So good to be back!!!

Wow it feels so good to be back in NZ again. Having a great time. Jan has bene working very hard for his BB filming and when we got to the appartments he was waiting for us with some morning tea...... so sweet.
We arrived at 04.15 am and got to the appartments around 07.00am. We went straight on all day long. Did shopping, alked around the city, ofcourse joined Jan for BB and we also did BP.
BP70 is the most awesome release I think so far. For track 1 -10 all songs are great. I really must say... Glen you rock! BB is also very nice. Jan did very very well is his filiming class yesterday. He said he wasn't nervous at all....... amazing hey. The whole balance team looked good. They really were a team all the way thru. BP was jsut great. Jos and Dennis have arrived as well just on time for filming so they joined teh classes as well.
Yesterday evening we went for dinner with them. They got in in the afternoon went straight into filming classes after en 29hour flight and then of to dinner. The sent us a text this morning .... wide awake at 0600am ..... well we were to while we slept for about 5 hours orso ...hhahaha
Today is just an easy day. karin wasn;t feeling to good this morning, so I went to walk around on my own for a bit. I will do a BS class this afternoon and after that drinks at LMI with the Internationals and the rest of the Dutchies. We haven't seen them, except for Jos and Dennis.
We'll see.
I'm just loving every minute of my time here.

Shopping in San Francisco

This time is de the first time I am traveling to NZ via the USA. So good opportunity to make a stopover. Karin and I decided it would be a good start of our holiday to do shopping.
When we arrived in SFO we got our car and drove to the city. Our hotel was close to Fisherman's Wharf so that's where we spent the rest of the afternoon. Whit 9 hour time difference we went to bed at around nine but still weren't abl to sleep all teh way thru. We woke up early and had breakfast as soon as it was possible (06.30am) The we got in the car and drove to Gilroy. A huge premium outlet over there with over 145 shops. I think we saw just about all of 'm :-)
It was like a shopping marathon.Starting at 10.00am all teh way to 05.30pm. Just about a day of work.
Then we drove back. Stopped for dinner on the way and I fell asleepvery early again. I think at around nine again. Ofcourse an early wake up again. And then KArin sai,well there is 24/7 gym not to fare from the hotel ... sooooooo at 05.00am we were running and doing some weight training... hahahaha.... and it felt really good. That afternoon we went had lunch downtown and then drove to the airport to check in for our flight. Man it was busy ..... very crowded flight. But finally we are on our way to NEW ZEALAND!!!

Very late... but here they are...

Part of Life ....

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high, look it quarely in the eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.'

3 weken van tranen en verdriet
maar jij, jij ziet het niet
Jij blijft in mijn gedachten
en ergens ben ik aan het wachten
ik weet dat het veel beter is
wanneer ik jou uit mijn gedachten ban
maar als ik denk aan dát gemis.....
ik denk niet dat ik het wil of kan
Jij, je hebt íets met mij gedaan
ik wil er nu altijd voor je staan
daar kan ik niet van weg lopen
waarom blijf ik nou toch hopen?
hopen tegen beter weten in
mijn verstand zegt....meis, het heeft geen zin
maar mijn hartje klopt voor jou
Ik voel nu alleen de kou
De kou, de pijn en tranen
Ik probeer ze te verdringen
ver van alles weg te stoppen
en denk alleen aan leuke dingen
Maar juist de leuke dingen zou ik graag delen
met jou en niemand anders
Voor mij ben jij er één uit een miljoen
Is er nog iets wat ik kan doen?
