FunConcertsFutureDownUnder...

Time flies when you're having fun eh?! Well i think that's definitely the case for me lately, not only am i busybusybusy with my job also i have been occupied with going to concerts, a bit of partying, a business trip to Melbourne & making plans for the future .

Future plans are very exciting, but mean i really have to put myself on a budget right now...i spend too much money on stupid things! Future plans are also something i don't want to write too much about yet, if you want to know i'll gladly tell you in person (or e-mail :P) but right now i feel like i'm jinxing my plan/dream if i scream it out too loud.

Concerts...yes lots of them Mêlée, Sneaky Sound System, Saybia, Maria Mena....they were all great! And my new addiction is to film some songs during each song, if you want to have a look just click on my youtube films on the left.

And so i have also been Down Under again, my boss asked me to participate in an Agent Training Week at the Monash University in Melbourne...well you don't say no to your boss in those cases do you?! ;) Will post links to the photos of that trip soon!

Here's just a couple of photos from concerts & the Melbourne trip to end this blog with....


Nighttime in Melbourne


Tine, Nicole & me with Melbourne behind us


With James (from Monash Uni) after the farewell dinner


With Emma on Saturday-Emmaday!


Sneaky Sound System at Paradiso Amsterdam, yes i was front row!


Binkie's still with me too...or is he?!


Saybia was wonderful!


And Maria Mena at Paradiso was magic, goose bumps all night!

Maria Mena's new album

Maria's new album 'Cause & Effect' is amazing, can't stop listening to it. It's hard to describe but the lyrics are cutting like a knife. They are really honest & fragile and therefore so much better than most of the other crap that young artists like her usually write (if they even write their own stuff).


















Self-fullfilling prophecy
Self-hatred grows in me like cancer
I can't locate it's whereabouts, but it's feasting on its host
I expected him to have the answers
I thought I taught him how to love me now
He fears me like a ghost

Oh self-fullfilling prophecy
You're the only garanteed loyalty
In this town full of violent mothers,
cheating fathers, leaving lovers
I swear to you I'll never love again

Maria Mena - Your Glasses

What could you possibly see in me?
Is it my soul hung out to dry?
I think my dysfunctional family has shaped it throughout my life

What could you possibly like in me?
Do you like my ability to bend?
I think my fear of intimacy has shaped the time we spend

No, it’s not you
It’s me
And it’s not us
It’s them
And it’s not her
It’s just the way she moves you
And she kisses harder than me
Oh, she kisses harder than me

And I've always looked in through your glasses
But all I could see was the specter of me reflected
The empty shell of me
The empty shell of me

What could you possibly love in me?
Is it the way I wear my smile?
It hangs from the tip of my tongue you see
Oh, this might take a while
