We Went Shopping Or Hunting?

Originally I wanted to post something yesterday but because of some strange reason my internet connection went off and I wasn't able to do anything at all. Honestly, I didn't have many things to say/write. Today was much more better day for new experiences.

First of all - the heats are going to stop for some days but today was pretty hot day - 35° they said, in some places even over 37°. The best day to stay at home or go swimming, eh? If you think that I spent whole day doing this you're TERRIBLY wrong. I spent whole day hanging out in town. Walking. Yep! Now, read why and what everything has happened:

We were given with Niky to go to the Carrefour to check it there if we could find some nice flip-flops. We both wear normal shoes - trainers - and it's not really good and healthy in this weather. We had thought that it will be easy. You know, they have almost everything in Carrefour. There are lots of various boutiques and shops with shoes or with clothes and we just thought that we would find something very quickly because one of my mom's colleagues told her about some good shop and really good prices. Well, we found this shop but flip-flops were nowhere. So, we went through all shops where they could possibly have what we want. No success at all! It's a superhuman achievement if you want to find simple flip-flops of neutral color with no flowers or even butterflies applications on it.

Afterwards we went to the city. Trust me if I tell you that we were in EVERY shop with shoes in Hradec, or in its center. Everywhere. And again we didn't find anything. Only pink, green, blue or even more coloured flip-flops or really nice black flip-flops but not in our size. Unbelievable. It seemed that all people in Hradec have same size of shoes. We were really tired because we spent 4,5 hours on our own feet walking in incredibly hot weather. Nuts, eh? In the end of our unsuccessful tour we decided to go back to Carrefour and buy first thing what we'll see. We were crossing the Big Square when I started to convince Niky to go to the DEFECT (skateshop) and then, if there's nothing there we will go straight to Carrefour. Ok, I wasn't convincing her a lot, I just said that we are going there if she wants or not. Thanks God we went there. We both FINALLY found flip-flops which we both really like - color, shape, even the string which you put between the tumb and forefinger was made of matter not of rubber. We found the flip-flops of wour dreams. After 5 hours walking like some idiots in whole city. I almost can't feel my feet because they burning like the hell.

The funniest thing about this whole flip-flops hunting thing is that we both, Niky and me, really HATE shopping. We both hate Carrefour because this shop pisses us off a lot. We're really crazy, I guess. But we have our niiice flip-flops. (Thanks God)

So, this was our madly spent day. I'm really exhausted without any sense in my feet but happy to have what I want.

The Movie Paradise

Woot, woot! (I love this even though I don't know where I took it from) It's time for improving my English and to tell the rest of the Earth or those who read this blog how boring my life actually is these days. Nevertheless I have plenty of time to watch movies, to read, to sleep and to spend almost whole day in the pool. No talking about the sun. I'm starting to feel like a toast. I don't know if I repeat myself 'cause two blogs - czech one and english one - are a bit hard to write and not to repeat yourself. Though, I'm in the seventh heaven when I write something so it doesn't bother me much anyways. As I wrote few lines above I'm watching movies. Many movies. Here is list of the movies I've downloaded and I've seen in two past days:

1. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

- actually I didn't download it, it did my brother few weeks ago but he didn't tell me a word about having it. It's one of those movies you hear about everywhere around you, you want to see it but in few moments/days/weeks you completely forget about it. I was accidentaly browsing through Jessica's profile and I've seen it there many times before in her movie list to be honest but I never managed to get it somewhere. This time I immediately downloaded it and watched it. Awsome movie, indeed, as I wrote in one of previous posts. btw: did you know that Milos Forman is a CZECH director? :P

2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

- when I heard about this movie for the first time I was like: "Hey, Jim Carrey is playing in it? GREAT! Serious role? Come one guys, give me a break, he can't play serious roles." Ok, I admit it, I was terribly wrong. He was such as good as in the comedies he had been in before. And he even looks really handsome in this movie - and it's not obvious in his case. (sorry Jimmy :X) I really like the point of this movie - you can't erase someone's presence from your memories. It can't be done even though you would give a whole world to do it. Every person you meet immediately becomes the part of your life - smaller one or bigger, it doesn't matter. And even if you have bad memories or experiences with someone there are always those good things which you had lived through together.

3. The Godfather part I (1972)
- since my childhood I'm in love with gangster movies, retro America in the times of prohibition, italian mafian's gangs and things like that. It was just the matter of time when I get to the book The Godfather and than to the movie. I read the book few months ago and I was so delighted by it that I gave a task to myself to get the movie, the best option - all three movies from The Godfather trilogy. I've got the first one, two more to go. The movie is almost exact copy of Mario Puzo's book and I can't wait to watch the other two movies. By the way, I didn't get good czech subtitles for it so I had to watch it without them! It was terrible because some of guys' speeches didn't have anything in common with any English dialect I've ever met nor with English, I guess.

