and i went thru the classrooms, when we had a break
and i found this:

DISCOVERY OF THE DAY :




wuahahahahaha...i was like O_O
YAP this was pinned on a wall of a classroom
it's a collage, i think some (Taiwanese..?) student must have made it
about music ..haha
great thingy ^-^ haha if that student would know that i post it right now on my blog
wuaha
sorry for the bad quality of the pic, i just had my cellphone with me to make a pic..

i thought this was worth an entry :D


PS: this night i am going to watch a soccer game for the first time in my life
live, and REAL MADRID plays (yeah ronaldo and his collegues)
CANNOT WAIT

kisses...soon more pics ^^
isaaaaa~

dear Lj-friends,

I doubt this will read anybody, cause I was inactive the past
month, because of huge problems, i first had to
solve until coming back to normal

As some of you might know, I am in Spain now,
to be an AuPair for this year
It resulted,as you could read in my entry over one month ago, that
i was really unhappy and unsatisfied in my sitattion with that
family. So I decided to change family, which was a pretty hard decision, because
I was never sure what to do, if that is the right decsion, because you never really
know how the next family will be like, until you live with that family

My head was full of thoughts, adavantages, disadvantages, should i risk it?
and there were really points, where i was at the bottom, and I could not go on
I was so sad, cause the work was horrible for me, and I just wanted to
go back and hug my Mom.
But then i thought realstically WHAT TO DO NOW?
Do you really want to live like this in THIS family for 8months more?
and my answer to that question was: NO
and this is why I had to become active and do something against my sitation...

Now I am living already for 2 weeks in a new family, it took a long time
finding a new family, moving, getting to know the new house and the new people,
saying goodbye to the old house and the old family etc.
but finally i did it
and i am happy i did it
t resulted, until now, that the new family and the new work have to do here, is alot better
and i am feeling happy again,and this is the most important thing

so i hope you can understand that because of all the stress, pressure and
thoughts I was not active at all, not on this Lj nor i could leave lots of comments on your LJ
I APOLOGIZE

but i am back, to fangirl!
YEAH! THIS IS WHAT I MISSED ALLLLLLLLL THE TIME!!!


*FANGIRLING; FANGIRLING; FANGIRLING*

sorry....


long ago i last did an entry, but right now i just have to make an entry
in which i can be pissed off, cause rigth now i am , why??

cause i had to work today like 8 hours, and i am soo dead and tired...
the thing is, that i have to work so much, while i hear that
other au pairs have to work only like 5 hours a day and earn the same..

my family is okay, the girls are nice, the thing is only that the mother is really
unappealing to me, i dont know why, but it resulted that she is..
and i have to get along with her...that is bad

i have to bring the children to school in the morning-ok
they come home to eat (they are picked up by our housemaid)
i have to bring them to ther afternoon lessons-hm
i have to pick them up from their afternoon lessons

every way is like 20 minutes but with the gilrs its 30 minutes and exhausing
between bringing them to school (me coming back home) and getting again prepared to
pick them up i have like 45 minutes to eat...
i need 30 minutes to eat, so i have like 15 minutes to relax...during 8 hours of woooorkkk
and today i sat down on the sofa these 15 minutes and then EXACTLY in that 15 minutes off, my
hostmom came, and said, that i should overtake the ironing from our housemaid, cause
she is really exhausted always...HAHAHAHAHA
AND MEEEEEEE?? okay i appreciate our mousemaid's work, cause she is really
working alot, but i these 15 minutes off, i should overtake her ironing?
OMG

working hours?
in the morning bring them all in all 1 hour
at 2.30pm (when i come back from my school) until 9.30 i work (these are 7 hours+the one hour in the morning=8)
because when they vome back from school at five, i have to accomapny them to their activities, like
for example swimming course..and meanwhile i have to do the shopping in the supermarket, and then pick them up
form their activity
later i have to wash them, prepare them, help with the dinner, i have to see that they wash their teeth etc ec, until 9 or 9.30 they go to bed!
it is very exhausting
other au pairs, just have to pick them up at 5 (because normally the kids eat at school, but we are living only 20 minutes away from the school, so they come home to eat) and g with them to a park or play with them-not me
i am walking and around all the time, and i feel very controlled by the mom, i gotta say
i feel uncomofrtable when she is there

i am supposed to work 30 hours a week+one evening babysitting
so my working times are monday-thursday 7hrs and friday 2hrs and in the evening babysitting (which means no parties fridays)
and weekends are free...
but today i worked 8 and i didnt have a real break (otherwise i would say..ok)
...i will observe that!


