shoe addict?
Okay, it is no big surprise anymore that i'm kinda a shoe addict...But somebody really needs to stop me from buying all these shoes here o.0 Can't help myself buying these cause they're so prettyyyy.. Got my Seo In Young/Lee Hyori shoes haha! No seriously, I need to control myself and stop spending all my money on shoes here.
I don't want to, i refuse, i ignore...i can't resist.

unreachable
Unconsciously always trying to reach the unreachable.. Unreachable in many ways. Some you just cannot grab it, no matter how hard you try. Tears and sweat, it is just not meant to be, this is not your destiny. In other cases there are several obstacles. Fear, insecureness, and most important pride, holding you back from reaching the goals you've been setting. The dreams you want to follow. The reality you try to escape. Focus and don't get caught in illusions, illusions where you think it might be real this time. Don't ever let greed take over you, some things just don't belong to you. Protect yourself of getting hurt, have strength.
Not knowing whether the outcome will be satisfying, you take this path. Are you wanting this for the right reasons? Will it be worth it?
What I should do now is focus on dancing. Be dedicated, train hard and IMPROVE. Reaching this goal is the only thing I'm confident in doing. As long as you stay true to yourself and focus, you might be able to make at least this illusion become reality. Work hard and you will be rewarded. It's time to break out of your shell, it's time for action. It cannot turn out to be another disappointment..Now you can make it come true, out the sight of all the familiar eyes..I will grow, I will improve. I will get over the stage fright.

my 21st bday ^^
Woehoee, 21 already...I'm an adult in the US now XD It started with a bday song at 12 o'clock while I was learning for my Katakana test the next morning. Got a lot of candies too from Xavier haha thanks! At school in the student lounge there was a cake waiting for me baked by the sweethearts Benedicte and Ting Ting ^^ Sooo sweeet! Together with some presents from them all as you can see on the picture. Yup, more candies lol!
After class Benedicte, Ting Ting and me went to Kuzuha mall to shop a bit and get a bday cake for the others who missed the one in the morning. It was soo rainy and cold that day. With a stop at McDonalds hahaha, I wanted to eat it so badly that day ^o^. My cake looks so pretty! It was all chocolate and fruit.
BTW, thanks for all the messages and calls! Xiuf baby's text message waking me up at 6 in the morning XD Sweet text messages from Belvia, Chelle and Sandra. Surprise call from Ineke, my parents, sister and brother. ^^ And ofcourse everyone else for the mails, messages etc =D Too bad you all aren't here to celebrate it with me. ありがとう ございます！

こんにちわ!
It's been a while, everytime I try to update I was either busy doing other things or just clueless what to write about. Didn't do much this week..Just went to school, study for tests, doing some homework. Oh it is Xavier's bday today, so HAPPY BDAY X! ^^ Still gotta buy you milkshake some time hehe. I don't have the feeling that I'm in a strange country far away from all of you. I also don't feel homesick here since we can keep contact either by texting, msn'in or the suprise phone calls ^^. I miss bothering you guys with phone calls when I feel bored or when I walked home from the station after a sweaty dance training at Jake's. Yeah, I bet you miss me now huh! All the nonsense conversations! =P I've been to Yoshimi dance studio yesterday to check out hiphop classes, but the teacher wasn't there..Talking about timing o.0 I also found another hiphop dance studio today in Hirakata called Myster dance studio..Gotta check that one out ^^ I want to dance so badly.. T-T It pretty expensive here to take dance classes, 4 times a month is like 50 euros? An introduction class is about 20 euros o.0 Bet you won't complain about Jake's classes now huh! You also have to pay these weird things like becoming a member first, air conditioning fee, maintenance etc >.< If I'm going to spend money on all this stuff it better be a hell of a hard dance class! That's the only way to improve yourself by training harder and memorize faster. They also teach POPPIN over there! HEAVENNNN hahaha!
Update: I thought I was hallucinating this morning..I woke up really early and thought my body was shivering, then it looked like the bed was shaking a lil bit so I was like WTF? When I went to school TT told me there was this little earthquake early in the morning..THAT explains everything, I thought I went peanuts -_-
380yen (€3,26) club lunch at school cafetaria ^^

おはよお ございます
At least I think it is still Ohayoo by now. Woke up at 7 today for school, seriously I need some more sleep. Had Spoken Japanese class in the morning. Learned how to write my name in katakana: ゼン シャオヨン. We've also learned that on Valentines Day tomorrow only the GIRLS give chocolates to the BOYS. What if I want to give chocolates to myself and eat it? Grrr, so unfair! Then there is also a White day on March 14th where the boys NEED to return twice the amount of chocolates they've received from the girl. Men, you're so unlucky if you're really popular and have all these crazy girls who give you a huge amount of chocolates XD Say goodbye to your money! Well anyway, I have to do a presentation in the afternoon...Still not sure what to tell as I don't even really understand what the literature is about. However, it is almost weekend! We might have a horror movie night since it is friday the 13th. Not sure what my plans are for tomorrow tho, maybe go to Universal Studios or Nara? Or just stay home with my chocolates and do some homework XD I've been to Osaka this wednesday, it is really nice over there! Did some good shopping too haha..Well じゃまたね!
update: i've baked cookies today for all my new buddies here so they won't feel so alone on Valentines day =)

Hirakata
Sooo, I had class for over a week now.. Super speed Japanese classes everyday. I dropped one course today, preparing for the nice weather to come XD Lacking behind with all my homework, need to get started really soon! BUT, tomorrow is the National Foundation day...Which means NO SCHOOL! ^^ Going to Osaka to shop with the group. We've been to Kyoto last weekend and did some karaoke on friday and saturday. It normally takes about 40 minutes to get there, but Wes knows the way. So it only took us one hour and 300 yen more =P Recorded all the talent at the karaoke, it was so funny...Yeah collecting some blackmail material just in case I might need it LOL! It was fun tho, 2000 yen for two hours and all you can drink. NO, I know I don't drink but my cola tasted like it has alcohol in it..It tasted weird. But I'm still good ^^ I love my bike btw, it only takes me about 10 min now to get to school whoot whoot! And I like the cafetaria at school, only 380 yen for a whole meal. Now some of you may be wondering what I eat for dinner..I cook at the dorm...YUP I cook it myself hahahaha! So I'll be fine, don't worry I don't think I will lose any weight here ^-^ Also made some Japanese friends at school, they're really nice =) Oh for those who didn't know, I bought a mobile phone here. You cannot survive without one... For pictures of my journey, get yourself a facebook and add me there ^o^
