Vapiano

I just have to tell you about this lovely restaurant!
Vapiano is an Italian restaurant, which is absolutely gorgeous!
I have been there twice, of which one time was yesterday. They have a big choice of pizza's and pasta's and ofcourse antipasti, salads and the best desserts.
And it's not expensive! You can have a starter, a main dish and a dessert for about 15 euro's.

When you come in, you get a sort of 'credit card'. You use this to 'pay' for your food while you're in the restaurant. If you want to eat something, you walk to the bar and say what you want. The card is then scanned and the cost of the food is added. This happens each time you order something. When you order a starter you can wait for it, but when you order a pizza you get a buzzer. You take this with you to your table and it starts vibrating when your food is ready and you can pick it up. When you're leaving, you give in your 'credit card' and they scan it to see how much you have to pay. Then you can pay. Isn't it amazing?

Yesterday I shared Carpaccio with my mom and I had a pizza Crudo (with parma ham and parmesan cheese) and a Crema di Fragola (mascarpone with strawberries) and it was all really delicious!

In The Netherlands there are 2 restaurants, one in The Hague and one in Amsterdam. This year another one will open in Rotterdam.
If you live close to these cities I would really recommend you to go there some time!

Inspiration

I just found this look on Audrey Kitching's blog.
I think it's amazing, I especially love the Doc Martens and her pants with the patches on them!
The jacket that she's wearing isn't really my taste, but the rest of her outfit really inspires me.

And again I haven't blogged in ages....
I really need to do some more blogging xD

In the mean time I have turned 16 on the 6th of March [yay!] and I've been to Valencia for a week!
For my birthday I got the CD 'Almost Alice' from the Alice in Wonderland movie, a Lush package, a little cupboardy thing for my jewellery, lots of jewellery and loads more!

The day after my birthday I left for Valencia! It was a school language trip, to improve our Spanish. We had lessons from 9:30 till 13:30 every morning. Then we were free to do what ever we wanted around lunch. There was a park with palm trees right next to the school, so Rebecca and I would usually hang out there in the sun. Or we went to the 'Mascletas'. It was the week before the 'Fallas' [a Valencian party/festival] which meant there were really loud fireworks called Mascletas on the main square of the city every day at 14:00. In the afternoon we usually did something with the whole group, one day we had a guided tour of Valencia, another day we had a Flamenco lesson. After that we sometimes did some more shopping [most shops were open till 22:00 every day!] or went right back 'home' to our host families. Yes, we stayed with Spanish families. And the lady Rebecca and I stayed at was meant to speak English but she refused... So most of the time we only understood half of what she was saying xD But it was still fun!

And now... I'm at home... it's Sunday and I'm meant to be doing homework, but I don't feel like it xD
Going to have a shower first in a few minutes :]

Shopping <3

Yesterday I went to Amsterdam with my mom to do some shopping for clothes.
This is always really 'gezellig' [why is there no English word for this?] =D

I didn't buy that many clothes, but it was still fun.

I bought:
- Really thight washed skinny jeans, H&M
- White T-shirt with robots, New Yorker

And my mom bought some presents for my birthday, which is on Saturday. So I'll have to wait till then till I get them!

Before we went back to Leiden I had some problems with my ov-chipkaart -.-
I checked in but it said there wasn't enough money on it... I did activate 'Automatisch Opladen' though...
So we had to go to the info place and they said the automatisch opladen wasn't on o__o
I seriously hate the ov-chipkaart right now... it takes soooo long to get everything right!

But my Caramel Frappuchino made me totally happy again =D

All Time Low <3

Last Tuesday I went to see All Time Low in Amsterdam.
I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan, but I certainly love their music.

Eline and I met up in Leiden at 4. We had a drink at Starbucks [YUMYUM!] and then took the train to Amsterdam.
We were at the Melkweg at about 5:30 and froze our butts off for 1 1/2 hours till we were let in.
I already noticed when we went in that ATL fans seems to love pushing.
And I was right, during the concert people kept pushing and there were moshpits.
I'm sort of scared of moshpits, and Eline was dizzy, so we moved to the side half way through the concert so Eline could sit on the floor and I could watch from the side.
The view from there was great! We could see over all the people.
I loved the show, but the irritating people that kept pushing did ruin it a bit for me.
After the concert I bought a tourshirt and a poster :] I'll hang up the poster once I've changed my room completely.

If ATL comes to The Netherlands again, Eline and I will be there, the guys are great!

Hello there :]

I haven't blogged for a month, but I'm back.
The last weeks I've been very busy with projects and essays for school. And now it's testweek. Sounds like fun right?
Luckily I never have to study much to get a good grade.

Yesterday I went to Eline, my bestie, because it's her 16th birthday on Tuesday.
I gave her a self made calendar [which was actually meant to be a new years present but I wasn't finished yet], a 'bouquet' with small presents [for example a lipbalm, a lucky doll, a face mask, a lolly, etc.] and 3 candles which were called live, love and laugh. She was really happy with the presents, and all of the people that were visiting her found my calendar great. I was actually surprised by my own creativity. I don't have any pictures of it though...

In about a week time I'll see my other best friend, Annabell. I haven't seen her in half a year because she lives in Hamburg. She is coming to The Hague for THIMUN [a really big Model United Nations conference] with some other people from her school and staying in the Kurhaus so Eline, Annabell and I will have dinner in Scheveningen. Before that I'll probably also see Lydia and Floriana who I haven't seen in more than a year! I can't wait :]