i don't know what to do
i talked to another good au pair friend about that and with my mom, and i decided to
see how it develops, i eman it is ust the 2nd day that the afternoon lessons started and
the activities as well, so i hope i will get used to that, or...or...what?

sorry that this is not a HAPPY entry..

kisses

i am already looking forward to the weekend!
then i see my friends ! ^^

heeeyyy

u can give them a kiss XDDDSISA

A friend recently showed me the music of Adam Lambert who made the 2nd place in this year's
AMERICAN IDOL SEASON,and i found this pic of him, which actually
looks soooooo much like Jiro Wang, at first i thought that it was Jiro XDDD

I know there is a pic of the true Jiro out there, which is kinda the same, but i just don't find it now
I just thought it was funny to show.... hahaha




don't u think they have similarities???
AT LEAST IN THIS PIC !?!?!?!?!
though he is not asian...

I just cannot find this ONE jIro pic that looks kinda the same, so i just show u another
for those who know jiro, i think u agree?? XDDD






ohh check out adam's version of MAD WORLD
I listened to it, when I heard about MJ's death
very touching

just came home from a friend's birthday party....

In the car back home, my friend and me we were singing to a Michael Jackson song on the radio.

I come online in MSN, and my other good friend told me Michael Jackson is dead

OH MY GOD! SHOCK!!!

dear lovely leehom, when i at first saw the picture, i was like "I NEEEEED TO MAKE AN ICON OUT OF IT"
And i wasnted to make it dark and mysterious, and i think it turned out well, because the blending emphasizes
his muscles..and the back looks like a sky...both wasn't intended, those icons where u are not planning to do
anything, always turn out the best ^^



this icon of awesome ayu actually is a good example as well...i was just playing around, and i like this one
cause I kept it simply, without great blending tricks and complicated selective colouring etc.
and i nevertheless like it, and i called it "elegant ayu", cause she looks like a queen there ^^


YAY FOR JJ!!! i still remeber that I tried put a tutorial and it turned out hooooooooorrible, and i was like ò.ó
noooo, i checked everything and i did everything great, but the pic looked still horrible..and then i wanted to cancel the
project, but then i tried out a darker picture and just pasted this layer with this picture onto photoshop
and that icon is what came out....pretty happy i did not cancel, but tried out a darker pic ^^ and this JJ pic is sexeehhh


this one is actually really recent...a while ago my I talked with my taiwanese friend about the new theme for twent_icontest 
because I was running out of ideas, and he suggested me this "half face", i was ok with that, but as i always keep it
I needed an example to post, so i created my first half-face icon, which should actually only serve as an example
for the icontest community...but this one in my opinion turned out very well, so i decided to keep it in my collection ^-^
and arron is just adooooooooooooreable!!


oh yea this Jolin one has as well a great story...
I made this on a day where I came home very early and my mum was working all day, so i had the whole day
to learn and study, cause my major exams (which are now over already!!!) were just around the corner...
and actually it would have been better to study, but i coooooooooooooooooould NOT,
iwas soo lazy the whole day, and i wanted to create some cool new icons in PS, but i was sooo unproductive, that
no more icon than this one came out
i was kinda down that day, cause i had so much time to make my duties, but didnt, and then not even in PS i was able to make something..
all day...i also made an entry on this super unproductive day....called lazy isa , were i even mentioned the icon

heyyy i seem kinda very active lastly
YAY!!
Thanks for reading

isa ^^

TODAY I HAVE MY GRADUATION PROM


YAAAAAAAAAY!!!  for the first time i got my make up profesionally done

but it's ok, i am satisfied ^^ hehe
and later i dress up and then i am gonna partyyyy all night long YAY !! ^^
 okiee....taking pics for sure, will let u see then!!

