iVegan

When the new year began I decided I should try to eat vegan at least for a month. I decided to do that mostly out of curiosity on how it'll effect me (I really like to try most people think its bad-that's how I discovered wonders of CS!), how hard it was in my country to get that kind of food, how the people around me will perceive it and also because I don't like what's happening to animals all around the world. When I was still in high school these things effected me so much, I could feel them suffer, but because it was too big of a burden for me I decided I should stuff those feelings along with others that made me cry and suffer with them in a place where I wouldn't be bothered with them. Of course in a while I put up my life on a right track, but I started feeling like I was numb, like I should let those feelings back. At first they were a really hard thing for me to deal with, but now I can control them. I know, I feel with people that are sufferening, but I try this energy to be focused and then channeled into helping in other ways and expressing these feelings through music. I really hope this helps anybody, I dont' know if it does-yet, but I hope it does. Well, but that's another topic to discuss, so now let's focus on my decision of being vegan. Here are the results:

 

Eating out: I've learned there are some restaurants where you can get really nice vegetarian foods and just a few with vegan foods. What I like about one restaurant is, that in a month I've been going there they expanded vegetarian foods. In most restaurants you have like one vegan dish and a few vegetarian ones, but you can get by.
What I missed is that if I go into smaller grocery shops you don't have many foods to choose from as well-mostly you can find foods with added milk, eggs and honey, the only few things you could choose from are: some fruits (like apples and bananas), bread, some crackers, different kinds of juices, other from that you can hardly get anything-it's like cheese, different kinds of yoghurts, sandwiches and snack all around you, but not for you.

Buying vegan foods: you can get bread everywhere, different kinds of flour and grains and nuts as well, that applies for fruit and vegetables as well, but getting soy milk, soy and other vegan products is a bit trickier-you can get them in big supermarkets and in specialized stores for that kind of food (i found 2 in our capital city), but the prices are still bit higher than they are for other foods.

Other people's opinion: I noticed that loads of people think that if you eat vegan you don't have much to choose from and they all think that eating vegan you don't get all the vitamins etc. that you get if you eat "normal". I learned that that's not true, I've also told them what I knew but some of them didn't want to listen to me at all (of course I didn't wont to bug them, its their opinion after all) and some even insisted that the way I'm eating is not healthy for me, that for sure it's ok if I'm only going to do it for a month to clean my body, but then I should eat normal. WHat is normal anyways?
THe most often discussion when you mention that you're eating vegan is-firstly we have to determine what that even means-was about how unnatural that was or about treating the animals. Most people agreed that the way people treat animals they kill for food isn't the right way and that many animals are really suffering.
Killing animals: I even discovered about cases around here where they don't treat animals the way they should be treated. We agreed that if the animals wouldn't get the aditives and be treated against their nature (pigs in Ihan don't get to sleep because they want them to think its always daytime, time to eat; chickens everywhere around here don't have even enough place to move so they can't stand on their own-and I can tell you this because we bought one chicken from a chicken farm to be "our pet" and when we got her she couldn't stand normal, she had too long "claws" and she wasn't able to jump on a stick for the longest time, she had really bad feathers and didn't look well, but since we got her she got better and now she's really healthy and looks really beautifull). I think every animal should be treated nice and be left to live freely and if a human being should kill to survive then it shouldn't kill with anger but should recommend that animal to higher powers and "kill her with respect". I know this sound awfull, but if one should kill he should do it because there couldn't be other choice for him to survive or at least if they grow their cattle for eating they should left them to live normal and when killed they should kill them with respect, if you know what I mean. And I'm not for killing, but this could be at least one step closer to not killing at all. Nobody deserves to die in horrible conditions and on force. That's just not right.

My family's reaction: At first my mother and brother didn't want to eat vegan and I didn't want to force them. I told them I'll eat vegan and they can eat whatever they want, but in the end we all got adjusted to eating vegan. And I'm really glad my father listened and now he's researching veganism and is all for it :)

How did I feel and how do I feel now: Putting my cold I got aside, ever since I started eating vegan I feel better. I set my mind with this goal and I achieved it. I have to say that the toughest wasn't the begining. Yes, it was though for me because I didn't know how many foods I could eat (I only thought of vegetables and fruit at the begining), but when I found out the variety of foods I could eat it wasn't that hard anymore. The thoughest time for me was the 3rd week of eating vegan, I had this thurst to eat honey, sweet things and cheese, but I got by. Now when I think of eating meat I feel sick, I really don't know why.
My digestive system at first had some problems with gas (hehe), but after that I felt so much better, no more that itching feeling on my skin, no more anxiety and that horrible feeling I'll have to go to the toillet for my diarrhea. Yes, now I'm free from it!
Since I want to know on what my body reacted that badly I'll slowly add foods on my menu to see what it is. I suspect milk and milk products.

WHat now: I'll keep my basic diet vegan, but when needed I'll also eat honey and use eggs for the desserts I'll make. This decision is because we have bees and chicken at home and we treat them real nice and I don't see a problem why I shouldn't use these products. From time to time I'll probably eat some cheese (but really rarely) but I decided I won't use milk and exclude as much milk products as I can from my diet. I also decided I'm not going to eat meat since I don't have any cravings for it anymore. So basically my diet is going to be vegetarian/vegan.

I'm really glad I tried this out it made me see some things more clearly as I saw them before.
At first it was though for my family because we weren't used on cooking whithout milk products and eggs, but now that they've seen how many great recipes one can make even with "just" vegan products it's much easier :)

Oh, and one thing ... Normal sausage costs you like and 1€ for 4 of them but for vegan sausages you have to pay for the same amount of them 5€! I won't be eating sausages, so I'm not complaining, but it's not fair! ;)

 

To all of you who don't know it or can't decide-try and you'll see if it suits you!

Magic Hair Sollutions

Ok. I don't know if you ever had hair problem. But you probably did, like most of the ppl, i guess.

Usually ppl who have straight hair want to have curly hair and the other way around.
At some point in life (at least) women want to have long hair.
Most of the ppl with straight hair have a problem of greasy hair and would traid with curly-haired to have a  dry hair, and those who have dry hair would love to have a bit more greasier hair.

I've had hair problems since i can remember ... So here are a few things that help me maintain my hair all shiny and nice without any artificial hair products (of course i wash my hair with mild shampoo's and every now and then i use LUSH balzams, so don't think these alone help feel your scalp all fresh and wonderfull). I know some of you may have a hard time with your hair and i think nobody deserves to suffer from scalp and hair problems, so i'm posting you 4 things that help

So, my hairdresser has reccommended me to buy this product for my hair tips, which is quite ok, but it's not as good as BEER. Yes, you've heard it right-beer is one of the best product i've ever used for my hair! Every 2nd washing i do i put beer on my hair. I've heard of this method from my friend from Montenegro. She told me her grandmother does this and she does it and it's the best way to have a good rooted hair. At first i thought it was funny and that i would smell like a drunk person after putting beer on my hair, but it's not like that at all (maybe if you'd put like a barrel of it on your head-but nothing's good in to many quantity-it's all about quality, remember this! :)). Ok, so I tried this beer theory out of curiosity and out of fun and after doing it my tips of hair became stronger and shaped more nicely. Ever since i've decided to practice this method. I'm using it for two years now and I couldn't be happier with my hair. They're really curly and strong now and shine nicely. After i put it on my hair, my hair doesn't smell like beer at all (maybe when the hair is still wet, but then it's dried it smells like hair smell usually ...). So, what you'll have to do is:
1. wash your hair, dry it with your towel
2. take a glass of beer
3. drink a sip of it (or more if you like)-of course you can skip this part, especially if you don't like drinking beer or if you're under age
4. put some beer in to your palm and squeeze it at the tip of your hair up (like you'd normally do with your serum for hair), squeeze it for some time, then drop it
5. repeat no.4 as long as you don't cover all of your hair
6. at the end i usually pour the rest of the beer onto my hair and sqeeze it a little more then dry it with the towel (the towel will smell, so you'd want to wash it afterwards)
My friend likes to dry her hair at the end with an electric hair dryer and when she's done she repeats the beer routine to freshen them up (but just a little), but i prefer to leave them dry themselves. So i usually do this routine before i go to sleep or when i don't have to leave the house. That way i don't have any problems with my split ends and my hairdresser usually compliments how nice and healthy my hair is.
Since i've mentioned hair drying ... If you have a chance don't dry it with a hair dryer, but do it "on the air", to leave them dry themselves. Unless you're in hurry. But in other case, take your time and it'll pay of! :)
Oh, and another thing-it's funny to do it, because every time i need beer i go to our male section and ask them for beer and every time they make fun of it. Like the other day i was preparing for and evening concert so i've washed my hair in the morning and one of them came in, saw me with a beer in a bathroom and said: "Oh, you drunk! You've started really early today. You must have been really thursty then!" and then he went and told everybody else that i'm having a beer at this time of day :) Well-the concert in the evening was a big success!

