Na 3 dagen en 3 nachten niks binnen te hebben kunnen houden, vreselijke buikkrampen, slapeloze nachten, om de 30 minuten naar de wc moeten en me alsmaar zwakker en slapper gaan voelen heb ik het eerlijk gezegd wel weer zo'n beetje gehad met die buikgriep....Serieus, ik kan me niet herinneren dat ik ooit zo'n heftig buikgriepvirus te pakken heb gehad. Misschien toen ik nog een klein kind was, maar

Nu ik er éindelijk over kan meepraten moet ik toch zeggen dat 24 zijn nu niet bepaald anders voelt dan gisteren nog 23 zijn. *hint* *hint* *hint*

Eigenlijk kon een down natuurlijk niet uitblijven na de vele ups van de laatste week... Gistermorgen ben ik ontiegelijk door m'n rug gegaan, waardoor ik nu met vreselijke pijn rondloop en eigenlijk elke houding zeer doet. Zitten, lopen, liggen, werkelijk alles doet pijn. Dus ik moet het erg stilletjes aan doen en veel rusten. Hopelijk is m'n rug tegen vrijdagvond voldoende hersteld zodat ik m'n

M'n week kon eigenlijk al niet meer stuk [zie vorige post --> ik heb 'm gemaild en we gaan binnenkort een keer afspreken :)], maar nu kreeg ik vandaag ook nog eens te horen dat ik bij de komende reorganisatie gewoon bij mijn huidige collega's en leidinggevende mag blijven! Wooeeeeeh, echt gewéldig nieuws! Ik zou eigenlijk bij een ander team met een andere (heel wat minder leuke) leidinggevende

Ik heb toestemming gekregen van m'n baas! Nog twee weekjes werken en dan heb ik niet één, maar wel twee hele weken vrij! Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeej!Ik had mijn vakantie overigens net op tijd aangevraagd, want blijkbaar had mijn directe collega -die hetzelfde werk doet als ik- afgelopen vrijdag -toen ik roostervrij was- alles in het honderd laten lopen. Daarom hebben ze hem nu 5 weken

Deel 1: De Love Parade was helemaal geweldig. Ik heb nog niet vaak zoiets gaafs meegemaakt en ik had het perfecte gezelschap bij me! :) De sfeer was ongelooflijk. Je moet het echt een keer zelf meegemaakt hebben om het te begrijpen. Het treinvervoer naar en van Essen was echter één grote chaos. We hebben op de heenweg bijvoorbeeld een uur in Viersen moeten wachten omdat de trein die we eigenlijk

Om een lang verhaal over te slaan en maar meteen tot de conclusie te komen: één week vakantie is echt veel te kort! Daarom heb ik zojuist even besloten dat ik over 4 weken niet één, maar twee weken vakantie pak. Nu m'n baas nog even zien over te halen dat ik een week extra kan opnemen...Ook al was het kort, ik heb het wel enorm naar m'n zin gehad. Een paar leuke dagtripjes gemaakt [Dierenrijk

En alsof ik dan nog niet genoeg met Harry Potter & Co bezig ben de laatste tijd krijg ik vandaag ook nog eens hypotheekaanvragen onder m'n neus van cliënten Potter en cliënt Sneep.......Mijn vakantie is inmiddels officieel bijna 2 uur onderweg! Waaaah, ik ben er zó aan toe! Even lekker een ruime week relaxen en doen waar ik zin in heb. Ik ga zodadelijk eerst een paar daagjes naar mijn ouders toe

Het onderstaande komt uit een recente Web chat die J.K. Rowling had op Bloomsbury.com nadat Deahly Hallows was uitgekomen. Fans konden hun vragen insturen, waarvan JK er een aantal behandelde. Ik heb de interessantste stukken eruit gehaald, want ik vermoed dat bijna niemand dit gelezen heeft. Absoluut de moeite waard om even te lezen! Jullie gedachtes hierover?

