Be yourself

I am happy!


What made me happy? Believe or not, a very silly thing: I can work with my bank account through internet again!!
To understand the whole thing - I was so stupid that I blocked up the access to that thing(internet banking)and I´ve losted the secret codes you need when you want to unblock it.
I would never thought how many problems this simply thing can cause. I was not able to do nothing the way how I was used to do! If you dont understand this, dont worry, me either:)

In simple terms (jednoduše řečeno): I came to the conclusion, that we should be happy and satisfied just because simply things we have and we are able to use them in every day life. Because once you lost them, soon after you found out how important they were. I am not talking just about the internet banking, of course:)

That might be one of reasons of living - be happy from the smallest details, because big things you can feel joy from appears several times in life.
That means for example that a Coach bag you can buy just several times, maybe once only:)

Did I tell you that white roses are my most favourite flowers?

Anger is my middle name

Chtěla jsem napsat post už ve středu, ale zrovna když jsem se přihlásila, tak si ke mně sedla spolužačka, takže mi mohla koukat do laptopu, co tam píšu a vzhledem k tomu, že jsem chtěla pošpinit jméno celé naší školy, všech lidí kolem a povztekat se nad událostmi ve svém životě, jsem raději počítač vypnula a naslouchala spolužajdě. Tím pádem dny uběhly a mě vztek opustil.

Nyní jsme v práci. Dneska výjimečně. A zrovna se tu natáčí nějaký film. Jsou tu herci. Viděla jsem Vaška Vydru, Sandru Novákovou, před chvílí přišla Mahulena Bočanová a pořád tady pobíhá ta herečka z Ulice, která se v tom seriálu jmenuje Anička (která chodí s Bedřichem a dělá náhradní matku Františkovi). Ale ne že bych ten seriál nějak sledovala :-) Je stejně usměvavá jako v tom seriálu. Hodiny utíkají, takže super. Mám před sebou dvě důležité návštěvy, tak snad nic nepokazím.

Budu muset jít. Je tu frmol.

Pa!

Pokračujeme

aneb vylevání srdéčka II.

NAŠTĚSTÍ jsme se Zuzankou holky nejen šikovné, ale i třeskutě inteligentní. Tyto důvody měly za následek tu skutečnost, že jsme zvládly všechny zkoušky v přiměřených termínech. Teď máme pohodu a klid. Bohužel tedy jen na pár dní, Zuzce začíná ten kolotoč v pondělí a mně od pondělí za týden. Zatím "jen" v podobě přednášek a bez zkouškového.

Další novinkou je stěhování. Věřte tomu nebo ne, ale zvládly jsme přestěhovat všechen náš braigl za 1 den. Teď máme každá svůj pokojíček v 11. patře a je to super. Fakt. Ke spokojenosti mi chybí akorát jedno - zvládat dojíždění do školy a do práce, které se prodlužuje z obvyklých pár minut na desítky minut. :) Ale to je maličkost. Empétrojka nebo kniha (např. On Beauty od ježíška) nudu dokáže vyřešit.

It´s a beautiful day today. Eventhough it might be could outside.
I am so happy I don´t have to worry about anything. But I have the experience that every time I have this feeling (everything is ok and without problems) something unexpected happened. So I am in expectation right now for something horrible to happen. For example Suzanne will call me and tell me with a frightened voice about a weird spiderman who has just broken into our flat through a window.. and my coach bag is gone! :) Thank God my coach bag is locked in a safe :)

We saw a wonderful movie with my flatmate on Thursday. Sweneey Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street It is based on Stephen Sondheim's Broadway musical. It was great. I am not the one who loves scary movies full of blood but this was brilliant. Funny. Exciting. Sometimes disgusting :) And I was totally amazed by costumes. Well, not just by costumes..:D

