My beloved swatch. They make them in so many colours it was hard to choose. If I were rich, I'd get more colours to wear them according to my mood. February in photos

Yes honestly, somebody please bring the sun. I didn't see it at all today. Might have something to do with the fact that I was holed up in our conference room all day. As I will be tomorrow. Sigh. February in photos

My hand on my commute to work. Snuggled in my gloves. It's still cold. Very cold. Not supposed to get warmer anytime soon. Sigh. But at least it was sunny yesterday. All day! Oh the excitement!

I usually don't read a lot of non-fiction, but every once in awhile I like to pick up a book about something I love, like tea. Now I am reading up on how we came to love tea. This book is centred around the British and how they established their tea and opium empires and their treatment of China and India. I would love to read something similar for Germany, but I'm sure most of the trading,

This morning's view from my kitchen. It was cold cold cold. Still is. Need to get my proper winter coat out in order not to freeze on my way to work. I saw a guy in just a sweater at the bus stop this morning. English people, you are crazy! February in photos

I don't think I have ever done a meme on this blog. But this one I really liked because it's all about photos and I wanted to start taking more pictures for my blog and blog more often. A perfect combination. Now, February is not good timing because I am crazy busy at work, but I will try to blog everyday nontheless. This idea is totally not mine. I stole it from here.

Sunday did not end well. No Top Gear (apparently next Sunday means not the next one coming up, but the one belonging to next week and not this week, I will forever get that wrong). So I consoled myself that at least I will get to watch Birdsong, which I had heard so many great things about. What a disappointment that turned out to be. Boring. I didn't believe the characters were in love for one

The mouse is gone. Bf was so nice to get rid off it early in the morning before I had to see it. About five minutes after we went to bed on Thursday I could hear a loud noise from the kitchen. But I didn't want to check. Bf apparently hadn't heard it and the next morning was startled when he almost stepped on to the poor mouse. But he manned up and tossed it in the garbage and actually brought

January Blues. I think we all get it. After the holidays going back to work just seems so hard. All the Christmas decorations are coming down (I find that very depressing, after all the excitement of putting and having them up the office just looks so bleak) and the weather is cold and all I want to do is hide at home with a good book. The first week back at work was just horrible. I mean work

HURRAY! We booked our flights to Tokyo! I am ecstatic, totally cannot wait to go and wish we would already be leaving next week. Yay! This trip is going to be amazing. We are planning to stay in Tokyo for a few days and then move on to Osaka, do some day trips to Kobe and Nara, head over to Kyoto for a couple of days and then back to Tokyo for another couple of nights before we have to fly

I had a lot of fun making resolutions last year and revisiting them this year. So of course I will be doing the same this year. There is not anything big on the list. I think for me it's more about finding a schedule that works for me and balance out different parts of my life. This year there is no publishing/ work related goal on here. I think for this year I am just planning to stay in my

(I wanted to post this a couple of days ago, but for some reason I couldn't upload the video. So now I created my own youtube channel just to share this with you. Sorry, took me a bit to figure out how to work it.) I spent New Year's Eve at home drinking mojitos and baileys. Good stuff. I tried to find a decent TV show looking at the highlights of 2011, but to my disappointment I couldn't find

The last few days have been quite uneventful. We met up with the bf's dad and stepmom a few times. Usually to eat. They didn't really want to visit any tourist things (lots of them were closed anyway). So instead we had a lot of good food. Not complaining there. Time at home I mainly spend reading and watching movies. Great and relaxing. So today it's the last day of the year and I think

I know I said that I would probably not get into the whole Christmas spirit this year, but to my own surprise, I was wrong. I met up with a friend of mine at Borough market on the 23rd. I wanted to buy some nice sweets for Christmas Eve. I had planned to make our own Christmas Tea. Boy, the selection was amazing and I had a hard time choosing, but in the end I think I did get some nice pieces.

