~ I'm bored and I don't feel like sleeping.. ~

What to do when you're bored... *sigh*
To me the white sheet of an empty blog message is very alluring.. it makes me want to fill it with interesting stories! ^^ but it's usually not that interesting..
Just to make it more interesting, all types of games and question lists have been made by people who understand that blogging is very difficult when nothing big really happens in your life.. *breath in, breath out* ..but to be different from all the other blogs, you have to be unique.. *question mark, troubled expression* .. so you make your OWN LIST! X'D *slaps forehead*..

*cough* So that's what I'll do.. ^ー^"
It'll have only 3 questions..

1) What are you happy about?
Right now, I'm happy that my parents approve about me auditioning for the Film Academy next year.. ^^ I'm also happy that my photo camera (yes, I use a PHOTO camera to make MOVIES! XD) works with an file extention that is compatible with my computer! =D In that way I don't have to move mountains to get my vids done! ^^

2) What are you unhappy about?
I'm unhappy about my parents disapproving about my plans for the next year.. because I can't audition for the coming year at the Film Academy, I figured I wanted to spend the coming year going to Indonesia, stay with my family there, work a job and making vids during my free time.. (a great plan! ^^ At least, that's what I think).. but my parents think I should stay in my current study, to finish 2nd year of MIC, although that wouldn't get me a higher educational grade.. but I guess they have a point when they say I should finish 2nd year, because it's not sure I make it through the audition, so might I be rejected I can start at 3rd year of MIC.. *sigh* I just really hoped I could go to Indo~

3) What are you going to do?
Right now, I'm going to post this, log off and sleep.. Tomorrow, I'll be waking up early, start making some homework, maybe think of some script and leave for school.. When I get back, I'm afraid I have to play piano and then STUDY, STUDY, STUDY! =( I so dislike school now.. I'm not really motivated anymore.. but, I'll finish this year well and then I'm going to enjoy my summer vacation! ^^

That was my question thing..

I read one of my previous posts and in that post I was ranting about my stress for the Pitch I had to do.. I figured I should also tell you how it ended! ^^
I made a powerpoint presentation and I kept a paper with me, so in the end I was able to do well! =)
I really improved and that should count! ^^ Actually, I still was nervous like crazy and when I started my voice shot up from the nervousness! =X
Luckily nobody noticed, because I started my pitch with reading a small piece of my own story, which started with the word "Hey!" XD and that was exactly when my voice decided to octavate.. Keke!

Now I'd better go to sleep.. =)

*ANNYONG~!* (v^ー°)

Take it easy.. drink Iced tea! ^^ .. & eat a cookie! xD

I have to confess something!
^^ I like writing in English more than I like writing in my own language! =X
That's mainly the reason I started blogging in English.. ^^
Of course I can reach a broader reader's base this way.. but it's not like I have many readers.. do I? xD

Okay, so I'm hooked to writing in English! =X ^^'

^^ 'kay confession time 's over! =P

Today I had the urge to blog.. I don't know about what.. but some ideas crawl around in my head..
I'd better catch a good one! ^^'

*till so far not caught any*

*cough*

I'm distracted..
If it goes like this I'd better quit.. xD

PING! ^^
Got one! =)

I once had the idea to list down ten things that keep cracking me up.. ^^
I know it's going to be a difficult thing to do, but I'll try! =D
The list will not be from funniest to less funny, because that'll make it really difficult for me! ^^'
Here it is:

~1. My dad's weird things xD.. today he was pissed because he had made a mistake with the door he was installing.. he had placed it the wrong side out.. ^^ that actually was an approvement (his statement), but he couldn't get around the fact that he had not planned it that way and only found out after installing it completely! xD
~2. The English accents of DBSK, SuJu, Ss501, SHINee and all the rest of Korean artists xD
~3. Get married (Indo movie)
~4. The dramas of DBSK & SuJu
~5. Me and my sister being dorky together.. ^^ Alreet XD (sorry inside joke^^')
~6. Indonesian words that resemble Dutch words
~7. Sue Limbs books! ^^ "Girl, 15, beautiful but insane" & the sequel
~8. HeeChul's blog! ^^ =P
~9. The only guy in my project group being troubled because he thinks he's being affected by the fact he only works with girls xD.. He made a pony tail in his hair today ^^' I think he IS affected by us.. keke! xD
~10. Certain fanfics, like "Let's not" and "Love Vs. Love"

