My life in the Netherlands

YEY now i just ordered my new camera from Bol.com and tommorrow i will have it!
In a few minutes i will start with food.

The cours went great even though i was really tired, we learned new verbs like kennen, lopen, praten, eten and allot more. We also spoke allot but everone is so shy so they dont dare i am like WTF doesnt matter if i say wrong its just fun and i learn more then!

After i was spending time with Andrea, it is our tradition drinking coffie, really cute guys that worked on the café hahah.

We planned the weekend and i will join her to amsterdam and party with her other Au pair friends. Going to be real fun we are gonna party all night untill the first train in the morning leaves!

So see ya maybe in the night of amsterdam?!

at 5.35 morris wakes up and starts scream. at six his mom goes up and it gets a bit quiet but i cant sleep again since i know i have to go up soon. SO now i am practiclly dead. I dono what i would do without coffie! I juat left him at the kindergarden and in a few minutes im going to dutch class. Going to be fun but the most fun when im this tired is drinking coffie with andrea after!

Im exhusted in my arms, i just came back from the gym after trying out a lesson called kick fun. It was awesome and i just hit the huge thingie you hit on. Was really stimulating hitting something!

After i took care of the laundry and hang that up hahah i got allot of socks!


I went out in the sunny weather for a walk and to get lunch since i didnt really feel for making something. I went around in streets where i havent been was cool i found allot of sex shops and coffieshops that smelled weed. Thats diffrent from sweden.

I also went to media markt to look after a minicamera since my system camera is to big.
Think i am gonna buy this one from Bol.com

ITS RED<3

why does kids always wake up so early??????  Today i will ehm i dont know xD it is nice weather so  think i will go out soon for a walk and window shopping SOON SALARY COMES!!! :D but i will go to London soon i found out yesterday so i think i will save my shopping to then.

I just watched the first hour from the movie Snabba cash and it is really good so far, a bit weird to hear them speak swedish and see stockholm where i live but fun at the same time.

and i washed my necklace.....

hahah to be honest i was a laundry virgin until now, i did it all by myself and before my mom always helped me XD So now i got an adult point for doing it myself ^^ Hope not all my clothes shrink or something.....

I went with morris first in the morning to kindergarden then i biked to my dutch class, it is fun to go to the class and meet people, Andrea was there of course and we took coffie after and went around in arnhem for fun and did some grocery shopping.

When i got back to the house i realized after searching like a maniac in my pockets after the keys that i forgot them in the storage lock where they keep the bike. So i paniced a bit and did allot of coursing for myself.. LUCKILY just after i texted Marthel that i cant get in the nighbour came never thought i could be so happy seeing a total stranger but damn she saved my day!!!

Now i just wait for the laundry to pop out from the laundry bag in the mashine and clean itself but i guess that wont happend so i have to do it myself soon blaaaaa hate making laundry......

Today I have just been chillin, the rain has been flowing down and after i saw vampire suck i gamed with erin and his friends, was fun but i sucked as much as the movie did....

I just started to watch the movie vampire suck i just say omg haha really weird but fun since i dont like  the vampire hype!

I woke up at around 10.00 ate a big breafast alone becasue  Morris and his mom where going to swim. Since I am free today (great timing cus my stumach hurts from girly week) i will just take it is and finnish the homework for this week and continue my painting I am working on. Ush have to do some lundry aswell....

haha since i had such a shitty day i thought why not try something new, and that became the workout/dance Zumba. Was superfun you danced and shaked your ass at the same time you worked out. I am going to do that again since i got allot happier from it.


Tommorrow i am free and i am going to be that every monday in october!

This day sucked..... I  have all kinds of thoughts in my head that i dont want to have, I just want this day to end before I do something stupid.

Didn´t sleep well woke up allot of times becasue i was dreaming too much. This time i dreamt AGAIN about Tsunamis have been doing that couple of times the last few years. Since i dreamt it so much i know what it means and it is always true.

