Warum zu Spät?

Warum schreibe ich?
Es ist doch zu spät.
Was halte ich davon, wenn ich nix anders als das Schreiben mich zu befassen habe?

Morgen ist frei weil es Gute Freitag ist, was soll ich denn machen? Vlad hat gerade seine Haare geschnitten aber welche Rolle spielt es in diesem Kontext. Welchem Kontext? In dem Kontext des Lebens. Weiß du........fast alle intelligente Leute genießen ihr Leben nicht, weil es gar nicht möglich ist. Wir denken zu viel darüber nach, zu viel über normale Sache , die eigentlich nichts ist. Ich weiß nicht warum ich schreibe, es könnte sein, dass ich eine Prüfung in Zukunft habe und möchte meine schriftliche Ausdruck verbessern. Romy ist im Wohnzimmer, und es ist schon zu spät, aber sie schlaft nie.

Sie ist immer da, wenn sie immer da ist.

   Wie ein Geist, ein Geist in meinem Kopf.

Ich habe nicht den Verstand verloren sondern nur will etwas neues und mit ein Bisschen Kreativität schaffen

The Strongest holding matte/pomade hair wax/clay in the world

So I've got this really stubborn hair and guess what its a real b**** when it comes to using any styling product on it and its really thick and strong sort of like Asian hair and it would usually not hold its shape for anytime longer than around 1 or 2 hours. So naturally I wondered what the strongest holding wax or clay or pomade in the world is desperately wanting to use that product because nothing else worked for me it was so frustrating when right out of the shower my head would be super sexy after sometime outside it would just weigh itself down like an anvil being dropped on someone's head.

 

    Yeah it sucked! So I turned to uncle Google, I took to the internet and searched high and low on sites like eBay Amazon and so on for numerous reviews and ratings in my quest to find out the strongest holding Ultra firm clay/wax in the world. But soon enough I started to notice something interesting which was that most of the products had the labels 'Ultra strong hold' or 'Ultra firm hold' 'Concrete hold' or 'Super stronghold' and nearly all of them were rated by the reviewers as being either good or excellent with no real comparison between products.

  For example,some would say that the Hanz de Fuko claymation had the strongest hold ever but another reviewer reviewing something like TiGi Bed Head would write "this product has the best hold ever" so as you can imagine it was a real dilemma and there was no clear-cut winner. 

   There was no choice, so what I did was I ordered nearly all of these products and tried them on in an attempt to pit them against each other :

TiGi Bed Head Hard to Get
Oasis Mess Up
S factor creamy moulding wax
Garnier surf style hair
Gatsby Rubber Spikey Edge
Paul Mitchell Firm Style Dry Wax
American Crew Pomade
Toni & Guy Styling Fibre
Studio Lines Invisi’ Hold 24hour Natural
AVEDA men pure-formance™ grooming clay
Go 24.7 Styling Cream and Grooming Cream
Schwarzkopf 3D Mension Mattifying Cream
Kiehl’s Creative Cream Wax
Lavera Strong Hold Styling Gel
Hanz De Fuko Claymation
Hanz De Fuko Quicksand

Needless to say, this bore no fruits as all of them disappointed but soon enough something else hit me and it was the Eureka moment that I was waiting for - I started searching for some DIY homemade wax solutions and came across numerous blogs outlining the basics of homemade wax preparation. I thought to myself, 'hey why not just give this thing a shot I mean it doesn't hurt to try right and if it goes wrong I've got nothing to lose' because these were very very cheap solutions.

   The first time that I made some of my own they were okay but not that good - satisfactory but not excellent - so I decided to do some experimenting of my own because I wanted to try find out the wax with the strongest hold in the world and that was when I stumbled upon the magical recipe with the perfect ratio and frankly it blew me away!

  This homemade solution vastly outperformed all other products on the list when it came to holding power and the best part is that this product is totally organic which means no toxic materials on your hair doing damage and messing with your head. Furthermore this can be easily worn and easily washed away with some shampoo and guess what? It held my hair up much longer and firmer than any other product. It was perfectly mouldable throughout the day and some hairspray would be a match made in heaven. Oh and did I forget to mention that this product also lasts a lifetime but costs a fraction of the heavyweights?

 So without further ado here's the recipe for you to try it out yourself but always remember to always use a hair dryer before you apply the product! :

INGREDIENTS

• 3 Tbsp. beeswax 
• 1 Tbsp. Shea butter (you can substitute this with unrefined coconut oil if you like, but shea butter is less greasy)
• 1 Tbsp. jojoba oil (you can use almost any other carrier oil here, such as olive, almond, apricot kernel, or even coconut oil.)
• 1 Tbsp. arrowroot powder or non-gmo corn starch (optional, takes some of the grease out from the oils. If you like a little bit of glossy shine then don't worry about this option.)
• 2 vitamin E pills (optional)

**This may be too hard to apply if the temperature is too cold, if so, heat using a hairdryer then apply or change increase the amount of Shea Butter whilst keeping the beeswax in the same amount.

