My precious blog visitor ♥
Sorry for the delay, my dear. During the day I realized that I really had to test my presentation on that same day, because tonight I will be in Antwerp and having to make big changes on Thursday would be too late to implement new feedback comfortably.
“Test driveee”
So I spent my entire Monday (plus Sunday partly) crafting 58 PowerPoint slides, cooking, (partially) listing what points to make per slide and writing several different types of hand-outs (for both individual and group assignments).
At some point I decided that I should better wing it for now, having noted key statements for only the first 6 slides, because it was getting late and I really needed to try the presentation that day, to make use of the feedback.
So there I went. 🙂
It was already 12:35 AM, when my mother and I had our cups of tea, ready to walk through this. I was very glad that she was still awake.
From my side I noticed that I was lost for words often from wanting to make the statements that are in the written essay, but having forgotten how I formulated it. So I need to read my essay a time or two and reflect that to my presentation to make sure that I get my point across.
My mother said that the overall presentation was fun, but that I should explain the “formula” better. To make sure that my audience goes home uplifted and with the feeling that my presentation has added something to their lives. You know: “Wat heb ik eraan?”
The “formula” is about this:
I start with saying that by the end of the hour you have a clear answer to this question.
I agree with her. There was an entire section about personal mission in regard to “The Compass” I had left out, because of the time. And because of that, it was a lot less clear why I mentioned what I mentioned in the earlier parts of the presentation and how the question is answered at the end, by the things we have done in the meantime. So that is one of the things I’m going to change when I’m hotel chilling.
This test presentation took about 45 minutes. There were questions asked in the meantime, but the group assignments we could not do (because for that I need at least 4 people and we were with 2), so time-wise it seems like it’s going to be tight. Though at first I was trying to say as many words as possible per slide, it seems like I should better focus on keeping it short. But not too short…
I’m very happy we’ve done this now. Then I have today for little edits and Wednesday to try again. If I’ll try again again on Thursday I don’t know… Maybe I’ll spend that day only focusing on rest and relaxation.
For now I’m going to spend some time on rest and relaxation as well. Good night ♥

Heyy ♥
Antwerpartment
I’m in the metro in Antwerp as I am writing this. I figured I might as well check out what public transportation is like here, since I might be doing that a lot from September 24th onwards.
Meanwhile I have visited the apartment.
I like the high ceilings and the classic-ish finishing touches 🙂
This place has no home office though and is next to a relatively busy road, but I could make myself at home here for sure.
The bedroom has a built-in closet which is ultra chill and the living space is large enough to get creative with 🙂
The bathroom is fine too though I would appreciate an unexposed boiler
Kitchennn
Haha my pictures are really random because I was taking them mid-conversation by squeezing my HTC U11 every time entering a different space.
All these apartments are nice but deep down my heart desires a remote piece of land… For now I just need to get through these university years though. 🙂
Restaurant dinner? Not today 😀
This whole journey was quite rushed for I packed just a few minutes before leaving and I was just in time for my visitation by coincidence. I overslept so had dropped my mother off at work to take the car to Antwerp around 14:40.
I checked in at Arass Hotel at 15:30 – breaking some speed rules don’t try that at home – and then struggled with getting the car into the right garage for a while.
There were two garage entrances through the same gate and I saw that the hotel garage entrance required a special key, so decided to park in the other garage just to check in and take my suitcase to my room for a second.
So after checking in and dropping off my bag – plus quickly changing shirts because my adrenaline driving makes me sweaty ahahahahah – I had to drive that Volvo station out of the narrow garage backwards, hoping that no one would attempt to enter it in the meantime. When it comes to that, I was lucky that only one car arrived right after I just left my parking spot. I used my room key to get into the hotel garage – without any new scratches [note I have never scratched a car] 🙂 – and there I’ll leave it probably until I go back home.
On my way back towards the hotel, I was in doubt whether or not to eat in a restaurant tonight. But my room has a little kitchen and Delhaize (shout out to ((pretty eyed)) Frans I hope you think I’m cool haha) is right across the road, so…
Lil kitchen
Lil groceries for dinner and breakfast. I also bought a bag for vegetables, saving plastic. 🙂
Lil fridge (just stacking as much as possible there. I like my things in one place (especially for a short stay))
My room is chill 🙂
*randomly appears* 😸
I’m going to take a nap, cook and spend the rest of the night chilling in my panties yay. The last time I were all alone like this was in Egmond. So I’ll be enjoying my alone time for now. And tinkering my presentation of course. Tomorrow is for city exploration. 🙂 See you later xxx

Simple Dinner Yays
My dinner was very nice. I don’t know what to do with my left-overs. Maybe I’ll be in the mood for a late night snack though. 😸
Usually I hold back when frying in butter. This has taught me to not hold back. 😻
This and that super tasty portabella I ate when I visited my first potential apartment. My picture is popular 😸
Mouse biteee I couldn’t wait for the picture. Haha it now shows that the mustard and mayonaise I bought (plus the garlic) were for my dressing 😸
In other random news:
First I was #1 of Curacao on ASKfm 😸
Now I’m #57 of Belgium 😸
Oh and meooow my dress will be delivered on Friday between 10 AM and 3 PM… I’ll leave the house around 2 PM so I really reallyyy hope it will be there on time. But I should look for a back-up dress, which is what I’ll do tomorrow between 11 and 3 because I have some hours to kill until my next two apartment visitations.
More randomness: it has been a very long time since someone I passed on the street has made me go 😻 . But woaah today when I walked outside Delhaize there was a super tall and muscular guy with brown hair, thick eyebrows and cheeks like Andreas Eriksen, which made me almost want to enter owl mode spinning my neck 180 degrees because damn… 😻 Haha hellooo Belgium. 😀 😻 Ahahahahahaha
More more randomness: I randomly got my period last Thursday. It’s random because last time was September 2018 or something. Usually it’s fucked up, but I was actually quite happy with it because it’s a confirmation dat de boel nog werkt enzo. (Harry Mulisch reference looooool.) It must be from stress relief. As long as it stays infrequent because other than that I still really don’t like that strange part of nature. 🙂
I say stress relief because I’m starting to see ways to get my concept, including myself with all that I can do, off the ground again, hoping coming Friday will get me good references. And meowww I should get a Wiki page online. Maybe I could do that on Thursday.
For now I’m going to clean the kitchen and see what’s next. Goood night in advance. ♥

