Pinkpop (14/07/2015)

Unfortunately I only went one day due to family parties. So went on sunday, the day that my bf really wanted to go because of Rise Against. Pinkpop is my first festival, so i didn't know what to expect. Also a week before I injured me leg and the day before I injured my foot. Yes I know I am clumsy. But I got tickets for it so I didn't let my injuries get in the way. When we arrived it was already in the afternoon so we didn't spend a lot of time there. We saw Rise Against, One Republic and some act where we happen to walk by. The sun was shinning so it was super warm that day.

Actually I don't know what to write since it was such a short day at the festival. Hopefully next time I can go without any injuries and 3 full days.

London (20/12/2014)

So to celebrate our 1 year anniversary my boyfriend came with a surprise. A weekend away to London, England. But he accidentally slipped it away so it wasn't a surprise anymore. But to make it up he came with another surprise. He invited my cousins from Manchester to celebrate with us. I was really surprised to see them at the hotel lobby.

We spend a day together in London, we went to some places for old memories and of course we went to Camden Market afterwards. We went to some stores, bought some stuff. And we went to the pub for a bit. and when it was getting late we went to an Japanese restaurant, specializes in ramen and bento boxes. Soon we retreated back to the hotel and my cousins left.

The next day we went by the London eye and then we went to the winter market before we headed to the airport. The winter market is really nice, atmosphere. Unfortunately that we were tired and had our luggage's with us, if not it would have been more fun.

Ganglion @ Patronaat, Haarlem, Netherlands (02/04/2015)

Well what can I say. I have been a fan of them since the beginning. I was so excited to see that they were coming to the Netherlands. That day I had school so it was rushing home to get changed and rushing to Haarlem to meet up with my friends. When I met up with my friend, we walked to the venue. We were like 2 hours early and there were like about 5 people outside the venue waiting.

Time went by, more people arrived. Soon we were waiting for the doors to open. Once we got inside, like usual hanging up coats and bags. We went inside and 2 support bands were playing first, Sway and Lesoire. Personally they aren't my type of music, so I was messing around with my friends.

The time came that Ganglion was on stage, and everyone was screaming from excitement. They played their popular songs like "Distance", "Black Out", "Koufuku no Seori " etc. they also played some new songs.

When they finished playing, of course I went to buy merchandise. Afterwards I asked if they can sign the merschandise I bought and they were really happy to do it. Afterwards I also got on the picture with them.

ADAMS @ 330Live, The Hague, Netherlands (15/03/2015)

Unfortunately this post won't be long because the concert was quite short.

Like usual I arrive with friends at the venue. 330Live is a small place, so it doesn't matter where you stand you can see everything. Except if someone taller than you stand in front of you. Before they started playing I was talking to some friends I haven't seen in a while.

When ADAMS got on stage it got hot straight away. They played song after song. At some point it was so warm that Shota said that if we take our clothes of then they will. Straight away a guy at the back took his shirt of. ADAMS didn't take their shirts off but Shota did unbuttons Adam's shirt.

After their performance you can buy some merchandise and get them singed and take a picture with them. For the first time for me that a concert finished so early. So walked back to the station with 2 friends. Only after a while we noticed that we are walking circles around the church. After we noticed that, we went on the right track to the station.

One Ok Rock @ Melkweg, Amsterdam (13/12/2014)

First thing first, Sorry that I am posting this like a year late, I have been busy with all kind of stuff. But I will slowly pick up my blogging again!

Well first I arrived almost late, and the queue was super long. Thank god I had a friend who was already standing in the queue, so we joined him. Door opened quite fast afterwards. Once we got inside, i went to hang up my coat and bag up first. Trying to find a good place in the crowd.

There were support bands playing, so the crowd wasn't that crowded yet. Mallory Knox were playing first and the Tonight Alive. I have never heard of them before, so I didn't know what I was expecting. To my surprise they we quite good. Of course as time passes I slowly moved to the front. By the time One Ok Rock were playing I was quite close to the stage,

Since they haven't release a lot of new materials, they started playing some old songs. I was able to sing every single one they played. Half way through they did some solos and played Mighty Long Fall their new song. After they were finished, they thanked everyone and got of stage. Of course no one is accepting that and started shouting "encore" after 5 minutes they came back on stage and played "Wherever you are".

After they were done officially we went to get some merchandise of course. I even got to take a foto with some members from Mallory Knox.

Venice, Italy 2015

Ok so I know that still have like 4 post to write, but I want to write this one first. Its actually travel post I am writing I think.

I went to Venice for a week, from May 7th till May 14th. My plane to Venice was quite late, so when we arrived we just took the taxi to our resting place, Camping Village Jolly. I am not going into details regarding the camping much as I have a very negative review about it.

Lets go and talk about the trip itself. First day was pretty much figuring out what to do and just looking around. Having a small walk around to see what there are to see. We quickly decided that we will split it in parts to see on different days.

The next day we went to a different part, walked around saw a lot, ate a lot which could not be left out of course. Everyday we did the same thing, went on the waterbus which was a lot of fun. I didn't ride the Gandol because I have read online that its very expensive. So we decided to skip that. We also came across a mask shop that was hand made by the owner. I got a little souvenir for myself as I really wanted a mask. Instead of getting a big mask I got a small one made out of clay since its easier to fit in the suitcase.