DIRECTIONS

1. In a double boiler, (I usually use a pyrex bowl in a sauce pan of boiling water as my makeshift double boiler) melt the beeswax and shea butter, stirring every so often.
2. When the beeswax and shea butter is melted, allow to sit on heat for 20 minutes to process the shea butter.
3. Mix together arrowroot powder and jojoba oil in a small bowl, until arrowroot is dissolved into the oil. If using Vitamin E to lengthen the shelf life of the pomade,  poke the vitamin E pills squeezing the contents into the bowl and let cool until hardened.
4. Remove shea/wax mixture from heat, and add arrowroot/jojoba oil mixture.
5. Using your hand mixer, blend the hair pomade until it begins to turn into a pudding/taffy like texture. (It shouldn't take too long, since there is a decent amount of beeswax in the recipe!)
6. Scoop into your designated container and store in a cool dark place.
7. Use only a small pea sized amount on hair. A little goes a long way!

Places where you can collect an internationally shipped item (mail or parcel) as opposed to them being delivered to your doorstep

Ok imagine the scene, you're on vacation and during your break you're surfing the net when you see this hot item on Amazon or Ebay for a mammoth 20% discount but you immediately realize that you would not be staying in the same hotel for the next few days, so you wonder how you can order an item and pick it up when you don't even have a permanent address?

   

      Well now you don't have to wonder anymore because with services such as mailboxes ETC the world has become a better place. You can now order an item and pick it up at one of their offices. 

   

    Yes it's really that simple! And if you live in Europe or any other surrounding country you can have access to "pack stations" which is basically just an automated way of doing the same thing that mailboxes ETC does. Think of it as an ATM machine for parcels - which is expecially true in Germany which has one of the best pack stations in Europe where all you have to do is register with Deutsche Post and get a gold card with which you can use the adress of the PackStation and then when your item arrives at the ATM like station all you have to do is put in the card and open your locker and withdraw the items.

     Now most people would suggest that you rent a P.O or mailbox but frankly this method is much easier because it has lower fees as opposed to a monthly subscription for for renting a mailbox which can set you back around at least 20 euros a month. However the amount varies in mailbox EDC depending on how popular the city is (how many parcels are stored and what storage space is available) but it would only cost you at most around 10 euros with average prices of 5 euros the norm. 

   So I recommend you give it a try since there are available in several locations within a country and in most major cities there are around 5 to 10 offices. It's really convenient and cost-effective as well especially if you're on a tight budget.

Samsung Galaxy A8 Overexposed Camera

Im not kidding, when there's too much light, the camera gets overexposed and cannot differentiate the colors correctly and as a result most of it gets washed out like the lush greens in grass. However when it comes to shooting at a more manageable surrounding with more even lighting it performs wonders! Take a look at some A8 samples below :

Im Back!! : Hello World

Hello world!

I'm back with a brand new website, those of you who previously visited treblesquemusic.com welcome back!

And those of you who are new, well, welcome!

In the past month or so I learned some valuable lessons about privacy and most important of all, about life itself

First off I had my privacy leaked or rather exposed therefore I had to shut down my Google, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and so on. I had to erase my identity online (although technically thats never possible) and start over.

As if I've been given a second passport, a second chance at life. Worst of all was the fact that I had to erase my blog in the process as well (rename and hide more like it)

Oh and the second thing about life?

That's just the usual crap that people learn..... I'm still waiting for my visa to arrive and am sort of worried it won't make it in time and I'd have to hustle hard in the end as usual. I worry a lot but that's exactly what helps me be prepared and I consider it both a blessing and a curse.

  On the bright side I bought the Samsung Galaxy A8 and my word that thing is sexy. It's the slimmest thing ever and I love the addition of Samsung Knox to keep all my data private. Awesome, although I'm slightly worried about having my fingerprint hijacked. I mean after all they're valid till eternity. The phone does heat quite fast but it dosent overheat, it maintains that way for a long time so that's a plus.

As far as the camera, well unless you live on the sunny side of the world you're not gonna have any problems since my word this thing overexposed, sometimes the white gets blown out which makes out the green grass at home look like it's been treated to some heavy bleaching.

Still, love the battery and the expandable storage (life saver) since I hoarde apps. Hey since when did this become a tech post? It's supposed to be my comeback season....2.0?

Funny Story : Public Speaking and the Friendzone

Oh man what a weird day.....

We headed out to a 5 star hotel to attend a Public Speaking Seminar thanks to some heavy nagging by our pops and as usual we got there early. The hotel was largely empty at that early hour so I had no trouble cooling my nerves while we waited in the lobby, me with my Xperia Z in my hand.

Amazingly though white collars started turning up at the registration desk but thankfully we found our seat next to a guy our age, 17 and after some time was joined by a girl..... A chick.... Okay a hot chick.

Within a few minutes our table was filled with eight, four of us (my sis included) and some older dudes (oh the male to female ratio). We had quite the time breaking the rock solid ice and soon enough we got our chance to speak. And me, having spoken German for so long blurted our some American accented English which provoked the guy I was with to ask if I was a foreigner. Hahaha fuck yeah I was flattered.

