Monthly questions of July (until August 3)

Heyy, I got back from vacation Monday and immediately started this. I included the first 3 days of August, because I got back from vacation on the 4th, so it would be easier. Here it is:

1. Nicest thing that happened
Summer vacation! We went to somewhere in Belgium, and my best friend stayed a couple of days. My sister’s best friend came for the full two weeks, and after my best friend left, I became friends with her too, so I wasn’t alone. We had so much fun, especially at night before sleeping. There were not much people from my age there, so I only made two vacation friends, but they were really nice and fun.

Here some photo's:

A selfie of me, my sister's best friend, my best friend and my sister (from left to right) playing midget golf.

Owls who were at the market.

Bored, so making selfies while laying in bed. 

2. Something you’re proud of
Losing weight two months in a row. Right now I weight the lightest I’ve ever been in I think two years. This year is also the first vacation that I haven’t been ashamed to walk in my bikini. Normally I would rather keep on my shirt and shorts, but this year when we entered the sand (since it’s not really a beach with a sea, but sand and a sweet-water lake), I immediately pulled them off and run into the water. One of my vacation friends was a boy, and even when laying next to him, I wasn’t ashamed of my body.

3. One crazy fact about you
I can sing freaking high. One time on vacation we were bored, so my sister’s friend played the frozen soundtrack. Lots of people can’t reach the pitch in ‘let it go’, but I easily sang higher. Then that night we listened night core (really high pitched and sped up songs), and I sang as high as the sped up versions, so basically I sing higher than the chipmunks.

4. Biggest obsession of the month
Still EXO. My best friend and I wanted to watch showtime (EXO’s variety show) at nights, which are 12 episodes of 50 minutes. We managed to watch all 12 in 3 nights, which we did not think was possible. I also started writing exo short romantic fanfics, which are 12 per time (because they are with 12 members). I’ve finished one series, but already have the concepts for the next two.

5. Movies you saw
I saw ‘the fault in our stars’ in the movie theatre on July 11th. I went with three friends, and we all cried I think (one friend had to leave early, so I don’t know about her). I started crying somewhere in the beginning, but not because of the movie. I had hurt my muscle in my leg while running to the movie theatre because we were late. None of my friends had a painkiller and neither did I, and it really hurt. Funny parts during the movie made it bearable, but then there was a quiet scene and the pain was just too much, so I started crying and everyone was like: “Are you okay?” because the movie wasn’t sad at that point. I couldn’t walk normally with it for a couple of days, but luckily it’s normal now.

On vacation I watched something almost every night. The first three nights I watched EXO’s showtime episodes, after that I (re)watched ‘the hunger games’, ‘catching fire’, ‘detention’, ‘frozen’ (in speed up, because I thought that would be funny), an episode of ‘criminal minds’, and episode of ‘bedlam’ (a British horror series), ‘vampire academy’, ‘the mortal instruments’ and ‘the grudge’.

6. Books you read
I ordered new books, which I will all mention at question 11. One of the books was ‘four – the collection’, which is the fourth book in the divergent series. I got it on a Wednesday and finished it the same day in a couple hours. After that I wasn’t allowed to read until I was on vacation, because otherwise I wouldn’t have books left for vacation. When we arrived, I continued and finished my Criminal Minds book. I also started and finished ‘the Maze Runner’. I already am IN LOVE with the maze runner series, it is so awesome. I can’t wait to finish the rest of the series and for the first movie.

The 12 books I packed for vacation, only read 2 of them because I did other things too.

7. Drawings you made
I didn’t draw much this month, although I really wanted too. My right pinky finger is sort of injured and drawing hurts too much most of the time. I got sort of angry about it, because I finally have time to draw, and now I can’t because I’m injured. I made a few drawings at school on the debate preparation day, because my team was stuck and couldn’t continue. Then on vacation I drew some things with eyeliner. A few days later I wanted to make a pattern for plushies I wanted to make when I get home. The first one was too skinny for a plush doll, so I drew on it. It turned out kind of weird. I also did the ‘1 minute drawing challenge’ with my sister’s friend. And lastly I drew Luhan from exo doing a wink. I’ll be doing the other 11 later hopefully, if my hand allows me to.

Drawings I made at debate preparation day.

8. Favorite music
It’s still EXO and the rock music. We went on vacation in the car, and the car ride would take two/three hours, so I made a playlist. It existed of EXO, some other k-pop songs which I listened two years ago, Paramore, Evanescence, The Fray, The Pitch Perfect soundtrack, Rascal Flatts, 5 Seconds Of Summer, and then some “normal” pop music like you would hear on the radio.

9. Did anything new
This vacation is one of the first times I went swimming in a lake where could be fish in. The water was very clear and we didn’t see anything, but there is a chance they were there and I’m scared to swim with fish. I don’t know why, I just am. Normally I wouldn’t go into it, or I would only go till my knees, but this time I swum very far.

