WHATEVER YOU DO IN LIFE WILL BE INSIGNIFICANT...

...BUT IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO IT!
CAUSE NOBODY ELSE WILL

Has it ever appeared to you, that no matter what you do and how hard you try, you keep taking the WRONG decisions. What is worse- you know it's wrong before you do it and that it won't lead to anything good...but you still do it... Because you want to check if there was some minimal chance that you were wrong about the WRONG decision. And hopefully it could turn out a good one at the end.
But it doesn't!!! At least at first it doens't look like that, then, after you have suffered the consequences, you realize it was wrong but it has made you undestand something...ugh...so my question is HOW DO YOU STOP THAT?!?!?!?

Or probably you shouldn't stop it- the bigger the mistake, the harder to forget the lesson, right?!?!?

And to wrap up this confusing part of my I-am-so-sleepy-that-I-don't-know-what-I'm-writing-about-monologue, I would like to put this quote from that show I used to watch (which got boring after the 2nd season)... concerning mistakes:

‘’LILLY:-Come on, it’s an adventure!

TED:-No, it’s not an adventure, it’s a MISTAKE!!!

LILLY:-Ok! YES, IT’S A MISTAKE! I know it’s a mistake, but there are certain things in life, where you know it’s a mistake, but you don’t really know it’s a mistake, because the only way to really know it’s a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say:``Yeap, it was a mistake!’’
… So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because you go your whole life not really knowing that something was a mistake or not! ...And- damn it!- I’ve made NO MISTAKES! I’ve done all this-my life, my relationships, my carrier mistakefree!’’

Well in her case it was a mistake, she left her boyfriend, moved out of New York fallowing her dream to become a famous artist...and she failed...

So forget about what I said above...it's all just some senseless crap that had to go out of my tiny little head...

Now: the model's blog part:

My fabulous job took me always to the north of Europe this month- to Stockholm and Sylt...Not exactly with top priority on my I-WANNA-SEE-BEFORE-I-DIE-places-list, so I am grateful I had the chance to experience a bit of them...I mean if you fallow the scheme: ARRIVAL-SLEEP-WORK-SLEEP-DEPART, there is not much for "seeing" or experiencing" left...but hotel breakfast is always a "highlight", airports have nice shops too, and a swimming pool and sauna is already a "WOW", especially if you have time to actually go there!

Now, Stockholm, to start with, (looks like lots of water from above)




surprised me with 2 things: they had some shops open till 21h on Sunday, including SEVEN ELEVEN, the popular chain of convenient stores widespread around Asia(+1 point for Sweden)...where you could find THE BEST CANDIES.

I've always thought the best were in Germany, but see, even I was wrong...(+1 more point for Sweden)

Next day turned out to be a 14 hours working day, a shooting in an medieval castle,90 km outside of Stockholm



... it didn't look that old though




Breakfast...

Looks like Swedish people, such as Bulgarians, like to put jam on top of a cheese sandwich :) Germans hate it. (make 3 points for the Swedish)


The team was great, everybody was really nice and careering (got me more from those candies-but don't tell my booker, for god sake!) and very professional!
But let's face it:
- being dressed only with a skirt, a top and mostly bear feet,(...meanwhile the electricity went off-no heating almost throughout the whole shooting...)
-after having spent 2-3 hours sitting on a chair while getting your hair and make-up done…
-and thеn working for so long without a proper heater in a house made of stone…at the end of the day you pretty much are a stone yourself…

oh and there was also no bathroom inside the building, but in a tiny little house outside



...Now, we all know how being cold effects your bladder (you wanna pee all the time) but at the same time you wanna drink hot chocolate and tea all the time(in order to warm up) and monitor the intake of liquids in order to reduce your "trips" to the bathroom...

Who said modeling was easy????...You need excellent organizational skills and concentration!!!! LOL


At the end of the day I was totally frozen, and if there were any machine guns lying around, I was gonna enter the top news of the day as the model who got mad and killed everybody around! Sorry guys, wrong place wrong time...



Besides, what really freaked me out, was the fact that there was NO music while working. And I really need some Music to keep my spirits high. Music is the first and ABSOLUTELY obligatory basic tool on photo shoots! Remember that! At some point all I was hearing were steps on the wooden floor...which, if you listen to all day, gets as annoying as a constantly dropping, broken water tab.

