Help!

OK guys, I watched the series finale of The Walking Dead today. OMG OMG OMG OMG. I'm warning you hereby, spoilers are gonna come.

Source


Sooooo, today's Monday and Monday is The Walking Dead day and because it was the season finale therefore my friend Lexa and I decided to watch it together. After school was finished we went to New World first and then we made our way to her home. The best thing about her house was her cats omg, I miss my cats so much, it's not normal anymore. She had three cats, a black one, a brown striped one and a brown one. The first two were as I would say quite fond of me and I reallllllllly liked that :3 That was like the highlight of my day honestly, I was so happy hahaha. Anyways, so we turned on her computer and scoured The Walking Dead and the it began. We bought heaps of food and tissues at New World in order to survive the night. So, we started watching and Lexa and I were like basically shaking the entire time and we were so freaking scared we almost couldn't watch it. Like I seriously almost died, I had my TWD jumper on and nearly died because it was so suspense-packed and thrilling. Towards the end, along the lines of the last ten minutes and these were the worst ten minutes of my life. Negan finally came (God bless Jeffrey Dean Morgan, he's an awesome actor) and that made me even more scared. The end was like the absolute worst, I know that one of my babies died but I don't know which one and that drives me crazy. I was literally shaking after it was over omg. According to Negan's counting it should be either Glenn whereas I suppose it is not, Daryl which is unfortunately really likely or Abraham and I just can't stand the thought of one of them being dead, it can't stand it. I think it is Abraham but I'm not entirely sure, I don't want him to be dead, I don't want anyone of them to be dead :(
Well, afterwards we started watching Talking Dead where they had some great teasers for Fear the Walking Dead and then Game of Thrones, season three episode nine and ten and that was quite relieving actually hahah. It was the Red Wedding but I felt quite good after watching it, at least compared to what happened in The Walking Dead. Seeing my baby Iwan (Ramsay ˆˆ) in episode ten made me happy and partly forget about the season finale. When that was over we watched Family Guy for a bit until I took the bus home or at least to Johnsonville where I was stranded because my bus to Churton Park didn't come hahah. I called my host father to pick me up and that was no problem at all, I was at home within half an hour. When I came home I had dinner first and then proceeded watching iZombie (I'm up to season two, episode two) after I took a shower and downloaded an app to learn Dothraki (yes, I'm picking it up again lol).

I Want You

Today's post is gonna be quite a short post because I want to watch a movie and I haven't got much time so yeahhhh.

So, I was at school at approximately 11am because I had a really late start . First period maths. Awesome. Well I got over with this one and then I had study period where my friend and I were just talking and talking and talking about Game of Thrones and the upcoming ball this year in June. After that we had lunch and we just kept on talking hahaha. I had form time after that where I met another friend of mine who watches The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones as well and we just talked about that for a while until we had class again, I had Englihs, like the most boring subject ever, at least here. After English school was finally over and I went to the phone shop in order to get the glass protection of my phone repaired and well, none of the two shops had the right glass for my phone. FML. Ok, my life goes on so I went to EB Games where they had Funko Pop figures and you can guess what happened next hahaha. Well, it was not my fault, they had like a billion figures there, what should I do?? In the end I just bought three anyways, that is not that much is it? And I couldn't decide between all those wonderful characters from Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, Marvel, DC, Pirates of the Caribbean etc. etc. Hahaha. Two of my friends saw me standing there (I couldn't have danced with another, uhhh, when I Saw Her Standing There, love that song hahaha) and came over to help me with my choice which I gladly took because I was quite helpless hahaha. I chose three of three of my favourite characters lol. There they are:

With A Little Help From My Friends

Sorry guys for not posting for a while but I simply didn't have enough time to do so. Well, now I'm back with some interesting stories from the past few days.

