Earthquake.

I was in my first real earthquake yesterday. I am very happy to say that no harm was done to me or my family, although my house has a few extra cracks and schools have been shut down due to structural damage. My room has two floors: the original room was 5 meters high, so my parents decided to install a mezzanine to make my room “bigger”. I love my room: my bed and closet are...

Se Quest'é un Uomo / If this is a man

Today is the Giornata della Memoria (remembrance day) in Italy, in memory of those massacred in Nazi - Fascist concentration camps in WII. If you can, take some time to read some of Italian Jewish Chemist and WII Survivor Primo Levi’s work. I found a website with a few of his pieces, here’s the link: http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/4187.Primo_Levi. “You who live safe In your...

Jealousy, definitely.

When I see posts of Chiara Ferragni going to Cinema Festivals and Fashion Shows, I get super angered because she literally is a nobody, doing nothing but taking pictures of herself in fancy clothes, traveling the world to take more pictures. When I advance my criticisms toward her people say: “Well she’s a genius, she created an empire for herself from scratch.” No, she...

Weird cravings.

Okay, so here’s the deal. Whenever I’m in Italy, I’m not a shopaholic. I go, I buy what I need, and I’m usually pretty good at it. I’m always able to find the one thing I need in the store, the one I absolutely wanted and had seen on magazines, tv, the girl next door blablabla. But when I go to the States, there is no cash limit that can stop me. I buy, buy, buy,...

Mononucleosis: just what I needed

to start my year fresh and healthy. My throat feels like someone shoved an oversized Beenie Baby down it. My temperature keeps rising and dropping. I’m thirsty as heck but it’s too painful to drink. My legs are not holding my body when I walk. My head feels like the nerves inside it are being ripped by nails.

Music in Italy

It struck me as kind of weird that people didn’t think we listened to English/American Music in Italy, so I thought I should speed people up as to what happens over here. Music people think we listen to Laura Pausini Eros Ramazzotti Tiziano Ferro Andrea Bocelli Music we actually listen to Cheap vulgar Italian pop bands Mainstream American/British bands Adele. Vasco Rossi / Ligabue Italian...