Asi by se hodilo něco napsat

aneb vylejeme si srdíčko


Období, kterého jsme se (odůvodněně) obávaly, nastalo. Abych své pocity vyjádřila co možná nejprecizněji - zkoušek jsou tři prdele a všechno nás sere. Už dlouho mi dost lidí říká, že mluvím strašně sprostě. Na to se nedá říci nic jiného než s tím souhlasit. Jsem sprostá jak dlaždič a nějak se mi nedaří to eliminovat. Snaha by tu byla, ale později se vždycky vynoří nějaká (negativní) událost, na kterou se prostě jinak reagovat nedá. Nebo možná dá, ale Zuzanka to neumí. Přijde mi totiž, že když řeknu "ty vole, tak to je v totální piči" lépe vystihuje danou situaci, než kdybych se vyjádřila takto: "hm, to je blbý" nebo "je to špatné". Ono to totiž není špatné, nýbrž je to v piči. Dokud nepřijdu na silnější výraz než "být v piči", tak se holt budu muset vajdřovat takto. Napadlo mě, že kdybych začala zase víc číst knihy (ano, knihy, ty úžasný věci, který vás zavedou do úplně jinýho světa, kdy přestanete myslet na všechny ty sračky kolem), tak mi to nejen zlepší slovník, ale taky na chvilku odtáhne tu debilní depku někam do prdele. Jej, sorry. No, vždyť říkám, současný stav se jinak prostě popsat nedá.

Strašně ráda bych si něco přečetla. Tahle potřeba se musí uspokojit, protože nepřichází tak často v poslední době, takže by se mohlo stát, že o knihu projevím zájem až tak za rok. To je hrůza.

Jsem momentálně u mamky v domě, neb majitelka (domu i psa) se odjela rekreovat na hory a na mě zbylo pohlídat psa. Je to tu docela fajn. Gauč. Telka. Lednice. Postel. Comp. Video. Procházky. No, ne že bych tyhle věci v bytě na Floře postrádala, ale tam to není ono. Tady je to všechno takový >doma<. Nicméně, z bytu se budeme stěhovat. Do konce února se snad nějak vypakujem. Bylo by lepší, kdyby mi už ty zkoušky do tý doby skončily, tzn. čistě teoreticky je to vypočítané tak, aby to vyšlo, ale pokud něco nedám, tak se to nejen protáhne, ale ještě mě to nasere.

Zrovna mi zavolal otec, máme spolu sraz, tak tady ten monolog budu muset ukončit, ale možná se ještě vrátím.

Adieu.

Whoopee!

Hey there! Yeah, you!

I am sitting in the study room, surfing on the Internet and doing exactly ... nothing. I should do something but I don't feel like doing anything. I'm tired. I almost didn't wake up in the morning. Things have been going quite bad recently and I'm pissed.

In about an hour I'm going to have a presentation about Open Door Policy but I don't remember my text so I will read it. I'm sure no one cares because it's almost a rule that people lose concentration after 7 minutes :-) And to be honest, this topic is not interesting at all.

At the weekend I went shopping with my mom. We wanted to buy some gifts for Christmas but we weren't very successful. I have no idea what to buy to my family. I would cancel this tradition of buying gifts. Christmas is about something different. I'm looking forward to staying at home with my mom, walking with my dog, doing "gaučing", watching good old movies (I can't explain it but I really look forward to watching Home Alone :-) etc. Whats not good is that I am going to study during this Christmas time. That is really not good.

I hate presentations.

What a surprise ...

I really didn´t know who I live with till today:) My flatmate is in Paris "being involved in the conference on human rights and democratic values." That seems to be very professional and academic! But it´s great. When I was reading it I thought that the last sentence will sound like: So, I am sorry but I have to go now. I forgot to buy that wonderful jacket at Vuitton and I am really worried that it will be sold out. And that would be A DISASTER! I would not have matching item to my new Vivienne Westwood´s shoes! That would be funny though. But some day it might be true. Anyway, I hope Suzanne is (and will be) ok in Paris - people there came out on strike.

Well, I have just seen my photos from my matriculation. It´s weird cause I am at most of them. I stand in the first row so everybody can admire "wonderful" Kate:) But on the other hand, I will have a lot of photos to show my grankids - one meaning of life at least.

I go now because I am hungry. I´m at home at my mama. Therefore there must be something to eat .. there is ALWAYS something to eat!

First Impressions

Hey people!

I am sitting in the Paris hotel Renaissance being involved in the conference on human rights and democratic values between the EU and Russia. It is pretty hot right now. There's a discussion about a relationship between Russia and the EU and it has been started by an innocent question asked by a girl who wanted to know what is a definition of "values" from the russian view and it, of course, made angry a main russian leader. The argue has become really hot.

Does the EU have a common opinion on Kosovo issue?

To say a few words about the hotel I am just amazed. The hotel has four stars so the rooms are truly beautiful, with amazing view from the window and with five pillows on each bed! We are all impressed.