De afgelopen week is een week geweest met veel ups en downs. Dinsdag ben ik met m'n fiets gevallen omdat een of andere slimbo besloot zonder te kijken het fietspad op te stormen. Ik kon nog net m'n val een beetje breken en daardoor waren mijn kleren en fiets gelukkig nog heel. De blauwe plekken die ik al bijna een week voel zijn de afgelopen paar dagen pas daadwerkelijk verschenen op m'n benen,

Op een gegeven moment in HP7 was ik even bang dat ze hem uiteindelijk toch 'slecht' zou laten zijn. Maar alle 'Snape=good'-aanhangers bleken dus al die

Ik heb 'm uit! :)Ik zal hier overigens geen duidelijke spoilers inzetten, dus als je Deathly Hollows nog niet uit hebt kun je gewoon doorlezen. Later -wanneer ik er wat langer over heb kunnen nadenken- volgt wellicht nog een post mét spoilers. Even wat losse dingen die me nu - 15 minuten nadat ik het boek uitgelezen heb - te binnen schieten.1. Ik had al die tijd dus gelijk, want het is zowel wat

Komende zaterdag sta ik om 08.30 uur stipt te wachten op de postbode die een héél belangrijk pakje van Bol.com komt leveren. Zodra dit pakje gearriveerd is ben ik niet meer beschikbaar voor wie of wat dan ook. Al vergaat de wereld, het doet er allemaal niet toe! Dit gaat voor! Maar dat kunnen jullie vast wel begrijpen...Zolang de wereld natuurlijk niet vergaat vóórdat ik het boek uit heb

Net als de rest van Nederland ben ook ik naar Harry Potter 5 geweest. Gisteren om 18.00 in de Pathé te Eindhoven met Karolina en Fiona. Het was echt lang geleden dat ik in een bioscoopzaal heb gezeten die zo goed vol zat, dus ik denk dat de bioscopen goede zaken doen met deze film.Ik heb eigenlijk best zitten genieten en heb ook enorm veel gelachen. Ik blijf erbij dat ze steeds beter worden. En

Waaaaaaaaaah! Welle: Erdball treedt vrijdag 23 november op in de Effenaar! Ik heb ze vorig jaar op Summer Darkness gezien en dat optreden was helemaal geweldig. Ze waren voor mij het absolute hoogtepunt van het hele festival. Dat móet ik gewoon nog een keer meemaken. Nizza gaat in ieder geval mee, dus dat wordt feesten!

Natuurlijk had ik eigenlijk van te voren kunnen bedenken dat net die ene keer dat mijn broer hier blijft overnachten mijn gestoorde bovenburen weer voor het eerst in weken van zich zouden laten horen. *zucht* Gelukkig zijn het huurders en kan ik dus de hoop koesteren dat ze nog ooit op gaan rotten.

Alsof twee renteverhogingen (en als gevolg daarvan gigantische drukte) kort achter elkaar nog niet genoeg waren gaat de hypotheekrente morgen gewoon wéér omhoog! En net als bij de vorige vier verhogingen vallen ook dit keer mijn vrije dagen weer precies samen met die renteverhoging. Mijn baas zei al tegen me dat ik de komende maand absoluut geen vrij meer mocht pakken, omdat hij dan tenminste

Zoals de titel al zegt is mijn weekend niet bepaald spannend geweest. Ik heb namelijk het hele weekend gestudeerd en geoefend voor mijn examen Woningfinanciering 1 van vanmorgen. Dus helaas heb ik geen interessante verhalen over de leuke dingen die ik gedaan heb en helaas had ik ook geen tijd voor mijn vriendinnetjes. Maar jullie kunnen vast wel begrijpen dat wanneer het 130 euro kost om examen

Ik weet niet of ik het hier ooit verteld heb, maar onze hond Kunta (ik zeg nog altijd "onze", want ook al ben ik verhuisd, het is nog altijd voor een deel mijn hond) is vorig jaar een hele tijd op sterven na dood geweest. Hij at altijd al niet goed en soms gewoon helemaal niet, zijn ontlasting was niet goed, hij was lusteloos en hij had terugvallen waarin hij dagen niets anders deed dan overgeven

Blijkbaar is er iets mis met mijn comment-ding, want ik heb al van twee mensen te horen gekregen dat ze geen comments kunnen plaatsen. Maar ik snap werkelijk niet waar het aan ligt.

