Vencek

Hello with my widest smile to you! :) I´m just so so happy right now. It´s because of all the wonderful memories I have and the great feeling that came back to me after reminding myself about one unforgetable evening/night. Of course, I don´t remember everything, but I can recall the smell of my antiperspirant, the pain in my legs, that soft touch of powder on my sweaty body, ...no commercials, but I use Rimmel London Stay Matte powder, great one..., my nervous heart beating, the aroma of the hairspray the hair-dresser used on my curled hair, firm grip of my partner, taste of that disgusting (sorry, for using such an expression on food, but if you had a chance to try it, you´d think the same) polish chocolate and many other things, but above all I remember that great sentiment about all of us, my body and the music.



Sounds like a great occasion, doesn´t it? :D It´s all about this event, "Venček", that took a place in April, 5th. ...Yeah, yeah, I know, I have to explain what that "Venček" thing is. I´ll try my best... In Slovakia (don´t know how it is in other countries), students of high schools have this opportunity to attend courses of ballroom dancing and as we are (my class) students of gymnasium, it is a more like tradition to take it. So, we had 10 courses and then it all finished with this evening when we had something like ball, or however I can call it, we just performed what we have learnd to our paretns who paid all that, not really cheap, stuff (courses, clothing, tickets, gifts = for me it was nearly 200 €). That´s venček. If you´d like to see some more pictures or read more vistit my schoolmate´s blog.

We learned 10 dances! English and Viennese Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Blues, Jive, Cha Cha, Czech Polka, Twist and Country.

First we had a parade and exhibition of all dances. Then there was dance with parents and some dances performed by professionals. And after this, COMPETITION TIME! 30 pairs, only 6 of them could go ahead trouhg theese: English and Viennese Waltz, Polka, Jive and Cha Cha. Try to guess, who was in this "first 6"! :) So there was another round and after every dance number judge revealed the valuation. And according to it, my partner and me, we won the 3th place! ...I still can´t believe that!...

Most of the friends just rolle their eyes when I say I was surprised or that I really didn´t think it could happen, not after so much mistakes I made, but nevermind. It was definately thanks to my great partner. Just like my sister said: "He was leading and you were smiling" :) ...And isn´t it how it should be?...(note from my 24yo self -No. That is not how it should be.)

Then there was a competition just for boys. One long track, girls running from one boy to another, having a short dance with them and pinning a small decorative ring-shaped wreaths (in Slovak "venček") on their suit. And the guy who had most of them, and so danced with the highes number of girls won. Would you believe me, if I say that MY partner won it? ...No matter if you would, he really did!... After that, it was boy´s turn to pick Miss Sympa by giving us flowers and chocolates, but it wasn´t a dancing competition, because if it were, we all would know who´d win it :) My great great friend Zuzike, who, surprisingly, won the 6th palce in the pair contest. And now, the most important thing for me was about to be told. I´m not hiding that my biggest ambition was to win as a creator of the prittiest "wreath". And I did! That was the most beautiful moment of all. ...I´m so fucking proud of myself!...

What happend next, I didn´t really care about, the ambitions have been satisfied. The end of the "ball", disco, saying goodbye, way to home and bed. Enough. Falling asleep as the happiest person in the world.

So that´s it. It wans´t such a big deal, but I felt like absolute lady. And you can see it in the pictures, it was all very elegant and classy, and I don´t know, I think most of us just like to enjoy that kind of atmophere once in a long time. And also, thanks  to pictures, this seems to be my first OUTFIT and make-up, hair and nails post :) As you can see, I was wearing beautiful black and cherryred dress from Bonprix, hair curled and pinned on side, nails painted on red, earrings from Lindex, regular foundation routine + red blush + Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick in 09 "Rosseto" was a great choise for a long night. ...What elese should I say?...

Oh, yes! I must thank to my great partner Denis, who was the best leader and who I´d never thought I could get so far without. And for that wonderful bouquet of roses he gave to me. My height and my maladroid legs were a problem, but he faced all the troubles (those I mentioned and plus his own sore ankle) with courage and our venček was a manifique feast for eyes of all in the hall.

