May is a month that I have come to dread a little in the past few years.
But it is not because of the hayfever, or the mosquitoes which start to appear, but because of something else, knocking on my door in my head.
At first it's a slight tapping, rather gently on the door, which starts to appear at the end of April.
Then the beat becomes faster, the tapping louder. It is now described as knocking.
And by this week, the knocking is rather abrupt and fast, like a heartbeat.
Exam season begins now.
That is why I dread May.
But hey, the weather is beautiful :)
Around me.
I really needed to find some papers. They are very important.
But, finding them consisted of looking through piles and piles of stuff.
I knew where I had left them, somewhere in the back of my mind, in that miniscule little hollow or crevace, but for some reason I decided to ignore it. I didn't follow my instinct.
Frankly, I find that it is not suprising.
So, I ended up on my knees, with papers floating around my head. And scattered on the floor of course. My Ipod earphones kept falling out my ears. Well, actually, out my right ear, because I was only wearing that earphone.
And I kept dropping the papers, and the books and the folders.
They kept falling and falling, just like Alice in Wonderland kept falling and falling down that rabbit hole.
Until she landed.
Just like the books landed with a large thump on the floor.
However, I did end up finding the papers, and I did end up with notes scribbled all over my hands.
I was bored you see and I couldn't find a piece of scrap, plain writing paper.
I also started subconsciously writing the lyrics of a song on my left thumb as my Ipod boomed in my ears. Actually ear.
All in all, it is not that bad.
I did find some suitable writing paper in the end too.
I really do apologize for my absence from the world of blogger.
I think I was missing 2 weeks? Maybe 3?
It was rather frantic around me, what with exam preparation and all.
I decided to completely focus.. Which is rather hard for me in the beginning.
But it is going well actually :)
And I am back to my blog as you've probably noticed by now.
Today, granted that the weather is so beautiful I decided to do a tad of gardening.
I am not very good at it, and even though I went to a flower festival locally last week, and read this book about how to make a perfect garden, I do not seem to be improving.
However, I planted some geraniums, so I consider that, in my brain, as a grand, great commitment.
I think it symbolizes the beginning of summer. And the beginning of summer is always a good thing. Right?
Another thing that symbolizes summer.
Smoothies. Shorts.
I've taken to doing all these summer-preparational things lately.
Firstly, I've been eating loads of fruit.
My mother always tells me how I don't eat enough fruit, and then my grandmother agrees with her.
So I decided to take their advice and listen to them.
And it feels great.
Especially the strawberries :)
They are heavenly. And if you combine them with yoghurt, or cream, or vanilla ice cream, they get even more mouth-wateringly heavenly.
I'm on a role now. I'm also eyeing my fridge.
And my chipped nail. Sorry, nails.
Two weeks ago, it was a drowsy Sunday afternoon and I had nothing to do.
So, I rummaged through my bathroom cupboard and found some nail varnish which I forgot I owned.
I bought it last summer, on a little Greek island.
So, I decided to use it. It seemed fine a year later, so I painted my thumb pink, my next finger orange, my next pink, orange...
I repeated the pink-orange thing the next week.
And, I am going to repeat the pink-orange nail ritual today. I am looking forward to it.
I also want to start wearing shorts. And flip flops.
And large straw sunhats, with jasmine and daisies, pocked through the holes between the straw.
I want to lie on the beach all day, with just an ice cream in hand. Or a book, with folded, ripped, yellow pages, and grains of sand stuck between these pages.
Or jump into a river for a midnight swim, and sneak back into the house, silently, with dripping clothes, but smiles surrounding the atmosphere..
Or just sit on the porch, rocking back and forth on the creaky wooden chair, listening to the cicadas singing throughout the afternoon.
Summer is on its way.
My cousin's wedding is on the way too.
I have exactly twenty days to find some new shoes to go with the dress that I am planning to wear.
So, I'm just making a mental list in mon head about the shoe.
Peep-toe.Beige/Pink? Heel?
I need to go on a shoe hunt sometime soon.
I also have to make this website for this project at college..
And the deadline is on Wednesday and I am really really worried about it.
I need to draw up a plan. And I need to get it completed.
Ugh.
I'll get it done.
Sometime.
Soon.
I'm not a good-website-maker-person you see.
Yesterday, I was reading a magazine.
Which isn't a big surprise, as my living room table is piled with 5 magazines at the moment, as I look at it.
But I do not waste them, I exchange them with my sister and my friends.
And we do end up recycling them :)
But back to the point, as I was absent-mindedly flicking through the glossy images of expensive shoes, and clothes, I stumbled upon a page with some big, bold font.
The writing was pink.
But it wasn't the colour or the font which caught my attention.
It was the letters, the four melodic letters which were so beautifully strung together.
B-l-o-g, I silently read to myself.
They have a feature on blogs.
I then found out that it was a feature on fashion blogs, but..
It made me think.. Maybe mine will appear in a magazine one day..
I surely hope so.
It's never bad to dream. :)
I just noticed that my yellow highlighter is on the floor.
Underneath the table.
No wonder I couldn't find it. I had to use a green highlighter instead, as I was flicking through information for my revision this morning.
I am attempting to write notes.
Which is a good attempt I guess.
By the way, did any of you notice that I changed the songs on the sidebar on the left?
I thought it was about time that I added some new songs for you to listen to, so tell me what you think about them :)
However, my Ipod is not feeling very well lately. It feels lonely again.
Hopefully I might be able to find some new friends for it today.
Time to browse for songs.
But I must be going, now because the fridge is eerily calling my name.
It's whispering it, like a soft breeze which rustles through the long wispy strands of grass in a remote, abandoned field.
In any case, the strawberries are calling my name.
And I cannot say no to them now, can I?
I will post tomorrow, and hopefully by then, my nails will be orangey-pink, as they tap away whilst I write the new post.
Have a sun filled day everyone :)
Adios for now,
from the petit framboise
or in other words, Victoria xxxx
ps. I've been going completely mad with my photography lately, so enjoy :) (:
The one I decided to include today, is a detail of this amazing Venetian mask that someone I know has.
It is for an art project, but I really like it. :)
And I added a new page to the blog!
I'm so proud! :)
If you go to the top left corner, above the Ipod, there is a tab that says pages, with a link to a page called "Victoria??".

It's a page about me, but it is a bit messy at the moment. I'm planning on adding more to it, and more pages too. XD
Tell me what you think!
