Sunday mehh..

Hi, how is your Sunday going?
Mine is weird. Yesterday I opened bike season so today after 17 km ride to work and back, my legs are not really appreciating my yesterdays choices, but still it was fun. On my way back met this little fella. Adorable huh?

This seems to be a new concept of customer attraction. 'Pet the cat while waiting for your food!'
Anyways, Sunday turned out to be not as happy, woke up with epic headache that doesn't seem to be willing to let me go. So this day possibly will be spent tucked in the bed curled up in a ball with two cats of mine.

Four legged one is sleeping hand to paw with me, and two legged one is making pancakes with apples, hes is the best. Taking care of me during his 'me' day is something.

Ok now about other things. I am about to finish some of new crafty thingies and hopefully my camera will feel well enough to take pics of those things and also there will be an update/just an ordinary first time entry about the transformation of the room make over that we are having.

I wish you all a nice weeks end have fun and relax in the mean while I'll try to heal my death ;D

Little things

Hey all,
it is nice to have a job that you really like, well maybe not that realy realy but enough to enjoy it although it takes a lot of you during the day. You forget your native language after spending 8 hours a day blabering in foregn tongue also people are not always that happy and forgiving, patient and understanding and some ar just f*&kin' rude without no reason. It is kind of difficult to get into the contact with other culture just by listening to their requests over the phone. And yah sorry forgot to mention i am in close relationship with a phone at a call center. I'm greatfull that after all I got myself into the right and at least more interesting project at least for now. For the moment I am working with ferry travels and past week has been crazy, so many delays and cancelations I haven't seen before as I can gues our customers haven't experienced that eather ;D

But now I am sitting here with basicaly nothing to do because the hottest hours ar over for now and only at this moment I find the beauty and joy of this work. The whole floor is buzzing with people talking. Some are lost, some need help, others are doing just fine although some are ready to kill eather themselves or the customer after spending 6 minutes trying to ask for the date of birth of an old and slightly deaf lady paraphrasing the question in every way possible but without any luck. Well some customers that our other project has have seen the WWI so patience is one of the best qualities in such work also having good ears also help ;D

Many people would not understand the beauty of this but try to imagine that you work in a bee nest. Every individual important as one and even more important as part of a team, reaching one goal or maybe not even reaching but trying to maintain the result that already exists and reaching for the best possible. It is the spirit in theese people or lack of it because it is very possible that not all of theese folks are as bubly about their work as I am. As for now I'm happy because I am kind a good at this. That is a bonus to the fact that the work is not boring it got it's ups and downs and what can you do than just sit back and...

Ring ring.. 'WElcome to.. My name is
Maria. How can I help you today?'

P.S. it is more than a perfect time to feel tourself in the surroundings of yours, finding your place on the branch of time tree without actually looking, just feeling it.

Spring and other happy day

Hey all,
hope you all been dooing good theese past well i'm kind of ashamed to say this but past two years. Without realising they paseed by like a windy storm. A lot has changed since the last time and I realised that in order to have a normal appropriate and interesting blog you need to have life that would be interesting and exciting for yourself. I'm getting there.

As for now this fine friday morning away from work  stress and all other things to storm through my head I can tell that life is good, I am good and other are also good. For now I stopped my intense studies and started to work, moved to the old town to this wonderful home. The old jews appartment in the heart of my city that has a soul of it's own. Home needing lots of handy work but results are visible. Now we are occupied with renovation, cleaning, bit of gardening and ect.

Good to have a home that after all you call your own and what you make of it is what you have. So starting today I invite you to ammuse yourself in my company trying to concour renovation, make over, craft, growth of characterand soul and all other stuff that thiss appartment houses.

And this is todays song. Hope you'll enjoy it.

 I wish everyone an ability to notice and appreciate litle miracles that are going all arounr us every minute of out lives. A bit of serenity and a flake of joy.

Rainy Saturday’s lemony evening…

Since after an amazing Friday: sunny hot and fun, little of summery storm came by today. Personally I can’t help myself not to watch lightning flashing through the sky, that’s why I like storms so much but this time it just got cold and wet so after (at last) normal night sleep spent my day in bed reading a book, trying to gather myself for proper work.

  Somehow when there’s so little left till the first of my final exams I still can’t process that idea that in five weeks time I’ll be free of my previous life, one chapter finished…..

 However for today I was in mood for something sweet and warm and completely accidentally stumbled upon few lemons in the kitchen. This little cutie is a result of it.

 Delicious as hell and heaven combined together....

Have a nice weekend at least what's left of it.

One month ago there was...

Hello Boys and Girls,


Since the night outside is cold as in Antarctica and I’m staying at home, I thought that it would be nice to tell you this. Brag more likely.

Today is the day, the day one month after my birth day meaning that it has already been a month that I have my gift by my side. Big thank you to that favorite part of my friends who made my precious to stand up for himself and say it out loud.

‘I like you.’ He said as the biggest secret in the world, and after three weeks he finger spelled ‘I love you.’ on my wrist.

He kept it in for so long that I couldn’t understand how was that even possible for me not to notice something like that. He waited half a year to tell me what was feeling. Those three little words are somehow very hard to produce. Whenever you think of saying them there is like an alarm in your head screaming DANGEROUS, HARMFUL, PAINFUL and you just can’t help it.

I get him now and I love him.

P.S. Can't get this out of my head.

For all those out there.

Since this is the new area for my mind to run free (not the first one, but the one that I hope I will have enough patience to manage) I'd like to say hi to all those wonderful personalities out there lost in the miles of internet wireing. A big hug and even bigger kiss.
