Blogmas Day 21: Why we should start worrying about the world we're living in

Don't say anything.

I know I somehow managed to delete my last blogpost :(

But let's talk about something more important.

Let's face the truth.

It's the 21st of december..where's my snow?!

It is not even cold over here.

People were walking around without jackets two days ago..

By the way, I live in Germany so this is not normal haha

Everyone is happy about it and thankful that it's not freezing but

1. What's Christmas without snow

and

2. Am I the only one who's thinking about global warming instantly when the weather is playing up?

I am really worried.

I mean...this is not normal at all.

We're living in a world where thousands of people lost their lives because of natural disasters.

Everyone is warning us that because of the climate change more and more natural disasters will happen in the future.

Just take a look at this graphic.

It shows the change of temperature and the change of CO2..I'm sorry my english is definitely not ready for this explanation hahaha

But just look how much the CO2 grew.

Just compare 1900 with 2010 and it will grew further in the exponential way.

I don't really know where this post is going.

I'm just sharing my mind..the weird side of my mind.

I am really worried about these kind of things.

I mean I can't even change anything...am I the only one who worries about this?

I mean it's definitely not normal that it didn't snow yet.

I'm sorry if this post is not making any sense and you're sitting there laughing at me and thinking: oh silly little Bo! hahaha

Again, sorry that I accidently deleted my last blog post..whoops :S

Anyways..I hope everyone is enjoying the last days before Christmas :)

Blogmas Day 11: My plan about Interrail!

Hey!

I'm sorry for not posting the last few days but I wasn't feeling really well.

I'm not feeling well still but I wanted to post so I don't let anyone hanging..

Anyways.

Today I wanted to tell you about the plan I'm having with my best friend.

We want to travel through Europe with Interrail.

If you don't know what Interrail is, well it's basically working like this:

You can buy a ticket, there are different ones you can choose from.

You have One Country tickets and the Global tickets.

You can also choose for how many days you want to travel.

With these tickets, you can travel with a lot of trains.

Not every train but a lot of them.

And you can travel through 30 countries in Europe.

As we graduate next year, you normally go on vacation with your grade but as this would be a Party-trip to Greece and we both don't drink alcohol so we thought we'd make our own thing and travel through europe instead.

We want to travel through east europe because we think it's more interesting for us.

And it's cheaper haha

If anyone has any tips or opinions on this, it would really help (:

Blogmas Day 6: Don't have wishes. Have plans.

Hey you little cheeky fella'

How you doin'?

It is the time of the year to start think about the wishes for 2015.

The standard wishes are probably to

To lose weight.

To be better at school.

To get a boyfriend/girlfriend hahaha

But I am here.

Now.

To write history!

We!! 

Yes we...will make a change.

Spoiler alarm...the title of the post already told you what I want to say.

No wishes.

We will make plans for next year.

You know I am graduating next year and it was always my dream to travel.

And now me and my bestfriend want to travel through Europe for one month.

It was always my dream and my wish to go study media design.

Now? It is my plan to start uni next year in October.

What I am trying to tell you is that you never give up on your dreams or wishes.

They will happen if you work hard and keep going.

Make plans.

I am here today on the 6th of december and I am telling you this one thing.

Let 2015 be the year where our dreams come true.

Blogmas Day 5: My Christmas story

Hello everyone :)

First things first...there are a few reasons why I didn't post yesterday

<> I had to go to see some doctors and had a check on my blood

<>  I don't like the number 4.

<> Why 4th if you can have the 5th

<> I'm a rebel

...I'm a rebel contains 4 words.

I am a rebel.

I chose to write it as I'm a rebel so there are only three words, that's how much I don't like that number.

...you can tell I've had sugar, right?

Anyways lets move on to the actual topic..I mean I can talk further about numbers and relate it to life if you want to? - ...No?..oh ok..

So I want to tell you about my Christmas and how it usually looks like since I have two kinds of celebrating it with two family parts obviously.

My mothers family lives in Croatia so we sometimes go there to celebrate Christmas with them.

In croatia, the children normally don't get any presents because you celebrate it with the old traditions.

On the 24th, some people decide (like my family and I) to go through the houses and celebrate with everyone.

Since it's a small town and you know everyone, it is alright to do that...I wouldn't do that with strangers. But yeah so we go through the houses, sit there for a few minutes and just talk and wish them a Merry Christmas eve.

I love that kind of Christmas because people there celebrate it for the real reasons of it.

One thing I don't enjoy that much is that there is alot of snow.

