Saturday

Another brilliant piece of work by Lev Yilmaz.. who seems to be making all his short movies about me..

Cranky, spoiled, whining little girl

Well, I'm definitely not loving the rain right now.. I don't want to go to classes, I want to stay in bed, I don't want to write my paper, I want pancakes, I want summer.. dammit!

Seasons change..

A relaxing song with good lyrics*.. for sweet dreams.

A dedication

.. to all project-creators, paper-writers, assignment-makers, essay-composers, group-workers and individual-taskers.

There's so much beauty..

I've mentioned before, I am from Bulgaria - a place full of beauty. I had the chance to enjoy beauty in other parts of the world too.. And there have always been people around me.. living in the same scene, sharing the same surroundings.. But most of these people.. most of you.. just seem to have forgotten how the smallest things can take your breath away..

 

("...It was one of those days.. when it's a minute away from snowing.. and there's this electricity in the air,... you can almost hear it. Right? And this bag was just... dancing.. with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That's the day I realized that there was this... entire life behind things..., and this incredibly benevolent force.. that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid. Ever. The video is a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much... beauty.. in the world,.. I feel like I can't take it,... and my heart... is just going to.. cave in..." )

Integration as a business

I received a letter from Inburgering Vlaams-Braband. "Inburgering" seems to mean "integration".

These nice people are offering me complete integration program for free: with language, job search, free time and culture courses. They say that if I want to get integrated, we will sign a contract. If I don't do things right, I will pay a fine. But if I do, in the end I will receive a certificate saying I was integrated. Splendid!

This might be a good moment to share the following video*.

* I want to stress on this: I am NOT intending to offend/ mock/ make fun of Belgium or Belgians! The text was written by Marcel Sel (a Belgian writer) which makes me assume it is not supposed to be insulting in the first place. I just find the video funny. Moreover, I believe every single country (including my own) should have such videos - pointing at the absurd way things are done.. who knows, maybe this will be a good first step to a positive change. :)

Orjana, thanks for the video! :)

Just a little lovin' early in the morning

It's not really early in the morning.. and it's only a song.. But, I'm giving it to you!

Sex sells

And since I can't think of anything else to share right now, I decided to put this old principle to the test.

(at 2:27 look for Kate!) 

 

Triple happiness

December 6th - a great day for at least 3 reasons:
- My most-awesome-in-the-whole-world big brother has a name day. :)
- There are exactly two more months till I go home. Woohoo!
- It's Saint Nicholas Day in some (many) countries.

Send your essays on "What I love the most about today" to the editorial e-mail.. then do the Double Dream Feet dance.

Kate on caffeine

Sometimes I have tons of coffee and I can fall asleep while sitting on my chair.
Other times.. well,.. let's just say I look somehow like this little fella:

I'm sayin':

"Good morning!".. with a smile!

Old habits die hard

7 + 5 + 4 + 1.5 years of school..
..and I'm still doing it the same way - at the last moment.

Do the green thing.. walk!

Something nice might happen.. :)

<< Rewind

Turning back time is still impossible, says science.. Yet, when there are good people around you, anything is possible..

Communication fail..

Busy student life here.
"Did you get my message?" is what you would hear people saying to each other all the time...
..or at least what you would hear people telling me.. followed by "do you ever use your phone?"..
Sorry, everyone.. and thanks for not giving up! ;)

.. I don't think it's funny..

A song that plays in the head of a student from Eastern Europe.. that currently lives in a Western European country..

He's back in town!

A nice surprise for Leuvenaars today..

A summer advice

For the ones who are still some place where the sun is actually shining happily (I'm afraid that won't be Denmark)... Use sunscreen!
