If I Agreed, We'd Both Be Wrong

Desserts... I LOVE desserts. If only I could eat them all day. Unfortunately, that wouldn't be a good thing to do, now would it? And secondly, I might not enjoy them as much as I do now after eating only desserts for a couple of days. Bummer.

Seriously, I wonder why in most restaurants they prepare the most delicious main courses, but a lousy vanilla ice cream with some canned fruit and whipped cream if you are lucky. That 'sweird, ain't it? I don't believe it is so hard to prepare a proper dessert. I mean, even I could do it.

Of course, in good restaurants (probably with Michelin stars) they do have perfect desserts. As they should. I am not the most critical person in the world (sort of), but I already dislike the restaurant if the desserts are too simple (and boring). No matter how good the rest is. To me is the dessert just as important as the main course, so why discriminate it?

A few simple tips for nice desserts.

- Avoid vanilla ice cream (especially when not homemade)

- Use the internet to search for recipes.

- Make different sorts. Some people not like dairy products, others want fruits, some people like sweet desserts and others prefer some ice cream.

I'm going to end this post now, 'cause it makes me hungry. I know this post is useless and doesn't really make sense. Think of it what you want. I want to remind you that this is my opinion and that you don't necessarily need to agree with me.

How To Stop My Brain From Falling Apart

Sometimes it is so easy to forget things. To stop thinking and carry on with your ordinary life. Sorry for my lack of posting. But I needed to focus on my schoolwork, because this year I get some tests at the end of the school year about the whole book, and if you don't pay attention in the beginning, you're screwed. That's why. Still sorry. But you'll forgive me, right? That's enough about school for now.

Rain. Rain. Rain. It can't stop raining. Past month it has rained cats and dogs (that's a weird idiom, by the way). Some days seemed hopeful and sunny, but the next day was as rainy as all others before. It makes me sad (and wet). Plants seem to like the rain, but they're the only ones. Birds desperately seek a place to stay dry, people prefer to take the car, even for the short rides and cats stay inside, afraid of the rain. Still life continues as if it were an ordinary sunny day. But then with more wet people arriving at school/work.

After all, without the rain, there would be no rainbow "

What about the global warming? I haven't really noticed anything. They keep saying the Earth is in danger and that the temperature will rise, but why doesn't that really influence the weather here, in the Netherlands? Not that I think the Greenhouse effect is bullshit, but sometimes I wonder whether it is really as bad and as dangerous as they say.

Bye. Oh, and before I forget: the monster says hi.

I'm Glad I'm Not A Train 'Cause I Lost Track

August already started 11 days ago, but I hadn't realized that until today. Funny how I can loose track of time when I have no (daily) obligations for a long while. I love that feeling. Not caring about anything and only doing whatever I like.

The picture shows the sunset + me and a friend trying to make a heart. I have to admit, this picture was taken quite a while ago, but it shows exactly how I feel.

I hope your holidays are interesting and that all of you have a good time.

Bye.

When Everybody Goes Left, I Turn Right

Hello. Long time no posts. Not because I had no time, just because I was on vacation in Sweden. There they don't have Internet everywhere, so posting wasn't possible. But I assume nobody got hurt due to my lack of posting.

Almost everyone I know went to the South this summer, but I didn't. Like i said, I went to Sweden. Boy, do I love that country. The beautiful nature, the friendly people, the funny language - everything. I wouldn't mind going there every summer.

Fortunately the holiday hasn't ended yet, so I have loads of time left to have fun with my friends. At the moment I don't have any interesting pictures to post, but they'll come soon!

I hope you all have/had a nice holiday.

Pretend That Airplanes Are Like Shooting Stars

" I could use a dream

Or a genie or a wish

To go back to a place

Much simpler than this

'Cause after all the partyin'

And smashin' and crashin'

And all the glitz 

And glam and the fashion

And all the pandemonium

And all the madness

There comes a time

Where you fade

To the blackness

And when you're staring

At that phone in your lap

And you hopin'

But them people

Never call you back

But that's just

How the story unfolds

You get another hand

And soon after you fold

And when your plans unravel

And they sayin'

What would you wish for

If you had one chance

So airplane, airplane

Sorry I'm late

I'm on my way

So don't close that gate

If I don't make that

Then I'll switch my flight

And I'll be right back at it

By the end of the night "