My list might not be that funny.. ^^' I know..
I'm a bit tired and my inspiration is nearly gone.. =(

=D I caught another idea! xD
I think it was yesterday.. =P when I was talking with my boyfriend about something very interesting! ^^ Our conversations are always interesting! ^^ =P
It was about dreams.. =)

I think I have weird dreams.. I know dreams are always at least a bit weird.. but mine are never even slightly credible!!
There was a time when I would write down dreams I could remember in the morning.. ^^
I still have those dreams written down in a dummy! =P
Last night I took the dummy and read a few.. the first is from 2002! ^^' It's kind of long ago! xP

Let me share some dreams with you: ^^' warning.. they're weird and to top that off.. I took the weirdest few of them all! ^^'

~ November 2002 I was at school with my parents, we were attending some information gathering.. I was bored and went to the restroom, to empty a bucket of pee (yuk! why would I bother?!) . In the restroom was a dirty clothed man.. a beggar, so it seemed. I was scared of him, (in dreams the feelings of like or dislike are even sharper than in real life!) The man asked me my name, so I answered and wanted to leave. The man blocked my way and said: "I won't let you go this easy. Where do you live?" I told him the right street, but the wrong number, then I went back to my parents. I sat close to my mum and dad. Suddenly the man come back and paralysed my parents and me, saying I wasn't being honest to him and thus he was going to be nasty on me! He took a clothespin and started hanging my parents and me on a clothesline.. while saying: "If you hang it like this, it'll be the best.."

~ October 2004 I was at the Central station of Utrecht with my sister when there arrived a train with ex-prisoners. They were stacked in plastic bags like they were dead, which they weren't. Between the rails were another 2 bags, which lay there unnoticed. When the train had departed the 2 bags were ripped open and 2 armed men were shouting for us to clear the platform. On both sides the platform became deserted. Suddenly there was a third man. He screamed something like "I'll catch." My sister and I ran into the McDonalds. When we ordered fries the men came in. The quiet prisoner was talking to the 3rd man and the rough prisoner asked us: "Where's your mother?" A bit taken aback my sister and I answered: "At home!" The quiet prisoner came to us with a newspaper article, showing us a photo asking if we knew who it was.. I recognized the person and said it was Steffani, a girl from my class.. Then I went to the desk of MacDonalds and bought 7 Swiss bank notes. (never knew that MacDonalds dealed in currency exchange xD) Then my mum said they would be helpful if I wanted to go to Switzerland. After that me and the quiet prisoner went outside. I told he him he didn't look like a criminal, and went to sit on his lap.. then I whispered: "All you need is a little bit of love.." (was I hitting on a criminal?! *twitches eyes* O_o That's sooo not me!) When I had said those words he put the gun to my head. I got up from his lap and sat down on the step, saying: "You scare me, please put the gun away.." Then the prisoner told me he never wanted to hear 'the word' anymore, because his dad had died. With that he showed me the article again.. the announcement of his dad dying was beneath the photo of Steffani.

That were 2 very detailed dreams I've had.. ^^ I know.
It's because I wrote them down as soon as I woke up..
Nowadays I have dreamed a lot less, I also don't have the time to write them down in the morning.. ^^'
Nowadays I'm always troubled getting up and try to stay in bed as long as I can permit.. xD

I think I'd better sleep now.. ^^ It's getting late and I have to wake up at 8:00 am tomorrow! ^^'
I'm spending my day off in Amsterdam with a friend.. and we have agreed to meet up early, because she has to be home at 2:00 pm.