This week I had my last day of work before the new year. What I didn't expect, but what I thought was really lovely, was my boss giving all of us home-made truffles. They were soooo delicious! My company also had a little 'Christmas market', where they sold of some books, cakes and other stuff for charity. I couldn't stop myself from buying two whoopie pies. And they had red sparkle on top of

You know those things you read about in the newspapers so you know they are real, but they feel really distant because they only ever happen to other people. And usually people you don't know. There can be really cool things like winning the lottery (and I don't mean winning a fiver, I mean winning BIG). Winning the lottery is a great concept. I never buy tickets, because I don't know anyone who

When I was in Germany this year I picked up these niffty postard advent calendars. Of course I didn't post them to anyone but brought them home. The top one is mine and the bottom one is for the bf. The colours look a little bleached out in these pictures. They are much stronger. I love them both though. I like the classical colours and image in the first. And I like the warmness of the

Yesterday, 6 December, was Nikolaus. I am not sure how many countries actually celebrate Nikolaus, but in Germany when we were kids it was a big deal. I almost liked it more than Christmas. The night before we would bake these breadmen (Stutenkerle) and would be allowed to decorate them ourselves. We could even choose what to make (boy or girl). Then we would put out special plates (some

This Saturday I decided that I wanted to go see the German Christmas market at the South Bank. We left the house early and since the weather was nice decided to walk all the way there. We stopped at a little café for some breakfast and then headed towards the London Eye. We stopped by St. Pancras where they had a huge Christmas tree made entirely out of Lego!

I wanted to do a real post, but instead I got to play around with the background and colours. I wanted to give it a more winter/Christmas feel. I don't feel like winter at all yet. Mainly because it's not really cold. The last few weeks it has been really mild. I think it might get a bit colder this week. Let's hope so. I really want to get into the right mood before Christmas hits. Anyway,

So everything in our flat got fixed but the roof issue. Thankfully it's not raining that much at the moment so it only leaked once more. Apparently today people will be climbing up the roof today with fancy new electronic equipment to find the leak. Uhm, ok whatever they say. Just fixed the damn leak. Honestly, I don't see how this has priority. It's raining into your building. The ceiling has

Argh, I am so annoyed at the moment (and freezing cold, why? later). Yesterday I got into work late because I had the plumber and construction people come into our flat to fix things. The central heating didn't work, water leaked through the ceiling in the bathroom and the cold water pipe in the shower was leaking. Plus our chain at the front door is broken and should have been fixed weeks ago,

So I am back from Germany. I had a great time. On the weekends I was at my sister's place in Hamburg. And I met my nephews. They are both adorable! Though very different. One of them is pretty big, has red/blonde hair. You can hardly see his eyebrows and lashes. But his head is so big! The other one is tiny. Had full black hair and long eyelashes. His face and everything is really tiny. Both of

A couple of weekends ago I went to Kew Gardens with a friend. I had been planning to go since I moved over to London three years ago. But somehow it never happened. But now finally I made it on a glorious autumn day. Enjoy the photos:  The Pagoda was very fascinating. I took many pictures of it.  They had a little forest of redwood trees. They were huge, but apparently they

We are in our new flat! And the internet/phone/TV situation is sorted. Was actually very quick and efficient. I am mighty impressed. I managed to take some pictures. They are not the greatest quality, but here it goes: Our kitchen. I tried not to take a picture of the counters because they are still packed with stuff. Our bathroom. It's an actual room! Bedroom.

I forgot whether I mentioned that I will be going home in November in order to see my new nephews. I booked this flight a couple of months ago and placed it safely more than two weeks after the due dates (which were only two days apart) so I would not miss one of the babies. This is one for my sister one for my brother. My sister in law had her little boy two days ago. All went well, he came

I am free!!! Or so I thought when I handed in my thesis at the end of September. I spent most of September, especially my precious weekends, polishing the thesis of (well writing it) and handed it in on the 30th. I took the day off work because the uni office opening hours didn't allow me to pop in before and after. So I spent my day picking up the thesis from the printer, together with another

This last weekend was another weekend of diss work and culture. The Saturday was spent holed up in the British Library working hard. I am getting ever closer to the finish line. Hurray! The Sunday in contrast was spent at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. My bf had got some tickets for an all day event. Before we hit that we went out for brunch. We went into a hotel because we wanted to

Saturday I basically spend sleeping. God, I am really not used to staying up late anymore. I got to bed at 4am and only slept till about 8.30am. We went to Angel for lunch (burritos, nom nom nom) and looked around at some of the estate agent. With bf having his visa sorted it is now time to find a new place to live. Yay! Finally, we are going to move out of our studio apartment and will look for

