２０２０年。感覺每一天。過的快又似乎很慢。
每一年我最愛的月份。其中一天也是我的生日。 ❤

今年。我還在。德國。５月和４月和３月，基本上沒什麼不同。世界仍在COVID-19影響下，努力尋找生存之道。依舊還在。禁旅行令。戴口罩。1.5 M安全距離。 ❤

工作半天制，每天時間變的很充裕。可以慢條斯理。做每件事。對此，我每天感恩。
Norwegian Learning。Reading。Cooking。Meditation。Yoga / Pilates / ABS training。
除了工作外，對於其它事，一切，順其自然。沒有計劃，沒有進度。 ❤

終於下定決心，著手佈置家裡的素白牆面，於是，花一下午，檢視上千幅Wandtattoos，找到和自己match 設計圖案及花色。一切的眼花瞭亂都值得了。下一個挑戰則是。是否能憑一己之力，順利讓我家的牆面也變的如此美麗？ ❤

度過了一整個節儉的春天，我做了一件很奢侈的事。我稱它為。預購的生日禮。哈。買了一罐。價值２２５歐元的 The Cream。省去了瓶瓶罐罐。早晚只要這一瓶。才用了2天。我己經看到我閃閃發亮的皮膚在對我說謝謝。目前的唯一擔心。我再也離不開它了。５０ML。只能用一佪月哪。可以預見我會變成讓品牌死忠客戶。像我對OAT-LY Barista一樣忠心。 ❤

我６０平方米的家。不斷加入新成員。每個角落都有綠色盆栽進駐。因此加分很多。感覺植物們在我日照充足的家，加上水分隨時補充，他們開心的生長。我也跟著一起開心。只要好天氣。上午可以對著太陽微笑，一邊練習深蹲，一邊喝著檸檬水醒胃，下午可以跟著太陽落下的步調一起放鬆，捧著咖啡，一邊翻著小說。白天一天天變長，幾乎一整天都在太陽的籠罩下。很正面的慢活著。 ❤

窗外除了一望無際的藍天，大樹們也火速換了上綠衣。到處綠油油。這是我最初愛上德國的顏色。免子在草地上盡情的玩耍翻滾。雖然樓下的鄰居太太們很煩人。看著這些風景。我還是很愛我的家。 ❤

德國手工製口罩。平均一個１２歐。但是。做工細緻以及品質深德我心。我訂購了１０組純棉布口罩。哈。這可是一超長期抗戰啊～ 😀  十組不同的花色，可以一起熱洗，一起熨燙。每趟出門小亮點之一。就像每天起床的鬧鈴變更設定為不同風格的音樂。平凡的每一天加入這些小確幸，帶來了大能量讓每一天變的很不一樣。 ❤

Thanks Coronavirus. I learned this vocabulary for the first time. Also I believe that is the only way that we all could survive out of this global chaos. ❤

This year 2020 has already gave me a lot lessons from the first day.

Here is the Lesson one. NEVER TAKE YOUR HEALTH  FOR GRANTED.

At that time I was very ill and lost my sense of taste when I spent my holidays in TW with my family. It is a complicated feeling, finally you were HOME! All you loved one and everything you have missed so much are all together. My voice sounded funny due to too much coughs. I was tired but with a great appetite. The whole family,  friends and relatives took me to all places that I loved so much. I really do appreciate that,  unfortunatly I just could not taste how delicious they are used to be.  I have tried all of them, but the only taste I got is something like WATER. Then you can only trace it back in your brain to figure out how was the taste before?

Lesson Two. LOVE YOURSELF AND PUT YOURSELF TO BE THE TOP PRIORITY.

The third breakup of my life. It happened in 2019. Although it was expected to happen more earlier than that. But I pushed myself to move on over him in 2020. Every relationship has its own problem to be solved if both sides are still willing to make efforts. However,  if someone has done the favour to walk away, we must be smart enough to let go, be strong enough to move on and be patient enough to wait for what we deserve.

