Long time no hear/Things to come

Hello everyone..I hope you are all well.It has been a while since my last post.I dunno, maybe I'm having this lazy spell or something..Oh well. Been through a lot since my last post, but I don't think I'll go into that now..I will list what I will write about soon though..

I think I'll do a review of the Toshiba Camileo S10..and maybe a blog on my trials and tribulations on taking on the Luxembourg Law on Work Permits..

Ha-yah! Chinese Spareribs!

Wow, did not expect to get that good of a taste (allow me this one time for carryin my own bench here) for my first ever Chinese Spareribs. We had some laying around in the freezer for a while now, so I decided to cook that (plus we've had seafood for the last 3 or so days). I looked up youtube and found this video http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E526AA352EA27CA5&search_query=cooking . Instead of the cooking wine, I used Vodka and then I also added some honey in the end.

Anyway, it tasted really great and the best thing for me was when Tina liked it so much.Yum!

Still working on a dream

Hi all.Quite a while since my last post. I dunno, didn't feel like posting for a while. Have a couple of job leads. And just today, I gor a reply from the Catclub mgmt. Will see if I can musster enough courage to arrange for a test (which costs 9 euro by the way). Heard my brother Dennis got promoted. Really happy for him. But of course, it had me looking down on myself again. I'm trying to fight the feeling. I'm stiil working on that dream

3 days away

Hi all. Was at mich's for three days helping out with the house..having a bad bloc case...

The Trailing Male

Yes,that's right,Thats what I am. Yesterday was a helluva day. So big in fact that I ended up getting out of bed at 10am this morning.

A lot of things happened yesterday. First I read a book online and was introduced to the notion of a "trailing male". That is, a male spouse following his already-with-work wife abroad? Ring any bells? Yup, thats me. It was such a relief to find out that my predicament was recognized, and that there are others like me. It put a lot of things in perspective. And, like to process of getting over an addiction, it was comparable to the first step which is "to recognize the problem".

I went to the city in the afternoon to fix some paperwork and who do I see? Dennis, another trailing male like me. We had some drinks (well, a lot of drinks) and had fun just talking about stuff. We even met this girl Christane. She was really nice to talk to as well.

Overall, yesterday was a real eye-opener. Here's hoping that the momentum will stay.

Near future

Has a nice ring to it,eh? Oh well,I just hope mine will be a good one. One might say that I'm not really doing anything to make that happen..well...I'll get to that in a minute.

Today is going ok relatively...Had folks come in this morning so I had a sense of purpose for this day. That mainly being food. I prepared some pasta. Not difficult at all. Done it a couple of times already. The dish was received well. It's a nice feeling when something you've poured some effort to is appreciated. But then you know that, don't you. Anyway,that went well.

After that, hit the books once again for some French. It's both a nice distraction, something to pass the time, and also a very important aspect of my finding anything here (i.e. a job). That went well too, with the lesson progressing to Near Futures using the different conjuctions of the verb "aller" plus the present tense of any verb..So that gives us "going to..(verb).." . I really liked that lesson. It sort of opened more possibilities and, I should say, greatly increased my "french bank". I still have to put it to practice though.

Which brings us to my weird statement up front. Yes I used the lame relevance of the french lesson with my personal trials and tribulations..but as the language had lessons for me, so did life. Today it sort of dawned on me that nobody will pick me up here...NOBODY...there's only me. There will be no magical job opening that will land on my lap. There will be no out-of-the-blue kind person offering me a company position. Nothing of that sort..So, if I really want that self respect, and the respect of other people that I so badly want...if I really want that Flip MinoHD camera, or that Jean jacket from Esprit, that Nikon D40 , the Dell studio MT, the Kaoss Pad 3, (ok we get the idea), I have to really get off my ass here. I cannot rely on anybody. It's as simple as that. Do I want it bad enough?

Learned to prepare the French staple "croque Monsieur" from youtube. Seems it is prepared differently by diff people. I think I have all the ingredients, save the actual "jambon" which i can purchase at Del Haize across the street. Sure to try it one of these days. Keep you posted.

Oh,and that picture? It's the snack I had...Your usual coffee and "beucoup de bonbon". Better watch it suger levels will go up (or my teeth will be f/%ç/cked).

Hmm..what's for dinner?
