Hej everyone!

Once again it was a pretty busy and hectic week. The school year is coming to an end and it seems like everything has to be done at the last minute. There are just lots of things to do in very little time. Next Wednesday starts my fourth and final exam week of this year. So in some spare hours here and there I also try to prepare myself for that.

This past Thursday we were supposed to have a working afternoon, as they call it at my school, from biology. In our exam week we have a plant test, and for this test we have to know 150 different plants. So the plan was to go biking on this afternoon and on the way we were going to look at all the different plants we would see. Unfortunately the weather was really bad, so they had to cancel the afternoon. It was raining and thundering the whole time. My biology teachers still have to decide what we are going to do to make sure that we can still do the test. Yesterday we also had a biology cl@ss and we always have a break after that period, so during that time we went biking instead. We saw lots of plants during our little trip, so I'm pretty confident that everything will be oke for my test next week.

I also heard this week that my math teacher got fired. Maybe this sounds a bit harsh, bit it didn't surprise me one bit. He was probably the worst teacher I've ever had and I'm glad to hear that he won't be teaching me next year. One problem about him getting fired is the fact that he still has to finish the year, and obviously he isn't in the mood anymore to explain us something. The cl@ss yesterday was not that good, to say the least. We had to repeat all the chapters we made in the last couple of weeks, for our test next week, but because he was very moody he didn't do such a good job at it. He would write something down on the board and he'd also say something with it, but it didn't make any sense, so then my friend and I had to figure out everything ourselves. I was really looking at the board, like: oke, what could this mean? And after a while I would be like: oke, I got it! And then I explained it to my friend. It also went the other way around and this way we still managed to understand everything he put down.

On Tuesday I finally watched Cloverfield and I must say that I loved this movie! Because of the extraordinary camera view the movie got that little something special to it. Besides, if the story was going in the directing of a certain cliché, something would happen that would throw the whole story around. The movie kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. If you haven't seen it yet, you really should, because I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I also watched Waitress a little over a week ago. This is a movie that maybe isn't known to many people, but I happened to stumble across it a while ago. It's about a waitress (yes I know, what a surprise! ), who is very unhappily married and she is saving up some money without her husband knowing to get away. But then she finds out she's pregnant, so that kind off puts a hold on her plans. On top of this, she falls in love with her gynaecologist.

I thought it was a very unique movie in its sort. It isn't the normal romantic movie, but it has a little twist to it. The acting is also great! Nathan Fillion, who stars in Desperate Housewives as Adam Mayfair, is in it as well.

Oke, so I was also faced with the hard task to come up with a new game, since Christine won the connection game! Once again congrats Christine! You're now officially the connection game queen!

Here's your price buddy, I hope you like them:

I must say, it was pretty hard to come up with something, but in the end I did. My new game is called 'What am I talking about'. I give you a clue about a certain tv show, movie or actor/actress and then you have to guess what it is I'm talking about. Easy he?

Since this is the first time, I will make this an easy one:

  • One of the main characters in this show had a dog called Paul Anka. What show am I talking about?

I hope you like my idea for a new game and good luck guessing everyone!

And, last but not least some other news: I went up a level! The past level seemed to take me ages, but now I'm finally at level 11! I really like the title I know have, I'm a Red Shirted Lieutenant! And a funny star trek icon that goes with it!

This week's joke/funny story:

In France, the young assistant priests do not live in the main rectory. That is reserved for the priest and his housekeeper. One day the priest invited his new young assistant priest to have dinner at the rectory. While being served, the young priest noticed how shapely and lovely the housekeeper was and down deep in his heart he wondered if there was more between the priest and the housekeeper.

After the meal was over, the middle-aged priest assured the young priest that everything was purely professional...that she was the housekeeper and cook and that was that. About a week later the housekeeper came to the priest and said, "Father, ever since the new assistant came for dinner I have not been able to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose he took it, do you?" The priest said, "Well, I doubt it but I'll write him a letter."

So he sat down and wrote, "Dear Father, I'm not saying you did take the gravy ladle and I'm not saying you did not take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that it has been missing since you were here for dinner."

The young assistant received the letter and he answered it as follows: "Dear Father priest, I'm not saying that you do sleep with the housekeeper and I'm not saying that you do not sleep with the housekeeper. But I do know for sure that if you slept in your own bed you would find the gravy ladle."

This week's question:

What was the last movie you watched and what did you think of it?

Song of the week:

The Shins - Know Your Onion!

The Shins is a band that was recommended to me by my brother. This song is from their first album and I love it. The Shins is an amazing pop band, with great and special songs. They are probably a bit different then the normal pop bands you here on the radio, but this sure doesn't make them any less worthy to listen to.

