A little comparison: Emirates Vs Turkish Airlines

A little comparison: Emirates Vs Turkish Airlines

'Sup lovelies!!! This blog is still breathing, yup! I didn't post in a long time because I was busy, then busier then just lazy, but couple days ago, I took Turkish Airlines from Tunisia to Japan and I couldn't help but compare every tiny detail with Emirates (that I have been taking for 3 years to travel between Tunisia and South Korea/Japan), and so I thought I'd share my results with you :D!

Before I start my totally unprofessional/very personal comparison, I would like to mention that according to World Airline Awards (http://www.worldairlineawards.com), Emirates fell down to the 4^th position in 2014 after it was ranked 1^st in 2013, while Turkish Airlines rose to 5^th position after being ranked 9^th in 2013. 

That being said, I personally do not care much about rankings and awards, I just used to fly with Emirates because it's cheaper, but this time my master scholarship included the plane ticket and they chose Turkish Airlines for some reason, so I got the chance to notice every single details about the flights, because after 3 years of very tiring long flights, you become picky!

And here goes my comparison, arranged in a chart for simplicity!

(please keep in mind that for the 1^st and the 2^nd questions, I am discussing Tunis-Narita flights)

Criteria	Emirates	Turkish Airlines
How much? (average)	1100$	1700$
How long? (average) (first flight + transit time + second flight)	6h + 4h + 9h	3h + 5h + 12h
On flight service (cabin crew)	3.5/5	4/5
On flight entertainment	4/5	2.5/5
On flight food	2.5/5	4.5/5
Seat comfort (economy class)	4/5	2/5
View from the air plane when about land (useless but I have something to say about that too)	3/5	5/5 (View of Istanbul at night is AMAZING)
Airport of transit (rest areas)	4/5	2/4
Airport of transit (food courts)	4.5/5	3/5
Airport of transit (duty free)	5/5	3/5
Airport of transit (staff)	4.5/5	2.5/5

So, for the food, it was just “gorgeous” (hi there Becky :p) on Turkish Air but just got worse on Emirates year after year.

For the seats, I have to admit that Emirates seats are quite comfortable. I'd even manage to find a comfortable position and get some sleep (which is very difficult for me usually) but with Turkish Airlines, the seats were small (and I don't need that much space, so for me to think they are small...) and very not helping to take even a short nap during the many hours of flight.

So to conclude, my personal choice (if anyone cares) is definitely Emirates, even if the food sucks. I'd rather have a sucky meal and a comfortable seat than good food and 12 hours of horrible back, shoulders, neck, everything pain.

Also because Dubai airport is huge and awesome, even if you don't buy anything, it's awesome enough to walk around and eye-shop (not like is shopping for eyes, but in like just look, not buy... I'm sure you know what I mean xD). 

Peace! 

Reasons Why I Can't Get Married Yet

Reasons why I can't get married yet

To my family, my friends and my beloved society that thinks I'm a poor woman who still hasn't been able to get married yet... They told me, they warned me 3 years ago! "Don't go to Korea now! Find a husband before! If you leave now while you're single, it's gonna be too late! By the time you are back, everyone will be taken!"

WELL GUESS WHAT???? I found guys outside of Tunisia too you know!!!! :o :o :o 

PLUS, here! Read this! Reasons why I don't want to get married now! Read it, memorize it, then leave me alone! 

1- I am still young. At east, I still "FEEL" young! Maybe my real age is 25 and I'm a "quarter of a century old", but in my brain I'm still 20 or less, so I still can't cope up with the idea of getting married.

2- I hate divorce. It's expensive, it's too much trouble, and once you have kids, it becomes even worse. So getting married means spending my whole life with one person. I personally haven't met someone I would wake up and see his face everyday until the end of times yet. Imagine I hurry up, get married to please my family and the society, then realize I picked the wrong guy. I'd be doomed for life!

3- I have too many guy friends, and this had me have some troubles with some of my ex boyfriends before, because they tend to get jealous and stuff. Thing is, my friends are too important for me to choose a boyfriend over them, so when my lovely boyfriend puts me in a situation of choice, he won't like it. I don't want to imagine this situation with a husband.

4- I love my family name! I don't want to have to change it! I need to find a guy with a family name that sounds good when pronounced after my full name!

5- I love to dance Batchata, I get so much into it that I would be spiritually cheating on my husband each time I'm dancing batchata. Plus, I love to change partners, so even if my husband is the best Batchata dancer on earth, I would always want to dance with other guys, therefore spiritually cheating on beloved husband.

