Summer is great! Oh...wait...

I'm a bit late but still in time to give a proper welcome to our beloved season: summer!

WELCOME! We missed you!

Actually, in my country, we're still missing you because you've being kind off shy, but that's OK. We'll wait.

And this is, in fact, a beautiful season. We have beaches, sun glasses, skirts, beautiful days with bright blue sky, lots and lots of skin showing...and this is where summer shows its dark side. It's just that...I really do NOT want to see some parts of some people's skin. Really. Sometimes it just hurts my eyes. Ok, I can go and show some legs but do I really need to show off my butt? Do I??? No. I don't think so. 

Another thing: the smell! Oh Lord, the SMELL. And if you usually use the bus or the subway, you know what I'm talking about: some people just don't bath! I don't know why and I really don't care. Just...do it! Go on and take a bath! Not a small one, you need a real bath and also some deodorant, please! I don't deserve this. I don't think I did any harm to anyone to deserve something like your hideous smell!

Summer also brings lots of bites from all kind of flying insects. You can try all you want to keep your windows closed: they will get into your house anyway! And then you'll be awake all night long trying to kill those mother efer's. And maybe you'll succeed...maybe not. It's an all-time mystery.

Another thing about summer? I don't know about you but I become a lot more self-conscious. I mean, we're almost naked when we're at the beach so I end up thinking "Why didn't I make exercise during winter, why didn't I diet? I'm a fat bastard!". Eventually I just forget about that and go and have fun at the beach.

This year is different, though. I made a commitment with myself to be healthier. So, I've been eating more salads, more fruit and vegetables and I've been trying to run at least 2 days a week. The goal is to go 3 times a week but it has been raining so...no can do. I really can't tell any difference but it has only been 2 weeks since I made this decision so...I'll try to be patient and wait for my bikini body...I mean...to be a better and healthier person (cough, cough, I just really wanna be hot, cough cough).

What about you? What do you love about summer and, since we're being honest here, what do you really hate about this season? Comment below ;)

Now, have yourself some good vibrations!

See you later, alligator!

Are you a socially awkward penguin?

Hello! Good night everyone! It's 12 a.m. here, as I'm writing, so, for me, it's a big "good night" for y'all!

So, you might be wondering what kind of a subject is this we're gonna be talking about today. Well, I might as well just put it out there: I'm a big fat penguin! I mean, I'm not fat but I am a penguin, don't be fooled by my stunning looks (see the girl in the background? Yeah, that's me...cough).

(enter advertiser voice) So, are you a certified penguin??? Take this quiz and find out now! (wink)

1. When you're talking to someone, are you worrying about where to look instead of actually paying attention to what the other person is saying?
2. When in social situations, are you constantly thinking about where to put your god damn hands? (Pockets? No, that's awkward...I'll just cross my arms...hum, this way I look frightened. I'll put my hand in my waist, just like th...oh now, it's like I'm mad at someone! You know what? I'll just hold my arm like I'm afraid it'll fall down. Yeah...this is cool. I'm really relaxed.)
3. Do you cover your mouth when you laugh?
4. Do you hide your entire face when you laugh?
5. Do you hate when a stranger enters the elevator you're at?
6. (Giving the fact that you're not a stutterer) Do you falter/stutter when you're talking to someone you don't know very well?
7. Do you block when someone gives you a compliment?
8. When someone says "thank you", do you answer back with a "thank you"?
9. Do people tend to think you're antipathetic when first meeting you?
10. Do people tend to ask you if you're sad when you're actually perfectly fine?
11. "Oh, did you try to call me? What? Nine times? Oh...my phone must have been in silent mode." Is this a sentence you'd use to justify the fact that you really just didn't want to answer the phone ('cause talking on the phone is like torture to you)?
12. When you see a group of friends/pears/colleagues hanging around, do you isolate yourself thinking "I'd better go there...hang around. But they didn't call me. Maybe they just don't like me. Well, but Sarah just went there and they didn't call her either. Do they even know who I am? I don't wanna be nosy...besides, Sarah has that cool bottle, it's different."?
13. Do you avoid stores where you just know that the employee will interact with you? (Like, when they're standing by the entrance, for instance.)
14. Do you blush when addressing to a small audience?

If you answer positively to at least six of these questions, WELCOME TO THE GANG, you're officially a socially awkward penguin! Congratulations!

And, by the way, there's a lot more questions I could have added here but I'd be here all night long and it's almost 1 a.m. and you have a life so, this is it for today.

We, penguins, are proud of who we are! Power to the penguins! Don't be ashamed of a little social awkwardness. It's harmless.

I hope you liked today's entry. Don't forget to follow me on Twitter! Also, we're on Facebook, have a look. 

Have a great weekend ;)

See you later, alligator!