4. Memento (2000)
- another movie I've always wanted to see. Here in CR exists one book written by Radek John called Memento, too. I've always though that it contains the same story but, well, obviously it does not just for the reason that in movie there's a man who has no short-term memory and he's searching for the killer of his wife and book is about drug addict and his screwed up life. Diametrical difference, eh? I wouldn't write much about this movie because you just have to see it. The style how it's been filmed is exactly what I like - the first event in the story is uncovered in the end of the movie with very shocking discovery. Go and see it.

5. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005)

- I should tell you the first - I'm really big one of Tim Burton's movies and his art. I guess I've seen majority of those famous block busters such as Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Batman Returns, Batman, Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow and now Corpse Bride. His movies are maybe freaky, dark, perverse and definitely not for kids but I love his graphic and art figuration of scenes and charachters in his movies. I mean their costumes, the scenery and stuff like that. To be honest Corpse Bride is the most perverse movie which I've seen and which was made by him. Even Beetlejuice was a bit normal.

I guess these are all the movies I've seen recently. I'm searching for more to watch but I have no idea what I should go for. Any ideas?

Fuck It!

I've got some weird version of Silent Hill, I guess. There's a scene when Rose is searching for her little girl in the town. Suddenly some small girl is crossing the street and she runs somewhere. Rose folows her and she comes to the strairs which leads somewhere down. Fire sirens start to warn and Rose is going down on the stairs. Now, in this very moment everything starts to become black and then there is another scene when Rose has no coat (she had it before in the town), she has handcuffs and apparently she is in some old school. Am I really weird or there's something missing?

Nevermind, I'm going to read The Manticore, now. Only around 60 pages and I will get to World of Wonders.

Everyone Is Crazy In Some Sense

Aother hot day is over. I really don't know how much longer I'll be able to bear this horrible weather. I like sun but not if it's shining like crazy. Around 25° C that's ok for me but not temperature which reaches 35° sometimes I guess even more! I'm glad we have a pool on the garden even though it's a bit dirty now. Nevermind, water is water and that's it! Everytime I feel really hot I just go there, spend few minutes in it and then I go sunbathing. I'm catching some bronze color. It's enough to spend around 15 minutes on the straight sun and I'm almost red. I'll be looking like if I was in some southern country at the sea so no one will be able to tell me that I'm too white. :P

Vilda is going to visit me tomorrow and I guess we'll spend whole day in the pool. He was in Spain for almost one whole month with Tomas so I guess he tell me about everything what was going on there. I guess his favourite topic will be spanish girls as it's normal in his case. But could it be different? It's sometimes fun to hear from your friends their views on different girls. So it must be fun for guys to hear girls' opinions on guys.

Today I watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. It's sooo amazing movie that when I think about it now I'm still having creeps all over my body. I've always known that Jack Nicholson is one of the best actors ever but what he has done in this movie is simply amazing. I would believe him that he is really crazy. Other guys in the movie played their roles very very well! I think that is really hard to play crazy man if you're not crazy at all. I remember the movie Rain Man (1988) with Dustin Hoffman (and Tom Cruise - boo :X ). Dustin Hoffman - again, great actor - is playing a guy with Autism. You all should go and see this movie. I really like it even though Tom Cruise plays in it! So, before the movie had been filmed, Dustin spent few months in the madhouse with all Autistic people just to study their behaviour and to act naturally in Rain Man. Ubelievable, eh?

It seems that it's going to rain after all! Thanks God :) Now, I'm going for SURE to watch Silent Hill. I don't know why am I so scared to watch it?! I've always loved horrors but now I'm really afraid to watch it. Nevermind. I have to be brave!

Curios Tour Through the Prague

So, it's Saturday evening and I have clear picture of what am I going to do tonight - be with my brother, parents and my uncle from Prague (yeah that one) and have a bbq on our garden. Not so bad, eh? Well, I've just annoyed my mother because she wanted something from me and I told her that I'm just doing something on my computer so she started to yell at me that I don't do anything at all just sit at my computer and "doing something" when is holidays. I hate her hysterical scenes like was this one.

Well, I have few photos from the trip in Prague with my brother and father so check them out. All of them had been made by my brother and even though he's really really good photographer some of these photos are a bit askew. Nevermind, essential part - the different buildings of Prague are there anyway. So, enjoy small tour through the Prague in beautiful sunny weather:

The amazing astronomical clocks on the Old Town square. Every hour people - tourists - gather under it to see small performance of the puppets of apostles which are inside of this whole construction. I don't know if there in Europe exist any more astronomical clocks like these ones but without any doubts this is the most amazing thing from whole Prague! Oh, one thing I forgot to tell you. The man who developed and built these astronomical clocks was blinded by the king (I'm not sure if it was king) because he wanted to have only one copy of the astronomical clocks in HIS city/state. Some people are really weird, eh?

In my opinion the most beautiful building you can see in Prague - czech National Theatre on Narodni (National) avenue. This theatre had to be built twice because first construction burned up in 18th century. The curiosity about the construction of the "second" building is that czech people from whole country even those who were really poor gathered money to re-build the theatre. So, it was built by poor people for whole nation.

Really nice view of the Prague castle and Cathedral of St. Vit.