One of the things I usually do (maybe it won't help you, but it helps me) is to finish your washing with cold water. I feel like my hair gets stronger then. Like if you feel cold one of the way to warm up is to swap from hot to cold water-it's good for your blood circulation.

Usually when i got sick of my curly hair i straighten them with hair straightener. I noticed that after that-when i wash them, my hair gets more curlyer. But don't do that too ofter. I do iron once a year, and that's enough, since ironing damages loads of your hair.

Ok, another thing that helps my scalp is Cammomile water or Henna (the natural colour). After you're done with your washing just simply pour a cammomile tea (you've prepared before and is now cold or at least not boiled!) over your scalp. Alternative for this is if you mix OLIVE OIL+HONEY+LIME and put it on your scalp (i do this like once a year, maybe twice, not more, whilst you could do the CAMMOMILE method more often). Another alternative i like to do is HENNA colour (look at the link i've posted). I do this once/twice every year. After i do that my scalp feels soooooo much lighter. I usually live it on my scalp at least 3 hours. Make sure you buy the one which has the most natural ingredients in it. But you must note, that if you use henna your hair will get coloured (usually red/orange, but there are other colours available as well), so if you want to keep your hair your colour, don't do that :)


My friend gave me a scalp massager for my birthday once. They say it's very good for your scalp, some say it even prevents your hair to grow or not fall of that much. Well I don't know about that since i've got no problem with that, but if nothing else after you use it-it stimulates your scalp and you feel really good (like you do after every other massage) only you can this by yourself. You can read more about it here.


So, those are a few things that help my scalp and my hair. Some of them you may like, some of them maybe not. Try what is good for you and it helps you-USE IT! You must note that every person has it's own scalp and its own type of hair, so if this helps me it doesn't mean it'll help you (but for beer thing, i guarantee that it will help you no matter what!) and that it's not good to do this things every single time you wash your hair!! Ok? So don't exaggerate. Try to find what's best for you and do that! :)
 

(wow, didn't know i was able to write that many words about HAIR. don't think i'm a hair maniac!)

Hope you'll find sth to help you. Wishing all of you guys a splendid day! And here is one pic I made when i was in London. It made me laugh and appreciate my curly hair! :)

Love hurts

There are so many things one could write in blogs. About your life, what's happening around you, about things you like and don't like, you are inspired by. This last week of our previous year was a week to let me think. I fell and hit my knee so hard i couldn't walk normally, and then i got a cold, so here i am, sitting behind the computer writing words, instead of doing this a bit differently-by composing music about it (which i'm going to do as soon as i write this down-sometimes words help you to write better-although i have still loads of things to learn).

Well, sadly, after this hectic year i had the only thing i can think of is- I HATE MEN. Or not, i don't hate man, because loads of them are allright and really good friends of mine, i just hate man in an aspect of them as being your second half. You know-true love and all. But, shouldn't true love wait for you and not jump near you in one moment and away from you in another? I don't know. I guess after all these years i don't believe in me finding it ever. And that's what i hate. Maybe it's good for the others, but it looks like it's not meant to be for all of us. I believe it happend to you guys as well, but ... At least i hope this pain will help me understand music in some deeper depths of human soul.

Right ... they say every experience is good for something. I have to say i'm lucky to have a family as mine, friends as i have and life as i have at the moment. So, i'm not allowed to complain about anythings else. I should appreciate what i have and what God has given me. And thank Him for all of that. But still, it hurts.

And all these things made me think what i once promised i would do and what i loved ... Maybe it's meant to be like this and i should take a slightly different path. Mysterious are the paths of the Lord ... Let's see where they bring us.



... and i still got a tea-so everything's gonna be allright :)

There are still good ppl in this world

This is an actual story that happened.

A few weeks ago a man on a bycicle came to our village and since he had a long ride and after a whole day of cycling felt he was hungry, naturally, went to the store to buy some food. When he arrived at the cashier he discovered that he hadn't had the money to buy his sandwich with himself, so he asked the cashier if he could take the sandwich and brought the money sometime later. At first the girl looked at him all surprised but then she said he could do that.
There passed a week, and another and a man never came back. A girl wondered whether she did right to trust that man-of course those few euros aren't much (especially if we compare how much money is lost every year in food stores because ppl eat stuff there or steal food etc.-but that's not an issue now), but what if she trusted like that everybody, what if everybody said they forgot their wallets at home-can't imagine the loss ... And just as she expected the least the man came into a store and brought her money for the sandwich and gave her 5-times of the price of the sandwich to her, because she trusted him.
Why he hasn't come back sooner? He probably was from somewhere far.
Why he came back at all if he could just forget about it and leave it be? Some ppl would do that ... But this example just proves that there are still good and trustfull ppl living on this Earth. And this is just a plain example, which could be ignored and is just one small of many bigger things that lead me to a conclusion how simple some of the things in this world are that make us feel better in it. Even a "simple" walk in the woods with your dog on a sunny (or even not sunny) day could make you feel the same, because it leaves in us a feeling, it makes us feel that it's worth living, though sometimes things seem to get "out of focus". You know what i mean?


p.s. This reminds me a bit of one time when i forgot all the documents with the money alongside at home and went to a petrol station to fullthe tank of my car (from time to time my car has a tendency to be hungry or thirsty so i have to feed it) and when i arrived at a chashier i realised i don't have anything worthy (in material way) with me. So, what to do now? I didn't have anything to prove who i am, so that guy just had to trust what i was saying and take the risk. They gave me a paper that said that if i didn't pay the bill in a weeks time a police will hunt me down and put me in the jail. Of course i payed the bill as soon as i got my wallet, but what would happen if that man wouldn't trust me at that point (he hesitated a lot)? (Thank God for him trusting me.) And this was just one of many adventurous things that happened to me and my car :)

Why i'm not a poet?

Maybe it would be good,
to have some food;
maybe it would be fine,
to have some wine ...

... that's why i'm not a poet and i think everybody should do what they're best at :)

Hypatia

Let this link be a starter. I've never heard about her untill today. And if i look in music history i can only find St. Hildegarde mentioned as a composer, speaking of literature and other art etc. you can barely find any. Why is it that history don't speak much of women? Even nowadays some ppl make boundries between women and man. I've experienced it lately. Have you?

Delay

Because of abnormal "fallage" of snow this year, and especially of today's extra, i had to wait half an hour to go to Ljubljana and and hour and a half to take a train back home. Sometimes this things happen for a reason. I met an interesting person :) I must say that enjoyed every second in the waiting of a train :)

Music and it's origins- PART I.

Since i'm studying music i decided why not to write down what i know about it so far. So, here it goes.

If you don't agree with me, then i urge you to write what you think and tell me your opinion or correct me, if i'm wrong.

Part I

What is music, actually? Music is a creation, which stays as sth new, it's what a human being makes a their, by him/herself. So bird singing, a car's noise etc. is not defined as a music. More precisely, music is a timely settled sequence of strengthened or at least quite defined tones.



Music has existed for approximately 600 000 years.


I. MUSIC OF THE PRIMITIVE/FIRST PEOPLE

How do we know how the first people lived? Well, we can take the aborigines and indians etc. as an example. These tribes lived separated from modern civilisations for a long time, so we can make comparisons between them and the first people and that's the only way we can imagine how music sounded at the beginning.

