It's been a while...

Seems like time is going faster an faster, been almost 3 years since my last post here.
I see a lot of new faces, some of the old buggers aswell.
Anyways, I've met my girl here december 2012, married her a few years later and she moved from Vietnam to belgium shortly after.
Next month my sweet wife will graduate here as a nurse, she already has a job waiting for her in the old folks home just around the corner. She has worked so hard to learn the language and I'm so proud of her.
We are still crazy about eachother and keep going strong. After she starts working we plan on starting a family, I really look forward to that. So that will be most likely the next time i'll drop in to leave a message.
Stay safe, take care of eachother. Know that Jenny and I are forever grateful to cs and all of you for having these blogs where we met. Don't give up hope. Someone is out there.

For those that remember me

Hiya weirdos,
Just wanted to let you all know me and the lovely Jenny finally got married like written in my farewell blog a few years ago. It was a nice traditional thing, confusing af for me but still fun ??, government screwed up a bit and it still took us about a year before we could actually live together but when it was possible I picked her up and brought her home on Valentine .. yeah I'm such a romantic.. we had no trouble adjusting to each other, everything just seemed to fall into place. She has been busy learning the language,doing some volunteer work and such. She is doing excellent and I do think she really feels home, my family absolutely loves her, she made some friends and all that.. she will start to study next September and that will keep her busy for a few years and we also hope to start a family soon.. guess I'll come back to write a blog about that when the time has come.
Anyway, friends I hope life has been good to you all. It sure has been wonderful for me. Take care

A Cs-legend

8 months ago I have said my goodbyes.
You told me I would be back, my reply was that nothing would make me return to the blogs. And now this tragedy has brought me back, so guess you were right again.

I don't know where to begin to describe this legend, this wonderful man that was my first friend on CS, a man loved and respected by many of the bloggers.

This man combined great humour, with great writing, some seriousness,..
This man showed respect to all, a man of great honour.

He was famous for many reasons, but i guess most famous for his annual awards. He would always make sure everyone received one, and from the amount of text he included in those blogs it was obvious he spend much time in preparing them.

So dear Simmo, I think I may speak for all here that you will be missed. We wish your beloved family much strength in these difficult times.


*sorry for not being here to reply to the confusion.
Simmo has passed away on May 30th 2015.
I don't know how it happened. I only know because of the post of friends and family on his FB account.

The end...

First time I joined CS, I only browsed some profiles.. I didn't get any response so I left and forgotten all about this place.

Many months later I received a mail, someone had messaged me, a scammer, but hey it made me come and check what this site was about. Thats when I discovered the blogs.

Ever since that time I became a regular.

I've had some great moments here, also some that I regret.
At certain time I was forced to get in the middle of attention, a place I didn't want to be at. However my honour as a gentleman left me no other choice then to step up for those without voices. The legendary fights, How I hated them, but i do hope the people that were around in those days realise that the fakes and bullies had to be dealt with. I know some still blame me partly for disturbing the peace of these pages during that time..

During those days behind the screens me and my Jenny started to know eachother, our love was so fresh and fragile but it was clear she was behind me and my values. I am so thankful for her support during those days.

After the disturbing elements were removed I took a step back and limited my posts and comments, Partial to let peace return here, but most of all to give my Jenny the attention she deserves.

Now me and my jenny have met a few times, we have shared some of our experiences with all of you here. Now it is time for us to take the next few steps. Our marriage is coming up next january, we will have much work to prepare papers so she can come live here, it will take some time, but we'll get it done, be sure of that.

Anyway in the tradition of all fairytales, It is time to conclude with... They lived happely ever after.

I wish you all the best. Thank you for being friends, thank you for sharing part of your lives with me, thank you for being part of my life.

ACN

I grew up in a fairly normal family, not rich, not poor.. we didn't have pc when growing up, we didn't need it. But i wanted one so badly, so about 16 years ago, with my very first paycheck, I bought myself one.

It didn't take to long before i became a regular member of a IRC-chat. I chatted there every day many hours, made some good friends, We didn't know eachothers real names but Squall, capergirl, rockyL, Bobby-Tx, Kevin_eng, and so many others i'll never forget. We had a good group from all over the globe. One of the guys was Los-K, he knew much more about computers then any of us, he tought us many things. I remember those were the early days of voice chat.. Los-K had created a chatroom on his own site that allowed us to actually talk to eachother. That is normal now but in those days it was so spectacular, you still needed to push a button before you could speak. The chat changed, we were allowed to use Mirc, me and the guys all started scripting and it was so much fun. Always competing and showing off the new features our scripts had. Those days were the GWO era (Geek World Order).

Anyway, it was an amazing time and i cherish it for as long as i live.
For many of those friends back in the days i wonder how they are doing now, Did squall and Lara got married as planned? Did Kim and kev get back together? I think about all of them often.
But sadly enough, I won't need to wonder about Los-K anymore, I just found out he has died about a year ago from a heartattack.
Strange how much impact his death has on me, I haven't spoken to him in 10 years or so. Los-K, Carlos.. I'll never forget you and the times we shared. Until we meet again.

We have been on a photoshoot to get some pictures taking for our wedding.. My girl looks so great in wedding dresses and i have to say... I didn't look to bad either in a suit. But NO we won't show these pictures yet, untill marriage only are parents are allowed to see them. The rest of you will have to wait.

Since i was there during world cup, my honey was kind enough to wake me up at 3am to watch football, she even "watched" it with me.

This is when holland was playing....

Looking at it from a different angle...

