Perfect weekends and early schooldays

Okay...

It seems I've got a little more then 5000 hits in a year time!
So... I think I can call that a personal succes.
It makes me really happy that so many people read my blogs...
I never expected such a turnout...
When I started my that told me very few people would visit a blog...
And indeed very few people visitted HIS blog.
Mine is a lot mor popular then his apparently.

I'd say that calls for a celebration... but I celebrated already this weekend.
Last week it was my 20th birthday and my family stopped by. And my boyfriend!
Thank you so much Jamie!!!! I truly had a great weekend.

I'm gonna call it quits 'cause I have to start really early tomorrow. School at 7.20 a.m. TOO SOON!!!

Bye!!

A time for new stories

November 14th. Dark clouds were gathering over London city. A big storm was coming up, probably the worst they'd seen in years, and on the news woman was warning everyone to stay in.

Jamie turned off the TV and walked to the window. Miki jumped up from the pillow she was lying on and took the spot next to his feet. "No good news tonight, girl." he said to the little black-and-grey cat as he scratched her head.
It was 4 p.m., the sky was pitch dark and the rain was attacking every single lost soul that dared to come out on the streets. Luckily for Jamie, he was safely inside.
“I’m going to the Prezzo. What do you think?” The cat looked at him as if she understood what he was saying and angled her head. “Yes, I know, it’s crazy to go outside, but it’s boring up here.”

Somewhere down the block, Nina was less lucky. Her car broke down somewhere on Down Street and due to the weather none of the mechanic wanted to take the risk of coming outside.
And since she was new in town she had no-one to call for help. “Lucky me. It’s my birthday!” she thought frustrated. So she closed off the car an started to walk. She really needed to get inside so she stopped at the cafeteria on the corner of the street.

When Jamie entered the Prezzo it was more crowded than ever. The only place left was at a small table on the other side of the room. There was a girl sitting across the table he’d never seen before. “Hello, I’m Jamie. Do you mind if I join you?”

She watched him for a moment before she smiled. “Not at all. I’m Nina.”

+ + + + +

I'm trying something new. I'm trying to write a new story.
I started to write one 8 years ago, but since I'm no little kid anymore and my style has changed tremendously, I decided to start over instead of trying to change a story I'll probably never be able to change into what it should be.

What I've put on top of this blog entry is the very beginning of the story. And the thing is... I'd really like your opinions. It should be a mix up between a romantic story an a detective eventually.

So tell me if I should go on, if I should change things, anything.
If you have ideas that could help me for the rest of the story... those are welcome too.

Also... I'm looking for a titel...

Olive you people.

trial (and error?): a video blog

hey guys...

doing it totally different this thime. Like 'turning it 360° around'-different...
I wasn't going to post this video... but Mia convinced me it was funny and I should put it on my blog. So here it is.

Go ahead. Laugh all you want. Personally I think the pillow scene is quite embarassing... can't help it... the right words abandonned me...

Have fun!
(no I couldn't pick another cover for the video... I know it's... weird...)
please leave a comment on whether I should keep posting a video blog once in a while or not!!!

Sophia Bush

First of all... I'm so sorry (again). It took longer then I expected...But better late than never...

Sophia Bush...
Who is she? What does she? Where is she from? Why do I love her so much?
You'll find out if you read along with me.

I actually did some research this time... so I hope you all appreciate it.


Sophia Anne Bush. Born on July 8th, 1982, Pasadena, California.
She's mostly known for her appearance as Brooke Penelope Davis in One Tree Hill.

“The purest thing in the world is a child's happiness, and to work with an organization that gives that back to children who have lost it means more than words can say.”
- S

I just love the way she's with children. I truly believe she's just like Brooke in the last couple of seasons in One Tree Hill. She's kind, funny, lovable, ...

“Africa is one of the most incredible continents in the world, and one that I have studied since I was a child. The thought of my children not knowing Africa as it is, but having to hear about it as it once was, is not a thought I can bear. The MWCF is preserving not only a region, but a culture, a way of life, and an ecosystem that we cannot afford to lose.”
- S

Also animals are important to her. She recently bought another dog. She went to look for Patch at the animal pound. So sweet.
She's also against bullying animals. (Now what good person isn't?) But you can read about 'case Lennox' here. He's on death row (speaking figurative). It seems they going to put him down on the 21th if nothing happens.

