DP: After an especially long and exhausting drive or flight, a grueling week at work, or a mind-numbing exam period — what’s the one thing you do to feel human again?
SLEEP.
And pamper myself 😀
Month: July 2014
Lets spice this blog up ;)
If you don’t like this type of music… Well… Don’t listen 😉
It makes me feel ALIVE. I have a soul of a dancer and I am so sorry my parents forced me out of dancing school when I was young. I tried to go back but life is complicated now. Dance is simple. ❤
Dance is like an universal language. I love and admire skillful dancers any kind, but the hip-hopers and subcategories get my heart beating fast and saying wooooow 🙂 Also, latino dancers. Old school rock’n’roll dances also. Funk it, every dancer that has that something and is killin’ it on the floor!
Now I got worked up to dance hahahahah… But I can’t. I somehow hurt toes on both of my legs so I am sitting, writing with my legs hanging from both sides. 😀 Chillaxin’…
Anyhowdlyly do, here is one also that I loved.
Enjoy!
Hmmmm… I could post dancers that inspire me… Yap. Gonna do that. Saved the idea in brain. Done. Thank you for using memory. Exit.
Dancing – when I can, can save me from really bad mood and when I dance I feel every feeling is leaving and at the same time joy filling me… I used to dance for about hour or two every day in my room, but now not anymore… I am so looking forward to that!
Walking my own talk
There is a phrase in English; “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going”.
I have never fully understood this. Does this means when it gets harder in life then the change is possible? Or when it becomes hard, that is what matters? First one I kinda get, but second is just straight up bullshit. It is not valuable just because it is hard. I don’t know who taught us that! It is a lesson for us, and valuable experience for future, but hard is just hard.
I’m not feeling so good, but you know what, I am proud of my journey. The fact that I can look in the monitor now and write this, or even to care to write this – is enormous. And indicator that the things are really getting better… Yes!
I was between two photos I wanted to share with you, but this quote from Paulo Coelho just got me.
Relax and enjoy as much as you can. ❤
I refuse to feel bad about myself!
Today is one of those days. You know, when you can count 100 things you don’t like just by looking in a mirror… Ahhhh… I feel unattractive today. But I refuse to talk myself down in my head.
My skin looks terrible, I have so many little scars and zits.
My hair looks… I don’t wanna look at it. Hairstyle is nonexistent and ugly and color didn’t catch on like I wanted to.
I have bags under my eyes. And my eyes look weird.
I have double chin.
I need to take care of depilation.
My teeth look yellow and my front tooth is chipped. I hate it.
Ok. I am mean to myself. Lets try something else…
My skin is amazing, it catches tan so fast I already look like I have been sunbathing. I also have a scar creme which will help smooth-en the skin on my cheeks.
I will wash my hair today and treat it with conditioner. I love the fact that I cut it because it is so hot today, and the color thing – I will go to hair stylist to ask how much does it cost to dye it completely. I am so glad my hair is so grateful and full of volume so I can do this stuff and experiment.
I have bags under my eyes and look pale because I was in pain last two days. I also feel tired because of it. Pain = exhausted. I will nurture myself as soon as my monthly thing goes away.
I don’t know if that is a double chin or my throat is swollen because I can’t breathe properly through my nose. I will clean my nose with salt water today and the throat will no longer be swollen.
Again… I was in pain last two days. I will take care of everything, just relax. Slow. Thankfully, the pain is almost gone.
My teeth really do look yellow but I am going next week to see my dentist about the chipped tooth so I will ask him about that also.
Do I feel better now? Hmmmm, honestly not really, but I don’t feel worse – where my thinking was leading me. I was full honest today with you to show you how I think, even though I am all pro positive self-image and confidence, I am human. We all do this and I think it is unnecessary and I don’t want to feel bad about myself. I don’t want to feel ugly. Because I’m not.
I want to be associated with changing the things that drown me to my floating devices. With the process of healing, with what my sister immediately connected me when I asked her.
Now, I promised that I will write a story. 😉
I will tell it how I remember it and add bunch of details of my own.
Once upon a time, there was a city called Frogville. In the Frogville, every frog lived happy and jumped around. Frogs said hello to their neighbors and peace and harmony ruled. One day, there was a competition announced. They have built a big rock, very very tall. It said; The winner is the one who climbs on top of that rock first and will be admired and respected. Every frog in Frogville wanted to be the winner. They trained their skills, they approved their jumping and climbing abilities just to be on top of their game on the day of competition. It became the most important thing in Frogville. Finally, the Competition Day came. Excited, the competitors lined up beneath the huge rock and the crowd gather around from all the Frogville to watch and cheer. Bam! The start was marked! The frogs started fast, jumping and climbing and avoiding obstacles. The crowd was cheering loud and supporting their favorites. The frogs got pretty high and some of them slowed down. It was scary after all, to be so high from the ground. Some of the frogs gave up and returned down. But many continued. The rock was hard to climb and some of the frogs gave up and returned down. But still, a lot of them continued. The rock was also unstable and the frogs could easily fall if they weren’t careful. So, some of the frogs gave up and returned down. Now there was only few frogs left, a dozen of them, still jumping, still climbing to the top. Crowd which was cheering suddenly became worried and they started yelling to the remaining frogs:
“Come down, you can’t make to the top! It’s to high! You can’t make it!”
And they yelled and yelled. “You can’t make it! Come down!”
One by one, frogs were giving up.
“You can’t make it!”
Three frogs remained in the competition. Still climbing. Still jumping.
“You can’t make it!” – echoed from below from many voices.
Slowly one frog gave up. And then one more.
Only one frog was left and it was jumping and climbing to the top.
“You can’t make it! Come down!”
But the frog continued, jumping and climbing every jump closer to the top. Finally, the frog reached the top of the rock! The crowd was ecstatic! That one frog was the winner!
When the frog returned to the ground, they asked;
“How come everyone else gave up, but you continued all the way to the top?”
The frog just stared at them. It was deaf.
First Anniversary!!! Whoa!
Update:
I give you my first post as I was suggested 😉 and when I found it I saw the date. July 16. Hahahahaha, the joke is so on me… So, my anniversary is actually today… XD