I already got my Abitur certificate ^^

YAY

see yaaaa

haii


some of you might now think O.o what?
And maybe some of you already know that I plan on doing an AuPair year,
now after my graduation from school.
Yeah I did it, never ever school anymore, and before i start stdying at a university
I wanna make more experiences and just live my life a lil bit, without
stopping to learn, nor chill or anything.
So since i was 14 I dreamt of doing an AupAIR year in Spain
AuPair- that means that a girl, like me, lives for like 10 months (sometimes less sometimes more,it depends)
in a host family in the country of the girl's wish-like Spain.
This host family provides yo your own room, gives you pocketmoney and a secure home for this period of time.
In return the AuPair girl has to take care of the children,like babysitting when the parents are working,
or if the kids are older, bring them to school, make homework etc.
Normally it always depends on the family, which tasks the AuPair has to do, some familys want their AuPair to cook, make
some light homework,like cleaning etc. and some just need somebody to take care of the kids some hours during the
day, when the kids come from school. It is some kind of job, cause u earn a certain amount of money.

And the motivation for the AuPair is to learn the language of the country, because when the kids are at school
or you have ur own sparetime you can visit a school, where you learn the language
and when you go outside the doors, you NEED to speak, because you are in the country, and there
is no way to not speak! This is the best practice!
And after i ended my 10 month stay I know the the language perfectly, so this means getting to know a "new" culture, a new life, making experience, getting to know new people (because you also get to know other au pairs who come from every part of Europe)
and yea...just making a life experience

Well and I will go to Spain's CAAAAAAAAAPITAL, which is awesome, beautiful and exciting MADRID !




YAP YAP! a family wants me to be their AuPair for the next 10 months and they live in Madrid, which is a great metrople of europe
I have been there, and I know that I was sooo enthusiastic, because this city is really really beautiful!
My au pair agency (u need an agency which arrange the communication between au pair and host family) takes care of me
Well I think i got a great family, so far as I know, because they have 2 girls, who go to school and are mostly over the day over there
a little boy of 1 year...but the housekeeping girl (imagine there is a housekeeping girl, so no need to clean or cook or something)
takes mainly care of the baby!
I have talked to the current au pair, and she became really important to me and on my decisions, because
she tells me how the family is, what the kids are like, what will be my tasks and that very honestly
i ca ask her anything, which is really cool! And she says its a good family, and so i have no other choice than just trust her
but IN CASE i might not get along well with the family i can always switch the family, with the help of the agency!^^
That is cool, though i think it wont be needed!


I already know the langauge quite good, cause my dad is spanish
but in fact i dont know how to speak it fluently and that is what i want to change, in connection
with gainign more independece~ the au pair thingy seems the best opportunity and now
is the only time i can do it, between graduation and begin of the studies...

I will then go to a spanish language school to learn the language on a grammatical base...
I am really excited about this trip, but I am soooooo, and i mean it, sooooo scared
of the day I have to say goodbye to all my friends, and especially to my parents
but i know 10 months are ten months and not eternity!!!
...it's not eternity......

I will get to know lots of people, will have alot of fun, it will be a life experience, and
boys and girls i have wireless lan in my room, so i will always update!!!

just wanted to tell, on the first of septermber my journey begins...
butt before i give a farewell party, with all my freinds, i will extremly miss...
but okay....-> it's not eternity, right???


Thanks for the attention...quite long i know!!!

Spain's waiting for me ^____^

 

hello my fellas~~~~

well 2 days ago I posted an entry, where i told u everything about a concert
I went recently (tomorrow already one week ;___;)
And actually I thought that it wouldnt really interest you, because this time I didnt feed my Asia addiction,
this concert was held by my favorite and very talented  Spanish singer DAVID BISBAL
I really love evey kind of music, might it be English, Jpanaese, Korean, Mandarin or even Spanish,
as long as IT SOUNDS GOOD ^^
And i Have Spnaish blood, since my dad is Spanish ^___^

I got alot of reception from u guys, which I really appreciate, and some of you even asked me
for recommendations and said that they actually like his music
and OF COURSE i am always willing to spread my music all over the globe, that is why i made a self-compilation
of some of the best Bisbal songs, where I combine his best rock/pop songs and ballads but also
songs, which combines modern music with spanish folklore, which means that it includes many rhythems, and oriental
elements! So if you are open to new music, in this case SPANISH MUSIC, you should try him out

I am always happy when people are open to new things, but not everyone's taste
is satisfied with this kind of music !

let's go

my self-made cover, nothing extraordinary, I just LOVE this pic so much that I had to use it ^-^



