Bonjour/Goedendag!!: Learning French and Dutch

I am finally updating my blog!!! A big compliment to me!

I have been speaking (good) English for about 6 years and German (still improving) for about 3 years. Now I also speak Swiss German more or less. Plus of course my mother language.

Recently I began to learn French and Dutch as well. The reason of learning French is simply because I am living in Switzerland. I often have situations in which I wish I was able to speak French, for example,...

The lonely bitten chocolate

It has been over two weeks now since she departed. The apartment still looks as if she would be still living here. Her books are lying on the floor and the desk, her clothes are hanging over the back of the sofa, and her already bitten chocolate is still lying in the refridgerator.

Thank you all for the encouraging messages. It was really hard to let her go in the airport. Her friends of course came there to say the final good bye, but I was so weak against the emotion and I ended...

There she goes on my birthday...

The count down is neary over. At the moment it is 6.

I am having a hard time right now. But, I know that I should be happy about it because she is making a huge step in her career.

This opportunity is a huge step for her. Truely so.

But the day is really just around...

That made my whole body vibrate and made my eyes watery. Have I ever experienced this kind of feeling in a classical music concert?.... Probably not. Therefore, I have to thank Ricardo Chailly and Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for giving me a memorable wonderful night.

I was actually doubting...

Blog entry for vcash?? Better not

queen alexandria, Skyward, and Fergie, thanks for your comments! And everyone else, it's been a while that I am here and writing another blog entry. The reason why I didn't update my blog is that I was too lazy (Yes, I admit.. ), and one more reason is that I didn't feel like bloging anymore because of this vcash system and some people are taking an advantage of it. Simply, making a blog just for vcash. Well, I am not blaming them, but I feel it is a bit ugly that some of us are writing...
