Cherry blossom

A blogger Alix was in Shinjuku Gyoen Garden in Tokio at the end of the cherry trees blossoming period. She found this magical world shrouded in pink and green mystery.
Look for more pictures here.

Brain and sport

The Wisdom Project

You have to see this amazing film directed by Andrew Zuckerman. Famous people (artists, actors, politics etc) of our times are telling what wisdom means to them.
'Wisdom is about experience' said Robert Redford . It's so true to me.

The Script

My sister told me one day that The Script makes music for me. So I listened. And guess what? She was right.
Let's use their own words to discribe the band:
'The Script are an Irish trio whose music boasts the kind of artful twists sure to turn all preconceptions on their head. This is a whole new brand of Celtic Soul, blending hip hop lyrical flow with pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art R'n'B production with anthemic rock dynamics, classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives. It's got all the emotion and passion you would expect from across the Irish sea, but it is glittering in its modernity, universal in its singalong addictiveness and global in its syncopation, music for the feet, heart and head'.

Movies and proposals

How many real-life romantic proposals have you heard of?
I know some romantic stories.
But let’s make it easier. I’ve got my personal list of the best movie proposals:

1. "Gone With the Wind" (1939)- classy and funny
2. "Pride and Prejudice"(2005)- 'I have fought against my better judgment, my family's expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony,'
3. "Serendipity"(2001)- candles and roses everywhere
4. " Sweet Home Alabama" (2002)- a ring from Tiffany’s
5. "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (1994)- the pouring rain and unexpected proposal

Do you have your own list?

Paris in the springtime

Lately I'm thinking and talking about Paris a lot. A friend of mine is going there for a week and my favorite blogger Joanna Goddard is going there with her fiance before their wedding.
I remember my unfounded vision of this city. I didn't like it at all.
Now, after beeing there I think it's amazing but too crowded place for living. :)
