As you all may know The Vampire Diaries ended last week. The show that has been around for 8 seasons and gave their last goodbye during their season's finale. Many of us TVD fans have been around for quite some time. It has been a hell of a ride since Elena met Stefan Salvatore in the hallways of the Mystic Falls High School.
Many of us have been expecting an epic ending for the last episode of TVD. Since epic was the whole essence of the show and the last episode was titeld "I was feeling epic" but unfortunatly I wasn't feeling that epic. I was quite dissapointed with the last episode. That's why I made a list of a few reasons why the last episode wasn't as epic as I expected it to be (spoiler alert).
1) The whole episode started on a weird cliffhanger of Bonnie almost dying (again).
As many of you guys may know Bonnie has been a suffering throughout the entire series. She has been sacrificing her happiness for others and literally died, several times may I add, for the benefit of others. And yet again they started of with Bonnie almost dying at the beginning of the episode. She didn't even get a "happy ending" with Enzo.
2) Katherine Pierce's comeback wasn't as fierce.
We all have been loving Katherine since she first introduced herself on the show. She has been known to be a surviver, to get whatever she wants whenever she wants and doesn't care about whoever stands in her way. And if plan A fails she always has a plan B, then a plan C, plan D,and,...you know how the alphabet works, dont you? But this time around she didn't even fight back when Stefan wanted to kill her. Where did all of her plans go?
3) Elena and Damons happy ending.
The most dissapointing thing in the whole entire episode is Elena and Demons reunion. You would be expecting them to be a lot happier considering the fact that Elena was asleep during a few years. We all know that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder are exes in real life, but I was expecting a bit more professionalism on Ian's side to act the Delena scenes properly. The scenes seemed rushed and were badly acted. We didn't even get flashes of their lives as humans. Kids? Marriage?...We have been waiting 3 seasons for this.
But all of this asside I still loved the show and still will be TVD fan. #TVDFOREVER. Did you like the last episode or are you also dissapointed? What were you expecting to be in the episode? Leave your comments below.
At Visma, I spoke to Luc Coppens. He's the pro staff from Westin. He showed me some new lures that recently came out. Including Percy the Perch inline. It has the same looks as the normal Percy the Perch but the new one is made of hard plastic and it isn't a hybrid. It hasn't a swimming lip in the front so it has a realistic action in the water. The special thing about this lure is the inline system. The stinger is attached to a wire that's made of steel so it can't snap. When a pike strikes the lure, the stinger comes out of the lure and the lure can slide on the wire. That means the pike can't use the weight to spit the lure out so you'll lose less fish.
The next weekend, I went to the water to test it. When I was standing on the shore, I made a long cast to see the action but when it was halfway, a pike strikes the lure very hard and everything went perfect. The new system did his job so that means it deserves a big 10/10!
Last year, I went to a concert of 'The Kooks'. The Kooks is a British rock band that consists of four members. I have visit two concerts of them already. When we arrived at the concert hall in Brussels, there were many people waiting to go inside. We had very good places so we could see the stage perfectly. Everyone was very excited to see The Kooks and there were also many people from other countries. The design of the stage was very beautiful with a lot of tv screens.
When they came on stage they welcomed us and the concert started. They played a variety of old and new songs, that was very nice. I would like it even better if they played more new songs to interduce their new album. The atmosphere in the hall was very nice.
I think it was a very good concert and I look forward to their concert in may.
I remember
it like it was yesterday; I woke up with the sun shining through my curtains,
the sunbeams softly touched my eyelids and the birds were singing in the forest
nearby. I didnt really had a good night so this was a nice start of a new day.
I got up, went downstairs and just sat by the window, looking to a soft breeze
moving the newly grown leafs. Suddenly, my niece showed up. She had brought a
picnic basket, a blanket and some poetry books. I immediately knew what we were
up to because we had done it before; we were going to the open fields, at the
end of my street, to sit in the sun, listen to music, read poetry and have a
nice cup of tea with some fresh fruits. The weather was amazing and while
biking towards the picnic area we sang some Beatle songs and whistled along
with the birds. When we got there, we sat down and had an amazing afternoon. We
were supposed to get home for dinner, but we managed to convince our moms to
let us stay a bit longer. When we finally got home, the stars were shining
brightly and the moon had set the world in an icy glow. We had been at the
picnic area the whole evening. We had watched the sun set over the fields and
the world slowly falling asleep. It was amazingly quiet, which made it even
more special.
It honestly was the best day of my life, I had a really great time.
Hopefully,
you experience days like this too. It makes you feel really calm and peaceful,
which are feelings we mostly forget about, thinking they are not that
important. But I assure you; they are, they really are. And once you experience
them like this or in whichever way possible, you will miss those feelings every
time you dont feel them. So take a moment to let your thoughts flow and watch
the sun go under, it is worth your free time.
