No more bball?
Monday I told my coach that I will not play unless I have an insurance, today Wednesday, still not solved. The team wants me to pay 425 EUR from my own pocket for the special insurance I need since I'm not a Dutch citizen. But cmon, I'm NOT gonna pay money for playing. No way in hell. I love the game but if I don't get any insurance by Saturday, I will not play! It hurts in my heart and mind that I might not play this season after all. I worked fucking hard to get in that shape I'm in now and it would suck incredible much if I didn't play. What am I gonna do then?
This whole situation is just wack, I hate it. I was in a really bad mood at practice today since I got the email from the board like 1 hour before the practice started. What am I supposed to think? They want me to ask my company to take a monthly fee from my pay check so I can pay the insurance myself? That pisses me off. Would any of the other players pay 425 EUR for an insurance if they had to and if they wanted to play? I don't think so. Damn it, I'm just so freaking angry and frustrated cause I'm risking not playing this season. @#@%%#^@&@&**^!%@$@

If I have to quit, I'm gonna be really sad...

Warwick Avenue
Just got home from a day in Belgium, one practice and one game. I'm so tired and my foot hurts...Well, riding in the car with Lisa and Sev makes the trip a lot funnier...I will post some pics later on our car trip...NINJAS! :D
We lost the game...AGAIN! We where only 7 players, our PG got 5 fouls in the 3rd quarter and our Center got 5 fouls in the beginning of the 4th. The ref's they sucked. I didn't get any fouls but some of my team mates, he really didn't give them anything and th Belgian team got away with everything! But I guess we need to get used to the rough play, since next weekend we'er playing against Perik Jumpers, in the first game of teh season, and they play even more fysical than this team. And I really hope that we have more players than 7...at least 10 would be nice.

I gotta go fix my nails this week. My nails look like shit and it's not pretty. But maybe I have to wait until Friday when I get my long long long lost pay check. Not that it has been lost, it's just me who's been lost without it, I'm so broke and can't wait until I can start live again. So Sunday, shopping day with Lisa and Sev...Yaaaaay!
Lisa had this lovely song on one of her CD's. I can't stop singing it...
When I get to Warwick Avenue...

Mamma Mia...step it up!
Yesterday I had dinner at Caroline and Eric's, then me and Caroline took off to the movie Mamma Mia in Rotterdam centrum. It was a good one with all ABBA songs and cuties in the movie. A chick flick, so Eric was kinda happy that he didn't have to go :) Too bad they are moving...to Leiden. But good in a way that I get to go to Leiden soon.
...and 1 movie was not enough so when i got home I watched my second movie of the Friday evening/night, Step It up 2...I like!
It's really nice weater outside so I think I will go and lay down on the balcony and sleep and watch another movie. Yes I know, I don't do shit, but when the weekend is coming after my normal 42,5h working week and 3 basketball practices I just wanna chill. And I'm broke pretty much, and doing something normally involves money and since I'm kinda short of em' right now, staying home is just fine with me :) And tomorrow we're going to Belgium for a practice and a game. Leaving Barendrecht at 9.30!!! Early!
Now I gotta cook some lunch for me, I'm hungry!

No.6
Yeah baby, that's me in the Binnenland game jersey, I even got my number 6 :)
I'm so tired today, I don't know why but my legs are too tired. Oh and Sunday we're leaving the gym at 9.15, gonna practice and then play a practice game...somewhere in Holland. It's gonna be a long Sunday, that's fo sho'. I really like the girls in my team and Coach Petra is doing a really good job with the team. The only problem I have now is to get my insurance arranged, then I can play without being worried...so next practice, ankle braces on again!

6 months
i was gonna go for a run today but my achilles is kinda killing me. Kinda aching all the time. But I will not let that stop me from playing, I will just rest when we don't have any bball practice and don't walk in high heels...damn, two things that I love. Get sweaty and wear my high heels to work and the club. None of that...unless I have to LOL
Trying to eat healthy, no pizza, no burgers, no kebab, no candy, no alcohol...Man, this sounds like I'm so boring. Can't eat the good stuff and can't work out as much as I want or wear high heels. Dang, I am boring! Well, friday I think me and my new friend Caroline will go for some shopping and food at La Place, or a movie like Mamma Mia. If we're not gonna hang out friday, I think it's IKEA on saturday. I need some stuff for the apartment. I only lived here for 6 months now and it's not until now I realised that I need some stuff. Oh shit, tomorrow it's exactly 6 months since I moved here. 17th of March I moved out here!!! Only 6 more months to go =)

