Meet Glory!
Meet Glory a.k.a. Berend Botje! He is the official tour guide of this entire trip. Glory is a TY Beanie Baby which was given to me by Travis when I first step foot in the Land of the Free. Glory was baptized as Berend Botje the very moment I landed in Brussels. The new alias was taken from the popular Dutch Nursery Rhyme (Kinderliedje) which happen to be the very first Dutch phrase I learned.
As I go and see places, it is just going to be me and Berend Botje. It is impossible for me to take pictures of myself with the view. So BB will have to be your tour guide and he’s going to take you to places that he thinks interesting whether it’s popular or not.


Hello Glory Berend Botje! It is good to see that you made it to Brussels. Take good care of Jacy for me.

Hello there Glory! Well, yeah you have to take care of Jacy since this is going to be your first trip alone together without her hubby. I wonder, do you know any form of self-defense tricks?

oh yeah! i think i just remembered it now. that’s so funny. i didn’t even thought about it. i think it was a phone company. i can’t remember what it was though.
he turned out to be my model coz i can’t take a pic of myself with the view. so, he will just pose for me instead. that way, i can take better pictures. hehehe!
you may call him Berend Botje. I think he’s more popularly known as such. you made me laugh when you mentioned about Gloria. hehehe!
i miss you girl!
