| | Tickle My Senses (1)

When we came home tonight I received a phone call from T., telling me that my friend Carla is in hospital with something that resembles a stroke [that makes two]. emoticons/sad.gif

She is still conscious but in severe pain [headache] and has to be watched for the next twenty-four hours. Tomorrow morning she will need to have a CT scan done. Unfortunately I will be at the hospital myself till midday so hopefully I will be able to get in touch with T. once I'm back to get an update on her condition.

It makes you realise life is too short and every day is a new day, a new start, a new chance to make it the best day of your life. If I won't post for a while I might have decided to fly to Amsterdam...

Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow. ~Dorothy Thompson

Hey, thanks for visiting! Your blog is great too!

Actually, right now I'm living in a very nice part of British Columbia, Canada. It snows, but it doesn't really stick. I'm from Calgary, AB, Canada, and THERE the snow stays all winter!!!

Anyway, thanks again for visiting! See you around!

Expat Life: I moved from Amsterdam to London, Aug. 2006. Things didn't quite work out as planned and I found myself on my own in a foreign country.

Reflection: 2007 Has been a difficult year but I've managed to accomplish a lot more than I thought I ever could. I've set up my own business, survived a serious health issue, met some amazing people and found my future...

Personality: At times stuck in a time warp of ideas and thoughts, Mixed Blood [Eurasian seems to be the fancy word for it: Indonesian and Dutch], typical Capricornish Goat, Sensitive, Crazy about Apple Macs and anything related, Gadget Girl, Intelligent, Psychological profiling of all kind, Sucker for all sorts of stuff that makes my OS run like: Coffee and Chocolate, Deep Thinker, Perfectionist, Foolish, Silly, Stubborn [WHAT?... ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!
