Happy New Year

All year long I have been writing here and there how fast the time flies...and I was right (I'm always right but that's a different story)...another New Year's Eve (don't get me wrong when I say 'another New Year's Eve'....what I mean is that it's another eighteenth New Year's Eve in my life lol). I'm one of those people who don't really like this time of the year...not that I get into a pessimistic mood, but I'm not excessively happy either. I'm not into making new year resolutions so at the end of the year I'm not mad at myself that I didn't do what I planned lol.

This year has been way different from all the previous ones (wow, what a deep thought)....I know it sounds silly, but it was. So many things happened...and they are all things that I will keep in my mind till the end of my life....coz how can you forget the time when one of your biggest dreams comes true?...2008 means so many new things, new job, new people, new friends for life, new experiences, new places and lots of moments to cherish.

Can't end this year without thanking those special people who have been with me this year (and previous years as well in some cases). Thanks a lot for the times we spent together, the times we laughed, the times we fought coz that gave us a chance to make up later on ;), thanks for the support and for the feeling that there's always someone I may ask for help. You guys mean a lot, you know that.

Wish all of you a very happy 2009 with many moments to cherish.

I kinda lack inspiration lately....don't want to write about Christmas because I'm sure we all have enough of it in the shops and in the streets. Not that it's bad, far from it. But when you go to the supermarket and before you're done with your shopping you have to listen to 'Last Christmas' several times you kinda feel like running away, at least I do.

On the other hand, my town is so nicely decorated, all trees covered with lights and it looks fantastic when you go for a walk in the evening (hmm just for the record, evening here starts soon after 4 pm ).

OK OK this isn't really that way. I admit that I don't really mind listening to those songs. Yesterday I went shopping to a huge department store and was just mad coz I didn't buy anything for myself. And for a shopoholic like I am it's a tragedy.

I'm planning to prepare Christmas cards for a few friends today so if you've been good then expect to get one soon. And I guess I'm expecting a card from you too :)
Coming back to the main subject which was the lack of inspiration....lol. I was looking for some nice pics online. Since we have no snow this lovely winter and everything looks dark and pretty depressing I wanted something colourful and bright. Here it is. Hope you find it charming like I do (and like I am hehehe).
Merry Christmas everyone (saying just in case I don't come back here before Christmas).

The winners - Melkart Ball

Now a thing that was a complete surprise for me. I kinda mentioned the show I was watching "I have a talent". You watch it and see lots of different people showing their talents - they mostly come with something entertaining, something to make you laugh etc. And then two almost naked guys appear on the stage ....soft music in the background...and the magic begins. Just see how magic human body can be...look for Melkart Ball. Amazing....they won the final yesterday. Congratulations guys :)

Just a thought

I haven't been posting for a while...being busy with the usual stuff...plus the Christmas season is right the corner. We all are slowly starting to think about Christmas (or we have friends who keep asking you if you've thought about a prezzie for them lol)...and you kinda get into that special mood that you always have this time of the year - feeling optimistic, being nicer to people, full of hope and so on and so on......and then you get home and watch the news and find out that there were bomb attacks...apart from being terribly worried about my friends who live in India I started thinking how much time I lose on thinking about silly and useless things, how unimportant some things are, how life may change in a second, how helpless I feel....

We'll all get into that Christams mood again (some of us sooner some a bit later) and I know I will eventually forget about the feelings I have now....sadly we all tend to forget we are here just for a short while and we should learn to cherish every moment we are given.

Before I get into the normal mode ....Vinu, you do mean a lot to me - never forget that. God bless.

Wishlist

I've recently been reminded that Christmas is coming pretty soon....yeah, sounds crazy but it's true with the time passing so fast it WILL be really soon. Since I noticed that giving more or less subtle hints really works with men (and Santa is a guy, isn't he?) then I thought of posting my wishlist for this year....hope he chooses anything from the things I list below and I guarantee I wil be extremely happy.

• make time pass slower so I could just sit and enjoy the pleasant moments
• make all my friends' dreams come true
• a bit more of free time for myself and for all the important people in my life that complain about me not having much time for them
• more reasons to smile (I already have plenty, but you can never get enough of this)
• holidays in a hot sunny place
• a new house for Stu (meeting all his requirements will be tough, but still will try and just wish him best)
• no snow this winter (except for winter break when I don't have to drive my car and remove all the snow from it)
• help Kubica win F1 Championship or make Lewis lose it ;)

Hmm, I kinda thought it would be longer lol. I guess it just shows I can't really complain about my life and continue being grateful for what I have and be happy.

