Merry xmas and goodbye.. ;)

With bags packed and the best xmas ever behind me (now know what it is like to have an actual family) I'd like to wish you all a very merry xmas although it's almost over (but never too late) :)

I am off to Ireland starting tomorrow. It's been 3 whole years since I've last seen the place i call home and i cannot express in words how much i miss it. Probably I am luckiest person on earth right now. I will be back on January 12th - with a massive post about Ireland (or lots of different posts about Ireland)

PS: it really annoys me to see how people are moaning about not getting an i phone or a car or write posts like " i hate christmas " ... i cannot believe words like this are written by people who have a lovely family, girlfriend or boyfriend, great friends, a good job etc etc... some people have NO IDEA about what is important and that the best things in life are free but not to be taken for granted. On christmas my friend and me have been driving into the city bringing clothes,chocolate and other things to people in need. Where will this world go if everyone stops caring? People seriously need to wake up and stop being so selfish and arrogant and over all: ignorant. I love this world but it hurts me to see how s t u p i d people can actually be...take your time and think about it next time you see a homeless.

Back from the Hols!

Back on the Albion, very relaxed from the holidays but also stressed from the first two days at work where a whole lot of work was already waiting for me to get back...

So i had my friend Briseida over who is living Mexico and will be moving back to Canada quite soon. We met 4 years ago and got in touch when she wanted to send her cousin Maria a text but accidently send it to me - an accident that lead to a great friendship. It was the first time we ever met and also her first time in Europe. I wanted to make the best out of her trip and luckily i seem to have succeeded. We spend the first two days in the capital, Berlin and had loads of fun there. First thing we actually did was helping out a homeless - twice. Also we visited all the famous sights like Brandenburg Gate and the goverment buildings..and of course we couldn't deny a visit of Madam Tussaud's. After discovering Berlin we went back to my beautiful hometown Erfurt, which she totally fell in love with. She said that i actually live in a fairytale ( I think she is right.. ;) ) .. We also gave my favourite city Weimar a visit and Thuringias most famous castle "Wartburg"...despite the touristic stuff, we partied alot and had fun with hot wine on the local christmas markets... told random people how beautiful they are...sat down with Mafia people for drinks...and...even got a tattoo. Well - at least SHE got one. A beautiful Canada maple leave. She spend many years of her life in Canada, it is where she had her most important time ever - so it means a lot to her. Enough with the talking, enjoy the pictures and the video (sorry, it was my first time I tried Magix..i promise I'll do better soon - also, i will most likely buy a video camera soon)

Holidays...

The reason why I am not posting much around this time is that i am on holidays, my friend Briseida from Mexico came to visit me,it's her first time in Europe ever and i am hosting her on her trip :) We've already been to Berlin and now we're in Thuringia for the rest of the week...I'll be back next week for sure with lots of pictures and videos from the holidays!

Nails nails nails...

No one who really knows me would ever define me as a "girly girl"... what they dont know (and what i don't like to admit) is that i do indeed have a very cheesy site: i love cheesy love romance movies and books, i love "kiss me" by Sixpence None The Richer, fashion and yes...nails. During the past few weeks i discovered my passion for nail design, i started using nail polish but then discovered a less annoying, better looking innovation of German brand "Essence" - Nail Fashion Stickers ! They are easy to put on, last several days and are easy to take off too. All cost about 2 Euro only. I can highly recommend them!!

Where is the love

Looking at the world as it is now, as it always was, i wonder if humans will ever learn. There is NO need for war, NO need for depression NO need for crime. If all of us would be open minded AND open hearted this world could be nothing else but paradise. Spread love. Not hate. We are one, we are a whole big family and none of us must be alone. Such an easy message, yet so hard to understand for so many of us.
100 people were asked about their greatest wish. 78 answered with "Universal peace".
You may think this sounds quite good. I do not agree. My question is: Why only 78....
The reason i come up with this is Couchsurfing.org . I booked my flight back to the place i like to call home, Cork - Ireland for December/January. I also already booked my b&b for the first week in Cork City, but as we would like to spend another one nearby at the seaside i decided to look for a host at couchsurfing. CS is a place like no other. Whoever wants to travel, alone or not alone (because you WILL meet great people wherever you go) should take this into consideration. It is one of the most heart warming things i have ever seen. Please take your time and take a look at this truly beautiful, humanly network. We need people like this.
