super weekend

2007-05-14T15:36:00.000Z

The previous two weekends were such a blast.I gotta say. And it all wouldn't 've been the same without my friends. Sweeties I love you. Last week at Lido was a lot of fun with all my mixed buddies,but the real fun came afterwards at the afterparty(hotel goatie, bxl)... check out my space for the pics..;) this weekend was just as much fun if not more... it all started at the blgp,where we all got to play our parts the whole event,either being part of the security team,carrying the globe or the giant rainbow flag.no matter what,the ambi was great and we were partying all afternoon.then we moved on to leuven for an all girls night... thx dj digna for boosting us up even more.. we left the party at about three or something but kept going.... more pics on this to come... the next morning was though but it was worth it... again, to all my buddies, i love you, party people xxx

Like a ghost

2007-03-21T11:56:00.000Z

like a ghost you haunt me,

like a fever you burn me,

eating me-

alive

like the ocean you rule me

with waves like tears of sadness and of joy

alike

like a hunter you hunt me

like a spider u trick me

into your web

of seduction and mystery

The L Word -part2

2007-02-13T20:20:00.000Z

The L word-part 2 Life ‘Life can be tricky and sneak up on you, like a tiger looking for pray…’ That’s a sentence from a song by Sarah Bettens, who, by now, you all know is my favourite singer. One of the things I like so much about her, is the way she depicts life in her own, unique way. It’s always spot on, without being too blunt or outspoken, or hurtful or offensive even, but no matter your mood you’ll always find a song that suits it. You’ll always find a little message there. I guess when you like things in life to a certain extant, they can become something to live for, or even by. They make life worth living, even through the hardest of times. What these things are, are personal for everyone and can be small stuff or even people. Live Sometimes you realise, we’re here to live, but that’s the only thing you’re never taught. Nevertheless, it’s the one thing you can’t do without. How you do it, is completely up to you and that’s the greatest thing about it. Whether you’re a wildcat, living from day to day, partying hard, or you prefer a more stable life, with a 9-5 job and your own house in the suburbs, it’s totally your own gig, and that’s the best part of living life. Even in times of troubles, or when u lose someone precious, at times like that, you realise it even more…live life as if it were your last day on earth…and ENJOY IT. Leisure When you like to live life how the way you’d enjoy it most, take some time out for the things you like most. Spend some time with your family and friends, take them to dinner, go catch the latest movie, or if you prefer, all get fit in the gym. Whatever you do, make sure you have fun, and you put all your heart in it.

When a stranger reveals

2006-06-15T12:29:00.000Z

When a stranger reveals how strange it feels when a stranger reveals a secret -feeling(s)- hidden, so deep how strange it is when a stranger -no more feelings revealed, a secret untold -a friend or a lover- what it beholds

2006-06-02T21:39:00.000Z

Not Insane - Sarah Bettens For everytime you tell me that I can't be who I am For everytime you twist my arm and get me to confess For every door you close on me For every boy or girl you turn your back to You will pay, the price of some day knowing that you think you tried and yet you failed to see that you can't change me I told myself today It's pretty nice to find your way no matter what you say I am not insane For every so-called victory you lose a piece of you The one that shows you love can be in everything you do... love can be in everything you do... I told myself today It's pretty nice to find your way No matter what you say I am not insane... Look inside you Find what drives you I can't change you I told myself today It's pretty nice to find your way No matter what you say I am not insane... I told myself today It's pretty nice to find your way No matter what you say I am not insane... Don't let me drag you down Sometimes it takes some falling down To get back on your feet I often think the things I want The things I really need I noticed yesterday that latetly I haven't noticed much Colours change and people change And I am busy handling the remote When you see this side don't let me drag you down When you feel this way don't let me drag you down I need You to turn me upside down In every room and every house Someone's always waiting to be hurt Sitting on my big behind I am hardly rescuing the world When you see this side don't let me drag you down When you feel this way don't let me drag you down I need You to turn me upside down Don't let me hide Behind the question Why? Mhmhmm When you see this side don't let me drag you down When you feel this way don't let me drag you down I need You to turn me upside down (c) Sarah Bettens Don't Look Back In Anger-Oasis Slip inside the eye of your mind Don't you know you might find A better place to play You said that you've never been But all the things that you've seen They slowly fade away So I'll start a revolution from my bed' cuz you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside, summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out And so, sally can wait She knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away But don't look back in anger I heard you say Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knowsIf it's not our day Please don't put your life in the hands Of a rock and roll band[and? you'll? ] throw it all away I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed 'cuz you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside, 'cuz summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face' cuz you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out And so, sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away But don't look back in angerI heard you say So, sally can wait She knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away But don't look back in angerI heard you say So, sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away But don't look back in anger Don't look back in angerI heard you say At least not today. Leef Mag ik nog even, hier bij jou? Mag ik nog één keer, voor het leven? Mag ik in stilte, hier bij jou? Mag ik nog één keer om je geven? 'k Heb niet altijd juist geleefd, maar toch iets moois geleerd. En ik leef, en ik leef... Alles gaat fout, maar 't is goed zolang ik het beleef, want ik leef... 'k Was je verloren en mij ook, alles proberen voor ik oud word. Maar ik sta nog steeds rechtop, dit keer gewapend voor het koud wordt. 'k Heb je altijd graag gezien, ben jij mijn geheim misschien? Want ik leef, en ik leef... Alles gaat fout, maar 't is goed zolang ik het beleef, want ik leef... Dat ik nu zonder spijt nog verder mag, nog kans maak dat jij, dat je weer lacht naar mij, je lacht naar mij, je lacht naar mij... En ik leef, en ik leef... Alles gaat fout, maar 't is goed zolang ik het beleef. Ja, ik leef, en ik leef... Alles gaat fout, maar 't is goed zolang ik het beleef, want ik leef...