Tsunami

To see a tsunami in your dream, means that you are being overwhelmed by some repressed feeling or unconscious material that is rising up to the surface. You are experiencing some unhappiness and emotional instability in a waking situation.

 

I think there is a point in that yes....

---

I had a great breakfast with porridge, strawberries and gojiberries together with Inca berries that i bought on the market yesterday.

 

Now i am busy studying on my dutch homework, it goes great!

 

I had a great evening alone! I ate chineese, sushi and chocolate dipped strawberries, watched "She´s out of my league" was a cute and funny movie.


Don´t feel for going out any more think I am gonna watch some tv and sleep.

This morning Morris kindergarden had a kind of summerparty for all the parents and their children. Morris aske dme to come so i joined for fun, it was kind of stiff meeting every parent watched there kid play.
But it was cute and Morris seemed to enjoy it.

Lame quality on the pics but i didnt bring my good camera.




When i got back i went to the market to buy things for myself for tonight! I tell more later.

Then i went to the gym, for once it was allot of people there. At home 1,3 hours after i ate lunch and when the family was gone i cleaned my room, hahah was so messy!. Then i Jumped in the shower and had high music on and just sang loud and false in the shower!

Hope the kid´s parents that Andrea babysit this evening comes home early, then we are gonna party.

Erin linked me this video about ant tunnels and some people filling the tunnels with ten ton cement, was really cool when they digged the cement out!

have a look

Mom sended me some pictures before to show the family and  two photo was with allot of snow on, i really hope i dont have to experience all that snow here.


now autumn




I don´t miss my home ( oke i miss my big fridge because the one here is ubersmall) but i do miss eating salmon so i will make that next week with potatoes!

When Morris woke up from his sleep we went to a big park for playing some tennis and fotball i liked that andso did he, will do that more times with him!

To get there I had to bike on a real busy road it was horrible everyone is biking like maniacs and cars from everywhere. BUT i am learning!

No I just got back from the store i wanted some loose weight candy but that store was closed so i found some chocolate covered nuts :D YUMMY

Soon i will start gaming!!

Today i woke up like 100 times during the night becasue Morris where screaming and caughing. around 7.20 he went up and i thought he did it himself so i went after him but Marthel were home and sick. So I watched Madagascar 2 in dutch with him and Marthel went back to sleep.  Didnt mind watching Madagascar since it is a funny movie!

After the movie me and Morris did paperplanes and swedish loppa, my energy got lower so i made allot of planes and he throw them around. I sneaked away from him and made myself a huge cup of Nespresso coffie god it is delicious coffie all the time, compared to the filter coffie i make at home. The coffie is addictable so i am drinking it way to much.


I have no plans for the weekend at all quiet boring but what can i do ? I will be alone in the house saturday :D

yey finally i got my book to the house! Unfortunatley it didnt arrive in the morning so i had no book in the class but it went alright I looked in the book Andrea had, so happy she is there also since the other people int the class is so quiet. The lesson went fast and suddenly 1.3 hour where over.

Me and Andrea took a coffie at The grand Café in Arnhem city. I think we sat ther for 2 hours or something just chatting it was fun and allot of other people where there to so it was a quiet popular place with cute server guys^^

When we were done we went to H&M and looked there and to foot locker further on the street. But i realized later that i had forgot my bike at H&M so we had to go back to get it XD I always forget it stupid bike!! We got hungry so we ate at a place that sells all kind of sandwiches and bread called Bart´s. tasted great!

After that she took the train home and i went to the gym.

Now im back from the gym and i just made dinner Chilli con carne A´la Johanna, so easy to heat it up when it is dinner time and i don´t have to freak out becasue Morris is asking me to play games with me.

I dont know what to do now, we just had dinner that took forever! Morris is really slow eating when he doesn´t feel for eating. Then he just fools around, Marthel got irritated at that so she made up a story that sinterklaas wont give him presents and that swarte piet will put him in a sack and take him to spain. It was really ridicoulus stroy but i understood it so it was cool!

