00:19Hello everyone and thanks for watching this new vlog. My name is Jetske and I am from the Netherlands,
00:25currently living in the Netherlands, but my boyfriend is from Uganda. Today is going to be an
00:32excited day. I'm going to bring you along. I'm going to do a run. It's kind of a special run.
00:40It is a run for people who laid in the past on the intensive care in the hospital. Since I'm
00:47born with a heart disease, I laid in only intensive care when I was a baby and a toddler.
00:54So until today, I still can join the run for free. So that's really nice. It's 5 kilometers. It's not
01:02really far. But yeah, for me, it always feels special because you run it all together with
01:09people who laid on the intensive care. So it's kind of a nice event. And I will run it together
01:16with a friend of mine. She has also a heart disease. So yeah, it's going to be a special day.
01:24But I started today with translating Luganda. And I thought I'm going to bring you along with one
01:32sentence, how I translate it. Because I have my laptop here in front of me and my dictionary. And
01:40those two together helps me a lot. Because there is one website, it is onlinetranslationpro.com.
01:49And you can translate English to Luganda and Luganda to English. So what I'm doing most of the time,
01:56I don't know a Luganda word, I type it as first on the translation program. But the problem with that
02:06program is that they don't translate it really well. So what I do mostly, most of the time,
02:12when I see a word, I check it again, like in English in my dictionary. So yeah, I'm going to
02:20give you the
02:21example, how I do. So for now, I have the sentence naaie, tofajo, casita, nze, sise. I know naaie is
02:31but,
02:32tofajo, I'm not sure. So what am I going to do is then put it in the translation. Don't worry.
02:42Ato is don't. Vajo is that worry. So what I'm going to do then is search for worry. Worry, worry,
02:52worry, worry.
02:53Worry. Tofajo, don't worry. It's here in the dictionary. Tofajo. Okay, nice.
03:01Tofajo. I'm going to write it down. Here I have the, I wrote down the whole part. And here I'm
03:08going
03:09to translate it, well, all the words that I didn't know. Tofajo. So, but don't worry. Casita. Casita.
03:20As long as nze. Okay, in this case, I put down sise sese in the translation program. And then
03:30the translation is again sise sese. So the translation program doesn't know this word alone.
03:36So what I'm going to do next is put in the whole sentence in the translation program.
03:43Because most of the time it starts recognizing the word then and the whole sentence. But don't worry.
03:50As long as I don't laugh. Sometimes they make sentences. Maybe I found sise sese.
04:02Sometimes I'm so long busy with one sentence, but I just want to make sure that I'm understanding
04:10all the words and not doing something. I mean, it's really easy to just write it down now and then
04:17say
04:18to my teacher, this is what I've got. But I want to understand it because otherwise I never learn it.
04:23That's the most hardest part of Luganda. That sometimes you have to remove the first
04:28two letters or even more to get the other words. Sese sese. Make laugh. Sese sese is make laugh.
04:38So, but don't worry. As long as I don't laugh. It's a really crazy sentence.
04:43Bato bange. Bato bange is my people. Please.
04:48Nsaba. Oh, it's also please. O basonyewe. Please forgive my people.
04:54Already the last sentence. Kintu ya damu nti.
05:02Wait. That is I forgive, I think.
05:06I have forgive them. I'm so excited. You know, at first when I was translating the first book,
05:16that was just one sentence and I was, it was taken an hour. And with this book, I don't know,
05:21maybe somehow the sentences are more easier or I've become better in Uganda.
05:27Yesunyaka. Is that smiled? Happy. Nambi was very happy. That's of course. Because
05:33Nsanyu say okukulaba. That is I'm happy to see you. Okay. The page of today is already translated.
05:41Oh my god. I'm so excited that I became better and better in Luganda. And I'm starting to understand
05:48words and sentences and how the grammar works. And yeah. I'm going to stop talking. I'm going to
05:56have a breakfast because I'm already really hungry. And it's going to be a nice one because I'm going
06:03to eat a smoothie with beetroot. And beetroot is really good for your heart, they say. So I thought,
06:12let's do that. Does anyone like smoothies as well? You can really wake me up for smoothie bowls. Okay,
06:34I just had my breakfast and I have like 45 minutes left before I have to go for the run.
06:42And I thought,
06:43yeah, you don't see it really clearly, but this floor, it is not nice. When I came here, I had
06:49like
06:49a wooden floor and the previous people who lived here didn't take a really good care of it. So it's
06:57a mess.
06:59But you have like stuff in the Netherlands that, yeah, help protect the floor. But before you apply that,
07:08you have to clean it. And it's going to take some hours when you apply the the protector before you
07:16can walk on it. So I thought when I do now the kitchen and I'm going for the run, when
07:23I'm back,
07:23then it's enough hours in between the period that I add the protector on the floor and that it dried
07:31and go into the floor. So I hope you will see a difference. I will show a before and then
07:38after
07:38the run, you will see an after. No, you will see the before and after, after the run. So let's
07:46clean.
07:46Now, let's clean.
08:22Sometimes I really feel like an idiot because the previous people left some maintenance oil,
08:32some wood cleaner and some natural soap.
08:39So yeah, I thought actually I had to do it the other way around, like cleaning the floor,
08:44putting oil on it and then the protector, of course, but now in the kitchen I didn't put the oil,
08:50but I want to do this whole living room before there comes a couch and other furniture.
08:56So my plan is the following.
08:58No, I don't have time now to do it now, but tonight I'm going to clean part of the floor
09:06because I can't do the whole living room.
