22.09.2010 - A summerish day

21.09.2010 Vitaminebomb smoothie

Yes, totally normal citizens
Gourmet food of the day:
Spinach, beef, egg, cucumber
totally organic!

School was cancelled for the day. I was supposed to have 2presentations. Not sure whether I'm happy about the fact that they arenotyetover (!!!) or not. Well, I'm sick - so at least I will be able to present them when I feel better.


Today I've only slept. Yay. The day outside has been wonderful, warm and summerish. Hope it continues like this!

HI SU-SHI!


Yu hu hu hummmmy!

Today, on the 20th of September 2010, I am proud to announce the loss of my sushi-virginity.
Slight lie - I once have bought sushi from a grocery store in Finland but that was total vomit (excuse). Now this was the real thing, fresh and ta ta ta taaasty!

We went to "celebrate" Annaïs' new fridge that Katharina helped her get. Our entourage included Koen, Chris, Katharina, Annaïs, Siggy and Me.


We ordered some Hockey Guys with Annaïs!



The hockey guys (hokkigai) were a bit...interesting. Not absolutely the best thing ever but eatable!


6 rounds, 5 choices of meal per round - heavenly. We only made it for 3 "full" rounds and a small 4th round. Sumo, I'm sure to visit you again! This restaurant was pure awesomeness.

Saint Schoolwork's Day

GYM GYM!

Running has become my top like to do thing lately. Can't understand how! I've always been saying how much I hate it but lately I've felt like going for a run all the time. The only thing I reallyreally miss is having a mp3. Should go and buy that iPod I've been thinking of buying for what, 3years or so!

This morning was supposed to be a 'wake up super early and do/continue a lot of important duties' -one. Well it was, nearly. Yesterday we just got stuck with playing spin the bottle with Kristina, Esther, Petteri, Batu, Can and Vince. I was supposed to go to sleep early and thought that it was something like 11ish or 12ish when Esther shouts "Whaaaat theee, it's already 2am!"
Before going to sleep I felt like watching a movie. From out of the blue came the idea of watching Requiem for a Dream. Had never seen that before, and actually didn't even finish it since I fell asleep after 10min it seems! Gonna have to finish it some other day because at least the first 10min seemed interesting - I think.

Ooh, and now I have to say...Yesterday (Friday 17th) must have been the most unbelievable school day ever. I have never experienced anything so ... can't even find the word. In pure rage - it was total crrrapito! Our songwriting lecture in a nutshell:
Teacher (about a youtube video of his band): "Yeaaah, this is my band. Here we are playing. Oh, look, that's me playing."
Teacher: "This is one musician who has had a huge influence on me. Lets hear what he has to say about songwriting."
Teacher: "Oh, okay, hmm. Well, as a speaker he sure isn't that talented but yea, he's a great musician."
Teacher: "Songwriting.. well first some people kinda like jam and then it goes from there. You first get the chords and stuff, then figure the melody and then comes the hard part - lyrics. Yeah, that's how you do a song."

I'm sorry but WHAT? Are we in Uni or are we six years old? Isn't that first of all obvious or if not, it's not important - is it? Don't people write their songs in what ever way they want to. For example my piano and guitar skills are so nonexistent that all I am capable of doing is writing lyrics and that's how I start (and end :-D) the process. I doubt whether you write the lyrics or jam and get some chords first has got anything to do with making a hit song for example. Gaaah, I felt so speechless (yes, in a bad way) after that lecture. Was that seriously the meaning of lecture "songwriting"?
But. Otherwise school has been great and I think I'm learning more than ever and have just the right motivation for it!

But yeeees, that was yesterday. Plus I got a years' phone subscription. Oh, and did some shopping! Whoop! In London I saw the most perfect shoes in H&M. Yes, H&M! How weird. Anyhow, I didn't buy them and have regretted the decision ever since. I tried to find similar ones here in Haarlem (from other shops than H&M because I wanted real leather boots and better quality ones) but didn't find any good ones. Then yesterday I marched into H&M and finally bought them cutieees!


Never have I owned wedges before. I think. I just haven't really liked them. But now - yes, those were simple and perfect. I already have so many outfits ready thought of with which I'll wear my wedges.

Also an other long lasting process has been to find "the perfect jeans". The criteria has been that they must be dark blue and surprise surprise fit perfectly meaning they have to be the right length (love linda, who will def. not touch a sowing machine) and they are not allowed to scrubble up on the leg - at least not alot. So they have to be "tight and smooth".

H&M surprises again. 9,95€ and I think, I've found the perfect jeans!
(Ok, I think so pretty often but then the jeans appear to be a major disappointment after a month or two. Hope I'm not wrong with these jeans because at least the price is shocking! Won't be too much of a disappointment if they appear to be bad after all.)

Today everyone is going for the ESN Booze Cruise. I decided not to go because otherwise I'll have a massive pile of schoolwork to do soon. I want to get them out of the way.
Plus wasn't that into going booozing, having such a good fitness mode on right now haha!

Today's smoothie, the fruit pleasure:

- 1/2 banana
- 1 orange
- 2 slices of a fresh pineapple
- 1 apple
- some fruit juice
- cacao powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of MSM-powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of quality salt
- 2 bitter apricot kernels
- teaspoonful of Maca -powder
- some pollen
- water

plus a couple of nuts on the top


Now back to enjoying school assignments!

Happy Birthday, B!


First of all, the pictures are so bad quality that I don't even want to look at them for too long.

Yesterday it was Batu's birthday. An inside joke inspired us to buy him a certain gift. Tina went to get a cake, Esther bought B some beer and also travelled to A'dam to get THE gift. It was 7.45pm and we were ready to go and surprise!


Of course nothing ever goes as planned... where was the birthday boy? Not at home? Not on any of the other floors/rooms? Didn't answer his phone? Whaaat? Surprise - super fail, we though.
After a 20min search we finally bumped into Paulo who knew where Batu was. "Yeah, we just came from Albert Heijn and he went to his room now", P said. Gaaaaah, finally!

SUUUURPRIIISE! We went to Batu's apartment and sang him happy birthday (which I think we sang at least 5 times during the whole evening).

 Now it was time for presents:
1. Cake
2. Beer, of course
3. The Mankini!
Unfortunately "bodyhair not included".

I have to say I feel like Vincent enjoyed B's mankini more than B himself.

Later on everyone gathered together to celebrate Batu.
Hope you had a great birthday, B!


I love my morning kick offs. Supersmoothie lovin'!

 I just ate some super delicious tomato soup and now I'm enjoying a super after drink:
1/2 teaspoonful of MSM-powder
Squeezed lemonjuice (3slices)
a teaspoonful of honey
water


Livewithlove,
Linda