Just another weekend
Just got home from Belgium, we played against the top team in Belgium, Waregem. Last year, my team lost wirh 40pts with two american players.Today we had no americans and "only" lost by 15pts...I think it was 15. Oh I played sooooooooooo bad. I think I had like 4T. Damn. I really sucked today. But hey, a new game next week, and I hope that I will play a lot better than today. But after todays game, it's not very hard to play better than today.
Friday I was supposed to go out with Sevda and Jennifer, but I was so beat. After 15hours at work...(we had our opening party started from 3pm and lasted until 10pm) I just didn't have the power to get dressed and go out with the girls, so I watched 2 episodes of Veronica Mars and then past out and woke up 12 hours later. Had some "brunch", went out for a run, the went to the gym and lifted weights. Got back home, went to the shin clinic for my treatment then went grocery shopping and cooked some dinner. I just love the weekends when I can do whatever and don\'t feel stressed. But it's kind of a pain in the ass having a game on the sunday, cause then you're just waiting for the sunday to come and then all sudden, the Sunday anxiety is here again. Uuuh, I hate Sundays...they are to close to Mondays...and Monday means work!

But now to something more fun. I booked my trip to Thailand, over Christmas and New Years. Yay! I'll be going ther with mami and pops and then 2 days later, the Back family will join us. And today I talked to Rickard and he and his girlfriend might also come to Thailand. That would be freakin' awsome. This time I have to go to Cambodia and maybe some other country. We will see!
Now I gotta unpack my smelly bball stuff and call my girl Jenn in Pennsylvania.

New hoop sneakers
Ok, I bought a pair of bball shoes in Denver, a black pair. I haven't played in a pair of black shoe sin 8 years, but since there Hyperdunk where so comfy and cheap I bought them and thought I'll give it a try, playin in black...They say that black shoes makes you look faster. But after 3 weeks on court now, I couldn't accept my black shoes. "It's all about the looks" So I had to buy a new pair...
This is the 17th pair of shoes I bought in 6months!
I'm a shoe freak I know...

Some travel plans
Last appointment at my physio today, Edwin my man...hope I don't get to see you in a while now. That would mean that I'm healty and no injuries for him to take care of...LOL Being at the physio makes me a lil depressed, it's me and all these half injured old ppl, I'm not injured, just have a sprained muscle and I'm not 50+ (But the good thing is that I can peek on the Rotterdam Men's basketball team when they have practice if I go there a little bit early...hihi)
Still very tired in my legs from yesterdays bball practice, but I decided to go out for a run anyways...before my physio appointment. Warmed up and all, but now, shit, I have a hard time walking...it hurts. But only practice tomorrow, then Thursday I must attend this stupid dinner with the board of directors. I know all the ppl in the board and it's nothing special, it's just that my GM here in this company insists that we ALL must go to this dinner...It's very important because, bla bla bla bla bla......you know the deal.
The fam is planning on going either to Hawaii or Thailand over Christmas and New Years and YES, I'm going with them. Don't think that they can travel somewhere without me. As soon as I hear the word travel, my ears will be very big and I pay a lot more attention. So the dilemma is that the tickets are pretty much the same, about 1400 EUR, but in Thailand everything is so cheap, you live very cheap for 2 weeks. Hawaii on the other hand is more temtping but there is much much more expensive AND we need a hotel to stay in for 2 weeks...In Thailand we have the accomodation for free, since my other half of the fam owns a big house in Ban Phe. So, I guess Thailand it is :)

Only Monday
This week is a little bit quiter than the last ones...
MONDAY >> Skin Treatment, Basketball
TUESDAY >> Physio and Cardio
WEDNESDAY >> Basketball
THURSDAY >> Cardio, Dinner with the board of directors
FRIDAY >> Opening party at my office, Thalia Lounge with the girls
SATURDAY >> Skin Treatment, Cardio and Strenght
SUNDAY >> Basketball Game (Away)
It's only Monday and I'm already tired. My legs are so tired after todays practice, I ran my ass off so I guess tomorrow my legs will feel like 2 concrete pieces. But I can't let anyone beat me when we're running at practice, I need to be the best and now I can feel a slight taste of blood in my throat. Is that a good or bad thing? Feeling like this makes me just wanna work even harder, go out and run until I don't get the taste. I wanna be so tired that my legs won't carry me. But after that I would need a massage. Anyone? Well, at least I know I'm a "train-a-holic" LOL
If it wasn't for the basketball I would go with my friends and do the "Classic". Vasaloppet is the 21st of February, but I have a game then and can't go to Sweden for that. Too bad though case there is like 10 ladies who are going up north to a cabbin, do the race and then maybe have some celebration party :) But, i will cheer for them, here from Holland...after we win our game of course.
Peace my dear friends!