Me on Kampa near the Charles' Bridge. We were waiting there for our boat to have a look around the shores of Vltava. Meanwhile I've found these markers of the high of water during the floods in different years. The highest one is from the year 2002 when Czech Republic experienced really really bad floods. The underground in Prague was in some stations closed because there was water, Kampa was completely under water, cafés, restaurants on the shores were all gone. Water was just EVERYWHERE! People say that it wasn't cent-year's flood, it was 500-year's flood minimally. ( I'm 1,67m tall for comparing )

Charle's Bridge from Kampa. It's another place you have to see from the closer view. It worths it! It was built before amost 600 years and it's still in quite good condition. There are I guess 16 statues of different saints and famous czech people. Some of these statues had to be restored but they are still there, or their copies. Again, this monument was built thanks to the czech nation and also thanks to our best king ever Charles IV. We learn in history lessons that for the construction of the bridge the raw eggs were put into the mortar. Different villages and town from whole czech state were sending them to the Prague and one village even sent boiled eggs!! :D

This is not the boat we were in but you can booked these small boats with a guide and he/she will tell you everything you want to know about Prague.

The tram which are many in Prague and also in some other cities of Czech Republic. One friend of mine is working with these trams I think with electronics and with stuff like that. Once he had a small talk with me and my friends about the serious accidents which trams can cause and which they caused in the past. He also warned me to NEVER try to run between two waggons of tram. It's really gross story so I'm warning you:

• There was a couple - boy and girl - who were trying to catch the tram. So, the boy went first and he run between two waggons. That girl was following him but the tram had started to move and the girl running between the waggons suddenly disappeared. The boy immediately called dispatching and tell them that his girlfriend had run between the waggons and that she disappeared. The driver of this tram stopped and he went out to look on the waggons if the girl is there or not. She was absolutely nowhere! So, people started the searching party if they find her somewhere else, alive. The tram went back to depo in Hostivar which is about 30 minutes from the station where the girl disappeared. Everything was okay until the tram started to back and (the gross part) the parts of girl's body started to fall down from the undercart of the tram...

So guys NEVER try to run between two waggons of tram or train. It could cost you your life!

Kampa. One of the picturesque parts of Prague. As I was told it's also place of Mission Impossible I intro scene. I haven't seen it so I can't tell you more about it but it's that place. :)

Sorry that I don't have any photos of more parts of town but I think these are those which worth to visit! Prague is really beautiful city but I wouldn't live there. It's too overcrowded by tourists in center and peripheries of city aren't very nice places to live.

Oh, I made today my czech blog on blogger.com (see my profile, it's there). Actually, I've just moved my old design to the blogger's blog - it was work for whole day!! - and from now I will write here my czech blog. I know that most of you don't understand any czech word but if you are interested in me or in czech language, go and check it out :)

It's Not Easy To Fall In Love

I've just returned back from the pub where I was with my friend Martin and my mom. Yep, I was in pub drinking beer with my mom! She's the best mom you could have, trust me, the best one! And not even for this beer support. She's just amazing person. To be honest, we've become more friends than it could be in mother and daughter relationship. It's truth that she sometimes getting on my nerves a lot but there are much more brigther days when we are together chatting and doing stuff like friends. For exemple the day before yesterday we were on bikes just to take a short ride around Hradec and we ended our tour in the pub. Yesterday we were on mojito in one café near our house. We needed it terribly lot because of really really hot weather. One glass with mint, limes and ice! Um, how good it sounds, eh? And today we were in the pub on some beers - actually my mom defeated me, she had one more beer than I had. :P And we even met Kosta there. He was there with some of his friends. I almost didn't recognize him because he's got shorter hair.

Back to my mom - I really don't get the point of the problems she's dealing with, I mean my father. I can't completely understand why my father is acting like an asshole to her - she's person you have to love all the time. Today she showed her bright side again. Martin's mom needs to get some better job than she's having now so my mother offered him that she will ask in hospital if there's some place for her. She doesn't even know her and she's doing this! Could I have better mom than is mine?! If yes, show me that woman!

We had really great time tonight. Though I'm feeling kinda depressed. Not because of my mom nor because of our family, it's just because of me and my relationships with boys. I'm seriously asking myself what's so wrong with me that I can't find no one who would like or even love me. I've met so many boys in my life who I liked or I thought I like them but did they like me? No way!! Those boys who I liked never liked me even for a short time. They were mostly just my friends or even worse they didn't know about me at all. They just ignored me. :( One experience with that boy from summer camp is really fresh and...I really like him, yeah I still like him, but does he even care? I do not know. And I'm afraid to call him or something in this sense and ask him. On the other hand if he hasn't contacted me yet he can't be really interested in me, eh? And that girl he was talking about...I'm really confused...why me?! Or better question - why do I always fall in love with boys who doesn't like me in the way I want to be liked? Is it really hard to find someone? Or am I just too weird for boys? If I watch the life of my friends, of majority of my friends, they have great relationships with their b/f or g/f and everytime I feel really miserable about this whole thing they just keep saying "Leni, you are great person, nice girl, you're really pretty. Thre's nothing wrong with you. Those boys just don't know you and they don't know what they are missing when they don't want to be with you." Friends always tell you this and I'm thankful for these warming up words but do I have to feel better after listening this for almost my whole adolescence? Trust me, I really don't feel any better. Some people say it's because I don't go out too much but I doubt my situation would get better after going out every night. I've tried it and it didn't help at all. My problem is maybe in that that I'm not a girl just for one night. I'm really shy in relationships with boys and I need some time to get used to someone and to trust someone with my whole soul...

