Cry cry bummer

Today i found out something stupid. Didn't ruin my day though, but it could when i was in a bad mood.
So i went shopping with my mum in Rotterdam and visited the departement store Bijenkorf.

Last week i bought a necklace @ Swarovski over there and what did i see?! They started a kind of extra sale where they've lowered prices of random items again............. LIKE MY NECKLACE. 

Of course. 40€ extra off. NO NO NO.

Worst part of it, i thought of returning the item & buying it again for the new price. But of course not, suddenly they don't return sale-items. And the girl at the counter was like 'hihiihh too bad, we didn't know there was going to be an extra sale'.
Well f*ck off Bijenkorf with giving me this crappy talk.

But allright as i said, it didn't ruin my day. Still got my necklace on sale, even though i could've saved another 40€.

Freezin cold

Almost February and of course today...... it started snowing! Damn give me Spring, you had the chance in December. Planning to stay inside tomorrow & going to see James Franco's movie Francophrenia at 6PM.

Awesome director is awesome

The whole audience waited for his speech before the IFFR film
'Le Havre' started. There he stood, watching the ground, stumbling some phrases as if he doesn't speak English at all. Everyone instantly loved the Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki.

His speech:
Thanks to my daughter....which i never had....Thanks to my grandma....for being born..... I'll do my best, but that's not much. But it's more than someone else's best....

Frozen alive

Today i worked at Rotterdam Central Station to help people finding the locations of International Film Festival.
Five hours outside in the rain, damnnnn. But besides the conditions it felt good to work for the festival again for a day.

IFFR 2012 started!

Today the International Film Festival Rotterdam started and i got all my tickets. Four movies this time (sure i wanna see more), because i'm not a millionaire [yet].

Woohoo once again, excited for this awesome festival!

7:24 bus to station - 7:46 train to Rotterdam - 8:00 waiting in line for IFFR tickets - 9:00 box office opened - 9:15 finally inside - 9:45 next in line - 10:00 buying tickets - 10:30 school

#allermooistefeestje

#allermooistefeestje is trending on Twitter today for this new song

Went last Friday to a gig of my current obsession; Mr. Polska.
And to make it even more complete, he showed up with his whole group Nouveau Riche. The crowd was kinda lame, other location would help but in the end I WAS THERE.
Freakshows unite, i'm satisfied for now. Oh and, their producer Boaz deserves real pride for his beats.

Sale started!

Bought this warm coat at H&M, already had a wintercoat but the sale started so i had to have this one hehe. Now i have to save some money for the coming time. 

New: Pull & Bear Rotterdam

Went to the opening of world's largest Pull & Bear store in Rotterdam this evening. To be honest it isn't a mind-blowing huge store, but the clothes are pretty nice.
There were nice musicians, interesting cocktails (lavender-wodka), skateboard painting artists & a cool shopper as bonus.

Wanted to buy a bag i saw on the website of Pull & Bear, but haven't found it.... so i bought these shirts ;)

First day of school

School started again! My last year. Wasn't dressed up in new clothing like 80% of them do, but every year i still feel the same awkwardness.
Today was kinda horrid. After 10 weeks of freedom my mind was definitely not set to a full day of school. End of the morning i started to get tired, bored, hungry, sleepy, etcetera.

Troubles with keeping my eyes open.... The lights were just so strong...How can all those people act so energetic and happy.
All i was thinking was I JUST WANNA GO HOME RIGHT NOW, SO STOP TALKING MAN.

It was a long but great night

Today is your birthday

Thanks Facebook for mentioning that! Lol i just turned 20 today, my kinda birthdayparty was last Friday in Euromastpark Rotterdam, had a great time.

Craving for more....

Bye for now

I feel awkward. My last day at work is tomorrow. Leaving the people i like so much. Like i'm closing a chapter in a book. Not voluntarily so someone else is closing it instantly. No choice.
Maybe it's good or just the start of one job-hopping career.
Sure i can meet them but nothing will be the same. Advantage is that a lot of people are moving now. I'm not leaving a business where everything will stay the same. I jump out of a tornado. Everything's gonna change in there. Good luck for the guys who are staying.

I'm gonna miss you

IFFR feeling comes back a little

With helping the guys from "A Little Closer" by explaining the use of the video they found. IFFR hurray!

Wowww pinball queen!

Yeahh i had an incredibly busy week with school, coming week will be busy also...
Thursday everything was closed so i met up with a friend from school to finish some school stuff, Friday i went to the printing office to get the Euromast magazines as final product + went shopping, Saturday i went to Rotterdam with my mum to shop some summer clothing and interrail stuff...
Monday most of the schoolwork has to be finished. Wish me luck.

Playing games instead of homework isn't a good idea, but you'll have to admit; i'm pretty good! lol

Okay weirdest week of 2011

Yesterday i was going to interview the restaurant manager of the Euromast (185m high tower) in Rotterdam, when we suddenly saw a lot of police men and  we heard someone just jumped off the Euromast... terrible idea.

Here some happy music a Filipino classmate was singing yesterday. LIKE ALL DAY LONG.

Might give the week some positive vibe:

Yukimi rules

Yesterday i attended Little Dragon's concert @ Lantaren/Venster Rotterdam with Nancy. It was a chill evening: cool band + nice music + chill audience.
And the Swedish-Japanese lead singer Yukimi Nagano is just SO awesome.

Queen's Day

Not my pics, but it's to show some impressions of Queen's Day in The Netherlands.
It's a national holiday (always on April 30th) to celebrate the birthday of the queen. There are flea markets in almost every city, music events, open-air parties  & most people dress up in orange.

My Q-Day was in Rotterdam with some friends at the open-air party there. Although there were the craziest & cheapest-looking people around it was nice, sunny and very crowded & i met up with a good friend of mine i hadn't seen for a while :)

Sunny cycle

Yesterday and today we cycled around in Rotterdam, all together more than 40 kms! Hooray! 

3:40 AM - time for some healthy food

And the delivery guy CAME! In the middle of the night! 

Unfortunately it took him almost an hour to bring chicken wings and kapsalon but wowww. 

Allright i got his stare like 'wth you crazeh, do you know what time it is o_O' but he seemed happy that i was actually going to pay & his travel wasn't just a lame prank made up by some drunk people.

Next year i wanna run too

& my sister and father will join!
