Hope everyone had a nice weekend so far. Mine took a tumble literally I'm afraid! Was enjoying myself at my cousin's yesterday, munching on appetizers and having some bubblies, but later in the evening I got incredibly tired. And I was so cold too, even though the heating was on, I was shivering like I was on the North Pole in my underwear. Eventually things took a turn for the worse when I suddenly felt queasy, I thought for a moment I was going to get sick and headed for the bathroom, but it wasn't that my head started spinning and everything turned black and down I went! I fainted for like a moment, it was really scary! Luckily there were lots of people around to take care of me, they took me to the couch to lie down with my legs up and I started feeling less dizzy quickly. It probably was a blood pressure drop, I think my body is still not used to the getting up early and the long days yet after all. I spent the good part of the year sleeping as long as I wanted and doing nothing tiring, and all my temporary jobs were nearby, so not so heavy on me.
Feeling better today, although I'm still a bit lightheaded, my blood pressure must be a little low. I hope it goes up again soon, I hate feeling all woozy and I really don't want to faint again!
Maybe I should eat a giant steak, don't they say iron is good for the blood :D
Well, if anyone has tips let me know!
I hope I get used to the early risings soon, cause it kinda sucks to be tired all weekend, I like going out on a Saturday, but nowadays I'm yawning away by midnight! Perhaps I should stop eating cookies as snacks at work and start picking some healthier snacks to build up the resistance!
My whole eating shedule is totally messed up with the new job, really early breakfast and lunch not till one pm, so I get really hungry before that hence munching on cookies, and I don't get home till 8.20 pm so I usually have a snack on the train as well, otherwise I'm starving. I need munching alternatives!
Well I'm off to go get some fresh air by the sea here, to look at the shops a bit, will do me good!

Saturday, January 22, 2011
I don't know why I am feeling this, maybe because everything happened on the same month last year, we decided our fates, we decided our lives. But I never gave it a thought, like I have done now, everything is clearer than ever. And it isn't pretty. Two days ago, we spoke about you. After I thought about the whole thing, and it makes me sad. It makes me sad, that it was me who came in between. It was me who changed everything. But you got to trust me; I have told you before also I had no idea at all. Back a year and half ago, I just didn't know something like that was there, or that he ever thought about you, before he made a decision about going for me. I just saw you, like the way I saw my past. I assumed things, a lot of things. When I realized you were more to him, and then I was, I didn't give a thought why, but only thought taking your place, in my defense I was in love. I hated you; I hated everything about you, because he liked you, because he trusted you, because he would've chosen to hurt me, but not you. But you know something, he was also in love with me not you, you were never ready to accept it and let him go, I hated you even more for that. You knew him so well, you made him feel guilty, yes you did, and He still thinks it’s his entire fault. I don't hate you anymore, it’s been a year and we both are very happy in our lives. It’s just that at one point, our future inter dependent. What we chose was best thing that for both of us, even you probably realize that.
Geekyness
Hooray it's Saturday! I enjoyed the lack of alarm this morning so much! Unfortunately the weekend is way too short! just one more day of sleeping in :( In hindsight college was a pretty sweet life after all in spite of the exam stress and the looong lectures.
Thought I'd write a little something about my insane love for all things fantasy. As I mentioned before I read a lot, sometimes two a week, if I got some really good books. Most of the books that I own are fantasy books, somehow after reading Lord of the Rings for the first time at 15, I was completely hooked the genre. I love getting lost in a different world, where magical things happen. I love the heroic tales of love and battle, exciting quests, unusual encounters.. If I have a good book, I could read all day non-stop. Some of my favorite authors are, J.R.R. Tolkien (of course, you aren't a true fantasy geek until you have read and loved the brilliance of Tolkien, the founder of all fantasy really), Juliet Marillier (I'll mention her again in a seperate post, her books are all just so beautiful, I really recommend them!), Trudi Canavan, Anne Rice, Charlaine Harris, Terry Brooks, Jacqueline Carey.. Of course there are many more that I have read books of and loved, but I can't remember them all. But if you like fantasy and could use some hints, feel free to ask me, I have many to recommend :D
My love for fantasy doesn't stop at books, you should see my room. (Not right now, its kinda messy :p) I have drawings, made by friends who draw amazingly, of elves, a mermaid and I collect little statues of fairies (hey if guys can collect model cars, I can collect fairies :p, don't judge!)
I also looove going to the fantasy fair in Holland, which takes place every year on castle grounds in April. There are loads of stands with all sorts of fantasy related items, costume contests, battle reenactments, authors and actors come to give autographs, there is all sorts of folk music going on, there's often horses, birds of prey shown and you can even hold them on your arms, which is really cool. You can also drink mead like in the olden days, it's a wine-like drink but made of honey, reeeeally sweet and sticky, it's an acquired taste, I wasn't that fond of it initially.
