Found Paradise... in Boracay!

2011-09-17T09:12:00.001-07:00

What a beautiful place (: I tell you, if you're looking for a place to hide from the world... just go to Boracay and you will forget everything. It's a happy place. With loads of restaurants and bars, relaxing hotels and spas, super nice people, and of course the most amazing beaches, crystal clear water, colorful fish and corals and amazing food!! =D It must be paradise!

I really wish I had a camera. and a underwater camera. but I just live with a simple blackberry ;)

Hi Philippines (: I missed you so!

2011-09-08T09:21:00.000-07:00

Spotted in the streets of Dramanila: Queen E is back.

Just kidding (: every time I step on Philippine ground i feel so Gossip Girl... I don't know why ;)

I'm back in Manila and sitting on my roof... it feels like coming home!

I can't describe how much I love it here! The people, the city, the food, the country, everything is just perfect for a little time out and hiding on an island. After almost two years it's so good to see my lovely friends again. How much I've missed you all!

Only this time I left all drama in Bombay. But don't worry, Bombay... I'll come back soon to pick it up >:)

Taj Mahal !!!

2011-09-01T05:54:00.000-07:00

After one year I finally made it to Agra where the most beautiful building stands, the Taj Mahal. However, as usual, I'm here for a shoot, so this is as close as I got to the Taj:

What amazing weather tho! Super hot, sunshine, cocktails at the hotel pool... I guess it's okay that I postponed my vacation for this shoot for a couple of days ;)

Check out the weather in my hometown!! Looks like raining season has hit Germany this year...

Tomorrow I'm flying back to Bombay - with a quick stop over in Delhi. So much to do before I leave on my vacation!

Work, Hindi, Scripts...

2011-08-05T09:44:00.000-07:00

School ended and work went crazy again. I was shooting so much the past two month, traveling from one place to the other, I spend more time on planes than in my new apartment. I thought it's time I post some new pictures for you all!

Right now I am in Bangalore again, shooting for a mall... I wish I could get the time to do some shopping... The last time I went shopping was... hmm actually recently in St. Tropez. Of course I had to take a few days for vacation after so much work ;)

I also ate a lot of cakes these past two months... house warmings, movie releases, weddings, birthdays, and of course my own birthday!! =D

I wish I had time to take more pictures between all the shootings... but all I get are some behind the scenes pictures... like this one from my Goa shoot.

My first time in Goa, ever! I was working 24/7 and it was raining like waterfalls. Plus I saw the biggest spider I have ever seen. eww...

Anyhow. The hard work and fighting dangerous animals is paying off :) some of my new ads are out and more to come! yay

SCHOOL'S OUT!! =D

2011-06-01T23:57:00.000-07:00

SCHOOL'S OUT!

Can you believe it?! After 4 months, my acting course at Stella Adler in Mumbai has come to an end!

What a wonderful time it was! I've learned so much about acting, dance and life, met lovely people and am fluent in Hindi now - well... maybe almost fluent ; ) Now I can't wait to work again! and to dance across my first Bollywood movie!

I would like to thank Rahul Rawail and my teachers Ravi Sharma and Suneel Sinha for their passion and motivation to teach. You are amazing people, and I have learned more from your life than I could learn from any book. And of course I'd like to thank my 13 fellow students, without whom it would have been only half the fun, I have learned a lot from every one of you. Thanks, I feel more Indian now (:

The first batch (ever), of 2011

Happy Akshaya Tritiya! (:

2011-05-12T05:55:00.000-07:00

Last weekend India celebrated Akshaya Tritiya! One of my favorite holidays, since it's a day to give each other gold >:) hehe

There are several meanings for this holiday, one of course being a Hindu holiday for Lakshmi and Ganesha... which happen to be my and my brother's names too =) I love that India has so many holidays and always a good reason to celebrate!

"The word "Akshaya" means the never diminishing in Sanskrit and the day is believed to bring good luck and success... growth and prosperity." It's a day for charity, blessings and new beginnings. Apparently... it's also a good day to give or buy Gold... for symbolic reasons of course ;)

This year I did a ad for World Gold Council's Akshaya Tritiya campaign!

Such a beautiful sunny shoot on Madh Island!

LOVE.

Mystery Bollywood Weekend

2011-03-15T07:06:00.000-07:00

What an eventful weekend! Fashion Week rocked Mumbai. My favorite show was of course Rocky S last night! not only because he's my friend and did the cutest stylings ever, but because Rocky's shows are always one big party!!

spot me :p

Speaking of party. I think there were more partys than fashion shows over this week. One of the best had nothing to do with FW tho. A birthday at my friends' new place ZINC in town! wow! i'm so impressed by how stylish this club is! you feel like you're in down town London! It's opening in a few days! go check it out soon! I'll definitely be around :)

I love Lakmé Fashion Week! We all had such a super weekend!

funny enough the papers would still find something dramatic about it. ha. ha.

Tonight the last show at FW! And then of course the after party <:) Ah well... Maybe I should just do my Hindi homework and go to sleep. Maybe... ;)

School And Fashion Week

2011-03-12T05:21:00.001-08:00

The last few weeks we had Ron Burrus from LA/NYC Stella Adler at our school and I can't even recall all the things I've learned! what a super workshop! Even better cause some of my friends came to school with me those days! ♥

This week school went back to the regular schedule: Me stealing my friend's lunch and my body being dead from all the dance, fighting and yoga! i love it though! like our trainer always says "enjoy the pain! it's good pain!" haha. My Hindi is getting better and better too =D so exciting!

Besides work and school I've been trying to spend more time with my friends. I barely get the chance to see them anymore... just at partys or events.

Girls Nights!

And finally Lakmé Fashion Week started! yay! Perfect chance for everyone to catch up!

Sometimes I miss being a travelling model and seeing new places all over the world... but then I find myself feeling so at home in Mumbai already, that I just dont want to leave again (:

Love
E

Welcome Back To My World (:

2011-02-28T00:56:00.000-08:00

Hi friends! long time that i havent blogged. Since I arrived in Bombay last June, so much has happened! I've been working like crazy and just got so soaked up into the whole Bollywood thingy. I'll try to write more often again!

I have to admit, life here can drain your energy at times. That's why I decided to take a break from too much work this year and joined Stella Adler acting school for four months! it's been such a great experience so far and I enjoy the decision I made every day. However, eight hours a day, five days a week, can get exhausting too. It's actual school, with an actual uniform and where I have to pack my lunch box for ever day =) hehe. I love it! I'm living a regular life again, with regular schedule. Well... except for the weekends of course! I'm shooting almost every weekend. Girl gotta make some money ;) I just recently shot for New Woman magazine with the very talented Saurabh Muley. I love his pictures.

And of course the weekends are the only time I find for my sweet friends! My favorite place: AURUS on a Sunday... The best place for good food and music while watching the sun set over the Arabian Sea.

lots of love
E

The nicest saddest thing… must be love

2011-01-26T01:32:00.000-08:00

All I know is that you're so nice,
You're the nicest thing I've seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.

I wish I was your favourite girl,
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world.
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile,
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style.

I wish you couldn't figure me out,
But you always wanna know what I was about.
I wish you'd hold my hand when I was upset,
I wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met.

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot that you loved secretly,
'Cause it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see.
Basically, I wish that you loved me,
I wish that you needed me,
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three.

I wish that without me your heart would break,
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake.
I wish that without me you couldn't eat,
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep.

All i know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen;
And I wish that we could see if we could be something
And I wish that we could see if we could be something

I’m BACK in Bombay! =) Happy 2011!

2011-01-07T01:47:00.000-08:00

no snow in mumbai…

2010-12-06T01:58:00.000-08:00

while traveling around the world you meet a lot of people. and after six months... some just grow to your heart more than others. the hardest part is when it's time to say goodbye. the last days pretty much all my girls left Mumbai. some to move on to the next country or just to go back home for christmas. i miss you all so much! now it's just me and all the boy drama. thanks a lot! come back soon!

the good thing is, you wont be alone for too long, cause there are always new models in town and mostly your new roommate turns out to be pretty cool too =D

this week i finished shooting for my very dramatic appearance on YRF's new show Bhaagya. i'm super excited to see the show! it's supposed to air in Jan 2011! well, and fyi: my plan to get rid of personal drama by putting it on the screen didn't really work out... maybe one episode wasnt enough... or maybe i should just stay away from actors, athletes and rockstars. maybe time to date something more mature like a physician or so...

it's been nearly six months for me in India now. lots of work, partys and drama is pretty much what India is all about. good thing i came here to discover my roots. haha. but seriously i found a lot about myself during my time here. however, i think it's time for a break from this crazy Mumbai life style. I cant wait to go home to Germany for Christmas =D snow!!!!!! =D christkindl market! the country smelling like cookies and waffels! oooh! lovely christmas time!!! i'm trying to spread christmas spirit here... but it didnt find too many fans yet... sad sad. i miss christmas time a lot!

love

Happy Diwali… and such

2010-11-09T02:19:00.000-08:00

What a wonderful Diwali weekend we had!! You can't even imagine! So let me tell you about the lovely vacation at my friend's house in the hills of some place in India.

myy... so nice to get out of the city for a bit sometimes! Wake up from the morning sun tickling your nose and to the sound of birds and nature instead of construction and cars!

