how a piñata can help against a broken heart

Last weekend I started a new happiness project: Making a piñata. I never imagined that making one could spark so beautiful feelings. Until now, happiness for me could be achieved in different way, here a sample of them:

Being home with my family and do nothing
Cooking and eating for/with friends
Hugging a baby
Travelling by car with Hannes
Chatting with somebody and not worrying about time
Eating chocolate
Being trapped by a good book
Kissing the girl I like on the forehead
Having a glass of prosecco on a Friday afternoon
Taking a long hot shower
Hearing good music on the ipod on a train while enjoying the landscape
Going to the cinema (alone or with a good friend)
Playing the drums
Presenting something to an audience (research resukts, a piece of music or a movie)
Playing with a child and making it laugh

I discovered that making a piñata for Luisa (Innsbruck’s cutest girl) is something I really enjoy; although it’s hard work, I have been working on it for 3 days and it’s not yet done! However, this weekend I will meet Luisa and Kathrin (her mom) and Luisa will break her piñata and get all candies, chocolates, peanuts and the heart-shaped confetti and will laugh and smile.

Thinking of it makes me happy, very happy.

how mole can help against a broken heart

A couple of months ago I wrote on my blog about "sentimental chastity", a status I
wanted to reach...but, as usual, something went wrong. I meet someone and
without noticing I started liking her. I think it was not only because of the way
she is, but I also love her sense of humour, maturity (something I may never possess), and she is a pretty good dancer.

It is well known that I make public many topics of my personal life through this
blog and by uploading all kinds of fotos on facebook; but this time it makes no
sense to explain the series of events which lead to a "no-chance-with-her"-situation. I will only say that the chances of starting a relationship with her were never big, but now they are simply non-existing, and my
behaviour (wich sometimes resembles the one of a pubert) played an essential role on that.

Ever since I came back to Austria in March I felt the need for a change; this week I am paiting my room, I will change some furniture and starting tomorrow, I will ride my bike to work in order to do some exercise (and finally get rid of the extra fat on my abdomen and boobs). I think that the summ of these small changes in my life will make everything better.

By the way, tomorrow I am cooking along with Isabella; she's coming to learn how to
prepare my 28-ingredient-recipe for mole. Cooking and eating with friends makes me
extremely happy, and tomorrow I will be cooking mole for the first time this year. Want an overview of the ingredients? 5 kinds of seeds/nuts, 4 sorts of dried chillies, 6 different vegetables, brown cane-sugar, cacao and cinammon...mmmh!

World Championship, here I come!

Last week our short film festival took place and it was wonderful! We had lots of activities: a video-workshop at the university, a DJ-Session on one of Innsbruck’s most visited squares (youtube-link), a sold-out film competition at Innsbruck’s quality cinema theatre, a screening with international films, a magnificent concert with Mambo Kurt (LINK), a music-video screening and an acoustic session with Kamil Szlachta.

This weekend will be different: In a couple of hours the Mr Hyde in me will wake up and take over my body and mind. I actually don’t like sports, I never exercise and I never watch sport on T.V.

I can only recognise the faces of 10 football players (including Maradona, Pelé, Beckham and Sánchez)...but in the coming minutes I will turn into a wild football-fan. This dark side started in 1998 and it comes back every 4 years and it only occurs when the Selección Mexicana has a match.

I already got coronas, tortilla chips, avocado, coriander, flour-tortillas and cheese. World Championship, here I come (from my living room)
