Chinese 2 :) (also English, French and Dutch)

If you want to have a conversation in China, here are some sentences with English, French and Dutch translations. I did French and Dutch translates too, because French is one of my subjects on school and it's an important language in Europe (after English)  and I did Dutch, because it's a language I speak every day.

Red = English
Pink = Chinese
Orange = French
Green = Dutch

Hey,

Hey!! 

I know I want to make more Chinese articles, but I'm very busy now with school. I have this week a big Netherlands test and a Chinese test. In the weekend I'll make an article. I promise!

Last time Janneke posted a lot of articles. This is because she has her own blog :o Her blog is called: http://justjanneke.blogspot.nl/ It's very dissapointing for the people who can't understand Dutch. It's totaly Dutch, because she don't want to translate all her articles. 

I keep my promiss and I'll see you next weekend!

Quotes and me

Quotes… I love them! Sometimes it almost feels like they were made for you. I have this feeling often when I look on Twitter. Today, I’m going to share these quotes and pictures with you.

This is a quote that inspires me very much. I sometimes feel down, because people ask too many things from me or because I feel like I’m trying very hard and but it still isn’t good enough. Then I’ll look at these kind of pictures and I’ll feel happy again!

Yeah… I have a crush on someone! :) For like 1 to 2 years now, but I’m just scared to tell him how I feel. We’re good friends, and I’m scared that he doesn’t feel the same way and it would become very awkward between the 2 of us, but Nathalie and Evie say that they’re sure he likes me too and that we’re cute together :) But still, I don't know...

Haha, I just have to laugh when I read this quote! It’s true… There are people that I love to be around with, like my friends, family and crush! :) There are also people that I love to avoid, like when I’m angry at that person. And then there are also people that I’d love to punch in the face :p But only when you’re being very annoying or rude!

It’s so true… The picture says enough! ;)

So this was it for now! I hope you enjoyed reading this and let me know what you think, what your favourite quote is and which quote feels like it was made for you!

Xoxo,

Janneke!

Queensday 2013

Queensday!

Here, in Holland, we celebrate Queensday every year, at April the 30th. I don't know sure if everybody of you, in Russia or the United States or another country, know it, but in Holland, almost everybody celebrate it. 

Change
Next year, there's no Queensday anymore! It will change into Kingsday, because our queen is going to abdicate. Beatrix was 33 years queen of the Netherlands and she's already 75 years old, so I think she deserves it. On Queensday this year, prince Willem-Alexander will be King Willem-Alexander. Because of the date of his birthday, April 27th, Kingsday is next year on that day.

What are we going to do?
I don't already know what I'm going to do, but I can tell you what a lot of other people do at queensday.
The royal family
Every year, the royal family is going to visit 1 or 2 towns in Holland. They're going to walk through the streets and the people beside the street can shake their hand, give them a present or (if you lucky), you can make a photograph with one of them. There are a lot of activities for the family, such as danceperformances, games and 'koekhappen' (see photo).
Fair
The 'flea market' (vrijmarkt) is very populair. People can sell or buy old stuff. This is very populair, especially in Amsterdam.
Festival
There are a lot of festivals and concerts on Queensday. In the night before and after Queensday are also a lot of people who going out and party the whole night.

The queen and the princess
The queen always wears a hat. They are very funny sometimes, so I'll show you some photo's:

Our princess, Princess Máxima, wears always very modern and beautiful dresses and clothes:

Of course, you can also wear red-white-blue clothes or an blazer in orange. Or just one item in orange with jeans. Oh, and don't forget your nails and the accessoiries!

Have a nice Queensday!

For the girls from Holland, have a nice (and sunny) May-holiday!

Tag: This or that

Hi girls!

So, I thought it would be fun if I did a tag. I love reading tags from other bloggers, so I thought: why wouldn’t I do this?
I chose to do the ‘this or that tag’. This is a tag where you have to choose between two things every time. I thought it would be a lot of fun to make, but also hard because sometimes I thought: ‘OMG! I can’t choose...’ I  also think that it will be fun and interesting for you to read and compare with your own opinion.
I hope you’ll enjoy!
