13 Reasons Why

Hola everyone.

So I guess you probably already know what I’ll talking about today. Yes, it happened. After such a long time of fighting against it, Netflix has finally defeated me too. But I just had to give in. Do any of you guys own a twitter profile? Literally everything people were and still are talking about is this tv series “Thirteen Reasons Why”. And me being the movie and tv series fan I am, I just had to fall for it sooner or later.

.

So I downloaded it. I now have this free trial for one month – I won’t have it any longer I think, Amazon Prime and Sky should be enough – and it’s just the perfect amount of time for me to try out as much as I can. And right now, I’m kind of binge-watching 13 Reasons Why, of course. And I have to say, I really do like it. I haven’t read the book and usually I’m not into such teenage drama stuff, but this show really keeps me in front of the screen, wanting more and more.

.

I’m currently at episode 9 and craving to find out what Clay really did – no spoilers please. So far the show never happened to let me down or bore me, which is a really good sign. There’s just one critic point – the whole story. I mean, I know that the book and the show is about Hannah, but I sometimes think she really did take herself a little bit too important (please don’t kill me in the comments). I know why the other students sometimes say that she just wants attention. But on the other hand I’m so damn sorry for her and think “oh wow, it’s really important to be nice to people”. And I guess that’s what the book/show wants to tell us – just be kind to people. You never know what really goes on in their life so it’s always better to bring them happiness and not even more pain.

.

But I guess I’m already pretty late on this trend. If any of you have already seen it or read the book – what did you think? Oh and is the book better than the show? I’m really curious. And I’m really excited to watch the last 4 episodes, I can’t wait. Oh and guys, I really hope you enjoyed this short insight on what I’m enjoying tv-wise right now. And I hope you’re all doing well. And, as always, thanks for reading. x

Ps: What besides this one would you recommend me watching? Riverdale? Black Mirror? Please hit me up with some ideas guys. Thaaanks. x

The Space Between Us

Hola everyone.

So, two days ago I went to the cinema – what a surprise – and watched a movie I’ve been wanting to watch for literally two months or so. Or actually far longer, I’ve been planning on watching this one since I saw the trailer. And as you can probably guess from the title, I’m talking about the supercute movie called “The Space Between Us”.

.

Some of you may have seen it already, if so, please tell me what you think about it, your opinion. Because I noticed how the movie was criticized a lot on the internet and personally, I have to say that I did enjoy it really much. And I still do, actually. But for those of you who don’t know the movie, here’s a little description (and here’s the trailer: youtube):

The movie is about two teens – Gardner and Tulsa – who met on the internet. But there are more than just a few miles separating them as Gardner was born on Mars and hasn’t met more than 14 people in his life. After 16 years living on Mars and desperately wanting to see more, Gardner finally gets to travel to Earth. But after his explorations begin, scientists discover that his organs can’t withstand Earth’s atmosphere. But before they can tell him, Gardner runs away and looks for the only person he knows – Tulsa. And so a race against time to unravel the mysteries of how he came to be and where he belongs in the universe begins.

.

To be honest, I don’t like romantic movies from the minds of for example John Green and Nicolas Sparks. I actually hate them. Because they are always so unrealistic and most importantly make me want to be in a relationship so so so bad. And you know that the thing of not having a date or anything like that ever, since I’m here on this beautiful planet, really is a weak spot of mine and so watching movies like those just hurts, really bad.

.

But I actually really enjoyed this movie. I mean, I love Asa Butterfield, he’s an amazing actor. And to be honest, he looks freaking fine in that hipster outfit with his Ray Bans on in the movie. And Britt Robertson is amazing too. And to be honest they are supercute together (although I just googled them both and saw that she’s literally nearly 7 years older than him, so… holy moly).

.

And the movie itself was just really good. But I think this is a movie only true, hopeless romantics can fully enjoy and love. And I am the biggest romantic you’ll ever find, so it didn’t really surprise me that I enjoyed it. I think the whole life on Mars stuff is totally cool and that they both meet on the Internet is also just completely based on how it is today. What I especially enjoyed was the style of the movie. It’s very colorful and dreamy and full of crazy adventures and, oh my god, such good music. The ending might not be what everyone wished for, but it’s the realistic one and I liked that they didn’t end it in the most cheesiest way possible because I think that would have completely ruined it for me.

.

But Gardner himself is my definite highlight of the whole movie. The character is really well developed. He’s smart and witty and adventurous and curious and just so so so romantic and honest. He just says whatever he’s thinking. And while Tulsa is a little bit closed off, he goes up to her and tells her the most beautiful things ever in the motto “when you like someone, why not just tell them?”. And I loved that. Throughout the whole movie I just grinned at him, totally adoring him. He’s the type of guy I’d do anything for to meet, seriously.

