Hey,
Why did I start to blog? What am I looking to get out of it?
These are questions that i found myself struggling with before starting this blog. I mean, who would want to read about the stuff that interest me? Who would 'dig' the weird combination of topics that truly me make me "pop"?
Honestly, I have always loved to write and read, so i was always playing with the idea of writing a book or a story or something like that. However, having no concept for a 'full' book, blogging looked like the easier option. Heck, I'll just write of whatever gets me going, in the hope that other people would like to follow.
Second, I have been a follower of several blogs in the last year, and I have grown quite attached to them. They are the first tabs that I open in my work computer when I get in the office every morning, and I like to re-visit them during the day. I started with Tina, continued with Kath, and Caitlin, and i like to occasionally check-up on Angela and Mama Pea's.
Third, having to blog/report of my daily activities and thoughts will sort of push me to change me a bit in a positive way. I mean, for those instances in which I debate whether to go out for a walk/ run, knowing I will write about it will drive me through the door. Blame it on social approval, but if it helps me to keep motivated, it is a very good thing.
Time will tell if some, or all, of my wishes would come true.

Hesitating once, twice, and blog !
hey there,
My name is Lital, I am 27, and I have been playing with the idea of blogging for a long time.
I even thought of a name during this week, until the urge got the best of me and I just sat down, and, well, just started my own blog !
In here, I will write about the things that interest me, hoping to make it interesting for you guys, the readers.
A few basic facts on me: I live in Israel, have been married for two years now to my dear husband (who should be named hereinafter "the husband".
I like to eat, especially desserts (hence, the blog's name). I studied economy for my B.A. in Israel's Institute of Technology and have recently graduated an International Executive MBA program in the Haifa University.
Not-so-basic facts:
1. I LOVE everything with the country of Japan and its culture- traveling there 15 months ago was a dream come true
2. I am seriously addicted to watching "the amazing race". I watched all 19 seasons of it. the first 15 I finished watching in a mere few months. Would LOVE to do one.
3. Other addictions: Nigella Lawson's cooking shows- that woman is truly AMAZING, and I would heart to have dinner at her place (I like her cooking !)
4. I love Studio Ghibli's animation movies (of course, the fact that this is a Japanese studio really helps), especially Totoro, "the keeper of the forest', that was first introduced in the movie "My neighbor Totoro".
I can assure you that I have other quirky features under my belt, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
The picture above was taken in the Philosophers' Path in Kyoto, Japan, during the famous Sakura ("Cherry Blossom") season of 2010 (a year before the horrifying earthquake and tsunami)