Something different maybe...
Sophia won the 'DoSomething'-award... Just guessing that alle the good stuff she does actually gets rewarded. You can watch her reaction when you click the link. She had some tough competition but it seem her fans, her 'little voices' are as strong and numerous as Sophia herself.

She's also a missive support for gay, lesbian and bisexual people... If it wasn't for her, my best friend Mia would've never come out of the closet. Mia's mother and some of  her family members would still be in the dark about who she really is. Mia is her so greatfull. And personally I thing Sophia couldn't do a better job. She's truly amazing how she's taking up for all of us, straight-laced or not.

And then you have.... "#Love is Louder" and "to write love on her arms".
Those two organisations are the most special to me.
You've probably already seen the tab 'Love is Louder' on this blog, so that means I'm already part of that. I'm not going to say much about both of these, because, even though I'm good with words, my words wouldn't tell you enough about how great they are and how important they are. Even how much they mean to me... putting that in words... Not even the bare basics would be acknowledged.
So I'm just going to show you.

This is the site of #Love is Louder: http://www.loveislouder.com/
And here are the video's you should watch: http://www.loveislouder.com/video.html
(they only take a minute or so.)

This is the site of 'To Write Love On Her Arms': http://www.twloha.com/
And if ther's only one video you really realy REALLY have to watch... it's this one:
 (yes, it's a bit to wide...but I don't know much about html, so I can't change it...)

Sophia Bush on WhoSay

So all together... she's my number one favourite star (she shares that first place with Alecia Moore, better known as P!nk, and Sarah Bettens, lead singer of K's Choice).
They're on that first place just for being who they are and the message they send to the people.

------

To finish up I'd like to thank Mia, a lot, for her help with this blog entry. This entry wouldn't be what it is, if it wasn't for her.
------

So... olive you guys!
And leave a message with your opinion!!!!!

So sorry

hey guys,

I know I promissed you a Sophia Bush edition this weekend...
But due to not enough time and to much stuff I want to put in this blog I won't get it ready tonight.

Don't worry. I'm still gonna put it online... it just will take some days extra.
I really hope you guys don't mind...

Olive you!!!

big announcement

Hye people!!!

it's going be a really really short  one today...
Just announcing my big special edition...
This weekend I'm putting someone very special in the spotlights...
SOPHIA BUSH!!!

Why, how, what and when... you'll gonna read it all in my next blog.
Olive you all!!!

missing someone

Hya people,

here we go again!
Great news for me: the exams were a blast!
Starting in my second year without any consequences!!! yay.
I've put a lot of blood, sweat and tears in the studying but it paid off!
So quite frankly I can say: I'm happy. (cough - understatement - cough)

And now... full time boyfriend-time.
24 days now...
Jamie... He's pretty sweet. He's mine.

The only sad thing is the fact I haven't seem him since were together, actually...haven't seen him since the end of June... Even worse.
The problem: he's working, I had my exams, and I was going to see him somewhere in the past two weeks... but the little hope I had for this weekend just faded away.
Bad karma I guess. (don't know what I did wrong, but hey, karma's roads are unfathomable.
The distance isn't helping either... 125 kilometres isn't exactly close-by.
An hour and 20 minutes by car, almost three hours when I'd take the bus and the train (and another bus).

Long-distance relationships...
not so bad actually... you see each-other once in a while... but it gets harder when you don't see each-other at all...

I believe I'm getting depressed by the idea...
I'm going to finish with a really suitable song to my opinion.
Avril Lavigne with 'wish you were here.

Olive you guys!!

summer break, alter ego's, drawings and a shout out

Okay...

I guess I've been out of the running for a while now...
I know I promised some new stuff at the beginning of the summer break... but there hasn't been a real break...
I haven't been able to do anything but studying for like the past two... no three months...
probably even longer.
You already guessed what's going on?
Yes!! I have to re-take some of my exams... Smarty pants.