As you could have noticed I had changed the design of my blog. I was bored by those dots so I just thought it's time to make some change. To green again because I really like green color - more than I used to. I've always liked blue or even black. Nice change, eh? I even added chart from last.fm which is writing down the artists and songs I've been listening to recently so you can see what I like to listen - and I like looots of things. These days my favourites are: I AM X, Razorlight, Zero 7 and my oldschool bands Panic! At The Disco, Relient K, The All-American Rejects and my biggest loves JamisonParker. Also the Book Addiction is new here. Some books I really like to read again and I want to recommend to you all. Trust me, there will be a lot more because I just LOVE to read. I'm still reading The Deptford Trilogy, I'm in its half, so after I will read it whole I wanna read Life of Pi and I have some more books in English I'd love to read during the holidays. I've got plenty of time and what's better than spend your free time with some good book in your hands? Just to let you know about the list of books I want to read in near future:

• Life of Pie - Yann Martel [EN]
• Angels and Demons - Dan Brown [EN]
• Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavres - Mary Roach [EN]
• The Cement Garden - Ian McEwan [CZ]
• Catch 22 - Joseph Heller [CZ]

Good list, eh? I guess there will be more and more books which I'll find out interesting to read. If you have any recommendation I'm free for them! Just keep them rolling on me!

Another thing which really made my day better are reaction to Niky's and Jeff's relationship from people I know. There are few close friends of mine (Terka, Vilda - I didn't tell them the truth first because Jeff told me that's surprise that he'll come back in September but after asking me if Jeff comes again, when, why and some more questions I couldn't resist it!) who were...without any censorship...so fucking surprised about this whole thing that they had thought that I did make fun of them! haha, no my dears I did not, just go and see Jeffy's blog. It's all there! I just hope that this two will be together for loooooooong time and a bit longer! ;)

I'm going to watch Silent Hill movie. I downloaded it yesterday but I haven't had any courage to watch it, so the time has come to be scared of some small town in West Virginia which has been burning for 40 years and few weird inhabitants from hell are still living there. I just hope it won't be as bad as I think it could be.

Till next post my fools...

Prague - City of English And Music

Uff, finally at home! It's been a really long time since I wrote last post here but I didn't have any acces to the Internet at all and also any time to go to some Internet café or something like that.

As soon as I arrived home on Saturday from the summer camp in the mountains I was packing my bags again. Niky wrote me that day that she find a place for me to sleep so I'm going to the Prague no matter what. I just said "ok, see ya on Sunday morning at 9am at my house". The real time of our date was 10am because Niky overslept (I'm wondering if she ever goes on time?!) but it didn't change anything ;) We went to the railway station, bought some food for the way - ceasar's salad was incredibly delicious!!! We caught our train and spent 2hours in it and then we finally reached the Prague railway station. Jeff was waiting for us near the ticket shop no.4. Afterwards we went to the hostel to leave our bags there and then, finally, we bursted out to the city. Our first steps (my steps) led us to the Coffee Heaven on the bottom of Wenceslas square, café which has sooo amazing coffee of so many kinds - capuccino, laté, ice coffee, even some cocktails...We spent few minutes in the outdoor garden watching people going around and talking. Then we went for a walk through the Karlova street, Charles' Bridge, Kampa, Old Town Square and many streets and places around. I needed to go to the Anagram Bookshop which is and English bookstore in Prague so our next stop was this small store. I ordered one book there which is called Stiff: The Curious Lives Of Human Cadavres (yeah, I'm a freak but I'm proud of it!!! :P ), Jeff bought one book for himself and Niky was afraid to touch books at all :D

Afterwards we went back to the one of the towers on the Charles' Bridge to meet Sarah and Irish Tim there but these two weren't there so we sat in incredibly expensive restaurant and ordered one beer for each of us. We were talking, drinking (how many times these two words appear on my blog?!) and ordering another round of beers. The price of this beer was 90 crowns!!! In Hradec and in any other NORMAL pub/restaurant in the Czech republic you can get 0,5l of 12° for 25 crowns maximum! So, this was really really expensive restaurant. Sarah came after a while just to tell us that she's going on some sightseeing tour through the Prague and that she will join us at 7:30pm as well as Tim. So, we spent whole time in constitution of two Canadians, two Czechs, one American, one Irishman and three Dutchmen who we met later in the night. If you want to improve your English, go to the pub with all foreigners - the success guranteed! So many different accents of English - the irish one was the most difficult, though. But we had great night all together :)

The morning next day was little bit in rush. We had to get out of the hostel room quite early = 9am :D Afterwards we went on the breakfast on the Wenceslas square (again expensive like hell!) Before we left from the hostel I was introduced to the Jeff's biiiig bag - for you Ty, if you read this I mean his luggage ;) No one would have recognized where he is from ;) - the hockey bag with CANADA and maple leafs all over it. :D We said goodbye to Sarah and Tim because they were going to Cesky Krumlov, I guess and we set off the way to the Prague airport. We met Michal there and spent there few hours. I was again dumbfounded by the prices of all goods, food and drinks there. Just imagine chewing gums for 30 crowns if in normal shop you get them for 11 crowns. Unbelievable!!

