. Goodbye Madiba .

My grand-mother left us a year ago today. She was a role model for me and many others, just as Nelson Mandela who passed away yesterday. Learn from your ancestors and pass it over to the next generations... 

 

" Personne n’est né avec la haine pour l’autre du fait de la couleur de sa peau, ou de son origine, ou de sa religion. Les gens doivent avoir appris à haïr, et s’ils peuvent apprendre à haïr, ils peuvent apprendre à aimer car l’amour jaillit plus naturellement du cœur humain que son opposé." 

  

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

R.I.P Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

. short and long .

Hello, hello, it's been so long. Yes, i know, just can't find no time for nothin'... Only today in my life's despair, i decided to cut my fringe off and straighten my hair, to see how it'd look. There is this very cute little haidresser in rue Mouffetard, so i gave it a go. Hope you like it. x

. monday .

hello, i'm back from a two weeks break in the south. One week of holidays spent mushroom picking and seing friends. The second spent working on a music project, singing with our vocal quatuor Alinéa 4 and the band I Fratelli Tarzanelli. We created, invented and reworked 9 songs that we recorded for a soon to be pressed cd. It was an incredible, fulfilling yet exhausting experience. But I'm extremely proud to have finaly accomplished something I really wanted in my life. Now, I'm back in Paris and became completely addicted to the online magazine Freunde von Freunden. I just spent about 2 hours scrolling through the photos and interviews which I find very inspiring!

. heading south .

Hello and goodbye. I'm packing right now, leaving grey Paris for the south for holiday and work (more on that later ...). I'm not sure i'll be posting. Maybe. See ya! x

As some of you know, Bougainvillea is my favorite flower, and is one of the reasons I'd love to live in a warm place.

Hi, it's been a while, lots of work, but now I'm on holiday and I just received my cruiser skateboard! It's from a new company La Planche A Roues, own by friends and the boards are all unique and hand-made in France from the design to the finish. 

Check them out, now I'm off cruising...

Today, I found out I was accepted at university in Paris for my French as a foreign language  teaching course. Within 3 years time I'll be a certified french teacher anywhere in the world! From now on, I'm on the hunt for a flat and a job in this beautiful city. If you hear of anything, please let me know! 

Thanks.

The photo is from three years ago, when I visited my dear friends there. I can't wait to beat the pavement with those girls again!
