Ik kunst

Zijn schilderen
raakte mijn hart
De verf spetters
raakte mijn oren
en ogen
Ze verbleken
door de andere kleuren
En het deed me
haast pijn
te zien
hoe hij zijn zaligheid
en ziel
verstopte
en mengde
met de verf
Kunst op
het eerste gezicht
Hij schilderde
zijn leven
in een ogenblik
was het voorbij
En zijn schilderen
hield op een dag
op
Maar ik ga
en word gedreven
en kunst
op het eerste gezicht
Mijn gezicht
Kunst op
mijn gezicht

Hij deed het
Ik kunst

On reading books and more of that stuff

I finally got really into a book. Yey! (This is the short version of the story)

And this is the long version (so if you don't like this: you're done now):

I read a lot in the end of 2012 and finished a book in the first week of January  But since then I really got caught up in school work and lots of things that I had to do and had to manage.
Some where in 2012 I read The Hunger Games, the first volume. And I really really liked it. The story was just perfect. So refreshing and wonderful and creative. And you really get into the head of the main character: Katniss. You follow her train of thoughts everywhere and every step she makes, you get to make it with her. The story is sad and beautiful at the same time. Sometimes a little cliche, but hey, love should be cliche sometimes, so it didn't bother me. 

Right after I finished The Hunger Games, I bought the second volume: Catching Fire. And I was excited at first, but then I started reading a few pages and I wasn't that excited anymore. 

It's kinda like a hangover.. Volume 1 was sooo amazing. And the writer made it pretty hard to make the sequel just as good. So I thought: well, that was a nice adventure, but it ends her. 

Because THG end in the first book and at the beginning of Catching Fire she gets back to the Seam and she get's to live in this gigantic house, where she doesn't feel comfortable living. And everything is very awkward and unreal. Because she started this rage among the people in the Districts and the Capitol isn't happy about it. 

I was convinced that the second book wasn't as good. And that's too bad, because I think the covers of the books are beautiful (I will show you the two copies I have) and they'd look very nice in my book-shelf. But if I wasn't planning on reading the second or the third book, it wasn't really necessary to buy the third one.

But a couple of days ago I finally got into the book and now I'm really excited to finish it and buy the third one.

Just for your information: I currently only read on the train to school, I'm only for 15 on the train, or before I go to bed. I could read a book in two days (or maybe one day) if I read in one go. But that only happens in summer, most of the times. I will be reading a lot during my exams, for when I need a break :) After studying of course! And sometimes in between ;)

And fyi2 (for your information 2): I read Divergent(series of 2 books) I'm currently reading Eclipse, which is the 3 book in the 4-books-serie of Twilight (+1 a little sequel novella book). I have book one: Uglies, from the Uglies-series (which contains 3 books) I own a copy of Child 44, which I'm told is also a serie of 3 or 4 books. I'm reading (as I just told you everything about) Catching Fire, from the 3 -books-serie The Hunger Games. And I recently started reading The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Volume 1 (of 5). So now you know a few things: 

1. I read a lot of books at the same time

2. I'm reading a lot of series at the same time (which, sometimes, is really confusing) 

3. I have a lot of books. 

4. I should be studying.

Soooo this was me letting my heart out on the topic of books and all that jazz.

I hope to speak to you very soon.
And don't forget to check out my Daily-Blog-twothousandandthirteen-blog :) there's the place where I put my entire life on the internet for the whole of 2013 so.. yeh, check that out.

Een wereld zoals deze

Draken?
En elfen
en pratende dieren?
Levende wezens
zoals mensen zijn?
We moeten geloven
en door gaan met dromen
Om deze waarheid
kun je niet heen
Misschien in je dromen
of gedachten en nachten

Maar het doet me toch denken
aan een ver ver land
Het land van
draken
en elfen
en pratende dieren
Levende wezens
zoals mensen zijn.

