Passion!!!!

Ok I learned something tonight! I was at the "Movies at the pool" with my sister Daniela to watch "Take the lead" with Antonio Banderas. First of all - you guys should all get to experience this once! Yeah america has the drive in theater but hey, we have the movies-at-the-pool theater and it's AWSOME!!! First of all it's got the huuuugest and biggest screen Daniela and I have EVER seen in our lifes, CRAAAZY big I'm telling ya!!!! Also everything is allowed to make you feel comfortable and enjoy the movie better: you can swim while watching the movie, just sit on chairs put up, lie on a airmatress in the water and enjoy it from there, stand at the candle lit small tables put up for couples and others etc. People don't mind if you're a little loud cause it's outside, cellphones are not turned off but answered only very short (cause you get addicted to the movie with the huge screen!) etc. Yeah it's cool! But anyways this is not about the surroundings.

As everyone knows I love passion and passionate people! Well tonight it showed me something new, there's different ways of passion! Did you know that? I never thought of it! Usually the passion in "our lovelife" (not that I have one at the moment hihi) crosses our minds when we hear this word but there's so much more! Ok ok yep, I also LOOOOVE Antonio Banderas first of all, he's the most passionate guy ever, it's his BEST movie he ever made and somehow with a controlled passion he drives me out of my mind! If I ever get engaged to a not passionate and hot Latino remind me if you're my friend ok! I don't wanna waste my life..  Jk but they are the hottest guys!

Anyways yeah, what I wanted to say: Like I said we usually think of the passion in romance, well that's not all! Antonio Banderas taught me tonight that you don't have to be loud, noticed all the time or good looking or even dance good to be passionate (well yeah, HE is of course!). It's about living your life passionate. What does that mean? To say it simple: live the life you have at the moment to the fullest and make the most out of it! It's cool huh! I never thought of it like this but it's so true! I mean I am totally NOT passionate about being in Switzerland at the moment - but I can still live passionate and be passionate for the things I work at and do! It's not alot I do but if I live passionate for the little things here it already makes a difference! Man you should see him in this movie, he owns a dancestudio and wears totally formal clothes with a perfect hairstyle (and a hot little bang hanging over his forehead!) - but he's not just the rich dude I'm telling ya! Even if he's mostly quiet - when he does something and starts something it's with his whole Passion!!! He took this blond pro girl with him to school where he teaches Ballroomdances to the "school rejects" to show them how not boring those dances are. They danced a tango together and MAN - I've never seen him more passionate then there ever!!!

Anyways you guys just GOTTA watch it! Maybe you will not all like it but it reminded me of you all and made me MISS YOU GUYS!!! I mean there was I love Lucy in it which made me miss Christy, there was something else in it that made me think of other people - just one thing for everyone so now i can't wait to come back to you guuuuys!!!

That's it for now, love you all and see ya in 4 months or so!!!

Well I just figured out something real important: I'm a sucker for additionals!  You know what I mean? I love everything added to normal things. In foodthings that is sugar in coffee (lots!) and special creamer, whipcream on icecream, nuts in brownies, mustard on a sausage etc. It's plain and simple for me, life without additionals would be boooring...  I guess that's why I do additional jobs too, carrying out newspapers and babysitting totally is an addition I think!

And now I'll proof how short I can write and finish here. I'm listening to FCB right now (those suckers don't show it on TV!!!) and they are leading 5:0. Finally after a few losses... Have a good one!

