Busy Bee

hey everyone!

it took a while to come up with some new things that might interest you, but they're finally here!
I'm just being a busy bee for the past time because right now I'm in my studyweek, this means I have lovely exams next week! how delightfull..
after that I'll have a nice week of re-exams which I love even more, in a non-serious and loving way ofcourse.

While making my Business Communication assignment I gave the greatest clothing store ever, the H&M ofcourse, a new clothing line for our fellow-citizens around the age of 65+
I took the television Big Brother onto another level, I hate that show so much, that's why I kind of called all the features in the program 'a problem'. (note: we had to find some problems and solve them to gain viewers)
So in my world Big Brother sucks a little bit less.
And finally for the Exam grade we get to do this for the Eurovision Song Contest(Festival for you guys) too.
Of course I improved this show into perfection, nobody even dares to not watch it anymore. Artists that already where big before the ESC will be ruled..no actually kicked out of the pre-selections to give the real talents of every country a better shot, because we don't want the political kind of voting: I like you, and although your song sucks I give the all the credits.
Na-ah, this is not what the Eurovision exists for. So me, as the new NHTV Imagineer will tell the managers what their shows are really made of...
And ofcourse that is all the crap they earn money with, they actually don't care what they broadcast as long as they can drive their Jaguars, swim in their amoeba-shaped swiming pools and are able to invite the playmates into their 10 million dollor mansions.
Well what an exiting life!

Besides all the lovely homework I'm getting ready for the greatest concert ever, the one I already told you about like 20 times, but I don't care because it's JAMES!
we love james! we love james! (instead of "we want more!", I don't know that yet;))

Another very exiting thing I have to tell you is about the summerbreak!
My friend esther is going on a holiday somewhere near Barcelona and she's taking me with here! Can you see us walking already?
I sure know I do, walking around the malls of Barcelona, getting taned under the Spanish sun, stealing the nice guys from doll-faced fellow-campers (yes we will be on a campingplace and doll-faced girls are just very annoying, soooo fake!)
but ofcourse also visiting the great art of Gaudi, taking tours around nature and even wash some dishes and our own clothes of course, can you imagine now? ofcourse you can..
a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do!

And then again the Tef-awards came around!
my group got through the pre-selections but unfortunately we didn't win in the end. Some ideas, presenters..or even songs are just that little extra that the teachers find important.
Ofcourse we don't, everyone knows we were the actual winners, but hey you can't have everything!
The night did end in a very fun way, because the organisation hired a band to perform during the after party. And the best part of that was that the drummer of the band was my classmate during all my 5 years on highschool! So now I'm the first official groupie, I screamed my lungs out and left as the last person.
You can't disagree with me this makes the not winning-part up!
So thank you Bartje & the rest of Marvin for you performance and company, you did a great job and it was fun!

For now I have to do a lot of re-styling, cleaning and tidying up my room, it's such a mess I just can not find anything.
so..does anyone have a bulldozer available?


see ya soon!
xx love,

Away from the sun..

Yep, because it's typical winter weather, so actually the sun is more away from us.. but whatever, you get the clue don't you?

So what have you been up to these two weeks of winterbreak? I already know a few things, but that can't be all! Leo (of should I say Bob?) bought a lot of dvd's and I must say I am a little jealous. Essepoester is painting here room at this moment and Mie came back from Idaho.
Well I just have to wait a few more days until it's school again and we hear all the stories, in the meantime I will tell you what I've been doing.

The very first two days of the break I went to see my grandparents and I had christmas diners etc. you know how that goes with the holidays. Later on I went to Nijmegen with my sister, because she has a room there but I didn't see it yet, we did some serious shopping over there too.
I also had to help a friend of mine out with cooking, well actually not me, I'll confess, but my mom because I can't cook either. But still after my moms detailed description of the recipe, he failed! Let's hope he will succeed the next time, because you will all understand it's kind of disapointing to my mom, so pino just so you know, try harder next time!
On Friday my dear friend Esther stopped by, and we watched the movie 'Lord of Dogtown', O heaven! we searched on the internet for the real Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva and last but certainly not least Jay Adams. And those directors of the movie really did they're job, I can tell you, those actors look almost exactly like the real people in their youth.

But besides having fun you have to work ofcourse, else you couldn't have the fun of shopping, renting movies etc. so the few days after I worked a little extra and then it was already 2007!
Happy Newyear & the best wishes everyone!
Ofcourse this should be celibrated with some shopping and hanging around with friends, so we had a little mini-meeting with Debs, Krisch, Essepoester, Mayow and me. I bougt 'Failure to Launch' and got a lot of magazines with James on and in it from the lady behind the counter, thank you miss! I will make wallpaper out of it;)

For some more serious shopping I went to Antwerp, from wednesday on it was what they call 'solden' and translated into my language that means: AMAZING DISCOUNT!
So me, my sisters Anouk and Esther and Paulien and Chris got over there to see which nice things were left there for us. Well believe it or not, I didn't buy a thing from the discount! I don't understand myself either, why I didn't but I did buy something I wanted for sooo long.
my yellow heels! they look like Louboutins a lot, but mine are not shiny, but just leather and they're more ochre-yellow. I love them!

Suddenly I realise there's only a month left before I go to see (ruffle of drums) JAMES!
I already know all lines from the songs, and of the songs he didn't write but he does sing, so that's going to be a piece of cake. Me and Jorien will get his attention;)

While having the break I also had some free time to surf the internet for a few things I didn't have the time for. Like an amazing dancer called Sofia Boutella.
I guess you are all thinking: who the ? is sofia boutella, but I assure you, after this clip you will think: aaaah sofia boutella, then just say that!
well, let's see if I'm right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJA6MIUlkKs
And?
Well I just wish I could be an amazing dancer like her, but I guess that will only be in my dreams, because she started at the age of 5, and that means I'm 12 years late..
This girl also dances in the crew of madonna, in a bodyrockers video and does even more advertising for nike woman.

well this was enough for the early saturdaymorning I guess, there's more to come in a while.
have a nice weekend! and I also want to hear your stories this time, so prepare..