PS To all the meanies I know, YES I'VE BEEN A GOOD GIRL THIS YEAR.

Another Michael Jackson?

Well, I'm pretty sure you guys are fed up with all the shows there are on TV. We have lots of them here as well and to be honest I'm not really following them coz most of them are just silly. This year we have "I have a talent" here and it's just one show I watch regularly...that's why I'm unavailable on Satuday evenings lol. It's just amazing to see what people can do...it happened a few times that I was just staring at the screen with my mouth open and couldn't really believe what I saw. Then, I was talking to Stuart about it...and I got the link to this video....my first thought was "Phew, another Michael Jackson.." but I have never been so wrong in my life....just watch it and you will know what I mean...enjoy.

PS Big thanks to Stu for sending this. Muah

Maciek

If there's still someone who hasn't been informed about my kitty....here he is. I can't really say if it's a she or a he. We call him Maciek as we think he is a guy, time will show. I brought him home on Friday after waiting for him for the whole long week. The couple who gave him to me was simply amazing. They have 3 cats at home and 3 dogs....all of them so friendly that it was unbelievable. I spent over an hour at their house and they kept telling me funny stories about their animals....showing how much they mean to them. Then Maciek had his first car ride. He is a sleepo and whenever he sees someone sitting he just jumps on their laps and falls asleep lol. Come and visit us and you will see yourself.

PS This pic was taken when he was awake for a second and then went back to sleep.

Gok Wan

Is there anyone who hasn't heard about Gok Wan yet? If you're reading this and your answer is yes then you must be living on Mars lol (even Stu knows Gok). He is a guy who does know how to make a woman feel gorgeous no matter what she looks like - fat or slim, with huge boobs or with the smallest ones in the world...he knows what stretch marks are and that cellulite isn't really a good reason to resign from wearing a bikini. He is doing a great job for all of us women and for you guys as well...coz if your woman is feeling gorgeous you will get your profits from that too.

It's not long time ago when I've started watching Gok's show "How to look good naked?". Actually, after hearing that title I didn't really think it could be a show I may enjoy. I was wrong. No matter if you like your body the way it is or if you want to change every single bit of it....watch his show and you will surely feel better.

I know it would be a sin if I started to complain about my body here. Not that I'm perfect because I'm not. I just realise that some other women have more reasons to complain than I do and I'm just keeping my mouth shut for the time being. Nevertheless, I'm stil watching the show every singe week and I simply love it.

What's Gok's secret? All he teaches women is to love their bodies the way they are. Simple, isn't it? Now try to do your homework tonight and look in the mirror and tell yourself: You look gorgeous, baby.

Thanks

Being a blonde I don't really think of certain things....ok ok, it's not that bad so let's just say I sometimes don't think of certain things lol. When I started this blog I didn't really mean to keep coming here and posting things. I was doing an online training and one of the tasks was starting a blog. Being a good student (wanted to say a perfect student...but don't want to seem immodest) I did complete that training and got my certificate....and the blog remained unchanged for a looooong time. Then started reading Vinu's blog (do check it, it's worth it) and felt a bit ashamed that he may have a great blog and I don't heheh. And I started posting small and silly things from time to time (still can't compare my blog to Vinu's, but after all I'm just a bum as he calls me). That was and still is a great fun to think of things I may post here, looking for some nice photos to attach to my posts, changing the template from time to time and adding all those gadgets that they offer here....actually the list of things you may add to your blog is endless and that's frustrating for me (why? read the post about decision making lol). I've never really realised that starting my own blog here does mean someone may read it. I new that Vinu and Stu will come here at times but that's all. Then since I've added the feedjit thing I may see that some other people come here as well. Do check the feedjit box and the flag counter to see I'm not making this up, lol. Feels just great. Thank you all who come here. Muah

PS I just hope that anyone coming here does it for the right reasons (would be a disaster to find out you only come here to have a laugh lol).