The smell of fresh coffee... walking barefoot through the beautifully arranged garden... i dont know if it's just the fresh air, but it feels like paradise...

Anywho. it's not like we just got there. let me tell you that, getting into paradise is actually harder than we expected. it took us 6 hours to only get going. as usual. pfft... my Indian people. always so chilled out >: o grrr... so after some last minute shopping, several nervous breakdowns and a very intense rikshaw fight we finally made it on route to our weekend domicile! HAHA =D A few moments later though... the car started to make weird sounds and was kinda swinging from on side to the other... that's when we found out we had a flat tire. but worry not! luckily we could just stop on the spot cause due to a killed cow or villager or so on the highway, the rest of the village started a riot on named highway. so we had 2 hours in no moving traffic to change our tire and hide in the car from angry villagers. Then finally the police took over and the toll gates opened again. yiiiha! 30 minutes later we reached my friend's vacation house. And just as we settled in and started to relax to some nice music and games, the whole area got an electricity blackout. hmm... i still dont know if it was our loud music that took too much energy or if it were the sneaky villagers cutting a cable... anyway. after several time of me panicking and my friends telling me stories about "this is exactly how horror movies start!" the lights turned on again and the vacation could finally start.

Thank God.

Tourned out we had a pretty eventful but wonderful Diwali! how beautiful is India all glittered up in little lights and fireworks! i love this festival! Especially Lakshmi day with all the gambling and such hehe and not only cause my name is Lakshmi ; )

Happy new year! May God bless you lots and lots!

workworkwork sarees, nagpurs and tvshows

2010-10-23T02:41:00.000-07:00

After almost two weeks of being lazy and - I admit - partying all night, i finally started working hard again. Back to the usual sarees shoots

and more fun stuff like visiting my favorite city, Nagpur! hehe. I love the people there. And the fact that you see like 20 billboards of me alone on the way from the airport into the city!

As the face of the project, of course i was visiting for the grand launch of Anandam World City.

What a heavenly project indeed! Such friendly people! Thanks so much for all the love and hospitality, Nagpur!! I will come back soon foor suure ; )

Tomorrow I start shooting for my guest appearance on YRF's new show Bhagya! I'm excited and the drama in me is all ready to be put on the screen! hehehe My private life has been suprisingly calm the past days... hmm... i like it. kinda.

I miss Thailand!! I need like a real vacation… All i did the past four weeks i work my butt off and only dream of vacation. i’m in Asia! i’m like 2 hrs flights close to the best beaches in the world and i want a cocktail with a tiny pink umbrella in it at each of them! =D

excuse me, i planted some tabasco in your pants. i want it back.

2010-10-13T07:13:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I think gossip is the most reliable source of information about all your friends, and yourself. Ha ha.

The only sad thing is that gossip always tells only a little piece of the whole story. The rest is made up by - most likely - your so-called friends. Let's take this picture. Looks kinda boring. And noone would ever guess whats the story behind it. But still one genious would try to figure how the bottle of tabasco fits in this picture. And then someone would say it was stolen from a mad hotel after party - "but don't tell anyone". And suddenly the picture becomes more interesting.

I also realized the more you try to fight rumors and correct the story, the more people will believe the rumors were actually true. Cause people love to talk and emplify stories and turn them into big scandals. Even tho it was just a innocent tiny bottle of tabasco.

So next time someone asks if rumors are true, why not do everyone a huge favor and just keep answers open ; ) Let people mull all over the picture. Let them get inspired and come up with a fantastic story. Scandalous, dramatic, funny, whatever. In school they forced us to write stories all the time. I say why now stop people in their creativity.

Sounds fishy to me.

2010-10-09T07:17:00.000-07:00

it's been two weeks and bunches of drama since my last post. figured it's about time to give you all an update (: or at least for my mom...

I've been trying to stay out of trouble, i swear! but again it found me. it all started pretty much one night about two weeks ago at this new club... my lovely italian friend's goodbye party. everyone was in such a great mood partying and noone expected anything bad to happen... until suddenly a glass flew by some guy's head for kissing one of the models. or so. actually the facts are kinda blurry haha

a couple of fist fights and broken hearts later, i got confirmed for the lead in some tv drama show =D how funny is this!? and i'm not even kidding. looks like everything in life happens for a reason after all ; )

at about the same time on the other side of India my billboards had gone up.

oh how much i love them! =D what a great day shooting with such a fantastic team!!! i can't wait to see the other picutres coming up!

So actually now i'm really relaxed. Since all the drama is going on the screen and paper now, no more drama in my personal life at all ; ) haha Juzz, you were right after all. I hope my role allows me to slap some guy's face on tv... omg that would be awesome! haha kidding.

Anywho. Other than that, i'm trying to keep a strict diet and work out for a very sexy shoot coming up soon ; )

Lots of love!

Beautiful Mumbai (: you smell!

2010-09-23T07:22:00.000-07:00

The other day I found this beautiful spot on top of some building while I was waiting at a super boring casting. So i decided to rather stay on the roof instead and watch the sunset over Mumbai... : )

what a breath taking view on the sea... how can anyone not fall in love with this city...

i sat there for one hour watching the colors change while the sun went down...

the warm evening breeze on my skin... it was wonderful!

okay... wonderful until the breeze came up in my face. what the heck! where was that uber disgusting smell coming from?! when i looked down i almost vomited into my mouth.

why? seriously. WHY?! it ruined EVERYTHING! my dear fellow Indians, we have to stop throwing trash all over the place. we can't keep living in dirt!!!! it might be very fussy of me and such, but i can't handle this =°( why is noone taking care of the garbage disposal in this country?!

please someone's gotta clean this up. like now. challo.

The best part about travelling is to come back home. I really feel like Mumbai is becoming my home more and more. Now that I know all the streets and my way around city, it's much more fun to live here. Thanks to my great Hindi teacher I finally understand people too.

Of course first thing: went shopping with my shoppaholic girl friends... who pretty much bought everything on this road ^^

Alerted PETA for Kao San Road cruelty >: o

Back to Bangkok. where it all began...

2010-09-11T07:37:00.000-07:00

I'm finally taking a break from "drama town" Mumbai. Luckily I had to fly to Thailand for a TV commercial shoot. Some phone or so. I'm actually just here for Thailand haha

This morning at 6am we arrived in one of the most amazing citys in the world. Over one and a half years I have been saying "next week i'm coming back to Bangkok!" I can't believe it's been this long that I've been here. You guys remember Bangkok was my first trip as a travelling model in April 2009?

I was young and naive... ah wait... I guess thats still the same -.- haha I had the best time of my life when I started here! You can read these (a bit more private) stories in the archiv on my old blog: http://evearounddaworld.blogspot.com =)

Now I am back here and it feels like I never left! I love this city so much! Everything. The super friendly people, the spas, the unpredictable but beautiful weather, the street markets, the delicious food, the motorbike taxis, just everything...

Today after a long day of no sleep, cloths fittings and mendis on my hands, shopping and loosing my friend to a 70% off TopShop store, loads of spicy food and stomach aches, I dolled up like old times in my new dress

to have dinner with my sweet friend Chloe

and some cute model guys!! gosh, so long that we haven't seen each other! and how I missed model partys hahaha ahhh... so nice memories... i'm getting all melancholic now when I think back on my Bangkok drama times. like when his crazy Thai girlfriend beat up my roommate cause she thought he had an affair with me =S waaah! i'm innocent! i'm telling you =p anywho. it was one of the best times in my life here and i'm so happy to be back for a week!! aah! do you remember the most funniest video I ever made with my NEW female roommate at that time??? Alisaaa!! i miss you!!

okay. enough wallowing in memories =D tomorrow I am shooting, so it's time to finally catch some sleep. more for the party after the shoot then for the shoot itself hehehe but don't tell anyone ; )

xoE

THATS GOING STRAIGHT TO MY BLOG!!! >:o

2010-09-09T07:42:00.000-07:00

If you're wondering how my drama free life is going so far: juuust great -.- last night was a perfect example of the usual night out in Mumbai again. new club opening. greatest party ever! cat fights and drama all over the place. I don't understand why these gorgeous girls fight over boys here. percentage wise it's so many more guys in this town. and it's not like 100% of the very few girls here are into men anyways =S come on. there are like a billion people in this country. no need to fight over one silly guy who doesnt believe in love or monogamy! ew! makes me wanna go Ally McBeal on them! anywho. great party! haha I finally got my lazy roommates to come out and the Dabangg crew rocked the place =D watch my friend's new movie this weekend!

enough of the drama blah. here a sneak peek of my campaign coming out in October! i'm so excited!!!