Not so long ago their has been a shooting at the jewish museum in my country. So ofcourse the entire discussion about israel and palestine has been discussed again.
I'm not a fan of either side, but I can't help getting a bad feeling about how this state of Israel was created.
The world just desided the jews had right to that country cuz they used to live there. What about the rights of the palestine people?

But ok whats done is done, and the palestine seem to be willing to accept this transfer of land to the jews, but the jews still don't stick to the borders that are set. And what does western world do?? Nothing, how can we expect ayone of the islamic world to hold any respect for our international laws and rules, if we don't enforce them for everyone?
Why is it that nobody dares to tell israel to stop the setlements and to take action against it?

Here in europe we have a long history of being occupied by other nations, and even if it was long before my time i can imagen how it feels. A feeling that USA (the nation that should be the first in line to call israel to justice in my opinion) has never experienced. So lets try and imagen, that we (the entire world) deside that from now on the states Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Alabama are from this moment on the new cherokee country, since they were the original inhabitants, so from now on they will make the law there, USA is of no further use. American citizens will have no say anymore about what happens, only the cherokee deside.
Now i imagen this wouldn't be appreciated much by USA.. so how would that be compared to the reaction of palestine against israel right now?

But ok let's say we can convince USA to start talking about accepting this new country... you think these talks could start if the cherokee deside that these 4 states aren't enough and start claiming land in kentucky, virginia, and some other states in that area.
I really have my doubts about that.

My point is, if we ever wanna see a solution for this middle east problem.. we gotta start with ourselves, understand the feelings of all involved, but above all, make everyone play by the rules.

Looking for a new challenge...

I've seen quite some people on my FB that are putting up messages like this the recent months.
Searching a new challenge is great, but for me it would mean you completed your previous challenge first.
For them this phrase actually means, i wanna find a way to earn money while i do less then now to earn it.

I often wonder if these people actually have any understanding of responsability, any concern of pride. I can't imagen what it must be like to fail and give up all the time.
Do they realise they are failing?
Do they realise they are bums?
Do they feel sad about it?
Do they regret being such way?

not sure what to do...

Me and my jenny have plans to get married as you all know. The plans are to get married at her country. It involves a lot of paperwork but i won't bother you will all of that.

But I do got some things on my mind.. I'm wondering what you people think...

So we'll have the official wedding there in traditional way, have a party and all that.
Regretfully my parents are in no condition to make such long trip to be with me on that special day. I got a brother and 3 sisters, but i doubt if any of them would consider making the trip.. i'm not really close with my sisters, with my brother i'm close but he has his own family 2 kids and such so it would be very expensive for them to come.
Besides that i just got 1 aunt but she is also pretty old.

When it comes to friends I just have very few that i consider really close. 1 or maybe 2 of them are considering to go with me for my wedding.

The questions i have... is how do i deal with this?
Do i send these people an invitation for my wedding in vietnam?
OR should I feel obligated to have some sort of service and party here as well? or maybe just a party?

Especially towards my family i find it a difficult choice.
I would very much like to have them with me on this day... but since its so far and expensive i understand they won't attend especially since we aren't close. But if they don't care enough to go with me to vietnam.. should i feel obligated to invite them to a party here to celebrate it?

I dunno, so give me some wise words please.

before/after

A few days ago i was waiting in line at a shop. A friend that i haven't seenin a while comes in.. walks right passed me. So i say hey how are you? He stops turns around, looks at me...uhmm do i know you? This has happened a few times to me so maybe i have changed more then i think. I just can't see it.

Well not to such extend at least.

Other questions i often get are..
So you gotta feel much better now?
Well I tell you, nope not at all. Even when i was such fat, i never experienced any restrictions in my possibilities or movements. Sure it was a bit more difficult to get trough a crowded room, but thats just cuz i needed more space to pass.
I have always been able to climb up and down my truck as much as required, i wouldn't even been scared to challenge many thin people to do the same.
I know some would like to hear me say that being fat was such an awefull experience cuz it helps them to uphold their ideas that fat people are not as good as them. Sorry but that won't happen.

I did however experience some major back pains recently and that is cuz i lost so much weight, my spine needs to adjust to this new position and that could take a while. But it doesn't bother me much anymore so guess the worse part is over.

am i happy with the results?
what result? am i happy cuz i appear more thin? Nope
But i am happy to know that it will be better for my knees and hips and such cuz the way i was going i was bound to get problems with those in the next few years. I know those parts will have suffered much the last few years but at least they won't need to suffer anymore.

So you gotta be more popular now with the ladies?
Uhmm Who cares? First of all I got my lady for life. Second, why would i be interested in someone who didn't like me enough a few years ago? I don't go for shalow people so its their loss, not mine.

Well let's conclude with some pics...

to the unknown lady

dear friend,

I don't know your name, I don't know where you are from.
Actually i know nothing about you.

Nothing except 1 thing.. simmo likes you.

This is the reason why i write to you, and why i consider you a friend already.

You know... simmo.. he has got a big mouth, his sense of humour isn't always the most safisticated. The language that he uses might also not always be the best example of the "Queens english" ..

But enough about his good qualities...

Let's talk about some of his better qualities..

I've know simmo on these blogs for quite some time now.
I gotten to know and respect him as a fair man, a man who is compasionate and cares for everyone. A friendly guy but also righteous. He will stand up for his believes, he will defend what he considers to be right and good.

My new friend, I ask you... be patient with him, cuz sometimes he is very busy, with work but also with his beloved children and grandchildren.
He is a great guy and if he says he loves you, be sure he will do all that is in his power to make you happy.

I ask you be fair and honest with him. You won't regret it.

Good luck to you both.
