I know it's a little bit late but better late than never....
I just need to tell has much as i can about this wonderfull journey that was 2008....

On the 8th of December 5 people, Laura, Laura, Roberto, Romulo & Me (i guess the only reader of my blog knows my name) got together to honour 1 tradition: the building of the Christmas tree. Using a basic principle but mixing traditions from 3 different countries (for the curious ones - Portugal, Italy, Netherlands) the night started with great dinner (many thanks to the chef....you know who you are) served with red wine, followed by a great desert and then coffee and the now traditional "Friends Whisky", the tree assembly started.

The girls made some decorations and the guys started with putting the tree standing (sounds bad but no one was injured on this procedure), and after an hour or so the tree was finished with all the necessary items. The star on top was put in by Romulo, because the best prop for the tree was the one he got.

In the end a Big Big egg-shaped chocolate was broken and our Christmas officially begun by eating a marvelous italian chocolate.

Thanks everyone for such a delightful night and to allow to enjoy again one of the traditions i was so used to back home.

hugs & kisses

Just funny

So, Tuesday i went to see Pendulum at the Melkweg for the 2nd time and i must say that once again i was quite impressed....It was great....

This concert was part of the European Tour 2008 and the launch of their new album called "In Silico".

I must say besides the sound the visual part of the concert was stunning which helped to make it a memorable show.....

On a last note i would like to thank Wout and Fleur for the company and for having so much fun....

Here is a sample of what we listened:

Just couldn't resist putting this here....

So MTV just launched a new website just for music videos for free, which is cool because you can even watch them on fullscreen, share, etc.
Also good is the fact that you can find some pretty old music videos and will find new videos in there almost every day.
It should be some good competition for youtube.

Site address is http://www.mtvmusic.com/

Here is a video taken from there, one of my favourites....

Maaaannnnn....I wanted to post something about the party alll week but i had to upload the pictures from the iPhone and i'm known to be a tiny bit lazy....better late then never....let's take into consideration this pictures are taken from a phone so the quality is not the best....

Here they are....

Anyway the party was amazing!!!!I was in for Black Sun Empire but honestly they were not even my favourites this time, none of the good stuff like Future Frame, Arrakis or Driving Insane....they were still good tought.

This time my favourite was Sub Focus, it was the 1st time i saw them and it was an amazing performance.....the rest was ok....

I was happy to know that Henrique, Dome and Wout enjoyed it as well so maybe we can all return next year....

Funny thing was when i went to pick up my bike to go home, it was not there anymore....only the lock was there, it was cut with a saw in the middle of leidseplein on a friday night....amazing what this people do for bikes in holland....there goes my 3rd bike....the best of the story was not even that....but it's too crazy to be told here (hint - crazy people like hot "drinks"....LOL!!!!).

Well i guess that's the way it goes in life, nothing is ever perfect....
