Alice, on CorriereTV, Milano

So proud of my beautiful and smart flatmate Alice!

You can meet her here: http://milano.corriere.it/cronaca/speciali/2012/mi-30/?alice

met on 4 march

Vale, at Angelo's place, Milano

I fell in love with her watching this video on saturday: http://milano.corriere.it/cronaca/speciali/2012/mi-30/?valentina and I met her the day after at my friend Angelo's place.

Valentina is the youngest, sweetest and atypical English teacher I have ever met. Every word she said gave birth to an insistent thought: I want to be a child and learn English from her!

Nico and Marco, pic borrowed from their facebook.

Unexpected saturday night in Bergamo. We went to PacìPaciana for a ska-reggae concert. The problem is that I don't like that kind of music at all. At least I've tried to dance.

By the way, we had a nice time. Thanks for animating my night!

Marginal note: they studied Audio Engineering at SAE in Milano and they are now looking for a job. If you need an audio technician for any kind of situation, or even a handmade speaker, just ask me.

colpa del fonico

after a long break,

i promise i'll do all my best to keep updating metyesterday. being always tired is not nice.
i'm waiting for an iPhone as graduation gift.

random people met during last month (those i've remembered to photograph):

 Sirio.
Officially part of Pane&Pasta family, even if we never meet. He is the founder and owner of OSART gallery in Milano. Think about going there if you want to start investing in art.

Alvise.
Alvise is from Venice. All people called Alvise come from Venice. Do you know any Alvise not coming from Venice?

 Little Steve Zissou.

Sudden temperature changes in February: from -15°C to +18°C.

 Dino, Marchino, Ste.

On the left: Marco. I think I'll never have the opportunity to see him dressed like this again.

On the right: Again Marchino and Dino, on the way to Tunnel club.

 Ste.
The easiest person to find on the dancefloor: dressed in yellow, wearing white sunglasses. We never lost him.

 The Chinese guy just out of Tunnel.

 Sergio and Alexia.
Lovely couple, lovely saturday, lovely mozzarella.

Pane&Pasta and its guests.

welcome to tijuana

met on 28 january

Tube, Caffè della Pusterla, Milano

My friend, ex-classmate and neighbour Tube (Lorenzo) is leaving for Berlin, where he found a job. 

I'm happy for him and for the sleeping place I'll have every time I'll go to visiting him, but I'm also incredibly sad for this sudden departure: I'll particularly miss our breakfasts at Caffè della Pusterla, also known as 'breakfast with a lot of newspapers'.

 

Ivan and Sara, somewhere behind corso Ticinese, Milano

Ivan is leaving as well, he has a job in Sydney in the online marketing of theiconic.com!

Sara studied with me, but we never spoke each other that much. After having met her, I think there are few people as unmanageable as she is.

atomic peace

met on 27 january

Edoardo, Samuele and Claudio at Pane&Pasta, Milano

Yesterday I came back home after work and I found them filming in my house with huge cameras. 

I was so tired that I totally forgot my flatmate's (Alice) interview for Corriere.it! They are filming successful young people and Alice is one of them.

Edoardo works at the Apple Store and I remembered him, but the funny "the-world-is-so-small" fact is that some years ago he did a master in Maya 3D in Turin with Dino, my boyfriend.

i've started working and i'm still writing my graduation thesis.

xmas holidays and new year's eve

I've always said I love winter. Yes, blue mood is always behind the corner, but if you can go over it, winter is the perfect season.

I spent Christmas with my family and New Year's Eve with my friends. 

Now I'll just wait for 2012 to make me meet new people without forgetting the most important ones. 

give up the ghost

met on 17 december

Albi, Jacopo, Ari, Ste and Simo at Sacrestia, Milano

They all graduated and we (friends) were so proud of them that decided to make them act for us: Albi was the superhero, Jacopo the bad guy who kidnapped the fairy princess Ari, Ste was the prince and Simo his horse.

met on 16 december

Stefano, at PanePasta, Milano

Stefano is a friend of my flatmate Ceci's brother. He was at our place before going to Leoncavallo for the Modeselektor concert. Stefano is a writer and he is one of those lucky people who earn money by doing what they like!

