Westlife, la vida del oeste?

Our first kiss happened on a "typical romantic" night out for dinner and then to watch "Ice age 3" in the cinema.

After some gorgeous red wine and a shared dessert in an Italian restaurant in “Calle Pizarro” we went to the closest cinema in Calle Orbegoso just 2 blocks away from each other near the Plaza de Armas. 

We didn't even care which movie we were going to watch or the time, or the seats or anything, I suppose we just wanted to change the scenery. Passing from being under the public eye, having people staring at us and hearing our conversation; my extremely poor English and his non-existent Spanish; we just went to one of the most ordinary places to have a date at; the cinema!

How romantic is that?


The next movie showing was like an hour and a half away but we didn't care at all! We didn't even care if people saw us in the streets holding hands, he didn't care when people called him gringo and we didn't care when we sang out loud in the foyer of the cinema.

Westlife is one of the bands I learned English with, apart from UB40. I learned purely from imitating the sound of the words and "reading" them on a karaoke program when I was about 10 or 11.

I did not know that Westlife was an Irish band as well as Baileys (my favourite drink) and MY OWN FIRST NAME!!! and many other things I loved without any explanation I don't even know where I know them from but there we were singing "MORE THAN WORDS" together in public, just looking at each other and enjoying every wonderful minute.

It was kind of way too much of a coincidence. Was it fate? We like to believe so :)


Where was my aim of keeping my privacy away from the public eye, I don't know. By that time I stopped caring about the people around and I kept singing. The only thing I knew is that I liked this guy a lot. 

And the way he has been making me feel since is another day's post ;)


Did Westlife bring us together? Did my name do so? Or just the fact that I worked on TV? Was it my eyes? Was it my braces? Or my spots? Was it because I was just 18? Or What?
I think it is very difficult to know what brings a couple together. What do you think?

Snowing knackers!

I am loving the snow and although it is getting a little bit dangerous and I can't feel my fingers and toes I am having a good time.

I have not play the snowballs wars yet but I did get attacked by a family of knackers...
I was walking from Graffton St. to Candem St. on saturday morning, which I regret doing now because I went from one of the nicest places in town to a horrible kind of nightclub full of weird people just because my bloody boyfriend and his friends were there supposedly giving a tour to an Argentinian rugby journalist who came to cover the match that ("Of course") Ireland .

The point is that I was in a veeeery bad mood. I was wearing very high heals and a dress. I wouldn't have had any problem going to that place if I was wearing the right clothes; to be part of the crow; white runners, jeans and a collar-up T-shirt.

On top of everything this mother with around 10 kids just started to trow snowballs at my girlfriend and I -deadly close-

I said: - "Are you serious? Are you for real? Don't do it! Stop!

They wouldn't stop doing it.
For gods sake!

YOU KNACKERS!!!
That's all I attemped to say as I wasn't going to touch any snow with my hands...
As the truth is the most hurtful thing they got REALLY angry! Two of the boys followed us a few meters saying "What did you say? What did you say?" As he was making the snowball bigger and harder.
YOU KNACKERS!!!
I felt sorry for the young fellaws because it isn't their fault to
Thanks god he didn't hit me but I will follow some friend's advice and not say anything next time or I might end up in the Dublin mountains or however is called xD

NOTE: If you are reading this and you consider yourself a knacker please understand that I am very angry and I have been wanting to say this since I came to Ireland because they really piss me off! But remember that you can always be a cool knacker :)
