The Night of the Proms.. ~28th of October

Hi everyone!
Last sunday I have been going to the Night of the Proms! It was a great afternoon we had. I went there with Natalie Bijl and we had a very pleasant day! There were again a lot of artist and off course Mr Karl was back again! We heard some great songs.. one of them the theme of Shindler's List (the sadest SONG ever.. by.. offcourse the great and genius John Williams!)

I heard the Romeo and Juliet theme of Prokovief.. The theme of Pirates of the Caribbean and another well-known theme songs.. We saw Macy Gray and she sung her greatest hit from a few years back.. We saw Kid Creole, Chic (famous band with some songs I knew!) there also was the famous 'night of the proms' choir, Fine Fleur who give out there best! A great surprise to see 'Soulsister' as well, a band from the 90's. I was surprised I even knew theire songs as well :P
We saw a Piano Virtuoos (don't know how it's in English tho..) but he could play the piano I assure you!! He even entered the Queen Elisabeth compitition as well.. so he's damn good.. We saw Robby Lakatosh, a very good violin player!

My overal conclusion of this day is thusfar.. there was a lot of classical music, more then last year.. so they did that right! (If it was my Night of the proms.. there wouldn't be ANY popmusic :P)
The visual effects were also a bit annoying.. (still special, but.. the 'special' wore off after 2 or 3 songs)
There wasn't a surprise act as wel.. that was a pity..
The artists were spectacular! But the fell out off tone between all the orchastra.. especially Kid Creole.. (he was good.. I liked him - he made me think of the Mask! with his special clothes and stuff..) But it seemed he didn't fitted into the theme of Night of the proms..
Like Macy Gray.. but the standerd of her microphone covered with diamonds was too much... :S (I know.. i'm jalous..) I really liked the 'duet' of Macy with Brown.. (nicely done!) though..
There wasn't a spectacular guest unfortunatly.. but hey, overall it was okay.. I think last year was a bit better though.. Who'd had thought I allready know of Soulsister.. there music was quite known too.. I sung with every one of them!
At a bit before 6 we took off at the trainstation. Last year we had to wait more then half an hour to get on a train, now we were one of the first ones! :D
The we finally get back home.. and we went for dinner in the Colmar.. (and what a nice restaurant that was!) WOW.. I really liked it, and it was good.. The perfect ending for a nice day :)
Thank You Natalie, and a Big Thank you for Natalie's Parents :)

Maybe next year...

Hi everybody!

How are you peepz doing?

I'm really drowning in work.. i'm so neglecting my Blog right now.. Sorry for that! My thoughts are still with this blog, I just don't have time anymore.. Where's that timetravelerthingy from Harry Potter when you need one!? Ugh... The life of a senior sure isn't living! My Final year at highschool wasn't that hard compared to this! I'm sorry, don't mean to be so annoying to you all. I need a bit of complaining once in a while.. :P I don't see Mic anymore! Feeling rather lonely...

Now i'm doing nothing at all so therefore i'm here :D (the main reason i'm not doing anyting is I don't have a clue with wich work i'm starting tonight. I can't choose.. DAMN! I considered to list all my works to do, but that would be a never ending story.. I have assignments for Psychologie, Religion, practice, The Bachelor Test, Dutch... AAAArgh.. Is there a store for buying time!? :P

Now we finally have a week of.. It's Autumn vacation/break, one week. Vacation! (bit of sarcasm there) It will be working from 9 to 5! :P After this we have one week of practice. I'm going to my old school *St Hendriks College* (see Posts from my Practice weeks of 2006-2007) I'm starting in the eerste leerjaar (first grade?) with a collegue from Balo (Hannelore) it will be sooooo different then in Kindergarten! Pfffff.. all those things to do! I have to give, French, Languages, math, fysics, swimming, religion.. and so on! Ant that on another level then were used too! It will be a challenge! Some of my children (I have 18) still know me! Great huh!? And some of the other children came from *Zusters Maricolen* (where I had my 'peuterstage' at the Korterijksesteenweg) they also still knew me! Great! Some of the children asked my how Toeter was as well! :D wow,.. my first observing day was really fantastic! I enjoyed myself with the children!

Now.. the major thing I'll be doing at Autumn break is working for this practice, the meaning of this challenge is to get to know the first grade and there specific kinds of working, how to read, how to do math and so on! A real challenge!

But that's not the only thing i'll be doing! I have a filled week ahead of me, with working on my Psychology paper (about ADD) working on my BP (thesis), going to *the Night of the Proms* on sunday and going to *the Boekenbeurs* (a sort of big bookfestival with loads of people and off course.. BOOKS)

So this is also the kind of things i'm putting on this blog as well! :D

1: The Night of the Proms..

this started off a few days back and will end somewhere in November.. I went already last year with Natalie and this year I'll be going with Natalie again!

Some great peeps are coming (like Macy Gray!)

This day where classical meets pop always is a joy to look at (many visuals to be seen) and the atmosphere always is very nice!

I'll be going on Sunday to Antwerp, the Night of the proms is held in 'the Sportpaleis' in Antwerpen.

Look out for my report on this one!

2. The Boekenbeurs.. (the Bookfestival)

This is also held in Antwerp, but on a bigger location! It's a dozen rooms filled with books, books and more books! And sometimes there is a writer stuck between his or her books to give signatures away!

Very, very interesting this is! You see new books, you can buy books. There are publishers, writers, and lots of people!

The boekenbeurs begins on the 31th of October and ends on the 11th of November. I'll be going as well!! This is always great to go to! I love books :D.

If you wanna see some books.. go to this! It's one of the biggest events held in Belgium!

==> see here :D http://www.boekenbeurs.be/ (you can also find wich writers are coming! always interesting)

Then some other *Sara news*

Song of the month: *October*

Hi everybody!

I'm again a bit sorry, i'm really busy these days. I'm doing my best to keep my blog updated :) Here is my song of the month *October*.. it's "Wake me up, when september ends" from Greenday, from their album American Idiot. I really like Greenday! They are a fun group with lots of great songs. I memorised all the songs from American Idiot. The best album I recently bought from them. Wake me up.. clip was about war in Iraq (I think it was) and was the first time I saw and meet Greenday, a few weeks later I bought American Idiot from Ebay! I still love this album! It's a bit pop-rock and just great! I recommend this album to everyone.

Here are the lyrics to this great song!

Have fun!

Love

Wake me up when september ends..

Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass

seven years has gone so fast

wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again

falling from the stars

drenched in my pain again

becoming who we are

as my memory rests

but never forgets what I lost

wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed

the innocent can never last

wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again

like we did when spring began

wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again

falling from the stars

drenched in my pain again

becoming who we are

as my memory rests

but never forgets what I lost

wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

wake me up when september ends

like my father's come to pass

twenty years has gone so fast

wake me up when september ends

wake me up when september ends

wake me up when september ends
