I just read an interesting article in De Standaard called 'De crisis maakt ons gek op speculoos'. It's about why Lotus & speculoos seem to be winners in this economic climate.
My friend Radica sent me the coolest calendar for this new year, a calendar with sights from Sydney. She marked a few important locations on it, where they live, where work is etc. I love it! I love calendars as a reminder of the fabulous places I got to visit.
So, since January's almost over, I finally took my 2007 calendar down. Reluctant I must say, cause there are a few important dates marked and notes written on it. It's a calendar I bought in New York with different sights of the city.
But most of all, my special friend wrote a few bits on it. I looked at it carefully today, you can say there's a pre-'In Bruges' time marked on it, a 'during' time, and a post-'In Bruges' time. The making of that movie literally changed my life for a number of reasons, reasons I have written about on this blog, and reasons that I will keep to myself.
Pre...I found myself waiting for something not worth waiting for. I know that now. Yes for all of you who warned me over and over again, yes you were right, but I guess miss D had to find out for herself. I won't lose the lesson don't worry...
During...I had the best 3 weeks of my life. Also possibly the littlest sleep of my life ;-)
Post... great expectations and promises kept. Promises still being kept.
What a year...At the beginning of 2007 I read a horoscope that said the year 07 would bring major changes to my life. I remember thinking I wasn't ready for change at all. Looking back now this change was the best thing ever.
Mr F, I hope you will come sign my 2008 calendar soon.
I wonder what calendar I will have for 2009, where will this year take me ?
Only January and already took a trip to Spain, totally unexpected yay! Found myself on a movie set surrounded by Iraq soldiers and US soldier, big hummers and I think I even recognized good old Saddam. Muy bizarro!:-)
Next trip might be to Morocco. Who knows.
Those are the words on the glass stones my special friend gave me. Love because you are loved. Be happy because you have to keep shining for me. Those are his words.
I will try.
Isn't it amazing how one person can turn your world upside down? Or downside up really in his case. Dunno if that's a real word, downside up, it is now voila :-)
He made me re-discover who I am and what I deserve.
He made me decide to cut a certain energy-sucking, downwards pulling person out of my life. Best decision ever. And guess what, now that this energy-sucker knows it's over he keeps contacting me, or trying to contact me. Didn't have time for it all those months/years, and now all of a sudden....please, seriously, have some decency and let me get on with my life. You have wasted enough of my time and energy. And that's the last thing I'll ever say or write about this. Point final. Passé composé!
People can really bring out the best in eachother. People can really bring out the worst in eachother.
So I am going to try to be strong, so I can be happy again and I can make my special friend happy.
Mr F, you make me shine. Although shining right now is hard and difficult... but you do.
Remember, the same moon all around the world...