PS 2 Another hope of mine is that this post doesn't scare anyone off. heheeh

Limitations

Decision making

The art of making a decision has always really been my weak point. No matter how important or unimportant the decision might be I will take ages to make it. Sometimes it is just all about making up my mind about the colour of a lip gloss or anything else as silly as that…though it doesn’t really matter which lip gloss I choose eventually I do need my own amount of time to decide. Usually I just buy both things I like lol. However, the problem gets bigger when it comes down to making really important and tough decisions. Have you ever tried making a decision and choose between something that’s important for you and something that’s important for the person who is dear to you? This is a situation where no matter what you choose someone will feel bad – either you or the other person. Any ideas how to make a decision in such a case and not disappoint anyone….nor feel disappointed yourself?

Changes

For some reason the world around me has a tendency to change every minute. Time passes way too fast for me to be able to do everything I wanted to...and it's not only connected with my job. Sadly, it's my private life that suffers most - I mean my beloved ones - family and friends who don't get as much of me as they used to get...or as much as they would like to. I hope they do know how much they all mean to me. Not that I came here to make excuses...far from it...it's just sometimes things are beyond my control....so I'm here to apologise every single person that felt I'm ignoring them lately. I AM SORRY. I just hope You know it was not really the case here.

Thinking about the time that flies too fast I can't forget to mention one of the things that helps me stop for a minute and simply enjoy the moment. No matter how crazy things may be around me I do my best to find some time for myself and just do what I like most - it may be a book or a few minutes spent on listening to my favourite music, a chat with a friend or just doing my nails in complete silence....anything would be perfect. What gives me strenght in such moments is that some things do not change - my favourite author still writes good books (or blogs), my favourite music is still amazing and my friends are still there for me...I'm not saying changes are bad...I just wish certain things in my life never changed.

After a while

After A While

After a while,

you learn the subtle difference

Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning

And company doesn't always mean security

And you learn that kisses aren't contracts

And presents aren't promises,

And you begin to accept your defeats

With your head up and your eyes ahead

With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,

And you learn to build your roads on today

because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans

and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns

if you get too much.

So you plant you own garden and decorate your own soul

instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure...

that you really are strong

and you really do have worth.

And you learn and you learn...

With every goodbye you learn.

Another award :)

Well, being as modest as I am....time for a little bit of talking about myself (I can hear the moans you're making now). Next Tuesday, October 14th, I will be given Headmaster's Award. It's an award she gives once a year on Teachers' Day to those who are good teachers. Though it's a financial award it's more of prestige connected with it than money (yes Stu, I don't think it will be enough to buy BA ticket to Manchester....and I won't ever fly wit Ryanair lol). Anyway, no matter what I'm saying about my headmaster, it's a nice feeling to know she kindly noticed all the things I'm doing for my school.

PS You guys are invited for a treat :)

Something to look forward to

Hello ardent readers. It's been a while since I left anything here. Many different things has happened in that time (including Stu calling me a dragon)...but that's not what I wanted to write about today (yes that is a way to make you keep in touch with me...you want to know what's going on here...text me or call me, heheh).

It's a cold, rainy, dark Sunday afternoon. It has been cold outside for the last two weeks or so and I'm desperately trying to find something to make me feel a bit better and more optimistic. Coffee and chocolate don't really help in this case....my last hope is shopping. One I've been told a lot about Trafford Centre (and promised to be taken there, hint hint)...and then I just thought it has to be just like other places where you can go shopping....that was until last week when I saw it on TV. It looks fantastic and the list of shops they have there is almost endless. This way I've found something to look forward to and something that helps me survive the nasty rainy days here.

PS Yeah I don't know who would pay for the thing I buy there...but hey, don't spoil the fun.

Back to work

Welcome back readers (so many of you here lol). Guess who is back to work?? Yeah, me, unfortunately. So busy from the very first day that I didn't even manage to leave a new post here on time....yeah I can hear someone remind me I'm a lazyass...yeah I AM....but not all of you have two jobs :))
Anyway, I'm back to work and hopefully back to regular posting as well (am I fooling myself?)

