the typical bavarian.....

tourist trip ;)

Guess what I did yesterday?
For the first time in my life, i made the trip every tourist in Germany does!
Going to Neuschwanstein Castle...the "bavarian fairy tale castle"!

So I did this trip with some friends yesterday.
And it was quite awesome not to understand to hear all the different languages from all the tourists all over the worl climbing the the way from the car-park to the castle.

Here you can find more impressions about this trip in my webalbum

The end of the story is:
I realized that the tourist places in my homeland are really nice and I can somehow understand the tourists, why they take the way to this castle...

Maybe lateron i will tell you the story behind the castle....from the legendary king Ludwig II., his life and hist dead...thats real bavarian history ... :)

Dear friends,
have a nice day,

In praise of my team (TSV 1860 Munich) for the first 4 matches

After some years of frustration and breadowns,
my beloved soccer team seems to be back on track...
they won three of the first 4 matches in the 2nd German Bundesliga!

And best is, with their very cheap, but good teamspirit, they do not just win, they play a very worth seeing soccer, they celebrate the game and they celebrate their wins..which gives me hope, that this season is more possible as in the last seasons.

If anybody comes to munich and wants to visit a soccer match of this club in this new fantastic stadium...give me a line, i will join you ;)

Hugs,
Tobi

new job , new home!

As i will start my new job in November in Frankfurt, i had to find a new flat! :)
Two weeks ago, i was in Frankfurt to see about 12 flats in one and a half days.
Thanks god, Sven helped me driving through Frankfurt all day long and being very patient. Thank you again for that ! :)

What should i tell you?
The first ten flats were just impossible to move in..Either they have been in an ugly neighboorhood, to small, to expensive or above a typical "Döner-Bude"....and i dont have to have the smell of Döner all day long;)

So, we sat down on day 2 at 7 p.m. in a nice park, frustrated about all the flats we `ve seen so far and were lauging about the experiences with house owners, brokers...people living in this flats and so on.....and i almost gave up and wanted to come back one or two weeks later for another try...!

but, the last two flats we saw were direct hits...On flat directly on the river Main, 4th floor (with elevator ;) ) , close to my work place, close to the bars in Sachsenhausen! The other flat is located directly in Sachsenhausen in a nice neighbourhood...an appartment in an on old building, very beautiful, but unfortunately without kitchen and without the possibilty for a space in the basement.

So, my favourite was the flat directly located to the river Main, where i can perfectly do my latest hobby "Nordic Walking" (yeah, big fun ha ha ha) and i get the confirmation for this flat today. Very very cool...i will move in at the end of October and i am very excited about that!

On the pictures you can first recognize, where I am going to live and secondly my daily way to work ;)

Have a nice weekend,
Tobi

uuuh, aaaah, the belly button popped out ! ;)

today a small story of my surgery two weeks ago.... :)

everything started if i remind right last december...
at the XSM I realized...there is something wrong about my belly button.....it came out ha ha :)
but i didnt take care that much, it was not hurting or whatever...just came out ;)

i didnt mind...my girlfriend found it funny....
"ha ha , you belly button popped out, thats soooo funny!"
so, i just let it be.....

until the day i had to go to the doctor and i had to put my shirt off and i heard a small but hurting comment...
"Mr. Wenhart", you have a umbilical hernia!" my comment was just: "aham, whats that?" and what does it mean?"
and he said: "you need a surgery" ..... then i was like:"shit...i hate hospitals... i hate injections...i hate narcosis, i hate boring silence, i hate the food there, .... i , ok there is no other way! ;) i have to take it.....

just one week later i had my surgery...it went pretty well...although it was boring, i got injections, narcotic, bad food, a stupid roomate, all you can wish...but after two days i could go home...and rest there

was not that bad...just the story of a popping out belly button...further details via email conversation ha ha ...

ambitous and emotional?

dear friends,
today is not the most shiny day ;)
When it comes to soccer i can get very emotional and this happened this dark morning....not bad, but emotions ...

Imagine, some friends and me, we are playing a virtual soccer manager league, based on the german "Bundesliga". You have a certain amount of virtual €s and therefore you can buy "YOUR" team. With this specific team i compete in our own league agains my friends.
After every matchday every real player is evaluated with remarks and for the game you get points dependending on the remark, goals, assists.

And yeah, last week, my start in the new season was quite good, my "star-striker" Klose scored like hell and so i was leading our Championship. The second matchday, well it was not the best for me, but there were some players, who should have get a good score. One of those players was Lucio, a Brazilian Midfielder from the Berlin team! So i counted with a place in the midfield for this matchday, to keep a position in the first third of the league.

As i sucked last year in the league, this years motivation to be better is higher ;)

But, what did i have to read? -6 points for my brazilan star...... -6 points.....wow...i couldnt believe that, it was not realistic, he was the best player in his team the last match, had two assists, so it is just not possible.....so i thought, it was a mistake by the webpage and i get the real score afterwards...and i would have been not that bad either this week ;)

Wrong thought ha ha ha......imagine, the player got the worst remark, cause a new rule in this magazine/webpage says, if the player is diving and they found out, he gets the worst grade...and that happened to Lucio....damn, damn, damn....so i have to confess, that i am the 2nd weakest player this week, because of the brazilian diver.....aaah...i hope he will do that never ever again...not for me and not for the fairness of the sport itself!

Diving should be just not existing in soccer ! PLEASE DONT DO IT AGAIN MR. LUCIO!

