Not a big deal

Thursday, September 29, 2011 / BY tRiSh
I don't want to make it more important than it is to delete my fb -actually I'm not going to delete it, I'm just going to put it on hold. Like Sleeping Beauty though fb is nowhere near beauty. People won't be able to reach me via this network anymore. It's funny but I don't really care anymore about it and I feel free, like a load had finally been taken off of my shoulders....

to do or not to do

Sunday, September 25, 2011 / BY tRiSh
I should really stop putting my to-do lists on the blog since it's not working at all. I should just write what I've done during the day/week when it's actually done. I haven't done anything in the house this week, I know I've been working full days and I've been a little sick and a lot tired but this doesn't mean I can't do my part around the house. Peter is always so courageous and...

Clean Fridge

Saturday, September 24, 2011 / BY tRiSh
In French we have what we call 'le grand ménage de printemps' {Spring cleaning?} and even though the Fall has just officially started, I decided that it was time to have a big tidying party. Not only in the house but in my life in general: the dust got to go and so do the people, problems, stress, unnecessary thoughts and bad habits. I wanted to start with some real cleaning and as the fridge was...

Chatting - Friends - Decisions

Thursday, September 22, 2011 / BY tRiSh
I had the pleasure to chat with Lea, a beautiful soul who left her beloved London and family to go live in Japan. She's always so cheerful despite the obstacles, she's always a joy to listen to/read about, she has this little something that makes you feel warm and cozy inside. I've never met her but I know in my heart that our roads will cross someday and that I'll be so impressed that I'll...

20 questions...

Saturday, September 17, 2011 / BY tRiSh
Bethany Joy Galeotti, also know as the beautiful and kind Haley in One Tree Hill (Les Frères Scott) has a fun and cool questionary she gives to her friends to answer. It's called "20 questions" and I decided to try it on myself.

1 Were you named after anyone?
I don't think I am but I wasn't supposed to be called Patricia, but Camille. I was also supposed to be a boy until I was born. My father thought Camille was a boy's name and my parents had decided on Patrick too. So I'm Patricia.

2 Do you like your own handwriting?
I used to like more before because I was practicing to write like my teachers or my mother (she has the most beautiful handwriting). Now I don't write as much as I used to so it's not as pretty.

3 What would your superpower be if you could choose one?
I'd choose to be able to fly or teleport myself to any places I'd love. And if I took someone by the hand and ask them if they wanted to go along, they could.

4 Are you an Optimist or Pessimi
I believe I'm an optimist most of the time. Particularly when the person with me is pessimist, I'd always go for the optimist view. But sometimes I'm pessimist so I know I'll be gladly surprise by the outcome.

5 What do you collect?
Gosh, do you even want to know? Ok. Crayons, pens, cards, writing paper, notebooks, stuffed animals, giraffes (not real ones, unfo.), letters, boxes, frames, candles... Dreams?

6 What movie would your friends be surprised that you like?
I'd say horror movies in general. People don't realize how hilarious some of them are.

7 What are your favorite smells?
Peter's skin, cats' fur, cooking (any), lilly of the valley (the flower not perfumes).

8 Coffee or Tea?
Tea. No more coffee for me.

9 Wine or Beer?
Water? It'll sound weird and probably dramatic for some but even though I'm French, I don't like wine. And even though I live in Belgium, I don't like beer.

10 What is the best thing you've ever eaten? (Where?)
I had an eating orgasm (really!) in a restaurant called Chez Diego in the beautiful city of Arcachon, France. I ate the fish with ratatouille.

11 Mac or PC?
Converted to Mac last year, can't ever go back.

12 What are you listening to right now?
The fireworks in the center, it's beautiful.
As of music, I've been listening to the soundtrack of Amélie Poulain while cooking and Damien Rice 9 and Coldplay Viva LaVidawhile editing pictures. Oh and S.O.A.P Not like Other Girls too.

13 What career would you pursue in another life?
I think I can still pursue a lot of my dream jobs (photography, writing, being a mother)... But maybe an Avatar.

14 What sound or noise to you love?
Laughter, children cute little voices.

15 What sound or noise do you hate?
A knife on a plate while eating (gives me goose bumps just thinking about it!). The sound in the movie The Grudge. Couldn't sleep for a week after watching it.

16 Mountains or Beach?
If I can have both, definitely both. But I love mountains a tiny bit more.

17 Cook or Bake?
I think I like cooking more than baking even though I love both. When I'm cooking, I'm in a totally different world. Baking can be difficult for me sometimes, but maybe I just need some practice.

18 Do you go to restaurants and movies by yourself?
I don't go to restaurants by myself, I feel really nervous just waiting for someone there or in a pub (that's probably why I'm such a tardy head).
I used to go the movies by myself a whole lot when I was in the USA. I still do sometimes.

19 What is your favorite fairy tale or childhood story?
Hansel & Gretel. Don't really know why.

20 What would you tell the 13 year old you?
Yes, you'll make it through your daddy's death.
Yes, you'll travel the world like you've always wanted.
Yes, you'll date. And will find the love of your life.
Yes, you will be able to speak good English one day.
No, you'll never forget.
No it doesn't get easier but it's ok.
No, life is not like in the movies.
Be patient, be true to yourself, don't lose your closest friends.

Today's plan

Friday, September 16, 2011 / BY tRiSh
Today (in fact almost the whole week) my classes got cancelled and I have lots of free time and a huge to-do list. I still need to find those cards that I have to send. I still need to do the ironing. I have to clean the fridge and the oven. I've got to get a new battery for our scales. I have to have some film develop. I have to create an invitation for...

Chez le médecin

Thursday, September 15, 2011 / BY tRiSh
Il y a toujours du monde. Il y a toujours des gens bizarres. Il y a toujours des bébés/enfants qui pleurent/font du bruit. Il y a toujours des odeurs bizarres. Il y a toujours ces gens qui soufflent, toussent, vous regardent bizarrement quand vous entrez. Il n'y a qu'un seul WC. On attend toujours pendant des heures {j'écris ce post après avoir déjà attendu deux heures et avec un bon mal de crâne}. On arrive...

10 years earlier...

Sunday, September 11, 2011 / BY tRiSh
I was at my grand-parents, using the new email address I created with my aunt, Alexandra. I heard this silence. I know you can't hear silence but this is the sort of "sound" you don't like to hear. My aunt and uncle were in front of the TV. The first tower just got hit. I remember not asking any questions, just watching as the images flashed past on the TV. It was horrible, it was...

Cooking: Crème Brulée

Thursday, September 08, 2011 / BY tRiSh
BabyLuv made some crème brûlée again today. They weren't as good as last time because he put the oven too high so they could be ready quicker. Big mistake! Too greedy he was! Though it was so cute that he tried again and I'm really lucky for all of his great cooking skills. BabyLuv finished mine. function ejs_nodroit() { alert('Right-click is forbidden !!!'); return(false); } document.oncontextmenu = ejs_nodroit; ...

Inspiration

Wednesday, September 07, 2011 / BY tRiSh
I decided to keep the inspiration and creativity very high in my priorities: I want to do things that I love and I want to create beautiful things and I want to make my own bread, cookies, cards, decoration, maybe clothes. I know it's going to take a lot of efforts, especially for the lazy bones that I am but I'm ready to make it work. Yesterday I bought two new notebooks in ikea to...
