Intouchables
Today I am going to watch Intouchables (you know, that funny French movie everybody's Always talking about) with two of my friends! We planned on doing this about 6 months ago, but since all of us constantly either have to work or other stuff to do, we didn't. UNTIL NOW. *dun dun dun*
While I'm writing this I am wearing my oversized supercozy and comfy Union Jack sweater (: At first I wanted to buy a 'I <3 LONDON' sweater, but those were very expensive and I figured this one was also very nice and I can also dress it up. I'll post a pic of it later this week!
So yeah, those are my plans for today. And doing a bit of homework, since school starts again this monday. And that was my very short blogpost. Until next time!

Awkward.
Here I am, sitting in a dark room (because I am too lazy to turn on the light) trying to write a blogpost. Yes, it is one of those moments when you have seriously nothing to talk about. Or you have so much on your mind but don't know what to say or how to say it. So why not talk nonsense? (:
A couple of my friends really like the tv series Awkward. It airs on MTV and season 3 started a couple weeks ago. And since she talks about this show ALL the time I figured I watch a couple episodes, and it is quite entertaining actually! Today I did nothing, except watching a bout 6 episodes of it haha. Laaaaazy day. I have so much homework and other stuff to do, but I just can't put myself to it. Procrastinating like a pro. My Cambridge Advanced English exam is coming up and I really need to start practising. I'll start tomorrow, I promise! ^^

Back Home
So the day before yesterday (Tuesday) was my final day in London.. I was so sad to leave. London is an AMAZING city. It is so full of life (duh, but you know what I mean), it's crowded, beautiful, traditional, modern, alternative, everything you can imagine. I enjoyed every bit of it. Taking the tube, walking down Oxford Street, strawling through the Victoria & Albert museum, looking at super expensive clothes in Harrods, crossing Abbey Road, lying in Hyde Park and enjoying the sun, that one cute mexican restaurant, and the lovely dinners I had with my mum. Just everyting.
Anyways. Too make a long story short. I had the most amazing time there, and I absolutely love it there. Can't wait to come back one day. Today I am cleaning up the last things and the things I bought there (I went shopping haha, and bought a lot of books :D )
Now I'm gonna put all of the pictures I took on the computer and upload them on my flickr. (:
Talk to you soon! And expect some pretty pictures on my blog soon.
PS: de picture above is a photo I took during the change of the guards at Buckingham Palace.

Thank you, Beatrix!
Beatrix
Okay, I know I said that I would maaaaybe write one post in advance? Well, I was really feeling it today haha. It is still Friday, and this is about my 4th post I am writing today, I believe. But I really wanted to have a 'special' post up on my blog on April 30th, since "today" is Queen's Day in the Netherlands. This is a national holiday we celebrate annually. But today is the last Queen's Day. From this day on, it will be called 'King's Day'. Because Beatrix is abdicating today and now Willem Alexander is our new king.
So, what I just wanted to say is: Beatrix, thank you! You've done a lot for this country and we really appreciate it. And Willem, we're sure you'll do great haha!

King's Cross..?
S
Woah! Just found out that Imagine Dragons (a band) has a song called 'Amsterdam'. How come I did not know about this?! It's really good, go look it up right now on YouTube! Haha, this is the second time this week that I am talking about Imagine Dragons.
Oh, just so you know, this is another post I am writing in advance, since I will be on a short trip to London this week. I'll be there from saturday until tuesday. Whick means I won't be home on Queen's Day. That's sad.. But hey, if you had to choose between the Netherlands and London, which one would you pick?
I've been BEGGING my mom the past couple of weeks to go and visit King's Cross Station while we're in London. Does that ring a bell? Yeah? If not, let me tell you. That is where Platform 9 3/4 from Harry Potter is! AAAH. I jus need to go there, take some pictures and frame those and hang up on my wall. That would be so amazing! And I also really want to go and visit Abbey Road. I mean, you should visit that place at least once in your life, don't you think?
Is it confusing that I am talking about wanting to visit all those places when there is a change that I am visiting right now, in this very moment while you're reading this? I hope not :P
That was about it for today. I hope you enjoy your day, wherever you are!

See you soon!
Good morning everyone (oh well, by the time this post goes online it is 10am in the Netherlands). When you are reading is, I am probably on a plane to London, or I am already there! How cool is that! I am writing this on a Friday afternoon. Which means I now have to pack my suitcase and get ready. In a couple of hours I have to go to work, and right after that I'm off to bed. Because I have to wake up super early in order to arrive at the airport in time.
I just wanted to mention that I probably won't post a lot the next couple of days. After this one I am writing another post in advance, and MAYBE (but probably not) I will write another post when I am in Londen. I heard our hotel has free WiFi (:
Well, I think that was about it. I am not really the type of person that writes super long posts, since I usually don't have that much to say. Enjoy your holidays everybody (I assume more people have spring break right now..?) And I'll talk to you soon!
I hope my English is good enough to survive in London haha. Fingers crossed!
PS; Do you guys like this fond? Hm.. I'm not too sure about it. Just trying out some new stuff.