10. Fashion you bought
Before vacation I bought a white t-shirt with cute print, and two grey sweaters. I thought they might come in handy in the mornings, since they could be very cold. My mom also ordered another white t-shirt with print for me. On vacation I bought two caps, one denim with a lot of strass stones, and one dark blue one (on the boys’ department, but who cares).

One of the grey sweaters (it looks like I have a new haircut here, but basically it's the other half on my hair weirly placed by the hoodie)

11. Other stuff you bought
Books! I ordered €50 worth of books before vacation. I bought ‘Four – the collection’ by Veronica Roth, ‘The Maze Runner’, ‘The Scorch Trial’ and ‘The Death Cure’ by James Dashner (still have to buy ‘the kill order’, but the three of them together were almost cheaper than buying only the first one) and ‘Looking for Alaska’ and ‘Paper Towns’ by John Green. On vacation I also bought 12 packs of chewing gum that looks like cigarettes, so my friends and I can do like Augustus Waters…

12. Something new you learned
When you go on vacation to a place where you won’t have Internet, and then you go to a market or MacDonald’s where they do have free Wi-Fi, you’ll be there for a long time. A VERY LONG TIME. The first three days of vacation I used the 3G of my iPhone, until I learned that it will cost A LOT. Then we went to a market on Sunday where they had free Wi-Fi, but the connection was bad when we sat together, so I decided to walk around while on my phone. I have walked for 45 minutes while being on instagram to catch up with my fandoms. Wednesday we went to the MacDonald’s, and I decided to bring my laptop to download movies. We sat there for 3 hours, waiting for the movies to load, while doing other stuff on internet.

I hope you liked it :D

holiday planning: sunday's summary 3

heyy, today is Sunday, so I'll give you a summary of the things I posted this week.

Monday style day:

I showed you different fashion pieces with floral print on it.

I learned you how to write a story.

TAG wednesday:

I had a book TAG with many Hunger Games related answers.

Thursday jewelry update:

I made some resin pieces.

Friday's looks of the week:

One outfit I wore last week.

I skipped Saturday's language, because we had a birthday and today I have to pack for my vacation. We are going to a park with caravans, and I don't know if there's wi-fi, so I don't know if I can post anything. If there is wi-fi, I will do my normal posts, except for Thursday, because I'm not bringing my jewelry or crafting stuff. Instead it will be a drawing update/post. I will also try to film as much as possible, because I sort of want to vlog. The results will be in another post. I hope you like it!

holiday planning: sunday's summary

Heyy, Sunday is the last day of the week, and I thought it would be nice to just give a summary of what I did this week. Also because I don't have to think of a new article, I can prepare on Sunday for the next week. So here is what I did this week:

Monday style day:

This Monday, I showed you some superhero comic themed fashion items. I love comic themed items, like shirts with 'POW!' or 'BOOM!'. I think they are super cool.

How to Tuesday:
On Tuesday, I teached you how to make a comic. I don't know why, but I like explaining things, so that's why I liked making this post. I haven't got the time to make a real comic, but when I do, I'll post a picture of it here.

TAG Wednesday:
Wednesday, I posted a TV show/series TAG. I like making TAG's, because I get to know myself a little better. I also have to think sometimes, which is useful, because when I have vacation, my brain forgets anything. From my TAG post, you can see that I am totally addicted to Criminal Minds and Spencer Reid.

Thursday jewelry update:

Thursday, I did a jewelry update, something I hadn't done in a long time because I didn't make many jewelry. But I made a few things, so I wanted to share them.

Friday's looks of the week:

Friday I showed you two looks I wore that week. This dress and a beach dress with my bikini.

Saturday's language:
Yesterday I learned you a few Japanese sentences, because I like the language.

Which post did you like the most? Please comment, so that after the holiday, I can make more simular posts.

I hope you like it!

holiday planning: how to tuesday 1

heyy, today is how to Tuesday, so I'm going to teach you something. And I thought since it is holiday, so some of you must have a lot of time. I don't know how long vacation is in other countries, but in the Netherlands, we have 7 weeks. So I thought, I can teach you something that will take time, so you'll be busy. In 5th grade, my best friend and I used to make comics. They were very simple, a little childish, and we didn't make them as we should have, but they were short and just for fun. She wrote the texts and I drew the pictures. We made three comics, one about bees, one about fish and one about butterflies. They aren't very interesting, but I still have them. They bring back memories of that friendship, because one year later, we weren't best friends anymore.

But now I'm going to teach you how to make a real comic. Sorry I don't have matching pictures to make things more clear, but today I went to the swimming pool from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, so I didn't had any time to draw.

