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:

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.

I am back!!

SO I haven't been posting for a very long time. I apologize for that. I was busy with everything in my life really. I have been to LOKA's concert that I will write up a post for that later. I have also been to Firstlook, post will also come soon. Last but not least my small trip to Prague with my boyfriend. Busy, busy, also because I started a new school things have been a little bit hetic, but I will try to write more posts. Also I might write some post regarding the whole situation with SM entertainment in S.Korea. All will be on my opinion.

Photoshoot with KawaiiDelux (14/02/2014)

Back in September, KawaiiDeluxe has put up a contest for everyone. At that time I joined with an idea that I wont win anyway, but unexpectedly I won. I was one of the 3 winners. that were able to have a photo shoot with them. Of course I was very happy, but at the same time I was panicking what to wear or what to do. I never had an official photo shoot before. So months are passing by and the date is being announce, and then the place was announced. I was excited and nervous at the same time. As the date was getting closer and closer I finally got my outfits sorted.

On the day I met up with 2 other girls at the station and we went to the destination together. As we arrived we met the owner from KawaiiDelux and the photographer. Everyone was so nice and me feel very comfortable taking the pictures. As I was the first one up, I was very nervous not knowing what to do, but thank god to the extreme awesome and nice photographer. He gave me some tips for poses and I got fired away and took a lot of pictures. Time went by and it was time for my second outfit and some duo shots. At the end we did a group photo with everyone. I really enjoyed doing the photo shoot, it might not be something big but I enjoyed it.

Here are the pictures of me, more to come ^^
