Mon premier (et j'espère pas la dernière)...

Oui, finalement... my first post (and hopefully not the last)! :D

I've created this account before I moved to France more than a year ago so you might be wondering what prompted me to start. I got the idea from a friend actually. She decided to put Facebook posts and other stuff, which "moved" her to her blog so she can access them more easily. Very brilliant!

Why now? Plain and simple. Because it's the start of a new month (and perhaps because it's already Christmas in the Philippines?! LOL!).

The past few weeks have been spent mostly at home, taking advantage of my free time before I start working next week. Looking back, I have been pretty productive:
  • doing post-church wedding stuff;
  • following-up on government-related matters;
  • attending the after summer break rehearsals of the UNESCO Choir;
  • enhancing the ACS website;
  • fixing our files (papers, papers, papers and others);
  • starting a scrapbook (yay!);
  • making (and finishing!) a digital photo album of our South of France exploration
Let me share with you some of the things, which made my heart smile the past few days:
  • COOKING COMPLIMENT RECEIVED: "I like your cooking a lot!" - from the hubby's petite-cousine (his cousin's daughter) who dined with us for a couple of days last month. *BLUSH*
  • ADELE'S MUSIC: One of my staple playlists while working. Her most recent performance at the 2011 Video Music Awards is just perfection personified. Too bad the link's already removed on YouTube, but I hope this live rendition in her own home will do: Someone Like You. P.S. The hubby surprised me with a copy of her album when he got home from work. Awww...
  • THE BUCKET LIST: The poster I chose above is the less popular one, but I like it better. This movie never fails to move me to tears and it succeeded again just an hour or so ago.
  • BEYONCÉ: Who she is as an artist is a source of inspiration. Here's "Beyoncé: Year of 4," which "documents the year-long personal and artistic journey that inspired Beyoncé's fourth solo album, 4."
