ERASMUS Bridge | Weekend Snapshot #12
Dec 30th
This is the ERASMUS Bridge in Rotterdam, beautiful in the evening.
This was taken after my husband and myself had dinner with friends. Camera which was used was mine but it was my friend Kees who took this photo. Positioning the camera on top of a pole for a steady shot.

more information:
Rotterdam is the second largest municipality in the Netherlands after the capital, Amsterdam by population size, and the largest city in the province of Zuid-Holland (South Holland). The port of Rotterdam is the largest in Europe and was the world’s busiest port from 1962 to 2004, until it was overtaken by Shanghai. Rotterdam is situated on the banks of the river Nieuwe Maas (‘New Meuse’), one of the channels in the delta formed by the Rhine and Meuse rivers. The name Rotterdam derives from a dam in the Rotte river.

LifeLike, yes she is

Or so I feel.
I was never really a big fan of dolls, whether plastic or ceramic. Probably because I have this wild imagination since I was a kid and when playing with my siblings, we would use dolls to frighten each other, we sometimes would say: look, she’s looking at you everywhere you go, see, the eyes are alive..the doll is alive!! and well, we used those frightening voices too to terrify the wits out of each other! At times when the teasing became too much, we ended up in real cat fights! *lol*
But anyway back to dolls…when I saw this doll on top of my friend’s drawer, ‘she’ changed my view of dolls. I don’t know why but there was something on her face that I find gentle, not scary at all. She doesn’t even fall under the ‘cute’ category , in my opinion..but there’s something about her.
What I find cute is the way she sits on top of the drawer.
Do you like dolls too? Do you also collect them?
I was a kid again..even for just a while
Dec 27th
December was the busiest month for me…it still is. I am just glad that December 25th & 26th { first Christmas day and second Christmas day respectively} are both over, whew! Because those two days were just killers. Though I really really enjoy preparing special dishes especially on Christmas (normally only the 25th) but was also invited this year to cook on the 26th…which was fine by me, glad to do it… it’s just that my body after the 2 nights almost gave up because I was beat and even asked myself why am I doing this to myself?
Well, answer is I don’t like ordering cooked meals for Christmas dinner! I like surprising my love ones with something new and never tasted before menu. But I’ll get to that on another post.
All I really wanted to say was that I enjoyed being a kid again. For a moment it was like I was back during those years when I could hardly wait for Santa’s surprise under the tree. Yes until now I enjoy opening gifts (who doesn’t?) and this year I got what I wished for from my husband (speakers for my room) and from my dear friend Stel (who is one of my inspirations when it comes to cooking) I got this fantastic cookbook “Your Place or Mine?”by Jean-Christophe Novelli, one of London’s celebrated Michelin starred chef .
Dear Stel, I was opening your gift on these pictures and I love it!! Thank you so much!!
how about you, did you enjoyed opening your gifts too?
Christmas Greetings