Waarschijlijk niet en daarom wilde ik jullie deze twee onderstaande comic relief filmpjes van Red Nose Day 2007 niet onthouden. (YouTube is geweldig! Daar kun je werkelijk álles op terugvinden!)

Wat kan een maand toch snel voorbij vliegen! Wat me de afgelopen maand vooral is bijgebleven zijn de leuke dingen die ik gedaan heb. Die wil ik jullie natuurlijk niet onthouden. :)Ten eerste ben ik samen met Karolina naar Pan's Labyrinth geweest in de Plaza Futura. Werkelijk een prachtige film en een absolute aanrader! Het is eigenlijk een beetje een triest verhaal, maar tegelijkertijd sijpelt de

Follow up on this and this post. I think this verdict shows that the judge took this entire case very seriously. I also think we could all see coming that he would be considered less accountable for his actions. But at least the guy who did it will have some time in jail to think about his actions and hopefullly he'll come to the conclusion that he could use some help. It's finally all over and

I just love going for walks in the forest with this kind of weather or simply sitting outside reading. Simple stuff, but very good none the less.

Remember this ?Well, the article below is wat followed in Thursday's newspaper, the Eindhovens Dagblad. I thought I was entirely over it, but when I read this article it took me back to those couple of days in which I felt utterly miserable, scared and was in a constant state of fear. I hope never to have to feel that way again. I was at the stated victim's night and met the families involved.

It's been a fun week so far, just being able to do whatever you like whenever you like. The housekeeping isn't as annoying as I thought it would be. I don't really mind doing it, because you know what you're doing it for. I mean, washing,

I never imagined putting together Ikea stuff was going to be such a time consuming job. And besides that I (and my mother) just don't have the guts to put something together, because we're afraid we'll do it wrong. It doens't always really fit, so than you have to be bold and simply put that nail or screw in with force, but we're simply too afraid we'll destroy everything. Thankfully I've been

As there have already been three people who have asked me about my new address because they want to send me a Christmas card I've decided to simply post my new address here, so anyone who wants to know can write it down. Don't feel obliged to send me a card! Although, I do like receiving cards of course... ;) So... here it comes. My new address, officially mine from the 15th of December:

Am still alive. Am still really busy. Have a million things going through my mind to write and tell you about, but don’t seem to be able to put those thoughts into actual posts. Am dead tired and hyper at the same time. Am both scared and excited about moving out. Can’t wait to talk to two of my best friends again when they finally return from abroad. Am looking forward to seeing my brother again

From experience I already knew that busses can drive around with maniac bus drivers behind the wheel and can even drive on when one side of the bus has just been smashed into a traffic sign, destroying a large window which is continuing to crumble down further while driving onward, but apparently busses aren’t able to drive on if the doors of the bus aren’t closed. The bus can't drive away if

My acquisitions at last weekend’s book fair at the Beursgebouw in Eindhoven for a total of € 30,60 for 8 books. Wieeeeh, I’m very pleased! :)- Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman [HC](Woehoe! The gorgeous black hardcover version! Wieeee! Too bad American Gods was only available in Dutch…)- Pillars of Creations by Terry Goodkind [HC](The hardcover version for € 2,50 … That’s not normal anymore, now is it?)

Look what my brother send me from Aberdeen, Scotland! Thoughtful, right?! :)It's funny, but ever since my brother left for Aberdeen our relationship has only gotten better and better. Logical in a sense, because we're not in each other's face all the time anymore. I hope and think that once I've moved out my relationship with both my brother and my parents will only get better. We won't have to

Pffff, it’s amazing how much there’s to do, arrange and buy when you’re going to move out and buy your own apartment. Thank God I have a week off next week to arrange and buy as much as possible upfront.If you have any tips or suggestions about anything; from interior decoration to the daily purchases to cooking for one person to insurances to economical living, please let me know.