Beatles With A Little Help From My Friends New Zealand
Source
Day 1
Ok, so it all started on Sunday (Easter Sunday btw hahahah) when I was still in bed and then my alarm clock rang. I snoozed it and went back to bed. Like 15 minutes later it rang again and I was like wtf I thought I had turned it off already but it wasn't the alarm clock ringing which I realised after like five seconds because my alarm sound is Help! from The Beatles and that song was The Rains of Castamere. Something did not add up therefore. I checked my phone that I also use as an alarm clock and checked what was wrong and found out that my friend Kim was calling me. OMG, it was too early (like 10:30 am or so lol)! I picked up anyways because she's one of my best friends and I wanted to know what's up. She asked me if I wanted to do stuff with her on this day and I was like sure, what do you wanna do and suggested her to come over and hang around with me for a while. I had to ask my host parents first of course but in order to do that I had to get up and take a shower first. I hate taking showers so it took me like 15 min to get ready basically and then I went downstairs and asked if it's OK that Kim comes over and chills at ours for a bit. They were alright with it and so half an hour later she was here. We didn't really do anything besides talking and watching YouTube videos together but it was still a very successful day hahah. I even got an Easter bunny from my host family. I haven't eaten the whole thing yet though. Well, that was Sunday hahah, not really that interesting.

Day 2
Monday was like the most boring day ever. I got up at I don't even know like 11am I guess and my host family was gone, all of them were gone and I did not know where they had gone without me (in the end they turned out to be in town at a playdate haha). So the only things I did that day, it was Monday, were watching The Grinder (Hana Hayes <3), sorting out all my e-mails, texting my parents and ordering some really nice shirts online. Unbelievably productive. I am finished with the first 18 episodes of The Grinder now and omg, I love this show so much. The shirts are awesome, too, it took me like two hours to order them and get everything straight but I did it in the end hahah. They were two Game of Thrones shirts, one music shirt and two Beatles shirts. I love them already even though I don't even have them yet. Sorting out my e-mails took me approximately three hours, it was absolutely horrible. Keep in mind guys, always sort out your e-mails immediately otherwise you'll have incredibly much work to do when you eventually have to.

Day 3
On Tuesday Kim and I decided to do stuff again with each other. We live relatively close by each other so it wasn't that hard to get over to her place and play with the neighbour's dog. Well, I am a total cat person and not really fond of dogs anymore since I've got one myself that is always barking and whining. So it ended up being Kim playing with the dog and running around and chasing the dog and me lying around in the sun like a lazy cat. We went back to hers and were just talking and talking and talking until we left to walk over to mine in order to watch some horror movies I found online. On the way to mine we stopped at the supermarket to buy some snacks ans stuff that we don't starve watching our movies hahah. We ended up with three bags of food. I am actually not allowed to have food in my room which really affected the next 15 minutes hahahah. At the front door of my house I realised that I had forgotten my key at home. Shit. Now what? We couldn't go in with all the food we just bought so Kim put it in front of the garage door when my hostdad and my hostbrother were coming to let us in. He told us that hes going to the supermarket soonish therefore the food had to get away from where it was at this particular moment. The next thing we did was going upstairs and pretending not having anything at all. Then we took the back door in order to get our snacks away from the garage door and to get it inside. We put it into the laundry room and then unfortunately my hostdad and my hostbrother went upstairs to get changed. Fml. I checked on my hostdad and Kim brought our stuff upstairs but we didn't jut walk like normal people, we ran like total retards hahaha. Omg, it was like the funniest thing I had done in ages. Finally upstairs we I turned on my computer and we started looking for the horror movies we wanted to watch. It did not work as well as we had planned. We ended up watching more videos about horror movies and scary movies in general than actual movies because we just could not decide on a movie. I love horror movies therefore I've already seen quite a number of them and Kim requested to watch a movie we both hadn't seen before. Having seen a lot already as I said, it was pretty hard to actually find one we both have not ever seen. After a period of time I found a list with the Top 100 horror movies and I decided to watch the Babadook as neither Kim nor I have seen this one. Throughout the entire time of watching the feature film I tried to scare Kim as much as I could hahah. It worked quite well until the end of the movie because she wasn't scared anymore :( The movie was pretty stupid anyways in my opinion like nothing really happened. After that movie we decided to watch another one that was more like a horror comedy (it was The Final Girls for anyone who's interested lol) which was actually quite a splendid movie especially because Taissa Farmiga was in there and I love her ahaha. After this one we decided to go on Pinterest for a while and we found some hilarious jokes about Germans and Scandinavians. Suddenly it was 2am and well, then we decided to go go to bed and sleep.

