Thirty and five

Long time no hear. I've been busy, a lot of things was going on and I really didn't have time for writing a blog. So I'm writing it now. It was a pretty good week even though it's not a Sunday yet. There was a party, I went on a walk with my friends, cooking, cleaning my hamster (of course) etc. I love walking on sunshine. Just like the song says. I mean, who doesn't like walking on sunshine? I also like walking in snow. Not in rain, but snow. But because is already the end of the April, I really hope that there will be no snow. I already put away skis and other winter accessories. It's not convenient to drag them back out. Anyway, now the sun is shining and I'm not gonna worry about tomorrow. Since Easter is coming, I'll worry about easter eggs, ham, horseradish, and sweets. Sweet home Candylama. And if someone wants to join the After Lent party, welcome!

And now I'm gonna dream about ice cream.

#34

I was off for three days. I went on a short trip and it was great. I went to Italy, specifically to see Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre means "five lands" or five villages.
The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia. "The Five Lands" is composed of five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO world Heritage Site.
The Cinque Terre is noted for its beauty. Over centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible "modern" development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach them from the outside. The people are very nice, friendly and want to show you everything. They also want to sell you everything. They have an amazingly good food, especially they're known for their sauce called "Pesto". You definitely have to try it when you're there. Of course you have to try their ice cream too. It has a rich, sophisticated flavor. They surely know how to get more and more tourists. We also had a very beautiful weather, which made this trip even better. I'm thinking about moving there. If you want to buy a mansion, you won't buy it without having to pay at least a million euros. It's not so expensive, right? (read it with the sarcasm) But I must admit it was a nice trip with a nice people and I'd love to do it again. I'll post you some pictures to see what you're missing ;)

Thirty 3


Today I found this good recipe for even better chocolate cake. I recommend you to check it out here:

Death By Chocolate:

Yield: 12 servings.

Ingredients:

8 oz (225 g) dark semisweet chocolate (40-50% cocoa)
2/3 cup (140 g) butter
1 cup (210 g) sugar
4 eggs
4 heaped tablespoons (1 dl) all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ teaspoon baking powder or 1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons sour cream

Ingredients for frosting:

2/3 cup (1.6 dl) heavy cream or whipping cream
9 oz (260 g) semisweet chocolate (40-50% cocoa)


Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F (Gas mark 4 or 180 deg C).
  2. Line a circular 10 inch (25 cm) cake tin (3 inches tall) with grease proof or other non-stick paper and grease the tin. (Please note that the cake will rise to 3 inches and collapse somewhat when cooled. If your cake tin is less than 10 inches wide and 3 inches tall we recommend that you use two cake tins.)
  3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it with butter over hot water.
  4. Beat the eggs with sugar, mix with flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly fold in the melted butter and chocolate and the sour cream.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, approximately 40 to 50 minutes (if using 2 cake tins 20-30 minutes may be sufficient).
  7. Cool the cake completely. When it has obtained room temperature place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before removing the cake from the tin (the cake is sticky and difficult to cut when it is warm!) Remove the crusted surface on the top of the cake, and cut in half, horizontally.

Frosting:

  1. Heat 2/3 cup (1.6 dl) of heavy cream or whipping cream in a sauce pan.
  2. Remove from heat, add 9 oz (260 g) of finely chopped dark semisweet chocolate, stir until smooth, and let it cool until in thickens.
  3. Use one 1/3 of the frosting between the two layers, 1/3 on top, and the rest around the cake. Put the cake into the fridge for one hour or more to harden the frosting.
  4. This cake should have room temperature when served. 


 Since I'll be gone for three days, I hope you'll bake the cake and tell me how it tasted. Thanks for being that nice. And if you spare a piece for me, you would be even nicer.

Enjoy these 3 days and when I'm back, I'll write the next blog.

30 minutes of toothache

Yesterday I felt a little swelling in the gums. In one afternoon my gums swollen and it hurt a little. I went to bed with a tought that tomorrow will be better. I'm am afraid of dentists and I'm sure you don't like them so much either. I thought that next day I'll try to put some compresses on the teeth. Then, in the middle of the night I woke up and my jaw was very swollen. The rest of the night I was thinking if I'm gonna go see a dentist next day or if I'm gonna wait a little. Soon the morning came and I got up to go to a dentist, I didn't want to risk it and get into trouble. So I went to the emergency dentist. I sat on his chair and got a very very big injection of local anesthesia. I had to wait about 15 minutes to got my jaw paralyzed. I sat back and opened my mouth. The dentist wasn't too happy to see that mess but he had no choice than fix it. I was sitting there for 30 minutes for sure and thinking how happy I am because I didn't feel any pain. Thanks to the injection of course. He cleaned my teeth and even that my jaw was still swollen, I felt much better. I went home much more happy, but after few hours the injection has abated. Ouch. It hurts but it's also better than before. Of course I couldn't eat, especially anything what is difficult to chew. Now I'm drinking water and eating some yogurt. And I hope tomorrow will be even better.




