50/50

Too much love in one video. Is that even possible. Well yes. Watch:

I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a crush on Zooey Deschanel. I have a crush on both. I saw the movie 50/50 yesterday and I fell in love with him. He is an amazing actor. Blew me away. The movie was wonderful! Go check it out. Also this. Too funny.

I've packed all my shizzles and now I am totally ready for 2012 and for my stay in London. I've packed 10 weeks into 1 big back and a small suitcase. Amazeballs! Happy New Year! Cheers

Only. One. Day. Left.

Today is my last day at home. I still have to pack all my stuff. Yes, last minute is my middle name. It is going to be so cool! I'm super stoked! For those of you who can read that weird language that is Dutch, I'll be posting travel stories here. For those of you who don't, too bad. I'll try posting some here. Probably with pictures. Yes!

If ever you miss me, just build a huge slide through the countryside and I'll jump in a plane immediately because I do not want to miss that! So this is goodbye. Goodbye. Happy New Year! Be safe. Love!

This one is about Christmas, winter, Russia and The Black Keys. Also, it's a chaos.

On the first day of Christmas my family gave to me... WAY to much food!! It was crazy!

Christmas is over. Sad face. Mine was so great. On the first day of Christmas my uncle dressed up as Santa Claus and welcomed us with some wine. Epic uncle!

After that we had 4 starters, 4 main menus and 4 deserts. It was craycray! So much food. I loved it! We had dinner from 5 pm till 11 pm. Insane! We had such a good time craving food and telling stories about how our dads used to take a bath in a giant bucket and share the water. Sweet! I love Christmas. EAT ALL THE FOOOOOOOD!!!

Since the Dutch society likes to have loads of food and loads of free time we have 2 Christmases! Huzaaaa! MORE FOOOOOOOD!!! And more family time! This time it was the family on my dad’s side. This family is cookoo crazy and I love it! We played charades and made so much noise. That family always gives me hope since all of them were single and a geek at my age. It runs in the family. Awesome!

As for the winter, it was suppose to be the coldest winter EVAH! Well, so far so good. It is not really cold. I mean I can’t wear my bikini outside but it is relatively warm for the end of December. But in case the winter will arrive somewhere in freaking February I am prepared:

Hells yeah, that is indeed my homemade scarf. Turned out pretty well didn’t it? Better than the bauble in the tree!

Hey Robin, what’s that on the background? You didn’t tell us about your awesome map of the world underneath your bed where you put pins on the places you've been! I didn’t? Gosh, I am terribly sorry. Here’s a better picture:

This map has a funny story about it because I bought the biggest one in the shop just because I really liked it. That wasn’t my smartest plan since I hadn’t measured any spare walls in my room. Turns out it was way too big for any wall in my room. Oops. Therefore we had to cut out some parts of New Zealand and some islands on the coast of America. Sorry ‘bout that.

Also, Russia is my main supply of electricity. Yups. Next time I’ll think before I buy!

Last but not least I’ll tell you a little story about what I figured out the other day. Whenever I leave for a long time I start picturing myself in outfits walking down the streets of my destination. Therefore I’m already planning my days left here and when I have to wash the clothes I want to take with me. So, if you see me walking around in weird clothes or you think they’re new… they’re probably not new, on contrary they will be super old because I have to keep my awesome clothes clean to take with me. *weirdo*

That was not the last story! Muhahahaha. Today I went shopping (more clothes to take with me) As I was walking down the main shopping street in the beautiful city that is Eindhoven I noticed that there were a lot of couples shopping. I also noticed that usually the men of the couples didn’t look very happy. I also saw that in the stores the men are usually sitting on chairs outside the fitting rooms with all the bags and the women are trying on mountains of clothes. It is a very funny sight. Usually I’m the one sitting outside the fitting rooms with a pile of bags while my mom tries on all her clothes.

Guys! Guys! I bought a new CD. It is the new Black Keys album and it is rocking my speakers, booooy! I’m one of the few people who still buy albums because I genuinely believe that the money still goes to the artists and I love the little books that are in the front!

So The Black Keys is a band that I found when I had one of my crazy days and bought a gazillion albums just by the covers. I do that sometimes. If I think ‘hey, that album looks cool. It is not expensive. Let’s buy that thaaang!’ I buy it! Sometimes the CD is awesome, sometimes it is whack. The Black Keys are awesome!

This is the album I bought on the looks

This is their new album. It says "Play Loud" How cool is that!

That was it. It was a chaos but I had so much to tell you and didn’t want to split it up into 10 posts. Deal with it.

I am overkilling you with blogs. Sorry. I love Andy Samberg.

Is wanted to save this for tomorrow but it is too funny not to share! The lonely island is a group I guess, not really a band, from Saturday Night Live.. That in itself is awesome. They have a song about Jack Sparrow. Check it out:

It is just too funny! Yeah that was kinda weird but we're back in the club *Keira Knightley*

Also, The Creep should be a mandatory dancemove from now on.

No can do, Coca Cola

I'm slightly disappointed in the new Coca-Cola commercial. I wish (and secretly thought) that it was the same commercial every year.. turns out it's not. Bummer! No worries though Coca-Cola, I'll just watch the best version on YouTube over and over again. It's fine, whatever.

