Men, oh men!!

We (Girlz nd Pearlz and myself)reveal to you, 10 of the most hottest/cutest/most delicious men alive.

Now 10 men is not a lot considering there are so many handsome men out there but here are a few!

Dominic Purcell,
Probably best known for his performance in the series Prison break. The 43 year old was born in England but raised in Australia. Now why is he handsome?

Big strong man with gorgeous blue eyes and rough looking tattoos. My gosh anyone would be insane not to love him!

Jesse Williams,
Best known for his role as Dr. Jackson Avery in the series Grey’s Anatomy (also a model) was born in Chicago, Illinois. He is 32 years old and, well just look at him!

                                                       Those eyes!! All I will say.

Ryan Gosling,
Obviously any list without this man would be incomplete. I don’t think I even need to introduce him.

                                                                  Enough said?

Colin Farrel,
The Irish actor has those puppy brown eyes that combined with the bad boy look, is just irresistible.

                                                              What did I say?

Wentworth Miller,
Even though he is gay (tiny sad moment) doesn’t mean we can’t still dream of him. Also best known for playing the role of Michael Scofield in Prison Break, the actor looked well bald and in his prison uniform.

                                                                       I told you!

Gerard Butler,
This man could be bald, massively overweight and smelly but would still be sexy! Why? Well because he is Scottish. Close your eyes and just listen to what he has to say. 

                                Even if you don’t understand him, he is still gorgeous.

Ian Somerhalder,
Bright blue eyes and dark hair. The American actor and model even does the half smile/sexy face.

                                                              We are loving it!

Shemar Moore,
The American actor and former model is just a gem to look at. Manly and mysterious.

                                                           
                                                                        Right?

Matt Bomer,
The 35 year old American actor is best known for his role from White Collar (good series). He can also be spotted in Magic Mike alongside mr Tatum himself and a few other handsome men.

                                                                      Cheeky!

Channing Tatum, I think like Ryan Gosling he doesn’t need an introduction because everyone knows him.

                                                     His wife is a VERY lucky lady.

Blog, blog and blog?

Never thought that it would be so hard to “keep up” with your blog. I am sure my 3 die hard followers were really sad when there was no new story online yesterday. I apologize!!

At the end of the week I thought I’d share my views on things that have happened and that I am either sad about or just flabbergasted.

Wenthworth Miller has come out as a gay man... Obviously I am sad about that. But now I am considering a sex change. Anyone have an idea on what male name would suit me?

Miley Cyrus... A few months ago I had no idea who she was, sure I had heard of Hannah Montana... but I didn’t care. This woman annoys me so much because I don’t think that she knows what kind of consequences her actions have towards her younger fans. And where the fuck is her dad? My lord man control your daughter. My dad, I think he would have slapped some sense in me if I was acting like that. BUT then again I was raised properly and I am not famous...

Ben Affleck will be  batman. Please give the man a chance, he might be very good. I don’t understand the whole fuss about that...

Syria.. I don’t even know where to start...

Kim-Jong-un had his ex girlfriend excecuted because she sold a sextape of herself and 11 friends to China… Well that escalated quickly!!

There is also one idiot who believes that pandas are not worth saving… Is he insane? Has he not seen a panda? If you don’t believe me check it out for yourself: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-27/why-i-hate-pandas-and-you-should-too.html

Too much madness for one article if you ask me.

Public transport....

We all use it, some probably a little more often than others (unfortunately). I for one have come to hate trains and busses in Ireland. It seems like I’ve come to hate a lot here but trust me I really love it here.

Yesterday I was on the train that was supposed to stop in Naas so I could transfer to a different train. Now it didn’t stop until we reached Dublin which is a big detour… So I got a bus into work. Spend about 2 hours getting to work instead of the usual one.

Maybe I was in the wrong train, could have been but according to the online schedule this was my train but this being a small station, there are no notice boards and no broadcasts to inform people of the train being delayed or early or anything like that. So if your train is supposed to leave at 07.23 and this train arrives at that time, you take it!! I don’t think I’m being stupid there.

