Waste of time?

Yesterday I was hanging ot at Willemsstraat.....to watch Felicity. It turned out to be a Felicity marathon. We started around 3 pm and we finished around 11.30 pm.
It was fun! But maybe a bit of a waste of time...:)
Oh well, what else is there to do on a sunday?

You probably know I'm looking for a place to live again. Last week I looked at a room in Amstelveen. The location was fine, but the house was kind of a mess, and the room was really small. Then at some point the girl who lives there said "sometimes I smoke pot, do you mind?" I said "I don't know". But she also had a cat. And I'm allergic. So the decision was easily made. The search continues...

Time for a little update

Hi Hi. It's been a while.
Last week I went to Germany with Marco and Magda to visit Katrin in Hannover. It was sooooo much fun! And when I was there I also got to see Philip, Karsten, Bettina and Tina! It was like a Shelter reunion. Pretty amazing!
Hannover is a very nice city. Not very touristic, but there was enough to see.
One night Katrin, Magda and I went out dancing. It was great! We had fun singing along with stupid songs, and running away from creepy guys! Ha ha ha!
I finally got to eat my favourite German food: bretzel. It's like a pretzel I guess. They weren't that easy too find, though. Apparently it's a southern German thing. Didn't know that.

It's a saturday, and I'm working. But it's okay. Not too busy.
Looking forward to church tomorrow. God is cool!

Anyway, I'll write more later. There's more stories from Germany!

MySpace

Someone posted this on my MySpace.
Unfortunately it's a complete stranger, some guy from the UK.
But it's kind off cute anyway.
Would just be nicer if it was like my boyfriend who wrote me this.
:)

You're more beautiful than a satiny pink rose,
more beautiful than a starlit sky,
more beautiful than a magenta sunset,
more beautiful than the
early morning rays of the sun,
more beautiful than a haunting romantic song.
I love nothing more than being with you.
I'd rather be with you than
do anything else in the world.
The sound of your voice soothes
something deep inside me
while at the same time,
it stirs a romantic passion
that can make me forget everything else.
Your smile makes my heart pound wildly
and my knees weak.
I love to fantasize about making love to you. (help!!!)
I can picture us entwined in a garden of pink.
I would stare into your eyes,
enthralled by all that you are...
by a beauty that's incomparable.
There's no one like you,
and you're my one and only.

Small update

Next week I'm going to Hannover with Marco and Magda to visit Katrin! FUN!
I am really lookin forward to it. I feel like I haven't been in Germany for ages. I especially look forward to shopping in a German supermarket and buying German food!
Great!
But before that, Magda is coming to Amsterdam. She's staying at my place for a couple of nights. That will be fun!
Which reminds me, I just moved to a new place again. There's an interesting story to tell about that, but that will have to wait until later.
But I'll e-mail everyone soon with my new adress and telephone number.
Man, I've been really bad with blogging lately.
Maybe I don't have a lot to say, or maybe I'm not as messed up and emotional as usual! :)
I really feel like my life is finally getting a bit more stable. I'm pretty happy with my life right now. But that doesn't mean I'm not till thinking a lot about the future.
Anyway, if I can ask you something, I would like to ask you to pray for a place to stay for me. The place I live now is again a temporary place. So please pray for something a bit more permanent. That would be great!
I have to get back to work now. Later!

Daughter Of The King

I'm having a hard time feeling truly like the daughter of the King. How does that feel? Does that mean you feel loved, secure and happy? And safe, and provided for? I feel safe, and provided for. God provides. But I'm having a hard time having a real realtionship with God. Or with Jesus. I feel like He's far away. And sometimes I think He doesn't want to come closer. But actually i think I'm too scared to let Him come closer. Cause I don't want Him to see the big mess that I sometimes feel I am.
In the Bible it says that we can boldly come before Him. But I dont think I can. But I want to.
What am I afraid off? That He will judge me? He will not. If I would be judged Jesus would have died for nothing. I'm saved. I'm not judged.
I just find it very difficult. It's a big struggle, and a learning process.
If you ask me, sometimes life could be a bit easier!

Like the new background?

Well, if you don't I don't care.

Cause I do!

:)

Laptop

Tomorrow I can pick up my beautiful Apple laptop. I'm so excited.
It means I will be blogging a lot more! FUN!

Garfield rules!

I don't like cats, but I looooovvvvvvveeee Garfield!

Update

There's not that much to tell.
I started my new job. It's nice. But a bit tiring because I still have a lot to learn.
Last sunday I worked at the Shelter Jordan. That was really cool. I still love that place!
Well, I'll write more later. I'm at work now.
I haven't got my new laptop yet. When I do, there will be more updates!

The lady of Shalott

This poem is dedicated to Laurissa, and everyone else who loves Anne of Green Gables, or Alfred Tennyson, or John William Waterhouse.

New Job!!!

Jippie!
I've got a new job!
At the World Ticket Center.
I can start the 1st of August.
I'm really happy!

Another one

So, I'm done moving. As of today I no longer live at Rozengracht. It was a really nice place, but maybe I can move back in october. That would be ccol.

I got invited for another job interview! At Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky!!!
How cool is that?

Now I wonder which of the 2 jobs I should take, if I'm so lucky that they'll both want me. But maybe one of them wants me, or none of them want me.

Anyway, I can't believe I get all these interviews. It's not like I tried very hard.

Bored

Man, I'm dying of boredom! Bad day to not bring a book to work!

Orange

Orange really isn't my color, actually.

If the Dutch team looses on sunday I can turn the background back to a nicer color again! :)

Job interview

Guess what? Next week I'm having a job interview. I did not expect that. I sent an e-mail to a travel agency about a week ago. I also applied for a job at the same travel agency in december, and I thought I wrote a great letter, but they didn't invite me for an interview. Now I wrote a simple e-mail, and they did!
The travel agency is called World Ticket Center. They sell mainly airplane tickets but also holidays. I think I would enjoy working there because the work would be more varied than just talking on the phone all day, and the working hours would be more regular, and I would have every sunday off! I do enjoy a proper weekend!
The travel agency seems very professional. And it would be cool to sell other airlines as well, and not only KLM.
So, now I have to make sure I make a great impression and look all professional and enthousiastic and all.
It'll be next thurday. Pray for me!
