My mum is coming soon

Of course I live in a m2 apartment and not a km2 apartment =) I seem to be a bit absentminded when I'm writing.

I'm laying here in our couch, just enjoying having a nice place, and boyfriend, to come home to. All we are missing right now is a coffee table, a small bureau and outdoor furnitures. I can't wait till summer!

Space

The mess before we moved can be seen in the pictures below. Sad to leave to old place, the simple life of Duwo. On to the real life of Zaandam. There will not be a distinct increase of the rent, however, our new apartatment is larger than our old one. The duwo apartment was 40m2 and this place is approx 70m2. Still, I have a hard time hiding my "junk" (=as my boyfriend refers to all my expensive household items and my cloths).

Wij hebben mooi weer vaandag, ik ga stofzuigen en ga een kort wandelen. Morgen is maandag, pff!

Internet - FINALLY!

My text follows after the pictures!

This is our current spot for the couch, it needs to be lifted from the outside.

When you're doing your stuff on this toilet you can make it quick!

Our bedroom

The door leads to a huge terrace

Our current cuddling place, the floor.

Hello everyone,

Sorry for late update, we have had a lot to do. Moving is not as fun as I use to think; many things = many moving boxes.These past two weeks have gone by very fast, my boyfriend came back home at last =) I got a really nice ring with yellow saphires. One week later we sort of moved, we still don't have our couch in the living room and boxes are everywhere. However, we are settling in our new town Zaandam quite fast. Zaandam is very different from Haarlem; while Zaandam is a city for the working class, Haarlem is the city for the upper-class. Interesting contrast, I miss Haarlem but I'm very satisfied with our nest here in Zaandam.

God fortsättning

Nu är det 2011

Jag sitter här i vår lilla lägenhet. 2011 har precis börjat, tiden går så otroligt snabbt. Vädret är strålande här, 5 plus grader och strålande sol. All snö har smällt och det känns som om det är slutet på februari. Jag har snart bott i Holland i ett helt år, vad mycket som har hänt under detta år. Jag tänker inte skriva någon töntig årskrönika, men jag kan säga en sak jag lärt mig detta år; if the world is yours, why not take advantage of it?

Imorgon kommer min kära pojkvän hem! Fy fan va gött det ska bli. Nästa vecka eller veckan efter så flyttar vi till Zaandam. Det är närmare till jobbet och närmare Amsterdam. Det ska bli spännande att byta stad, för hur ska man någonsin veta vad som är bra om man inte prövar sig fram?

Nu ska jag städa lite, byta lakan och bara längta efter allt och alla.

Pussiluss

Holland - Sweden

I'm back in Holland after a mini vacation in Sweden. It was nice to see my family again, and some bit strange to realize how I have changed. Sweden does not look the same, it does not smell the same, Swedish people walk differently, talk differently. After one year my entire picture of Swedish people and Sweden have changed. I no longer use the excuse "of course" with Swedes, instead I find myself getting irritated when people cannot say a simple "hello" when passing you during their walk. Swedish people are short, Swedish people knows the best, in fact they are the best and no one can ever be better. Dutch people are stubburn, rude, tall and extremly honest. They speak as if they have something in their throat at all times.

Strange world we live in, or is it just me?

I have to get my ass going to work!

Happy New Years!

=(

Finding a house is a bitch! Nothing is good enough, nothing is nice enough, there are not enough houses. My head is tired, can't someone just send me a house? Give me a house? A nice one? A pretty normal size one? If I don't have an apartment in January, I guess it will be sleeping on the streets... at least I have a couch and plenty of cloths.

Cherrio... don't lose hope.

Christmas party

Goodmorning!

Yesterday I attended the annual Christmas Party (hosted by the company I work for). The theme was the 20's and most of the people looked amazing. I was not dressed like a proper 20's lady and there is a reason for that; a few weeks ago (before the 20's theme was known to me) I found a black little, imitation leather, dress. It was love at first sight. I just had to buy it and wear it for the company party. My dress was actually a hit, but I did have some difficulties with sitting down. I had a great time, I drank water basically the whole evening. I danced a lot, thank God for gay people! I came home around 2am, slept in and woke up without a hangover. Perfect.

Since I didn't bring my camera, pictures have to wait. Nou moet ik gaan naar Haarlem en kertcadaues voor mijn familie kopen, het is alleen 1½ weken tot Kerst! Tot ziens