The dutch book i need for school tommorrow haven´t arrived yet so i will see how the cours is going, but what can i do? hahah

Earlier today i found a bunch of school that I consider applying here in holland since I think it can be fun and challanging study abroad.

Playing tennis!

I am starting on a really stupid hippo in Rhino for fun.

Why is it so damn hard to choose what you want to work with in your life and what you should study to get there.

I want to figure out what i think is funniest, just wake up one day and know this i want to do.

The things i am thinking of doing is: industrial design, jewllery design, pruduct design, game design, animation.

IT IS SO HARD TO KNOW!!!!!!!


it gets even harder when i look back on some of the things i made in school

my body is soar from gym yesterday i did workout a bit to much, but a well it is good!

After i left morris at the kindergarden i went to bed (lazy i know hahah but i was tired) now i will go get coffie.

time pass by and it feels like time is going really fast here and it is great! Picking up Morris went fine I think he is on hs way getting sick becasue he is caughing all the time. We played with swords and i made one for me and we faught against each other. It was fun, we had a castle each and suddenly he had to prepare dinner in his house. Its good exercise for my dutch playing with him so i don´t mind.

For dinner i made tortellini, to be honest i dont really like it ( but i never like to eat the things i cook even though it taste great, i just get full from making it)  but it goes quick to make and i didnt feel for cooking something from skratch today.

Think i will watch a movie now...

This morning started well but was a bit stressful, had to hurry after leaving morris at the kindergarden to the dutch class.

When i went there it was a mixed group but i found another au pair :D yey im not alone anymore. The class was ok and after me and the au pair i met went to the bank since i needed the bank account and a card. After we grabbed some coffie and talked, she was fun and nice to talk to.

After that i went to the gym and shop some dinner.

Soon i will start cleaning the kitchen and my room before i pick up morris.

I looked at Salt with Angelina Jolie,  if I would look like somon else she would be the one since she is beatiful. The movie was great and not boring at all SEE IT!!!

I am tired and i feel for doing absolutley nothing! So that is my plan today and  i am so happy i dont have to work today.  wish i had a movie to watch.

Now i am back from being visiting Erin in Bergen and i am compleatly brak! but it was worth it I had a great  time  Erin ( i know you are reading :P)and I would love to visit again. :D

I arrived there saturday at around 18.00 I meet some of his friends and his 2 brothers. I was the only girl in the beginning so it was fun being sourrounded by guys is never wrong^^
Then we had dinner, fries with  mayo, its delicious!

After one hour or so after starting a fire and making Erins already broken phone more broken XD me erin and dave1 (was 2 dave) started with beergame with not the same rules as in sweden much funnier. haha and one rule was called something with viking but in dutch and u had to have ur finger as a vikinghorn and the one on ur left and righ where supposed to paddle, and the rest was water and if u where the viking and pointed to somone did he/she become the viking.

later on more of his friends came and we were allot of people around th table being ridicilous and got more drunk. If i play that again with everyone i am brining my camera!

After 11 we went to the city and to a bar for more drinking was great. around 2 we went home to sleep and the awesome partynight was over!

Sunday!!

gaming sunday

woke up pretty early Erins cat got in the room and ate my hair i hell dono why but she was cute except for when she did that XD we went up cleaning and after breakfast we gamed all day was really funny but in the end i sucked so bad i felt like a uber noob!

Now i will go to bed and sleep since i am a bit brak and when i arrived in arnhem again i ate on burger king fries since it was the only thing opened and it was good for the moment but now i feel worse.

oke been to town recently and i bought a red scarf i wanted for really long! i also baught a silver chain since mine is broken. Plus some smirnoff vodka ( I DIDNT HAVE TO SHOW ID) hahhahaha

soon i will jump in the shower eat some and get dressed to go to erin tonight!!

Just ate breakfast with the whole family it was nice, i like eating with them since we always talk allot.

