good morning!

Guten Morgen, guten Morgen,
guten Morgen, Sonnenschein!

lost

Solo voy con mi pena
Sola va mi condena
Correr es mi destino
Para burlar la ley
Perdido en el corazón
De la grande Babylon
Me dicen el clandestino
Por no llevar papel

dreaming of 80's


Dreams
are my reality the only kind of real fantasy
illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams it seems as if it's meant to be.
Dreams are my reality a different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night and loving seems all right
althought it's only fantasy.

...it may snow :)

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

what do you dislike?

You know when you have to undego stupid questions like "What do you dislike? What do you hate?". Most of the people I heard answer "hypocrisy". I also did sometimes, but I was never persuaded. Or sometimes I answered "indifference". But I think that today I found my answer.

I hate disappointment. When you expect something. When they promised you something that then you do not get. A gift maybe. A letter. So please, if you are not gonna keep that promise, just do not promise. I will love you the same, maybe more.

in my head

Na na na na na na na

Ciao Giu, Che fai...
Ci Ripensi un po' a noi
Non ci avrei scommesso mai..
scriverti cosi...io morirei..
Quanto tempo... Quanti ricordi..
Chiudo gli occhi e mi sembra di stringerti le mani..
parlo di te... da sola..
sogno di te.. nel buio
ma sogno non è,, mi manchi!
AMICA DEL CUORE!
Na na na na na na...

Sai Giu vorrei..
sapere cosa sei per lui..
ne parlavamo spesso noi
di quanto gli piacevo anch'io...
Le stagioni..sono passate..
Lontananze prima fredde poi bruciate...
come vorrei..stasera..
anima mia..sincera...
stare con te... DAVVERO!

AMICA MIA CAPISCO CHE VORREI...
AVERTI COME SEI..
QUANTA VERITà PUOI DIRE IN UNA LETTERA
SARà PERCHè NON SEI QUI CON ME!

Na na na na na na na na

Ciao Giulia Succeda quello che vuoi tu
IL MONDO TI SORRIDERA' ED IO SORRIDERO' CON TE!

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do

what's wrong with these people???

flip-flops, shorts, T-shirt and a cap...
...California in July?!? No, Iowa in November. 4 °C...

or maybe I should ask myself what's wrong with me!!!!!

where am I?

Another continent, another lonely office without windows (stupid architects putting the windows in the corridor!!!!!), very chilly air, sun shining, a campus, another language. Coming here I really realized what a mess my mind is. I switch among the 3 languages continuously!!!

I miss him, but I'm hopeful that we both will be patient.

Tomorrow a presentation...scary! I'm afraid always to know less than the others, to be less efficient, slower... but this trip will also help me to partially win these fears.

Back to the presentation!

Walking by yourself in the cold, cold winter
Wrapped up in your coat like
It’s a magic blanket
You say: "No matter where I go
They all look like strangers"
You see, the world only seems
The fairytale that it isn’t

Dream on, dream on
There’s nothing wrong
If you dream on, dream on
Of being a swan
