Mimidora The Explorer

Tonight i am going back to Ya'sta for the Fluor party :) because Secci, and María de Almería will be there and it's a good time to ask my questions because my exam is tomorrow :) hahaha! I know it's weird. Party before the exam :p

Here's a picture of Secci, me and another pretty María, María Zaragosa :) so much Marías here i think i have to change my name to María too.

Anyway, my day started boring as usual. I studied my old exercises and yeah basically morning is study time.

When Mamá Eva arrived, she cooked something for lunch :) Paella!!! But this one is special because unlike in the Philippines where we use chicken and seafoods, here some people like Mamá prefer conejo... bugs bunny... playboy RABBIT :) hahahaha!






She's an excellent cook!!





I asked her why did she not start her own business and she said she wanted to but she would prefer cooking for her students and a smaller group :)


















After lunch, i went to school and wow was the lesson diffiult today. Ugh... Or maybe i just need to rest my mind.

But anyway, Yahan brought us Turron. Now i know what Turron is. If you guys read my Huelva post when i viaited Huelva, i ate ice cream Turron flavor :) it's Nougat :)






After class, i went straight home to read a little more, and prepared for tonight. An we had paella again for dinner and i love it!!!







When i got off at Gran Vía, i walked around a little because i was a bit early. Yes 24:30 is early here in Madrid. And then i bumped into María de Rusia or María Ozerova :) and since the place was not open yet we devided to go to another one first

I forgot the name but the ambience was great and then we had a Malibu con Piña which is now officially my favorite. It took the number 1 spot from Mojito. Those are my favorite drinks that are not too strong.


















I will have to say that María is one of the best people i've ever met here in Madrid. She's very funny and she's kind and i love talking to her.





We met a person named Marcelo who had a business near by. He volunteered to take our picture and so we had a little chat because he also wanted to speak english but he has no one to practice with so he spoke english sometimes, and we spoke spanish almost all the way :)

After that we went back to Ya'sta. And por fin! Secci and María de Almería were there!!
And the glowing people!!





Too bad i was not able to take a picture with María de Almería.

I met new friends, Ramon, and María Zaragosa. Yes i was surrounded by Marías :)





And i also met Severin from Switzerland and his friends from France :) sorry i cannot rotate.





And ofcourse my lovely professor and friend Secci and another beautiful María. I love Spanish people. They're so friendly and easy to talk to. And during the party i was such a kill joy because i kept on asking grammatical questions but thy did not mind and i love it when they correct me when i say something with wrong grammar but now i felt more confident to speak because i can actually carry a conversation already :) i don't look as much in my dictionary anymore :) thanks to Secci and his beautiful Tres Marías :)





Notice how everyone needs to crouch a little for a picture with me :) hahahahahahaha i always tell them i am the missing super cool dwarf of Snow White :) and my name is "Hungry" because i love food. Hahahaha!

And then María Ozerova and i decided to call it a day because we have classes :) and look how nice the lighting is in Madrid a night. That's why it's not scary to go home at night ornin the weeeeeee hours of the morning because it's so bright and police still roam around.





And now i have to say i made the most out of this day. It's what we love to say in the Philippines "study hard, party harder"... But i did it equally :) i studied while partying :) hahahahaha! Muy bien! Tres puntos para mi! :) hahaha! No sé porque tres. (i don't know why 3).

-- ¡Buenas Noches Madrid!

My eyebags are so bad now. Haha! I could not sleep right away last night probably because i had a long siesta yeaterday afternoon. But oh well, i am excited for tonight because we were invited to a discoteca. Our professor does guest lists :) hahaha! How cool is he?

I know i am a dork, it's my first time to enter a discoteca in my 23 years of existence in this beautiful place we call Earth. I don't go out much at night back home in the Philippines and they would not believe that I am of legal age anyway. haha! Well, I went to a discoteca here because It is part and parcel of the culture of Madrid. The people are so alive at night. Very nocturnal people indeed. It's amazing! haha! So I guess I just have to be proud to say that my first "club" experience was in Spain :)

After class i decided to take a left instead of a right (right is to go to the San Bernardo station to go home). Left is toward El Corte Ingles. To those of you who have forgotten what El Corte Ingles is, it's a department store chain sort of like ShoeMart or SM in the Philippines mixed with Rustan's. Why do i say so? In terms of the number of stores all over Spain and the diversity of stuf you can buy, it's so SM. Rustan's for the quality and feel of the place. On the way there i saw this ad. They're looking for this man who has Alzheimer's disease who got lost. I hope they find him...




Well, i went to El Corte Ingles to do an errand for my mum but when i got out, i saw the biggest Zara i have ever seen so far. It's a 4 storey Zara! And why do i want to post this? Because i have friends who love Zara :p hahahaha. Me? No i don't normally buy from Zara because they don't usually have my size.















Well, after checking out the place i went to the Argüelles station to go home and this is how it looks like. Why does line 1 seem to be the most "antigüo" of all lines? This line by the way is line 4 and it looks great




I saw this driving school car on my way home. Haha!





At home i had smoked salmon with pesto and fresh mozzarella cheese, pita bread and tuna. Madre Mia! buenisimo! Oh and tomato soup :)











I studied and took a nap and then i prepared. This is the place we went to:




I met up with Bianca and Rosie and we went around Chueca and Malasaña area. We tried the mojito of this mexican bar:










And then we went to a small cozy shop and i drank tea, but the girls took another round of mojito. I enjoyed talking with Bianca and Rosie and you should have seen them bitching at the 2 horrible guys on the street. Epic moment! Hahaha!





Well, after a while we went already to the ya'sta and yes i brought my driver's license :p
 And here's Secci's Schweppe's Tonic drink under black light
I took a picture of the people dancing under black light













We saw Secci :) and he introduced us to his best friend Maria whonis also from the same place he vame from, Almería. Rosie and Bianca left and i stayed with Maria and she helped me practice my Spanish. I just observed and danced a little ofcourse but it was more of chit chat night with Maria and i absolutely love her! :) she's very nice and she helped me a lot with my grammar.

With Maria and Professor Secci :)




And here's my very very first stamp :)





I also befriended the 2 bouncers :) hahahahahaha!

It's a good thing Maria lived near My place so we went home together. And then that's it for me.

Buenas Madrugada (it's already after midnight :p) Madrid! (if ever that expression does exist).
