While the day is still young and the weather gentle looking, I just take some time to update my life abit more to anyone's interest. Even though I don't quite know where to start with.

In four weeks time, I will have to move to our new house, which, thankfully, is only 10 minutes away. For the newcomers or those who don't remember, we need to move due financial issues. Caused by my dad. Who happened to left my mom a few months ago. And he doesn't seem to bother. So. I don't know him any longer, and I won't go into details about him. He's still my dad, but God he's such a disappointment for a father.

So four weeks left! Right now we're patching up the new home, painting the walls, laminating the floor, getting new furniture and everything. For one it might be interesting to move to a new house, and get away from this shithole full of bad memories where the rooms are getting narrower with every drama that still to this day happens because of the divorce. On the other hand, across where I will live lives an old friend of mine. A passing friend, so to speak, one that I havent spoken to for years or have the interest to. There's more background information to that but it's not important to know all. Point is that when I heard where we'll likely move to I felt like HELL and in all places I did NOT want to go there. For that part I'm still not keen on living there.. even if it's just for a year, which will be the case.

School is so-so with me. Alot of stress coming my way everytime, because it's a one year course people usually do two to three years about. So loads of homework, and including new subjects that I haven't had on my old school. So that's quite a hassle, there isn't really enough time to let it all come down on me. Yet I try to manage things, I really do, the end isn't far away. In a week from today I'll have some more tests, and halfway in May will be my finals. And if I pass those.. then I've proven myself once again.. In about two months from today, there will be a massive amount of stress lifted off my shoulders, because about then I'll have it all behind me.

Artwise I've been missing my art mojo quite some lately. I'm totally out of practice right now. I can't draw things straight away properly like I want, usually ending up in frustration and me giving up on it. I need to find a moment of peace and no stress probably, how unlikely that is to happen at this time.

Speaking of which, when I will visit my dear love Ria in a few weeks again, THERE I will find my peace and no stress. It's truly heaven there, being with her, having her close against me, enjoying our time together. It made me forget about *everything* from the above. No school, no divorce, no moving, no nothing. I really can't wait to see her again, she's so much fun to be with..

Hmm.. funny how that goes. There were a few things more that bothered me, but since I took alittle detour thinking about my dear.. I forgot about it all! Well let's call it a wrap then for today and kick my butt outside and enjoy the weather while it lasts. Optimism rules.

Thanks for reading!

Can't let this go by unnoticed.. even though people might find this spamming =P

Just want to let everyone know how incredibly SWEET my love Ria is to me X3. Look at this! She totally surprised me with this today! Catching me off guard, eh? =P

Thus Winter returns with the time of his life.. time.

( The Wonderful Side of Life & Love )

Two things! Yesterday late I had the most wonderful time of talking with my love Ria over the microphone for the first time! Even though she didn't have a microphone (or maybe there is one somewhere on your lappy we don't know yet oO..), it was REALLY priceless and oh so much fun together =] It did got late but I enjoyed every minute of it! <3

Also in about four weeks from now, during Spring Break, we plan on meeting up with eachother in the UK =] I'm looking REALLY much forward to seeing her and have a great time together, but there have be a good few things done prior! I'm sure all will be well when the time is there ;)

Second! A new reference sheet in the making:



Such a pity I have finals next week =\ Means I don't have time to finish it untill next weekend D: Tell me what you think though! I think I finally got him right, and am very pleased about his feet this time!

That's all-

Thanks for reading =]

Whoo! So yesterday was my 21st birthday!

It was alright, nothing hectic, just family and relatives wishing me happy birthday and all =] We had cake and a few drinks and snacks, and talk about anything that crossed the mind.

Predicatble enough, the conversation lead to the divorce of my parents, which was kinda saddening, as it's my birthday afterall. My dad wasn't there, as he told me he wouldn't.

But anywho, all in all it was very enjoyable and I have received a good amount of cash >=D

On an amusing sidenote, in Holland we have an event called 'Sinterklaas'. Literally translated Saint Nicolas. Basically everyone outside the Netherlands know him as Santa Claus, but Santa is a spin-off from Saint Nicolas (done by Coca Cola for promoting their drinks back in early 1900s, no joke). Here's a picture of 'Sinterklaas'. ANYWHO, long story short: the tradition is to put your shoe in front of the fireplace, and next morning Saint Nicolas (read: parents) would've put some sweet and presents in it if you've been good. Now, I've been jokingly complaining to my mom for him not giving me any sweets anymore. But this morning, I found sweets and chocolate in my shoe =|

COMPLAINING HELPS!


Lastly:



It does sound like me funny enough Oo..
