I'm the most happy person in the world!

Hello!

Yes, you did not misread the title of this post! I'm now the most happy person in the world!
Today is my lucky day!

So here is the story:

A few days back I saw on Marktplaats (the Dutch version of Ebay) a The GazettE CD.
It was the CD I was searching for, for like almost a year!
So as a crazy I mailed the woman who sold it!
She wanted to sell it to me, and I could pick it up at Saterday (today).

A few days back, at Thursday, the CD I ordered through a friend of mine, was at her house! She lived in the same city as the woman of Stacked Rubbish.

Today I picked them up, and got the conclusion that I wasn't scammed or something! The two CD's where the real thing!
The only thing I wasn't sure of; The Stacked Rubbish CD is a second hand. I was really afraid the CD would stammer.

So when I came home, with the two Limeted Edition CD's, after I went to Utrecht to buy 4 manga's, I put the Stacked Rubbish CD in my CD player.

...

The moment of truth...

...

First song; everything was allright!

The more I listened, the more I was happy! None of the songs did stammer! And when I listened to all the songs, I jumped of happiness!

The CD really was worth the price I paid for it!

So, after I picked up both CD's I went to Utrecht to buy some manga's!
I bought:

One Piece 1
Loveless 1-2
Bleach 48
Bleach 49

Then I rushed home, and noticed that a friend of mine tagged me in a post of her.
She said:

"OMG miku van an cafe had een tweet geretweet en toen klikte ik erop en er was een foto... en op die foto
zag ik het hoofd van... Nina!"


Translate: "OMG Miku of An Cafe retweeted a tweet, and I clicked on it and there was a photo... and on the photo I saw the face of... Nina!"

*Crappy translation FTW C8*

I was like: Whut?
She gave me the link, and I saw my photo, edited by one of my friends! Miku had retweeted this photo!

Don't believe me? Check this out!

 
Do you believe me now? :D


Thank you for reading, and see you in the next post! ^o^

O(≧∇≦)O An Cafe @ Melkweg, Amsterdam

Hello hello!

Yesterday was the day! The day I had planned even before I gratuadet last year!

An Cafe's concert in the "Melkweg", Amsterdam!

The day the tickets came out, I rushed 16 kilometers to the store where I bought my Miyavi tickets for his concert one and a half year ago. But this time... My luck wasn't at my side. The store Free Record Shop wasn't there anymore!
I rushed 16 kilometers back to my home, but couldn't accept that I didn't had a ticket for An Cafe.
So I cycled another 10 kilometers to a city where I knew for 100% sure there was a Free Record Shop.
Luckily this one was open, but again my luck didn't like me... I did have enough money for the tickets, but for the membership of the Melkweg, I didn't had enough money! TTATT
So, I just bought the tickets, and cycled back, again 10 kilometers.
I was really healthy that day, I cycled about 50 kilometers, just for one ticket!
But I had the ticket! I was so happy!
Compared to Miyavi's ticket, this one was quite expensive. But if I would gratuade, I would get back my money, as a present from my parents.



And I gratuaded!

When I heard this, I was happy. My mom even started to cry!
For the ones that haven't heart my exam-story about gratuade; I was ill for three-quarter of the year, I was unable to go to school. Even the year before my exam-year, I was half a year ill at home! And I barely learned for my exam ^^"

Even at Twitter I started to follow the An Cafe members. But I barely use Twitter, that's why it took me so long to follow them! Because I only found Kanon and Miku, I started to follow those two~

Another big surprise came! Miku and Kanon wanted to follow me!



And when I found Teruki on Twitter,
he wanted to follow me too!

 
 I still have my original Twitter name; NinaNecromancer. I don't really feel like change it at the moment. I like it too much! So, please keep in mind that "Noël Saito" didn't steal photo's from "NinaNecrmancer".

So, November started and I was bounching all the time! I couldn't wait!
I said I didn't want to work in the evening at my internship, so I worked in the early morning. I had to wake up at 5:30 AM!
But when I was done, I rushed to my house, and began to change my work clothes into my concert outfit I had the whole week in mind! Too bad I didn't take a good picture of my outfit, but I made a screenshot of my hair while me and a friend, who was getting ready for the concert too, while we where chatting.