Being British

Well, it's obvious I know NOTHING about being British...but someone summed it up in the form of funny postcards. I added just three of them...the first one actually needs no comments...I don't think anyone would dare to disagree (Stu, you can't comment here since you are British hehehe), the second one....I do find it very true...imagine me walking down the street wearing a sweater and a jacket and still feeling cold and there is a gal walking next to me wearing a mini skirt and a top that hardly covers anything and she says: Uhh, it's so bloddy hot today! ....the third one, it's actually true no matter what foreign language you're trying to speak.

The collection actually consists of many postcards and they are all just wonderful. Just let me know if you want to see more :)

Heaven on earth

Lots of things can be said about my visit in England (the wrong part of England as Stu called it), but only one made me feel as if I found my heaven on earth. It was a small shop in the centre of Canterbury...Hotel Chocolat...it was simply perfect...the smell of chocolate from the very moment when you enter the shop...all those tasty chocolates....if you have problems making up your mind what to buy when you are in a shop...this place will make it even harder for you to decide what to take...but you can just stay there, no one will ask you to hurry up, it's pure pleasure just looking at the chocolates...beautifully packed...mmmm and if you decide to buy something it's double pleasure...the good thing is you may also buy online http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/

PS The one above is called Carry-Me-Home :)

Some quotes

A set of quotes I found somewhere and simply liked a lot...

• Brick walls are there for a reason, they aren't there to keep us out, they let us prove how badly we want things
• A friend is there for you when absolutely no one else is (P.Brown)
• We see through their eyes as well as our own. We listen more intently, think more deeply, explore a new country we had never known. We need their care and kindness - and find delight discovering they need us too.
• My friend and I tell each other all our worries. Often there is nothing we can do to solve them. But knowing that we are there for each other, prepared to listen, is all the help we need.
• Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world.
• A milion billion words have been spoken about what friendship means but two good friends can be together without speaking a single word and know preciselywhat friendship means.
• When you need to whine about things going wrong, when you need to moan about life's little injustices, a friend is happy just to listen to your tales of woe

Almost lover

That's a song that I just can't stop listening to recently. I do know what the woman is singing about, maybe that's why I like it so much. Very simple and beautiful. Please listen even though you prefer Rush :)

Thanks

Well, my two beloved bloggers are back to writing so I can't be the only one here not posting anything lol. I do have lots of different things to share with you now after so many things happening in July. However, there is something I feel I should start with....someone said that you don't know what you had untill you lose it, and you don't know what you've been missing untill it arrives....I haven't lost anythin yet, but I've been lucky enough to realise what I have...therefore I'm here to thank two people for being my friends and for making my life look the way it does. I do feel blessed having you as my friend.

- Sam - you've been part of the dream that came true this July. Thank You for doing your best to make my UK trip a memorable experience and I'm very happy you were there with me. It wouldn't be half as great as it was if you weren't there.



- Stuart - you did show me that I can actually wait impatiently to wake up early in the morning. You're better than a cup of coffee. A great pleasure to talk to you no matter what time of the day it is. You showed me that 500 free texts is actually not that much :)



Thank both of you for making me enjoy every single minute I spent in England. And yes, I will go there again!

Holidays

Well, the best part of the year has started. It will last till September 1st. Lazying around, doing nothing, troubling everyone around, reading books (finally!!), travelling...and getting more letters from Stu. That's my plan for next two months. Anyone wants to join me? :))

What has happened recently or will happen soon

Well, both Vinu and Stu don't bother to leave some posts and make me happy....so at least I will try to write a few words :)

• school year finishes on Friday (yeah god bless those who invented holidays)
• have to write a few boring reports before I go on holidays (no one reads them and neither of the headteachers will ever admit we don't need to write them)
• will get my nice dress this week (postmen, don't go on strike please)
• planning my trip to London...checking a lot of things and making lots of decisions which is stressful for me
• looking for my perfect suitcase that I would take to UK (lol)
• still hope Poland may win one game ...today is the last chance; if that doesn't happen then I hope Germans lose any match soon
• speaking of football...not that I know much about it...but English referee seems to know even less than I do (Howard you better start playing bingo)
• weather sucks recently so just hoping it gets better soon
• got a few books to read, but now I only look at them and hope to get time to read them soon
• waiting for a letter from Stu (stop reading here Stu and get your ass to writing finally)
• apart from the above things nothing else is going on...:)

Go Poland!