This weekend was a Bank Holiday weekend in the UK. I love long weekends. It started great on Friday, which was the last day I was allowed to take summer hours and left work at 1pm. I went home, hung out a bit and had a nice lunch with my bf who had taken the day off work. He had spend the morning at the immigration office and got a new visa. He is now allowed to stay and work in the UK

Work has been stressful the last few weeks. It seems like everyone is on holiday. Not only does it make it hard in asking questions and getting answers. I also need to check other people's inboxes and decide which queries are important and need to be dealt with and which ones to ignore. Ah well, only a couple more weeks and everyone is back from holiday. Cannot wait for probation to be over.

Felt like shit all day yesterday. I had a headache, the dissertation was not coming along as planned, the weather outside was bad, but really humid. All I wanted to do was just cry and sleep. Which I mainly did. I managed to leave the house for about an hour to get some groceries and bf got his passport pictures done for the visa. I thought it would do me good to get out of the house and get some

These are some of the pictures I managed to take in the gardens of the hall. They were amazing. Unfortunately, the only time I had time to sneak away to take them, it was raining.So they are all a bit grey. Hope you enjoy them anyway. I love tree walks!  What might be at the end?  Peeking out the side...   I really have no idea what most of those flowers are. But they were all so

A few weeks back I had to go to Cambridge for a couple of days. My whole department from work went to a conference. It was just outside of Cambridge in the most beautiful halls I have ever been to. This is the view out of my bedroom. View of the main building from my bedroom.  My little tiny bed, in my little tiny room. It was student accommodation after all. But I loved it. It was even an

I finally managed to get off my ass and start my dissertation. Which now means that I work full-time during the week and spend about 6-8 hours each day on the weekend working on my dissertation. I did this for three weeks now and it's making me tired. Staring at computer screens every day is so exhausting!It's only till the end of September, so I shouldn't whine too much and just deal. But I

My work send me home early today because of the riots. It feels very surreal to be honest. The area I work in was not affected directly. However, one of our London offices was close to a riot centre and the police advised businesses to let everyone go home early before the violence could spread. So they send us home as well. The area I live in was not affected. It is a very residential area with

A few weekends back I went to Hyper Japan 2011 here in London. I had won a ticket from Haikugirl for the Saturday. Originally I planned to go with a friend but he ended up not having time, so I went by myself. It was a great experience. I wandered around on two floors. Being by myself meant I had plenty of time to linger as long as I liked at every stall. I think I was there for almost 4 hours. I

A couple of weeks ago my sister came to visit me with her husband and my 10 year old nephew. Unfortunately I had to work for most of her stay. But the weekend she was here we managed to hang out a lot. The first day we headed out to Borough Market. I had never been, but really enjoyed it. It's basically a fresh food market. Though they have some amazing food there. You can get oysters, German

One of my favourite activities to do in London/Britain is the afternoon tea. I'm not doing it often, so whenever I go out for tea it is a rather special event. Look at all those treats!! The cupcakes where amazing. One was vanilla base with raspberry cream, the other was chocolate base with peanut butter cream and caramel sauce. Both were fantastic! The squares you can see on the top left were

Couple of weeks ago my bf finished an incredibly busy period at work. He remembers the exact time he handed in the project papers: 11.27am. It was on a Friday and he basically ran from the office that second to go drinking. I met up with him later in the day and we had some celebratory drinks. His workmates came out as well and we had a lovely evening. I actually managed to take some pictures

I meant to post these much earlier. This are some photos from the Brighton Japan Festival. I went there almost a month ago. I didn't spend a lot of time there. Just enough to buy some mochi and enjoy the atmosphere. Brighton Pier  that burnt down a couple of years ago.   The mochi were delicious! Especially the one with the strawberry in it. Should have bought more. Maybe next time. Sorry for

I won something! First time in forever! Ok, it was also the first time in forever that I tried to win something. But that's not the point. Haikugirl's Japan had her first give-away last week and I ended up winning. So a big thanks to her. She posted the ticket to me and I am eagerly awaiting it. Makes it even more fun to come home from work every night ;-) I am super excited that I won a

Finally managed to pull the photos of my camera from my visit to the Houses of Parliament. I met up with a good friend a couple of weeks ago. Through her I got 'access' to the Houses and her husband was so nice to give me a tour. It's a really amazing place. Once I got the pictures on my computer I noticed that most of them are a bit shaky. I'm just rubbish at taking photos with my phone. Just

Couple of weeks ago bf and I ended up at Ping Pong. It's a chain of Chinese Dim Sum restaurants. I really like them. I think their decor is really tasteful and I love their dishes. Besides the dishes, they have a really nice selection of drinks. Flowering tea: I can't get over this one. It's just too beautiful. Almost a shame to drink it. I think you get free top-ups, but then the taste fades.