"And now, I teach you to dance, so you know what to do when you feel infinitely easy but also undeathably heavy."

March favourites

Heey :D I´m back, you see? And today I´d like to share with you, as I promised, stuff that crossed my way throught the cold days of Mach. So, shut up micheska and let´s get started :)

ҩ As a film lover it´s a must to begin with a FAVOURITE FILM of March, which is finally rewatched

• Avatar (2009) I think I don´t have to explain why I love this movie, I watched it the last day of March, it was in TV, there was nothing better in so I told myself ´why not´ and I know I´ve done the right decision. All of those emotions I had form this movie that day in cinema in 2009 went back and I had a really hard time not to cry.

ҩ For FAVOURITE VIDEO I definitly choose this fan video, which I´m absolutely mad about. If you are a fan of Kingdom of Heaven, or at least you´ve seen the movie, I bet you will like the video. Or at least the song, which I personally love well, I´m not really sure If it´s because I love the video or becuse the song itslef or because I´m in love with Guy de Lusignan and the song totally shows his second side...

See for yourslef.

 

ҩ As the FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK of March I present you the one, having music all composed in the second half of 18th century by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

• Amadeus - Special Edition Soundtrack - Director´s Cut CD1+2 and why this? Well, because! And because I was listening to this album everytime I could. And, this is the best, it was my background music everytime I was having a nap. You should try this sometimes, to fall asleep and wake up while some nice music is playing. I admit, I´m listening to this soundtrack right now :)
  If you´d like to know more about soundtrack or the movie Amadeus (1984) , here you go You´ll hear from me about it, I swear

ҩ I have a question for you: Have you heard some classical music today? By a FAVOURITE TRACKS, from the same soundtrack I mentioned above, I´d like to feed your soul´s needs so I´m highlighting these three tracks:

• Zaide; Aria, Ruhe Sanft - this one´s my all time favourite from the whole soundtrack, so I´d like you to listen to it, too, so you have some nice music in the background while reading this :) And plus, this is the track, the CD2 beggins with, so this is the melody I´m falling asleep with :)

• Requirem Lacrimosa just few words: so wonderfuly dramatic, I bet you have alredy heard this melody, at least in the Simpsons (15x11) and when I die, I want this track being played on my funeral!
• Piano Concerto In D Minor, K. 466, 2nd Movement beautiful and calm, just reminding me of the spring we are still waiting for, the sun and warm wind and peaceful singing of little birds, and me walking down the sun-drenched main streen and people are kind and they are smiling and wearing costumes in pale colours ....ach, the new world is waiting for us and we must be the ones who do the fist step as a prove that we want it and deserve it, let´s be the new generation who starts the revolution

ҩ What I always say most of the times just to myself, but nevermind is: Honor the history but be open for the modern as well. So there are my FAVOURITE SONGS of  March, which are much younger than Mozart´s geart works:

• Lana Del Rey - Burning Desire I still don´t know, why the lyrics touched me so much well, maybe because I also do have burning desires for you, baby
• Zaz - Dans ma Rue I was on one competition in one of music schools in my town, where students were singinig in French and there was a girl who sang the song, I knew it before and of course loved it before, but in March it looked like a obsession :)
• Milan Lasica - Skôr než odídeš the slovak evergreen originally sung by František Krištof Veselý, it just gives you this feeling of classic black and white times, girls and women in dress and men in suits, nah, I´m really a fucking deep dreamer :D

ҩ FAOURITE EVENT is the drama competition in Wednesday 6th, which we won with the Bernard Shaw´s Pygmalion. It was a wonderful time we had, so much fun and not a nervous atmosphere, at all. And tomorrow, as we won, we continue and if we win, we step foraward to national round.

ҩ FAVOURITE PICTURES!!!!!

ҩ And last, but not least, FAVOURITE QUOTE is very well known for those, who have ever danced a tango :) This remins me of a post I have to do for you, guys. About our mine and my fiends´ not yours :P "ball" so I hope we´ll meet in the next article. Until then, stay inspired :)

"S l o w , s l o w , quickquick."

Oh, March!

What the hell is this?! I´m asking. Is this....look at me....is this how March behave like? NO! It´s not! Do you hear me? Bad March, bad bad March.