Thanks to Sharon Nayak for these amazing photos! =)

Tonight I'm flying to Thailand for a TV commercial shoot! I really need to leave this drama town for a few days and just relax hehe I can't wait to come back to Bangkok after over a year!! one of the best cities in the world!! oh how I miss my friends!!! and 7eleven!! i hope i'll find time to work hehehe

DRAMA baby - Healthy life here I come! >:)

2010-09-06T07:44:00.000-07:00

guess what my roommate just said. "Eve let's watch a super tragic movie!! i wanna see some drama and cry all night. errr... or - we can just talk about your life again haha" -.- apparently there's like a huge sign floating over my head saying "DRAMA". and it just follows me wherever i go. it's like a disease that's crept up on me and everyone coming into my life gets some of it. i hate drama!!!! okok entre-nous... i kinda love it too ^^ that's just sick! i want to live a healthy drama free life!

from today on: no more party just sleep, no more toxins in my body just healthy food, and no more drama just... errr... what else is there? ah yea. peace and such.

even tho i have to say... this was a great party ^^ haha

Times of India and Fist Fights

2010-09-04T07:46:00.000-07:00

Isn't it funny that "Times of India" is the most read English newspaper in the whole world?! Even funnier, cause there is no such thing as "times" in India. There is only one time. Everything here is "two minutes". Which - translated into actual English - can mean anything between one second and a coulpe of hours. Honestly, in the beginning it drove me nuts. I mean I have been to sooo many places in the world with weird time expressions, but India is again a whole new level. Timewise. Let me start with the alltime favorite: "please take a seat - just two minutes - teekha" which actually means "it can only be hours, so shut it". Or having the make-up artist telling me to please not close my eyes for "exactly two minutes" when he's drawing one little kajal line on my undereye for one second. By now I pretty much figured which "two seconds" they mean and somehow learned to relax about it. In fact - I always love to place my new gained wisdom on my agents haha "Evelyn, pleeease be on time?!?" - "teekhai. just two minutes, dear" :p

Enough about times. What more interesting things happened in my last week... again so many which makes it hard to tell a good story... I finally finished shooting my biggest campaign so far - for the body lotion. I am very excited for it to come out. I think it will be in about two weeks from now. Besides that I had some interviews and was shooting uncountable sarees again

Also some instore posters for a beautiful Indian clothing brand in Calcutta and a sexy western clothing line book in Mumbai. If I ever get the pictures, I will post them for you guys (:

Of course there also were a number of legendary parties as usual. To ask the question "Is there a party tonight" is totally moronic, cause there ALWAYS is a party in Mumbai. And mostly there's a whole lot Bollywood drama involved or a few lucky times even a fist fight over some girl. Well, not that I had ever witnessed that or been involved in any ; ) I'm just a happy girl dancing by the bar with my girl friends and such

Anywho. After a long time, today I finally have a complete day off from work. Good chance to rethink my life... or not! There's so much to do and so little time. Laundry, gym, spa, grocery shopping, updating my blog, reading the new vogue, my roommates cooking brazilian food... Ah well, sometimes I wish I had time to buy a nice camera to take better pictures for my blog. Or just time to buy my skinny self a new dress... or chat with my friends!! I miss you all!! I read and love all the messages you guys send me. I will try to reply more often (: promise!

Fashion Weeks, Partys, Drama – oh and work I guess ^^

2010-08-23T07:51:00.000-07:00

Last week was India's first International Jewellery Week - IIJW - and of course we had to go watch some of the world's most glamorous jewellery designers! Oh how I love to sit front row at a fabulous fashion show!! Much more than stumbling down the runway! Haha

My favorite show was no doubt the beautiful collection by Farah Khan

A few partys and a lot of drama later, I have to say - I barely remember what happened this week. Good thing sometimes I snap a picutre =D Time flies by so fast here, it's unbelievable. I've been working a lot as usual, shooting my cookie commericial and of course some sarees...

UPDATE:

How Indian am I?! hehe ^^

This is going to be a busy week again. I can't wait for some time off from work to travel and go on vacation around here =)
I hear the Maldives are nice ; )

Love and Sunshine!

2010-08-16T07:59:00.000-07:00

Isn't it funny how some people think one can't live off love and sunshine? Call me naive, but I would choose love and sunshine over all the money in the world. Anytime! Probably. haha

Between us - even though modeling around the world and going to glamorous partys is probably one of the best jobs in the world - the perfect party girl life can get quite lonely and frustrating at times... I guess thats why most of us drown in Bellinis every night. If it wasn't for my lovely friends I would probably do the same. Friends and family are the most important things in my life. You guys keep me happy and down to earth and I can't thank God enough for blessing me so much! Cause sometimes a shoulder to lean on is all a little party girl needs...

Bengal Tigers, Bellinis and Bollywood Parties…

2010-08-13T08:03:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday I went back to Calcutta for another shoot, and again didnt get to see a Bengal tiger... =(

just sarees and sarees...

anyways, had a great time as usual! And even decided to stay one more night! I love it there.

The next day I flew to Delhi to float in my friend's pool all day. A few mojitos later and a wonderful dinner at my favorite place in Delhi - Emporio Mall - I fell asleep in the most comfortable guest bed... Oh how I wish I could just stay there forever. But at 7am the dreams were over and I had to get up for work. 10 hours of lingerie shoot... can you imagine? In a über airconditioned studio I was freezing my skinny butt off. But the pictures turned out quite nice... errr... I hope. lets wait for the end result. hello photoshop ; )

So three days I was gone from Mumbai and could not wait to come back already! I really started to miss my friends. And the partys. Seriously, when you think you've been to the most legendary party and there's no way to ever top that... The partys in Mumbai get ten times crazier. Bollywood is a whole new level. And I've been to some awesome partys all over the world. Actually... sometimes I really wonder when exactly became The Hangover my everyday life...

Anyways, I finally got back to Mumbai and first thing I needed was a new nail polish. bahahaha ^^

That was two days ago. And its kinda the last thing I clearly remember. Since we had some days off from work, we were partying all over the place. Plus, it happens that Bellini is my favorite food group. Champagne and white peach - whats not to love? well, turns out one should never drink Bellinis at a Bollywood party. Take it from me - one should neeever do it. If you know what i mean...

Now it's time for healthy life again. No more party for me. Only gym and healthy food 0=) I have my second tv commercial shoot for India next week!! whoooho! =D it's another cookie commercial! sexy chocolate cookie or so =D cant wait!! you guys know i'm an expert in cookie commercials... ^^

previously. on my glamorous life

2010-08-06T08:09:00.000-07:00

Some people think i live a glamorous life. Well, who would have thought glamorous is so stressful... I always say, it's more like a soap opera...

I went to Calcutta for a saree shoot last weekend. What a super nice trip! Beautiful clean city. No rain, just sunshine and Bengali sweets. unfortunately no Bengal tiger sightings.

I love how everything in Calcutta is so colonial style kinda... and how cool are the old school yellow cabs?!

70% of women in India wear saree. For obvious reasons. It doesnt only make you look like a queen, it even brings glamour in the dirtiest slum...

Me and my mosquito were rocking sarees at the shoot... all day long.

And when I got back to the hotel, i took a one hour foam bath and finally had ten hours sleep in a comfy bed. omg. how i missed it.

On the way home the plane almost crashed during landing, but luckily - it didnt. So I needed a few mojitos for lunch to get over this shock of almost dying and calm me down again. The rest is just a blur. Next day I woke up with a major headache in my friend's penthouse - btw my favorite place in Mumbai!

I tried to recall the events of yesterday... but all I could think of was crashing planes and some serious boy drama. After several attempts to kill myself with the pillow - my friends dragged me out for breakfast with a cheer evie up campaign.

i gotta admit, it kinda worked. so i decided to go to castings after all since i hadnt been for like a week or so anyways. Lucky me - I had to eat chocolate out of a guys mouth like in a totally passionate way while twenty people were watching and discussing why i was so skinny and white blahblah. EW! After that I had to run all the way across the city for a test shoot, where i was stuck all night. The next day I started to shoot a tv commercial. uuh! best job ever! =D being pampered all day and then chased through the house by some cute guy! yay. I also learned like a lot about Indians. For example that India is different in every state like Europe is in every country. Different language, different culture and and different food. Oh and Indians looove to tell you about their food. I think that is the same in every state. They loove to eat. And share their food. And talk about food. While they eat other people's food... haha They just love food. But... who doesnt ^^

then for some reason i ended up at my happy place again - the penthouse. where - of course - was a huge party going on - and - for some reason - i got involved into even more boy drama. why is this always happening to me? anyways. now after three days of shooting the tv commercial and intense boy drama, i think i deserve a break. so tomorrow i'll disappear in some spa for the whole day. at night i'm flying to Calcutta again for a shoot - and hopefully will see a tiiiiger!! =D

but what to do until tomorrow? hmm... where's Miss India?!

xoE

Happy Days in India!! =D

2010-07-30T06:42:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it's already been over a week that i blogged last! The time in India is just flying by so fast! i'm super busy with work almost every day. A few days ago, I had a shoot in Nagpur, which is famous for it's oranges!! too bad it's not orange season right now, so I could only get oranges from Florida... err. Anyways, the project was not for oranges haha I had a beautiful shoot for my first billboards in India, coming out in two weeks already! Finally a very natural shoot!

compared to the usual heavy make-up shoots

Last week we had the best weekend EVER when we went to Delhi for Couture Week to watch Suneet Varma's amazing fashion show!!

