Birthdays and Jeans 21

I've been celebrating birthdays every weekend since I'm back from Mexico. Including my own birthday. Next saturday it will be for the 4th or 5th time (I'm always in for a suprise party ;)). Grandma might have thought I have gotten used to drinking away tequila after noticing the cover of one of her gifts.

Yup, it is holding a can of beer. I already gave it a name, drunk uncle Teddy. I might start writing my drunk diary stories in this little notebook.

Remember the time I won two tickets to a musical? Last thursday I went to theatre 'De Harmonie'. De prize included a 'Theaterplus-arrangement'. A coffee/tea and some coockies before the show.

A coffee/tea and a sweet treat during the break.

And a drink and some snacks after the show.

We went to the musical Jeans 21. 21, because it is the 21st season of this show. It's a bit like Glee. Guys and girls singing, acting and doing dress ups. Music from rockabilly to disco. From Dutch pop music to a Dutch children's song. I've read in an online review the songs were for an older audience cause the writer didn't know lot of the songs. I knew a lot of songs. I grew up with Sting and Motown ...... Gosh I'm old.:(

After the break the show became a bit cheesy with songs like 'Ademnood' (dyspnea) from Linda, Roos & Jessica. Good looking soap stars from my childhood. Nowadays they are a recent divorcee (husband fell in love with the neighbour), dead and a drunk-driver-turned-mom.

And one of the last songs was 'De kabouterdans' (the gnome dance) from a very popular Belgian children's show. We were asked to dance and sing with de performers several times. I was the most enthusiastic during this song cause I was the only person at the back of the room twirling ... -___- Singing Roxanne from Sting with one voice like cats in heat is okay but twirling is a big no no?

I want to thank all the tax payers from The Netherlands for supporting my left-wing hobby.XD

Question: Why do they sell disgusting food wrapped in super cute/sophisticated paper at Asian markets? Answer: So that wannabe Asians like me would buy them for lots and lots of money.

I didn't check which flavour it was before I bought it. I just bought it because of the colour ... But you can't deny it's damn cute! Look at the bottle of milk and grape holding hands.:D

Every silver wrap had another drawing and story. Japanese people have too much time or are like very overachieving modern slaves.

It's soft, almost like a chewing gum. It also had some kind of jelly beans in it (which was kind of grose). Overall I wouldn't try this flavour again. I can't recall the price anymore but I guess it was cheap. I'm Dutch, I don't like expensive. But we do like cute little piggies.:)

Puccho also has an insanely cute website, www.puccho.jp. Typically Japanese, colourful and super kawaii cartoons. And they have free downloads:
