Busy as a bee

Helloooo it's been a while! I am currently standing in the middle of my room holding a frame for my new bed that we're putting.up! It takes 5 people to put up a bed :p I've been extremely busy lately what with my part time job, volunteer work and school! We had a 2 week holiday which was really nice, tiring though! It included lots of parties and late nights :D
Watched Inception on Friday, it's so good.but so confusing! :o And I went to the cinema to watch Gravity which was also very good :) I freaked out at one point though...

What else? Did I write about my birthday? Well anyway I got a totoro onesie, a rice cooker, some amazing tea with a thermos and a whale tea strainer and several other cool things :3 

I should.probably help with the bed.... Till next time! :p

More Majamba fun~

It's quite cool working for Majamba, it's a really interesting concept and we're trying to find ways to get people more interested. The problem is it's been 20 days (out of 100) and we've only got 4 boosters.... We need many many more! Even just boosting 22 francs would be a big help.

Let's make music free! :p
Imagine being able to go to a concert as a reward for doing volunteer work, or even using the hugs you earn to start your own project or buy fairtrade gifts made in India!

When we were working at the Paléo Stand in Nyon for the Paléo Festival then we had these amazing bracelets made by women in India to get some money, we would love to help them.

And imagine if you could support 1'000'000 artists with this musical platform. There are so many talented people out there just waiting to be discovered :3

So please spread the word about Majamba and give us feedback! :)

MAJAMBA :D

 Here is a little something about the social network called Majamba. Let's make music free by doing good in the world! :)

 

 

A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA TO MAKE MUSIC FREE AND GIVE ARTISTS A FAIR DEAL.

Majamba and Universal Music will offer the best music experience via the Majamba Music Network to everyone who discovers and promotes new artists, authentic artisans and inspiring entrepreneurs.

Why? Music has always been a force for good. More than forty years ago, Jimi Hendrix said “If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music”. Today, there are millions of artists, artisans and entrepreneurs waiting to be discovered and get a fair deal for their creativity and talent.

“Majamba proposes a new network community, where the users will access and enjoy the music they love wherever they are. As active member, people will not only “do good”, but will also contribute to sustainable artist creativity which drives our industry since decades. Universal Music is – therefore – very proud to be part of this social & cultural adventure”. – Ivo Sacchi, Managing Director of Universal Music Switzerland.

“Getting goodies by doing good is the essence of Majamba. Today thanks to Universal Music the “Goodies” just got much, much bigger.” – Rajiv Srivastava, CEO & Co-Founder of Majamba.

What? The goal of Majamba Music Network is to offer everyone the opportunity to discover and promote new talent and in return get the best music experience – music concerts, “Money Can’t Buy” experiences and exclusive music downloads – for free!

How? In order to finance the search for talent worldwide, Majamba is launching a crowdfunding campaign on 100-Days.Net. During the next 100 Days, everyone can support the Majamba “Make Music Free” campaign with as little as 22 Swiss Francs. Gifts for supporters include T-shirts, Music+ gift cards, Exclusive and Limited edition CDs, concert tickets, VIP pack from Universal Music Artists, for example: Robin Thicke, Maroon5, Ellie Goulding, Rolling Stones, Bastille, OneRepublic and many more. All rewards will be announced on the campaign blog: MakeMusicFree.Org

Roll Out Plan: Majamba Music Network will be rolled-out starting December 2013 in Switzerland, India, United Kingdom and the United States. Majamba Music Network will promote, distribute music and authentic products around the world.

Nao's News~

Hello~ ~ ~ ~

I hope everyone is happy :3 I am!! Even if I should be working at the moment...
I've been at school for 2 weeks and the atmosphere in the class is not bad at all, we even went and had lunch together by the lake one time. So cool! >w<
I went swimming haha... Only me... T-T But it was really nice and refreshing.

Anyways~ I'm listening to Step-Vampire Weekend at the moment-> LOVE IT *^*

I just went to a YFU re-entry weekend and I don't know how to describe it... we were only there for 24 hours but by the end I had a group of friends I felt like I'd known for ages! It was epic.
We shared our experiences from our exchanges and it really felt good to talk about how we felt and how to reintegrate and stuff. It was strange for me cos I've been back for 8 months and they just got back a month ago but it was still cool~~ Olivia was there too :3
And Janine! She just got back from America so yeh.

We played a bunch of crazy games and I think I won't go into much detail because they were really really crazy!!!

I've got a Spanish test tomorrow... and I need to read a book for Tuesday
 :O

High school~

I've started gymnase! I'm in 2nd year without having done the 1st year so I'm still rather confused but it's super cool here! My class is really nice :) Sometimes the school days seem reeeaaally long but oh well, that's life :P
I need to concentrate on my studies so that I don't fail my year and my exams etc..
Oh yeh, today I started chinese! It seems like a fun class hehe! The teacher is epic.
Don't really know what else to write so I guess I'll write more another day :)

I need to dedicate a whole post to Majamba (where I'm working) I think!

Ja ne!

PS

Oh yeh and I got the job from 2 posts back! ^__^
It's only once a week so I don't get payed much but it's better than nothing! I need to get a real part time job soon...

Hallo hallo hallo~

Hello everyone! It's been a while. Hope you're all well, I certainly am hehe!
So I have been on holiday for a loooong time now and I haven't done that much.... but I'll talk about the things I have done!
So last week for example I was working at Majamba (a social network where you get points called hugs if you do volunteer work and you can use the hugs to get concert tickets, to start a mission of your own or to buy goods!) at Paléo with my sister. It was exhausting, but a good experience! It was the first time I'd done anything like it so yeh.
We got 2 shifts of 2 hours and 2 breaks of 2 hours everyday until midnight so we got to go to quite a lot of concerts which was AWESOME!! That was also a first for me seeing as I've only ever been to free concerts (apart from seeing Katie Melua once with my parents).
We saw Phoenix, Alt-J, Arctic Monkeys, Santana, Blur and many others.

The week before that we went to the montreux Jazz festival, I wasn't a fan of the free concerts there.... but Meri says she saw George from AlunaGeorge so that's cool I guess :P It was fun anyway~

We had a friend over from Kenya the week before that and with her we went on walks, picnics, shopping trips etc..
And before that... oh yes my sister Phili was here! She's in Germany now but she'll come back soon :3

I've been recovering from last week and so I've done nothing but watch Yumeiro Patissiere (Yes, again. Yes, all of it.)  :P Yesterday I did do a lot of cleaning in the house....
Nananaaaaaaaaaaaa what else? I've been looking after Aya's cats for a week and watering her plants! Kinda scary at first cos I didn't see one of the cats until the third day!! And there was a storm so the flowers got a bit destroyed.. and then it was boiling so they dried out a bit. T-T
I had to dehead (?) them and water them a lot! But now it's fine I think :S Bref!

What else.... I really am writing everything about my life now aren't I! Oh yes, I chatted to David on Facebook on Saturday and he's made it to Nice!! Impressive indeed :3 He put up a lot of photos which is cool, and he seems really tanned!!

I think I'll shut up now. I need to write letters. Oh yeh a guy called Arno from Majamba was really cool :) He speaks Japanese! We talked a bit about anime and stuff in Japanese...




Oyasumi les amis! ^-^
