My baby sister is growing

Saturday, December 29, 2012 / BY tRiSh
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...

En route

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...

Today's thoughts

Sunday, December 23, 2012 / BY tRiSh
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...

Movie Wednesday: Will You Merry Me?

Tuesday, December 18, 2012 / BY tRiSh
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...

Welcoming the Holidays!

Thursday, December 13, 2012 / BY tRiSh
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...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Saturday, December 08, 2012 / BY tRiSh
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...

He opened the drawer, took his...

Movie Wednesday | A Single Man

Tuesday, December 04, 2012 / BY tRiSh
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...