Otherwise I could not have the After Lent Party in two weeks.

5 ways to escape your bed in the morning:
1) Because we all know the-monday-out-of-bed-morning feeling, I'll tell you a few ways to escape it. It's awkward when you wake up at 5 a.m. and you try to get up, but your bed keeps pulling you back and threatening you. At first, you try to lay back and pretend that nothing happened.
2) Slowly you try to get up again and reach your slippers. If bed still pulls you back, you have no option than lay back.
3) You move your left and then the right leg. If nothing happens, you try to move your hands. If still nothing happens, you get up piece by piece. If bed starts moving, play dead.
4)I'm sure you have some kind of scissors in your bedside table, so get them out of it and try to cut bed's evil assistant blanket. Then you move forward to your pillow. When you cut it all, in silence of course, because bed can hear you, put the scissors away and crawl out of bed on the floor.
5)When you're sure that bed doesn't follow you, run away as fast as you can, dress up, eat the breakfast and go to work.



Next day, you do it all over again.

Eighnty Twent

I was too busy to write my blog yesterday. We went to our aunt and we had a great time. We were discussing a lot and talking just about every theme. I don't remember when I was up so late because of a discussion. And the weirdest thing was that my aunt made a potato pie at 12 i.e. midnight. Who eats a potato pie in the middle of the night? The rest of the people eat different fast foods, burgers and similar. I must say it was delicious, a bit spicy because my aunt accidently dropped about a ton of pepper into it but ok. So I came home at 2 a.m. and fell directly into bed. Today I woke up, a little tired but rested and waited for my friend, who came visiting with a bike (driving a long distance) and we decided to make pizza. Oh, God, I am so desperate to eat some ice cream, but every time I see it, I remember Lent. Cannot wait for the end of this. I swear I'll have the After Lent party. I'm gonna eat tones of ice cream, sweets, chocolate and my mommy's pies. Be jealous.

27 dresses and salads

I'm sure you watched the movie. Jane Nichols (Katherine Hiegl) has been a bridesmaid for twenty-seven weddings. One night when she is attending two weddings almost simultaneously, she meets Kevin Doyle (James Marsden), who helps her home but disgusts her with his cynical views of marriage. He finds her day planner which she'd forgotten in the cab they shared. Meanwhile, Jane's sister Tess (Malin Akerman) falls in love with Jane's boss George (Edward Burns). Tess pretends to like the same things that George does so that she can get him to like her. Despite loving George herself, Jane does not reveal the truth and the courtship progresses rapidly. Soon the new couple announce that they intend to marry in only three weeks. I won't tell you how it ends, either you know it or you'll find out. Anyway, it's a lovely story. But that wasn't a theme which I wanted to talk about. I wanted to mention what a great weather is it. I just cannot believe that in April can be this hot. It's not normal. Not that I'm complaining about it, but it's unusual. Of course I prefer heat to cold. Just cannot wait for summer. You can eat icecream till you drop dead. Actually, you can eat it right now. Today I ate a very juicy fruit salad made of strawberries, melon, pineapple, grape and apple. It was so delicious and refreshing. I could eat it everyday. When it's hot outside is important to drink a lot and also to eat. Many people have a feeling that they're not hungry because of the heat, but you have to eat to get energy. That doesn't mean you have to eat steaks or something like that, but you can get some yoghurt or salads or fruit or just some grilled chicken. And for dessert you can get some icecream.

Well, outside is a heat so let's eat!

26 and pancakes

I made pancakes today. And I must say, they were good. Usually I don't eat pancakes but today I made such a great mass that I had to try them. Of course I used Nutella for spread. Who doesn't use Nutella? You know the answer. Anyway, making pancakes isn't that hard. You take some eggs, milk, mineral water, flour and if you need it, add some rum. Then you mix all this ingredients together and make pancakes. Easy and simple. And good.

Why are you still reading this blog? Go make pancakes!

