Mixed Feelings
This morning I phoned Klaas to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY :twinkle: 
Thinking he was in Madrid spending time with his parents because he told me they would come and visit him. I got a somewhat sleepy Klaas on the phone saying he had to ‘tell me something’ *gulp* My heart skipped a beat ~ Because my phone bill was 4 times the normal rate last month I didn’t call him in Madrid anymore, we only mailed a little… So what could have happened - what did he have to tell me on this happy go lucky day - on his birthday?
He told me that yesterday was his grandfather’s funeral and he had thought about asking me to come to the ceremony. His grandfather had passed away on Sunday - even though he had a stroke before, it was still sudden. Klaas’ grandfather was such a friendly person. I talked to him a couple of times at those family days. When Klaas and I were still in high school and were dating he always wanted us to visit him and his wife and go to an amusement park together. Also he used to ask Klaas how I or ‘we’ were doing… 
It is sad having to miss him ~
There was something else - Klaas is in The Netherlands right now! He will stay in our hometown this weekend and return to Madrid on Monday. So we’re definitely going to meet up during the weekend 
somehow it fills my heart with so much joy and it hit me: I have missed our stupid philosophical conversations, our endless discussions about politics, joking around - him. やっぱりクラス君は私の親友です。週末に絶対会います!!! わあああい~ 嬉しいです。
On a lighter note - I had lunch with my sister at Amsterdam Zuid WTC (?) where a lot of companies are situated, e.g. headoffice of ABN-AMRO. We decided to lunch at WAGAMAMA a modern noodle restaurant. I had a great time watching all the cute guys in black suits :saylove: 
My sister always tries to spot Japanese people, but she always seems to encounter Chinese. When we went into WTC we immediately bumped into two Japanese men !!! My sister and I looked at eachother with a big grin not trying to laugh because that wouldn’t be appropriate 
hahaha~

Phew. I thought something bad was really gonna happen during that conversation. Sorry about Klaas’s grandfather. Hope everything is okay now. I know how it feels to connect with your boyfriend’s family.
I love Wagamama. If it weren’t too expensive, I would eat there everyday. I can never get sick of that place. lol.
Oh, and I love your layout!

Aww, thats so sad about his grandfather! Such terrible timing as well, right near his birthday…
You know, you talk about Second Life so much here, I decided to try it out. Gah~ I’m so addicted even now, and all I’ve been doing is modifying my appearance! I haven’t even ventured out to do anything else…

First talking about one guy, and then talking about “cute guys in black suits” in the next paragraph… what’s that all about!?

I’m sorry to hear that his grandfather passed away, my grandma passed away a few weeks ago, so I totally understand how he feels
But it’s nice you’re gonna meet up, hope you had fun!

I’m sorry to hear that his gradfather passed away. I’ve lost a grandparent and my godmother, so I know how he feels. It’s nice that you are going to get to see him though, I hope everything goes well.
I love SL, but I cannot access it when I’m at home because we have a dial-up internet connection that makes it much too slow.
I also want to say, I love your layout.
