100 Questions Tag

Heyhey!  So, I decided I didn't feel like doing homework and learning yet, so here's a new post! I honestly didn't know what to write today, so I just googled some tags and I just picked one that looked fun to do, so here is the 100 questions tag. (I don't know who made this tag, but just so you know, it wasn't me...) Let's begin! BONUS JONAS QUESTION: something that happened to you in middle school. Well, there is no 'Middle School in the Netherlands, so I can't really answer that question... 1:Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed? My closet has slide doors and when I'm in bed, I look at the side of my closet, so I can't see if they are open or not. So, sometimes they are open and sometimes not. I never really bother to look. 2:Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel? I think I would do that, if I woul...

Pets

Hey guys! At some point this week I realised how blessed I am by having a pet. I have a dog, named Koen, and he always seems to cheer me up or make me less stressful. I don't know how pets do it, but petting them or even walking them makes my mind clear and makes me happy. I'm not going to lie to you, sometimes I regret having a dog for a split second, like when Koen just keeps barking or when I have to walk him, but it rains really hard or it is freezing cold, or that rare occasion that we have an accident and I end up having a wound. But then I remember how much I love my dog and how many times he makes me happy and that regret disappears right away. For the ones of you who wonder what kind of dog I have, I have a Beauceron, or French Shepherd. My dog is a sweetheart, but he can be pretty stubborn, which means he can be very determined to get what he wants. And we might have spoiled him a lot, which means he prefers to have a little bit of milk in his water and he doesn...

Blind Date With a Book

Hey, Again, I'm sorry for not posting. I guess I just keep forgetting to post and if I do remember, I have no inspiration. But now I know what I want to write about, so here we go. I went to Amsterdam yesterday. With school, don't worry, I didn't take any wild spontaneous road trips. But yeah, Amsterdam. We went to visit the Palace on the Dam with the Latin/Greek section of our school (a total of 5 students). In the palace there are a lot of artworks about Greek/Roman stories, so it was interesting for us. I want to talk about the free time we had after visiting the palace though. Because I used that time to visit Waterstones and the American Book Centre. At Waterstones I finally got a copy of 'All I Know Now' by Carrie Hope Fletcher (and I am extremely happy because of that), but at the American Book Centre I stumbled upon something that blew my mind! Of course I had heard about the concept of 'A Blind Date With a Book' before, but I never saw it ...

I am a Cath

Hey everyone, First of all, I guess I should apologize for not uploading for so long. My life has been very busy and whenever I tried to start a post, I couldn't finish it somehow. I'm very sorry, but  here I am now! So, about a week ago I read this book called 'Fangirl'. The book is written by Rainbow Rowell and I could really relate to it. The book is about a girl called Cath, she and her twin sister Wren go to college for the first time and while Cath just wants to sit in her room and write fanfiction, Wren wants to go out and 'have fun'. Now you may wonder why I want to talk about this. Well, while reading the book I just kept comparing Cath with myself (and Wren with my stepsister). I mean, when I'm not at school or at work I am probably at home, reading or watching films (probably Disney).  I even write sometimes to (like I am now), but I never really write stories. And I sometimes feel like all my stepsister does is go out (which of course isn...

17

Hey guys, GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?! So, grab the cake, light the candles, warm up your voices, because it is time to PARTY! Okay, let's be real here, the party isn't going to be very wild... I mean, the main visitors are my grandparents. But yeah, a birthday means preparation, so yesterday I baked a cake (or well baked... it is a chocolate mousse pie, so there wasn't that much baking involved). Still, a lot went wrong, so I probably looked like this: Oh well, at least there is cake now! But yeah, I'm very excited!! I mean, I know what most of my presents will be, but still! There just is something magical about birthdays, don't you think? Toodle pip!!

Hello March

Happy first day of March! Finally! One of my favourite months has arrived! And I do not only love this month because my birthday is in March. No I love this month because spring begins in this month! I can already sense the first signs of spring! The days are getting longer, birds start chirping songs to wake you up again and the flowers start growing. Today, I noticed these cute purple flowers that grow every March and to me, they indicate the beginning of spring and the ending of winter. And boy, am I glad that it will take at least 9 months before we will get another one. I can't wait to see all the animals getting babies again, I mean who can resist baby sheep right? And oh in May there will be baby birds! And all the cute flowers that will bloom again, EEEEEK! I love it! And, of course, my birthday is in two weeks. Although I am excited for my birthday, I don't look forward to getting older. Because getting 17 means that I will have to pay bills in just one year!...

The film industry keeps ruining books

A few days ago I saw a movie poster for 'Boy 7'. This originally is a Dutch book, but it has been translated into many languages, including English. Now it has also been made into a movie. The movie is in Dutch, so if you don't speak this language you might not be able to see the film. Lucky you! I decided to watch the trailer later that night, and by this time I was extremely excited. Boy 7 is one of my favourite books - dare I say my favourite book. So can you imagine my excitement? Well that was shattered the second the trailer started. Nothing in the trailer happened in the book or is just plain wrong. The main storyline is probably the same, but all the details are wrong and that infuriates me! When the trailer ended I was so mad that I felt like throwing the hard cover version of boy 7 in the director's face and scream 'READ THE BOOK' and then storming away. And now every time I see the trailer on TV I want to throw the book at the TV. This book is m...
