Het Krokusvakantie PART I

It's Thursday baby!

That means three more days before school starts.

Holycow, time goes really fast.

First of all, I want to say that I'm sorry. I don't mean to turn this blog into a personal diary or something, it might sometimes seems like it but I promise it's not on purpose.

So what have I been up to in this vacation? In my last post, it seemed like my vacation would be a total waste?

WRONG. Well, not 100% productive, but still, wrong.

Saturday was fine, my host family and I went to the kineapolis in Antwerp because they wanted to see a Dutch movie called Brasserie Romantiek.

Since I would not understand a thing, I picked myself a movie that I have been wanting to check out for a long time. Yup, it's Pitch Perfect.

It was quite a catch, not bad, has a lot of great tunes but quite predictable. I'm not complaining ok, just check it out yourself if you want further information.

On Sunday I went to the Ardennen, Belgium French. They say it's the highest point of Belgium. Usually people go for a ski there but I've got no experience and not really interested so my host family and I just went there for a walk. It was a wonderful walk though.

I was just fooling around the whole Monday, so let's just skip to Tuesday.

I went to Erika's house (a school friend) and we hung out.

She painted my nails, which is totally not my thing because I consider my nails unpaintable; short and horrible. Plus, playing a lot of ukulele doesn't make me want to beautify them.

Anyway, I was a bit surprise that she managed to do it and was actually quite good at it. So, thanks Erika!

We stopped by Kiana's house to pick up Erika's bike, and stayed for a chat.

I told you already that I run terribly in a cold weather but that didn't stop us from doing Run & Bike, neither jumping on Erika's trampoline.

I gotta say that I have never ever jumped in such a huge trampoline.

There, I said it and I was freaking excited. It was a bit icy but Erika did a kind of flip anyway. It was a fun Tuesday!

The next day, I tried very hard not to mop around the house like a lazy pig, so sometime before 1 PM, I decided to go out for a jog.

That's right people, I went jogging around Opwijk.

Achievements baby, woohoo!

I wanted to get to know Opwijk better so I was like jogging with no direction, no idea where they ways lead me to and ended up in the park.

Gemente Huis van Opwijk

(in my opinion) the best frituur ever

In the park, I climbed the kind of tower thingy (I don't know what you call that thing) until I realize there was a notice board saying that you need to be under 12 years old to actually play there, and I thought, fuck it. No one could tell that I'm gonna be 18th this year anyway.

The Park

Honestly, I really love the park in Opwijk. Guess what I saw there?

A fucking Mallard!

Cool, yeah?

 

I think the park is beautiful and relaxing, especially because at that time no one was there so I'm really looking forward on going back.

On the way back, I stopped by the Okay to pick up some stuff and accidentally bumped into Judith. (Hey Judith! :D)

Stuff

Well, what I meant by stuff was actually snacks, which made my effort of jogging quite useless. Well, I tried!

Today was not really my favourite. It rained the whole day, so I guess it was the most unproductive day I've ever had. I woke up late, had a so-called brunch, took a shower, back to bed until 4 PM, watched Skins series all over again and nothing.

I still have tomorrow and I really want to make the best of it, but I guess I'll be studying math for the test on Monday 'cause I'll be having AFS Camp on the weekend. (CAN'T WAIT!!)

Oh almost forgot,

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY<3

I'm not gonna start with 'how I am not a valentine person and blabla', which is true, it's really not my thing, but hey, we should spread the love everyday!

Unless you're a grumpy cat, once a year will do.

I'm a fan of 'Actual Advice Mallard meme', I enjoy reading most of them and I found an awesome one on 9GAG, like when I saw this, I thought, how on earth did I not think of that before? This is not really an advice, more like a supportive message that your parents or anyone would give.

Anyway, just remember,

It bet it didn't sound funny anymore now that I post it....

well, fuck it.