Lots of people are dressed up, in fantasy characters or beings, or in medieval outfits. Of course I too dress up! I looove doing it, which probably really makes me a geek, but it's so much fun! Here's some pics of me posing around in my forest elf outfit!
Notice the ears! they were hell to take off, the glue really sticks! but you can't be an elf without the ears! It was a really beautiful day for April, we were all really lucky, because elfs and other creatures with umbrella's and jackets would have looked slightly lame (or to you perhaps lamer :p)
I hope I can go again this year, with a better dress (a.k.a. more expensive)
Other European fantasy lovers, really check out this fair, it's a lot of fun. It's called the Elf Fantasy Fair, and it's in Haarzuilens in Holland.
I know fantasy is not for everyone, nor is dressing up, but it's just part of who I am, I love it, I guess it's all about escaping and creating a different more exciting world in your head!
Now off to reality, going to my cousin's for a hopefully nice dinner. You hear me cousin, better be good! I'm a picky eater.
Enjoy your saturday all!

DAY ELEVEN
THE DREAM
I had kinda weird dream last night. It wasn't scary, but I'm scared. It not unusual, I keep getting weird dreams but most of it I don't remember, but this one I do very vividly.
First,I'm carrying two big suitcases going back to hostel probably, all alone. On the way my suitcase falls on the ground, someone tries to help, so I say to that person "I'm used carrying luggage all alone, its okay I'll do it" and the next moment I call my parents and say I cant do it alone, you guys have to come.
Next the whole thing changes and I'm inside some place like the way to temple in tirupati, its all crowded,people are pushing each other and all that, at the end, while getting down the stairs, some auntie and my mom talk, they are happy.
Next the whole thing changes, I'm outside some building everyone is there,there are two big buses, I don't know who all but they all are there, then my papa comes outside the building, he's got pop-corn chicken in his hand, and he's very happy too. He's even got ice-cream, he asks me which ice cream do I want ,I say chocolate, and he gives me that.
Then the scene changes into a room, I'm trying out Saree and blouse, its day before my WEDDING!!!My parents are discussing something. I clearly remember the colour was red, then I tell my mom to get another Saree, and she tells me, no this will look better even my papa agrees,the suitcase I thought was my hostel stuff, is actually my wedding stuff! After sometime,I am lying on my bed, I'm very very nervous, unable to sleep, some aunties are talking in the background, telling that they both know each from so many years and things like that, and I'm thinking about the photos the groom and I were together in the past, and I think start thinking about him,if he is also this nervous, will he be awake too, is it okay if I text him, or should I not contact him till the wedding..and all of a sudden I woke up!!!!
Sad part,I didn't come to know who the groom was.
This is happening for the 2nd time, first time I was supposed to be getting married in a church, my parents were all happy, I was wearing the white dress and heels it was all so beautiful. We were all waiting for the groom to arrive before he did I woke up!
Anyways, if you have read till here then thank you for actually reading my stupid dream and god bless you!
Have a nice day :)
Have a nice day :)
DAY TEN
10 things I will miss the most about home!
I just realised all of a sudden today that, there are only ten days of holidays left, and I have to go back to hostel.As much as I love being in hostel, i'm gonna miss home real bad.
- my MOMMY dearest, she is always there you know being with her, just keeps all the worries and tension away, PA too, especially the pampering part.
- my soft soft BED, and PILLOWS and BLANKET.
- unlimited INTERNET service.
- my own BATHROOM.
- all the yummy FOOD.
- my SCOOTY pep plus.
- wake up late in the morning and still get BREAKFAST.
- I dont have to WASH my clothes.
- IRISH COFFEE, have been drinking a lot of that these days!
- having NOTHING to do, the whole day.
Almost weekend!
It’s finally Friday again, HOORAY! Tomorrow I can wake up as late as I want without having to hear that obnoxious alarm! Train was late again this morning, sigh, it’s such a pain. In the morning I always try to catch up some sleep on the journey to work, but I must say there are comfier places to sleep! It’s funny how when you’re trying to sleep whilst sitting, and as soon as you actually doze off your head drops down and that shocks you awake right away. Stupid heavy head.
Maybe this weird sky rest thing would be handy after all.