The time for saying another goodbye had come around 3pm, this one was for Jeff and believe it or not I was in normal happy mood because I know I'll see him really soon, eh? So, no crying or some things like that, just "hi and see ya" (not in months as I said to him :D )

I had a meeting with my father and brother later in the evening but first I went for my bag to the railway station's depository and also to saw off Niky. After that I was free for other events which were on my program. First of all we had a dinner with my uncle. We stayed at his place.

Tuesday was really nice day. We were walking in the Prague with my father and bro. I guess we were nearly everywhere, even on the water because we were on one of those boat trips. Really nice weather but sometimes I felt really hot. I enjoyed this walk a lot, though. At 4:30 we were standing at the entrance to the Lumbe's Garden where the concert of James Blunt was situated. I really like this singer a LOOOOT so I tried to be there on the right time to get the best places. Believe it or not I made it! I was standing in the first line and I saw everything. The whole concert should have begun at 7pm but the support band called Zero 7 (amazing jamming performance, I really loved it!) started to play at 8pm. After an hour later James and his band came and to be honest he's not as handsome as I've thought after seeing him on some pictures before but he is really nice guy. His voice is nice as well and his piano and guitar playing...hmhmmm...I was almost in the seventh heaven. Though, I wasn't as melting as some other girls who were standing next to me. I guess there were few girls who were even crying. I'm fan of James but not so big to cry when I see him. I just like his music and voice, it's soo nicely melancholic. He played all songs from his debut album Back To Bedlam and three new things which were really really great. I can't wait to have his next CD.

So, this was my few days in the Prague with English and music on every corner. Tomorrow I'm going to be in the pool for whole day long because I won't be able to stand 35°C.

Till next post...

Plans, Plans, Plans

Time to write another post, eh? I've got nothing much to say 'cause nothing very interesting, uncommon or strange happens over here. The camp is almost over - we're leaving on Saturday morning back to Hradec. Again in Hradec for the rest of summer holidays- to be honest I don't want to go back home at all. I don't have many plans to do except going to Prague. The Saturday when we were out with Niky, Jeff and two of his friends - Michal and Petra (I hope I remember their names well) supposed to be last chance to see him but, I promised to go to Prague and there spend the last evening all together. But, I have a small problem to deal with - I have no place to sleep on Sunday. I had thought that I had but my friend is out of town so...I'm wondering how am I going to make it?! My last chance is to ask my uncle if I could sleep at his place. Not very good idea, indeed. Though, I will have to suffer, I guess. Leniska, be brave!

The other plans for the rest of holidays are very blurry. My friend Martin told me that he could ask his boss to give me some part time job in the local Tesco shop. It's not very well-paid but better than nothing. My biggest problem how to engage me during long summer days would be over thanks to this. If I don't get this job I'm really worrying about my mental health because I think I will get mad by my family and by spending too much time at home, as well. My mom was calling me yesterday and she asked me if I had something against to going somewhere for a week. Just to get out of the flat, relax and have some fun. Mom, I'm not against to it at all!!! Though, I'm wondering what place my mom has on her mind?

Also one of plans which came up to my mind in these days is to go to Pilsen to visit my step-sister. Unfortunately, her husband Petr is in the hospital. No one knows what's wrong with him. He has lost a lots of weight in only one month and he suddenly broke down. So, my sister after giving a birth to her small daugther is alone only with help from her mom and her parents-in-law. My father doesn't seem to care about her at all - he haven't even call her yet nor have written her or something. I really doubt he will do it. Anyway, I'm planning to write/call my sister to ask her if she would have something against my coming to Pilsen to help her with Annie. I guess she must be very tired by everything around her so I would be helpful only by looking after baby or something like that.

It's now the time to end this post because my friends are calling me to go to have a shi-sha with them and then we are going to have some bbq.

Till next post...

Life Is Not Always As You Want

Finally, I force myself to post something here. Not only pictures but some text about how I'm doing here and stuff like that.

It's really strange how simple and fast your mood can be changed into that shitty feelings and kind of stress. One reason is again!! problem of my parents. On Tuesday my mom had a brief talk with my father. This situation is starting to be unsolvable. I'm really not looking forward to go home on Saturday. On the other hand...there's new situation about what I haven't known before. Simply, someone *forgot* to tell me that he already likes someone else, not date "just" like. My fault I didn't ask or something, you know, that I wasn't a bit more curious and didn't ask. Though, is it normal when someone flirt with you, tickle you, touch you in really inconspicous way and then, the next day he tells you about some girl who he wants to see?! This is not normal at all - not for me. But that's my problem which I have to deal with. As usual. Boys can be sometimes really bitches! :/

Life Is Full Of Quotations

Here is a bunch of mottos and quotes I always find interesting to think about them or I just like them. I've got loads of these smart sentences because I'm collecting them so I suppose there will be some more post with this theme.

