AAAAAAAH

Sorry sorry sorry.... Yes, I should post more and keep you more up to date, but its hard you know ;)

I had a very nice birthday, even though I didn`t see anyone of my family. Well at least I got a birthday song through the telephone. Once in a while its a nice experience to have a calm birthday.

I had a small BBQ with my friends at my home, since my hostfamily is gone since thursday for 2 weeks - YES I HAVE VACATION!!!- and then we went out in DC.

My singing teacher Philip Cave just had the great idea to give me Schumann's Liederkreis Opus 24 to sing and its absolutely beautiful. I can`t stop listening to it. So thats why I´m kind of busy too;) I had 4 lessons with him so far and on Saturday I gonna have my last one I think =( and it was really worth it!!!

You maybe wonder what I`m doing in my vacation, right?! Well since all my friends have either no money or no time, nobody could accompany to anywhere and I`m not someone who likes traveling alone, I called my best JOYCE in New York if we can hang out. She: " well you would have to work at teh school with me=)" YAY!!!

So since thursday I`m helping out in the au pair school and its a lot of fun, but also hard work sometimes. The team is absolutely fantastic and so much fun!!

Oh and I decided to change my future plans. Instead of becoming a teacher/singer something I`ll start becoming a satutary. Why? Because then I don`t have to pay anyone to make a monument for my amazing GODMOTHER!! THANK YOU THANK YOU

Come Back ?!

Not really...

My dear Family and friends. This is so unbelievable embarrassing that I thought about never telling this story and just live with the loss.

It's one of those things you always smile about when you read them somewhere and you think "Oh my god, how can you seriously be so silly and stupid?!"

I guess I will never ever do that again....

Yes you got it, I will never receive the iPhone I bought proudly on Friday, bragging with it.

I found the seller - of course - in the internet. He had a great looking website, with a lot of information, how long he is selling them, reviews, how the payment works, how secure it is and so on.
I contacted him via e-mail and then I gave him my cellphone number. He called me and he asked me for my address, chatted a little with me why my name is spelled without an "e" at the end. He made me feel extremely comfortable.
Then he explained me again how the payment is working. Its called moneypak

Moneypak is like a prepaid card. You can buy it in a lot of stores like CVS or RadioShack. You basically transfer physically money into electronic money. The money is now on your card, which has a 11 digit security code on it. With that code you can access the money.
I called him again to tell him that I bought the card.

The deal was supposed to be like this: he sends me the iPhone and I should put the card into the envelope which he will send with the iPhone and send it back to him, that he can access the money.

To make sure that I have such a card he asked me for the last 7 digits of the card number. And I thought "sure where is the problem, since he doesn't have the whole code?"

Today I know that the first 4 digits are all the same on every card.
Now you can start laughing at me.

I mean now everything is clear. I feel like the most stupid person in the world.
Because: 505$ is the maximum you can put on moneypak, why the hell does he even need one damn digit of the shitty security code and why for gods sake did I really did it.

The worst thing is, that I can't do anything to get that money back. Even if I knew who that guy is and where he lives. I have no prove that he has my money. I have no evidence at ALL.


The person I feel so unbelievable sorry for, is my godmother. This iPhone was a present from her to me. I feel like a little child you can't rely on, who is not responsible enough to be allowed to have money.
Ursula, ich hoffe wirklich dass ich dich persoenlich erreiche, bevor du es hier liest. Ich kann dir gar nicht sagen, wie schrecklich peinlich mir das ist und wie leid es mir tut. Aber ich hab daraus gelernt.

Alright guys, spread the news...

THE COMEBACK

Hm, where shall I start here?

As you know, I already lost every hope to get my pictures back and focused more on the project "ask-all-your-friends-if-they-have-some-of-them"

I did some shopping to cheer me up though=) ---> booked my flight to California AND bought a new iPhone 3Gs

Another great thing was of course, that the Bundesliga started again on Friday! Even though Stuttgart lost the first game, it was fun to watch with Gabriel...

On Saturday we wanted to go to a shooting range and shoot with the guns of Gabriels host dad's dad. But unfortunately that didn`t happen. BUT, Joyce was in Annapolis, so we went there, drank beer with her and had a great time as usual=) She is the best!!

Before I left with Gabriel I ran a last program! - Thanks Henry! - and guess what?! I came home at around 1 am and I had my pictures back!
Great yes! BUT they are completely mixed up. Gonna take some hours to fix all that again... at least I have them back...

Sunday was great! Gabriel and I had tickets for the friendly game between D.C. United and REAL MADRID!

We saw Christiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Snejder, Xabi and so on LIVE! It was a torture though. 100 degrees (37.7 ° C)!!!!!!

Well here are some pictues of it =)


Only 7 weeks and I`m back! =( =) its hard to say. I gonna miss a lot of people here but looking forward to so much good stuff!

:'(

This is one of the sadest days since my baby left home....

All my pictures since February are gone! I can't find them!! I could cry actually I am crying. Not a single picture of Taise, not a single picture from Miami...
And additional to that I know that my sweetheart doesn't feel well, has the flue and we had a misunderstanding last night =( SORRY for that!

Well now I'm just hoping that this damn file recover program finds all the data. Then I only have to buy it for JUST 99$.... well I would pay 3000$ if I had to. all my memory supporters.... gone


please keep your fingers crossed!

He is a god!

It was absolutely amazing!

Ok not 3 hours ride. I never was in such kind of a rush hour! It was simply not moving. The only thing which was moving, was the time... Well i wanted to leave at 4.30 my brazilian friends around 5 what means we left at 5.30 (the concert starting at 7.30 and the trip 1hour 30minutes in heavy traffic). I was getting in a bad mood. I was still tired from last night (Renatas birthday), I was hungry, thirsty, not feeling well and thought I won`t see anything of the show.

Fortunately the show didn`t start until 9! so we were on time eventually and saw an amazing show.
His voice is still brilliant and he is a funny guy!




The way back was a hard thing again.... Just leaving the parking lot took about 1 hour and another 30minutes waiting at the drive through at the mcdonald....

I saw a BEATLE LIVE!!!