Music meant sth powerfull and magical to them. With music they were in touch and they connected themselves with divine powers above them.

Some characteristics of their music:

a. a simple rhythm- reminds us of the rhythm of walking (more complicated rhythms are typical only for Africans, who have a really great sense for it)

b. short, endlessly repeating motives

c. narrow extend of melodics (we know five types of it):

§ fanfare type (sang in thirds)- known from New Guinea

§ pentatonic type (is without tonal centre)

§ resembling-steps type – known from American Indians

§ jumping type- known from Mongoles à also: Tibetans- bifonal singing (one person sings so, that two voices are heard)

§ garland type- from Middle East

4. unison (it's possible polyphone singing, but rarely)
5. music is sang by everybody, it is the quality of all!!, everybody takes part in singinig



the groups of instruments: percussions, string instruments (hunting bow) and wind instruments (simple flute, animal-hunting horn, didgeridoo-aboriginal people)





After these first groups of people, eho created music, we can talk about the music of the 1st civilisations. With that we refer to music from China, Japan, Palestine, Arabia, Mesopotamia, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome.



But first, let's find out sth about polyphonic in non-European music, with that we mean in Asia, India, Africa, Caucasus …

What is POLYPHONY? It's a musical performance in which more voices (at least 2) sing the same or different melody in interval spacing, which is not sang in an octave or unison.

We know more ways, such as:

§ singing in parallel intervals (2,3,4,5…)

§ intervals replaced with other intervals … and from that we can get. A CANON- mutual imitation of the melody

§ Bordune- the tone, which is repeating constantly till the end of a song

§ free/independent polyphonyà Ostinato-rhythmical-melodical pattern, which is constantly repeating, above the melody

§ Heterophony- everybody in the group with instruments plays the same, but we hear differently, because the instruments are differently harmonized

Letter C

If i write down letter C in Google i find this site on the first page quite interesting: CELSIUS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius)–why? Because it makes me wondering why is it that in some parts of the world we say: »It's minus 6 (and we mean Celsius by it) outside,« and some say: »It's 21 (and they mean fahrenheit)«? And then one starts wondering why some use kilometres and some miles when they talk about the distances-isnt' that quite confusing? We have so many different ways and words to express same things, for which if you don't want constantly ask people for it's meaning you have to know a bit more, you have to be well informed and to know other things. But that isn't bad at all-if we forget about the knowledge and concentrate on something else then one starts realising that difference in this world is important, because – let's look at the simplest example: imagine that all the trees and flowers in this world would be the same, wouldn't it be boring? Different colours and shapes of the trees make them unique and interesting, but although they are different together they make harmony and make a clourfull and interesting image. So that's why i think that diversity is good! Differences join us together and make the world more clourfull.

If i look up videos under the letter C i find a clip from Sesame street.



If i write litter C in Yahoo toolbar then i find this: C++ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++) of which i've never heard … - have you? There are so many things we don't know that it start you to think what do i want to know, how much knowledge can i store in my "little" and bounded brain?
And under the videos i find loads of them that involve football.

Well ... That's it! ;)

Happiness

What is happiness?

Wikipedia says this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness

To some it may be what's portraited on this picture: http://static-p3.fotolia.com/jpg/00/05/44/28/400_F_5442891_1CRcGg77ZcYfPxEIVkUq2oWwE6u4LqeD.jpg

To every person it means something different, but to me, at least at this moment, happiness equals to composing :D

What does mean happiness to you at this moment?

A and B

If i write letter A in my google searcher i don't get many interesting sites (only the ones in my language), under the video i get music from Slovenian artist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILEYem3mPc0 - if you like it or not i don't know (she's famous here beacause of her "special" clothes), and under the pics i can't find anything special either.

If i write letter A in yahoo searcher then i find this site: http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=46.2361&lon=15.2675&z=10&l=0&m=b which i've never heard of, but i'm glad i did find it, because it looks interesting and having to know different sites with maps is a good thing, especially if you love to travel :D If i look under the video, then i find this video quite interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMOJLBvMnlw - in general i get out the videos containing letter a as in "a tree" :) How unespected :)


If i look under the letter B, then in google this would be quite interesting: http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B because vitamins are vital for our health, othervise other sites seem to be quite ... well, check what you get out if you write letter B. Under the videos i find this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7sl2ap9zZo (superman!). Under the pics there are loads of planes ...

If i write letter B in yahoo searcher i can also read about the vitamins, bigfoot etc. Videos are quite-see them yourself, not my taste, but pics seem to be quite interesting, like this one: http://photoshopcontest.com/images/fullsize/5fjesgprvwezkpjkoi2wuon7u88o2oqmbimm.jpg


Well, if you want to compare my results with yours i'd be most interesting to see if we get the same one's. I'm wondering ... :)

Ballet

One of my fav passions is a ballet. I used to dance ballet, but because i choose a different study i stopped it, because i didn't have time for practice due to all the other practices and concerts we're having now. I really miss dancing and i really love to watch ballet. I hope i'll be able to write a good ballet music once :)

What do you think of ballet? Do you prefer opera or ballet or both or you don't like both at all and why?

Improving your sight
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Today's walk ...
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Today as i went as every day on a walk with my dog interesting things happened. Firstly i heard a noise for which i though it was the sound of a tractor driving on the other side of the river, but that was just for the split second, because the sound i was hearing was too made. A tractor can't produce a sound so symetrical and interesting as was this one. I thought to myself: "This sounds just like sb's playing drums!", but then i left that thought aside, because who would play drums in the middle of a forest. Well ... when i come closer the sound grew nearer and i reached the point where i could see where sound came from. And what i've seen were a bunch of guys on the other side of the loud river fall at the beginning of a hill, who played on old barrels and drums and i stopped. I thought to myself how clever of them to come here, in the middle of nowhere to practice drumming. It made my day seeing them playing there. Why don't we do stuff like this? Why are we ashamed of doing music? Why we forget the prime feeling in us of producing music and not involve it in our lives? Why we always have to judge everything? Well, for some time when i walked on i heard them playing till i reached a point i couldn't hear them anymore. From there on i could only hear different kind of music: birds singing, wind blowing the branches of trees ... Later on me and my dog decided to rest and while i lay in the grass my dog went into water and lay there (it's so funny when she does that) and then we want to get some corn for the dinner ... but i think that's not so interesting as what i've written before.

Going ou naturele 2.
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

As i've already written in a previous mail about it, i'm going to add some words to it in this one too.

Since i've started knitting and exploring other roots and heritages on of the best things i dicovered about it was that at that moment time stops and you relax, forget about all the worries you have and can do much more later on throughout the day :)

All the things i've discovered so far are so interesting to me-the games my grandparents played, songs they've sung, food they've made (this part is the best-cooking traditional food-i've known some, but am learning many more now) and about all the things they've done.

What i don't like is that people are starting to forget their origin, how life was back then and are too much in this all modern technology and life we have one. I'm worried all this will be forgotten. As i've spoken to some kids there are many things they don't know and understand. But why is that so-because nobody tells them! How could they know then? Not everybody is like me, who wants to explore and ask questions. Hope this will start to change, because i think it's time we start thinking about others and about our origins, our mother Nature nevertheless ...

On the picture you can see our corn-rack or as it is called here "toplar". Nowadays we don't storrage hay in it, but as the techonology developed on - our cars :)

So, may she rest in peace :)

Toothbrush-es
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I never thought i was going to write about toothbrushes, but i discovered today that not any toothbrush can be good (not that i didn't know that already).

When i was traveling around England i came across an "add"booth, where they tried to tell ppl that washing your teeth is important. Well-i knew that allready, but i wanted to see what they know what i don't yet. I discovered that i know everything they had to tell me, so they gave me a gift bag in which there was a toothbrush, toothpaste and a leaflet.
Well and then i forgot all about it ...