Twentyfiveblog

Twenty five is singer George Michael's 2006 greatest hits album. But I'm not gonna write about that. I'm gonna write about animals. Today I was having fun while watching Animal planet and Dogs/Cats/Pets 101. It's a great show. It talks about dogs, cats and pets and other crazy animals. You get information about height, weight, health, care and if they're suitable for families or not. Here you can see many kinds of cats, even the funny ones. I was so laughing when I saw an Exotic shorthair cat. What a look! 


And I bet you didn't know that Birmans have soft voices and are more active than Persians but less active and talkative than Siamese. If you watched this show you would know (yes, that was a rime). And the Pointer dog is excellent family dog, pleasant and easy-going character. It'll be like this with everyone, including visitors. It's funny and instructive. Once you have cats, once dogs and once...pets. Pets are lovely, especially the small ones. But when I saw a capybara today, I couldn't believe my eyes. Who even remembers to get capybara for a pet? It's a lovely animal, but outside, in the wilderness, not at home. I would be scared it would bite me to death while sleeping. I'm sure you know what kind of teeth does it have. Terrible. I'm glad I'm not a capybara, I would be afraid of myself. But some people are clearly not afraid and have these animals at home. In home. Or everywhere. When I thought that there was no more surprises, they showed the next pet: a dwarf donkey. Who'd like to have a donkey under his window and listen his braying? Hello, madhouse! I mean, donkeys are great animals but when they're on TV. So thanks for the Animal planet and TV, otherwise I would have to see donkeys face to face and they would eat me alive. But on the other hand, they're lovely and like people. All animals have positive and negative sides, but so do we. After all, it's nice to have some pet which makes us happy and relaxed.


Now I'm going to buy a camel.

2 to 2

What a sunny day! Spring barely started but feels like summer already. I love sun, heat and this feeling that this sunny moment could last forever. You just lie, close your eyes and wait. Wait for nothing. If you have time, of course. But nowadays we are all so busy with work, school, family, health problems or anything else. We barely sit down just for the sun. Other things are too important and we cannot take a moment to relax because this would be a waste of time. Inspite all of this, we should take some time and drop everything. This is only possible if we get on vacation and I'm sure everyone is waiting on that week or two or maybe a month. Personally, I love going to sea. Sleeping, swimming, sunbathing, not thinking...And if you're lucky, there is no sharks which would bite you to death. They just bite your hand. If that's not luck, then I don't know what it is. We should appreciate this moments. You never know when they move forward to the leg. And if they do, your vacation is ruined. That's a shame, you so worked for it and then you get bitten by a shark. So you must be very careful. If you go on a vacation, you must take your kids with you. Then sharks eat them first and you're safe. You can enjoy the rest of your holidays. If you don't have any kids, buy, addopt, kidnap or borrow them. I'm sure your sister won't even notice if one of them's missing, she has another 9 kids.

Today happened two great things. I went to Ikea and in the store I bought 1,2 kg of sweets which I called it the After Lent Party. I gave up on candies, if you didn't know, so I'll catch up with them after Lent.

Number 20 (breast implants)

Today is a great day. I got the date for my operation and they surprised me because I got it so fast! I've been thinking for a long long time and I decided to get breast implants. It's not an easy decision, especially because I was always against cosmetic surgeries. I think it's not wise to play with the body and our lives. We are not perfect but we were born this way. You cannot choose your body but that doesn't mean you can change it. We shouldn't change everything we see, even if we have such a progressive technology. It's good for helping people but not for exploiting all techniques. Not every procedure is good for us. So of course I've been thinking a lot before I made this decision. You have to make a review of all resources, information and details on the procedure and surgery. You have to know all the consequences that implants and surgery may leave. It's not easy when you find out that some women also died because the implants purulent. On the other hand, you can die from a lot of different things. Accidents, shooting, diseases...there is still a lot of risk. And you don't even know when. So after careful consideration I decided to take this step. I just cannot wait to see the results and I hope they'll do their work good. I'm sure I'll look awesome. I mean, my breasts. After all, you don't get an oportunity like this every day. Keep your fingers crossed!










P.s.: check your calendar.