Next time I'll blog I'll pick a topic before hand.. ^^ so I won't have to share some stupid crap.. ^^'

Alreet! (sorry same inside joke xD) I'm going! *waves*

Byebye!
AnNyoung!
Sampai bertemu lagi!

Auf wiedersehn!

"Brilliant workings of the mind!!" Sounds cool, eh? ^^

And that's just what I was going to blog about today! ^^ keke..
Well, tonight.. since it's already 9:20 pm at my place.. (-┏)
Knowing myself, I'll probably finish this blog about half an hour later.. ㅡㅡㆀ

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh..
*ehum..*
Sorry, just had to let it out xD No really, just don't notice.. xP

I was wondering, have you ever had little self-invented sentences pop up in your head?
*hopes she's not the only one*..
Well, I did.. ^^'
Quite frequently too.. ㅡㅡㆀ
- You might be reading the random writings of a crazy girl! -
But then... you probably already knew.. ^-^

With these sentences I mean something like this:
"Messy yet Classy.." *That's one I like so I remembered it xD*
I think of that one to fit me well... *grins widely*

These days, I'm feeling kind of tired actually..
My whole being is focused on my study!
I might just wake up in the middle of the night, starting to read a study book in my unconsious state of mind.. xD
You know how your brain processes all happenings of your day when you sleep.
The happening of school might just prove to be a tough one! ^^

At days when I have nothing to do but school I silently wish something to happen! ^^'
It's basic logic, eh? ㅡㅡㆀ
These silent wishes grow so loud, that I actually can't wait for the weekend, any weekend..
It even makes me long for the past days! ㅡㅡㆀ

Want to know where I was the 2 days I didn't blog? xD
I had a "Goodbye party"..
A friend of me is going to work in Italy for a year, (FYI; that's about as far as Korea is from Japan)..
The party was in the evening, we held a barbecue at her house! ^-^
I had to bring the fruit, which I bought an hour before the party started.. ^^' I had too, since I couldn't take it to school with me, so I had to buy it after school.. =P

In the evening we gave a book with photos and personal messages to our friend and then we went warming marshmallows above a fire! =D *yummy!!*

Elisa, if you're reading this: I hope you're having a great time in Italy! You have the best weather of us all! xD Pas op voor de schoonmoeders hè? Haha.. =P
*Sorry for adding the Dutch sentence.. if I say it in English, you'll still need the background information to get what I'm saying.. =X Hope you understand*

After the party I slept at another friend's house.. ^-^ I had a great time! ^v^

I'm still looking back at it and smiling.. (-┏)

The next free day is on Wednesday! ^^ I'll be hooking up with friends then too!! Keke.. ^^
I'll be going to the capital city of our country (Amsterdam) and shop!!
Althought I don't have a cent to spend.. (-┏)
Actually, I do have something left, but I don't want to spend it all..
Some things I do have to buy..
- A present for Mariska (who's birthday party will be next saturday)
- A present for Danny (the twin brother of Mariska, same party)
- A pair of jeans.. ^^ I really need one! *looks innocent* (^-^)v

*(^-^)*
*does cheery dance*
I actually have a lot of niceties coming up! xD
*looks forward*

You know something funny?
A classmate of me made a funny drawing of the economy teacher today! xD
It resembled a lot, he's good! ^-^

It's now 10:15 pm, I need to SLEEP
Really, tomorrow I have to leave the house at 7:00 am!! Ô_Ô
I hope I won't fall asleep in class tomorrow! ㅡㅡㆀ
That would be so typical.. (-┏) Yet FUN!! (^-^)=b

Byebye!! *waves*

Sports.. "Yay! and warm your muscles"? or.. "Aaah! Where can I hide?!"?

As I promised in yesterdays blog entry.. I would blog about something fun! ^^
As long as I didn't forget.. which I obviously didn't! xD

So, the topic of today is "sports"..
As not many of you know, I'm allergic to sport..
*cough, liar, cough*
^^' No, I'm not allergic to sport, but I'm not really fond of it either..

