bibi and the ardennes

We went with bibi - ilia's fairy godmother- to the ardennes in the beginning of november. he enjoyed it! But then again, he's always cheerful and happy (except when he's hungry or sleepy - he'll cry his lungs out then)

and he loves to 'talk' to his bibi

2 months and counting

He's a bundle of joy to have around...

29 september : welcome wee guy ;)

my sweetest friend, the famous lama, took some pictures on ilia's babyshower, where it rained babies, sweets and bubbly...

Enjoy! I know we did x

Ilia and Elviira sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G ...

smiling

Yes, we went to get his international pasport yesterday, so that means that he can travel... booking already, can't decide between france, england or turkey... Or maybe somewhere else, who knows... Anyway, the idea alone put a smile on his face ;)

in the jungle ...

I've beaten igor, the lion... Yesterday it was my first month birthday (quite a special day) and i showed igor who's boss... hehe... He's quite soft and squicky really, and he's got an ant on his tongue... Funny little animal, well... little ? ;)

out

I'm tiny, i'm small, but already walked in Mummu's garden! My first babysteps to see the world, yay!!!

cute ;)

bathtime

football fan?

Ilia will be a great big footballfreak. If he doesn't like it, his grandad and most of my friends will make him ;) His dad subscribed him for Club Brugge already, my uncle will train him in his team, and I got this send in the mail by Andy. Guess he'll have some time to make up his mind, right?

I'm still hoping that he will be a balletdancer ;))

the last soviet

I got this hat from a chechen friend of mine... I think it's gorgeous and suits him quite well ;)

my first week

Ilia's really a dream... Eats, sleeps, never complains... I'm so relieved and amazingly happy ;)

the first pictures

ilia's first minutes on this planet, it was a terrible delivery, took me more than 36 hours, but finally, at 15.27 he decided to pop out...

mum to be

well, it's the final days for me and my big belly ;) Soon the wee one will be out, and my life will change drastically. It all happened so fast, getting pregnant as by accident, and now i'm about to give birth to a wee human being, or at least, i hope... what if it is a frog or a turtle? ;)) (my worst reoccuring nightmare)

If the muppet isn't coming out by itself, then they will start the delivery on tuesdaynight, the 21st... They don't want to risk it staying in there for too long (placenta failures, breathingproblems, hazards for both me and the little monster...)

I've enjoyed my pregnancy, wasn't sick, only had some moodswings caused by pregnancyhormones (yes, they do excist and they're hell when they start being , well, moody...), loved the many friendly words that were said to me by complete and utter strangers, loved the tons of caressings my belly had to endure during the last two months ;) As funny as it may sound, i'll miss being pregnant, but i'll love my wee little freggle when it's finally out...

now, only hope for the best, that he/she is in good health, has a good appetite and is a sound sleeper ;) I'll keep you posted...

ilia louis verlinde

Ready to explore the world...

here he is, my baby, the most precious little thing i've ever seen...

born on thursday 23rd of august 2007 weighing 2,950 kg measuring 48 cm...

he's adorable.

my finnish gang ;)

aren't they adorable?

6 weeks to go

Here's me, just 6 more weeks to go before the wee one gets out. I'm getting sooo nervous just thinking about it...

18.08.1990 - 7.6.2007

Odie has come to pass. My lovely white fluffy deaf blind senile dog has passed away. Even in his old days he still tried to swim, but he couldn't play footy anymore. Every time you cuddled him he trembled.

He has had a wonderful life, he was almost 17, that's 116 in human years...

I will miss him, he's been a big part of my life afterall... Met zijn pootjes en vooral zijn nageltjes op het parket, trippel trippel... So please, when you this, take a moment and think about him, even if you didn't know the smelly dog...

But i absolutely adored his nose, which was the only part of him that still worked

and still was as black as when he was a puppy...

all families are psychotic

"Our lives are geared mainly to deflect the darts thrown at us by the laws of probability. The moment we're able, we insulate ourselves from random acts of hate and destruction. It's always been there - in the neighbourhoods we built, the walls between our houses, the wariness with which we treat the unknown.

Ond person in six million will be struck by lightning. Fifteen people in a hundred will experience clinical depression. One women in sixteen will experience breast cancer. (...)

A day in which nothing bad happens is a miracle, a day in which all the things that could have gone wrong didn't. The dull day is a triumph of the human spirit, and boredom is a luxury unprecendented in the history of our species"

Quote from 'all families are psychotic'

wonderful novel by douglas coupland

the book was litteraly devoured by my cats,

thank god i already finished the first chapter

books

Ok, need some advice on which books to buy. I've recently bought two 'easy reading' novels (good laughs, or a great emotional crusade)

'Actually Merde' about a Englishguy in France, and

'Queen Mum'. I also bought

'all families are neurotic' by the lovely douglas coupland. Haven't read it so far,but since we've got a very long weekend, and it will rain cats and dogs (as long as they're not my cats ;o)) i will have loads of time to read, but unfortunately, no inspiration....

Now, I like the weird, funny novels, so if you've got some advice what to buy... SHOOT! Thanks a bunch (of daisies).

blind melon

I don't feel the suns comin' out today

its staying in,

its gonna find another way.

