Yesterday I had I chance to try it. The difficult parts were trying to keep an even pressure of the pen and keeping my hand steady.
So, here it is. My first drawing using a graphic tablet.
Encouraging.

Graphic Tablet
A few weeks ago I borrowed a Medion graphic tablet from my friend.
Yesterday I had I chance to try it. The difficult parts were trying to keep an even pressure of the pen and keeping my hand steady.
So, here it is. My first drawing using a graphic tablet.
It may looks like a 5-years old child's drawing but I think I did pretty well for a first timer.
Encouraging.

Verliefd
I just got back from two amazing places: Rovaniemi and Reykjavik.
Rovaniemi was amazing in the winter. The temperature ranged from -16 to -30 centigrade when I was there. I had to wear a couple layers of clothes and even a balaclava to keep my nose from getting blocked. Almost everyday I had frozen water vapor on my eyelashes. Everything was white from the snow.
Amazing things I did in Rovaniemi: reindeer safari, husky safari, snowmobile safari and hiking in the snow to a look-out tower.
Every activity was worth the trouble. Every activity left me with a sense of serenity, magic, peace and space. And freedom.
Imagine seeing snow-covered trees from the top of a look-out point. Everything was white as far as your eyes could see.
A few photo's of Rovaniemi and the surroundings:
Iceland was also amazing. I knew I would love Reykjavik even before I set foot there and I was correct. I am charmed by Reykjavik. I am charmed by what I saw in Iceland.
Iceland is really a land of contradiction. I stayed in Reykjavik but had the good fortune of visiting places outside Reykjavik: the golden circle and Reykjanes peninsula.
The route to the golden circle took me to the snowy and cold part of Iceland via snow-covered mountains.
The route along Reykjanes peninsula took me through the rocky part of Iceland.
Just like Rovaniemi, my visit to these places left me with a sense of magic and peace. It also left me with a sense of awe. When I saw the mountains, the water from the cliffs... I could feel the power of nature and I felt so small. Something inside me said, here is the place I could and would love to live in. I could get in my car and just drive around Iceland, get lost in its impressive nature.
I fell in love with what I saw in Iceland.
I'm in love. And I would not mind moving there. Not at all.

Things I Miss
I just got back from a wonderful vacation and realized I am missing some things.
I miss the sense of space around me.
The sense of peace around me.
The sense of freedom.
The stillness.
I miss the snow.
The snow-covered trees and rooftops.
The frozen rivers and lakes.
The falling snow.
I miss my mother.
My dogs.
My friends.
I miss having dogs around me.
Having things to do.
Having friends around.
I miss the familiar things.
I miss the sense of space around me.

My dogs.

90% Off for Last Christmas Stuffs by V&D
I was surprised that V&D Leeuwarden still had Christmas stuffs on sale when I went there on 31 January 2011. Most other shops are already done with the Christmas stuffs and are selling Valentine's Day stuffs.
All Christmas stuffs were 90% off. Very cheap for the next Christmas. For example, a box consisting about 30 golden-coloured Christmas ball was now around 1.30 euro from the normal price of 12.95 euro. The downside, being very late (in late January), there were not so many stuffs on sale.
About a week ago I saw the same thing at V&D Alphen a/d Rijn. There were even less stuffs there - only one table.