There are some sports I actually do enjoy though! ^^
One of them is dancing and the other is unihockey! =)
I don't know if you know what sport "unihockey" is, but it resembles regular hockey a lot..
It's indoors, played with a ball instead of a puck.. ^^
It's a lot easier!

I'm glad I don't have to follow PE class anymore! *grins widely*
When we had PE indoors, it was okay, but when we had PE outdoors.. *winces at the memories*
I totally disliked those classes!! We would always play baseball, which is something I just can't play! =X
We were entitled to be in both teams once..
We had to hit the ball or stand in the field.. -_-'

When I had to hit the ball it would either not get hit or never see the field.. =X
If I could hit it, I wouldn't be able to send it in the right direction! ^^'

Once I had to stand in the field and I really didn't want to participate in the game, so I thought I was smart to go all the way to the back of the field..

...
Well...
I thought I was smart, but then some *&^%@^%$ boy, who had practised baseball hit the ball real hard and I had to run for it.. -_-'
So I ran for it trying not to lose that big sweaty hand"SHOE".. Keke..
I picked up the ball, gathered all my strength... and threw it 3 meters far.. -_-'
*repeated that for 3 times..*
Anyway.. they ended up running towards me to get the ball in the field, instead of me bringing the ball back! ^^'

My sister has had her PE class a few days ago, and that's how we got to this topic xD..
Turns out.. she has the same problems as I have when playing baseball! xP
She told me she had to be the catcher, but she didn't memorize the rules of the game.. =P
They are complicated! ^^
But if there is anyone on the field who has to know those rules the best, it's got to be the catcher!!! xD

We talked about this topic together over diner and we were wondering..
Does this strength issue got to do anything with being Asian?! ^^
I mean, we are just 1/4 Asian, but we have an Asian build..

Getting to that, we wondered, are Asian people good at sports?
^^ I know, of course there are!! =P matter of fact, I can call out the names of at least 5 persons (not related to sports) that are Asian and good at sports! =)
You know how some countries are known for their sports..
Like the US for American Football, Japan for Sumo wrestling, the Dutch for ice-skating, the French for the "Tour de France" and so on..
Well, my sister and I were wondering which sport would be known for Korea! ^^
I looked it up and.. I could have known -_-' It's TaeKwonDo!! =D
I knew, I knew, I KNE-HEW!! *jumps*

*cough*
My sister is fixing her jaw... it dropped.. Keke..

Anyway.. I'm alone again.. My sister went to sleep..
*envy! I want to go to sleep tooooooo!!!*
ahem.. *poses herself..*
I'll finish this first! =)

Yesterday over diner we were talking about sports, as you have read..
At a certain point my sister and I bacame a little crazy.. ^^'
Keke.. we made this thing: ^^' To be taken lightly of course! *wink*

How to become a Sumo wrestler:
Step 1:
Start off practising Martial Arts for a few years..
Step 2:
When you have practised for some years start eating as much as you can..
Tip: Not excersising accelerates the process!
Step 3:
You can't afford to lose weight, so minimalize your movements!
Step 4:
When your size matches the door post even if you suck your belly in, try out for the Sumo team! ;) Good luck!! =D

WARNING: IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A SUMO-WRESTLER, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T USE THESE TIPS ABOVE.. AND FOR YOU JACKASSES OUT THERE, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME (OR ANY PLACE FOR THAT MATTER)!!! ;)

^^' Keke.. So you can tell..
Me and my sister were having fun! ^^ Just as much as me posting this! xD

But, I'm going to feed my sweet little rabbit now! ^^
She's keeping an "ear" on me! xD
Really, she has one ear lifted in my direction! ^^'
She is hungry!! =D Or just graving for some attention! =P
As of stating the opposite.. she's started drinking! -_-'

Well, I'll be gone now!! =)
Annyoung!! *waves*

The life of a student..

Hi everyone, I'm back after having a blog-entry-free-day! xD
I'm itching for some colorful blog entry! ^^

To be honest, I didn't have time to blog yesterday..
The reason: I was with family.. ^^
I was with my parents and sister at my aunt's place.
My cousin and I both started a new school this year =P
I started college and my cousin started high school! xD
I know ^^' There's a big difference..