So I woke up yesterday morning, looked from window and what didn´t I see? Snow. Yes, whole land the man´s eye can see is coverd by snow in April. And what´s happening right now is snow falling. Snowflake after snowflake, or better say thousands snowflakes after thousands and another thousands that one can´t even see forward.

   It´s Easter time, but hey, this is more like Christmas than any other holiday here in Slovakia. And nearly whole Europe. Not even in Christmas we had such a weather. It´s beautiful, I must admit. But it´s risky beauty. There, where I live the nature doesn´t endanger us like it does in other parts of Slovakia. The month was full of dangerous car crashes and deluges and accidents. Yeah, it´s sad, you know, when watching this in TV news everyday, but do you know what touches my heart the most? Than it gets people together. When I see all of them filling the sacks by sand and place them all around the flows of the rivers, old, young, the whole village, doing whatever they can, trying to help, no matter if their houses or properties are in danger or not. And they are still quite positive. It´s so impressive mark of that people are not heartless, even in this times...we all know what this times are, I don´t thing I have to explain how I see it :)

   I´m not complaining, really, I just wanted to express my opinion about the weather. I don´t really care about it because of myself. I do have warm clothes, we do have operative heating system in whole building, water, electricity, there are no problems with transport, just, I´m not cut off from the civilisation. What makes me worry are the influances of the weather, especially on nature. Poor animals are waiting for the spring, they are hungry and tired of all this. And what about farmers. They are trying whole year to cultive something and now, ah, I hope it won´t ruin them...And all those people and animals living on the streets. Those, who have nowhere to hide from the frost.

   Another thing that has made me worry is my new role in play of my two friends as one of them is going to enjoy skiing in Italy. So I´m learning the script during my free time. Well, when I am  free from my other free time activities.The role is quite funny to me, because I find the half of it like if it was written right for me and the other half right contre me :D I just hope I will do it and pass another competition we have on 11. April.

   This is just something that I´m even more exited about than the theatre, and so, Game of Thrones season 3! :O Now I can imagine all of you – GOT fans so so happy and you – let´s say not fans like „heavens, another one of them“ and I´m sorry, I don´t want to make anyone, who´s not already, sick of it. It´s just unspeakable joy :)

   And the last think  wantetd to highlight in this report, is: I´m quite inspired by this "month favourites" stuff so I decided to give it a try. No need to worry, it certainly isn´t going to be about cosmetics and make up, but about thing I love endlessly – ART! + culture, history... So look forward to the next post. :)

"You have strange eyes, you Slavs. Full of fear..."

Odillo (Spring of life)

February, thanks for courage!

God must be loving me!

Yes, I feel loved. I feel loved by the new fresh spring air, by my family, by my guinea pig, by the "old good times", by my friends, by slovak and english language, by my hair, by all the world! I know it´s March already, but it was Febuary that gave me courage to make the brave decisions. 

So, where to start? It happend so much in Febuary. Well, let me open my notebook...  this is another great reason to have one exept for feeling like a lady...

I passed my own psychological test. In the beginng of the month, in school we had an opportunity to do psychological test to find out, what are we good in and what to decide to do in the future. It took about two hours maybe even less and it was just testing our verbal, logical and memory ability. Try to guess how it ended for me. Exactly how I sussposed! The "man" I have no idea how to call him told me precisely what I thought about myself. That I am pedant, stickler, artist,  inteligent oh stop it you... and very uncommon person... that I should continue in art and history studying and very possibly work film as an art - supervisor. Fine, those were my expectations, I told myself sitting on jumpy chair in front of him. But then he told me to become a teacher or a journalist and I started to feel precariously. The tests were supposed to help make people sure about what to do in their future but acutally, it made me ask myself  that dangerous question: "What if..."

But I have an answer for one "What if..." What if I didn´t go to ´revival´? I definitely wouldn´t meet so nice people and so unpleasant as well and spend great 2 days with them. From now on I´m looking forward to my confirmation.

