Home sweet home

And then I am back again. Can't believe how fast the past couple of weeks have gone! Well actually, when I was in Indonesia, it felt way longer. Which was very nice. But now that I am back again. The week literally flew by. and back home it is cold, grey, flat and everything. I am back in the 'back home blues'. I always have that when I come back from a wonderful holiday. Because that was it, wonderful. We saw so many things! The crowded city of Jakarta, Yogyakarta with the beautiful Borobudur and Prambanan, the Merapi (and all the Muslims singing), the Komodo islands, the snorkling, the Komodo dragons, waking up with the dolphins, the giant bats at night. Sleeping outside on the boot. And beautiful Bali, with the wonderful temples, the great tour guide who showed us Bali at a speed of 40 km per hour, the vila's with the outstanding views. And I think I am forgetting half of the rest. It was wonderful. A real great experience, which left lots of laundry. I had yesterday and today still off to do all that stuff, but tomorrow for me the normal life also starts again. It always makes me a little sad. Which actually is a good thing, because it shows me how much fun I had and how blessed I am to go out and see the world. Of course I am happy to be back home safely, but I had such a wonderful time, it is ok to be a little sad that it is over.

10 years

Wow what a lovely surprise weekend!! This weekend (september 5th) my boyfriend and I have been together for 10 years. We were supposed to go out for dinner, but in the morning he woke me up and asked me to pack my suitcase!! What a surprise. He arranged a nice suite in a hotel and we visited Rotterdam. There were the world harbour days which were nice. In the evening we went out for a dinner at a restaurant of a famous chef. It was wonderful. Thank you so much honey. You really surprised me! I love it how you went through all this trouble for me. Thank you so much for being my best friend and my love. I have loved you these 10 years, and I will continue to love you for the rest of my life!

3 more weeks - Countdown Indonesia

3 more weeks to go. I am getting little nervous job-wise, because I was told that I 'probably' would hear something about my job future before I go on vacation. Hopefully this is true. I learned that these little prognosis can change quite a lot. So it is difficult for me to really know how my future looks like job-wise. This Tuesday, september 1st, I will see the person who should be able to tell me anything. So I just have to go and ask.

Lost all matches

A few weeks ago I participated in a tennis tournament and we won the mixed doubles. The past week I entered another tournament. It was a little bit more difficult as I played against 'higher' players. And I noticed, I lost everything! I was so frustrated! I really doubt myself if I will ever get better. Ofcourse it is nice to win a tournament. But is was in the most low category of the strength of the players. So I wanted to see if I could do a little better. But it turns out I can't. We even lost from teammates who have been playing tennis for much less years than we have. So I had an off day yesterday and kind of felt like Baghdatis
