Christmas and New Year stories – was it a good start of 2007?
Congratulations with successful entering year 2007. Hope you have your wish list of dreams for 2007 completed and ready. It is nice to have a plan of actions to get things done as you want. Also not all plans are happen to materialize as you want them or even may have an opposite effect. I have planned 3 events to make a good start of year 2007.
They were:
- Christmas charity bazaar participation
- Christmas dinner with girl-friend’s parents
- New Year in Amsterdam
- Christmas charity bazaar – French table.
Volunteering and being proactive is key to meeting new interesting people. Thanks to Karin, I was glad to be introduced and help the organizers of the French embassy representation at the Christmas Charity Bazaar. It was a first time I have participated in the Charity event of this sort. Doing various tasks from labeling and carrying the boxes with goods to actual selling various goods off the French table.
- Was it a good start for year 2007? Yes, it was a good start.
It was also an excellent opportunity to buy special Christmas souvenirs brought from all around the world. I was even introduced to the French ambassador. Nice. So I got valuable experience and understanding of charity events and I believe that I would participate in few more or even organizing similar ones at some point in future.
- Christmas dinner with girl-friend’s parents.
Last year was a great year. I have met a very special girl. We had amazingly good and quality time during 2006. This is the first time I have ever said to the girl: “I love you”. She invited me for a wonderful Christmas dinner with her parents, a dalmatin dog Agir and a cat Manic.
- Was it a good start for year 2007? Not really, it was more of a good end.
Not realizing how big of event it is for a girl to introduce a boy to her family, I was stupid enough to accept invitation. I believe my readiness in taking it to the next level has frightened and misbalanced the girl. She seriously started to doubt if “she is ready and if I’m the right person for her”. The dinner with parents never happened for me. After a few drama evenings when I have felt attraction was replaced by fear and doubt of uncertainty we have separated. Unfortunately this makes it even harder for me to imagine and experience same depth of feelings again. I have decided that I would not meet any parents of my future mistress. This was my most memorable Christmas present of year 2006...
I was invited by my Dutch friend to spend New Year in
Amsterdam with my girl-friend. Instead I had to go there by myself.
- Was it a good start for year 2007? Yes, it was a great start!
The trip turned out to be a great fun. The most memorable events were visit to the city Hague. It is a home to Dutch Parliament with tiny and calm streets, but also a location of a place called Small Holland, which is a museum of models of the most renown Dutch attractions and locations. The city of
Amsterdam is a pure magic during the New Year eve. Millions of fireworks rock the sky at 12.00. The best view you could get is at Museum square and from one of the bridges in downtown. If it is true that the year would have the same spirit as the way you have celebrated the New Year night, then I’m happy to look forward into an amazingly active, fun and positive year.
Either not all events that I have planned o start a new year happened in the way I wanted, it also gave me emotions and ideas to write and present my 1
st speech for the Toastmasters public speaking club, which is I’m sure is a very… good… start of year 2007.

Blogging, eh?
From this post I got to know, you have feelings :))
Yeah, before it wasn't evident :)
"D'ouu", as a famous character says...
Hurts... Really sorry.... But really, it's better to get hurt now (not that it's any good, but better now), than if you would have gone to the "next level", and then it happened. I know it's easy for me to say, but try to think of it as an experience, and a positive experience! Haven't U enjoyed all the time you've spent together? On the other hand, after a year of knowing each other, if person gets scared of a thought of a deeper commitment and some extra responsibilities and letting you get in to her life a little deeper, doesn't seem like a very good sign to me... And from what I know - you are NOT a scary person! ...R U?
A word of advice, if you may:
GET THE THOUGHT OF NOT LOVING ANYONE ANYMORE OUT OF YOUR HEAD!!! Feelings come and unfortunately, they also go. And for the most part you don't have any control over them. You can't say: "Love! Come now, I'm ready!" or "Love...eh... u can go now." As you spend time with a person, you get to know that person, you get to like her, you notice some uniqueness, some funny ways of doing things, some weird habits that you happen to like and adore, and with that THE Love will likely be the next step.
But if you close in yourself, trying to protect the feelings from getting hurt, well, you will probably succeed. But as "zh_olga" said - nobody will ever know that you even have feelings.
You said it was the first time you loved (or actually said I luv U). Can it be because you are overly self protective? May it be that your fear of being hurt actually overshadows the desire of being loved?
WOW - I've just made YOU the BAD one! hehe!(no, don't think of it this way, plizz)
tell me what u think and we'll keep talking!
Cheers!
If you don't get stoned with love - GO TO AMSTERDAM!
