/* So, Again, I have been lost in my own thoughts, and here's what I've come up with. At school ((which is about to start VERY soon)) Everything is just one big soap opera, An unentertaining soap opera at that. And since all summer, I've been somewhat isolated from the series, And Haven't been having withdrawls, I don't want to be in the next season. So, I've come to the conclusion, To hang back, Learn, Socialize with those who I already know, and Make no attempt to be noticed. And If this doesn't work... well... Then I guess you can consider me an actress, But I don't plan on that. I have become quite content with my newfound happyness. It's Great to feel... Great, and quite a posotive change at that. Jacob, Well, What is there to say. He's not like everyone else, He's Nice, He's cute, He's big enough to defend me, small enough to cuddle ;), What more could a girl ask for? I've got it made. Well... That's all for now, Next stop, Sleep! yay!

/* Yes, I did it, I went camping 4 times this summer ((YAY)). I went on a camping trip with Chelsea. Well, I don't really consider it camping since there were toliets and a camper, but hey, what can you do? I went Canoeing Yesterday from 1 O'clock to about 4 or 5 o'clock, It was tiering, but fun! Although, I did find out that I, Jamie, Am a very, very, VERY bad canoer ((or however the crap you spell it)) But had fun sucking. I haven't talked to Jacob for... 3 days. He's supposed to be calling me soon. I Miss him a whole bunch :(. But Man, It's great having a boyfriend... Ya'll should try it. Well, I'm sleepy and waiting for a phone call, I'll post something more longer next time ((don't make fun of my sentances;) )) Cya'll.

/* Since I had one of those normal days today, the kind where you just sit there and stare at the computer screen like it's going to do a trick, so I don't have much to write about. I asked Kelly 'what should I write about, I'm stoopid and can't think!' 'Your friends, and how wonderful they are ;) ' As Corney as this sounds, I actually think I will, just to introduce ya'll to them. Kaylee: We've been friends for 4 years. She's the girl that gets ALL the guys, and as you might guess, yes, her chesticals ((boobies)) are bigger than my head ;). Well, that, and she's nice, and purty, and outgoing. She knows Everything about me, and we've fought very few times in the last... Forever. Her mother however, is a prude. She hates me, and I can say the same as my feelings for her, she's thinks I'm some kind of whore ((how offending, eh?)) When I always thought I was a good kid compared to all those other hoebags. ;) Any ways, Kaylee's great, you get the picture. Kelly: Kelly is... Well, Kelly is alot of things. heh. She's extreamly open, and not shy about herself at all ((well, i'm sure she is a little, but she doesn't appear to be to me)). We havent been friends for very long, two years or so maybe, but that's okay. We've NEVER fought that I can remember, because she normally takes my side ((but as we all know, I'm right all the time anyways ;) )). She really Likes the guys too, and from what I've noticed, the guys like her back. She's real into church, and that's awesome, because now I have a trustworthy referance. And we always have something to talk about. She's really supportive whenever I'm feeling... depressed, and that's alot of the time. So Kelly, I love you... ((hugs)) lol. Kelsey: Kelsey and I have been friends for about, two years or so ((same as kelly)). She's definitely the HYPER one out of all of us. She's a rebal, and a christian. She has her bumpy times though, but it's always good when she's her hyper outgoing self. She's normally really sympathetic to my problems, and lot's of other people's too. Kelsey has more friends than anyone I've ever known. I can't even get along with a small group of people, let alone the whole 7th and 8th grade. But She's nice, and nice is good. ((moving on...;) )) Chelsea: Chelsea and I have been friends for, guess? Two years or so, the same as Kelly and Kelsey. She will have fun no matter where she is, be it alone, or with a group of people. She laughs at everything, funny or not, and she's very care free. She, like Kelsey, Has WAY more friends than me, she's definitely a 'People person'. But, I love her anyways. Jacob: I've Known Jacob since I was... In kindergarden. ((But obviously I know him a little more now ;) )) He's great! He's more of the guy that you couldn't picture in a relationship, and infact, I still can't But apparently it's possible. He seems kind of tough and stuff, and he is I guess, but it doesn't seem that way when your with him 'one on one'. Anyways, I love him, he's great ;) . Kyle: I know, I know, ya'll might not think the highest of Kyle after my last post, but really he is a great guy. I've Known Kyle for about a year and a half. Kyle Lives in michigan, I live in Ohio... that kinda sucks. But, I Love Kyle like he was my brother ((infact, I have a brother named Kyle, really)) and he knows compleatly EVERYTHING there is to know about me, more than the people I know in person. He's really funny, and Definitely outgoing. He's not like anyone I know, Inside, and appearance wise. I love him, we're just not as close anymore ((as you may have noticed)) but I still love him. Jami: Yes, I know, He has my name, but how cool is that? I haven't known him that long, But what I do know of him, I like. He's a big geak ;) and That's awesome, he's REALLY into RPG's and stuff, infact, I met him in an RPG chat room. He's really sweet, and a big flirt ((and I know he's reading this right now and blushing)) and he helps me out whenever I'm having problems. Rachel: Heh, Rachel is my bodygaurd woman ;) but really, she is. I've known Rachel awhile, but never really talked to her or got along with her until this past school year. She's very awesome, her and Kelsey are best friends, or it appears that way. There's not much I can say about her though... she's just.... Rachel, and a very awesome Rachel at that, lol. That's all I got for ya'll. Like I said, I don't have many friends, I'm not a people person ;). I guess this might come inhandy incase I mention someones name, now you have a little backround check on each of them. Well, cya for now.

