Day Zero Project [Update]

Hi guys! Here we go again! ^^
 
Personal
20.  Go to the eyedoctor
Because of my diabetes my eyesight changes which means I sometimes can't see what it says on a board (like at school). It all can be explained because your lens is held together in some kind of sugar water in your eyes (otherwise it'd have to be held together by blood and we'd all see red... LOL don't want!) so when the sugar levels in your blood is high, the amount of suger in your eyes is higher causing you to see less and less because of the sugar! So that's not your actual eyesight, just the sugar blocking your eyes. I have to do about 3 or 4 check ups when I feel good (so when my sugar is stable) and then they'll check if it's the sugar causing my problems or my actual eyes...

Health/food
34.   Bake a cake
 
I made a Nigella cake! ^_^ twice even, for my mom's birthday and my own... yum!
Multimedia
52.   Watch 5 Asian Drama series (0/5)
 - Currently watching a few dramas but didn't finish any yet.. (Ouran and Ikemen desu ne!)
 
53.   Watch 20 movies in the cinema (20/20)
 I've watched quite a lot more movies and didn't post about them! I finished this a while ago...
 
- The Hangover 2
   BEEPING AWESOME MOVIE PEOPLE! I thought it was even better than the first... <3
- X-Men: First Class
  Aaaah... I fell in love with this movie (and with James McAvoy all over again). I've had my 'James' period before when I was totally psyched about Becoming Jane (most of you won't know this movie I guess). I'm still totally head over heels hahaha. My BFF (;D) Lin and I still have our moments when we spazz about him or the slash in X-Men.. aaah.. shipping reminds me of Supernatural xD <3
But besides that I also just loved the movie itself. X-Men is probably the one comic I loved most out of all. I like most comics btw ;p
- Rabat
  That's a duch movie, enough said. (It was alright btw)
- Gooische vrouwen
  Yet another dutch movie, lol.
- Kungfu Panda 2
  AAAAHHH LOOOVEDDD IT!! It was so much bette than the 1st one *_*
- Transformers: Darkside of the Moon
  It was okay, but I didn't think it was as cool as the previous ones D: Yes I actually missed Megan Fox, BECAUSE her character had developed a kind of relationship you can't just ship off and replace her with a girl who tries to be a Megan Fox. Sorry it annoyed me, other than that I don't really care about Megan Fox XD.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
  cried my beeping eyes out....... really my childhood came to an end when the movie ended. T__T I want to watch it again!! AND AGAIN! and the 3D effect were really good too and I'm not pro-3D. It was amazing to finally see this amazing story from beginning to end. If you haven't at least watched all of the movies, be ashamed. I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T LIKE HARRY POTTER.
- Horrible Bosses
  It was really funny XD

Fun
78.   Give a 21st birthday party
86.   Go to an Anime Convention

I went to Abunaicon 2011 with m friends and wore a  kigu~ a piggy  one ^^ KUROI BUTA FTW. <3
Random
95.   Tie a note to a balloon and let it go

Up in the air!

Hi guys! ^^

I'd like to tell you about a certain day zero project goal I did together with my bff Lin~ <3
Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiinn <3

We both bought a balloon so we could tie a note to it and let it go.
We decided we had to write something inspiring on the note, something that would cheer up the person who would find it.

 Lin
Desi

My quote is from Yamashita Tomohisa's song "After the Rain", which helped me through a very rough time tbh. I won't discuss what it was, but I didn't enjoy a single day at that time. The only thing keeping me going was music, and Yamashita's single "Loveless" (with all the extra's like After the Rain) really kept me going. I was able to give a meaning to parts of the songs because some songs weren't about what I felt, but when I just listened to single sentences it made sense to my problems.
ANYWAY, I'm very happy now and I want to share the quote "Imagine that sunshine after rain" with other people who might need it as much as I did.