Aaaand now, the most expected news at least for me it was our school english drama group which I joined this year and we started preparation of performing Pygmalion by Bernard Saw in February. I was really not afraid to say scared of how am I going to handle this and work with so many unknown people and play with them but we did it absolutely fabulous, we won the competition and we are getting ready to "higher level". Actually I don´t really care if we win or not, we had so much fun and it was a wonderful experience for me. This definitely deservs its very own article

Nah, it was really a long month not only because of these events but also because of the spring holydays we have in Slovakia. Long wished free week ´recharged my batteries´ like we prefer to say in Slovakia. Well, February, thanks for courage, support, rest, confidence and the question:

"What´s to become of me?"

Liza Doolittle (My Fair Lady)

And with me it´s 6001

Woke up. Short walk in apatment. Back to bed. Turned up notebook. Browsed facebook, youtube, EGW and then my blog. Something new. Already?!

6000 and 1 wiews my dears. Not a big deal? For me, it is! I just don´t know how it happend so quickly. It´s not a great change, but still, you know, I feel responsibility. I must take care of this blog more, and write better articles, maybe more often. But this was just somethink what gave me a reason to write, so I´m not gonna care about this now and jump to something more interesting. More interesting than history? How dare I?

The year begins in good way. Maybe not that good, but it doesn´t beat me so I appreciate it. :)

I´m just trying to say, that my worries haven´t fulfilled yet, but I still live in the fear that once they will. So my happiness is more a fear and appreciation that everything goes like this.

Yes, I´m talking about our dance lessons, too. I thought of it as a hell, but actually, it´s not so bad. Yes, the photographer said that me with my partner were the funniest couple and he had to take a photo of us, however I still think, it can be worse. I´m not the best, but not the worst one neither and those who judge should look at themselves first. It just needs a time and practise I´m sure I´ll dance a way better.

And there is another funny think. I´ve just realised well, it was yesterday, or a day before that I´m wearing one coat all winter. I don´t know why. I have 2 beautifuly warmy winter jackets and 2 two coats but I´m still wearing this particular one. My friends are having fun of it, that I look like a Snata Claus or a Redhood or even, don´t know If you saw a movie Shindler´s list, but one my friend said that I looked like the girl in the red coat. I found it interesting to mention it, because it´s a International Holocaust Remembrance Day today. 

Another reason why to be happy with what you have. Of course, we should aim hight, but never be hungry for more. Work for more! Let´s be grateful for everithing because society is in a such bad condition that this ´everithing´ can be taken from us very, very easily.

"The man is rich only when he does not want more."

Oh, January...so we meet again!

Again! 2013 had an hour to begin with January. With a hot Rooibos tea without sugar and used tissues all around me, I recognize we are in the second half of the coldest month in a whole year. I wake up into my cold room, I leave home into the cold world, I enter the cold school, sit on my cold wooden chair listening about cold weather influences  on georelief and the sound of the snow under my feet. Then I take a cold bus back home and lie down sleep into my cold bed.  However, during all that time, I think about the hottest passions. How beautiful it would be to just take a brush and panit all this dying world? How? Sinful! How do I dare to think about that?! It snows now. Snowflake after snowflake, gravity place each one on the others oh, thanks a lot Jožka, now I look at this miracle in your physical way, and there you go. Creating lands of untouched innocence. Covering thick footprints. Hiding the beaten track, incorrect paths, wrong decisions. Isn´t it a chance to start again? To fix  our mistakes? I can see some symbolism in this Isn´t it wonderful to see everything around us coverd by this white veiling of purification? Maybe we all feel much more cleaner by the influence of it. That´s why we adore it so much the look, at least.  So I´m saying, thank to you, January, for making me temperate and for freezing my passions, so I can save them for worse times.

I send thousend kisses to Martin Benka, Napoleon, Henri de Toulouse - Lautrec, Miloš Forman and Ladislav Hudec

And for you Kollár, Bernolák, Bajza, Fándly, Rudnay, Šafárik, Hollý, Hamuliak and for all in Štúr´s band - thank you for what you have done for our nation but still - Fuck Yourselves - !

with love micheska

My 2012 biggest successes

For the last day of this year, which was so far the best, I thought about an article dedictated to my successes in 2012 so, after year or more, it will remind me of them. And I´ll be proud and see how I improve or degrade. 