I love Delhi! It's so clean and sunny and full of friendly people. The fashion show was amazing and the partys even more. hehe. I met my dear friends again and on Sunday just relaxed with mojitos at the pool. So nice to not work for once and just enjoy life.

Then fiiiinally the Twilight Eclipse premiered in Mumbai last night and we all went to see the movie!!! Robert P. couldn't make it by the way. pffft!

Other than that I've just been hanging around Mumbai and try to relax more. Work every day can be so stressful, you know. it's very important to also relax and enjoy your life sometimes to stay happy and healthy.

I have so many projects coming up in the next few days!! Flying to Kolkata for a job tomorrow!! wooot! =D Will try to post more pictures for you guys!! =)

Chocolate Cappucino and INDIA High School Musical… or so.

2010-07-21T06:49:00.000-07:00

I have to say, India is growing on me slowly. Now that I'm less busy with work, I finally get to see more of my surroundings. You know, last week I got super sick from stress, food and the hectic life here. So I kinda started to dislike India a lot. Everything just seemd so chaotic and disordered, so smelly and dirty... But then I realized that people aren't hectic. More super relaxed sort of... So I thought, maybe India isn't weird at all, but my German mind set is. And what I needed was a minute to relax and change this stuck "everything has to be super correct and orderly" thinking and open my mind to befriend all the new impressions. or something like that.

Today the whole world looks different. I mean, for me everything still has to be clean and orderly ; ) however, suddenly I can see the order in this Indian chaos. There IS a walkway! Its the whole STREET! who needs a sidewalk thingy if they can just use the whole street?! duh! Everything seems much easier and even my little store at the corner sells Nutella now! I feel much more home already =) Plus, oh wonder, a Coffee Bean's just opened up right around the corner! Awww that makes the little European in me super happy!!!

I hear there's even an organic food store close! isn't that just wonderful?! I found a whole bunch of food that doesn't make my stomach turn and now I feel just super! I really enjoy living here now. And for some reason I start to feel like in my very own Bollywood movie. I love the Indian music! Bollywood is like High School Musical - just better : p

Those Indian people... so funny and overly dramatic! umm... kinda just like myself. Maybe there's a little Indian girl in me after all, and I just never knew I'm so Indian =D

I also love going down town Mumbai. Today I went there for castings and even though we were stuck in traffic for hours, I love to soak up the city and drive along the sea side forever. It all looks like a scenery from some movie, like The Far Pavilions or The Secret Garden or Dschungle Book. It's also that you can find the whole world in this one city. One corner looks totally downtown Hong Kong, the other just like Paris and the sea promenade like Manila Bay. Maybe just in my point of view... but it kinda makes me feel at home =)

Since the day I arrived in India, I was feeling weird and nauseous. So much preasure. So many new impressions people expected me to be familiar with already. Such intense food. My stomach couldn't handle all this stress. I was thinking about leaving this place asap. Today I had a chocolate cappuchino. And suddenly I wasn't feeling nauseous anymore. I found lovely friends here. People are treating me so great. And guys drop their jaws when I walk by. Hello wonderful India. I kinda love it here.

BTW: I have a new hair color. How Indian do I look now! =D

And here one more India Fun Fact for you guys: The India Times is the most read English language newspaper in the world! crazy, huh?

sarees, birthdays and gum boots

2010-07-16T06:54:00.000-07:00

hello to the world from the saree queens =)

a few days ago after yet another ten hours shoot, they had to bring me to the next emergency room. like litterally. i dont remember much of that night, and i dont know if it was only exhaustion, food poisoning or malaria. but after a few days of just sleeping, i know i'm fine now. thank God.

there are a lot of malaria warnings where i live due to contructions and such. oh did i mention i live in Bandra? they say it's the beeest neighborhood EVER in Mumbai. door to door with all the big Bollywood celebrities. just weird, that everything still looks so messy and confusing to me. theres no proper walkway on the streets, garbage bags all around, no big mall, no nice cinemas, no parks, no quiet places where you can relax and drink coffee... like seriously. there isnt even a tiny starbucks! and yes, we think starbucks owns the world and a starbucks is like the one thing you can always count on... so once i really need you, where the fck are you, starbucks!?!? i think its time for a huge mall. dear mr. greenbelt, in case you're reading my blog ^^ hehe please build a mall here. kthx. frankly, i think if someone built a whole Taj Mahal for a little princess, then it's just about time someone builds a frickin mall for a little brat like me ^^ i'm kidding. or am i?

anywho. on my way to the spa today, when i was desperately trying to find a walkway to not get hit by a car, i glimpsed a beautiful little shoe store through the smog. and fiiiinally found the perrrfect weapon to fight the muddy streets and raining season puddles, which are huge like lakes and you never know how deep... i bought a pair of awesome awesome pink gum boots!! bring it on, monsoon!!

oh and thanks for all the lovely birthday wishes!! it's so good to hear from every one of you =) i had a wonderful time and party with my friends and cake all over my face. thanks for that btw. haha. birthday fun fact: i havent spent my birthday in the same country for the last six years...

i miss you all!

India. Twilight. Bernstein.

2010-07-10T07:00:00.000-07:00

I really couldnt think of a right headline for this post. all thats in my head right now is the clicking sound of a camera flash. I've been in India for nearly two weeks and worked almost every day. This is crazy! And exhausting! But i'm very thankful for so much work and love from India (: and yay! at each shoot there are sarees all over the place and big blingbling to hang all around me. it kinda reminds me on a 70s christmas tree. in a good way ^^ hehe here some pictures of my last shoots... i never had so many men being my hair and makeup stylists... straight men. or two guys for only putting jewelry on me... i have to admit... i love it ^^

I really enjoy my time in India! Every day i learn new things about my country, my people and myself. Here everyone keeps telling me how Indian I look ^^ which I never heard before from more than like one person. Julie. haha. well, okay. they only tell me when i'm in a saree and have a ton of makeup on =/ without that, noone believes my name is Evelyn Lakshmi Sharma -.-

anywho - finally I get to experience more and more about the culture i've been missing out on my whole life. There are so many things about India that I'm already totally in love with - like the food, the friendly people, the fashion, the drama, the music, and just the whole culture! i cant wait for the festival season to start! it's gonna be amazing =D

however, there are also tons of things i just dont understand - like the trash, the dirt (gosh i'm so German), and, seriously, how in a country with so many billionairs there can be such poverty =(

or something less dramatic: the head wobble. i just dont get it. seriously. whenever you ask a Indian person a question or so, the answer is always a very cute head wobble ^^ "is this food spicy or no spicy?" - "wobblewobble". "is the supermarket down the road to the left?" - "wobblewobble". or "do you speak English?" - "wobblewobble". errr. hu? my friends and I tried to figure out if it's a "yes-nod" or a "no-shake" or just a loose neck. well, after intense study and research we finally discovered the definite meaning of the head wobble. we are two hundred percent sure it means: "yes. definitely. but maybe no". i like it. and from now on thats my answer to everything too.

other than that, what i still dont understand is why they dont show Twilight here? or do they? At first I thought it's because movies here are more conservative without kissing and such. but theres no much kissing in Twilight, is there? i dont know, cause i havent seen it =( then I thought they're just not into vampires and Twilight and such... until I saw this awesome twilight-ish picture of me... hmm...

So i'm gonna check out the cinemas again, once i get some free time =) tomorrow i'm shooting. and so am i the next days... i cant wait for the pictures to come out! get excited everyone ^^

oh and on a side note: herewith i'd like to correct all thousands casting sheets i've ever filled in. my eye color apparently is not hazel. which i hear would be green-blue, even though the word sounds a lot like HAZELNUT. but anyways. i guess my eyes are Bernstein. i'd appreciate no more complaints from American people about this. haha

Saree shootings...

2010-07-04T07:05:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, after 5 long days of castings, I booked my first job!! yippeh =D It's so great to work again after two months of vacation! Plus, being at work is such a great chance for me to learn some Hindi words and more about culture and people of my country. For example, when I arrived at the shooting place, the first thing to do was drink Chai (in India: spiced tea cooked with milk and sugar). I love that in India everyone drinks Chai all the time and everywhere! Then I had to eat some coconut with sugar while Indian music is playing in the background. "For praising God". What a beautiful morning ritual!

