The Big Bang.

So... two days ago I was called into the office of my boss. He told me that I have to change stores, because they 'lost' their actual trainee and they are way bigger. I was shocked. I love my team, I love the small store. I have to get along with every thing and every one all over again. Meeting new people is always a bit of a difficulty for me. But I will overcome this. Everything is going to be fine.

Now on to some pics. Mostly taken with my phone.

Starting heading home on Christmas Eve. The weather was wonderful.

Inside the train with my beloved Vanilla Rooibos.

Me on Christmas. Lately I'm thinking of cutting my hair like I put them on the second picture. But I don't know if I will be feeling fine with short hair.

So on the 27th I went back here with my parents. We went to Cologne on the same day. It was awefully full. Didn't like it at all. Two days ago we went to 'Nido', a Pizzeria at MG. It was really awesome. The pizza tasted exactly as in Italy. Loved it. ♥
Yesterday we went to Düsseldorf. I fell in love with a coat in Bonita. Normally Bonita is just some kind of 'older lady' fashion store and I only went in there because of my mum. I want this coat, but it's still awefully expensive. Gotta wait.

Cologne Cathedral at night. I think is so much more impressive than in daylight.

By the way.. I got this awesome tea. Rooibos mixed with Christmas flavours. I need to find some more of it to buy! Other than the tea I go sweets (honey wafers... omg), mouse-shaped bookends, a ticket for a show of Bülent Ceylan (German comedian), an awesome vest and lots of money.

I'm going to spend tomorrow with my parents here in my flat, doing Raclette.
Since I don't know when I'm going to find some time to write another entry.

☆Happy New Year!!☆　
I wish everyone who stops by here an awesome new year with a lot of success, happiness and health.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all of you!

I hope you are having a wonderful time with your family and friends.
I'm posting this from my phone, because I didn't take my laptop home with me. I hope the pictures will show up and they will give you a tiny impression of how I spent Christmas Eve.
We went to church after having dinner, singing some Christmas songs and giving our presents to each other.
I'm going to make another post once I'm back in MG.

About me

I can't believe I already have 6 readers! Thank you so much!

So.. I'm dead tired.
There are still 2 days of work left until I can go home finally. Two days on which I have to work until 7 p.m. I have to survive those two days. I will. But it's going to be hard. I guess I will go to sleep once I've finished this post.

This was my dinner. Of course I'm only dining with a book on my side. ;)

Books & Chocolate

So this week has finally come to an end. Today was hard. I don't know how many people came into the store but... Well, I was about 7 hours at the checkout. At some point I was not able to talk anymore because of repeating the same phrases all over again. 'Would you like a bag', 'Does anything need to be wrapped', 'Here's your change'.... At 5 pm me and three of my colleagues were finally finished. We have those vests at work with the logo of our company at the back. We lined up and walked back to the break room singing 'Hey Zwerge, hey Zwerge, hey Zwerge, ho!' until we reached the door. When we closed the door behind us we couldn't stop laughing. It was an awesome end of the work day.

Dear readers, I warmly recommend this book to you. Sadly it has not been translated into English yet. But at least my German readers should read it. It's an awesome story about a Larp group, it includes a curse and well described characters. I won't tell more. Just read it.
It seems there are a lot promising German writers like her and Isabel Abedi lately. I think it's awesome, because translated books just lack something most of the time.

This is the other book I've read this week. Just finished it during my break today.
It's so heartwarming and lovely. It's about a girl who has always cared for herself, because her mother was on drugs most of the time. When her mother dies she needs to live with her uncle who seems strange at first but the two develop a strong family relationship. Some parts of the book are told by a cat living in the garden of the house. Those parts make it even more unique. I loved it. (The original is called 'Wild Things')

Now on to something completely different.

Milka vs. Oreo.

MILKA AND OREO.
Dear readers... don't buy it. You won't be able to stop until the package is empty. ♥

I need to change my eating habits again. I've been lacking lately. Don't like it.
Only one week until I'm going to go home for 4 days. I can't wait for it. One week until Christmas.

A lovely 3rd Advent everyone! ♥