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. Its already tomorrow in Australia." Unknown

"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." Mark Twain

Addicted Or Is It Called Love?

Finally in Hradec! Actually, I'm here since 11am but I had some duties to do first. The very first one was lunch in Chinese restaurant with my parents, my uncle who came from his official journey in Kazakhstan and his friend Aika. My uncle is working on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (I think) and he has been abroad in Kazakhstan for 5 and half year now. He's going back to the Czech republic in the end of this year. Well, he told me that today but I rather like him to stay there because I really don't like him. It seems like I don't like majority of my relatives, eh? I like my family really much but sometimes it's too hard to feel some sympathy or cousinly love to someone who's been hurting your mom for sooo many years. Our family is just weird - well, whose family isn't?! Though, I think the relationships in our family and whole story should be written somewhere as warning! Something like "DO NOT DO/ACT/BEHAVE (like) THIS!"

For those who are happy that I'm back in Hradec, I have to disappoint you. I'm going back to that summer camp on Monday to stay there until Saturday and then, finally, I will be at home for whole holidays. I wanted to stay in the mountains just for few days and I stayed there for one whole week! Now I'm back only for a weekend to say BIG goodbye to Jeffy tomorrow and then I'm going to spend another week in the mountains. I guess I'm addicted to that camp and those people there. To be honest, the guys didn't want me to go back to Hradec and they started to persuade me to stay with them over this weekend! But I was strong, I hold on and told them that I NEED to go to Hradec to say goodbye to my friend who's leaving to Canada. It wasn't the best reason for them and they showed their dissatisfaction a lot but they didn't have another option than let me go :) But I had to promise them that I'll come on Monday not on Wednesday as I had thought first. I know I'm weak and I'm easy target to convince but there is one more reason why I want to go back there... ;)

I should post some photos from the camp to let you see how it there looks like. I'll use some of my brother's photos because he is really GOOD photographer and to be honest, my photos comparing with his suck :D

One panoramic view over the countryside


Typical Czech forest in the mountains. You must love this!


The very old church on the top of the hill called Sv. Matous (St. Matthew) These days is not used for any sermons but there is nice exhibition of photos of the countryside around.


Attention! State boundary! ... and what? :D It seems like Tomas wanted to do some trip to the Poland.


Terezka - the photo devil! She took over 2500 photos in 4 days!!!


My uncle who is camp councillor there - he's been having photographic "classes" for small photographers. The other guy is another camp councillor Zavis alias Krecek (Hamster). This photo wsa taken after the trip to Serlich which is a bit far from the place where the camp is situated so those beers are well-deserved.


The night before I came. Trust me, from the stories I heard from my brother, these bottles served well and all guys were really drunk!


And these guys are them! Those guys with whom I'm having the biggest fun ever. Do not get this photo wrong, they are absolutely normal and it's not any picture of work gang. Owners of the cottage we are staying in needed to help with some small construction and these nuts were making concrete. I'm just wondering when that building gonna fall down :X


My first and last photo from the camp. I hope so :D btw: never eat the ice cream and drink on the beer afterwards! I didn't feel bad but my stomach was on the strike for a looong while.

Life Has Many Opposites

Sunny morning in the mountains with amazing people in as such as good mood as I can have - what more should I wish? Though there's some things which bother me. First of all the biggest problem on my mind is definitely the divorce of my parents which seems to be really close these days. Few days, maybe few weeks until my mom wants to tell my father that she doesn't want to have anything in common with him anymore except us, me and my brother. Not very happy thing to say, indeed, but this is just reality of everyday's life. Our family is not the first or last to go through this all. I just hope that there won't be any really tough situations such as the rows, some spites from my father or something like that. Uff, this is gonna be hard.

The happier thing which happened yesterday made my days much more better. As I wrote some weeks ago about my step-sister and her pregnancy, finally the 5 July 2006, 3:18pm is the date and time when my small niece was born!!! Her name is Anicka - Annie in English - and she is alright and so is my sister. I hope I'll see her as soon as possible to make myself sure how both of them are doing and stuff around. Now, I'm an auntie!! I will spoil this little baby as much as I can ;) Hope that photos will be soon so I could post them here.

Except these two radical things nothing interesting going on these days. I'm doing pretty well over here, having loads of fun with everyone and everything. No one really wants me to do anything so I can do what I want and no one cares much. For example yesterday I spent whole day sleeping because the night before we were watching Finding Nemo with my friend until 3am! Well, we were talking through major part of the movie. Though we were able to catch those scenes which are the best of whole movie and we were both laughing sooo hard that other guys in the room were almost threwing things on us. 0:) We were really tired so after all everything seemed to be funny for us. I'm having great times with this guy. Last year we were even able to *argue* about who had nicer sleeping shorts. I had ones with pictures of Donald the Duck and he had ones with small angels with glasses. Everytime when one of us showed up in these shorts everybody around knew we are going to *fight*.

