THE ONE WITH THE DRIVING LICENSE

Hello everyone!
I know i’m suposed to do this blogging thing every 2 weeks, that’s what I planned and I really really wanna stick to that plan, but I kinda have a lot of work and also plenty of things to do at home wich leaves a tiny amount of time for this... yeah whatever i know you won’t buy that amount of crap... I am a LAZY WOMAN! 😜
But here I am, once again with a funny story, well not sure how funny it will turn out... so here we go!
Little while ago, right after finishing High School along with a friend we sign up to get our driving license that summer trying to get it befor starting class at College, so we started the classes and we pass the theoretical test and started the practice classes. It was really fun learning how to drive, we had a pretty good teacher πŸ˜‰ So that same year when i was 18 years old in December i got my Driving license and my parents got me an old ugly car i really hated but if it works then its fine...
Even though that car didn’t last long in my house there is this one time I drove it to the University that i will never forget, as you know it was freshman year at college we were having a regular monday, that year we had evening classes on mondays (as  mondays weren’t bad enough), we finished arround 8pm and I taking a friend home we went to the parking but the car had other plan... It stopped right in the parking exit and didn’t seem to wanna come back on again!
Let’s take a look of the picture we have here, me, my friend and my ‘not working car’ at night in the university parking pretty cool huh?
Well wait for it cause it just gets better... As we were waiting and trying to figure out how to make the car work again (kinda hard for a two girls with a 2 week driving license) and a random nice guy with a broken arm sees us and stops to help and a few minutes later someone else stops helping us... guess who? Damn right OUR TEACHER! And you know there is only one way to make this moment just more unconfortable and that’s was when the teacher told us we would have to PUSH THE CAR, yeah like what could go wrong? 😱
Let’s talk about this new picture so we have my friend and I along with out teacher pushing the car while the broken arm guy is on the drivers seat, nice right? But the good point is it actually worked and we could finally drive home.
I don’t have to say after that night all classes with that teacher were a bit awkward, do I? and as a bonus we had that teacher every single year πŸ˜’
So after that story we come back to the present, when few months ago I got a letter saying I have to renovate my license this year and i was like WHAT? Are you kidding me? How is that even possible? I mean that embarasing moment feels like yesterday and now it’s been 10 years and I have to renovate my license?? Again... WHAT?
I got an appointment to that psych technical test needed to the renovation and so the freaking out begins....
‘I don’t even remember how the test was’ ‘Is there a chance I screw up?’ ‘Oh my God I will screw up, won’t I?’ ‘What will I do without a driving license??’
We already had a long story this post so I won’t make it two of it, 😜 I will skip the suspense, luckily nothing of the above happened, even though I got really really nervous that ‘stay into the line’ with those weird joysticks wasn’t that hard and I have my new driving license for another 10 years (please don’t make them pass as fast as the previous 10 ones). 

That’s all folks! Hope to see you soon!!

THE ONE WITH THE TARDIS

Hi there, last post was a pretty sentimental (and intense) one, so I thought we could use a little joy or humour this time.
I guess most people know what a Tardis is, but for those who don’t... you really should start watching Doctor Who asap!
I remember like 3 years ago... 3 years oh dear time flies! 😳 ... where was I... oh yes, a friend told me to watch Doctor Who, at first I was sceptical and refuse to watch it but in order to convince me we make a deal he would give a try to the series Constantine (have to say that He liked the series of course) and I would give the Doctor a try too. So he gave me a flash drive with a wisely named folder “Choose your doctor” with 3 episodes one of each doctor David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi, after watching them I have to say I chose the 10th Doctor (David) as my fave one but didn’t watched more episodes.
Until now, again thanks Netflix you really keeping me away from reality, I started to watch it again, starting on season 5 with the 11th Doctor (Matt) and well... I have to say it’s been 3 years since I picked up my fave Doctor but I may have to change that answer  πŸ˜‚
After watching that 8th Doctor movie (and kinda regretting it) I started with season 1 of new episodes (not sure I can handle the old ones) I also have to say I’m happy the 9th Doctor only lasted one season, so I can finally catch up on the 10th Doctor, I also enjoy pretty much all episodes from 12th Doctor (Peter) but you know... bowties and fez are cool! SO COOL! So I declare myself a huge 11th Doctor FAN!
At this point you may already know (and if you don’t is because you haven’t pay attention cause I told you on this post) I have a great imagination and a thing for renovation shows, thanks Scott Brothers 😜
So I was thinking as some houses have a small porch, a little entrance, in the front door, some are just a little celling but others are closed, have walls, those are the ones I like...
Maybe you can use some paint, you can paint the calls in blue, not any shade of blue of course, it has to be TARDIS BLUE, and you can add all the details you want so it can look like an actual Tardis parked just next to the house but as an entrance it can look like a house size inside πŸ˜‚
I know, I know, I’m a total nerd right now to some of you but I can think about a few people who would love to have one in their own houses. Also I have to say that is kinda probable that every time I entered my house I would think... let’s face it I would SAY “ITS BIGGER ON THE INSIDE”