Here's the link to the song, if you want to check it out:

I guess that was it from me again! I hope you enjoyed it! My blogs always tend to become longer then I previously expected!

Have an amazing weekend!

*Lots of hugs!*

Hey Fieke!

Great blog again, Your math teacher does sound terrible I had loads of teachers like that in school they can be annoying. Congrats on the new level Cool new game, dont know the answer thought so I will just say Friends Last film I watched was Indy 4 it was great as you know from my review. Glad to see you finally watched Cloverfield, It amazing, I have been waiting to see it again since I went to the movies to watch it. Have a great weekend.

Hej David!

You're fast! I'm glad you liked the blog! Teachers like this one sure can be annoying! And they bring down your grades as well! The school should give everybody an extra point on their test or something!

Thanks! Haha that was a good guess, but shockinly that isn't correct!

Yes, I read your review. Like I said on your blog I'm not really planning on watching it, although I'm really curious about Shia's role! It really was an amazing movie! You should really watch it again! When I watched it, it was my brother's second time as well, and he always says with a good movie it's even better the second time, because you notice more things.

Have a great weekend as well!

Firstly, I love the wentworth pictue at the top. How do you do that? . And Secondly, I miss you so much, I will be back for good after my exams. Thirdly, lest read the blog. Sorry about you week being hectic and busy. But good luck in your last exam of the year. And when do you break up for Summer? I think June is so ealy, we brea up mid-July. Anyway...Sorry about you having a bad maths teacher for like a year, that sucks but I'm glad he got fired. I'm glad you loved Cloverfield, haven't seen it yet, but when David gets it on dvd I will watch it. Congratulations to Chrissy, I thought it was too hard. Congratulatiosn on your level up too. I moved up a level too. Love the joke. Very good. Love the question of the week. Okay I watched "Stomp The Yard" and I thought is was amazing, and there is so many sexy, young boys in it. I would watch it again and again and not get bored. I love the coool new game but I have no idea. Like always. But I'm just going to guess, is it off... Desperate Housewives? Awesome blog Fieke! Take care. *Huge Massive Miss You Hugs*
Love you.
xo.

Hej Sarah!

I'm glad you like the pic! You go to edit my profile, then you click at blog at the top and then you select a picture as header image. I miss you so much as well! It's great to hear that you will be completely back again soon!
Reading the blog is only thirdly?

Thanks so much buddy! I break up for summer officialy on the 27th of June, so I'll be finishing earlier then you I see!

Yes, it can be really irritating having such a bad teacher, but at least I know for sure I won't get him next year! It was an amazing movie and you should really go and watch it as soon as you get the chance!

Haha well Chrissy was just too good!
Thanks! Well congrats to you then as well!
I'm glad you liked the joke!
Ohh well when I hear many, sexy young boys then this is a movie I have to go and watch!
I see why you didn't get bored then!
I'm glad you like the new game! Unfortunately DH isn't correct! Just think of another show I really like, besides Friends and Desperate Housewives then.
I'm glad you liked the blog!
Good luck on your exams and take care as well!
*massive miss you hugs!* Love you!

Exams almost over, great Good luck in them Gotta admit the Camera work was awesome in Cloverfield
Posted May 31, 2008 3:24 pm PT
Hey Fieke! Awesome blog! I now have loads to comment on.

I remember having a maths teacher who didn't really teach to well... she ended up leaving, it is pretty bad thinking about it now, but we were quite happy to see her go

What exactly is Cloverfield about? From your recommendation I may actually go watch it.. and I really really wanted to see Waitress too! That looked really good!!

LOVE those cakes! Now I really want some cake too!! OH OH OH and I know what tv show you're talking about!! It's Gilmore Girls isn't it?? Loreli had a dog called Paul Anka.

The last movie I watched was 'Made of Honor' with my bf.. I didn't think he liked it as much as me but it was good.

Anyways, bye Fieke.. *hugs*

Posted May 31, 2008 4:17 pm PT
Wow those cake pics are great.. good luck with your math teacher!!!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 12:24 am PT
Okay then erm..Gilmore girls? Just guessing now like, I hope I win!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 1:15 am PT
And funny story..
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:03 am PT
Hey Fieke!! *wave frantically*

Sorry you had a busy week hope it gets better and less hectic for you soon
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:29 am PT

Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:31 am PT
Never heard about Waitress though
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:33 am PT
CONGRATS CHRISSY!!

she wouldn't mind sharing some of those cakes, right?
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:34 am PT
I totally LOVE that new game
You always have great ideas!!!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:35 am PT
And the answer to it is obviousely Gilmore Girls
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:36 am PT
CONGRATIOLATION BUDDY!
You went up a level! woohoo!!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:38 am PT
*clap clap*
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:39 am PT
Fieke buddy I haent seen cloverfield yet either but i want to...
those cakes..YUMMMMMMMMMMM
hope you have a good week my friend
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:39 am PT
Hej Vman!

