My name is Rosana Kooymans. My nickname however is Rosie or Rosiewosie. I use the nickname Rosiewosie on many social networking/web 2.0 websites. On my own websites I usually just use the name Rosana and/or Rosie.

I’m 24 years old. I currently reside in The Netherlands. I live with my family in a nice apartment in Southern Netherlands. My love ChEeTaH and I fell in love in 2006, after attending E3 in Los Angeles, California. I visited many expos and events in 2006, you can view them on my Events page.

I quit my studies ‘Communication & Multimedia Design’ in 2007 because of administrative errors and health issues. I was also supposed to get surgery in April 2007, but we found out I was pregnant in February 2007. And I had been pregnant for a while when we found out. My due date was initially November 4th. Later that was changed to October 18th. I gave birth on October 23rd. Even though we’re very happy with out little baby boy, it wasn’t planned and we had to struggle a little to even find proper housing. Just a month before my due date we moved into our new apartment.

Ever since Seth was born, I have been mainly busy with him. I don’t mind, but a baby really is time consuming. That means I have less time for other activities. Since January 2008 I have been slowly getting back to work on all the websites I run. My planning is to renew all the websites I already had. But I’m also working on a ton other new projects. You will be able to read all about these new projects on my blog (on the front page).

Besides creating and maintaining websites, I also run a few websites for the fun of it. I have 7 gaming websites. 3 Sims fansites (SimsNetwork, SimsNetwerk NL, Simsplace NL) and 4 Spore fansites (SporeNetwork, SporeNetwerk NL, Sporepedia UK, Sporepedia NL). The reason there are so many of them is basically because I run those websites in several languages. On my fansites, I offer news, articles (reviews), media (screens, videos, artworks), downloads (custom content for the games), forums and tons of other features. We have over 80k members.

In the future, my family and I will move to California, preferably the Bay Area. We want to work and live there. It’s been both our dream for a very long time. We also know it won’t be easy. It will take a lot of effort and time. But it will be well worth it. The reason we’re not preparing ourselves just yet is because ChEeTaH is still busy with his study at Eindhoven University of Technology. It will take a few more years for him to finish his MA there. After that, we’ll have to save some money for the big move. But remember my words, we will move to California.
