Currently I’m very busy with lessons for my dutch drivers license. Next Thursday is the examination, I hope I make it :) And I´m also very busy with a new design and lay-out for this website! I’ts going to be dark and hardstyle looking! :P Some updates: I bought two tickets for BLACK, for my friend Lukas and myself! :) I’ll get you updated on that after the examination when I have some more time. Next saturday I’am going to a 80s/90s party in Panama Amsterdam with my girlfriend Anita and her colleagues. Not really my music style, but fun though :) And sorry, but my review on In Qontrol still isn’t there… I uploaded about 30 minutes of video to youtube. I’ll write a new post soon with the videos and en quick review. I also bought two tickets for Defqon.1 for 100 euro each.. a lot of money… but yeah, it’s the party of the year thought :) Better €100 euro on Defqon.1 than €100 on stupid useless stuff like I mostly buy ;)

Hope to see you back on my blog!
