Moved to Tiverton!!

I finally found a job as nurse woohaaa
In the UK WOOOOHAAAAA
Everything happened really fast. One day I was doing my boring restaurant-home, home-restaurant routine and then in less than a week I have passed 2 interviews and I was preparing myself to meet the unknown.
I was pretty scared at first. Have to went all alone to Malaga from Murcia and after that the flight to Exeter.
I came here last Friday and started today.
So during this weekend I've been exploring a little bit the town. Just a little bit because I had to buy lots of things for the house.
I was without any cutlery, detergent, food,etc.
But yesterday I took some photos in my way to find Marks & Spencer (which I finally found and it was closed or seemed close to me)
River Lowman. It has mallards
Phoenix Line at 9:30 a Sunday is like a ghost town
Pretty and well cared flowers on Phoenix Line


 Today I went again to buy some fresh vegetables or fruits. Ended up with onions and potatos for tortilla de patatas and a box of macarons! I NEEDED to taste them.
I thought they were more crunchy but they are slightly crunchy and spongy inside.
They come in dozens: 4 rasberry, 4 vanilla and 4 chocolate flavored

I will let my general impressions for another day ;)

Makeup experiment

Today was my day free so i spent it lazing around till the afternoon when i decided to experiment a bit with my appearance.I tried to do like other asians, cute faces and such (how original i am!! =D). And here is the result:


I`m an average girl non photogenic but that is what make up was made of! To transform us in something different : something pretty, ugly, sexy , someone from the other sex, maybe an avatar?
Also you can be more tricky and superstyle your hair or put a wig on, as i did.
Plus,we have the photography skills. I don't have really good photography skills but everyone knows, if you put enough effort, earlier or later will shown up something nice.
Add the typical shot from a higher angle (my big nostrils are very grateful about this) and close to a bright place
And if you want to do some tricks more you can always photoshop it. I didn`t cause photoshop hates me :(

I think my experiment came quite good. So next time i will try something more radical like Amy Winehouse, emo makeup or supersweet puking rainbowed winged pony tail make up

There`s a pic more,  i didnt know if the wig and make up will fit well my lolita outfits but it goes very well. Pity that it's getting hot here and wearing long sleeves will be suicide


And when i was taking the pics in the balcony i discovered that some tiny mushrooms had grown in one of the flowerpots behind, and also some garlic revived!!!! I planted those around 9 months ago
I'm a not very good gardener sob ¡___¡


After all it was time to dinner, and i have 火锅 (huo guo) all for me *w*
The bad thing is that i only had lamb, chinese turnip and shiitake mushrooms and i had it all alone. Huo guo is made to eat it surrounded by your people T_____T


Today they are not, but the next they`ll be for sure :)

Fajitas and bocatas

Yesterday i have a very nice eating day :)

Since i wake up very late (around 12:30 A.M ·3·) i usually start having lunch instead of the breakfast
That day i did chicken fajitas! Copying a friend recipe


Well, copying is not the right word because i just know the ingredients and i didnt even saw him cooking it. He made it in a friends meet up in a country house last winter and i just ate it up without mercy!
I didnt take too much pics because the hurry. I had to finish it before my sis went to university


ok ok, i know it, i was supossed to take the photo before bit it >.<. My sis was making so many bad faces that i had to take another photo...

 ...of the second fajita of course.
Now im hungry again ·¬· fajitaaasss ~~
The same day i went with my friend to take a look out some books in the libraries (It was the books day) and i took advantage and eated some churros with chocolate. yummy yummy (no pics this time sorry :3)
Obviously, when i went back to home i couldn´t have dinner. I was full of churros but destiny didn´t want to leave me in peace that night. Leo and Ana called me (i think this is the first time in the year they call me) to go out to dinner.
I would refuse their invitation if they hadn´t said they were going to x un tubo, a restaurant i have heard very nice criticism about their prices, cuantity and quality.


 Do you see that thing? for just 5,50€!!!! For your reference they have average women size hands xD
They asked for the bocata picantón and it's filled with spicy minced meat, tomato sauce and cheese


Also we have a cheese bacon fries, very similar to Foster´s Hollywood bacon cheese fries but with another sauce and for just 3,50€
When i finished there my stomach was going to explode in one hundred pieces of happiness
Next time i´ll go without eating too much previously......
