My Favorite TV Series

Let's talk about our favorite TV series! Mine is Emily in Paris at the moment. "At the moment" because it changes every week or every month!

Emily in Paris is one of my latest and biggest Netflix obsessions. It follows a young American woman, who gets the chance at her dream job in Paris. That dream job is working for a French marketing firm, with the task of bringing an American perspective to the company.

It is an American comedy drama web television series that stars Lily Collins as the main character, or Emily, an American woman moving to Paris for a job opportunity. There she struggles to succeed in the workplace while searching for love and experiencing cultural clash with her boring midwestern upbringing. She faces her new reality in the "City of Love" head-on as she learns to juggle work, friendship, and romance.

Let me tell you about the other characters:

• Gabriel, Emily's love interest and downstairs neighbor who works as a chef;
• Sylvie, Emily's tough French boss at the marketing firm who takes an immediate disliking to Emily; and
• Mindy Chen, Emily's new best friend and guide to life in Paris.

I like it because the show is full of quirky humor, quirkier characters, and lust-worthy fashion. In fact, Lily Collins' evening look was actually inspired by Audrey Hepburn.

This show is very close to my heart because I see myself in Emily when she moved to Paris. I went through the same struggles as her when I first got here in Spain, and it's funny how it felt like I was watching myself through her character.

I highly recommend it if you like watching romantic comedy shows or films. It makes you want to go to Paris, but since we can't travel to be in Paris right now, why don't we bring Paris to us?

A Day in My Life

Do you ever wonder how others live their lives? What time do they sleep? What kind of food do they eat? What activity takes the most of their time?

This is related to the lesson that you’ve learned called “Daily Routines.” I did an activity with some groups wherein I asked them to make their own timetable.

I think it’s always interesting to know other people’s routines even if there’s nothing special about it. Knowing their daily routines give us an idea about their attitude and personality.

Well, now, I’m sharing this quick video so you can take a peek of how my day usually goes outside the classroom. (Spoiler alert: It’s nothing special!) I’ve been busy these past few days because I moved in to a new flat and it’s not as simple as it sounds. Sadly, I know many of you might not find that interesting, so I hope I’ll get to make another one of this video, but longer and something that’s actually fun to watch.
