My New Year's Resolutions

New Year's resolutions

First I want to wish everyone a  
VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

May your year full of love, happiness, health, and success!

In 2014 certain things in my life didn't work the way I wanted them to. Things have changed, but at least into the better. So I hope this year will be an awesome one!

Here are my New Year's resolutions for 2015 that i listed below:

Become more organized
Starting this month I will organize literally everything. It will be basically a New Year's cleaning for myself. I have already begun with the apartment and the clothes. I threw everything away that I really don't need anymore except the clothes. They will be sold either online or on a flea market - I will let you know when i sell them :). Next will be my laptop, my blog, my mind, and my scheduling. Overall I want to be less stressed or less overwhelmed and I want to have a clear head.

Eat healthier
Since I moved to America I've eaten lots of greasy, super sweet, and processed food which is so unhealthy to your body. When you eat a pizza from Pizza Hut here, it feels like you eat a pizza that was sitting in a bath of oil, unbelievably greasy, totally different than in Germany. Anyways I got so tired of it that I decide to eat healthier by cooking or baking most of the food at home, because you know what kind of ingredients you use and you can alter it yourself. Furthermore, I want to try new healthy recipes and I might share them with you on my blog if you are interested in that. Also, my target is to eat more fruit and vegetables, eat less red meat and eat more poultry & fish, and of course to drink lots of water to flush out toxins.  You know, you are what you eat and drink :)

Work out on a regular basis
I would like to tone my body parts, because when I look in the mirror my muscles look like they are sleeping. Who wants that? So I will create a schedule and exercise regularly.

Improving my blog
In 2011, most of my pictures from my old blog posts back in 2009/2010 that I used to upload over TinyPic (this site sucks by the way!!) were deleted from them. Fortunately I was able to fix some by uploading them again via Blogspot, but suddenly my usb stick corrupted and i don't have access to them anymore or it won't let me read them, but I know all my stuff is still in there - what a nightmare! I wish I could fix this. To recover an usb stick is not cheap. Maybe you have experienced the same thing and you could tell me what you have done? I would absolutely appreciate it! I want to have all my pictures shown on my blog. For me, it's like you having pieces ripped out of your book and its not complete. Besides that I will organize this blog a little like i mentioned in the first resolution and maybe revamp it. Also I try my best to blog regularly. At the moment I barely have time to blog because I'm working almost everyday and come home exhausted. Then there is always something that comes between when I want to write or take photos. So I hope this will change in the next few months. I love to post and share everything I love with you.

Travel more often
My plans for this year are to travel to different countries and discover new beautiful places as much as I can. These are the places that I would love to visit within this or next year:  London (England), Berlin (Germany), Paris (France), Rome (Italy), maybe Barcelona (Spain) and Amsterdam (Netherlands) again :), New York and Hawaii (USA), Krabi and Chiang Mai (Thailand).

Become creative again
Oh yea, I definitely need to. I haven't painted and design clothes in forever. What have I done to myself?!? I totally neglected my talents D: I want to start designing clothes and paint pictures again.

Become a better person
I want to set more goals in my life and stick to them like these resolutions in this post. These are the most important ones. From now on I want to work more on myself. I don't want to become a new person, but a better one. What I need to do is to take more care of myself and find self confidence that I kind of lost. Then I want to meet new people and socialize more which is very important these days and also I want learn how to express my feelings better.


What are your resolutions for 2015 :) ?

Photo Diary: Hua Hin, Thailand

Monday, December 22, 2014


Just a few days later after we had dinner at the Yok Yor Restaurant in Bangkok we drove to Hua Hin to visit our other relatives and friends there.

Hua Hin has changed tremendously over the last few years. My eyes fell out when were on the way to my great aunt. Her beautiful old house is surrounded by bars, "spas", and hotels. As a woman you feel very uncomfortable walking through alleys day and night and guys starring at you from the bar. Majority of these people were from other countries that I won't mention. You will find out sooner or later when you visit this town or maybe you already know that from your last trip there. All i can say is that something has to change, because it's disgusting and it just makes me kind of sick to see what happened to beautiful Hua Hin!


But now the bad things aside, because I want to show you the beautiful side of Hua Hin.
After a three-hour ride from Bangkok we were very welcomed by our lovely great aunt with my most favorite meal chicken satay with peanut sauce and sliced mangoes & coconut milk served with sticky rice.

When we were finished we got some dessert made by relatives who live in this town too: Water chestnut and taro pudding topped with sweet coconut cream. So gooood - I totally love them!
To get this delicious dessert you can stop by at their shop Hanbanchaphong (ร้านเบญจพงศ์).

Here is the address from them:
Shop Hanbanchaphong (ร้านเบญจพงศ์)
49-49/1 เดชานุชิต
Hua Hin, Hua Hin District
Prachuap Khiri Khan 77110
Phone number: 032 511 255


In the evening we went to the most popular night markets out there. They have lots of stalls that sell anything from yummy fresh cooked food to fashion items and souvenirs. There are just so many things to find and buy. I recommend coming early so you wont miss anything out :)

If you missed the night market, throughout the day, there are still some stalls along the beach that sell colorful shells, handcrafted things and souvenirs as well.

Here is a picture of the beach with a view to the Chopsticks Hill (Khao Takiab). During our stay in Hua Hin I had the chance to visit this hill and another one not far away from this one. They both have temples on it which I will post about in the next photo diary post.

And lastly a few more pictures from the beach and the hotel we stayed in:

You can catch some small crabs there :). I released them again after looking at them.
