Monthly Questions: April

Heyy, today a new monthly questions. I've been a bit upset/depressed today, and I will probably tell in the next monthly questions (but I hope it won't happen). Here it is:

1. Nicest thing that happened
I think it is either my friend’s birthday party, my own birthday or the vacation, which just started. My friend celebrated her b-day on April 12th and it was such a fun party. The cycling trip to the location should take 10-15 minutes, but it took us more than an our because we got lost and it was a lot of fun. The 17th was my own birthday, but I didn’t celebrate it much. It was more for family, so it was less fun than with friends (because with my friends I can do stuff). And vacation is also super nice. After the stress from the testweek I really need some rest and time to draw and be creative and do nothing in particular.

2. Something you’re proud of
The fact that I’m less stressed in new/unexpected situations. With my friend’s b-day, normally I would have panicked because we were lost, but now we just laughed at how stupid we were… which is positive, because it means it is getting better with me.

3. One crazy fact about you
I can easily be obsessed with something… When I see something I can become COMPLETELY obsessed with it in a few seconds, which isn’t the best thing in the world when you have school and when you have enough obsessions (according to my parents).

4. Biggest obsession of the month
DIVERGENT!!! I saw the movie (see next question) and it was AWESOME! Both my friends are now too completely obsessed and we talk about divergent all the time <3 We stand in the middle of the hallway at school yelling: “FOUR!!!” “THEO!!!”

5. Movies you saw
DIVERGENT!!! I saw it on April 5th with two friends and it was THE MOST AMAZING movie I had ever seen. IT WAS PERFECT! Totally obsessed now. I already read the book and in my opinion it stayed with the book very well.

6. Books you read
I finally managed to continue and finish Allegiant and it was the most devastating book I have ever read (more devastating than tfios). I was seriously crying and then my mom entered the room and I had to read one more page to finish it and she wouldn’t let me :(
I also finished the CSI book I started reading in February because I finally had time to do. It was a nice book.

7. Drawings you made
I drew a scene of Josh Hutcherson and Shanley Caswell in the movie Detention. I started it end January and now just got the time to finish it. But now it is vacation so I finally get to draw more, yeey! I also made some drawings in notebooks at school because I was bored and then for art I turned fashion pictures into comic styled things, which is sort of drawing. And a long time ago I drew a tattoo design for a friend of my mom and this vacation she finally turned it into a real tattoo.

8. Favorite music
Since the end of this month I’ve been fan of the band 5 Seconds Of Summer. Two of my friends are super fans and now they made me fan too, so one day I searched a lot of their songs on youtube and now I have downloaded 35 in total (not obsessed or something…)

9. Played any games?
I played a game called 2048 on my iPhone. It is very fun and very addicting…

10. Fashion you bought
On the last day of April, I went shopping and I bought some stuff at the Primark and the Sting.

A purple zebra shirt from Primark

Black-and-white blouse from Primark

'Talk nerdy to me!' Spongebob top from Primark

Neon pink Primark sneakers

American heart top from the Sting

Black/white striped shorts from the Sting

11. Other stuff you bought
Well I also didn’t buy much, but for my birthday I got a Four/Tobias Eaton poster from my sister. And I bought a nee phone case and bow hairband at Primark. 

I don't have a picture of the poster but it has this image.

12. Something new you learned
You have to take care of yourself before you can help others. In school I tend to help others before I do my own homework, which causes problems and stress for me because in the end I’m running behind and I have to stress and then I feel down and then I can’t help others anymore…

I hope you liked it :D

Monthly Questions: March

Heyy, today I finally have the monthly questions of March, although it's already April 11th. Here it is:

1. Nicest thing that happened
School camp to Berlin. I have already posted a review of that. This is the link: http://fashionistar17.blogspot.nl/2014/03/my-schoolcamp-reviewvlog.html

2. Something you’re proud of
I’ve lost 2 kilos (= 4.4 pounds) in 4 weeks. I was so proud of myself. Since Augustus 2013 I’ve been trying to lose weight through a program with a sport group and help from a nutritionist. From Augustus to December I’ve lost 2 kilos, but then in January and February I’ve gained 2 kilos, so I was so glad that I lost them again in such a short time.

