Blog movement

I decided to move my blog to wordpress.com because there I can protect my entries with a password and I just like the layout and everything more than here. My blog can now be found at http://isyinireland.wordpress.com/

I will protect entries with a password from time to time and if you want to read it just ask me for the password and I might give it to you but I might not.haha.

Cheers

Jody Has A Hitlist

On October 30th I'm going to the Jody Has A Hitlist concert at The Academy in Dublin. God, how I missed those cute little concerts at those small clubs. 200-300 people at most. That's just great (:
Here's a video of Jody Has A Hitlist called "Boy Caught Envy":

Something new

Since my last really informative blogentry it has been quite a long time and I'm very sorry about that so here we go again.

- My 21st birthday was on Thursday (OMG I'm becoming old)
- The girls and I are planning the next Bank Holiday Weekend
- I bought new shoes (have a look here) and they were reduced from 65€ to 30€. So my gran's birthday money invested REALLY good hehe
- My Dad+girlfriend were here and they brought my brother with them (of course nobody told me he wa coming 'though my hostdad almost told me by accident)
- one of my friends from Germany was here as well and it was great I hope you had a great time, too, Tobi
- I found Saskia's blog so now you can find it in the links on the right side of the blog

I am so very sorry but I'm out of ideas. Next time is gonna be a longer blogentry. I promise!

Cheers

YAY YAY YAY!!!

Lads, I have a laptop again (: Just got it for my birthday. So there will be A LOT new blogentries in the next few days. BUt for now I have to take a nap (:

Cheers!

About a broken toe and a sick Isy

Jeez, those past two weeks were...incredible...hurtful... (:

On Friday two weeks ago, I broke one of my toes. I came from outside and I wanted to go into my room. It was raining so my shoes were wet. As I went into my room there was a big spider sitting in my doorway. I took a big step, slipped and fell on my right foot. Result: broken, nice black&blue&yellow looking toe (:  My toe still hurts when I walk ): Very nice. NOT!

Last Saturday, I wanted to meet a new Au Pair in town but my body was totally against it. I woke up at quarter to 8 just to discover that I was too hot under my blanket but too cold without it and that every part of my body hurt. I was spending the whole weekend at home due to a flu. It was SO boring!!!

I think I annoyed you enough now (:

Cheers

New girls and so on

Hi y'all,

Actually I don't really know what I should write. I'm at the local library, T. is next to me in his buggy. We've just been at the parent-toddler-group. It's funny how everyone thinks that I'm his mother. I always have to explain that they're wrong and that I'm just his au pair. And then they all are, like, "Yeah, you're looking so young." That's somehow annoying but I'm used to it as well.

Tonight, I'm going outr with some new girls (S., V., M and some I don't know yet). I think they're basically all from Germany so it's going to be great anyway. V. is coming home with me and then she'll stay until Sunday. I hope I can get her to help me paint the rest of my room tomorrow. Then I can finally hang up all of my pictures and the postcards I received so far.

I have to ask AerL*ngus if they can change my flight coming back from Germany so that I don't have to pay too much. We'll see and I hope they'll do it.

On Tuesday, I finished watching the fourth series of LOST and am now looking forward to buying the fifth but I think that has to wait until next weekend.

Yesterday, I enrolled for the Guitar course (Beginners again). So in two weeks I'll begin the chidlcare course and the Guitar lessons (again) and there will also be a very big appointment which I don't want to say any more about.

I think, that's all for today.

Cheers,
Isy

Cork

Since someone complaint yesterday I don't want to say who; it was my lovely brother F. I decided to write another blog entry.

On the Bank holiday weekend in July last July weekend I went to Cork with L. I booked the hostel online so we paid 14€ for one night because we only stayed there from Saturday to Sunday.
We arrived late on Saturday around 7 pm after a 4 hour bus drive with a very nice stupid bus driver who almost took off without us after a break at the petrol station. He didn't say how long the break would be and just as I was about to pay for my sandwich L saw the bus driving away and we literally had to run after it so the driver stopped the bus and let us back in. Anyway, we arrived in Cork and went looking for our hostel. It was up a very steep hill and I almost wanted to take a taxi but it was okay then. The hostel was very nice and the staff there was great and it was just 5 minutes from the city centre.
We put our bags in our room and decided to go out for a pint or 2. After a few pubs we ended up in a gay nightclub where we spent the rest of the night until 3 am. It was really funny and just great.
L. met a guy so she went to another pub with him and I went back to the hostel I couldn't convince her to come with me and I wanted to sleep.
We met again a few hours later, did some sightseeing and shopping and then took the bus back to Dublin.
It was a great weekend and since it was L's last weekend we were really happy we did it.