I know I know...I'm not really a football fan...far from it....just today I had to post something connected with football....guess that's all because of the football fever that is here for the last couple of days.... Polish national team is playing against Germany tonight. Now is the time when we may still hope that we have a chance of winning heheh. Would be fantastic to win with Germans....it won't be easy, but after all it's football and everything is possible. Wish us luck.

Happy birthday Vinu

Today it's Vinu's birthday.....another year when I may wish him all the very best from the bottom of my heart. My best wishes Vinu....plus loads of hugs and kisses for You. Happy birthday :)

Canterbury Tale

While I was a student at the university (ages ago) I had my history of English literature classes. The lecturer was pretty funny beacuse he had long grey hair that always made him look as if he had just got up. Anyway, that guy was an English literature maniac....getting excited everytime he read some poems. That's not him I wanted to write about here though. The thing that stays in my mind is that once we were reading 'Canterbury Tales' and I guess that if then anyone had told me I would go to Canterbury myself not paying a pound (yes, I wanted to write an euro, but the English just have to be different) I would say they are insane. But guess dreams do come true and this year is my turn to have one dream become reality. England, I'm on my way!

Children's Day and Sam's birthday

Awww again it's Children's Day. Wishing all children, the young and the older ones, a happy Children's Day. You're free to trouble your parents to give you what you want :))

Today it's also Sam's birthday. My best wishes Sam....the truck is on its way heheheh. See you soon :)

The concert

Today Metallica came here and they are giving a concert tomorrow....pretty close to my town...though I don't think I will hear anything heheh. Not that I'm typically crazy about Metallica....naaah not really. I just know people who are and one of them even promised (or I should rather say threatened) to make me watch all their DVDs.

I just like a few of their songs...and mostly those 'quiet' ones like 'Nothing Else Matters', 'The Unforgiven'....The song I attached here for you is 'Enter Sandman' ...why this one? Well, I was much younger when I saw this video for the first time and I was always scared to look at the old man who appears in the video....well now I'm just wondering why...not that he seems prettier, but he is no longer THAT scary lol.

PS Well, now dear readers, I thought that Vinu and Stu should be intorduced to each other officially since they started to read and comment on their blogs.

Stu, this is Vinu

Vinu, this is Stu.

Lol so now you guys know each other so keep on commenting....now there are two of you to trouble me :)

Mother's Day

It's actually tomorrow, but I felt like adding the post today. It's Mother's Day...so just wishing all the best too all Mums in the world...and My Mum most of all. Kisses

Compliments

Anyone looking for something that would make you feel better? (or something that would help you get rid of your bm...like it is in my case?)...well, here it is.....a compliment. You mostly get it from people you like so it's for free, it has no side effects and brings the smile back to your face immediately. I have recently been lucky enough to get a compliment...actually three to be precise (maybe that's not much, but I got them from people who do not really tell you compliments every day). Woudn't mind at all if that happened more often :)

PS Anyone in need of compliments...just let me know.

PS Well, I was talking to Buddha lately and told him about my blog....he checked it and said....that I should be writing books because I have that something in my style of writing....it felt amazing to hear that; then I talked to Vinu...and he said I'm intelligent !!! and sensible (anyone who knows Vinu knows perfectly that he is sweet but he doesn't say compliments often....that's why I cherish them when he finally says something good about me ;)) and then came Stu....lol, last but not least....though it happened some time back I still think it was sweet of him to think of a new nickname for me which is Cherry :))

Isn't it all too good to be true? lol

Shopping

Awww yes, you may be depressed, tired, sad, just in a bad mood or simply you're suffering from bm (blonde moment)....and no matter how hard you try nothing can make you feel bit better...(not even chocolate ice cream or a cup of cappuccino in my case) ...but there's something that always works in such situations....shopping. And it doesn't matter much if you buy something or not...just the time spent in the shops, trying things on, looking for 'the one and only' thing for you....awwww even writing about it makes me feel better, lol. Of course, if you buy a few things that makes shopping more pleasurable.

That's what I did today...had a session of my shopping therapy and even bought a lovely top for myself.

Standing out

Ok, I'm suffering from bm at the moment so just a pic today. :))

Do you have the right to be silent?