Nevertheless, still I wanna thank him for being there to walk through life filled with highs and lows with me which made me a better person and thank him for leaving me, because it saved my life indeed. It gave me a new chance to find someone else who will choose me over everything and everyone else. And thank him that I finally think about me and have the space and time to fulfill the stuff I have dreamed about for long. ❤

Lesson Three. BE WELL PREPARED FOR THE UNEXPECTED.

This invisible virus COVID-19 has paralyzed the whole world as sudden as lightning. Like a film, so unreal but unfortunately it is the REAL WORLD. And it is still ONGOING. It has nothing to do with your wealth and fame. We as humans are so vulunerable as proved again as we do owe our earth peace and purity over years.

The first time in my life to experience even travel from place A to place B becomes impossible as the border of each country is no more free to entry. That is a absolute torture for someone like me to be stuck in ONE place.

My working time has been reduced to 50% which might be going down to 0%. Yes, we have therefore more time and less money. Seems quite fair. I hate to say but it is foreseeable that this will be the beginning of a severe Domino Effect.

It is also the first time I realized „saving“ is a good virtue and the importance of the „emergency fund“.  I dont need luxury brands and spacy appartment to decorate my life, but a place to stay and enough food to buy is essential for keeping on the fight til the end. This is well known Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. Remember that powerful song „What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger“ ? So what choice we’ve got?. Kopf hoch .. Hang in there! ❤

Lesson Four. BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE HAVE.

Everyday counts! 🙂 yes, it is from TITANIC. We should apply it into our daily life. After so many unexpected events happened, I figured out who around me deserve my attentions and my cares and my time! I used to call my mom once a week, now it become a daily routine. Or those old frineds that suddenly come back to me after they saw the worse situation in europe and worried about me and some even sent parcels with the masks and desinfection stuff and the TWs Food I loved.  At the same time, some of them chose to ignore and faded away. Keep it in mind : WE HAVE NO TIME TO BATTLE EGOS AND SMALL MINDS.

My life isnt perfect but I am thankful for everything that has led me to this moment and the loved ones I have still stay healthy and live happily. ❤

Lesson Five. BE UNIQUE & BE IRREPLACEABLE & BE HUMBLE.

More and more of us get used to the idea of working alongside AI-powered tools and in the meantimes, we start to worry about that our works might be replaced by robots soon.

What we didnt expect is this pandemic detroys not only individual healthy system but also global economy in recession on coronavirus devastation already. The unemployment rate of each country soars sharply in the last few days. Due to the sudden lockdown a large amout of people had lost their day jobs. Although working from home and connected via internet seems to be a temporary solution for most companies and the individuals. No matter what kind of job you have, which will be affected sooner or later. It is cruel but true.

On the days like these we have to isolate ourselve at home which is exactly the TIME to consider about where our next chance is and how we can create a better & carefree future.

No time for self pity and to veiw the boring quarantine details posted on Facebook, or do oline-chatting or on-gaming for killing the time. Why dont you pick up a book that you bought long time ago and read it through in peace? why dont you give yourself a chance to try something new..? Why dont you register one of those million online courses to widen your horizons?  It must not be a reaonable thing, but it should be something that makes you happy. You only get one life and it is your duty to live it as FULLY as POSSIBLE. Even we could not see the difference at the moment, all efforts will be paid off one day and the road to unknown (shining & dizzying) future will be expanded with unexpected surprises as well. ❤

Last but not least,  for all that is uncertain, let’s still choose HOPE and HAPPINESS.

I do appreciate I had a wonderful weekend and after a busy Monday, another holiday just arrived on time! No excuse not to invest another post on my BLOG. 🙂

Still very much miss that brunch at my favourite Café last sunny Saturday !
A wonderful combination of Egg, Avocado, tomato, and fresh cheese! My favourite food!