/* A few minutes ago a friend on mine, Jami, asked me 'Who where all those poems about? Jacob?' I answerd 'No, Most of them are about Kyle actually' He said ' Wow, I wish someone cared about me that much, but hey, what can you do?' This Here Kicks my brain clock into super gear and I begin to think: Kyle really doesn't give a shit about me, does he? ((brain answers)) Apparently not, If he did, or does, he doesnt show it very well or at all, in this case. Well brain, you're right, he must not. I wonder if him haveing a girlfriend, and a Job has anything to do with this? Infact when school starts, we'll probobly only talk once a year, instead of once or twice a month. ((Kyle if you read this, i'm sorry, ish)) How can a text based person cause me this much pain and hurt? For all I know, he's a 40 year old perver stalking me. Well, I highly doubt those possibilities, being that I've talked to his girlfriend, but you get my point ((hopefully)). So, Jami, I wish someone cared for me that much too... alot. More later.. i'm out.

When I went to sleep last night, I relized you love her, When I woke up this morning, I missed you, Right now, I wonder if your leaving me? When I go to sleep tonight, I'll know, That you already have... .................. I can wait forever................. 6.12.2004 I can wait forever to hear your voice, I can wait to touch your face, I can wait for you to love me, I can wait to feel your grace, I can't wait for your attention, I can't wait for your words, We promised eachother we'd always be here, But you've gone without a word, I never saw what you saw in her, I never thought she could take you away, I never thought you'd ever leave, And now what am I to do? I've needed you here through everything, and all I need still is you, And I can't wait forever. ................I owe......... date unknown They push me down, You pull me up, So much I feel I owe to you, It's not your job to mend my wounds, But you never seemed to mind, You make me feel wanted, What if we never met? Would everything still be the same? ...............Times............ Date Unknown The Times change so fast, but here I stay stuck in the past, Trying to pull forward but I've falled so far, There's no where to turn but back, To turn around and face the truth of what evil things have taken my body, Made me who I am now, scared, lonely, and cold. .........Toll......... 4.30.04 Clense me of the lies, Clense me of the hate, Clense me of this anger, Clense me of this fate, Take away the attitude, Take away the fear, as far as I'm concerned, I shouldn't have to be here. I want to get away , The thought of you ruins me more each day, You scarred my heart, Tattered my soal, Now it's time to pay the Toll.... .............Abolish me.......... 6.28.04 My mentallity is gone, My spirit free, I've done the unthinkable, I've pulled off the trick, I never thought I would, Never thought I could, I betrayed you, Please hate me, Please hurt me, Please abolish me, Please destroy me, Please tell me you can't forgive me, I don't deserve your compassion, I don't deserve your Love, I don't deserve Justice, And I don't want it, I've done the crime, Don't give me pitty... .......Love me......... Date UnknownI love you,I miss you,I want you,I'm scared of departure,Afraid of lost fate,I don't want to mess this up,But fear it's much to late,Take me back into your arms,Back into your life,Love me now and forever,Never Leave my side,Keep your heart with me,and Love me,Miss me,Want me.Okay... That's all folks, I'm Sure you've enjoyed laughing at my crappy attempt to poetry, but hey, what can you do? ((and if all those words end up without spaces inbetween what i meant to put spaces inbetween, i'm sorry, my computer is gay and keeps messing it up :o )) well there ya are... please comment!

