Long time no see

So, I promised that things would be better after my final exams. Things definitely were better, but not concerning my blog. I have done a lot of things in the past few weeks. Went on a vacation with my friends, went to Pinkpop, STOOD FUCKING FRONT ROW DURING THE FOO FIGHTERS AT PINKPOP (yeah, good times), loads of parties, loads of alcohol, loads of bad food, saw Eels for the second time and one of the most important ones: I graduated. ;D I'll show you guys some pictures in another post.

Now on to the outfit of the day:





denim blouse: Levi's - top: H&M - jeans: Guess - shoes: Converse - tote bag: got it at Record Store Day (yay!)

And wow, my feet actually look small, which they're definitely not, I'm kind of like the Yeti's little sis.

Prommmmmmmmm

Yesterday evening was the night of my prom. :)

dress: River Island - shoes: Café Moda - clutch & ring: Primark

My hair.

My friends and me had the most awesome Volkswagen hippie van, that we hired for our entrance. :)

Well, the first week of my two-weeks-of-hell finally has come to an end. It was quite a week, and today I had to survive an economics exam. Probably got an 5 (out of 10), not a great result, but I'm happy with it (I'm not that good at economics and math and such).

Next week is going to be the hardest one: history (which is one of my favourites, no seriously), math, French, English and Latin. And after my Latin exam: FREEDOM. TOTAL FREEDOM. ;D

Also decided to pick up photography again, after my finals. I really miss it.

The last days of high school arrived

Yes, mateys! The upcoming two weeks will be the most important ones of the past few years: my final exams. Tomorrow my two, so called, weeks of hell will be kicked off by my Dutch exam.

Me, studying for my Dutch exam.

Previous Friday was our 'Laatste Schooldag' (our last official day of school), in the Netherlands it is usual that the 'seniors' organise all sorts of things inside the school. This year we filled our school's hallways with balloons (3000 of them, if you're curious), held karaoke-battles between the teachers and students and had a massive beach volleybal-game in our school canteen.

(I'm wearing a really cool '80s blazer I found on a flea market two weeks ago, it's really a love it or hate it-piece, but I love it! It's so colourful and it has heart-shaped golden buttons! ;D)

Do you want to the plage with me?

I am the worst blogger ever. I promise you guys, after my finals, things will be better. :)

Cupcakes in math style!

No joke! Because of pi-day (π-day) two weeks ago (on 3/14 ) my math teacher decided that we should celebrate it in class tomorrow. Tomorrow is her last day at school, because she's going to have a baby in a few weeks, so she's going on her maternity leave. And nerds as we are (ahum, I suck at math), we are going to bake things with pi on it. So I decided to bake some cupcakes! Hooray! :D They're chocolate chip with chocolate frosting on top of it, covered by some yellow marzipan with a pi-sign on it. :DD

I'm alive!

Yes, I'm still alive. Really. Nearly. School was killing for the past months, but not anymore. Because today I had my last test. EVER. EVER. EVER. MY LAST TEST EVERRRRRR. So now I hopefully have enough time to pick up on blogging again. Hooray!
So what happened lately?

1. I went to carnaval. We were dressed as a bunch of pirates! And I had a beard. Because I like beards. :)


2. I've made a balloon-dress, a present-bag and a necklace of (how do you call these in English? In Dutch they're called 'roltongen'). Anyhow, I've made these for my arts class. :)






3. I went to Lucky Fonz III in Utrecht. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. I'm sorry for my crappy face.


4. I bought tickets for Pinkpop (yay) and the Eels concert in Paradiso at the 27th July! I'm really happy that the Eels are going to tour trough Europe, AGAIN!

5. Last but not least: MY PARENTS GAVE ME A MACBOOK. HOORAY! (they got me one because I'm going to college in a few months) I'm so happy. No really. I am. Look, I'm so happy I have two heads now:


I'm sorry for the picture overload. But I'm so happy I could pee.

"Life is so full of unpredictable beauty and strange surprises. Sometimes that beauty is too much for me to handle. Do you know that feeling? When something is just too beautiful? When someone says something or writes something or plays something that moves you to the point of tears, maybe even changes you."
- Mark Oliver Everett

I just felt like sharing this. :)

This is such an incredibly sad song, but so beautiful.

Come on, baby blue

First, thank you for those sweet comments on my previous post. Makes me blush. :)

My life is pretty boring these days because it's all about tests and my major essay (which actually should've been finished days ago). BUT, to empty my head a bit, I went out for a petite shopping spree! Came home with a shirt, earrings and a bustier (in some way I love the look of bustiers, don't know when I should wear it, though, probably underneath a dress or something), with a total of only 16 euros. Yes, you read that right, 16 euros! Actually I was really tempted to buy a Zara dress and some really nice Zara shoes, but I had to think of my goal: spend less money, unless I need it. Did I need the dress and the shoes? No, I didn't. Sadly.

Oasis top €4 - Oasis earrings €2 - H&M bustier €10

I'm singing goodbye to the year before

So, today is the second day of a new year, new chances a fresh start. Since I haven't updated my blog for a week, I'll make a late 'trip down memory lane'-list. Because I like making lists and I like to think about what I've done in 2010. :)

Well, 2010 was quite a year for me. Loads of things changed, did awesome things and great things happened. In 2010:
- I lost 25 fucking kilos. Yes I did!

How I used to look and how I look now (together with Shantel, yeah!)

- I climbed the Eiffel Tower (and not lazy-like by taking the elevator!)
- I saw Eels play in Tivoli
- I turned 18
- I catched a Snow Patrol plectrum and setlist at their concert
- I went to Disneyland Paris for the fourth time
- I realized that falafel is GREAT
- I went to Rock Werchter

Tried to make a moustache with my hair, but failed

- I bought the Smashing Pumpkins on vinyl for €1,50 at a flea market and found out that it's almost worth $300 dollars on the internet
- I saw Dalì's version of the Venus of Milo in real life (Dalì is one of my favourite artists)
- I saw Dave Grohl (I'm a huuuuuuge Nirvana fan, so the moment I saw Dave Grohl on stage is now very precious to me ;) )
- I really learned the 'art' of budget-shopping
- I went to crazy parties and threw one myself

NYE-party with friends

- I was able to really enjoy swimming in public for the first time (because I'm now more confident about my body)
- I discovered the art of 'dance improvisation', in other words: dance like a lunatic with your friends in public places, haha!
- I had the best conversations of my life
- I met the strangest people ever (for example; a man in a Borat bathing suit, do I need to say more?)
- I met the coolest people ever
- I learned to walk 11cm heels

I hope that 2011 will even be better than 2010 was. I can say now that in 2011:
- I want to get my driver's license
- I hope I'll pass my final exams
- I want to lose an other 5 kilos
- I hope that Eels is coming to Holland again (they just announced a 2011 tour!)
- I'm going to university to study law
- I'm going to try to save more money and don't spend it like my bankaccount is an eternal source of money, because sadly it is not :(
- I want to go on vacation with my best friends

Happy new year everybody and I hope you've had a great NYE (I did)! :D
