After checking out the snow at the park I headed toward the canal for more daring walk. It was a bit scary when I fell because of the sloped road. My legs were stuck with snow when I moved to the side of the to avoid an incoming van. I was trying to get up to the road and fell forward and used my right hand to catch my fall.

I was happy to see my old friends (the coots and the ducks) as they went searching for food and water. They were made for this type of weather more than me for sure. After more than two hours of walking I was ready for a hot cup of chocolate and then went outside to shovel the snow on the terrace of the apartment.

Even with all the snow on the ground the temperature was warm enough and I didn’t even need to wear my gloves outside. Snowy day is a good day for kids and teenagers. Many were making a snowman, riding in a sledge or using ski to get around. It was a winter wonderland in the Netherlands on that day.

I woke up on December 20, 2009 and found the ground covered with plenty of snow. It was actually the second time in a month that we had snow fall. The first time was a few days earlier but with not much damages. As the news had it we were getting snow storm across Europe and with prospect of having a white Christmas.

I haven’t seen this much snow in years and was anxious to explore the neighborhood. By 15:00 hour I went outside to check on the temperature. It was not that cold so I decided to go for a long walk just for the heck of it.

This song speaks to those of us that have been lost without love and when we thought we would never love again, Love Comes Again. We can’t run from lady love even if we try because in the end if we were meant to be with that special someone, Love will find us eventually.

Tiesto – Love Comes Again

You have become what you have always been
Light flickering around with real vision
No words we can speak of paths to be chosen
But all trails that we trek shall lead us back to here

Because our love comes again
Just when I’ve broken down I found
Love can come again
You gotta believe that love comes again
Just when I’ve broken down I found
Love can come again

It’s late at night and I’m still organizing my backup media files. I have three external disks and want to have all the files nice and neat before 2010. To stay awake this late at night I do my best by cranking up some good music on the radio.

Tiesto – Just Be

I was lost
And I’m still lost
But I feel so much better

You can travel the world
But you can’t run away
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be
Make us believe in you
Keep all your light in the dark
If you’re searchin for truth
You must look in the mirror
And make sense of what you can see
Just be
Just be

I should be in bed now since it’s past midnight and I need to get up early so I can catch the rest of the 25th SEA Games in the morning. There is no more event in the afternoon since the closing ceremony will be taking place at 18:00 hour.

I am not in bed yet because I have plenty of energy since I can breath better now for the past few days and I’m listening to music that makes me feel good. Fireflies by Owl City was playing a few minutes ago on a Dutch radio so I thought to look up for an MV to post about it.

Tuesday was a busy day for me, for someone who is on vacation that is. It was a lot of walking around the center of Rotterdam for Christmas shopping and grocery shopping in China town. Then before I knew it I was walking around in another city at the Spazio Shopping Space in Zoetermeer.

It was my first time there at the shopping center. It was very well design and I am going back next week to explore more of area and will take Panasonic my camera with me. I used my Sony Ericsson Satio to take the photos and they turned out quite well.

It was my lucky day again to catch another rainbow on November 10, 2009. While I was taking photo an old lady on her bike came to a stop a few inches from me. I smiled at her and she smiled back and said to me “the rainbow is beautiful isn’t it?”. She told me she was just at a church and people were praying for her. She was biking home and saw me looking at the rainbow. She said it was a sign of good luck. I wished her well then she sped off into the distance.

A few photos of China town in Rotterdam. I thought it was odd to have KFC in the middle of it all but the place is quite popular among the Asians living in the area. I haven’t been to KFC for years and the place is off my list now or else I would have bought some fried chicken to go with my tum maak houng. I was being good and didn’t even visit the bakery. I took at peek at the window and saw many of my favorite sweet and treat.

I spent Monday afternoon doing chores in Rotterdam. I visited the post office and then went to take my photo for the passport and finished the day with grocery shopping in China town. It was a treat to find a display of green papaya and I bought two and has been eating tum maak houng almost daily.

It was a good and productive day to test my new Satio.
