Loading ...It’s my party
Posted on May 9, 2008 - Filed Under Personal, Suriname
Last weekend was a crazy weekend. Friday night was my going away party in the café I’ve worked for the last three years. Grand-Diner-Cafe ‘t Boterhuis (warning, Dutch site). It was a great night. For the first time in the three years I traveled from The Hague to Delft, I took the wrong train. This train did not stop in delft but drove on to Rotterdam. So I had to take the train from Rotterdam back to Delft. So I was an hour to late for my own party. Luckily my brother was in time to entertain the guests. There were a lot of friends and family. Some couldn’t stay long but I’m glad I had the chance to see them. At a certain point my brother prepared the projector for a movie they made. Seems that one day while I was at work he invited my friends and they made a movie in my room, on my bed. To the people with the dirty minds; it’s not what you think. They made a little goodbye movie. Maybe I’ll rip it and put in on youtube. To me it was an emotional moment. Seeing my friends talking about me, telling us what they’ll miss about me. Seeing all my friends and family in one room and knowing it will me a long time before I see them again. The party was a real tearjerker. My friends, family and co-workers gave me some gifts I will always treasure. There are a lot of memories I will treasure. The party went on until the early in the morning. After our café closed a few close friends and I went to another café to party on. The sun was already up when I went home.
The next morning I had a major hangover. But I had to return to Delft to pick up all the gifts my friends and family got for me. I had lunch with my brother and talked to my old boss for the last time. He promised to look me up in Suriname. I’m looking forward to giving him and his wife and son a tour of my country.
To all my friends and family and new family in the Netherlands: I love you guys, I’ll never forget you.

Warning. This post contains links to death metal band sites, hard rock club sites etc. If you do not like anything from hard rock to death metal, do not go to these sites.
Because I’m leaving soon friends of mine want to spent some time with me. So does one of my best friends. This is a girl I know from Suriname. Back then I used to see here at least once a week. Here in the Netherlands it’s a little different. She lives in Utrecht and I live in The Hague. That’s about 40 minutes with the train. So because of me leaving to Suriname we where gonna do something fun together (turn off your dirty mind). She asked me if I wanted to go to a Arch Enemy concert. Of course I said yes.
Now what are the chances of meeting a friend who doesn’t know you are there is a concert hall packed with metal fans? Well we did, two girls we know just happen to walk right to the part of the concert hall we where standing. So I was enjoying the rest of the concert with three girls in stead of one. It’s a dirty job, but somebody has to do it 
home
The concert was smashing. I couldn’t believe a small woman like that can make such a heavy sound. Songs I knew and others I didn’t know yet. We tried to take some pictures but it was a dark hall and a lot of
light effects of the stage so my pictures suck. We did take some pictures of us after the concert.
Afterwards we went to the cave. They call it the loudest rock club in Amsterdam. That night it wasn’t. They had two bands playing. Two blink 182 wannabe bands. First of all after hearing Arch Enemy you do not want to hear blink 182. Second these bands really sucked. They played there music and nobody applauded. Everybody was glad when it was over and the cd-player took over. We really enjoyed the loudness of the club after the bands stopped. That was a good ending for a great night.

Havin’ my baby
What a lovely way of sayin’
How much you love me
Havin’ my baby
What a lovely way of sayin’
What you’re thinkin’ of me
I can see it, face is glowin’
I can see in your eyes
I’m happy you know it
This is what my brother is singing to his girlfriend. Yep my little brother is gonna me a daddy. Which means I’m gonna be a uncle. A little more then three weeks ago he called me up, told me to sit down and he told me. My first reaction was…”come again??” At first I did not know if I should be happy for him or shocked. But after talking to him for 1 minute I knew that we should be happy. The baby was not planned but sure will be loved. All our friends and family support him. I only feel bad about the fact that I will not be around.
My brother asked me to keep it a secret because he wanted to tell a few important people personally. He had to call my mother and other family members personally before I had the green light to publish the news. Yesterday he gave me the green light. Now the whole world may know. Congrats bro. You’ll make a great dad.

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won’t you please take me home)
Guns N’ Roses best describe my feelings with the chorus of this song. What am I talking about?? I’m going home. Yes after almost three and a half years I’m going back home. The circumstances may not be the best but to be honest I’m glad to go home.
To make a long story short. The IND screwed me over. I’m not going into details here. But everything will be alright. I’m going home. I’m already making preparations to get a job and to continue my study through the internet.
Yes I made a life here for my own, so I will miss all the friends I made here and all the things I was doing. I learned how to be a good waiter and bartender, how to organize festivals etc, how to dance salsa and merengue and I made a lot of friends. I will not say goodbye to my friends. Thanks to the internet the world has become smaller. So to all my friends I say we’ll keep contact.
Here is the song that says it all.

Posted on March 14, 2008 - Filed Under Personal, Suriname
What is the best way to get interested in a dance style?? Let a beautiful woman dance for you. How do you get interested in learning the dance style?? Let a very very beautiful woman dance for you. How do you get good in it?? Let a very very very beautiful woman teach you.
But how do you really get the fever. Go dancing with at least four beautiful girls. And you have to be good so they will complement you.
Yep that is what happened to me. Of all the Latin dance style I like merenque the most. It is a style most played and danced in Suriname. It seems to be in my blood.
Yesterday night I went to Suriname themed party in Holland Casino, with my brother, his girlfriend and a couple of other friends (who happen to be girls :)) The Surinamese band Trafassi (dutch site) was playing. There music is mostly a combination of merenque and kaseko. They are very good in creating that special Surinamese feeling. I had a great time. Listing to the old Surinamese music, dancing till my feet hurt.
Now my feet hurt and I have to work tonight. It is gonna be a hard night at work, But it was worth it.
PS. to my metal friends. I still love hard rock and heavy metal. It is possible to love two are more music genres.
