Update on my life...

I really should continue writing here...

It's not like I didn't want to write more stories for my blog. Actually I wanted to write something very badly. In fact I even have a story in my drafts but never got it published. So let's see. During the christmas and newyears days I went to Berlin again~! Yes that's right. I'll add some pictures of that to this post too. But only my favourites.

So this time I stayed with my aunt alone. As some of you may know I don't really have a job or study at the moment. To be honest my lifestyle also gets in the way. Almost every night a cat or another disturbance keeps me from sleeping properly. If I don't sleep properly I'm only half alive. If it's really bad things get really hazy and it feels like I'm living in a dream. I was on google and there they said it's a sign of depression or fear but I only have this feeling whenever I haven't had enough hours of sleep otherwise I feel like I could rule the world without any problems. So it's probably something else and it annoys me soooo much.

Thing is my auntie really wanted to help me to get to a study or so. With my lifestyle now it's smarter to do so at an evening or home - school / study. Also for work with everything that keeps me awake longer than I wish I can't do anything before let's say 2 or 3 p.m.. No I am not proud of this! and YES I want to work and get out in the world! More than anything so my dear blog readers if you know something for me I'm thrilled to hear because my life needs some change and that very badly. So badly every corner of me is itching for it from the outside to the deepest depths and corners of my soul.
Thing is I have no idea where to start. I was thinking okay let's start by moving out. But it's not that easy. I mean I need a place. A place I'm okay with calling my home. It shouldn't be too expensive and since I can't drive a car it would be nice to be near the train station or public transport. When shared with others they should be nice people who I can trust too. I'm not asking too much this way right?

 Another subject I want to mention is my movement disorder I will give my personal story later and it's different for every one who has this but untill I'll tell my personal story I would like to point out these pages.
English: Portal on Wikipedia , and this is then mainly my kind.

Well my sister just came in and wants the pc. So my favourite Berlin pictures get another post <3

I'll tell more later then ^_^

Days in Berlin

Oma is German and Dutch for grandma or granny. She got this plushie years ago from us.
So I don't have all photo's I'd like to share together yet since my father won't give me his SD card of his camera... But I don't want to wait with writing so I'll add his photo's in a later post or edit this one. Not so sure about that yet... We'll see once I have them.



Day 1. (Wednesday 14 November 2012)

I was so tired I only had a few hours of sleep. But we where going to sit in the car most of the time. On the way we also took a break in Bad Oeynhausen. Went to look at some shops I bought 2 notebooks also saw some other fun things but I didn't have pocket money on me (forgot it at home) and was to lazy to go to a bank. So I didn't get anything at the other shop exept for some eyecandy to look at for a little while. That is untill we went on from there. While we girls (my mother, sister and me) where at the shops my father and brother went for a little drink at a cafébar.
So then we went on to Berlin. Untill we arived at the place we would stay...
We stayed at the Jugendgästehaus part of the St Michael's Heim (http://www.st-michaels.de/). Meaning we had a room for the 5 of us. I don't really have made a picture of our room (maybe my father does) but it looked a little bit like this room:

(Disclaimer: This photo is not mine but was found on this page)

We decided where we would sleep. First my sister and I didn't want to sleep on the upper beds (it was 2 upper beds and 3 on a normal level). But then we decided it was probably better since our parents aren't the youngest anymore and our little brother had claimed the single bed.
Ah yes I forgot to mention when we arived we couldn't get a spot to park our car so we drove up to the fountain for a start so we could atleast unpack the car and bring our stuff to our room. The reason there wasn't any space to park was because of some event they had in the building but it would be over after a little while so we could get a spot later anyway.
Also do have to mention I was so tired I had gotten hyperactive and started making funny faces in every mirror I saw and did some other silly stuff. Yeah I am weird like that. My sister mentioned she was ashamed of us. Also since my father in his tiredness had gotten a little bit unreasonable when we picked up our key at the check in... Yeah that was our weird first impression ( ''=.=)

So after we decided who sleeps where and unpacked our stuff we went to Oma's (= grandma's) place. She had an Abendbrot waiting for us. Well do have to say we where hungry so we were happy with some slices of bread to eat.
After spending a lovely evening chatting and eating with Oma we went to our room - St. Michael's Heim isn't very far away from my grandmother's home only a street or something like that and you're there.
Well after making our beds ready and everyone went to sleep... This is when the concert of the snoring started my father was away to dreamland really fast with a lot of noise as if he wanted to demonstrate that he was sleeping. A little later my mother joined in and we kids couldn't sleep at first ... and guess what I couldn't get to sleep for so long.... I probably was awake the longest of everyone and so tired... Yep life is unfair sometimes and this night wasn't fun.

Day 2. (Thursday 15 November 2012)

Happy Birthday Oma Evi!!!

