I made this funny 55 second video using Barbies to portray the main characters of a story I wrote a while back for a school assignment.

I hope you'll help me fulfill the goal; getting 5000 views on Youtube.
Yes, I know.... a massive amount. Which is why I need some help.

Please check out the video. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Every time I watch it it still makes me smile.


Love,

Not that there's a lot to confess.

Basically I've been finishing my stories and miscellaneous assignments - took a while to get everything just right - and am no prepping for the upcoming showcase. (read; aaaaah!)

Yes, yes, it's only days away. Thursday is the big day and I have to say my professor's 'Idols' reference made me feel anxious. (minus the past tense)

Of course I am going to do my best. My upmost best. MORE than my best. Because I am a true workaholic and perfectionist. I won't rest before I am absolutely sure I've done everything I can to make my work stand out.

That's the main objective, you know. Not to produce good work (well, that's kind of a dead give away - course they don't want you to hand in fluff) - but to stand out. Qoute; 'to be unique' and 'to make your work impossible to miss'....

Ok, sure, I thought. Easy enoug. (read; what the hell are they talking about?)

So, anyway, I went shopping today. I know that hardly sounds like a solution to anything but trust me; it was! I found nearly everything I need (scratch the 'nearly' ha!) to make my presentation special. From little tear-shaped beads to rose peddles - it's all there.

Sorry, sir... did you say 'eye-candy'? Well, I present to you actual candy, muffins included! And they all fit the theme of my stories, so don't think I'm putting it there to bribe them, hehe. ^^

It'll be one awkward train ride to school with all of that crap on my lap (hey that rhymed!), but ah well... I hope my enthousiasm/elaborate scheme will be rewarded.
Otherwise they can forget the muffins next time!

And with a last omg! I say adieu


Take care!

What: my latest grades
Department: journalism
Where: the Netherlands
State of mind: psyched! ^^


Great! I just got my grades back (right after my portfolio assesment) - and they were all good. Phew, what a relief. I don't have to study anymore and call oficially call this my holiday.

On the one hand, I must say... wow, I can't believe I'm already in my third year. Time flies by so fast, it's crazy. It feels more like two weeks than two years, honestly. But that doesn't change the fact; I passed....; Nice!

I'll celebrate later this week with my friends, for sure. Can anyone say mohjito?! God, I love those lime flavoured ones.. Especially if you drink it with some tasty tapas. 'Hemingways Cuba', here I come! Aaaaah, what better way to welcome Summer?

Btw, these are the choices I've made for next year.

Major: Magazines
Minor: Literature (too bad you couldn't pick that as a major, or my academic life would have been perfect )

Anyway, I'll keep writing in the mean time. And taking lots of beautiful pictures, of course. Nature's always been one the biggest inspirations for me.

Lots of love,

~ Kirstin

This Monday (24th November) me and my friends visited a concert of Within Temptation It was my first WT concert, so it was extra special. I loved every second of it. Sharon sang a lot of my favourites like; All I Need, Caged, Pale, Mother Earth and The Cross.

She wore two different outfits, both white. The first one kind of reminded me of a ballerina/butterfly dress and the second was more of a classy party dress that reached the floor. She looked stunning in them.

I was very thrilled to be there, watching the band live. Especially since there was a very 'intimate' atmosphere, due to the presence of violins and a piano and the lack of wild guitar solos. (with the exeption of What Have You Done and Ice Queen)

But all in all, if I'd have to compare the evening to a song, it'd have been a ballad. Soft, smooth, like a chilly autumn wind. A night I will surely never forget...

The sun - she looks on us kindly... mostly
Yet without mercy she can burn
And without regret she may yearn
To take a path a little bit colder
Yet we won't notice 'til we're older
- that fate of Summer is both cruel and crazed
And still, we never cease to be amazed