   And why was this year the best so far? First things first, I spent all the year with my beloved ones. My family, greatest friends, with paint brushes and color pencils, with Alphonse Mucha on my wall  and one big dinosaur in a corner of my room. I´ve survived dentist, apocalypse, 2 halfs of school years, amounts of periods, intrigues of my classmates, family, politicians and public pressure to meet standards of this society. For more reasons keep reading.

1. FALL IN LOVE WITH THEATRE
In this year I finally found out how beautiful theatre plays are. At the beggining of the year I came to watch one of the best Slovak plays and the best I´ve seen - Stalin v Žiline (Stalin in Žilina). It was monodrama about life story of one of the finest writers from Žilina - Ľubomír Feldek (*1936). In main role there was Marián Gaišberg and his fascinating voice. This drama totaly changed the way I look at the theatre. About month ago I saw 7 dní do pohrebu (7 days till the funeral) with great actress Jana Ohľová. This showed me that theatre also can be very modern and new.

2. MATRICULATION
Just great time with great people. Hours of practicing dance. Choosing the best costumes. Raising money. Advertising. Few hassels. And great night! Galaprogram in a style of Millionaire and DISCO! And then tidying. Nah. There were so many troubles during preparing everything but we did it! We did it together and I think we are even closer to each other now. Thank you guys :)


3. EXHIBITION - PRERUŠENÁ PIESEŇ
This year summer holiday I visited my sister in Bratislava, the capital city. How lucky I was, when I noticed advertisement on my train ticket. I just had to see it. So I went to the Slovak National Gallery and I saw something incredible. Colossal exhibition of the art of socialistic realism 1948 - 1956 - Prerušená pieseň (Interrupted song). There was the best of the work of such a talented artists like Martin Benka, Ľudovít Fulla and many others not only from the time of realism but art moderna as well. Thank you, dear sister, I will never forget it.

4. ART SUCCESSES
Well, who would say that I´ll win honorable mention on Biennial in Martin with this strange picture on the left? Actually, it´s just a picture of my crossed fingers :P But I´m not complaining, I´m happy and honoured. Thank you, thank you...I didn´t deserve it. Oh, thank you... And there are some other things I made this year and I´m proud of them.
Aaaand, I can´t forget to show you off my BIG in every word meaning project - I painted McQueen on the wall for my cousin´s son Samuel. And I can assure you, it wasn´t easy at all paint such a large picture and moreover with acrilic paint.

5. I FINISHED WATCHING SPARTACUS: Vengeance and GAME OF THRONES Season 2

6. MOVIES
So I saw: Beautiful Soul, 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Creation, Great Dictator, Habemus Papam, Hodinu Nevíš, Dracula (1992), Modern Times, Nosferatu, Obchod na Korze, Dark Shadows, Vesničko Má Středisková, Rabaka, The Artist, Anna Karenina (2012), Tanec Medzi Črepinami, Perfect Sense... These are those best I think

7. SERIES
I started to watch: Once Upon a Time, Rome

8. SOUNDTRACKS
I had an honour to fall in love with these ones: Galdiator, Bathory, Black Swan, Cracks, Dark Shadows CD1+CD2, Elisabeth: The Virgin Queen, Game of Thrones, Mask, Perfect Sense, Tanec Medzi Črepinami, Skyfall, Tisícročná Včela, Anna Karenina (2012)...

9. SMILED, LOVED, DREAMT, CRIED

 
And it´s the last year yet, so why not to call it THE BEST? :) There´ll be no more years like this, I won´t celebrate my 15 in school playing games and "Chladnozem" again and I´ll definitely never order a "Slovac hot chocolate in CaféKupé nor Canadian one in tea house Víla. I will never climb a tree and sing Edith Piaf with invisible guitar on Žužlla´s birthday party again. It seems that professor Tanitó (modeled by "chlap") won´t be our class teacher anymore ( :( ), as well as my previous french teacher won´t teach me french anymore ( :D ). Two of my classmates left to another schools, but I don´t mourn because I believe they´re on a better place now ...well, that sounds like they died...
   I think it´s enough reasons already. I have nothing else so write. Thank you for reading,

have a great New Years Eve and I whish you everything the best to the year 2013!
Good luck to everyone!