How to make a comic:

1. Choose your genre, subjects, and style
2. Choose your characters
3. Choose the places
4. Choose your storyline
5. Choose the texts
6. Make a sketch comic
7. And… Begin

1. Choose your genre, subjects, and style
Before you can make a comic, you have to know what kind of comic you want to make. You have to choose a genre (like action, romantic, comedy, horror), subjects (like love, war, family, friendships) and a style. With a style you can make it personal. With style I mean how you draw your comic. You can draw very simple without many details, or very detailed. You can draw manga or chibi, or your own style of drawing. When you have decided your genre, subjects and style, you can continue.

2. Choose your characters
Every story has characters, so for a comic, you need to choose yours. The main character(s), the other important characters, less important characters. You need to give them a recognizable look, something only that character has (different eyes, skin tone, a special haircut). Also, you need to make a personality for each of them (age, connection to the others, talent, abilities, fears) which makes them unique.

3. Choose the places
In a comic, you have to draw everything. If they’re in the woods, you have to draw the trees, leaves, a brown ground, so that your readers know where they are. Every picture has to have a background. It sounds obvious, but some forget it.

4. Choose your storyline
A storyline is very important. You need to write down every action in the right order, decide if you want flash forwards or flashbacks, decide how many conversations, a climax or anti-climax. It’s like making a screenplay for a movie. This will help you to plan how many pictures you need for every action, so that you can fit everything in.

5. Choose the texts
Every comic has conversations, thoughts and texts. Sometimes a picture has a text bloc above it, to introduce a person, place or situation. You don’t have to write whole conversations, only the important sentences, because than it will be more natural when you make the whole comic. Also think of some quotes, some cool reactions or thoughts. If you can’t think of anything, it’s alright, because you don’t need them that hard. But they make a story cooler.

6. Make a sketch comic
If you have your characters, places, storyline and some texts, you can make a sketch version. When you think of the happenings in your story, find some scenes that you think will be the hardest to draw. And sketch them. Try a font for the texts and see if they match your drawing style. Try colors, try different ways of coloring (pencils, ink, markers, digital). Try to find the things that match. If you have a cute drawing style, don’t choose a non-curved font. Use soft and bright colors, but not neon. Use pencils to make it look softer. But for the scary scenes you can use black pencils. When you have tested, you can go to the last step.

7. And… Begin
If you have everything you need, you can start making your comic. Try to work someplace quiet, so you can concentrate. It will take some time to finish it, but the end result will be worth it.


I hope this was useful and I like to see the end results if some of you try this.

I hope you like it!

Holiday/Vacation time

heyy, It's summer!!! I don't know about holiday/vacation in other countries, but I have 7 weeks without school. I don't have plans for the first weeks, I maybe go on vacation the last two weeks. But to have something to do, I thought of a program. 6 weeks long (i'm going to start next week) I'm going to post something everyday.

Every Monday I'll post something about a specific style.
Every Tuesday I'm going to post a how to ...
Every Wednesday there will be a TAG post.
Every Thursday is about jewelry.
Every Friday I'll post an outfit.
Every Saturday I'm going to teach you a language.
Every Sunday is to sum up everything of that week.

I have made a planning with all the subjects, and I hope I'll be able to write and post everything. Making and photographing everything will take a lot of time, but than at least I have something to do.

I hope you like it!

primark shoplog

hello, today I went shopping with my best friend at the primark. We both had €40 and I almost spend it all. My best friend had some money left. First I'm going to show you what I bought, then what my best friend bought.

I bought two blouses and one dress, earrings and a hairbrush.



This is the first blouse I bought. It's white with a brown belt and it's very cute. I saw a friend wear it at school, altough hers is dark blue and I really liked it on her, so I tought I should try it too.



The dress I bought is a 4-in-1-dress. You can wear it as a long dress, you can fold it over for a shorter dress, you can make it a long skirt or fold it over for a shorter skirt. I saw this online for €37 and in primark it was much cheaper. And online it was a clear dress, just one plain color (dark purple, brown, white, blue) and at primark they also have striped and brighter colored dresses. I bought it for my vacation to Turkey in May.



We were standing in the row for the fitting room, when I saw this blouse. It's dark blue with umbrellas and that's just what we needed when we walked out of the primark. It was raining, very hard. but I really like that blouse.



Then I went to the accesories and shoes and I bought these cute earrings. I really love the earrings from the primark, because they don't hurt my ears. And these are so super cute!!!



The last item I bought was a hairbrush, because I needed one for school. My friend saw these pink and red hairbrushes hanging and told me I should buy it.

Then what my best friend bought. She bought two dresses.



She bought this cute dark blue dress. I think he looks good on her when she tried it on.



She also bought this beautiful black dress with flowers. She already liked it before she tried it on, but even better when we were done.

I hope you like this shoplog.