ナインティーンの日本語

Everywhere I looked today, I saw japanese food. On TV was a cooking show where they were showing different japanese recipes and they all seemed delicious. I'm not such a sushi fan and I prefer Chinese, but I must admit it looked wonderful and tasty. Especially I love vegetable and Asian people use it a lot and know how to prepare it perfectly. Yummy. I could eat it every day. And I'm sure my hamster would agree. He also likes japanese food, but he doesn't know it yet. It's better that way, otherwise he would be a fat ass. Cute, but fat ass. He already eats a lot, not to mention that he's obsessed with dry keels. Of course after eating he gets crazy and drives his wheel as Lance Armstrong. And he drives it for whole night. Today I let my hamster in a bathtub. He was happy and running all around. He was trying to get out, but there was a lot of slope and could not go anywhere. It was funny watching him, then I let him back in a plastic ball. Just when I thought he fall asleep, he started driving this ball so I just let him there. I cleaned his cage and when I looked at him again, he WAS sleeping. Hamsters are sleeping for whole day and when the night come, they'd still like to sleep? Wrong answer, so I grabbed the ball and put him back in the cage. He woke up and started sniffing his little wood house, wheel and sand bath. Like it would sniff it for the first time and everything was new. Few minutes later he was freaking out around in his cage, climbing on a roof of his house and crawling in the tunnel.
He was back to normal, so I just sneaked out of my room and went downstairs.


Bad chips, good pilates.

18, but not again

Today I've been working pilates and I must admit it felt good and you certainly stretch your body. Especially if you're tired and everything hurts you. And if you're lazy, you definitely don't want to work out, but if you want to get in shape, loose your weight or just having fun, you have to do something. It's not easy, especially if you really want to exercise. It takes 50 minutes and if you're not a pro or you're not in shape, that's a lot. But once you decide to change your life, your body or your habits, you're prepared to work out every day. You get used to all exercises and your body get used to the pressure. Muscles are strengthened and body shape gets nicer. I don't have to mention that you also feel very good and get some energy. Well, today was interesting. While working out, Mary Winsor said: "hello legs!" but I already said goodbye to them. When I rested a little bit, I said hello to them again. That's a luck, I thought I lost them. And you cannot walk around without legs, don't you think so? I was convinced that pilates (Winsor) is really hard but then I dicovered zumba. They're freaks, you know! There is 60 minutes representation of every dance and when you try it, you stay without a breath. Amazing. And if you thought it's over, you were soooo wrong. There's a 20 minutes fitness compilation too. So if you wanna die, you must definitely try this fitness. After a few exercises you're breathless, but filled with energy.  
I'm gonna work out every day even though you have to catch your breath. It's funny, useful and good for you and your body.
So keep moving!

17 again?

I'm sure you know the movie 17 again. It is the story of 36-year-old Mike (Matthew Perry) who becomes 17-year-old high school student (Zac Efron) after a chance accident.
In 1989, 17 year-old Mike O'Donnell learns from his girlfriend Scarlett that she is pregnant during the final quarter of his high school-championship basketball game. However, just moments before scoring the winning basket, Mike abandons the game, and a possible college basketball scholarship, to chase Scarlett down the hall and propose to her. Twenty years later, Mike finds his life stalled. Scarlett has separated from him due to his regrets about abandoning college, forcing him to move in with his geeky and wealthy best friend since high school, Ned Gold; he quits his job and his high school-age children Maggie and Alex want nothing to do with him. Later, while visiting his high School to reminisce, an encounter with a mysterious janitor transforms Mike into his 17 year-old self. Given the chance to re-live his youth, Mike enrolls in high school posing as Mark Gold, Ned's son, and plans to go to college with a basketball scholarship. Mike comforts Maggie when her boyfriend Stan, the captain of the basketball team, dumps her. With his help, Alex overcomes Stan's bullying to obtain a place with Mike on the basketball team and the girlfriend he desires. He finds out that his mission is to help his children and make up for lost time. In the end, he also finds out that Scajrlett was the best choice and he is transformed back into his 37 year-old self.
This story is funny but also very instructive. It shows how important is to support your children and wife, the whole family, before is too late. Don't know what else to say, just watch the movie.

Sixteenth in the series

Don't worry, I'm not gonna write about serial killers, if that was your first tought when you saw the word "series". I'm aware it's not quite the same word as serial, but has the same root. So, I just found out that I haven't been chosen for that commercial, but I had a really great time and I don't regret anything. But let's not focus on negative things. It's just a waste of time and also as T-Bag alias Cole Pfeiffer once said in PB: you fall into "captivity of negativity". And why the bad things if we could have such a great day. Every day I see people walking by, everyone minds his own business, they're all staring at the floor. I understand that we all have problems, but we also should find some beautiful, lovely, postitive moments, things or whatsoever. I don't like depression and hope you don't like it too. 
For all day I'm listening to Noisettes-Never forget you. I just cannot forget this song. Although it's not a cheerful song, it still talks about friendship and love and the singer believes that nobody cannot tell her what to do and as the lyrics say: 
  I'll never forget you
  They said we'd never make it..
nobody can predict the future, especially yours. And definitely nobody should tell you what to believe and stand for.