And Why again do I allow my dog to sleep with me? He Snores He hogs the sheets He's almost as big as me He wakes up at 6 o'clock in the morning wanting me to put him outside... when that takes a whole 5 minutes out of my sleep time. If I don't let him out ((and I normally don't)) He chews up my things... He burps He farts... Now for the reasons I let him sleep with me... He makes me feel safe. Don't we think the Bad out weighs the good on this one?¿ I thought so. ((Yawns)) Well good morning anyways ;)

Hmmm.... I'm very amused by this whole Blog thing... being that this is what... my fifth post in one day. I mean the thought that people are going to be able to possibly understand me, being that they will know my thoughts... It's a pretty cool, and somewhat scary feeling, but I guess I obviously like it. I'm Still in the process of figuring out all the stuff that I can put on here.. ((and my bright mind isn't helping me out very well, cause i'm confused as crap!)). Well, I think I'm going to get to figuring out this stuff... ya'll will definitely be hearing from me ;) cya'll

Wow, I could get used to this whole blog thing. Anyways. ((Jacob if you end up reading this, i'm embarassed 'blushes')) I, Jamie, actually have a steady boyfriend, and I like it very much so. It's weird that I can spend this much time with one person, and not be bored of them, or tierd of doing the same thing over and over again. But then again, this is where trust issues come into play. Being that I've been lied to more than my share by guys, it's hard to be comfortable 'feeling' like this and being in a relationship that's lasted this long. ((5-6 months WOW)) Infact, I'm confused to the point of a headache what I should make of this... I enjoy him, and being around him, alot, and that scares me... cause I don't want to get to attatched and then end up alone, again. But I also don't want to let go of a good thing. So Yesterday during a conversation with a stranger , ;) , I somewhat figured out my game plan... He says: So, How's life treating you? I say: Awesome, for now. And that's a change, and I'm loving it, YAY. He says: What's so wonderful? I say: A boy... But I know I'm going to end up getting my heart broken anyways, so I can't get TOO attatched. He says: Well then, if you know that, then why do you even get with him? I say: Because, It's going good for the time being, It makes me happy, It makes him happy, Happy is good no matter how long it's going to last. And happy is definitely a change for me. He says:Yeah good point. Happy is good. Considering that it's unusual. I thought that summed it up pretty good... and it makes alot of sense too... so all is good in Jamieland. And I love it...

Fotos in the past..... in Paris 2002 Been busy copying some of my scanned pics into the new laptop. (The laptop is doing GREAT *so far* by the way, no more of those scary symptoms! Uiteindelijk !) Ohh, that reminds me too, to ask Dutchman a favor to scan our other holiday fotos... Anyways, I got so hyped up seeing our Paris trip 2 years ago, Dutchman's gift to me for visiting him in NL. I knew we will be staying there for a week... but when I asked him how much my share was for the trip, he grinned and said, ' Its my gift to you baby! '. I guess that was kind of romantic at that time since I didn't get any flowers!!! You know Dutch-MEN, they fall behind the romance department but this was indeed plus points! Doncha agree? Crimee Metro Station A candid shot! Didn't expect Dutchman will flash away! I love the bright yellow color of the underground channel, kind of warm but sexy. Cafe in Montmartre Located on the same hill where Sacre Coeur church is sitting. Dutchman and I were kind of arguing if we would like to have a foto in this cafe. I insisted, hehe. So when we got the bill, we asked the waiter to do it! I think he did a fantastic job! Eiffel Tower in the Evening! See the lighted Tower on top of my head. The lights go blinking for several minutes every hour. Beautiful, it looks like an inverted Christmas tree at night! Haha! Best place to view it from afar would be in Montparnasse building. At the Train Cabin restaurant. That place was actually charming but heck, it was too small, even for me! Sacre Coeur Stairs going down to the street from the church... w/ Paris view in the background. Can you imagine going up and down with my heels!? March weather wasn't that great too, hence my umbrella! Montmartre Square with the Painters. I tell you, the painters in this square should be sent to court for harrassment! They behave in fact like glorified beggars begging to paint or make a sketch of you for a fee. I had to hide behind Dutchman's butt! ---But, I couldn't pass the opportunity not posing in the square with these talented species and their art as my backdrop!