Day 4
Today we got up at like 11am but we got woken up way earlier due to that damn dog. My hostparents had to leave at approximately 7:30am and as soon as they get up the dog starts barking. Kim and I both slept in my bed and when the dog was barking I turned towards her and she was staring at me, I was oretty much shocked to see that that early in the morning hahaha. After getting up we decided to well, just stay in bed and do nothing for a while. After doing this for a while we did it again for another certain amount of time hahahaha. You can guess what I've done today, nothing ahahah. Well, we ended up just talking about so much random and then I got out of bed for the first time today at like 1:30pm in order to get my tablet and go on facebook because I got a message from my friend. Afterwards I found some food videos and then we started watching these for another 45 minutes or so. Then we were hungry. Like really hungry. My hostdad leaves to get my hostbrother from school at approximately 2:30pm every day and that's when we went downstairs to get some food and not die. We decided to eat cornflakes and pita bread for "breakfast" and it was quite filling and we were happy afterwards. Upstairs we turned on my computer and started watching amazingly sad and moving ads on YouTube. After watching all these melancholy ads we were looking for a happy movie to watch and Kim suggested "Home", a film I hadn't seen yet and was looking forward to watching it eventually. Because it was late afternoon already Kim contacted her hostmum if she could stay for dinner and finish the movie we had just started. She was fine with it and we finished that absolutely wonderful DreamWorks feature film and had dinner later on. Following dinner Kim had to go home and my hostmum was so kindhearted to give her a lift home because it was already getting dark at this point of time. I came with them and when we reached her house I got out of the car to sit in the front and dropped my phone from like 80cm. Fortunately I have a glass protection on my phone which saved the real glass from shattering but the glass protection shattered anyways. F*** that. Well, never mind, I'll let it get replaced tomorrow when I am going to the phone shop.

That typical picture of the bae again, he's so cute omg

I'm going to bed now, it's quite late already, good night

We Can Work It Out

Ok, so yesterday was the first day In My Life (there we go again ^^) I successfully baked something without my mum.

Source

I was at a friend's house yesterday and we actually wanted to bake something from like each country, she from Russia and I'm drop Germany. Unfortunately it was Good Friday and like nothing was open except for the dairy. So we couldn't make the Russian food my friend planned to make and I thought we could not make my food (Rohrnudeln for anyone of you who happens to speak Bavarian hahah) either but I was wrong, we were in actuality able to make mine. So, I looked up the recipe online and found a really nice German website that had the full recipe, relatively simple explained. Even I understood it hahaha. So, now my friend Alycia and I had to find the ingredients which we did not at first because we were at her boyfriend's house hahah. After having found all the ingredients we could start eventually. So now it was mixing some of it together, putting it next to the fireplace to keep it warm, mixing the rest together and kneading it, putting it next to the fireplace again, rolling it to small balls and putting it into the baking form and then, who would have thought that, putting it back next to the fireplace again hahaha. Well, after doing that for almost two and half hours we finally put it in the oven for like another 45 minutes. When it was finished Alycia and I put it out of the oven and it actually smelled like sooo nice but we couldn't eat it quite yet because, well, it came directly out of the oven therefore it was still really hot. As we were waiting for it to cool down we just started watching a movie, I think it was 'Happy Gilmore' with Adam Sandler. When it's cooled down we started eating and it was sooo delicious omg. We had eight pieces in total so each of us only got two but those two were just perfect. Well, that was my first real attempt and it worked out really well, I was so happy :3







     These are the beautiful Rohrnudeln.


