The life I live

It's a cold and wet day again outside and at work everything is as quiet as it can be. Im really looking forward to the summer I can tell you.

Last week I went to see Mamma Mia, and I had a great night. The story off course is really thin and so so... but seeing John Vooijs in just his underwear is a GREAT bonus.lol I have to say John is a great Sky and I loved Lone van Roosendaal as Donna. Being named one of the best Donna's by the men of ABBA I can see why. She is really doing a great job.

In April the cast of HAIR is moving from Broadway to West end, and I booked myself a weekend to London to see the show in the first weekend of May. So excited. I just am waiting for my paycheck at the end of the month before I actually buy the ticket but I can't wait. Everyday Im checking to see if they announced yet which of the actors are moving to West end. Im just happy Gavin Creel is already 100% comfirmed :)

In other musical news.. yesterday was the yearly presentation of Stage Entertainment, one of the biggest musicals producers here in the Netherlands. They announced that in the coming years Wicked, Billy Elliot, Jersey Boys, Zorro, Spring Awakening and Next to Normal will come to the Netherlands. Especially the last two Im excited/curious about. The next season we can enjoy musicals like Into the Woods, Mary Poppins and Legally Blonde. So excited.....

How long can a winter be?? As the snow and cold started in mid December, it is still going strong. First I thought it was over, until I woke up sunday morning and the landscape was white with snow again. The weather forcast says it is -5 degrees celsius but believe me it feels like -20 degrees celsius. Even my thick winterjacket couldnt stop the cold. As I told my mom this sunday Im kinda tired of all the winterweather. Don't get me wrong. I love snow and cold....when Im on vacation and skie the whole day. Not when im at home and I need to travel to work and other places through this weather. As long as there is snow I refuse to take my bike so I need to do anything by foot or public transport. I just wish it was summer. A little warm weather is not bad, isn't it?

On a quiet day at work you can do a lot of things for your own.lol. My body is still tired as hell due to the sleepingpattern of the last few days. The day before yesterday I couldnt sleep and in the end I only got 4 hours of sleep. Last night I fell asleep around 9 and 9 hours of sleep. 9 is good, but I feel that my body needs more.

At work everything is quiet. The whole day Im listening to radio 555. A collaboration of like 5 or 6 radiostations to raise as much money for the victums in Haiti. Tonight there will be a telethon with the 3 major networks. I haven't donated yet, but I will as soon as I am done with work. However I bought a ticket for "Musicals Helps". This benefit concert of the biggest musicalactors and actresses in the Netherlands will give all the money that they raise to the victums. Im really supportive with this and I bet I will have a great night.

I also wrote a new letter to apply for a job. Two weekends ago I had a jobinterview but I didn't get hired because there was someone else with more experience. You cannot compeed with more experience.

I cant sleep, which is really annoying. I have had this problem for the last three days. I bet i have trouble again with getting up tommorow or would i say this morning. :( i feel sleepy but i cant fall asleep. On top of that i have a bad headache.

Today had been a productive day tho. I cleaned my kitchen and bathroom and threw out a buch of stuff. Tomorrow i need to do the bedroom . Cleaning is no fun but it needs to be done

My love for musicals is still going strong :) At this moment on sundays my evening is going as followed: Eat at the parents, rush home before 8, make huge pot of tea and snuggle in front of the tv to watch "Op zoek naar Mary Poppins." In this show they are looking for the lead of Mary Poppins that is going to be the new open ended musical in the Circus Theatre in Scheveningen. I just love the show and all the actresses are really talented. Unfortunately this coming sunday it is already the finale and my two favourites ,Noortje and Rosalie, are in it. I just hope one of them will win next sunday.

The last two weeks have been busy with work. Because of vacations, I had to work for 2 weeks in Rotterdam and to avoid the travelling two hours each day, I stayed with my boss in her house. You might think that Im crazy for staying with your boss for two weeks, but it was really okay. Altough Im glad im home now.

