PERSONAL; friendz eventz - the bday!

Last saturday was my birthday. The partying started already friday. I went with some friendz to a special 'bday night' @ a local discotheque. There were opportunities for buying champagne at reduced price. Bubbles + reduced ? NICE. So we drank and danced the night away. And when I came home back then, I drank the water away, avoiding the hangover of course. On the big day itself, the family came over for happy dinner time and to eat 'some' cake. To eat a LOT of cake, actually. Funny thing is that it's my favorite aunt's bday that day too! She turned 16 (but you have to read it in the other direction). Traditionally we celebrate together and blow the candles from the lovely cake, together. After this lil home-dinner, I went out that night again, but that wasn't that spectacular. Anywayz, I couldn't get enough of it, so I threw a party for friendz @ my student house with some snacks and booze. A LOT of booze, you know the reputation of a young student, right? Again we partied the night away. But now I'm definitely satiated, it waz très bien mes amis. And the presents? Love, love them. I received folders, money, the liquid sand collection from OPI, 2 lovely statement necklaces and vouchers for sunglasses, sushi, zara and Zalando! The money is no more btw, I bought immediately an iPhone, an investment as I predicted! Again thanks folks, this was a nice edition, maybe there is no curse at all? That's that. Forever 20. That's how it should be! 

AD: Pixum picture perfect

Pictures fade away, memories forever stay. Even though this one is an all time stayer, I love to have pictures of memories. Especially of me and my friendz. A short time ago; my external hard disk was broken. I almost had a heart-attack (all my pictures from 2001 untill nowadays were on it), but luckily it could be repaired. That's why it's nice to have all your pictures also printed. But in this online virtual world, people don't pay attention to it anymore. Each summer, as I went on vacation with friendz, I always make a photobook afterwards, with a short summary of these lovely times. Just because it's fun, and to show the kids in the future of course, haha.

I was very thrilled when Pixum offered me a lovely opportunity to test their services. It's an online shop and they offer thingz like photobooks, canvases, posters, calendars, greeting cards, or just simply printing your pics! Something for everyone, there are a lot of possibilities; whether you want to surprise a friend with a gift, whether you just simply love pictures&co as me.

I ordered a photo poster, designed by myself, with the aid of the service. At first, you can choose your own background, secondly upload your pictures and place them where you want and in the end you can even add your own text. It's that simple. As you can see on the pics, I've made a collage of the nightlife in Leuven (the city I study). I'm very happy with the result; the quality of the pictures stayed perfect, and the print is as I expected, moreover the shipment was shipshape and therefore it deserves a place above my bed, in my student-room of course. Definitely a nice idea as a gift.
Thanks again, pixum!

PERSONAL: friendz eventz nye

As I promised; I would give you guyz an update of my NYE. To be honest, this night is more black than bright. (And by that I mean drunky drunk, I sure do.) Let's put this puzzle pieces together. 
So after a miserable forenoon of learning, I made myself ready as I showed you here. We congregated @ 6 pm to give our presents. It's kinda tradition to meet every NYE with these lovely friendz to eat some delicious food, give presents to a person on the little paper we pulled before,(we even eat these tiny papers after the lottery draw, haha) and dance together the night away. So on the rythm of bacardi-william lawson-martini-fiero-smirnoff-... (yes indeed: the game that you have to complete some kind of brand or object, or you lose) we gave our presents. I consider it rather more pleasant than the just 'hey-here-you-go-your-present'. I received a package of starbucks with some caramel sirup to make some delicious coffee! (and a bottle of wine) Perfect to stay high-concentraded between my exams: thanks Tommie! The other presents were also quite lovely imo; tshirt&scarf, zara necklace and an odor-making buddha. 

Afterwards, we drawed up to the table @ some nice winter bbq and drank 'some' glasses of wine. When we arrived @ the party (some local nye party), we were already tipsy. I guess this progressed in a heavy-like way.

  Countdown and DANCE.

I've made a wise selection of photo's, because there were a lot of 'improper', to say the least. Each year it's kinda competition between us who has got the most scandalous photo's, well this year we've an ex aequo I guess. So I will save you from this monstrosities. And I see you thinking, but don't act like an angel, nye is just THAT drunk event, isn't it?