I'm very proud of myself as I managed to leave the house this weekend and do something useful. Well, maybe not useful but I went to a museum and enjoyed it! I went to the Museum of London with a friend. Both of us had been complaining how we live in a great city but never actually go see any of its attractions or make use of any of the cultural activities happening every day. So this weekend we

This year's E3 just ended and I spend some time catching up on the most important (to me) games and hardware that was announced. It totally put me in the mood to replay one of my favourite games. Secret of Mana. I do not have an iphone/pad, so I could not play the newer, prettier version. But the old one was just as I remembered. Very nostalgic, loved it! It's too bad that once you play through

Randomly saw this in the street.   Overall last week was quiet at work. My boss is on holiday so I did not have that much to do. She'll be back in two weeks and I'm hoping that I will be given more responsibilities then. But till then I take it easy. Met up with a friend from Germany on Monday. Was really nice to catch up.

Technically spring is almost over. My favourite blooming time has passed as well. But I managed to take a couple of shots of the blue trees/bushes again. I love them. There should be more flowers blooming blue. In the area I live in there are tons of those plants. Mixed in with some dark red flowers. Pretty!!!

So I decided that the working life is pretty good. Have been spending the weekend hanging out with a friend, drinking lots of coffee and eating cake. Technically I haven't been paid yet, but I already like spending the money. Figured I treat myself this month and from the next one I will see how to wisely spend my money.

Tons has happened in the last 6 weeks. Since I am a bit lazy I will be doing a quick update in bullet points: The packager took it's time and I had to go back for a second interview (for an unpaid work placement) in May. But that went well and I was supposed to start last Friday (reason why I did not start see below). Uni was crazy. The first two weeks in May I had all my final presentations and

Since yesterday it's officially springtime! Feel like I have to drag out my summer clothes and soak up every ray of sun I can. I think it's supposed to stay sunny on the weekend, but one never knows. In celebration of this good weather I am skipping a video editing tutorial at school (I would like to learn it, but just too exhausted from rushing through my sales assignment, which is due today.

Today, on this glorious sunny day, it's back to school for me. Or more precisely, back to school at 9.30, then running out of the lesson heading over to an interview with a packager for a Friday placement. And then potentially back to class, depending on when I get out. I'm a moron. I feel totally and completely exhausted. I survived last weeks placement fine, but then basically slept all of

Apologies in advance. I will be talking about a placement again. Sad but true, not much else going on in my life right now. So if you are really not interested in what I'm doing at a publisher, feel free to skip this post completely. For everyone else, this last week I was at an academic publisher out in Basingstoke.

I finished my last week at Simon and Schuster on Friday. To be honest I did not want to leave. I wanted them to scream 'Don't go, we'll hire you!'. Of course that didn't happen. Not that the people I worked with wouldn't want to do it. But I guess they don't really have any say in who gets hired anyway. But I left in good spirits. Everyone had something nice and encouraging to say. I left my

Earthquake, tsunami and now a volcano eruption. Japan just doesn't seem to be able to catch a break. I don't think I need to repeat any of the news or pictures here. I know I don't know anyone in Japan nor have I ever set foot on any of its islands. But nonetheless all the pictures reaching us make me sick.

Last weekend we made it out of the house and went to the Southbank. I forgot to post about it but I have picture proof!  The sushi place had a fish tank right next to our table. Fresh sushi anyone?  Edamame beans with chilli sauce.  More fish. They were too cute. Southbank. And some nice beer in the evening.