Now i had coffie and i am ready for the day, soon i will go in to town book a ticket for the train later on in the afternoon.

and! the sun is shining

We made a tower





and chokladbollar

Today was fun and I think morris liked the day aswell. mostly he liked to bake. But also bike (fietsen) a little while to the store.

when his mom came home i became free! then i played Halo reach with my brother home in sweden that was funny!

Tommorrow i will go to erin and PARTY it´s going to be great.

Good morning!

I am tired morris woke up first at 6.00 and luckily he slept over but i had a hard time doing that, and when i did morris woke me up again.

well well we had breakfast and now he is watching pippi longstocking in dutch on my tv



when he is done with that we are going to make chokladbollar!

gosh biking here is hectic since everyone does it! but it is easy when you are used to it (which i am not!) becasue they have special lanes just for biking.

I will pick up morris soon and after that i will make dinner.

this morning sucked -.- morris woke up as normal and he had a lego plane that broke a bit and then he freaked out for nothing since he was tired. I tried to make breakfast while he was crying i the background. when i finally made him eat i had to feed him so i couldnt eat and then i got a bit grumpy so i was not so happy with him this morning. Plus i had to hurry since i was going to the dutch cours.

Later on when i left morris i went to volksuniversitet for the dutch cours, BUT no it was not today as the guy thuesday told me, it is next week!! So i stressed there for nothing.....

Going to the gym soon and then im gonna shop an awesome foundation from clinique that i was able to try.

Days pass by super fast and now i did all the things i was suposed to do and more.

I have been fixing the meny for a week, emailing about a dutch book, booking concert tickets, bought nailpolish, vaccumcleaned, imprignaded my new shoes and gamed a bit.

the food is just prepared and today i made up something with mashed potatoes, masalamix and hached meat, with that i will have fried vegtables

Soon weekend! time for PARTY!!!!

I AM FINALLY GOING TO SEE BUCKHERRY!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3

Morris woke up at 7.00 i think he knew i was up late the day before gaming and talking to Erin, Mathieu and Tom so he was waking up earlier to mess with me, but it went alright when i had my breakfast i got more alert and we did the morning routine.

oh and the dutch intro yesterday went great except for the rain and me not being used to bike in traffic. I went there got a paper talked to a guy and said goodbye. Going there thursday again for the real lesson!!!

Now i have just finnished vacumcleaning the house and its so big im exhusted XD I want to game but i have some things to do first, one of the things is to make a meny for the week which i dont mind since i like to cook.

Later i will go in to town a quickie to buy some stuff and go for a walk because the weather is awesome and i dont want to go to the gym today.

Morris thought he was really cool this morning with he´s cap so i took a picture of him to boost his ego

He is a really sweet boy and do all the things I manage to say in dutch!

on my way to the dutch course intro now!!

that everyone that likes gaming should buy Halo Reach! good graphic awesome layout, multiplayer is brilliant and it is the beginning of the saga!

Well enough of that i just stopped playing with Erin, and i prepared the dinner for tonight. Soon i will get Morris and later on I will go to the dutch course interview SO EXIDED!!! When i come back more gaming ^^

Going to game now!!

Morris woke up 30 min earlier that i usually wake him up, so i thought i take the chanse packing my gym equipment and head towards the gym after I left him at the kindergarden.

at the gym it was not so muh people i was pretty much alone. When i was done at the gym I went to the gamingstore that is next to the gym! There i bought Halo Reach and a wireless network adapter.

25 years of succes and without you I wouldn´t be this intrested in gaming as  I am today so all respect to Mario and to my dad that bought Nintendo 64 when it came out and to my little brother that kept competing against me in allot of games!!

today i said i was going to do some shopping and i did, first i looked all over arnhem to find a pair of shoes for my weird feets that is a bit different sizes.

Luckily I found a pair after couples of hours!

I liked them allot they where comfy and good looking :D



Then I went to media markt to buy a Tv because i want to game in the evening with friends. I completly adore it!
tommorrow Halo reach comes out and i will buy it after the guy that looks after the heather has been here.