This little girl is 80 years already can you believe it? (photo of a photo from my grandmother)

It's the Birthday of my cute little Oma. We went to her house for breakfast. Well breakfast is that she runs around filling the table with food. We wanted to help so she could sit down and eat with us but somehow she can't sit still and always ends up running around between the kitchen and livingroom more than us. While all we want is her just to sit down and eat with us (Besides if we really need something extra we can walk to the kitchen too no problem). Still it always ends up that way. Well eventually she slows down and sits with us anyway.
We went to shop for a few things at the Aldi. While we where away (except my mother since she needed to open the door) Tante Annemarie and Onkel Gerhard arrived. Tante Annemarie is my Oma's best friend. She doesn't have any siblings so I also think that Tante Annemarie is the closest thing to a sister for her.
It was so lovely to see Tante Annemarie and Onkel Gerhard again. We had coffee and cake together for the afternoon.
Then it was evening and time for a birthday dinner. We had the birthay dinner with 10 people so the 5 of us from our family + Tante Annemarie & Onkel Gerhard + Tante Delphine (my mother's little sister) & Jochen (Tante Phine's Partner so that makes him my Onkel too now that I think about it) and most important Oma Eva.
The dinner was at a Thai Restaurant. The food was so good and decorated so lovely. Sadly I didn't have my camera with me for photo's but I still had my 3DS in my bag. So I could shoot some crappy photo's of our dinner here are the nicest pictures of the evening:

So here you have some crappy pictures of the people around the table and the dinner ( ^_^) - I'm not on these pictures since I was too busy taking some.

We all had a wonderful evening together. Sadly my aunt didn't feel super great because she is still getting better from her pneumonia plus the fact that her past work place fired her. What a stupid people there. Well I just hope my aunt gets better and gets a way better job! She deserves it. (Hello people in Berlin reading this *hint hint* my aunt is awesome! ~ so give her a good job).

My Grandmother got a Stolperstein for her father as a gift and from us children a necklace with our names around her name in the middle. I don't have a picture of it but I bought it from Etsy - Woobiebeans. Since no one of us calls her Nana (her daughters call her Mama or Mutti and we grandchildren call her Oma or Oma Evi) I asked if she could stamp Eva in the middle since that is her name.

Well after the evening going back to our sleeping places ... well eventually the snoring concert started again and I had a bad night again (O_O; ) - I'm not made for nights in shared rooms I think...

Day 3. (Friday 16 November 2012)

Well I'll just skip the breakfast and all. It was cozy and nice to sit with everyone around the breakfast table.

This day we went swimming. Well I tried to swim but I was so tired that I couldn't do much. The pool was a sport bath so really for swimming only. It is good and actually I love to swim but today I was tired and because of my movement disorder I was feeling twitchy too. So you can imagine I didn't want to swim in the middle. I just went swimming a little bit in the deep but then I decided it's not really smart to do so. My grandmother was doing gymnastics in the undeep bath so I just went to sit and watch that. When she was done my sister Saar and I had the undeep bath for ourself so we went to try a few things and we played with those noodle things. But then Saar was tired so we went out of the water to sit on the side and chat a little about life.
After swimming we went to eat a afternoon meal in a restaurant. I had a mushroom soup and some salad. Because I didn't want to eat meat. Actually I'm not a vegetarian but I still prefer not to eat meat. I do eat a little bit sometimes but it's really rare and even if I'll have just little bits.

The evening was cozy again with stories of the day from the others. Tante Annemarie and Onkel Gerhard went shopping for some clothes and my mother also went her own way shopping. While my little brother had stayed home playing video games on the 3DS.

Photo's from around the swimmingpool.

The night in our room was still loud but I was so tired that sleeping came a little bit easier. Only a little bit. Still better is always a better thing.

Day 4. (Saturday 17 November 2012)

So this day Tante Annemarie and Onkel Gerhard went home again. Sadly since I really liked every second spend with them too. Before they went home I wanted a nice photo so here is the nicest one.
My Oma, Tante Annemarie & Onkel Gerhard.
They are very dear to me.

The day before Tante Annemarie both gave us 20 Euro. Something I always lately do if some one randomly gives us money is to buy something I can actually keep from it. Same counts for my sister I think. Well we just didn't want to spend it on just anything but something special!
So on the way to our aunt we'd visit that day we made a stop at the Karstadt. There we looked in the jewelry section. We did see some things we liked but I really wanted to visit the Europa-Center too so we went to the Europa-Center and I bought a comic book (no not with Tante Annemarie's money). We looked around if we maybe could find nicer jewelry but we didn't so my sister really wanted to go back to the Karstadt. There my sister bought angelwings since she thought that went well with her necklace. I bought a silver butterfly. Actually I'm looking around for a silver flower for my necklace but can't seem to find one that I like so well for now the butterfly is fine. So yes I bought a beautiful butterfly for a necklace from Tante Annemarie's money I do believe it's well spend with that.

