So I thought I would have more time to respond to e-mails, check my lj, update my facebook-status and keep my internet life kicking. Turns out that was a rookie mistake. Now I know that living together with 40 kids steals all your precious personal time and transforms it into playing games, making jokes or swinging in the garden. I'm having a lot ( Read more... )

So in general I'm enjoying myself. However I would like to ban two things out of this world: mosquitos and heath. They really get annoying. Little red spots all over my legs (itchy) and around noon I'm even melting in front of the airconditioning. I would like to live in a refrigerator... Good news is that I didn't scare my admirer-frog away, he ( Read more... )

I found a toad in my room this morning. He was sitting in a corner just watching me. Trust me when I say it's not the nicest thing to wake up to. After a few minutes of silently freaking out , I broomed him out of the room. I don't care if he was my prince charming in disguise, I just won't allow toads in my room.

So I'm allright. I arrived on ( Read more... )

And here I thought Kick-Ass would be the best movie based on a comic book ever. And then I saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Man, that movie is funny, smart, sassy, colourful and just very very cool. My oscar of 2010 goes to Scott Pilgrim! You might think I'm a little ahead of myself since 2010 has four months left but since I'll be staying in a ( Read more... )

I thought I'd share the good news with you: I bought season three of Veronica Mars! I'm currently rewatching the second season so I'll probably take the new ones with me to Peru. A little bit of Veronica-mystery in the jungle, sounds pretty good to me. I also purchased season 2 and 3 of Buffy The Vampire Slayer because they were really cheap. No ( Read more... )

It's awesome to hear your favorite songs being played live by your favorite artists. If it weren't for the music, I wouldn't go to festivals at all. Sleeping in a tent, eating overpriced food and being surrounded by too many people for a few days isn't really that appealing. But when bands like Blink 182 or Bad Religion show up on the line-up, I ( Read more... )

After six weeks of missing my laptop because of a hardware fault, I finally have it back! It's a relief not depending on the computer of my parents anymore. Now I just have to buy a netbook to take with me to Peru. I want some flashy color like red, even though I know black or white would be the sensible choice. My desire for fashion battling ( Read more... )

While all my friends are travelling to exotic and warm countries, I'm stuck in Bruges for two months. Work has been okay, mainly because the other girl I'm working with is pretty cool. She went to the same highschool as me and I knew her back then. At night I either meet up with friends or I'm working on my laptop. Already went to see two movies: ( Read more... )

I had an awesome festival day yesterday. I went to Rock Werchter with a friend and her sister who's dating a band member and their friends. (I know, I go up 10 points in your cool-o-meter right now). It was really hot, almost too hot to be standing for hours in a field surrounded by thousands of people watching a stage and having to clap your hands ( Read more... )

Again some very busy weeks lay behind me but now I'm back online. Since my last post I moved back to Belgium. At times it feels very weird to be so far away from my flat and my friends in Spain but I try not to ponder it for too long. My last weeks in Pontevedra were really cool. Me and my flatmates went exploring the countryside by car, the kids ( Read more... )