When i came home i put things back where they all belonged and didn't care about the toothbrush-until today. It was a high time for me to change it, so i opened new one i got during my travel in England. I always hated small brushes. When i was in primary school i even wanted to have toothbrushes as "big" as you could find one. So, this time i didn't have other choice and i tried new, small brush-and guess what!? I LOVED IT! It was so brilliant. I could go to all the spaces i wanted to, there is also a special gentle rubber for a gum which i thought i didn't like (this belief came from a toothbrush i had-it had a gum rubber on it and it wasn't pleasant to use it), but i did. So, this toothbrush fascinated me so much i had to write a whole blog on it!
Which one it is you wonder?! I don't like to do publicity for such things, but this time i will make an exception: http://www.colgate.com/app/Colgate360/US/EN/HomePage.cvsp

Since i'm writing about tooth care i'll also add my fav:) toothpaste: http://www.pronamel.us/

Dog collar that teaches?!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

If anybody knows anythings about dog collar who teach a dog improper doings. I found a collar named Mutivet which is said to spray a dog when he does sth that he shouldn't with a citronella and that this spray annoys dog so much that he stops doing this habit of his (for example: you don't want your dog to wander around the village on the road by himself).
Does anybody know anything about this spray-is it really helpfull and harmless?

Here are a few links that i found of this product:

Fire
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

“Regions Caesar never knew
Thy posterity shall sway;
Where his eagles never flew,
None invincible as they.”Such the bard’s prophetic words,
Pregnant with celestial fire,
Bending as he swept the chords
Of his sweet but awful lyre. –> W. Cowper in “Boadicea” (1782)

* Time is the school in which we learn,
Time is the fire in which we burn. –> from Calmly we walk through this April’s day

* When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself. –> S. Suzuki quoted in Enter the Heart of the Fire : A collection of Mystical Poems (1981) by Mary E. Giles and Kathryn Hohlwein
* Hate is like fire; it eats you up from the inside-out. –> Babu
* As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words. –> W. Shakespeare

Love holds our lives together from day to day-it is a cure we depend on, because withouth it we can't exist. Love fills our souls to the top and it makes us feel warm and joyous.

G. B. Shaw's Quotes
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Some of these qutes (Feorge Bernard Shaw's) are so simple and true, that i must post them for all of those who love his work. For those who don't know him-in short: he's an irish playwright, who got a Nobel prize for literature and an oscar. His most known work is Pygmalion (also a film).
The first two qutes are one of my favourites.


1. The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

2. There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
o Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant, Vol. II, preface (1898)

3. The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
o The Devil's Disciple, Act II (1901)

4. There are no secrets better kept than the secrets everybody guesses.
o Crofts, Act III

5. It is more dangerous to be a great prophet or poet than to promote twenty companies for swindling simple folk out of their savings.
o Preface from Misalliance

6. Do not try to live for ever. You will not succeed.
o Preface from the Doctor's Dilemma

7. What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn't come every day.
o Act II from Pygmalion

8. Independence? That's middle-class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
o Act V from Pygmalion

9. The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.

10. Life is not meant to be easy, my child but take courage: it can be delightful.

11. You use a glass mirror to see your face: you use works of art to see your soul.

12. If you have an apple and I have an apple, and we exchange apples, we both still only have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea, and we exchange ideas, we each now have two ideas.



P.S. If you want to know from which book any of this qutes is, just ask (i didn't write for them all).

Save the planet
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I'm posting here a link of funny and splendidly made commercials to aware ppl of our planet-to make it save!

Every day we do things to pollute our planet, why not start doing sth good for it-we're going to live on it for quite some while, so throwing a garbage in a bin, reducing electricity and water consumption, driving a bicycle or walk, using renewable resources, recycling, using energy-saving light bulbs isn't that hard, is it? Think about it!

http://animalssavetheplanet.com/

________________________________________________
In Slovene (a bit larger text):

Vsak dan počnemo stvari, ki počasi in vztrajno uničujejo naš planet. Te reklame nas opozarjajo na kaj moramo paziti in kako lahko pomagamo rešiti naš planet. Kaj bo pa to sploh pomagalo? Že z malim se začne veliko: kamen na kamen-palača, tako da se dolgoročno to naše početje, ki ga lahko opravimo spotoma, z leti obrestuje. Res je, da smo že veliko uničili, a če bi na stvari gledali le tako, da je pa potem vseeno, ali pomagamo ali ne, ali počnemo te stvari o katerih nam reklame govorijo ali ne, potem bi naš planet bil že zdavnaj še bolj zasvinjan kot pa je že sedaj. Tako da, ni res da je vseeno-vse se obrestuje, nam pa tudi ni tako težko ugasniti elektrike, zapreti pipe, če je ne potrebujemo, vreči smeti v koš itn.-kajne?

At his approach they immediately fled to secure to their garbs, and, taking upon themselves the form off seals, plunged immediately into the sea.

Seriousness
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

When you grow up you tend to be serious-your taste for humour changes a little, you start forgetting how is to be a child and all the "grown up symptoms" come out.

When i was 9 years old i thought to myself how ridiculous grown ups are and that i'll never forget how is it to be a child. Yesterday this promice of mine came alive again.
We had a meeting during which we had to discuss things, make plans for children in our scouts group-where are we going, what are we going to do etc. At the end we had to talk things over but then, suddenly, we all felt that it's growing dull and we wanted to do sth else instead. The pillows on the couches were inviting us that we should grab them, and then ... a pillow fight started!
Ahhh-and then i remembered that i was growing to serious during all the exams we had in our university this year and that this kind of moments do me good, so ... To all of those who won't admit a child in you-you're always going to have a child in yourself-don't try to kill it, it'll make you feel younger (not that i'm old, but we forget that feeling sometimes too quick).

So, in the memory of the child in us-let him/her live in you 4ever. Being serious can kill your spirits-so have fun and do fun stuff! ;)

Innocent little gadgets
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

When you see a video like that you must ask yourself where does our world go to and what else can this "innocent" things like mobile phones do to us. Now ask yourself how much can this gadget harm us and all the others (especially children) who wear them in a pocket of our trousers ...

Then there comes out the next question-is the technology really good for us? Count together the pro's and the contra's-so, what do we do now? If you're too shy to speak up about this here then you can click on the poll bellow the video.

Canoe Accident: The last drop on the river
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Sevnica-a few people along with a mayor of Sevnica decided they would go on the last trip on the river, where they would build and soon open a hydroelectric power station and they went on the last trip-literally. They said this is going to be a historical trip, never to be forgotten, and they were so right.

Everything was going fine until they came to a "waterfall" where the canoes split in half and some of the bodies are still missing. Our rescuers are working hard, but they still haven't found all of the missing. What i found absurd and ironic here is that they went there like nothing is going to happen, when a common sense should tell them it isn't ok to go there, where the forces are all working hard and a boat couldn't survive it in one piece-they should definatelly check the situation out before going on forward. And what is really scary and also tragic at the same time is that people were watching, filming it and when watching a video you can see how confident and calm people are when going there where they would be dead in a minute.

Anyways, you can read more about this "event" on link bellow. My condolence goes to all the famillies that their belowed died there-may all rest in peace!!

Architecture
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I've written a blog about Joze Plecnik and now i'm going to write down something about architecture, which architecturers i like etc.



Architect: a person who engages in the profession of architecture,

architecture: the profession of designing buildings, open areas, communities, and other artificial
constructions and environments, usually with some regard to aesthetic effect. Architecture often includes design or selection of furnishings and decorations, supervision of construction work, and the examination, restoration, or remodeling of existing buildings.



And my favourite architects are:

1. Joze Plecnik

2. Antoni Gaudi

When seeing that exceptional things are even possible in modern world one can stay withouth a breath when seeing this man's architecture. I think Spain (Barcelona) is distinguished by his work as much as Ljubljana is distunguished by Plecnik's. Love his works, how he plays with light and different patterns, styles and puts them in one whole-mixing styles could end up badly, but the way he does it is marvellous!

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoni_Gaud%C3%AD


3. Friedensreich Hundertwasser

This artist's name tells it all! His style reminds me a bit to the Gaudi's. Here's a link about him, so you won't have to bother about that: Hundertwasser
My mom took me on a trip once to Vienna, when i was just a little kid and was fascinated by his architecture so much, that i never forgot it-i still love it because of it's imagination that it's included in it!

Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundertwasser



There are loads of architects that i love their work, but these three are among exceptional and modern ones, so i put them out. If you like it and if you know any other modern/classical architects, please do write a comment! ;)

Joze Plecnik
Related to country: Slovenia

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Ok, this is one of my favourite architects that existed ever! I'm not gonna write about him, but just post some links about him that you can read more about this wonderfull artist from that poin on.

I love his work, what he's done. He has lived and created in 20th century and has done so much for Ljubljana, that is this capital of ours partialy special because of his work. He has also done a lot of work in Vienna and in Prague.

Here are the links:

1. http://www.ljubljana-tourism.si/en/sights/plecnik_ljubljana/default.html (Plecnik in Ljubljana)

2. http://www.plecnik.net/ (great site about him!!)

3. http://www.thezaurus.com/webzine/joze_plecnik_architect/

Here are the sketches of how he imagined our parliament to look like: http://www.gimvic.org/projekti/timko/plecnik2d/parlament.html

When walking in Ljubljana you never get bored of it, because it has loads of details thanks to Plecnik and many other architects (and it's basis from roman empire when it was called Emona). If you ever get a chance to visit it, hope you'll like it-it isn't big, but it has loads to show!

My new dog
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

It's been two wonderfull months since i've got this cute little braniac that i'm so proud of! I've got her from an animal shelter (they say they've treated her really badly and i can see that sometimes by the dreams she has when she's sleeping). She's really brilliant dog, really smart, versatile and unique - a dog, that one can only wish for. One simply must like her-look at her eyes! ;)

The Car and I
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The story about the car and me

It was a sunny winter day, when i passed my driving exam and got my driving licence. From that moment on i was free of everything stupid i had to do on the exam - i could drive as i wished (here's a proof how stupid beginners are). I thought i was so cool driving in my parent's VW Golf Mk2-i thought this was the best car ever! I really liked it, bonded with it and with its limits, until one day my parents told me, that i could get a fine car for a small amount of money. It really was cheap, so we got it, but i didn't like it. It was too soft to drive in-i got Mercedes A140. It was a really rought time for me to adjust to the idea i'm driving such a fine car-i was kindda ashamed driving in it. But then months passed by and slowly i started forgetting all about Golf (here's the proof that love fades away slowly but never entirely) and slowly get accustumed to the idea that i'm driving a Mercedes. Yes-we bonded. I cared for it: i washed, cleaned it and give it to drink and it drove me wherever i wanted to. It was a love that slowly grows into you.

We were so happy together until one day i came to the place where i left him but he (yes, it's a he) wasn't where i left him. With the help of my friends i found it somewhere far away from where we parted the last time-the spider took him (= truck that tows away cars if they're not parked properly-i still claim that it wasn't and it was in the middle of the night!). At that point i was so happy to see him-i realised i couldn't get far without it, he really is special car. And then we went through some other adventures that i'm not going to tell you; until the last one we experienced. We drove very far into the country, enjoyed it's landscape and as we were returning back home i wanted to take him to drink, because he looked really dehydrated but he was too exhausted to drive the last 100 metres so he decided he would stop just there in the middle of the road-in the middle of the city-in the middle of the night!! I told him he should wait just where he lost his strenghts and quickly went to the first petrol station (the first one was closed, so i had to walk for another 500 metres) from where a nice guy drove me back to my car where i gave him to drink i bought for him and then we drove for another two kilometres (that previous petrol also closed when i left) where we stopped for a longer drink. It was much more interesting if you were there to see it-it was sad and funny at the same time. An experience i'll never forget and repeat it again.

Well, if you're wondering, we're doing just fine and are still good friends and will stay like that for quite some time and when our paths will part i'll never forget my small little black Mercedes. Now i'm more grown up (hehe) and have loads of experiences how to drive and what to be carefull about and know that you can't drive as your ideas of how you should from the beginnings were-but we're always learning, so, here's to all the new experiences and adventures!

The End.


P.S. You can write sth about your experiences with cars ...

The Story About A Little Duckling
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Loads of times i forget what i want to say to people. When i'm thinking about things we've said later, i remember hundreds of things i could say to then. Here's a little story i'm writing for anybody willing to read it, about a duckling, who had the same problem as i do have it, sometimes.

Once upon a time in a little pond in the valley of peace lived a little ducking who had bright soft yellowish feathers, was very smart, knew loads of things but had a little problem, that enabled her to talk to other ducks. When all her friends talked about things that happened in the pond and beyond it or about the other issues ducks usually talk about, she allways wanted to join them in the conversation, but every time she wanted to say sth, she couldnt. At first other ducks allways waited for her to say sth, but after a while, when they realised she couldnt say anything they grew a habit that every time she wanted to say sth they ignored her and didnt bother to listen to her anymore. The other reason for this was also that at the times when she managed to say sth, nothing sensible came out of her, so they started to mock her and make fun of her. After that this little duck just listened to the conversations her fellow ducks had and thought to herself what she could say. When they made fun out of her she remembered millions of things what would be the best to say to them afterwards, when she was alone, somewhere between the grass in the pond. Although she hadnt got any friends, she enjoyed her life. There were many little things she could do by herself (i wont be telling you about what she did-if you want to know about that part you can simply ask me;)) and with her mother who loved her for as she was.

One day when she swam along, making circles around ducks talking about an important issue of how to maintain their feathers best, sth between the grass started to move. At first ducks ignored it, because they thought that clumbsy duckling was making that noise, but when the sound grew louder and nearer and far too loud for a little duckling to make by herself, they turned their heads slowly towards the direction the sound was comming from. Behind the curtain of grass they saw orange ears that stuck out of it and they knew imediately what was going on. They started to scream as loud as they could and there was feathers and chaos flying around everywhere around-all the ducks hide wherever they could before the fox could eat them but for the little duckling who was still busy making circles around the lake and who havent noticed what had happened yet. When she came to the place where other ducks were talking before, she thought to herself: "How come they've went to their homes so early. They've just started to make a fresh conversation which usually takes them hours to finish it." and just after completing a thought to herself she noticed a fox praying towards her. Forgetting about her fear of speaking she usually had and seeing all the feathers lying around in the water she said to the fox: "You ugly beast! How could you eat all my friends!? And what do you think i can do now all by myself, huh?! Think of how you would feel about if sb ate all your friends that you have! Think of how lonely and miserable you would be and now imagine how do i feel right now. You've done enough harm here-go away and never return back again. You're so mean and i thought you foxes were nicer. All the other ducks allways talked about how you were mean, eating ducks, but i didnt belive them. I said to myself, that such wonderfull beasts couldnt be as bad as others talked about, but now i see that they were right. You really are a cruel beast. You dont deserve to eat such fine ducks as you have. Go away! What are you waiting for?! GO AwAY!!!" Poo fox, all perplexed and stunned by the words little duck just said to her forgot about what she was doing there for a slip moment and then thought to herself: "What a small duck and what a big heart! She really must love her friends. I'm going to find my supper somewhere else." and she run away.

Little duck just started being sad when all the other ducks that hide between the bushes came out, touched by what they've just heard and some seen (yes, some couldnt hide that well and far so they could see what was actually happening, others just heard what was little duckling screaming, not just talking about). They hugged her and thanked her for what she had just done. They said to her that she was really brave and that they hope they could have been better and nicer to her and that they could let her a chance to speak when she tried to. After that evening little duckling was scared of speaking anymore. From that point on she told to her friends, yes her friends-she made friends, everything that was on her mind, although they usually didnt agree they listened for her advice. She still didnt agree to all their points of view but at least she could tell them now. She made a good friend, who thought the same as she did, but was usually quiet about such issues because he didnt want to be the only one with the same issue. They usually stepped together and tell what they thought. Some of their ideas even came true and ducks acceppted their thoughts. They made a harmony between themselves that they say had never been seen in that vally before, but was seen ever since and all the little ducks that ever lived knew the story of the brave duckling that saved her "friends" from the beast.