Last weekend I had a jobinterview for a travelagency and I didn't get the job unfortunately because they found someone else with more experience. Too bad, but it is okay. At this moment I have a small vacation as I am off for 5 days in a row. The first two I spend with being lazy and cleaning a bit. Today I went shopping. Im still surprised that a trip to the mall can get so out of hand with spending money..lol I had to go to the mall because of my check up appointment for my contact lenses and I left the mall with a pair of new glasses, a new sweater, two shirts, a necklace, some new kitchen stuff and 3 dvds (The Reader, Hair and West Side Story). Mind you most of them were on sale but still.. I couldn't resist spending money today.

Happy new year everyone. My very first post of 2010, it is also my very first post in a longgg time.. Sorry for that *hides* Personal life got the best of me with work (and parties). December flew by before I knew it. There were birthday dinners/parties and christmas parties and a lot more. I just cruised through December and before I knew it it was the 31st.

At this moment Im at work (yub they tricked me into working on new years day) and Im tired as hell and hangover. I think i drank a whole bottle of white wine last night and I couldnt sleep because someone had a party outside until 4AM. Tonight it will be a quiet and early night for me. Plans are lying on the couch and watching Ciske de Rat on tv. I can't wait till I have my 4 days off in the middle of January tho. I just want to relax for a few days and do nothing.

This week I also booked my vacation for march. Skieing in Austria. Can't wait altough I realized again it's an expensive thing. For the same price I could go to New York for a week, I just hope I will have a great time.

With the new year there are also resolutions?? Do you have any? Mine is to go to the gym again, post more on lj (lol) and find a new job. For the last one is hope as I have a jobinterview next week. Am curious how that works out. Im going there without expectations so I hope Im less nervous as normal, but you never know how the hell I feel at that moment. I will keep you all posted how it went.

The first post of December. Wow it's going fast. Before we will know it is 2010 people!! Im all in preparations of this holiday month. Last thursday I bought myself some new clothes for the x-mas party at work and at my grandma's and I bought some new x-mas decorations (which resulted into me breaking something while standing in the store...shh don't tell anyone.)Yesterday I decorated my x-mas tree and livingroom and tonight Ill be celebrating Sinterklaas at my parents place. This basiclly means that I will get presents tonight and I sleepover again..hehe

Monday it will be my b-day. One thing you need to know of me and that is that I hate celebrating my b-day. Dunno why but I just do. So this year I just planned to work and than eat with the parents. That was until yesterday, when i got an e-mail from my boss asking if I wanted to work at her shop, celebrate my b-day and than go to dinner with her and another co-worker of mine. So I agreed. Seems that Im going to celebrate my birthday anyway.....

Last night I went to the theatre with my mom as an early b-day present and we saw Simone Kleinsma in concert - Songs from the Heart. Simone Kleinsma is the most famous musical actress in Holland and I just loved the show. For two hours she sang songs from Judy Garland to Mamma Mia and also a beautiful rendition of "Omarm me" from Blof. The best bit tho was the Musical medley she did. I already saw a preview of it when she performed it at the Musical sing a long this year, but last night the medley was three times as long but still great. This is really one of the best birthday gifts i got.



btw is it bad that I know 90% of the songs in the medley?? hehe

It's been awhile since I posted. Atleast a couple of weeks and ive been busy. In the beginning of november I went to Disneyland Paris with a friend of mine and had a blast. Never heard so many christmas carols and never saw so many mickey's in a short amount of time. I had a good time and it has been awhile since Ive been to Disney. Not a lot has changed since I was there. At home im still busy with work. Most of the times we are alone so you are always busy with people walking in for information.

The last few days I also watched the last two episodes of Glee and I still love it. It's just too bad that the Rachel/Puck ship only lasted one episode but hopefully they have more scenes in the new episodes that are coming up. Until then I just read my rachel/puck fanfiction. I hope the show will be shown on dutch tv soon.

I have more things in my mind to write about but at this moment im just blank. New post coming up when my brain is working again....

i just so love this song................

