This have been an extremely busy week for me. I didn't feel well and I even stayed home from school wednesday to get better. Thursday I had to get up really early ( read: half past five!) to go to Utrecht. There were the auditions for the study I really love to do next year called theatre and education. It was an amazing day, and I learned a lot. Unfortunately I didn't make it through to the next round so I am not going to do that study next year. I'm really dissapointed of course and I am now doubting about what to do next year.
Today I went skating with a friend because the weather was so wonderful! it really felt like spring. We skated 26 kilometres and we want a little applause for that. To remain the springfeeling I want to share a song with you. It's from an irish singer-songwriter who is going to perform on Lowlands 2012.
Yesterday I decided to tidy up my closet because there are a lot of clothes that don't fit and I never wear anymore, and it's a shame it stays in my closet unused. Some of them are clothes that really don't fit any more, but it hurts too much to throw them away! (I'm too sentimental I know!) However I did manage to fill a big bag of clothes that I give away to someone at school who collects clothes for those who are less fortunate.
I have to admit that this skirt already lay in my closet for one year untouched and I really have to realise now that size 36 is way past;) It's a shame
So I didn't really do a lot interesting apart from learning french words for a test this friday and listening to the same song over and over again.
I'm still living like it was that weekend in August when everything was different in "Biddinghuizen" where Lowlands found place. Unfortunately I have to wait a whole year, till it is again. I do have some more photo's for you ( I'm sorry if it gets boring). These are not mine, but they are from Wies.
Today I've had lunch with a friend at a very good turkish place. We both had feta-cheese omellete and it tasted so good! Offcourse the weather also helped, because The sun was shining all day!
I saw this video on tv today and although I don't really like the song, the video is really amazing!
The weather has been really awful whole day long. Actually already for a couple of days. Lately I've been busy with my "profielwerkstuk" for school a lot. It is a big project which counts for your school exams. I want to focus on theatre, the way you play emotions and what the audience really wants to see. Today I also got really excited about the plans a friend and I are making. We want to go skiing together somwhere in the christmas holiday: excited!
The photo's are from sunday morning, when I still thought it was going to be good weather. I am still finding out a way to make good photo's of myself, but didn't succeed yet.
Oh and one last thing, on some blogs you may find shoplogs quite often. (Hopefully for me) you won't find any on mine, cause I'm trying not to buy any clothes for a whole year. I am on three months now so I still have 9 to go. If I manage to stick with this idea, a friend of mine will take me to dinner, but if I do buy something I will take her out for dinner!
Lately I'm a little into breads. Usually I just make a normal bread to the left side of my head and sometimes I do a fishtale bread but today I tried to make a little bread o my head and I quite like the result. It still is a bit messy, but with some practise it will get better.
I heard a lot of music whe I was on Lowlands, but a lot of the bands and performers where quite new for me. I want to share some of the song I heard on Lowlands 2011.
The weather is getting better and there are so much fun things to do, but instead I am sitting home learning for the upcoming testweek. I have to get good grades, otherwise I might not pass this year. So no sewing, watching tv and less on the internet this week and a lot more in the studybooks.
As you can see I have a new header, made by Loni ,this is her blog. I like it a lot, tell me what you think?
Does anyone recognise the feeling that your head is floating over and you can't keep doing everything? Maybe that is the reason why this blog is going so slow, because everytime my head is floating over I don't know what to blog. But because of a friend who treatened me if I didn't tart blogging again. So especially for you a new message. Not much very interesting stuff but again a excuse me message and a dreamy song.
It's a trick weather plays on me all the time, when I have to be inside whole days it is lovely weather like this weekend and when I have to go to school by bike it is raining! So please let it be a little better weather!
I made some photo's of the stuff bought at the second hand market in amsterdam.
And also some photo's of some stuff I bought new in Rotterdam. I also made a 'lovely' bag for a second craft swap. I hope I don't scare you will all these pictures;)

This is the song stuck in my head for the last couple of days. It is a sad song but very beautiful.
To be honest I don't care about make-up a lot, most of the time I go off with a bith of mascara only. However today I felt like buying some make-up. So I bought a new mascara for at my dad's, face powder and 3 shades of brown eyeshadow. I am also going to put brown nailpolish on this evening so appearantly today I'm in a brown mood.
Tomorrow we are going to have dinner in the restaurant "Shabu Shabu" in Rotterdam, maybe you have aver heard of it. I have never been there before but am already looking forward to it!
Dutch people might have heard this song on television in the coca cola ad, and it is sticking in my head now.
Every year while everyone is celebrating spring, I am having colds all the time. So while writing this I'm in my cosy bed. When ill I'm always reading lots of books. Now I am reading in a book called "the beach cafe" written by Lucy Diamond. It is one of the books I got for my birthday and it is hilarious.
So this book is making my staying-in-bed day a lot sunnier!
Maybe I am too old for it but I never understood the Justin Bieber hype. So I concluded that boys from his age trying to be a superstar aren't my piece of cake, but no I found out of a young boy called Greyson Chance and his voice is amazing! So I would say, enjoy your day and give it a listen!
I think you all know it, you have a lot to do, you just need to start on it and then you get distracted. This time I was distracted by a phonecall of a lovely friend. We have been on the phone for more than one and a half hour. It was a lovely conversation but the problem is that I still have to do all that things. Tomorrow I am celebrating my birthday. And I came to the conclusion that I hate birthdays, cause I have to tidy up my room, decide on what to buy for drinks, cake and all things you expect to be there on a birthday. And you also have to invite people, who ofcourse never say if they are planning on coming or not. But ofcourse when then it is the birthay everything is great.
So now a song to make me happy ( and you readers afters this depressive post).
You could't have missed them : the tv-commercials for the Dutch version of "The sing off". There is already an American version of the show, and I got so jealous only by wachting some youtube movies. These people have so much musical talent! They produce beautiful songs without using any instruments.
Enjoy!
First of all, I decided to go on blogging in English. Secondly I am so sorry that I haven't written anything for almost a month. Yesterday I was in a creative mood all of a sudden and made a little basket and a mobilephone cover. I already lost the moblile cover ( I am so organised). But I will post a photo of the basket.
I am having school holidays for a week. I am so happy to have some free time and being able to sleep late. Today I promised a friend that I am going to post more here on my blog and that I will do something creative this week and post it here as well.
Then I want to say one last thing. That is: Ben l'oncle soul. He is a french soul singer and he is fantastic! So everyone should give it a listen, especially the song "sympathique" .
