What is up for 2008?

First of all, let me wish you a blissful, happy and succesful 2008!

Was 2007 as succesful for you as you imagined it would be? To me, it was succesful in an acadamic way: I received some pretty good grades at University, and found a subject that really interests me (Postcolonial studies)…

I went to another country for an exchange programm (erasmus), the Uk, and it was a valuable experience, both socially and academically.

I have enough goals to fulfill for 2008:

• First, I want to receive my bachelor degree this year. So I can be extra proud of myself for finalizing a higher education level.
• I want to explore my business potential(s): becoming a succesful businesswoman and negotiator (although I haven’t narrowed my field yet, this is a goal I want to achieve)
• Clotheswise and fashionwise, buy more expensive classic items and keep the cheap and cheerful for the more faddish items.
• I would love to visit a new country and/or city this year: Canada, NYC, Brazil, Sweden…so many countries, so little time.
• or revisit an excellent country/city I have been before (Barcelona/Bangkok/Scotland)
• Become more of a minimalist (instead of the ultimate chaotic gatherer of all things cosmetic/fashion/etc)—>a need for a big spring-clean
• Get more valuable friends and maintaining the good friendships I already have (friends are the new family)
• Take good care of my baby snake (and find a name for him)

So, happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Home Sweet Home

After being away for three months, I am home again! The three months in Liverpool were both fantastic as a pain-in-the-@#$. Fantastic were the nights out:

Lovely….

Rethinking Aigburth

 

 Aigburth surely produced a lot of valuable friendships, wonderful flirtations, and some secret loves. The award for best friendship goes to Joan and Silvia!!! They were the best friendship in my opinion! Joan had his share of ladies during his stay, but he stayed a faithful friend to Silvia…kudos for that…

 Ofcourse, romance was on the Aigburth menu as well. One of the cutest couples were Fran and Selena.Another cute flirtation happened between ‘Northen’ Martina and ‘Southern’ Joan. Martina was one of the biggest organisers and partypersons of Aigburth…Joan was a big partyer and a feisty boy…so they got together for a while (beautiful couple) Oh ohh, Philip might have been interested in the Czech Denisa as well… They kept it quiet (except for the dear neigbour who heard some noises, oi…)

Merry Merry Merry (oh heck, I am bored) Xmas

1. Do not sexually harass mr. Santa after drinking too much eggnog!
2. Yes, even if you think the food you’ll eat will magically dissapear…it will come back on your body with a vengeance.
3. For the single people: being with a partner with Christmas isn’t always bliss (think battling over the remote control)
4. For the coupled people: being single during Christmas can make you end up snogging unsuitable persons (see no 1).
5. And for all other persons who are not too fond of Christmas: oh shut up, at least you only have 1 day…in the Netherlands there are 2 (yes two) days of obligatory Chrismas!!!

Happy Christmas!!!

2 days before Christmas

Allright, I am not the ultimate Christmas lover, and I found the perfect Xmas poem to share to all the poor reindeer wives who are in the shadows of their famous husbands:

A Letter to Rudolph

Dear Husband, It is time that I must have my say,
I’ve taken your shit day after day.
I’ve kept the home peaceful year after year
Now there is going to be changes, so listen my dear.

So you’re famous, everyone knows your name,
And you’re a specialist by gum, in the transport game,
You think you’re so grand with your important job.
But I’m telling you my dear you’re a worn out old yob

363 days a year,
You sit on your arse drinking scotch, rum and beer,
You claim it is to keep up the shine on your nose
So Santa can see where he bloodywell goes.

One night a year is all that you work,
You and your eight reisty mates – they’re all jerks.
Dasher and Dancer – Speed freaks I say,
The sleigh wouldn’t go that quick any other way.
Prancer and Vixen – Just cheap little tarts,
But they look like angels once Comet starts.

Cupids on some freaked out damned power trip,
And Donner…well, she should just get a damned grip
And Blitzen, I almost don’t need to say,
Is here getting blitzed with you every day.

All of these years at the front of the sled,
Has gone, I’m afraid, to your crusty old head.
You’re a layabout and a drunkard, with a big shiny nose,
And a weakness for elves in black pantyhose.

I’m telling you husband that one Christmas song,
Has made you think that you can do no wrong.
So this year while your out with old Santa’s sled,
I am eloping, my dear, with your friend – Mr. Ed

“What a friendly guy”

Last friday my significant other (aka boyfriend) came to the UK to pick me up and take me home…bliss! After three months of enduring campus life, which was both fun and frantic, he came to rescue me from the ‘mad’ Erasmus clique.

I tried to let him introduce himself, but I could not force him so much—> free will, blah blah blah. However, I did introduce him to Kathya and Victor

Surprise, He found Victor to be “a friendly guy”! I kind of forgot to mention that the same Victor probably posed indecent proposals to the entire campus (including the boys)…He was quoted to be “an ass”, “an idiot” and the “guy with the red skinny jeans” who “didn’t like female writers”…charming.

On the other hand, he probably is a friendly guy when you leave out the bad stuff…

the pirate header

  Don’t you love the pirate header? Perhaps it would have been better to put Captain Jack Sparrow (aka the lush Johnny Depp) over here, but I love his deep gaze and the bling of the ring… By the way, I kind of feel attracted to the image of adventure a pirate oozes…That reminds me of the Chrismas gift I got from my love: he gave me a gorgeous Lampropeltis triangulum, which is a milk snake….

  

I like snakes… Actually, I found the one my boyfriend had a bit scary in the beginning, but I really like him right now. And now I have my own snake. Ohh, what name should I give him????

BLOG-O-RAMA

 How to write a blog that is more than mediocre? At this point, I have no idea… Pff, I will just try and write down some witty stuff…mediocre or not…