I tried to find out how many people actually are suffering with me... but internet failed me...

- Boohoo you internet! I thought we were friends! But no!!! You are a first class backstabbing bitch that bails out on you when you need some serious answers... -

sorry guys, my sincere apologies.
My bitchy alter ego came popping up for a sec. I really tried to contain her (- uh, so not!)
but she got the upper hand

So... I didn't got any numbers

- told you, it's a backstabbing bitch! - 

keep quiet!
Okay, back to business...
But the are many of us... So I'd say 'good luck to everyone'.

Also... I've got a couple of new drawings... and  I'm going to try to post them tomorrow.

- Promised? -

No, I'm not promising anything! I said "I'm going to try". Get it? Now get the hell out of here!

Sorry guys, again, she seems quite persistent.

So like I said, I'm going to try to put them online tomorrow. Please don't shoot me if I don't succeed.

And to finish up... something different for once... a shout out. 

This time I just like to mention a couple of people.

I'm really greatful just for knowing them... 

and with this opportunity I'd just like to telle them I miss them.

My girls, Mia and Brooke, my boys: Wade and Jake, and a special one for Jamie.

So that's going to be it for today...
I'm not going to wait as long as I did now to post another blog, and that's something I do promise, so... see you soon!!!!

Jamie, sunset and the ice cream doggy

Hya people.

I believe it's time to give you a bit of an update on how things went so far.
With Jamie (the boy I talked about in my last blog) and everything went perfect.
I guess all the freaking out wasn't necessary. Not even a little bit.
The weekend he came over was just great. He got to know one of my best friends (a.k.a. Mia),
He took me for a walk on the beach and we ended up enjoying the sunset together.

When we went for an ice cream there was this dog...
Quite like the one on the picture, but bigger.
He tried to lick me all over. He started to sniff Jamie's shoes, but then switched to licking my toes. His boss took him back under the table but he came back. This time licking my ankle. I pushed him back... but like most boys (:p) he tried a third time. He went directly licking above my knee and if his boss hadn't pulled him off of me I bet he'd gone up even more.
Crazy doggy!!

Back to Jamie...
So it was a really nice weekend. Three p.m. came way too soon to me.
He actually got under my skin and now I'm afraid of what would happen if this ends up blowing up in my face... I don't think I"d be able to keep myself together any longer.
(FYI. No we're not a couple (yet?).)

Let's say I had the best time with him.

So I guess I got you guys a bit up to date after a long period of silence.
By the way... if there are any topics you'd like me to write about... just put them in a comment. I'll do whatever I can to make sure I reach up to your expectations.

Olive you all.

PS.
To Jamie, with love:
you're great and don't ever doubt yourself,
because you're perfect just the way you are, in every single way.

How fucked up someone can be

How do you know if you are really in love with someone or if you’re only in love with the idea of the relationship it could be? Can you actually be in love, truly in love with someone you’ve never even met for real?

It’s been 2 years, 3 months and 24 days since my last relationship ended…
Three days more since the last hug or kiss in a boyfriend-girlfriend kind of way.
That’s 72.835.200 seconds since the last time.
(I could tell you how many minutes or hours that are as well, but that would become quite boring.)
That’s a very long time… and my body is telling me it’s too long.

But instead of helping me, my body makes me jump on every little maybe someone gives me. Even just being friendly makes me going all over the top.

And now there’s this someone I’ve met online. We’ve been chatting for months now, even with webcams and everything. He’s telling me he’s in love with me and I definitely feel something, but I don’t know what. Am I in love with him? Am I in love with the feeling he gives me? Am I only in love with the idea of not being single anymore? Or is it just my mind that’s playing freaking tricks on me? 

What do you know about me? Do you know what my favourite colour is? What kind of food I like? If I like sports? Which sports? What kind of personality do I have? What kind of studies I’m doing? Do you know I’ve spent my past in hospitals every so often or why it was like that? 

