Cote d'azur and the graveyards

So I'm kinda still having my NICE hangover. Another NICE-fascination for me, are the burialsites, graveyard or simply cemetery in the old cities of the Cote D'Azur. I never thought that I'll visit cemeteries in another country, I haven't seen a cemetery in Vienna from the inside. haha. I was so fascinated, I super liked the cemetery in Menton, which was so high up that you had to walk a lot but the view was magical. You had an overview over parts of Menton and the ocean. While I was standing and staring at the graves, I was thinking "If ever these people won't make it to heaven, they have a fantastic view and are atleast almost in heaven"

These graves are really old, some from the 19th century or even from the 18th century. A lot of foreigners, who died during war or who retired in Menton. Meaningful trip. Who would have thought I'd appreciate a cemetery? I wonder if these people still have relatives, who take care of their "remains"?.. would be sad if they don't have any caretaker.  




this is my favourite. it's soooo undescribable. A sculpture with a lot of meanings.








this is what I mean. You have a great view.

Yes Menton, you are quite interesting.

Much love,

traveller.

Hello world I am back

Hello Blogspot World, I am back. I don't know exactly if anyone follows my blog. But I missed writing in here. So I thought why not come back and let your mind talk. Here I am, sitting in my room listening to Justin Bieber and typing. As I've checked my last post was January 2012. That's a loooooong time. In this one year and almost a half SO MANY things happened. Yet everytime when friends ask me what I have been up to, I tell them "nothing special". Maybe because it is not that interesting to update them. Wait let me think: Last year I started with Basketball, then joined the Vienna Avengers, a group of ladies who didn't know each other AT ALL but managed to win the Filipino Basketball in Wien Championship. A S E V E N - zero. I am not bragging, but I also received individual trophies. Three officials and one inofficial. MVP 2013! :-) Dreams do come true. I never - in my wildest imaginations - thought of becoming the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. Actually Bask...

Your Actions define you.

Senti hits Have you ever thought about doing anything you want, because it's your life and you don't care what other people will think about you? I certainly did and still do. My parents raised me with an important note that people will judge you with your actions and it will reflect on how my parents raised me. Me, being the good (which I am not, but people think I am) girl and trying to avoid problems, understood the advice wrong - when I was younger.  Human beings are not perfect. Noone is and will be. Friends think I am so perfect, nice and all. But I also have my bad side, once in a while. Which is not bad at one point. It depends on how you act and react. You can get mad. You can drop everything and quit. But you can also stay calm and let the storm pass. I remember my boss telling me that I should inhale and exhale and that I am doing a good job in keeping calm.  In my point of view everyone can live an almost perfect life, even if they have annoying, contr...
