Happy Christmas & a Merry New Year!

Pine scent from the Christmas tree fills the living room I'm sitting in with my macbook on my lap, a cup of chai tea in my hand and a plate of home made christmas biscuits in front of me. ~ Yes, I'm typing with one hand. ~ The Christmas days are just over and I'm the most relaxed I've been in quite a while, hence finally writing this blog post.
But I don't wanna waste this post to bore you talking about all the stuff I've been busy with, instead, I wanna wish you a belated Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year (as I most likely won't post before the 1st of 2017 anymore)!

And coming to speak of the new year, I have so many resolutions:
- to expect less & prepare more
- to judge less & respect more
- to complain less & thank more
- to regret less & smile more
- and of course to travel more :)

What are your new years resolutions? 

And did you have any snow for Christmas where you live?

Christmas Market ~ ✨

Hi everyone,

As Christmas is approaching there are lots and lots of Christmas markets opened on the popular squares of cities here in Luxembourg and Germany~ 

Of course I didn't miss the chance to visit some of these markets and to take loads of photos of the Christmas traditions and typical Christmas snacks in my home country for you (⌒▽⌒)

This is in front of a "dampfnudel" shop ~ a very popular dish or snack for Christmas. 

It's usually served with custard and cherries ~ here's a picture 

It's soooo delicious, yum! ~ （＾ω＾）

You should totally try these if you ever have the chance 

to visit a german Christmas market !

What you should also try is Glühwein, a hot alcoholic drink, basically it's hot wine ~ 

it's also perfect for heating and cheering you up in the cold（笑）

There is usually a Mary-go-round in the centre of each Christmas market. 

Something else you should try are "marones"

,basically hot sweet chestnuts, they are soo good 😋

Hope you've liked this entry and have a 

wonderful Christmas with or without visiting a Christmas market 💖

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year! ~♡ ♡ ♡

So.. now it's all over again...

The annual christmas madness and the new year's binge drinkings.

I hope you've all had very nice ones. 

Since for me, it can still only get better each year.

I have to admit, I've enjoyed Christmas Parties back in England, Christmas Parties & - shopping in Luxembourg and Germany very much this year. 

And now it's almost time to go back to the UK already again.. 

Time this vacation really passed so fast for me 

and it just made me realise how much i really love my friends and family.

The more I'm gonna miss them when i'm back for studying I fear...

Well, here are some photos:

We've even met Santa on the EF Christmas Party! 

back home i've really enjoyed being reunited with my friends again (♥´◡｀♥)

especially my best friend Benny ! 

Besides Party I also went shopping on beautiful christmas markets quite a lot! (´･ω･`)

and here the beautiful christmas decoration on the streets, in the mall & at home! 

 

and what would christmas be without the tastiest traditional self-made christmas biscuits? ^.^

we even have a nutcracker, look! 

I wonder if he turns into a prince if i kiss him? *^^*

i've also received some beautiful christmas cards from my lovely friends in spain and japan!

And this was my New Year's Eve! 

(yup, i dyed my hair that day! ^^)

Well, that's how my vacation went so far & i loved it since i've had a pretty exciting one!

I hope you all had an amazing year 2013 as well,

but i also hope you'll have an even more amazing 2014 of course!

☆Winter Vacation 2013～ Hokkaido, Japan ☆

This was my trip to let the year 2013 have it's perfect ending. 

I've been to Japan!

Finally seeing my friends again was definitely the best thing about this trip.

But besides that, we also went snowboarding, shopping and enjoying the tasty japanese kitchen a lot.

In Comparison to England or Germany, Japan was quite cold already and it even snowed in Sapporo!

It was wonderful tho for me, as usual when i travel to Japan.

I simply love this country. 

The people are all so nice & everything is just so interesting. 

It's like you can never get enough of it.

Of course I didn't travel all the way to Japan without taking a single photograph, so here they come.

Enjoy~

when i arrived in Tokyo it was really rainy but not so cold.

we also went to disney sea where akio bought me that cute bear & we could enjoy the beautiful christmas atmosphere.

party is always good.👍

dinner with the cutest boy ever :3

i've also worked on my black & white photography of daily life sceneries a little while in japan.

There are streets in Sapporo & the Otaru train station.

Looking Forward Christmas..

I'm sooooo looking forward this christmas vacation, 

you have no idea how exhausted i am from school 

since it lasts from august until now without a single break. 

It is still very different in comparison to school in luxemburg where we have additional holidays and the autumn vacation. 

it just makes it feel like a lot less vacation here in england, 

even though i know it is about the same amount of days we get off.

Since there are the second subject assemblies running at the moment 

and the teachers have to write our second reports school is quite busy as well. 

I just finished a 1000 word essay for TOK about 'knowing through imagination'. 

I'm also looking forward going to japan, see my friends again, 

and of course going back home! ～＼(^o^)／

I have to admit I actually didn't really miss my family awfully much 

but i think it will be nice to see them all again anyway 

(and my beloved dog of course!) 

I spend much free time these days focussing on my school work but as well 

listening to music, watching movies and with my friends. 

it is actually still unbelievable for me i've already made so many friends 

in the short time i'm at EF and i love the fact that they're all international 

since it makes it way more interesting～♪

Here a bunch photos ;3

my new boyfriend.. i call him johnny ;)

last but not least a selfie (of course) (*^^*)♪

if you like the filter i've used on these pictures you should try out the app 'afterlight' - it gives awesome effects and looks to your photos (◕ ‿ - )