So I started my work placement on Monday. The week went by in a whirlwind. I'm interning in the sales team and had to collect a ton of sales kits. I also filed, and printed and threw out old jackets and information (that one made me a bit nervous as I threw out more than 10 big garbage bags of stuff). I also helped out the publicity team by translating a document for them. Weren't they lucky they

I kinda felt bored taking the bus from university to my Japanese class and then from class back home. So I amused myself by taking pictures out of the windows. Not the best idea at night. Most of them are horrible, but some turned out ok. Sharing with you random pictures taking of Central London: King's Cross Underground entrance. Scala bar/concert venue. Random itsu I sometimes eat dinner at

So bf wanted a shave this weekend. In this household it is my job to shave his head every one or two months. For some reason he trusts me not to cut him up. Which is harder than it sounds. He has an itchy scalp and scratches himself bloody. So there are a lot of old wounds that are just waiting to be cut open again by me. So far I've done well. But cutting his hair reminded me that I had some dye

On Friday after work I headed into the City for a couple of drinks (maybe a couple more). Met up with some of bf's friends. We were in a newly opened pub and there was nobody there. Maybe two other tables were taken, but otherwise it was empty. I kinda liked it because I had just changed trains at London Bridge and been run over by a big guy and really didn't feel like getting squashed by more

I am back full swing with uni life. Can't believe that already three weeks have passed. After another two weeks I will go on placements full-time. Can't wait for that! I didn't get the placement that I originally wanted with a packager in their production department. They just wouldn't make up their mind whether they wanted someone for five weeks, which is the required length of my placement. So

Yesterday I made the big mistake of walking into paperchase after class. I love the stuff they have. Spend about 20 minutes debating over whether I should by a notepad or not (decided not, since I still have three at home, but oh it was sooo cute). And then I found a new section in the back of the store. They are basically selling sheets of wrapping paper. But some of it is really ... different.

So the last term went out with a bang. Exams, food, drinking and one day of leisure. And now this. Been back in classes since last Monday and no time to breathe. All the projects for the semester got dumped on us, I had my placement on Friday and the weekend was spend like this: That's right. Sitting at my bf's office (because it's nice and quiet and has free coffee) studying! I read through

I survived the exams. Ok, there were only two, but on consecutive days. I hate that, usually bad at studying for two things at the same time. I prefer to keep it separate. But it's over now! The last one was on Friday and I got out of it just after four. Went directly to the nearest pub with most of my classmates and had some nice drinks. Unfortunately most of the others then wanted to go home

I'm going to challenge myself to read 50 books this year. Thanks to studying I might actually make it without that much effort. If you are interested I made a page for this.So far I have read this year: Underground Haruki MurakamiPublishing Law Hugh Jones & Christopher Benson I thought Underground was a little bit depressing. But then what can you expect from a book consisting of interviews with

New Year's Eve was pretty unspectacular. Bf had to work (I fortunately didn't have to go to my placement) but came home quite early, around 3. So I headed out to grab some food. I also wanted to get out because I was getting cabin fever. Had been sitting at home for the last three days waiting for a delivery that never arrived. Still hasn't. Bf wanted mashed potatoes and sausages for dinner. Not

I usually don't do New Year's Resolutions. But I figured I will make an exception this year as I really like the idea of setting some goals and achieving those. Not talking about big things here, just small ones to make sure life doesn't just pass one by. I will put them on their own page and try to update how I'm doing. This is not a hugely exciting list, but I'm trying to take baby steps! Drop

We made it back in one piece. Our flight took off early in Bremen and we landed in foggy London way before schedule. We had left Stansted airport just about an hour after take off. Sweet! Christmas time at my parents' place was fun. Unfortunately because of our delay I didn't have as much time to visit people as I would have liked. I was planning to make cookies, a wreath, do some shopping, meet

We made it to my parents in one piece. And the flight was even on time. Ok, so it wasn't on time, but only half an hour late. That is on time in my book.Bf doesn't feel so good. I have to remind him to drink his water and he sleeps most of the day. Dragged him to the doctor this morning and pumping him up with medicine now. Hopefully he will feel fine tomorrow with all those meds kicking in.

Yep, snow is still there. Still beautiful. This is how a clear morning looks out of our apartment. Here's to hope that my flight home will leave on Wednesday...

Yes, I'm bored. Ergo the third blogpost in a day. Don't have anything to do. I'm not used to that any more. So let me share with you an amazing beverage I'm consuming as I type: Belgian strong beer. Good stuff.