We moeten geloven
en door gaan met dromen
om deze wezens 
leven te geven
Misschien niet op aarde 
maar ergens daar boven
of in mijn gedachten
en dromen misschien

Toch weer ik zeker
en vast
geloof ik
en hoop ik op draken
en elfen
en vriendschap met dieren
En meer dat nog beter
is dan ik bedenk


Een land waar
draken
en elfen
samen leven
Een land 
waar ik gelukkig ben.
Een land
zoals mijn slaapkamer
met twinkelende lichtjes
verlicht
omrand met witte sneeuw

Daar schuilen de elfen
en draken zich 
als het licht is
om s'nachts 
met mij te leven
en te dromen

Van een wereld
zoals deze

Memorabel

Vandaag was fantastisch! Wat een mooie mensen heb ik weer ontmoet.
Er achter komen dat je al je hele leven een spel verkeerd doet (ahumCluedoahum)
Foto's maken in de sneeuw!

Ik hou van de mensen
Ik hou van de warmte die het huis en de mensen zelf uitstralen. De rust die er vanaf komt. En die het met zich mee brengt.

In dat huis kun je alles even buiten in de kou laten staan en gewoon even tot jezelf komen en even gek doen.

Careless laughing.
Endless listening.
Wonderfully and precious.
Knowing that you're loved.
Feeling and most of all being beautiful.
The beautiful me that I am.
The gorgeous person God made me to be.
So fearfully and wonderfully made!
<3

Mijn hart is verwarmd.
Al klopt het soms wat onregelmatig.
Er word aan gewerkt!

The snow must go on ;)

RANDOM

Wonderfully made

Wie gaat er mee wandelen in de sneeuw?

Hou je ook zo van dit weer? (: Waarschijnlijk niet. In ieder geval, ik ben volgens mij een van de weinige mensen die zo veel van dit weer houd. 

Ik vind het geweldig om s'ochtends wakker te worden, door de kier in mijn gordijnen te gluren en te zien dat er een prachtige witte deken over de wereld is neer gelegt! Ik word dan echt weer blij als een klein kind.
En oh, wat zou ik dan graag op de slee naar school willen gaan, getrokken door papa. 

Ik vind het heerlijk om naar buiten te kijken en mijn gedachten mee te laten dwarrelen met de sneeuwvlokjes. Het is dromerig weer. Weer waar in je je bundeld in dekens en met een mok chocolademelk naast je een geweldig boek leest! 

Het liefst zou ik er nu door heen wandelen en nadenken. 

Ga je mee? :)

REVIEW - The Fault in Our Stars

(I put this up on my DailyBlog2013, but I thought I might as well share it here. I want you to read it!)

I just want to take sometime of yours and quote some brilliance. Some amazingness. Beautifulness. (these aren't even words, are they?) Greatness. Awesomeness. 
Just listen.

No wait.

First I want to tell you something. And this is not entirely my own thing. Its secondhand. I heard this from someone on the YouTubes. I do not remember who it was and I'm very sorry about that. But I share her opinion. - I'm very certain it was a her - and she said the following things: (I don't quote now fyi. I'm just going to say it in my own words) she said: that sometimes you have a book and it has a few awesome one-liners in them. and those primarily make the book. You know, your just reading your book and suddenly your like: woah, that's deep! Sometimes a book even has just one or maybe one chapter. Or sometimes its the end that gets you.