And now I'm gonna eat some pepper.

F I F T E E N

I'm not sure what to write under this title. Do you have any idea? I was thinking a lot, but I didn't find any appropriate theme, so I'm gonna write about...nothing. Nothing is actually a very interesting theme. Who does today even write about nothing? Nobody. And as you can see, there is a lot of word with a prefix -no. Nobody, nothing, noone. But let's focus on nothing. I can tell you a lot about nothing. It's a word, consisting of 7 letters, and describes something that not exists, is not there, is no thing. Even if I'm thinking about every definition, I'm coming up with nothing. So anywhere you go, anything you do and think, you cannot avoid nothingness. It's such a nice word, why would we even avoid it? With no doubt I would love to tell you more about nothing,




but there's nothing left to say.

Age of 14

Years ago, when I was 14, it was a lot different than today. When I was 14, we didn't know the real meaning of the word "relationship". Now, they do. Now every teenager knows everything about relationships, love, life and so on. They're practicly smarter than we are. I remember when we were teasing each other, mostly for fun and fooling around. We respected our teachers, no one was rude, we'd never been interrupting them while teaching, but still I have to admit that sometimes we were laughing just for nothing. And THAT was disturbing. But now every teenager can say whatever he wants, he can insult the teacher and no one will do anything. He can interfere in teaching whenever he wants, causes damage, fights around, but teacher can do nothing. Because he/she is not allowed to. Even raising a voice above the pupil is considered as violation. And what can you do? Nothing, because that's the system and you can't fight against it. And if you say something, it's your fault and the pupils are innocent. So I'm not surprised why these teenagers act like they act. Rules are only for the teachers, so teenagers don't have limits. Or so it seems. When I was 14 I also didn't know much about kissing. Now? Go see around the corner. I won't tell what's there, you'll see it by yourself. Everyone is growing so fast that it scares me. Everything moves so quickly. And you can do nothing to stop it or at least slow it down. That's progress. I wonder if our ancestors, monkeys, had known what they'll turn into....

Lucky 13

This blog would seem filled with informations, but have you ever asked yourself, why the big fear of this number?
There's a lot of things connected to number 13. We know the movie Friday the 13th, Ocean's 13, but the most is associated with unpleasant and unfortunate events. As it is associated with bad luck, many people suffer from Triskaidekaphobia, a word which was coined in 1911. People, who suffer from Triskaidekaphobia are afraid of the number 13. One theory as to why the date and number 13 is considered unlucky is that, on the day of Friday after the final Crusade the pope had sent out men to capture and burn alive the last 13 Knights Templar in order to put an end to the Crusades. I'm not superstitious and I'm not afraid of this number, I think it can't hurt me. As it is such a bad number, I also don't believe that it ever followed me and I hope it never will, I don't feel comfortable if someone or something follows me. Would you? And you won't believe it, but there is a lucky number 13 too. In Sikhism, the number 13 is considered a special number since 13 is tera in Punjabi, which also means "yours" (as in, "I am yours, O Lord"). The legend goes that when Guru Nanak Dev was taking stock of items as part of his employment with a village merchant, he counted from 1 to 13 (in Punjabi) as one does normally; and thereafter he would just repeat "tera", since all items were God's creation. Colgate University also considers 13 to be a lucky number. They were founded in 1819 by 13 men with 13 dollars, 13 prayers and 13 articles. The pyramids are also set up in 9 steps divided into 7 days and 6 nights, 13 days total. So, the number 13 isn't that bad at all. If we didn't have that number, we wouldn't think of it bad. But neither would we think of it good.

