My BFF (Best friend forever) is turning 30 tomorrow and I forgot to send the birthday card with my 2 messengers... So it will have to be a video card this time.

hope for revival - in a bottle

The people behind Vitamin water are genious. Water + Vitamines + colour + fruit flavour + high price= good business
The water bottle s make you think you're not intaking enough vitamines and that it is the solution to all your everyday problems. "Stress and tiredness will dissappear if I drink this!"

Cold weather

Winter has come to London. It has been snowing and there is some general traffic chaos going on. It's weird to see how a country can come to a standstill for just a bit of snow... I've missed the snow so I welcome it!

Mobile blogging

D came to London this past weekend and gave me enough moral support for me to buy a brand new mobile. Not just any mobile, but a cool smartphone. That means that I am totally connected. Any time. Any place. And I like it!

Missing you

Columbia flower market

It's been a while since I last addressed this topic. But I still think about it just as much as before. I think the outside world just expects you to not express it so often now that a certain period of time has passed. I even expect that of myself. But it is still so hard. I miss dad so much. When something good happens in my life that I get very happy about, I get this feeling of sadness, that I can't share it with my dad. It puts a shadow over all good things.

Dad I miss you.

My new life

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I got a new job with a competing company. Today was my first day. It was very intense, but also very exciting. We got to learn so many things about how things are done in the new company. They are quite different from what I am used to, but not necessarily in a bad way. Most of today was dedicated to training, but we also got a few hours to get to know our new colleagues and they all seem very nice. When I say "we" I mean the other girl who will do the same thing as myself who also joined today. She is also very nice. Can't wait to see what tomorrow will be like!

The nicest thing

I had an amazing birthday party yesterday. I couldn't have wished for anything else. It was perfect: my brother and his girlfriend J, my bfriend D, my best friend M and her husband V, my closest friends in London and ex colleagues were there... It was an amazing turnout. Also, I got some incredible presents. Each and every one so thought through and great. It just goes to show how well they know me... I love them so much. 

One special gift stood out among all the amazing presents. A gift that cannot be bought with money. It was a poem from a very special person in my life. I can't even begin to describe how honoured I feel, how much it means to me and how beautiful I think it is. This is something very special that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

If this is how it feels to be thirty I have not the slightest thing against it! Bring it on!