The book I have now in front of me is like one big shock of words en sentences together. Tangled up in fantastic, beautiful web of shocking-shock-one-line-fall-in-love-with-it-all type of stuff.It's just this book starts with beauty in words and ends with it. - and occasionally tears -Although it starts off with a girl who is (according to her mom) depressed, spends an awful lot of time thinking about death (which probably or most certainly is a side effect of dying, but then again, almost everything is) or re-reading the same book AND has cancer, it still is an amazing book, that goes deeper than some people ever know it even could go. (Like in their heads, you know, that they don't know that they could think that deep.. or that something could mean that much.. no? okay, just for get it than) It has the beauty that is American culture and Dutch culture in it. (Which is nice, because I, myself, come from the lovely little spec that is The Netherlands)

It holds a lot of imagination and thoughts of a sixteen (going on seventeen) year old girl, who's sick-dying and in love.It has the beauty that is talking very lighthearted -yet still very aware of the seriousness of the matter- about a terrible disease: cancer. It makes it almost fluffy (like cotton candy), but at the same time such a burden to carry. And throughout the book, you feel the burden of cancer that's on every page.It makes you think and think and think, how your life would change and the people around you, with cancer being there.The main characters go on a trip to Amsterdam, where they have the most amazing and at the same time not so amazing time. They see Amsterdam in spring and drink Champagne in an airplane.

So I decided that I'm not going to spoil the end.But now I come back to the point of quoting. I want to quote the whole book. But it kinda means you have to read it. And so you should. :)
So here are some chunks of story. And maybe if you read The Fault in Our Stars, you run into them.

- "Are these houses very old?" Asked my mom. "Many of the canal houses date from the Golden Age, the seventeenth century," he said. "Our city has a rich history, even though many tourist are only wanting to see the Red Light District." He paused. "Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin." 

- It's hard to hold on to your dignity when the risen sun is too bright in your losing eyes, and that's what I was thinking about as we hunted for bad guys through the ruins of a city that didn't exist.

- Funerals, I had decided, are for the living. 

(Of course this all will make sense when you read the book ;))

If you read the book, tell me what you thought - do you share my opinion - and if you didn't read it, please do read it and let me know what your thoughts are! :)


Yours trulyHannah

Busy, sleepy, tired, crazy BUT happy! :)

This is gonna be like a picture, thingy.
I'm tired. First two periods today were gym. I kinda hate it. So all of a sudden I was in pain. No just kidding, my fall-of-chair-adventure I told you earlier, (ohwait, that's on my other blog. sorryy. mijnblogjaar.blogspot.com) my knee still hurts from falling of a chair in the cafeteria, so I didn't really felt like running or doing anything.. at all. So I just sat and watched and cheered and laughed and shouted, pretty much the entire time.
Anyway.
I feel like crap. School is pretty crappy at the moment. But still. It's school, you have too and I have to pass my exams. I will be 20 this year (November ;)) okay, let's not get into this stuff.

I have loads of 'new' music on my iPod :) So I'm very happy about that. I'v been loving Taylor Swifts new album Red, I'm kind of in love with it.
Found out some awesome 'new' (for me: new) vloggers on the YouTubess. The gorgeous Jack Harries (and his as beautiful brother Finn, they happen to be identical twins so, yeh...) Tyler Oakley, he's hilarious. Just that.

Why do I always get off topic. I tell you this will be some photo-thing and that I just start rambling into the nothing about stuff. Well, probably had to get that off my chest.

So this is me smiling into my webcam

And this is my, dead-serious, looking up something on the internet
With glasses.

Not exactly sure why I show you this. But I just thought it would be fun. Then we can also check if I change a lot in the coming year. :)

Anyway. I'm going to bed now. Long day ahead tomorrow.

Oh yes, why am I happy?
I'm happy, because I know the Lord is on my side. Paul says a lot of beautiful, powerful, strengthening things in his letter to all God's holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi (1:1), but I want to point out two of them. In chapter 2: 14,15,16 he says: Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, 'children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.' Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. 
And I want to emphasize 'Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.' We are stars and we have to act like them, so shine your light over the people around you, so that they will see God's light right through you!
And the other thing that I want to point out for you: 'I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.' (Philippians 4:13)
That's what Paul believes and I say it with him, because it's what I believe. In my weakness He is strong.

So I want to be strong in God and I want to shine His light. That's why I'm happy, because I know I can, and all because of Him! :D

I wish you all a goodnight sleep and a good night.