Days goes by, and saw many things. On the day of my boyfriend's birthday we went to visit the little islands Murano, Burano, Torchello. It was very interesting to see that ever island has their own speciality. Soon the dawn approached us and we went for dinner. Food is delicious like always. And soon after we saw Venice at night.

Soon are trip was coming to an end. We have seen a lot, eaten a lot and enjoyd a lot.

Here are some pictures I have taken, please do not take them without permission as I have taken them all by myself!

 

 

 

Escape the Fate @ Melkweg, Amsterdam, (23/10/2014)

Before I start talking about the concert. I was so excited that I went to the venue a day before and thinking that it was the day of the concert. I arrived at the venue with my bf and the the security told us that that the "party" was tomorrow. I was feeling so bad at the rest of the day. XD

BUT! It doesn't matter though. So on the actual day I went to it again with my boyfriend. There were two support bands playing. Glamour of the Kill and New years Day. I quite like them. When we arrived there weren't many people because of the support bands. But I was curious what they are like so we went there any ways.

New years Day were the first one to play. I quite like the vocals. They played for about 30 mins or so. Not very long. Soon after Glamour of the Kill played. They also played for about 30 mins. In between were about 15 mins for the equipment change and sound check. Slowly more people came into the venue. Not very long afterwards Escape the Fate played. They played some new songs and some old songs. It was extremely awesome as I have know them for a super long time. I have enjoyed the concert so much, would love to see them again. Of course there was a moshpit and my boyfriend keep disappearing into it. I was quite funny to see.

Prague (18/08/2014 - 20/08/2014)

So Back in June 2014 I heard that I won a trip for 2 people for a weekend to Prague, Czech Replublc. I was very happy with it. It would be the first trip with my boyfriend. I got extremely excited and without doubt I made sure too make the choices regarding the trip. Afterwards it was waiting, waiting till the day.

On 17 August 2014 at night we went to the meeting point to get on to the bus. It took less that half an hour before we left. When we left it was night, so all I did was sleeping actually. When I woke up it was morning already but we weren't in Prague yet. I was like another 5 hours ride with the bus. The total bus ride was about 11 hours or so. We were getting an hour break every 2 a 3 hours of bus ride, so that people could go to toilets and have a cigarette.

When we arrived in Prague we first went to a 3* hotel where the basic instructions were given, afterwards some people (including me and my bf) went to the 4* hotel. As the first day we got to do what we want, so we went to a nearby shopping mall with some other people who travelled together with the bus with us. We didn't do much at the shopping mall, just have a quick look around and getting some money.

Afterwards we went back to the hotel and soon enough it was day 2.

The second day we decided to go with the tour bus to see the historical parts of Prague. We saw some interesting buildings and heard some interesting history facts. As we got through the old city part. At night we went to a restaurant, honestly the food there wasn't nice at all. It was cold and dry. I forgot the name of the restaurant, so I won't be able to tell you guys.

On our third and last day, we met up with a friend of my bf that lives in Prague. We went to the lookout tower. Also known as the copy of Eiffel tower. It almost took us 3 hours to get there because we decided to walk there. Also I was pretty much worn out already so it took me much longer to walk. But at the end we got there and got on top of the tower and we took some photo's. The view from up there is so pretty. A huge recommendation to everyone to go there.

It was a lovely 3 days that I had in Prague, Would love to go again in the future.

LOKA @ Musicon, The Hague, Netherlands (28/06/2014)

Okay, first thing first I know this is from last year but I am posting it any ways!

So I arrived at the venue/place about an hour early. I saw some friends, chatted a bit and getting very excited. I missed them the first time they came to the Netherlands, so no matter what I wanted to see them this time. Also I got an interview with them.

When the doors finally opened, we got inside. There were 2 support bands. The first one Good Valley, I quite like them. The second band, Buzz Rockington I didn't like their sound much. While the second band was playing, I went backstage to interwiew LOKA.

Interview with LOKA:
http://www.vkh-press.com/2014/07/interview-with-loka.html

LOKA was one of the most outgoing band I have interviewed so far. I felt extremely relaxed, made some jokes and talked about football.

When I was done interviewing them I got outside again and waited for them to play. One thing is sure they know how to get the crows excited.

A new discovery

Okay, so its actually not a new discovery but it is a personal new discovery. So last monday I went into the city of Amsterdam and decided to visit Waterstones. Something I haven't done for a while. As I went in, I was frozen on the spot as I saw three bookcases full with classical stories. I was in awe. I was having a look but soon I realise that I have picked too many books that I want. As I don't have that many money and was actually hunting for a birthday present for my little brother. I had no other choice but to put the books back into the shelves. As the end I bought a book set for my little brother and bought 3 classical books for myself.

Brothers Grimm Collections of Fairy Tales

Alice in Wonderland and Through the looking Glass

Monkey

It was a shame that I wasn't able to by more, but I am very happy with what I bought at the end. Especially Brothers Grimm as I have been looking for it for a very long time.
