I'll spend my Christmas with you...

Ho ho ho, merry Christmas everybody!
I love this day, my favourite day of the year. For the first time it's a white Christmas! The snow is allready melting, but I can still see it.

Today family is coming over for dinner and also for all the presents. I allready received a few gifts from my parents this morning: a DVD ("School of Rock"), nail varnish, a blue nose friend, a cool ballpoint, chocolate and an alarm clock.

I also love watching Coca Cola commercials in Christmas style with the amazing trucks!

A moment, a love, a dream, a laugh

Sorry! I know it's a really long time ago I posted something, but here we go. I'll tell you what I've done lately. Not much actually.

First of all I had exams and for quite a long time: spread over three weeks. Last Friday I got my results and I was really relieved, because it was good :)
I've also went a few times to the movies. The problem is that I have a bad memory, so I forgot a few movies I've seen lately. I do remember (500) days of summer which was very good and Avater. I liked this last one aswell. In october I also saw the animated movie Up. Very funny :) Now I'm ready to watch Christmas movies!
Last Saturday I went to Brussels to a concert of The Temper Trap. I like a lot of Australian bands and artists so I was really glad to go. They were very good! An amazing singer. I hope they'll make a lot of other good music, but I'm quite sure of it.
Other things I've done last week were Christmas markets. I went to Brussels, Grimbergen and Lille.
Today I went shopping with my sister in Brussels. I'm really in need of winter clothes, but it's so hard to find. I'm happy I finally found a new blouse :)
Further, I'm just looking forward to Christmas even if I don't feel like Christmas time actually. However, I like to receive presents :)

Happy B-day!

Happy Birthday, Liselot!
I know you allready turned 16 this monday, but I have been quite busy because we both have exams now at school.
But still ... congratulations with your sixteenth birthday! ;)

You're my own papillon

A week ago Editors were in Belgium for a gig, but they also came to the Fnac of Brussels that day. I'm not a really big Editors fan, but my sister is. So I went with her. I didn't had any CD's to get signed, but my sister and I are both on a picture with Tom Smith :)

You can't play on broken strings

Last monday I went to see James Morrison at the Ancienne Belgique. As I expected, he's a very good singer. The audience was very enthusiastic. Also James was, that's why I think he must be nice as person aswell :) My friend Sarah and I enjoyed it!

21st Century Breakdown

Finally! Finally it was 17 October. I was already waiting for so many months untill it was Green Day. Yesterday Liselot and I saw them at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. Green Day was the first band I really really loved! So I'm very happy they came to Belgium. The gig yesterday was amazing! They played 2 hours and 30 minutes. Of course they played some songs of the newest album but they also played a lot of songs of American Idiot and older. The concert was quite long, but I wouldn't mind if they had played longer :) I really hope I will ever be able to see Green Day again, because it was very nice!

Wake me up when the blue bells are ringing

Saturday I went to a concert of Patrick Wolf with my sister. I allready saw him at Pukkelpop this year, but then I didn't know yet a lot of songs. I really liked the gig, so last months I've been listening to Patrick Wolf quite a lot. Also this time he was very good! He played a lot of good songs, like Bluebells, The Bachelor, The Magic Position and Lands End. I'm just a little sad he didn't play Vulture, because he had to go :( ! But maybe he will when I'll see him next time :) ( I hope there will be a next time ^^)

By the way... he was wearing some nice outfits :p
