Many events occurred in these last few days: I thought a lot about sentimental relationships, the local TV aired the very last episode of "Friends"  [how sad!], dANIEL graduated with honor  and I finally met his closest friends [plus his dad, all in just one long terrifying day... just kidding!].
It would be foolish to deny my anxiety about going to his graduation, but it went smoothly... the only thing I regret is the one that caused our umpteenth argument [though maybe that is too strong of a word... we never really argued in a bad way till now, thankfully!]: never let something that hurt you go when you can face it straight away with the person you love... you risk of doing exactly what you've been trying to avoid: ruin your day and theirs! How not worth it!
The most curious aspect is that whenever something like that happens between us, he can always explain his point of view and let me discover a totally new way of seeing that thing that I would have never ever considered existent: funny!  Let's just hope I learned my lesson this time and I solemnly promise I'll do my best to avoid anything of the like from happening... at least in the next future!
Once the mammoth misunderstanding was over and forgotten, we went back to the usual silly, vaguely-crazy, happy and carefree version of us, with a new entry simply known as "L" who comes straight from a remote angle of my kitchen and who dANIEL has instantly fallen in love with!  Graduated boy, what can I say?

On Saturday morning my cradle friend and I were supposed to go on a nice trip on the ferry-boat, but the weather was quite sucky  so we decided to just go see the huge stage they're putting together in the main square for the "Isle Of MTV" which happens on the 14th, better known as the leprechaun's Birthday  [yahey!]. Well, it was huge, and they had just began... I can't wait to see it all done: I just LOVE huge stages, especially seeing them from behind, which is the most interesting side for me.
My friend then went home while dANIEL and I stayed a little longer, enjoying the wind and spying on the mating approaches' efforts of some undaunted but confused pigeons  [ what a great way to pass the time, uh?].

Then we went home to have lunch and in the evening we decided to put our Little Explorers uniforms on  and went to discover new horizons, more precisely the road on the hill that I see from my bedroom window, so I could take some pics of my house from there, instead of the usual ones I take *of* that hill *from* my house. Twisted? Naaah!
The place was absolutely BEAUTIFUL: we both fell in love with it.  There was this sense of peace and tranquility and simplicity I'm not sure how to properly put into words: the narrow boulevards, the little vegetable gardens in the front yards, the lazy cats laying on the brick walls, the lantern lights above the doors, the trees fruit, the smells from the kitchens, the view on the city... it felt almost magic! It made me think about how much I'd want to be able to live like that, closer to a natural way of living, without giving up the comforts that a relatively big city can offer: this place is about twenty minutes by foot from my house, but we felt like in another world.

These considerations ended up in thoughts about dANIEL's forthcoming moving: he'll be attending a postgraduate school here and this means he's going to live in a flat with some friends of his. This will bring more than a few changes in the way we've lived our relationship till now, and they're going to be big ones! We'll see each other more often -I suppose and hope- but for less time, but I don't want to give up on the nights and the morning awakening's moments together, because they're definitely some of the best parts of the whole thing, and I'm aware we've been very lucky to have that almost from the beginning.
I guess we'll just see what tomorrow brings, right? Until then, I treasure all that's good in my life.

[Thinking about what happened in London the other day and praying there will soon be an end to all that hate and lack of respect for life]
