IFFR 2011

Today I went to the last International Film Festival Rotterdam-day of this year. But not as a visitor, no! As a volunteer. I never thought "work" could be so much fun. Hihi!
I've watched 3 movies for nothing. Blue Valentine, Zephyr and last but not least; below a minor success. I just could not resist sharing this one with!

"A man stays alone with his children in a half demolished house in the middle of a desolate field. His wife has just been killed by a granade in a military combat. He is expecting a new attack. Instead a wandering caravan of Circus Fantasticus stops by the house. They bring along the dying director of the circus. Is it possible for anything beautiful to happen in a landscape of war and death? Can life go on? Is it possible to realize that death does not exist?"

It is hard to believe, but a film without speaking CAN be really awesome!

5 Things I Love Monday

Happy monday to y'all! I just woke up and thought it would be nice to share a few little 'I love' pleasures of me.

1. Sewing. I really like the feeling of being creative. Making my own wallets, teddy bears, pillows etc. Maybe I should start my own webshop or rent a box @ The Hubshop and sell my stuff..!

2. Optimism. Such an important part of me. Can't even imagine how it would be without it!

3. Tea. My daily cup of tea gives me a warm feeling, clears my head out and tastes soooo good!

4. Being childish. Love looking at kids TV, cuddling my totoro-teddybear, create my own words like 'floepiekoekie' and acting like a spoiled little kid.

5. Blankets. Nothing beats lying on the couch watching TV with a blanket.

It's the final countdown

Ohoh shame on me! Totally forgot to post my top 5 yesterday..
