Delicious dinner, a lot of chocolate, champagnoise+gold liquor.. hehe in the kitchen we "hospitality girls" spoiled ourselves as well ;) won't go into too much details hehe but let's say it's been a fun night!

Expedition in the sand...

Coconuts, palm trees, and A LOT of sand.. toil and moil, concentration, power, luck.. RBC's annual trip was a true survival à la 'Expedition Robinson'!
The first test was the trip to Amsterdam itself.. No, we did not get lost.. we just took some wrong turns hehe. Behind us the car with Edouard Duplan and Kevin Diaz, our french soccer players, who were a little insecure driving a car in Holland when not knowing exactly where to go, so they just followed every 'step' we made, and so making wrong turns and changing wrong lanes as well. They had so much fun, applauding for us each time we went the wrong direction or made a wrong 'move'. But we managed to get to the studios just in time..with no accidents..unlike others hehe.
After changing clothes and the first Red Bulls (it was a "home-match day-after" so we had a very short night and were still pretty exhausted) it was time to form the groups that were about to compete each other. I was told to be teamcaptain of the "Blue Team", a very enthousiastic group consisting of the lovely Patries (office), my favourite "soccer-buddy" Arjan Ebbinge, the very smart (and handsome hehe) Sjoerd Schrier and the somewhat overly enthousiastic Benjamin Martha. It's been a great day! The pictures will follow hopefully very soon, and I will tell more about the tests itselves then. For now it's enough to say our Blue team won the expedition! Despite elimination points by Raymond&co. Yay! But that was unfortunately not the end of the game.. from our team one true "Robinson" had to prove himself.. One after the other we had to select a cup and eat what was under it, and that wasn't always yummy.. Cockroaches, grasshoppers,.. argh after Martha I had to give up as well.. it was too much for me. I'm not a true Robinson.. Arjan "Eppie" ate the most disgusting insects and won the expedition. Luckily the champaign was for the 5 of us all hehe ;)
A delicious Asian dinner and a lot of beers later we were completely exhausted. The day was a huge success. If you ever need to organise some kind of teambuilding-event.. I can really recommend a visit to The Sand! :)

Happy birthday, SAMMY!!

Our precious Sammy turned 15 years old today! HURRAY! She's really an oldie now; almost blind, almost deaf, asleep almost all day long, but still so happy with life! And I'm so happy with her!!! This piccie was taken almost 15 years ago, when she and her brother were just puppies! 15 years...oh my, I'm getting really old as well hehe...

It's a beautiful day
The sun is shining
I feel good
And no-one's gonna stop me now, oh yeah
Another lovely day spent out on the beach! It was so nice to escape the hay fever troubles for some hours. They make me feel kinda miserable and as a result I'm constantly a bit out of temper. I don't like that for sure! The clean and windy air made me feel very hungry hehe. Good for me we went for a dinner at the "WOK" but uhohh was being too enthusiastic and I overate myself... YES that IS possible! My poor belly was about to explode hehe. I guess I won't have my famous midnight-snack later tonight...

Definitely NOT desperate!!!

This weekend I received an email-request from Stijn to fill out my profile and join him with his friends on some dutch profile site named "Facebox". At his age it's quite "important" to have lots of "friends", so "what the hell" I thought, I created the damn account, filled out my profile, uploaded some pics and tadaaa! welcome to the wonderful world of Facebox hehe. Hooooo I was soo welcomed, by sooo many desperate men, they all wanted to be my "friend" hehe. Fools! All those private messages in just a few hours, I stopped counting them hehe. The one message even more pathetic than the other! Okay some of them were quite original I have to admit. I can appreciate THAT. I had some good laughs hehe. But that's just it! I know my "romantic life" isn't really the way I want it to be right now (working on it though!!!) but this is not the way for me to change it. I'm not THAT desperate! After only a few hours I removed page elements like "relationship status"... that kinda helped! =) Please let those desperate guys catch an OTHER fish and not ME!!

No man's land

I've been living in my little "cottage" for almost 5 years now. It's situated on the south-east border of Roosendaal, pretty much near the woods, and I just love the place. I could use an extra room though hehe but that's not the issue here. For some reason phone companies are assuming that spot is situated in Belgium which resulted in very loooong €€€ bills. Or some of them say that place doesn't even exist?! It's just too weird! Since about a week I get those messages like "welcome visitor from ZUNDERT" when surfing on the World Wide Web... even on my own homepage!!! On every site I'm tracked down as a "Zundert-inhabitant"! Not that I'm very proud of the city of Roosendaal hehe, but in this case I'd like the world to know I still live in ROOSENDAAL!!

Heya hay fever!

AARGH the troubles started again! I felt a bit uncomfortable for a few weeks already but now... sneezing the minute you walk out the door... constantly those f*%#@! tearing eyes... sooo tired all day long... and I know things will only get worse from now on. Damn you, hay fever!

Hooikoortsbericht Nederland
Geldig vanaf zaterdag 7 april 2007 - Aanhoudend ongunstig

De hooikoortssituatie is ook vandaag weer vrij ongunstig. In de ochtend valt er lokaal wel wat zuiverende neerslag, maar het overgrote deel van de dag verloopt droog, waarbij met name in de middag de zon steeds meer de overhand krijgt. Ook de komende dagen blijft de situatie ongunstig en wordt de hinder groter door verder oplopende temperaturen en meer zon.