6- I have other priorities in life to achieve while still single. I want to travel around the world sometimes alone sometimes with friends. I don't want to have to carry my official relationship with me. How am I supposed to flirt here and there with the locals if I have my husband next to me 24/7? Also, there are many stupid things I want to do before becoming a married boring responsible wife! 

7- I have very bad mood swings and sometimes I don't want to do anything and I don't want anyone to be talking to me. Imagine this situation lasting for several days, what will my husband do? So until I figure out how to fix this, I'm not getting married. 

8- I come from an Arab family, and Arab weddings last for 4-5 days sometimes and they are extremely exhausting. Also, the number of people who get invited to weddings is so unbelievably huge that when I was around 10-11, in my mother's home town, my cousin and I used to dress up and get ready at night then go to 3 or 4 different weddings, uninvited, just like that. We eat some food and get some drinks, maybe dance a bit then get to the next ceremony, and no one would ever notice! If I'm getting married, I want a one night small ceremony, end of the conversation. But go and convince your Arab family...

9- When I was 12 or 13 I started sleeping in a double bed, that has been my own bed, in my own room, that no one enters. So I'm used to sleeping alone right in the middle of the bed with empty space still everywhere around me. So now, I don't feel very comfortable sharing my bed or my blanket. I might have had some friends or cousins sleeping over, but they only stayed for couple nights, not forever! How am I supposed to have someone sharing my bed if I sleep in the middle of the freaking bed?

10- Last but not least, I can't get married yet because I still don't want to! I don't care if my friends from high school are engaged or have kids, they are the hare, I'm the tortoise. And remember your childhood stories guys, who won the race? OH YEAH the tortoise!

So here it is Mom!! Reasons why I don't want to get married yet. Time is flying? TIC TOC TIC TOC? I don't care, I want to enjoy being "Sexy, Free and Single" (reference to one of Super Junior's albums, Korean band, if you don't know them) while I still can.

But I will get married someday. First I have to achieve everything that I want to achieve while single AND find the one person I want to share more than a bed with FOREVER...

You agree? You no agree? You like? You no like? 

Let me know! I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this way!!!

15 Things You Shouldn't Do

15 Things You Shouldn't Do

1- Make a promise you cannot keep.

2- Postpone to later what you can do now. Later is another time and there is something else that has to be done when later comes.

3- Get drunk and start texting people. You will rarely get something good out of it.

4- Leave someone's room and leave their door open. You will just bring hatred on yourself and they will most probably just call you back to ask you to close the door.

5- Pretend to be talking on your phone when you haven't checked if it was on silent mode or not. Imagine the embarrassment when your phone starts ringing in the middle of your so-interesting/important conversation.

6- Use the toilet without checking if you have toilet paper.

7- Get angry at your boyfriend, not tell him the reason why you are pissed off and expect him to figure it out by himself. Unless you are dating the Wizard of Oz girl, get yourself together and use your tongue... to speak... (works also for drama kings, aka boys)

8- Laugh and tell stories of your life with the loudest voice you can ever get in public places. No one cares about how you beat your record in Flappy Bird.

9- Make up stories and lies about people and things then forget them (the stories).

10- Ignore the hygiene of your teeth. They are literally one of the very first things people will ever see in you. You don't want to scare that pretty lady or that boss hiring you with the 50 shades of yellow on your teeth.

11- Have all SNS applications on your phone because that will actually turn you into a non-social person.

12- Think too much before making a decision. The more you think the more time your brain will have to come up with doubts and what if's. Just make one decision and assume the consequences whatever they are.

13- Stalk people then pretend it's such an amazing “coincidence” that you met in the same mall in the same store at the same time, you two of all people, right here of all places.

14- Call someone's name then say “nothing... just forget about it”. If you are opening your mouth, do it properly or zip it for life.

15- Say the word “cute” in a supposed-to-be-cute way, with a high pitched voice because it brings up murderer instincts in most people around you, and if they kill you, they will have to go to jail for it, so you ruined your life (because you're dead now), your killer's life (because he/she is in jail now) as well as the life of everyone who cares for any of you two (because they either lost you or him/her). Don't be selfish, learn how to pronounce the word properly or don't say it. This is valid for all languages and dialects.

Thanks for reading! If you have any other don't you think I can add to my list, let me know!

Other than that, my little brother loves to make videos, and I edit them for him. We just had one video posted on my channel on youtube few days ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0HnQfHCi1I

Throw a thumbs up here, a comment there, it actually means more to him than to me. Also we might film more videos together if he asks me to.

