Mother Superior jump the gun

Being (or at least trying to be) the best big sister ever, it is of course my duty to promote 'Watch it go...bling!' - the blog my sister Iris and her best friend Liselot founded the other day. Check it out!

But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

Wednesday was the birthday of my lovely sister Iris, who turned 16. I remember desperately wanting to be 16 when I was a kid, of course inspired by way too many American teenage series. When come to think of it, I'm enjoying things a lot more now than when I actually was 16. Nevertheless, I also have many great memories of that time and I'm wishing my sis lots and lots of those! Some pictures of the celebration.

In the evening, I met up with Sam - a very good friend from back in high school - for an Explosions In The Sky gig at the Rivierenhof (shame I haven't got a good pic of it, because it's an incredibly beautiful venue, sort of an open air amfitheatre in the middle of the woods).

I'll be the angel on your shoulder

Yesterday we had our family Christmas party, and it was cosy as ever. My grandma, my cousin Jana and two of my aunts arrived around noon. The rest of the afternoon was filled with good food (even a late birthday cake for me!) and an even better atmosphere. Of course I received many lovely presents, including heaps of cd's (Oasis, Kings of Leon, Cajun Dance Party...) and dvd's (Skins series, Control, Breakfast on Pluto...), make-up, The Travel Book (which makes me even more eager to go out and see every single possible place) and much more.

You say it's your birthday

My sister's 15th birthday is only next week, but we already threw her a little party last weekend.

delicious chocolate birthday cake with an ehm, French text on it, that's what happens when you buy pie in Brussels... my sister Iris and my cousin Jana