Cheers,

Isy

The "Jedward" phenomenon & The laptop is broken

Hey lads,

I know it's been a long time since I wrote my last blog entry but that's because the hostfamily's laptop is broken so I can't use the internet at my HF's house anymore and have to go to the library. Since I usually have to take the baby with me I can't  stay very long so today is my chance because baby is asleep in his buggy.

Okay, so, what's new? All the girls I met here already went home, but don't worry, I already met new really nice girls (V,S,M&A from Germany and I from Italy). So, my social life is still great (:

Has JED*ARD arrived in Germany yet? Or anywhere else than Ireland and GB? If not, JED*ARD are Twins (Jo*n and Ed*ard) who were in last season of the british "X Factor" which is basically like "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" I think. They try to sing they ruined "As long as you love me" by "Backstreet Boys" and also "All the Small Things" by "Blink 182" but Irish and british girls love them simply because they are soooo crazy. I mean, look at their hairstyle. Their hair is standing up ALL THE TIME except for when they go to sleep and then they look almost normal and kinda sweet. They are 18, have always shared a bedroom and don't know how to cook, iron, etc. They have their own TV show now and I gotta admit that I watch it regularly just to make fun of them. You should really check them out 'cause as soon as the met Bustin Jieber YOU won't be spared anymore.

So, that's news from me for this week.

Cheers,

Isy

Boys, boys, boys

It's been a long time since a boy made me feel special or since any boy at all was interested in me.
Now, there's a boy who makes me feel really special but unfortunately he lives too far away. And then there's another boy who seems to be interested in me as well.
I am very curious about the direction everything might take...

Best night EVER!!!!!!! XD

I went out with M. & K. last night. M. is from Finland and K. is from Germany and they are both au pairs and will also stay until next summer.
Anyway, we met at 5 in Dublin and went to a nice pub. After having a Bulmers there we went to have "dinner" at  McDonald's and the we went to THE gay club in Dublin.
We met a Swedish girl and a Swedish boy there, both friends of M. who work at H* just 10 minutes away from my house :) I. and F were really nice though I was really drunk :)
It was so much fun and F and I talked alot...well, he talked and I listened but it was nice :)
I hope we will go out together again next week.
Did I mention that I'm fucking tired?? I came home at 2 and got up at half 7 cause I had to babysit this morning. But the baby was in bed at half 8 so I could go back to sleep again, too :)

This is how Irish I am

After almost 7 months in Ireland I think it's time to let you know how Irish I've become :)

1. I LOVE eggs, beans and potatoes for lunch.
2. I also LOVE full irish breakfast. That means: fried eggs, mini sausages, and rasher(?). But no, I dont like black/white pudding *yuk*
3. I mostly dont wear jackets anymore.
4. I dont use umbrellas wouldnt work with this wind anyway :)
5. Dont drive on the right side. Thats weird Oo
6. It's normal to go to the bar to order a drink/meal in a pub
7. I would never spend more then 5€ for a shirt and not more then 9€ for a pair of jeans.
8. I think in English!
9. I talk to everyone in English!
10. Going shopping on Sundays or in the middle of the night is normal.
11. I use English grammar in German "mehr teuer" (more expensive and so) 
12. I got used to the Irish "punctuality" and finally accepted that everyone and everything is ALWAYS late. And so am I from time to time :)

Toooooo much :)

Today has been a very busy day.
I had to call the PPS office to get my PPS number so S. can book the theory test for my driver's licence. I finally got through them after calling 5 times and I got my PPS number so thats sorted.
I also had to call a language school down in L. because I wanted to find out how much a preparation course for the CAE exam would cost. It would be 128€ for 16 hours a month which would be 8€ per hour, so thats okay and I would only do it for one month. I did an assignment test to see which English level I have and I got 61 out of 68 question answered rightly :) I could hardly believe it.
So I then looked up the exam schedule for this year although I was not really certain that I really wanted to do it this year. But I consired that it wouldnt be too bad if I did it this year. So I will do Paper 1-4 (the test consists of 5 papers) on 25th September and Paper 5 sometime between 18th and 26th September. The registration fee for the test is 165€.

Hermes & stupid neighbours

I AM SO FUCKING PISSED OFF!!!
Who do some people think they are???
My Dad sent a package over to me which - after 3 weeks- hasnt still arrived. So, he looked up the delivering status and it said it has been delivered. He then wrote Hermes an email and they said that it had been delivered to another house number(one house too far) AND it was delivered WITHOUT getting a signature from the acceptor! Are they even ALLOWED to do that??
Anyhoo, my hostmum went over to them yesterday and asked them. They said they brought the package back to the office in the village. But when S. asked which office and where she said "Oh, I saw the van and told the driver to get the package from us". So, basically, she kinda lied. But I dont have any evidence that she did or did not. Whatever she did with the package I hate her/her family.
I just cant understand why somebody would do something like that?
Well, anyhoo, I am more sorry for my Dad cause he spent all the money..............

