fix it! I did all I could and went to the hotel where the Tea Party would be.

I arrived and it was awesome, it was the first time I saw such an amount of beautiful well dressed lolitas.

One Month in an Appartment in Finland

It was my turn to go to Finland. I went the night before to the train station to take my train to Budapest, since flights from there are way cheaper than from Belgrade. I arrived in the morning and killed time until 5. Since for some weird reason I wanted to get Pizza Hut really bad, I went to look for it, there was only one place that sells it, the Plaza Arena.  

 

Biiiig disappointment! But at least I found a beautiful dress at Orsay haha 

We are so poor we could only afford going to two countries

As I said in my last entry, he came to visit me from Finland, we spent two nice weeks and Croatia and Slovenia were the next places to visit. I really wanted him to go to Plitvice, the national park in Croatia so, the trip was tiring, all night long from Belgrade to Zagreb and then 2 hours and a half to Plitvice.

I won’t put pictures of the park, but if you’re curious you can check this post I made in my LJ from the first time I went. It’s incredibly beautiful, and something that everyone should see before dying haha

Finland Meets Mexico in Serbia

In one of my entries I wrote about a trip I made to Finland, well, now it was his turn to visit me. It all started on August 6, he arrived at midnight and after 3 months, I was so happy, excited and nervous to see him again. When I saw him crossing that door, I couldn’t believe it was real, I just ran to hug him. Sadly when we were in the bus… it broke down ¬¬ sooo, we had to walk home. At least he didn’t get mad or anything, even though he was really tired, I was the one who was mad =P

  

The 7 Deadly Sins

Esta vez la actividad lolita consiste en escribir sobre los 7 pecados capitales en el Lolita. Cuando recién leí sobre esta actividad me la imaginé un poco diferente, sin embargo, también esta es divertida, así que vamos a ello.

This lolita activity is about the 7 deadly sins in the lolita. When I first heard about it, I imagined it a little bit different, however, this is fun too so, let’s start.