The truth is that some kind of barrier has been built between Russians and other Europeans. To be honest I didn't expect this. I thought that if we launch this kind of discussion including more foreign students, the atmosphere will be open for all opinions and views, not only for expressing strong statements on particular topics. Russians are quite sensitive while talking about Kosovo or Chechenia.

I will write more when I get more impressions.

My only salvation ..


everybody knows what that is .. I feel just for it today .. boo ..

2007-11-09

What a prospect!

It's November and that can only mean that Christmas and finals are drawing closer and closer. We are going to take the first exams very soon. I am sure we are both stressed and scared. Hard to believe the time passes so quickly.

I have great news. I am going to Paris next week! I am so happy that my school offers these opportunities. I've met princess Ann, I am going to Paris and in MarchI will go to Brussels. This trip to Paris is completely for free. Everything is paid by the organization. That's even better! And what's more I won't miss any class because my flight is on Thursday evening and return is on Sunday. And what's the best - we have holidays on Monday!

I am sad because Kate goes home every weekend and leaves me here. I understand that it's better to be at home, there are better conditions for studying and sleeping. Private happiness.

I am not really sure if someone reads our lines. There are no comments. Maybe someone could be so nice and make us happy by leaving some warm words for us ;-)

The Daily Distaste

As Suzanne wrote, everything is bad...not everything but almost everything! I found out couple days ago that I will have to take horrible exams from math. It wont be just one!
The good news is I have days off next week...I will have to babysit my sister´s dogs next weekend so I will have the strenght for it after those days off which is great. Otherwise I would have to kill them..what a nice positive sentence to end with:)

Kate

On duty

Ufff

We've oficially begun studying at university and feeling desperate. Almost every day we get up at 6am. That's the worst thing I'm not able to manage. I'm asking myself "why?". I'm not going to write everything here because I have no time for it and don't really feel like complaining.

All I want to say is I don't regret anything. So far.

Ugh

Hello boys and girls

I am absolutely exhausted. The reason? The entering to subjects at uni is coming and I don't understand anything, I am looking into a list of subjects and am getting blind of it. I am mad.

Kate wrote very interesting news to our quick news column. I'm not actually with my boyfriend right now but maybe I will. I would like to go to the cinema because the weather is horrible, I don't know what to do but I am sure I don't want to see the subjects and schedules and anything about uni now. Kate's boyfriend is sick and I'm really truly sorry for him. I hate vomiting. I can stand many things but vomiting. Ble.

I'm working on finding a part-time job. I am going to inerview next week. Think of me. I am scared. I really need a job (or money).

There are a few days left before school starts. Tomorrow it's a holiday which is just great. We (me + my bf) are planning that I will teach him how to drive a car. It will be fun :-) I hope the weather will be better. I want to enjoy the last few days of doing-nothing.

Oh, I almost forgot to write about my get-together trip! ... I can't find words. I read about 7 km form the railway station to the camp but ... it was actually something between 10 and 12 km because the organiser knew that if he had said that we have to go 12km, nobody would have probably gone with him. So the beginning was interesting as well as the end. At the end we walked 4 km while raining!!! Just great! The most important thing took place on Tuesday when the director of the Institute of International Studies arrived and talked about how to register and enter the subjects. I am smarter and also more frightened.

That's all for now. I have to go to rack my head over the entering.

See you

Suzanne

let´s sing a song






Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favourite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you-
Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you.

Now turn away, Cause I'm awful just to see
Cause all my hair's abandoned off my body,
Oh my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the kimo,
But counting down the days to go..
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know,
That if you say
Goodbye today I'd ask you to be true,
Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you...
Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you...

...I am allergic to some kind of people...

I am really exhausted right now. The thing is, that I spent yesterday and today in my new job. It is called a Course Registrar and it is in language school I attended last year. It would be fine but .. there is always the word but:) There is a "girl" I really dont like. She just thinks that she is the best in the whole world and nobody is better than her. She works there for a year. She is even arrogant towards our boss. She speaks brilliant English and therefore she supposes she is much better than everybody. I just dont understand people like her..

I am going to be there on my own next week. That will be very funny I think. I can imagine myself in front of the computer with a huge line of people, the phone ringing, my stomach growling ...that is the perfect picture! Or I will type here such a desperate blogs that I dont know what to do ...

Hopefully I will manage!