"Busy" You think you haven't changed You think I'm being sentimental You've finally reached that age Security is fundamental You think you haven't changed You think that you're just growing older You wanted to be safe But it turned you into someone colder You're so busy these days Rearranging your place Can you still find some space for yourself You think you haven't changed Is anyone to blame I'd really like to think it's you But it seems like that's the way Everyone but me is going You're so busy these days Rearranging your face.Do you still see a trace of yourself I'm losing all of you To future plans and obligations I guess that's what you do When life's about your next vacation You're so busy these days Rearranging your place Can you still find some space for yourself You're so busy these days Rearranging your face Do you still see a trace of yourself You think you haven't changed The ones It was nice of you to come. I appreciate you stopping by and I know you like to be here. You have somewhere else to go, everyone always does. I appreciate your efforts to be supernaturally nice and I know it's not your fault that your not God or Jesus Christ. To the ones who let me down you really hurt me. To the ones who let me down you really hurt me but I know I can't expect u to give as much I think I do. When it's always about me. That's not who I want to be do u forgive me,Jezus silly how far i'm willing go to assure myself of love to make sure that i'm part of who u are and what u love To the ones who let me down you really hurt me to the ones who let me down you really hurt me but i'll try not to expect you to give as much as I think do... To the ones who let me down you really hurt me To the ones who let me down you really hurt me but I'll try not to expect you to give as much I do..

It's been a while

2005-07-17T09:43:00.000Z

hi, I know it's been quite a while since i've posted anything here,but the thing is,I' very busy these days. So i figured why not write something now.It's a calm,sunny Sunday morning afterall... only problem is ..not much inspiration. Oh I know:how about an alternate life,if u got to compare it to a tv series which would it be and what charactre would u be/want to be?Have u ever looked at your fave tv show like that. Do any of u kow the australian series Mcleod's Daughters?It's ver nice. Well I guess if my alternate life were to be on Drover's Run,I'd probably be Becky,though if I got to choose I 'd want to be more like Claire,the boss,kinda.She's the one who always gets it together,she's a fair boss to the others,and a good friend and sister to have. Have u ever thought,while watching tv,oh he/she s kinda like me? or 'wish I was a bit more like that',.. Or if u have a favourite tv charactre,u can let me U know how..

The L word

2005-06-02T10:52:00.000Z

Life ----- I guess we've all heard this one before,haven't we? Life is like a box of chocolates..u never know what you're gonna get next. I think there's a lot of truth in that saying.One day you're perfectly happy,without even realising it.You don't even have a clue...and all of a sudden one little twist of faith and your life seems like your worst nightmare. But what do you about t:mope around or get on with it...Before you know it,that twist is there again,and u can see a silver lining... so there u have it, this twist of faith....Does it really determinate all in our lifes or do we take part in it,do we have a say in what happens to us.. I say to a certain exctend we're in control of it.Up until a certain level we do control what we do and say,but not always of course.. Take emotions for example,sure,u can ignore them...maybe for a while.Whether they're good or bad emotions.Violence these days is often the result of bottled up emotions...suddenly unleashed... Who amI to say all this you might say?Don't we all know how it is, some days in our life?When we take a few moments to stand still and think about it... Some more about those emotions: Love ------ Love,what is that...is it that weird feeling u have when u see a pretty person..is it that warm feeling,that way of feeling comfortable around certain people.is it that feeling of appreciating and being appreciated by those u care for most... Love's a player...It can woo you and seduce you.It can make you feel great.It can make you foolish.Love can make you happy,but it can also be sour and painful.Love's a two-faced venetian lady Ruthless,romantic,gorgeous,bitter and sweet.How did our vision of love change through out the years. In the days of Romans it was all about the looks,and then came the middleages,whichi is when things really started to get out of hand...Love was far from a common thing in those days...Violence,Love's greatest ennemy's was more likely to be found on your daily path than Love.War,domestic violence,rape,power games.... And if you were lucky enough to find that precious thing,u'd better pray u'd live it out.... Fortunately these days are past now...after a few more centuries we've ended up in this present day.And what has that shown us? Are we really that different from or our ancestors?Or are we still prmates when it comes to loving someone? Is it really all about the sex these days?And do we only care about the outside,rather than the inside of a person.(No you weirdo,I'm not talking about myself,and not it's not just a gay thing,for all u straighto's out there,in case you're thinking it.....busted....yes u ,I saw you thinking it:p) Which brings me to my next subject: Looks ------- They say gay men are more into their looks and image and styling in general....is that so?? Well,when I look around I can certanly say at least one thing about this.In general gay guys do have more sense of style than most straight guys I know and even more so than some women.. And I'm not just talking fashion or decoration here.Nor their usually really stylish hairdo's. Why is it that in general the company of gay men is much nicer than that of most straight men.Then again,there are some really nice exceptions to this rule,as there are to every one....One can never generalise.. But here's my question again are gay's more into looks?I'm not sure... Sure you straighto's go on instinct too,and judge first,on basic first look basis...AND DON'T DENY IT you cheaky ass monkey... Oh and why is it that so many people still judge other by their looks.Just because we're not all exact klones of each other...diversity is wealth is say....embrace the color in your life...in fact,despite our differences,deep down we're all still the same,right? I say we're basically the same... Listen -------- What do you like to listen to most ? Your favourite music?the sound of your lover's heartbeat?sounds of nature?the soft sound of your baby sleeping in your arms?Or maybe a combination of it all.. To me it'd be a combination of the first two,since I don't have a baby and there's not much nature around... And what that favourite music is,I guess you all already know don't,you just have to scroll down a bit and to find out.... But then,what is music,is it the beating of a drum,the poetry in beautiful lyrics,or a guitarriff even..to me it shoud have a bit of everything:good lyrics and good music,which still holds in live performance.that's why i love k's choice and sarah and gert bettens so much.Even solo they still rock...(www.sarahbettens.com/www.gertbettens.com)

