I wrote my very first blog entry in August 2005. I was nineteen, the internet was still relatively new at that time and blog-tools, that one could use for free, were very rare. It was exciting. For every entry I wrote into my live journal I selected a specific song that was listed above the article itself… Continue reading Throwback Friday: Romance in a one-way street
Some things are really hard to justify: A third piece of chocolate cake on a single afternoon, staying in bed after having slept twelve hours already, skipping the gym in order to binge-watch the third season of "Love" on Netflix – and spending six hundred Euros on two nights in a hotel in a city… Continue reading The one time I was unreasonable or: Two nights at the Marina Bay Sands