Suzanne is coming back today from her getting-to-know-you camp. I was kind of surprised cause I thought she was going to be back tommorow. But that´s ok:) I will be here just with Lucy anyway.

Anyway, I saw a gorgeous coat! In Zara... Its just amazing! I´ll put the picture here!! I wont!! :((( I didn´t find it on internet, booooo ... so I HAVE TO buy it now and take a picture of me in it!!

If you gave me three wishes I'd throw two of them away


It has been a week since we've updated our blog. I'm not sure if any news has been occupying our lives recently but I have time right now and my flatmate is sleeping (or trying to sleep) and I just need a little talk.

I kind of like the photo that Kate posted in her last article. It's a little bit depressing because it's too dark but if you look at it as if it's a sunset (or sunrise) then it makes you feel calm. And that's the way how Katie wrote her story. I agree with what she said there always must be a difficulty because that makes us stronger and grown-up.

On Tuesday I joined a reunion of my future classmates. We went to a restaurant called Simple Simon (in czech: Hloupy Honza) where we sat around a big table and talked and where music was quiet but nice. There are such interesting people I must admit. I'm going on a get-together trip next week and I'm quite nervous but also curious. All the things I am approaching to make me nervous and curious at the same time which is, in my opinion, a great mix :-) [with no irony].

I've also registered in Instituto Cervantes and I will attend the spanish course every Saturday from 9am to 1pm. I hope I get lots of information about university on the trip because I'm still not sure about the third language. I think I have to attend a language course so I've already made a decicion I will go to the French Institute and apply for Friday course from 4pm to 8pm. It's not a final solution.

Oh, I almost forgot ... I visited World Press Photo on Monday. It was mostly sad as usual. I didn't expect a change. The truth is I don't like the winning
photo. I like the contrast - a beautiful car with nice people and destroyed buildings in the background but I just feel nothing to write about. Maybe because the people in the car look like they've just came from Hollywood and the situation hasn't touched them because they just seem to be posh. That's my feeling from the photo. I think there were better photos in the exhibition. Last year I liked the winning photo so much I bought a picture of it.

The Kate's fashion updates make me crazy. I'd like to buy a similar coat but I'm running out of money ...

Hiii peopleeee!


I am pretty sure that you should enjoy every happy moment in your life the most you can. Because the life changes in every second. I was so happy yesterday in the afternoon. We were sitting with Somelady in a coffee shop drinking a good coffee. I got a new job, we live in an amazing flat, my boyfriend was on his way to our place..but couple hours later, everything was different. The job seems to be still current though, but that´s all! :)) No, we still live in the flat too, but things aren´t so smooth as it looked like before. But on the other hand, it is not sooo bad:) (we didn´t break up or something either:)

But it would be maybe too boring I suppose...life with no problems:)
Anyway, there are "problems" and "problems". Some people find problems just everywhere eventhough there are not any. To say the truth, sometimes I am one of these people:) But I am trying very hard not to be. It´s very difficult, trust me:) But for example, my future classmates are already worrying about our new school duties and all things around..but why?? tell me why?? when you have no idea what everything will be like..you will just see..
good night everybody:)

2007-09-10

Hi folks!

Nice to see you again. I am at my mother's at the moment. I spent here two pleasant days but I am glad I am going back to our flat soon ;-) Tomorrow I am going to register to university and that's what makes me crazy :-0 You surely know that feeling ... you want to go there because you're curious but on the other hand you are so nervous that you just can't. Boo.

The greatest news is that we both love our new apartment! We can't believe it. We really like it so much that we don't want to leave it for the weekends-with-parents thing. Our room si very adorable! Maybe we like it way too much just because it's only ours and we can basically do with it what we want. We can organize our day as we want and no one can interfere in our affairs. Whoopee.

On Saturday I was in the cinema to see a movie called Irina Palm. It was about a woman whose grandson was dying of some disease and the only way how to cure him was to send him to Australia because there they have found a new treatment. Their problem was money. The journey and all expenses cost something and they couldn't earn so much money in a short period of time. So here we go. This kind old lady had a plan how to get this money by working in a sex club. Not that it was a difficult work, she became the best in her domain. I was surprised that the movie turned into this way, I expected a sad real-life movie. When I got home one of my flatmates came up with a good theory that the surname Palm is actually connected to the job she was doing ... (Irina Palm was her nickname).

Now I have to go.