Now this morning (I was late) I wanted to get the 07.44 train in. 07.44 was the time online, on the schedule in my bag it was 07.45, either way that train would get me in to where I wanted to go. Online it said it would go straight down to my final destination BUT on the schedule in my bag it was said to have one stop and then continue to the end. What it actually did was something else all together. It stopped EVERYWHERE meaning I had to run to meet my bus after that…

This happened to me a lot. Wrong trains, wrong stops and being way off from where I want to be.

With busses it’s a little easier, if you hop on the wrong bus you just get off at the next stop. But once you’re on the wrong train, that’s just the end of it.

What made me feel a little better is that I wrote all my morning/late/Monday frustration into one email and sent it straight to Irish Rail!!

They haven’t responded….

FDKK goes Ireland

FDKK  stands for : “ Fuck the fucking cancer” at least I think that translates best. In Dutch it would be “ Fuck die kut kanker”.

On Edge piercing and tattoo shop in The Hague, the Netherlands, started a cancer fundraiser after one of their friends (Christel) discovered she has esophageal cancer. They got the letters FDKK together with an anchor tattooed as a symbol of hope. They decided to tattoo either the letters together with the anchor or the letters on its own for a minimal donation of €20,-.  Donations go to “No Guts No Glory” and “Stichting Droomdag”. Two amazing charity’s.

So far 185 tattoos (in On Edge alone) have been tattooed and probably 100s of t-shirts have been sold.  Also people have just donated money without getting a tattoo or t-shirt! Their total donation now is €13605,-.

They are the only shop in The Hague but there are other shops in Rotterdam (Queen of Rings and Blue Hawaii) and Baarle-Nassau (The Wretched Tattoo) who will also tattoo the FDKK tattoo.

Now for people like myself who live abroad but who would still like to contribute there is “Normal Gets You Nowhere”, they will send over the FDKK t-shirts. Payment is for yourself of course.

I always thought this tattoo shop was great but seeing what they would do for their friend and all other people fighting cancer, they are just that little bit more amazing than any other tattoo shop.

If you are interested in following the whole event, donating money, getting yourself an awesome t-shirt/tattoo please find their Facebook below.

Because at the end of the day, cancer really just sucks!!

Murphy’s Law,

We all have those days, where it just seems that the world is against us. Especially on Mondays because Mondays are just hard.

A few that I think will be applicable to a lot of people are:

-          * There is never a queue for the bathroom unless you’ve already half pissed yourself.

-          * You’ll never just miss one train, always too.

-          * Handsome guys will think your cousin is your boyfriend.

-          * You are never sick until you go on holidays.

-          * Pissing rain and the umbrella is at home.

-          * Forgot your lighter when everyone else has also forgotten their lighter.

-          * No hot water in the morning.

-          * Weekdays are slow, weekends are gone in the blink of an eye.

-          * Never hit your big toe off something, always the small one.

-          * Scary movies will always be on TV when you’re home alone.

-          * Good movies are on when you should be in bed.

-          * The good party’s are the ones where you are too hung-over to go.

-          * The one hot day is also the day that you’re wearing jeans.

-          * Always see things you want to buy when you have no money.

-          * Calvin Harris sold out within 40 minutes.

-          * Finding a weird looking animal in your bottle of water, when you’re really thirsty.

The last one actually just happened... Just another example of what Monday is really like. The tickets for Calvin Harris' show were also really sold out within the hour. Still sad about that.

Anyways, I can think of these things all day but I think I’ll just be really depressed after that.

Happy Mondaaays... 

You want your food hot? Well that’s just insane...

My parents, aunt and grandmother went out for a meal yesterday. They went to a restaurant that my parents have loved for a long time. This morning my mother told me they would not be going back there again. Apparently all the nice staff don’t work there anymore and my mum thinks they have a new owner. The waitress was a girl that barely spoke any Dutch (which is weird if you live in Holland) and was lacking somewhat of a brain. My grandmother ordered a dish with baked potatoes and apparently it was very hard to explain to the girl that she didn’t want them cold but hot... Very annoying if you ask me. Who serves any food but salad cold anyways?