That could be a really good Whovian (aka ‘Doctor Who fan’ for those not related to the word) detector cause they will also have to say that sentence too
So, if there is any Whovian reading this... are you still reading or did you already left to the paint shop to buy Tardis Blue paint?? πŸ˜‰

Guess that will be all for now, see you soon!!

THE ONE WITH THE GOODBYE ANIVERSARY

Hi guys,

Today is a sad day for me, I guess since 2015 every Nov 7th will be a sad day, cause that day I had to make a really difficult choice and I will never forget it.
But in order to tell you about that day I think you may wanna now a bit of backup story, so let’s go back in time to when I was a teenager.....
You may already know how every single kid on the planet wants a dog (maybe some who are scared of dogs don’t do but I have a friend that was scared of dogs until he got one now they’re inseparables)  but in my case I guess it was more than just “want”. Being an only child can be boring sometimes, all people with siblings complain about arguing but at least there is always someone in the house to play with.


So it came to September 2004 that something changed, a friend of my parents had some puppies and asked if we wanted one, of course it took me no time to say YES! But it took me a little bit longer to convince my parents... or should I say parent? 😜 With dad as partner in crime we went to pick up a little puppy while mom was at work (perfect crime... for a few hours, we’ll figure out what to say to her later) and when we got there she still have two puppies left a boy and a girl and I actually don’t remember, maybe don’t even know what I choose her but it was love at first sight 😍 but tell me who could not fall in love with this pretty face?


And there it she was really small in my hands, I had like five names even a fave one for her in my mind but when my dad asked me “What’s the name?” the word just came out without thinking... NUKA it felt right, it fit her and I loved it I could see the surprise on my dad’s face, that name wants even on the table. But it had to be Nuka, and from that day I knew we will be together forever! Or that’s what I thought back then.

 


That first day we arrived home and the very first thing she did when I put her on the floor of my room was pee on the carpet!! I took her as fast as I could to the “pee-place” and told her “I won’t say a thing if you promise to never do that again!” you can call me crazy cause a month old dog may not understand that level of blackmail but she actually never did it again so i guess it worked πŸ˜‚

 




That moment our journey together began, we shared room, she tried to steal my bed so many times I can’t even count, went for so many long walks, play and watch TV together, fight every bath time cause she really hated it, she loved her holidays at the beach, she had her own pups once and we have 6 little crazy lads running in home which was amazing, everything was great and years came along


 






But one day right after she turned 10 years old I think was November 2014 something changed, I notice something weird was happening and did some research, then went to the vet to confirm my theory, and sadly I was right Nuka had DIABETES, so we took blood samples every day for a week to stabilize the sugar in her system but I guess I were a bit late cause she went blind suddenly, here we started the fight.


Took her a few weeks to get used to not see, pretty hard ones, many times hitting herself with a door or a wall, I even had to put a bell on her necklace to be able to know when she was on the move so I could follow and help her and if that wasn’t enough we had the insulin injections twice a day 😱 as much as I have a huge needle fear how could I not do it?
With that dynamic we made it through another year, my little girl made it to her 11th Birthday!! Huge time, but again everything became more complicated after that.
She had some X-Rays and there were many things going wrong, her heart and lungs were too big, and the other organs were like out of place, she kept losing weight till the point you could notice every bone in her body, had some breathing problems and a terrible cough and everyday was getting worse. As she slept in my room the less she sleeps the less I sleep too...


It wasn’t right, it wasn’t fair, I could see she was suffering and so was I, always worried, always alert, taking care of her day and night, didn’t have a proper night of sleep in a long time and it started to pay back at me. I was on deny “she will get better” I keep saying to myself “she will get better and I’m fine I can take care of her as long as it takes” but none of it was true she wasn’t getting better and we were both exhausted.
I cried my eyes out for two days trying to both deny and accept the awful truth... I had to let her go, believe me that’s one hell of a decision to make.