The Gothic Cathedral The history of Utrecht began where the church stands today. At the beginning of our era, the Romans built a fort here, the remains of which still lie under the Domsquare today. The first Saint Martin’s church was built on this location in the 7th century. From Roman to Gothic The predecessor of the current church dates fromthe start of the 11th century. Some remnants of this Roman Saint Martin’s cathedral can be seen in the garden beside the Domtower. In 1253, a huge fire swept through the city and badly damaged the Roman cathedral. A new architectural style, Gothic, was chosen for rebuilding the church. Construction of this Gothic Saint Martin’s church began in 1254, when Bishop Hendrik van Vianden laid the first stone. Bit by bit, the originally Roman cathedral was replaced. urlLink The DOM in Utrecht 1254 - Bishop Hendrik van Vianden laid the first stone of the Gothic Cathedral. 1320 - Construction of the tower began. 1500 - Tower and church were connected. 1520 - Construction of the cathedral ended. 1 August 1674 - Utrecht was ravaged by a tornado. The cathedral nave collapsed. 1826 - The rubble was finally cleared away, the current Domsquare was created. 1901 to 1931 - The reception building in front of the cathedral tower was built. 2004 - The nave rises again!

Saturday is shopping day at our favorite cheap-y grocery store, urlLink Nettorama . Dutchman calls it, “ The poor people’s supermarket ”. He’s eccentric; he is fond of altering defined subjects that he fancies on. The urlLink Consumentenbond (Consumer organization) have rated them as the #1 supermarket with the cheapest prices in the whole of NL. The low-cost German urlLink ALDI and urlLink LIDL ranked next. Its just 10 minutes bike ride from where we live, which makes it very convenient for us. I kind of liked it since it gives my legs the needed exercise for the weekend. I have a fiets tas (bike bag) that hangs at the back of my bike. Sister in law gave this to me, very useful when we go shopping. WAIT...... did I just say we shop with our bikes? WHY the heck are you shocked? Hehe - I myself still can't get over the idea. It's kind of kiddy-stuff. Well that was how I see it before, I thought biking is akin to playing.... but not here in NL! If you don't have a bike , then you don’t live in NL . That simple! Later I will edit this entry and post a foto of a Dutch going shopping with this ubiquitous bike. Studies here show that a Dutch person has on average 2 bikes. The 1st bike is a “ beat down bike ”, for practical reasons against bike-napping, the country’s # 1 crime. These bikes are the ones you artfully evade when crossing the streets in the Centrum. The nice thing is... you actually hear the rickety subjects from a distance. They make their arrival known so that gives you ample time to jump to the gutter! The 2nd bike, a “ nice good priced bike ”, for personal enjoyment… and must by all means never be detached from the owner. Alright I am exaggerating! If you choose to let’s say leave it somewhere, then do NOT, I repeat do NOT forget to padlock the poor thing twice, some in fact do it thrice! Talk about being SIGURISTA! And a reminder, you are stupid if you leave it in a non-paid fietsen stallen (bike parking)! Consider yourself warned. Great, I have finished my bike rant and now I will go shopping :-) HP/Microsoft Update : The Laptop is again working OK but in a recuperating mode. I simply am puzzled in limbo, why a 'Brand New Laptop' is doing pantomime acts on me. Dutchman says it will just get worse. I trust his judgment, he is the Techie. I am already sold out to just re-install everything, start fresh, start new…. even if Dutchman is gnawed. Yes, he is totally over-harassed with this freaking machine, and it’s him who will do the dirty and tedious job of re-installation, not me. Oh well… vervelend .

Work is slow this month but I got 2 orders today from Fujitsu and Pacific Internet. The fat bitch is getting married later in the afternoon. She will be away for a month. Good riddance... at least for the time-being, hehe. On to the OGRE... I am seething in anger towards the ogre urlLink Microsoft ! My urlLink HP laptop is barely 2 weeks old and is already suffering from dementia - Memory Dump . The processor can´t stop groaning forever, all because of the pathetic Microsoft IE eating up the system. I know it´s new, so it must have the bug crunch and even if you install the software patches... these updates by the way like a neverending cycle, produces new sets of bugs! Chicken and egg situation. I really don´t know what to do. Stayed up last night till 1:30AM fixing it, well Dutchman did it for me. Dutchman can´t even view the errors! We have done the RESET countless times, still it remains the same, unyielding. When he deleted the IE in the taskbar, the system quickly went back to normal. But what is a person without the soul? The hardware is nothing if there is no software! Given the chance, I would kick Bill Gates´ass for monopolizing the desktop software consumer market. I hope tonight the laptop will do some miracles... if not, I am resigned to re-install that despicable Microsoft XP Pro ! :-(

