Hello 2022!: Resolutions and ambitions

-

 Hello there 2022!

It's been a long time since I've last posted here and I thought it would be a shame to put this entire blog to rest. For now I try to update whenever I want without any pressure at all! :) I think this solution suits me best. Now on to my resolutions and ambitions for 2022!

Journaling

I really love my current journaling system: A hobonichi Techo for my daily adventures and a hobonichi weeks for work. This is something I can handle perfectly well and I love to flip through old entries! I also want to publish some youtube videos from time to time! 

Drawing

Besides my Etsy drawings, I totally want to draw more ACEOs again! I haven't forgotten about the ACEO swaps and I hope that I will juggle work and leisure time better, soon. Since playing Pokemon Legends Arceus I am eager to draw some Pokemon again! 

Private

We are getting married this year and besides work (sensei & Etsy) it takes a toll on me to organize everything. But we have a location, we made a test dinner last week (it was GREAT!), we have a DJ and we have clergyman... So it's "only" all the small things for now! 
I want to renovate our apartment even more, but we are so exhausted after work and preparing lessons for the next day that we haven't done a lot in the last couple of weeks...! But I am sure this is gonna change soon. <3

Etsy

My sticker shop in Etsy is running well, but I want to make it even better! I plan to release 3-5 items every month in my "Nagisa's Journal" shop. Since I am crazy, I also plan to launch a second or even a third shop (soaps & templates). I am working hard on this right now, but it still will take some time.

Travelling

I really really really realllllllllllllly want to travel again! ;___; I miss visiting other countries, see their culture and taste their food! I am so glad that we already booked our honeymoon to Paris, because my Fernweh is nearly killing me! X'D I want to travel to Japan! And to many other countries (again)! 

Dreams (of the distant future)

In my life, I had three BIG dreams:
1. Become a teacher. (I became one last year!)
2. Become a teacher in Japan. (Never gonna happen, sadly)
3. Own a house and model it after my/ our dreams.
I wish we could buy a house and remodel it, but sadly, prices are exploding and even with the salary of two teacher this dream is in the far distance. I want our own house - just the two of us. No angry father-in-laws, no rude siblings, just my better half and I. I want to earn as much money through side-hustling as I can to make this tiny possibility even a little bit bigger. Maybe this sounds greedy, but I won't give up this dream until it comes true. There hast to be a possibility to earn this much money... ;___; *cries*

Other


Thanks for reading and sticking with me the whole time! I really try to become a better version of myself this year and try some different hobbies as well! Let's make the best out of 2022!

Still one of my favorite spreads! I always loved notebooks, stickers and washi tape and had fun buying them, but I hardly used or filled them. So March 7th, 2016 marks a special day for me: I came upon the word "hobonichi" thanks to Kaila from rainbowholic . Seeing her cute, artistic and positive way of cherishing memories really echoed within me. I still know that I grabbed the first notebook of my shelf and started "hobonichi-ing"! Because at that time (and many month later! X'D) I didn't know that the word "hobonichi" wasn't the word for "cute, artistic journaling", but for a company, which produces popular notebooks and wonderful, fitting covers!: Homepage My very first entry! I simply wanted to fill some pages. That was my desire up till today. I want to fill the pages of the notebooks with wonderful snippets of my life which I would forget otherwise! I wrote a diary as a kid, but... I hardly had the time to do so when I began wo

Hey there, long time no read! I hope the New Year has treated you well! :)  I always get the feeling that January is the longest month of the year because so many new things happen and it is quite dark, isn't it? My New Year started with lots of resolutions which I am going to talk about in the next blog post! Regensburg I finally found the time to visit my long-time friend Ryu (twitter: gruenerlauch)! We talked for hours and I was SO excited to discover the beautiful sides and houses of Regensburg!  First stop: A cat Café! Guests and cats alike enjoyed the snacks here!  I had my first vegan Tiramisu, which the called TiraMIEZu! What a cute pun! I am losing my MIND OVER THE BEAUTY OF REGENSBURG! HOW COOL IS THIS TOWER??? Don't mind me audibly GASPING over these houses! They look like from a fairy tale, don't they?! We also visited a manga shop called Manga Mafia! This is the first time in years since I saw so many figures at once! ;0;) <3  I adore the way they present th

 Hey there! Welcome to the last blogpost of the year! Isn't it crazy how fast this year went by? I am still processing 2020 as I often notice that I am thinking: "WHICH YEAR IS IT?!" and my students have to help me. :'D This time, I want to do my regular recap and at the end a kind of... future prospects for 2023! Sneak peak! Private December is always a crazy and stressfull month, but this one topped all of them! X'D I am glad that everything went smoothly and I was anticipating the time to sleep and relax A LOT!  I went to the theatre with a friend - this was the first time since the pandemic and I enjoyed the atmosphere SO MUCH! We watched "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (German: Tschitti Tschitti Bäng Bäng) It was such a cute musical! Even if it was aimed at children, I had tons of fun!  Last minute shopping in Pflanzen Kölle, one of my favourite garden centers! They turn their whole shop into a magical Christmas-world! I want to buy EVERYTHING! The displa
