After my examination phase I decided to do some shopping... I just wanted to buy a shirt for the party in the evening. But I ended up lost in ecstasy. So I'd like to present you the results of my shopping trip :)
Beautiful three-layered scarf in shades of light grey and blue
Another scarf in champagne/ beige
White shirt with a print of silver and black branches and trees
Reddish/ black scarf with floral print
Summerlike loafers - super comfy!
Comfortable shirt in red with gathers and close-fitting cuffs
After my examination phase I decided to blog more often again and really enjoy my life to the fullest extend. I was learning every day since ..uh.... the middle of December/ beginning of January and I usually tend to push myself too hard. Learning all day, almosts no rests and no social contact - a complete catastrophe. I'm very thankful for all my friends who supported me nevertheless. Thanks so much.
On Friday I had my last exam (except for communication sciences and linguistic communication in March) and in the evening we (a couple of fellow students and me) directly went to a club for PARTEY! When I was at home it was something like.. 5:00 am? Got up again 5 hours later, took a shower and then headed to a very dear friend's place :3
We bought incredients for cake (we'll bake tomorrow! See following entry) and played a horror game called "Amnesia: the dark descent"... and holy! It scared the shit out of me! xDD We decided to make a "Let's play" video where you can see us playing Amnesia. Currently she's editing the scenes while I write this entry. We stopped ingame where you find yourself in the flooded refinery with all those invisible monsters around... We'll continue tomorrow and fight our way through the maze of death, zombies and strange events xDD
A few days ago I stumbled on Kim Barbie's fashionblog and discovered this awesome scarf in some of her entries. It's fucking gorgeous! I adore the colour and the bi-patterned desgin *___* Definitely a hot piece. The length is cool as well and I guess you have tons of possibilities to combine this accessory perfectly. Just a few hours ago Kim Barbie announced it to become a giveaway. There was no time for hesitation - I just had to participate. Just for the sake of this simply wonderful scarf. Usually I always have bad luck, when it comes to competitions but I really hope that fortune will be on my side... only once ❤
Vor ein paar Tagen bin ich über Kim Barbie's Fashionblog gestolpert und habe diesen wirklich wunderschönen Schal in einigen ihrer Einträge gefunden. Omg, der ist soo klasse! Ich liebe die Farbe dermaßen und die unterschiedlichen Muster im Design *___* Definitiv ein echt heißes Stück! Die Länge gefällt mir auch total gut und ich wette, dass man mit diesem tollen Teil einfach Tausende von Kombinationsmöglichkeiten haben muss. Und nun, vor einigen Stunden, schrieb Kim Barbie, dass es sich hierbei um ein Giveaway handelt. Ich dachte, mir fallen die Augen aus xD Keine Zeit zum zögern - ich musste einfach mitmachen. Einfach für diesen allerliebsten Schal. Normalerweise habe ich bei Gewinnspielen immer Pech, aber ich hoffe, dass das Schicksal dieses Mal auf meiner Seite ist ... nur dieses eine Mal ❤
New Year started great despite the stressful days beforehand. I was able to celebrate with lots of wonderful people (sadly not all of my friends) but it was an outstanding eve nevertheless. Being together was so much fun. We ate, we drank, played games i.e. SingStar, etc. and couldn't stop laughing. I enjoyed the time pretty much. Best memories: drinking game "Frau Horst", parlour game "Tabu", Melike singing, New Year's fireworks <3
Took some photos (sadly not of the evenig itself), but I wanted you to see some of my impressions =)
Icicles above my window. Quite scary, right? xD
This colour is currently my favourite ! *___* (By the way: KIKO has an incredible colour range - try it! I think I'm going to introduce some of the nail polish I own of KIKO, their stuff's really, really great.)
A necklace Lisa gave to me <3 It's gorgeous!
Another necklace from Lisa:3 I wore both of them yesterday. I forgot to take a photograph of my outfit for New Year. But I want to make up for that :3 My sweater was made of love >D Thanks, Mom!
I bought that ring on a small fair of vintage designers. Luv it!
A dragonfly hair pin I bought a few years ago. It's so pretty, unfortunately I don't wear it often. Have to change that.
This time I won't write some endless stories, but I decided to show you my "new" room instead. It's astounding what a bit of colour and wallpapers can do >D I love the new atmosphere, it's so light and bright. My "old" room was vanilla-coloured and had two crimson red walls. I liked it, too - but now years later, I'm sick of seeing the same everyday :3
My room's not complete finished. Have to print new photos and arrange some things. But awwww~ it's so cozy! And comfy~! ❤
My room :3 Vintage-print-wallpapers <333
My new rug *__* It's soo fluffy! 'twas a christmas present from grandma :3 I love those two structures.
Awwww~ this lamp is made of love! My mum gave it to me on St Nicholas' Day.
The vase is from a discounter >DD 50cent *coughs* xD
I thought it would match the dried roses just perfectly, so I bought it :3
The roses are now ...uhm... something like ~2 years old? They were a present when I visited Berlin and I didn't want to throw them away, when they began to crumble. So I dried them, to keep them :3
Thingies in the front and in the background are from the Netherlands.
They look beautiful! They look a bit like trees made of feathers, fabrics and pearls.
This statue [~45 centimeters] is from a flea market in the Netherlands. I totally love this Klimt-style :3
I possess a smaller figure portaying "The Kiss" as well.