By alot I mean alot.

We literally get stuck in there.

My uncle ends up searching for his car since it gets 2-3 meters high..

oh well haha

The second way of celebrating my Christmas is with my fathers family.

Half of it is living in Hamburg, which is in Germany and the other half in Croatia.

We celebrate it in Hamburg, actually more often than we celebrate it in Croatia.

I have a better connection to my family here in Germany since we see each other more often.

We all go on summer holiday together in Croatia and all that.

What I love here is that we always go out and do stuff.

So we don't sit at home.

We make the best time out of the little amount we have.

For example.

It kind of got a tradition to go bowling..and to go to the cinema and ice skating.

And we sit down and look at all the old pictures and watch old videos.

We have aaaloooot of them and this is just amazing.

Also..I love Hamburg.

It is definitely my favourite city.

BUT

This year it'll be different.

Since we moved house, everyone from Hamburg will come here to Munich to celebrate with us.

The last time I celebrated Christmas was when I was 4-6 years old I think.

I can't really remember.

So yeah I can't wait for celebrating christmas with 13 other people in one house..

oh god that will be stressy.

And messy.

Anyways I hope you're having a great time :)

Blogmas Day 3: The poem that changed my life

Hello!

Today, I want to share an amazing poem.

This poem is my favourite and it really changed my life.

Whenever I read it, it gets me.

Every single time.

It's called Invictus and it's written by William Ernest Henley.

The first time I heard about that poem was when I watched the movie called "Invictus".

It's about Nelson Mandela's life and how he made it through 27 years of being in jail and how he achieved building up a kind of friendship between the two sides of South Africa.

This movie is amazing.

I absolutely love it.

You should definitely watch it.

Back to the poem.

This poem hits my emotional side every single time.

I think what Mandela said in the movie is that this poem gave him strength to go through jail and this hard time.

And reading this poem gives me strength.

Whenever I feel sad or down I read it.

And it does make me feel stronger.

It's not just the poem.

It's also the story about Mandela.

He is one of the people who did so much for this world.

He made a change.

And he was strong enough to get through all of it.

My favourite line in this poem is 

"I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul"

I mean the whole poem is just amazing.

I don't know,,maybe it's just me.

But I really wanted to share this.

In case if you're having a bad or hard time.

I hope it helps you as much as it helped me :)

Blogmas Day 2: I regret my actions, minds and words.

Hello :)

It's the second Day of Decembeeer whoop whoooop!

Today's topic is something that I think about a lot.

Sometimes..it happens quite often actually,

I start thinking about myself and the way I am living my life.

And then I end up asking myself the same questions every single time...

Am I happy with my life?

Am I happy with myself?

Don't get me wrong I am not talking about my weight or my style or anything related to that.

I am talking about myself as a person.

I have people in my life who can make me instantly happy just by looking at them and they've done so much for me.

I could never give them any of their love and happiness back.

I really want to be a happy and positive person and I do force myself to stay positive.

But I feel like I am not ...do you know what I mean?

Ugh it's hard to explain...this is not supposed to be a sad post

the time around Christmas just makes me really happy and...sentimental I guess?

I just want to give everyone the happiness back that I am getting every single day.

I want to be the person who can make someone's day.

I want to help.

I just want to be a good human.

Knowing that I did everything right in my life.

And I have to admit..until now I really regret a lot of things.

A lot of spoken words when I had my mood swings.

I feel really bad about it.

I want to change my attitude.

My way of living.

My way of seeing life.

I want to be happy.

But the most important..

I want to be the reason why other people are happy.

Blogmas Day 1: Is Christmas lost?

Hello everyone!

Sorry but I'm not in a really good mood today.
Eventhough it's the first of december...24 days left...then it's Christmas..

Nevermind about the mood thing OH MY GOD I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Anyways by the title of this post...my Blogmas is kind of starting in a negative thing..HA that's what you think!

Goot yaaa :D

Anyways.
Let me tell you a little christmas story.

On Friday I was sitting in my English class as always when Christmas suddenly came to my mind!
And of course...you know my by now...I had to share my mind with everyone again.

I can tell you that my teacher was really excited for it but the others...
Well there were some people who said they hate Christmas...they HATE it.

Can you believe that?
Then I asked them why to prove that their opinion was not invalid and I have to admit I understood them,

They said that nowadays...the Christmas spirit is lost.
The real reason why people celebrate Christmas...and I have to agree.
Everything that is going on is Christmas shopping...and okay I like giving presents to my family but this is not the real reason for Christmas.

You know my parents are from Croatia and this country is really religious..I mean I go to church every Sunday and about Christmas time I go there everyday.

So in my family the real reason for Christmas is not gone at all..of course we give each other presents but this is not so important..take me for an example
I don't even want to get any presents...okay I'm hoping for a smoothie maker this year...can you blame me for that?
C'mon a Smoothie-maker!! Amazing.

So in my eyes you can't really enjoy Christmas without having the real reason for it in your mind.
Don't expect presents or any other things.
Share your happiness and just enjoy being around your family and be thankful for everything you have.

Tell the people you love them.
It will make their day!
Trust me :)

I hope this was a nice start in december...and see it wasn't that negative!

See you tomorrow (:

Next month will be awesome!

Hey everyone!

I know today should be taking over Saturday…

BUT I’M SO EXCITED

Next month is Christmas!!!!

And I decided to be a part of Blogmas!

Yes that’s right.

I want to share my excitement with you!
I LOVE CHRISTMAS.

I’m not that kind of person who wants a lot of presents, I love Christmas for these sentimental reasons.

The whole city decorated with all these beautiful lights.
The feeling from coming into the warm house after being outside in the cold

The Christmas tree and all the Christmas cookies..oh the cookies! Mmmhm

I.CAN’T.WAIT.

I hope I made you as excited as I am!

P.S this will be my first Blogmas so be gentle with me!

Being thankful for such a great childhood

Today, I want to share some of my memories of my childhood.

I am so thankful for it and I can say I enjoyed every second of it.

I am happy that I was born before all the technology took over.

I played outside everyday with my older brother and we just imagined stuff and built treehouses..on the ground…obviously cause we were little and had no idea what we were doing but anyways haha

I love thinking back to the old times and especially looking at the old pictures.

There are sooo many videos and pictures of me and my older brother (like this one) and my cousins.

I feel really sorry for all the kids who have to grow up with smartphones and tablets and all that stuff.

It actually is important to get dirty as a child, I’m not even kidding.

It helps your imune system to get stronger…I learnt that in biology so yeah don’t question it. 

And you can’t get dirty from sitting at home playing video games all day..duuuhhh

Here a picture of me pretending I knew how to bake haha

One story I love to hear over and over again..well there are alooot of stories I love to listen to.

But I have two favourites.

One of them was at Christmas time and My dad had a motorbike back then.

He took my brothers, my cousins and my slide and tied it to his motorbike and drove us through the snow.

I remember this and it was amazing.

The other story was in summer at our Holidays in Croatia.

We were at the beach and my parents still don’t know how that happened but basically my older brother, my cousin and me gone for a walk around the beach and…well we came back with a goat.

A GOAT.

No one knows where we got it from and how we got it to come with us but yeah..hahaha

I love thinking back.

Amazing memories and I am so thankful for my parents and family taking all these pictures and literally walking around with a camcorder recording every single second.

 

Fighting for my dream

Bonjour everyone!

If you remember last weeks post, you'll know what I will talk about today...you don't remember?

No worries.

Read it now....Go. I'll wait....

...

Done it? Good.

In my blogpost about Catching my dreams, I was talking about my dreams and last week I said that I wasn't getting any support for my dream either.

I kept fighting.

I still am.

But before I tell you about it, I want to show you an update on my drawings.

Hope you enjoy :)

There you go, I am still drawing..by the way the last one is not finished yet.

And with every drawing I am showing my parents that this will be my future.

I started working to save money for the uni so they see that I really mean it.

I am not giving up.

I really think that my parents finally understood that this is what I really want.

Of course they're not that happy with my decision but like I showed them how bad I really want this, 

I will show them how good I will be at my job as a Media-Designer.

I am not giving up.

If I have to fight until the day I am sitting in the University then so be it.

But I won't give up.

If I know one thing, then that fighting for this is a hundred percent worth it.

Getting no support is the best motivation to keep going.

Trust me.

Don't you ever give up on your dreams!

Haaaaaiiiii you!

How are you? Good! I'm fine thanks :D

Today's post is about something that means a lot to me.

Because I know how it feels to get no support.

Back then when I started my blog I had two posts who are kind of related to this one.

The post about Catching my dreams and How to: Be happy!

But today...I really want and need to tell you something.

You're awesome.

Yes you are.

No matter what others say, you always been and you always will be.

I still have the same dream.

I want to be a media designer.

And I never had my parents support...but did I give up? - No.