Now, something I can't get out of my head since yesterday. Being a female I have that tendency to watch all kinds of soaps. Not that I watch many, just two regularly. One of them is 'Men in Trees' ...a funny, not demanding soap that helps you to relax on Sunday afternoon when you're about to have your bad mood before going back to work on Monday. Anyway, not what I wanted to write about here....those digressions lol. The thing is last Sunday they asked a question there which got me thinking....the question was: "In a relationship, do you have the right to be silent?" Not an easy thing to answer, is it? And I'm not only thinking about male-female relationships here...friendship works in a similar way. If there's a thing that bothers one person should they just sit down and tak about it till they come to conclusion? I have always thought this is the best way to solve problems....talk about them and move on. You know the situation when something is going on, we don't talk about it and then each person starts guessing or assuming different things and the situation is getting even more complicated (yeah, I can even remember a perfect example of such a situation happening not long ago). But, the other person may not really be much of a talker, they may not want to talk about their feelings or problems. And we all know opening up is not as easy as we would like it to be. And what then? Force them? That's why that question stays in my mind....'in a relationship, do you have the right to be silent?"

Now who would have thought a silly soap can make you think...

Tatras

Hmmm, I just felt I need to leave this post here because I have heard that going to Peru is someone's dream. Not that I have anything against going there, but it's worth reconsidering your decision. The reasons why you guys should come to Poland are obvious. Now take a look at the pics and say you wouldn't like to go there....why spend a lot of money to go to Peru, for example ;)

Coming here is way cheaper (that's the reason number one), it would give you a chance to visit me (or take me to the Tatras with you, hint hint). So?

Blondes

Speaking of blondes, a few jokes about us :) that I truly adore. Read please:

• What's the advantage of being married to a blonde? You can park in handicapped zones.
  
• What does a postcard from a blonde's vacation say? Having a wonderful time. Where am I?
  
• Why do blondes have TGIF on their shoes? Toes go in first.
  
• Why are most blonde jokes one-liners? So men will understand them (hehhe eye for an eye)
  
• A blonde wanted to go ice fishing. She'd seen many books on the subject, and finally, after getting all the necessary items together, she made for the nearest frozen lake. After positioning her footstool, she started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice and began to cut yet another hole. Again, from the heavens, the voice bellowed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" The blonde, now quite worried, moved way down to the opposite end of the ice, sat up her stool, and tried again to cut her hole. The voice came once more: "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" She stopped, looked skyward, and said, "Is that you, Lord?" The voice replied, "No, I'm the Ice-Rink Manager!"
  
• A blonde goes into an appliance store looking for a TV. After a few minutes, she picks one out and approaches the salesman. "I want to buy this television," she says. The salesman replies, "Sorry, we don't serve blondes here." She gets mad, leaves and goes home. She dyes her hair brown and returns to the store. "I want to buy this television." she says to the salesman, getting the same response; "Sorry miss, we don't serve blondes here." She leaves again, frustrated. She goes home and proceeds to shave her head, eyebrows and all, leaving no visible trace of blonde hair on her head. Upon returning to the store, she once again approaches the salesman. "Sir, I would like to purchase this television, and I don't want any problems." To which the salesman replies, "Sorry Miss, we don't serve blondes." Fed up with this, she cries, "How can you tell that I am blonde? I have dyed my hair and even resorted to shaving my head!" To which the salesman replied, "Well, Miss, that television you are trying to buy is a microwave!"

Aqua Aerobics

Half an hour ago I came back from my aqua aerobics classes (monkeying, as Vinu calls it). I'm exhausted, but very happy....I realise it sounds weird, but that's the truth. The thing that keeps me so happy after each class is that now I know I do have muscles....heheh. Took me a long time to discover that, but hey, better late than never....and being a blonde is a good excuse as well :)

Desire

Well, time to say a few words about what I'm listening to lately...true that it's Diana Krall most of the time (yes, I know you don't like her, Stu), but while searching for some songs on Limerwire I found this one. It's not my favourite U2 song obviously, but now I just adore listening to it while driving to work early in the morning...Thank God other drivers can't hear me, at least I hope they can't. This song is 20 years old now, would you believe? The times when U2 still sounded like U2, lol. And take a look at Bono - looks cute here (not the hairy chest though, yuk). By the way, May 10th is Bono's 48th birthday...