That lazy b*tch Winter

Nah, so sleeeeeeepy weather...

   Ahhh, holidays! :) How incredibly happy am I to just sleep until the lunch time, watch films in TV, pet my guinea pig, read books and think of no trouble. But still, this holidays aren´t what they should be. There´s no snow, just an ice on the roads, there are too many films in TV that I can´t watch those I want because they run in the same time and I still don´t have presents for my friends. I need an inspiration! I have so plenty of  free time, an honestly, I should be punished for not using it properly, but this is just the time which I absolutely hate - "art silence". I may kill myself, but my soul is lazy now. 

   I can´t go out. It´s so cold there outside. So I have to stay at home and complain that I don´t enjoy holidays. Fine. I can do that, but i don´t want to be angry. I want to happy! I want to feel rested, relaxed, just satisfied.

   In case of abide this request of mine, I just take another christmas wafer, put a honey on it and enjoy the soft symphony in my mouth...

Good luck and Happy holidays to everyone!

Old dog, new tricks

GOD, I´ve got nearly 5000 views and that makes me think about this empty nothingness here. Oh, yes, I knew it will end up like this. I was telling myself "nooo, that´s not gonna happend, not to you, not again" and you see. I see. False hope, I will never make myself do something I don´t really want to. To be honest, it doesn´t bother me, but I started to miss this hours of writting reflexions by finding a depth of myself and remembering nice moments of my life, so they can make me happy again.

The problem ,yes, there´s always a problem, why would I write here those foolish sentences, if there wasn´t a problem?, is writing in English. I know, it was my decision, I´m just complaining. Another proof that I´m a human. Of course, it helps me to improve my English. I always feel more confident to talk about my emotions when I practice it before. And, I´m sure, it´s not only me, who finds it very artistic and poetic, to write in foreign language. Really poetic... But there is this sick problem. Finally It´s so cold. I feel so cold when I write and then when I read what I´ve written. In school, now, we learn how to write not by our mind but by our soul. If I like it? Yes. Anyway, the teacher is a bitch. That´s what a needed. Find the way how to express myself, emotions, opinions. With every new lesson, I find out, how beautiful the Slovak language really is. It´s playfull, colorful, supercharge... And English? As I know, that it´s my fault, that I see English like this, coz I´m not skilled in the art of this language, so I will call it "my English". My English is so black and white, it´s so difficult for me to find those right words, right phrases. I love to write in English , yes, yes, my english, as I said, it makes me feel so inteligent, so it seems to me, that I´ll write in both languages. I don´t see it as a barrier, the most of my readers are Slovaks, ahoj to you all, and we´ll see how it spits out. 

Another thing I want to change is design. It´s really time to change it. I hate this dark black and grey background. I meant it to be elegant and smart, but I hate it now :) I´ll see what I can do with it. If there is something I can do with it...

And the last but not least my plans: 

Soundtracks! The most beautiful tracks from my favourite movie/series soundtracks

YouTube channel! Every Monday (hopefuly) new track from Complete Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack uploaded on my YouTube channel.

Fuh, so that´s all for now. See ya in the next artecle :)

What 2012 brings (I/II)

This year 2012 brought, brings and will bring many new movies. And new seasons of well known TV series. I really couldn´t wait this year to come also because I needed to start again. With many things. I need a new view on things happening around me. Well, I thought it would help me, but it seems, I will have to fight myself (again! :D) and I have to change the place from which I´m observing things, a common move with my head won´t help me. I feel that things are not going well and I´m getting more sorrows than joys. I´m making  bad decisions. Maybe I need  some new people, open my eyes widely, see humans with less prejudices. It will be hard, I´m sure but I want it! I want fight, I don´t know why, I feel so strong, it sudden came and I feel like warrior with sword but without shield reliant on myself. I have a horse, too, but I forgot that it also has its own personality, that it also needs freedom. I didn´t behave to it good, so it´s running away from me. I feel I´m loosing its commitment. I have to leave the door open for it, but also for me of course. I believe that when I loose something I must find new one. 