01- Ave Maria
02- Dígale (Tell her)
03- Buleria (A Spanish Folklore Dance)
04- Angel de la Noche (Angel of the night)
05- Oye el BOOM (hear the BOOM)
06- Silencio (Silence)
07- Torre de Babel (Tower of Babel)
08- Amar es lo que quiero (To love is what I want)
09- Soldado de papel (Soldier of Paper)
10- Premonicion(foreboding)
11- Torre de Babel (REMIX VERSION)
12- I Hate That I Love You (feat. Rihanna)
13- La Actriz (The Actress)
14- Sueña (from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
15- Todo por Ustedes (all for you)



OMG.... I just noticed that I accidently put TORRE DE BABEL two times into it
sorry~~~~~^^
I actaully wanted to put in "AQUI Y AHORA", now I have to do it seperately
...dumb isa >_>

awwwww~~~~ concerts are really awesome, aren't they??


me and my friends waiting in front of the yet closed doors...
still 2 hours to go..>___>

I rarely have the chance to go to a concert here in Germany, because as most of u might know
I just dont like German music or not so much Western bands, except of the big stars, like Britney or Justin or Beyonce, but
they rarely come to Germany either....and as we all know my Asian idols give concerts in Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia and so on...
which is ASIA, and i live in EUROPE >___> that is bad for going to concerts...

ISAAAAAA IS BACK ! ! !



okay, this means a brand new start boys and girls
I finished all my super hard major exams, and now i cannot do more
than just wait until the results come out !
And how are u ? ?

So I made a new layout, focused on my favorite female artists of Asia,supposingly
AYU, BoA, and my lovely Rainie;)
I hope you like it! na dthis time I didnt want HELLO KITTY to be missed
I hope u guys like it ^-^
Actually this layout is pretty similar to the other two, maybe u remember, but i just couldnt help it,
it is just my girlish style, that I like the most, so I ended up creating something similar again XDD ^^

so now I am back and I wanted again APOLOGIZE to you because I left u all behind, I
nearly did not check out your entries anymore, and I have to chnage that soon ^-^
so I will be commenting pretty much the next days, I really hope that u still remember me, and know who
I am xDD

Well, seriously I was thinking about a friends-cut
because I have soo many friends, that I think it is hard to keep up with everyone
Actually I dont like friend cuts, but it is just so unfair to some of you who are actually
commenting so much in here, and I cannot be so focused on yours
so did you ever do a friends cut?
well I have to think about that another time, but not now

right now I am so happy that I manage to customize the layout,which I could hardly find, one that
satisfies my high demands~~
(and whoa, see I have a seperator and a footer...this lil banners at the end of the page and between entries~ xDDD)

okay, so let's keep it up guys!! SEMI HIATUS- GOODBYE!!

greetings and hugs from isaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~
(yes that is me in fact..)

hey...
Like some of you might already have noticed, I am not so active these past weeks
I noticed that as well, and I am sorry my dear F-list to neglet you
But I am really osrry, it is just that in these weeks and iwthin the next ones
I cannot afford it to be as active as usual, with updating and checking out your entries, and
of course comment....that is why I decided to go on semi-hiatus at least until the beginning of June,
so that everyone knows about it, and hopefully you´re not upset about my less-and less commenting
but there's a reason:
In exactly one month my final exams for my graduation will be written and i have to learn learn learn...
These exams are the most important ones in my life so far, and its also very important for me
to pass them with well grades...
I will come online and once in a while post and entry or check out your new posts, but not as usual as
it used to be...
I will also run my community as usual, that's still okie~

thanks for understanding, and as soon as this horror is over, I will catch up :-)


kisses isa ^-^

lol-> in case somebody wants to link it ^-^

I just cannot get enough it...
i love to search for mostly songs and their covers
so look what i just found out, how sounds a song in a different language?
That is what I am always curious about ^-^

(ahh...i know its been like a hundred years since I last posted up something, and
I am sorry, but as u know my exams ._. there is one major exam left, and then
i hope that afterwards i can catch up with u, my dear f-list and if u dont comment to here
its ok, i understand, i just wanted to let u know that i still am alive ;_____;
okies~ after i managed this terrible ABITUR (major exams) I start off with everything new...
new layout and stuffs I think...=)

tomorrow i start learning again, after 3 days of chilling (Actually i wasnt allowed to allow myself three days off x_____________x)

okay now my songs...i love it....XDD
