Yes, I should be studying but this post will be kept short! Since I haven't really posted a recap-of-2012 post, due to lack of time during the holidays, I just want to share what I have planned for this year. A dear friend of mine showed me this and I just think - since 365 days are quite long and lots of stuff can happen which you might just forget - it's a good idea to keep them noted, literally said. So, I decided to make this 2013 jar where all of the good things that happen to me this year will be jarred up in there, ready to be read at New Year's Eve. How about you join the fun?

ICON OF THE MONTH JANUARY: TAYLOR SWIFT

Fresh start in the new year, with a fresh new episode of a newly named 'Icon of the Month' for the year 2013, which is basically only the continuation of my 'Idol of the Month' series. The reason of the renaming is, that Idol doesn't quite suit the meaning I am aiming at. This series of course has a lot to do about Role Models and about my admiration for them out of various reasons.

I am fully aware about the headlines she has been making about the amount of guys she dated in a spantime of 3 years, however, I do not admire her in that sense but more about her music. Everyone knows what a musical genius Taylor Swift is. The reason why I admire her so much is, because she has a very good way with words. She can put the most complex situations with words as simple as A, B, C and I admire her for that. Furthermore, her ability to reach to a tons of girls (me included) with her lyrics is pure talent. So, check out her latest album 'Red' that I cannot get enough of. Here you can find some of my personal favourites.

PARAMORE - NOW: iTunes January 22nd

Paramore is back and I am excited! Their new song 'Now' is out on iTunes on 22. January and their self-titled Album on 09. April! Yeah, you can guess what you can get me for my birthday :D I am waaay stoked!

BABY BE MINE by MICHAEL JACKSON | CHOREOGRAPHY by MORIELLE BUENAFLOR & VICENTE SAMUEL CALA VII

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I actually cannot believe that I haven't posted this yet, but due to a lot of stuff going at the moment it must have slipped my mind! I hope you all had a great Christmas, a great New Year's Eve and of course great holidays inbetween.
As you can see, I totally think it is necessary for me to say it once again: My new year's resolution is definitely trying to update my blog regularly. With that said, I hope you like my new layout and 'logo'.

But now to these two lovely people:
Over the past years I was lucky enough to have gotten to know a lot of talented people. Which brings me to these two talented dancers. They inspire me in so many ways and I am glad that they make the best out of their talent. This piece is very creative and fresh and I am glad that I can share it with you. Enjoy!

CHOICES THAT KILL THE COMMUNITY by ANNIE LEONOR

I have had a lot of realisations the past couple of weeks and these made it even clearer about how thankful I am to be in this community to help out and to take care of everyone. It gives me strength to be around these inspiring people. However, this following entry is something that every community could need. Sometimes in life, things don't go well enough on your own. That's why it is even more important to have a group of people behind your back that are strong enough with and for you. But of course, everyone has to do its piece.

A great sister of mine held a talk about this topic and I would gladly share it with you. It's in German, but I guess you've all heard of it already. Thanks Annie for letting me post this. Enjoy!