I´m wondering what is better, to have just sword or just shield. To be an attacker or defender. I have to conquer new lands but I have to defend my old ones. And how, without shield? Without anything what can I hide behind. I must change the tactic, I must show myself all. It will be fighting against myself but I must win this battle. I have so much courage and I know there are some people who would stand in line with me in the worse moment. I´M BOHEMIAN. I enjoy everything and I´LL ENJOY THIS BATTLE, TOO!!

JANUARY

Spartacus: Venegeance
I really couldn´t wait for new season after watching Gods of the Arena. I already saw the 6th episode and I still know mine - Gods of the Arena was better than 1st or this season, but it´s still worthy of watching. As I mentioned, article before, I love brutal realistic truth. You know, sometimes there are some mistakes, but the knowledge, that Spartacus will be defeated at the end always makes that evil laughting in my mind :D And since Lucretia is alive, with her mystic position, I will watch it to the bitter end. But I really miss Batiatus. They two were my favourite characters.

One site of conflict - Spartacus with the other slaves

Mira, Crixus, Onomeas, Naevea and new characters: Nasir, Agron, ...

The second site - ROME

Galber, Ilithia, Ashur, Lucretia and new arrivals: Seppia, Seppius and all Rome oc

FEBRUARY

Perfect Sense

How long I waited for this movie!  Well, I waited for it since I first heard about its shooting.  So it was about one year, maybe more. Nevermind, I had the honor to see it in cinema, but I already saw it 3 or 2 days before :) It´s so strong movie, with Eva Green (:) and with Ewan McGregor, who is man, who really makes you cry. It´s drama, where two people find senses of love while they´re, and all world, loosing the senses. I was crying, what doesn´t happen to me usually but it isn´t apocalyptic movie, it says "without love, there´s nothing".

MARCH

The Iron Lady
For the truth, this is another movie which I´d like to see only because of the actress in main role - Maryl Streep, who is absolutly stunning in every her movie I saw. I will never forget for movie Death Becomes Her, which as a child, I loved to watch :) And I love it for today. I´m pretty exited to see something from British modern history. I also like to watch stories of strong women in the world of men. I know the movie is already out, but I would like to enjoy the view from cinema seat, and Iron Lady will be in our theatres in March, so I have to wait. Because I´m stubborn...

APRIL

Game of Thrones:  War is coming

Wooo!! :D I really can´t wait this season to start! The first killed me, cast, background, costumes, design of sets and story :) Of course, I will miss Sean Bean, but just for his rumped face. Who I really love is Peter Dinklage´s Tyrion Lannister. I´m so happy, that he finally got some serious role in serious project, even the best! I feel something beautiful from his personality. And I can´t forget for new characters, especially Melisandre by Carice van Houten. I saw her in Black Death  and she has the sorcery spirit in her. And I want to see new nations (jellyfish, bear, deer).

MAY

Dark Shadows

New Depp´s and Burton´s movie. It´s remake of soup opera series from 1966-1971 with vampires and witches and crazy Helena Bonham Carter. I personally don´t give big chances to this movie. I like Burton, I consider Johnny as real actor and I can´t say no to Helena, but the only thing, which I will spend money for, is Eva Green. :) She plays Angelique Bouchard. Johnny plays her lover, but as playboy of 18th century, he leaves her and she makes a vampire from him. Then he wakes up in 1970´s, finding his new family in modern world.....but Angelique will catch him! Now I´m imagining an evil laugh again MUHAHAHAA! :D

Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe Mortez, Gulliver McCrath, Balla Heathcote, Johnny Depp, Jackie Earle Haley, Jonny Lee Miller, Michelle Pfeiffer

JUNE

 Prometheus

Yes! I waited for more than 2 years for another Ridley´s epic movie, and you see, justly. I´m not big fan of sci-fi, but you know, Ridley Scott is Ridley Scott and when I heard that this will be something connected with Alien, I became very very excited. There are Noomi Rapace , Michal Fassbender, Charlize Theron and Patric Wilson in main cast. But I want to see Guy Pearce the most. I saw him in King´s Speech for the first time. Nice guy. Well the story is about explores who discover a key to the mankind origin, but more important will be to save it.