OK, this is a typical story with a happy ending and isnt exactly entirely about the issue i have, but it's a story. What do you think about it? Tell me!

Nightwish
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

It is snowing (it is the 4th of march) and i'm driving through the city, looking for the spaces in this mad with traffic because of the hockey game and at the same time the concert, but on the other hand beautiful city of ours. Last weeks i find it really hard to find a place to park there-if the city traffic would be better cared for there probably wouldn't be so many ppl driving with a car, but that's another issue to discuss ...



I arrive at the stadium Tivoli where there is a hockey game at which we won (yaaay!), but i ascend to the place where the concert is going to take a place. I hear there are loads of ppl from other countries there as well (from Austria, Italy ...) and i think to myself how interesting this is:)



And finally, around 9.30 pm the first band called Pain takes over the stage. They seem confident, but i as much as i try i can't relate to them and their music-it is too repetative and too ... can't describe it, realy. It is, in one way, basically just three guitars playing the same chords all the time with the drums and recorded music in the background and the yelling-when mentioned, i still haven't figured it out how they still got their voices when yelling so much and reminding me of one time when my mates persuaded me to come to the concert with them and i suddenly found myself along all the screamings and all the noise in a small cellar with loads of ppl in it and all the heat ... agh, just crazy! Isn't for me too much of heaviness of metal ;)



When they finished we anxiously waited for the Nightwish to come. And we waited and waited and waited ... for an hour!! But when they came all the waiting was payed off! They really made a show and a half with all the fireworks, fire and light and other falling-from-the-ceiling effects-crazy i say! Especially the one where they sing the part with the blood when falling red strings came all around us. Well, but this is not what we came there for, but for their music, which was excelente (love the drummer and keyboards playing) except for the lead female singer, which needs a little bit more of practice (their first singer was vocally better than this one which was the proof when she had to sing the songs from the previous cd's), but she knew how to made a nice athmosphere, so here goes a plus for her.



In short: Pirates of Carribean doll ornamenting the keyboards with a player behind them who looked exactly as Johnny Depp in this movie rolling his eyes back from time to time so they looked white; great male singer with a good voice, beautifull white long hair and two braids on his beard; a guitarist, also with blonde hair, who likes to make loads of splits on the stage; a female singer with a nice personality and girly voice and a drummer with great skills who threw a stick in my direction but haven't caught it (unfortunatelly) and a great show they made and much much more than that is what i'm never going to forget. Great job guys! Here's the song they performed the last, but in a different casting:

Let the devil take you!-EU song competition 2008
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I'm not posting here a discussion about a devil, i'm just posting a video of a song which will represent Slovenia on a Eurovision song contest in Belgrade. The title is: Vrag naj te vzame or, literary, Let the devil take you in english.
When i was watching a semi-final and a final i thought to myself how dreadfull and sensless everything in this competition, in music has become; but when i heard some other finalists from other countries i saw that our representative isn't that bad at all. Here is a video:



But as far as i'm concerned Maya should still be in our competition, shouldn't be disqualified in the first place or at least should be picked up in Ireland where she performed among the 6 finalists. But at least she showed with her performance how "stupid" our jury was when they haven't picked her-what were they thinking about when they picked up all those songs!?
I'm posting here her video (not from the competition-you can watch that one at this site:http://www.drugisvet.com/news/Maya_time_to_rise_video.html ):

Emptiness-Part 1
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Part 1: The Diaries of a loneliness
(written by Crazy Diamond)

A large field of emptiness. It seems like everything has been deserted but for some ravens crawling, rummaging the ground, some sitting on different, irrecognizable objects and some flying above through the misty air. If you try to observe one you can see it loose between all those grey clouds covering the sky. Fog is embracing everything that is near enough to reach, it looks like it has no core, no centre to rest an eye upon it-it is immense like so many things once were. But now, everything looks dull. The sun hasn't come out in years. It has been like this ever since That Thing happened. She had seen It and survived It …
At the cold, greyish and tedious day she looks out. Carefully, crouched, she looks out of her sanctuary, attentive to everything that moves outsides. Since the incident after The Thing happened, she doesn't rush into things anymore, but considers situations with Herself warily. Ever since then she found a new friend. She had to otherwise she would go mad of loneliness in this place. At first she thought she was mad for talking with herself in her own head, then she accepted it and at last, she realised that she won't survive withouth her. So she made good friends with Herself. At first she tried to talk to her, but because She didn't respond, delirious of everything that was going on around her, so Herself started to gave her advices, but she ignored those too, at last Herself stopped to talk with her and She started to miss Herself's absence, so after a long pause during which she struggled herself with starting a conversation with Herself she finally spoke. Herself pretended not to hear her at first, but soon she couldn't hold back her enthusiasm and started to talk to her. They spoke with each other and exchanged so many words one couldn't believe there were so many things to talk about. They had to catch up the time they lost when That Thing happened … (to be continued)

Illusions
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

What is an illusion?
In general is an illusion a distortion of a sensory perception, revealing how the brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation.
But an optical illusion is always characterized by visually perceived images that, at least in common sense terms, are deceptive or misleading.

What does a word illusion mean to us-to you, to him, to me? Is an illusion a thing we create in our own head because we want it to appear, to be; is an illusion a dream we have every night; is an llusion a beautifull person; is an illusion a wonder of our nature; is an illusion what other person does when making a trick; is an illusion all the persons that are gliding alongside you and talking to you and that other ppl dont see ...?
Illusion is a word that can be also used in loads of methaphores when talking about different things, like look at the Plato's Allegory of the cave (i'm going to post my thoughts about that here), in some way also Exupery's Little prince "is=?" an illusion of a sort and many other characters, but this is also another area of art to talk to, so i'm gonna stop here. Think about it. This blog isn't meant to suggest what to think, but to encourage your little grey cells to think about it-what is an illusion to you, because to me it's a surreal fact-thing, that everybody can understand it differently and has a different conception of it.

Here's also a link of video about the optical illusions for you to watch, if you like:

Figure skating
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

It's again a time of year when figure skating starts. There are a few sports i can watch on TV (athletics-gymnastics, ballet, soccer, biathlon ...)-i could watch it all day if i could. The only problem is, that i can't skate as i would like. The other day i gathered myself and went to public ice skating "park" and tried ... I managed after few minutes to figure out how it all works, but i discovered, that i wouldn't be able to skate as well as this guys do (hehe) .

Firstly, i would like to mention one of ours figure skaters (since there aren't many in Slovenia)-Gregor Urbas. I must say i'm quite impressed by his skating abilities-wasn't expecting much. He is still a bit clumsy (especially at his jumps), but his performance improved since i last saw him, so i only wish him all the best there is. Yesterday he was 11th.so congrats to Gregor! :)

So, about the others. I loved the way Plushenko skates the first time i saw him (that was in 1997-1998) and i still love to watch him skate-he is magnificent, the way he moves and does all his jumps with such a simplicity, like it isn't hard. I like the fact that he takes his time and skates really calm but elegant, it looks like he's floating above the ice.

The second figure skater i adore is Lambiel-he moves like and elegant bird swiming on surface, his motions are really soft and perceptible, he glides very softly. I first noticed him at Olympics in 2006-i remembered him by his interesting costume and by his performance; at that moment i frightened for a second about Plushenko, but was calmed right when he started to performed. It's really fun thing to notice how one can be more nervous, at the time his favourite performs, than the performer himself.

What i like at these "artists" is how they express their movements and how they execute their performance (jumps, choreography). These two i mentioned are, by my opinion, the best and the most rewarding to look at when they do their "jobs".

I'm posting here 3 videos (you can watch the rest on youtube)-they aren't the best performances, but i hope u'll enjoy anyway!

To me he was a great actor-liked his style of acting and the fact, that he wasn't haughty. Was one of the few actors i actually like. What do you think of him?

Inside my wallet
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Money, money, money, must be funny in the rich man's world ...

