Shopping is helping me a bit

I'm trying to keep myself busy during the day, while waiting to hear my boyfriend and while sending my CV, but it's very hard.


This morning I woke up with the idea of doing shopping for myself and to take the chance to buy some stuffs which have something to do with my friend's wedding at the beginning of September.
I drove my car to the Hobby & Legno shop, which is quite close to the shopping centre where I used to work in 2004 and where I sent my job application in the past days.


I don't know why, but lately I'm inspired by stamping together with scrapbooking.
Well, today I found very nice rubber stamps and other great products. I felt guilty because I don't like to spent money when I don't work, but I ended up thinking that it'd be one of the possible methods to feel a bit better in this period, as my shopping is often strictly related to my hobbies, so it can keep my mind busy and creative at the same time.


I found some images of the products which I bought today, I spent almost 40 Euros, b,ut it's been worth the while.



wooden alphabet



3D stickers



paper flowers



heart-shaped chipboard album



rubber stamps



page decorations


Now I can't wait to prepare a nice card or a nice page for my friend's wedding, I absolutely need to think about different things in these days or I'll go crazy (it's such a hard period for me because everything is pending and unsure)!

I heartily suggest this great song

I'm trying to avoid to think too much, but it's almost impossible, so I decided to take inspiration from a wonderful song by one of the greatest Italian singers and I couldn't avoid to share this new song.

The singer is Jovanotti, he'd be Lorenzo Jovanotti, but in reality its real name is Lorenzo Cherubini and the special song is called "Fango" which means "Mud".
I decided to put here the video of the song and I translated the lyrics in English for you, I hope you'll enjoy it, for me it's really precious.
See you soon, ciao!




You can find the original lyrics here


"Mud"
(by Jovanotti - translated by Desi)


I know that I'm not alone
even when I'm alone
I know that I'm not alone
I know that I'm not alone
even when I'm alone

under a sky of stars and satellites
among the guilties, the victims and the survivors
a dog barks at the moon
a man looks at his hand
it seems his father's one
when he was a child
he held him as nothing and lifted him
the panorama was nice from the high
he launched into things before the thought
his hand was small but caught the whole world
now the city is a foreign movie without subtitles
the stairs to walk up are slides, slides, slides
the ice onto the things
the tv tells the streets are dangerous
but the unique danger which I really feel
is the one of being able to feel nothing anymore
the scent of the flowers, the smell of the city,
the sound of the scooters, the flavour of the pizza,
the tears of a mom, the ideas of a students,
the possible crosses in a square,
of staying with the antennas towards the sky
I know that I'm not alone

I know that I'm not alone
even when I'm alone
I know that I'm not alone
and I laugh and cry and I melt myself with the sky and the mud
I know that I'm not alone
even when I'm alone
I know that I'm not alone
and I laugh and cry and I melt myself with the sky and the mud

the city is a foreign movie without subtitles
a pot which cooks pieces of dialogues
how are you, how much is it, what time is it,
what's up, what do you say, who does believe it
and so see you
you feel alone at the part of the target
and you become a leper when you make a mistake
a sign of six metres says everything is around you
but you look around you and on the contrary there's nothing
an ancient world which is unite only thanks to the ones
who still have the courage of falling in love
and a music which pumps blood into the veins
and which gives the desire of waking up and getting up
stopping to complain
that the unique danger which you really feel
is the one of being able to feel nothing anymore
the beat of a heart into the chest,
the passion which makes a project grow,
the appetite, the thirst, the evolution in action,
the energy which is provoked in a contact

I know that I'm not alone
even when I'm alone
I know that I'm not alone
and I laugh and cry and I melt myself with the sky and the mud
I know that I'm not alone
even when I'm alone
I know that I'm not alone
and I laugh and cry and I melt myself with the sky and the mud

and I melt myself with the sky and the mud
and I melt myself with the sky and the mud

Life goes on, what I need to do now

It's thundering outside, but only with dampness and without rain, as usually.
I'm totally unable to sleep, I'm not tired at all today or at least my mind provokes this feeling.

Yesterday evening I delivered my job application at the ipermarket where I used to work in 2004, it's situated just before Bologna in the Eastern part of the province; in the past I worked as cashier, but this time I want to be merchandiser, also with the help of one of my mother's friends who works for that company too, she uses to do the night shift and I really don't mind if it's necessary the same for me, on the contrary I think that it'd be nice to have spare time during the day.

Here it's a shot taken by a friend who works into the shopping centre too, but into a shop inside it and not into the ipermarket (that "bad building" behind the shopping carts is a parking with multiple floors, I don't like it at all, but at least it offers more space for cars):

In these days I also sent an application to become presenter for a very nice and new Italian company called "2BCrafty" which sells scrapbooking and stamping products, on September they'll start to interview the candidates and I really hope to be one of them, their products are very beautiful, I'd be delighted to present them and maybe I'd become also my first job...what a dream!!

I'd like to write a river of words and thoughts, but it seems that I'm not able to exteriorize nothing really important and interesting to read.

Thanks a lot to the ones who make me feel that I'm not alone and that I'm loved even if it's not possible to meet in person, I'd like to get even!!!

Have a nice time and see you as soon as possible with my news, a lot of kisses, ciao friends!

LITTLE UPDATE AT 2 pm


Thanks a lot, Nessa, I can't wait to pay and receive your great coloured kit which also includes a very beautiful pinky, I finally can have one of them too, hooray!!!