ANYWAY, I was going to talk about something I love to do today. Watch tv! Yup, I must admit, Master’s degree in languages or not, I love me some television. I’m a real moviebuff, although I’m quite critical, I don’t really watch the daytime tv type of films or annoying romantic comedies ( Although there are some I did enjoy, e.g. How to lose a guy in ten days, laughed my ass off during that one.) I also loooove watching series, during my almost a year of unemployment after graduating, I had a LOT of time on my hands. I did work as a volunteer at the animal pound two afternoons a week, so at least I was somewhat useful to society! But for the most part I was a lazy bum and I watched series online for a large part of the day! Because of this I am currently following a LOT of series. My favourites are How I met your mother, the big bang theory, True Blood, the Vampire diaries, Big Love, Medium, House, the desperate housewives.. and probably some others but I currently forget because I just had this creepy man here at work!
So sudden subject change :D Just had this creepy Afghan man at the front desk, mumbling in weird English about wanting to go to Ireland, and he apparently had an Italian refugee card, and somehow he kept thinking that was a European passport and that was valid to go to Ireland. I told him no, you need a visa, and you need to apply for it in your country of residence, but he kept going on and on about not needing a visa because he had a European passport and he didn’t need one for Belgium, which seemed very unlikely. He probably got here illegally, and is now trying to go to Ireland. Luckily I managed to get rid of him by telling him I’d call once I had more information, and I copied his refugee card to make sure I got his details. Good thing I’m behind bullet-proof glass. Suddenly this job got way more exciting! Don’t worry Irish people, I’m not letting him in!
Also someone thought I was Irish because of my red hair and good accent, YAY me.
Now back to the series! I’m very fond of all of them, they each appeal to a different part of me. Although, as a fantasy geek, I do love the non real life ones. Vampire diaries are really good, but when it comes to vampires I really like True Blood. I know I know, some people must be really getting sick of vampires with all this Twilight mania going on, and although I did enjoy reading Twilight, the vampires in it are pretty wussy compared to the ones in True Blood, now those are some scary ass vampires! Good looking too, which is always a bonus! But True Blood is not for the faint- hearted or the prudes among us, it’s very violent, there’s quite a bit of sex in it and quite a bit of swearing too. But it’s a great show, very exciting and never bores. I’m reading the series too, and quite liking it as well. Although I do like being able to watch hot vampire Viking Eric!
Don’t you agree? For the non long hair fans among us, later in the show he cuts it, so you might approve more then! But I like the long hair, it makes him look more vikingy, which is what he’s supposed to be. He’s Swedish (the actor) of course, and he’s insanely tall and broad shouldered and muscular, drewl. Yup I like me a tall broad shouldered, strong man, but who wouldn’t really!
Sorry for the hormonal lapse!
Any plans for the weekend everyone? I’m tired from the long week so I’ll be mostly a lazy bum again, but am going to cousin’s place Saturday evening for a hopefully nice dinner with lots of nice drinks! Yes, I do like my bubblies! And I’m also planning on a chat with my old friend from England who I will naturally force to read my blog, and comment, as I have still none! Sniff.
But even if nobody ever reads it I do enjoy rambling on, I always loved writing in journals as a teen, so I’m enjoying this. But I hope some day someone does comment!
Have a nice weekend!

Definately hardly working
Dear lord its boring here! F# all to do! It may sound appealing to just hang in your chair and browse the internet for 8 hours, but truly, it gets a bit dull! Time goes soo much faster when you have lots to do. Why is nobody giving me assignments, and I'm brandnew here so I can't really invent stuff to do. And January is really calm for visa applications, so sigh! Been browsing blogger all day long reading interesting blogs, like Daydream Believer, she's really funny. Hard not to crack up sometimes though, and I can't do that, I have a co-worker right across from me :p and she seems to be a lot busier somehow hmm
Only three more hours to go, sigh! Then I get to do the whole trainjourney thing again. Luckily I recently bought myself a spanking new pink netbook, yes you heard it, I like pink! Doesn't mean I'm 23 I should grow out of my love for all things pink! It's so much prettier than those lame grey or black laptops, a little pink brightens the dreary day. Back to the point now, got a whole bunch of films and series on there, which I of course legally erm bought, not downloaded at all!
Makes the long trainride back so much nicer, and more relaxing, so although it was rather expensive (300 euro) it was worth it. Sure, I could have gotten the boring black one for 275 euro, but I deserved a treat for finding a job!
I like reading too, but I just finished all my new books I got for Xmas and New Year, so I'm currently out. But as I am now no longer an unemployed broke girl, I just won't be able to stop myself from indulging in new books. Always wanted to have a little library of my own later, sure it'll be filled with mainly fantasy books rather than intellectual classics but oh well, it could be worse (chicklit)(although I do read those sometimes shh)
I'm really a fantasy geek, but more on that some other time!
Back to pretending to work!
