Happy Queensday !!!
First of all, I wish you all Happy Queensday !!! (?) Instead of going to the city, check out the little markets or even go party in Amsterdam I decided to stay at home. Yesterday I returned from Amsterdam visiting Klaas and I needed some extra time to refuel. He’s going to Spain for a studytrip at the end of next week, I didn’t want to bother him in the few days he had left before going on the trip. So we decided to meet up thursday evening
Although we planned on meeting up, I wasn’t sure if I still wanted to. I already spend several days in my hometown, relaxing, planning my further school carreer and getting hooked on Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix. I never knew streetracing could be so much fun! Thanks oniichan ♥ My big brother was so proud I won 2 cars, 1 motorbike, loads of money and pimped my hot Mitsubishi Eclipse - in the end he wanted to copy my savefile because I won cars he hadn’t won
So I called Klaas and asked if he also wanted to go shopping in Amsterdam, to add more fun to our ‘date’. But he told me he wanted to clean his room while wearing his bathrobe and do the laundry. He didn’t feel like shopping, not that he hates shopping or well maybe just that day.
Blegh, I wanted to have fun before he went to Spain and I didn’t plan hanging around with a guy wearing his bathrobe and spend the evening totally bored!

Klaas apologized, his remark about hanging around in his bathrobe wasn’t really fun for someone who wanted to come and visit him. He promised he was going to cook and I decided to make the 2 hours train ride from my hometown to Amsterdam. When I arrived Klaas already did the grocery shopping. He bought some juice specially for me (he only drinks water, coffee and wine), some fruit yoghurt as dessert and breakfast and oohhh; butterscotch chocolate
How can it be guys can act like total meanies and still pull off sweet tricks like buying your favorite yummie stuff?!! Klaas also bought some ready made lasagna, but that was truly aweful! Italian food isn’t fit to be bought ready made so I didn’t eat much. Klaas looked at me worriedly and asked if I ate enough. I told him I was fine and that we already had some bites of the chocolate so… He wasn’t pleased with my answer and send me to the kitchen to get the fruit yoghurt and eat a bowl.
After dinner we watched Legally Blonde, although I have seen it like three times (and yes even once with german dubs) I still like it. We also thought about going to the theaters for a movie, but it was already late so we decided to stay in. The next day we went for a quick brunch at Café Katoen. A very cozy and popular place. All seats were taken so we ended up sitting at the bar, but they sure had the best hot chocolate I had since a long time. ♥
When I’m a student at UvA I hope to discover more fun places in Amsterdam. I noticed Klaas knows only a few spots so I bought a little TrendGuide some time ago with all the fun places in Amsterdam! I really should visit Melly’s Cookiebar soon, it’s soooo damn KAWAIIIIII !!! Oh reminds me, I have to ask Klaas to bring home some nice Doña Jimena chocolates (?) from his trip to Spain *tee-hee*

Indulgence
Although I really should save my money for my upcoming vacation to Portugal, I just couldn’t resist buying the following stuff
Fashion Mag Scans
To celebrate the new (fashionable) layout I’ve decided to open up a new subsection in the Visitor section. Next to the wacky challenges you can also find scans of various fashion mags. More scans will be added over time, but be sure to check out the lovely CanCam fashion today!
To save bandwidth all scans are 140x190 pixels, that way you’ll be able to view the cute clothes. And I don’t have to worry about people stealing any scans. If you want a full sized scan feel free to contact me and I’ll send you the original scan by mail ♥ Please do not directlink nor redistribute any of the scans.
If you’re unsure about the new navigation, just hover over the trees, girl and the airplane.
Ladybug, where art thou ?

I was browsing through my backup cd’s and I found some old digital camera pics. These pictures were taken on January 18th, winter here in The Netherlands. It was really cold and I remembered how suprised I was finding a little ladybug sitting on a small buxus tree in our garden. I used to find loads of ladybugs during spring and especially summer when I was a kid, I sure didn’t expect to find one during winter! Haha, it’s not that I collect lucky charms or something. But some people do consider Ladybugs a sign of goodluck! Finding one during the winter did made me feel kinda lucky
Ladybugs or Coccinellidae are found worldwide and there are over 4,500 different species! The seven-spot ladybird or Coccinella septempunctata is the commonest ladybug in Europe. Ladybugs are helpful insects because they love to eat aphids (plantlice) which damage plants. The ladybug is the symbol of the Dutch Foundation Against Senseless Violence. But did you also know ladybugs copulate for up to nine hours at a time, and males may have three 90-minute orgasms in one session! Oh my - I sure didn’t know THAT
If you want to know more about ladybugs, be sure to visit Wikipedia or Ladybug Lore, where you can find some interesting myths and learn how to say “ladybug” around the world
Oh well, interesting little insects - ladybugs…