An everlasting issue that has, is and will concern our world no matter what century we're in. Withouth it you can't do much. With it we buy food and other necessities to get through life. And if you think about how it all started ... It started with exchanging things, people traded goods: thinking of it, nobody can do everything-everybody is good for sth else (for example let's take farming-one can do better with animals, when the other can do better at field work-We have different potentials) -leading to a conclusion, that all things can't be exchanged equally (sb's work is not equivalent to the others work). The money had to appear and humans, with their own minds, temperaments and desires, succumbed to it. "We" all became materialist because of the society, some even too much, in too extreem ways, causing all the bad consequences to our world. Greed is indeed not a good virtue, but there is, it exists among us, we can't help it, but we can try to prevent it by education. A human will think of seperate matter the way he/she will learn and made an opinion of it.
Everybody wants to be rich, to live in a prosperity, a good house with a good car in the best conditions there can be ... But not everybody can have that, because the world would be too perfect then and the economy can't exist with such an idylic situation, there must be balance in the world. Look at the natural chain of living things in our world and you'll know what i mean. Well, ...

I was running through my wallet the other day and to my astonishment i learned, that i've got quite a lot of money in it (wich is, unfortunately, gone by now). Well, here are the pics of the coins from my wallet. I found it interesting from how many different countries they came (you can see that by looking at reliefs at them). I'm happy we changed SIT's into Euros in jan 2007. At first it was hard, because we were used to tolars (also emotionally-there were symbols and ppl that marked our country's history on it and they were our own) and at first i had a better picture of how much things were worth in tolars (1€=239,64SIT, so 1€ didn't look like much at first-we had to adjust to the exchange rate), but now, when i got used to euros i'm quite happy we did it. We don't have to exchange money when we go to other EU countries anymore (except some exceptions), and i can always look at the different pics on it;) hehe. This year is exactly 1 year from when we changed our valute into €. Happy anniversary to us! ;)

Here's the link of some more pics of coins:

A song
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I really like this song. It's simple, but nice. Here's Senza l'amabile in english for all of you that like short poetry:

But for the gentle God of Cythera, Spring would never return to earth,
with her garlands of flowers, with sunshine and mirth,
but at his bidding and at his glory, blossoms return,
Winter hoary flees, and fair roses of Spring deck the earth.

Writing and its value
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

What does a writing mean when nobody reads it? What value does it have-if any at all? Does it even exist then? If nobody reads it and only a writer knows of it, although it may be online, but if nobody knows where to find it and doesnt know of it-is it real then, does it exist?

Imagine a tree in a forest. It has been alive for hundreds of years and is really high, with its mighty branches it clutches trees around it and could give a person that would come there in rain a good shelter. One would admire it when he/she would see it, so beautifull and incredible it is. Especially in spring, when it shows off its coulours and leaves burst out of it with all beauty and life it has in it. It's magic ... But this tree is situated somewhere in the middle of a wide forest where nobody has been there-ever. It's so deep in the forest and humans with all their characteristics of their nature, who don't need to go that deep into forest just because, have never set their foot near that tree. Poor old tree, tired and exhausted of a time it has lived there and helped make an oxygen with other trees around, suddenly gives up, runs out of strenght and falls down on the ground. The sound breaks through the air, makes a loud noise, but no living man hears it, because nobody is around.

Did this tree existed then? Did it really fall? Did it really made an oxygen? How can we know that for sure?! (You can try to answer this, if you think you know an answer ...)

So, if we return back to writing-does this blog i just wrote exists if nobody reads it and knows that it has even been written?! Of all the people online maybe a few will read this, but most won't. So what-that's life, get a grip-except it! That's a thing-we all must except things as they are. This blog may not be read at all, but i'll know it exists, i'll know that nobody read it. So, will books and thoughts of other people exist when nobody will read them and forgot about them. Will people in hundreads of years know that they existed ever if we forget them now? This issue is the same as the problematics with that tree i just told you about. And what do you think-if you think anything at all?
So, does a writing have a value then if nobody reads it and assess it?

Inner beauty
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I was driving in my car when i thought of this comparison that I'm going to post here. This is a simple, for some might even be "stupid", example about why is inner beauty more important than outside beauty-good looks.

Imagine yourself driving in a new modern car which is not clean, but so dirty you're embarassed to drive in. It's filthy with mud and dust, you barely see through windows and it's like that because you hadn't a chance to clean it for weeks due to work you had. When you drive in it you don't feel that confident because you drive in a fancy car which is dirty-kindda embarrassing. But what's even worse is how it's inside-there's dust and things lying everywhere. Because of what do you think you'd feel worse? You'd probably feel worse about insides than outsides, because you're driving in it and comfort comes first than a thought about how dirty is your car outsides. If you'd invite friends to drive with you they'd care more about how'd they feel inside the car rather than in what they drive in (how the car looks outside).

So, to conclude: It's more important how clean, how true you are through your acts, inside of your body-your inner beauty than how you look from outsides. People care more about what kind of person you are than about how good you look. It's nicer to be with someone you can talk to, make jokes with than with somebody who just looks great but you can't make a single conversation with this person. Sure, looks isn't to forget, it's important to feel good in your own skin, but that's another issue ...

Right VS Left
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Firstly, click on the link below:

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22535838-5012895,00.html

Now, have you seen the dancer rotate left or right?

See which side of brain you use! If you're able to switch you can see her rotate in both ways. If I want I can see her rotate clock-wise for few seconds and then can switch to anticlock-wise. Try it! It's a good exercise for a brain!

Apocalyptica ...

... is one of the greatest bands these days. Not many artists nowadays combine modern music with the classical one (they play "modern music"-heavy metal on cellos).

When speaking of making a classical music into modern one - or at least interesting to listen to - we could mention Venessa Mae, Maksim Mrvica, Apocalyptica and many others.

How they sound and if you like them-decide for yourself! Enjoy listening!

Lalala ... mmmm ...

.. are usually the sounds that are coming out of your mouths when you're singing to a music (if you don't know the lyrics or don't want to drown away a singer's voice on the radio or because of some other reasons). Everyboy likes a different type of music, which is normal and natural. What would be the world like if we all listened just to one genre of music. But ...

I like listening to a good music (yes-this usage of term is quite delicate and one can't define what is good on what is not just on the basis of his taste of music-that is true, but you must agree with me that not every music is good to ears and there are loads of people who think just like me-at least i hope so) no matter what genre it is. I mind about the quality of it - how does it sound when it's performed and if it's made out of heart and with a soul of an artist. In vocal music lyrics matter, so does the melody, in instrumental the melody dominates, so it has to be that much precise and melodical-good to listen to it.
Unfortunately, nowadays is everything, even music, so computorised and manufactured. Everybody wants to be a musician, so that's why there's so much of bad music we can listen to. I see it like that: loads of bands, individuals etc. want to be succesfull and that's the reason they feel they wanna do it. Yes, it is OK to like and feel music-that's natural even from the times of ice age. It makes you feel better when you're listening to it and it makes you whole and you can be able to perform it all-right, but that doesnt make you a musician. In here lies the core of the problem (of the immense number of so called musicians, bands ...).

Nowadays, again-unfortunately-, being a true artist isn't valued that much as it has been before. Look back at "the old ages", when musicians were praised and were high situated, because people thought of musicians as important to society. Even then they knew how important music is. Chinese even thought that the universe will crash if instruments weren't tuned and that the society will fall apart if the music won't be performed in a heathy way for everybody's soul and good wealth. And when you're listening to the "old" music, you can really feel it, you can feel the energy of it.

The quality and the sense of a good melody, thought of importance of music is slowly fading away (or returning back-don't know). If we look at the pop culture (and others) that developed during last decade, we can notice that the meaning of a good lyrics and melodies die out. Now it's only important that you don't complicate the words too much, even the melody, so that people can remember it by heart the first time they hear it. It doesn't have to mean anything-you can sing about your visit to a toilet and back to bed and everybody will like it! It's easy as that! Or even less-you can just pick up one or two words and sing it all the time, or make it even easier-scream it! In that case you don't even need to have a melody-you just pick up at least three chords on a guitar and smash on the drums as hard as you can so nobody will hear the meaning of your screams, which don't have any meaning at all. (I must say i'm not offending anyone here, just stating what you could do. Because from time to time it feels good to listen to screams like that-for a relaxation when you're nervous, angry or whatsoever reason there is. )

What music really is? Is music bird singing, car noise, water streaming, wind blowing, baby crying etc.? No! Why not you ask!? Because music is an act of a person's will-when you do it consciously, on purpouse you could say. Music is a creation, it's what a human being makes it by him/herself. More precisely, music is a timely settled sequence of strengthened or at least quite defined tones.
And when performing music, a true artist will put all his/her feelings and being in it so it will give out a special energy you will feel it and will make you feel great when listening to it-so it's not just about the words and the melody, it's also about performance.

