Dit is geen dag om ziek wakker te worden (keel- en oorpijn).
En dit is al helemaal geen dag om wakker te worden met een weerbericht van 'onweer, hagel, maximaal 18 graden' :(

Vandaag is Mysteryland, daar hoort zon bij! En als het even kan ook een fitte lichamelijke conditie ;) Nou dat wordt nog wat vandaag..

Maar wel bijna 2 uur lang David Guettaaa ♥

Echt alweer zo lang niet geupdate. Ik doe het dit keer even in het Nederlands, omdat ik denk dat het anders hele kromme zinnen worden haha.
Maandag 3 september ben ik begonnen met de studie Franse taal en cultuur.. en morgen ga ik me uitschrijven. Ja, ik weet dat het erg snel is. Maar het is gewoon niet haalbaar voor mij en dat is nu al duidelijk. Toen ik me inschreef voor deze studie stond er doodleuk 'dat het in je voordeel is' als je al eerder Frans hebt gehad. Geen eisen of wat dan ook. Eén week voordat de studie begon moest ik een diagnostische toets maken en kreeg ik aan de hand daarvan een intake gesprek. 'Je score is te laag, je zit niet op het gewenste niveau en bij deze raden we je af deze studie te gaan volgen.' Oke fijn... dat was lekker motiverend maar niet heus, komen ze dan pas mee! Maar goed, ik wilde me niet meteen laten kennen en afhaken dus ik besloot het gewoon te proberen. Wat ik dus 3 weken heb gedaan en in die 3 weken is het me wel duidelijk geworden dat het inderdaad te moeilijk voor me is.
Ik baal er echt heel erg van, maar nu ik heb besloten ermee te stoppen is het ook een onwijze opluchting. Geen idee wat voor en of ik überhaupt nog een andere opleiding wil volgen, maar dat zie ik allemaal wel. Ik ga geen overhaaste beslissingen maken aangezien ik er ook 2 jaar over heb gedaan voor ik wist dat ik Frans wilde studeren.
Gelukkig ben ik gewoon blijven werken en ik weet vrijwel zeker dat ik over een tijdje weer meer kan werken (ik heb een vast contract en ze hebben nog niemand in mijn plaats aangenomen voor de vele uren die ik eerst werkte). Ik heb m'n werk al gebeld en naja die waren min of meer enthousiast :p achja daar word ik alleen maar blij van haha. Ik houd van m'n werk en nog meer van m'n salaris, laat het geld maar weer komen!

I just put together the wardrobe I bought at Ikea last week. All by myself within an hour, yeah I'm kinda proud (a) It's not too stable though.. but hey it was only €29,- :p

Tomorrow I have to work from 1pm 'till 9pm so I'm gonna have a smoke and then go to bed!

So now I'm able to take great pictures in London ^__^ It can even make panoramic pictures! Okay maybe that's nothing new for a phone nowadays, but it's pretty much my first camera phone so I'm still very very excited :p

Right now, I have a headache so I will take a pink pill, watch ER and then go to bed..

Yesterday we decided we wanted to go to London. Today I completed booking the entire trip :D We're going on August 20 for four days and we're staying at a Hilton hotel. Yay!

Incubus was amazing last Friday. I absolutely loved it ♥
Madelon's birthday party on Saturday was also nice. Kicked ass playing poker, oh yeah. I was quite hung over on Sunday, but at least I didn't black out on my bedroom floor while no one knew I was there (like last year) so I guess I'm doing better..

I'm going to the movies with my mother in about half an hour, but I'm so lazy I still have to get dressed.

Only three more days until we go to Berlin!! I really have to think of outfits..

I look like a frikkin stewardess.. My shirts are way too small (I'm gonna ask for a size up) and my pants are also tight. Does this mean I have to lose weight? Because everything fitted well in the try out session a few months back :\

Quiet day today. Last night I watched Casino Royale for the second time at Esther's place and spend the night there. Slept in until 12:30pm and had a nice 'breakfast'. Went home around 4 and pretty much haven't done anything. In a moment I'm gonna try on my new work outfit. I hope it looks okay, I'm afraid not because everyone says it's no good.

My mom and I booked our trip to Berlin. I'm so excited and can not waittt to go! I barely shop these days so I can spend insane amounts of money there. Only 19 days 'till we go..

I don't really have a lot to tell. It's like when I write in my paper journal I 'neglect' this one and vice versa.

Today I have a day off, which is lovely. I'm going to work on my room a little. I've been procrastinating way too long once again. Strange thing is I always get really excited about cleaning my room and thinking how pretty it will be, but I actually never actually do it. So let's see how far I'll get today..

Tonight I'm going to see Paris, je t'aime! in Tuschinski ^__^ I can not wait!
Yesterday I shopped a lot when I finished work, while I only wanted to buy hair dye, concert tickets and a dvd. I managed to get the hair dye, but other than that I ended up buying clothes, shoes and accessories only. It looks like my love for Hello Kitty has returned. It was sorta gone for a few years but I just can't resist all the cute stuff anymore ♥ I think I might continue shopping a bit before I go to see the film, there were so many more things I want (a)

rainroses @ 2007-01-06T23:58:00

2007-01-06T23:21:00Z

Yesterday I went to the 90's Now party in Hotel Arena. My friend Esther celebrated her birthday there. It was a lot of fun to dance to the Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls and other old school music. (happy hardcore ♥)

Today I bought Meatloaf, The Eagles and the Dirty Dancing soundtrack on vinyl for only 3 euros ^_^ I really need to get myself some turntables!

