Peace out!
My life hasn't changed really that much from last time since I've put something here. Just that I'm extremely busy with school and work. I don't even have much time for myself or my friends. Only the friends I have at school and work. And well my love life... still happily in love and thinking of ways to tell him, but I don't know how. Yes, I am a coward..

My life hasn't changed really that much from last time since I've put something here. Just that I'm extremely busy with school and work. I don't even have much time for myself or my friends. Only the friends I have at school and work. And well my love life... still happily in love and thinking of ways to tell him, but I don't know how. Yes, I am a coward..
And... I started talking to my ex boyfriend again, I have been.. neglecting him for a couple of months Yes I know, bad thing of me to do, but I started talking to him last night and it went better than I expected. We just had fun like the good old days, and we both hope that we can keep doing this. And we both missed each other.
I've also decided to talk things over with this former friend of mine who stabbed me in the back nearly a year ago. I just miss hanging out with her.. of course I will be more careful this time with telling her stuff that I don't want out in the open. She just has to earn back my trust and I have a feeling it's going to take a looooong time. But I'm not sure she was being sincere when I told her that I wanted to talk things over with her and that I missed her.. she had this fake glow over herself? I dunno X"D Or maybe it's just me being paranoid.. We'll see. If she's going to be fake about it then it's over. Only thing that'll suck is that she lives in the same street as mine.. I don't see her often at work so that'll be fine.
Hmm.. I've talked my boss into giving a job to a good friend of mine and she had to start yesterday.. And yesterday was pretty hectic.. so I actually felt sorry for her that she had to do soooo much for her first day, but at least she has the advantage of knowing multiple stations only on her first day, and she did a great job. I'm proud of it, and I'm sure my co-workers + boss are proud of her too.
I just hope she had 'fun' doing it.
Don't got much more to say so ... bye xoxo · close
My friend always used to tell me about her experiences with sleep paralysis and how lucky I was for not having to experience it. I never knew how right she was until this morning..
You know how sometimes when you dream and you know you're dreaming and you know it's about to get scary and you wake yourself up? Well that's what happened.

I woke myself up, but I did feel strange, half asleep. So at that point I thought I ended up in another weird dream. I tried waking myself up again only it wouldn't work. At this point my mind started to get clearer which made me believe I was already awake so I decided to turn around to make myself more comfortable. Problem was, my body wouldn't move. I tried turning around again, I still wouldn't move. Somehow my friend's stories about sleep paralysis started to haunt around in my head, I started to panic. I tried moving everything, my arms, my legs, my fingers, my toes, seriously everything, but I still wouldn't move. I even tried screaming - even though nobody was home - but nothing came out my mouth. My eyelids were feeling so heavy I could hardly keep them open so I honestly thought I was going to die - stop laughing, I really thought I was going to die XD - and my heart started beating faster with every move I tried to make. After a while I just let my eyes close and started telling myself to wake up and after I opened my eyes again my body would move again. T__T
So, was this like, the real deal? Or did I just had a freakish nightmare. And who of you have experience with this??
p.s: this happened when I lied on my back - my friend said it happens to her too when she lies on her back - · close
Like every year I go out on this day and try to avoid the busiest areas.
Well at first I went to Utrecht to pick up a friend whose trainticket I was paying to come to amsterdam. Afterwards we waited on the train station near my house for another friend who was coming along with us. When she finally arrived we went to my house and wait for two more other friends.

Like every year I go out on this day and try to avoid the busiest areas.
Well at first I went to Utrecht to pick up a friend whose trainticket I was paying to come to amsterdam. Afterwards we waited on the train station near my house for another friend who was coming along with us. When she finally arrived we went to my house and wait for two more other friends. While the first two were spazzing about my TVXQ photobooks I was searching for magazines in my room that I wanted to give away to my friend.
When eventually the last two of my friends arrived we made our way to Amstelveen hoping that it was quiet over there and people were selling stuff. But it was totally deserted so we went to get something to eat and made our way back to Amsterdam. It was hella busy so we had to hold eachothers hand to not lose eachother in the crowds. We tried to avoid the crowds by finding other ways to get to where we wanted to go, but people where EVERYWHERE so it kinda got on my nerves as I were already getting tired from walking all the time.
Then out of nowhere some guy calls my friend a 'F'ing Chinese' so he was like: "Wth, what's your problem??" but here if you say that to certain people they take it as an invite for a fight so he came back to us and threw a punch to my friend, but he missed. -hurray for reflexes- And I was really like O__O but then the friend of the attacker came and held back his drunk friend and told us to get going so we did. After the whole incident we took a train to the Airport - quietest place we could find - and ate our dinner at the Burger King.. - Me, whose not such a fan of BK just settled with a long chicken and an Oreo Shake - After two hours of sitting/talking/eating we all parted ways and headed back home.
To summarize the story ; It was fun hanging out with my friends but I hate large crowds.. I don't even know why I bother to go out every year and do the same damn thing.