Graciaaaas~~ ^_^

Brands Everyone Should Use For Life.

Brands Everyone Should Use For Life.

The world we live in now is this amazing place where the truth about everything can be known right away. One glance and your awesomely structured brain will build a whole image and a bunch of opinions concerning people and things. And you will find yourself doing that one thing everyone on earth does so well: "Judging".

And in order for you not to be badly judged -and not to badly judge others as well-, I did some research and I managed to get you a list of few brands and items that will make you a better person in the eyes and thoughts of everyone else as well as yours.

1- Item: Smartphone / Brand: "Love":

This brand is sadly enough not very famous but in my opinion it is one of the best smartphone brands one can ever have. It allows its users to keep more in touch with friends and family. It has an automatic reminder set up for birthdays and special occasions so that you succeed in making people around you always remembered and loved. It even has an innovative and totally free application called "spontaneous". This application will  generate in its users spontaneous actions and reactions to ameliorate their personality and make a good person out of them.

2- Item: Earplugs & Earphones / Brand: "Humor By We":

No one can deny the fact that nowadays earplugs and earphones have become a must have accessory in everyone's life. We use them while working, while playing, while exercising... all the time.

So it is necessary to know which brand to have in order to get a comfortable use out of this item with no damage to your ears. Here I recommend the brand "Humor By We", for its very special option that no other earphones have ever had before. In fact, this brand includes the technology to "filter" what sounds and words come to our ears, allowing us to only hear the good and ignore the bad. It also permits to lighten up our mood in order for us to take things easy and not to get all angry or sensitive to every word said around us. This permits to avoid misunderstandings also so that we can all live in a better more relaxed atmosphere.

3- Item: Shoes / Brand: "Understanding":

Unlike other shoe brands, "Understanding" makes every type of footwear, from heels, flats, boots to sneakers, professional trainers and even hiking boots. The plus that this brand offers is that it allows its users to not only walk on their shoes very comfortably, but also to walk in someone else's shoes from time to time, therefore allowing them to know each other better, what each other had to go through in their lives etc. This brand offers the option to see the truth of others around us, to understand where they come from and where they're going to. Comfortable walk through life for you and the ones around you guaranteed.  

4- Item: Clothes / Brand: "Happiness":

So this brand is fit for everyone, males and females, children and adults. It provides every type of clothing necessary all around the year, from swimwear  to coats, going through the normal t-shirts, jeans, summer dresses, gowns, formal outfits, etc. What is special and unique about this brand is that it allows you to cover your body with a layer of happiness, and this contact with your skin will affect your general mood daily, making you start  happy and light everyday. This works so well that others around you can see it and feel your happiness, and we all know that happiness is contagious. The more people choosing this brand, the happier the society we live in will get. I personally cannot think of anything better.

So that's it for the list of items and brands I prepared for you. I hope you can start using them. The very good thing about these 4 brands is that they are all free. Yes, everything these brands offer are free of charges, no money needed, nothing. It's just up to you whether to choose them or not. 

Think well, make the right decision, because at some point of your life you will find yourself in front of each one of these brands' stores. 

And keep this in mind: "your choices won't just affect you; they will affect everyone else around you."

My 10 Facts/Tips About Life

My 10 Facts/Tips About Life

(Notice: These facts are from my own perspective of life! You might agree you might disagree!)

1. "Water boils at 100°C". This one fact will always come to my mind first, I am sure I will never forget it.

2. "Cats are mean". Okay so, I might be getting some hate from cat-lovers, but in my opinion (shared by a huge number of people) cats are mean, indeed. After all this is MY facts about life, and I'm more dogs than cats!

3. "If you fall, people around you will laugh. Unless you fall of a bridge, a cliff or a skyscraper". The lesson here is: better for you to have people laugh for you than cry at you... that means you're still alive!

4. "Too much computer eats your brain. If you're still alive, then you're living in the Matrix". You're reading this, you're alive, you're in the Matrix. 

5. "Labor pain is the worse pain a human being can feel. Therefore guys, be understanding please, even though you are lucky as hell for not having to go through it." I seize this small chance to share this video with you where a doctor (Dr. Julie Masters, if I'm not mistaken) tried to simulate the labor pain to 2 guys through electrode simulations that will give some contractions similar to the labor contractions.

ENJOY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppzV6hoPkIc

6. "The capital of Brazil isn't Rio de Janeiro... It's Brasilia". Learn your geography guys!

