il dolce far niente

Or in English, ''the sweetness of doing nothing'' 
I recently heard this from the movie (which is also a book) 'Love Eat Pray' with Julia Roberts, it is said during her trip to Italy, and loved it . Probably my favourite thing to do and although Benjamin Franklin once said 'Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of'' i think sometimes just doing nothing is in a way looking at life and enjoying it. It is not always a waste. Life is lived in such a rush, that people rarely notice the little things that paint the big picture. So, next time you feel guilty for not really doing something you're supposed to, just give yourself a break and chill out..but remember moderation is key :P

Owls

I'm not exactly a bird lover, but for some odd reason i really like Owls. They're just so different starting with the fact that they are mostly nocturnal and live in solitary, they're not exactly pretty but do have a unique look. There are so many different contradictory beliefs about them like in mythology and cultures; some see them as a sign of death and doom, although personally i think they are just very wise creatures.

Since people don't often speak about owls or know much about them, i thought it would be a good idea to watch this movie.

I created this blog about one month ago but haven't really done anything on it until today. To be honest i don't know where to start, but i do know that i want it to be interesting whatever 'it' may be.
