top 3 Christmas songs

My personal top 3 of Christmas songs. It was supposed to be a top 10, but I'm not very into Christmas songs. And from now on I'm not going to write posts until the holidays are over. I've got some picture posts planned out for you guys, because I know during the holidays no one reads blogs and after the holidays no one is interested in holiday posts.

1) Baby it's cold outside - Glee (I'm not a glee fan I just like the song)

2) All I want for Christmas is you - Mariah Carey

3)This Christmas - Owl City

What I learned in 2012

So since 2012 is almost over I am going to write about my experiences in 2012 and what I learned from them. I must say I haven't learned much this year. In 2011 I really learned a lot very fast, because I was getting more mature very fast and I was getting out of a depression and I was suicidal and stuff. Compared to that I didn't learn anything this year. I'm not going to talk about what I learned in school, only about the important life lessons.

1. Call your best friend if you had a fight with your brother -and if you're crying because he really hurt you while you know you shouldn't talk to your brother ,since you know someday he'll end up in prison- NOT your boyfriend, he will definitely overreact. (Seriously my brother his hand is broken because he hit someone because he was "being annoying". I actually think he deserves being in prison.)
2. Blogging is fun. Seriously since I started blogging I got addicted and I got happier
3. Working 4 hours for school doesn't get you better grades than working half an hour.
4. Don't give up on your dreams, if you work hard enough you will accomplish what you want to accomplish

Quote of the week #1

Hi guys I've decided to start a line of posts. Every saturday. I'll just post 1 single quote which I find intresting. It'll look like this. I make every single picture myself.

Sinterklaas

Hi peeps. I hope you all aren't to cold because of the snow that fell today and will fall tomorrow.
Today I'm going to tell you guys about some Belgian culture. Have you ever heard of Sinterklaas? Probably not (unless you're European). It's a person similar to Santa Claus. We have both Sinterklaas en Santa Claus. Most children just say "de Sint" so I'll refer to him that way. De Sint is a Spanish old man who brings every child who was good that year a present on the night of the fifth of October, Because the 6th it's his birthday.. He rides a horse called "slecht weer vandaag" (which means bad weather today). In the Belgian TV-show of de Sint (yes, he has his very own TV show) they say that his horse which is white is called that way because the day de Sint got it the weather was very bad and it was raining with thunder and lightning and stuff. (How creative) And he doesn't make the present himself he's to old for that. So just like santa he has "helpers" or cruel said slaves. Like Santa has elves as helpers de Sint has black people. (This may sound like racist to you, but that's just the way the story says and it's generally accepted here. It's NOT my opinion that black people should be slaves. DONT take tis offensively. Oh, and they volunteer to help him) And those helpers make the presents and go through the chimney.
And december 5th children have to "hun schoen zetten". They have to take a shoe and put a carot and a piece of sugar in it (for the horse) and beer (for de Sint) and cookies (for "Zwarte piet" that's how the helpers are called) And in exchange for that they get a present if they were nice that year.
Please comment.

Ps. guys, since tomorrow there's going to be a huge snowfall here I am going to get outside with my sister's camera and make pictures. I promise to post some pictures of those soon, so you can enjoy the landscape. And feel sorry for me that I had to be in that snow.

I'm really sorry

Hi guys!
I didn't manage to make sure I had at least new posts 2 time a week during the exams. But what I have to study is okay so I might have some time to give you guys at least something. But that might not work out, because -that's why I am posting this message- my laptop is dead. Like literally dead. At least it's almost dead. Not dead like running out of battery, I mean dead like broken. So If my laptop breaks I need to get 675 euros to get a new one. I was already planning on buying a new one in summer because then I have a "summer-job" I work somewhere for a month so I have some money to get through the year. This year I'm only buying a laptop, so I have some money for during the year. WHY does my laptop always break during the exams!? I'm not planning on getting the wreck that should be called a laptop but it's a wreck the only thing that still works is the screen. So I'm definitely not planning on getting it fixed it's better to buy a new one right away. So If this laptop ever breaks down when I don't have the money I need yet, I might not be able to post on this blog anymore for a long while. Now my laptop still works I'll try to make as many blog posts as I can for in the future, so you guys can enjoy my blog as long as possible.
To get the money I still need if I'd babysit only it would take 169 hours of babysitting that's over seven days non-stop! Of course I can ask my parents to borrow me some money, but I wouldn't expect to much of it.  So if it breaks down don't expect that I'll be back that soon. I'm really sorry and I promise I'll get back as soon as I can and in the latest case that will be at the end of august. So I hope that the wreck survives until then. And if it doesn't I'll miss you all.

Stupid comments about names of groups

Hey peeps!
I'm going to tell you a short story which happened during French class the other day. A girl from my class group called Lotte had to do her book report that day. For the book report we had to make a small creative exercise so the rest of the class group could solve it. and Lotte said that we had to form 3 groups and make up a name for the group. In my group there we only girls and no boys so we decided to call our group "Les Filles" (which is French for the girls). And some guy from the other group said "How original. Our name will be way more original and creative). When he was done discussing with his group the choose the name he stood up proudly and he said "Our group will be called Group deux" (French for group two). My whole group said at exactly the same time "How original". The third group was called "The Wesley" which refers to the picture on top of the article. It's kabouter Wesley ( Dutch for Gnome Wesley). Wesley is a gnome who always gets in funny situations and always responds in a impolite cursing but still funny way.
