Episode 8 – The Bowling Betrayal & The Soggy Spongebob Saga

So picture this: I was ready. READY, my friends. Bowling shoes? Mentally laced. Vibes? Immaculate. Blog? Half-written in my head, with jokes sharper than the kitchen knife. I thought, „Let’s write about the hilarious bowling night we’re totally gonna have!“

Plot twist: we didn’t.

Two of our comrades-in-chaos decided—last freaking minute—that they’d rather ghost the plan than roll some balls. No explanation. No „sorry, I got kidnapped by aliens“ or „my grandma started breakdancing again, I had to help.“ Just poof. Gone.

And while we stood there, blinking into the void of broken hopes and missing pins… the sky decided it was the perfect moment to cry with us. Enter: downpour deluxe.

BUT—every disaster has its MVP. Enter Thaddäus (yes, like the depressed squid guy from Spongebob), who saw the rain not as an obstacle, but a catwalk. He glided. No, slid through puddles with the grace of a damp gazelle just to go outside and smoke. I swear, someone cue the dramatic music because I’ve never seen nicotine dependency look so elegant.

Aside from that Oscar-worthy performance, not much else happened.
Oh—except the fun twist that some folks still don’t have a job here and are now told to go find one themselves. Even though, you know… the agency was supposed to handle that part. Classic plot development. Let’s see how that side quest unfolds.

And that’s it, folks. The most exciting thing this week was not throwing a bowling ball and watching a squidward reenact a Disney-on-Ice number. Maybe next week, something wild will happen. Like… actually doing something.

Stay tuned. Or don’t. I’m not your mom.

2 Month in Valencia – Episode 8 & 9

Valencia Trip – Part 6 (May 1st to 7th)

Thursday

Thursday, May 1st was another public holiday here in Valencia which meant I could sleep in. Later in the day I went out to do some shopping and then called my parents to catch up. It was nice to hear how things were going back home in Berlin. In the evening I went for a quiet walk and had a long phone call with my girlfriend just enjoying the calm vibes.

Friday

On Friday my morning started a bit more abruptly. I got woken up early because we were getting a new washing machine delivered and the mold next to my bed was finally being removed. After all that chaos the rest of the day was much more relaxed. We watched Star Wars in the afternoon and later I started watching the Ted series and made for a cozy evening.

Saturday

Saturday kicked off slow and easy. I had a relaxed morning and then watched the Union Berlin match which actually went really well. Always nice to see your team play a strong game. After the match I went for a jog down to the beach which felt amazing. In the evening I headed over to the harbor where Ruben and Timur were at an open air party with a live stage setup. It had great energy. Later we ended up going to a private club with two Spanish guys we met there. One of them was a friend of Ruben. The whole night was super spontaneous and really fun.

Sunday

Sunday was another mellow day. After breakfast Ruben and I went shopping then I made some pasta and just hung out. In the evening I went into the city for a short trip with Jimmy Timur and Flo and after that I called my girlfriend to check in and catch up a bit more.

Monday

Monday May 5th was all about supporting my girlfriend. She had just finished her Abitur exam so I called her around lunchtime to talk about it and hear how everything went. In the afternoon I went grocery shopping mostly to get stuff for our evening barbecue. That night we grilled together on our terrace which was super nice. The weather was perfect and it felt like a proper summer night.

Tuesday

Tuesday was shopping day again. I did a big grocery run and had my girlfriend on the phone with me during it so it was almost like shopping together just from two countries apart. Not much else happened that day. I just took it slow and enjoyed the peace.

Wednesday

Wednesday was more active again. Around midday I went jogging and then took a long relaxed shower. We had actually planned to go bowling in the evening but those plans fell through last minute. Instead I spent the evening gaming with a friend from Berlin which turned out to be a solid backup plan. Just one of those cozy no pressure days.
