Wanted:

T I M E !

A cold and rainy and free week would be perfect.

I still have to tell you about last Saturday (Supervoices06 - Merry Christmas) and last Sunday (made funny pictures during a walk - I will put them online jaaa). I still have to upload wunderfull pictures of our wedding. I still have to choose pictures of our wedding, print them and send/give them to lots of people. I still have to study German more and practise more. I still have to call some friends - it's been too long!

And now... I have to go to bed. I had too little sleep the past few nights ...

To be continued...

Deutsche Grammatik (2)

Habe bis Seite 42 schon gelesen.... und ja, ich lese echt alles! Ich wusste gar nicht dass es so viele verschiedene Pronomen gibt: Personal-, Reflexiv-, Possessiv-, Demonstrativ-, Relativ- und Interrogativpronomen. Wow. Aber das Schwierigste finde ich noch die Deklination des Substantivs... pffff. Und blöd ist eigentlich das ich alles was ich lese schon weiß, aber es immer noch nicht richtig benutze. Gesucht: Eine große Menge Instinkt, bitte!

Zur gleichen Zeit wird es immer wichtiger dass ich die Deutsche Grammatik richtig gut kenne UND benutze. Also, Lena, vielen Dank, ich brauche das Buch jetzt wirklich. Wir hätten uns nicht später treffen sollen. Ich bin seit kurzem nämlich die „Botschafterin Deutschland“ Vocaal Festival Amusing Hengelo. Klinkt total geil, ne?
Ist es auch.
Heute habe ich den "Chor live" Chefredakteur eine E-Mail geschickt, weil ich in seiner Zeitschrift (Auflage: 135.000 Exemplare!) Werbung machen möchte... bitte drückt mir alle die Daumen dass das klappt!!

Just some news flashes

*FLASH**FLASH**FLASH*

Tonight we got a phonecall from South-Africa. It wasn't Martins sister (she's in South Africa to work in the Krugerparc with wild animals -> to read her story and watch her pictures click HERE), but it was Aryan.

Remember Aryan? Let me refresh your memory:
Don't be afraid - he's actually quite sweet...

He's living in South-Africa with his wife Marga and their 3 months old son Daniel (what a fantastic name ;)). But, they're moving back to the Netherlands this month. First they'll move in with friends because they don't have their own house.. yet. But today, he called us to tell us they've found a house and it's only one block away from our house. If we both stand on our balcony in the future, we'll almost be able to see each other *fun*.

So I guess I'll be invited to wallpaper / paint in a few weeks.

*FLASH**FLASH**FLASH*

I need to translate a text to German. It's a promotional flyer for the next Choir Day in Hengelo. Martin and I offered to help organising it, after we worked as a volunteer during the Choir Day 2006. Apart from choirs and vocal groups from the Netherlands, we want groups from Germany as well. And guess who is slowly becoming the contact to Germany... ;) I can feel it coming...

But, I probably need a little help from my Deutschlehrerin...

*FLASH**FLASH**FLASH*

We lost the volleybal game tonight :/

*FLASH**FLASH**FLASH*

Next week we'll receive the pictures the photographer made during our wedding! We're so curious! We'll probably upload some more pictures to our online photo album next week as well. And for those who are promised to become some pictures: Be patient please, just know I didn't forget about you!

*FLASH**FLASH**FLASH*

No more news. I'm going to bed, good night ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

Deutsche Grammatik (1)

Mit welchem Buch macht man Corine froh? Genau: Grammatik Deutsch kurz und bündig. Vielen Dank an Lena, die mir dieses Buch geschenkt hat. Ab jetzt hier: mehr oder weniger frequent ein kleiner Bericht von mir und meine Suche nach einem fehlerlosen Bericht.
Oder war ich heute schon erfolgreich und ist was hier oben geschrieben steht 100% richtig? *vorsichtigstolzbin*

Ist ja auch nur ein kleiner Bericht von mir heute. Denn ich habe erst bis Seite 18 gelesen und da gabs nicht wirklich viel neues, abgesehen von den Deutschen Grammatik Termini.

*knopfchensuch*
*gehirnaufenglischeinstell*
I need to finish a concert report in English now.
CU next time!

Back home - still tired

Unsere Reise nach Bamberg war einmalig! Wahrscheinlich auch wortwörtlich, denn wann fahrt man nochmals nach Bamberg? ;) (ja, Lena, um dich zu besuchen natürlich!).

Heute war ich frei, und ich saß am Tisch und habe versucht ein Konzertbericht zu schreiben. Das was ich bis jetzt geschrieben habe, hat schon ziemlich gut geklappt, aber fertig ist es noch nicht. Und dann muss ich noch Bilder aussuchen, bearbeiten, einfügen und dann... dann kommt es online. Aber spätenstens am Donnerstag muss es klappen. (Auch weil ich am nächstes WE schon wieder ein anderes Konzert besuche und davon erwartet man natürlich auch einen Bericht haha).

