Bits

I'm typing this quick post from a gelato café, not that I had planned it , but as I got to the café (I'm on the beach house, so no connection is available unless I go somewhere with my laptop with that purpose in mind), ordered a vanilla and cookies ice-cream as a little bit of indulgement and decided to read one of my favorite blogs ABC I received the pleasant surprise of being awarded an “Stylish Blogger Award”. This time, I felt more flattered than ever as I can sincerely say that Kim, the blogger behind ABC is someone I truly admire, her writing style caught me from the very beginning for being witty, grammatically perfect, and having this rhythm that only those born with the talent have (very much à la Carrie).

That being said, and as some awards entail, I couldn’t avoid telling you seven “little secrets” of myself.

1. This past July I took and intensive course on French. Needless to say I fell in love with the language, je l’aime!

2. I adore the sea, it is something that I really need every year to spend some days at the beach, relaxing, doing nothing… just enjoying the sun.

3. I discovered twitter a few months ago and now I’m totally addicted to it. It allows me to follow newspapers and keep in touch with the world.

4. I cannot control myself with ice-creams. Or chocolate. That’s when food=pleasure becomes real for me.

5. I wear glasses and I totally HATE it (hence my overuse of contacts). Not that I don’t like them in anybody, I just have a small head which makes all of the glasses look out of place and too big for me, shades included.

6. I’m quite a nerd when it comes to Art and politics. I enjoy going to a museum, alone or with company, and getting soaked in all the beauty of the paintings, sculptures… and the same can be said about architecture.

7. Every year I promise myself I’ll start working out, and at that I have always failed, until next time, I promise!

I’d like to pass the award to swellmayde, acurlystyle, Mara, Glistersandblisters, and CoutureCarrie.