Cheaper by the Dozen

I'm not feeling good today. It's not my day at all. So I've decided to make pizza. A very good one. Well, there were actually 5 of them, because there were 5 people. I made a whole-wheat dough, put tomato sauce, ham, pepper, cheese and eggs and put it in the oven. Can't believe it, how wonderful it smelled. Then I cut it on 8 pieces and started enjoying it. Mmmmm..like heaven. Although I've never been there, I think it was pretty similar. Or at least I hope we get some home made pizza in heaven. Otherwise I won't go there. Would you go somewhere, where doesn't make your wishes come true? I don't think so. Maybe you do, but I don't. I cannot survive without pizza, underwear and my mobile phone. It sounds funny, but you should try to live without that. So, now I'm eating pizza and writing this blog. How cool is that? (I think you know the answer.) Today was so busy, that I skipped pilates, bad bad bad bad chocolate and other sweets. Especially because I gave up on them for this Lent. Please do not tease me with any sweets, because I won't take them, but I sure will beat you. Now when we cleared up things, we can move forward.
When I was walking down the street, I saw that strange cat crossed my path. Fortunately it wasn't the black one because I had no money with me. What a luck! Otherwise I'd be miserable and poor for whole my life. Or something. That was really the bright side of the day. There is so many black cats and get the beige one...If that's not luck, then I don't know what it is. I'm sure you'll agree, because you're not that lucky. I know. People like me are born only on 500 years so I'm sorry. That's life..you know it. So I'm leaving you with a little hope, that tomorrow you'll not run into a black cat. But if you do, be sure you have money with you.

11=9+2; 8+3; 7+4; 6+5...

Today's news, but unfortunately not the good one is, that Elizabeth Tayler passed away. She was 79 years old, married for 8 times (impressive) and she was well know as Cleopatra. I don't know very much of her, but it's appropriate to say for her to rest in peace. I'm sure we'll keep a beautiful memory of her.


The other thing is, that yesterday I watched The Rite. It's about exorcism. Michael Kovak, disillusioned with his father, a mortuary owner, decides to enter a seminary school and abdicate his vows upon completion, thereby getting him a free college degree. Four years pass and Michael is being ordained to the diaconate at the seminary. However, after ordination he writes a letter of resignation to his superior, Father Matthew, citing a lack of faith.
While Father Matthew is attempting to catch Michael, he trips, causing a biker to swerve into the path of an oncoming car. The young woman, believing Michael to be a priest after seeing his clerical garb, asks him for absolution. Unable to refuse, Michael comforts her and performs the ritual absolving her sins. Seeing how calmly he handled the situation, Father Superior tells Michael he is called to be a priest, whether Michael believes this or not; he later approaches Michael with an invitation to travel to Rome in order to attend a class on exorcism. Father Xavier later asks Michael to see a friend of his, Father Lucas, who is a renowned exorcist. Michael agrees and meets Father Lucas at his home, where he sees one of the priest's patients: a pregnant sixteen-year-old girl. It is later revealed that she was raped by her father, which led to her possession. However, Michael remains skeptical, even after witnessing several preternatural events, such as the girl coughing up three long nails and fluently speaking English. During the movie, you can see how Michael is faced with exoricsm. It's interesting. I'm a religious person, but I don't know what to do if I saw a person obsessed with the devil. I also think that until you see that, you don't believe it. I'm just glad I've never seen that and hope I never will. And also, I hope I will never get obsessed. I just simply don't have time for this.

I woke up and ate cereals. Again. And because it's Tuesday, they were better than yesterday. Of course. Anyway, I woke up in a beautiful sunny morning. It is also the first day of spring. It was about time. Outside was a lot of people enjoying the sun. And who doesn't? Unless you're some kind of an addict to the snow, I think everyone likes sunny and warm days. You don't have to wear so many clothes, so many layers. You can leave your scarf, cap, gloves, winter jacket, wool sweater, long underpants, tights, and snow boots at home. And the spare socks from your backpack. You are a few pounds lighter. How great is that? (The answer is: very.) I'm just happy that I'm not some kind of animal, otherwise I'd be freezing in the winter, as you know they don't have clothes or something weird like that. Dogs have fur, birds have feathers and reptiles scales, but none of them has clothes. That's kinda good thing, otherwise we'd really spend more money on them than on us. (Some people actually already do that.) On the other hand, my hamster would look fantastic in some Dior dress. Imagine a Dior dress on your pet. Don't you think it would look amazing? Especially because there's not many people who could afford a Dior dress, so your animal would be kinda unique. You could take it to some prestigious pet party and show of. What a lovely idea. My pet and yours could be friends and hang out and so on. Oh my God, this is a fantastic idea. But until they don't make some pet dresses, I can only dream. Dreaming is also good, but only if they're nice dreams. So, think about it, you never know what might happen.
That would be all for today.




P.S.: The last 7 lines were written in sarcasm. (If you don't speak it, don't even read.)

