Meanwhile… in Nijlen

by Kenny Weytens on 23 maart 2017 in Live Life

Remember how my last post boasted about posting new material every week?

Well, that didn’t quite happen, did it?

“And from now on, I will write one piece a week…”

That was his last post… 😉

It reminds me of those “famous last words of adventurers”-quotes…

– “Don’t worry, I’ll go first.”
– “I’ll bet my head that cave is empty!”
– “I bet it’s an illusion.”
– “Magic users are WIMPS!”
– “Naw – it’s just sleeping…”
– “Oh, don’t be so paranoid…”
– “But it’s only a LITTLE red dragon.”

Don’t let my lack of posts fool you, though, we’ve been very busy these past few months… all in the spirit of NoMoreMovies!

Here’s what we did…

New Year’s resolutions

by Kenny Weytens on 19 januari 2017 in Live Life

Year after year I am amazed with what you can accomplish in twelve months if you put your back into it. Working towards clearly defined goals is the only thing that keeps me from procrastinating. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and personal growth. This year I doubled the stakes by making two lists: a personal one and one for my little blog project.

Here’s what 2017 has in store for NoMoreMovies…

A big thank you!

by Kenny Weytens on 6 januari 2017 in Look Back

… for making December the most successful month for Nomoremovies. Now that 2016 lies behind us, it’s time to reflect on the first six months of my little blog project.

Interested in some facts and figures? Lucky you! From the number of blog visitors to the number of views on YouTube… it’s all here… no secrets! I also want to thank you – my dear readers – for your early support. Putting yourself “out there” can be a bit intimidating, I consider myself lucky for getting nothing but love, compliments and encouraging words in return.

And in all honesty, we are only getting warmed up for 2017! 😉

Insert coin(s) to give back!

by Kenny Weytens on 29 december 2016 in Give Back

What do YOU do with small change?

I’m talking about coins of 1, 2 and 5 euro cents. Whenever you pay with cash, they just keep on piling up. Do you hang on to them, hoping they will come in handy when buying bread from a vending machine? Mind you, even those refuse the smaller coins.

Most likely you are like me and Sofie and keep them in a piggy bank, a box or a “decorative” bottle, assured that one day you will find a good use for them.

Well, I’m here to tell you that day has come! We found the PERFECT use for them, read on!

Return to Innocence

by Kenny Weytens on 14 december 2016 in Get Inspired

Once upon a time there was a shy kid with only a handful of good friends. After a particularly tough day at school he slipped the new Hitbox album into his Philips Discman. Listening to music always cheered him up. Sitting somewhere between Def Dames Dope and Laura Pausini was Enigma’s Return to Innocence.

The native chants were intriguing but the lyrics left him speechless…

Some of you may remember Return to Innocence as a forgotten gem of the nineties. Some of you may know Enigma from their early albums. Then again, most of you probably never heard of it… Whatever may be, I invite you to enjoy this unique video, celebrating life itself.

Alone on Linnansaari island

by Kenny Weytens on 4 december 2016 in See the World

Cruising the Finnish roads near Savonlinna, my mind wandered off to the adventure that lay ahead. I felt excited and intimidated at the same time. From the moment I received Pascal and Martta’s wedding invitation, I pictured myself hiking in one of Finland’s National Parks. Just me and my camera. A few years ago I would have dismissed it as unrealistic or too dangerous to attempt. Now, after starting Nomoremovies, I decided to let go of my uncertainties and just went for it.

Black Friday shopping… at Oxfam

by Kenny Weytens on 27 november 2016 in Give Back

Instead of spending big bucks on movies, games, new phones or other things we don’t really need, we decided to try something else this Black Friday weekend. We went out shopping for original items that were made in a sustainable way AND support people who need help. In short: we visited the local Oxfam Gift Fair. Here’s a summary of what we bought… and what Oxfam intends to do with our contribution.

Rental cars and Road trips

by Kenny Weytens on 20 november 2016 in See the World

Road trips… I don’t know about you but whenever I visit a new country I get an irresistible urge to step into a car and explore the countryside. There’s something alluring about driving until you run out of gasoline – or music – not knowing what or who you may encounter along the way. The road sets you free. Finland was no exception.
