That s me with my new haircut btw :P
Anyway, this week, I went to still south of France but east, even though I moved 21 times in 28 years, some members of my family haven t move. I arrived on monday at my grandma s and unfortunately until the end of the year we had the... flood, of course everybody joked about it, telling me ' u brought us the irish climate ;( ' bunch of mean people! So, i could not do much the first days except clicking animals, i dunno i love animals so I got the chance to click some of them:

Vicky the cute doggee of the neighbour, I heard she likes to pose for the photograph, I must say she s doing it pretty good :D

Julie, my grandma s cat:)

Tigrou, the neighbour s cat, such a cute and soft cat.

Fusain, my aunt s cat :)

Some random dogs in the street, notice the leather jacket, doggeee fashion style, u don t see it but he is actually wearing a pink reabbon on top to maintain some extra hair, while the one behind is showing is tongue :P
Sometimes I also take babies like the neighbours, and she is darn cute:

On the last day of 2008, I went to my aunt s house to celebrate the new year s coming. During the afternoon while her best friend was cooking yummy stuff for the evening, I colored my aun t s hair. Why i m sure u re wondering I mentionned that, well it s simple, i can t really say i m proud of many things in my life, but for sure i m proud of one thing, I am the first person that ever colored my aunt s hair in 47 years!!!!
My aunt is not the kind of girly girly and i managed to make her change her mind and switch from a grey hair to her former brunette style, since then (it was a year ago) she started wearing make up, rings and made some highlights!!!!
I know, so that day she was in big need of a new hair color since her previous color well vanished and she looked more like Sonia Rikyel (fashion designer)!!! so I only put a pic of her AFTER the color not before, I don t want her to kill me!

I celebrated with great food the new year and funny story, if u never tried i recommend u to do it, have u ever play arrow-words drunk? No? What a shame! It is fantastic!

I did my first arrow-words at midnite after wine and champaign not only my brain was on speed but for sure my aunt s guests were thrilled to have me there since how much they laugh!
Anyway, I m not gonna through the good resolutions of the year since 99% of the time I don t reach them, I only gonna put what I would like to happen and then hope it will:
- loose weight (this is somehow recurrent each year)


- go to India (lets say in March :)
- find a great job in south of france
- move out this year (preferably before summer :P)
- why not find someone (not that i m desperately looking for it, i d rather move first)
- win the lottery (well what the heck y not)
- NB: buy a lottery ticket (that might help :P)

On friday I went to eat in a spanish restaurant with my grandma:

and my god i was so full that i could not even eat a desert, I got meat 'a la plancha' served on top of slate one word DE-LI-CIOUS.


Of course I haven t mention all the great plates my grandma did but trust I had a special yummy diet and that s not gonna help my first 'resolution'!

Now, today I went to la Grande Motte, which is a special place for me, my grandma bought when i was 1 year a flat in this city which is very original by its weird architecture but i love it.


I spent all my summer, learn to swim, my first teenager holidays and first love here so this is a special place for me.
There is a port:


giant beach where i used to go twice a year to get rid of the negative feelings and it feels GREAT


today I was happy to be there and of course I took some pics :P Hope u ll enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them :P

A seagal ready to fly, I m so glad I got this shot, click on it to have it bigger:


Black and White sunset in front of the beach



Sepia sunset



It has my AGE, I used to play there when I was a kid, I can t believe it is still here!!!!!!



The sand with the building of La Grand Motte as a background

A little bird not that shy :P


My yatch well in my dream ...Well, that s it for my 2 weeks trip in France, I packed my bag and of course with all the food I brought back i have 5 extra kilos to carry so 50 euros to pay to mean Ryanair! Anyway, I ll be back to Ireland tomorrow ;( but the only thing that make me happy to go back it s because next week i ll go to the Indian ambassy to do my visa for my future trip to come :D
Take care People

I m not back yet in Blogville, but since i m on holidays and I have less freakin-office-compulsory-stress, and for the sake of the holidays spirit, play PAUSE on my break to share wid ya my first week in France. I left on sunday the 21st my rainny-greenish-windy Ireland to South of France where surprisingly it was colder than Ireland ;( so guess what I got a very bad cold ;(

- a GIANT steak to eat on Friday with my dad when I arrived, it might sound weird, but Food in France is a culture, it s like food for French is as much important as religion for Indians ;) Here in Ireland, to have a decent small steak u have to burn 10 euros for it, in France u can get the triple size for half the prize!!!! And I don t want anything else no potatoes, no rice whateva aside it, just a bloody steak (I apologize for the veggie).
- blood test ;( I hate syringe, I am actually quite scared of it. I m trying to avoid it as much as possible, but with a mum who is a nurse and a dad who is a pain in ass sometimes (but i love him) i need to do a check up. And I can t do it in Ireland, first of all because we have one of the best medical and social administration who is free btw in France and I won t have to explain in English and in panic that I hate injection.
- hair dressing: I have a wedding to attend, so obviously I have to look decent, now, I talked to my hair dresser in France who already told she won t be able to color my hair 2 hours before the wedding, which means that i m going to that wedding with white hairs, I m addicted with these, everybody tells me 'but we don t see them , it s fine' yeah 'I see them' it s like they are sparkling at me, if they could talk they will say ' hahah, in your face, u ll be white at 30 dear' ;(


- a wedding: I love wedding, happy people getting married, I ll be there with my Nikon who is my partner for the wedding ;(, I hate the traditional question: will u come with a partner? mee: nah, is it a problem? yeah yeah I know I m 28, i have enough with my dad who everytime i asked him what he wants for Xmas he replied 'a grandchild'!


- quality time with my dad ;) then my mum ;) then dealing business with my bro to get a new phone (my bro is a salesperson, nothing is free with him, he could sell my dad and mum on the market ;)
- tan + sun: yes, as u know i m working in Ireland, and I m white not just white but DAMN white, i m thinking that everybody will be tanned at the wedding except me grrrrrr so i m planning some nap time in my mum s garden.
- tour of the 'Pink City' with a couple of friends coming from ireland, I ll show them where i used to live in France and why we call it the 'Pink city'
- Doctor, following the blood test of course
- Dentist, I hate dentist as much as injection, well I don t really hate the dentist himself only the job, spending 30 min on a seat while somebody is playing with ur teeth and talk to u at the same time, like u can answer him! If he wanted to talk he should have choose psy or taxi driver but not dentist!


- Did I mention the food? Yeah, I ll make sure i take pics for foodies, BBQ, mum s cooking stuff yummy, also local drinks like Pastis (my fav) and wine from the cellar ;)


- and hair dresser again to finally make the colour to hide those nasty white hairs, i must say my ex ex manager is responsible for the fast growing of those hairs (stress/pression/frustration grrrr)
Anyway, I think I m done with my checklist ;) Now for the tag, as --xh-- automatically tagged me for every tag ;) i m doing the screenshot of my Desktop wall, I like pin ups, specially these one made by Leigh Young rather than skinny b... ;) more sexy and sensual

Oups I forgot to mention the awards Sourish rewarded me with ;) I m so excited my first two yeah ;)
