X'mas comes lately

My whole brain is in shut down mode..

*system is shutting down*.. beep beeep ..flicker

I do not feel like working or solving the world's problem - I just need a break!!!!

So I am leaving for London early X'mas eve. Planning to do some shopping and lots of eating and will be back by 1st of Jan. With some pictures perhaps...

What do I want:

1. Canon EOS 500D Digital SLR Camera top toppp tooppp want *drool*
2. A dual time watch
3. Trench coat

So lets see what I come back with.. hehehehe probably everything but just not what is in the list! Strangely there isn't anything that I must have.. mm... plenty of things I want but I don't really need them.. well... we will see...

Here's some pictures of my latest trip to a Xmas market in an old castle nearby..

So in case I do not blog tomorrow.... Happy Holidays!!!

An Old Irish Blessing

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

what a man wants

Since the beginning of rational thoughts, men has been asking- what does a women want?

What a man wants for instance as always been simplified. Sex, food, sport and the money and power to get the first 3.

Perhaps in simpler times, but honestly I think what men wants is far more complex than women give them credit for. Women generally wants two things: Love and Support. Someone to love them, as unconditionally as possible and someone to support and spoil them- emotionally if they have the cash themselves and financially whenever possible. If all three are not possible (usually very hard to come together), a very strong inclination of one of them would have to do...

Men on the other hand... mmm... strive for perfection. A beauty, with a kind heart, a smart head on her shoulder, funny, interesting, understanding, gives them space and someone who would be a good mother to his children..

Obviously these prefect creatures are far and in between.. and once in a while some people come close to finding it.. and yes, while no one is perfect, you might get cheated on with... puuhhh girls on the furthest away scale worthy of your time.

Good example: Tiger Woods .. now, men cheating is nothing new.. but his taste in these "mistresses" yikes.. perhaps for an average joe.. but goodness sake.. you are the richest athlete in the world- get a Victoria Secret Model or at least whatever George Clooney is getting.. but these plastic women... mmm... what do men really want... really...

At least Brad Pitt left Jennifer for Angelina but what if he left her for Lindsay Lohan! Or one of those girls from The Hills.

You could be dating Elizabeth Hurley.. but no... you like cruising for road side snacks. You could be married to Halle Berry or Princess Diana but heck.. you are not happy...Here's a list of Time's Top 10 Mistresses very very incomplete but it's a good sampling of "... whatttt???" some I could understand.. perhaps they are not the world's most attractive women but they are soul mates... and you are in love... bla bla.. divorce your wife then.. but other are just *duhhhh*

There is no rhyme or reason to how men choose their women perhaps they really want a cook in the kitchen, a lady in the living room and a whore in the bedroom and perhaps really they need different women to fulfil they myriad of needs- some perhaps need one but an awfully odd choice..

But women, easy.. see a hot chick with an ugly dude.. he must be rolling in cash or have a silver tongue and know how to spoil her. Nearly always true isn't it?

Recently I have found the most obedient husbands to be married really to women who treat them like dogs, work them like a horse and milk them like a cow. And these women are always complaining and these men always work hard at trying to make them happy...

So if there is a lesson learnt from all this. I am going to treat my next partner like crap and because men are irrational being in any case and treating them well is a waste. Perhaps there is some truth in "treat them mean, keep them keen" ... silly men.

Men complain always about gold diggers and superficial bitches.. but hey, women who play nice are rarely treated well.. and that is a sad fact in life. Not always true... but nearly always true. Just look around you.

wow... year end already?

I guess everyone is asking the same question... When you are a kid Christmas/New Year never came soon enough and now it just seems that time pass in a blink of an eye.. or 500 sleeps later.. yes 500 because sometimes I sleep 2 times a day.. hahaha..

I finally finished my exams last week. My life for the whole 2009 was leading up to that point.. I woke up at 4 am on Thursday, did some last minute reading and drove 2 hours down to the exams centre. Had two exams each is 3 hours and by the end of the day I was exhausted... but I dragged myself with my fellow German classmates to a beer in Frankfurt before heading home...

Then I started over compensating. I recently realise that I like to do this..

Friday I worked then had our company dinner, Sat I had to wake up early clean the house, prepare dinner as I had friends coming over for a wine and cheese party and had to meet another friend in the late afternoon for the Köln X'mas market. The dinner ended about 2 am in the morning and I had to wake up early and clean.. and I met with other friends in the afternoon for the Xmas market again....

It was freezing and I didn't want to take pictures.. brrrrrr...

As you can imagine.. Monday I was tired.. but after work met up with another friend who was leaving for his holidays in a city an hour away (Düsseldorf) from me for dinner.. Tuesday I had one day at home.. cleaning!! (again) and yesterday I was in the city to celebrate another friend's end of exams.. and today I am meeting up with another group of people for a X'mas market in Düsseldorf again...

oh my goddddddddddddd.... I seem to be high on something.. but it does seem that when I am pushing my time like this I feel less bored.. and very much more alive...

But I obviously cannot keep this up. I will die... so perhaps a nice rest on Friday.. and again some busy plans for the weekend. Clubbing Saturday and cart racing on Sunday.. mmmm...

Then I really need to recover because next week I am leaving for UK for my Xmas pilgrimage. I need my energy...

I was seriously feeling horrible especially in September/October- perhaps it was the sudden change of weather or just general stress of life.. but since November I have been feeling better.. settling down in this cold... feeling better all around again :)

And I am looking forward to the holidays in UK and looking forward to going home in January.. I am gonna get some SUN!!

And hopefully perhaps when I stop with all this going out stuff I could finally reorganise my website like I wanted to. Also re-pot my plants... I have managed to do half of them last Saturday..

Dear Lord.. when I think of all the 'homely' activities that needs to be done..all my cleaning, gardening and cooking.. I am so afraid that I am slowly turning to be that crazy cat lady.



Perhaps which is why I am overcompensating by going out.
