Chocolate to the max :)

Today was the big day .... A., some friends and I attended a chocolate / praline course which was so much fun. We got to do our own pralines and played a lot with chocolate. The tricky thing is that if you make pralines you somehow have chocolate everywhere on your hands ... A. managed also to get a lot of on her arms as well :) We had a blast. Later on we will go to a birthday party and have some fun there :)

Here you get some pictures of the outcome from the workshop:

First hot weekend ....

This past weekend was so great not only because of all the activities I had planned but also because of the beautiful weather we had. I was off on Saturday ... A. came over from Hamburg ... and we started early to the yearly spring party. We spent the whole day there visiting the gardens where people were selling vine made of fruit and other delicious food. In the evening we went to a nice Italian restaurant since the plan was to go to a live karaoke party afterwards, which we did.

This day was so much fun!

4 days in Hamburg

Last Sunday my mom and I went to Hamburg. We had concert tickets for Ronan Keatings concert, which I had given to my mom as a X-mas present, which we would go to on Tuesday, since she is such a huge Ronan Keating fan and I wanted to visit my Lieblingsfreundin Anja. We had cheap tickets for the bus, so we had to take a bus that leaves at 7:00 am. I had rehearsals the evening before and the paintball shooting plus the time changed from winter into summertime this night so even there we lost one hour.

So I slept max. 2 hours at home. When we came to the Underground the train was gone, we had to wait 15 minutes for the next one ... which also meant we already had a delay of 15 minutes, so all the other trains and busses I had planned wouldn't work anymore. I make it short ... we made the bus lol we arrived there in the last moment. I slept another 3 hours on the bus ride.

At 10:00 am we arrived in Hamburg and met Anja at the station. We went to her flat and the weather was still nice but cold. In the afternoon we went to the town again to take a walk at the harbour and to go to the Hamburger Dom, which is some kind of huge amusement park. When we arrived at the harbour it started to rain a bit ... when we arrived at the Dom it was raining so bad ... we got wet to the bones after just some minutes so we left and went back home. We spent the rest of the day with getting warm and dry again.

Anja had to work on monday so I showed my mom the town. We went shopping in the city center. The weather was better that day, we even had some sun. We went to the panopticon which was really fun and after that we tried a second time to go around the harbour, this time we had sun. In the early evening we went home to meet Anja who had just arrived from work. The plans for this evening was going to the cinema. We saw "Alice in Wonderland". I liked the movie. It was the first time I saw a whole movie in 3-D. It was cool.

On Tuesday my mom and I went to the zoo and the aquarium. It was fun. We spent the whole day there. In the evening we went to the concert. We had tickets for the 5th row - the concert was seated. I didn't like the location that much. I don't like being seated during a concert in general. Already at the first song the first row jumped out of the seats and we other followed lol so we were just semi seated lol. We had a lot of fun, although I must say that I am probably spoilt standing in the first row at the AoB concerts, 5th row felt far away. Second minus was the sound. They didn't manage to get it right so that it was sometimes quite hurting in my ears. I'm convinced that it wasn't the fault of the singer, since I consider him to be a good singer but the settings were just miserable. The show was good, but too many ballads for my taste. At a pop concert I like to have uptempo songs to party to the max. All in all it was good. I took some nice pictures and had fun.

Wednesday we took it easy. The day before was exhausting lol. The bus home left at 5 pm. So we went to town around lunch and went through some stores and looked at some things.

All in all I had 4 fantastic and relaxing days in Hamburg. I have been there several times before but never did that much there during so little time :)

Paintball shooting is fun but...

Last week I was paintball shooting, which I got as a birthday present last year from my band friends. I was very curious how it would be. Besides that I have always been a loser when it comes to sports esp. team sport lol I was quite nervous. I was going with M. from the band, since he also had a voucher. We love to tease each other, we always do that during rehearsals, so we thought we would fight against each other like shooting at each other until the ammunition is run out. How should we know this "sport" has rules lol.

So we got an introduction. We got our equipment ... it was indoor. We looked ridiculous since the clothes was far to big for both of us. There were 2 fields and we got to be in the team of someone else. Later on we found out that those guys were from the German army. I was the only woman lol. I got shot after 5 seconds on the field. Right on the safety glasses. But at the end I got more familiar and got to stay longer on the field. It was fun, but on the other hand I was thinking about how we could play war when somewhere on earth people get killed by guns and in wars. This was a strange thing indeed.

Other than that I got hit 3 times really bad and it hurt .... I got hit by a plastic ball filled with colour and it hurt ... can you imagine how real ammunition must hurt? I have some black marks which slightly turn lighter day by day.

This was definitely an experience and I had a lot of fun, but I don't think this could become the sport of my life :)

Thanks to Najs I found this interesting survey:

Funny morphings and other stuff

It's funny what you can make out of one of your ordinary photos and the internet. Some months ago I tried morphing, which was funny, since Jenny Berggren and I made a quite good morph while Ulf looked like a drag queen FUNY I can tell.
Thanks to Mary I found another nice site, where you can print your own money -- J€$$i or R.A.F. Gira money as the boys would say .... or you can make other nice things that make you look important lol ... have fun:

My new project

Today is the 28th September, which means 2 months after my birthday. I realized that when I woke up in the night at 3:43 am. Couldn't sleep any longer. This weekend was so intense. I started reading Jenny's book. I was travelling in time .... my own childhood, thoughts .... Anja said why don't you write a book, you have so many stories to tell. I told her, none is reading my blog, why would anyone read a book that I write.

When I stood in the shower on Sunday, I thought maybe it's a good idea to reflect about my life. Maybe someone in future (my kids or whoelse) is really interested in reading about my life... maybe it's good for me to finally close some chapters. Then we had the interview with Jenny. I asked the question "Who would you like to write a biography... who's biography would you like to read." Jenny thinks and says: "Yours!". Looking at the Acers around her. I told her that we were talking about that the day before and that I thought about reflecting. She thinks that's a good idea.

So there I was at 3:43 this night realizing that none's life is boring that there are so many things I digged down somewhere in my soul. Things I haven't thought of for years. Since I read the first chapters of her book it feels like a have a clot in my stomach. It releases to many memories ... this book (well I haven't finished it yet) is maybe something like a sermon ... something everyone can somehow draw parallels to? Maybe I'm just too sensitive...? Either way today I made the plan. It's been 2 months since my birthday I have 10 months to go, then it's my 30th birthday. I will write. About anything that comes into my mind. It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be pain. But I hope it will release me at the end and open my mind for something new...
