Dark Angel turns into an Angry bird

/in /by

A good friend asked me this question today: He said I’ve heard your sister damaged your car. You must’ve been very mad at her aren’t you?

Surprisingly I answered him I didn’t.

What?! You didn’t? We all know that you take good care of your precious Dark Angel.

Do you know why?

A lot of friends would think, I have scolded on my sister for damaging my car. But it already have happened you know, and I know she feels sorry about it although she didn’t say it. Beside of that, she already had an car accident in the morning when she picked me up at the airport. So I shouldn’t give her any more than that. But what I really dislike is how she handle things. I mean you can do things wrong, but at least show some responsibility. I mean you could at least make it up or ask what to do right?

Where’s the Dislike button..

 

Reason

/in /by

This afternoon, at a sudden moment, I stopped working. I felt that I should go out and take a break, not a Kitkat. I just shut down my laptop and took the keys and get in the car. I started the motor, lowered the windows and drove around, I had no destination in mind.

If you say nothing does it mean yes? In Western world they say, silence is consent. But that is not true in Asia. At least, if you deal with Chinese people, what they literally say doesn’t always correspond to what they mean. If you don’t say anything about it, does it mean you don’t know what is happening? Don’t be silly. We are no kids anymore.

In this way, I was a bit upset.

You know why my Celica is named ‘Dark Angel’? Of course it matched the color midnight black and it IS a beauty. But perhaps, because she has never left me alone in the dark.
I can go anywhere I want, free as a bird. She will take me there. Because she is listening. While driving, I had some flashbacks. Another matter, I have some things still need to be cleared up with a girlfriend of mine. After a row of misunderstandings, we still didn’t talked about it which I find pitiful. The point is that we both care about each other, and the intention is good. But it didn’t went as I wish to. I still believe in it, and I will not give up so easily. I think that is very important to lots of friendships & relationships. Talk to each other.

Now I have a lot of friends. Good friends ya, but sometimes I’m wondering how many of them that I can really hook up for no reason? I think still enough.

Can I bother you for a moment?

What’s the matter?

Not much . . Actually, I don’t have a reason.. why, why do we need a reason to connect. Can we just . .  no.

I can imagine these situations. Well, I should be happy with the result I had.

You know, some people think, I am one big happy guy. Because I am often making fun, happy as I want to be. I mean you can choose to laugh or cry or look very angry, but does it make sense if you do not communicate? Now that is very important to remind yourself. Did I communicated? Is the message delivered as it should. Even the damn news can be distorted, the mass media. And you are talking about some individuals?! Communicate and Listen! This is what I want to be more aware of and hopefully you guys also do that to share or to prevent misunderstanding.

Actually, it doesn’t matter you are rich or poor, lucky or not, everyone has to overcome difficult situations and manage to solve problems. That is the reality of life! For example if I only post good news, you will never notice what I really went through except the good things. So, what I want to say is to be aware of this issue.

I often ask people, what cost it to be happy? Think about that.

I grew up surrounded by friends, which makes me very lucky. To me, friends are valuable. It is a very important part of my life. It gives more meaning to life sharing stories, helping eachother and remembering the precious moments. I can’t imagine the situation when people are looking for friends but they don’t have any. It must me a terrible feeling. I would recommend everyone to go out and seek. And very important, notice your current friends. Make some time free for your old friends and stay in touch.

What kind of person are you?

After a very nice dinner you noticed the delicious flavor and wrote it down.

A) You will only stick to that flavor.

B) You will try new flavors when offered.

C) You will seek new flavors.

I’m a curious person, so that makes me definitely a C. I enjoy the process of discovering new flavors, and I like to share and connect them. In this way you are not close or self-minded.

Last time I’m busy with lots of activities, so it could happen that I haven’t talk to you for a while. But you can always call me. Hopefully some can follow me via blogs and facebook. I ask your understanding. And for the silent readers out there, thank you for reading. I don’t mind if you show up a bit =)

Limbo adventure

/in /by

Today I went to Limbo. After a talk with the mentor, she guided us to the operation area. It was a new experience to me, getting in to the Avatar space craft 770 C is really exciting. Although, the machine is really high-tech with a futuristic design, I was actually not confident enough to leave my body with it. Helen is more experienced, so she took good care of me. Still I requested another safety guide and then we prepared for the operation.

We were divided in separate rooms next to each other. Our body were creamed in to prevent dehydration. After putting on the UV safety goggles we were ready to go. Then the door closed, the craft vibrated and the motor started to work, the noise increased. The sound of wind blowing in your ear. Then a woman’s voice guides me through the control panel. The speed and direction is controlled by your mind. I felt I was traveling at a high speed, it was not indicated at the display. I closed my eyes and relax. Soon I was in another dimension, my dream. I see images flyby like a film roll form, it looks like a futuristic advanced society. I see a big screen in front of me. I see aCreations broadcasting it’s own programs on Tv, running their own game show. Producing their own movies. Our name spread through the world. A lot of movie making, fun, and work for everybody.  I see people on the set working for our productions. I took the sport car and drove to our sportcenter in town. We have a sushi diner at our restaurant. Back in the penthouse I dive into the swimming pool where we have a party. The motor is turned down and the session was completed. Helen was waiting for me to check out.

I think none of you could guess right what I went through except Helen cause she was with me. Yeah this was my fantasy.

How would you feel if you are woken up like this by 2 crazy fun making monster girls at 3 a.m. when you need to get up early . .

As the cold wind whooshes over The Netherlands, my leather jacket is not enough to keep me warm. So I needed a padded winter jacket. There was not much choice downtown, so I went online shopping like Yesstyle and Zipia. Both have fashionable clothes. But I can’t wait 2 – 3 weeks . . So I decided to have a try in Rotterdam city.

Finally I have chosen for the jacket @ River Island. But unfortunately my size has been sold out. So therefore I need to travel to Amsterdam and I bought the last one!

Today is a special day. I was dropped out somewhere near the shopping district of Amsterdam. After a walk I get lost for a bit. The streets are small and gray, groups of guys hanging out. It was not a good feeling. Then I saw the neon sign writing Gay bar and I immediately switched my direction and walked away. Somehow, without noticing I was walking through the streets of the red light district, I said to myself, how did I came here . . ?! All of a sudden, some police officers were frisking a lady at the end of the street, she was barely clothed. It was a kind of strange situation but I told the officers that I am lost and could use some help and so they directed me to the right direction.

For the winter months I have to prepare Dark Angel and provide her with the best stuff to keep the ride nice and smooth. So I ordered one of the best quality brands in motor oil, it cost me 65 euro’s, this should be enough for the usage of a year.

Good news, good news! As you maybe know, Dark Angel got hit 2 months ago at the parking lot. See:

Porsche Ugly, Celica Beauty.

I claimed the damage at my insurance company, and the case was handed over to the Waarborg Fonds. An organisation in the Netherlands to help damages which are caused by a stolen vehicle or unknown vehicle where the driver left the situation without notice. A lot didn’t believed that the damage would be covered, even my father had no hope for it after 2 months. I also heard that it was quite strict and not easy to get their support. But I did it! I DID IT =D   I GOT THE MESSAGE, I CAN NOW GET DARK ANGEL TO THE BODY SHOP. YEEEEHAAAAA

A friend of mine said to me, you have just used ‘The law of attraction’. I do believe in the law of attraction =P