So, yesterday I bought an apartment in Eindhoven. Well, the purchase agreement still has to be signed and the mortgage has to be arranged, but besides that we’ve come to an agreement. If everything goes according to plan the apartment will be mine on the 15th of December.It’s not a large apartment (60 m2, two rooms, one bedroom, but with an extra in-house storage compartment/room), as I’m only

One of the very first promotional pictures from the upcoming Harry Potter movie, The Order of the Phoenix. I thought I'd share this one with you, as you might not yet have seen it. The blond girl on the right is Luna. I like her. She’s has this weird sort of look about her that I imagined Luna would have. They're all looking rather serious, aren't they? ;) I think it's looking very promising,

So…. Finally, the explanation. I will try to explain everything as best as possible. In short, what happened was that someone was sending extortion letters to families in Bladel and surrounding villages in which he/she threatened to hurt/kidnap their children or burn down their houses if they did not pay him money. He stated in the letters that they had to transfer money to… my account number, my

Just a quick update to let you know there have been some major developments since my last post. It’s all over and done with. Entirely, because they have someone in custody who has confessed ánd five different families who have made declarations against him at the police. I’ve been able to leave it behind and move on, so I’m totally okay again. I’ll explain everything more extensive in a later

I’ve been through something very dreadful this week that has had quite an impact on me. I will not go into it, because I can’t (at least not yet), even though I really wish I could. It’s made me realize there are people out there who don’t have my best interest at heart and are out to hurt me.But thankfully there are also people out there who are willing to support me.

This is a picture taken of me at Summer Darkness. Of course, the only time a photographer wants to take a picture during the entire festival is on the very last day when I'm without eye-make up, with pimples and am totally exhausted... *sigh*Don't get me wrong. I like the picture! It's totally me. It's just that I looked better during the other days of the festival...

Sunday morning my aunt died at the age of 60 of bowl cancer. She had been ill for about 2,5 years. My family isn’t close to her family anymore, but it still affects you and it doesn’t change the sadness of it all. I've shed my tears. Especially since we used to be very close up until about 10 years ago. But, people change, arguments arise and people grow apart…Seeing how some of my aunt’s family

We've only just left Summer Darkness behind us [We had a wonderfull time. We met some new and interesting people, danced (a lot) and watched a lot of monkeys.], but I'm already looking forward to the upcoming parties. First of all, Baroeg Open Air on the 2nd of September. We aren't going to let a free performance by Suicide Commando and an afterparty untill 4 in the morning with decent DJ's pass

This week I went to Essen (Germany) with some of my friends to shop at the Dark Ages shop there for the Summer Darkness Festival. I bought some really nice 20 hole boots that normally go for over one hundred euro's, but they were only 50 euro now. I also bought a nice top which I can wear on all my black skirts. All in all, it was a great day, besides the fact that we had a maniac for a driver

This/last weekend both my parents and my brother were away so I had the entire house for myself. Well, technically I wasn’t entirely alone. I did have to take care of our dog Kunta. Take him out for a walk three times a day, feed him, play with him, etcetera. But besides that I could do whatever I wanted! It’s amazing how much you can do in one day and one weekend when you don’t have to take

Last Sunday we (Hidden Treasures) had half a booth at the Summermarket in Bladel. In advance we had some hope we would sell well, because about 15.000 people visit the market every year. While setting up our booth we already knew it wasn’t going to happen. We had the very first booth, directly at the entrance because that’s where the VMB is located, the store we shared our booth with. Our booth

At work we’re currently going through a reorganisation. Because of this we all had to fill in a form a little while ago about which jobs we would be interested in. A lot of jobs are moving from Eindhoven to other cities in the south, so there were a lot of people who showed their interest in the job I currently hold, because they didn’t want to go and work somewhere else. We were told before hand

Thank you again for all your wise words. It’s always useful to hear from people on the outside what they think about a certain situation you’re in. You’ve certainly made some points I’ll have to think about. I’ll keep you updated if there are any developments.For the first time since last October I have an entire week off from work. It’s supposed to be my holiday, but I’ve got more than enough to

