So today I got this in my lovely mailbox and it really made my day! Since two months ago I’ve been trying to live up to this common Dutch phrase “Niet geschoten is altijd mis” meaning “Nothing ventured, nothing gained“. I’ve been trying to take any opportunity I get and I really like it. I’ve been always too lazy for online contests saying that I’ll never win and shit BUT: You never know if you don’t try!

So if there is any new opportunity that’s going to cross your road in the future, try taking it! And even though it’s not turning into what you expected it to be – at least you gained new experience!

This was my entry for the contests, I hope you guys like it!

Hiiiiiiii, I couldn’t resist to do an another post!

The upcoming Friday I won’t be having school because my teachers will be having a “teacher day” were they will do activities together. But I don’t care about that, it’s that I don’t have school that counts. =D

The best part is that I managed to get a dayticket for Friday! (for an insanely low price) – Meaning that I can travel through the whole Netherlands by train the whole day.

BUT – I don’t know who wants to join me. And just when I want to ask that person, I’m not able to. =(

Anyway, I decided to feature some things I really want/like:

ASOS Tabbed Military Woven Mix Jumper: Reveal the military in ya self haha
ASOS Low Slung Mans Peg Leg Trouser: Love this complete look; It reminds me of Chloé’s ready-to-wear fall 2010 collection which I really adore.

UGG Classic Mini: These are just so cute for winter!

iPhone 4: After having my Nokia for almost a year prepaid I’ve been thinking to get an iPhone 4 subscription; I’ve been doubting between a BlackBerry and a iPhone because loads of my friends are using BlackBerry and if I could get myself a BlackBerry; we are able to Ping! each other. BUT I found out that iPhone has that app too!

I opened a new website called “HIUXINGs CLOSET“!

After some people asked me if I had some old stuff for sale I made this cute little space. I will be selling as well brand new as old stuff there. I’ve only posted some clothing for now but there will be more soon. (like accessories)

> And I’ve been so ill like crazy. It started when I had headache on Monday which turned into migraine and then throwing up =/
Today is the third day that I couldn’t go to school and I feel so bad. =((
But I think it is getting better and hopefully I can go to school by tomorrow. For now I’ll just eat healthy and do my homework.

Soooo school started again and I thought it was fun to post about what’s in my school bag. I tried to do a vlog but it didn’t really work out.

These are my books! I got lots of positive comments about how good my books were looking. I first packed it with boring light brown paper but I wasn’t really happy with the result so I decided to use commercials from magazines as my cover – and I really love how it turned out! Some were still at school so unfortunately I wasn’t able to photograph them all.

Cath Kidston bags which I use for when it rains. Adidas tote bags I use on short school days. Browns bags I use for regular days; the right one is by Primark and the left one from an unknown store in Hong Kong.

Graphing calculator. Rilakkuma pencil case. (God I love Rilakkuma). Nokia qwerty phone. Purse by Primark. Invisible agenda. (I forgot to photograph it.)
