My sister got a job! Hooray for her! I can't be more proud of her. She's been struggling to get her diploma in a school that uses fb and bad blogs to discriminates the ones who have a hard time and thus violating privacy policies and let the students fail. I've never been so angry as how much they let her down but I knew she would get pass all this crap and do something great. And...
I think it's going to be the first time we actually manage to leave early. This means we'll arrive early and I'll be able to finally enjoy being in the company of my family again. I. JUST. CAN'T. WAIT. At this time of year, I need to be with my family and celebrate the end of the December together. Even though a tragedy occurred during that periode, we try to make it as bright as...
I've been cranky and I don't like that. I've been tired and won't rest even though I know it's necessary. I've done a lot of ironing and organising and washing clothes and I'm proud and I really hope I'll put in the effort more often, it's rewarding. I've been feeling sad for a few days now and I feel like I really need my Mom. When BabyLuv told me we wouldn't go to my family's...
I watched this beautiful and lovely movie called Will You Merry Me? and I thought that even though it was cheesy, it was also a good reminder of what love could be. Rebecca and Hank are from very different backgrounds: Henry is mid-Western, Christian and corn-fed; Rebecca is a sophisticated Jewish city girl. As Thanksgiving approaches, Henry finally pops the question. Rebecca says yes, and the two couldn't be happier. But the road to happiness must...
Winter has arrived and the freezing cold makes me want to drink Christmas tea with Emi, cuddle on the sofa with BabyLuv, decorate our home with lots of beautiful Christmas decoration, listen to Christmas songs and go Christmas shopping. I've actually already done all of the above and it all puts me in such a lovely mood. Now I would love to go and get our Christmas tree with BabyLuv so that its fragrance would fill the living-room and I'll...
Yesterday morning, I woke up to a beautiful Winter scenery: Ghent turned white during the night and it looked so beautiful. It's been snowing quite a lot these past few days and it makes me feel so happy and serene: the white rooftops, the majestic snowflakes, the cold that makes you want to cuddle up and drink hot chocolate or tea, the feeling of coziness and relaxation... Has Winter arrived in your part of the world? Yesterday...
Today was Saint Nicolas holiday, here in Belgium. It's a cute holiday for children but I decided to make it a cute holiday for BabyLuv. I hid his presents in the underwear drawer where I knew he wouldn't look the day before but would the first thing in the morning after his shower. very blurry picture of BabyLuv discovering his presents Though it didn't quite go as I expected... He opened the drawer, took his...
Watching A Single Man has really got me thinking about how I was living my life and how I was treating the things I have and how I was doing in my own love story. The emotions and feelings put you in a whirlwind and when you wake up, you feel dizzy and engulfed in a new life that you thought was not possible. Colin Firth plays one of his best roles. I can say...
I've been wearing a lot of blue lately. It is my favorite color. It also makes me feel safe and calm. Blue has always been an important part of my wardrobe. In my teenage years, I used to wear a lot of blue clothes, I wouldn't go out without at least one piece that was blue. I remember in college, I once went to the doctor and she told me that I should keep wearing this light...
This weekend was full of unexpected events, some bad, some great. I'm going to write about one bad but I'm not going to be complaining (so much). I fell yet again from my bike. I don't know what it is with me and bikes but it seems that I have some sort of curse: When I was about 8, my lovely white bike broke in two, right in the middle, while I was riding it....
I can't believe this. It's ridiculous... Hope you got to see it before they turned it down... But here it is, on fb. I can't believe this. It's ridiculous... Hope you got to see it before they turned it down... But here it is, on fb. ...
As much as I love books and cooking, when I went to Antwerp's annual "boekenbeurs" I didn't expect to meet my favorite chef, Jeroen Meus (who happened to have written his 4th cooking book). What I like the most about the way he cooks is that it's accessible to anyone, whether you know how to cook or you're a total beginner, his explanations are always very easy to follow and he really makes it fun to try new things. His...
I'm not sure how to think about the past couple of weeks: I've been feeling under the weather but I'm not unhappy. I've been nibbling but I also ate pretty healthy food. I grew my finger nails but can't stop biting at the skin around it. I've been wanting to do something with my hair but I don't want to cut it. I guess I can say I'm being confused and confusing. I think I...
Day 29: In this past month, what have you learned? I learned that I can't keep up with a challenge if I'm not 100% into it or when it gets a little complicated. I also learned that challenging myself is really great and makes me realize how much I love doing things for fun and for me. ...
Day 29: A picture of yourself. ...
Day 28: Do you dream? What do you dream about? I actually dream a lot. Most of the time it comes from the book I've read, the movie I've seen before bed or how my day went but all mixed together in an absurd but wonderful way. Sometimes those dreams would be fantasy turning into thriller turning into romance turning into something that could be real. And it often freaks me out when it involves people...
Day 27: A picture of your handwriting. Excerpt of my diary about our past vacations. ...
Day 26: 9 things that make you feel the happiest right now. Being alive. Him. Putting up prints in our bedroom. My friend Emi. Watching episodes of my favorites series. His hugs. Our talks. Choosing some lights for the kitchen and dining room. Laughing with him. ...
Day 25: What did you want to do when you grew up? I think I was around 2 when I decided I wanted to be "wrapping paper" when I grew up. I told my Mom I wanted to be "wrapping paper" because people were always happy when they teared it off to discover their presents. When I was older I started to want to be a teacher. The teaching subject often changed but the teaching part...
Day 24: Seven things that cross your mind a lot. I love him so darn much. Gosh, I'm fat / I look terrible today. I should probably go to the hair-dresser. I wish my family and friends didn't live so far. How is she doing? I'm an adult now. If I won 9M$... ...
Today BabyLuv and I went out for lunch with Emi and I wanted to finish on a sweet note so after taking a little walk around town, we headed to MAX, where you're supposed to eat the most delicious waffles of Ghent. Even though I enjoyed being with my two best friends, I have to say that I was not impressed by the waffle. I was kinda disappointed to tell you the truth: it didn't...
