Wii Fit Plus review
Dear readers,
Well some
of you already know but I decided to buy a Wii console. I am not a very advent
(let alone good) gamer, so I certainly did not buy it to play Mario Carts or
anything (although that game did come with the console). No, I bought it to be
able to gain exercise with the Wii Fit Plus system. It took me a very long time
to decide whether or not to buy it, since the system does not come cheap (the console it self cost me 133,- euros and the Wii Fit pack (game + balance board) cost me 88,- euros). I have had the game for about three days now and I thought it would be nice to write a review on it.
As many of
you know I am very busy with work and school and can therefore not find the
time to join a gym or something. However, I noticed that because I do not get
enough exercise I was rapidly losing my energy. I thought the Wii Fit Plus
system would be the perfect solution, since I would not have to leave the house
(and loose 30-60 mins traveling time). Although I have only been using it for three days now, I have to admit it really does what it promises... I feel the muscle ache
already hahaha.

The introduction of Strange dreams galore and Nightmare alley
Dear readers,
As some of you might know, my sleep is usually plagued by dreams which
are mostly scary or weird. I have been doubting whether or not to write them in
my blog as I would not know if people would be interested in reading them.
However, as several people have actually told me that I should write them down,
I will be adding a special section to my blog called ‘Dreams’. This section is
again divided into ‘Strange dreams galore’ and ‘Nightmare alley’ (if anyone has
a better name for either of the sections feel free to share hahah!).
I expect the ‘Nightmare Alley’ section to be updated most frequently, as
I tend to have a lot of scary dreams. Before I start describing my dreams it
might be wise to state here that I hardly watch any science fiction movies or
series (the only one I am currently watching is Eureka) and that I really do
not have a vampire, werewolf etc. obsession. The last series that I actually
watched which had vampires in it was The
Vampire Dairies, which was about a year ago. Also, I do not play any
videogames, except for Terraria (which is a platform game that does have some
flying eyeballs and zombies in it… But I have never encountered those in my
dreams haha). The reason why I write this is to testify that the similarities between
my dreams and an actual series are purely coincidental.
Today I will start off with my first entry for the ‘Nightmare Alley’
section. I had this dream about a year ago, but it is still vividly engraved
into my memory.

Helping out Disney-winkel.nl ;)
Dear reader,
As
promised a short report on my adventures at the huishoudbeurs (householdfair)
where I helped the store www.disney-winkel.nl. They own a webshop, but also have
stores in Scheveningen (The Hague) and Helmond. I have been to both stores a
number of times and it is well worth a visit.
I
was delighted when they asked me if I wanted to help out at the huishoudbeurs.
Initially I was supposed to work the entire weekend (Saturday and Sunday), but
as my best friend also really wanted to help out, I allowed her to take over
the Sunday.
The
stand was marked by an aura of absolute cuteness and awesomeness (well at least that’s how it
struck me as a Disney addict :P haha). They sold toys, plushies, bags, but also
other merchandise such as Christmas ornaments, things for in and around the
house etc. etc. I was quite surprised by the wide collection they had managed
to bring with them.

Busy, busy, busy bee!
Dear reader,
I am so
sorry for the lack of updates. I have just either been extreme busy, away or
too tired to even think about writing a blog post. So well… prepare for a major
(be it quick) update! :D (I wrote this update a week ago, but left it on the computer at work, so I never got round to uploading it! >.< So sorry!!!).
From the 16th
till 20th of January I went away on a holiday with my fiance to
celebrate our 1 year engagement anniversary. We went to a bungalow park in the
middle of a forest, so we could actually get some alone time and some rest. We
had a really lovely and relaxing time! Though the sounds of the forest were quite scary at times hahah! As a present I bought my fiance a
candy grabber and filled it with some very tasty candies! :D

Christmas and New Years Eve! :D
Dear
readers,
Well
Christmas has passed so we are back to the old layout ;). I hope everyone had a
wonderful Christmas! My Christmas was quite ok, even though I did get sick in
the middle of the first day… T_T Bad timing mr. flu! But I still had a good
time. We did not do much, just the usual opening of the presents, a casual
Christmas breakfast, watching some movies and of course the wonderful Christmas
dinner! I especially loved the second day, because that was the day when my
fiance joined us.

A Christmas Carol: my favourite movie versions!
Dear
reader,
Well as I
am exceedingly bored at work as there is no one calling or e-mailing us I
decided to write another blogpost! As Christmas is rapidly nearing, what could
possibly be a better topic to write about than Dickens’ A Christmas Carol? Ever since I was a child I have been a huge fan
of this story. Not only have I read the book, but I have also see quite a few
different movie versions. I thought it would be fun to write a blogpost with
recommendations on the different movie versions that I really like.

Christmas tree, amusementpark, one year together!
Well the
past few weeks have been rather busy. Last week on Sunday I went to the garden
centre with my fiance to see if I could find some additions to my Christmas
tree. Instead I bought some supplies to make a Christmas centrepiece haha. I
have not done this in ages and have been wanting to do it since forever... So I
decided to buy the supplies and have some fun with it. I will probably leave it
to the night before Christmas to do it or so, as I will have quite a lot to do
for the coming days... yes I have some homework that I really need to catch up
with. I had a lot of fun dragging by fiance along all the Christmas stuff. This
year's goal is to get him into the Christmas spirit. So far I am the only
person who has persuaded him to tag along to a gardening centre when they have
Christmas goods... :P So I might be able to pull it off hahaha.