Same goes in the other direction. I really don’t know that much about you. I know you love playing the guitar, although I still don’t understand why you quit the band you obviously loved so much. I know you’re really tall and you have a sister, but facebook told me that, not you.
Do you like sports? Do you have any hobby’s besides playing your music? (Do I have any?)
Why are you so insecure about me liking you? Liking, not loving, no accident. (Do you even know I am probably even more insecure then you are, but I just stopped showing it because people were so cruel to me?)

There are so many doubts and questions in my mind and I’m quite freaked out by the speed of how you’re taking me down. You're talking about sleeping together and everything, but you still have no clue how my voice sounds like. (Just to give an examle.) It's going way to fast, way to deep and I'm just so afraid I'm going to end up breaking your heart just because of that.
That's probably the only thing I've learned from my ex-lovers... how to crush a heart.

This song probably tells that story very well...

A friend wrote something on his blog recently...

“You know, maybe if you just relaxed for half a second, and stopped looking so hard for the appropriate life mate, then you might wake up one morning next to one.” (D.H.)

And maybe that’s my problem. No-one has ever gotten in my bed. No-one has ever even reached to the step of getting into my pants. Not that they didn’t wanted… I just couldn’t.

Anyway... I have to choose between what my mind says and what I THINK my heart is saying.
Either way... my mind has fucked me up pretty well... I guess a really rough past is to blame.
And I thought writing it all down would give me a hint... but I still have absolutely no clue.

This ain't going to work. I've got an exam tomorrow so I'm going to shut this thing called a computer down..

Love you all.

some thoughts, the shore and new stuff

stupid enough
to believe
the chains around my heart
were loosening up...
Even if they were...
Now they're back
as tight as before

I promised myself
to follow my head
this time
and not to fall
in love with you
Guess my heart
thought otherwise...

J.D.

Hya people,
We're doing it different today. I guess you already noticed, since I've started with some thoughts of mine...
For once I'd really like to know why my heart always chooses the very opposite direction of my mind...


It's the last day of school. Tomorrow morning it's fulltime 'studying and exams' for 5 weeks.
I really can't wait till they're over.
Not only because of the fact studying isn't far from fun, but most importantly... right after my last exam I'm taking of to the shore for a couple of days!! It's going to be my small piece of heaven. No parents, no school, no common stuff. Just me, the shore and everything I love. (Told you: small piece of heaven)

Maybe it will even be a moment to figure out which way my heart's going to take.


Something else...
This is what kept me busy lately...
Yes, that's me. Watch the ears..
I did some research... and it seems that this kind of earring is similar to the whole clean teen-thing (referring to One tree hill, for those who watch the series) and the promiscuity rings in America.

(Forgot to mention Delphine... that's the girl who got me in touch with those earrings. Thanks D.!!
For those who are interested, this is her link:
http://myplekopdieweb.blogspot.com/ )

The meaning of it comes in handy, but in the first place I just think they're cute and really nice.

I'm going to finish up for today.
I know it's short and I know it's been a while, but my exams aren't going to wait for me...

I promise that as soon as the exams are over you'll get much more to read.
Olive you all!!!

hectic times and missing people

Hya guys,

I know it's been a while, but since the exams are getting close the hectic feeling has only grown worse. Term papers, presentations, studying, ... there's almost no time life to take a break once in a while.

But then... there's still Glee and One Tree Hill to enjoy myself once a week.
This week's Glee was awesome, althought the one of last week was even better.

And for One Tree Hill... love the outcome Brooke's actually pregnant, but Chase thought it was Alex who was pregnant. He went all sweet and 'I was going to try-out for the air force but I'm gonna stay with you'. Alex, although I still think Mia rocks, this time Chalex stole my heart this time, forever.

Gonna leave the rest of the spoilers for what they are. Wishing everyone who going through the same hectic school stuff like me the very best with their grades!!!

Olive You
P.S. Alex: I believe I'm missing you... Weird, you're popping up in my head all the time lately. Don't know why. (Not the oth-Alex, but the boy I talked about in my 20/11/2010-blog.)

Sian - the sequel

Short one today.

For all the ones that have actually read the previous blog, it was dedicated to Sian. She had a surfing accident and yesterday the doctors pulled the plug to see if she was able to breathe on her own.

It was truggling, but... she got through!!!
And she might be 'a strong one', I'd say we keep pulling our thoughts together for her.