Then it was time to get back on the bus and we went on to our aunt's home.
It was so lovely at Phine's home. We talked and looked around. She has some awesome instruments. I really love them. Silently played a little bit with it. I love her home it's so cozy to be there. She also had finished my necklace, yay! So I can wear it with lot's of pride now.
My sister and I where happy that it took the others a bit to get there with the car so we could spend some allone time with our aunt. ( ^_^)
But when they arrived it was nice too we had cake and we got our Christmas presents a little bit early. I got a drawing book about elves so lovely. Since I have a lot of itches for drawing lately I will probably make use of it soon.

(my necklace)

So the way back home was a little bit weird. We all had to go in the car, so what did we do? I made my mother pull her chair a bit more to the front and I went to sit on the floor at the feet of my grandmother. First hiding in my coat pretending I'm a bag because there was police around. Eventually we dropped our grandmother off at her house and we went to our room. Since we had some time before going to sleep. My sister and I decided to explore the building. So we went to look around. We also heard music comming from a party room downstairs. My sister and I had our own personal little space where we danced and had our own mini party for a few songs. Then we went on with exploring a little bit and on the way back to the room we went back to having our mini party part 2. Only for two or three songs then we went back to the room to start packing the bags so we would be almost ready in the morning. Then it was time to sleep.
The night was kind of like the one before it was a little bit easier to get to sleep but still not really enough.

Day 5. (Sunday 18 November 2012)

Our last morning of our little Berlin visit. Like every morning we had a nice breakfast. I also loved spending my time there. It was very nice. Our sweet little Oma even gave us all a envelope with Christmas money. Although I didn't look at how much it is yet (and I still haven't opened it *keeping it closed till Christmas*). She came down with us to let us out and as I looked back I saw how she still stood at the gate of her house waving at us. Getting little. My eyes where stinging a little bit. Oh how much I would have loved it to just jump out the car run to her and give her another big hug with kisses on every cheek.

On the way back we stopped by Reinhard & Ingrid (Ingrid is the daughter of Tante Annemarie and Onkel Gerhard). There the first thing we had to try was riding a high wheel bike. My sister went on both and I only went on the smaller one. She managed to do better than me I think. As for me I guess I need a bit more time to get a good feel for it I think but it's difficult since we don't have bikes like that here.
I do have some pictures of Saar on the bike and one with Reinhard on the bike.
Here you go:

After the bike adventure we had pizza! It tasted really good ( ^_^) I had 2 slices one with salami (???) and one with tuna. Thomas also came with Sophia (or is it written Sofia?) we talked and had a cup of coffee. It was very nice. I hope to see them all again. My little brother sadly wanted to leave right after the pizza. I think he expected we'd only have pizza and continue our way home (and he didn't like it that we also talked about him). You see he has aspergers so well... we sure all noticed it then in his behaviour. Things have to be a little bit more clear for him I think. Do notice that if things don't follow his rules he doesn't like it much.

Still he's a sweet boy too he just doesn't like to talk about all the things.

Well after the lovely afternoon break (I really enjoyed it sooo much I wouldn't mind if it lasted longer) we had to go home...
And a lovely thing it is to be home too. I can sleep in a room without a snoring concert I'm very happy with that.

My grandmother when she was a tiny girl <3

I do have more photo's made these days but I will add all that + the photo's from my father in a later post :)

Back from Berlin... stories in a later post.

Sooo I haven't been on the internet for a few days now. Why? Well very simple, I was in Berlin for a few days. Because it was my grandmothers (my mother's mother) birthday. She is a proud 80 years now.

I have to say I am happy to be back home. Not because I didn't like Berlin (in fact I like it to be in Berlin)... but I am very happy to sleep in a room for myself now. Since in Berlin we stayed in a room for 5, with 5 people. Normally when I was a child this wasn't a problem... but now... Well let's just say it's not easy to sleep in a room with people making loud snoring noises. I had a real concert there and somehow I couldn't get to rest. Do have to say I did get some sleep but little. For me that's not good at all but I'll talk about that in some other future post.

I didn't miss the internet, not even a little bit. At the moment I am mostly just busy unpacking and gathering the photo's from the last few days. Then I can share some of them here and tell a bit about the time in Berlin. After that do some other things that need to be done and get on with brainstorming about something else I also wish to mention here later.

Well I´ll get to writing a little bit later since in a bit my father will come and we will pick up our pets (yep we have pets ^_^). I really missed my cat. I hope she did fine in the cat hotel and that she was kind to the other cats there.

So well I will post about Berlin a bit later... Till then