Last Saturday my mother actually thanked me after I had vacuumed, cleaned out the dishwasher and did some more household stuff. And Last Sunday she said: “Now that your brother is going abroad until June 2007, don’t you think it would be a good idea if you stayed at home until then, as you’ll be the only child during that time?”It’s up and down with her. I simply can’t get my head around it…

Thank you for all your kind comments. I told my mother yesterday that I was really hurt by what she said last Sunday and that I still wasn't over it. Then she said she wasn't over it either, which is a comment I still don't comprehend... What came up was that apparently she hadn't even noticed all the work I had done in the bathroom last Saturday. So, she didn't go into last Sunday's rant knowing

Yesterday, I was sitting behind the computer when my mother out of the blue came at me with the following. “From this month on your board (kostgeld) is doubled. You may be able to earn some back by doing stuff in the household. If that doesn’t work I’m going to give you two months to find somewhere else to live.” I was dumbstruck. On the outside I remained composed and I didn’t say anything, but

As you might have noticed I've changed the haloscan comments to blogger comments, as I'd heard from two different people that the comments weren't working properly on their computer. So, that's why all the previous comments are gone.Last Monday the summer holiday bus timetable started and it's an absolute hell! In the morning it's not much of a problem, but when I have to go home between 16.30

During this last week I’ve been watching the 2004 BBC miniseries North & South on television. So called custome drama’s made by the BBC are always of a high quality, but this series is absolutely exquisite. You all know I’m a huge fan of the Pride & Prejudice miniseries, but I must honestly say North & South is even better. Like P&P, North & South is also a book adaptation; from writer Elizabeth

You know, I really hate being sick. Last Thursday at work there must have been a dozen moments during which I thought I should go home, because I felt really ill. Somehow I made it through the day, but I did stay home on Friday. I had hoped that three days of rest would be enough, so I could go back to work today, but as it seems now I'm not going to be able to go back to work before Wednesday,

I just wanted to show you something that's important to me.I thought of a lot of possible titles for this post:"The difference a year of hard work can bring.""Anyone who can't see it must be blind.""Before and after.""Minus 18 kilo."In the end I chose the current title, because it says enough.

I just have to show you our latest soaping creation. This soap is coloured with cinnamon and smells of vanilla and cinnamon. We're extremely happy with the way this soap turned out. It doesn't only look like a cup cake and totally edible, it smells incredibly good too. I'm really happy with the pictures I took, because I feel the soap comes across really well in these pictures.

What I've forgotten to tell you before is that our computer is finally back and fixed, with a new motherboard and a new harddisk. That would be a reason to celebrate if it wasn't for the fact that our entire collection of music, movies and saved games is gone... Our motherboard broke down just afer our 'My Documents' were transferred to another computer. The harddisk still contains all the files,

The other day I was having dinner with my family and I asked them about their experiences with our Hidden Treasures soap, because we are always interested in what people think of our products. My mother said that one of the soaps didn't foam that well, so she suggested we change the ingredients a bit. Than my father said he very much liked the new soap in the shower because it foamed really

As you can see I've been playing around with my template. Quite a difference with the last template, isn't it? I thought it was time for a change and a bit of colour. I've been working on the template the entire day and even though it's not exactly what I was hoping for it turned out clean, simple and purple. Just the way I like it!

I have a surprise for you. Read closely. Very closely………From today on I am a licensed driver. Read that last line again if you have to, because you read correctly. This morning I obtained my driving-license! After 34 lessons and zero faults in my theoretical exam I managed to complete my practical exam in a positive way the very first time!And you didn’t even know I was taking lessons, now did

1. Last week one of the accountmanagers at work came up to me and gave me two free tickets to the International Gipsy Festival in Tilburg with the remark that she thought I would perhaps like to go. I remembered how Nizza had told me about the festival in the past, so I was very pleased with the tickets. I checked out the website and saw they normally cost 17,50 euro a piece, which made me even

My best friend, who always said everything concerning Harry Potter was stupid (except perhaps Alan Rickman and Gary Oldman) and hereby more or less implied everyone who read Harry Potter (including me) was kind of stupid and she herself would never read the books, has just finished all the six books in record time and is currently just as HP obsessed as I am. It’s great! I finally have someone