Anyways this inspired the following.
Behold the differences between pubs/restaurants in Ireland and Holland.

Now before I tell you why, what and how, a little background story.

My last job in Holland before I moved to Ireland was in a cafe-restaurant. I don’t think ill ever work with a crowd that was that insane, caring and involved. My boss was a definite one of a kind. She taught me everything I know about the industry. She is also the reason I can never go out for a proper meal without cursing and commenting at everything. Thank you for that ;D.

Few things I learned were:
- Never put your fingers in a glass (in Ireland they stick their fingers in the glass every chance they get)
- always, ALWAYS walk around with a tray (in Ireland you just walk to the table 4 times to serve the drinks)
- always, ALWAYS grab the glass at the bottom and not the top otherwise (as my boss used to say) you might as well stick your fingers in that persons mouth. Makes for a lovely picture in your head doesn’t it? (Since I’ve been here I had probably every bartenders fingers in my mouth)..
- Never let any part of the beer tap touch the beer in the glass (in Ireland does always touch, because they want to create the mini layer of foam).
- Rinse glasses before you pour beer (everything in Ireland goes into the dishwasher...) Yes that is true, cold beer, warm glass. Yuuummm
- Smile, smile and smile godammnit. This is very important for tips!! (In Ireland people don’t really tip, so why smile?).

I think I can go on for a little while longer but I think most of these are bar rules and not necessarily the rules that I learned. There are some other differences but those are just culture differences?

For example:
- Greet the costumer when they walk in. (Here you get a “Hi” when you’re at the bar).
- The waitress comes to you (nope, here you have to walk to the bar, sometimes even to order your food).
- In Holland during the summer times you can sit outside almost everywhere. (Once again in Ireland this is not the case, such a shame).

These are a few differences that popped up in my head today. Every time I’m out I think of something else again.

Anyhows, enjoy your weekend and those lovely fingers!! 

Ohh you think I am pretty? Ehhhhh I.... eeehhh... mhh

Compliments. We all get them, probably not as frequent as we want them but eh what can we do?

Now some people handle compliments really well, especially in movies (otherwise it would be called real life). Compliments are always easier to make than to receive (I believe). If someone were to compliment me on my work or my ability’s I would be slightly shy on accepting them BUT if someone were to compliment me on my hair or outfit or any other compliment appearance wise, I would just look at the ground, go all red and inform them about my pet rock…

Handing out compliments is easy for me, I am like Santa handing out gifts on Christmas morning,

The compliments on someone’s furniture are easy to receive because the usual response is: “Thanks, got them in IKEA” all the credit goes to them, you’re just the one who stuck it all in the room. Compliments on someone’s outfit are hard to accept because you want to make sure you gracefully accept the compliment. For example:  “You have such beautiful eyes” this is the moment were you DO NOT under any circumstances want to mention your pet rock (might be a little sad) but you want to say something like: “aww thanks, that is so sweet”. If you go “yeeeh duhh” just a waste of you being nice. That person has probably received too many compliments and just doesn’t know what to do with them.

Where you can be a little cocky (I think) is shoes. Why? Because you were the genius who knew they were awesome and bought them. “loving your shoes” my response will be: “Aahhh yes I know, Vanz did a great job one this pair” this way still all the credit goes to Vans and you take little for buying them.

Other compliments that I find hard to receive would be compliments like: you are so good at maths (not me) or you are so funny, your French sounds so native!! Whenever these come out its hard for the person to remain cool and not fail at whatever they were just complimented about.

I have been thinking about a proper way to solve these issues and I think that people should wear signs. One saying: I handle compliments really well. And another t shirt (to save the receiving end and the complimenting end a lot of embarrassing moments) I do not handle compliments well, please send them by email so that I can think of a proper/graceful way to accept your kindness!!

I think that money can be made off of this!!