Thanks so much! I'll be so glad once they are all done! And well done of course!

The camera work sure was amazing! Without it the movie wouldn't nearly be as good!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:39 am PT
That story!!!

Where do you find all those funny things?
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:40 am PT
The last movie I've seen... Umm, I think that was Ocean's 11

I've seen it like a 1000 times before, but I really love this movie. And plus, it was the only thing to watch on TV
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:45 am PT
Hej Hayley!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Haha well I always love a good long comment!

Well that's the way I feel about it as well! It sounds a bit harsh to say you're happy someone got fired, but I kind of are! Cloverfield is about a group of friends in New York who are throwing one of them a party because he is leaving. Then a unknown monster starts destroying buildings around them. One of their friends is on the other side of town and then starts a mission to save her and get out of the town as soon as they can. I'm glad my review made you think about watching it! It's a great movie! And so is Waitress! Haha I'm glad you like the cakes! You can take as much as you want, just save a piece for Chrissy!

And you're answer is correct! Well done buddy! Congrats! Lorelai was indeed the one with the dog called Paul Anka!

I haven't seen made of honor yet, but from the things I hear it's not the best movie. I'm glad you still enjoyed it though!

Bye Hayley! Have a great rest of the weekend! *hugs*
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:45 am PT
Have a great week my friend
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:46 am PT
**huge fluffy hugs**
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:49 am PT
Hej Sarah!

Well Gilmore Girls is the correct answer, but Hayley just beat you to it! Sorry buddy! Maybe you'll have better luck next time!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:50 am PT
Hej Grace! Those cakes sure look delicious don't they? That was kind of my intention: to find the best looking cakes there were and make everybody drool!

Thanks buddy! I only have one more class from him this year, so I'm sure I'll manage!

I'm glad you liked the joke!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hej Shiran buddy!

*waves back over frantically*
Well I hope so too! I'm sure, once my exam week is over, all the business will be over as well!

Glad to hear you will be checking out Cloverfield now! I'm sure you'll really like it! Let me know what you think, oke?

No, I never heard much about it either and it seems like not many people know this movie. It's kind of a shame though, since it's a great movie! Haha I don't think she would mind! You better be fast though, because Hayley is luring at them as well! Just save a piece for Chrissy!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:56 am PT
Thanks so much buddy! I don't really think I have that great ideas... But I'm happy you like the new game! And yes that is the correct answer, but unfortunately Hayley already beat you to it! Sorry buddy! I'm sure you'll have better luck a next time! You never know, you might be the what am I talking about queen!

Thanks! I'm really happy about it as well! I was about time!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:59 am PT
Hej Ana!

I see we interrupted Shiran's spamming together!
Well you should really go and see it as soon as you get a chance! I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
Haha I'm glad you like the cakes!
Take as many as you want! I just hope there will be something left for Chrissy in the end!
Have an amazing week yourself buddy!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 3:01 am PT
And back to you Shiran!

I'm glad you like the story! I just find them on the internet, on many different sites. Just type funny story on Google and there you go! I actually never saw the whole movie... I saw bits and pieces here and there, but seeing you like it so much I should really go and watch it properly!

Have an awesome week yourself buddy!
I hope you'll be feeling better soon!

*huge massive hugs*
Posted Jun 1, 2008 3:05 am PT
Hey Fieke buddy!!

Good luck with your final exam that is coming up! Im sure you'll do great! Sorry to hear your biking outing was initially cancelled but at least you got to eventually do it! and im glad you had a good time!! wow a maths teacher got fired.. well i hope it all works out for you buddy and that they get in a good replacement for him!! im really not a huge maths fan at all so i really feel for you!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 5:20 am PT

Good blog buddy!! Miss you lots! hopefully we can chat soon!

*HUGS!*
Posted Jun 1, 2008 5:26 am PT
Hej Nats buddy!

Thanks so much! I do hope so! Yes, I'm happy they at least came up with this solution, so that we could still study the plants for our test!

Yes, like I said I didn't really feel bad about it! Now I know I at least will have a different teacher next year, which I hope will be a lot better!
Maths isn't my best course either, so a teacher like this doesn't really help your grades either!