I choosed between this one and a smaller but i fell in love with this one <3

Before i went to Holland i had a Photoshoot with Tiffany Ismail since she needed some pictures for her Portfolio and website.  Here is the website please check out! she is really good taking pictures

I had a real good time during the weekend in a place near the city Groningen, the little village was called Haren.

Here are some pictures:



Morris and his cousin Thys.



It was a market in Haren and of course they have cheese! <3


I found a really lovley house, want to live in a house like that when i get older!!!


The kids had lego and i couldnt help building with it when they where asleep ^^


Saturday!

I went with the bus to Groningen for some shopping and to look around.
It was a really nice city with allot of people and students.


MMMM I ate super good strawberries for lunch (amazing they still taste delicious here now since they are totally tastelss in sweden)  and some nuts i bought in the market


The map of Groningen!


One of the markets.

hahahah judgement day is close watch out!XD

so while waiting for judgment day you can smoke weed XD


We also had a great dinner with good food and allot of talking, my dutch is getting better every week and I really like to be here in HOLLAND :D

woke up 2 times this night because Morris started to scream, I don´t know why. Soon I will go up and make some brekfast porrige, shower and get dressed since we are going to Groningen today. I think it can be fun.

I will be reached on my phone untill sunday, they have no computer where im going so cya then!!

I feel allot better now and I feel how my energy is going back in my body!!! :D

Before I picked up morris I made the dinner because it goes so much better cooking without him. When we got back to the house we played with Lego and his cars. We also draw some things but not so long.

peanutbutter but i can´t eat it everyday since it is not healthy. I don´t really know what to do today, I still feel a bit sick and low on energy. I hope I feel better tommorrow becasue then we are going to Groningen to meet the mother of the familys relatives.

well I dot care gonna eat a sandwich with peanutbutter on now and drink some coffie!! :D

I am so tired I just wanna sleep but it is not even 20.00 so i rest on my desk while being on msn.
Soon a program about 9/11 starts i think i will watch that and fall asleep like I always do while watching TV.

The food I made for dinner went awesome i just made some random weird Lasange but they liked it allot so i am happy with that.

ahh I hate shopping grocery and especially now when i feel a bit sick. The people that came and looked at he house must think I am a huge neard gaming but i dont care^^ gaming is fun!

I am super tired and just wanna sleep. Well going to albert hijn for grocery now and then pick up morris!

I am so tired and i think i am o my way to get sick because my ear hurts allot for no reason. There will also come some people here soon to look at the house since we are going to move in a few month somewhere else.

I think i will just sit in the livingroom today and relax don´t wanna get sicker or first take care of the dish.

soon I am going to pick up Morris from kindergarden, I know for sure he is going to be tired because he was already complaining about it this morning. Hopefully he is not going to behave bad and cry. To make it easier for me later i prepared rhe food for dinner already. I made chicken with coconut milk and vegtables together with rice.

His mom will come home later today so I will put him to bed aswell.

Now I am killing time and litsening to Buckcherry, gosh want to see them so badly in Taste of chaos tour together with Disturbed, Papa Roach and Halestorm.

After we went out for some biking and when we came back we ate lunch and now he is asleep.

Today i went in to the city of Arnhem (it is so close only 5 min walk!) for looking after shoes and see the fasion show they had in the city centre.




I didn´t find any shoes I wanted so I went to look after a cheap tv so i will be able to play on my xbox soon.

I have been in Arnhem for a week now and i really enjoy my stay here!

So far I have been seeing "living statues"




During my first work day everything went fine, the child I am looking after is called Morris and he really is adorable. Only problem is he speaks dutch and no english, sometimes it is a bit hard to understand. But i am learning and the 14th of september I will go to a dutch cours.

When I am free i go to the gym or work with my 3d program called Rhinoceros 4.0. the picture is my latest design.




Yesterday we went to the familys´s moms sister for BBQ and I also went quick to Utrecht, was a really cool city.

Utrecht