Und zwischendurch habe ich alle liebe Menschen die es in mein Adressbuch gibt eine Email geschrieben. Ich ich hoffe das jetzt alle wissen dass ich eine neue Emailadresse habe. Jetzt muss ich mich nur noch bei den ganzen E-letters neu anmelden: Bodo, Voice Male, theGlue, Montezuma, und noch ein paar (ein paar? ...) andere Gruppen. Oh man.. es ist wirklich nicht praktisch, wenn man heiratet und eine neue Name bekommt ;)
Ich habe mich überlegt, einfach meine alte Adresse zu behalten. Aber ich glaube im Zukunft wird es nur noch Leute geben die mir bei meiner (jetzt noch) neuen Name kennen, und dann wäre es doof wenn ich immer noch die alte Adresse habe.

Ok. Und dann werde ich jetzt WIRKLICH diesen Laptop AUSmachen. Bin immer noch müde vom Wochenende... Schlafen kann man wenn man tot ist, tja... aber ich möchte gerne noch ganz lange leben und nicht schon am Ende der Woche schon tot abkippen ;) Ok, ahum... das war vielleicht ein bisschen zu ..
Ich brauche eine Dusche und dann eine Kanne heiße Tee und dann noch ein bisschen TV. Da fängt nämlich heute Abend eine Serie an die ich folgen will. Mal sehen ob mir das endlich mal gelingt...

Rock Bamberg

Ich suche den Weg nach Bamberg. Wo liegt das eigentlich? ;) Ach, nur 500 km von hier, das schaffen wir. Wie immer suche ich mit map24.de weil wir noch kein Navigationssystem im Auto haben und unmodern mit einer papieren Landkarte navigieren werden. Aber sch*** ... mist! Map24 hat eine neue Suchfunktion und es funktioniert gar nicht.

[30 Minuten später]

Aaaaah, das funktioniert nicht in Firefox, aber nur in IE... *seufz*
Ok, suchen wir weiter.

*such*such*

Ok, über Bielefeld (In Bielefeld??? *g*) und Kassel! Kassel, du bist für mich der Traum aus Asphalt, nie zu nass und nie zu trocken, nie zu warm und nie zu kalt *kicher* Aber warum ist die 33 bei Bielefeld immer noch nicht fertig?? Das wäre viel einfacher. Jetzt sieht die Wegbeschreibung rundum Bielefeld ganz kompliziert aus... aber... wir kommen dann auch quasi (quasi? *lol*) über Gütersloh, das ist auch so ein schöner Stadt. Da warmanomma am Freitag ;) *SHOWTIME*!

Na, wir werden mal sehen. Das klappt bestimmt.
Rock Bamberg!!!!! Here we come :D

Welcome to november

And welcome to 8 degrees Celcius brrrrrrr

Today I rediscovered why I need a new winter coat. Not only because it's 4 (or 5?) years old already, but also because last year the zipper broke.... I forgot about it.

Only one question remains: When do I have time to go shopping? :/

Sunday, October 29, 2006

Happy messy busy me :)

A small reminder for myself. Who else cares? ;)
Things to do tomorrow:

- Upload my report to corine.located.nl
- Water the plants
- Tidy up the house (or maybe later?....)
- Buy hay for McDull
- Print a route description to Bamberg

- Make hot chocolate (this may seem weird, but it's really important, because I need a picture of hot chocolate)
- Make a picture of hot chocolate
- Drink cold chocolate
- Stay just as happy as today and yesterday and the day before :D

The first wedding pictures

The pictures of the wedding itself are made by a professional photographer and we haven't seen them yet. That will take a while. But our driver made some pictures during the photoshooting and Remco made many pictures during the party in the evening. Click the picture below to see a selection of them.

From the ABC

"W"? ;)


My friends made us an ABC-movie, which was very funny. And why Montezuma's Revenge is put under "W" ???...... complicated story.
And they probably didn't know Martin made the picture... hahahaha

Does somebody need a translation?

Thanks :)


We only need to get rid of some balloons...... ;)
We decided not to wake the neighbours at 02.30 this night hahaha.

What a great party yesterday! There'll be pictures online later this week, I guess. And if I can, I'll put a short movie online in a few weeks as well... but I can't promise that.

It's the 15th of October! Really weird; the world doesn't stop after the 14th! haha. There are plenty of things to look forward to right now. Things I haven't been thinking about yet, because everything was about the wedding during the past few weeks.

More about the wedding later.
Unforgettable!

Ich will auch!

Ein bisschen weiter nördlich bitte! Die Schweiz ist so weit weg!! Aber Neumünster ist dann doch ein bisschen zu weit nördlich.... *seufz*
Naja, auf jeden Fall ein schönes Artikel (hier zu lesen). Die Jungs muss ich echt mal wieder sehen...

Und was habe ich gestern entdeckt: Am 3.11 macht LaLeLu ein Konzert in Gronau! Das ist fast bei mir um die Ecke! Aber hingehen kann ich nicht *grrrrrr*

Naja, singen wir halt eine Runde *tsjeng*tsjeng* und pfeifen fröhlich in die Gegend herum weil das Wetter so schön ist und weil ich trotz oben genannte "verdammt-ich-kann-nicht-hingehen" verdammt glücklich bin :)
So. Und das war ein langer Satz. (Ich kanns auch lena!)

Und jetzt ins Bett. Sonst schreibe ich nur noch dummes Zeug weil ich mich langweile.

Me and my pretty shoes - III

The solution?:

More than 5 euro's.... expectations are high.

Vla - the neverending story

My story about German people and vla. Will it never end?

Summary:

- Wise Guys in Münster, March 2005: Dän brings vla for the winner of the quiz. Ferenc is the lucky one. This concert is the reason of the following events:

- Wise Guys Tanzbrunnen concert, May 2005: Martin and I bring vla for some people we know from the Wise Guys forum. Our vlaparty on the banks of the Rhein is still making us smile.

- Wise Guys forum meeting, KusS, July 2005: I bring 4 liters of vla and everybody loves me.

- Wise Guys in Wesel, December 2005: Dän brings me a signed DVD from Bodo Wartke and I give him vla. His reaction: "GEIL!!!" and he looks like a 10-year old having a birthday party.

And ever since, I can't get rid of the topic 'vla'. Right now, there even is a Grüße an alle Vla Liefhaber in the Wise Guys Forum.

And today I discoverd a website which is -for me- too funny. ProVla, a German fansite for vla hahahahahahahaha. This website is a little older, but the fact that it exists hahaha. Ok, I'm curious what will come up next.
At least, I have to make a vla delivery in Bamberg this november.
@lena: Wie viele Tetrapacken möchtest du haben?

I'm wondering if I should bring some liters for the Wise Guys as well? Would they prefer vla after the show in stead of their Kölsch? ;)

To be continued....

Me and my pretty shoes - II

I wrote "Part 1", so there should be a part 2 as well. And I've got to hurry, because there's not much time left.

I'm happy because we came up with the idea I can easily wear my old, durty but nice and most important comfortable sporting shoes under the wedding dress during the foto shooting. You won't see my shoes anyway, so why bother wearing those beautiful but uncomfortable shoes? So that means I only have to wear them from 1400 until late in the evening, instead of from 1100 until late in the evening. Three hours of feet relief. How beautiful ;)

I do practise almost daily, but my left foot seems to be a little bigger and aaaaarg, well, who cares.

How do you feel? That's a question I'm being asked a lot lately. So here's my answer: I feel great. Just great. And I feel so much in love :) I'm not nervous (yet?), I'm looking forward to the wedding so much. I'm curious what it'll feel like, to be in the spotlights all day. Well... we'll see. Just wait. Be patient.. haha

Is there a better way to start your weekend?

Imagine a long, hard day at work. You go home, tired, but really happy because it's weekend! And you are going to have a great weekend, you already know ;)
But then, your weekend gets even better! When you get home, you find an envelop on your doormat with a familiair handwriting. You recognise it as Nico Jacobs' (Rock4) handwriting and what do you do? You can't believe what you see. He's never been this quick! You only ordered this cd last Tuesday!
But things like this happen :D
He must have known it's my birtyday tomorrow ;)
And Martin is happy as well, because he didn't have a birthday present yet, and now he does. He happy + me happy = we happy!

Btw: The album is just great! I really love their music. Order it here! -->"A Night at the Opera"

Message from the busy me

I'm sorry, the English translation of the report of Montezuma's concert from last Sunday will have to wait a little longer. I'll try to write it this weekend, but I'm not sure if I can find enough time. Also, some people wrote me an email and are probably waiting for an answer, I'll write you as soon as possible. At the moment there are more important things to be done ;)
You all understand, right? :D

But, I can tell you I am feeling really, really good and happy. Life is just great!

Oh, and one more thing I want to share with you: This month, there are so many people visiting my website. Ok, it's nothing compared to big websites, but nevertheless still impressing to me. The amount of unique visitors and the number of visits has doubled this month! Why? I don't know. But I like it :D It's a pity a day only has got 24 hours. I've got so many ideas for my website: Things to write, things to add. I need time, you need patience. It'll come in time :)

Time to go to bed. Still got to catch up some sleep.
Love ya all!

Happy Birthday to me!!!!

Oooooh, I only have 30 minutes to celebrate my first birthday! I only just found out about my birthday. What a coincidence, isn't it. Well, here we go, all together now:
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me-ee, happy birthday to this blog!