And well after this lovely night; I had to attend 2 familyparties, and I said nay twice 2 this delicious food. In Belgium we call it: at night big Jan, in the morning Dafalgan. And even that didn't appease this serious hangover. Anywayz; I received a lot of money, an Inno-giftcheck, win for life (€3 yay!) and a lovely ring. 
Thanks to all who were part of this lovely times. ❤❤❤

PERSONAL; friendz eventz

As I've told you before; half of the academic year is already done, except the exams offcourse. Between all this schoolwork there has to be time for some fun. This semester was full of party (again), but as we all know: beautifull songs don't last forever. Duty calls: to study it iz, and it will be. But before this period of studying, traditionwise we party a last time the night away (although, this time it has taken 3 times to define our 'last' night: haha!). After some dining we went to YOLO-winter wonderland @ Barvista club in Leuven. There was an awesome deal: 5 shots gin = one goodie. Offcourse we drank the goodies away. 5 Russian fur hats & some gloves, good work, no? It waz an incredible farewell party with a lot of highlights. (Like a gang of foreigners stealing wallets&phones -oh hell yes included mine- but luckily they are arrested, the wallet came back but without the money... Despite the fact I had no money anymore, I couldn't give up my last party of the year @ Leuven: so no thinkin' but party!)

like childeren who receive a gift; happy happy

The second event I've mentioned was the little christmas-party with my psychology-friendz. We had to bring all some snacks, but it ended in a serious banquet. (I felt even over-eaten till next morning!) Salmon-cheese wraps, cookies, chips, pizza, salami, olives; call it & we had it. D to the elicious. To top thingz off; we received a name to buy an inimini-xmas-gift (€3 or something; as student we're allowed to keep it low-budget; right?). I received the king of greens from Catrice and a Montagne Jeunesse face mask; thanks Charlotte for the lovely present!

In a couple of hours I'm off to the 'End of the world party' in the neighbourhood; ow and if it's real; I hope my blog will be an artefact for the new generation; haha! xoxo

FRIENDZ EVENTZ: halloween - "komen eten"

Hi!
Wednesday-evening, @ halloween, we did the second part of "komen eten". (Like I said before; it's a dutch program where each character has to cook a complete meal & the others have to give some points and after everyone has cooked; a winner will be announced). But surely it's a student-edition (It's not like we can afford a lobster belle vue or can make a rack of lamb or something ;)), so everything is a bit basic. Our host was Tom, normally a very clumsy person, but he did a perfect job I think! He made us a halloweenpunch with eyeballz in it (an abundance of alcohol, it waz, haha), a delicious surf & turf entree followed by a tastefull main course with pasta pesto & filled meatballs. Not to forget; he closed the meal with a dame-blanche (although it waz a bit milkshake by melting...). We didn't dress halloween style because we went partying afterwards, but with my halloween-nails, I remained still in theme. So with a lot of tasty food and too much booze in our tummy we went partying and danced the night away with a light head. Thanks for the great evening!

I will post some pics of it & want to show you my new necklace I finally bought @ zara & which I showed you in this post a while ago ;)

hosting, cooking, a stressfull event for Tom!

 Enjoy this autumnal extended weekend xoxo

Back to life

Hello again, 

I'm back in Belgium! Actually, I was yesterday; but I was too tired 4 posting. (yeah tired after vacation awkward, I know!) The vacation was incredible, I already want to go back! After Lloret de mar and Chersonissos, our 3th party-holiday was Marmaris. There was a huge bar street with a lot of clubs, so tradition wise; we went over there every night and partied the night away. For culture (and to make the parents happy) we did a hammam (yikes this waz so nice!) and we went on a boat trip (nice sun-tan). The shopping there was rather disappointed.. Too much fake bladidadidaaaa (although one of my friendz bought a nice Jimmy Choo!), so I didn't shop much over there. I won't tell you everything but here some key-words: irritating turkish boys, water pipe, fake-shopping, hammam-relaxing, nice rooms & hotel, lovely weather, root spray, joy-club, vodka-redbull, night-swimming, party-music, and so oooooon. I'm posting some pictures but I borrowed my camera the next week to a friend so my posts will be based on mobile-pictures :(