Also, if you would like to browse through my post history, except for the Random Post Bob you have a Calendar in the sidebar with all my posts marked, you can get lost if you want or maybe check out what did I write before you followed me. 🙂
So exciting! ❤
I can’t believe that it has been a year since I have opened my first “New Post” page and written an intro into something I knew then it would last. I had that feeling of “everything is ready”. 🙂
My mother called me Ivančica (Daisy) when I was a kid 🙂 It is strange that there is no translation for “Tratinčica” (my sister nickname), those are the same flower except daisy is bigger and has bigger flowers – like i was the older sister.
In past I had two blogs, but both were for the sole purpose of passing my exams on college and I have never thought of having a blog, let alone writing on English!
It just clicked together, I just knew I wanted to share and make, and just “go with the flow”… But something happened when I started blogging.
I discovered my love…

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Nietzsche
This video shows something important. Staying in the presence is one of the tools to live a happy life. It is truth, I know it by my experience, if I think about the past I get sad and if I think about the future I worry. Of course, that is not the rule. If I think about good stuff from past and lovely memories I will not get sad, and if I channel my energy towards good possible scenarios in the future and everything wonderful I want to do and see, I won’t worry. That’s why I said that not thinking about what was and what comes is ONE of the tools. Different thinking is another. 🙂
I love the energy of this song and very much the lyrics, particularly this line:
“We are alive…. And the stars make love to the universe”
I stopped the first time I heard them and said that I have never heard anything like that in a sentence. I love it. It gives sensual and alive meaning to chemical and mathematical area. 😉
p.s. I would like to thank Tina The Mess for two awards she has humbled me, I did not forget. They will be proudly displayed on my Awards page. ❤
On the note of Prompt my answer is NO. Not a chance… Nope. No thank you. A-a. Nouuuu. Ne. Nein. No way. Why would anyone take that? Now that’s a prompt.
First Anniversary!!! Whoa!
So exciting! ❤

I discovered my love for photography. I saw how much of a truly creative person I am… You think I would know, but I didn’t! I guess putting it black on white made it easier for me to realize it.
I discovered that I like experimenting with food! (Something everyone was surprised/ shocked about. 😀 ) I pull together courage and showed a little poet that I know is in me. But, I didn’t expect this…this community, this connections I made… Connections that really filled me up with happiness, that were very important to me a couple of times… I am so glad I chose WordPress and not local blogging site, because I was am able to spread my wings across the whole world… There is a sense of sweet freedom in that thought. 🙂 I also become aware of “agenda” and “numbers” and “followers”, “views”. I still claim that I don’t care about boosting my numbers, but of course that I care about being read, about you who comment and make my day, about my little baby blog being viewed a lot…
Thank you! For being here, reading, commenting, sharing, inspiring me and letting me inspire you… Giving me awards what made me very proud. 🙂 I got a lot of more stuff in store for this part of my life I can’t imagine my life without now. Weird, right?
I didn’t know where this journey of mine is going to take me, but ironically, by sharing and opening up to the world I got to know myself better…

Stuck?
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go noooow, should I stay or should I go nooow (very fast)
If I go it would be troubleeeee
If I stay it will be doubleeee
Yes. A song in my jukebox head. ❤
I have no frigin' idea if I am stuck or i just have too many ideas? I don't know! I don't know!
I wanna watch a movie, but not really, i don't like the name of my blog but have been thinking of another for hours, I know I "have" to do a post about my first DIY items because it's in my "to-do" for a while… And to top it, tomorrow is important day.
Fuck fuck fuck.
I wanna be on computer, but I kinda don't.
Am I irritated by this? YES.
Am I hyperactive also? YES.
So, before Google diagnose me with something, I want to write about today’s Prompt. It’s about procrastination, how convenient. I think (?) I am procrastinating right now… Blogging about not blogging the stuff I wanted to blog about. Blog-ception. My happy simple world.
Ugrh…. So, what do I do when I procrastinate? Everything, but nothing. I have the stuff I am supossed to do near ( a book, script, computer) but I just end up opening it up and closing it again, doing some sort of activities which aren’t even activities like singing songs I just made up, or stretching a lot all over the bed. Or I go in full denial mode and just do the things like washing the dishes and then entire kitchen, contemplating about full make-over, taking all of my clothes from the closet because they need to be folded and divided properly (!) or just being nervous and telling myself I need to get done with it to stop feeling guilty.
I am a Doctor of my own universe.

A story what the football (soccer for the USA) is all about…. Friendship, sport, fun, community, cheering, success and failure and dealing with both. 🙂
