38 things you didn't know yet about me
- I love to have long nails but they have to be pointed/rounded. I find those long rectangular nails dreadful.
- If I succeed I love to grow them as long as possible but then it starts to annoy when typing. (especially if some are still long and others have been broken shorter)
- As a toddler I was always sent to school with my sandwiches in my hand as I was such a slow eater that I could never finish my breakfast before we had to leave.
- I love "appelflappen" but not those with a sugar coating on top.
- Other than that I also love pastries that have vanilla pudding in them (to lesser extent Boule de Berlin as the bread there is so weird).
- When travelling I often buy rice pastries though as they are more sturdy to travel and are still ok to eat the next day.
- I hate to be hungry when I arrive late in a hotel, so I do like to hamster some snacks in my luggage just in case I have a craving but do not have or feel like to call room service anymore.
- I am watching the Flemish soap "Thuis" almost everyday ...have been doing so for over 15 years
- As a teenager I've been watching "Neighbours" for many years. It's hard to belief Neighbours is still running though
- As a child I've been watching Oshin for a few years together with my mom. They were broadcasting it on the Belgian tv, but after one year they restarted. I cried so often as I knew which hardships were still ahead of her. My parents feared I was too sensitive for it and threatened that I'd have to stop to watch...so I did my best not to cry anymore.
I'd really love to see Oshin again.
- As a pre-schooler I also cried over Nils Holgerssons when he couldn't return home anymore. Also there I swallowed my tears when my parents were discussing whether I could watch or not.
- I watched the fall of the Berlin wall live. I didn't feel like it but my parents told me I was watching history so I stayed up and I remember. I'm glad I did!
- I couldn't watch the news coverage on the Heysel Stadium disaster as the images were too explicite and you could see people die, so my parents said. Even in news/history reviews decades later, I still look away, afraid of what I might see.
- I haven't been to the movies in many years.
- I never did any sports (besides the mandatory PO classes in school) until I was about 25 years.
- I don't sport at this moment either.
- My main passtime as a child and teenager was music: playing the flute, band, chamber music, ...Combined with an intro to drama there was a year I spent 16h/week at the music academy.
- I don't play music anymore at this moment either.
- I'm so itchy lately
- Sleeping feet is like sparkling water released in your feet. Very weird feeling.
- I love to watch tv with my feet up on the coffee table.
- Unlike Jan I don't like watching tv while laying down in the sofa
- I only water my plants when they start seeing thirsty (leaves lower than usual). That's more or less every week or 10 days and they survive my care amazingly well.
- I don't digest fat things well but I can't draw a line what is fine or not. If wrong I'm punished with big cramps within 30 min from the meal. Fortunately the discomfort doesn't last very long.
- I still have a lot of acne. Lucky for me most of my acne was always on my back so invisible to most people.
- I love popping pimples when I have them.
- I confessed that once to a colleague who recommended me a tablet game "pimple popping" that his wife was playing all the time. I tried but that game was just gross.
- I have a big ugly scar, also on a spot that is invisible to most...pheww.
- Since the latter, I've all of a sudden become self-concious to go to a sauna or so.
- I should drink way more water than I do but I find water so boring and tasteless.
- So I probably drink much more soft-drinks than I should (always lights, zero sugar versions though)
- I haven't watched a full movie in years and I realised recently that I haven't been watching any of my favourite series on tv anymore either (besides Thuis...see "8"). My attention span is just so limited lately.
- Even worse, I am not reading books anymore and yet I have such a tempting pile nearby. Good resolutions for vacation!!!
- I dislike cities that have a clear historic center
- I'm always in the mood to eat chips
- Unlike the stereotypical women, I'm not that much into shopping. Definately not shoe shopping. Please just give me my 2-3 pairs of all-round comfortable shoes.
- I'm really in doubt whether I'll let my hair grow long again, now that it is short. I'm still quite fond of it.
- For everyone who think they know what's going on in my life just from reading my blog are wrong...there's something I've not been telling you all on here ...yet