It was also the first time I've ever worn a saree in my life and it made me feel veryyy Indian =D I think more people should wear sarees. like, all over the world! it's so comfortable and stylish! and hot!! every girl and woman wearing a saree loves to show her curves and belly... i love it ^^

of course i had no idea how to put on this huge piece of fabric. it's really just one huge scarf you fold in a certain way and wrap it around so it looks pretty. luckily i'm just the model, and wrapping me into cloths is the stylist's job =D so I just had to jump into the under-skirt and the rest was done by my super quick saree-wrapers.

Its actually really hard to walk in this saree when it's wrapped around your legs super tight - let alone posing! and it gets very painful for your back after a while. good thing i figured the two secret code words for "i need a break". it's "CHAI" or "HUNGRY". cause as long as you're holding a cup of tea, noone dares to bother you - it's officially a breat thing hehe. and when you say you're hungry, every Indian person will love to stuff you with their delicious food =D it's just wonderful!

less wonderful is wiping off the ton of make up after the shoot! it was really much fun when i took a rickshaw back home. i'm not sure if i was more afraid of just people seeing my face like that or the monsoon rain washing my eyes down the cheaks... haha

so the last two days i was wearing over 50 sarees. for a billion people you have to show diversity i guess =) so i'll wear a lot more the next days... oich, my whole body hurts. 10 hours of saree shoot... but it's a good pain... like a muscle ache from too much workout or so. anyway - i love to be back at work! it's so much fun! cant wait for more =D

My India Experience

2010-07-03T07:32:00.000-07:00

Frankfurt-Qatar-Mumbai. My very personal identity crise and the attempt to hide under a burka forever. Ten hours later, I arrived in Mumbai. again change to left side driving. the time zone is +4.5. yes. "four and a half". i love it. i didnt even know there are half-time-zones... I have a great apartment and lovely roommates. oh and a even lovelier maid, who calls me by my Indian name and stuffs my face with yummy food all day hehe From the first day on i've been busy with castings and castings. and castings. the driver picks us up in the morning to tour through all Mumbai from casting to casting and late afternoon drops us back at the apartment. i love my job! tomorrow i have my first shoot!! aah =D i'm so excited! they gonna put me in sarees and such ^^ yay

Other than our maid's delicious food, like most people, i get sick from everything. like today when i innocently tried to eat some veg biryani, which is just rice with vegetables... it was the spiciest thing i've ever eaten!

i was so happy when i found some rice under all the chillis and spices. my stomach wasnt happy and turned inside out. now that makes me miss my mom's very German-ized Indian food. no spices. just rice haha kidding.

here some pictures for you guys of the neighborhood where i live. imagine you're walking down the street. your skin is sticky from heat and humid. a hundred different smells fly into your nose. Cows, dogs and donkeys chilling everywhere. Tons of people who sell fruits and vegetables. amazingly old looking trees all around... Indian ladies in the most colorful sarees walking down the street...

welcome to my street

the shopping mile

the cow

the place to be - the one and only supermarket

yep thats all there is. seriously. all there is. i hope soon i will have the chance to discover more. like the countryside and the beaches and the mountains... or just the city of Mumbai! It's great to finally see "my" culture... Hello India =)

Au Revoir Paris - Hello World!

2010-06-19T09:50:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how fast a weekend trip can turn into a whole week. Paris is definitely worth taking a few more days to explore the city.

however, I figured at some point I had to leave anyways, so I just left. Au revoir, beautiful Paris! I will be back soon for more Macarons =) hehe

I also realized that the best part of traveling, is coming home. I was only gone for a week but standing in Frankfurt train station and smell Bratwurst everywhere just made me love Germany even more than France. haha. Right now Germany is in world cup fever like no other country. In every bar you can hear people yelling at the TV and there are huge screens built up all over the cities. Seriously, each car in my street has a little flag of their team sticking out the window. Most of them Germany of course hehe. i was never really into sports... but for some reason i feel it too... GO GERMANY =)

And every time I come home, I just love my friends more. They are so sweet always picking me up from the airport, or train, or bus stop or the border... But thats another story. Now this is the last weekend I can relax at home and enjoy with my friends and family before I travel into the big world again. i am so excited!! next week i am flying to India for the first time!! and being half Indian, that's kinda a big deal, I still can't believe it!

Le Concept Anti Crise

2010-06-16T09:53:00.000-07:00

This morning some very rude idiot caused me a major crise de nerfs. As usual. Of course my first thought was "i need a cigarette". but duuh! smoking is très bad for one's health, so i dont give in! The next thought was "i'm going back to Germany". but running away like a little chicken isnt the solution either. i've tried it. many times. take it from me: it doesnt work. plus: I'm in PARIS! no one runs away from PARIS! it's like a law or something... anywho. After several attempts to kill myself with the pillow, I decided to not let anyone ruin my merveilleux vacation. seriously. like thats gonna happen! So I opened the curtains and woooh! sunshine all over the place! I packed myself a little picknick basket and went outside to lay around in a park. I started walking... walking around in Paris is just sooo awesome - did i ever mention that? The neighborhood where we live is soo beautiful! little french cafes, antique stores and fashion boutiques everywhere along the streets. it felt like 10 minutes until I spotted the Arc de Triomphe glimpsing through the trees. WHAT!?? i must have walked like 1.5 hrs!

Ah well, if I was here anyways I could just go look around in shops too, I thought. BTW: I dont know what it's with tourists and Louis Vuitton... but there was the longest line in front of the LV store today. Are they having a sale and noone informed me?!?! dont cause me another crise de nerfs!!

This was just freakin me out more and it was getting pretty late already, so I decided to walk back home. That was when I almost got hit by an ambulance. and pretty much got lost. You'd think I must have heard the car coming, but after changing countries every other month, you simply loose the overview on which side of the street cars are driving... Luckily the car saw me coming and stopped with a lot of protest honking. oopsi. sorry monsieur ambulance. I kept walking straight, which is always a good way to go, if you ask me, but I just didnt get any further. after one hour of strolling around and passing two more LV stores (or was it the same?) I finally remembered that I had a map thingy in my blackberry. I felt like a very modern path finder... hehe. And after walking two more hours I was almost back home. Around my corner I passed by a store with the name "Le Concept Anti Crise"

While I was wondering what the Concept Anti Crise really is, I realized that walking around for about five hours in this amazing city had made me totally forget about that idiot from earlier. So unlike I always thought, it's not shopping, drinking, smoking, or flying to another country that cures emotional pain. No. Mes amis - it's much simpler than that. just walk it off! seriously! it totally helps!! go for a walk. dont let anyone ruin your day. enjoy your life. and dont slapp it off. so i've been told... "Just because there's a carefree guy out there who's too selfish to appreciate you the way you deserve, doesnt mean that you can go around slapping people. you dont wanna end up like Naomi Campbell cleaning the sidewalk." geez how true. that would be so unchic in Paris. well good for everyone today the solution to all problems has been found. Someone call the media: Tell the world to WALK IT OFF!

PS: just for the record: I still think I should be in a latin soap opera or so. slapping peoples faces and yelling "bastarrrrdooo" all the time. sounds like a lot of fun to me ^^ and like my friend always says: Since he's been on Days of Our Lives, his personal life has been 100% drama free. well, that was until he met me. but whatever hahaha

Jour deux. Je t'aime Paris!

2010-06-13T10:00:00.000-07:00

I seriously wonder how anyone could possibly not be in love with Paris. This city offers you simply everything! From lovely little cafes to huge parks, fancy night clubs, some of the world's best restaurants, amazing art galleries and museums, theaters, castles, etc etc, the list just doesn't end.

I finally overcame my champagne sickness and enjojed our amazing brunch near Place Vendome this morning. After eating a mountain of french toast, I went to see Notre Dame, which looks just like in a Disney movie haha. Plus tons of tourists around, people selling all sorts of french stuff and a inline skating race thingy blocking the whole street. I loved it!

I didnt go inside since the waiting line was longer then the skating race. Instead I took the metro straight to Montmartre to check out the lovely neighborhood of the Amelie movie and hike up to Sacre Coeur. First thing I saw however when i got out the underground was loads of Algerian football hooligans partying on the street witj flags and fireworks and it felt like 2006 all over again. The cute French police men were trying to controle the situation the best they could. As if they had any chance. Ahaha. Luckily I didn't get hit by any firework and arrived tres well at Sacre Coeur.

At the bottom of the stairs was the usual petite carnival with vintage carousel, chocolate crepes, Eiffel Tower souviniers and cotton candy in all colors. Then on the walk up to the church of course a bunch of French people frenching around on the grass. Ew. My German coldness feels like throwing up when seeing so much public affection. The next 100 steps I was bothered by a few beggers and bracelet sellers here and there. But then... What are the odds! Hello breakdancers in front of the church!