He did not want to be portrayed because he does not want his face on the web, but we agreed that this profile is not a proper portrait.

met on 15 december

Stefano, at Vice party, Milano

When I was younger (I mean only three-four years ago) and I used to go dancing regularly he used to play with another guy called Ruggero. Now they organize Spectrum parties in Milano, but I can't say anything about it, I've never been there. The only thing I know, for sure, is that they're gonna make you dance.

Fuggio, at Vice party, Milano

We met out of toilets. He was waiting for his girlfriend Maddi, she was supposed to be in female toilets, but I was queuing there and I did not see her. There was only one door, so I should have seen her! Hope he finally found her.

Kitsch-tombola prizes won by me and my flatmates, at PanePasta, Milano

Saint-Lucia kitsch-tombola! We did it at Marchino's place and it has been a great success!

Among prizes we won: pink glitter cap, plastic coloured jewellery, Chinese calendar, starlights, fake fur hot-water bottle, Mao Tse Tung most famous quotations, many books, mug and relative dish, sushi shaped candles, other useless stuff.

Manu and Nando, pic 'stolen' from the facebook album of Erika and Paul's wedding

Manu and Nando are Marchino's parents. They're are incredible and, apart from Marco, they have two beautiful daughters. One of them, Erika, married two years ago with a double ceremony: catholic and sikh. The picture above was taken during the indian wedding.

I had to use this picture because I lost the one I took at Bar della Pusterla in Milano, where I met them on sunday morning. They were in Milano to visit their beloved son and they brought him something to eat (he lives alone)...

The Please, at Santeria, Milano

1pm, saturday afternoon: weird time, but great concert.
I really like The Please and I deeply hope they'll gain all attention they deserve.

met on 9 december

Dino, Ivan and Yessen, under Lambrate train station, Milano

Yessen arrived at Ivan's on the 6th, but I was in Brescia, so we met only yesterday. 

I'm really glad when he comes here, because my friend Ivan is happy, but also because he's an incredibly smart, interesting and pleasant guy. 

We went together to Lambrate for the Matthew Dear dj set, but I personally didn't listen to it because I was out chatting with Dino and we didn't realize time was going by so quickly.

Flavia, working with Secret Wood, near Brescia

[pic 'stolen' from Secret Wood Bazaar Wear - Fall/Winter 2011 facebook album]

Isn't she beautiful? Yes, she definitely is.

My friend Flavia has recently hired Secret Wood (do you remember? met on 29 november) to shoot a promotional video of her shop Bazaar Wear (based in Brescia and Bergamo) and I really can't wait to see it.

The picture above has been taken during the video shooting and I love it.

Betti's vegan pastries and cupcakes, at Caffé Letterario, Brescia
[pics by Piercarlo Paderno]

I'll never stop saying that my friend Betti is the best vegan cooker EVER.

Yesterday at Caffé Letterario she delighted our palates with a huge variety of pastries and cupcakes.

I seize now the opportunity to advertise you these icon sets I fell in love with: http://www.pixelgirlpresents.com/icons/9/

met on 3rd december

Chiara, Brescia

[pic 'stolen' from her facebook]

Chiara! We spent a lot of time together during our eventful adolescence, then we changed habits friends and towns and we almost lost sight of ourselves. 

Last time we talked each other it was July and I found her deeply changed, but yesterday I met her at Vinile45, where she works as (incredibly sexy) bar girl.  I've found her so much changed again and I was really happy to see her.

all you need is me

met on 29 november

Luca and Lisa, at Sgt. Pepper's, Milano

Luca is the founder of Secret Wood (film production company), but also the director of The Technician, a short film that will projected at Sgt Pepper's every day at 20.00 and 21.00 till the 13th December.

Good luck for everything!

Kazak dinner at Ivan and Ari's place, Milano

The supercute guy in the centre of the picture cooked delicious kazak dumplings for us. He spent the afternoon skyping with his mum in order to prepare everything in the perfect way. Thank you Ivan!
