Materialist Monday #1

I am terribly materialistic. I admit it. In the positive sense of the word of course, I mean, I don't actually love things more than humans or anything, I just love things. I love my laptop, I love my ipod, my books, my clothes, my make up.
I just love things.

So I thought, why not make it into a series on my blog? Since I've abandoned my blog again lately.

Narnia

One of the things I love most is my copy of The Complete Chronicles of Narnia. It was a birthday present from my mother, my sister and my cousin. 

I've been a great fan of the Narnia films since I was twelve. I know The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian word for word. That is not a joke. My best friend and I would just go through the whole movie on our way to school and back. When I was fourteen I received this as a present. It's to this day one of the best birthday presents I've ever received. This, and the Owl City concert ticket I received for my fifteenth birthday.

My favourite of all five books will forever be The Horse and his Boy. The way everything falls into place at the end of the story is just amazing. I've learned so many things by reading these books, and I'm glad I got to experience them. 

I will always treasure this book, it's very special to me. I plan on reading this to my kids (whenever there will be kids, you never know). The only problem is that my kids will probably be Dutch, so I'd have to raise them bilingual just to be able to read this to them..

I'm also going to try to keep this blog alive a bit again. Which I say all the time, but I like doing this. So I just should.

Well, either way, I hope you have a great day!

Love,
Mia

The Rest of May

A lot happened in May! As you might know, I went to Oslo, Norway with a group of fellow students, the first weekend of May. You can check out the post I wrote about that last week here. For the rest I had a lot of exams and assignments to do. It wasn't the best of months, but ignoring the non-stop studying I did, I did some fun things as well.

For example, I had a wedding! My cousin got married and it was such a beautiful day. It rained most of the day, but that was nothing compared to the happiness that poured out of the faces of the happy couple.

Like I said a while ago, I really want to read more. I bought two books in May, The Hobbit in Norwegian and Summer Falls and Other Stories. The last one is a book that features in a Doctor Who episode. In the episode Amelia Pond has written the book, and therefore I am very excited to actually own it. I went a bit mad when I was in Waterstones in Amsterdam (best bookstore I've ever been to, it has a lovely atmosphere) and bought two Doctor Who magazines as well.. If I hadn't decided to leave after I found Summer Falls, I'd have bought even more.

On that same day I found this awesome Marvel T-Shirt that looks awesome with my leather jacket:

I'm very excited about this combination, can you tell?

Of course my song of the.. month? has to be Where No One Goes by Jónsi, because How To Train Your Dragon 2 is almost coming out and this song was released a while ago :) I am super excited about the film, and especially the songs in it that Jónsi wrote! Tell me what you think about this song!

I also wanted to say how extremely excited I am that I'm almost going to Bergen! I am planning on vlogging as much as I can, and sharing the videos here. That way I'll have the whole month documented and I can keep my people back home up to date :) I hope to maybe inspire someone out there as well!

Hope you have a splendid week and I will speak to you next week!

Love,
Mia (& a kiss from Floortje)
