Today's playlist is about one of my favourite band: the Arctic Monkeys.  The rhythm of their songs is so catchy and the lyrics are absolutely great. So today I decided to list my top 10 songs and why I like them so much. Enjoy! (Click on the title to listen to the song) 10) 505 It used to be one of my favourite songs from Arctic Monkeys when I found out about them for the first time until I discovered other amazing songs. It still makes it into my top 10.  " But I crumble completely when you cry, It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye, I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise, Take my hands off of your eyes too soon" 9) When The Sun Goes Down This is the very first song I've listened by Arctic Monkeys and it was love at first sight. It's one of those songs that makes you want to sing along even though you don't know the lyrics.  "Bet she's delighted when she sees him Pulling in and givi...

I don't know if it's the same for you, but I associate almost every moment of my life to a song.  Music is so important for me. Music understands your moods, it makes you feel less alone and brings amazing memories back.  I don't have a particular preference in music. I like what I find enjoyable and it could be absolutely anything, from pop to rock to jazz, recent or old it doesn't matter. So that's why I decided to share the playlist that is keeping me company through this rainy afternoon. It's a bit of a Throwback Tuesday. Enjoy. - "I Say a Little Prayer For You", Aretha Franklin - "Strangers in the Night", Frank Sinatra - "La Vie En Rose", Louis Armstrong  - "La Bohème", Charles Aznavour  - "New York, New York", Frank Sinatra - "Feeling Good", Nina Simone - "Ain't No Sunshine", Bill Withers - "Sway", Dean Mart...

I am not a feminist.  Yes, I am a woman and I don't believe in feminism. It's not that I don't believe in equality between men and women, but the word already gives it away: "feminism". Not the best way to express the "lack of differences" between the two genders (which is bullshit, but this is not the purpose of this post).  I am interested in showing how different is for women to go out by themselves. It doesn't matter if it's day or night, if it's in a club on a Saturday night or during a sunny day in a park full of families. It doesn't matter if it's in a city or in a town. If you are not in the company of a "penis-equipped" person, there will always be someone ready to annoy you.  Everything started last weekend when two friends and I decided to make a trip to London to do something different. We were ready to go clubbing, so we left the hostel (in a quite central area of London) and we head to the bus stop....

  I just finished watching "How To Get Away With Murder". I spent the last two days going crazy over this TV show and I finally finished the first season. Many of you may say that my game is too weak, like "Did you watch a season in two days?? Such a greenhorn!".  Well, I'm a newbie in this TV series world and I like to think that I'm too busy doing other stuff to watch fifteen episodes in one go.  Anyway, How to Get Away With Murder. The most practical module I've ever seen in my life. Thank God I'm not a law student.  The show is about five law students, Wes Gibbins, Connor Walsh, Michaela Pratt, Asher Millstone, Laurel Castillo, chosen by the lecturer and lawyer Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) to be part of her team among with Bonnie Winterbottom (Liza Weil) and Fran DelFino (Charlie Weber).  Among all the background stories that are all the cases that Prof. Keating works on with her team, there is the main story, the murder of ...