OXEGEN!!

No, I didn't make a "slip of the pen", they write it that way.
It was fucking amazing! The people, the atmosphere...just everything (though I still like those little concerts more) It was a great experience. I saw Rise Against, 3OH!3 however you say that name , I wanted to see Gossip but that was when I was in the queue for the toilets, Kasabian and MUSE! thats the main band I was there for
Muse were absolutely amazing. They played for almost 2 hours and they were fucking great.
Oh but it rained so much I had to buy a poncho. And there was mud everywhere. Mud, mud, mud and mud. Oh did I mention the mud? :)
I borrowed a pair of wellies from S. and wore one of my jeans which was already broken. The wellies were brown after a while as well as my jeans I'm gonna clean the wellies but I threw away my jeans
I was home at half 3 this morning and my legs hurt really badly :(

Oh and by the way: I think He*mes hates me. They said the package from Dad to me has been delivered, but I didn't get anything!!!!! (Could you please see who signed for the package??)


Cheers and a nice Sunday

USA next year??

So, I am thinking about going to the USA next year to live there for 12 months as an Au Pair.
Problem: I need to go with an agency otherwise I dont get the right visa and those agencies are not really cheap. Anyhoo, I did some research already and found a cheap but still really good agency and believe it or not I really found 13 American states which would be okay for me to live in. 13 out of 50 XD Those states are:

1. Washington mostely Seattle ;) 
2. Oregon
3. California just because of Los Angeles ;) 
4. Montana
5. Minnesota
6. Oklahoma
7. Maine
8. New York near to the Canadian boarder so really near to Toronto
9. Connecticut
10. Massachussetts
11. New Hampshire
12. Vermont
13. Wyoming

The others are generally toooooooooooooo hot during summer and not cold enough in winter I want snow for Christmas for crying out loud ;) 

I would have to come back to Germany first to get the visa and everything so I'd most likely go to America in October or November if everything works 

Eclipse!!

I totally fell in love with that movie. It's f*cking great. No, not just because Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is naked in one scene. Jacob would kinda be the perfect boyfriend apart from him being a werwolf and his forced kiss on Bella he is so cute and sweet and nice and polite and just everything. And yet, Bella still wants to marry Edward and breaks Jake's heart even though she is in love with him as well. And be serious, who could not be totally Team Jacob or at least Team Taylor?

Edward to Bella on Jacob: "Doesnt he own a shirt?" 

Well, lets face it Eddie: Jake is just hotter than you are 

Eclipse!!

Eclipse was absolutely amazing. Best movie of the saga so far. And I swear at one scene, when Jake was hurt and turned into his human form again, he was TOTALLY NAKED. (you couldn't see anything of course but seriously...my heart skipped a beat :) ) Cant wait to see it tomorrow again haha

Post from Canada :)

(Yeah, I decided to write in English again)

Today, I got a letter from the Robins' family in Canada, it was dated 26 June 2010 :) So she wrote it on Sunday while watching the football match England - Germany (which by the way was an AWESOME game :) ) I didn't really expect to hear/read from them and now the letter is laying right next to me. Jeesh, the "kids" are so grown-up now. S. is now 18, M. will be 16 in August and J. is 10. M. will be away the whole summer and S. is just taking a year off before going to university.
A. wrote that she will tell everyone in her neighbourhood that I'd like to go to Canada as an Au Pair and that I am in Ireland at the moment.
She was really surprised when she received my letter, probably just as surprised as I was just a few seconds ago :)
And she finally managed to spell my name right she always wrote Isabelle cause she believed that that was my name :)
Im going to right back later so N. can send the letter from work

"PUBlic Viewing" & Competition

Me, Johanna and Lena have been watching the football match yesterday in a pub which was really cool except for the fact that most of the other people were English/ supporting England.We felt a bit uncomfy at first cause I took my big German flag and it seemed that we were the only ones supporting Germany. But with the first German goal all that uncomfyness was gone and the flag was there :)
It was a great game though I have to admit that England's second goal WAS a goal. But I think by now everyone knows even the referee Still, it would have been 4 - 2 so a win for Germany.
One of the England supporters came over to us after the match and congrated us and I almost felt sorry for all of them. But just almost XD

I entered a competition a few weeks ago where you had the chance to win 2 tickest for the midnightscreening of Eclipse tomorrow. And guess what> I won! First time I ever won anything. I'm taking Conni with me of course ;) And N. has to collect us from the cinema at around 2 in the morning XD

Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Nina kommt nach Irland! Fuer ein Jahr!!! Sie geht zwar in ne Familie naehe Cork, aber das is egal :) SIE KOMMT HER!!! WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
