Happy 2008 everybody! I know it's a bit late  X'mas was kinda sad this year because Florian's aunt/godmother passed around on 25th Dec early in the morning. She was in hospital since 24th Dec and Florian's parents said instead of going to church, we went to the hospital to visit her. Before that we didn't know that she's that serious. She has fought againist cancer for 5 years and was in hospital for many times so we thought it's just one of this time but it ended up not like this. She was already in coma when we were there. Florian' mum stayed (Trudy is her older sister) to be with her and his father went home with us for the dinner etc. After he went back to the hospital and Trudy passed away some hours later. She's just around 49 years old and left 3 daughter aged 16, 17 and 19 behind her. Their father ran away since they were kids. Seeing things like this make you realise life is really short. When we watch movie, the person who is going to die always have a lot and a lot of time to tell his/her love one a lot and a lot of things. But in reality it's not like this. Trudy was in coma about half day before she passed away so did my father. We should really appreciate the people around us New Year we were at home this year, with Boris, Paul (Boris' cousin from Berlin) and Alex. We ate and ate and ate. Our food was on the table from 2007 to 2008. We had table grill so it's very handy. We watched countdown from the TV and saw the firework from the balcony. Very peacful besides the cats were very scare from the firework. Maiko spent his new year under my bed so he celebrated it with the dust. Jacky was with my pillows. They should consider celebrate it with each other. 3rd Jan after work I went to Billund for business trip. I supposed to be at Billund on 3rd night but I ended up in Copenhagen because of the delay. I will go into detail if I have the mood later. Tomorrow we will depart to Linz, Austria. I am going to receive my birthday party from Florian finally. It's a 3 days Spa package with 7 course dinners and massage etc. So I will pospone my diet plan until next Wednesday. After X'mas I am feeling like a Hippo, my jeans are tight and I feel bascially ugly and very lazy. Should do more sport after I go back to my rountine. My 2008 resolution: 1. Pass my 4 exams in May 2. Master the 2 (free style and back) swimming style 3. Try to learn Flamenco if I ever find a course which suit my time 4. Think more positive, complain less 5. Go swim twice a week all the time I won't include weight target anymore since it never works. |
