Hope my blogg readers are well.
Lately not blogging much. I´m to busy enjoying life.
Life is really good at the moment. Enjoy every minute of it.
Health wise everything also in balance. So I have nothing to complain about :-) 

 Time goes so fast. Its already June and it would be nice to see some more sun.
I´m really a summer person. Loving sun it makes me feel so much better.
Better mood and much more energy.

Last week I went to Glasgow to finally meet up my lovely friend and meeting up some lovely persons. I really had a great time. I cant remeber I laughed so many hours in a day.
My cheeks and belly hurted from laughing. Feel really blessed. I was a bit afraid of the scottisch accent but it went fine when they dont talk to fast, and I´m not to tired and didnt drink alcohol lol.
What a beautiful country it´s so green and so many hills wow. Already booked days off from work to go end September again. Wished some people lived closer to my home, so I can see them more. Really enjoy to spend time with them.
Shane Lynch is going to drift so I cant miss that. It feels for ages ago I have seen him. Really looking forward to it.

Life update and quotes

Hello dear readers,

Again not blogged for a while.

Very busy at the moment with work and social life. Lots of appointsments and catching up with friends. I havent seen some for such a while. During the week its for me difficult to meet up with friends because I havent got all the energy after work. My body proofs it again now. Last couple of weeks I had a busy agenda. Meetings friends, drinkkies (a bit to much OCH), and a bit of party. That also means late in bed and not much sleep. I really loved it to do if I´m healthy but yesterday I was soooo tired again.

I slept and watched a movie thats all I did on the Sunday. Really have to take some steps back now but look back at amazing weeks ha! :-)  

Still work at the same department. Still looking for other job but its hard. The positive thing here is I can do what I want. That means if I deliver good work and end project on time I can work at home or even start a bit later at the office. Very positive for when I´m tired.

Found some nice quotes online I want to share. That did it for me a bit. Also some amazing images I loved.

Loving the ¨very¨ high heels, if I only could walk on them to... hahaha 

Bought some black high heels but they are not THAT high. When I wear the high silver one like below I end up on the floor lol.

Hope you liked the quotes!

Life, love and laugh!

Updates about my life (April 2012)

It´s a long time ago I wrote a blog. I thought lets do a little update.

10th April I had 18 years my kidney. It felt a bit if its was my birthday. At work I had some cake and my colleagues were joking around. Your kidney is allowed to drive a car now, and in USA to drink alcohol etc hahahaha. After work I had some drinkies with my loveones. Was really great laughter. Also drunk some beer because my dad loves that. Its my dad kidney so my kidney is used to beer. To keep it in form I drink sometimes beer. Cant believe 18 years ago my dad and me were at the operation table and he isnt here anymore to celebrate it.
I do think he is watching us, some how.


Then weeks ago I had a date. Well nice guy but at the end not my type of man. Some personality what is important for me was missing. You can call it disaster date lol. I can laugh about it now but back then I was not a happy lady. But I learned my lesson and life goes on! In Holland we say: theire are more men then churches. So here we go my eyes and heart are open again.

At work everything is a bit the same. Still searching for an other job. Its very hard to find something.
They also looking outside this company. Very exciting are this kind of stuff. I really love my colleagues I have now. We can really joke around and have fun. I know you have to work at work but to have fun I find it so important when you are at the office 5 days a week.

BTW I love my hair now. (read my blog weeks ago) I´m totally used to it. Its curly shiny.
I might keep it this way. I think this hair cut was the best cut in my life, not to short.
Real great hairdresser makes the difference!

Also hope the summer comes soon. I miss the sunshine. I need the sun also to get some energy.
Feel again a bit tired lately but well also a bit my fault. I make to many plans I cant resist because they are nice and fun. Ow well you life just ones so do it good! Cheers!!

 My kidney I have from  my dad.

Dad and Dublin

In 2010 I had to make a big decision for myself for 2011. 

