What is this blog all about?

The main purpose of this blog is to give an overview of the things I do, in my everyday life, in order to improve my English. Since I am a very lazy person, I mostly read, and watch movies, and do things which make it possible for me to improve my vocabulary, my grammar and my accent without getting bored... So this blog is going to be about the books I read, the movies I watch, and some other things which I find relevant (or not)...

I hope you'll like it! Don't hesitate to leave comments if you have any suggestions concerning what I should write about!!

All you need is...

Reader ! Reader ! Hark !

This weekend, my sister M got married. Look at her! Is she not pretty?

Yes she is.

The wedding has been "being prepared" for nearly a year, now, and I've been wanting to tell you, and then I felt silly, because you know, when something's big like that, you never really know what to say, and though I'm OK with being silly, it's more difficult to... well... that's it right here. A very good example.

The ceremony and the party were great, I got a chance to see all of my huge family, and also the huge family of my brother in law, V.

I see my sister M and her brand new husband V pretty often these days since I am studying in Belgium where they are currently living. In fact, V is Belgian, like the chocolate, and that's not the only thing they have in common. Indeed, V is very very nice, and has a knack for being supportive when you're down.

(V, if you hear me, sorry again for the total meltdown this summer, after the interpreting school incident. If you had not been there to look slightly confused and make me a nice, strong coffee, I'd probably have been reduced to an alternative form of life. I'm so very glad my sister M's got you to make her a nice, strong cup of coffee and look slightly confused whenever she needs it, because I wouldn't want my sister to be reduced to an alternative form of life). Indeed :

My sister M's perfect as she is. Have you seen her? Scroll back up, and get a second look. There are not so many things you can be sure of, and everything changes very fast, and nothing is ever for certain, and why did the chicken cross the road, and what about black holes and the speed of light, but one thing I know for sure is: Everyone, everywhere, needs an awesome big sibling like the ones I've got. I should know, I've got three.

I wish I could tell you all about my big siblings, and I wish I could tell you all about how great it is to see all my family and my mum and dad and aunts and uncles and grand-mothers and cousins, only I can't, because by the time I'd be finished just with the immediate circle, I'd be old and gray, and I've got important things to do (like seing them in person). But let it be known that my family, new brother in law included, is the awesomest in the whole universe, and I wish you the same one.

Spread love, Reader!

PS: The great picture's courtesy of my friend V (she's not the same person as my step-brother V. Same initial is all :)! What a nice picture! Thanks!

Je tourne le dos 5 minutes pour aller à Blankenberge et voilà!! tsk tsk fvllshpll.

As-tu déjà réfléchi à la possibilité que ce que tu aperçois du monde, c'est ta propre awesomeness qui se reflète sur les autres?

Et aussi, for all of you out there, can I just make it clear that I am NOT marrying Claire's friend V.? She's real nice, and it would be legal in Belgium, but still.

Just wanted to make sure none of you got confused.

Claire, you are right. Your sister is very beautiful woman. But, that does not make her perfect from my perspective. You are the perfect one! Everyone [I] knows that the quirky sister is the best sister to marry. Why? Her major flaw is quirkiness; her quirkiness is what makes her soooo attractive. So, her flaws become her virtues!

That being said, you have a lifetime of love ahead of you. Believe me, when a man finds his quirky queen there is nothing he will not do for her. If you are so inclined, you will have the home, the children, the friends, etc.

Well hello again, Mr Rush ! Thanks for your comment ! I'll keep you informed on the "quirky queen" issue. But my sister is perfect. Not just because she's pretty, she's perfectly quirky too :D... Quirky-ness of which you seem to have your fair share too, if I may be so bold :)
