Quote of the day

Be that strong woman that everyone knew who would make it through the worst. Be that fearless woman, the one who would dare to do anything. Be that independant woman who didn't need a man. Be that woman who never backed down.

Rest In Peace

We have a death in the family. She died way to soon!

Dinner In Magis - Anniversary date*

February is really the most busy, expensive month in the year.. Me and the boyfriend celebrate our annual anniversary.Then you have Valentine’s Day and last but not least, the 26^th. Not only the Oscars are hold that day, but it’s also my birthday. I’m stepping into the world of ‘twenty-something’ I don’t mind it at all! Because I see it as a chance to really become mature and take responsibility for everything I do. Childhood is over. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun!

This Sunday I went eating in Magis. I can say it was very magical.. It’s a one Michelin star restaurant in Tongeren(Belgium). Tongeren is the oldest town in Belgium. Too bad I didn’t make any pictures of the city. Next time I will. I am definitely going back for a quick lunch because it was so delicious! Also the interior was very topnotch. The place reminded me of an art gallery. As being the girlfriend of a top chef, I have to be very critical. In the beginning was this very difficult; I didn't knew anything about the ‘cuisson, brunoise’ and all those kitchen things! But after several years I can already tell the difference between a good dish and just rubbish! Who knows, maybe you can find me one day in my own restaurant as ‘Chef de Maison’? I am wise full enough to stay out of the kitchen.

The Beginning*

Finally I am starting my blog. After making columns for my own, I decided to share the world ‘my world’. It’s a cocktail of all my adventures, thoughts and experiences. That’s why I called it ‘Life on the rocks’.  I’ll try to keep you up to date about everything I see, like, approve, disapprove...

The reason why I finally made it?

I was really scared this NYE because I didn’t want 2011 to end. Why? Because I’m afraid of 2012 of course! I know, maybe I’m just a little superstitious. But with everything that’s going on in the world. It really seems like it’s coming to an end. Me don’t want!!  But unfortunately, I’m not God nor any other person who could possibly make a difference to save it,  so I’m going to fully enjoy my time here on earth!!

So I made several plans to pursue my dreams. Plan A: Since I was young I always wanted to work for Vogue. I think it’s one of the best magazines in the world!! I really want to have my own column, and be the new Carrie Bradshaw. And who knows, maybe in the future, even the new Anna Wintour?!  

Plan B: Saving enough money so that I can buy me a ticket to Tanzania & stay there at the Kilimanjaro to survive!!  (you never know!!)

Plan C: Making my life so cool as what. So that I can report you amazing things, where I’m mostly proud of! Maybe my dreams will come true? If not, at least I tried it!

Plan D & E & F… So many other dreams!! It’s important to be open minded and  to pull everything out of life!

I hope you’ll enjoy this blog as much as sipping cosmopolitans in your favorite bar.

(Maybe even more?)