As I sit here in this misery,

I don't think I'll ever see the sun from here.

And oh as I fade away,

they'll all look at me and say,

and they'll say,

Hey look at him!

I'll never live that way.

But that's okay

they're just afraid to change.

When you feel your life ain't worth living

you've got to stand up

and take a look around you

then a look way up to the sky.

And when your deepest thoughts are broken,

keep on dreaming boy,

cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.

And as we all play parts of tomorrow,

some ways will work

and other ways we'll play.

But I know we all can't stay here forever,

so I want to write my words on the face of today.

and then they'll paint it

And oh as I fade away,

they'll all look at me and

they'll say,

Hey look at him and where he is these days.

When life is hard, you have to change.

Written in 1989 by shannon hoon, and altho he tragically died on october 1995, his lyrics are brilliant and so true.

prison break

My lovely yellow bird took his chance while i was in Trier, Germany. I know it's my fault, I shouldn't have gone to Germany ;) but he managed to escape from his cage and check out my living room and the especially the curtains. Basil and Hobbes (my two feline friends) were so excited about his visit. He spent at least 26 hours roaming free. (I know because a friend of mine came and took care of the cats and didn't have time to catch Kasper)... Anyway, when i got home, he was on top of the curtain, and just came to me because he was starving. So, now, i fed him, gave him some fresh water in his private pool, and he looks happy now, eventho he's hurt his wing while 'travelling'. I guess Basil and Hobbes didn't hurt him too bad because Kasper still speaks the language of cats... Yep, he meows. Freakily weird but who the heck isn't? ;)

A little purr to you, 'grin' :) Oh, and Trier was great ;) More about that later...

my lovely godson

here's Miika ;) my finnish sunshine, he's one and a half now and adorable... ;o)

absoluut brilliant, ik hou van die man...

the fray

Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life

little children

mmmm...

Kate Winslet, i've loved her ever since 'heavenly creatures' and i love her more with every movie she makes... Fascinating story, about ... little children or the difficulties of growing up or letting go of the past...

lynch's freaky dream world

I won't tell more (basically cause i'm still trying to find out who's who and what's what) but go and see it. it's brilliant... and scared me to nightmares ;)

"We're the middle children of history, man.

No purpose or place.

We have no Great War.

No Great Depression.

Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.

We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars.

But we won't.

And we're slowly learning that fact.

And we're very, very pissed off. "

Fight Club

Great movie, even better book...

Cherish the moment, cherish the key

That leads to sane insanity

Cherish incompetence, cherish me

Don't ever cherish somebody who

Keeps on searching for a thing sublime

When all you need is inside of you

Everybody's waiting for springtime

Well winter can be cozy too

'winter' by K's choice

hope you'll have a great superb year with everything you're heart desires. And if not, try to enjoy it afterall... Enjoy the amazing santa...

'don't trust him too much'

I got this card from a dear friend on saturday in the bilbo. and it's true. the only person you can trust is yourself, (and in my case: all my precious friends who are so supportive right now). I love you, every single weird one of you. you mean the world to me, and you know who you are...

lyrics from 'the player'

You never broke my heart
But you tried
You never broke a law
when you lied
I was a little kid, just a child
I was a lookalike running wild
For all our horses hold
For all the shots we called
Yeah it was you who made me the player


get this song out of my head please!!!!!!!!!!

me... me??? me!!!!!!

Last week on sunday. I didn't feel too good, toothache, headache, heartache, bla bla bla, so a very pecious friend set me an assignment for this week. He told me to ask my friends and loved ones to describe me in one word.

Here are the results. No one came up with the same word twice. So am i divers or not?

Oh and, he was right, it put a gigantic smile on my face ;)


relaxed, Vital (to my questionable sanity)!Important.Beloved.Missed.Real (as in not imagined). special, daughter (guess who that was by), flamboyant (no need to translate that do I), chaotic, perverse (with a huge grin), bonvivant, sweet, spontaneous, Assured...meaning you know who you are and don't compromise yourself. The thing with the assured thing is that people can feel your confidence and self-love the second you walk into the room and it makes everyone else want to know you and talk to you. AND that's why I love you. (sorry, couldn't resist to add the whole commentary of my dearest fiancee), HOPELESSHOPE, FAN(t)A(s)TIC, wyrd ( otherwordly, different, standig out, kindred but not the strange meaning) but my favourite of all words is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Love you all, and friends or loved ones who didn't find the time nor inspiration to answer my quest, just add it under comments.

huh?

vse horoshoe konchajetsia

beautiful things won't last

sleep

to sleep
to dream
while my conscience lays besides me

the monsters are getting to me
whether it be love, lust, pain or hate

what difference does it make in the end?

°grin°

love it

lost fairy

this story started badly

a fairy lost and all alone

she searched for her fairy family

under every flower and stone

i found her sitting weeping

something a fairy should never do

but the story ended happily

when she found a friend in you

her wings began to sparkle

she knew that she was home

you know you have a fairy in your heart

you will never be alone

verses by Norma Anne Peymani

fucked up

the dark, the mobide, the tragic freaks

Is it just the weather and the fascinating death of summer
or
just my fucked up mind playing tricks?

Who knows?
