It's been a while since I've uploaded edible art, but I hope to satisfy you this week.
I've been sketching a little fondant cake, but I'll tell more about it later in this journal, since I want to save the positive message for the end.
Positive? That means there is a negative one too?
Yes, indeed.
Unfortunately I'm still waiting on my former boss to pay me.
I told you about him in the horrible, holiday work journal.
If you remember properly, I wrote that journal months ago, since I left the Czech Republic at the 18th of August.
He hasn't paid ever since.
And what might be even worse, he also collected money for my project at the church service and I didn't receive that either.
The money I worked for is about €612,50 and he collected 70 euro extra.
I've seen none of it so far.
I've called, e-mailed begged him to pay me, but he didn't reply.
And even when he díd reply, he made promises he didn't realize.
That's why I've set an ultimatum and thus far he hasn't paid yet.
The deadline ends tomorrow and my first appointment with my lawyer is tomorrow as well.
So please wish me luck, I need the money for my Uganda project.
I'll continue with more pleasant news.
My friends and I will go to a concert of Wibi Soerjadi this Saturday!
I'm so excited about it!
He's the best pianist of the Netherlands and usually his tickets costs between the 55 and 85 euros.
But Saturday his tickets only cost 10 euro for the youth, so I'm going with some of my friends.
That's why I'll bake the little piano cake as well.
Because we're on a mission...
We would love to get to talk with him and what's better than giving him a cake?
Okay, to be realistic, we probably hand it over to one of the concert employees and don't get to talk with him at all.
But hey, he seems like a nice guy, maybe he'll come thank me.
For now you have to be patient and be satisfied with my Dear Teen Letter;
Dear Teen MeDear Teen Me,
You are gone, after 18 years, I am finally an adult.
I apologize that I have neglected you so many times.
In all these years you really wanted to grow up, to be mature and able of keeping up with the elder people.
You have tried, but after every disappointment you turned out to be a kid, who needed the advice of someone more mature.
It felt like failure and I was disgusted with you for that behavior.
About the time you got sick, something changed.
You dreamed, kept your eyes on the future with an almost childish faith.
While I got stuck.
Thinking reality kicked in and you would never be able to walk again.
But I was wrong.
I never forgot the moment when we both understood everything would be alright.
You were not surprised, you had known it all this time.
But I was so confused, life was not over, a whole new life could start!
It took some time, to get used to that.
To become the person that you were.
I did not want to face that you were right.
I wanted to protect you from
But as said I'll try to upload more cakes soon.
Plus a Masterpiece of Cake in the Christmas holidays!
Best Wishes Amber