Someone stole my bike today... Im really pissed off at the moment. I got my bike at the age of 12 when I went to the Middelbare school. Like the High School here in the Netherlands. If i need to go somewhere I take my bike... now I cant anymore :( I was surprised as hell when I found out my bike was gone... I mean who wants a rusty bike with ugly bags on the back wheel??? Now I need to buy a new one, altough I think Im going to see if I can get a second hand one. I mean... I still live in Holland and I still need to go to the trainstation with it and millions of bikes get stolen here. i just dont want to buy a new one (which are pretty expensive btw) and then get it stolen again.

I am officially 100% tottally out of my mind bored at this time. Im at work and absolutely nothing to do. I already cleaned the shop. Im sitting all alone today with the radio blasting but no one is coming in. Outside it's raining and im just staring at the clock on my computerscreen hoping it is 17.30 already. So 3 and a half hours to go but I feel like its going to be a long afternoon.

I really cannot wait till next week as I will be at the happiest place on earth. Disneyland resort Paris. I got the phonecall yesterday that the vouchers are in but I so cannot wait till monday. We will then take the train and after 5 hours we will be in Disney for the next 4 days. Unfortunately though I heard yesterday that "It's a small world" is closed for renovation I think, which sucks as I just love the ride (eventho the song is annoying as hell)

At the end of the workday my brain is just fried down and all i want to do is catch THE train back home. This resulted today in forgetting my dinner in the fridge at work.(was supposed to eat chicken with pasta from the wok) Now i have to figure out what i am gonna eat now. Im just hungry and tired and i just want to sleep

Another day,another day of work and i never felt tired and cold. Cant wait for my day off tomorrow. I have to clean my whole appartment but still i dont have to work.

I saw the new episode of Glee and i loved it. I really do ship Rachel/Puck together and hope that there will be more scenes between them in later episodes. Now i just need to wait for after my Disney holiday to see new episodes. Cant wait that long.

Did i ever mention i love last minute stuff?? This morning i read online that an actor i like is going on as the lead in the musical Joseph and im working nearby so i decided to see if there were last minute tickets and there was. I got one for just 17 euro's. Deal of the week!!! It really doesnt matter that it is the Third time seeing it. If all musicals were just 17 euros i would go every week

Im back at work again and ohh it's so quiet. Really nothing much to do but Im still happy im not at home anymore. I still have a slight headache but I will live through that. It's good to be out of the house and be somewhere else.

I also decided to be more healthy.. so that means more vegatables and fruit and taking my vitamins each day. i just don't want to get sick anytime soon again, because really being sick scks really really bad

So I little update on my sickness... yub im still sick. Today I went to the doctor's for the second time and I have Sinusitis. I first just got nosespray that didnt work and today I got antibiotics with the nice sideeffect of neusance and no hunger. Great maybe I lose another kg. Since I have been sick almost 2 weeks ago I lost 1 kg and my meals consist of lots of tea and orange juice, toast and soup. Sometimes I eat a plate of "stampot" which is a dutch dish of patatoes and vegetables but than later I will have stomach pain. This sickness takes just too long. I have been at work 2 times and both times I went home sick in the end. Today I was also supposed to work but I stayed home in the end as I was feeling like shit after I came home from work. To be honest Im really sick and tired of all this. I just want to work and get this over with. It takes now 2 weeks which is 2 weeks too long.

Fortunately I have episodes of Glee and some clips on youtube of the HairTribe to watch while Im sick. This clip of Gavin Creel at the HRC dinner last weekend made such impact on me..everytime I hear it i need to cry

Im still sick. To be honest today i felt worse than yesterday. After i threw up my dinner today i broke down and called my parents. Mydad picked me up and now im staying with them for a few days. Being single and living on your own is great until you are sick for a week. Than you just feel alone. Since yesterday im coughing realy badly. It's so bad that i couldnt sleep last night. I just wish i was 100% better but i know the coughing will stay for awhile
