A little present

When I got home from graduation there was a little present waiting for me...

A few days earlier my sister and I got a tip to read the book: The year of living biblically.

The guy who gave us this tip said it was a must-read and if you had nothing to read for this summer you've GOT to read it.

I was searching for a book to read this summer, because I don't read that much and I wanted to prepare myself for college (university).

Well, I think you can guess what the present is now...it was the book and with it there was such a funny card and I actually posted this blog to show you this funny card because I laughed my pants off!
The card is also very appropriate with the book. The only difference is that the card didn't have any words on it, but even with the words it's funny...

Ok enough talking let's show the card:

( I don't know why I always have to give the entire history of this card, I'm so sorry!!)

Sundrenched

Past week was very sundrenched and fortunately I only had to work one day so the rest of the week I could enjoy the lovely sunny weather!
I went to the park twice, first with my sisters and niece and the second time with the whole family and some friends. The second time there was live music which was great because mostly it was latin or jazz and I love it!
This week the weather is expected to be the same and I'm throwing a bonfire graduation party, but now I'm of to my friends's graduation party which include fashion, bbq and hopefully a little soccer (world cup, you see!)

So let's show some sunny pictures!

GRADUATED

YAAAAY I'm graduated!! WHOEHEO I'm sooo happy, after all the hard/robotic/braindeadning work and learning I've got graduated!!

So here some graduation photo's to celebrate

The I heart revelution

Woooow, it has been almost a week since I've seen this film and I'm still touched en moved by it.
I can explain it but I think it's a must see for eveyone!! Since I've seen it I'm thinking about ways to fulfill the needs in this world and I've come to the conclution that I have to start small.

Just do thing I can do and not trying to do eveything because that's impossible.

How i'm going to do that?
Well, I think I'm going to start being involved with Justice Generation, an organisation who helps elder people and kids who have a mental handicap once a month.
I also hope that my study is going to have a greater purpose than only a interesting study. With cultural antropology I hope to be able  to help people in any kind of way. So now I'm even more excited to start with it!! Let's hope and pray for the best!!

Hipsters

A while ago I was really into cute unknown but mostly known (indie) bands/ analogue photography/ riped shirts with bandprints combined with short ripped jeans and boots etc....
I thought, as naive as I am, I was one of the few people who were like this. This was quickly over when I went to a (sort of) festival with bands I LOVED and I saw everyone beying like me or beying who I liked to be....at first I thought, wooow cool but then I got really anoyed by everyone beying everyhting I thought was unique but wasn't unique anymore, because everyone was like that.

Then I found out there was a name for that kind of people, they are called hipsters. When I heared that I immediately got a sort of aversion to it, the name only reminded me of underwear...
But then I found out people liked to call themselfs hipsters and tried to be it with every possible aspect of being it, listening to music 'hipsters' listen to, wearing clothes that 'hipsters' wear, like art that 'hipsters' like, basically live like they think  hipsters live...

I don't know about you, but why in the world would you do that??? WHY?
Isn't it much more fun to just be yourself , which ofcourse can include a few things that 'hipsters' like, but besides that have your own unique thing, something that characterizes you?!
And don't get me wrong, I do like a lot of things that hipsters like, but I just don't understand why people want to be a part of something that's all the same, why do you want to be a part of a 'group' with the same kind of people.
If someone can explain that to me please do! But for now I don't understand a heck of it!

Lots of love
(also for the hipsters ofcourse)

Voici Paris

A few days ago I went to a museum with a lot of haute couture, old/new/clasic/modern/dutch couture. I loved almost everything I saw and wanted to share it with you...

Hello there

Hello there,
I'm awake again, the past month I felt like a robot but slowly I'm feeling like a  human again!
But during my exams I haven't sat still (except for the moment I had to learn ofcourse) I've been to the lovely Angus & Julia Stone, Justin Nozuka, Noah and the whale, had a delighted evening at the beach and so on...

This is the time I have to reload myself again with fashion, photography, art and music so I can be a fully humanbeing again! I want to post more thinks to inspire myself and you (the two or three persons who are reading this). Let's start with a few pictures of my activities the past month....hahah I don't know if that's inspirating/inspireable/??? but heck to that!

ENJOY