Up on cloud number NINE

Today was a greeeeeeeaaaat day! Really great! I was on audition for a commercial and it was so funny, the team was fantastic Hope I get lucky. It would be so cool, I have such a potencial, I'm funny, pretty, smart and not snooty at all (that was sarcasm, if this read people who doesn't speak sarcasm fluently). Anyway, we had a great breakfast and even better atmosphere. Even if I don't get chosen, I had fun and that's all it counts.
I have another bright side of this day. That's Prison Break (ofcourse). I just found out, that even if I was dead, this wouldn't be worse than Michael's problems. I admire him. He has to save others problems first, than the world and in the end, he can finally save himself. What other person could do that? The answer is: there is no other person. Don't you agree? If you don't, you should try it yourself. (I'm kidding, you don't have to kill me). Otherwise you'll get into a Fox River. And Michael is no longer there to get you out. Neither is Dominic, Sucre, Bellick and so on. But you might find T-Bag. Unfortunately, he cannot get you out, he can only kill you. Anyway, if I don't watch at least one episode per day, I go nuts. So, please, don't take this away from me, unless you want me to get crazy.

Now I'm going out. It's such a beautiful SUNday.

Six

Today is a green day. Yes, very green. Today is St.Patrick's day. He's the most commonly recognized of patron saints of Ireland. Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early 17th century, and has gradually become a celebration of Irish culture in general. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora, especially in places such as the Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, among others. So, officialy it comes from Ireland, but we can celebrate it almost everywhere? That's great. Let's go get some beer. Or should I say beers? Anyway, I was thinking to dye my hair with green colour, but I'm afraid that my hamster wouldn't recognize me. So, no. But I must admit, it's funny listening to people wishing a happy St. Patrick's day. Everyone toasts with whiskey and beer, wearing green clothes and hats with shamrocks. Shamrocks also bring people luck.

But today is also a lot of talk about Japan. I've heard people say that they'd rather give their money for Japan than beer. I think that's admirable, so many people are trying to help them, celebrities create foundations, every campaign is welcome. Unfortunately, one side of the world celebrates and the other side suffers. I hope that the other side will get better soon, especially because I've heard that 50 people will die to save Japan. They are already contaminated, because they are stuck in a nuclear power plant. That's really sad. I feel sorry for them, but I'm quietly happy, that we don't have such severe earthquakes. I don't doubt that with all these donations, keeping fingers crossed and the strength and spirit of Japanese people, their country will recover. And as long we're prepared to help them, the sooner they'll get better.

Today's blog is short, but concise. Let's just think about that.

P.s.: if anyone wants to donate any money, you're welcome:

5 facts about me

Today's a good day. My hair is ok, I didn't get up early and it is better weather than on Monday. Even the cereals were good. So, because today is such a good day, I decided to tell you a little more about me.
The first truth is, that looove blue colour. Anytime somebody asks me why, I don't have a specific answer. I love it for many reasons. I love sea and swimming and summer, when colours are so bright, and the blue colour in particular stands out. When I stand at the pier and watch the turquoise sea, which glistens in the sun, all I can think of, is that I could stay in this moment for ever. Therefore, 90% of my stuff are blue. I feel good wearing my blue clothes and shoes. I even have a blue toothbrush. How cool is that? (The answer is: very) So, if you see someone blue walking down the street, it's me and not an alien.
The second truth is about my pet. I have a hamster. He is a Russian dwarf hamster. He has a beautiful cage, and even more wonderful plastic wheel. He's nickname is Lance (Armstrong), because he just can't get tired of running that wheel. And so I'm listening to it for the whole night. Once you get used to it it's ok, but till then...you're toasted. But I have fun watching him running around in his cage or other plastic box. Luckily I don't have a cat, I really don't know how would I put it in that small cage.