P.S. at the end of the season i ll be back on the top ! ;)

about a girl...

long time...no post!

i guess, that should change now..... when i am going to find time, i`ll write some notes about what is going on in my life! this will follow for sure...but in this section...i want to write for a very special person for me personal.....for me, the most important person in my life!

my lovely girlfriend ;)

i could have never imagined, that such a "on the first view" random love story would happen in my poor personal life ha ha ..... but the unexpected is coming and turning to the most beautiful happening in the last year......
... i also could have never imagined, to be sooo close to a girl from another culture, backround, friends, language, whatsoever...
...but now, after more than 9 months being a couple i know....
...thats the girl, i have dreamt for, the girl i want to spend many many many many years with...

thank you honey, for the past 9 months , lets see the future, the light at the end .....and lets spend our golden future together at any place of the world!

I love you!

Patience - a holy property

hey guys,
after a long time, another post, but now, it is really time to write something new ;)

I dont know, if you know.....
... but i am used to be very patient ;)

And i like to know, what is happening in at least the near future....

buuuuut, for the moment, there is a time, where things are very uncertain!
The MC Term is ending, and there is a diploma thesis ....and i am figuring out my opportunities in writing within a company and so on.
But i am in the loop, waiting and waiting for clear answers.....

ha ha ha , this first words were written from me at the beginning of my life after AIESEC, in late April....now we have mid-August and many things are clearer.
But, this way of PATIENCE was a tough way and quite an experience for me, as i am called from some people, the "most patient person in the world ;)".

Sitting in a vacuum in the status of "nothing is set" was one hard trial. Sitting around at the beginning of May, dont know exactly what to do with your future and starting a big and ongoing reflection process of your life. What is exactly what you want in life? Personal, Professional, where and what and and and?

I knew quite clear what i want to have for my private life...the question was very easy to answer, the question with professional life was not thaaaat easy...but the time to reflect in Mexico helped me a lot to find the professional path for me as well.

So at the end i decided to start my professional life around the insurance area (where i originally come from) and not in HR or working for a yellow logistical company ;). I started to search for a company to write my thesis there and i started to inform myself about possibilities to find a full time employment afterwards, which should include Insurance, Internationalism, Personal Development Opportunities, Salary, challenging tasks.........

Those days were with full of doubts about the way i did the last years....and many questions came up, where i was not sure......did i do the right strategy in the last years for me personal or was something else better? I dont know, but i guess, everybody and you know this thoughts as well.

Questions like?

- hmm...was it alright to do so much AIESEC and to abandon a degree with the highest grade possible?

- am i too old to find a cool job opportunity?

- was it ok not to focus just on studies, gaining more experience besides that in a professional area?

- was it valuable to take one year fulltime position in AIESEC?

- why didnt you start studying earlier and not after 6 years professional experience?

- why are you sometimes so lazy?

Questions, Questions and doubts during the process of getting answers from companies you applied for and being afraid of not finding a good fulltime position. It could be so easy, to believe in yourself...to believe that you will get the chance, where you can show everything you learned during the last years....and it is very easy to find a precocious comment for friends facing the same situation, like: "ah, come on guy, be sure, you will find the right job for your future...no worries, you are such a smart guy bla bla bla" ha ha , you know that conversations?

yeah, it is very easy to talk about this, if you are not emotionally involved by yourself in such a process, but if you are...and people, like parents, friends are asking questions "ah, how is it going, did you find something for your thesis" or " what would you like to work for" that HURTS yourself and keeps the small crisis going on!

But, what is the way out? I asked many people and most helpful were the discussions with my girlfriend (she faced kind of the same situation) and at the end, it is right, what everybody wants to tell you and you freak out when you hear it...ha ha , at least for me!

" Stay patient, calm down, and believe in the chance you will get and serve this chance "

After a while things are clearer, i got the chance to go to an interview as an analyst at a big consultancy...the job descritpion hit my wish list for almost 100% and put a lot of effort in getting this job....and the waiting process for a final answer was the time of my biggest doubts on myself..i guess, cause of the importance i gave this job opportunity to myself. But finally, i got it and i am very happy to start there in november! So , things turned good at the end, i am sure, i put the real strategy for my studies....because, without studies, without aiesec and without my previous professional experiences and would never got this job....the combination of skills was exactly the key to enter this company.

I would really love, to hear your stories about this small part of life finding your future or midterm plans at the end of your studies and how you overcame this doubts!

on the way to " the devil wears prada" ....

yesterday, friday night, cinema time....

I don`t know, how it comes... must have been a condition of mental derangement....Philipp and me agreed with the movie "the devil wears prada!" (but we did not know the content before, we had no clue, that this is a "chick-flick"!

But we have good friends, they secure us for such mistakes! " Tobi, this is a chick flick, you will be the only man in the cinema!" hmmm.....or to Philipp...his girlfriend: "Oh, nice, it is about fashion and that stuff!"

Ok, we were quite uncertain, whether we should go to the movie or not, but we promised Caro to do so! At the end we were standing in the queue of the cinema box office! And, we were bashing the "Prada" movie and convincing Caro, that it would be much more fun, to go to this movie with Lara! ( ooooooh, nice!)

And after a short while of debating, we decided to go to the "CRANK" movie....all we knew was Caros comment: " It is a movie, where a killer wants to quit his job, because of a girl, but he has to do his last deal!" And we knew, that the movie was not for under 18!"

My expectations were quite low towards the movie.....but after the first minutes....i was completely hidden by this movie......fast action, fun....jokes....cool scenes......quite a perfect movie for me personally! And not the usual action-movie.....just better, faster, funnier!
this movie was a real surprise and completely different than imagined!

So, check it out: go to the cinema :) and have a nice weekend!