I was fighting and I still am.

I am telling you that it is a 1000% worth it to fight for your dreams, even if it seems impossible.

The moment you stop dreaming, is the moment you lost.

Don't ever quit doing what you love or fighting for it just because someone doesn't support you with it.

I know what I am talking about.

My partents, the people who had the most influence on my life didn't support me.

But I proved them wrong.

I showed them that I totally mean and want it.

And now?

Did it help?

You'll know that next week (:

How to: Know you're living a good life

Hellooo...first I want to apologize for not posting last week but I've not been able to as I was kind of really ill haha 

BUT 

I'm okay again so here's today's post!

Now to understand this post I think I have to explain how this topic even came to my mind.
I'm 17 years old and I've never been a person who drank alcohol,smoke or went to parties.
I just don't like that.

I do have friends who do all that stuff tho.
And there was a time where they kept telling me that I don't live my life right and that I'm wasting my youth.

Why am I suppose to go to parties and drink because I'm young?
Is this their definition of a good life?

Well it's obviously not mine.
In my eyes, and I can say that's only how I think, it's important to look and maybe live for the future.
I study a lot and I draw because I want to get to my dream university.
Get my dream job.

You know, I don't have to party and drink and go out if I know that my future will make me happy.

Plus.

I think you know that you're living a good life as a good person if you know you've helped other people or made their life happier and easier.

You can't have the definition of a good life in saying that you're enjoying every second with partying but not helping any others.

That's just not right in my eyes.

I mean you don't have to be mother Theresa now don't get me wrong.
But helping your parents now and then or old people if they do.

Walk around with a smile and just be nice to each other.
You have no idea how much a little smile can affect someone's day.


I don't know if my definition of a good life is right but this is how I see it.


I hope I didn't offend anyone with this haha
Have a nice day (:

A reason to cry helped me out of my depression

Hey

If you followed my last weeks posts you know that i fell into a kind of depression.
And I didn't know how to get out of it.

But something happened last week.
I don't know if it's right to tell you about this but since it's "Life with me", I think I'll have to share it.
So a few weeks ago, one of my favourite teachers had an epileptic applicable...well that's what everyone thought.
He got into hospital and they found brain hemorrhages.
Last week the tests from the laboratory came back.
He has a brain tumor.

They can't operate him so he'll start with the chemotherapy on Monday.

When I came home my mother asked me how my school day was and I started crying after I failed in telling her about my teacher.

I cried alot that day.
My brother was his favourite student and after I told him he started crying aswell.

The next two days I think, have been worse than the days where I got into the depression but I soon felt better because I actually had a reason to cry.
I had a reason to be sad.

When I fell into the depression I was sad and cried because of my life in general.
And of course you don't know how to get out of it because you don't know what you'd have to change to make it better again.

But now that I had a reason to be sad, I could finally start doing something to make it better again.

I bought some kind of book where every student could write some nice things in to show him our support.
We also talked alot about another present to get him.

So yeah these sad news got me out of my depression.
Don't get me wrong I am still sad about this but I finally know why I'm sad.

Depressions suck

Hey.

I'm not really in the mood to write a blogpost, sure you can tell why by the title of this post.

I really can't tell if this is just a heavier mood swing or really a depression.

I can tell that writing about this is not that easy for me right now.

Normally when I write about these topics, I'm not currently going through them. 

I try to help people.

But sometimes it all gets too much.

And you get no help.

You automatically feel alone and no one surround you realizes it.

What does it feel like to go through this?

This describes it pretty good.

I lost all the energy to even do things and i'm forcing myself to write this post.

I don't want to be like this.

I didn't choose to be like this.

I made a research about depression and the symptoms:

• Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
• Fatigue and decreased energy
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness
• Feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism
• Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
• Irritability, restlessness
• Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex
• Overeating or appetite loss
• Persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment
• Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings
• Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts

The article also said that depression can come and go or last for a longer period of time.

How to get out of it?

I don't know.

I really don't.

I guess I have to wait.

Force myself to stand up every morning and live my life further.

Do the things I used to enjoy and not stop with it because I think it will make it worse.

If anyone is going through the same as me at the moment.

Holla Sister, i guess. You're not alone.

How to: Be more self-confident

HELLOOOO OCTOBER!
oh and hey everyone!

Today I want to help you.
Yes you.
I want to make you more confident with yourself.

Now I'm a person who normally is really self-confident but sometimes I get these moods where I hate everything about me.

