My favourite superhero (Day 6 Blogging Babes challenge)

My absolute favourite superhero is the one and only Batman. He is one of the only main superhero’s who isn’t a so called god, an alien or the result of some kind of science experiment (except for Iron-man of course) All he has going for him is his money and skills, with which he made his suit and gadgets.Batman_in_the_batcave_wallpaper

In addition batman is a loner. He doesn’t need others to help him fight his battles. He uses his own knowledge to defeat the bad guys. He only has one true confidant and that is his butler Alfred. Batman’s best ally is the darkness. In the dark he is virtually invisible.

Furthermore Batman never kills and he never uses guns. His combat is made up of the skills he acquired in his training and his gadgets. batman-joker-wallpaper-10

The relationship between Joker and Batman is another thing that interests me. Joker is a homicidal maniac that has no guilt of his actions. He was a character in the comic books that were to be written out after a few appearances but has become so important to the Batman series that he is now one of Batman’s most dangerous adversaries.

Everything Chanel

I recently saw this beautiful picture on Pinterest and wondered how I could recreate this look. The bulk of the decor is Chanel inspired.

A habit I wish I didn’t have

Today is day 4 of my 30 day blogging challenge. So far so good…

One habit that I wish I didn’t have is.. wait for it… impulsive on-line shopping. Usually when we go to Seoul for shopping I have my husband to keep me in check. But when it comes to on-line shopping all I have to do is press proceed to checkout. The only thing that stops me from spending too much is that I can only import 150,000 won’s worth of products per order from international on-line stores but local stores like G-market and booking.com has no limits.

Here is what I’ve bought this month.( some of these were for myself and others were gifts)

Wow now, only when I had to gather the pictures for all my purchases I realise how much I’ve actually bought this month 😮

 

My Pets

Currently I don’t have any pets with me here in Korea, but we have 5 dogs that are living with my husbands parents in South Africa.

The meaning behind my blog name

Simple. I live in Korea and wanted to write about my life and experiences in Korea. Initially we came to Korea to use it as a stepping stone to immigrate to another country. But now since we’re here we are thinking of making it our new home even if it is just for the next few year as no one knows what the future holds. If you told me ten years ago I will be living in Korea now I would have called you out for bullshitting me.

My brother always quotes Robbie Williams by saying  “I sit and talk to God and he just laughs at my plans”. This is absolutely true. We have made so many plans with our lives but in the end its not up to us no matter how much you try to take it into your own hands.

So… here we are in Korea living it up 😀