For all that, I am convinced that the pictures are gonna be great, as they mostly turn out so, when the poor model is truly suffering... (no irony, I am serious...)

I shouldn't forget to mention the greatest variety of Absolut flavours you could imagine in your life! Maybe that could help me to warm up a bit next time...joking,of course(should I give them an extra point for that???) It was really great working there and I am truly excited to see that magazine!!!



SYLT, for those who don't know is a "posh" island in the North sea





...and having a house there is a certain sign that you belong to high-class German society. So, whenever you dreamed of a 2-million beach house: did it look something like that???



...Nope, mine neither...or like that???



but some other people's 2 million euro "beach" houses apparently do...Don't worry, first get that money together, there is a whole village of those little houses to choose from...You will find the right one for you, I am sure




Luckuly (or not), I was staying at ***** spa resort. Well, at least its roof was not made out of straw....




BUT sometimes "good" service can get a bit annoying. Especially, when on the short walk from your room to the restaurant, there will be somebody to open each of the 5 doors inbetween for you, to wish you "Wunderschönen guten Morgen" and "Guten Appetit" like 5 times, and on top of that asks you as many times if you needed anything else...like filling up your cup of coffee for the 3rd time...




Don't get me wrong, I love excellent service, but sometimes it has to be a little bit invisible...otherwise you are afraid to go out of your room, cause you might bump into one of "them"...the super friendly staff...

There was a nice in/outdoor pool with sea water...and a sauna!



Actually, a whole "sauna town": eucalyptus sauna- 75 degrees and 40% humidity; lemon grass sauna-65 degrees, 25% humidity; Turkish steam sauna- 45 degrees, 60% humidity; steam bath...biosauna... (..you got the idea...) + some other steam rooms that I was even afraid to look into! The good thing was- this job was not quite as stressful as that described above. For 3 days I had my evenings free to enjoy the pool and the sauna!

ATTENTION!

There is the catch- German sauna is NUDE! NO swim suits allowed! And no separated lady's and men's sauna...it all goes together. And since it has happened to me before (when I was sitting in the sauna with my swim suit and they came to tell me to take it off...and I left)...I knew this time wouldn't work either. RULES!

But seriously, what's the big deal?!?! If you wanna walk around naked, fine, I'll keep my eyes "wide shut"! But you can't force me to get naked just to be fair to everybody else. And seriously, it seems like, for some reason, especially men above certain age, really enjoy walking around naked. Women mostly wrap a towel around, but grandpas put their towels like scarfs around the neck and walk as if they were some hot football players. I always looked aside, but still you can't help noticing..the face at least. Imagine how awkward it is when you see those people having coffee and croissants at breakfast next morning...Or is it just me who feels it's not nice?!?!? Quite disturbing actually...Well, at the end, the only sauna I went to was the Finnish one- 90 degrees, 10% humidity...Guess why- there was nobody inside...and I had to run to get to the bench and put my towel on it- you don't wanna get your feet burned, do you???...that hot it was...

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn

Anybody wondered what has bulgarianprincess been doing lately? Yes, me too.





Well, she terminated her facebook experiment after three not as painful as expected weeks of abstinence...And it was only when her booker told her that he has uploaded some of her new modeling pictures on his facebook page when she couldn't help logging in again and checking on the comments...Bad excuse, right??? She thought so too. Self-absorption will kill ya!



Once the facebook-issue was finished, she went seeking for new adventures and signed up for the 30-days-Bikram-Yoga-Challenge...Not less painful, but very very good and healthy painful, kind of "happy painful". That explains why she hasn't been around much, since this challenge took a lot of her time. But gave her a lot of energy too. Now she could write tons about sinking in the "living room of your body and listening to the peaceful silence inside" but people would think she went completely nuts, so she would prefer to keep that part to herself.



Meanwhile it's springtime, in case you haven't noticed! (If it is springtime in Hamburg, then probably all the rest of the world has already noticed it much earlier.) But this is the best time to be here. The difference to other cities in spring is, that once the sun is shining, EVERYBODY is extremely happy about it: flip flops-, sunglasses-, ice-cream- and BBQ in the park- season is opened, although it's only 18, not 38 degrees...(and the day after will be raining again)





And Hamburger Dom (the Easter fair with the roller coasters) is over. That was fun too. Not as FujiQ, but at least another reason to go out, shout, scream and be scared...





Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"