So what do I do to get me out of these moods to feel self-confident again?

Step one: find a mirror

Step two: look into the mirror

Step three: focus on the positive things about you.

Now step three is the important step...okay I mean if you can't find a mirror then step three won't work either but you know what I mean haha

I want you to stand in front of the mirror and just look at yourself.

Look at yourself and feel free to be happy about some parts of your body.

Take me as an example:

Whenever I feel down because of my weight...yeah that happens sometimes and ten minutes later I sit down eating chocolate cause I was doing the mirror thing..anyways back to the point:

So whenever I feel down and I look into the mirror, I focus on the things I like about myself.

For example, I like my eyes.

So I focus on them..which can be creepy if you're standing in front of the mirror and staring into your own eyes like you're trying to creep the other person out..

It doesnt matter what you like about yourself, whether it's your eyes, your nose, your ears..there are some people with nice ears so why not haha
Or your hands, if you have nice hands then I'm happy for you!

What I'm trying to tell you in this chaos of letters is that you should stop focusing on the negative things about yourself.

Nobody is perfect.
Everyone has imperfections and that is good.

It would be so boring if everyone was perfect.

People make mistakes.
Just because you make mistakes, it doesn't mean that you're not allowed to be self-confident anymore.
Just because you like some parts of your body, it doesn't make you an arrogant person.

I'm a person who thinks that other people automatically focus on the negative things about myself, like I do.
But that's not true.
I've met so many people who were shy at the beginning and after a while they told me they hated their body or whatever...I don't know if I'm the only one here but I don't care about these things on others at all.

I don't focus on others imperfections.
I apreciate the positive things about them.

And if you learn to see it that way, the way that everyone in this world is walking around with imperfections..then I hope you will stop focusing on yours because you don't care about theirs either, am I right?

I hope I helped you a little bit...if not then tell me so I can just try it again.
Maybe the mirror thing only works for me, who knows

Anyways!

I wish you great start in October :) x

Taking over Saturday - Real bands save fans

H-H-HEEELLOOO so today is the 4th Saturday of the month, which means…TAKING OVER SATURDAY!

Enjoy today’s guest blogger :)

 

Hey Guys :)

I’m not Bobi who usually writes the blog. 

My Name is Andji and I’m Bobis cousin. 

Bobi asked me to write something for her Blog.

By the way.. I love Bobis Blog ,"Life with me"

It describes some situations in my life and I think in your lives.

Okay that enough about me. :)

Today’s blogpost will be about Boybands.

There is a sentence that describes every fangirls/boys life.

,,I know they love me eventhough they don’t know me. I know”

Some people laugh at me because I love One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer. I don’t know why.. I mean they also love something regardless whether it is football, dancing or something else.

And I also wonder when People say that they are gay. Let’s say they are gay.. it would mean thousands of girls are crazy about a few gay guys and not about you?!  Take it! (-Eleanor Calder)

I think it’s important for young girls or women  to have something you can hold on in your life. Something not everyone has or not your friend or parents.

Idols, whether it is a band, a single singer or something else,  can bring people together.

because of their music you can sometimes find back together with a "lost" friend or a family member you never talked to a lot.

Maybe the whole friendships who’ve been

 caused by the own idols will last a life time.

You never know and never say never :)

If you find someone who isn’t fake and with who you can fangirl over the time and laugh about the same things, you can call yourself blessed.

They save lives. They probably don’t know it but it’s in their music.  It doesn’t matter in what situation you are now, you’ll find your perfect song which will fit the situation. And it also doesn’t matter how you’re feeling now. If you feel alone, lost or whatever you’ll find a perfect song and you will think it is just written for you. And just the thought makes you happy.

Some people who aren’t fans won’t understand or comprehend it. But it is.

Standing outsides will probably wonder why do ‘’ the band obsessed girls’’ always scream when a song comes on TV, whether it is just the background music.

Ladies and Gentmen...THIS IS FANGIRLING!

I think it’s not a phase. Even when bands break up, the guys go their own ways and the fandome ends, everybody will remind this time. The time you were obsessed with ,,just a band’’, the time you slept out of areas just to get inside and be in the 1^st row to see the boys you love.

Some Fans never saw them in real or talk to them, but they love them more than everything. They are always there for somebody when someone else bullies them.

Never leave a fandom just because someone told you to. :)

So... I hope you guys have enjoyed my blog post on bobis blog. If not, I’m sorryL

I’ve done my best for this and don’t judge me if there are any mistakes. I’m not English.