We have come to the third truth. This is actually a very funny story. When I was back to high school, the strangest and the most ridiculous thing happened. It was Advent. And our class've decided to decorate our walls. We got great ideas to decorate walls with hearts of all shapes and colors. Soon all the walls were decorated except the sink wall. So I've decided to climb on the closet to affix the last heart. I bravely pushed myself away from the table and suddenly I hit the sink. We both fell to the floor, sink and me. The hose from the sink cracked and water started spraying everywhere. My class began laughing, I was in shock and our teacher was changing colours on the face. Hilarious as it sounds, it really wasn't, because I had to go to our principal. Fortunately, he wasn't angry and the only punishment I got was helping the janitor to fix the sink. And at the end of the day, that little heart didn't go on the sink wall, but to our principal with my promise, not to do that again.
The fourth but not the last truth is, that I can do the best home made pizza. If you don't believe it, you should try it. I love cooking. I love baking. I can make excellant muffins and even better lazagna. But my pizza is the best. I love whole-wheat dough and pizza has a better taste with that dough. Then I put on tomato sauce, ham, tomatos, olives, mozzarela cheese or any cheese. Oh my God, it smells so good, that I just cannot wait to eat it. I think I'll make pizzas for the rest of my life. Even in the nursing home. Whoever wants to order it, here's my number: 0000.. (little joke doesn't harm anyone).
And the last, fifth truth is that I love movies and music and playing piano. It just make me happy playing and composing different songs (even famous). I like playing The Scrypt, Journey, Mika, Melee, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers and so on. Of course I like a lot more musicians, but these are perfect for the piano. Playing relax me. And also watching movies. My favourite actor is Tom Hanks. I just cannot get enough of him and his movies. Forrest Gump, Cast away, The Terminal, You've got mail etc. are just a few of them. Who doesn't love him? Few days ago I saw his video at Jimmy Kimmel's show and I thought I'd die of laughing. Recommended: . Can't wait to see his new movie. And if you know for any other movie him acting, let me know. I'd be glad.
But now is time to end this blog for today. I told you a few important or at least funny details about me, but if I tell you anything more, I'll have to kill you. 
Peace.








P.s.: like I said before- a little joke doesn't harm anyone.

Number 4

Four is the smallest composite number its proper divisors bein 1 and 2. The prime factorization of four is two times two. We also know many movies with this number. Fantastic four, I am number 4, Scary movie 4 etc. 4 have four letters in the word four. We have 4% discount, 4 kids in the family, 4 columns of chocolate, 4 candles on Advent wreath and many things that include number 4. And it's been 4 days since the earthquake shook Japan. And it's still not over. It is still shaking. In fact, Japan was shocked so much that the Earth's axis shifted. Or so it was written in today's news. I hope that at least the earthquake passed. Actually, today I read a lot of interesting and silly news. For example, Amber Rose is getting thick and thick. Who cares about this? I mean, there are many catastrophes in the world, and we are talking about weight? There are so many dead people over the world every day. Nobody does nothing. I don't say that we have to read only about bad news. Of course we have to read funny articles, otherwise we'd be depressed. Funny as it sounds, but it's true. And not just this news, more and more news are written just because they have to be written, nobody cares about the content. I found out that many journalists do not proofread their articles. Sadly, but true. Maybe that's just my opinion. 
But I have some good news too. Or at least they're good for you. Or funny. I have made a mistake. For this year's Lent, I decided to give up sweets. And today ate chocolate. I couldn't resist it. I was literally tied hands that would not gone after chocolate, but I failed. I guess it was just a strange day. Therefore, I'm sweating like crazy now and doing every kind of exercises to burn this chocolate. I feel sorry for it (the chocolate), but it was its fault, she shouldn't have to tease me. Bad chocolate. So I've decided that from now on, she's my enemy.
Till the end of Lent, of course.

P.S: today's cereals were better.

The Third Apple

At first, I'm sure you'll find out why the title is called the Third Apple. Next thing I wanted to say is, that today is Monday. And it's not the manic one. Thank God. I wouldn't feel good if Abba chose exactly this Monday for their song. I know that a lot of people doesn't like Mondays. Usually, people don't like it because it's the beginning of the new week, it's the whole week ahead, you had such a nice weekend and now you have to work (so lame, I know) and nobody likes you on Mondays and it's raining and it's early, your hair is a mess (always on Monday) and you'd rather sleep than work or go to school and it really sucks. I know, 1001 good/bad reason not to like Mondays. But on the other hand, if there was no Monday, we would complain about Tuesday. Then Tuesday would suck and nobody would like us on Tuesday and it would be raining and so on and so on. And your hair would be a mess. Of course. And also, if there was no Tuesday, it would be Wednesday (the beginning of the new week). So, it's definitely better to have Mondays and have your hair a mess on Mondays. Monday is an excuse to have problems. Thanks for that day. 
For me, today wasn't a bad Monday. I woke up with good hair, not early, and I think somebody actually liked me. But I have to admit, it was raining and I had to work. Anyway, it wasn't that bad at all. For breakfast I ate cereals and it was a pretty good Monday meal. So I agree, that we need a Monday. Cereals definitely taste different on Tuesday. But if they have a better taste, I'll tell you tomorrow.
And just one notice: if you didn't figure it out why is the Third Apple, let me tell you that title of this blog has nothing to do with apples or other fruit or food, but I felt it was good to written just like that. (:
