grand opening toni&guy antwerp [Jan. 28th, 2005|12:44 pm]
[mood |relaxedrelaxed]
[music |placebo]

so last night was the big opening of the new toni&guy salon here in antwerp and of course we had to be there
(christoph had been to a job interview in august, and instead of the three required models, he only cut my hair and he was immediatly hired if he wanted to... but he refused)

i must say that the reception of the new salon was looking very nice but once i got to the back, where the washing, cutting and colouring area is, i thought "what a waste of money".
then there were the models and i didn't like what they had done to their hair, but maybe i'm just brainwashed by vidal sassoon.

my overall experience last night? it was a very fake crowd, my guess was that the toilets were most of the time used to blow some coke up their noses, and i really didn't have a good time (i really don't like it when people look at me in the most dissaproving way possible) plus one of their stylists told me how 'hard' the three months of training were: "i had to spend two weeks, only cutting a basic bobline but my boss never liked it because the outline was not straight" and i guess that says enough about their cutting skills.

countdown for london... [Jan. 27th, 2005|04:17 pm]

VIDAL SASSOON HERE WE COME

10 more days and we're leaving for london. Everything is arranged: we got our traintickets for the eurostar, our hotel is booked, the course is booked... All I have to do next week is get some (a lot of) british pounds and pack my bags. I'm actually really excited. Not that I'm a hairdresser but ever since I'm together with Christoph, I'm all into hairdressing and Vidal Sassoon (I'm always watching the VS videos with him, I translated his "Cutting Hair the Vidal Sassoon Way"-book so that I at least know what he's talking and I just LOVE what they do)

I'm coming along as his interpretor so I'll be following the whole course as well! (+ that way I'll be able to take millions of pictures as well, making sure that the 1500 Euros that he paid for the course will pay off) The great thing is though that two weeks after we get back VS will be giving a show here in Belgium so what I'm going to try to do is get us backstage ;) Maybe we'll even find the "golden ticket" hidden under one of the seats to go on a free course.

I really can't wait to go and when we get back I will defenitly post some pictures here.

i think i'm back, not quite sure... [Apr. 17th, 2004|02:04 pm]
[mood |indescribableindescribable]
[music |Thou - Can't get (www.thou.be)]

it's been a really long time i know but maybe i'm back :)

a lot has happened in the last couple of months so maybe it's best that i start at the beginning.

from the very beginning my new boyfriend stayed the night so much that after a few weeks he was actually living with me. so far things are still going great and i am feeling very much in love. him moving in with me happened very naturally and apparently we are compatible cause in more than three months time we haven't had one single fight yet.

also in january i had my horrible exams, but they turned out to be quite well so i could go skiing without too many worries except for the fact that i had to leave the new bf at home alone :(  ever since my exams are over, time has been flying by.

the last major events i remember are the following and they both happened two weeks ago. first of all my best friend turns out to be pregnant. she is 22 and has a bf for almost a year and turns out to be pregnant for eight weeks now which is actually quite impossible since she took birth control and a month ago her gynaecologist did a pregnancy test which was negative. but she is going to keep the baby and i am going to be the godmother so i'll give her all the support she needs.

the second thing that happened last week was quite frightening for me. last year i moved in to my new appartment and after a lot of work it was finally fully finished. so last week the furnace of the house next to mine exploded with a huge inferno to follow. i saw the flames come in through my small hallway windows so i thought i was about to loose everything i have. but the fire department was here quick enough to put that fire out and they saved 15 people out of the burning house. so the next day i go up the stairs and check the hallway windows and i see there's smoke coming out under my rooftop. i went up there to check it out: my roof was slowly but surely burning down and it had been doing that for more than a day. so i called the fire department again and they ripped the whole thing apart to put the fire out completely. doing so they ruined my bedroom which is now soaking wet. my bed, my clothes, my walls, everything (thank god i'm insured)

i'm thinking that now i've had all the bad luck that i could possibly have so things must change now (maybe i'll win the lottery next week or so)

i had only wished for one thing to happen in 2004... [Jan. 8th, 2004|01:32 pm]
[mood |lovedloved]
[music |blur - look inside america]

and four days later i get what i want. i couldn't be more happy right now. you know why? coz i got a boyfriend !!!

just like that, all of a sudden christoph seemed to have fallen madly in love with me (isn't it great when your loved one feels the same way?) the last couple of days have been magic. at first he was like: let's take it slow. i just got over my last girlfriend and i don't want to get hurt again. but apparently he isn't taking it slow at all. he's talking about me the whole time to other people and after work i'm first person he wants to see.

i feel like screaming, i'm that happy !!! i can't wait to see him after work

i just hope i'm not going to end up hurt again but for now everything feels so right, it hurts you know.

what's that smell? [Jan. 3rd, 2004|01:06 pm]
[mood |nostalgicnostalgic]
[music |it's really quiet right now]

that's the smell of chocolate muffins baking in my oven. i just love to bake so i decided to try out my muffin plate that i got for christmas. so far so good, they are rising and they still smell great.
this is just a great reason to invite people over. since it is so cold outside, just sit in the livingroom with a cup of tea and my muffins. i'm feeling like a little kid again :)

a new year, a new start [Jan. 1st, 2004|01:13 pm]
[mood |annoyedannoyed]

and guess what, when i woke up this morning, my garden was covered in a thin layer of snow. i had never seen any snow before here in the city and as i watched the street there was not a lot of snow to be seen but it is still snowing right now and the layer in my small city garden is growing thicker (maybe i'll be able to build a snowman)

last night didn't really turn out as expected. i had dinner with some friends which was great. then we went to see the fireworks on the riverside at 12 which would've been great if all those stupid 13-14 y/o didn't start throwing these really loud firecrackers into the crowd (i thought i'd be deaf right now but i can still hear myself type so i guess i'm ok). but not only firecrackers, they were even throwing fireworks into the crowd, so now my favourite pants are ruined because they caught fire. (not funny you know) we tried to not let it get us down so we moved into the city with the crowd (you know, more firecrackers) but everywhere, everthing, every place was fully packed so there we stood in the cold. thank god for the little stands that sold gluhwein. when we came back to my place around 2 o'clock to think about what we were going to do, i was getting so tired that i just fell asleep. when i woke up after my little nap i told the others to go have fun and gave them the key to my appartment. after an hour they came back because they weren't having any fun at all. and nobody even got drunk !!!

great start of the year 2004 i must say but at least it started covered in snow...

I think I'm in love !!! [Dec. 31st, 2003|01:47 pm]

[music |Jestofunk - Seventy miles from Philadelphia]

so saturday i went out with christophe and we had a great time but nothing happened (so i was feeling a bit blue on sunday). but we decided to go see lord of the rings yesterday, so he would come over after work, i would make dinner and we would go to the movies but we never actually did.

we did have dinner, drank some (maybe a bit too much) wine, talked, listened to music, went to some friends, chilled and relaxed there, saw a movie and came back to my place. i convinced him to stay the night (coz' he had way too much to drink to still go and drive home) and he did, but nothing happened. he just lay next to me but he didn't even hold me while sleeping :( i did get to see him naked though and i must say: hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!

anyways, this morning he got up, let me sleep, did my dishes and then woke me up because he wanted to take me out for breakfast. it's just all these little things that make me fall in love with him. there's only one problem: for now he doesn't really feel like having a girlfriend because next week it'll be one year since his former girlfriend (for 4 years) had dumped him (and he's feeling quite sad about that right now) and since i am totally ready for a boyfriend i don't want those one night stands anymore (and i guess that's why nothing happened last night because we both know how the other feels)
so right now i really don't know what to do... we did make all these plans of things we would do together like going to italy and berlin and all kinds of other fun things. i just feel so good around him and i can't wait for him to come around again (coz he forgot some cd's and his cigarettes so i guess it won't be that long)

for now gilles is out of the picture and christophe is totally in it :)