How’s it going, _lilfangs?
OK, I used to be Instagram-famous, too.
If you’re like me, you have trawled Instagram, wondering “how do these darn people on Instagram get so famous”?
Imagine: it is Friday morning and you told yourself you’d go for a run today.
You roll over in bed to check your cellphone.
Make your way to Instagram.
Whoaaa, you think, Over 561 likes on a single picture.
You put your super-duper soft slippers on and head to the kitchen for some tea. After putting on the kettle, you pull out your phone again.
Bam! Another 38 likes.
Here comes another one. This time it’s not a like but a message from one of your followers. They congratulate you on your success and let you know they absolutely love your content.
The kettle blows and you pour your tea. When you flip out your phone, there’s another message–this time from a young girl–thanking you for posting. She follows you religiously and you are an inspiration.
While you sip your tea, you start typing up your response. But then your cell buzzes.
It is another message coming in. You glance up at the clock–almost time for the gym. You’ll have to hit them up later.
Listen, _lilfangs, most people just aren’t in control of their life. Seriously, they can’t even force themselves to eat a balanced breakfast, much less hit the gym.
Now, let’s learn to take control of your Instagram.
Imagine if you raised your engagement by 100%, or 1000%?
It is not difficult to do, although almost no one does. Just check out our website. There, you will learn how to garner Instagram likes and followers like mad…effortlessly.
In just minutes after posting, you have your images piled with likes.
If you are anything like our other customers, you’ll have a great chance of hitting the “Top Post” section in a very short time.
Sound too good for reality? Just follow these steps to get a taste:
1. Check out https://tomm.pw
2. Plug in your Instagram username.
3. The 3 pictures you posted last will get 10 – 15 likes. Just like that.

Chow until next time
Hey, _lilfangs!
Don’t you wish you had a chance at being Instagram popular?
Have you ever thought about how to be an Instagram Influencer?
Picture this: You arise early Friday, even before your alarm goes off.
You pull out your cell.
Open the Instragram App.
Hmmm, you think, Over 561 likes on a single picture.
Heading to the kitchen, you put the kettle on for some tea and glance at your Instagram while you wait.
Bam! Another 49 likes.
And here comes another message. It is from one of your followers asking about your workout regime, and congratulating you on your sixth official month of eating healthy.
A smirk grows on your face as you see another message. This person emailed you to let you know she loves your posts.
Within minutes, your cell buzzes AGAIN.
It’s another message coming in. You glance up at the clock–almost time for the gym. You will have to reply later.
Let’s stop the simulation there. People have a hard time getting what they want in life. People can hardly get themselves to eat a good breakfast.

Hi Jame,
Your offer sounds very tempting, but unfortunately I will have to decline. The network has been blocking my content without giving me a chance to defend myself. Because of this I will never use Instagram (or Facebook) again.
Influencership seems the only way to creative income for people from my generation, but unfortunately I have to somehow try to make it some other way.
Hello there,
My name is Dennis Perpetua and I’m the Blogger Outreach manager at QualityGuestPosts.com .
I saw your blog and decided to get in touch, because I think that a lot of our clients will be interested in regular article placements, either paid guest posts (we provide an article) or sponsored content (you/your team write it for us).
This could potentially bring some good regular income for you or you business.
Would you be interested?
P.S.: If you don’t want me to get in touch again, please let me know.
Kind Regards,
Dennis Perpetua

Hi Dennis,
For any cause, any topic and any audience, I (there is no team) would love to write. I am very interested. Please tell me more. 🙂
Kind regards,

Hey,
I heard about SocialAdr from a friend of mine but was hesitant at first, because it sounded too good to be true. She told me, “All you have to do is enter your web page details and other members promote your URLs to their social media profiles automatically. It literally takes 5 minutes to get setup.”
So I figured, “What the heck!”, I may as well give it a try.
I signed up for the ‘Free’ account and found the Setup Wizard super easy to use. With the ‘Free’ account you have to setup all your own social media accounts (only once though) in order to get started. Next, I shared 5 other members’ links, which was as simple as clicking a single button. I had to do this first in order to earn “credits” which can then be spent when other members share my links. Then I added a couple of my own web pages and a short while later started receiving notification that they had been submitted to a list of social media sites.
Wow. And this was just with the ‘Free’ account!
I was impressed.
Check it out for yourself: http://bit.ly/adrsocial
It was clear to me that the paid accounts were worth it, so I upgraded to the ‘Social Addict’ package (the big daddy!). With their ‘Lazy’ accounts you don’t have to do any sharing, all you do is enter your own web page details and their army of free users does all the work.
It’s been about 2 weeks now and I’ve received thousands of social media mentions…on AUTOPILOT.
If you’re like me and know good value when you see it, you should definitely give SocialAdr a try.

To your success!
