people are people

I am the one who believes in all that you say
I am the one who never wants to define herself
I am the one who’s paralel, upfront, behind
I am the one paddling like crazy through the night

Refine, old time, colourblind
Big sign, do time, doesn’t rhyme
A lot, too much, standing tall
And I’m crying in the valley:
“I shall never, ever fall!”

People are people and I feel so strong
People are people and I’m going on

I am the one who stirs it up everytime
I am the one who never knows how close she is
I am the one who’d rather be dead than confess
I am the one trying to be good, wanting to be bad and so on

Excess, temptress, big mess
Phoney, lonely, it’s a test
Be still my heart, don’t you fail
And I’m crying on the stagefloor:
“I will always prevail!”

I’m going on…

saturday 9:13 am (cellphone ringing)

"huh...? heee...llooo ?" picking up the phone at this hour after queen's night party till 5 am is quite a challenge.
"you're coming to a concert with me"
"huh???" still incoherent
"concert, tomorrow, 8:30, amsterdam"
"which concert?"
"incognito"
"how much?" i am suddenly awake
"i took care of the ticket. so, what's the word?"
"i'm there"
"leidseplein 7:30"

tulips, anyone?

biscuit and i decided to check out the tulips, after all, we are in holland and it was a good day to soak up the sun. thought we'd be bored looking at flowers for hours. absolutely not the case.

pasqua

i (the indonesian) together with my favorite german, italian, irish and lithuanian went to easter mass in the hague (read: the egg). it was an english mass which lasted a bit longer than usual because there were people being baptized, given their first communion, you name it. almost all sacraments were there, as the irish said... all we need now is a wedding in this mass...

then we went to a chinese lunch at Kee Lun Palace in Den Haag's chinatown...

how's that for an eclectic easter?

walking on air...

got an internship! phew......

i have been anxious since friday, the day the company said they would get back to me with their decision. and finally today, while dreading going to my spanish class for lack of things to talk about (in spanish), i opened my email...and there it was, i got it!

dead tired today... but even while walking in the cold i could joyfully hum a song all the way home from campus...

take five

dave brubeck's take five to cure my monday blues from my favorite lithuanian...

paris?

yes, i know, along with millions of other people, i too jumped on the bandwagon and read dan brown's the da vinci code. i am not a big fan of mystery, but i must admit that reading this book makes me want to see (or revisit) all the art works mentioned in it. just curious, i want to pay a closer attention this time. so...today i woke up with the thought... weekend in paris?

...white...

rotterdam is so beautiful today. it is covered in white. i think it is the most beautiful rotterdam has ever been since the day i arrived 6 months ago.

museum freak

surprise, surprise, rotterdam finally came out of its slumber today! it's museum night...when the museums and galleries in the city are open until 2am. if only rotterdam could stay this way all the time...
