My room is finally finished and it has been for a couple of days. I tried to accessorize it but I couldn’t find a lot of cute, subtle pink stuff. I’m sorry, but I’m just not putting any decoration in my room which would confuse my room with Barbie’s. I wanted my room to be girly but not too girly so it’ll scare of my boyfriend…

Before

It was quite a mess but it had it’s charm. This picture actually makes room look a lot better than it actually was. It was so loud, I was so tired of the blue, the ripped up magazine papers everyone has, the overall rainbow effect… Definitely time for a change, this just didn’t say Pim anymore

After

(It’s a GIF, so it might take a while to load)

Sorry for the bad quality but in my opinion, GIFS totally give a better view of the room. I might add some detailed shots later on, but for now this will give you a good idea. The pink wall is magnetic! It’s the best invention ever… No wait, magnetic tape is! You wouldn’t believe the trouble I had to go trough to find some simple white magnets. In the end I found magnetic tape and decided to try it out, boy, am I glad I did. I sound like a cheesy commercial right now so that’s my queue.

Finally I’m back in the blogging world where I belong. I tried Tumblr as some of you might have noticed but it wasn’t working out for me. The lack of comments, the drama, bumping into the same pictures over and over… It really does bore and irritate me. No worries, I’m still keeping mine, I just missed having a blog so badly! Also, no spiffy layouts for now, maybe I’ll hop back on that train in a while, but for now, you’ll have to deal with this one. If we used to be affiliates or you want to be one, let me know!

What have I been up to? I’ve passed the exams of my second year in graphic design, on to the next! Now I have about 3 months of total freedom, so I decided to redo my room to keep myself busy. I already started making some new pillows and redid the ugliest brown desk chair you’ve ever seen, have a look here. I’m also madly in love with my bow pillow! And it’s so simple to make! My room is all cleaned out and empty now, so painting’s up next. My colour scheme is going to be the same as my site really, something like this. And I’ll be applying magnetic paint to one of the walls… Anxious to find out what that’ll be like… I’ll be posting more before and after pictures of my entire room when it’s done!

My grandpa’s doing a lot better, apparently he’ll recover. There’s still brain damage but they haven’t figured out what yet. But he can talk, doesn’t have any memory loss, he’s breathing on his own etc. Quite a relief I must say. I couldn’t bare having to deal with another loss so I’m happy. I’m going to see him in the afternoon, quite looking forward to it. Although he’s in the same hospital where my brother was for half a year when he got leukemia, so lots of bad memories Come to think of it, our family did have it’s fair share of bad luck… But I’m still staying positive!

Anywhoo, my boyfriend came to live with me at my dorm this week, it was tons of fun. We went to see Avatar 3D. I didn’t get why the movie got so much credit beforehand, and now I still don’t. It truly felt like I was watching Ferngully with blue African people. It was beautifully made though, but the story… We also saw 2012, I still don’t get the moral behind it, if the world ends we’ll still survive and we’ll go live in Africa? Seriously? The first thought that crossed my mind was “Wait… then Africa’s good enough all of the sudden? Right…” ugh. Good movies are way to rare these days.

What a cruel world. I simply cannot understand what’s happening around me lately. Half a year ago, I lost my mom and yesterday my grandpa had a heart-attack. Go figure what I felt like when I heard the news. Not me? Not again? This can’t be happening?

There was supposed to be more news tomorrow but my dad just told me there’s probably no brain-damage, the only problem now is getting the heart muscle to work again. I’m going to stay positive and await more news. There’s really nothing else I can do except wait is there? But it makes you think, why them? My mom was such a great woman, always helping others, always so worried about everything that represented nothing. She was and still is the best mom I could ever have dreamed off. And my grandpa, he’s probably the most healthiest person I’ve ever met? He’s 80 and he still goes for a 2 hour-walks every day, he still works in his garden, fixes things around the house, fixes things around our house and the rest of the family… How come perfectly healthy people can get these things?  If there were a god, why isn’t he punishing those who deserve it instead of people who wouldn’t hurt a soul.

I’m glad my exams were done before all of this happened… I think I passed all of them, although semiotics is doubtful. Ah well, I’ll see on Friday, it’s not like it would actually matter. Things that seem like a big deal don’t really seem like one after something bad happens does it?