Have you ever been to one? Yesterday Dutchman and I went to a Dutch church wedding of his aunt. The couple is in their late 50’s and have lived together for quite some time… that when they announced the wedding, everyone in the family was surprised! The Netherlands is… how I describe as “A Matured Liberal but Socialist Country ”. Partnership relationships have become a trend in the 20th century offering the same semblance and privileges as any marriage bonded. In fact if you ask a Dutch if he/she would like to marry? The answer would be: ” MARRY? Why? * eyebrows raised * That’s just expenses ”! For a Dutch, there is plainly NO distinction between being married and living together. We arrived at St. Nikolas Kerk (St. Nicholas Church) in Jutphaas , Nieuwegein slightly before 2PM and a sizable crowd was already gathered outside. The usual 3 kisses went flying in the air and embarrassing enough, some I have no clue who I kissed! What to do? Dutchman has so many relatives! The whole church wedding came as a Seal of Revelation to me. There was NO wedding march song. NO red carpet in the isle. NO flowers. The beautiful antiquated church stood there void of any embellishment, of any hint of marital binding. The bride was dressed in an untraditional garb, NO wedding dress but a white pant suit! NO entourage and if I may explain that… that means literally as NO bridesmaids, NO groomsmen, NO maid of honor, NO ring bearer, NO flower girls. Yes NO flashy train following the couple around! The groom was NOT waiting in the altar but instead the couple together with the priest went down the isle to the altar. Interesting huh? The homily went on to focus of their past lives, both having met in a support group for having lost a loved one. One can only imagine from afar how loss can metamorphose into gain . In their case, it did. Cocktails followed in an English Pub in Vreeswijk – a striking town in the south of Nieuwegein full of these undersized charismatic draw-up Dutch bridges. Dutchman and I have been here in the past, bicycling through. I had white wine, peanuts and some sort of Italian biscuits with herbs and cheese. And that was it! The dinner, which in other cultures is fondly called as Reception – this is actually your chance to feed your guests, was helaas only for a selected group. The bad news, we are not part of that group, jammer hahaha! The invited elite are only the direct family members, and since Dutchman is a nephew - 2nd generation, so is he disqualified. I would even bet my € 100 if there was a wedding cake that evening! How is that for a Dutch wedding? Quite practical (!), isn’t it?! Yes, Dutch culture at it’s finest!

' Mondays ' they say is the least exciting day of the week, perhaps the angels above were napping because hallelujiah today is absolutely an exceptional Monday! My superior, the Sales Director gave me the go signal (approved by upper management) for our Philippines business trip! So the next days, in fact the whole week, I will be religiously devoting my time in refining our trip agenda. I desperately need to concretize my ROI justifications - yup per client with at least a 6 month to 1 year forecasted plan on total sales and profit. Am pretty sure, like in most corporate reality drama - these wolves will run after you, in this case ME . They will be behind my back at all times after having invested much (*eybrows raised*) just like a crazed wolf stealthily watching the sheep.... yes this will happen after the business trip!!! The wolves want results, results, results. The sheep nods and say: 'no problem, I give it to you baby!', BUT the main ticker here is... how polished are the sheeps support tools so this poor little sheep can produce foxy-enough results for these werewolves ? Rhetorical question? A not-so friendly reminder --- A wolf can easily devour a sheep for lunch! Uh-oh.... I don't think I would taste good for a lunch snack? Would I?

What the heck is going on with this bloody Blogger? I couldn't get in for the freaking *nth time! And once I did, the whole window flew out of my keyboard?! I have typed in more than a million words and boom *&^%$! in a snap it was gone. Don't you just hate that!? GGGRRRRR... Jammer! Ugh. I was supposed to be talking about that *big yawn* cliched household chores... and how I am sooo glad that my Dutchman isn't a Chauvinist Pig! Har har har! Perhaps next time, I will extrapolate the matter. For now, we can dwell on the idea that Dutchman is a GOOD PICK! *wink*