When I was ready, mom and I went to the car, and drove away. Because we had experienced that Amsterdam is HORRIBLE at parking places, with a good price, we took our bicycle's with us.
Once in Amsterdam, we parked at a place what isn't in the middle of Amsterdam, and continued on our bikes. I was really mad at the wind, because of my hair. I was afraid it would flop when I drove too hard, or that my goggles would fly away!
Luckily my goggles and hair survived the tour!
Ofcourse we arrived too early, but I didn't care. I wanted a good spot!
When I was in line, I met a few super cute and hyper girls, so I took a picture with them!

There were also V.I.P.'s for An Cafe, who had a Tea Party or something. So we noticed that upstairs, at the windows were people! And one of the V.I.P.'s was signing "Look over there!".
And then I saw it! A glimpse of An Cafe! There where 3 members, and I started waving! They waved back!!

And a little later, a friend of mine showed up! Danchelle, and another dolly Lolita, who's name I forgot T_T I'm so sorry I forgot your name :C Although I regonised you! Sorry! But I love the photo!
*Little edit! I found her on Facebook! Thanks to another Lolita friend! Thank you Deb~*


Once the doors opened, I bought my membership of the Melkweg, and rushed in! I bought as fast as I could a shirt and walked to the stage. I thought I had a pretty good spot!

We had to wait long. Really long! Luckily one of the girls I have met in the waiting line was with me, and my other friends joined me soon! There were all kind of J-Rock songs playing, like Miyavi, The GazettE, Kanon Wakeshima, Moi Dix Mois and go on. I sang along with the songs of Miyavi and The GazettE. In the middle of the song "Guren" of The GazettE, one of An Cafe's soundcheckers began to soundcheck. I was like: "Do that when this song has ended, baka!". And my friends laughing at me! XD I probeably looked like an idiot, but I really was enjoying the song!

Then! An Cafe began!
They started with the song "Maple Gunman"! At the part of "Shout away! Shout away!" everyone did the same hand movements, and it was so cool to be part of it! I was surprised they played old songs as "Maple Gunman", "Tekesuta Kousen" and "Escapism". Those songs come from the time Bou was with An Cafe, instead of Yu-Ki and Takuya.
But also new songs like "Cherry Saku Yuuki!!" and "Amazing Blue".
Check out the funny faces I captured in this picture!



They played one of my favorite songs: "Tekesuta Kousen"! In the middle of the song, after the guitarsolo, there is a super scream in the original song. I was hoping that Miku would scream that part! He did!
A friend of mine filmed this! This is not mine! In this clip, you can hear the super screams of Miku, what made me shiver
Click *here* see the video on YouTube, at the channel of my friend!
All credits go to her! Thank you so much for letting me borrow this! <3
Name of the YouTube account: OreoMilkShakie
I also made a YouTube video. But, compared to the video of my friend, my sound is really, I repeat, REALLY bad! I recomment you to lower your volume! This is my video Clickerdeclickclick~
Yeah, say "Hi" to my super random moments!

Here are some photo's I made of An Cafe:




This is me, together with Miku, Yu-ki, and Kanon's bass!
I love how this picture turned out!


It was a wonderfull concert!

After the concert, I bought a sweater, and went home.



So, I hope you enjoyed this long post, full of pictures I made, and the video's a friend of mine made, and I made.

Now I have a question for you;
Have you been to a concert of one of your favorite groups? And did they play one of your favorite songs?


Thank you for reading, and don't forget to leave a sweet comment! O(≧∇≦)O

Within Temptation @ Appelpop!

*I wrote this a whole time back, but never uploaded it!*


Hello my sweetest readers~



I am really, really, really happy at this moment! I fell in love!

Not a normal love, but my eternal love for music! It was a complete surprise for me!

I went to Within Temptation at Appelpop!

So, for the ones who don’t care about the story: I’m going to put the story no matter what here in this blog >:3

And for the ones who are curious about my story: Please enjoy !



At school, a few classmates talked about going to Appelpop. They calculated the costs for the train and came to the conclusion the costs where around €23,-. I couldn’t afford that costs because my iPod broke and I have to buy a new one.

I really was sad, and asked my mom to bring me on her motorcycle, just like 4 years back, when I went with my mom to Appelpop to see them live. (I have seen Within Temptation 3 times now! My first time 4 years back, when I was 11 years old, 4 years back at Appelpop with my mom, and this time!)