So... our computer still isn't repaired and back, but at least we finally received a spare computer for the time being. My life has been moving along nicely since you heard from me last. Everything is okay at work and at home and I've been really busy with preparations for the Crafty Markt of last Saturday. Overall I feel better than I ever have, even though I still have my occasional down

Just a very quick note from work that our computer at home broke down over three weeks ago, so I'm not able to update, surf the internet or read your blogs. I'm praying our computer will be fixed and back this weekend, but I really don't know when it'll be back. Special note to Bart: I really want to answer your mail, but at work I just don't have the time to make a decent reply. Once our

I must confess I’ve been neglecting my own blog and all of your blogs lately. It’s just that if you have to sit and work behind the computer 8 hours a day, 5 days a week you don’t exactly feel like sitting behind the bloody thing even more during the evenings or the weekends. Besides I’ve had the flu about two-and-a-half weeks ago -like the rest of the Netherlands it seems- and have only fully

The current situation about the Danish “cartoons” is really worrying me. A lot of people in the West seem to think the Muslims that have been demonstrating and protesting are overreacting. They don’t understand why the Muslims are making such a big fuss. Let me try to explain it to you. Hello! We’ve just gravely insulted Mohammed and with that every single Muslim on this planet! They have had to

Why do I always have to ride the same bus as the joint smoking, openly discriminating “gabbers” who are talking as loudly as possible (god forbid the entire bus couldn’t hear their incredibly though stories!) about when they were last arrested and who play their music louder than I thought possible on a MP3-player? Why do I always have to sit near the nauseatingly smelling girl whose perfume

Finally, an update! First of all, I know it's a bit late, but that doesn't mean the following isn't well meant. I'd like to wish you all a very hapy new year. I hope 2006 will bring you whatever you're dreaming off or hoping for. All the best!Last week I took three well-deserved days off from work. My parents had made a reservation for a bungalow in a holiday resort in Vaals for the entire week,

I know I’m being a total copycat with this, but I really like this one. These are the first lines of ten of my current favourite songs. I wonder if you can guess some of them without googling. They are all from different bands, so give it a go! They are not the best known songs and bands but perhaps you'll surprise me. I'll put the bands and songs up in a couple of days.Edit: I've decided to put

The other day Jan-Willem, the father of a friend of my brother, came round to take a look at our dog, as he (Jan-Willem, not the dog) is a veterinarian. Afterwards, he asked my brother whether I had lost weight, because he didn't recognize me anymore. It was over a year ago since we last saw each other, so he wasn't sure I was Hilde or not, because I was so different. It's always the people who

Last week I was told I could probably stay on for the first quarter of 2006 at the ABN AMRO. They can't promise me anything, so there's no absolute guarantee about how long I'll be able to keep working there. We'll just have to wait and see. I was told they're very pleased with me because I pick things up very quickly and am not afraid to work hard. Two things not a lot of young people have

Last Friday I went to the Distorted Party at the Waterfront in Rotterdam where Combichrist and Embolus were performing. As Combichrist is one of my favorite bands and their only performance in the Netherlands was in Rotterdam, I simply had to go. Nizza and myself stayed over at Tim's place and we had a great time. We danced and danced and even danced some more. My feet were absolutely killing me

You’re probably all wondering whether I’ve died or something, because I haven’t updated in ages. Well, I’m still alive! Very much alive as a matter of fact, but also extremely busy. I’ve been working at the ABN AMRO for two weeks now and I must say I like my job and the people I’m working with. My co-workers are extremely nice and very open towards each other. I’ve worked at another bank in the

I have a job. It’s a temporary job and it’s not entirely what I was looking for, but I actually have a job! I start working at the ABN AMRO in Eindhoven this Wednesday and I’ll be able to work there until at least the end of this year, but probably some more months after that. I’ll be an administrative worker with a supporting function in which I will be assisting mortgage specialist. It’s a good

