today of engaged bliss.

i love this boy.

Belgium in September!

"Known as the smallest town on earth Durbuy is also one of the prettiest. The old town dates mainly from the 17th century. Its pedestrian streets, winding between the ancient houses, are narrow and cobbled. Durbuy is a very pleasant holiday resort renowned for its excellent food.

The town itself with its shops, cafés and eating places set in narrow flowered and cobbled streets lined by old stone houses which forms the key attraction of this town. A walk through the old town is a must for every visitor."

ooooooooooooooooooooh swoooooooooooooooon.

azn sensation.

trying...

so im trying to keep a plant alive, because they say if you can keep a plant alive you can keep an animal alive, and when you can keep an animal alive then you can be in a relationship... well, i skipped the first two steps so i gotta back track a little. the cat is under my control next if the plant doesnt die...

apple-shmapple.

sick again today so i decided to upload each album cover that itunes doesnt identify...

yay.

getting ready...

for my two new homes come June...

save me.

phatty beats.

so i gave my lovely husband-to-be all of the music i had in my possession to school him on some heavy tunes. the poor boy lacked proper guidance in choosing the right music as a youngster (Pearl Jam?) and asked me to show him the ways of the dope-ass-music jedi. so here are a couple lists i mustered up for him. mind you, this  is mostly the popular stuff from each band so he can get a taste of what they sound like, but if you dont know anything on this list, i suggest you tune in my young padewon learners. 

side note: i did not include a list of the beatles. if you dont know their whole discography, including every "oooh" and "lalalala" then you are a waste of perfectly good beatles-freak space.
