Mongoose vs. Snake!

When I feel like it, I can really enjoy watching National Geographic. It's a very educational program about nature and stuff, you will certainly learn something by watching it. I don't watch it all the time because sometimes it's pretty boring and I don't feel like learning something but a while a go I saw something interesting. It was a fight between a Mongoose, an animal I didn't know at the time, and a snake, more specific a Cobra. I allways thought a snake had a really fast reflexes and that it was his profit during a fight. So I thought, the Cobra is going to win because a Mongoose doesn't seem strong or fast at all. But apparantly I was wrong, the Mongoose is able to avoid the attacks of the Cobra and grabs the head of the Cobra real fast. So for the Mongoose, snake was on the menu that night. So again, I learned something by watching National Geographic and I think that's great. You don't allways have to watch clueless series of movies, it's real fun but sometimes it's nice to have the feeling of knowledge after a program. Because after all, Knowledge is power!

Sex & the City, Single and Fabulous!

blogged earlier about an American serie about the life in New york, called ‘Gossip Girl’. But there’s one I like even more and you may know it if you’re ‘single and fabulous’. I am talking about Sex & the City. Sex & the City is about four best friends who are single, absolutely fabulous and living in New York! They are all about finding the perfect guy and they do that in fashion. Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Dior, Manolo Blahnik, Prada,... You can all find it in their wardrobe. Why I love this show so much? Because, like most women, I can relate myself to the characters. When they say or do something, I sometimes think "Yes it's true, i feel that way too". They don't allways have a boyfriend, but they allways have eachother. I think that's very beautiful and I hope I will still have my girls too when I am their age, and still have so much fun with them. 
I am often intrigued by what they say, especially by what Carrie says. In the serie, she writes a column for the New York Times. And what she writes, mostly is very touching. I love that she allways starts her column with 'I couldn't help but wonder...'. And I love even more what comes after that. 


Some of my favourite 'Sex & the City' Quotes:

“I like my money where I can see it, hanging in my closet.”
“No matter who broke your heart, or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never get through it without your friends.”
- “Think about it. If you are single, after graduation there isn’t one occasion where people celebrate you … Hallmark doesn’t make a “congratulations, you didn’t marry the wrong guy” card. And where’s the flatware for going on vacation alone?"
- " I will never be the woman with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it"
- ...


They aren't making any more episodes of SATC, but they made 2 movies recently. I loved them, but i love the serie more. I think 6 seasons is enough, there's nothing left to say. I can still watch it over and over again without getting tired of it!

Don't sushi it!

I LOVE sushi!

That's why i wanted to blog about it because i think everybody should try it. It's delicious and yes it's raw fish but that doesn't make it less yummie. But some fish just doesn't belong on a sushi plate, and shoudn't be served in any restaurant or being eaten by people! I am talking about whale and bluefin tuna. Serving whale is already illegal but people still do it. Bluefin tuna is still being served, not in every country, and nearing extinction. But luckily i'm not the only one who thinks these fish should be kept off the menu. As well tuna and whale are being protected by many men. Greenpeace and WWF both fight for these animals. Even moviemakers did an effort to save the whales.
I still love eating sushi but i'm just aware of the fact that you can't just eat all fish that swims in the sea, so i won't eat tunarolls again, but lucky me...I didn't like them that much anyway!

Get it curly!

I have allways wanted my hair to be wavy and a certain period off my life, my hair was a bit curly but than I wanted to have it straight so I bought a straightener. When I wanted the waves back in my hair, I figured i needed to find a solution! A friend told me you could also get you hair wavy with a straightener but she never showed me or told me how to do that. So I went looking on google but i figured it would be more easy if I saw somebody doing it, so I did a little research on youtube. And I found it, a very teaching video! They show you every step of the way how to curl your hair with a straightener. So now I can have my hair curly AND straight!
Here's one off the video's i saw how to do it.