Movie: Earthlings

Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-1991) in his bestseller "Enemies, a love story" wrote: 

As often has Herman had witnessed the salughter of animals or fish, he always had the same thought: In their behavior toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemply the most extreme racist theories: 

"The principle that might is right."

Well, I´m here again, with bowl of popcorn, with smell of burning candles, listening complete Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack. Yeah, that´s relax. Just lying in bed with my sweet guinea pig, wondering if there´s something nicer in my life. I have holyday so there are no problems with school, I have my beloved pet near me, I can kiss her, stroke her...

This is her - Hryzka, the reason why I live :)

Just one look it this face and my life gets sense :)

This is absolutely the best photo I´ve ever done.

This is the life...

Like I said, I love art in its every way, I love music, I love movies, I love paintings, I love fashion, I love culture, I love design, I love architecture, I love dance, I love photos..... God, it can´t be written, everything what I love about art. 

But what I haven´t said is that I love nature, and the most I love ANIMALS. I love their innocence. I love them all. From little ant to the biggest whales, I love them all. Because they deserve it. They live with us, they work for us, they die for us, they let us hurt them, they let us be stronger and they let us rule them and whole planet, no matter that this world is their like it´s ours. 

Just because animals don´t have the same desires or thinking like us or just because they are not that inteligent as we are, it doesn´t mean that they have no senses, it doesn´t mean that they don´t feel pain, it doesn´t mean that they are stupid and they don´t deserve to live their lifes. 

I hate people, I hate us, I hate myself because of what we have done to them. And we still do that to them. They were here in battles, in scientific researchs, in medicine, in the times of peace, in wars. They were here for us, they died, they suffered, that we might live better.

They die and we have what we need - food. I don´t have any problem with eating meat, killing animals for food, that´s natural, we couldn´t live without it. But because it´s important for our live, we should have respect for them, because thanks to them we live. They deserve better life than life in cages with another thousand animals on little piece of land with them. Try to image you, with living space smaler than sheet of paper in format A4 and then die, hanging on leg, upside down cutted through the neck. 

Animals deserve to feel fresh air in their lungs, green grass under their foots and freedom.

But there is movie, for the truth it´s document, which explains everything. I tried to make a little trailer for you.

Earthlings

This documentary is from 2005 and the narrator is Joaquin Phoenix, actor, who you can know from Gladiator. From my trailer, it can seem like movie just about life´s truths, but it´s not. Actually, that is just the introduction. Core of movie is builded by shoots from hidden camera from the places where this crimes are happening every day. Warning: There you will see the brutal but realistic truth. It´s for people, who don´t close their eyes before the truth. If you want to see official trailer or if you want to know more about the movie visit the official site. 

After watchinhg the movie, you will understand everything. You will understand that...

this must be stopped!

Christmas is knocking on the door...

"...well, then just open it."

this is my favourite slovak carol :D "Just for the athmosfere" :P

Hey, hey!! :D I´m back with great mood :) There are many reasons of my happiness. Christmas is coming, it finally started to snow here, and... we had great Christmas party in class. Well, we can call it "party" but it wasn´t anything more, than meeting after school in class with all classmates and with our class teacher. Carols, kofola, pizza and gifts. Everyone bought one gift, the all were gathered on the desk, every of them got a number and then, we received some number and gift of the number :) It´s nice, because everyone got something....... ehm, I got a tea, but the present from me wasn´t anything worldshaking - puzzle with girlish motive. And try to guess, who got it.... :P

   There´s just one sad thing about it - I forgot to take photo of our beautiful class. In fact, it has never been so beautiful as in this evening :) Lavishly decorated Christmas tree, smell of mandarins, bright and sparkling decors on walls and windows... we did it as best as we could. And I think, we handled it.

   Well, it was stunning farewell with my colleagues and teacher before threeweeks long holiday. At the end, big hugsgiving and goodbye. I´ll see you at 6.1. :D May God bless you...

Jéé, pizza for me! Juicy Bolognese pizza :P

Dessert - "Apple. Ice-cream Apple" :D

And now, time for PRESENTS!!

God, I couldn´t forget for this box!! It may be 70 years old! Hehe, something from Slovak culture :D