Special thought for Lianne: I'm not hoping she's going to get through... I'm SAYING she's going to get trough. How much difference when you change one little word... isn't it?

Olive you!!!

Gay people, crappy parents and life support

hya people,

special edition for tonight.
Two of my girls, Lianne and Sian, are holding their breath, for real. (I'm coming back to that later.)
Sian had a really bad surfing accident a couple of weeks ago, and in the meanwhile she also had a life-saving operation.

For the ones that shouldn't already know, Sian and Lianne are a couple.
And here comes also the 'crappy parents'-part...
Sian's parent don't want to have anything to do with her anymore. They don't even care about their doughter being in the hospital in a life and death-involving situation. BECAUSE SHE'S GAY!!! For Pete's sake. That NO reason to abandon your doughter! She might die, you know!!! (Let's hope not.)



Then part three of the whole 'gay people, crappy parents and life support'-thing...
So Sian is on some sort of life support... breathing-machine and so long.
And tonight's really important. They're taking Sian off of the breathing machine... And she has to breathe on her own. So Leanne is holding her breath, hoping Sian takes a breath. Sorry if it seems cruel what I'm saying, but these are just the facts.

Sian is fighting for her life, propably at the very moment I'm posting this blog.
Sian, Lianne...a message from me to you: we're all fighting along with you.

Olive you!!

Sunny side up

Hya party people!!!

I guess I like the weather the way I like my eggs: sunny side up.
I've been jumping around all day in jeans shorts and bikini tops.
Music on the highest volume possible...
" I want you to want me,
I need you to need me
I love you to love me..."
Yes I've been singing along... and I haven't got any complaints of the neighbours.

Everything so much better when the sun is shining. Even when it's snowing.
Don't know how hot it was today... 19 degrees Celcius? That's quite hot for this time of year in Belgium.

It was hard to concentrate on my studying while it was such a nice weather outside... So I just went to study outside. Still not easy 'cause I could see my reflection in the screen of my laptop. So sadly I had to go back inside.

Gonna pop in a movie...
Olive you all

PS. I hope you all at least tried to enjoy the day... just like I did.

blackbirds, sun in my head and dates

Hya people,

I know, It's been a while, but I've got this major pile of 'to do'-things for school on my desk.
But the sun's been shining so bright all week, totaly feeling the Summer-vibe although it's only just the beginning of Spring. I’m just feeling great. The sun is shining in my head.

Last week there was a new episode of Glee and one of the characters sang a ‘blackbird’, a song originally made by the Beatles (yes, the music band, not the little bugs), and I think it quite fits my mood. It’s fits because of the light happy tune, and maybe a little because of the lyrics. It’s about taking yourself up, learning how to fly and seeing things like they really are. So it’s kind of about taking your freedom, and that fits perfectly in that sunny mood of mine.
I’ve put the song just below.

And then the date…
I’ve got a date tonight. I’ve met this guy, Blake, and we’re like going out tonight. He’s picking me up after class. Then we’re going to grab a bite to eat and then we’ll see.
I’m kind of going crazy now. On one side I can’t wait ‘till it’s 6 p.m., but on the other side I’m freaking nervous. It actually the first time I’m going on a date or something like that. So I don’t really know how I’m supposed to act or what to do…

I’m heading out…
Olive you guys.

hourglasses, perverted old people and movies

Hya people,

I've got a crazy week. Working at the local supermarket got me scratched all over my hands and arms. I'm still quite buzy with a bunch of papers that need to be in on Monday... TIK TOCK TICK TOK The sand is falling down in the hourglass and time is running out. So I'm not going to stay long.

Just wanted to tell you a little something...
BEWARE OF LITTLE OLD MEN!!!
I was walking around town with Mia, one of my BFFs and all of sudden this grandfather-person sneaks up behind us and starts saying these perverted things... really nasty.
And this wasn't the first time that man, and other older men, tried that on me.
To all of them STOP FREAKING ME OUT.


Oh, by the way: Wade and Riley... Tuesday at the movies was awesome. 'Black Swan' was really great.