At the tea break we did some acquaintancing and by lunch at the quite awkward-nevertheless-classy Arabic Restaurant we ate some salad topped off with sea food and some soul sucking chatter from the girls. Yes we sat opposite to them. Damn I always make a mental note to never stay near my sis but it always ends up that way. I'd rather walk naked in public than hear her "socialize" which basically involves 99% of her own anecdote. Or maybe its just a 'male thing'

   Sadly though the chick was no different. Quite the combination. She went off about her weird brother who used to get all the girls n shit, which sparked my curiosity nonetheless. Oh and did I mention that other guy was all ears on the girls and even joined in (so much for company!), well I did too by correcting their horrible French, it's 'comment tu t'appelle' people!

The poor guy, okay half nerd, half super nerd with apparently lower grades than me wouldn't talk with me and would rather be feminized. Jesus Christ man, how could he withstand nuclear radiation for so long??? I was already choking and probably sick (half by the salad). It there something about the way girls talk that makes all guys on planet earth bored at the first word? Me? I blame it on the pitch. How can someone take someone else with an extremely high pitched voice seriously? No offense but it's the same quality that I find attractive as well, a sense of ambivalence perhaps?

The poor guy tried so hard to impress her.....so hard that I felt sorry for him, watching him put in all that effort. Don't people realize it when they get handed some barbed wire........ for the friendzone. Ahahahaha I could've died laughing my butt off if I hadn't already had thoughts of chasing after her in my quest for temporary satisfaction.

Oh and then there was this mean looking quite ugly guy (why am I hating so much?) and his friend with this iPhone, so I went over there and like a complete idiot started admiring his iPhone.  After twirling the damned phone in my hand for quite a while, it just became awkward and yeah, I left, only to catch a glimpse of this mean guy passing a wtf smile. He must've thought I was some weird Australian or smmn especially given what happened at the end, which I will come to.....at the end. 

This episode soon followed with depression due to feeling left out of the group.... Again. I mean everyone was making decisions and I had barely said a word. It was obviously my fault that I had nothing to add but I felt bad nevertheless and my usual 'pretend that your are soul-less' method didn't work since I felt too damned self conscious. Made worse only by the fact that the other guy was digging quite the hole in the friendzone. Come to think of it maybe he just wanted to be friends.... Or then again maybe not, since he asked her to text him or Smmn, not like I care anyways, by then I've realised the magic formula :

Shy girls >>>>>
Yeah now try finding a blue eyed blonde haired shy girl.

Moving on

I somehow recovered from this depression with a mammoth effort by brainstorming ideas and communicating. Oh yeah, it was that simple...........yet that hard. 

Why the hell is everything a conundrum?

Towards the end there was this weird sexual topic that caused much debate, and got even weirder when one dude, okay oldie, okay oldude started ranting about the million sperms to one egg. Like wtf? (I just hoped he wasn't hinting at the male to female ratio) It was met quite sternly with some just as strange egg comments from a female. And It dosent end there, they managed to cover prostitution, teenage pregnancy and marriage. So basically it doubled as a sex education workshop. Which was fine, since we got the most bang (Ahem!) for our buck.

At the end however we had this raffle draw offering full schols to another one of their (god knows what next time) workshop.... Why on earth would I wanna come again? - Unless they actually practiced sex the next time - so me being me, jotted down a fake name. And would you believe it? It got chosen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The host held up the mic and called for 'Kenny Cutlery' 
Oh man I had a field day, going up there and collec........ Being asked to write down my real name. **Australian guy, remember? 

Anyways I ended up transferring the award to my fallen brother in the friendzone, excuse my grammar. Ich vergesse english, und ich bin nicht ein German.

Oh and there was also this other girl, who sat on the faaaaaaaaaaar end Table. (again, ratios) I made a note to make eye contact with her just to remind myself how good I was at flirting and at first she played had to get which came off as 'why's that creep staring at me' however much to my surprise after the program ended and when we headed for tea, she was right there waiting for me. Like a magnet, always within my proximity. Maybe it was the coffee but at tea my engines roared to life and I started socializing with the older, well okay, cooler dudes in our group....oh and also mature.

There was this one guy who was down to earth the type that didnt care about his surrounding, perhaps even unaware. He wore glasses and as usual I opened up with his iPhone, which was quite the small thing with the 4.5 inch screen - he said he was loved smaller screens (I was just glad it wasn't a girl who said that....."oh size dosen't matter honey, I love them small anyway") He looked like he was in his thirties but damn this guy was 46. Yeah, that went about with the rest of the other dudes until it was time to say farewell

when I asked the chick

the hot chick

if I could.........

See a pic of his bro,

which unfortunately came out wrong and was immediately met with the dreaded "are you gay?" out loud. Embarrassingly and yet also thankfully she showed me a pic and I realized that his bro wasn't really all that good looking. Fuck me. I felt ashamed by it but brushed it away since my episode of socialising was a success.......depending on whose viewpoint you take.

  At the end we met her mother and hugged goodbye with me whispering quite cheesily "I'm not gay okay"

Let me put it this way, it was just plain awkward.

Oh and we also did some singing, moving in circles, laughing, oathing, and oh yeah ironically public speaking.

Now since I don't want this post to revolve around the chick I will now add some dots to take you as far away as possible from my embarrassments