Tomorrow I have to work from 12am 'till 6pm, so no going out tonight. I'm a bit tired.. but I don't want to go to bed yet and I'm bored too. I'm either going to watch some more tv or do something usefull in my room.

2006-12-18T14:45:24Z

I decided not to go to QrimeTime anymore and put my ticket up for sale. The reason I'm not going is that there will only be one friend of mine. He's a cute guy and we always have fun but it's not like we're best friends and there will be more people he knows so I'm afraid I might end up 'alone'. That's definitely not what you want on new years eve. This also means I no longer have to buy a special outfit which is too bad because I had great ideas including fishnet stockings (a)

Instead I'm going to the Audio Bullys on December 26. Don Diablo will be there too, very nice to see/hear him once more before the end of this year.
New years eve will be spend at home with my mother, grandmother, sister and a friend. Later we will go into the neighbourhood to crash some parties :p I think it will be fun too, let's hope so.

2006-12-15T23:21:24Z

I want to go shopping. If I could I would go right now but since it's almost 12am and I'm still ill it seems pretty much impossible. Except for online shopping of course, but that's less fun in my opinion. At least without a creditcard it is ;)
Fortunately my salary will come in early this month, I think in about a week and I have quite some money 'left'. So whenever I can, I will go shopping and I'd like to buy:
- Christmas presents for my mother, Madelon, my father and his wife, my little sisters and some good friends
- an outfit for QrimeTime, the new years party
- a new cd rack
- Futuresex/Lovesounds from Justin Timberlake
- more vinyl records
- the Hugo Boss bag I put away at work (it has a 50% discount, I'm not that rich)
- shoes (boots, comfy yet pretty shoes and party shoes)
- a pair of jeans
- perfume
- Clinique skin care

So many things.. Oh well, we'll see, let's get better first.

Today I bought Angel the complete series in a box. I love it so much ♥ Finally I'm able to see the end! Not gonna pick up where I left though, I just watched 1x01 'cause I really want to get into it again.
And I received Tiga's cd Sexor in the mail today, I bought it on Marktplaats.nl. Great music, especially 3 Weeks ♥
I also bought red glittery shoes and huge gold earrings ^_^

So tomorrow is Qlimax, I can not wait! I bought a really cute top a little while ago that I'm going to wear but that's all I know about my outfit so far.. Only bad thing is that I have to go there by train. I think it will be fun traveling with friends (5 very nice guys :p) but the NS is working like on every railroad from Amsterdam 'till Arnhem :s That's gonna be great at 8am after the party haha.

First I'm going to see 'Casino Royale' with my mom tomorrow morning :)

Tuesday 29/08: Hardstyle party at Tumult in Abcoude where one of my friends went behind the wheels of steel which was awesome!
Thursday 31/08: (Minimal) Techno party at The Sugar Factory, good music and nice people :)
Friday 01/09: Funk it Up at Panama, guestlist places! Don Diablo was playing and he's just amazing. He plays great music, he's sooo hot and turns out to be very nice too!
Saturday 02/09: Carnival at Abcoude, we went to a small café and the party tent they have outside every year. It was good to see some people, others I'd rather never see but you always see everyone there. It was okay.

Today nothing. Lazy day. Tomorrow I have to work from 8am 'till 6pm in the store. Tuesday 'till Friday I have to work from 8am 'till 4pm at another location to prepare everything for the DDD. I like it, it's fun to see all the products we're going to sell before everyone else does. And the work itself is cool too, unpack, secure and sort things while listening to my iPod time flies by.

Home sweet home. I was not able to go out tonight, I couldn't even just go visit her. One moment I feel pretty much okay, just a heavy cold and then bam there's the fever and nausea.. It sucks. Hope it'll be better by tomorrow 'cause I have to work from 12pm 'till 6pm and in the evening I have a party to go to.

ER starts at 12:15am tonight.. why so late? :( I really want to see it but I also need to get some more sleep for tomorrow. Well I go finish my book (De Weduwnaar by Kluun) and wait 'till my mom gets home.

Okay I might have been a bit too optimistic.. but I did get some work done today. I unpacked my suitcase (yeah I still hadn't fully done that :$), put clothes into my laundry basket and wardrobe, threw away trash and old clothes and hung out my rug on the balcony.

No I'm definitely not finished, but here are some

Trust me that it was waaay worse earlier today. For example, there were clothes, plastic bags and receipts everywhere and two suitcases + a weekend bag that weren't unpacked yet..

Left to do asap:
- change bed sheets
- vacuum
- fold clothes
- organize make-up etc
- sort out everything on/around the desk
- put up line of leopard print on the wall
- and probably more..
