November 21 If i fail........ I try againwatch the video
u might have seen him already..but it made me think
November 20 President of Europ!!!Its an honour for our country
The first president of Europ.
Our Herman van Rompuy dreamed as a kid to be a president.
a childs dream becomes reality.He is a noble unknown guy. A lot of journalist never heard from him.
They needed some explanation.
the UK media was very impolite writing abt him..and my first thought was.. Jesus shut up!!!
Remember Blair!!! ( Hand in hand with Mr Bush )
U dont know a thing about Mr. van Rompuy and u judge. Shame on u Guys
But the dutch journalists are positiv..they say he managed Belgium So he can manage Europ
His job is to prepare the european top meetings
contacts with the world leaders.
starting for 2,5 - 5 years.
Succes Mr van Rompuy.
 November 14 Childrens day[] IndiaChildren's Day is to celebrate "childhood". On Children’s Day tribute is payed to all children in the world. Children are loved by one and all. They win over our hearts with their angelic eyes and innocent smiles. It makes one realise that maybe that’s the way God wanted us to be.
Tx Pety for the Info. Kids ...hmmm Some have it easy...cornflakes???? and glass of juice some have a hard time to get food every day...walking around on the streets. Some have a hot bath even twice a day..... some are happy with a sheet, to cover them for he cold. Some have toys...even a kids laptop. some are happy with a story telling friend.
Its such a difference ............. where the stork drops u. November 12 I wonder I got this pic in a mail ( Tx Deeps) and i started to wonder....

How they get dressed??
Imagine they have something in the eye...

November 06 Paul SatkunanayagamA colleague of mine gave me a magazine from Terre des hommes this morning
A very interesting interview took my attention.
THE SILENT WAR IN SRI LANKA
The war in Sri Lanka is over after a 26 year fight. In Mai this year the last Tiger rebels were defeated by the government army.
Father Paul Satkunanayagam takes care of ex child soldiers and visited refugee camps.
 Those camps are inaccessable for outsiders. Ppl were desperate but asked him to go and tell their story to the outside world.
Father Paul is a Sri Lankan from Batticaloa and well known by everybody living in the northeast of sri lanka
WHat he did during the war and still does for those kids ...well he has a place in my heart.
 pls read more of him on this website and that the ppl in the north are still fighting for a normal life.
Cos even the war is over....the pain is still there.
Father Paul U got my attention. Thumbs up!!!
 October 29 An autumn walkFoggy morning.
a small world. A view from my office window.
 I came home at 12 after 4 hrs office work with a head ache ,painfull throat and running nose.
I was thinking when i was driving home....i eat and then horizontal. I dont do a thing today.
But my hubby thought different...change clothes we go for a walk it will do u good, he said
so as a perfect wife ( hihi) i went upstairs to do what he asked.
And indeed i was reborn after the autumn walk..
Here some pics of the forest. Autumn dress.
 I call this my Forest..There is no path or tree i dont recognise.
 These mushrooms look so irrealistic .Where are the gnomes?? October 21 A kiSs Words sweet from the lips
yet not as sweet as a kiss hearts be healed with a wish
sealed with a kiss sweetened by a tender lips
innocence in a childs kiss care be showered by the lips
affection in a mothers kiss strength to gain in a firm lips
courage in a fathers kiss Pleasure an endless bliss
honey in a lovers lips moments in pain and joy to kiss shared with love by a friends lips sealed with joy by every lips
blessed are the lips that kiss Tx

 October 10 Father DamianA small country with a Holy Father
Damien
Damien was born as Jozef ("Jef") De Veuster as the seventh child in the family. Following in the footsteps of his brother Auguste (Father Pamphile), Damien became a Picpus Brother On March 19, 1864, Father Damien landed at Honolulu Harbor in downtown Honolulu as a missionary.
The Native Hawaiians became afflicted by diseases inadvertently introduced to their islands by foreign traders and sailors. Thousands died of influenza, syphilis and other ailments which had never before affected them. This included the plight of leprosy .Damien's arrival is seen by some as a turning point for the community. Under his leadership, basic laws were enforced, shacks became painted houses, working farms were organized and schools were erected.
As indicated in his diaries, in December 1884 Damien went about his evening ritual of soaking his feet in boiling water. He could not feel the heat because he had contracted leprosy. Despite this discovery, residents say that Damien worked vigorously to build as many homes as he could and planned for the continuation of the programs he created after he was gone. Father Damien died of leprosy at 8.00am on April 15, 1889, aged 49.In 1936, the Belgian government asked for his body to be returned to native soil. It was brought back aboard the Belgian sailing ship Mercator and now rests in Leuven, an historic university city close to the village where Damien was born. After his beatification, the remains of the right hand were returned to Hawaii.
He gave his life for the people with leprosy
and to morrow october 11 th in the Vatican Pope Benedict XVI will make him Holy..

