| First of all, sorry for not writing for a really really long time.
Thinking about the title of this weblog, I finally came up with associations with moviescenes. But i can call it morals behind movies too. Why I called the title like that? This is why:
After an early mastercollege, being tired and sleepy, you just want to relax, right? Well I do. Relaxing nowadays for people is watching television or more likely doing something you don't have to pay attention to or what scientists call 'the peripheral route' of processing. When your need is relaxing, you don't have much motivation to watch something which needs your involvement and you have low capacity (because you're tired) to be involved in the movie. In this case you don't have high involvement in the things you do. But when you caught up in some scene, this is different.
Enough with all the theories. What I wanted to say is. My boyfriend and I watched Grey's Anatomy yesterday. I haven't watched the last three episodes, i think. So we watched all the episodes. And I was blown away by the last one. They made me tear, for people who didn't watch yet, go watch it. It's worth it, maybe you don't follow it, still watch it. What I've been trying to say it: the last episode was not only an exiting episode but it has some story behind it. Well the makers want you to have some thoughts about it.
The whole episode goes about : Life's too short, enjoy when you can, tell people you love them before it's too late.
After the episode, you will think about that kind of things, with my boyfriend beside me, I thought: Does he really know I truely love him? Although I say it to him alot, does he know that I'm serious and that I don't want anything to happen to him? You think about little things in life and appreciate them. I've always think about that. I've never regret the choices people make for me. Sometimes it's only time, that they're willing to give up to spend that time with me.
Just think about it.
Thanks everyone for reading. I love you guys.

| I've been kind of busy with the whole interviews for an internship this week. This Monday I got to hear that I was not hired at the anti-discrimination agency. I felt sad, cause I really thought they would hire me. You can look back at the last post and see that I was really happy that I had found a place where I could work. But it didn't turned out the way I wanted it to be. You know when your dreams will be sheddered and fall apart, that's what I felt like. I was almost about to give up on the interviews. Oh yeah the reason why I didn't get hired is because at the last day someone else applied for the same job. And she was a better canidate for the job. The lady called me and said that they think my Dutch is not that perfect that's why I didn't get hired. I bet the girl who applied was Dutch. And they supposed to be a anti-discrimination agency. It sounded a little discriminated to me. They knew Dutch is not my first language and it's more difficult to me to speak Dutch, but my writing in Dutch is perfect and my resume has no mistakes in Dutch spelling or grammar. I was a little mad when I got to hear that. But the reason for me not to give up is my lovely boyfriend. He's been busy with his study, but always has the time for me when I needed it. I've send four more letters to agencies where I wanted to work. And on Thursday I had an interview in Amsterdam. It was two bussiness in one, Sense Studios and Wicked Jazz Sounds. The interview was fun and interesting. I felt good about it. Those two men were really nice. When I just stepped in the place, it was kind of weird, I was expecting a big office. But it was kind of small and all the people worked at the same room. I saw only men working there and felt misplace. But later when they got introduced, I thought they were really a team and the inviroment was good. After the interview they gave me an assignment and I had to hand it in the next day. The assignment was to make an propesition or plan to promote a music cd. It sounded really fun because I could be creative. So right away I thought of some ideas. The next day (today)I drew it all on paper and type some ideas on my laptop. Then I sent it with the drawing. They replied and said it was looked nice and they will call me in the afternoon after discussion. Later today I had another interview, it was late in the afternoon. I went there, but got the wrong address and went to the old place where they used to located. So the reception called the placed and someone came to pick me up, because it was not far away. I knew that this interview wouldn't turn out great, but I still had hope. They were looking for someone in January/Feburary and for 6 month. I was only availble for 4 month beginning as soon as possible. So they said they will think about placing me. Later I had a call from Wicked Jazz Sounds and Sense Studios. Congratulations, you are hired! That sounded so good to my ears!! Ok I will tell more later. It's already 12:45 am now and I'm tired. Goodnight! | | |
| I'm so glad that the search is over. I don't have to look for another internship. Right now I'm having a headache, but trying to get this story on xanga, before I totally forget it. And my throat is a bit sore. I just made some tea, hoping it will get better. Oh yeah, to tell you more about the search for the internship, this Monday (yesterday) I had a interview. It was not so far away from the place I live, I could just take the bus. It took me less than 30 minutes, that was great cause I hate long trips with the train and subway. It rained that day, but I didn't care.
When I got there being a lil wet and my hair was kind of messy. It was a small place where only 7 people was working. I had a warm welcome stepping in the place. Everyone gave me a hand and introduced themselves. The interview went well. At the end they asked me if I had any more other interviews, and I answered that I had one on Friday. They told me they had some kind of worktrip on Friday and Saturday and they were asking me to join them if I like to. So that way I can also meet people and see how things are going. They told me to see how the interview on Friday goes and then make a decision if I wanted to go with them. Everything was right. I only hoped that they hired me. And they did indirectly, for giving me the choice to choose them or the people on Friday.
I felt happy about it. At first I wanted to say I want to do my internship at this place, so I can work here right away. And it's not far from my house. And I have a lot of freedom at this place to work the way I want. It sounded perfect and I wanted to say: YES YES YES!
But it's right to think about it. Or not. My parents and my boyfriend are telling me to take it right away, not think about the interview on Friday. A part of me is like holding me back and giving excuses like: if I call them now, don't they find it strange? They asked to me to wait till friday and see how it goes. But I already know that I want to work there. On the other side, they might interview someone else before Friday and she/he will get the job. That would totally suck.
I think I'll have to call them tommorow and say that I've made my mind. I really really want to work there!
Oh yeah, it's an anti-discrimination office. They changed their name and wanted me to promote them. And turn up their reputation.

| Last week I had two interviews, and at the end of the week I got the call if I got hired or not. And as expected I didn't get any. So in the weekend I applied to others agencies. Yesterday I got a call and made an appointment for today. I got out of the house at 2:15pm and stepped on the train at 2:42, got in amsterdam at 3:25. But then I got lost, I've printed out the description of the route but still I got lost. But I got there on time. And the interview went well, that's what I think.
The weather sucks today. It was raining. And I had no umbrella. The way to the subway was pretty long too. But it was okay. It was 4:50pm when I was done with the interview. I sent a textmessage to my boyfriend and ask him if I could have dinner with him. So we had dinner together. The fun part after an interview is that I can see my boyfriend. It's nice to have someone that support you. Sometimes I feel useful and down, he'll be there to comfort me and cheer me up. I couldn't wish for anyone or anything better.
The song I've uploaded, it gives me strength to move on..and not giving up for looking and applying for an intership
