Choco to ka Cookie to ka ?
/(^ x ^)\ : クラスくん誕生日をおめでとうございます。今日、あなたは２１才ですよ。♥ Haha, happy birthday Klaas-kun - today you’re 21 years old !!!
Tuesday I finally got my hands on the Doña Jimena chocolates Klaas bought for me in Spain. Although the box says chocolates they’re more like cookies, but I sure do love ‘em 
I gave Klaas an early birthday present. Cookies in a small, but super sweet Hello Kitty paper bag and the DVD of Charlie and the Chocolatefactory (?). We’re both fan of Johnny Depp and we loved the movie when we saw it in the theatre together. He liked the cookies and of course loved getting another Johnny Depp movie on DVD.
Instead of staying home Klaas really wanted to take me to a Jazz session at Het Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ in Amsterdam. Every tuesday night there’s a special jazz evening with talented artists and there’s no entrance fee! We got there a little late so we could only enjoy 1 hour of music and chitchat with friends of Klaas who also decided to go. I always go a little quiet around people I don’t know. I started to wonder if my shy nature could also be mistaken with arrogance and indifference. But Klaas told me he didn’t think so. Oh well, I think I’ll try to relax some more when I’m around people I don’t know, maybe it will help me to open up.
I really liked going out instead of staying at Klaas’ room that night. But I had been busy all day and next to breakfast I didn’t have a proper meal. So when we got back at Klaas’ place around 1:00 am I really didn’t feel well. Klaas still had a pizza and after we warmed it up I felt sooo much better. Klaas lives in a student appartment complex and he has to share a kitchen. It’s defenitely not the cleanest place I’ve seen and when we entered the kitchen that night I saw 2 mice running over the kitchen counter top and 1 running over the floor !!! 
I’m glad Klaas is moving out in the summervacation *gulp* / Haha, during summervacation I probably won’t be coming around much, so…
Today Klaas was in our hometown to celebrate his birthday at home. I was also invited to come round his parents’ place for some tea and sweets ♥ I brought along an extra present, a book written by Arnon Grunberg. I’m such a big fan of the special AKO literature price series I decided to buy me a book too. I’ve already read The Friendship, but I so loved it and I just wanted to own a copy too. About buying books__ I love Ouran High School Host Club so much I’ve also decided to read the manga and ordered the first two volumes through Bol.com 
I defenitely enjoyed spending time with Klaas. He gave me a special flyer of a college event at the University of Amsterdam, he modelled for it 
He kinda looks scary, but it sure is cool to have his face plastered all over university! Haha I asked if he could also sign it, you never know he might become famous someday 
The paper thing went ok, I handed it in and asked if I could work on it some more because I wasn’t happy with it. The professor gave me some pointers and the new deadline is tomorrow 
先生どうもうありがとうございます。

mmmmmmmm, looks SO good~ *is sittin’ starved for sugar in the early moring @ work*
OMG JAZZ!!! OOOOOOO, so lucky (o___o). I adore listening to live jazz while enjoying food&drink.
I’m a little quiet too. I have to try SO hard to chit chat. As for people taking it the wrong way, I think it depends on body language you give off while being quiet. A friend once told me she thought I was a “stuck-up bitch” beforehand because I wouldn’t talk to anyone, then she realized I was just shy =__=. I’m sure that little story didn’t help you much, gomen!

That sounds fun! I bet he really had a fun birthday, sounds like you had lots of fun too! I wish I had chocolate my dad eats everything chocolate that comes through our doors. Oh well!

Everytime I come to read your blog, I find myself getting hungry. You always have pictures of yummy munchies and are always writing about yummy things. Haha… Anyways, it sounds like you had a really fun time celebrating Klaas’ birthday. I’m sure he had a blast spending it with you.
I always get quiet around people I don’t know as well. I’m a very shy person, and I don’t like talking to people who I don’t knew very well. I always worry if I come off as stuck up and.or arrogant too.
I’m glad you decided to get the OHSHC manga. I have volumes 1-5. Its really hilarious. I always find myself laughing my butt off. People around me are alway looking at me like: O.o But oh well.

MMM… Chocolate, this layout is so yummy, well done.
“Cookies in a small, but super sweet Hello Kitty paper bag and the DVD of Charlie and the Chocolatefactory ” - sounds like the perfect birthday present.

Aww chocolates are always great :). I didn’t really like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I have no clue why I just couldn’t get into it I guess but Johnny Depp is really good actor tho and I do like his movies. That’s good that your friend is moving out I would have screamed and like ran out if I seen mice but that’s just me hehe.
