Hey babes and dudes, I had to share this awesome festival with you! I'm attending this festival this Saturday and I'm sooo excited about it. It starts at 10 o'clock with sports and clinics (like surfing, SUPPING, indoboarding, slacklining, fitness, skating, etc.) till 18 o'clock. The whole day you can listen to nice bands and DJ's, because they will be there till 3 am in the morning. One of the bands that will be there is Splendid. A band that makes really chill music that just makes you feel happy! I think you guys can understand now why I'm so excited and can't wait till it's Saturday. Let's just hope the weather will be nice too!
Hee chicks en dudes, ik moet dit geweldig leuke festival wel met jullie delen! Ik ga er zaterdag heen en ik ben superenthousiast! Het begint om 10:00 uur met allemaal sporten en clinics (surfen, SUPPEN, indoboarden, slacklinen, fitness, skaten, etc.) tot 18:00 uur en de hele dag zijn er leuke bandjes en DJ's (tot 03:00 uur in de avond), waaronder Splendid (een bandje die superchille muziek maakt waar je vanzelf vrolijk van wordt)! Jullie begrijpen dan denk ik ook wel waarom ik zo enthousiast ben. Nu maar hopen dat het weer een beetje meezit! Ben jij ook enthousiast geworden? Koop je tickets HIER.
Since I'm not a star in making decisions, I'm having trouble choosing between two beds, the same design but thee have a different look because the one is in fabric and the other has a leatherlook. I like them both. The fabric variant gives a more cosy look, while the leather one gives a more luxourious feeling. What to do? Maybe I will figure it out or maybe you can help me choose! What do you think?
Love
Omdat ik geen ster ben in keuzes maken, heb ik het nu ook weer moeilijk om te kiezen tussen twee bedden. Ze hebben hetzelfde design, maar een andere look, omdat de ene van stof is en de ander van kunstleer is. Ik vind ze allebei erg leuk. De stoffen variant ziet er gezelliger en huiselijker uit en de variant van kunstleer heeft weer een meer luxe uitstraling. Wat te doen? Dilemma! Misschien kom ik er nog wel uit of misschien kun jij mij helpen kiezen! Wat denk jij?

Last Saturday I celebrated Sinterklaas with my family. We bought each other presents and we had a great night eating & talking together and unpacking our presents. This is what I got:
1. A hair turban to put my hair in when I've washed it. I haven't tried it yet, but it must be really nice for keeping all of my hair together to dry.
2. Three nail polishes inside off a christmas ball you can hang in a christmas tree. It contains a red, silver and gold glitter nail polish.
3. A clutch! I really wanted a new clutch and now I've gotten a really nice one from Sinterklaas!
I'm not totally sure, but I think my presents are from the Primark. I'm happy with the things I got from Sinterklaas. What did you guys get?
So, in a couple of hours I'm flying back to Málaga!! Me and my boyfriend have been together for one year and he's taking me to Málaga as a surprise. I didn't expected anything at all, so I was really surprised when I saw my bed with rose petals on there in a heart shape and two envelopes next to the heart. In the first evelope was a loving letter and in the second envelope I found the travel documents and the plane tickets! I can't wait to be back in Málaga. I'm going to show my boyfriend everything, I'll be his personal tourguide! I selected some nice pictures from beautifull Málaga for you to enjoy!
Yesterday I went to Amsterdam to meet my friends I know from the time I lived in Málaga, Spain. A Japanese friend was here for a few days, so she wanted to meet with all of her Dutch friends. It was really nice to meet them all again! We showed her some nice and funny places in Amsterdam (like the canals, Dam square and the red light district) and we let her taste a few tipical Dutch products (Dutch Herring with onions, cheese, Heineken and 'bitterballen'). She liked everything! She also gave us something to taste from her own country: green Japanese KitKat. Unfortunately I couldn't taste the KitKat yet, because it probably contains lactose, but I will try next week when my lactose-free period is finally over! It looks like this:
It was a really nice day and we had lots of fun in Amsterdam. It felt like old times again and we should meet more often!
I got some bad grades for assignments and it made me questioning about my life. I worked really hard on these assignments and the bad grades make me feel pretty sad (while I'm a really positive and happy person most of the times) and thinking about my study. Is university really for me? Does psychology fit my character? Or should I study Spanish?
You are who you choose to be.
It's hard to make decisions and to know what you really want out of life. I want to be happy. but what makes me happy? What do I want out of life? What is the study for me? I need to think about all off that. And make some decisions.
I quit the dull job, because I got a new one! Last week on friday I had a job interview for a job at an ice cream parlour (Talamini). It went really well and now I'm scooping ice cream! I've worked there two days now and I really like it. The people I've worked with so far are nice, it involves variation, helping custumors (something I like) and you can take some ice cream home after working! :)
I'm still learning how to make a good espresso, late machiatto etc. (work in progress, haha), but that will come! Talamini makes the ice cream itself and the ice cream is completely natural. It tastes really good and there are a lot of flavours you can choose from: cheesecake, lemon pie, apple pie, amarena, pear, lemon, raspberry, mango, banana, strawberry, vanilla, (white) chocolate, málaga, yoghurt limoncello, pistachio, panna cotta, dolce di latta, caramel, cookies, after eight, amaretto, tiramisù, walnut, hazelnut and more... :)
And Sunday...new workday!
Some other nice news:
I've booked a holiday with my friends. We're going to Málaga! I'm so excited, because I have lived there for 4 and a half months with one of my friends! It's going to be so much fun, because we know all the nice places to be (will be so much fun to be there again) and there are lots of stuff to do there! And...there's sun&beach!
I'm playing lots of tennis! When I was in Spain I didn't play any tennis at all. Actually, I barely did anything that looked like exercising at all (well, if you include dancing it's not that bad, haha, because I did thát a lot)! So, now I'm back into business! And the spring competition is beginning soon, so I will have to be at my tennis-best on the 9th of april!
Tomorrow I'm going to go to my uncle and aunt in Herkingen, Zeeland, Netherlands. It's really nice there. We're going there for my uncle's birthday. He is a sheep farmer and a lot of lambs have been born, so we can look at the little fuzzy and soft creatures all day long if we want to! And everytime we are there it's relaxing. You're at a farm with nice surroundings and with your family: i'm looking forward to tomorrow!
I'm sooo tired these last days. I've got a new job as an employee in a warehouse for a clothingbrand. It's from 8 to 5 from monday till thursday, and on friday till 3. The work is pretty dull and lots off the same and it are long days, so you can imagine it's quite exhausting. Maybe it get's better next week, maybe I have to get used to it, maybe it will be less exhausting. I hope so. I'm going to find out, but the good thing is i'm finally earning some money again! Yesyesyes, holidays&clothes and other amazing things.....here I come! And for now -lucky me- it's WEEKEND!
I want to make a diary out off my blog. To write down my thoughts from the day. I used to write them down on paper, but not anymore since i'm still writing about me and my family roadtripping West-USA. It took to much time to do it the way i wanted it to be and then... Then I went to Málaga, Spain for 4 1/2 months to learn the language and to get to know the real Spanish life. I didn't bring my diary because I already had to much weight. And so I had to wait till I got back home to finish the story about our -btw- AMAZING(!) roadtrip. But when I got back I got a little bit lazy and It's taking some time to finish it the way i want it to be. But i'm eager to finish it and till then, i'm going to use my blog to write down just everything that i want to!
