OLD NEWS

I never wrote about that SUPER 8 SUPER LIGHT COMPETITION, so I will write few sentences now. There were 8 light guys competing and someone non-Croatian finally won. So, congratulations to the Spanish guy!! I must admit that watching heavy weight guys competing is much more interesting. Demonstrations were great this year. I am not saying that because I was participating in one, but because la creme de la creme was performing. The demo in which I was participating - went ok. There were 8 girlies around tatami and some serious action was going on in the middle of tatami, I guess we were not really noticed. That is, as my friend Kalle says, very okay since my arse was exposed to the audience most of the time. As I feared, there was some juvenal singing there but this time little girlie did not sing the national anthem, thank God!! But this year the anthem was just sang in a weird way. I do not know why don't they just push the button, play the tune and get it over with?? I am into inovations as the next girl but not when it comes to national anthem and someone's attempt to sing. I am not a fan of parents who put their, more or less, talented children in the spotlight like that. It is cute when little girlies sing but ONE song, everything more than that is way too much. Also, I do not know who chose half naked girlies doing lame dancing number...it just did not fit in there. Why mix martial arts, electric dreams and pink spandex? I know that guys appreciate the sight of half naked girlies but there is a time and place for that sort of thing. However, the performance of the break dancing group Megablast was great as always. I did not attend the Christmas Nanbudo seminar led by Doshu Yoshinao Nanbu this year. It is weird how things and priorities change in life. Traveling and attending seminars was really important to me for quite some time. Now, I do not care that much about that...I guess that herniated disc really shook me. Visiting countries and friends is great. Of course one enjoys those events because people are together at trainings and having „killer time“ during and after each seminar... but enthusiasm fades away with time. Other people's priorities also change with time. I hope my enthousiasm did not leave me for good.

birthday blues

What a crappy day…and it is my birthday….28th. I do not remember that it was ever this trashy. I did not sleep well, then I saw the weather in the morning…raining and blowing...end of the world. When I went to brush my teeth I saw a zit on my forehead that was a size of Slovenia (normally, it would not be much, but since it is on the forehead it is quite big). It is normal that doggies who are two months old urinate on the floor, but I was not too happy about stepping on it in my socky sockies early in the morning. I could not get out from the garage because a car was parked in front of it. I already felt so miserable that I did not even bother to yell at the guy. Then I stepped into mud with my new boots. While I was walking from my car to work it was pretty windy and I had some serious crying going on. Luckily, I put mascara on today so it was leaking down my cheeks and by the time I came into the building I looked like Alice Cooper. Those guys at the front desk always look at me funny but you should have seen how they were looking at me today. Seems like they have something against my Michael Jackson badge …although the picture of Michael was taken when he was still black...you know the a,b,cs and 1,2,3s...good times. Then I started getting some sms and phonecalls from people of which I did not expect to remember my birthday...then again, I expected it from some other people but they forgot. I got the best home made birthday card ever from my best friends and everytime I read it, it puts a smile on my face. I will go to the city after work and do some serious shopping. That always makes me feel better! You? This was written on monday but I did not have time to put it on blog. Damn city government that does not allow wasting time at work. Still, that day was crappy till the end. I thought of going to the city and spend a nice evening but then when I came home I remembered that I have to take the dog to the vet to cut some stiches...and when it was done I just fell like taking it easy and waited for the birthday from hell to pass. Thank God it did!

KALEVALA

The first edition of the Finnish National Epic, Kalevala, has been published in its complete verse form (translated into Croatian). This immense translation work has been conducted by Dr. Slavko Peleh and it was promoted in NSK today. I was planning to go there on my lunch break since it is close to the City Hall but today it was the 1st day since I work that I needed to stay and skip lunch break! I was looking forward to hang out with my friend Liisa (Kettu). She is a trainee in Finnish Embassy, but she is leaving for Finland in a week. She does not know if she'll ever come back, maybe just for vacation. Those Finnish people are always leaving me. Ah Liis... As for Kalevala, I will wait for the time when I will be able to read the original version!

