Hallo!
Yesterday I didnt update. I was so tired from the day before that I didnt have the energy to come downstairs and go online. wow.
I worked from 9:30am -9pm on friday, 3 kids.
Did get help but only until 2pm. Gahhh.
So today I only have the girl. She's watching TV right now, so I'm free....sorta.
I had to still wake up at 7am today cus I had to bring the boy to school.
The girl is really easy to deal with cus all you have to do is either give her food or call her meisje and she will stop crying.
So anyways, we go to Spain on the 17th of this month! yay.
Then I come back on the 1st of August but I go to stay in Amsterdam again.
My mom & sisters come here on the 4th, and I go back to my uncles house.
Then we go to stay in the small town we usually stay in.
I noticed that I havent been losing any weight so I'm gonna start my apple diet. 3 apples a day, these are groot apples. Lets see where this gets me, Ja?
I promise I will comment you all back from the last posts soon! Sorry its taking so long. Work is harder than I thought.

Au Pair.
Wow first day was...something. I take care of two kids one a 4 year old boy & the other a 1.5 year girl. They are soo cute. Both are blonde but the girl has like crystal blue eyes & the boy forest green. The boy has so much energy, I mean he doesnt sit still at all. But they are so nice when its just me & them, but when their mom comes they are wild and just all over the place. haha
I also met some other Au Pair. All from South Africa. Spent like hours talking to em. Went back to the house at like 12 pm.
So I'm working right now. they r watching tv. haha Its only 10am & im already tired. Lucky me one of the Au Pair girls I met yesterday agreed to help me out today.
Usually I dont work on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Thank god.
Tonight me & some of the girls are gonna go to a pub. So this will be the only chance I have to update. lol
I will be replying to comments soon! Hope ya'll had a great forth of july.
I'm trying had with my eating and stuff. Good news is that I'm the smallest of the Au Pairs I've met. hehe. Thats sorta made me happy, my hard work has paid off a bit.

Happy 4th of July Americans!
Today I'm heading to Den Haag! WOOH! Starting my job today. I can't wait.
I might not be able to update, idk how the internet situation is over there. I'll figure it out.
The lady I work for will be picking me up so I will be in the car with her for about 1 hr +.
Hope its not awkward. I'm not very talkative when it comes to car rides, I really love to listen to my ipod & drift off. But I can't do that with her cus she will take me as being rude. dammit!
I will talk to you anyother time but in the car. Its strange, i know. Gosh! lol
Lets hope she also doesnt mind me staying in the room they give me.
Cus sometimes I really just like being in my own space.
I did that at my uncles house & they thought I was uncomfortable with them but I really wasnt, I just need my space. Plus I wanna listen to my music!
I swear 30% of my day consists of sleeping, 10% eating,
and the rest is either listening to music,
thinking about music,
thinking about listening to music,
or thinking of music I should download.
Fuck, I almost only buy music mags. I've spent thousands on ipods & downloads, (until i found my favorite music source. hehe).
If I ever was to go deaf, I would kill myself, honestly!!
There is no life without my songs.
I really want a motorcycle. I know, weird thing for this chick to want, but seriously, since I was little I've always wanted one! You know the old school low rider? YEAHHHHH, that kind. I know the dangers of riding, blah blah blah, I fuckin know. I don't give a damn...I will ride before I die!
Congrats Coldplay for holding the record for highest amount of album downloads for in history for their newest album!
---------------------------
Does anyone else remember their first band boy crush?
like the real serious one where anything that involved them you either had to have or hear.
Mine: M. Shadows. No lie.
Then it was dude from Atreyu ("lead singer"),
then Ronnie from ETF
then/now Max Green.
But I'll be forever in love with James Franco (actor)! haha
Of course A7X is my all time favorite band, its been for years!
Still in complete love with M. Shadows. lol

| The video!
I LOVE IT HERE!!!!!!
I walked by myself today for hours. I was trying to go to the bank by the central station in Amsterdam.
The first trip I took but I saw some really gorgeous guys and got side tracked...and got lost. So then I headed back to the apartment, took a 30 minute break and headed out again. This next trip I took some pictures and basically tried not to get side tracked again. haha.
I had a very successful trip this time, exchanged my money at a place and headed back to the apartment. Omgdee sooo many hot guys, like my type of hott, long hair, grungy" clothing, you kinda get it! Anyways ughhh...love love love!!
There is so much construction going on in this city. I mean OMG WTF?! every damn place you turn is construction.
I think I wanna head out again around like 2 because I want to buy a cell phone but I only have €350, I don't know what kinda phone I can get from that.
I think I might wait until I move to Den Haag tomorrow because its not as big a city and big cities sometimes confuse me.
Amsterdam is nice but kinda too big for me.
I liked Baarn much better because it was smaller and I got less confused.
Been listening to "Fool's Gold" by The Stone Roses a lot. Really awesome song.
I love walking to it cus it reminds me of Grand Theft Auto: San Andres, my hands down all time favorite video game!!
I miss playing it.
I ate horribly yesterday! ugh, so much chocolate. I was feeling so gross after. but none for today!!!
So anyways, its sorta funny how big everything in the USA is compared to here.
Even the soda cans are smaller here.
But I have to admit that food tastes a hell of a lot better here! lol.
Here is the video I took yesterday (sorry its sorta crappy. lol)

| Damn!
I just weighed myself and I am 119lbs/53.9 kgs. So i've gained 3lbs, not bad! haha I expected to be 125lbs/56.6 kgs.
Today I'm alone. I got here last night but was so damn tired I feel asleep. So today I'm gonna walk around the city for a few hours or so! I not only need the exercise but I need the air. The apartment of the friend I'm staying at is wayyy beautiful. But it has no wireless internet so I cant post the pictures that I finally figured out how to upload onto my computer. Ain't that a bitch?! When she gets back from work I'll ask her if I can just put them on her computer (I'm using her's right now).
I'm not really giving much discription about Holland so I decided to make a video today to show you a bit! yes?!
I can't believe I'm gonna be an Au Pair, what I do is basically take care of the children of a family. I live with them and they help introduce me into Holland. They also pay me...hello!..and I get friday, saturday, & sunday off. Where I will be staying, there are Au Pairs in every house on that block. They are all South African tho, most Au Pairs are south african (so I've heard). At my cousin's house (where I was staying last weekend), their Au Pair is South African, nice girl but strange. Anyways. I called my Dad & he was all joking about how he didnt send me off to go travel Europe without him. lol He's funny. Next week he will be going back to the caribbean to work and in August my mom will be coming here to live with my sisters!
Im fuckin stoked, cus I miss my sisters a lot!!
I'm learning so much dutch, yay, now I'm starting to replace english words with dutch words in my head. Don't know if that even makes much sense. haha
Ok on a weight loss note, I think I might have lost a few pounds because my stomach is sooo much flatter. I need to cut down on bread tho cus it makes my stomach bloated. grrr.
Started the day listening to Operation Ivy, so hell its gonna be a good day!
Edit:
Its raining. scratch all my plans. haha
I'm gonna do some at home exercises.
EDIT EDIT:
Ok so I went out anyways, well for a very short walk around the block & basically I got stares. Hell Yeah! I guess you think I'm vain & stuff but I've been sorta feeling very ugly the last few days so this made me feel a lot better. I feel more comfortable here everyday! I'm not gonna lie, it took a lot from me to go out by myself. I'm sooo lame. Sorry for being such an ass for even talking about this. lol
