Today, I would like to share with you all one of the cutest and most magic moments in 'How I Met Your Mother' ever. And yes, it's Marvin's Lullaby!
This wondrous song, called 'Night, Night, Little Marvin', is the one Marshall and Lily use to wish a goodnight to their son, Marvin Waitforit Eriksen, who was born in 2012, just at the end of season 7 -Magician's Code chapters 1 and 2-.
Jason Segel's voice is so sweet and tender, and Lily looks so proffessional when it comes to instrumental skills, so I gotta say they make a wonderful couple not just as husband and wife, but as musicians too.
For those interested, the song appears on the sitcom's episode 'The Final Page Part 2', season 8, the same episode when Ted inaugurates his greatest artwork to date, the GNB Tower, and when Barney proposes marriage to Robin in the roof of WWN Building -to me, one of the sitcom's best episodes ever!-. And now, with no further delay, here you are the one and only 'Night, Night, Little Marvin' as performed by his dedicated parents, Marshall Eriksen and Lily Aldrin! :D

The original video, as appears on the already mentioned episode :)



The official song, full version :)

The Atomium



Just as happens with Paris and the Eiffel Tower, Brussels is the home for one of the hugest, most amazing monumets ever. And yes, I'm talking about... the Atomium! 
With its 102 metres of height, this impressive structure was designed for the Brussels expo in 1958, and was planned to last for no more than six months. However, the Atomium would be never taken down, as it soon became one of Brussels's most widely visited attractions. Technically, the structure represents an iron crystal -which means that every bubble is an independent atom-. That means that, in spite of its name, the Atomium isn't an atom but nine iron atoms (Fe) kept together through powerful bonds, creating an awesome iron crystal... isn't that amazing? -or at lest it's amazing for me, a future biochemist-.
Back to my visit, I feel really lucky as it started to rain while I was inside the great landmark, and by the time I came out, it had just stopped raining. Great thing! But due to rain, Brussels skyline wasn't visible, and pictures are not as good as I expected but... they are all genuine, so hope you like all them. 
In addition, I have included a picture which shows how's the Atomium inside: some bubbles include incredible light spectacles inside, and walking from one ball to another feels like traveling in a spaceship... truly FANTASTIC! :D

Through my life, I've been to many different places: from huge and cosmopolitan cities to historical villages, not to mention some of the most wonderful natural landscapes that you could ever imagine. I have spent some time talking about the two first options, but to be honest I've rarely talked about the third one, and today... it's time!
Dear travelers, please be welcome to one of the most precious landscapes all around the world: The Fréhel Cape (Le cap Fréhel in French) and the Castle of La Latte (Fort La Latte), a little castle located nearby. An open door to the Atlantic Ocean, and a place to feel inspired. 
Both landmarks are located in French Britanny, near Saint-Malo and Dinan, and are approachable places, so you won't face any major problems when going there. Above all, it's a wonderful place to feel the soft touch of the ocean breeze -though it gets windy at times- and have some relax and, why not, a few tons of amazing snapshots! :)











History is full of magical ballads whose beauty can literally touch your soul and fill it with sweetness, warmth and hope. Among the most beautiful of these ballads, I have to mention this one: 'To Where You Are', from the Californian baritone, the always outstanding Josh Groban.
This wondrous masterpiece from the LA singer was included in his debut album 'Josh Groban', released in the year 2001, and soon became a worldwide-recognized song, even appearing on TV series 'Ally McBeal'.
Honestly, one of the best ballads I have ever listened to. Josh's voice looks amazingly powerful, reaching every single note and raising it to perfection. But since words are not enough to describe such beauty... just listen yourself and let the music inspire you! :)

Brussels is an extraordinary city, no doubt! But among the many attractions which the belgian capital city helds, there's always a place that makes you feel more than just delighted. And I've got to say that one of those was, indeed, the Brussels Royal Palace.

From the outside, it's nearly impossible not to feel somehow attracted by the enormous simplicity of its wondrous classical facade. 
In the inside, huge halls and extraordinarily arranged rooms: from the fanciest one to the most plain. Every single room hides magnificent treasures.
The Royal Palace, located just opposite the Federal Parliament, can be visited almost everyday from 10 am -or so I think- and, what for it... it's free! Nice place, and wondrous visit!