Game time
Saturday I played my first game in the Binnenland blue and red game jersey. We played against Boom, a very good Belgian team in their top division. Everybody said we were gonna get our ass kicked, but we only lost by 6pts. Ok, they had their 3 best players in the National team, but still, we didn't get our ass kicked....we just lost by a few points.
My physio said only 10-15 minutes, more than that I shouldn't try to play the fist game after recovering from my injury. The result was 3/5 2pts, 1/3 3pts, 3reb, 2 to, 1ass and 1 foul. It was ok for being my first game and straight from the injury, only had 1 fully completed practice before this game.
Then after the game, me, Sevda and Michele went to almere to see the Dutch men's national team play against Montenegro and the orange dressed guys lost...It was Montenegros no.5 who beat them, 3 3pts the last 5 minutes. It was just bye bye Holland. Then the 3 of us whent back to Rotterdam, picked up Sus and went to the club, the Vie. The 4 of us had heels on, so our average height was 185 I would say. Not just because we where the talles ladies at the club, but we also looked damn good...LOL.
Sus, Sevda, me, Jennifer and Michele
Today was just a chill day, cleaning my room, doin the laundry, watching some episodes of Veronica Mars and now I'm tired and think it would be a good idea to go to sleep :D Nite nite!

Feels good
Today was my first practice when I could do everything. I played 3 on 3, 5 on 5 and all defense drills. A lil scrared in the beginning that I would hurt my leg again but I didn't. My physio told me yesterday that I can't go1 on 1 and the most explosive exercises, but we didn't do that too much today so i was good. Feels so freaking good to be able to play, although I must say that I don't go 100%, I would say about 85-90% since in the back of my head I'm scared to get injured again. But after Friday at the physio, I think I will be able to even play the game on Saturday...we will see.
My dear friend Christa, the team captain, tried to learn me some bad words in Dutch today after practice. My first bad word is F*** in Dutch...I hear that I need to hang out more with them so they can teach me all the dirty words. LOL
Oh, and last week we got new bags, well, everyone but me...my number 6 is in America. One of the americans brought it home so they had to order a new one for me...typical my luck!
Well, I'm kind beat now, so just one episode of Veronica Mars then I'm out!

Don't drive in Holland
Day after day, I get more and more irritated on the traffic in Holland. They have so many red lights and they are always red!!!!
♥ M
No one is driving, everybody has red...You cannot even turn right when the other cars are going straight ahead, you have to wait until the green light will appear...But it never does. Driving here is driving me crazy! You should hear all the curses that are being said out loud in my car when I'm driving. !#@$%#@##@%$#$. Cmon Holland, who the crap have red lights getting into the roundabouts and inside the roundabouts? Take a guess if there are huge traffic jams here...Uuuuum, YES! Ok, so maybe I should stop hatin' on the traffic, but geeeeeez, cmon Holland!

First...
GAME...Yesterday we played our first practice game, with 7 players...I was not one of them since my stupid muscle won't heal. I hope tho' by the end of the week that I can practice 100% and then saturday playing the 2nd practice game. Well, the team we played against was in the division under us, so good for us that we won by 35pts. Otherwise it would have sucked. I can't wait until I get to hoop, I hate being on the side watching the others play...I WANNA PLAY!
FRIEND...not first, but the best...my girl Julia. I miss you so much. I wish you didn't live in Stockholm, or that I lived in Rotterdam. Having your best girl so far away, that's not cool....not at all. Well, I miss her like crazy and hope that one day we'll be living in the same city and sharing our dreams with our families.
MOSQUITO BITES...or more like 5 of them, big ass bites, like 7cm in diameter...eeeew! bWhy do all bugs like me? Cause I'm so sweet? Or cause they hate me so they have to bite ans sting me...Geeeez, get off my back!
CANDY...in Holland, I just bought today. I got my sweet tooth as you all know. In Sweden I eat too much sweets and candy, but in Holland I managed to stay away from most of the sugar. But today, going to the grocery store, hungry, direct after work...How could I resist the sweet candy laying of the shelf just screaming my name!!!
SEASON of VERONICA MARS...was completed this Saturday. I love that TV show. Thanks DP!
DAY OF THE WEEK, MONDAY...booooooo! Hate Mondays...I was so tired at work today, then I almost fell asleep at home before the practice and now I should go to sleep since it's 11.39pm.