Olive you all!!!

fucking perfect

hya people,

strange week for me... tons of work, trying to keep up with all the arrangments for get-togethers and advertising for  movie night that came up yesterday, and another one that's coming up on March 16th and some Indian students in some of my classes.

Got some crazy dreams at night too... not going to bore you with them this time, just because of the fact that they go way too personal.Yes Wade, you were in it. Weird enough...

Then it's getting time to get to the point of this week's blog...
This time it's all about feeling like you're less then perfect.

For every boy that had to struggle to get where they are, for every girl that went thought a hell at home,n at school,... anywhere, for every boy or girl that ever had a bad time...
To be the first one to stand out... for the last 12 years, I was one of you, because of who I was, because of what I was an because of what I looked like. But I'm proud to say THEY didn't get me down. They won a ton of battles, but I won the war, thanks to: first of all myself, and second my friends and family, who without even knowing were always there for me.

Message for me to all of you: don't ever think you are less then freaking perfect.

This one is for all you perfect beautiful souls...

 Olive you people
Stay true to yourself, always.

newfound soulmate

hola amigos,

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got untill it's gone?
I really don't want to let it get far, not this time

Wade and I were chatting last night, and there were some things cleared out. Not that there was anything wrong. Somehow I just had this feeling I missed a piece af the picture of him in my head.
And now it actually makes sense.
I believe I finally found someone at school I can really talk to, about everything, all the way, without holding back.
I think I found a possible new soulmate in him.

F.Y.I. Wade is the guy I talked about in my last blog, remember?


Wade, I dare you... to take a chance with me and try out for that open job position as soulmate, maybe one day I'll end up as yours as well. You'll never know, if you never try, do you?

Olive you guys!!

movie-night, new guys and music

Hya people,

It's been quite hectic lately. Last night for example I had a movie-night I organised with two of my fellow students. It's was guite a succes. But I was jaded by the tension afterwards. The movie-night was arranged to benefit the project my class is working on. (You know, the boycotted one I talked about last time.) It's still one big mess, 'cause apparently the woman that gave the assignment decided to take a week of.

Other subject, I'm going crazy by the whole situation.
So there's this awesome new guy in my class, Wade. (If you're reading this: no, I'm not kiddig: I'm really happy to know you.) And thanks to him I re-discovered "nine crimes". It's one of the songs I love so much, by Damian Rice. You probably all know it, but I'm still putting a link down here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgqOSCgc8xc

You all know it, or you don't, but I write a lot of poetry. And yesterday Wade told me I could totally use them as song lyrics. That was quite something new to me. I don't think anyone gave me such a great compliment about my work, ever. So, Wade, if it ever come to that point, and I really write one that's actually long enough to become a song, you will be the first one to know.

Maybe for the rest of you, if it's easyer to understand what I'm talking about, here is one of the poëms.

fade in, space out

fading in
spacing out
no limmits in time and space
all sounds of reality
are fading away
All I can think of.
Crash scenario's in my mind.

It's never gonna happen.
You and me.

Olive you all, and see you next time.

assignments and boycotting

Hya people,

I'm in quite a bad mood tonight.
"Why?" you ask? In one of my classes there's this project we have. Our assignment: 'make an aducational and fun something about diabetes for kids with diabetes". That's all we had. And now almost all our day was planned and organised, the one that gave the asignment is saying "You can't do the cooking workshop, you can't use the kitchen, you should do this, you can't do that."

Something else just like that: we need to fund the whole thing ourselves, so we organised a movie-night. We booked a space at school, but yesterday I found out the directory of my college gave the space to someone else, after we had already booked it. It's one big conspiracy against us!!! I'd say we boycot them back, but that would be the only victims of our actions.

I'm getting sick of it all.
I'm tired, I had to work after school tonight and tomorrow it's the same before school.

I'm going to finish up here.
Olive you, guys.

clocks and freedom

Hya guys,

after 3628800 seconds (6 weeks to make it easy) I'm back on track.
3628800 seconds of social isolation. I was going nuts all by myself!
But at one o'clock this afternoon the dark days wer officially over!!

