The Dream

Hey Hey all!

So after one month of being here in Spain and a series of semi-failed outtings, I still haven't gotten quite into any kind of groove or routine that is even close to the social world I'm used to. Today I decided to let the ink hit the paper just flow. Here what I came up with:

P.S. The Australia reference is based on this-


Non Student Moment of the day-

Scene- me at a bar in an attempt to meet people

Me- Are you from there (pointing to this guy's shirt that says Australia)

Him- Yes, Where are you from?

Me- Los Angeles

Him- Why do Americans always say exactly where they're from?

Me- Well the US is such a big country

Him- Well So is Australia...

Me (in my head)- Well thanks for making me feel like an asshole -_-


Until next time!

A Love Story Waiting To Be Written...

Hey Hey all,

  So it is officially SEPTEMBER (Ahh!) The month I've been anticipating since last November when I started investigating my auxiliar application. The month I've told people my new life would begin. It's here, and all I can say is (Ahh!) lol.

  As you can tell though, that's not what this entry is about. It's something that has been on my mind for a while, and I guess now is as good of time as any to write about it. 

 You see the thing that the first thing that most people tell me when I tell them that I'm moving to Spain is "I'll be waiting for the wedding invitation" or "Oh you're gonna fall in love and never come back." I usually just laugh and say "We'll see..." I know what some of you are going to say....Don't anticipate anything, what is supposed to happen will come to you... And I know that. I guess the lonely girl scared of growing old by herself really wants those assumptions to be true. 

I'm not saying I'm going to go actively look for love. All I'm saying is I'm just at a point where I hope it's my time. I want a Mario or an Álvaro (Two excellent love stories from fellow auxiliares). I want to be able to write about a different kind of butterflies. 

I know I'm being silly and real life isn't like the movies, but a girl can dream...

Thanks for reading all. Remember first to comment gets to be the first Reader Spotlight for Mi Nuevo Capitulo.

Until Next Time,

<3 Cathy

12 days, 9 hours, 8 minutes left!

I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss...and a prince I'm hoping comes with it...

Hey Everyone!

So I've survived the first week of classes for my last year of undergrad. It's gonna take some getting used to getting up earlier since I'm not living on campus any more, and I have to take the bus, but it's not that bad in time I'll be a pro. I definitely have a full plate this semester, and a few bumps in the road already, but I have to keep my eye on the prize, in May I'll have my B.A. and be ready (or sorta ready) to take on the world!

As far as the title of this blog, it was the inspiration for pretty much the topic of this entry. The past two nights I have succumbed to watching first "The Wedding Date" and then "Enchanted," and although these movies are really cute, I can't help but feel a tinge of sadness at the end when they walk off into the sunset with their happily ever after, cause it reminds me that I'm without a duet.

Now, I know what you're thinking... "You don't need anyone"..."You're still in school, its better that you're single"..."You're young just have fun, don't worry about those things"..and any other phrase in the same vicinity. And the truth is I find myself saying these phrases to myself whenever that shadow of loneliness is following me.

I am aware of the fact that I have so many dreams and aspirations that are yet to be accomplished, and sharing my life with someone may mean a block in the road for those dreams to come to life. I also know that I am super busy and a relationship right now is pretty out of the question because in order for it to have a chance to be successful time needs to be put into that relationship for it to grow.

All of these thoughts are my brain saying "Cathy be logical, now is not the right time for a boyfriend, keep your eye on the prize." My heart seems to have a different plan though, human nature is taking over and making my heart year for companionship, it wants to have someone to call and say goodnight to, to have someone to hold hands with, to have someone and feel a deeper connection.

But alas, here I am alone writing this blog on a Saturday night. For over a year I have not really bothered with any romantic type relationships, but now I think my heart is noticing and really getting to the point where it's sort of like "Cathy you're overdue, time for a date" lol

So I don't know where the next few months (or years) will lead on this subject, I know I have to be patient, and it will come at the time is right, but somebody tell my heart that on those quiet nights... I'm sure I haven't seen my last romantic comedy, but I think maybe next time we'll try to pick something with action.

Thanks for reading, Comments are always appreciated :)