Anyway, the topic of this blog entry is the difference between being a schoolgirl/-boy and being a student..
As you probably already know.. I like to list things.. so I'll just make a list ^^'

~ Differences between schoolgirls/-boys and students: ~
1. Students have less books! ^^ It's true!!
2. Schoolboys and -girls get more useless assignments and more accompaniment from teachers than students.
3. Students have more freedom and more responsibility.
4. Schoolgirls and -boys are looking for best friends, students are looking for connections..
5. Students call their teachers by the last name, schoolboys and -girls call their teachers by the first name.. (in the Netherlands, that is..)
6. Students complain more.. =X
7. Students are older (NO! REALLY??? (Ô_Ô) )

Okay, I don't know anymore.. -_-'
But I think this topic is pretty lame..
Anyway, I'll write about something else.. ^^ 'kay?

My project group has expanded some more..
I don't know if I wrote that already, but there's a guy in our group now..
Last week he joined our group.. but today a new person joined. =)
Our group is currently the biggest in the class! O_O
We started this year with:
- Group A: 6 persons
- Group B: 4 persons
- Group C (mine): 5 persons
- Group D: 3 persons
After the first week 3 persons had joined the class, 2 at group B and 1 at our group..
But now, another 2 persons joined the class! xD
I don't mind it though, I like having new classmates! =)

Tomorrow I need to get up really early!! I have to leave my house at 7:00 am!! Ô_Ô
I wonder how I'll do that! xD It means I have to get up at 6:30 at least, maybe even earlier!!
*Doesn't believe her own words anymore.. Looks at her school schedule*
It's really that early!!
My school starts at 8:30, but I have to travel for 90 minutes, so.. you can figure it out, keke.. ^^'

You know, being in college is actually really relaxing! =D
I have a few hours of school (today it was just 50 minutes) and then I go home, do some homework and finished!! =)
I know, it's just the start of the year, so there is not that much I can do yet, but still, in high school I would have had a lot more hours of following classes!! ^^

I'm tired of sitting on this chair.. -_-'
I'm going to quit writing now....
ANNYOUNG!!! *smiles and waves*

