Dear diary,

Today I failed to get my drivers licence.
So I went to the circus.
It was epic.
Made my day.

Sincerely, me.

Welcome Home

Have yourself a merry little christmas

I wish you all a very merry christmas. I hope you are not alone.
Have fun, be safe and enjoy your meal! Liefde!

A "random" night out with me!

I go out. Sometimes. Here are some random photos of me:

How is it possible, a girl like me, who doesn’t drink that much, if not at all, CANNOT get a normal picture with a nice smile? I call it a gift. It is like being psychic. You just have it. You cannot choose whether you want it or not. You have it, and you have to live with it. It is your mission to be like this on pictures. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE!

I think I’m doing a pretty decent job!

Merry Christmas

Dear Santa,

If that piano could be mine, I'd be very pleased! Thank you very much!

The Part

I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones
I started looking for a warning sign

When the truth is, I miss you
The truth is, that I miss you

- Coldplay, Warning Sign.

The only part I hate in life is the missing part. The part that makes your heart ache. That part that gets you everytime something beautiful, memorable, amazing or splendid happens. Whether you want it or not, it will always be there, sneaking up behind your back. Most of the times it stays in the background, but sometimes, when you least expect it, it shows up at your door. It wants to get into your precious little heart and make it hurt for a little while. The part you try to forget, but will always be a piece of you because it is the right thing to be. That part.

But it is a part of life. Of respect. It is a sign you are alive. With real feelings.

It is good that the part is there, right there, in your precious little heart to do some damage and make you feel alive. Live your life to the fullest.

I'm a sucker for romance

Yes. A hug. A smile. A conversation. A smile. A couple of songs. Two smiles. A change of plans. A meal. A conversation. Two smiles. A laugh. Two laughs. A hug. Squeezing the sadness away. Two smiles. Music. Movie. Dinner. A hug. I like you. I like you too. A hug. A weird silence. A journey. A long journey. A short journey. Hello again. I moved. I missed. A hug. Distance. No. A hug. Closer. Better. Music. A dance. The zoo. Laughter. A hug. Tea. A short list. Theatre. An evening. A night. Music. A hug. A long list. Music. A conversation. Two smiles. Jokes. Dessert. A text. A smile. Music. Dinner. Yes. Different. The same. Boy. Girl. Girl. Boy. A hug. You go. I go. Bye. A hug. See you. Bye. A kiss? Maybe. A hug? Yes. Music. You and I.

Scrapbooks for dummies!

Today I updated my scrapbook colletion! Pretty sweet!
From left to right: Theatre-tickets-scrapbook, my-very-first-scrapbook, parade-scrapbook, newspaper-scrapbook, new-york-scrapbook and the last one is my norway-scrapbook. Preety awesome! There is some serious creative writing in those lovely little bleu books.

The thing with scrapbooks is that is depends on the color/cover of the book if it will give me inspiration. These scrapbooks also appear in red and black (like the big one) but for some weird reason, I can only write in the blue ones. If I buy a red one, it's pretty much doomed before I'm even at the cash register. The way it looks when you first open it is also very important. And it needs to be very clear from the beginning which side is the front side! Only big-books in black!

Listen to the following artists while updating your scrapbooks:
Johan, Broken Bells, Brothers, Ingrid Michaelson and Coldplay (preferably Parachutes)

Be aware, Robin is one step closer to getting here drivers license!

“If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart, I’ll always be with you."

- Winnie the Pooh

Happiness is a mood, not a destination.

I heard this today, in my addiction-serie One Tree Hill. I believe in this. People always seem to 'hope-to-be-happy-someday' (at least in my series, they do), but what if you're happy for a moment and if that moment ends, then that's fine, because there will be plenty more of those moments. You should enjoy every little moment of your life, and not focus so much on "I-hope-one-day-I'll-.."

God, I should really stop watching those series, it's bad for my image..

I'm happy, today was a good day!!

I and Love and You

Load the car and write the note.
Grab your bag and grab your coat.
Tell the ones that need to know.
We are headed north.

- The Avett Brothers.

I wanna go somewhere far away someday.. with someone..

Stratumseind. 12 PM. Robin & friend. Hilarious.

Yesterday, I went out. I'm 18 years old, and yesterday was the first time I went out. Yes, it was.

For those of you who don't live in the awesome city Eindhoven. Stratumseind is only the biggest going-out-area in Eindhoven.

There are 3 species at Stratumseind:

The people who see and want to be seen.

You can devide these people in 2 groups. Group 1 will stand at the side of a bar, with a beer in their hands, checking out all the people (mostly men, checking out women). The other group drinks like crazy, and because of that, acts like crazy...

The people who honestly like it.
Although, I find this hard to believe, there are people who really enjoy going to overcrowded places that are way too small, with a lot of drunk people.

