2011 Series

Para el próximo año, he pensado en empezar dos series de historias:

1. Secretos Confesables: (en castellano) Esta será una serie de vivencias personales o de mis alrededores que me parezcan interesantes para compartirlas con todos vosotros. Cada primero de lunes de cada mes escribiré una historia que os acercará más a mí.

Cualquier similitud con la realidad no es pura coincidencia. Son vivencias y seguro que alguno/a las ha podido vivir. En cualquier caso espero que si alguien se siente aludido/a ¡comente! Las ganas son la clave.

(Seran vivencias durante mis años en Barcelona - pasado y presente -)


2. Mystery Tweets: (in English) This will be a story. Every last Monday of the month will be published a post of a chapter of the story. It will last until you say so or when there is nothing to tell any more.

Each story begins with a "to be continued...-mysterious" tweet at my Twitter's account (@emmafiegert) at 12:00 am of the day before the publication. The beginning of each one will be having a length of 140 characters, the maximum allowed in this social network. And since it is a very small capacity to write an entire chapter and explain a particular story, the person can access to the rest of the story through this Blog.

So, these are unfinished Tweets, which are born with the morbid curiosity (in my Twitter) and end with the desire satiated (in my blog) or wanting for more (comment on my blog + waiting for another story) ;)


(They will be stories of my lifetime in London - then and now -)

Are you in?

        

New Apple Store (Barcelona)

The first time I heart that Apple was considering to have a new Apple Store I thought: "Great... Yes... In U.S., right?". And I didn't put so much attention. Two months after that rumour, I read an article that certainly Apple was planning a new Apple Store. So rumour confirmed. Then, the question was: Where? When I read "Spain" I just went nuts! I could not believe that.
However, the best part was still to arrive. Different news were to come.
First, we knew the country, but not the city. As I live in Barcelona I wished it'd be in Barcelona or a city nearby. Therefore, the next new was there: "Apple is considering Madrid and Barcelona to introduce an Apple Store". No way! Barcelona was mean to be... And finally it was!
Secondly, we knew the city, but not the place. I was thrilled to have an Apple Store in Passeig de Gràcia. This is the best place to have an Apple Store! Passeig the Gràcia is like Regent's Street in London, and there there is the most beautiful Apple Store I ever seen (and I have seen a few). Apple thought that too. But no. Apple's idea was tangled by a net of I-don't-know-who's-interest-was to bet the offer of a selling place in there. Mango got it for an-amount-of-money-that-only-a-few-know. That was absolutely insane! That was, I mean, NO! Well then, Apple need some place that actually could satisfy its kind of store. So, Centre Comercial La Maquinista. I was there on the opening day.

I think that it is an absolutely-wrong-first-feet of Apple in Barcelona that I hope some day we could see en Apple Store in Passeig de Gràcia. Please?