Woaaah! I have a taste for tea right now! ^^' Keke..
Hmm not much of a different topic, eh?
I'll write about something fun tomorrow! ^^ (if I don't forget! O_O)

~~~~~X~~~x~~~X~~~~~
Always keep the faith.. DBSK FIGHTING! *~Maria

Weekend already!! =D

Today has been my second day at school.. ^^
School was nice, I like it..
=X Never thought I would say that! O_O
I'm really nerdy now...
Anywayyyy, I think I'll be posting shorter blogs from now on..
because:
1. I have school and it's draining the time out of my day!
2. let's be honest, I write about the most random and daily stuff (maybe that's what you really like reading xD I don't know, I like writing it ^^)
3. I should stop listing, because there is no "3"!! =X
4. ... and no "4".. ^_^"

Yeah, well.. that was it..

OMG!! I'm already working for a project!! O_O and it's a real project! The client is nobody less than "De Volkskrant" (a Dutch national newspaper!)
You see, nowadays almost nobody reads a newspaper where you have to pay for!
"De Volkskrant" wants to reach people between the age of 24 and 30 too, but apparently the paper doesn't appeal much to them..
So, it's our job to make a new product for "De Volkskrant" which will appeal to people between the age of 24 and 30! ^^ We have to find out what they would like in a newspaper, what they dislike and what new methodes of promoting and refining the product..

Sorry not much for today.. ^O^ *yawns*
I'm tired, I want to sleep now..
I'll stop the coloring thing now.. It takes a lot of time.. which I don't have anymore...
Byebye!! *waves* Tomorrow I have a day off!! ^^ and I'm going to Almere (city) with a friend of mine.. but I can't go shopping.. cause I'm broke.. =(
I had to pay for my study and my books (I'll get it back from my mum, but not soon..)

Now I really, really leave! Keke.. ANNYOUNG!! ^^

Picking up my FREE STUDENT TRAVEL PASS!!!

Like I have written in my blog yesterday (or was it the day before? *scratches head*), I had to drag my lazy self to the post office today...
Well, that's not exactly what happened! ^^
I got up at 11:00 am today, which is kind of late already.. but let's ignore that fact, 'kay? ^^"

Since my sister planned to meet up with friends in Amsterdam (the capital city of our country, we live like a 40-minute train ride away..), she was already up, watching a show of Super Junior on youtube.. It was Unbelievable Outing!! ^^ Love that show, although it gets kind of violent at times o_O.. Well, boys will be boys, eh? ^^

So I got up and watched it with her.. I'm kind of nosy towards my sister.. I want to know what she's doing! ^^ And it rewards, because sometimes she finds something very interesting.. =P
So I watched with her, until I remembered she had planned to spend the day in Amsterdam and it was already past 11:00 am..
I asked when she wanted to leave and she said she had still half an hour..
And with that she turned off her computer.. -_-" No UO for me anymore...

And then we had this conversation (it's not really the same words, but it kind of went like this):
Maria: You can't park your bicycle on the old spot anymore, you know that right?
Irene: Eh? What? Yeah, yeah.. *doing other things*
Maria: You have to park it at the newly opened stalls on the other side of the train station..
Irene: Huh? *still doing something else, but realizing she has to do something different with her bicycle*

Sometime later (my sister was still at home, but had now 15 minutes left)..
Maria: You don't know where it is, right?
Irene: *shrug* Not really..
Maria: Okay, wait, I'll show you, I have to go that way anyway..

So that's how I went to pick up my free student travel pass..
I went with my sister to show her the place to leave her bicycle and then went further to the post office..

At the post office, my first thoughts were.. "Oh no, it's closed again! O_O"
That was until I saw someone enter the building xD.. I think the fanfics have altered a new sense for drama in me.. ^^
Well, maybe not only the fanfics, but the J/K- drama's too.. ^^
I like to watch them from time to time, I'm not really an addict of those drama's, but I do enjoy them a lot!! =D
Someone at the site from where I learn a bit Korean once said she doesn't allow herself to watch Korean drama's because they affect the mind! xD
She said they make people believe in love at first sight and the perfect lover and such, while it's really rare to fall in love at first sight (and find the love returned), and meeting the perfect lover is even rarer..
I think she's right.. but the real dreamer (read: people like me) doesn't need a K-drama to believe in such mushy and romantic stuff! ^^
I think it's fair to say that every fangirl loving an idol will fall into the category of real dreamer! (no offense!! I'm one myself!!^^)

I think I lost touch with the title... ^^'
This was really off topic.. but I don't care! =)

To continue my story.. I entered the building too and was immediately confronted with a machine that offered me to get a number..
Nice.. I really don't like those systems, but I guess it's efficient..
So I took a look at the machine and I was confused immediately..
Why would they have two arrows and no explanation?! o_O
I should have made a photo and show it to you! xD You would have totally understood why I was confused..
There was a green arrow above, pointing to the right.. and there was a large red arrow pointing downwards to where the number would come out..
One of the arrows was the one to get the number..
The color green said it must be that arrow, but the RED arrow was pointing in the right direction! o_O
In the end I picked green and it was, fortunately, the right one! ^^
Lucky for me, I didn't have to wait very long.. My number was 108 and there were 2 desks, where number 105 and 106 were currently getting their business done..
Getting my free student travel pass was easy! ^^
After that I went home..

The rest of the day I was being boring xD I won't tell everything..
It all comes down to this.. I was writing my fanfics, checking my mail, hanging around the house and doing nothing xD
It was just too warm to do anything! o_O It was like 24 degrees Celcius, but it felt like a lot more because it was humid.. I like hot weather, but only if I'm still able to move and breath without much effort xD..
I'm just too lazy for humid weather.. ^^"

I'll stop here.. ^^ Byebye!! *waves and yawns* I'm tired!