LECKERER geht’s nicht! Oder? 🙂

Another exciting highlight is I got new stuff for my summer collection (direct after pay day  :P)! It’s really funny to see other women having the same good feeling as mine when we were busy for trying on new summer fashion with smile. Even it’s still not warm enough to wear them right now, we are all ready! HERR SOMMER! 🙂 Don’t be shy.

Watched Helene Fischer’s Live Concert on ZDF! Mein Gott! A fantasic performance! RESPEKT! It’s been always a pleasure to see how people work hard and do their job perfectly. And what impressed me the most is her humble and grateful attitude, no matter how successful she is,..She deserves this world-wide fame if I’m allowed to say it!

Started watercolor painting (for training my patience and calmness) and practiced first with Johanna Basford‘s coloring book – Enchanted forest with Faber-Castell watercolor coloured pencils and then mixing it with water. I have to say, I do love colorful things!

Fresh peppermint tea is my favourite drink. To get them fresh, either you plant it or buy them on the market. Add one slice of Lemon or ginger. I’m in heaven! 🙂

Finally I cooked again, haha…I admit that I have been lazy for quite a while. But when I miss home dishes, nothing tastes better than self-cooking. Especially it’s asparagus and Bärlauch season again! They are more attractive to me than steak. 🙂

Found some old Pictures which remind me how much I deeply fell in love in Germany… As I reviewed them , ya, I realized that love is still there. During these years I forgot how deep it was as I was distracted by those unnecessary worries and boring routines. What a waste!

Any way, such useless and hopeless ICH won’t be allowed to be on the stage again. I swear and I mean it!

It’s never too late to be a woman who makes good use of everyday and who is happy and grateful for every little happiness in hand and who is well-prepared to pay the highest attention to inner and outer beauty at the same time. 🙂

Last Sunday got an eye inflammation. Obviously my plan for the day was in vain : Tidy-up, reading, new DVD borrowed from the library. The only thing I could do was lying on the sofa and put hot pack on my eye.

Suddenly I realized something!  J It is a signal sent from my body or somewhere in me to remind me “slow-down”. Since I made my mind to change my hectic day as I was (am?) used to do things as fast as I could unconsciously. How nice to get the chance to stop myself doing thing under pressure! This kind of protest is the effective way to allow myself a rest IN NO TIME. 🙂

The importance of Health is above all. Without it, everything is nothing.

Forgot to mention my To-Do list for 2018 in a SLOW WAY for sure.  😉

1. Travel with passion and curiosity when possible
2. Smile more often Even if not in the mood
3. Work hard and be loyal to my job
4. Be thankful always and be a good Listener to my heart
5. Never stop learning
6. Be kind and be honest to all and myself
7. Stay humble and stay hungry
8. Love and be loved in return

Keep going! 🙂

and those who do not travel read only one page…

Someone wise said it and I can’t agree more. Since 2018 started .. Visiting different places keeps me busy on weekends or the rest time of working days.

It does snow a lot even it’s SPRING! Therefore, as long as it’s SUNNY, no time for staying in bed!! No reason for not going out.. 😎 Ja ! ! Wohin denn?

It was a lovely weekend. a bit freezing around zero but at least sun worked enthusiastically  for companying all. I joined the city tour as it was a spontaneous visit that I had no clue about this city.  For me it is not easy to understand all the sad histories  that always give me headache. I’ve never been a qulified tourist, all I aim for is spending time doing something different with ease and without stress instead of being disrupted by routine . Who wanna re-awake those dark memories of old times? I prefer seeing how people stay strong together and rebuild it afterwards. This city has a lot to show. Being a Koblenzer and having a nice brunch on weekend morning is a pleasure. I sat in a tiny cafe house in old town and observed other locals enjoying their cozy time with family. Fully joy and relaxed.

During the Easter break, as a weather warning for the North DE with heavy SNOW,  I visited Königssee in Bayern instead. Even I took the plane to Munich first, such a long way to get there but still worth a visit. Definately highly recommended! Was impressed by that crystal clean water and the top of Berchtesgaden Alps covered in white and hided behide the fog that reminded me I fell in love with DE at the first sight 15 years ago in the similiar scenerio!!! I nearly forgot that touching feeling, nearly forgot how much effort I devoted myself just for staying in here ….