2005-05-12T20:26:00.000Z

The AB(Brussel) and 013(Tilburg) The final two concerts,again more than fantastic,it's even hard to describe. AB The ab was amazing.The crowd went wild.Esspecially when Sarah decided to crowdsurf.The smile on her face,when the wigs turned up during 'FIne' was priceless.It really was a great homeshow. Tilburg Tilburg ....can't describe it.mixed feelings.The people were so amazingly nice.;Inge you're a star.:)The concert...I never savoured a concert so much as i did that night.And when the last song was nearly over,it suddenly hit me...no more concerts for now.It was like a slap in the face.But then i thought soon thought about all those wonderul moments,the nice people i met,the fantastic shows and i soon found my happy mood again. Had a little talk with Curt,Eric,Tommy,and of course Sarah afterwards.All wonderful people. I can't believe it's all over now.Can't wait for the next show... until then ....

Antwerp and Luxembourg(den Atelier)

2005-05-07T21:06:00.000Z

Two more great concerts,who couldn't be more different from each other.Both were fabulous in there own unique way. Antwerp was special because it was very close to her home,which was nice,and that way brother Gert could come and join Sarah on Stage,and to make it even more of a family affair her mum and sister-in-law were there as well.'Moeke' is really cool btw. The concert itsself was really nice.The crowd was highly entousiastic ever since the afternoon.After the concert we got to backstage becos this really nice photography guy gave me passes and we met the band. Luxembourg was totally different.Not a festival this time(after 3 in 2 days )but a nice,small venue in luxembourg.Nice venue,nice people,nice ambience.Again a very great concert,a lot of energy,lots of fun and a nice mix of new and old songs as well as k's choice ones and a cover. After the concert still time to say hi again.

The First One

2005-05-03T10:10:00.000Z

Yesterday night i got home from the first concert,which was the day before in Rotterdam, Holland. Fortunately I could stay t a friend's place. Before the concert,we could go to the soundcheck already,being members of the street team.(thx Nathalie)where we had time to chat with Brady(who showed us his gorgeous baby girl),Sarah and Steph,who was very busy setting up the merchandising stand with Franck. The concert itself was really great, a perfect mix of the right new songs and k's Choice ones,as well as a great cover,and one totally new.the whole band was full of energy,and so was the audience...nice vibe to sarah and the dudes, thx for making my night great.

drama

2005-04-30T21:36:00.000Z

Went to see 'Million Dollar Baby' tonight.nice movie.It was a great dramatic story showing how a person can be all kinds of Great,through moments of glory and the most tragic of moments. The main characters are marvellously played by Hillary Swank(well earned Oscars),Clint Eastwood(also directed it) and Morgan Freeman.

Day 1:The day before

2005-04-30T15:21:00.000Z

Hey there, This is supposed to be the first of alot of posts in this 'diary' people call blog.I won't make any promises on how much or how long i will keep this up though,i've had a try at keeping diary/journal twice before but that didn't stick long so... But this one's different though. Tomorrow Sarah Bettens' new tour starts,and i'm going to alot of her concerts,so the first part of this blog will be kind of a tour journal.I will keep you all posted on the most remarkable events of the days on tour.What song they did,what hat did she wear this night;)lol

So until next time then eh,

greetz and maybe for some of u reading this cu at the concerts
