Coming Home
Here's a nice song for the weekend:
Coming home by P. Diddy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-ImCpNqbJw
The chorus goes like this:
Chorus: I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven
my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming......
I wish you a very nice weekend!

This Monday's News
This is the news on Monday April 23th.
PM Mark Rutte's cabinet resigned today.
The weather was really spooky and the rest of the week will also be quite nasty!
I have bought an I-Pod Touch for myself. It was quite difficult to install everything on the I-Pod.
I made my first Instagram photo! I don't know how to display that photo on this blog yet.
After a very busy weekend I have only one evening to relax and recover, and tomorrow I'm going back to work again!
I wish myself a happy week.

Beth Jeans Houston |
Willis Earl Beal |
The forthieth season of 'Later.... with Jools Holland' started yesterday on BBC2. Jools Holland presents the latest acts and the golden oldies of popmusic.
It's always on Tuesday and Friday night. I think it's the best music show ever!
Besides the fact that it is really exciting to watch, it is also fun to take pictures of the artists that I like.

Musique
Here is a very nice song from French singer Veronique Sanson that I listened to when I was younger. It's called 'Amoureuse'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MKDcsk_Ab4
Un petit peu d' information from Wikipedia:
Véronique Sanson (full name, Véronique Marie Line Sanson,[1] born 24 April 1949, in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, France) is a two-time Victoires de la Musique Award-winning French singer-songwriter, musician, and producer with an avid following in her native country.
She brings a very personal vocal style to the singing of French pop songs: Her voice has a very strong vibrato.
Unlike most previous French artists of the Sixties and early Seventies, who mostly released EPs usually consisting of a collection of singles, B-sides and covers, Sanson was one of the first female artists to release actual albums with a full-length artistic statement and comprising songs flowing together thematically. In 1972, her breakthrough album (Amoureuse) was reviewed by many critics as groundbreaking, and ten years after Barbara, Véronique Sanson became one of the very first French female singer-songwriters to break into stardom.
Over the course of a four-decade career, and despite her tumultuous love life and difficulties in overcoming alcoholism, she has never failed in her artistic career, establishing herself as one of the most prominent artists in France.

Easter Sunday
I'm enjoying a lazy and peaceful Easter Sunday. Till now it has been a sunny and bright day and I even sat outside in the garden for a while. I'm including two songs in this post, both from the Easter musical 'The Passion' with Dutch artists.

This Saturday
Well, it's Saturday again! It's the Easterweekend. The weather is very sunny, but cold (8 degrees). Last year's Easter was later in the year and temperatures were about 25 degrees.
On Friday I visited the bus for breastcancer research (see picture above) to check for breast tumors. Remember I had an operation in July 2010 to remove a breast tumor. I have been okay since then.
So, today I had two visitors! My nephew B and his girlfriend A came to surprise me with a visit! We had tea and chocolate cookies.
I also made some style photo's and did some food shopping.
Next is watching TV, there are 3 musical programs that I 'd like to watch.
Happy Easter, everybody!

Phillip Lim
Don't you love the spring/summer collection 2012 of designer Phillip Lim?
So lovely and sweet but also classy and elegant.
Of course I'm going to try to 'steal the style'.
About the man himself: a bit of information from Wikifashion:
Phillip Lim was born in Thailand and grew up in Orange County California. Phillip Lim admitted that for a long time he didn’t even know that fashion was even an option for him. He started out studying Finance and Business at college before it became really clear that this was not the career path for him. His mother was a seamstress however, so he always felt comfortable around fabrics and clothes, eventually realising that this was right profession for him.
Phillip Lim is famous for his effortless and classic aesthetic with a characteristically offbeat edge. Critics describe his womenswear collection as "girlish refinement and laid-back ease with moments of quirky romance" .