I guess I will end this post up because there are people who want to go on the Internet as well as me.

Alco-Summer Camp

Heya! The second day on summer camp as a visitor but I feel like I've spent whole month here. When I arrived yesterday no one had known about it before so all of guys were so surprised when they saw me! haha My first plans were namely that I'll come on Wednesday just for the party and some more days but I've made up my mind and went here earlier. Just to relax for some time and get rid of the stress I've have been having lately.

My first steps led me into the atic room of my four amazing friends - all of them are guys approximately in the same age as I am. They were shouting at me when I entered the room: "Leniiii, how are yaaaaa?!" "Do you have that booze you told us that you'll bring?" (nice guys, I know, I really like them :D ) So, I gave them my two strawberry Amundsen vodkas which I brought for them. We are going to drink them both tonight 0:) Jeff, I guess it's too late to not become such a pub guy of your qualities :D I'm already in...

After this welcome we went on the dinner and after that we ordered a beer. And it wasn't my last beer of that night. I had some more while guys were playing the pool - to be honest it was relly dangerous to just sit around and watch them play because all the time some of those pool balls just jump off the table and almost hit me in different parts of my body. You should know something about these guys - they make jokes all the time, but these jokes are mainly those double-meanings ones! So, you can imagine what they were doing and saying about the balls and the cues. I wasn't spared from those jokes as well. You can imagine what they told me when I did that trick with glass of beer. :X gross!! Lately that night we were watching X-Men II and after that the X-Men III but I was falling asleep every fifth minute so I went to my bed before the movie ended.

This is just short view of normal day here - laughing, joking, drinking, watching movies and actually doing nothing at all. I'll be ending now 'cause I had to go out (yeah, I'm going out, on the sun and I don't mind!!! )

Till next free computer with an acces to Internet...

P.S: I'm taking photos of almost everything what's going on here. As soon as I have more time to upload them I will do it.

Party All The Time

I'm leaving today for whole week. Though I think and I hope I will have an access to the Internet to let you know how am I doing. I'm going to visit my friends in the mountains. Actually it's a summer camp where I've been going for 7 years now. Now, I don't go there as a kid anymore, last year I was a trainee there but for this week I'll be just a visitor :D

I've got few hilarious friends there. Well, to be honest those friends are all boys because it's a summer camp for those technical nuts who like computers and stuff around. So, these guys and one girl - everytime all of them spoil me like if I was some princess and actually they are really happy to have me there. And I'm happy, too because with these guys you never know what does the word "boredome" mean ;) They aren't happy only for the fact that I'm the only one girl there in their age but also because I'm the same boozer as they are :X At least last year it was like that. For example one night we were drinking a lot. Then we went out just to be on the fresh air. We were standing and I felt bit sleepy so I leant on the shoulder of my friend Zobák. I told him "Hey, stay straight! Don't move!" because I thought he was moving. He looked at me in a really strange way and said: "But Leni, I'm standing straight all the time we are here, I'm not moving at all." So, guys started to laugh at me making fun of me that I'm drunk and stuff like that. I was but it wasn't my fault. One friend of my mother who is actually really nice old lady (she is gradma) was there and she told us "Hey kids, don't try to tell me you have nothing to drink. What would you like for a booze?" We told her that we didn't want anything but she convinced us and...aww, if I recall it my stomach is starting to protest. Also if I realize that on Thursday one of camp councillors is celebrating his 30 birthdays and there will be a BIG party...oh ou :X kind of suicide to go there, eh?

The very first purpose of this post was to put here some photos from the Thursday party but I see I broke it again :D so here are some photos:

Our party group. This was just the beginning.


Typical Czech buns and pies :P you don't know how lovely they are, especially if they are made by my mother...hmmhhm


Concentration :D (that guy behind is our head teacher Filip)


Another *normal* photo of me :D HELLO!!! :P


Angie and Misha :)


Evicka, Garni and hyperactive guy Kosťa :)


Ondra - he's ABSOLUTELY normal...he's just a little freak :D


The VERY REAL redneck :D


Aren't we beautiful girls? :D


I'm wondering where this ugly girl came from. I think she wasn't on the list of poeple who had been invited. :D (Jessica, I guess this photo is the best reason why he should cut his hair...)


The last photo of all of us together with Jeff. Hope there will be another chance to take similar photo one day :)

Weird End Of School Year

So many things have happened lately and my blog is empty. How it can be?! Ok, just to let you be in the picture:

On Thursday 29 June there was that goodbye party for Jeffy with our class on my garden. I was really afraid of it, kind of nervous to be exact. I was freaking out whole day, still walking anywhere I could just to calm down myself a little bit, talking to myself that everything will be ok. And actually it was better than that! Even though that sun wasn't shining much and it was drizzling sometimes the weather in general was perfect for our party. The beginning was set up for 6pm. The last man who left our house was - you can guess ;) - yeah it was Jeff and he left around 3am!!! Really cool action indeed - there was lots of food and drinks - the beer was the most favourite one :D. The mood of all of us was the best for having a party. Yeah, it was little bit awkward first when very first people started to come because they didn't know what they could expect but after some time all the blocks were gone. We were talking about many things, laughing, even singing because Jeff brought his guitar (don't forget you still have it here!) and just to make it short and simple - it was much more better than I could have expected. There were around 13 people from my class, Jeff, our hyperactive guy Kosťa and our head teacher Stráník plus my parents and my brother. Also my two dogs Angie and Misha (those are boy's names!) were there and they were coddled by all of party people. All of them (except only one person - but I had supposed she wouldn't like it here) told me that they had fun, they enjoyed it and they thanked me for it almost million times each. Hey guys, anytime, all of you, YOU'RE WELCOME!!! I'm thinking about organizing something similar in September before my departure to France. Well, we'll see ;)

The next day, Friday, could be included in the list of "The Weirdest Days Of My Life". In the morning we came to school 10 minutes late. Let me explain it to you. After the party, four people slept in my house - Alis, Niky, Ludva and Jana. We woke up at 7am to be sure that we catch the bus but you know 5 people with small hangover, totally tired after the night full of fun.... We were really really slow. So, it was for the first time when I came late on the last day of school! Such a rebel, eh? :D

After that we went with Niky, Garni, Evicka, Terka and Ondra to Cuba Libre. We stayed here just for a while then we went to Knihomol where all of us except Ondra ordered something with garlic. I've got loads of it in my spaghetti. It was burning like the Hell! Yuk! Though it was good. We split up after that and I went home to take a nap. Well, I wanted to sleep just for a while but around 2:30pm one of my great friends Terka M. rung at my door. She wanted me to go with her to the piercing studio. So, even though I was almost sleeping I went with her. You know, if your friend asked you for going you should go with her/him. To be honest she was really afraid of it but after it was done she was sooo happy. It really looks good!! After that I met Jeffy at the bus stop. I went to say hello to him and just to talk for a while. We talked for only around 5 minutes maybe less, you know, about party, about our plans for the night and so on. One funny thing happened when we were standing there. Some girls who were actually friends of Jeff or something like that were passing us by and Jeff told them "Hey girls, this is my friend Lenka," and those girls looked at me, one shook my hand and said "Hi.". They thought I was some English girl! hahaha

At around 8:30pm I went to Terka's place to meet up with girls. Then me and Niky, we went to pick up Jeffy at Elegance and after that we went to Salieri bar. We met Garni and Evicka there and we all stayed here till the midnight. Even Niky's step-sister Niky came to see us. Our next steps led us to Podvobraz but it was almost dead there. Bad music, weird people, Terka started to be sad so I invited her for a drink and actually I think I forced her to smile and her mood was even better then. We didn't stay there for a long time and then we went to Sport Café. (Do you count it? The fourth bar I was in that day and it's not over yet!) I was feeling really sick and we all started to be tired but than we all caught the second wind and my stomach was quite better. We went to Presso but as fast as we arrived there we went out. We didn't know it but the clou of whole night came after that.

We met our hyperactive guy Kosťa and his friend. I don't know what his name was but he looks like Jean Reno so we called him simply Jean. This guy had a joint of marihuana with him so...don't criticize me, I'm young and I didn't have much of it, though. And after all I wasn't alone :P One thing I don't get was when Jeffy passed it to me for the first time, I took it and he told me "I knew you'll take it." Do I look like a marihuana smoker or what?! After we smoked it out we went to Mega Vetes and there we met another friend of Kosťa called Ondra. Well, I think his name is Ondra because I saw his picture on Jeff's blog. So, this was our group - 4 girls, 4 guys and all talking in English. We sometimes fluently broke into funny French. Funny means that it was Czech sentence but it was said with French accent so it sounds French but it wasn't. You should see people who didn't know any of French language, they really thought we were speaking like some French guys. hahaha

We had so much fun there. You know, it doesn't happen every day that you are drinking in pub with two of your English teachers, well, only one to be exact but still it's weird. We are even allowed to thou Kosťa but only during the holidays. In school we will have to call him by that old stupid title "mister professor". It sucks! Another really funny thing was when Jean started to do his trick with the half liter glass of beer. He put whole edge of it to his mouth! And he wasn't alone. Just to explain you how to do it: First you have to lick the edge of the glass to make it wet. After that you put part of the glass to your mouth, than you blow your mouth as much as you can and if your mouth is big enough you have the whole edge of this glass in your mouth. Everybody can do it, trust me! I couldn't let myself to not try it and I made it for the second try. I hope there will be some photos of it because this trick is H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!!

Around 5:30am we decided to go home and it also started the hardest part of whole night. For me it was really hard moment because I had to hurt two of my great friends who I like a lot. Not hurt literally but I know it wasn't easy for them neither for me. I won't talk about it here because who is in way of it knows what is it all about. Just let me say guys I'm really sorry for that. I felt like a piece of shit and girls know that I was even crying although I think I did right thing. I would like to give you some advice, for all of people who read this blog - don't try to save the world or save lives of people who you love, you'll feel like a piece of shit even though you did right thing...

So this is my weird ending of the school year, the ending of the school year I will remember for the rest of my life.

Till next post...