- Queensday is a Dutch national holiday on which we celebrate the queen's birthday, even though she's not our queen anymore and not even alive we are too lazy to change the date. =P There are a lot of parties going on indoors and mostly outdoors and people selling their old junk everywhere and food stands can be found everywhere too. And the most annoying one: drunk people EVERYWHERE :/ -[/size] · close
Yup, an epic battle it was indeed. I'll start from the beginning.
The name of the main person in this story wants to remain anonymous so his name will be Carrot-san. I have no idea why, the word carrot just popped into my head.

I finished work early today so I thought I should drop by my best friend because I havent seen him in a while. So after we caught up with eachothers lives we decided to watch a series on his computer called Noah's Arc. If you are unfamiliar with it it's about Gay romance/drama. Yes, the guy is gay..
Anyways, he felt like having a smoke and so he did and he also instructed me to open up the balcony door so that the room wouldn't smell too much like cigarattes. 2 Minutes after I've opened the door some big ass mosquitto found it's way in the room and Carrot-san spotted him first so he ran away. I was startled by his behaviour so I ran after him without knowing what was going on. After I took a peek back into his room I saw the nasty insect and was happy that my instincts told me to run even though I didn't know what I was running away from.
So we stood there by the door opening scared to death and thinking what we should do next. His younger sister (10) showed up and she was like: Omg, ya'll are pussies, are you afraid of that little thing !?! So Carrot-san was like: Oh you're not afraid, you deal with it, while pushing his little sister into his room. I had a hunch that she was just all talk and my hunch was right, she ran back out again in deep terror. x___x
After staring at the beast for a while I told Carrot-san to use his deodorant to chase it out, bad idea.. I'm still coughing up his Axe and it didn't work. At least his room didn't smell like smokes anymore. So his little sister came up with a better idea, she brought us a... dang, I forgot the English word for it, but it's like a Fly Killing flat thingie. Whatever, so Carrot-san decided to use that as his weapon, good choice, since that's what it's made for. Anyways, he was too scared to go into his room and to kill it so he just stood there with that thing in his hand in a defense mode staring at it. I, on the other hand, wasn't that afraid to go back in.. as long as did not come near me I was fine. He handed the thing over to me and so I tried killing it, but I failed. He was too high and I'm only 1.63m. I guess the mosquitto got mad because he flew towards me like it was going to do kamekaze or something so I fled the scene. As I ran away we both lost track of it so we thought it was gone. I closed the balcony door thinking it found it's way out and we both took our seats again behind the pc. We were wrong! The thing was just hiding behind some books and came out of it's hiding place to get us! So Carrot-san freaked out, pushing me against the wall and him backing up so I was being sandwiched between him and the wall, screaming at the mosquitto that it should stay away from him ( which cracked me up btw XD!!). After flying around the mosquitto decided to settle on his wall and Carrot-san ordered me to hit it. So after a hit and run ( Yes, I smacked the thing and then ran for it ) it fell down but I wasn't sure if I had killed it. So after a safety check ( from a distance ) we could see it lying on the floor, still moving. Carrot-san suddenly got confident and eventually killed it.
I found this very amusing.. I mean, this big guy scared of an insect.. ( it was a nasty soab, nonetheless but I'm a little girl XD )
Ahh~ just felt like sharing this. · close
You can't trust people, period! Yes, I'm very pissed, I'm sorry.But once again my trust in people has been shattered and this will be the last time! ( I hope, knowing me I will believe in others soon enough -__- ) I'm starting to believe I'm better of living in a cave or something with no contact with the outside world. -___- Ok, overreaction, I know, but's that's just the way I feel atm.

Hi JPA-lovers!
If any of you has read my last journal of '08 you might know that I wrote about my best friend who has been through a rough year thanks to her parents. Telling her that she's fat and that she should train more and eat less and blablabla~
Anyways, it seems that my mom and her parents have been meeting in private or something because all of a sudden my mom is on my ass about me getting fat and such.