7. "People who swear a lot happen to be more honest than others." (I'm not encouraging though, just stating facts here!)

8. "If people laugh at your goals and ambitions, that means 2 things: 

1- they are jealous they didn't have this idea before you did. 

2- your goals or ambitions are big enough for you to follow them" 

And I quote Azim Premji here, Indian business tycoon and philanthropist, and he said "If people are not laughing at your goals, your goals are too small..." 

9. "Cockroaches can live several weeks with their heads cut off." Then you wonder why these creatures freak the sh*t out of me??? Especially when they have wings and can FLY!!!!!!! Oh God! Help us survive!!!

10. "Aliens do exist and they are watching us from above while we are being messed up, stupid, always angry, not thankful and not happy enough, fighting for no reason, killing each other... and they are laughing at us and at our ignorance". Carry on with this attitude humans and we'll never get the awesome chance to meet them Aliens!!!!!! ALL OUR FAULT!

And that's it, 10 facts/tips about life from my own perspective. If you have other facts, you're welcome to share them with me! I'm interested to know what you think!

Also, I seize this chance to wish a Happy 156th Birthday to the awesome Max Planck, THE theoretical physicist who originated the "Quantum Theory"! Thanks for making my life harder dude and for giving me one more theory to study -_____-! 

Peace!

My Visit to The Tokyo Imperial Palace

My Visit to The Tokyo Imperial Palace

Last summer (July 2013) I had the amazing opportunity to go to Japan for a 5-week-internship with the Advanced Materials Science Department at the University of Tokyo, so of course I seized the chance!!!!!

Japan is amazing, I think no one can deny that, but I won’t be able to discuss it all in one blog post so tonight, I will just talk about the Tokyo Imperial Palace and share some pictures.

The very nice lady who works at my Professor’s office suggested to take me and 3 other friends to the Imperial Palace Garden one day and it was amazing! Thank you so much Makiko-San!   

From  left to right: Makiko-San, Jiaqi, me, Martin and Ciara!

The Tokyo Imperial Palace is located in the Chiyoda area, a short walk away from Tokyo Station. It can be accessed through the “Seimon Ishibashi Bridge” that leads to the main gate over the moats.

It contains several buildings including the main palace where the imperial family lives (but that part was of course guarded and not open for the public… too sad!), some administrative offices, a Kendo arena (where some people were practicing, we could hear them while we were passing by), and of course the amazing huge and very beautiful “East Gardens” open to the public. YAY :)

These gardens are the former site to the Edo castle’s innermost defence circles but only the moats, the walls, the entrance gates and some guardhouses still remain. It took us hours to tour, it was a very hot summer day and we were attacked by some mosquitoes but it was all worth it. We also had a tour guide who was telling us the stories behind the buildings and the different areas of the gardens.

Here are some of the pictures I took, and if you are planning to visit Japan, pay the Imperial Palace Gardens a visit, you won’t regret it. It's kind of calming to walk around them, all green and beautiful. 

PS: if you’re visiting during the summer, don’t forget to put on sun cream, wear a hat and don’t forget your water bottle. If your skin tends to get sun burns quickly, wear a light jacket with long sleeves. 

Some of My Drawings (Mangas)

Some of My Drawings (Mangas)

So I was going through old pictures on my computer and I found pictures of old drawings  of mine so I thought... Why not share some of them on my blog?!?!?!?

I was never really good at drawing, I just like to do it from time to time. It keeps me focused and busy so I don't get to think about things I don't want to think about (what a sentence).

So enough said, I uploaded some of my favorites (some are kind of old), but 100% Japanese anime characters.

Let me know what you think!

PS1: for those who don't know much about Japanese mangas, I added some information under each picture. The first part of the caption will have the name of the character and the second part the name of the anime.

PS2: I copied these drawings. I mean I either saw them on books or on the computer and I copied them. None of them is originally mine!

Different characters, Love Hina

I am a Hogwarts Student Now!!!

I am a Hogwarts Student Now!!!

So, I don't know if you heard about this already, but if not, please lift that rock you've been living under and come chill with us in the cool group of Hogwarts Students OH YEAH!!!!

Yup, I'm not kidding, THE Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is now open for boring people like us, aka Muggle-born dudes, and you as well as everyone else can enroll and follow online the 9-week courses. It is even possible to achieve the whole 7-year path. You will have professors assigned, homework assignments and quizzes... Come on what did you expect? It's a school, of course there will be assignments and all that stuff!!! But it's a super cool school ya know!!! 

