No place like home

There comes a time in every journey that you wish the people you love the most would be right there with you. But then they're not. Feeling a little homesick today. Haven't really felt homesick since I went to Thailand but today, I don't know. Started my training again today for my fight on June 22th. As far as it looks for now I'll be fighting on Koh Samui. Back to Samui once again. So good to be able to fight there and see all my friends again. But training was pretty damn hard this morning. A lot of work has to be done. I hope I'll be ready in time. Need to keep my focus straight for the next two weeks.

For now, I just need to keep myself busy to help get my mind of things. My sewing skills come in handy once again, need to fix a pair of shorts for one of the trainers. No problemmmm! Take care!

Did a pretty good job if I may say so myself, without a sewing machine! One happy Thai got his shorts back.  Go me!

Another week

So. I lost one of my jobs this week. The company needed to save some hours so they didn't extend my contract. I knew this was probably going to happen so I wasn't really shocked when they told me. Luckily I made enough money for my trip to Asia and since I'm leaving in three weeks already I won't be bored for that long.. I still got two smaller jobs left so can't complain really. The one thing that I will definitely not miss about my job is having to get up at 4.30AM when I had to start work at 6.00AM. I will miss my dear colleagues though. Great people to be around, made work that much more fun to do. 

I should probably start making the final arrangements for my trip to Asia. I keep putting things off. Last year I was so worried I had everything arranged weeks before it had to be done really. But this year I'm just like: oh right, yeah, hmm, need to fix that as well.. Oh well, I'll do that in a week or so..  I'm not stressed out about anything. It all just seems and feels so easy because I've been through all of it already. No stress! Love it. Just need to fix my insurance, pack my bag and print my ticket. That's it really, a.k.a. I'm almost there already! 

February 28th was my moms birthday. We threw her a surprise party with all of her friends. We had to keep this a secret for almost two monts and keeping it a secret got harder every day. Luckily we were able to make it work and she didn't expect a thing. She was shocked when we stepped into the restaurent . It was a big succes. The food was absolutely amazing as well. And it was great to see all of her friends again. Just a casual night out with a bunch of great ladies. Amen. 

And of course. My blog wouldn't be doing well if I didn't say something about my adorable cat. Last night he came up to me while I was watching tv and skyping. I think he slipped into a coma. He's an idiot and I love him for being like that. That's it for now. I'll update my blog soon again. Take care!

Perseverance

Last thursday I went back to the Thai Ambassy in Amsterdam to pick up my passport, including my visa! All set to go now, five weeks left. Thankfully I didn't have any problems this year, last year getting my visa was a bit more of a struggle. I hope the next five weeks will go by so fast. I'm so done with Holland and especially with our climate. All this snow and freezing cold temperatures. It's not even funny anymore. I can't wait to walk around in my shorts again. 

I was supposed to fight February 17th but due to a concussion I had to cancel my fight the week before. I had trained so hard for my fight and all of a sudden it wasn't going to happen anymore. I was a bit down about it and I took a little time off for recovery and setting things straight again. I got back to training this week and I decided to just have fun until I leave for Thailand. So no more fight before I go to Asia, I will pick that up when I'm there. Until then, I'm just going to do whatever I feel like. And yesterday.. I felt like doing MMA! So for the first time in my life I joined the MMA training at my gym. I loved it, a great group of guys and it's just a completely different experience. I am definitely going to do this more often. 

Last but not least, before I finish this post, I would like to congratulate my cat on his perseverance. He's way too big for this box, but his size has never stopped him from doing whatever he feels like doing. So in this case, he made himself fit into this box. He's been sitting in there for over 30 minutes already. Way to go boy! Dream big, or maybe small.. 

Stresslevel: UP

Yesterday contained way too much stress for me. We all know that when something bad happens to someone or something you love, you are most likely to get stressed out. You feel bad, you wish you could do something to make it better or you wish this bad thing didn't happen at all. Yesterday was my day to wish I could do something to make things better. For a couple of days already my cat wasn't able to eat like he normally does (how much love I've got for my cat, he only has one love in his life; food) so we had to take him to the vet to see what was wrong with him. Almost immediatly she stated he needed to get some surgery done on his mouth to remove a couple of teeth which had been causing an infection. We had to leave him and we could pick him up in the evening again. Surgery is never without risk so I was a little scared something would go wrong. Luckily after a couple of hours the vet called to let us know everything went really well and he should probably make a full recovery. We picked him up but he still wasn't fully awake from the anestatics, which made it pretty hilarious watching him walk around the house like a drunk person (I know, I'm probably going to hell for laughing at this). One day has passed now and it looks like he's making a good recovery. At least he's got his love for food back..

Some people may think; all this for a cat? But this is not just a cat. This is my buddy. Animals have unconditional love. They will always love you, no matter what (well, in this case, as long as I feed him..). It's no secret I have a good bond with my cat, he cheers me up, he wakes me up, and he has a way of looking at me like; hey whatsup. Always a little friend at home. When things like this happen it stresses me out. I'm just really happy my buddy is doing well again. That's it for today. More posts on its way. 

Song of the Day

Next to Impossible

I'm back, and with that so is my lovely cat. His name is Felix and when he's around I never get anything done. Had to do some studying this afternoon, guess how that went. F to the Ailure. We did have some good quality time though.
