A piece of me..... in Februari 2010

Oui, c'est moi!
I'm still on hiatus, but I thought the least I could post is the "A piece of me" game. I'll try to read a few of your posts every day.

This month....
I like: that I can finally cruise around in my own car! I feel a whole lot more independent now... *proud*

I don't like: the human body and its flaws. Let's kick my health's bum!

I want you to know: that I kinda like this hiatus so far.... I have so much more time to do other things...

I've planned: nothing! This month I have no plans, other than getting my eye recovered.

I want to say to someone special: Everyone for your well wishes and concern, thanks so much. And Bro, happy bday month, you're getting old too!



Like the game?
Jump on the bandwagon, and start playing!

Rules:
1) You can join anytime.
2) After that, you have to post it every first sunday of the month, or in that very weekend.
3) The post only needs to contain the answers to the 5 question above.
4) Leave your name, blog url (not post url!) beneath in the form. One time is enough!
5) If you're not posting the game every month, I will need to remove you from the list.

Sorry sorry, I'm late, I KNOW!
I forgot it was supposed to be posted yesterday until I was in the shower tonight. Stupid...
So belated, but here it is. I really don't like pink dresses and this is as pink as it gets! The hideous face comes with the outfit, that's what you get when I have to wear pink...


Before you think I'm back in blogosphere, I'm not...

Going, Going....... Gone

Hey everyone!
Thanks to those who've been asking where I've been, I'm right here, watching you guys!
As you might already know, I have a little problem with my right eye. So, I went to see the doctor, and she told me that I'm probably allergic to the contacts I'm wearing. Hence the toxic reaction, and blurry sight. Now, I'm not allowed to wear them for 4 weeks.

I've decided to take some time off blogosphere, because, due to my reduced sight, it's taking me too much time and effort to write posts, reply comments, read your posts and comment on those. I'm going to rest my eyes some more, and hope that it will recover soon. I'm not sure how long this hiatus will take, as it could be weeks to months.
I'm still reading emails though, so everyone who've been sending me emails. You can still do that, I love reading them!

Thanks to the lovely bloggers who've sent me Christmas cards last year. There's a little something something for you guys on the way, so watch your mailbox. I did manage to forget to include a little note though, so if you want instructions on how to eat the famous Dutch "Stroopwafels" the best way, do email/message me once you've received the package!

Also, thank you Ninja girl Manju for sending me an early birthday present!!! It was a total surprise, I didn't expect a thing! Thanks to Nino as well, for conspiring with her! You guys really made the birthday already, and it's not even saturday yet!

I'd like to thank everyone who's been reading *Notes from the Toothfairy* so far, I hope you liked it!

I'll be back!


ps: I will post the project Barbie photo, though I can already tell you that I will be the one wearing the least pink!!!
pps: I will also try to do the monthly "A piece of me game".

Picture of the moment #16: Rubber Duck

The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn't discriminate people and doesn't have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!

I really like this series from Dutch photographer Florentijn Hofman. This one is taken Elst, the Netherlands. The duck is 5x5x6 meters. He has also done this serie in France, in which the duck is 26x20x32 meters!!! Pretty cool right?

ps: Project 365 pictures will be shown in the sidebar and in a weekly post from now on. I can't get used to it, beneath every post. It's too messy for me.

Peacemaker

When people are in a discussion or a fight, they tend to ask you for your opinion. Actually, they'd rather have you pick a side. Like they need back up.

I'm not sure if it's an Asian thing or a me thing. I try to see everything in different ways. Every possible way. Maybe I then sound indecisive, but I just rather not take anyone's side. I like analyzing situations, looking on the subject from several perspectives. In most cases, there's a plus and a no for every argument. I feel like taking sides always give one problems. You'll always end up hurting someone's feelings. You might loose a friend, or gain a foe. Therefore, I'd rather stay away from fights. I'm usually the neutral one.

It may feel like I'm not backing people up, that I'm not being loyal. In fact, I'm just trying to make peace. Have them to face it from another position, which usually doesn't help. Time and experiences has taught me that. It's actually something I don't get. Why people always have to pick a major fight, about something really small and not important. Make a huge fuss about it, try to get everyone on their side. While if you maybe try to look things in another vision, you will come to realize that it's really not that big of deal.

Well, I've almost never been into a fight in my life, and I like to keep it that way. Besides, people never pick fights with me anyway. And I never ever pick sides when it comes to girlfriend fights, that always means trouble. I don't like trouble. Even in family fights (that happens sometimes, in a big family), I'm not taking sides, not even my mom's. They have to solve their own problems, I'm not your pawn.

How do you deal with this problem?
Always backing up someone, or are you like me, the neutral one?
