Not my night!

Tonight for sure wasn't a great night for little me. I've been working five hours selling only three make up products - people were around walking, eating and drinking for free not to do shopping. The most positive thing with this fancy evening was all the extremely good looking people that was around. 8 out of 10 was spectacularly well dressed and it was fun just standing there looking at people. However, when getting out of Rinascente it was a big mess around. Packed of people, loud music everywhere and lots of drunk people (something you rarely see on the streets here in Italy). All I wanted was to find a taxi to get home but when seeing the queue at the taxt station I understood I would get home quicker just walking my speed walk.

Now I'm in a very bad mood, gonna pack my bag and then go to bed. My holidays has started - 8 days off from work and just total relax!

Fashion night out in Milan

Tonight it is the big fashion night here in Milan and the high fashion brands stores will be open until 23.30. Last year I was around with Stefania enjoying free drinks, snacks and famous people all over the town. This year I have to work! Rinascente will host a famous DJ and some special guests has been invited. I don't really mind working, guess we gonna have some fun at work too but I do mind Riccardo Scamarcio at the Paul & shark event :(

I work until 23.00 and instead of joining any fashion parties tonight I will go home and sleep as tomorrow I am off for my girl weekend in Riccione with Stefii :))

This is me tonight. A bit blurry pic but I am in a hurry...

Pilates

As one of my missions with my training is to get more flexible I have to try to do some pilates, yoga and power stretching courses. Today I went for an one hour pilates class! It was a bit harder for the muscles than I thought but for a stressed person like me it was far to slow, I just wanted to speed up every single exercise we did... But maybe it is good for me to attend pilates and yoga so I can learn to slow down a bit? Anyway, I have to say I felt very good when walking home. I have done hard training but my body did not feel as hard as the other days.

Now I have to get ready for the big evening at work!

Dinner at Jap One

And once again Torri and I went back to Jap One and this time we brought along our friends too. They got all you can eat of a Japaneese buffet plus free order of sushi from the menu for 15euro. We all ate more than enough and went home full and happy.

My 75 min gym program

Today I was supposed to have a Pilates class but when I arrived at the gym I was told it had been cancelled. Very disappointed I thought of just walking back home again but my PT saw me and convinced me to stay and do my gym exercise program and come back for the Pilates tomorrow.

The program my PT has set of for me contains 15 minutes on the cross trainer, 45 minutes of exercises on the machines, then some abs exercises and in the end 15 minutes of stretching. Even if I don't like the leg machines I went on with my whole program with a smile on my face.

Now I feel a bit more energetic than this morning so I gonna have a shower, then a big lunch before starting ticking off my to do list.

Today I don't feel like doing anything

Today I have the day off and I manage to wake up on totally the wrong side. I had my alarm at 10am but already at 9am I woke up by the phone beeping, I answered and a Russian girl is asking if I would be interested to work as a model for their car promotion this afternoon.... I answered her that I am not a f*** model and hanged up. Now I feel a bit bad about it but I can't call back as she called from a private number.

Now I just had breakfast, have read the news and looked at some blogs and I think I will just go back to bed for a couple of hours. I have a long list of things I need to do today but I just don't fancy doing anything! Think I just gonna turn off my phone and stay in bed until I have to go to the gym and attend a Pilates class.

"Today I don't feel like doing anything

I just wanna lay in my bed

Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone

'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all, nothing at all

Ohh ohh ohhh"

I feel exactly like that! This video makes me smile though :)

California Bakery with Tamara

Tonight I hate Milan. They just raised the underground/bus tickets from €1 to €1,50, in other words a raise of 50%! But the service is crap as before. As this is the country that loves striking for nothing (just look at the premier football league...) obviously the public transport is striking at least once a month as well. I can be happy that I live quite central and wherever I go in the centre it would never take me more than an hour to get home by foot. But there are days when I don't fancy walking home late in the evenings and today was one of those evenings. But I had no choice as the underground was closed and the trams passes whenever they wanted to pass I just had to put my walking shoes on (had ballerinas in the bag) and 40 minutes walk later I'm now at home and I'm pissed.

Anyway, before getting fed up I was out for a lovely dinner with Tamara who's finally back from hysteric New York. We ate at California Bakery and this time I had a bagel in the Italian style with parma ham, mozzarella and some vegetables. We enjoyed the food, the warm evening and talked about our August happenings.

My feet are aching so I think I gonna have a shower and go to bed and read my book. Tomorrow I have the day off, jippi yeay!!

All about abs

Today at the gym I first went on the cross trainer for 20 minutes and then running for 10 minutes. I love the cross trainer but I just hate running, however for now I just do what my personal trainer is telling me to do. Afterwards I joined the "Abs class" - a 30 minutes long exercising class concentrated just on the abs and I must say it felt very efficient. After one hour of morning training I turned down with a 20 minutes elaborated stretching program.

Another mission I have with my training is to get MUCH more flexible. At the moment I can hardly reach my toas when sitting down with my legs straight in front of me, and that is NOT ok, so I have to work hard on that as well!!

Now it's time for lunch and then I'm off to work. What a perfect day... gym, lunch, work and then tonight I think I'm going for a drink with a girl friend; couldn't be much better :)

Good morning gym!

09.45am and I'm already at the gym. I feel like a good girl ;)

The social Network movie

The story about the birth of the social network Facebook. The Harvard undergrad genius student Mark Zuckerberg starts working on this new Internet idea.... Six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this movie shows what personal and legal complications this young entrepreneur have had during the way.

I know I'm a bit late watching this The social network movie but it hasn't really been in my interest. It was Luisa choosing it and in the end I actually liked it, it was kind of interesting. Like I saw written somewhere "you don't get 500 million friends without making few enemies"...
