So, is it fall or winter?

So, okay, normally our Summers aren't really that great, but they're okay.

But this year, it was horrible. It was cold and rainy from May to now.
We've had only 6 sunny days with high temperatures and no, I'm not joking.

What's happened has happened and we can't turn back time but it passes by and right now, I'm not really looking forward to Fall or Winter. It's officially fall now and it feels like winter outside.

It's been raining for 3 days now, very cold. It's exactly 46Fahrenreit here. That's 8Celcius for those who are in Europe.

So I was thinking about the climats and how everything depends on humanity and what we want to do about it. Because it might be cold out here for some reason, but there are places where it's still insanely hot and it keeps getting hotter and hotter. We're responsible for the global warmth and if you have no clue about what it is, just check this out.

I recommend you to go see the movie!

Driving slow on Sunday morning, and I never want to leave.

So, don't you just love lazy Sunday mornings/afternoons?

I do. It's just the best thing in the world, to sleep in until you can't sleep anymore, drink a good
cup of coffee and make yourself a little breakfast.

What's even better is when you're completely alone in the house. You wake up and all there is silence,the sunshine shining through the curtains and peace.

My parents and little brothers wnet away for a weekend and I had one of my best friends coming over to my house last night. Her boyfriend joined us and it was pretty funny.

We watched cabaret and dutch entertainment shows on YouTube and couldn't stop laughing. They left at about 3 'o clock and I slept at about 4 'o clock. I woke up this morning at around 10AM and went down the stairs to eat breakfast.

Right now, I'm kind of working at my dad's hotel but there aren't any guests so I can just do things for myself.

It's a sunny day for the first day in weeks and I'm just happy and smiling.

If you're still searching for an after-summer song you should really take a look/listen to this one :

Yves Larock - Rise up

It's definitely been my favourite song of this summer and I'm pretty sure you'll be singing it after you've heard it for the first time.

With this song, I end my post.

Rise up, don't falling down again!

Love,
Elle.

Let me introduce myself to you.

Hello everyone,

Whether you're on the other side of the world or in the same street, welcome to my blog.

Isn't internet the best invention of the last two decades, next to iPods,DVD's,DVD Players and cellphones?

So, let's see how I can introduce myself the best to you....

My full name is Axelle Nathalie Amélie van Vliet , but it's Elle short.
I turned eightteen last June 14th, which means I'm born in 1989.
Currently I live and study in Rotterdam, I'm studying Tourism.
I've got three little brothers, who are ages 10,3 and 2.
I've got two best friends, Angela & Jenny, both very opposite.
My hobby's are listening to music,reading books/mags/journals, watching my favourite soap opera As The World Turns, traveling, watcing classic movies and hanging out with my friends.

If there's one thing I can't live without it's music. You'll always see me walking down the street with two earphones, my face in total ''no look'' mode and my thoughts only set on the music and lyrics. My friends are irritated by the fact that I never stop playing the music. It's either playing on my iPod,on the radio,on the television, on my computer or theirs.

Second, I love watching Classic Turner Movie Channel or the soap opera As The World Turns.
I know pretty much EVERYTHING about what happened in the last 10 years. That's when I started watching by the way.

For the people who watch ATWT and like Jack/Katie, I put up a YouTube channel with their clips :

I live by quotes, I've got too many of them that explain exactly how I feel. I'll post quotes when I feel like it.

Next to that, I'll be keeping this blog as some kind of diary, only without the secrets of course, LOL.

I hope you'll keep reading.

Love,
Elle