U2 rules, unlike Rush (ok, I just had to say it)

Borrowed from Vinu

Vinu, hope you don't mind me borrowing this, lol

Congratulations

So I did it. After 10 weeks I completed my online course... logged into the site just a few minutes ago and yes, my name was the first on the list of people who successfully completed all the tasks and passed all exams. Yyypppiiieee.....guess now I need to look for another course hehehe

Funny photos

Haven't they made you smile?

Life is short

Astrology

Hi everyone. Astrology - don't really know whether to believe in it or not, but it's not what I would like to discuss right now. I just know that some things that they say about a particular sign of zodiac happens to be true. I also know from my own experience that I prefer some signs more than others. Many of my best friends are Pisces or Gemini, for example. Coincidence? Maybe. Nevertheless, I checked what astrology says about me - I'm an Aquarian. Well, this is a funny picture that shows all my features. the line at the bottom is the most important:)) If anyone dares not to agree with what the picture shows, feel free to leave a comment...

Optimism

Sometimes we just need something to get us out of a sad mood...a few things help like a good friend you can talk to, a piece of chocolate (or a chocolate bar if things are really bad), a cup of cappuccino, a hug...ohh the list is endless....what I'm trying to say here is sometimes reading such words may help a lot...

You can always be a fine little tree, if you can't be a forrest; a shining star if you can't be the sun, for it's not by the size that you win or fail, but by the best of whatever you are

Stuart II

Hello all (as if there were many of you who read this lol)

anyway, yesterday I managed to make Stuart start his own blog.... so much for my charm :)) Of course in his first post he had to blame me for doing that, but I'm sure that in a while he will thank me for that :))

Well, just go to his blog and leave him a comment.

Welcome to the blogging community Stuart.

Wedding

Well, just noticed that I'm leaving posts every day lately lol. See Stu, the thought that someone may just come and read my blog inspires me a lot heheh, so please keep coming back :)

The thing that I want to leave here today is a wedding photo. They are usually terrible and majority of them look the same. This one is just amazing, don't you think?

Daydreaming

Imagine, a cloudy and rainy day, you're back home, but tired after work and then you just start daydreaming about being in a different place (not that difficult to do, isnt it?)...a sunny hot beach...it coud be any place in the world...Bora Bora, Greece (hint hint) or Croatia lol...just imagine having no worries, just lazying aroud doing nothing...awww

Stuart

Welcome everyone...though I know I should rather say welcome Stuart...because you're the only person reading this blog heheh. Anyway, welcome Stu. This post is just for you. Since you once said I don't show my emotions easily, I thought that there's no better place for me to show them....well, to cut a long story short I will just say that I adore you and I am really happy that we are friends, really close friends...and even though you are a monster sometimes you're adorable. Don't ever change...mwa mwa mwa.

A hug

Ok, many pages could be written trying to describe certain things...being an emotional being, sometimes too emotional (though not as much as Stuart is)...today I just terribly need a hug...

Quotes

Well, a few more quotes that I came across recently. Like all of them, especially the ones by Oscar Wide, that guy was great....and Irish heheh.

• The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it (absolutely love this one)
• Unnecessary things are our only necessities (lol)
• One can aways be kind to people about whom one cares nothing (so true!)
• I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability (!!)
• Always forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them more (yeaahhh)
• Don't hurry, don't worry. You're only here for a short visit. So be sure and stop to smell the flowers, Walter Hagen
• Always remember you are absolutely unique, just like everybody else (hehehe)

Well, that's it for today. Special thanks for Stuart who is the only person coming here apart from me :)

Take me to Ireland

Well, sometimes I just get some emails with lots of different photos. Lately, I got an Irish one with wonderful pics from Ireland...just showing you the one I like most....though the rest was impressive as well. Now, who wouldn't want to go to Ireland? I would....so when are we going?

Just think

Peel me a grape

Just the song that I can't stop listening to....and a few more by Diana Krall, my new discovery worth paying attention to.

Bad luck day

Do you sometimes have that kind of day when everything goes wrong...I mean absolutely everything is not the way you planned ad it ruins everything? Well, that's how my Thursday was. I do want it to end now heheh. I could sum it up this way....

Being lonely

Well, isn't that true that the simplest things can be the best at the same time? Take a look at this, adorable...somehow puts my mind at ease when I look at it....or maybe I'm just too tired and I see things that are not really there? lol. Enjoy anyway:)