.

So yeah, as you can see I really like – love – this movie. It broke my heart but also filled me with happiness and dreamy love. It made me want to be in love, while the tears were still rolling down my face on my way home. That kind of love – funny, honest, cheesy, romantic, true and full of light and innocence – that’s what I want, that’s what the movie made me want.

.

Again, if any of you have seen this movie, please tell me your opinion. And, as always, I really hope you enjoyed this little review. I can just recommend this movie to any of you out there. Because ultimately the movie isn’t just about romance, it’s about finding out who you are and where you belong (it’s so sad that this movie isn’t based on a book). You just need to let yourself sink into the story completely and I bet you you’ll walk out of the cinema with tears in your eyes and a smile on your lips. I promise. And until then I wish you all an amazing weekend and thanks for reading. x

Ps: What’s your favorite thing about earth?

Welcome to Westworld

Hola everyone.

First of all I want to apologize for not posting anything on friday. I’m currently having some health issues and being a hypochondriac doesn’t really help in such situations. So yeah, I kind of got into a deep hole of sadness and anxiety, but I had a really important talk with mum and somehow she brought me back up again. That means that I’m slowly getting up and out of my hole and concentrating on the positive things.

.

And actually this blog is something that makes me really really happy and I don’t want to let any of you down and I just love writing, so I thought I’d post something today. Better late than never. And because I’m currently having no lectures and uni is starting in two weeks, I have some time to update myself of all the tv shows and movies I’ve missed in the past three months when I was in Berlin.

.

And one of this tv shows is called Westworld. Some of you probably already know it or have seen it. And some of you probably haven’t, so…

.

Let’s start with a short description. Overall the series is about a theme park called Westworld, far far in the future, where people can go to – like the name says – live in the wild wild west. But there something quite special about it – all the actors there are robots. But life-like ones, so you never know if they are real or not. Also, as a guest, you can do whatever you want. You can hurt them, but they can’t hurt you. And at the end of the day all their memories are washed away. But after so many years of perfect functioning, the park seems to slowly fall apart and the robots, or hosts like they are called, begin to come alive.

.

Exciting, I know. Actually I started watching this series when it was released, but let’s be honest, I’m good at English, but true, real american English is a whole new level. So I waited for it to be available in German which it is now. I’m currently on episode six I think (please don’t spoil anything) and I’m in love, seriously. Usually I’m not the person to watch crime shows or just thriller series, I’m more of the Scrubs and New Girl kind. But Westworld is really blowing my mind. And after finishing one epsiode, I just need to watch another one, it’s so gripping.

.

So yeah, that’s the tv series I’ve been spending my free time with for the last week. If any of you are watching it too or have been able to watch it, please don’t hesitate to hit me up. And until then sorry again for the delay and I hope you enjoyed this post. And as always, thanks for reading. x

Also I’m going to a Two Door Cinema Club concert and I’m so freaking excited, I can’t even describe my happiness. So get ready for a cool concert post tomorrow.

Merry Christmas

Hola everyone.

How are you guys? I hope you are all doing as good as me. And yes, I’m having an amazing time. First of all, it’s freaking Christmas. The days you spend time with your loved ones, your family, your friends. And it’s all about doing good, having fun, being happy and spreading love. How couldn’t you be happy at this time? And also, I am home. Finally. God, I’m so happy. But guys, if any of you aren’t as lucky as me – I know holidays aren’t always the easiest time – please know that I am always here for you and that you are strong an loved.

.

Actually, I just again wanted to wish you guys an amazing festive time with your family and friends. And that you have a lot of fun. And feel the love. And receive great presents. And just feel entirely happy.

.

I’m not sure if any of you want to know how I spent Christmas Eve, but maybe you are like me and really care about that, so I’ll just give you guys a short summary.

.

My Christmas

So, it kind of started with me finishing up the presents for my parents, which I actually love. Like, don’t you just love decorating presents and wrapping them into a christmas paper and putting them under the tree and seeing how all the colors fit and everything sparkles? Because I certainly do.

.

And after that we drove to grandmas where the family met up, like every year. Which I enjoyed so freaking much. I didn’t get to see them for over two whole months, so I loved meeting up with them again.

.

The hours went by so quickly and then it was already time for us to leave and drive back again to celebrate Christmas at home. Honestly, I had nothing to wish for this year. Because I already have everything I need and even more. More than I could have ever wished for. And me being at home with my family was the biggest gift ever. But as my parents are the best ever, they still got me some more stuff:

  • a book with 366 questions for me to answer every year for three years so I can see my development when it’s finished, which is so dreamy and cute and something that is so perfect for me and fits me like nothing else
  • a subscription for one whole year for one of my most favorite fashion magazines (yey, another thing I can look forward to every month)
  • a beautiful card – of course – and a small notebook for my to-do-lists, which I REALLY needed
  • and an Amazon Echo, which is a supercool speaker that thinks and learns and pretty much does whatever I tell it to do – like play music, so it’s again perfect for me

.