What the heck! I mean, yea much fun, but play Ludacris "Area Codes" outside while inside SACRE COEUR is a holy mass going on? Hmm. Interesting. I wonder if the pope approves... Anywho, i went inside the building. People were soaking up the beauty of the church while French nonnes where singsonging. Amazing. I sneakily took some pictures when my silly blackberry totally flashed into the security's face. So i had to leave quickly... Otherwise they might find the three videos i took as well. muahaha!

I went out to explore more of the neighborhood to get the feel like Audrey Tautou. I bought a French hat at some vintage market and a croissant in the next bakery.

I really do love this city soooo much! I could totally move here and stay forever! And it definitely does heal mon broken coeur. On my way back home I saw a couple police men walking up and down Carla Bruni's house. Ohlala =D

I'm in Paris!

2010-06-12T10:04:00.000-07:00

People say there is only one place in the world to fix a broken heart. So for some reason I woke up in Paris today. I'm kinda hiding at my friends place right now. And guess what! We live right next to Carla Bruni!! How cool is that! Apparently when monsieur president comes by to visit his errm... wife, the whole street is blocked with police cars. Pffft! How obvious for everyone that they are doing it right now! But not so shocking, considering the French are doing it all over the place anyways and noone really cares. Like everything I remember from last night is lots of champagne cocktails, a bunch of French people making out on the dancefloor of this tres fancy club, and to top it off a naked guy running down the street holding a welcome-carpet to cover his little French croissant. I must say it helped me quite well to forget about the fact that I was supposed to be in the arms of the love of my life right now. This morning I remembered. Waking up with a real bad champagne hangover when the rain was pouring against the big windows. I totally had a Marie Antoinette moment.

However as soon as I stepped out the lovely appartment, this whole French stuff cheered me up already. Like the little bakeries with all the baguettes and pastries. Or the fruit & cheese stores! Or just the French people talking French and such! It's all just too adorable to feel sad. Like seeing these amazing monuments and buildings all over Paris! Standing at the Arc De Triomphe makes you feel like the king of the world! No wonder all these little French kings went a bit out of their heads... I mean, this is all so awesome here! It just makes you flip!

So this morning after I took the longest shower and yet decided to French it up and not shave my legs, I went on a four hours walk through the city. Being all touristy with taking pictures on bridges and such. Ate a crepes. Touched the Eiffel Tower. Done and done.

Tonight my lovely friend is taking me out on the next champagne debauchery. Which - i'm not gonna lie - is pretty much the best medicine for broken hearts. Paris so rocks and I think it could totally work. If only there wasn't a very cute ex in town too.

Turn The Page

2010-06-07T10:06:00.000-07:00

After two relaxing weeks of vacationing at the Red Sea I am back in my home town - recovering from a major heat stroke. Who had tought that after all my travelling experiences and the five continents I've been to, the change of climate from Egypt to Germany would effect me like that. I had to stay in bed for four days. All alone. And my only highlight was watching fat German birds fight on the neighbour's rooftop.

Now that I got over thoses terrible nights of fever and stomach pain, I am feeling more alive than ever! Thank God temperatures are finally rising over 20C too! I guess thats what they call summer! Wooh. I'm about to jump into my bikini and dance around over the lawn sprinkler like when I was five! Germany is just beautiful in summer! It smells like fresh cut grass and wood all over the place. Everyone eats bratwurst and brezel in beergardens and the flower's pollination looks like snow sparkling in the sunlight. Forests and parks are green in 100 different shades. You just wanna lay down and watch cotton ball clouds flying over you all day long... Okok enough of the hometown reverie. I'm just trying to paint you a picture here cause i thought this doesn't say anything:

And funny enough, although i feel excellent these days, some people still manage to cause me headaches. Besides my mom mothering all over me... Theres always enough boy drama to make me flip. whatever. so glad thats over and not my problem anymore. Like my wise friend said: "Time to turn the page". I couldn't feel any better about what God has planned for my future. I'm so excited and in my best shape ever! All the workout and heathy life has paid off and I can't wait to work again! I feel like I just wanna throw my life into a suitcase and travel around the world again! What's it gonna be? LA? Mumbai? Tokyo? One thing's for sure: more adventures for me and more drama for whoever comes along my way. Hehe. It's gonna be one awesome summer and I'm so gonna blog about it! And this time, I'm gonna tell you everything...

baby gazelles and hungry lions

2010-05-26T10:10:00.000-07:00

after two weeks at home and my mom stuffing my face with food i figured it was time to get my butt into shape again. girl's gotta get some work cause "money doesnt grow on trees" like people alway say. well. actually... doesnt money grow on trees? since it's made from paper and such... but anyways. i took some days off and went to visit my friend at the Red Sea. its beautiful here.

the hotel resort thingy she works for is great for sports and gym and healthy food... so all i do is eat, work out and relax. okay - and party - but dont tell anyone =)

besides the amazing Red Sea and the delicious food - its really hard to "not get too much tan" in this blazing desert sun. ugh. it's just impossible even tho i'm already jumping from shade to shade like a baby gazelle afraid to get a sun burn. my agency is probably going to kill me when i come back looking like chocolate mousse. ah well this awesome beach its worth the risk. and the past few days i've been a good girl using SPF 50+ and walking around undercover as a H&M ad with the biggest sun hat ever. trying to stay out of the sun and mostly in my airconditioned bedroom. which i guess is best anyways cause the egyptian men here are bothering like hungry lions. even tho there's death penalty on premarital holding hands or so. okay, maybe its jail for premarital sex. but scary enough. tzk tzk.

great vacation actually =) thats exactly what i needed for once. just lay around and do nothing. i even had time to read a book! geez. thats enough now. i gotta fly back to life asap. even tho... maybe just one more innocent walk at the beach...

au revoir.

No Place Like Home (:

2010-05-14T10:15:00.000-07:00

After 1.5 years of traveling i decided to come back home for a little vacation. cause there is just no place like home. good or bad. home is home.

my beautiful home is a little town in Bavaria, with the most beautiful castle ever - in my humble oppinion.

its so nice to sit in my mom's living room again, eat her healthy food and stare out the window at the green hills for hours. i realized how much i missed walking through German forests and smell the clear fresh air.

or just lay around on my best friend's couch. my favorite vacation destination i guess haha. hanging out with all my friends is so great every time i'm home. or just baking cakes and drinking tea with my girls... aw. so relaxing...

until we get to the part where i get the newest gossip about town. half my friends got married (the other half already is). my first sunday in church and everyone throws babies at me. i lost count already. my mom keeps telling me how to live my life... its back to like when i was 15. ugh. my ex just broke up with his gf, so - as usual - my friends tell me to marry him and stay in this small town forever. become a yoga teacher or what? ewwwk! no frickin way! i'm already getting sick of this place. i need a vacation from this vacation. quick!

Goodbye HONG KONG

2010-05-04T10:20:00.000-07:00

Today is my last day in Hong Kong and I must say I had amazing two months. At first i hated it, honestly, because goodbyes to Manila and the shitty weather in HK can make you quite depressed... but then i discovered this city has so much to offer!! from clubs and bars (where i guess we spend 90% of our time. ugh) to beautiful sights, museums, art galleries, parks, mountains, beaches, etcetc, that there is just no time for being miserable. Looking back, Hong Kong was one of my best experiences in Asia and I found lovely friends who - again - i will miss for sure. but thats part of life and you always see each other twice =)

After 1.5 years of nonstop traveling, i still think this is the best part of modeling. In the last year I have been to more places than in my whole life and even if i hate planes by now, i will never get tired of traveling. Its just a lot different if you life in a country for couple of months and really get the chance to learn about the culture and understanding the people. and whenever i have a day off from work, i try to go to some fascinating place like the Big Buddha and be the best German tourist i can be! ^^

BEST NIGHT EVER - THE WP

SOME TEMPLE - SHEUN WAN

HONG KONG NIGHT RACES

THE PEAK - HONG KONG

DEEP WATER BAY - HONG KONG

HONG KONG LIGHT SHOW

RED TAXIS

LADIES MARKET - MONG KOK

TIAN TAN BUDDA - THE BIG BUDDHA - HONG KONG

THE MONASTERY GARDEN AT BIG BUDDHA

Goodbye HK. I'll be back soon!

Philippino Notary

2010-03-04T22:14:00.000-08:00

in the Philippines everything is so much easier. especially if it comes to legal stuff. most times 500 PHP is enough to get you out of any kinda trouble. and in case you ever need something notarized, just drop by this sidewalk...

Pineapples Dont Grow On Trees

2010-02-23T21:45:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we went on a trip from Manila to Tagaytay - omg! They have the world's smallest active vulcano there! the famous Taal Vulcano! and guess what. the little vulcano is placed in a huge lake - which happens to be an old dead vulcano! its a vulcano in a vulcano! it seriously takes your breath away standing up on the mountain of the huge vulcano looking down on the small active one.