Here a picture of baby Iwan again (ˆˆ;

I'm gonna watch a German TV programme now and finish my post.

I've Just Seen A Face

I have Acne. No, I won't deny it or hide it because there is absolutely no point, it is how it is if I accept it or not. OK, now let's talk about it. I am 16 and my acne started when I was about 13, so I've had it for approximately 3 years now, sometimes worse and sometimes not that bad. Unless other people I had the luck that I was never bullied for it and I'm still not getting bullied at all.


Source

For all of you who are getting bullied because of their skin: the douchebags bullying you are just ignorant people who're looking for an 'easy target'. You are beautiful the way you are, on the inside and on the outside, please always remember that! There will always be people who love you no matter what! Stay strong and stay who you are!
I've had times when I though who would ever love me when I look like that, pimples all over my face and red marks and everything and I was just so done with life. I couldn't think of anyone who loves me or even just likes me, you know. I still sometimes think that but then there are the people in your life who just love you, no matter what you look like, how you dress, what you sound like or what other people say and think about you. I've always had these people in my life, and so do you. My family, my best friend in Germany, my best friend here, just mates and even pets. For a certain amount of time I've tried to cover it up with Make Up and everything but that just made everything worse. One day I decided to stop wearing Make Up completely and just put some on on special occasions which really enhanced the state of my skin. It's still not really good but it's become better, notably better.
What I could not change and what I still have problems with is not touching my face and picking on the spots on it. I just can't stop, it is really bad, I know. I'm not even doing it on purpose, it's just a habit I can't break. If you have any tips on that, please tell me hahah. I think, the worst thing is when you have like one of these white yellowy pus filled pimples you actually just wanna pop but that is bad for your skin hahaha. I hate that so much omg. Well, I'm still living with it and basically the only tips I can give you are, wash your face every day and at least at night but best would be in the mornings, too, with some kind of cleanser and what I use daily is an Aloe Vera Gel which is without any alcohol. I don't really use anything else, Vaseline at times but that's it.

Sooooo, I think that is my acne story so far if I remember anything else I'll just make another post about it.

Another photo of my baby *-*

I'm gonna watch The Grinder (with my precious Hana <3) in peace now

Here Comes The Sun

Hello my dear friends, followers and fellow bloggers, whoever you may be. I've been in New Zealand for a little over eight months now and I have certainly learnt at least one lesson.  
Never leave the house without sunscreen, ever. Always apply it to all possible regions of your body (as bad at that sounds now hahah). 

Source

 In November (which is the end of spring here in New Zealand for all of you Northern Hemisphere people like me lol) there was some sort of camp with all the International students who didn't have to do exams from my school. We went up to the Kapiti Coast which is one of the hottest places in the Wellington region in summer. In November it wasn't even that hot yet but we still had quite nice temperatures and a comfortable heat. So, one day we went to the beach and built some really cool sculptures (it was a rather hot day at the beginning) and afterwards we decided to go to the pool. My friend Isla and I went back to the camping place and changed into our swimming gear but we didn't put sunscreen on. It didn't really matter to her because she's part Latin American but it did indeed matter to me being a typical, white Middle-European. It mattered a lot. So, we went to the pool, all dressed in swimsuit and shit, and then we jumped into the pool, she kept her shirt on, I did not. It was the biggest mistake ever. We stayed there from 3pm on until like 5pm and I didn't have sunscreen on at all. I noticed it and the idiot I was I just turned it down and said it's not that bad. After like 15min I put it on and just kept lying in the shade. After a while we went back and when I examined the burns on my arms and shoulders in my room in the evening I told my friend Bella that it doesn't look that bad. I was in lots of pain but I just turned it down and thought it'll get better in the morning. Well, when I woke up the pain was even worse and I took a look at my shoulders and it had blistered. It hurt so much, I couldn't think clearly anymore. I endured the day anyway and when I came home I just lay down and basically died, at least that's what if felt like. I'm pretty sure that you do not want to read about the following weeks in detail therefore I'll just summarise it briefly. Over the next few weeks I found out that I had second degree burns and got an ointment against minor burns on the skin. Although it's basically healed by now you can still see the outlines of the burns on my shoulders, my arms and my collarbone. Five months later. Seriously guys, the New Zealand sun burns the heck out of you, please DO NOT risk it! Constant sun burn on your skin can lead to skin cancer and I can tell you guys, skin cancer is no fun. Here, just being out in the sun without any sort of protection against it, you can burn within 8-10min. So I'll tell you again, don't risk your life if you have the chance to prevent it just by putting on sun screen for about 5min.
Think about it, do you want 5 months of pain or do you prefer 5min in order to protect yourself from any harm of that kind?
Soooo, I hope you've learnt from my mistake and always put sunscreen on even if you think you don't need it. Here I've got a link that you might be interested in: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10832000

