Spanish

I decided to take up Spanish for the new semester... quite thrilled to see, if it works out for me.
Reading is easy, but spelling and writing will be difficult. Well, well, practise makes perfect.

Playing around.

So I was playing around with my Photoshop and here's the result... it makes me think of sweets.
(I'm such a sweet-tooth ;F  )

Quick update.

Yesterday I made the recipe below in advance and served it to my friend today.

She LOVED it. I'm so glad it turned out to have the right consistency.

Recommending making this to anyone interested.

Musicals.

In these modern days not many people still go to Musicals. To me they have always been fascinating.
The acting, the participants and the stage, when everything comes together, it seems to create a magic world.
I have seen quite alot musicals, but I do plan on seeing even more.

Moving.

Penelope. That is the name of a very lovely movie, I watched some time ago.
People say that movies are not real, but nevertheless they convey a message.
In this wonderful film, the message was pretty clear: love yourself like you are, accept who you are and never let anyone take that feeling from you.
It moved me, because like every person, I had a time when I used to let others drag me down. I learned my lesson and I got strong enough to accept myself with each and every flaw I have.

Ne place.

I was born in Romania, but lived nearly all my life in Germany. So where do I feel home? To give an honest answer: none of them is considered a real home to me. I love german and romanian music, food, the language and culture, but still I feel like a stranger to both countries. They say, home is where the heart is. And that's exacty how I feel. "Ne place" means "we like it". And that is exactly what I feel like. I am home where I like it.

Dogs.

I have always been afraid of dogs, not extremely, but I am cautious around them. Being sensitive to loud sounds, I didn't like them barking, but I have to admit, that some of them are adorable.
Today I was sitting in the bus and a girl about my age sat beside me with her little dog on her lap. His head was leaning on her left arm and suddenly he licked my elbow. I was startled and laughed at her, as she excused his behaviour. He was even cuter, when he sneezed. Dogs can be very interesting, even to me.

Books and more..

It's wonderful to have a book in your hand nowadays, when everything is so high-tech. The feel of every page on my fingers, reading it wherever I want. I read alot and momentarily very very many series at the same time.
But not only books, magazins, too. They refresh my memory about current happenings.
Reading can be so much fun, if you know, what to read.

Look, what I found...

About two days ago I started watching this amazingly hilarious show called: The Big C.
If you are a fan of sarcasm and even a good bit of cynicism, then you will love it.

Addicting online shops.

I've been browsing through the internet for nice but not too expensive shoes and found these two pairs, that match my search pretty well:

This one is playfully elegant, like a Lita shoe.

This shoe has fascinated me with its sex-appeal.

I'm not sure if I will buy either one of them, but they do look so good, I just want to wear them right now.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for... ice cream.

Yes, I know, it is not yet the season for ice cream, but for me ice cream is essential throughout the year.
I adore chocolate-chip ice cream with vanilla flavour. Even in the coldest winter I sometimes eat delicious ice cream. You should try that too  ; ]

STOP Kony.

Karma.

People say, Karma is a b*tch. But thinking back at whatever you or anyone has done, did "she" actually condemn you out of the wrong reason? Everything you do for others will eventually get back at you, be it the good deeds or the bad things you did.
And Karma works both ways, because of somebody did something kind or hurtful to you, they will get it back.
Because, what goes around comes around.

Toys.

People are not toys to me, they are treasures... valuable friends and familymembers. I don't toss them around or use them like I want. That's not what I would want to be treated like, either.
It is said, that every life has a price, but I think that every person I know is priceless. They add life and joy to my life, as well as grief and sadness. But that is how relationships go. There are ups and downs, you just have to work your way through them.

Where I want to live...

... is mostly any English-speaking country (preferrably the UK or US ;]). Since I started learning English, I have loved this language so much, that I used to animate people around me to use it. Here in Germany you would think that many people use it, but when it comes down to that, you realize how ignorant people are.
Most of my experiences showed, that the germans I talked to either don't know any foreign language or a little English, which is just enough to express something they need.
Luckily there are some, that do enjoy a sophisticated English conversation. (YAY for those few)