USER'S GUIDE

To my friends and acquaintancies: write comments below posts, it is not necessary that you comment via sms!!! Writing comments is an easy task! Weirdos! I see that quite many people read my posts and only few leave comments, I guess the reason is that I write in english...advice: you can write comments in croatian also, you know? Ok, I'm glad we settled this issue! Now you fans of BALDHEAD DREAD can see the pics of the event (which are pretty bad since they were taken with mobile). Enjoy!

LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR, HOW DID IT GET THERE?

I wish I could produce some interesting posts, like people whose posts I often read do. This weather is shitty, days are shitty and my life is lately litterally shitty. One of my dogs had an operation and the other is two months old so one pukes and the other shits quite a lot. Short days do not bother me, what bothers me is that that sorry excuse for a daytime is completely gray. However, I do not want to complain about the weather since I cannot do anything to change it. One more thing is bad about gray days. No one wears white shoes. Since I am preparing Jana's workshop gallery with lots and lots of pics of white shoes taken in the streets of Zagreb, this weather is not helping me. I should visit Dubrava, I heard girlies there wear village shiny white sharp-edged boots. It is a fashion police case but I am grateful for those faux pas... one look at those boots and I can see the sun through those gray clouds! I must write about one happy event so I would stop complaining about the trashy weather. So, last friday I went to a soiree that was part of a Human Rights Film Festival. The event: SKANKIN’ UP A RIOT! with great tunes of very talented and handsome dj BALDHEAD DREAD really made my evening. That "ska, psycho, swing demencija" requiered a black and white dress code. Jackets, ties and badges were very welcome. There were some stylish outfits there, let me tell you! I saw dear friends that I have not seen for a long time, tunes were jolly and I had some serious killer time. I do not hang out with fools!

FINALLY

What is new with you? I did not write for some time for several reasons: I cannot open any blog pages at work grrrrr and I have two doggies who need my attention badly (one is 7 weeks old and the other one is jelous). As I was not living at home I had more responsability than I usually have and I was so tired everyday that I did not want to spend my few calm family minutes on the computer. Also, I had some serious problems with using blog.hr from another computer (was I allowed to say that?) Anyways, Martin (the little doggie, is not that little anymore. He has over 6 kilos and that is more than Vilma (his mother) had when she was a month older than he is now. It will be one big doggie, let me tell ya! Nowdays, everything he does is cute but not for much longer... it will not be that cute when he starts eating big-boy-food and shitting properly. Still, my love for Martin „knows no distance“ even if he eats all the relatives and furniture. You can check the new Martin 3 gallery! What else is new? I have a new hair do. Also, I might say that I am on some serious crossroad right about now and I was never good at making decisions. This time I should really make a good one because lots of things are at stake. Sometimes I hate myself for being lame at it, making decisions that is. Actually, I do not think that I ever needed to make some serious one, or maybe the amount of pros and cons was not that close. I should stop thingking about it and follow the heart and gut because there is not much time to waste (and I am not talking about my own). I have to start living that first day of the rest of my life. Maybe I should not worry much ... everything comes to its place, one way or another. The truth is that I have nothing but sweet worries. I will stop analyzing because I will lose those few fans who read my posts and never leave comments J So, I'll skip the crap and go to some more news. Two weeks ago I started training easily (I always trained easily) because I was asked to participate in the demonstration on SUPER 9 tournament that takes place every year (it is a competition of usually 8 or 9 best competitors worldwide). I went to training to see if I could do things I was supposed to. I managed to do them, so I will be one of 9 girlies doing a slow mixture of tenchi undo. It will not be spectacular to watch. Still, there will be few demonstrations that look really impresive and well trained. The tournament has a good reputation, does not last too long and is always interesting to watch. So, INVITATION is in order: if you're interested you can come on 16/12/06 to „Vinko Bek“ in Kušlanova 59a at 19:00 to Nanbudo SUPER 9 Tournament. It is always a pretty huge event. I sincerely hope that juvie will not sing the national anthem like last year, no matter how many child eurovisions she has won...then again, I always have fun watching it. Also, there is a Croatian competitor who does very unusual screaming. All in all, it should be fun. You are all welcome!