Like every good story, it started with a party. pretty much from where i took this picture. it was my friend's birthday and being a real estate mogul or something of course he owns the best house at the edge of this vulcano! so we all got some drinks and such at his place. Live band first and Mano - Philippines best DJ - started spinning the turntables and the party rocked.

like all good parties it got kinda blurry... so at 2am we drove down to the beach in Calacayan or so and fell asleep under the stars... the nature in the Philippines is just amazing. we saw like 5 shooting stars! and some UFOs. but yea... maybe not. haha. next morning we woke up at this beautiful little beach place to the sound of some angry monkeys. i bet they were full of rabies.

at the back you can still see the vulcano aawww. and after a crazy day of wakeboarding we went back up to the vulcano. we passed by some uber skinny horses carrying fat tourists and some weird looking fields.

i was like "what weird ass carrots do they have here?!" when i found out its PINEAPPLES! Being a little girl from Germany who just learned the tricky English language, i hope you would understand that i assumed pineAPPLEs grow on trees... well well... you always learn something on a jungle safari i guess. haha. anyways good thing that you never go anywhere without a driver here. so we ended up for couple more drinks back in some vulcano edge restaurant.

you gotta love the Philippines! every time i get out of smoggy Manila i'm amazed by the islands beauty.

5 Things To Do With Brazilians

2010-02-21T22:20:00.000-08:00

i looove Brazilians. they always look stunning and they speak with the most sexy accent. rawr!! they have the hottest supermodels in the world! they are everywhere on billboards, in magazines, on runways and TV... how could anyone not love them. i sleep with a Brazilian every night. errm... i mean share a room. since most of my roommates happen to be Brazilians. as a model you just cant escape those Brazilians...

anywho. enough of people. i want to talk about the Brazilian wax. i'm a total fan and i think its against nature to keep too much hair on your body anyways. as a model noone tells you to "please come hairy to the shooting". eew. and wax is one easy way to get rid of it! just try it! if you dont do it for yourself - then do it for the rest of us.

of course people are always complaining a wax in the Brazilian area is too painful. i'm not gonna lie - it is. but if all Brazil can do it, you'll survive it too. i do and i think my pain limit is pretty low... i just figured you have to distract yourself. and in fact there is so much stuff to do while someone is busy for 30 mins waxing your South American regions.

1. rearrange phone book
2. catch up with friends by texting everyone you havent spoken to since your last wax.
3. fix your schedule for next week.
4. online shopping for new bikini
5. think of who you're going to Rio with tonight

it will be over before you finish rearranging your phone book and you'll feel like a Brazilian beauty.

a very organized Brazilian beauty.

Runway Models...

2010-02-17T19:21:00.000-08:00

omg. yesterday i seriously thought i broke my nose. yea terrible thing. but for a model its death. for at least a couple of weeks. when i told my manager i wanted to get my nose x-rayed she almost fainted haha well, i guess my nose isnt broken after all. and tomorrow i have a client gosee for a makeup brand so i'll better hide in some spa all day to keep my nose away from more trouble.

i dont know why people always think modeling is like the easiest job in the world. yea, at times its pretty easy, i admit - but it can be freakin dangerous as well. i'm glad i'm just a commercial model and the most dangerous thing that can happen is standing at a roof top edge. i'm not gonna lie - i'm way too afraid to go on a runway...

eeek!

the hangover...

2010-02-16T01:41:00.000-08:00

the other night we went to a friends house for a beautiful garden party. but like so many times the day after the happy night turns into a total nightmare. not only do you get a massive hangover. but also there are these moments when you remember what actually happened last night. omg. its just a blur, but sometimes it kinda opens your eyes too...

and then you find these non-sense pictures! my oh my... or the terrible memories come back of silly bets you made cuz you were convinced to win. well... looks like someone's getting a tattoo now. since i said i would write a hater blog on E.H. >:o but seriously... how could anyone do that? yea... the french can be très annoying. mais ils sont trop chou aussi...

happy days...

happy valentines day and such

2010-02-13T05:33:00.000-08:00

what a beautiful song...

too bad life is not a love song...

smile! clickclick

2010-02-11T21:26:00.000-08:00

when i started modeling one year ago i had like the creepiest smile ever. haha. now i finally learned how to smile in front of the camera and luckily it comes quite natural even when some people point their cellphones in my face.

anywho. i kinda figured that really everyone has a beautiful smile. some people just dont know how to show it yet. its pretty easy tho. just DONT open your mouth like fully. only show the upper teeth and dont squeeze your eyes too much. done.

my favorite smile is the Kate Hudson smile

and even the cute Miley had to learn the camera smile first...

so worry not. just try it in front of your mirrow and next time take an amazing Kate Hudson shot.

and if you dont like smiling like everyone, just stick to your own style... like the jabbawockeez. hahaha =)

Manila gossip girl here...

2010-02-11T00:06:00.000-08:00

spotted: facebook status extraordinaire "i hate chuck bass, i want him to die" while chuck - or as much as he thinks he is - was playing games at his very own despedida... what happened? what did chuck do to the beautiful girl, that she hates him so much?

well. honestly - who cares. chuck, stop playing games. thats so 2009. fyi: while your despedida was revealing certain secrets - like word on the street says - and games were boring us to sleep, we decided to hit up other parties... nuvo, encore, icon - so many places... so little time.

you know you love me.

Healthy life =D

2010-02-04T20:00:00.000-08:00

one of my new years resolutions for 2010 is to live as healthy as i can. going to the gym at least 3 times a week. detox every now and then. take more time for my spiritual life. and live in harmony with nature. especially being a model i always have to keep my body and mind in good condition. cause not only are shootings very exhausting but also the stress and competition can be very hard for one's soul.

so this year i also decided to finally not eat meat anymore at all. cause meat is murder ;) haha and seriously - its just rotten animal that lays in your stomach for days and doesnt do you any good. i'd preferably stop eating all kinds of animal products. cause why would one drink milk if it's actually supposed to turn a sweet baby cow into a huge fat bull. who wants to be a huge fat bull? take it from me - after two months living über healthy its amazing how your body thanks you. not only do you get slimmer and fitter, but your skin gets this amazing healthy glow. check out my new pictures for Hanes! how healthy does that look hahaha =D

i know i know... now you think you would miss meat and milk and how could you ever live without it... but you seriously wont. cause right now your body is just addicted to it like it is to sugar or cigarettes. once you get over it, your body is free of all the rotten flesh and toxins that were in your body. then if you ever go back to eating fastfood or meat, your body will make it clear to you its not healthy at all. i really recommend it to everyone =) stop stuffing your beautiful body with crap and start eating more of the good stuff :) get in your pretty head, that you're doing your body something really good! it will be so easy. check out all the yummy things there are to eat =) your taste buds gonna party on your tounge =D

okay, enough of me being a vegan activist ;) who of course screws up every now and then with the healthy life like every human person ;) haha like yesterday when i had dinner at a very well known fastfood chain. ugh let me tell you dat: i couldnt sleep all night from the nausea and stomach pain >:(

clouds over Makati

2010-02-01T21:37:00.000-08:00

sometimes when you leave the house early in the morning, you take a look at the sky and it seems like its gonna rain today.

soon you realize its the dirty Makati rush hour smog. that doesnt exactly brighten up your mood when you're struggling with visa issues while you're still running from one to another casting. then you get stuck in traffic on Edsa for an hour and it seems like everything is going wrong today...

but worry not - behind every smog there waits the sun. and one hour later you finally get off your taxi and the sun is breaking through. thank God. maybe this day is gonna be a good one after all...

Salcedo Market

2010-01-25T04:25:00.000-08:00

if you're in Manila and you're wondering where to go on a Saturday morning, there is only one answer: Salcedo Market in Makati.

besides all the healthy and international food, you can also find little souvenirs and other Philippino odds and sods. or just try the very Philippino foods.

especially after a Friday night out its a good place to unwind and have some healthy drinks and fresh air in the park. watching the joggers, talking to local people or spot a celebrity hiding behind some dark shades.

i was amazed especially by the variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes! mmmh yum! cant wait til next Saturday when its Salcedo Market again :)

i left Australia on Saturday morning. it's been a wonderful time and i miss it already. thanks to everyone for such a great and extra long Christmas vacation! <3

but seriously... who wants to live in a land without sunsets anyways? yea the sunrises are beautiful, but i was so glad to look out of the plane window and after 6 weeks see a sunset again.

its soo good to see my friends again either!! oh i missed Manila. people mumbling Tagalog around me. running from casting to casting and sitting at Seattle's Best in Greenbelt. ooh Greenbelt is just such a happy place =) and its good to see that people here missed me too =) like the little puppy... who stole my fav shorts the first night to sleep on them awww!! i wuv you too haha

tomorrow work starts again with my first shoot! =D i'm excited!!

mmh... beach vacation

2010-01-10T19:14:00.000-08:00

now i finally understand why people love the Goldcoast of Australia so much. i've been here some times before, but this trip tops it all. we're in this wonderful apartment on the 14th floor watching the sunrise and the sailing boats on the sparkling water. the beach is just a few steps away from our house and even closer is our little spa and pool paradise. aww. you guys. theres nothing better then a relaxing vacation.

anyways, since obviously internet is prohibited in this building and no actual working wifi can be found >:( i just went downt to the club to send you all some greetings from my right-now-favorite place in the world =)

i'm off to the spa hehe

back on the horse.