3. One crazy fact about you
I’m good at “copying” things. When I sing (I don’t sing very well, but still) I copy the way the person sings (like the pitch, accents, intonations, and more). When I draw someone from a photo, I “copy” the photo with my pencil. Typography and cartoon drawing is also sort of copying for me. Studying for a test is copying the things in my head. Unconsciously I have copied behavior, like how to react when someone is hurt or sad, because I didn’t use to know how to react to situations like that.

4. Biggest obsession of the month
My test week :( It isn’t a nice obsession, but this whole month has been about the test week, even sometimes when we were at school camp. I’ve offered to help someone with Physics on camp. The week between camp and testweek was a huge stress week for me, because I was running behind on almost every subject. I hade to take medicines to deal with the stress, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to write a single answer, even if I did know it. But those medicines did help, because my grades are a 6.8 for Dutch, 8,2 for Sociology, 8.5 and 8.6 for English, 8.9 for Economics, 9.1 for Biology, 9.3 for Physics, 9.5 for Chemistry and a 9.6 for Mathematics.

5. Movies you saw
This month I have watched ‘Frozen’ and ‘The Mortal Instruments’. I didn’t had much time to watch movies or do anything fun actually, because of school. I really loved Frozen, it’s such a cute sweet movie. I watched The Mortal Instruments with my sister, because we made a deal. I would watch Frozen and The Mortal Instruments if she agreed to watch Catching Fire and Divergent (when it is on DVD or when I have downloaded it). I think it was a good deal because I already planned on watching Frozen myself and friends of me are fans of TMI, so I could finally talk with them about it. TMI was a really cool movie, but it’s not that I’m in that fandom now.

6. Books you read
I’ve read 5 chapters of Allegiant and a few chapters of the CSI book I was reading… It’s not much, but I had school camp and test week. I did get a lot of new books. I got two more CSI books and a few days I got two Criminal Minds books, so I’m looking forward to read them (since Criminal Minds is my favorite TV show all time).

7. Drawings you made
I finished my Ruud Feltkamp drawing from previous month, I drew a few things when I was bored at school camp and I made a drawing when I was finished with my English test, but that was it for this month. I hope that next month I can draw a lot, because I had planned to make a few Catching Fire drawings, a Korean singer for a friend, Jamie Campbell Bower for another friend, and some other pictures, so I really want to draw them. In Berlin I did make a “streetart” thing, with paint, and at school with CKV I also made two things with paint.

Drawing for CKV artworks. The words/sentences are Dutch and English bad words. The project had to be about a social/world issue, so I choose bullying.

8. Favorite music
My favorite music is still the rock albums from previous month. My camp music list (for the 10 hour bus drive) contained those albums, Big Time rush’ album 24Seven, a few Taylor Swift songs, and a lot of pop songs which I skipped when listening.

9. Played any games?
On the bus drive to Berlin, we played Mario card on the Nintendo, which was kind of funny because I hadn’t used my Nintendo in a while. But other than that I didn’t play any games.

10. Fashion you bought
I bought new shoes before camp, and some jewelry in the Claire’s in Berlin, but that’s it.

11. Other stuff you bought
Two new phone cases. In the H&M in Berlin I saw a few phone cases and I still needed one for my iPhone. So I bought a neon pink rubber studded case and a green owl case.

12. Something new you learned
Stress isn’t good for your immune system. Every testweek this school year was very stressful, and every testweek I was sort of sick…

This was it for the monthly questions of March. I will try to post more things this month, which will work, because my birthday is in 6 days and it is almost vacation.

I hope you like it :D

Monthly Questions: February

Heyy, sorry I haven't posted anything in a month, but February was a really busy month for me. But I have a new post for you, so here are the questions of February:

1. Nicest thing that happened
I think the nicest thing that happened this month was the sleepover on February 28th. After school, we went to the Primark and the movie theatre to see Winter’s tale, which was a beautiful movie. Then we got lost in the city (which we both thought we knew well) and when we finally found out way back, we went to the ‘mediamarkt’ (an electronic shop) to make selfies with the iPhones and iPads. It was a really fun night.