It really felt like I let go of that period in my life >w< felt goood! We eventually didn't see the balloons afterwards tho xD
(We were in Amsterdam and I was about to take the train home, hence the trolly thing)

Hi guys!!

I've been so busy lately. I started writing a new blog post a week or two ago, but I was sick for a week so I didn't finish. :( Sorry!!
During that time it also wasn't sure if I could attend school again, because I didn't pass a certain exam... STRESS I TELL YOU! Eventually, after mailing back and forth with school and its board they allowed me to continue my educational path.... Thank the Lord!
I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I really, really, REALLY wanted to do this specific major (it's just half a year of school, but I think it's called "major" in english xD lol) which is called "mediastiek" it's short for "Media" and "Journalistiek" which means "Media" (obviously) and "Journalism". So in english we should call it medialism or something LOL. We're asked to make a product, mostly a video, like a documentary or promotional video (or even both). It's also possible that we have to use other kinds of media, a magazine or something. I am in total love with work like this. I love to be creative and actually MAKE something. Last year I've been all about media and I've developed some kind of love for it. I've made several magazines and a promotional video for Seaport Xperience Centre (SXC) and now I can put all that experience to the test. I've been assigned the project "IMCK/Iraq" which I am currently working on (for about 1,5 week now). I'm excited and a little anxious too, because I probably have to go to Iraq (Kurdistan to be exact) for a week. From what I hear, this place is safe, but my friends and family are preeettyyy scared that something might happen to me anyway. But! It's a life experience I should not pass on. But, if you know me, I'm pretty much a girl who plays it safe, so this is quite a challenge! We're still in our research mode and it's slowing starting but we're having fun. I'm currently reading Judit Neurink's books, "Mijn Iraakse familie" and "De bange stad". If you're interested, then it's a must read...
Also, we're trying to gather enough money to fund our project so if you want to donate us, even like 50 cents xD, then please do! *Onegaishimasu!*

Enough updating! Let me tell you something about a very special day last sunday: It was my 21st birthday!! Yaaay!!


My amazing friends and family threw me a surprise party! SO SURPRISED!
One of my friends told me that they didn't have anything planned for me which made me really, really upset because they gave me this amazing present last year and this year it's my 21st birthday. I still don't like it that she lied about that xD. But anyway, the party was super cool! They tricked me into coming to a friend's house to 'pick up some china for the party' when everyone was there waiting to surprise me. I didn't know they were there yet because my friends live all across the Netherlands and I (unfortunately) live up north where no living soul would want to live (just kidding xD). They called me that they had some kind of car trouble and that they heard a loud BANG and had to pull over, blahblah. xD All a lie!
After that they blindfolded me and brought me to a 'secret location'. ....I only knew what the location was. I've been living in this town for 21 years now, and I've know the place where they held the party for 15 years or so, so when we walked towards it I was like "Are we going to DIB"? (It's called DIB, "De Indische Buurt") And my mom was all like noooooo what are you talking about! But when we entered I could even SMELL the place LOL!
Anyway, almost all of my friends were there and if I celebrated it in my house it'd be one full house... I missed 1 special friends at my party but she's currently in England, so she had a good excuse hahaha.

They also gave me amazing presents! Let me show you:






OEEEH SUPERNATURAAAAL *_____* I'm really glad with all my presents and I wanted them really bad but the Supernatural blu-ray was on the top of my list (I made a wish list! Search for it!).
I want to thank my nii-chan once again~ You know me so well =D <3

I also got Vans, not exactly the ones I wanted but they're awesome as well!! <3 I couldn't take a picture unfortunately, but you'll see them soon enough probably. ^^ I also got pretty pink flowers! =D But it was late and I couldn't take a good picture of them... :(
My parents are going to help me fund my drivers license~ so that's their gift! Some people also gave me money to help me fund it LOL xD I hope I can soon drive like a madwoman! YAY! *fast and the furious images in head*

Anyway guys, this blog post is way too long already so I'll call it a day now, hope I'll update soon again!
