This year we went on vaca­tion during the summer hol­i­days. Des­ti­na­tion: Tobago (the smaller of the two main islands that make up the Repub­lic of Trinidad and Tobago) located in the south­ern Caribbean Sea just out­side the hur­ri­cane belt. We had a won­der­ful time full of lovely cock­tails, food, people, a jungle trip and lots of snor­kel­ing (in any random order). The people are very nice and warm and environment-​friendly-​aware. Two third of the island is made up of nature reserves and only one third is inhab­ited.

We took a comfort-​class flight which I can rec­om­mend to anyone who wants to fly for more then 7 hours. We were quite fit when we arrived. We went snor­kel­ing one hour after we had arrived. Next year I want to get my scuba diving license, I am infected by the beauty of the under­wa­ter world. More images later after I’ve set-​up my photo album. For now I am back to busi­ness I am gonna miss the Caribbean (…and rum)

I will be taking a well deserved break so you shouldn’t expect any posts until September/October… Hasta luego mi amigos.

I have been very busy these days! We did a lot of pitches at the com­pany I’m cur­rently employed with. For relax­ation I gave my girl­friend a Ticket Deluxe for Cav­alia. Before the show we could enjoy a nice glass of cham­pagne (or other drinks) I had chosen the Palm Royal (man did it hit me). After 15 min we went inside the “big white giant tent” called the “Big Top” with room for up to 2000 seats. The show was mag­i­cal, all the sea­sons were visu­al­ized. The winter was “breathtaking”. It’s amaz­ing and fas­ci­nat­ing to see the bond between human beings an horses. It was a mix­ture of dra­matic visual effects, live music, dance, humor and acro­bat­ics. There were over thirty mag­nif­i­cent horses at the show, includ­ing the famous and incred­i­ble Lusi­tano stal­lions. After the shows we could visit the sta­bles and got a Audio CD and a cal­en­dar. We really enjoyed this well deserved evening together.

I have been free-​lancing for a while now and it’s time again to start work­ing on my car­reer!
I have had two inter­views at two dif­fer­ent com­pa­nies. Bright Alley Inter­ac­tive Com­mu­ni­ca­tion and Radio538 Inter­ac­tive (a dutch radio sta­tion). Ear­lier I can­celled an inter­view at a dutch broad­cast­ing com­pany.
Both inter­views were very pleas­ant! At Bright Alley Inter­ac­tive Com­mu­ni­ca­tion works an ex-​co-​worker from the pulse.interac­tive days (internet-​bubble-​dotCOM)! Now it was up to me to choose between them, It’s a lux­u­ri­ous prob­lem (I know) but I can tell you I found it very dif­fi­cult to choose! In the end Bright Alley IC won. Why, you might ask simply because they gave me that dotCOM feel­ing I’ve missed over these years. So here’s to a Bright Future!

Today I got fired! A suprise? No not really!!! Our whole depart­ment got canned! Sadly really lousy man­age­ment and sales caused it! So I’m job-​hunting as of today, I got some good leads so we’ll see…

We just came back from our lovely vaca­tion at the caribbean. Man do I love it! The people are relaxed, the water is crys­tal clear (not like the sky), fresh fruit every day and the rum, the rum is always gone.

We are very excited, we’re going again to the caribbean this year! This time we will go to the Domini­can Repub­lic at the right-​side of Haiti. We will be land­ing on the air­port of Santo Domingo and go from there to our hotel. See ya later man!