You know a lot what happens in life is in your own hands in my eyes. I mean in sort of way you decide how your future looks like sometimes. I figured out that I would like to go to Dublin and wanted to see Boyzone and more then once. The city looked back then great and beautiful had never been there before. Then Boyzone announced to do a tour in honour of Stephen. In March they performed in Dublin. The date was on 15 March for me a sad day its the day I lost my dad 9 years ago. I know life goes on bla bla but its a day you never forget. When you lost a parent I think you know what I mean. To be away from home on that day, to be overseas felt strange to do that. Then I thought you never forget a day because its the saddest day ever, why dont try to combinated it with what makes you sing, dance, sparkle and give your eye some hot Irish men and makes you feel happy. When I look back in the future (like next year) I think also of something great. I did it booked flight, hotel and concert ticket wooohooo!!!!

I did sometimes struggle that day and yes to hear the song "one more song" hits a bit but over the whole day it was great! I really enjoyed that day. Did a candle in the church, did a red roses at Dalkey. 

That whole day was fine and the evening..........amazing!! I also found out that week my love for Ireland. Ow YES I love it!! I know some people dislike my love for Boyzone. This is just 1 tiny part of what they changed me in a good way. Also it are people that dont know anything about it.´Because my real friends see how it changed me in positive way and they never bothered they know me. Also they are happy to see me happy.  Boyzone changed my future and past.

Now looking back on the saddest day of the year I can also look back on a great happy day in Dublin. Happy and in balance.

I changed my future......

Your always in my heart, miss you every day and love you always.

My dads favo song back then and also was at the funeral.

My tattoo´s

Yep I have tattoo´s and I want more lol.

As a kid one of my friends mum gave me gold Egypt ankh for at the gold chain during my dialyses. 

The meaning long life. Since then I wanted a tatttoo of it. Ofcourse lots of doubt because the people around me dont like tattoo´s especially not my parents. 

After 17 years I deciced to do it in Amsterdam with my sweet aunty. I was so not happy what a pain and my aunt kept laughing. The heart above the ankh is special with a  G from my dads name Giacomo. Special because my dad gave me a longer life with giving me his kidney. Then year later I find it a bit bored and seen Michele his tattoos and loved the shadows. Thats what I wanted with words, my life quotes. Life, love and laughs, thats important for me. My red line in my life. So in Dublin last year with my friend we went to Michele and he did amazing work 

Last 2 years I love the song of Ronan Keating - lovin each day. A song that always cheers me up, sing and dance. Great memories also of his moves during the tour. Some friends and fans will know exactly what I mean ;-) I thought thats it, when I´m down I keep thinking: Loving each day!

 Then after weeks of searching for a good tattoo artist in Amsterdam I found one T-Lou. Amazing artwork but she travels through the whole world. She was there in 2 weeks. I mailed with FB and she was fully booked. Had to wait for 6 months. Then I went to the tattoo studio just to see the other tattoo artists theire work and bump to T-Lou. She knew who I was because we mailed with facebook. Guess what......???? 

At that moment someone had cancelled before I knew she designed my tattoo and we did it. I wanted: loving each day, but with music notes and you not could see directy what I wrote on my arm also a red star for Steo.

I can tell you every time I see it it gives me special feelings. At the hospital everytime I have a kidney check up giving blood I see the tattoo. It gives an incredible amazing proud feeling and it feels good and reminds me: love each day! Because you dont know whats around the corner!

Then this year in February when I was in Dublin I did the colors at my leg tattoo also by Michele ofcourse. Now I think its more feminine and really me. It suits me, who I´am! 

 Next I think a shamrock, so there is always a part of Ireland with me with all the great memories.Many people warned maybe regret it later when you are old. 100% I never will. Every tattoo has an amazing memory. Also when you have what you exactly wanted you are satisfied.

 Tattooing is about personalizing the body, making it a true home and fit temple for the spirit that dwells inside it.... Tattooing therefore, is a way of keeping the spiritual and material needs of my body in balance.  ~Michelle Delio

Your necklace may break, the fau tree may burst, but my tattooing is indestructible.  It is an everlasting gem that you will take into your grave.