So.... tomorrow I'll be graduating. As of tomorrow I'll be known as doctorandus Hilde de Bresser. It's all still a bit surreal to me. I’ve actually done it. I’ve completed my studies. What a weird feeling...Of course, I’m very pleased with myself. Not everyone completes their academic studies in little over 4 years. It’s just peculiar that after 8 years at elementary school, 6 years at secondary

I've bought myself some new shoes. They were rather expensive, but I've been looking for boots that I like, fit comfortably and I can actually walk on for years. I've always wanted to wear boots, so I would look a bit taller, but I was never able to find something I liked ánd could walk on. I've finally found them! I love my new shoes! And that's coming from someone who normally isn't really into

A quick update concerning the last week-and-a-half. First of all, I went to my third Skwuig-meet, namely the Train-meet. It was great to meet all these new people and see the faces and get to know the people behind the avatars, nicknames and blogs. I didn’t get to talk to everybody of course, but I got to know some really nice people! The two pics below are taken by Tim. He was sitting with us

Last week I borrowed Joris's digital camera again and decided to take some pictures of our dog, because the battery wasn't entirely dead yet. You can click on the pics to see a larger version. Isn't he a beautiful photographic model? He is such a cute, sweet and loving dog! He wants to play with every person and every dog he meets and can't understand why someone wouldn't want to play with him.

Last Wednesday I went to see my professor about my final thesis and guess what? He has approved my thesis! I still have to change some very small details, but it’s finally over. I’m so happy! My graduation is set on the 4th of November from 14.00 till 15.00. I’ll have to do a presentation of 10 minutes and after that the two people in my exam-committee will question me for 30 to 40 minutes. I’m

It’s good to read you’re all anxious to know how it went. :) I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. It went great! We sold a lot more than we had anticipated in advance. We actually sold so much (184 euro to be precise) that we are finally making a bit of profit! Of course, we have to reinvest that profit to make new products, but we’re finally getting there! A lot of people took our visiting

Just a quick post to let you all know I’m still alive, somewhere, somehow… The last week-and-a-half has been extremely stressful. I’ve been working on my final essay during the day and working on stuff for the Crafty Markt after dinner until midnight. I’ll be extremely happy and relieved once it’s Sunday evening. The Crafty Markt and all related stressfulness will be behind us and I’ll have

I’ve finally reached my final goal, concerning my weight challenge. I’ve been weighing below 65 kilo for over a month no and I’m going to do everything in my power to keep it that way. I’m actually still losing small amounts of weight every week, so perhaps I’ll even reach 60 kilo at some point. According to my BodyMassIndex I should weigh below 65,5 kilo to have a healthy weight and that’s why I

Thank you all for your sweet comments, pm’s and e-cards! I really had a good time yesterday, while I normally don’t really enjoy my birthday. I don’t know what it was, perhaps the wonderful weather, but I got up early in the morning feeling happy and the feeling lasted the entire day.

I feel like total crap today. My Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) (in Dutch: Prikkelbare Darm Syndroom / PDS) has been playing up again during the last two weeks and in combination with having to get up at 6 o’clock in the morning today, and not having slept enough hours, I feel sick, nauseous and miserable. I would like to crawl into bed and not come out again before tomorrow morning, but one of

Two days ago I was stung by some mosquito who thought I was perfect meat with perfect blood. Today my leg contains two huge, red, swollen round areas which are about 10 centimetres wide each. I’m just about going insane from the itching sensation that’s coming from them and they actually hurt quite a bit. I’ve had this almost allergic reaction to mosquito bites as long as I can remember, from

The latest news on my study: the final grade for my third year thesis was a 7.5 which I’m very pleased with. I’m taking it as a good sign for my final thesis and my graduation, which is getting awfully close. This next week I’ll be extremely busy with finishing the last chapters so I can send them to the professor before our meeting on the 14th. Besides working on my thesis I’m also very busy

As certain people had already noticed, Mr. Darcy is currently occupying a space on the right side of your screen. There actually is a reason why I put him there, besides the fact that I totally adore him. *sigh* As you might have heard or read there’s a new Pride & Prejudice movie coming out with new actors playing those wonderful Jane Austen-characters. After watching the trailer, which you can
