You can do it!

This is the thirteenth ending song of Naruto Shippuden, an anime I really like to see. It's basically about a boy growing up to be a ninja while containing a demon inside of him.

This song is a pretty good one too, but I like this clip particularly because of the dance they do.

Everyone of them has their special dance and the main character (Naruto, the blond one) adjusts really easily. The real cool part is that they're dancing but also fighting and everybody fight-dances according to their moves and specialty in the series.

I just thought that I would like somebody demonstrate it to me in real life. That would be just awesome!

White day

Yesterday, March 14, it was White day in Japan.
It's the second holiday of Valentines.
Well, you see, in Japan they split the Valentine holiday.
February 14 is the day the girls give chocolates to boy(s) they like or to friends and people they are indebted to. This is just called Valentines day.
March 14 it's the boy's turn to give candy or a present (both usually white) to the girl(s) they like or to friends and people they are indebted to. This is White day.
It would be kinda fun to do, I think. Maybe it will fly over to us.
Wonder if they're celebrating it now.

Bring me back to life


This song represents my feelings

how can you see into my eyes
like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere
cold until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead
all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become
(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

Mijn droom

Ik wil een schrijfster worden
en schrijf nu al dus verschillende verhalen op.
Ik wil namelijk voor mijn 25ste al een tenminste 1 boek geschreven hebben.
Bij sommige van mijn verhalen schrijf ik er ook een gedicht bij.
Zo ook bij dit verhaal over een meisje die opgroeit terwijl haar word wijsgemaakt dat ze een robot is, niets meer of minder dan een machine gemaakt om de mens te dienen.

Ik word meegevoerd
en ik weet niet
waarheen
Ik leef niet
ben als dood
Alles overkomt mij
en stroomt als water langs mij heen
Ik kan niks vastnemen
het ontglipt me
Ben ik een geest of
is deze wereld voor mij
onbereikbaar?

Blank

Leven pas geboren
Bruut beƫindigd
Om zelf te kunnen leven
Het spijt me
Het spijt me

Y(oung) Poetry

In March, this year, I participated in a poetry contest named YPoetry or Young Poetry.
It was an international poetry contest for 15-17 year olds from Berlin, Antverp (where I came from), Amsterdam and London. From each city two schools would participate and in each school three students would get to the finals in Antverp.
The selction of the finalists was based on the poems they wrote in the workshop at school.
I was so happy when I was selected, since I have a passion for writing and that passion was now recognised.
At the finals we had to read our poem in front of a big audience and a jury ( Princess Mathilde of Belgium was in that jury!!!!)
The theme was 'My city' and I decided to write my poem about my family in Chile. The time I wrote this poem was right after the earthquake there and I didn't know if everybody was ok. So I wrote all of my feelings in this poem.
I'll give you the original in Dutch first and then the english version, translated by professionals (it was an international contest)

Onbekende dierbaren

Witte duiven cirkelen rond het plein
De vriendelijke mensen voederen ze
En gaan verder met hun leven

Witte duiven cirkelen boven het puin
De mensen zien ze niet, vervolgen hun zoektocht
En hopen dat alles in orde is

Beelden dansen voor mijn ogen
Mensen die ik niet ken, maar ook wel
Waar zijn ze gebleven?

Mijn hart klopt als een bezeten
Ik kan niet blijven staan
Ik wacht en hoop dat alles in orde is

And now English!

Unknown Loved Ones

White doves circle over the square
The friendly people feed them
And carry on with their life

White doves circle over the rubble
The people do not see them, pursue their search
And hope that everything is fine

Images dance before my eyes
People I don't know, yet somehow do
Where have they gone?

My heart beats like crazy
I cannot stand still
I wait and hope thet everything is fine

What do you think? Give me your reactions.
Unfortunately I didn't get any prize but sill I was very proud for getting in the finals.
This will be an experience I'll never forget

Love Lola

Weird things

Lately there's been happening weird things to me.
For example I've been wearing more dresses this year
and been thinking about my hair.
And then today another thing: I've actually been picking out my clothes for half an hour!

This is abnormal!
I usually don't do this stuff.
I usually just take the first thing I get out the closet and then have to wait half an hour for my sisters to get ready.

Somewhere I like this, I like dressing up but
somewhere it also seems 'not me'.

You get me?
Hah, it's a summer full of changes.
