My summer of 2009 was in Milan, Italy. I travelled with my 5 friends, one of them 2 of them i always travelled during summer. It was 2 years ago we went to Palma de Mallorca Island in Balleares, Spain. Last year me and my other friend went to Amsterdam, The Netherland and this year the 3 of us again reunited in Milan, Italy.
Some say that Milan is dark and grey. Old building and quite dull, but on the contrary Milan is the shopping and fashion capital of Italy. From the top fashion areas and known Quadrilatero D’Oro….if you have money to spend why not here!!!!
Aside from that One of the best built church in Lombardy is the Duomo.The fascade are great representing its biblical based and religious icons. And you mersemerized with the view inside and the top over looking the centre of Milan.
Next to it is the Galeria Vittorio Emmanuel with is Dome!!
Party at night in one of the glam strip of Corso Como! And another early night stroll to the Barrio of Naviglio! ride with its tram and its buses all long way!!
Milan has a lot to offer. A day excursion to Lago Di Como as we did while we were there!!! its magnificent!!!

The other day and its so hot in Madrid, I went out with Peruvian friend Miguel and American friend Joana in one sunday afternoon. If you have been to Madrid and you’ve pass by Mercado San Miguel, they have restored that old market place into a new one, more modern and cosmopolitan. They offer there foods like olives, cheeses, jamon, chipirones and etc. They event had good pastries and delicacies so when you come to Madrid. Its worth a visit. Well back to the event, well as i can say we where there to chill out and had wines and a glasses of champagne and we meet this cool group of people. Like people said “ Madrid Abierto ” Madrid Open, to every people. We met Ismael, Carlos, Noiysi, Pedro, Fernando, and some other guys from Germany on the other table. We ended up good together that time. Since summer a good glass of Tinto de Verano is worthy now its too hot in Madrid.
This coming weeks i will be in Hiatus as holiday comes around! So Enjoy Summer!
If your not going somewhere this summer and just staying home on the afternoon and its the siesta time, dont ruin it and watch the series that Telecinco offer for the summer! ” Un Golpe de Suerte” , a mix of The O.C. a la Mediterreanean, and Dawson’s Creek style. See how the family with Marta and Luis, together with their children Mito, Ainhoa and Angel live their lives of love, sex and growing up. Top Photo is Fonsi played Raul Merida, the flat mate of Alberto who has a crush on him.
Alberto played by Gerard Marti, he was working as a barman in the Sunset club, and a flatmate of Victor. Secretly he has a crush on him.
Victor played by Jose Alvares, now friend of Fonsi. He was so upset as his father is gay and now living with him and his mom.
Angel played by Toni Bernetti, the son of Luis, and work as a DJ and lifeguard in the Sunset.
Let me tell you now what happened from the past months. An update of the four elements. I do hope you still remember what happen on that last summer. Dont know if they will go back again there. But i guess its a good time to go back since its summer and the dew of the morning is fresh and brezee.
One sunday afternoon that the element Fire went out with the apprentice. They scout the whole yard and the area of the Villa and then they turned up into Miguel’s fruit yard. Fire was so amaze of what he had seen, there are lots of fruits and vegetables around and in one corner side, a glittering green apples. These apples was captivated with his eyes and couldnt move on. The apprentice was dragging him off but yet he was still there unmoved. Then the owner of the vineyard came toward them and asked Fire if he wanted it. Then he replied a big ” YES” . Miguel’s face was so clear and with that smile in his face maybe thinking now this is the time. When Miguel would give Fire the apples, the apprentice drag him along and move. The temptation was almost there but thinking aside he said, why cant he have the green apples? Maybe another like Adam and Eve in the garden? But this is green. comoufladed. ” Temptations sometimes comes in every form, in every shape and in every way. No matter how good and beauty it poses still it hiddens motive inside ” Luckily Fire didnt caught into FIRE!
Element Wind went over months on his holidays. Leaving the mountains of Pyrenees where he currently resides. He has gone up north in the Kingdom where his apprentice Simon resides. They have toured the county and the castles around. Simon showed the village, where they get the boat and sailed it the whole afternoon. Soon he will be back in Pyrenees.
Element Earth and Water are still undecided. They havent been outside the Kingdom where they reside. Nor their apprentice where there too. Quiteness and calm for them.
Fire and his apprentice will go to the north in two weeks time to enjoy some of their holidays.
Barefoot boy and Lava Princess.