2010-01-09T02:59:00.000-08:00

after almost 5 weeks of extreme vacationing we finally organized a shoot in Brisbane with the very talented photographer Anne K and mua Izaq O. i really love location shoots and that day we found some pretty awesome locations!

and after such long time of doing nothing at all. like seriously NOTHING. i was very happy to work again.

i'll upload some more pictures of this shoot soon...

now one more week at the beach and my vacation in Australia is almost over and. i'm pretty excited about work this year. first stop i'll go back to the Philippines... and then we'll see what else God has planned for me! =D

lovelovelove Vintage!!

2010-01-07T02:27:00.000-08:00

ok. everyone please calm down. i did not go all shopping crazy and bought a journal from Hermes for 250 USD. why would anyone do something insane like that? anyways. i did go shopping the past days tho. and it was amazing. my favorite by now is this cute little vintage shop almost right around the corner of where i stay. how DARE my friends not tell me about this store until now - like 4 weeks after i arrive in Brisbane. you're glad i dont have any time being mad at you sneaky people. i gotta buy everything from the little store >:) hehe... i already found so many treasures there. i just love love love vintage. everything that tells a story is so much more interesting than any brand new Hermes scarf. well... probably not everything hehe. but for sure this sweet little ring i found. its just sooo super shiny in the Australian sun. and it fits my tanned finger perfectly =D how beautiful is that!

xoE

grr... i love you Hermes scarfyy >:(

2010-01-04T04:19:00.000-08:00

thanks to RZ i'm in love with this beautiful Hermes journal now.

i wanna have it. i wanna feel its soft red leather in my hands. i wanna write in it with a cartier bullpen every uber exciting adventure of my life. i wanna buy a retro polaroid camera and stick those awesome pictures in my lovely journal. i wanna cut out amazing pictures from magazines and draw little sketches in my scrapbook. aaah and omg now i wanna buy all the scarfs Hermes has to offer as well, because they look so stunning in these ads and you can just wear them all over the place!!!

omg. everythings spinning around me! i need to go to the next Hermes store asap and buy stuff for 1000 USD - which would be one journal and one scarf. ugh - someone please confiscate my credit card. i'm having a serious shopping attack. i need to refocus. its not what i want. its not what i want. i dont want dead animal skin on my books and i only want recycled paper to write on. tomorrow i'll buy a nice journal, and it will be 100% painfree for Gods beautiful creation... and hopefully for my poor LV wallet too

2010... and other fairytales

2010-01-03T21:27:00.000-08:00

you guys know i cant lie to you... so honestly. i miss working in a office sometimes... besides my amazing new job as a model - which entre nous i would never wanna trade for any other job. EVER - all this vacationing is boring me out of my mind. its boring me that much, that i miss sitting in an office all day chatting with my cute colleagues in my cute little skirt with my cute little stockings tiping on my cute little computer.

yes, it was a great time. and i miss it. especially the after work partys. i miss the weekend trips to London and the Mediterranean... which has not exactly much to do with my office job... but i just miss you, beautiful Europe. and i cant wait to come back asap! well... hopefully in 2010. this year has so many things on my agenda already. my fairytale summer in Australia is almost over and it's about time to get my lazy butt back to work. so in case no one sends me a G-V to some amazing place like SoCal or the Cote d'Azur, then i guess i just gotta hit back to work. back to the Philippines. i really love Manila, however, your girl has to move on. there are so many offers all over the world right now, which sometimes makes it really hard to choose the next step...

anyway. God has prepared such an amazing 2010 for every one of us. all we have to do is learn to relax and go with the flow =) everything will turn out perfect!

wooha drop bears???

2009-12-31T21:43:00.000-08:00

the other day i was just going for a walk in the neighborhood and found these amazing animals along the street =D

okok... it was in a wildlife stuff and such zoo... but they do life around here!! like these little cuties! they life in our backyard too =D and i tell you... they're freakin loud in the mornings... >:(

well... of course not all of these sweet animals live in our garden.. like these shy little buddies.

how cute are they!! so why are these innocent tree kangoroos threatened with extinction? because we silly humans are cutting down all the trees they live on =( now there are barely any tree kangoroos left in the world. only in some spots like on a little island close to Australia. please everyone. we need to stop cutting all the trees.

safe our fresh air and the last tree kangoroos!

my new found independence

2009-12-10T22:47:00.000-08:00

sometimes you just have to free yourself from everything in order to get your mind clear. rethink your life. blah blah. you know about that. so since my lovely blackberry is not with me anymore anyways, i decided to not have a phone on this vacation for the 6 weeks in Australia. cause a phone just distracts you from thinking bout real important stuff. and makes you "sooo dependent", like a certain someone always says. if people wanna contact me, just email me and i check whenever i want... so now after almost two successful weeks of no phone and full "independence" i can say with no doubts: it sucks. yea. your life pretty much completely stops. totally. you get frustrated cause suddenly you depend on your freakin emails. or your bf's phone and such. not having a cellphone is like the craziest thing ever. think about it. how would you contact people. how can you stress out your manager. just leave your beautiful phone alone in the room all day?? what was i thinking!!! so today i went to the phone store and got a new sim card. and guess what. i even got it for free =D and then they gave me 50$ bonus credit for like nothing! amazing =D you can imagine how that already cheered me up hehe. my life totally started over instantly. i even won another 15$ extra credits aaaah =D and now my friends can finally call me again =D

well, not sure i'll pick up tho. i'm still on vacation!!! :p

just.. breathe...

Brisbane - day 7

2009-12-06T23:42:00.000-08:00

one week in Australia and i gotta say - i'm really relaxed now =) its just sooo nice here... why is it everywhere in the world sooo much more relaxed than in Germany? its sooo easy living here... i wish Gemany one day would learn to relax. maybe i'd consider coming home then :p

free time... and such

2009-12-03T23:12:00.000-08:00

well well... i've been on vacation for barely a week now... and the little workaholic in me is getting kinda bored. dont get me wrong - the lazy couchpotato in me is way stronger and i just love to relax and do nothing at all =) but i kinda miss work... so i'll send my pictures to some agencys here as well... wish me luck =)

heloo Australia

2009-12-01T19:12:00.000-08:00

sometimes i forget to google where i'm going and it feels like i'm still in Europe... the world is so small once you start to travel. and i seriously lost track of timezones about a months ago... anywho. that's where we are right now:

Australia. After the 12 hrs travel from Manila to Brisbane, Terelyn finally reunited =D

Starting my fabulous vacation with a party at the Gold Coast.

After 8 months in white skin loving Asia, i finally could get a nice tan at that amazing beach.

Australian summer is just great! Its hot, but not as humid as in Asia. Today its even a chill summer rain. I enjoy the time here so much! Yesterday we went up to the mountains. Its soooo good to finally breath some fresh air and feel the cold of the wind again. I missed that soo much.

i gotta say - i think Australia is pretty much just like Germany. well. except the weird english accent, driving on the wrong side, such diverse plants and trees and shiz, the beautiful beaches and wacky animals... but besides that. its just like Germany =)

thanks to everyone for a great last night! =) it rocked. aple de ap ap was spinning. we were partying until 4 am. and i got to see my dearest friends before i leave. i'll really miss you all so much... =( oh and thanks for giving me the worst hangover for my flight >:o ahaha

well... after the most stressful day of waking up waaay to late and then spaing all day. i managed to pack my suitcase anyways and got to the airport 1.5 hrs before my flight. 5 kilos overweight but the darling people just put a "priority" sticker on my stuff and asked if i need assistance to my gate cause i have such terribly heavy hand luggage 0:) très nice! and then. guess what! i had to go through freakin 10 security checks. this is nuts. Australia seems to be even worse than US or EU... myyy... i thought you guys were so relaxed hehe. okok... maybe i should mention i am carrying a verrrry suspicious pokerset in a shiiiiny silver case hahaha but seriously this immigration and security part makes international traveling a nightmare. nevertheless i'm happy to be on a safe flight =) now i'm boarding to Sydney. cant wait to see the land of kangoroos and koala bears! =D i'm so thankful i get the chance to go there. omg i'm exciiited!! =D

PS the people behind me dont seem that excited -.- haha
