A cinq heures cinquante-cinq

I'm sure 2010 will be at least as fantastic, but I won't forget the magnificent 2009 anytime soon. By example, Peter's birthday party at the Make Up Club mid-december. It was not your typical birthday party, in two ways. 1 - the incomes were all being donated to Music For Life and Amnesty International, 2 - everybody had to dress up. I went as a devil (vampire, according to some - I blame my very pale skin) myself and saw loads of great costumes worn by the other guests.

Michaël was the hero of the night in that chicken suit, I seriously couldn't stop myself from laughing each time I saw him! :)

(pics partly by me, partly by the official photographer, not too hard to find out who did what exactly)

This is the end, beautiful friend

Before we dance the night away and enter 2010, let's finish the year with some music lists...

Most played (18)

1. Marina & The Diamonds - Obsessions


2. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (still prefer the original to the A-trak remix, even though I'm probably the only one in this world to think so, and even though that remix is quite great as well)


3. Owl City - Fireflies

(click to see the video, it didn't allow embedding and I didn't want to post some amateur-made vid as the original one is so lovely)

4. Little Red - It's Alright


5. Bell X1 - The Boys Of Summer (Don Henley cover)

Merry X-mas darlins!

Not in the mood to be original, and let's face it: this is a classic. Happy Christmas sweeties! x

You don't know how lucky you are, boy

Last week I went to Cologne, Germany with Tessa, Shera and Pieter to see Paul McCartney perform. Tessa had seen him once before (two weeks earlier in the Netherlands) but it was the first time for me, Shera and Pieter. The gig was mindblowing, possibly the best I've ever been to. Almost 3 hours long and packed with fantastic songs by The Beatles, The Wings and Paul solo. Paul is still a great performer, you could never tell his age by his stage appearance. Our stay in Cologne was very nice too. We didn't get too touristy (I had been in Cologne before anyways) but spent most of our time walking around the huge christmas markets, eating and sitting at Starbucks. Some pictures of my friends (no misplaced self-portraits for once :p), the Paul gig and lovely Cologne:

We've got obsessions

I recently went to a house party by my friend Leehana and her flat mates. I didn't know too many of the invited people, but being the 'official' photographer (as in: Leehana lended me her lovely camera to take as many pictures as possible of as many people as possible) I got to meet heaps of them, mostly international students and mostly very nice people. Might've been the best house party I've ever been to.

Cheers

...for all the birthday wishes I got so far and am yet to receive by facebook/twitter/e-mail/text message/phone/postcard/in person/... They are very much appreciated!! xxx

'Cause everything is never as it seems

I got back from Germany last night (from the amazing Macca gig and a small trip to Cologne - more about that later) where were we had no snow at all, and was rather surprised to find Belgium covered in a white blanket. Today it's still there, traffic is a mess (and I have to go to Ghent tonight, help!), my feet are hurting like hell after walking a few meters on the snowy ground, but I did manage to take some pretty nice pictures.