And for the conclusion of my thoughts:
Everybody can be a manufacturer, but not everyone can be a true artist (musician).

People Change: The Translation of The Story

I'm finally posting a translation of my previous blog-The story. Here it is! Enjoy! Hope you like it

There lived a girl who was blind. She hated herself because of it. She hated everbody around her, even her boyfriend who loved her enormously and has always supported her and "stood there" by her side for comfort.
She said to him that she is going to marry him, but only if she could see the world around her only for a moment or so.

One day she got her chance. She got a pair of new eyes from an anonymous donator. She got a chance to see a world around her-even her boyfriend. He asked her: " Now, when you can see-will you marry me?" At a sight of him she got shocked because she saw that he was blind too. She refused his proposal and left him.

He went away in tears and with a sorrow in his heart, sad about what she just did. After a while he sent her a letter that said: "THE ONLY THING I ASK OF YOU IS THAT YOU TAKE GOOD CARE FOR MY EYES."

This story is an example of how can people change when their status is changed. Not loads of people remember what was life before and don't foget of the ones that stood at their side when they were in an unpleasant situations. Our lives change from day to day-one day we're going to school and another we're at work, we move to another place etc.-time flyes by and so do our lives. We should be thankfull for every person that ever got in to our life and fulfiled it. We should never forget them and what they did for us and we should let them know that we think like that, because they can't read our minds!

So now i'm taking chance to thank everybody that ever made me feel good and happy.
Thank you everybody!
Thank you, Lewis

Aria from the Magic Flute-The Queen of the Night

... soon in english ...

Večina arij govori o izgubljeni, nedosegljivi ljubezni, mukah, ki jih trpimo ko ljubimo itd. itd. To bi lahko raztegnila na dolgo in široko, pa ne bom. Upam, da si si ustvaril sliko. Pa ne verjameš? Ha! Če želiš, ti lahko pošljem partiture … So besedila tako pocukrana, da kar ne moreš verjeti, da so lahko tako osladna dokler ne vidiš ta fenomen na svoje oči. Tudi dandanes veliko izvajalcev piše o ljubezni. Ljubezen je bila in bo vedno ostala predmet “razprave” med glasbeniki, literati in med mnogimi drugimi. Je nekaj kar nas povezuje in drži pokonci, brez katere ne moremo “živeti” in ki nas obdaja s svojo toploto. Torej je nekaj kar ne moremo kar tako obiti in ne prejeti vsaj enkrat v življenju. Je največje darilo, ki ga lahko podarimo drugi osebi. Človek bi si mislil, da bi do sedaj ljudem že zmanjkalo besedil, besed in idej o ljubezni-kaj napisati-kakšno pesem. Zaradi svojih lastnosti je ljubezen zatorej v svojem centru ista vsem ljudem a jo vsak nato lahko interpretira na svoj način. Toliko kot je ljudi (vsi smo si različni), toliko je občutij in predstav o ljubezni. Namesto sto ljudi, sto čudi bi lahko rekli: sto ljudi, sto “ljubezni”. Jah, najsi bo besedilo v pesmi še tako osladno (to je še dandanes) so lahko melodije toliko lepše, da nas pritegnejo k poslušanju (ali obratno). Le-ta torej žene skladatelje k tem, da pišejo kar čutijo ko pomislijo na ljubezen. Kakšna se bo zdela ta glasba drugim je čisto odvisno od človeka samega. Nekaterim bo všeč, spet nekaterim ne.


Pa dosti o ljubezni! O tem bi lahko napisala še kakšno besedo ali več … Če se ti utrne kakšna misel o ljubezni, jo lahko pripišeš zraven in dopolniš moj odstavek! Vsaka beseda je dobrodošla, da bi bolje razumeli ta fenomen ;)

Torej … Arija kraljice noči. V glasbenem svetu je toliko lepih in čudovitih del, a ta je eden od tistih, ki me najbolj fascinira. Sicer ne govori o ljubezni, a bolj proti njej. Kraljica noči se razburja nad svojo hčerjo Pamino in jo nagovarja naj ubije za svojo mati zlobnega Sarastra (več si lahko prebereš v kakšni razlagi na internetu, v Groove dictionary.com, v raznih učbenikih, v Sivčevi knjigi Operne zgodbe …). Kar me pri tej ariji facinira je, da Mozart v njej zaobjame kraljičino histerijo, razburjenost skozi mnoge kolorature, velike skoke, ki jih mora pevka peti v visokih legah (priti mora do f3), hitrostjo izvajanja le-teh itd. V glavnem, kdor hoče odpeti to arijo, mora biti kondicijsko (pevsko) zelo dobro pripravljen, imeti zelo dobro tehniko in biti odličen pevec (oziroma pevka!!), ki mora znati vlogo med drugim tudi dobro interpretirati. Pa da se prepričaš o tem da ni lahko in kako prefinjeno znajo nekatere pevke to odpeti, si poglej spodnja dva linka:





Ta izveda pa prikazuje kako lahko pevka izvede arijo "histerično"-tako da z izvedbo zaobjame lik. Ti dve izvedbi sta mi všeč, saj pevki resnično pokažeta pravi karakter kraljice:


Ta posnetek me je pa popolnoma očaral, saj ta mali fant poje arijo, ki jo mnoge pevke ne morejo … Vsaka mu čast! Malo je sicer hecen, ker je oblečen v avstrijsko narodno nošo (naj omenim, da bi se morale pri nas tudi več nositi!!) in poje arijo, ki je drugače namenjena kolaturnim sopranistkam!



Pa še za tiste, ki niste vedeli … Dunajske dečke je ustanovil Slovenec Jurij Sladkonja v 16. stol. na Dunaju. Tako da smo lahko ponosni-Slovenci za mnoge stvari sploh ne “vemo” kaj vse smo imeli, ker so nam ogromno odvzeli ali pa se stvari sploh ne omenjajo. Naj omenim, da je Bethoveen podaril naši filharmoniji prepis njegove 6. simfonije, mi pa smo jo prodali naprej. Ali pa, da je Ljubljanska matica zavrnila F. Schuberta, da bi učil pri nas, ker ni imel dovolj izobrazbe-sedaj pa poglej kako znan je! Ok, bom o tem “filozofirala” raje kdaj drugič …

A story
Translations available in: English (original) | English

The translation comes soon!

*Živela je punca, ki je bila slepa. Zaradi tega se je močno sovražila.
Sovražila je vse okoli sebe, tudi svojega fanta, ki jo je imel
neizmerno rad in jo ljubil, ter ji vedno stal ob strani.

Dejala je, da se bo poročila z njim, vendar le, če bo lahko le za
trenutek videla svet okoli sebe.

Nekega dne je dobila možnost. Dobila je par novih oči nekega
donatorja. Dobila je možnost videti svet okoli sebe. Tudi svojega
fanta. Le ta jo je vprašal: »Sedaj, ko lahko vidiš svet, se boš
poročila z mano?« Ob pogledu na njega je bila šokirana, saj je videla,
da je tudi on slep. Njegovo snubitev je zavrnila in ga zapustila.

Odšel je ves objokan. Čez nekaj časa ji je poslal pismo, v katerem je
pisalo: »ŽELIM LE, DA PAZIŠ NA MOJE OČI«.



To je konkreten primer, kako se ljudje spremenimo, ko se spremeni naš
status. Le redki so tisti, ki se spominjajo, kakšno je bilo življenje
prej, in ne pozabijo na tiste, ki so jim vedno stali ob strani ob še
tako neprijetnih situacijah.*