What has become of the world? What has become of me? I am a bonafide internet junkie! There is reason in fact to celebrate... if not because of this crazed technology, Dutchman and I wouldn't have crossed our paths! He would forever stay in the flatlands, maybe end up being a cheesehead ( kaaskop ) bachelor all his life, while I... will be in someone else's arms in God knows where land. Blech! Me thinking that gives me an icky feeling. I guess that is what real ' LOVE' can do, exorcize you! Haha! Let's see... I have several Forums that I am a member of. A travel forum, a Fil-West forum (couple of them), Bisaya forum, Government forum, European Expat forum, Philippine forum, International forum.... what else? Oh yeah I forgot, the forever friendly networking urlLink Friendster and this addictive urlLink Blogger . To add, I have urlLink YM and still contemplating of installing urlLink ICQ in this new laptop. I still have urlLink mIRC but I rarely go there. Albeit, having not degenerated myself into a full-blown Internet Consumer, I am by huge chance prepared to join the pack. Who knows when? Je weet van nooit! To consummate this pledge would be the day that I loose human adroitness in socializing, even if I have to only go to urlLink Albert Heijn , urlLink Nettorama or urlLink ALDI . I know they are poor choices of social forms but hey, that's as realistic as can be! SOBER... Oh well, I book my tickets online too. urlLink KLM has flying colors on my notes with Online Booking and Kiosk Check-Ins... but I have no freaking idea why they behave like PAL? -Plane Always late!- Duh, not urlLink Philippine Airlines , boohoo! Teehee! Then we got for sure the money and life savers - Online Banking in NL. Fantastic! urlLink ABN Amro ( De bank ) does the trick. urlLink Spaarbeleg quite so too... absolute convenience is all I can say. What's next? .... ......... .. Maybe nothing yet, hehe. I am still thinking. I think sandman caught me....

Lovely. The place DJANGO was cozy, in Dutch it is suppose to mean Gezellig . The food was superb! Typical European cuisine: measly scraps of lettuce and shrimp. I am sure the main course didn't reach my viscerals, anyhow I didn't bother raiding the fridge when I got home! I need the NEEDED diet. Nonetheless, my time with my friend Pat was marvelous. We talked randomly. Her family holiday in Spain, mine in Greece.... her sister from Florida visited.... our work and the omniprescence of these assumably control-freak bitches, who can't seem to get a life outside their fantasy workplace.... our DutchMEN and I won't further comment because my Dutchman knows this site and he might hack it down! * Tremble *... our un-never-finished houses (her daughter called that the sink again dripped!)... and of course what we want as wimin . I think flying to New York with her is an exciting idea, in fact she would be the best person to travel with since she lived and worked there for more than half of her life's existence on this planet earth! She did want us to go visit London but helaas, I am not so feverish about it. Golly, I was just there 2 months ago, but next year would be a different scoop. I can just imagine: ' Girl's Night Out '. To top it all, it's just an hour flight from Amsterdam ;-). Maybe I will bring Dutchman to this DJANGO restaurant.

A life saver! Mush-mush for the Cloggies in banning the decrepit Check System! I just loved it really. No more checkbook balancing.... no more accidental paper trail... no more writing so-called money on paper. I am aversed to this kind of chore back in Manila. I am terrible with numbers and I must - if I must, use Excel to be able to add (and minus) things up. I wish I have a personal Accountant, har har har!!! So, here's to Dutch ingenuity: PIN - Pinnen and Online Banking ( ChipKnip too! but I never use this so we can forget about that hehe). Purchases are directly debited to your account. Even the sleaziest cafeteria in the dark alleys in Groningen up north has a Pin System. On the contrary, Credit Cards are not that popular - take note. With Online Banking, you manage all your portfolio via the internet. It is very SECURE . Banks give you this ' Identifer ' code - a tiny calculator-like machine which is programmed to match a series of number codes together with your Pin. Brilliant really. These sober-looking Cloggies would probably give you their winning cheesy grin and say Gaaf ! In reality, these Dutchies just want mundane things to be SIMPLER , FAST , EFFICIENT , ORGANIZED and CHEAP . Nifty swifty, is how you can describe transacting all financial movements over the internet. Muah! Kusje Dutch banks :-)

Oh gawd, I am so dang tired. :-( Last night I stayed up 'till 2:30AM checking jobs online. Found two. I revised my cover letter so I can induce some sparks and catch any attention worth catching! Boom, sent it. The next morning I got two responses. That was quick, really. I didn't match to their profile and requirements! What news - Life. Ack. Oh well, you win some, you lose all! Work. I am still ZERO on the board. Was nice to be back in the centrum of Amsterdam . Dutchman asked me to join dinner together with his business colleague from the UK, Matt er Mister Matt. Leidseplein was it... an intoxicating place. Beertje then Thai food. Uuummm nice for a change.... except that the waiting ladies took a long time to wait on us for the food to be served! Moreover, all I heard the whole evening was the ubiquitous and riotous word, ' Mister '. Don't ask what it means because you'll never get it anyway. A niche in Mister Dutchman's world, kind of a secret boys club password. And surprise surprise.... Pat called! It's been ages. We are getting together come Friday evening. Aaaahh friends... bewitching.