So, I saw a lot of people posting things like: “Going to Appelpop to see Within Temptation!” and I was like: Moooom why did you have to bring someone to vacation?!

I really was sad.

But while we ate some dinner, I kind of joked: “Dad, could you bring me to Appelpop?”

He was like: “Naaah…”

Me: “It is free…”

He: “Oooooh that’s interesting!”

But not a real answer like yes or no. So I did kind of disappointed the dishes with my mom.

Then my dad walked in, and talked about his Harley Davidson. My mom said: “Have you told her yet?”

Silence…

Surprise!” My dad said, and kind of waved with his hands. I was só happy, I started to sing like I was crazy, because normally I don’t sing that often.

So, we went around 19:30, on the Harley Davidson, to Appelpop! *Geesh I typed like 100 times “Appelpoop” XD*

We arrived early, and we walked around at the little shops to look for band shirts. Mission failed…

So, we went to the so called “Hoofdpodium”, where Within Temptation would perform at 23:00. Of course I was way too early, but there was another act, so I waited patiently.

I was in the middle of the crowd, and was happy with my position; next to the huge screen for people in the back, but a good sight at the stage.

But when this act stopped, almost everyone went to the act of “De jeugd van tegenwoordig”. I rushed to the stage, and had the best spot I’ve ever wished for. Not even 10 (?) meters from the stage, and within 5 (?) meters from the catwalk. But I had to wait an hour for Within Temptation to start! And I was alone, because my dad and I did spit up because he thought it was too busy for him.

I had to wait a whole hour until the act started, but it felt like 100 years! Suddenly I started talking to a really cool girl, and then the time did fly! We talked about the Elf Fantasy Fair, where she wore a beautiful handmade corset, which she wore at that moment too! We were almost bouncing around!

While we were talking, the crew was setting the stage up, and testing the guitars, basses, keyboard and drums. They weren’t bad at playing them!



 

Before we knew it, the show started. The first of the short movies Within Temptation made, called “Mother Maiden” came on the screen, and we watched in silence. I thought it was really special. Some sentences we whispered along, because some were on the song “Why not me?”. Some parts I thought where scary, I just can’t take horror or thriller movies. And also there where kids at this concert. But I saw everything, so I’m a little bit proud!

After the beautiful intro, Within Temptation came on stage, and started to play “Shot in the dark” I believe.


 
 
 
 
 
 



The atmosphere was wonderful! They played their new songs, but also old ones: “Mother Earth” and “Ice Queen”.

Before I knew it they where done playing, and I went back home. I was tired!
 
 
Right: Picture time! Now I can say I have a picture of me together with Within Temptation!

School/Life update 002.

Hello hello!

I'm very sorry I don't post very often. I'm busy with school, and when I'm free, I play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2!

So, I just ended the first period of the four periouds of this year. My internship goes well, and I love every second of it! Compared to the internship, school is boring. Not the people, I love my classmates, but the lessons we have are kind of boring. I always draw in the lessons, or talk to my classmates. My English teacher even asked me: "Why didn't you go to a art school?".
I laughed quite a bit, but he is also scary! ("Do your homework, or I'll cut your hair off!").

So this was it about school!

Now the more fun things!

I have done alot of fun things while I didn't post here, or didn't had to do homework, or whatever.
The things I have done:
- Within Temptation concert at Appelpop.
- Nasum concert in Utrecht.
- An Cafe concert in Amsterdam.
- Party at friends house.
- Dutch Lolita Market.
- MGC
I'll make different posts about these subjects, or no post, that I'll forget it!

But, there is also a less fun thing...

It is about the Starbucks Challenge. When I was at the doctors place a long time ago, she said that I must not eat or drink milk products for a time. She said that after a long while not eating or drinking it, I mabye could start eating or drinking it again.

But, now I've heard some bad news: I'll be never able to eat or drink it again, she said. Or I get sick.
The stubborn person I am, tried that out, to eat a bit of chocolate. Nothing happend.
So mabye I am able to start with the Starbucks Challenge, mabye not.
We will see!

Sorry if this was a really boring post, I promise I'll post about Within Temptation and An Cafe for sure!

Thank you for reading, and have a great day!