A genuine tattoo.... tells a story.  I like stories and tattoos, no matter how well done, and if they don't tell a story that involves you emotionally, then they're just there for decoration, then they're not a valid tattoo.  There has to be some emotional appeal or they're not, to my way of thinking, a real tattoo.  It tells people what you are and what you believe in, so there's no mistakes.  ~Leo, tattooist, 1993, quoted in Margo DeMello, Bodies of Inscription, 2000

The world is divided into two kinds of people:  those who have tattoos, and those who are afraid of people with tattoos. LOL

Life, Love and Laugh.

All good

What a week! In a  good way though!

Very busy at work searching for an other job. We are keeping searching for solutions so I can leave this department. My manager has no problem that I stay till then. I learn a lot thanks to the intern we now have for a couple of months. Really gonna miss my colleague though. We have so much fun. They are very caring.

My friend and me made soto soup, its indonesian soup. I always loved that soup and I wanted to learn that to. Well it was delicious but what a work. 1,5 hour in the kitchen together. Next day I eat it with my mum she liked it to. I´m not going to make it when I´m alone lol. I will just make it with my friend. Also had a great time with her catching up but for a workday to much wine haha bit of a pain in my head next day.

Hospital check up went also well. Kidney is doing good. Already knew that because I feel very well. Have to be carefull with my energy but I´m used to that.

Today I had a great lunch with my best friend. Also some wine again. Its long time ago I had so many wine in one week. Was great to see her and to catch up. Great laughs, talks and yummy food.
25 years of friendship I can tell her everything, all my sillyness, talk about men (most of the time complaining though, they really come from mars and me from venus lol) , tell her my mistakes and she will never judge me and not less love me for that and I not her ofcourse. We have a great friendship sometimes we speak 3 times a week and sometimes a month not but we are always there for each other and helping each other. She helped me through the most terrible times of my life. We are never worried about our friendship because everything is just ok because we know each other that well. I was witness at her beautiful marriage. Also she made my life ritcher with 2 kids a son and daughter. They are adorble, they always make me smile and they fill my heart with love and warmth. I think this is all whats about in a friendship.

In the mean time I´m very happy with my curly wild hair. Got some advise for mouse and bought it and my hair looks so much better. Now I´m happy I listend to the hairdresser. Feel confident again and the sparkle happy me is back again. Wooohoooooo

Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true friends!

"A Friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway!!!" 

I wish everyone a great start of the new week!

Life, love and laugh.

Soto soup 

My hair

I love my long hair, made me also feel more women or something.

I think its 15 years ago that I had it so song.

Last couple of months my hair gets in bad state and it gets wors and wors.

Dry and lose lots of hair, its getting more thin. Also some places is so thin it almost bald. I do my separation of my hair more and more at the left. Sometimes did some eyebrow brown on my the tinn spots, so people did not see it.

Yesterday at the hairdresser she gave advise cut it off.  I just wanted to burst in tears when she said it. She said give your headskinn bit of a rest and start with new healthy hair. Well I thought its not the first time I had shorter hair and I liked it back then, lets do it. When she was finished I hate it. Dislike, awfull. Home cried my eyes out. I thought this is just not my day tomorrow when you wake up its better. In mean time for the first time I did hate the mirror and didnt watch, did a tail and try not to feel my hair. This morning I wake up walked to the toilet and seen my hair again cried my eyes out still hate it. Felt so awfull, ugly, just didnt felt me, I want me back. It´s now till my shoulders.

Next solution was shower do my hair my way. After that I felt better it looks better. 

Also friends made me feel better. Looks like it takes time to get used it. Also someone ask me: what has happened to the lady that inspires me to be positive and gratefull for what I have? Well ehhh yes I lost that positive mind a bit. Also that I should watch the mirror and be thankfull I have not had cancer treatment and it is not falling out. Well she just gave me the kick under my bud I needed, YES she did. Guess what????

I´m back, fuck the hair my health is more important. The meds effect my hair but the rest of my body healthy. Back to postive me again.

Still not sure if I like te style but gonna watch and see how it goes whole week.

There is a positive thing to with short hair, I get easy curls. Now I have it straight but also can make it curly.

Next week will see how it looks like with curls.

Thanks ladies for your nice words, cheer up, understanding and the bad joke someone told me to make me laugh. Feel much better.  Now gonna enjoy my Sunday.