Haha well I'm proud I got two movies on your list! How long will it take you until you get to them?

I'm glad they look delicious, that's what I was going for! Take all you want buddy!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 11:55 am PT
Well I was quite happy about it as well! This idea just popped in my head a few days ago! Before that I was completely idea-less!

Yes, that's correct buddy, but like you said, Hayley already beat you to it! Good luck next time! Thanks so much! It was about time I went up a level!
I'm glad you like the joke!

I just read about it on your blog, and I really want to watch the SATC-movie as well! I'm sure I'll love it, since I loved the show as well!

That's oke buddy! Take your time! Just let me know what you think, once you listened to it! I'm quite curious now!

Glad you liked it!
I miss you as well buddy! Really hope we get a chance to chat soon! *huge miss you hugs!*
Posted Jun 1, 2008 12:00 pm PT
Fieke buddy! Cloverfield is already out here on DVD i just actually have to go and rent it now! Waitress i might have to look around for cause i gota be honest i hadnt heard of it before..but if i find it ill definitley rent it!
Posted Jun 1, 2008 2:07 pm PT
Last movie I watched.. Domino. Langdradig (wat is dat ook al weer in het Engels?)
Posted Jun 1, 2008 3:21 pm PT
Congrats on the new level

The last film i saw was Stardust. I guess it was alright
Posted Jun 2, 2008 4:52 am PT
Hey Fieke!

Good luck on all your exams buddy! For sure you will rock them!

Too bad that your math teacher has to finish the year though he got fired. He sounds really unfriendly and especially in math it's hard to follow when the teacher doesn't explain things right (at least for me ). Luckily, you're a clever cookie.
Posted Jun 2, 2008 4:59 am PT
Oh I want to watch Cloverfield too! Can't wait until the DVD comes out here. According to the movie test on facebook it is likely that I will enjoy it too!

Thanks buddy! I loved the cakes! At least that was left of them.
Posted Jun 2, 2008 5:00 am PT
Love your new idea for the game buddy! You always come up with such good ideas!

Congrats on reaching level 11! I'm now on level 11 too and I was probably over a month stuck on level 10, so yay!
Posted Jun 2, 2008 5:02 am PT
The last movie I watched was Catch Me If You Can. What an awesome movie! I loved it, though I had already seen it once. You have to watch it, unless you haven't already!

Hope we can talk again soon buddy!

Have a great day!

*huge massive hugs*
Posted Jun 2, 2008 5:03 am PT
Hej Nats!

Well I hope you get to see both movies soon! Like I said, Waitress doesn't seem to be a movie that many people have heard of! Still worth seeing though!

*huge hugs*
Posted Jun 2, 2008 10:46 am PT
Hej Anne!

I never heard of that mpovie before actually... Besides it being langdradig, was it any good?
I think langdradig, is long-winded by the way!
Posted Jun 2, 2008 10:47 am PT
Hej Leo!

Thanks so much! I heard about that movie actually! I might rent it sometime I will see! Glad you still enjoyed it though!
Posted Jun 2, 2008 10:48 am PT
Hej Chrissy!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you vote of convidence buddy!

Yes, that's kind of the downside of the whole thing! I have my last class from him tomorrow, curious to see how that will go! I sure hope he won't be as cranky as he was the last time! It makes it even worse that gives maths, whe he would be my Dutch teacher for instance, it would still be irritating, but at least that's one of my best sucjects! That's sweet of you, but I'm not the most clever cookie at maths! I do oke, but he doesn't really make things better!

Haha yes, according to the test on Facebook our movie taste is very similar, so I'm sure you will enjoy it! I glad you liked the cakes! I told everyone to at least save you one piece!
Posted Jun 2, 2008 10:53 am PT
Thanks buddy! I'm glad you like it! The idea just suddenly popped into my head one day, before that I had absolutely zero ideas! Yeah, now we're both on level 11! That's so cool! Maybe level 10 is cursed or something, it takes everybody ages!

Wow, what a coincidence, I watched that movie about two weeks ago as well! I thought it was awesome, it was one of those movies that I always wanted to watch some day! Haha I guess that answers your question if I have seen it already!

I really hope we get a chance to chat soon buddy! It seems like we've been missing each other msn lately!
Have a great day as well and an awesome week!
*huge fluffy miss you hugs*
Posted Jun 2, 2008 10:58 am PT
I hope you do well on your exams, although I am fairly sure you will. Good ridence to that math teacher, he sounds terrible. I have not seen either of the movies yet and who knows when I will...they will be added to the ever growing list.

Love the funny story...good stuff.

I will have to put some thought to the show, I have no idea right now.
