A trip in pictures.

So, I'm back from Berlin, and since I'm currently really tired, I was thinking instead of writing lots and lots of stuff about the whole trip (that everyone will forget or be too lazy to read anyway haha) I'm just gonna post some pictures here. Yes? Good idea? I KNOW ^__^

The show!!(with muserine)

(with German comedian Christian Ulmen as Uwe Wöllner -bitch drank half of my beer. psh.)

(muserine and German director Detlev Buck)

(in clockwise direction: diamondoftears, MEEEE, the really cute German YouTube partner support girl Verena, muserine, Pockhuhnfilm, mystery guy, manniacmind, AericWinter)

(with Pockhuhnfilm, muserine and Verena)

(with muserine. and beer. of course.)


The city!!(the Berlin Cathedral)

(an attempt at not freezing with ralfonzo83 in front of the Brandenburg Gate)

(unfortunately, I forgot the name of that church. It's still pretty though! In the front: the Spree)

(the entrance of the part of the Sony Center, where the show took place)

(the roof of the Sony Center)

(the Fernsehturm at night. Mmmm, foggy!)

The photobooth whores!!(with Ralfonzo83)

(with muserine and Ralfonzo83)

(with Ralfonzo83)

(in clockwise direction: Redfrettchen, manniacmind, Pockhuhnfilm, MEEEE, Ralfonzo83, muserine)

(with Ralfonzo83)

(with muserine)

(with muserine, Ralfonzo83, Pockhuhnfilm)

SO! If you made it this far, here, have a cupcake.
I suggest you click on all those links there (geez, even if you could care less, do it for meeeee because it took forever to post them lol)

Those five days in Berlin were most excellent, and were over way too fast. And I wanna say thank you to muserine and her boyfriend for letting me stay at their place (you two are the bestest hosts of all time, seriously) and also thank you to YouTube (I know you read my blog, YouTube) for throwing such a nice little party there. Including two open bars...(yeah, thanks, really. It's always nice to check your own Twitter profile the next day and read the rather strange things you've posted at a time where you should just NOT touch your phone or a computer at all...)

I've never before experienced some sort of after-gathering-blues, but I do this time. I miss you, and I hope we meet again soon.

Observing yourself.

Haiiiiiiiiiii my sexy blog reader, how are things in your part of the world?

Things in Kiwi-land are fabulous. I'm having so much fun with the PJ Club (yah yah I mentioned that in the previous post too), and especially the people on there, and also my daily vlog challenge that I set for myself on my beta-channel reminds me so much of why I even started posting videos on the internet.. it's fun. And it feels right.
As most of you probably know, I'm an editing whore. If there is something I can do for 40 hours straight, it's editing. Doesn't have to be fancy or complicated, but as long as I can work on a video in SOME way, I'm a happy Kiwi.

Also, the whole one vlog a day thing feels like documenting my life in some way, and I'm still interested in how that will go for me. Now the usual thoughts of "where will I be in a few weeks/months" have changed into "where will I record videos then?". That might be a weird concept for you if you don't vlog, but the ones that do will understand what I mean and why I have those thoughts.
Posting videos on the internet is a strange thing. You get to see yourself in a different light. You become your own observer, if you want to call it that. Through that, you get to learn a lot of new things about yourself. How having some sort of "audience" (even if that's still a strange thing for me to understand, that there's an actual audience that watches and participates through comments etc.) influences you. Because it's true, being on YouTube HAS changed me, I'm sure it changes everyone to a certain point, it's just a completely new situation, something that not many people get to experience. All the ups and downs that come along with it, creative blocks and outbursts as well as getting to know (and love) people on this e-level. You collect some sort of circle of friends that maybe even get to know you better than the ones you have irl. And yes, I do realize that that's a strange thing, but it's also an interesting and good thing, I'd say.
To make a long story short, I'm excited and happy about having resurrected my beta-channel and using it for daily vlogs now. I really wanna try to make a video a day there. It's good to keep me in a video making mood (as you also may have noticed, I've been slacking in that department a bit in the second half of 2008) and like I mentioned before, I. Love. Editing. It's really that simple.

Some people might say, whoever has the time to make one video a day has no life. That, my sexy reader, is completely untrue. I've been more busy irl in the past few weeks than I have been in the months before that, and still I find the time to make videos.
Why? Probably because I don't watch TV. If you think about it like that: the average time one spends everyday watching TV is about 4 hours (so I've read somewhere. Might be more or less and also vary from country to country of course). It's easy for me to shoot, edit and upload a video in less than 4 hours. While doing that, I still get to talk to people, I'm learning new things with every video really, and that's that!

Point being: I have fun with what I'm doing here, and I'm looking forward to do more! Also, the people I'm talking to online are the most creative and inspiring people I have ever met (yes, I say "met", not "e-met" or some crap like that) in my life, and I truely and deeply love you. You know who you are. CHEESY! Cheesy is good. Ha!

That's all from me today. I hope you're all doing fantastic as well, and I shall talk to you in one way or another soon!

omg wow

It's January 17 already?! How the.. what the.. WHEN??
Seriously, time flies by when you have things to do and plans and fun and blah, and wow, I seriously wanted to blog more. Oh well!

Soooo how are you doing my lovelies? I'm most fabulous, been working a lot, been learning tons of new things about editing and all that cool stuff we do here on the internet, been making music (yaha, kinda. Sorta. Well yes ok, I have.), been writing, been editing a little more.. and it's awesome to have so much planned, even if it sometimes seems to be a bit overwhelming and I have my problems to find a starting point for everything.
BUT it's all good, I enjoy and embrace it and honestly, when I'm home these days and NOT working on anything, I don't even know what to do with myself.
Goodbye times where I was just sitting in front of my laptop, watching random shows or movies. THIS is way better!

I've had an awesome e-birthday party over at a special bday channel, and once again I wanna say thanks to everyone who thought of me that day and wished me a happy birthday. It was so sweet to receive all those messages and comments!

Also, I've been re-thinking my beta-channel concept and after uploading my last vlog (which was actually two vlogs) to my main channel and the usual e-identity crisis that uploading vlogs always made me have [on one hand I love making and watching vlogs, on the other hand I hate them. Haha], it just seems like a good idea to post vlogs and little snippets of my life that I maybe wanna share on my secondary account. Even though I've felt like simple vlogs on my main channel don't make too much sense and don't belong there for a whole while now, that feelings has grown stronger in the past weeks or even months, and separating that more seems to be a good idea to me.

So! I'm uploading a vlog as we speak (or more like: as I'm writing this right now) and I have to edit some more so I'll keep this blog post short.
I'm excited about the PJ Club and it's fabulous to have a playground for yourself and your friends.

With a Ton O'Luv,
Kiwi

PS: Can't wait to go to Berlin on the 28th :D
