ascension.

Last week my parents paid me a visit and we literally walked through the whole city. I took some pictures and wanted to share them with you. It actually looks like I've been on holidays, too, right? But the lake on the pictures is actually in the middle of the english garden in Munich.

I am also trying to improve my nutrition-style, encouraged by a friend of mine. Trying to reduce food to veggies and fruits (no raffinated sugar, no bread, ha, but I can tell you the last thing didn't work, yet) So I went to this market selling fruit that has already been sorted out by the supermarkets and bought lots of stuff for few money, and I took some prickly pears, because I never tried them and made the mistake, touching them with my bear hands. Yes I had heard before, that these little bitches sting, when my boss told me a story about plucking them with his bare hands, but I thought, they would be ridded of their prickles before sale, no? That's probably too demanding, huh?! Well, FYI, i can still feel some of them prickles on my hands, and I can assure you, the taste wasn't even remotely worth the pain!!

 In other news: I opened an account on instacanv.as where some of my Photos from Instagram are for sale. I thought, why not try it, and earn some money on the side. Click on the image below to visit the gallery.

lately.

You might have noticed, it has been a bit quiet around here the last weeks. I already mentioned, there soon might be some changes in my life, and to achieve these changes I had to invest some time, but on the weekends I still tried to enjoy my free time. And I wanted to share some impressions with you, I captured via Instagram. 

glow.

Yet, another eventful week has passed, and I am going to share some impressions with you sweethearts. Saturday last week I spent some time with my BFF and her sister again. First we went shopping and afterwards we enjoyed the evening sun at the Isar. We had hoped that not many others would be there, since there was a football game taking place at the same time, but it was crowded as hell, with wannabe vikings singing Manowar songs and other rather unpleasant people. But still it was a nice atmosphere. 

Then on monday I got an invitation for a hiphop show, once again, one of my friends, Laura, won tickets and she asked me if I wanna come. Sure I do! I had lots of fun with the main act, Gonjasufi, the atmosphere was great with all those people celebrating one of their musical heroes which I had never heard of before (shame on me!) But I was even more intrigued by Sun Glitters, the guy from Luxembourg who played as support act. Very nice tunes. But then again, it was rather sad, that the audience seemed not to be open-minded enough to enjoy an artist outside their favourite genre. 

Then, I don't know why, but people keep bringing me awesome foods, like cake and stuff, and I just can't refuse their offerings, can I? Oh, and apparently, right now I am enjoying clumsy times, I'll probably report about a huge mistake I committed, in my monthly review in a few days, but here I show you what happens, when you live in a really small place and have no space to put things, and then you put them in dangerous places and then shit happens. So the only wine glass I had (which I, by the way, stole from a bar that sold me a ridiculously overpriced drink, so I suspected the glass was inclusive, uhmmm yeah) broke into a thousand pieces.   

And here is a picture of a littly buddy, who went astray in my hallway and was my guest for several days. He didn't move an inch the first 48 hours, and I got a little worried. I opened the windows and hoped he would fly away but then he just moved from one wall to another. But finally, today he found his way out. I named him George, by the way. Farewell, Georgie! 

surprise.

Now that I am highly addicted to instagram I want to share some photos on a weekly basis with you.

Up there you see the kitteh of my housemate who visited my apartment because obviously it was no good weather for playing outside.

Also, I ate a lot of cake this week. There was even a third piece I didn't take a picture of. Just for the record, it was a walnut tarte.

On tuesday, I went to the BEAR IN HEAVEN concert, which was, of course, amazing. I must be on a winning streak, I dunno, but again (as for the last concert with OBERHOFER & WHITE ARROWS) I won tickets for the show, very last minute style. More by accident, I found a contest online and wrote an e-mail, and 15 minutes later I got a notification, that I had won the tickets. That's pretty convenient considering all the upcoming shows in june (What's going on anyway, Munich?). So, because I saved some money with the tickets, I thought I could invest in the sweet bag shown above. 

And then yesterday, I had a suprise day off. I didn't know there would be yet another bavarian feast day as there already had been lots of them the last weeks. So I fixed a date with my BFF and her sister, and we spent some time in Munichs famous recreational park, the english garden, with it's surfer boys, some unbelievable red trees and a satisfying amount of FroYo.

spring is coming.
