Old towns of COTE D'AZUR

The saying "You will realize it's worth, once it is gone" is so true. Well "You appreciate things, you don't have" is also true. I am not used to visiting old towns. (I don't really know if the first district of Vienna can be called "old town") In my 4 nights and 5 days trip, I got to see a lot of old and new towns in southern France. My friends wanted to see the old towns and me who had no idea what the-must-see in the city was, just followed the alphas. Pretty amazing, how the natives could preserve the old buildings or the old town in general. Eze Village and St. Paul de Vence, also Menton were the most laidback. Eze Village is unique, because it's on top of a cliff, the houses are made of stones, I don't know people must have carved their houses in the 16th century) The other old towns were too much of a touristspot already. I even wondered, if the people living in the village, were okay with the fact that their "territory" is becoming more of a tourist spot and lose some of their privacy. I remember a plate saying, that entering the house is prohibited. Simply because "normal" people were living inside and it was not a museum. I so wanted to know how it looked like in their small and narrow house. You could see from the outside, that their rooms must be really small - even smaller compared to those in the typical english houses. The path was so narrow that it was not passable for the cars, so the people had to walk the "hill" up and the down. What a condition they got. I think it is cute. I liked it there. When you look out of the window all you can see is mountain, other houses and the ocean. Fresh air. Unlike in the modern city were you get to breath in exhaust gases, and one day exhale the same gases. The old towns have both - nature and native buildings. Wish the places stop being marketed and used as tourist spot. Oh and in Eze, the Jardin Exotique was beautiful. haha. 



I think that's it for now about my NICE trip. 

Love, Maj. 

PS.: In southern france, if you don't own your own yacht or at least boat, you are a NOBODY. Boats everywhere, ports everywhere. <3

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...
