The freaks come out... Halloween party
This was the date waited for a long time... The ultimate halloween party in the Wild Wild West finally happened! Every single soul came alive or dead but in a costume... our death count reached more than 70 souls visiting our spookhouse.
It was an awesome party with people which looked either random or unrecognizable (both were appreciated), lots of wine and other beverages, dances and awards, police inquiries, as well as a brave surfer deciding to fight the waves of the lake next to our house... good friends from Brussels, mysterious story about the poster that has dissapeared... I`d better start uplaoding the pix, they will tell you more!

from the supermarket phenomenon
This is what my flatmate at that time Mona found once in AH To Go Supermarket...
Water on a sunny day in autumn! Where is it from? From the supermarket. In small letters it says "buy it and it`s yours!" and, indeed, it`s true!! :D I bought it and it`s mine (duh).
But the fun has just begun. Reading on, the instructions of using it:
Water comes from a tap, but also from a supermarket. (...)Drink it preferably chilled and take 8 swigs an hour.Keep your bottle at hand for unexpected moments of thirst.Why does it make me laugh, do you know?
Should I tell the story about
Yodoshimaro, who is in the water and makes it so good?
And should I disclose the secret, that there will be new products
from the supermarket in stock soon...
Now me, Mona and Adina are competing on who will find the next products -
juice and
milk from.. yes, you got it right-
from the supermarket . Unexpected moments of thirst are definitely the crucial moments in our lives :)
And products like this are crucial to keep a healthy level of insanity at home or in the office :D

here there and everywhere
I am just so good with updates! Another week in A`dam..
Last weekend we went out with other interns to De Pijp, very Dutch area with nice places for drink or dance. Very very nice crowd, apart from the awesome intern gang, including some of the people whos presence was a pleasant surprise.
On Sunday I took a trip to Brussels, to see the Flower Carpet 2006 in Grand Place, meet some people, pick up some of my luggage, sort out my membership at
Fitness Passage, which is the service I am not happy about. One advice guys - check for terms and conditions before signing anything in Belgium. But it`s ok, you live you learn. I learned not to go to Fitness Passage anymore, it`s just too much trouble. Also it ws cool to catch up aith Rasa, the MC team, experiencing extreme rain conditions and Belgian sarcasm which makes me paranoid.
The whole past week went faster than lightning, IC is next week and there was just a lot to prepare, ship, communicate. It seems like most fo the stuff is ready though, yey!
By facing the distance from my place to teh centre of Amsterdam, I realized that bike is just necesarry to live here:) As in the evening when I get back home it`s so difficult to motivate myself to go somewhere :) Like now, I know there is a huge festival happening in the centre, but I am just too lazy :)
And I think it`s nothing wrong that I sleep a lot, don`t go out every night and just take it easy :) I like sleeping!! I love lazying around :) But I promise I will get involved into social life a bit more from now on.
BTW, last Friday we had a first go-out with my teammaes from ING. We went to one cool tapas bar, then continued chtatting over a glass of wine. I work with amazing people I tell you!
I am finally not living in a suitcase, my room is nice and cosy now, just missing some artistic touches. The room is only for two months, I am looking for a place to move in in October, but still nice to have a good living environment.
Today I met Rita for a coffee and ended up chatting about life and work for the whole afternoon. Nice to meet great people.
I realized that I haven`t been taking pictures of me in The Netherlands so far! I have to improve this!
The only thing that is bothering me now, is my wisdom teeth, they sometimes turn into nothing else but plain pain in my mouth. Not so good.
And to make this post one of the most random ones, I would recommend you to check out the
TO-DO list blog. You can submit your own to-do list which will be published in a book! Deadline is on Sept 15, I think I will submit something, as I have some sophisticated TO-DOs :)