This is the reason my flight got cancelled and I'm stuck in London till at least Wednesday: I like the snow. There is tons of it. Nobody is clearing it away. Especially not on the sidewalks. So it makes this nice crunchy noise when walking. Loving it! As a treat I bought chocolate and mulled wine. Tomorrow I'll make chocolate chip cookies and have the mulled wine. There is some apple pie

Two weeks ago I went to an exhibition of art inspired by Penguin book covers. All pieces had to be the size of a typical penguin paperback, but otherwise the artists could do whatever they wanted. Here are my favourites. Unfortunately I didn't have the galleries catalogue, so I cannot tell you who the individual artists are. 'A fucking novel' How brilliant is that? Had me on the floor in

I survived the first term of teaching. Feels really good to be done with that. This last week a couple of big group projects were due with presentations to company CEOs. That bit was a bit scary but turned out great in the end. I wish I could post here what we did, but since it is group work for uni I don't feel like I should post other people's work. We made up a great logo for our 'company' and

After following around our lovely tour guide through the massive warehouse we headed back to reception to be picked up by the next person. This next tour took us to the printers. CUP is one of the only major publishers in the UK that still has its own printing press. I think that's pretty cool, but they are trying to get rid off it since it is very expensive compared to outsourcing. But the

I had my first 'field trip' on Monday. Most of our class went to Cambridge to see the university press. It was a miserable day, rain and wind and freezing temperatures. We had great fun anyway. Thankfully we spend most of our time indoors. The day started with a little introduction to CUP. Apparently it is the oldest and most respected press in the world (according to their promotion video). Then

Today I'm doing something very unusual. I am blogging, but haven't read any of the blogs I'm usually following for about a week. There are exactly 366 unread posts. A crushing number. So tempted to just press the 'mark all as read' button. But I can't. Still want to read them all. Just don't know when. It's really crazy. Today is Sunday and I feel like I need a weekend. Was doing work for uni all

I survived the first week of classes. It was a blast, but let me tell you now I'm exhausted. There are no classes on Friday but I basically spend most of the day reading and catching up. Yes, catching up on the first week. Also preparing for a presentation. Saturday I decided to have my weekend and didn't do anything for uni. But that meant that today I basically spend all day preparing for next

Today I had my first day of class. It was actually only one module about the publishing business. Most of it was spent getting to know our lecturer. He seems like a nice guy. Talked the whole time but didn't manage to bore me. And he handed out the power point presentation before class. I love that. Makes note-taking so much easier. Today was pretty relaxed because we didn't have to prepare

I don't think I'll be getting away with calling this blog entry Day 15 as I have skipped about three weeks in between. I was doing so well, posted every day for two weeks and then all of a sudden my mojo was gone. Thrown out the window. Now, I know why at first I didn't post. I simply forgot. Bf was supposed to leave for three weeks on Monday so that weekend we spend as much time together as

Had a funny phone call today. Guy on the phone was asking for someone (neither me nor my bf). Told him he got the wrong number. So he was asking whether this number wasn't such&such company. Obviously it wasn't so he hung up. Nothing too strange about that. Now, the weird thing was that the company he asked about is the one my bf works at. I remembered the name the guy asked for and wrote bf an

Sorry to bore you all again with an uneventful day. Went for my run. Had yummy foods and did a shit-load of studying. I do enjoy the studying, but I get a bit bored from being in the house all the time. Today I actually grabbed my camera and shot some pictures out the window. I noticed a cat in our neighbours' garden who kept looking over into my window. I kept thinking it's Muta from 'The cat

Really sad that the long weekend is over. Have no motivation whatsoever. I did all the studying I was supposed to be doing today (which was a lot). But didn't manage to get my ass out the door and go running. Which was a shame as the weather is really lovely. It's sunny and cold. Really cold. But it smells and feels like autumn. I like autumn. Hopefully will get a full blown golden September.

Had a relaxing day today. Went grocery shopping in the morning. Was all nice and sunny though kinda cool. The leaves are starting to turn. Fall is approaching fast over here. When we got back I had a yummy muesli muffin and watched 'My neighbour Totoro'. What a cute movie! I thought the end was a little bit open and sad, but I loved Totoro.
