Ice-Tea imported from England

lifeguards imported from Spain, towels imported from Turkey, and turkey imported from Maihihehiƫeeen. Instant feel good, you have to admit. I sincerely love High School Musical. There is no better way to cheer me up than by singing along at the top of your voice and, if possible, doing the dances simultaneously.

In my opinion, there is no way one can still be productive during the sixth hour. Believe me, I am miss discipline, I know. However, if being energetic and enthusiastic again, there are many ways to be productive at home. It is commonly known that music improves productivity, and still, we are not allowed to listen to it during anything that needs productivity. Now, I don’t believe music makes you concentrate (like seriously, I can only focus on the lyrics when studying and listening to music at once). However, I do genuinely believe that we should be authorized to listen to music during our last hours of school: to prepare us for an afternoon of studying, to cheer us up, and to make a day of school more within our capabilities.

Equally important, one should know that High School Musical is full of life lessons: ‘Baby to be number one, you gotta raise the bar.’ Or ‘I believe in dreaming, and shooting for the stars.’ Nothing healthier than a bit of ambition, and, since Sharpay is everyone’s major role model, this is another great example of why anything Disney related rocks. 


Why the dentist shouldn’t be fun

If you enjoy going to the dentist please mail me or something, I’d love to meet your species! To the rest of you, I am sure you have at least once in your life wondered why every dentist seems to be so BORING. Well, if you are a bit of a smartass you should know the answer. You think the dentist can do the job whilst you are laughing? Certainly not, believe me, I’ve tried. My sister decided it was polite to yell through the room why my mom was able to talk whilst she was in the chair. The dentist looked as if he was going to kill her. I laughed my ass off, just like my sister, whose turn it was subsequently. Well... that did not work out. Like seriously, not at all. She just couldn’t stop laughing and the dentist just got more annoyed and it was just like positive feedback. Hilarious. Awkward. SO MUCH FUN.

Another activity you should ‘not try at the dentist’, yes you can try this one at home; making snapchats. You know, those silly photos you send to your friends so they can laugh about them for like ten seconds? Either the dentist or his assistant will notice you, and yes, they will look at you like you are the most retarded person wandering this earth. Which might be true.

Yes, this is snapchat. Yes, this is at the dentist.
Lastly, I have one tip for all the future dentists out there: if you are capable of social activities, please understand, there is NO way your patients can talk back. So please, just don’t even try to start that conversation. It will only result in more awkwardness. The dentist is supposed to be awkward, and boring, let all of us accept that.

Why there is sooooo much more fun in analogue photography

To begin this blog, I'd like to start with an example of the diversity of present day society. Now that the western world has nothing left to crave for, but world peace, of course, we have all decided to start practicing the same hobbies. On top of the list: photography. 

To illustrate this beautiful phenomenon, here's a real life example for you to cry about.

Last summer, during my trip to New York, I made this photo:


When looking at my father’s photos, he turned out to have made this photo:


And, when searching Google, everyone else in the world seemed to have made this photo:

Bye fun, there's nothing special left in this photo. I did enjoy making you though. 

However, the fun returned quickly after finaaaaally being able to develop my analogue camera: my precious Fisheye. Now you'll first have to agree with me, is there anything more fun in life than a surprise? (Please don’t take into consideration love, happiness and whatever emotion everyone yearns for, let’s be honest, no one is ever going to be fully happy, we as humans are never totally satisfied.) Since to me, there is not. When making photos with my analogue camera I have no, seriously no, clue how they are going to turn out. When finally being able to look at the photos, they have turned out to be sloppy, mostly blurry, but most of all: full of ambience. Example:


 No photographic masterpiece, but a lot more fun to look at. No one else will have a photo like this, every single one is different. The advantages of analogue photography are marvellous: you have no idea how your photos will turn out, you forget about most of the photos you have made until you develop them and most of all, no one will make a photo similar to yours. It’s all one big surprise.