Challenges and difficulties might come up when visiting a new place.  Even thousands of people have visited and commented, I insist to experience each place with my own pace. It DOES NOT matter how fast or slow you are. The happiness is never a destination but a collection of the way of journey, the people you met on the way, the local food that appetized you, the memories you chose to keep in heart….

It’s nearly end of March of 2018! I can’t believe it!😯

I do remember I paid for keeping my blog Registration! But how come i have missed Posting more than 1 year?! Till recently I got some followers again who like my old Posts (Danke sehr!) And remind me that I should keep my word to make good use of my days!😅

I was off in January. Yes. In German, it’s called „Auszeit“! A long vacation for a recover or a slow down. I was very exhausted spiritually, mentally and physically. Thats why i spent the whole month in Algarve and did nothing except dated with sun everyday. It’s really a max. wonderful Feeling to be around by sea and sun with 18 degrees in Winter! I got bad sick and coughs , however, as long as I was close to the Sea, all pains diseappeared! I’m so lucky and very much thankful to be healed by nature !

I used to be a Superwoman. The way i work, read, talk,eat…… My daily life is just like a fast Forward Tape. No wonder It reached a deadlock in the end. And, all my own fault! 😨 Luckily i got this month to save my soul back! Surely Health takes more time, still working on it as my daily To-Do. Anyway, One of the best times in my life. I do appreciate that my boss allowed it. And l very much miss Algarve .

Other days are occupied by works and Projects as usual. The only difference comparing to before is i have learned how to say NO when needed and never over do myself again!😎

During the time, i keep a Journal to write down any ideas or plans. Kind of miss this old Fashion and it does save both time and memory! Haha… I look forward to my coming 2018..!!!😘😍😄

I lost someone again. My uncle at his age 76, the oldest brother of my father. He was the nicest relative to us of the whole family. He was so kind and so generous to us all the time. I don’t really feel like writing something sad. Just .. I thought, I tried to remember and to keep him a space in my brain from this moment.

Thank you, Dear big uncle if you could still hear. You left us for accompanying grandma and grandpa in the heaven we appreciated for that no matter how unwilling we let you go.

Another sad thing is my hope for Davos failed. My dream is still I want working where other people go on vacation. But I know exactly that I am not qualified for that position I applied for at my age and my experiences. I still wanna give it a try, without this chance as a motive I would never ever step out  even though I so much wanna change my life. The truth is we cant plan anything or maybe we dont always need a plan. Sometimes all we need is to calm down , to  breath, to trust, to let go, to wait and see what happens. I do hope it is not a period for Davos but a question mark for this time frame with unlimited possibilities.

Tonight I am alone and feel down actually. I bought new stuff and the food which are the ways I used to bring myself some comfort. This time doesnt work unfortunately. Although it’s a good thing in a way, I could totally enjoy my holidays there without worrying anything about works. My lungs and brain could have 100%  carefree time for a recover. That counts definately and they deserve it absolutely.

Day changed. World changed. Determined and regreted afterwards. Obtained and lost in the end somehow. That’s called life.

To be honest, my first thinking is STRESS but it’s too heavy to be a title! Luckily with adding FREE and it become much more lighter! Yay, after a stressful week I did enjoy a stressfree week-end. I do need a break. I have no idea how come last week was over so dramatically. Sadness and happiness crossed every day which was like sitting on the roller coaster and made me feel nothing but dizzy. A lot of confusing thinkings were processed in my brain nonstop. So I need urgently Vitamin SEA.

No matter what happened. Day goes on. Work needs to be done. What we can do better is showing the ones we care the most how much we do love them everyday and how much we appreciate that they are always there when we need them.

Mallorca…is getting  closer and closer !  🙂

Manchmal muss man erst durch die Hölle gehen, um auf den Wolken tanzen zu können.