And after opening the presents, it was already like 11 pm and we shortly decided to end the evening by cuddling on the couch. Actually we put on the first Harry Potter movie, so it couldn’t have been any better. Oh and I also took some pictures throughout the whole day. As always the best ones are right at the end of the post. Please enjoy.

.

So yeah, that was my Christmas Eve with my family. But the christmassy mood is still on, of course. I’d really love to here what you did this year, so don’t hesitate to hit me up. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post, and Merry Christmas again and as always, thanks for reading. x

 

Café Society

Hola everyone.

Soooo, today I want to talk about an amazing movie I watched a few days ago. One that totally brought me back to the feeling of nostalgia. Another enormous gift brought to us by the magnificent Woody Allen. And one that feels like a dream.

.
I’m pretty sure that by reading the title you’ve already guessed which movie I’m talking about and yes, you are right, I’m talking about Café Society. I think this movie fits perfectly into Allens previous works like Magic In The Moonlight or Midnight In Paris. They all circle around the late 30s and how the people lived and especially in this one it’s all about this times society – the so-called café society.

.
Actually, the movie is a about a young guy named Bobby who travels to Los Angeles to work in the movie business for his uncle, who is in a pretty high position when it comes to making movies. And while being there he falls in love with a girl that isn’t like all the others, but somehow their love isn’t meant to be. Oh and let’s not forget his older brother who doesn’t always stay on the legal path when it comes to business. And so the adventure begins.

.
For me, the whole movie felt like a dream and actually the whole cinema experience. I watched the movie in a really old theatre, which actually only has one screen and therefore only plays one movie. And the whole room for the audience looked like a theatre and old music was playing and the audience was also so special – much older than me and still so chilled and cool. So the movie and the cinema couldn’t have fitted any more perfectly.

.
Overall, I probably couldn’t have had a better movie night. The movie itself was fantastic and so were the actors and of course the whole look of the movie and also especially the soundtrack. It featured that kind of old music that just makes you feel like you stepped onto the streets of Paris the 20s or 30s, full of romance, luxus and the happiness of life. And that’s why I love it so much.

.
So yeah, what a great movie. Thanks to Woody Allen for creating another piece of a dream. And as you can all probably guess, I can just highly recommend this one to you. And if you are in that kind of movies, you won’t regret it, I promise. And if any of you want to chat about the movie or anything else, I’m here. And until then I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Growing Up

Hola everyone.

So today I want to talk about something I am now confrontef with every single day. And I will for the next two months and later on for the rest of my life. Today I want to talk about how I feel about having to grow up and being an actual grown up.

.
Now that I’m living alone in Berlin, with no actual grown up members of my family that even live in the same country, I am completely depended on myself. And holy moly, I can tell you, I never imagined that it could be this tough. As far as I remember, until now, I always had my parents around who would do all the grown up stuff for me. And of course that made life a lot easier. And now that I am in Berlin on my own, I have to do all of this stuff myself, which brings me to the point that I noticed how much the current situation taught me about life as a grown up:

.

  • Go for a walk once in a while, even if you’re alone
  • Telecom companies are straight from hell
  • Google is your best friend
  • Cooking for yourself all the time takes longer than you think
  • While being alone, you really get to know a lot about yourself
  • Doing things on your own like going to the cinema isn’t weird, but actually is normal
  • Life without your own washing machine makes everything a lot more complicated
  • The same without a dishwasher and a microwave
  • Late night shops are the best thing ever
  • YouTube, a good movie or tv show can save the day,
  • If you don’t like your current situation, change something about it
  • You’re never too old to need your parents
  • You can do whatever you want, just be happy
  • Animals and plants make everything so much better
  • WhatsApp is a gift from heaven
  • I still sometimes feel like I’m 12 and that’s okay (actually, it’s awesome)
  • Book stores are the perfect place to take a break from the world
  • Love life

.

So yeah, this is how I feel about living the life of a grown up here in Berlin. And maybe you feel the same. Anyway, I am still pretty happy that I can get back to being a child without this huge pack of responsibilities when I get back home in February. I don’t really feel ready for being and doing this here for the rest of my life, I still need some off-let’s be a child -time.

.
I am pretty sure that most of you know pretty well what I am talking about, so whenever you want to talk, I am here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post, and as always, thanks for reading. x
