Vandaag laat ik je zien hoe ik, goedkoop en gezond, vegetarische maalijden inplan. Elke woensdag ontvang ik een e-mail van Wakker Dier met alle reclame aanbiedingen van vleesvervangers, biologisch vlees, biologische eieren en zuivel. Ik eet niet altijd kant en klare vleesvervangers, omdat ik ze niet altijd even heerlijk vind. Mijn boodschappenbudget is sinds 1 januari gekrompen naar € 200,- per

Like many others I have made a list for 2012. One of the goals is to be a parttime vegetarian this year (183 days). At least for dinner time. Till now I've managed to eat vegetarian 13 out of 18 days. Today I had a break down. I felt overwhelmed by all the ingredients for a recipe. I suddenly craved for meat.:( I ate some leftover chop suey and (bought in bulk) steake tartare. I felt like I was

I'm a bit busy with christmas decorationg on the cheap.I'm recycling the wrapping foil and strings from J & M's birthday gift so nothing goes to waste here.:) I'm really not a girly girl. So whenever people ask me to help them to decorate something I'm gone in 1 second in Road Runner style (meep, meep). Don't get me wrong I like decorated windows during christmas.

Question: Why do they sell disgusting food wrapped in super cute/sophisticated paper at Asian markets? Answer: So that wannabe Asians like me would buy them for lots and lots of money. I didn't check which flavour it was before I bought it. I just bought it because of the colour ... But you can't deny it's damn cute!

Living in a city has its benefits, there is always something going on. It took me some years to build up some courage to go out on my own.

To me this video also shows the history of feminism. In the Netherlands women have fought over more than 100 years for equal rights. Before 1957 Dutch women were ought to stop working after they were married. Since 1991 spousal rape was a crime. And less than three decades ago, women were allowed to have their own bank account in The Netherlands. In the past one thing was for sure. You were

Afgelopen dinsdag heb ik 'The social network' in een sneak preview gezien. Een film over de opkomst van Facebook. Voor diegenen die onder een kei wonen. Dit is wat Wikipedia over Facebook zegt:Facebook is een sociaalnetwerksite voor onder andere scholieren, studenten en werknemers. Het wordt wereldwijd gebruikt en is zeer populair onder studenten. Sinds mei 2008 bestaat er een Nederlandstalige

Someone asked me why I was down. Last week I took a week off to prepare for a job interview. I needed to do some tests and it was an opportunity to make more money per hour. But that didn't work out so in the meantime I've been replaced for my former job. That means I didn't have work for two weeks. Work was one of the biggest reason for me to get up in the morning. I know it sounds really

I felt a bit down this week. I had to make some choices which could change my current life a bit. I took a week off since I wasn't 100% fit either. That's the beauty of freelance work I can work whenever I want. The downside, no work no money. But I don't worry about money, it's just money.Bff RJ needed a new jacket and I needed some good food. So first we went to the Stenden studentlounge. A

This morning I went to the ecumenical service from the catholics church at the care centre for people with special needs 'Op de bies' and the protestant church of Landgraaf. The service started with a procession, a walk around the care centre. I use to go to high school near the care centre but never step foot on the place. So I didn't know what to expect. It looked like a little village with

Last friday I had dinner with my colleagues in Sneek. I'm not sure if you guys from outside The Netherlands know what gourmetten is. So I found out gourmetten is actually typical Dutch. It's like raclette but instead of cheese we fry meat, fish or vegan stuff. Last friday we went old skool and used denatured alcohol stoves instead of electric grills. It's a Dutch tradition to do gourmetten when

The first time I met you, I was attracted to your great smell. Later on you supported me through college and we've pulled a lot of all nighters together. But after all these years I realize you only wanted me to want you. There was no love, I became addicted to you. Quality time became cheap minutes of satisfaction. You almost ruined my vacation in Hamburg. It has been 9 weeks since I felt your

Een gebied tussen Huizum en de stad Leeuwarden.It has a really cute play ground that looks like an island surrounded by water.

Today everyone in The Netherlands is volunteering to give money or their time to help the survivors in Haiti so that they can heal and build on their future. Even though we complain about our stupid problems now and then, we do care about others. Tonight the government will double the amount of money we collect together as one country.

Happy new year everyone. I have no resolutions for this year cause I feel quite blessed by the big dude. I remember I made some bad ones with Michelle last year. I hope for the both of us we burnt our lists. Hope she's doing well in Israel serving Jesus. Well for now I just want to share a list for those (and myself) who have some stress now and then. Found this list on common ground consulting.

The NHL University made plans to move to a new location some years ago. They are going to move house in December. So the NHL University must have thought, "Hey, a new location means a new start. We need a new corporate style." During the summer the school gave a sneak preview of the new flag on their site. They got to be kidding us, was my first thought, because it looked so cheap.

Two weeks ago I was in Paris with my parents and siblings. The weather was very bad as you can see in the following video. Normally I don't speak English like that. I was doing my bad French accent. On the way to Paris the bus driver told us the city of Liège (Belgium) has a metro network but it's never been used for public transport.*Bummer*I don't really like Paris, it's really touristy.

Two years ago I discovered I was living in a world with rules created by other people. I felt like I was dead inside. For the third time I was told by someone, I (thought) I loved, the love was gone. My finances were crap. My career planning was a mess and my inner child was seriously injured. I stopped talking to people, stopped eating and stopped contacting family. And just that because a guy

Looks like I just used crack before that picture was taken. I hate those new rules for ID pictures. You're not allowed to smile and they use a flashlight like I'm at the dentist which would even make coloured people look like they are going to vomit any moment. Fortunately the picture is in black and white. In colour I would have demanded for a new picture.:)Hmm, I'm thinking of going to Berlin.:

De meest wijze les die ik op de HEAO geleerd heb, is de bedrijfseconomische regel:Als een bedrijf financieel ongezond is dan moet het of meer omzet maken of besparen. Ik probeer van allebei wat te doen. Een tijdje terug was ik op zoek naar restitutiekaartjes van Veolia.

Two weeks ago I had a sleep over at Michelle's but that didn't go the way we've planned it. I staid at her place for a week. Well, her window got damaged three times.

Some while ago I posted a post about hitchhiking and in the post there was a picture with me posing in front of a car from a guy who offered Majka and me a ride from Utrecht to Weert (NL). A month ago I watched the news and he was on it. He won a price for the best business man with a small company of the year 2008. I was very happy for him cause he really deserves it.

Currently I'm reading the book 'The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self'. My teacher lend it to me once. It took me a long time to get to page 63 because I'm not familiar with a lot of phychological terms.

Hopefully we don't feel the urge to kill each other this year. Too tired to blog. Worked all morning and took a long stroll on the beach with two colleagues. After the walk we drank hot cocoa with whip cream. Gah, I've spent my well earned money on an overpriced drink.

In my family it's a known fact that I'm not fond of getting Winnie the Pooh stuff. I don't hate the little guy. I like the original version much better and I only bought a book with rhymes about him once. I guess my grandmother saw the book and thought I was a Winnie the Pooh fan or whatever.

How to hitchhike:1. Decide where you want to go to.2. Buy food and drinks for one day.3. Pack light. Most of the time you are waiting for someone to pick you up. Don't expect everyone will pick you up and don't accept every ride. Not everyone has good intention and yes some people drink while driving. So as long if it's not neccesary, you can leave the stuff at home.4.. Cut out some big