I feel like I'm promoting Hogwarts now! Yo Ministry of Magic, can I be paid for promoting your school on my blog? 

But actually, I have a question: the homepage of the school says "9-week courses online" and "7 years of schooling"... does this mean achieving 7 years of schooling in 9 weeks or do I have to got through the 7 years in like really 7 YEARS to get that diploma, because I AM GETTING THAT DIPLOMA! 

Please if you have an explanation, let me know!

Also, I am part of Slytherin now! I chose it, yes! 

I guess as we can't all line up and wait for the Sorting Hat to decide for us, we are free to choose! Something we have that Hogwarts real life students don't have: Freedom of choice! Another thing is that you get to choose your dorm (or join one randomly if you have no preference), you get to talk with other students on different chatrooms. You also get to see your classmates (well their profiles), you even get to win points (and maybe make it on your house leaderboard) and collect the chocolate frog cards! It's like being home-schooled, expect that it's cooler and it's for an awesome cause!

So, http://hogwartsishere.com/ is where you can find Hogwarts. The website is still a bit slow as they are still configuring the server but check it up, enroll, do homework, attend classes, collect chocolate frog cards, win points and help your house; you know, all that cool stuff you watched in 8 different movies before and wanted to do... don't forget, you get to be a sorcerer when you graduate!

So let me know if you're enrolling and what house your are choosing.

PS: Choose your house wisely... choose Slytherin!

Time has passed but shadows still linger.

Time has passed but shadows still linger.

Standing on the shore watching a lake

A lake where nothing seems really fake

Leaning on a tree bounded to break

For leaning for years not really awake

I feel a heavy presence surrounding me

Of people coming and going so silently

Trying one at a time to get part of the

Sip of life that would bring them eternity

I hear voices, I hear them say

I hear them cry or shout, laugh or pray

Some seem to wait, some found a way

Disturbing a sleeping me day by day

I open my eyes and take a glance

I see sadness but I also see romance

Tempted inside, I long to seize a chance

And follow the lead of my leader for a dance

Then dark memories fly back to my mind

Florid with explanations I can’t seem to find

Yet strong memories that close my eyes blind

And shut away the rest of my senses combined

Time has passed but shadows still linger

While I seem to have it wrapped around my finger

I feel my white angel at my ear like a ringer

For me to open up and put away my stinger…

Still standing on the shore watching the same lake

Still leaning on the same tree still bounded to break

Watching life passing by full of bites to take

Wonder if I’ll wake before my tree comes to break.

How I ended up in The Asian Country of South Korea.

How I ended up in The Asian Country of South Korea.

As mentioned briefly in the previous post of my self-introduction, I just graduated from Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea. 

I originally come from Tunisia, born and raised there for more than 20 years, yet at some point in my life in 2010, I decided to jump out of the secure "easy" life I had always lived in Ariana, Tunisia and to move all the way to Asia and exactly to Seoul, capital of South Korea. 

At the time I was in my second year of university, majoring in Industrial Engineering at the National School of Engineers of Tunis (Ecole National des Ingénieurs de Tunis, french name of it) but I decided to transfer to Seoul National University and change major to... Nuclear Engineering. Yup, I was always interested in nuclear scale "things" and I thought that if I had to go all the way to Seoul, might as well just major in something totally new and non-existent in my country.

Now the reason why I chose Korea wasn't totally my choice. In fact, one of my best friends is half-Chinese and left for Shanghai in 2009 to attend university there. For several reasons, right after I graduated from high school, I wanted to leave Tunisia and go abroad somewhere and this friend of mine suggested that I'd join her in China. 

That sounded like an amazing plan for me, to go all the way to China and share this experience with one of my best friends, but the price was too high. I'm not talking here about real money, but moving to China meant learning Chinese and starting all over again as a freshman (the universities I wanted to attend didn't offer a transferring program); this meant wasting a year or two in the language plus having the 2 years I already studied in my Tunisian University go to waste... and honestly I wasn't ready to spend 2+2+4 years just for a bachelor degree.

So my friend suggested either Japan or Korea, that way we could still be closer to each other and visit each other more often. I personally wanted to end up in Japan, but as my parents were paying, I couldn't allow myself to have them pay for everything (tuition+living expenses+traveling expenses), and Japan isn't the cheapest country out there.

So I decided on Korea, I searched for the list of universities in Seoul and decided that Seoul National University sounded cool, so I went for it.