Hi JPA-lovers!
If any of you has read my last journal of '08 you might know that I wrote about my best friend who has been through a rough year thanks to her parents. Telling her that she's fat and that she should train more and eat less and blablabla~
Anyways, it seems that my mom and her parents have been meeting in private or something because all of a sudden my mom is on my ass about me getting fat and such.
I mean, I know I've let myself go last year also due to my ex who kept telling me I looked good no matter what ( And I didn't even pay him to tell me that o.o ). So yes I've become a bit chubby, but I don't need you to tell me that, I've got eyes ya know~
So after last night I became really pissed and am now refusing to eat anything related to candy ( which is fine, I don't like candy), fastfood ( No more fries, NOOOZ D: ) and other unhealthy stuff. So, I had to say goodbye to my precious chocolate.. *sob* and my mom is pretty mean, she came home today with nuts covered in chocolate, I LOVE THOSE! And she offered me some but I kept my cool and said: No~ and walked off. And she also bought my fave chips..she's being very evil. 
But I will make it, I will lose those extra pounds no matter what.. and since I'm too embarrassed to go to the Gym I asked my dad if I could borrow his hometrainer so I can train in the privacy of my own room while listening to the greatest Jpop and Kpop songs~ Never thought losing weight could be this fun. =P
Anyways, that's all I wanted to share with you all for now.

Yay, Valentines day is almost here. Normally I would be all depressed because everyone around me is busy on that day leaving me with..just myself. I mean, even my younger brother has something to do every year and he will be 13 in June!!
So I kinda felt lonely on that day. But tomorrow will be different.
I know it's harsh to say but this time I wont be the only one out of my friends group without somebody on that day. And since he didn't want to feel lonely either he asked me whether...

I know it's harsh to say but this time I wont be the only one out of my friends group without somebody on that day. And since he didn't want to feel lonely either he asked me whether I had a Valentine or not and if I hadn't if I wanted to go spend the day at his place making Sushi! Yum~~ So that's I'm gonna do. 
So now I wanna know what are you guys going to do??
Let me know if you feel like it.

I just wanted to share my happiness with all of you.
My brother just had his baby so this means I'm an aunt now. I still can't believe it. I've just known him for almost a year and now and just got used to the fact that I have an older brother and now I have to get used to the fact that I'm an aunt. Everything goes fast all of a sudden. But, that doesn't stop me from being happy for him and his wife.
They have a healthy baby girl named Lesley Eli...

They have a healthy baby girl named Lesley Elizabeth and if she looks anything like my brother I think she's gorgeous! ( haven't seen his wife..)
It's a shame that they live on a different continent or else I would've been with them and be all over them and the baby ( I love the smell of babies.. ).
So yea, that's just what I wanted to share with you guys. 
P.s: My dad hates it to be called "grandpa" ahh.. something else to tease him with. :laughing: · close
.. and I'm darn happy about it!!!
This year... well, it started rough, my mom hating me.. I had a !@##$@ job at the time and I didn't go to school and I was dating some guy I wish I never met in the first place -___- but hey, you make mistakes and learn from them.
My friends also experienced some roughness wich affected me too ofcourse. One got kicked out of the house and his boyfriend at the time just dumped him because 'he didn't knew how to handle it'. -___- My othe...

My friends also experienced some roughness wich affected me too ofcourse. One got kicked out of the house and his boyfriend at the time just dumped him because 'he didn't knew how to handle it'. -___- My other friend had a rough time with her parents. Her parents are health freaks. And yes it's natural for a parent to be concerned about your child's health/weight/whatever. But calling them names cause they are a size more is a bit far from natural, like hell, she isn't even fat. She just isn't as skinny as those models on tv who look like boys anyways, that's how flat they are >___>. Oh, I almost forgot. One I thought she was a good friend went behind my back and fooled around with the guy I liked and appearantly badmouthing me. :/
Well, those were basicly the first few months of the year..
I started a new job, got back into school and I broke up with the guy. My male friend talked it over with his family and is now living with them again. And my other friend.. well.. it's getting better and I will always be there to support her and my other friends. I got to meet a lot of people though this year, both in real life and here on jpopasia which I'm thankfull for.
So in short, this was my year..
Christmas was normal over here.. just quiet with mom and little bro. I hope the rest of you also had a nice Christmas.
Well.. this was the last journal for this year I wish all of you the best of the best in the next year! Don't play around with fireworks 
Much love, MP. · close