Wow, it’s been a long ride, this post has been like a rollercoaster of emotions for me but here we are finally, right were we started, one year ago, November 7th 2015


That morning I took Nuka into my bed and hug her as hard as I could trying to make that moment last forever, but it couldn’t, so my dad and I went to the vet to put an end to her suffering. I don’t really know if it was some kind of faith thing but the Vet’s dog died few days before that he was kind of the same age as Nuka, so we actually could understand each other perfectly, (it’s been a year and we can’t talk more than 5 min without remembering our dogs and getting sentimental). He gave a sedative to sleep her before.... you know..... it was both the fastest thing and the longest day of my life, I just still can feel her in my arms slowly falling asleep, my eyes hurt of so many crying, and could see huge sadness in my dad’s face and suddenly she was gone... And now it’s been a year since that awful goodbye time really flies.

One thing is sure I will never forget you. I will always love you Nuka! We’re N&N  πŸΆπŸ˜


I’ll come back soon, hopefully with a happier story. See you soon.

THE ONE WHERE I’M WATCHING FRINDS ALL OVER AGAIN

HELLO WORLD!!!
Here we are again, or at least here I am hoping there’s someone on the other side πŸ˜…
Today I’m gonna tell you about how it feels to me to re-watch the series F·R·I·E·N·D·S. But first of all thanks Netflix for having the whole series to keep me apart from social life 😜

Let’s make some memory, Friends pilot aired in 1994, by that time i was 6 y/o maybe too young, but thanks to the many replays of the series I cached up fast, remember watching it at lunch time every single day after school, I seriously can say I knew ALL dialogues. But in 2004 all ended, I was 16 by then pure teenage cells running thought my body and I remember my teen-self thinking “When I grow up I’m gonna move out of my parent’s house, have a friend as roommate and have as much fun as they do!”

Yeah, young kids can be so naive...
Now, let’s come back to the present, is 2016, I’m 28, and after so many years I decided to rewatch Friends so I hit the Play button on season 1 and guess what, in that very first episode when they’re all cheering up Ross because of his divorce (because Carol was a lesbian) and Rachel showed up on her wet white dress after running off her own wedding leaving Barry on the altar, they looked all mature living by their own with adult problems, weddings, divorces, you know, well...  THEY ARE ALL UNDER 27!!! Well i mean, Rachel, Monica and Joey are 25 (What?! 25 can you believe it), Ross and Chandler are 26 and Phoebe is 27!
Feeling the weight of the world falling on my shoulders in 3, 2, 1... OH    MY    GOD! (confess you read this in Janice's voice right?)

Where did the last 10 years go? What the hell happened? Who spin the time wheel so fast? And Why nobody told me this would happen? 😱
I can remember now how at age 14 I had a plan, I was gonna get married at 28 and have a baby at 30... Suddenly I’m late for my own plan, I'm not even living by my own! WHAT?!
Maybe there is a moment in our life when we grow up and the monotony makes time go faster... So here is my message for all young kids out there with their very own plans for the future “Laugh lauder, love intensely, dance under the rain, do some crazy things, live every day to make it count, chase your dreams and NEVER, never waste your time! Cause one day it will be gone and you won’t be able to bring it back”

And with that deep thought i say goodbye to you guys, until the next time you decide to read all my silly post
Hope you had fun!

The One When I'm Back!!

HI EVERYONE!!!

It’s been a while but I’m back at this little place, did you missed me?
First of all I wanna let you know that this blog is having an extreme makeover and now is not only gonna be about gummy jewellery and handmade things... but also I’m gonna write about personal experiences, ideas and stuff so the time you come to this blog you’ll be literally entering to ‘MY Gummy World’.


I guess that in order to know if you’ll like my blog you may wanna know a bit more about me, well that could take a while actually (and those who stay maybe will accomplish that hard task) but I’ll try to make some kind of summary:
I’m Noe, a silly 28 year old Spanish girl who has a lot of crazy ideas maybe due to an excess of imagination, proud freak πŸ˜œ, photographer with my own point of view, addicted to so many series, I have a really long list of them been watched at the same time... (the list is always growing, thank you Netflix), fashion enthusiastic and an attempt of designer, #1 fan of home renovation tv shows dreaming to make a lot of renovations, fan of all Disney and animation movies, dog lover (and sadly ex-owner 🐢), galaxy defender, definitely mad and a bit witch.


To put it all in one sentence i could say I’m just a small town weirdo with really big dreams. Let’s hope i can make some of them come true πŸ˜Š

That’s all for know hope to see you soon!

xoxo Gummy Girl πŸ’—
