North & South unites for a joined KOREAN handball team

Hey beautiful friends & enemies~

Today I am back with some interesting news. I was able to watch a very exciting handball game last week.

On the 17th January I got a special chance to witness one of the most intriguing games of my life. Thanks to the embassy of the republic of Korea I was able to watch a game where the joined Korean team was playing against  Brasil at the 2019 IHF Handball World Championship.

I actually have never before watched a handball game nor was I ever really interested in it. But even for me, a total anti sports watcher, was the moment magical.

Before going into the Mercedes Benz arena Berlin, we met with a woman who was giving out t-shirts and cheering sticks outside. After wearing our white cheer-on-Korea shirt we went in to find our places. It was so cool, since everyone in the block was wearing the same t-shirts and was full of willpower to cheer on the Korean team till their voices disappear. It felt really special being able to cheer on a team together. A lot of Koreans were present to look over their beloved handball team. The power from the songs sung and the clapping was breathtaking. Everyone kept on chanting “let’s go Korea” “be strong Korea” “it’s ok Korea” what a view.

 

 

In total there were 4 players from the North and 16players from the South who competed together in the International Handball Federation (IHF) World Men’s Handball Championship, which was hosted by Germany and Denmark this year.

I think it was my first time being able to see a north-south joined team playing together in real life. Never mind, the place they achieved, I believe it was a great experience for Everyone, both players and watchers.

 

AND FOR NOW..

..keep warm, since it’s still cold outside

New Years Resolutions – Holidays in Lithuania

Hey beautiful friends & enemies~~

and here I am sitting in one of my favorite Cafes in Klaipeda (my birth city, a beautiful city near the sea in Lithuanias west) enjoying my almond milk latte trying to get some work done. I am currently writing my assigned essays. I am trying to do some research on the current Japanese image in Korea among the youth.. Someone save me please.. I need a vacation from using my head. haha….. just kidding.

I went back to Lithuania for the holidays and spend it with my family. I had forgotten how beautiful my hometown actually is. It got a lot cleaner and a lot of new shops, cafes, restaurants opened while I was gone. But there is one thing that keeps bothering my mind…. WHERE ARE ALL THE PEOPLE GONE? It kind of feels like a ghost city. I really enjoy taking walks in the afternoon but every time I go outside my door it feels as if the whole city belongs to me.. Since I am literally the only one strolling down the old city streets. It gets quite scary.. I hope Klaipeda would grow even more and people would come back and fill all the streets..

Me and my best friend have a thing for the universe and horoscopes and star constellation.. So I am really looking forward to the yellow pig’s year! I am a Sagittarius and born ’95 which also happen to be the pigs year. It is said that this year will be phenomenal for all the Sagittarius which makes me really exited and motivated to give my best this year. I know it is kind of stupid to believe in such things but it is really fun and my little guilty pleasure. I must admit that sometimes I even end up buying magazines just because I am curious what its horoscope says.

I have quite a lot New Years resolutions this year but this time I just wrote everything down in a phone memo. Usually I would put a lot of effort into designing a beautiful printed note book or some of that kind and spend hours of filling in my thoughts, wishes, ideas but this New Year’s Eve I kept it really simple. Not because I was too lazy, maybe I will start writing a diary or so later on but for now I just feel like not overdoing it.

It is a year do start a new page, a blanc page. It is a year to dream big and set your goals. I hope for the best and just let destiny’s curse become a wonder.

I must admit I am afraid since it will be a really busy year for me. My BA graduation in summer, my trip to East Asia and a lot of other long awaited projects will keep me busy, but I know I can make it the on of the best year in my life if I simply keep on doing my best.  I am very thankful to all my precious friends who are still besides me supporting me in everything I do. I am really happy to be surrounded by people who care a lot about me. It means a lot to me, I know that my character is not easy to handle and not everyone is willing to put up with my nasty moments. I feel really happy and loved and that’s the main reason I’ve been able to come so close to my goals. And I hope that soon I’ll be able to reach them and of course set new ones as well!

Merry happy Holidays my loves.

AND FOR NOW..

..never give up on yours dreams
