Valentine's day...

This morning I went downtown to finally find a job. The sun was shining and the weather was really nice, cold, but nice. I asked around in every shop I would like to work in. Well, I haven’t found a job yet, but I have a lot of telephone numbers where I can still ask and I applied at Balzac Coffee over the internet. I hope they take me, I looove Coffee Shops (though I don’t go there very often, since they are horribly expensive)!!

Yesterday, my friend Julia and I watched the movie “Spanglish” together, which was fun. We hadn’t seen each other for half a year because she had gone to Australia to work there as assistant teacher (I would have loved to do that, too >.<). We’ve never been that close but we’ve always been pretty good friends and it feels good to see that some friendships don’t change althought you lose contact for a while.

And now another thing:

I HATE VALENTINE’S DAY!!!!

And I can tell you why. 3 weeks before it, in every shop they begin to put up hearts in red and pink and other pink and red stuff and you see signs saying “February 14th, Valentine’s day” like, EVERYWHERE. They begin to sell everything with hearts on it as “Valentine’s day gift”, and no matter how hard you try you just can’t escape it! They tell you over the radio, on TV, on the internet…
This may be nice if you’re in a relationship, but if you’re not, it is just ANNOYING! I mean, they make you feel as if there’s a special club but you’re not in it. Even if I wanted to buy a Valentine’s day gift, I have no one to give it to…SO!
And what I hate most about it, is that it’s all just commercial! I mean, if I gave somebody I love a gift for Valentine’s day, I would make something myself, like putting photos together or writing in a book why I love this person so much or something like that, but I wouldn’t go and buy a heart-shaped something for a ridiculously high price. Maybe I will think different in a couple of years and ok, it is kinda cute from my dad to buy a little pot with roses and a heart in it for my mum but still…

Tell me what you think about Valentine’s day but please don’t tell me what your boy-/girlfriend gave you for it…

Favourite places to hang out in Hamburg:

Einstein (Bramfelder Chaussee), The Lloyds Tea room (Asien-Afrika-Institut, Edmund-Siemers-Allee1), SOHO (it is so cool^^, dunno the address), Block House (of course!), Kramer Amstsstuben (so cute!, they are next to the “Michel”)

ps: Nina had the new Jack Johnson album on her Mp3 player on Saturday! Yay!! I loooove Jack Johnson's music....I will post a song here later, when I've decided which one from the new album I like best.