Because I have to keep up with the tradition, here's another photo of my bae

Yeah, that was my amazing story about sun burn hahaha.

I'm going to bed now, see you guys lata

A Day In The Life

Today was a really interesting day. I was really unmotivated to go to school actually because I went to bed quite late yesterday and I was accordingly rather grumpy when I had to get up so early although school started later today. Well, I made my way out of bed anyways (after a certain amount of time on my phone hahah) and listened to some Beatles music which made me happy. At school I didn't have anything to do, therefore I decided to read my book, The Infinite Sea. The book is actually really cool although I hate the character who's point of view it is right now (for all of you knowing or having read the book, it's Ringer, i hate her ^^). I got distracted by YouTube where I found an astonishing video of Kyle Landry playing the main theme from the movie Howl's Moving Castle, Merry Go Round (click here and you'll see yourself how freaking amazing it is). OK, then I had English, boring as hell as always and afterwards I had morning tea which changed my entire day and the rest of my stay here completely. I was sitting in the hallway in front of my classics classroom with my friend (I will not write her real name but give her a name anyway just that it's easier to remember and understand) Alice and then my favourite teacher (he's actually quite good looking too) came towards us and I recall thinking he's just making his way through the hallway. He started talking to me about the upcoming musical 'Hairspray' and if I didn't wanna participate as the third keyboard player because they still need one and my playing and sight reading is apparently quite good and I would be a good choice for that 'role'. Furthermore he told me that it's gonna be a hell lot of work and heaps of practising. I should just go to my music teacher in music and he's gonna give me the sheetmusic and everything . I then had Classics and my group and I had to make a short film about a certain pot where the God Dionysus, disguised as a human, gets captured by pirates and frees himself turning into a lion. In the end the pirates transform into dolphins due to Dionysus power as a God. My friend Alice and I were pirates and my friend Bob was playing Dionysus, the lion and God. There was a scene where the pirates were running away from the lion and Bob had a scarf around his head and was walking on all four towards us, omg, that was so hilarious. During filming all that stuff, I realized that I actually didn't even care what it looks like while I'm 'acting', I just do my best and I don't care what other people say or think about my performing. I'm actually really looking forward to watching the entire movie when it's done hahahahaha. After that while I was playing the theme from Howl's Moving Castle (I found it online during period 1 hahah) the piano teacher who was in the room next to mine came up to me and said that she suggested me as the keyboard player because she's heard me playing every day and she thinks that I'm a rather good player and I would be a good choice for the musical. I did not see that coming at all. I was flabbergasted (I love that word :3). Being at home after school the only thing I did was... Well... Watching cat videos on YouTube and I couldn't stop for an hour hahaha. I love cats so much, they're awesome and wayyyy better than dogs. Now I am watching Game of Thrones, season 2, episode 7 again and I am texting my parents because I am really pissed off at ISIS because they caused two explosion at the airport in Brussels. Can these idiots just stop hurting and threatening people? We've already got Donald Trump, we don't need another threat to humanity. OK, my rant is over and I'll finish this post now but not without another picture of my precious *-*

I'm gonna take a shower now, bye guys
