The Grandest Place in Belgium

The Grand Platz is the Central square of Bruxelles..this is the most important tourist destination and memorable landmark in Brussels aside from the Mannekin Pis.

I was amazed to see the intricate details of the fascade of the church (at my back). A combination of Gothic and Baroque style.

Paulo Coelho's Shirt @ MANGO

As a fanatic, I got this limited edition of Paulo Coelho's Statement T-Shirt at MANGO for php1250.00.....almost a year ago. I love this shirt [aside from the fact that i am a self-confessed Paulo C avid fan] coz of its color,texture and that the letters are in velvet *something, though I seldom wear it.

I love the statement which says that if we want something the universe will help us to get it...soo positive and motivating. Dream is a matter of faith- faith in getting it...and faith in oneself.

I first encountered this phrase, in Paulo's best selling Book "The Alchemist". That inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer oneday...that all the other things are not hindrance in getting our dreams...no matter how impossible it may seem to be. That book also encouraged me to read and collect Paulo Coelho's other books. Funny that I dont have a copy [of Alchemist] upto now. I bought one but I gave it to a friend, on his Birthday...think,way back 2004.

On Shirt: I regret that I only got one...ive realized lately, I should have gotten atleast two or three of his limited Shirts. Or maybe I will just hope, MANGO would release another Paulo Coelho's shirt collection....then, I would buy two with out any feel of guilt! :)
