christmas holiday blog break is almost over

ok, call me lazy or believe that I am human – I have been sleeping, watching dvds, eating (everyday an egg and bacon sandwich) and hanging around in the last 10 days. some people would do amazing things while being in london but I’ve preferred to stick to do ‘nothing’. the only fucked thing happening to me is that I’ve lost my wallet on new years eve. I forgot it in the cab. I guess I just had to much mc donald’s food on my lap. a pakistan cab driver is now 50 pound and 30 euro richer and has surely sold my drivers license to a desperate 17 years old who wants to get into a club. lucky me…

tomorrow I go back to maastricht and I will be back ‘to blog’.

british traditions: cards

I am spending my days off at my boyfriend’s parents house in chingford, east london. I knew that the british always give cards to any occasions like christmas or birthdays but I didnt knew that they are so obsessed with that. its amazing.

bye bye dezeen

my internship at dezeen, design and architecture magazine, is over since yesterday. all the fun of reading about design and designers, resizing images, copying, pasting, putting a story together is over – a quoting of my colleague (ok, ex colleague) rose etherington. she thinks that I won’t miss this at all (that was her british humor). but I already do.

3 months of good and various experiences are lying behind me. I’ve meet a lot of people, spend a lot of time at marcus fairs and rupinder boghal’s house, meet their beautiful children (I wanna marry jordi, his son. but I have to wait 14 years. he is just 4 right now!) and learned how it is to be a part of the design circus. thanks for everything and especially for giving me the chance to be a part of your work.

ikea: made me happy today

I am not the biggest fan of ikea. ok, I like the cheap hotdogs there but I basically do not like the idea that everybody could have the same furnishing at home. so, I am here, still in brussels and my friend marco gabriele lorusso wanted to go to the ikea tonight. I’ve joined him and found this mask in the kids department. I fell in love, put it on and 4 hours later I am still wearing it. the woman at the hot-dog stand asked me if carnival started earlier this year.