During the Christmas break I flew over seas to the
city that never sleeps. We arrived after a six hour flight, I kept myself busy
by watching the movies that where available. After we got our luggage we got
into a famous yellow cab. Our first stay was an apartment in Brooklyn. The cab
driver did warn us about the neighborhood, he said it was best not to go outside
after then p.m.. When we got their I understood what he meant. It was not the nicest
neighborhood to stay in. We booked our stay with Airbnb and the apartment we
had was quit small but very colorful and cozy. The first days in Brooklyn where
quit rainy so that was a bummer. But that gave the perfect opportunity to visit
some museums. We visited the Brooklyn museum, there were a lot of Rodins. In
Brooklyn and New York you always need to travel by Metro, so at first it was a
little complicated but after a few days we got the hang of it. On Christmas day
we crossed the Brooklyn Bridge by foot and the first thing we did in the big
city was visit the 9/11 memorial. It was a very sunny day, the best Christmas
ever.
Today I want to tell you someting that happened 10 years ago.
My family and I were going on a trip in France.
Monday morning, on a very hot day we decided to go canoeing. After a couple of hours we were at the beginning of the kayak route. But first we had to cross over a bridge of 10 meters. My sister, Margot, was a little bit stupid and didn't took water shoes on.
So when we were at the bridge she had a little stone in her crocs, and she wanted to trow it in the water. That was very unsuccessful because she trew her croc in the water from a bridge of 10 meters. She was crying really hard, but there was nothing we could do.
After some time, we were together in a kayak and we found margot her croc at the river side.
Some people were very friendly to take her shoe and put it on the side. Margot was very happy
Today there
happened something really special. My boyfriend proposed me on a really special
way.
Normally my
boyfriend showered when I wake up but
this morning he was already gone for work. When I came in the kitchen Roger had
made a sandwich for me and there was also a rose with it. There hang a little
note on the rose. He had written: Look under your bed there is a little surprise.
So I went to the bedroom and under the bed there lay a pair of pretty shoes.
When I stepped
in the car there also lay a rose on the car seat with a little note. On this
card was written: look in the backseat of your care there is a little surprise.
So I looked in the backseat and there was a beautiful dress.
When I arrived
at my bureau there was laying again a rose with a note and on this note there
was written: Look one your chair there is a little surprise. On my chair
there was lying a menu of my favorite restaurant. And on the menu was written a
date.
So I went
to the restaurant with my new shoes and my new dress and I asked for my table. I
was led to my table and there was again laying a rose with a note: Look behind
you there is a big surprise. So I looked behind me and there was he sitting on
his knee with a little box in his hands and he asked if I wane marry him. Of course
said yes.
A week ago I read an article about
people that doing something for other people without a goal.
In this time we think so much on our
self without knowing it. And there is something big what is SO important in our
happiness. They say its that you become happy if you can make other people
happy, and I believe them. So the exactly thing they do is making
other people happy. An few examples. If you are in a pub, you can pay a coffee
or something else for an person that needs it. Then if a person that have not
much money can ask for it. Its like a present for a stranger. There are days
in the year that people knitting scarfs an binding them on trees. The people
that pass can take them. The article goes about the Netherlands. If you and I think
about it then we both know that is true. You will be happy. You can just hang a
note, take a coffee for someone, or say something nice. Just the little things
make the other happy and yourself. On Facebook
there is a site that links on the article. On that site people post picture of little
present that they make of their self or just buy. They lay it down on a place
(the market, the wood, in a bicycle basket,..) with a note what says it just a
present for make the people that found it happy. And then the people that found
it can post a picture of it on the site to stimulate other people. I find this
so beautiful, that people do this just for making other people happy for a
second. Voor jou van mij is the Dutch site of it.

I would like to keep it serene. Some people want to make a world trip, but thats of course impossible. I would invite my closest friends an my family, the people who are important for me. We are all going to a lake in my hometown. We are going talk about my life, the good and the bad times. It may be sad, some people will cry. But we would also laugh about the stupid things I did, no doubt about that. I hope the weather is nice, a calm summer night. There will be also little snacks to eat and cherry wine to drink. I want it to be very cosy, I want everybody to be comfortable. I only want to invite my nearest friends, so some of my other friends would be a bit mad because I didn't invite them. But I think it would be better I there weren't a lot of people around. It's going to be more modest. After I die I don't want a sad funeral, I want people to remember me in a good way, they don't have to mourn all the time. I want them to move on. And I'm going to make it clear to them. When we are at the lake I also music thats playing. Some people would think that I would go to a big party when I have inly one day to live. But my last day doesn't have to be big or something.
