Info, reviews and fun stuff!

Hello everyone, it has been a while since the last time that I updated my blog. So to make a long story short I will try to make a attempt to let you all know what I am up to and what have been happening lately. And most of all, my plans for the future!

First off all, I almost finished my study. About more then a week ago I had my end presentation at school. There was a total of 35 listeners and it took me 40 minutes for my presentation. The presentation went perfect and their were not a lot of questions which mean I put up a good story (I hope). So now it is time for me to wait two weeks until I know if I passed my study or not. Wish me luck!

Next week I got my second interview for a company which approached me for a job. This is a nice change cause as starters they contacted me, and second of all they offer me a job which I like to do.

A other great news is that my sister gave birth to a baby. It is a cute little boy and so cute to see. The mom is doing perfect, and so is the baby. A few tough times but he will be all good. It is lovely to see a new life get on this world.

Yet this world also has some downsides. This week I also lost my granddad. It is still a bit unclear to me how he died but it is better for me to only know he died in a peaceful way as far I know. He had a good and long life and he will surely be missed!

Now some more good news. Only a few weeks and I will be in Florida with a good friend of mine. It is Disney time then and I am sure we will have the time of our life. Of course we will take loads of pictures and this time I will do my best to also write a little blog (If I am not having too much fun!).

As I don’t have school work at the moment I am trying to do the things I wanted to do when I was studying. Except hanging out with friends, gaming and cleaning (which my mom wants me to do and not me) I also want to work on my website (this site yea). I want to change the layout of this blog. Make it more in different sections like Personal, Rambling, Gaming and some more. Also do I want to make some in-game movies of the game I am playing lately (Battlefield 2142) and do more with DIALux and my portfolio. But most important, even tho it sounds strange I want to get this job and start working a normal 5-days work week with the evenings off!!

Well, this is all for now. Will do my best to keep you all up to date from now on.

Hello all, it has been a while since I posted a update about the things in my life. A lot has happened in the past few moments and I decided for myself to just post it on here. I won’t bother you all with the negative things but just bring joy with all the positive things that happened.

To make it a bit easier for you all to read I will just post little parts about the activities that happened.

Disneyland Paris,
Let’s start off with one of the best things that happened. I went to Disneyland Paris! And yes, I got a picture with Mickey to prove it! I went with a good friend of mine, Ragdoll. We stayed for a total of 4 days and had a lot of fun. During those 4 days we were able to almost get into every ride we wanted to do and seen a lot of parades and characters. On top of that we had dinner in Cafe Mickey, a restaurant where the characters walk by your table and go on the picture with you. You are never too old to go to Disneyland and meet the awesome characters. A bonus was that we went around Halloween so the whole park was transformed into a Halloween theme.

Study,
This will probably be the first time I write positive about my study. I been working hard lately on my study and got a internship at a good company. They help me out lots with my study and now the exam commission even accepted my projects and allowed me to make those for graduation. This takes away a lot of pressure of my shoulders but also give me new pressure as I need to work well on my projects to graduate. Wish me luck!

Uncle Avalon,
Yes, I am going to become a uncle. My 4 years younger sister brought me this news last week. She is pregnant for 17 weeks already and I will become a uncle. Yay! I am very proud of my younger sister. Though I always thought I would be the first to get a kid. But then again, life is a mystery and you never know what will happen. Still I am really happy for her and can’t wait to take my uncle duties on me. By the way, I know the gender already but keeping it a secret from you guys.

Darts,
A few months ago I started playing darts again. I really enjoy this ‘sport’. It’s rather easy to start with and in the beginning you don’t need to spend much money into it. I did, but that just because I needed new darts and thought by myself that if I am going to buy new darts I could just buy a set of good ones right away. In the mean while I changed my darts a lot by changing the shafts and use different flights. I even bought my dad a new set darts for his birthday a while back and he is almost throwing me off the board. Luckily I am still better at checking out then him.

Friends,
The last few days/weeks/months I have seen and been realizing who my true friends are. I told earlier I wouldn’t go all negative in this post so I won’t either. I just wanted to say that now a day’s there are a lot of backstabbers and fake friends out there. And I am happy that the ones I call my friends are really 100% my friends and trust them completely. I am happy that whenever I am down or just need to vent there are people out there to comfort me and make me feel better. And I love you all for that. You take the meaning friendship to a whole other level.

Dialux,
Most of you probably don’t know what this mean or what it is. A view of you maybe will as you seen the video’s I posted on YouTube about it. Just to give a short instruction about it, DIALux is a program to draw rooms in a 3D environment and plant lights in them. Mostly used by companies to make light plans in them for clients. I started to use this program for work but am starting to enjoy it also on a more personal basis. I really enjoy the creating of an area and see how it comes to live with the right use of lights. It gives me an artistic feeling and hope to do more with this. The downside is that school is keeping me busy which doesn’t give me much time to play with the program. But I do hope to do more with it now and in the future.

Well, this is kind of all I had to say for now. I think I got more to tell but can’t find the words for it so I will save that for a next time. I do want to thank all of you who read this and hope you will leave a small reply.

With that said its time for me to say bye bye and end this post with my name.