The Foto actually worked! Thanks Friendster for hosting it :-) My tales for the day... Ugh I am tired. I watched half of the ' The Last Samurai ' last night. It was freaking 2AM when I drift off to bed. Dutchman didn't even noticed me! At Work.... I am close to snapping at this Fat Bitch in the office, who can't seem to handle a decent conversation, even with my boss, her boss. Why does she have to scream her tonsils out into her brains in order to get a point across? Talk about harrassment! Nothing is ever good enough with her ONLY IF you first consult her timeless wisdom and discernment. Perhaps she is seething with boiling animosity that we now get to report to the same person! Then the new toy, my HP Pavilion ze551ea is doing ' Fijn '. By the way, ' Kut weer ' is back - rainshowers and a 19C temperature, supposedly for a nice summer day today.... BUT yesterday was 31C? Wat is er aan de hand? What did the Dutch do to deserve this kind of earthly punishment?

I was watching a show on The Discovery Channel about the moons of our solar system, and it said that on Phobos, one of the two moons of Mars, you can throw a ball and then after twenty minutes turn around and catch it coming in the other direction. But if you jump too high you could get pulled into Mars's orbit and eventually crash into it. That's a nice vacation. And on Titan, a moon of Saturn, there are seas made of natural gas. That's where we should send smokers. 'Hey, you got a light?' 'Yeah here-' foomph.

As you may notice in my books section, the next book on my list is Men at Arms , by Terry Pratchett. Well, I've finished that in a week, and I have now gone BACK to the first Discworld novel (actually, novels, the copy I got from the library is the first two books combined.), The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic . I've been on a back and forth journey around this series. I think my first was The Truth , which I've been told is not a good one to start with, since it is a different point of view than the others. Thinking back, I can remember what I was thinking of it, that it was humorous, but in an engrossing way, not a laugh-out-loud way.

Sorry, It's been a busy couple of weeks. But I do have a few things to say. About a month or so ago, I mentioned taking that I had to take the PLAN test. Well today I got the results back. I'm in the 98th percentile of all sophomores. Yay! It feels so good to hear how smart you are from people who could care less. And in other news, I've started a band. Well, not me specifically, but some people from school have joined together to form a band and I'm included. I play keyboards. Apparently, we're punk. I'm not a fan of punk, but who really cares about that anyway. I did hear some talk about covering some Pink Floyd. That's more up my alley. That's all for now.

Today our Scholastic Bowl team (It's a Jeopardy-like club, we compete with other schools in knowldge of all subjects) went to Von Stuben, and I'm not exactly sure where that is, but it's either Chicago or one of the suburbs. We took the entire morning rounds in our division, winning five rounds out of five. But in the afternoon final rounds, since it was single-round elimination, we were defeated. And only by 15 points! Plus I think that the moderator accepted an answer she shouldn't have, tipping the round in their favor. I wonder what team she was for...

For my English class I have to compile an anthology of poems and such that sum up our personality and inner self. We have to write at least two of the poems, and the rest have to be published works. Hopefully I'll be able to choose; there is so much to choose from. I'm listening to an interesting artist by the name of Tina Malia, an album called Shores of Avalon, and I recommend you get a copy. It's very good music. It's classified into 'new age' but don't trust those classifiers. What do they know?

It's set in Japan and is about a young boy who discovers that his father was a member of a network of people with preternatural skills. I'm liking it so far, it's very nicely written.

Our scholastic bowl finished our season second regionally, which I think is pretty good... On a related note, last night I went to a trivia night at someone from work's church. There were 4 other librarians there, plus some other people, and we came in first! $120 grand prize divided amungst us, although we did donate some of it back to the chuch. It was much fun. Did you know that golf is technically an acronym? yes, it is. It stands for gentlemen only, ladies forbidden. Go figure.