People who go there because 'you are suppose to'
Sadly, I'm one of those. Most of the time, that is not the way I roll, but just to get an opinion of the whole going-out-thingie (or so she says..) These people go out because everybody else does it. I probably won't ever go out again. At least, not like this.

I think Stratumseind can be fun, but certainly not on a saturday night. People, well actually they all are kids, are acting really stupid as far as I can see. You walk from bar to bar, just stand there, waiting for something to happen. Move on to another bar, together with hundred other people you don't know, who have WAY too many make-up on their little 14-year-old faces!

Maybe, this is not the way to go out. Maybe, there's a way cooler type of going out. If so, please take me out that way!

I did have fun laughing at other people and laughing at myself, though.

Do not disturb, you little brat!

Tell me, how this is possible...

I’m watching a movie. This movie took about 90 minutes. In this movie, a lot of things happen. This movie happens to be a very romantic movie, with a lot of butterflies-in-my-stomach-scenes. Awesome!

Obviously, a lot of things happen in this movie. Good things, bad things, exciting thing, funny things bla, bla, bla. For 88 minutes, nobody is disturbing me! That’s good! But then, the last minutes of the movie arrive. These 2 minutes happen to be the most important and most beautiful minutes of the movie. So it is very important that nobody disturbs me. Then why, WHY, does my little brother HAVE TO come bullying me IN THOSE LAST 2 VERY IMPORTANT MINUTES?!?!

WHY? I find it very brave to come in, and disturb me in the last 2 minute of a movie. You have freaking 88 minutes, were it is not that big of a deal if you disturb with a question or something. But those 2 minutes, little brother, those 2 minutes are VERY important for the mood I’ll be in the rest of the evening, and are VERY important for me to get ready to go back to the real world! Please don’t do that again! Thank you! I’ll be nice to you now.

The Heart

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess

- 'Breakable' Ingrid Michaelson

Our heart. Our heart is a very pretty, lovely, breakable, precious part that you don't give away that easily. You keep it to yourself and if someone treats you well, maybe you consider giving him/her a piece of that precious part of you. And if he/she is really your soulmate, they get to see that part of you, that is suppose to be the best part of you and wasn't meant for everybody. But, isn't it strange that this 'heart' we talk about, looks like this in reality:

I believe, this is still a very precious part of you.

Music creates a soul

Why do we really like particular songs? What thing about a song gives you that special feeling, image or gets you back to a good/bad memory?
Songs always have a special meaning:

M79 from Vampire Weekend immediatly brings me back to the evenings on which I would walk back from my actingclasses, passing Times Square, enjoying all the lights and people.

And I hope that one day somebody (preferably a boy :P) tells me that Nicest Thing from Kate Nash describes exactly the way he feels about me.

I always want to sing along with Heavin Forbid from The Fray. As loud as possbile! And cry like a baby on Anouk's One Word.

I just can't wait to be king gets me back to the ol' times (as far as possible) and I will play all the parts!

I fall in love every time I hear John Mayer and Apologize from OneRepublic makes me want to walk/cycle trough the rain.

Owl City says: I-want-to-be-in-your-band-marry-me-ps-I-heart-your-blog!

Paolo Nuntini gets me daydreaming and Always Love from Nada Surf makes me think of my favorite friend!

The Noisettes bring me back to my vacation in Italy and Coldplay, well Coldplay is Coldplay and always awesome! Coldplay makes me want to be a really great musician!

The Kooks and The Artic Monkeys make me want to move to Londen and with Mumford & Sons I would really like to make music! Or get a private concert at a fire place with hot chocolate and whipped cream!

If Pete Murray is on I would really like to learn how to play the guitar and show my bad-ass-skills at a bonfire on the beach in Australia. I would also like to help Adele with a second album, because it would be nice if she brings one out anytime soon! Guess she doesn't need my help: second album on 24 january! Its called: 21. Wow! What a surprise :P!

The Spice Girls, gosh, they make me laugh so hard at all the times I acted like a crazy 10-year-old to imitate them with my best english ever (NOT)

But why I don't have bieberfever, why I can't stand Chris Brown, why I think they should put Rihanna in a cave together with Lady Gaga/Kesha and Katy Perry, why I get very aggressive when I hear hardcore, child stars, heavy metal and rappers (except for eminem and brainpower).. I don't know..
Where did you get your taste of music...?

Thank God for music! (God says: Robin, get the hell back to your books, or I'll do something to your ears! oké, I'm already on my way!)

Vila Rada

Someone told me that you are gone now
You took off to the other side
It's no one's fault no, you just made up your mind
How can I believe something like that?
How can I believe it's true?
I don't believe in much but I believe in you
If you're still alive
If you still haven't closed your eyes
If you're still rambling around at night
Then I'll be waiting here for you
I hope you know that I always loved you
Even though it's something I never said
Well, hope is all I've got, hope that you're not dead

Vila Rada - Nikola Sarcevic

Gotta love a good riddle

I have 2 jokes/riddles that I can only give to you in Dutch. So here it goes!