By the way: I found the locket I was looking for. It's one like the one on the picture.
No, it's not a gold one! I said LIKE the one on the picture.
I totally love lockets like that. Now I'm looking for another one, one that bigger (about three centimeters diameter). Let's say one that's big enought to put an inscription on the back.
Anyone who knows where to find lockets like this (as large as this one or bigger) please tell me!

I totally missed my crew. Guys, we're going to have to make it up for the time we lost the past two months. If I'd have a lover I think he'd go nuts with my chattering. I'm going in overdrive, I guess. Compensating for what I've had to miss the past weeks.

I really have to cool down.

♬ It's one hundred and nine degrees in this crowded room
No room to breathe with walls as cold as a gallery
This is no place for me
Such hard faces in smoke
The smell lingers in my clothes
It's a bad night to be alone
But that's the way it goes

And I think of you whenever life gets me down
I think of you whenever you're not around
And you rest your bones
Somewhere far from my own
Yeah, but you still pull me home ♬                          
(think of you - a fine frenzy)

Olive you guys!!!!

One of us

Hya guys,

it's me again.
I have to say thank you, to all of you, 'cause we've reached 720 hits on this blog since it started out on October 31th.720 people from at least 20 different countries. I can only see the 10 countries that had the most people reading (Belgium, the US, Mexico, Germany, Canada, Hungary, the Philippines, Slovenia, Maleysia and Australia) but I know there are more, because of earlyer statistics (the Netherlands, Alaska, Thailand, Romania, Russia, Peru, Australia, Indonesia, Italy, Pakistan, Sweden, Singapore, EL Salvador, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Switzerland, Japan, Mongolia, Serbia, South Korea, Chili, Denmark, Austria, the UK, Spain, India, Slovakia, Saoedi-Arabia and France for example) So many different countries, with so many different religions.

And that's what brings me to "Grilled Cheesus" an episode from the second season of "Glee". It's the story line about the dad of one of those kids. He had a heart attack and all of the other members of the groupe try to let that boy know that they are there for him. The point of it all: they have also different religions, different beliefs. And the episode ends with a cover of "One of us" and I was just really touched, I guess that the best way to put in word how it feels, by the whole episode. I'm not so much of a believer, not in God anyway, but it showed me there has to be something, something that's sacred to me, something I can hold on to no matter what. And the fact that I lay awake with the very question the song "One of us" is all about is the reason I really wanted to share it with you. I've put the ending of the episode down below.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I know there is talking in it, I'm sorry for that. Yes, there are better versions to find if I don't want to have the talking in it, but then you wouldn't be able to see the performance. It's not that special. It's really simple actually but that's the beauty of the whole act. But that's just my opinion. It's up to you to make your own opinion on it, and if you have the time I'd like you to send me your thoughts about the whole religion/beliefs thing.

Olive you.

examination-fever

Hya people,

I know it's been a while. The reason is simple: I'm in the middle of an exam-period.
Had to study the last two (almost three) weeks an this afternoon, two o-clock, I'm having my second exam. Justice. Or law, whatever you call it. It's quite an interesting course, but having exams in the afternoon isn't... I'm going crazy and time is going so slow!!! I'd just want to get started with that exam.
Just getting nervous from sitting here.

Going to head back to my books. My parent 'll kill me if I fail any of my exams this year.

Olive you all and to all of you that are in the same position as I am right now (studying for exams or making them) you have my heart and support.

New Year and Glee

Hya guys,

a happy New Year to all of you.

I hope most of you are enjoying the hollidays. Me not so much. I'm studying all the time for my exams. They start next Tuesday. And I'm really nervous. Last wasn't a blast and I'm so scared I'm going to blow the whole thing. If I fail again, my parent will eat me raw.

Ow, I've got something for aa the Belgian readers of my blog...  Glee started out on television last week. Maybe it sounds a bit dorky, but it's really cool actually. Maybe I'm just dorky... Whatever. It's about a school choir.

One of their performances you can watch right here. I's not the part from the show but it's the exact same song so... enjoy.

I'm going to be heading back to my study books for another hour or so. Have great night people. And I'm wishing you all the very best of 2011.

Olive you!!!
