Three things about me

1. I associate places to food. When I went somewhere and had great food there, I will have the same dish when I go there again. So if I think of this place again, this dish will also pop in my mind haha. I always tell myself that I should try something new, but 90% of the time my stomach has already made the decision before I even got there. For instance, I always go the same Japanese restaurant when I go to Antwerp, called Kaiseki (All you can eat Japanese food, who can say no to that!).
2. When I was younger, I was incredibly insecure. I was raised to be “the perfect” child my parents wanted me to be. But I was always in conflict with myself, because I only knew how I had to behave in front of grownups. However being around other kids my age, I found it very difficult to be myself, as I wasn’t sure who this “me-person” was. Reading fantasy books helped me escape this reality. I used to spend hours reading and drawing fantasy creatures (usually mermaids and fairies).
3. I cried watching Trolls. Yes, an almost 30 year old woman, watching an animated movie was crying like a child. I wasn’t expecting this. I expected a breezy funny movie, but somehow I was so moved by it. The last time this happened was when Mufasa died in the Lion King. That’s like in 1994! If you haven’t seen Trolls, you definitely should! It’s a beautiful movie about finding your own happiness and about being the best version of yourself. It was something that felt so close to my heart…

Here are my answers to Capili’s fun questions:

1. Where do you really want to travel in the world?
   On my bucket list are: Japan (Tokyo again, Odaiba), Korea (Seoul, Jeju Island), Vietnam (Phu Quoc, Ho Chi Minh City), Singapore (of course!! I’d go every year if I could. Hell, if I had the money and all the time in the world, every month!), US (Texas (to visit my fav cousins), New York,…), Taiwan, China,… There are so many places to visit!
2. What is one goal that you would love to achieve by the end of this year?
   I have several goals:
   – Keeping up with my blog
   – 3 times per week sport: Belly dancing on Tuesday, Zumba or fitness on Thursday and Ballroom dancing on Saturday
   – Saving enough money to follow a make up training
3. If you could have a super power, what would you choose?
   I would be able to fly. I always fly in my dreams, so it feels natural to me to have that super power.
4. If you could speak another language fluently, which language would you choose?Chinese, definitely! I love that language and I think it’s doable to learn to speak it. Writing is probably a bit harder. Then again, Korean is also a fun language.
5. Which type of fruit best represents you, and why? (haha my weird question).
   Mangosteen (aside from Peach) is my favorite fruit and I like to think that it represents me best: cute and pretty with a sweet delicious inside. Hahaha, I’m just kidding!!! It is indeed a weird question, Capili!
