New year, for what it's worth yeah right...

Wow, this year must have been the worst start of any year ever! Haven't been this unlucky in ages and I always thought bad luck has been part of me since I was born. After a month I'm actually in the state where nothing surprises me anymore, and the only thing I think is "well it can't be that bad as I'm still living!". If 2006 does not improve soon, I think this must be one of those years that it's better not to do too much.

It all started after new year, when Victor and I wanted to travel around Spain (since we both internationals on the Spanish MC haven't been travelling much this year). Anywas, we couldn't as it appeared that the girl's bathroom floor was about to collapse. The neighbour downstairs brought the alarming news. Suddenly all our plans down the drain. At that time I was still able to laugh, since we have two bathrooms, nothing's wrong yet.

One week later, the ceiling in the corridor comes down, since everybody was working in the office, no one got hurt. The mess was incredible, with the celing all the dust came down as well. After staying in a hostal for a few days, we could go back since they stabilised the house. Not only the ceiling in the corridor was dangerous, also the ceiling in the kitchen, men's bathroom, and one bedroom was about to come down. Latest news is that the construction will only start in weeks!! Anyways, still laughing, I'm still standing and we are able to live in our house.

Last week I went back to The Netherlands, some problems with my room and I was invited to facilitate during NATCO II in Utrecht. I actually got the best reverse culture schock upon arrival. I got robbed, lost everything! Still laughing, couldn't do anything else at that time, it already happened. Had to request a new passport, the town council made mistake and my request took longer than the usual process. And if that's not enough, I found out that my sweet former flat mates fucked me and I got some major bills, I need to pay and try to get the money back somehow. Now I'm actually at the point of losing hope in humankind...

And then, the application for MC in Hong Kong, it almost went wrong as I sent my application to three persons, and nobody received anything although I got confirmations.

One month, and it already was worse than all bad things of last year and the years before. I wonder what awaits me for the rest of the 11 months to follow?

Life sucks at times, but still laughing (at least sometimes)...