My mic! *___* I love it. And the mic-arm my dad gave to me for christmas xDD Finally less cable tangle :3
I have to record some songs soon! Thank you so much, Rieke, for giving it to me <33 I think the first song will be Aimo from Macross Frontier. Or something from Bana.
At first I decided to write this weblog entry in German, but suddenly... I don't know why - I just felt like English >D So strange. But maybe it has something to do with my discovery of a certain "Christmas song", although I wouldn't describe it as such. The first time I heard this song was in the movie version of "P.S. I love you" and completely fell in love with it from the very first minute. But then... I lost track somehow. It was somewhere in the depths of my mind, but it was not something I was really looking for. Then yesterdy while driving - or should I say slidding? - to a class reunion I heard it again in the regional radio programm. Well~ that was the impetus. Now I'm sitting in my room and listen to that song over and over again <3
Ah! The song's called "Fairytale in New York" by The Pogues.
Unfortunately that song reminds me of itchy feet .__. Especially the Irish elements in the middle part. I found myself excessively browsing YouTube for Irish music and stuck to The Dubliners... I adore that kind of music, but listening to it is so hard. Because I know I'm in Germany right now. No pub-feeling, no people in t-shirts walking through snow, no St. Stephen's Green park, no Dundrum shopping mall, no "bus stops", no shore in Gorey, nothing *sigh* In fact my one-month stay in Rathfarnham/Dublin was everythin else than nice. My host family was horrible ("mum" and "dad" were unemployed, had three children and six other guests from different countries. Me and my room mate shared a room of approximately 7m² - and all 13 people one bath room. Aweful :/ When you have to be punctual for work...geez. And some more things I'm going to tell later or in the following entries.), work wasn't that great either, the weather was very "Irish" >D But somehow... when I was back in Germany I didn't feel complete anymore.
I don't even know what it was that made me truly, truly love that country. Maybe the people, maybe the language, maybe the landscape, maybe just sitting in the park reading a paper and listening to German tourist that go by and think of you as a native. Haha, i'm on the verge of tears. Again. I have to go back. I feel it. I have to study hard, save money (I don't have) so that I can spend at least a semester abroad. That's my greatest wish.
Sadly my computer crashed and I lost all photos of the time back then. Precious memories of mine. Luckily I met a former class mate yesterday and she told me she could send me some of them. I hope she will keep her promise.
But now - enough with that depressing stuff.
As I mentioned earlier I attended a class reunion. I was completely overwhelmed! I was looking forward to that meeting but I didn't expect that so many of my old class mates and even teachers would come! Naturally I wasn't all buddy-buddy with everyone, but I was a nice experience to see each of them again. We talked about our plans for future, the past and lots of things we considered as insider jokes back then. I talked to someone about what happened between us and the reason we had no contact and she fully understood. I hope she will contact me, so I can see whether she's serious. I didn't mention our argument in front of the others - they didn't seem to care. So I didn't either. But it was a great evening nevertheless and I stayed until the end - where we ended up at McDonald's eating burgers and ice cream xDD
I even enjoyed the time speaking with my former teachers. Unfortunately my history teacher left early (work in the next mornning *cough*), so we had no chance to have a conversation. But he promised to attend the next reunion as well! =) I like him pretty much, he was one of the coolest teachers ever. And the first one to mediate history succesfully >D
The most amazed I was about the conversation I had with my German and English teacher. Great people, who I respect deeply. They said they are content with me, because I chose the way of studying. They said they would have been disappointed if I had begun to work immediately. And that it's no wonder I chose the way of writing and expressing myself, cause that's one of my talents, they stated. I felt happy and relieved after they told me that. I always feel insecure and hardly belive in my own skills. It's nice to hear I don't strive for something unreachable for me. I wrote a report about StrawbellyCake, singer, voice actress and dear friend of mine. She said she liked it pretty much. Makes me happy :3 If there's anyone interested in this article, I can post it here in German or translate it. So, tell me! :3
I will push myself more. I need to do more for my future life.
Eww~ Long entry is long! Now some photos to catch the remaining Christmas spirit <3
(All photos are taken with my cell)
Awesome 10-centimeter-snow-man on my university's balcony *laugh*
Christmas and belated birthday present for a dear friend <33
My snowy way back home from university :3
The forest I pass every day :3
and again :3 It's beautiful, right? I love that calm an serene landscape!
Well then~ see you soon, hons ♥

Well~ I'm at university and waiting for the next courses. So I'm trying to spend my time on updating my blog a little bit. I'd like inform about my visit of the musical >>Wicked<< and (oh my) I'm completely in love with it. I watched it for the third time and it mesmerized me all over again. I was there with a close friend of mine and we sat in the first rank. It was so stunning! You could see every smile, every facial expression of the actors. It's such a pity you aren't allowed to take a camera with you, for it was simply breath-taking. The costume details, the moves, the effects, the sound - it was just perfect. I almost wish to go there for a fourth time (and then most probably a fifth time as well). This time I bought a high gloss booklet from the show with the German cast. How I love them! Willemijn Verkaik and Joana Wuerz are great! *__* They are my favourite Elphaba and G(a)linda. I'm totally Wicked-addicted lately. Especially since looking for some clips on Youtube, where I found an excerpt of "popular" in which Glinda explains how to fling your hair in the most girlish way. She and Elphaba fooled around, got lost in the action and suddenly Glinda states: "No headbanging!" I laughed so hard >D God gracious! >3
(I just took random images from Google - don't have the time to look for our cast)
Have to go for now .___. I'll write more later. Bye Byez~ <3