Wait, what? After some research I just did I found out that they have a new commercial every single year. Geeesj Robin, Captain Obvious.. Hold it! The one I'm looking for seems to be invisible. It is the one with the grandfather and grandson.. yeah, very vague Robin, not really helping. ARGH! GOOGLE HELP ME OUT!

YES! FOUND IT!! FOUND IT!! Google, you never cease to amaze me. My description: 'coke commercial grandson grandfather christmas' Wicked smartass Google! Sidenote, try typing in 'let it snow' It is cooooool! (this word is very funny after you did it)

Anyhooooow, here is the commercial I think should be on television non-stop:

It is not Christmas until the Coca-Cola commercial is on! Preferably this one..

Walt Disney tribute. Booya!

Yesterday we had a Walt Disney party. Those parties are the best! Are you kidding me, Disney movies are the coolest! They only last for a little over an hour and they are so rockin' it!

Elianne had so many movies, but we couldn't watch them all! So we cut some out.. with all the pain in our hearts of course! We started with a gazillion movies and narrowed it down to 'only' 10.









We started with Jungle Book, which is a very good start to be honest!
After that we watched Beauty and the Beast. I am telling you, that Beast is super scary!
Next was Peter Pan. That was our least favorite because Wendy said 'Oh, Peter' at least once every 3 minutes. It became very annoying, specially when you repeat every 'Oh, Peter' she sais and add some 'Oh, Jan' and 'Oh, Michiel' (those are the Dutch names).
After that we went to get something to eat (fries and a snack) and during dinner we watched Mulan. That is the coolest movie! I never saw it but it's magical! I really loved that one. And Mulan is the prettiest Disney girl, if you ask me!
Next up was The Lion King which of course is very sad but Simba is very cuddle-able (I'm pretty sure that's not a word..)

During our little break we had we played a very violent game where we had to kill zombies. It was very scary!

If you think: damn, that sounds like fun! I want to be a part of that Disney-club asap! Well, this is what you have to do: 1. be really bad at guitar hero unless you own the game then you're aloud to kick-ass. 2. Burp really loud every once in a while. 3. Know at least 3 songs you can sing a long. 4. sing really bad otherwise you're not in.. and at last you have to be able to eat like an animal! That's all you have to do really! Sounds do-able (that is a word)! See you next time? Next one will take place in London.

CHRISTMAS TREE. CHRISTMAS TREE. CHRISTMAS TREE.

I love love LOVE Christmas trees. They're so cozy and it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling. Specially when you come down in the morning, it smells like the tree. Awesome! Decorating it is even more awesome! So here's a visual story about how I decorated Mr. Christmas Tree.

Before:

The cat loved Mr. Christmas Tree right from the beginning. She smelled him for about 15 minutes. Sweet!

The decorations all the way from some dusty corner in the loft.
You can all see the yellow-red knitted bauble in the front. Yes, that is indeed a homemade piece by yours truly, thank you very much.

The life long struggle with the christmas lights. We just trow them in the tree as one big light, otherwise we would still be decorating Mr. Tree.

Noooooo Christmas tree don't eat me! I'm too young to die! Nooooo!


The lights are on! Yes! Baubles you're next.


Oops.. two...

three down! Oopsie daisy!

Looking goooooood! Fuuut fuuuuut! (pssh, that's my bestie! She's so cool!)

No Mr. Christmas Tree without sweets! Very tempting!

Le finishing touch..

Voila! CHRISTMAS TREE. CHRISTMAS TREE. CHRISTMAS TREE.

too much pictures!!!!

Robin and her promises. Huzzaa!

Well, that is not a very good start. I apologize. Let's rewrite that promise: from now on until I leave I will TRY to blog daily about my leaving-butterflies! Today was very busy and yesterday was very long.. excuses, excuses. I know! Now I'm watching Juno so this won't be a long one. I'm writing this during commercials which gives me quite some time because the commercials are TOO FREAKING LONG!!

Tomorrow I'll give you a rather long story on the adventures of Josephine and Robin and Mr. Christmas Tree. Stay tuned!

Here's a song to keep you satisfied, the clip is sort of awkward..

Oh, commercials are over. Bye!

The countdown has begun.

Yesterday I saw the worst movie ever. It was called 'The heartbreak kid' with Ben Stiller. I'm not very fond of that guy but I thought I'd give it a shot because in the promo it looked like a really sweet, romantic movie. Boy, did that promo manipulate me. Never give that movie a shot. I'm sorry Ben, but is was not cool! The story was lame, the editing was horrible and the shots even worse. No, never again. 90 minutes of my life wasted. Why didn't you turn it off then, you might ask? Well, whenever I start a movie I want to know how it ends. The ending on this movie was the stupidest, most annoying, terrible, disgusting end EVER! UGH! I never really intensly hate a movie. I can usually find something good in any movie but this one was just hopeless. I tried. In the beginning I liked one caracter, but then she turned out to be an evil freak so I stopped liking her and since then it went downhill. I'm all about recommending shizzle so: I HIGHLY recommend you NOT to watch this movie.

To make up for these horrible 90 minutes I'm having a watch-all-your-favorite-Disney-movies-on-one-day-sunday. You jealous yet?


HELL YEAH!! Going back in time. It is going to be TOTALLY AWESOME!! An update will follow later (hopefully with some pictures)

The countdown has begun guys. Only 19 days left until I leave for London. I'll make a deal with you. From now on, until I leave I will blog daily about my countdown. You in? Good. See you tomorrow.