- Het is wit en je kunt het weggooien?!

- Het is blauw en weegt niet veel?!

Rara wat is het....

My new (old) love

Soooo, whats up?

This scares me very very much! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYhOThfj4WA&ob=av2n

I will give you some time to recover from that!








You're back? Good! Because this, I like very very much!



I got this little guy today! :D You will not see me more exciting about any other toy! :D
Everybody laughed at me when I said 'I'm buying a gameboy' But since I have one (2 hours) my mom already used it (she sucks at it, sorry mom) and my friends are waiting in line! See, I rule!

What I also like, and I found that out yesterday, the new Kings of Leon cd. I wasn't really into their first album, just a few songs on it, but the new one... damn guys! Nice! Sweet! Awesome! Might buy it, like, full price buy it, like, not waiting for the sale, like, actually have it on my bookshelf!

I guess I'll see you soon then?! (If the gameboy lets me)

:-)

Kate Nash, will you be my new BFF? I believe I adore you! Amazing! Awesome!

Me likey..

I like:

putting on good music and sing-a-long as loud and off-key as possible,
beautiful photo's, sarcasm, laughing at my own jokes (very hard), smell of mowed grass.
Red, 'Pop', watching the stars and nightsky,
midnight conversations, first day 'met zonder jas' outside, freckles,
apple-juice, see the sun rise in the train,
saying 'hi' to the busdriver, putting on new socks, buying a new toothbrush,
sleepovers, autumn storms, sitting in front of a warm heating,
good music, ride a bicycle in the rain, romantic stories,
trainride's on my own, real life celebrity soaps, trying on new outfits,
rediscovering my closet, !!!, going to the beach when there's a little storm,
stormy weather, daydreaming, seeing a city slowly wake up, tea-to-go,
apples, quoting people, Spanish, French, dance like crazy, the zoo,
funny facebook-pages, the word: awesome, the word: sweet, New York, Lavik, my bed, airplanes, my bicycle, the free paper in the train, escalators, trams, big-yellow school busses, the subway, thinking big, dreaming bigger, YOU!

What about you?

Africa

' The death need the living other wise they die for good'

- Nannies Only, HZT

Yesterday I went to the theater. I haven't been there since... let's say... a long time..
It felt different in some way. Don't know why, it's strange.. maybe it was because I went alone..

Anyroad! I went to Nannies Only. A play about South-Africa and the apartheid. (It's awkward that the only dutch word the whole world uses is apartheid. How not proud I am...)

It was a touching play! Got me thinking about South-Africa and how it's actually not that good there. Now I really want to go to South-Africa to see what really happens there.
I find Africa very interesting. On one hand, I really want to go there, but on the other hand, I'm sort of scared to go there just because of all the bad stories they tell you. One day, I will go!


Something TOTALLY different! I RULE in midgetgolf! I am actually surprisingly good at it! I had 4 hole-in-ones! (No, I am not saying how many holes there were, that would be rather disappointing!)

I guess I'll see you soon then!

Oké, you can have it.... I guess...

Well, here’s the story from A to Z..

I have a bike. A pretty awesome bike! It has little beads on the wheels which make pretty noises. It has a bell in the shape of a ladybug and it’s black.

Since I started school (Robin and school, huh? Is that possible. Well, it’s hard. But possible) I have to take the train. What time you ask? Too early. Way too early! I promise. When taking the train, I leave my bike at the train station. I have faith in this society and leave my bike. Locked very well. Or so I thought. Result:

Yes. Indeed. That’s right. That's my bike. Without a wheel. THEY STOLE MY FREAKING WHEEL!! WHO DOES THAT??

Sure, take it. It’s not that I was using it anyways. I don’t really need A FRONT WHEEL TO USE MY BIKE….

I don’t see the use of steeling just 1 wheel. Why don’t just get the whole thing.

And why MY wheel. I didn’t do wrong. And certainly not my wheel. She deserves better. It was a good wheel. I hope the ‘wheelthief’ treats my wheel very, very well. It was a good wheel. She deserves it.

Now I know you might get jealous at my beads. But hé, you can just buy it in a shop. They’re €5,-.

Well, after taking the bike home and hug it with all my love, I had to take it to the guy who makes bikes. You should have seen the faces on the way. Incredible. It’s cool, it must have looked pretty stupid!

It’s fixed now. My bike feels incomplete. It has a complete different front wheel. I guess I have to buy new breads. Ow wait, maybe not. It might get stolen again. I hope he stays away from my other wheel.

Dear Wheelthief,

Next time, when you see my bike, please take it and leave €70,- behind. Or just ask me where you can buy the awesome breads. Would spare me a lot of trouble. Thank you very much. Please treat my wheel good. It’s a good wheel! Love it, embrace it, use it well.

Thanks!