  September 01 OnamHappy Onam to my Indian Friends
The following song is often sung over Onam: (Translation)
August 23 Sunday afternoonAs we had the intention to go to Antwerp.
we had to go to my mom in law first and thats why it became a bit late to drive to Antwerp.
Plan B
The Saeftinghe its a protected area of nature. U can make a tour with a guide.Its very dangerous cos when the rising tide is there u can be isolated in 5 minuts and theres no way back.
Today they celebrated the yearly festivities.
It was wonderful to see so much boates together
 u notice that they are laying there in the sand
They have to wait till the rising tide to sail out.
we walked a bit further and there i saw my fav.
 Its a special one dont u think
After the walk in the warm sun we went back to have a drink.
a local band was playing there. Awesome music and as u can see.Small boys and a girl playing the stars out of the sky
Our future musicians. awesome
 and a fresh drink to cool off with old friends.
August 13 Our humble kingBelgium has royalties...
we pay taxes for their SURVIVAL. Oeps........ i use black humour.
But its the truth and we cant deny.We pay for the royals.
So hear the latest news
King Albert bought a new yacht cost.4,6 million.
 During his judgements on july 21Th he said that we need more ethics and less materialism.
OHHHHHHHHHHHH..he probably forgot, or maybe his yacht was already ordered??
Now he reacts like this ""My yacht is the only place on this earth where i have some privacy.
He forgot his castel.
 SO now we wait for the pics of the paparazzi.
seems he invites the heads of states on his boat. He cant do that on a rusty one, is it?
CYA guys Im in the Ardens till sunday evening. Climb and walk. EAt and sleep.  August 07 keep ur hands of our kidsYesterday evening i saw a documentary abt child slaves around Delhi
Kids working .Cutting stones.
A woman acted as if she wanted to buy stones.That way the owner of the stone cutting factory trusted her and showed her around..He was not aware that she was having a camera with her to put everything on video. Kids cutting stones.
So with a trick she had proof of child labour. A German company was well known ordering stones from that company.
She confronted the company in Germany with the video..First they said..hmmm this is a trick Yes????
The supplier confirms there is no child labour at all...But after a while they said..But see...we have certificate..that proofs No child labour
it seems that u can get a certificate that what u buy is not made by kids hands. But the lady could buy such certificates for lil money. She showed him same certificate as he showed her.
Its not only in India of course...Im aware of that..Im not naiv.
and now i get this under my eyes.
Action pour les enfants ( french)
Action for the kids.
Cambodja.
a dream market for paedophiles. Lil girls are sold for prositution nets. Parents give their kids for a handfull of dollars
and streetkids...???

And those guys?? when they get caught??? they bribe a police officer.
Kids need to be kids..
play...go to school.....have fun on the beach..wounds on the knees.
and most of all being LOVED..
I dont want to insult or hurt any one..but this last weeks..so much things happened around me..that i had to write this.

after a whole week reading that 2 baby elephants were taken away from their mom,
and after long chats with friends abt this horrible event. This Good news
Copy from the Island News ( Hope im not doing something illegal here)
I Hope that the Island News Guys forgive me...But i need to share this good news with my space friends.
President moved by elephants’ suffering President Mahinda Rajapaksa has decided that two baby elephants Diyawadana Nilame of Sri Dalada Maligawa forcibly brought to Kandy last Saturday from the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage be returned to their mothers, according to highly placed sources. The President had taken serious note of media reports on severe suffering inflicted on the elephant calves and their mothers faced with a serious health risk as milk was clotting in their breasts and the presidential decision would be conveyed to the Sri Dalada Maligawa authorities shortly, sources said. A group including police personnel led by Diyawadana Nilame Pradeep Nilanga Dele separated the baby elephants from their mothers after a struggle and brought the calves to Kandy, though the law requires that only claves over five years of age be removed from their mothers. Both elephants are below five years. However, the Cabinet at the request of Minister of Sports and Recreation Gamini Lokuge had granted permission for two claves to be gifted to Sri Dalada Maligawa presumably oblivious to the legal requirement at issue and the fact that they had not yet been weaned from breastfeeding. The Wildlife Department under whose purview elephants come had not authorized the separation of the baby elephants on Saturday, sources said. The Young Zoologists Association on Wednesday charged that the two baby elephants were being beaten with poles by their keepers as they had turned aggressive deprived of mother’s milk and care. Their mothers are pining in Pinnawala.
July 28 Trip with cycleAs i have one week free time, i try out my new bicycle. Although running is still my favorite sport.
Yesterday we ride from 11 am and we want to stop in Terneuzen a city at the borders of The Schelde.
But everything did not go as we wanted.
the weather changed ..sun gone ..dark clouds came.
the bars were closed. so we ride in a hurry home. 52 km. Ohh and my ass hurts so much.
Today a small trip to Sint Niklaas a city 15 km away from our house
Sint Niklaas has the largest market place of Europ.
U see me riding in the middle of that market place.
We used a natural road .U dont need to ride in traffic . SO that give a very safe feeling.
The town of Sint-Niklaas is a vibrant and modern city in the heart of Flanders (the north of Belgium). It has about 70.000 inhabitants and is a stone's throw away from major Belgian cities as Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. Sint-Niklaas is also the capital of the Waas region, which is why it has such a strong influence on the entire region. Sint-Niklaas has lots of events and activities for just about any visitor. There are three major cultural sites in Sint-Niklaas: the leading library, the theatre with a diverse and self-willed programme and the brand new cinema complex Siniscoop. The rich variety of bars, dining rooms and restaurants in the town centre and the quarter near the railway station makes Sint-Niklaas the place to be in the region. Add a few interesting museum collections and you get the perfect mix for a day out.
