Being chairman

Tomorrow I am expected to lead my very first meeting and be a chairman. I am so nervous! It's not something I like doing and now I have to lead a workgroup for 2 hours. Let's hope everything will turn out to be fine. Fingers crossed. A nice picture to stiffen myself.


Ciao!

Anouk - Lost

A beautiful song by a Dutch artist. A listened a lot to it in a period of lost love. It's wonderful how some songs contain lyrics that are so applicable to a life's moment. In this one for me it was "Mister inaccessible, will this ever change? One thing that remains the same is, your still a picture in a frame."
Enjoy listening to it!



Ciao!

A beautiful song: James Blunt - Goodbye by lover


A beautiful song which has always touched me is 'goodbye my lover' by James Blunt. During some periods in my live, or at some special moments, some songs are more often heard then others. This is one of those songs. During the best summer I've spent in my life so far this was one of the popular songs on the radio. Furthermore I could (and still can) really relate to the lyrics of this song which made it 'stick'.

"Goodbye My Lover"
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

Victory in Europe Day


A Dutch picture of our symbol for the two days in which we have some extra attention for the freedom, given to us by the soldiers who fought during World War II, and are still fighting all around the world. We live in a free country, are free to have our own opinions and go where ever we want to go. In some parts of the world this is not the case, and not so long ago it wasn't the case in the Netherlands. Things like this, and the sacrifices that were made should be never be forgotten and remembered every day. These two days remind us of that and give us and extra opportunity to do so and honored those who faught and died for this freedom.

Ciao!
