Mountains, Snow, and Sun -> Sella Ronda!!

Yesterday I finally managed to do one of the 'must' activities in south tirol during winter: I went skiing with some friends and we did the complete sella ronda! we were very lucky with the weather so we had a beautiful sight of all the mountains around. it was a lot of fun, we even did some pacours with jumps and really nice hills and curves.. on the first go i lost a ski and crashed, but on the second one, the jumps went really nicely and gave me a good adrenalin shock :) as my camera was not damaged during my little accident I can provide you with some fotos. enjoy!

Masters wanted

As some of you probably already know, I'm searching for nice master or phd programs (only the combined ones though, as I'm only holding a bsc so far...)
If you have heard of an interesting course, please please please let me know as soon as possible, as most application deadlines for start in september are quite soon...
Thanks a lot, have a good one :)

Talking teabags and no electricity..

finally I found the reason why organic food costs so much more than regular one... it is because it talks to you! so if you buy a package of yogitea, it not only makes you feel high from all the spices and sandalwood but it also includes the special effect on telling you another wisdom or well-wish on each bag you're putting into your cup... kinda like fortune cookies.. so now i'm collecting...

May your inner self be secure and happy.

The mind is given to you, you are not given to the mind.

Oneness is achieved by recognising your self.

True understanding is found through compassion.

I wonder what I'm supposed to do with it, maybe I will contemplate this question. (for example when the next blackout switches off my computer again... unbelievable! I really appreciate the temporal independence of laptops vs desktops.. especially when people connect plugs in series until they just flip...)
If you have any comment, feel free to pass on your inspirations to others (omg.. I already sound like on the tea packaging.... it's really tasty though - the tea ;)

Round and round and round and....

again... life is not as it seems.. and there is too much chance involved.. how likely is it that someone you completely lost touch with (including invalid phone number after several years) turns up in the very shop you went to for finding out about them exactly when you go there.. amazing world.
and a second thought... sometimes the people we are learning (or have learnt) from are not stable in their lifes themselves, suffering maybe even from the same things. and still.. they do not loose their validity as guidance.

Happy New Year

Happy 2008 to all of you! I wish you all the best and hope this year will bring you a lot of good! Hugs from Germany ;)