2. Something you’re proud of
I got 10.000 views on a single video on February 1st. It is a Spencer Reid fanvideo on my Spencer Reid channel, and it’s on One Direction’s song ‘Kiss You’. If you want to see it, here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYo5KP3L8tc

3. One crazy fact about you
I think I might have some form of OCD, because one day I was searching for buttons in an old shoebox, and suddenly I was organizing them, until the box was almost empty. And I think there were over 500 buttons…

4. Biggest obsession of the month
Divergent. I still have to read Allegiant, but I’m already obsessed with the books and the movie. In the movie theatre, they had three different Divergent bookmarks, so I grabbed four of each, nine in total for myself and one set for a friend. On our way to the room where the movie would play, we saw a huge Divergent poster. Then while sitting in the seats and watching trailers, they played the Divergent trailer and my friend and I got a fangirl attack…

(I don't know why this picture is upside down)

5. Movies you saw
I didn’t see a lot of movies this month, there were a few on the television and Winter’s tale in the movie theatre. On TV I saw Lemonade Mouth and Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1

6. Books you read
This month I have read Insurgent and The Fault In Our Stars. I still have to read Allegiant, but I’m afraid to start in it because I’ve read some huge spoilers online. I also started in a CSI book based on the TV-series, CSI team spirit (it is Dutch, so it is actually called teamgeest). My mom found 7 CSI books on a trading site for 15 euro’s, and since I couldn’t find them in my local library since more than a year and I really liked reading the ones they did have earlier, my mom bought them for me. Four are normal CSI, two are CSI: NY and one is CSI:Miami.

7. Drawings you made
I didn’t draw much this month, because I didn’t have much time. I had a vacation of one week, but I had a lot of appointments and birthdays and homework, so I began on one drawing and I haven’t had the time to finish it. It is a Dutch actor, Ruud Feltkamp. And one night I made two charcoal drawings, and I made some drawings into a notebook at school, but nothing very special. I did make a voucher/coupon thing for a birthday. The best friends of a friend of my mother wanted to give her a surprise party and wanted to give her a tattoo as a gift. The tattooshop didn’t have vouchers/coupons, so they asked me to draw one, and since that friend loves turtles, I drew a turtle. I also drew the tattoo a few years back, but I don't gave a picture of it on my phone.

8. Favorite music
I’ve downloaded a lot of music this month. Most of them are rock albums, because I’m starting to really like rock music. Since I’ve downloaded at least 9 albums, I’m going to talk about my favorites. I really liked Evanescence’s ‘Fallen’, The Fray’s album ‘How To Save A Life’, Trading Yesterday’s album ‘More Than This’, Paramore’s ‘All We Know Is Falling’ and 3 Doors Down’s album ‘The Better Life’. Most of the time, I like men singing more than females singing, but this didn’t apply in the case of Evanescence and Paramore, because I really like them.

9. Played any games?
I didn’t play any games this month…

10. Fashion you bought
I didn’t buy much this month, only a few hair accessories and a t-shirt from the Primark.

(I don't know if you can see, but the print on the shirt are bows)

11. Other stuff you bought
I also didn’t buy a lot of other things. I don’t know why, but February seemed much shorter than normal, because I feel like I’ve done nothing this month.

12. Something new you learned
I’ve learned that it isn’t good for your eyes and head to watch 8 episodes of Criminal Minds on one day on your laptop, because once you’re finished, you can’t see the subtitles on your TV (not that I need them, but still) and you get a headache… The reason I watched so many episodes is that on my Spencereid17 blog, I post a review every 7 or 8 episodes with screenshots of the episodes, so I had to watch them all over again to make the screenshots. I still have to write the review though…

(This isn't for the review I still have to write, it's from the previous)

This was it for this post

I hope you liked it :D