09:09Then tomorrow morning I do the oil and I was reading you have to wait 24 hours.
09:17So on Tuesday morning I do the protector.
09:20No, I have to wait then as well.
09:22And then on Tuesday evening I'm going to clean the other part of the floor, etc.
09:27Yes, it's going to be a job that takes some days.
09:31And I don't know why I didn't do this before I came in this house.
09:36But hey, we all make our mistakes.
09:39And I saw this thing.
09:41Gee, this is way more easy.
09:43I can just wipe it.
09:47And I have this towel as well.
09:50Mijn goede.
09:52Okay guys, I talked already way too much.
09:56It's time for the run.
10:13Okay, the pipe is already there and you see here five kilometers.
10:19I will see that in some hours.
10:21We're just going to have a warming up and I have to see people from the organization.
10:27Okay, let's go.
10:30I love the vibe.
10:56Oh my goodness, guys, I did it.
10:59I did the five kilometer and I did it on my own level.
11:05Okay, I'm going to talk to you later on, but first I'm going to eat.
11:08This is like a salad from the supermarket with lots of veggies, some nuts.
11:17I think it was couscous.
11:19Is that the right word?
11:21I don't even know what's in there, but it is good and I need it because it's now three
11:25o'clock and I didn't have lunch yet.
11:27So lunchtime.
11:30Oh my goodness, guys, I'm just changed.
11:33I took a shower and I'm kind of, I have really red cheeks, but that's because I'm tired and I'm
11:41a little bit hungry again.
11:44But today it was so awesome and I was back on my old level again because I used to run
11:54around 34 minutes.
11:59No, five kilometers in 34 minutes.
12:03But because of my travels to Uganda and barely training, I became lower on a level lower.
12:12Jesus Christ, I am tired now.
12:15I can tell and hungry because otherwise my English doesn't feel this way.
12:19So I became on a lower level and this was somehow frustrating.
12:27And the last two weeks I was running again five kilometer for the first time since ever.
12:33It felt good, but I wasn't there on my old level.
12:37But today I run again 34 minutes.
12:43Yay.
12:44Oh, I'm so thankful.
12:46And I like those runs so much because the most, the thing I like the most is that everyone gets
12:57a medal.
12:58I see now the background, sorry, I'm going to oil the floor later on, but everyone is getting a medal.
13:06And that's what I like about all the runs because it doesn't matter if it, if you take one hour
13:12or 34 minutes or 20 minutes,
13:14it doesn't matter.
13:15Everyone gets that medal.
13:17And that's so, for me, it is so supportive because when I had gymnastics at school, it was always about
13:26competition,
13:27being the fastest, being the strongest, being the, and I was always the latest from the class.
13:33Nobody wants to be with me in a team because they already know, oh, we're going to lose if Jeske
13:40is always in our team.
13:41And I didn't like that at all.
13:46But now, yeah, it is just fun.
13:49You know, it is, I do it for fun.
13:50I, of course, I also do it for the medal, but because everyone get a medal, it is just fun
13:56to do.
13:57And I would really recommend you to do it as well.
14:00And my, one of my goals still is to join a run in Uganda.
14:05I know you have like two types of marathons.
14:08You have the source of the now run.
14:12But I think it was also possible to run around 10 or 20 kilometer.
14:17And I think I go for 10 by then because it's in the mountains and it's a different climate.
14:23And that's way too much.
14:25But one of my goals is to run the source of the now run in Uganda.
14:31That's would be really awesome.
14:33But for this year, there are some other runs on the planning in the Netherlands.
14:37I'm excited.
14:38I have my running high back.
14:44I think this was really the start of me training for the, yeah, we have the Damm till Damm loop,
14:51the Damm till Damm.
14:52So you go from Amsterdam to Zaandam.
14:55And it's 16 kilometer or 10 miles.
14:58It's long, but I'm going to train for it.
15:02And I also invited Paul as well.
15:08So let's see if he's here and if he's trained enough to do it.
15:14But I thought, you know what?
15:16I just take this opportunity to run together.
15:19That will be so awesome.
15:22Okay.
15:23I'm going to cook some food before I end up talking too much.
15:26Then I'm going to oil the kitchen floor because it has to dry for a night.
15:32And then I call it a day.
15:33I'm going to do some work from my bed.
15:36Just laying in my bed and do some work.
15:38That's lazy, but nice.
15:42I like to do that.
15:44Who else works from their bed sometimes?
15:48Let's cook.
16:24Let's cook some
16:25Ahem.
16:25You can see here.
16:26a little bit the difference between this floor which didn't have oil yet. I was
16:32hoping actually that those black spots will disappear but I think I had to...
16:38I don't know the English word but like we call it in Dutch schroeden. So yeah but it
16:44looks really good. I hope actually it stays this shiny. I think not because
16:50it's now wet and I see already some dry spots so I think it will be the same as
16:58this but I hope you will see a difference tomorrow as well because otherwise I did
17:04it all for nothing. So yeah it's good to figure that out if I did it all for
17:09nothing or not. You will see that next week because now I'm going to end the
17:14video. I'm going to lay in bed, do some work and sleep like a princess. I'm excited
17:19for next week again. I'm really in the mood for working again. Just relaxing now
17:25and have a nice Sunday. And for you I wish you a really nice weekend if you watch
17:32this on the Friday. And thanks for watching this video. Please put a thumbs up
17:37it helps me really much and please don't forget to subscribe because it helps as
17:42well. So Uwe Baleenio and Uwe Raba. Bye bye!