Aaaaw guys if you've never gone with a first year to his first schoolday you've definitely missed out on something!!! Mami and I took Mischa to his very first schoolday today and it was sooo cute!!!  First all the second year classes sang 3 awsome and soo good songs. They were cute too, only 7-8 years old. The first song was "welcome" in tons of different languages (multilanguagecountry Switzerland! ), the second and third was an anti racism song so it was reeeally cool! Something like "we love having you here if you're black, white or something else, we all pull on the same rope towards the same goal" or similar. It was cuteish! By the way my teacher from 18 years ago (whooooa I AM old!!! ) is still there hihi, funny to see that cause I look at her different now. With adult eyes I guess. Can't imagine I was THAT small when I had my first day of school cause I totally remember it so clear! Well the kids walked after their teacher into their classrooms, parents behind them. Their she got to know her kids a little. His teachers name is Mrs. Weber, a real nice teacher that has 3 kids too. I LOVE those little girls in Mischa's class! So cute and pretty! They have the cutest clothes like jeans with flowers and stuff. I will totally dress my girl like this someday! Actually I'm so anxcious now to have a girl that age! At 9.30 Mami and I left. I signed myself up to help in swimclass tuesday in 3 weeks. They have swimming once a week Tuesday morning and of course the first couple of weeks Mrs. WEber needs help. After all there's 20 kids that need to get undressed, into their swimsuits, dressed again, blowdry their hair and get out into the next class. Way too much for one person to handle! So I'm really excited to go and help the girls september 5th, will be really cute!! I get to blowdry hair, yay, comb it out and do hairstyles, cute!  

It's UGLY, GROSS, RAINY and COLD here!!! I'm sittin upstairs again in a long shirt - ME!!! It feels like winter - I ACTUALLY wore my knitted, huge sweater for the first time yesterday, CRAZY!!! Biggest reason for me to leave I'm telling ya! Well I'll talk to you all later, love ya!

Trittst im Morgenrot daher,
Seh' ich dich im Strahlenmeer,
Dich, du Hocherhabener, Herrlicher!
Wenn der Alpen Firn sich rötet,
Betet, freie Schweizer, betet.
Eure fromme Seele ahnt [2x]
Gott im hehren Vaterland!
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Vaterland!

Kommst im Abendglühn daher,
Find' ich dich im Sternenheer,
Dich, du Menschenfreundlicher, Liebender!
In des Himmels lichten Räumen
Kann ich froh und selig träumen;
Denn die fromme Seele ahnt [2x]
Gott im hehren Vaterland!
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Vaterland!

Ziehst im Nebelflor daher,
Such' ich dich im Wolkenmeer,
Dich, du Unergründlicher, Ewiger!
Aus dem grauen Luftgebilde
Bricht die Sonne klar und milde,
Und die fromme Seele ahnt [2x]
Gott im hehren Vaterland!
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Vaterland!

Fährst im wilden Sturm daher,
Bist du selbst uns Hort und Wehr,
Du, allmächtig Waltender, Rettender!
In Gewitternacht und Grauen lasst uns kindlich ihm vertrauen.

Ok guys, will you let me be patriotic one more time?  This is the whole swiss anthym on top, all 4 verses. It's also called "Swiss Psalm" and for us christians that's the reason why it's so special that OUR crazy anichristian country, Switzerland has an anthym like that! I decided since today is 1st of August, the swiss "4th of july" I will tranlate this anthym to you guys so you will get to hear it too. I went to "Bruederholz" tonight with Olivia. It's the highest point of Basel City and country, so you could call it the highest mountain. Reeeally nice cause it was the most awsome weather, we were sitting on grass with tons of people just celebrating, above the city in the nature with a good view on all the fireworks every where around. Everyone was in red and white. There were some showthings they had, at 9 they set the huge fire on flames (with the firemen right there spraying water on the ground constantly cause it was so dry lately) and in the end they had a huge firework. But I can tell you, what touched me most tonight was the speech from the political woman and the anthym. All she talked about was the anthym and then we sang it together. Also in the end. Gosh it was sooo touching cause in all my years I lived in Switzerland I NEVER experienced this before, this closeness and just standing together for our country! I had tears coming when, for the first time since I know it, those thousands of people all got up and sang the first verse of our anthym together! Most people didn't know it anymore after the first but it was already huge that the first one is known now! I know this only from the USA but never here! And some tears were coming cause of the text so here is finally the translation that you guys understand why I was so emotional about it in our antichristian country.