I had all kind of reactions from people around me; some were surprised and didn't understand why I was leaving now half-way through my education, others laughed at me for choosing Korea as a destination (most people go to Europe, Canada or the USA)... but the most important people around me were my parents, and as they were supportive and encouraging, I just decided to ignore comments and reactions around me and focus on my application, and it went as follow: 

July-August 2010: application procedure

November 2010: reply (positive for me)

February 2011: moving to Korea and starting school on May 2nd, 2011.

As a transfer student, I was supposed to study just 2 years and graduate, but as I had to change major, there were a lot of 2nd year mandatory courses I didn't take in Tunisia and so I stayed in Korea for 3 years instead of only 2. 

During those 3 years I experienced amazing moments as well as horrible ones, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably do the same thing (maybe choose a different university instead but yeah :p ).

Now this long story isn't just to tell why and how I ended up in Korea but it's also to encourage people everywhere to move, don't wait for opportunities to come to you, create them and seize them. Be ready to deal with refusals, accept them and just keep on trying until you make it happen. I personally have applied for the UK, Switzerland and France since 2008 and each time I couldn't make it (whether because I wasn't accepted or because I missed the scholarship application deadline etcetc), but I still tried and I ended up in Korea and I don't regret it at all.

As a student, you can go on exchange programs, look for internships abroad, go backpacking wherever you want to. Of course be careful and most importantly ready to accept and respect the differences you will find in other countries and by the time you are back home, you will have carried with you the best memories of your life.

The world is an amazing place full of awesome people and breathtaking places, but most people are too scared to leave what they have even for a short period of time and go somewhere new. Open up your eyes and travel the world while you are young and can do it. Once you settle down, get a serious job or start a family, it becomes harder to stop and start all over again.

I come from Earth, where do you come from?

I come from Earth, where do you come from?

I created this blog because I genuinely believe in the existence of life outside of our beloved planet Earth and I am hoping that one day before I'm buried several feet under ground, I'll get a sign or a reply or even a small poke from Them who live on other planets.

No, that's not true... even though I wouldn't complain if Aliens decided to show up in front of me one day and of course befriend me. If they are human haters and want to destroy us all, then... I'm not so sure I'll be glad to see them.

Anyways, yes my brain is this tiny locomotive that breathes out thick smoke as it drives along the random way it found itself on.

More nonsense yet this is me, somehow.

I go by the name of Sahar, born late 80's, freshly graduated with a Bachelor of Science from a "prestigious" (because it's supposed to be but I don't agree) university in Seoul, South Korea, yet I come from Tunisia, all the way back in North Africa.

My loves are reserved for black coffee, dancing, writing, reading and traveling (when I have the time AND money) mostly. I enjoy learning new languages; when I was young I wanted to learn 10 languages. Until now I managed to learn 5, I still have 5 more to go but with age and other factors I think it will be more difficult.

I also like Japanese anime, Sangoku is my one true love but Elfen Lied is my favorite.

I want to travel the world (everyone says so I know), to learn archery, visit all the awesome friends I had once met yet life separated us; I also want to get a Lotus Elise (the car yes) and own a house where I can raise a wolf, a tiger and a snake (a little girl's dream).

My feminine side shows only when I see shoes, sometimes bags, but mostly shoes. I am crazy for them and shoe shopping has proved to calm me down and lighten up my mood when I'm stressed, sad or angry.

I don't know exactly what will go on this blog, some poems of mine for sure and maybe some posts where I will share my thought about any random topic. I will also try and tell some of the past 3 years I spent as a student in Korea, what I learnt there, what I liked the most and what I didn't really like much, etcetc...

  So, let it start!

A Little Bit of Writing.

A Little Bit of Writing.

My passion for werewolves, vampires and other magical creatures had me watching a lot of TV shows and movies about them, until one day, few days ago, I found myself writing these few lines as a first draft. I don't know if it will ever be edited or modified to something better, but for now it will stay on draft-zero level.

"Take another look at me

Ask me what I long to be

Ask me what I really am behind this image you see

Life is made of choices, and then there is destiny

And mine decided to make a monster out of me

Untold stories, hovering mysteries

Buried secrets and unknown prophecies

Unbelievable tales yet that give me enemies

You fear me and avoid me while I call helplessly

because I'm human too

my body can heal but its scars are still there

my nights are long but my days are longer

trying to find my place

where do i belong and where do i not

what would others think if they would know

I'm trapped inside i just can't let it go

I'm fighting next to you, I'm fighting me too"