It's been a quiet couple of weeks. I'm basically just enjoying the serenity of where I live, as opposed to other places. Sometimes I just don't understand life.

Sorry I haven't been updating lately. Many dull things have been happening to me recently, keeping me pretty busy. I've just started reading Terry Pratchett's newest Discworld novel, Night Watch . And I don't think it is an understatement to say that it is his best novel yet. Even better than Good Omens with Neil Gaiman, which was spectacular.

I recently bought the audio version of Douglas Adams's Salmon of Doubt read by Simon Jones, the only actor who will ever play Arthur Dent well, at least in my book. It is absolutly wonderful, pick it up today, at least the book. It shows the entire spectrum of Douglas's work, from philosophy to technology to just plain silly. On another note: urlLink play this.

It's night, and I'm having existentialist angst. Space is big, you know. REALLY BIG. But then, so am I. Compared to that fly on the table over there. And a microscopic mite is small compared to him. And then think of the DNA of the mite. Then think of the chromosomes on the DNA. Then think of one molecule. Broken down into an atom. Big, small, whatever. I like the night...

Jealousy, we meet again. Yesterday my dear mum departed for London. She has never been before, but then again neither have I. So here I sit, in the *wonderful* midwest. Oh, did that sound sarcastic, sorry. Slipped out. Won't happen again, promise. Bleah.

Ah, summer's here. Finally, a deserved release. I recently bought a new computer, an emachines, from the local Best Buy, and let's just say there were problems. First the modem's drivers won't work. Not a big deal, I wasn't going to use it for internet acess anyway. Then the network acess card for my LAN quits. This is a problem. Gotta have a LAN. Then, and here's the kicker, for no reason at all, when I start the computer it tells me that the cpu fan has failed and that it will not start up. Well, that's just plain bad. Then I decided to try starting it yet again about a day later, and it starts up with no problem. Ugh. But now the mouse's drivers don't work. The tech service guy told me to exchange it for another one when he couldn't get it to work. Thank God for that.

At the beginning of my summer break, at the end of May, I told myself I was going to do 3 things in the next 2 1/2 months. -read 10 novels -exersize -write a short story Well, the 10 novels thing I'm doing well with, and I'm exersizing a fair amount. But not one line of short story has come out of me... I'm beginning to see what Douglas Adams was talking about: 'If fiction is your line, the only option is to drink way too much coffee and buy yourself a desk that doesnt collapse when you bang your head against it.' Too bad I don't drink coffee. *bang*

One of my freinds sent me a couple of those e-mail survey thingys. You know, the ones, they ask you silly questions like 'if you could be a crayon, what color would you be?' Great way to spend 45 minutes... In case you're interested, I'd be orange-red.

Today. Thursday. Thor's day. As some of you may or may not know, I'm an aspiring writer. Aspiring being the key word there. I have had nothing published. This is mostly due to the fact that I am a massive procrastinator Not to mention a complete and utter perfectionist. My advice to any other writers, althought how I could give advice I don't know, is this: do it! I like big font. Words of wisdom from me.

Thought I'd take a walk in the big blue room today, but it's raining again. Hope the power doesn't go out. Someone asked me what I put on my website, and I told them 'whatever happens to me.' They thought this rather boring, and I said 'yes, I suppose you're right.' But then no one comes here, so it's really just for my amusement. hee hee hee!

A massive storm ripped through my city early Saturday morning. I've just now gotten power! They say there were 100 mph horizontal winds. Woah. urlLink Photos here. I was all a bit surreal. But now I'm sitting here, typing this out, in the air conditioning, drinking a Snapple, and life is good. Here is some light music...

USA (the cable network) is brilliant. Here's why: instead of trying to compete with the big network companies, they've decided to start their best programs' seasons in the summer, and get basically no competition with anyone. Which got me to thinking, why is the summer hiatus a standard? Why do all the networks stop showing new (and good, that's the point) in May? Do people stop watching TV in the summer? I think not. Flawed logic, if standard, reigns supreme.

A new school year has begun. Challenging this year will be, I think. Taking some honors classes (spanish 2: argh!) and I'm also in a class full of seniors. (they made it open for juniors this year, but I don't know how many people took it, I'm the only junior in my class!) I'm taking Chemistry, which looks like it might be my favorite class... Now that I'm back to school, and I'll probably have alot more homework this year, I won't be posting here as much, but I'll try to post weekly. Spanish: now there's a class where I need the babel fish.
