thank you Leap day and thank you february

having every four years a chance of extra 24 hours is a thing that has not that much of attention, and mostly pass by as an usual day. however somehow today felt like being out of box and it turn out to be great extra 24 hours.

postcards from Zagreb.

Today i don`t find myself into much of writing. So instead of that I bring you post cards from Zagreb...

BIG city life.

Me now and me 5 years ago @Zagreb.

weekend spent in Zagreb. i even did not know myself how much I was missing a big city life. Well, for most of people only one million of city size may seem not actually a big one, but for me after quite some months being in Ljubljana, it seemed like the BIG city and having a saturday spent in city center, when there are thousands of people around you, superb. it really does not matter if you know some or not, as i just got the great feeling on actions going around, move and change happening, city full of life, GREAT, i liked it so much. I guess even thought i still feel exhausted from the weekend and missing some sleep, it was charging, perfect time, as i did need it to manage my works around here, just another busy month here left.

When first time visiting Zagreb some years ago, i did not took the best impressions with me, then now, its actually kind of nice city where going back again seems not the worst idea.

Oh well, its enough talking of the BIG City Zagreb, if you have not been there yet, take the time and see it, its worth. they have not only interesting pieces of architecture, great summer cafes, yes also already from February. and believe me, those were crowded with people. And nevertheless there you can find also quite some fun museums, like museum for Broken Relationships.

And yeah, was great time spent to meet up with EDS guys and girls, and have some latvian chats too...you go to Zagreb to speak latvian, also an unexpected happening.

Getting myself in adventures, it seems its the part i know how to do the best.

Good night,

S.

another month and then its over.

yes, its true, another month and then Ljubljana times will have a break. another hectic month to go, with managing crazy amount of things at work, many things i want to still manage to see and do around Slovenia.

Have I already told you that Slovenia just seems small, as every day there are new surprises? Like this world famous Perpetuum Jazzile, that actually have starting roots in Slovenia. Would like to see them live too.

and now im today of to explore and experience.

decisions made with no planing.

Murphy or not, but if nothing happens, then nothing and if something happen, then usually all good things the same time and i have to divide myself to manage everything or the hard days of making decisions.

first time taking hard decisions, i was told that if you cannot decide what you want you will get what`s left over. somehow this saying since then have stuck in my mind. i am not sure if it also helps to make decisions or if it helps to make right decisions, but anyhow to decide about what i want and not float through life, i believe this does.

so yes, some time ago i got to know that there is going to be an event in Croatia, and as its so near from here, not to join would be silly. I wish that would be it, as just afterwards i also got to know that BEST Ljubljana has their weekend event... and well, what would you think? Can it happen two different weekends? of course not, both at the same time.

and well, also that was not all. as the couple of weeks ago while being at hairdresser`s i got to know of 2 handsome CELLOS, the Slovenian/Croatian band I got to know about while being here in Lj, are going to play in Maribor. turns out the only concert in Slovenia this part of year. and yup, the same start of weekend as my two other possibilities.

Welcome to to jungle of decisions.

remember the saying I was just quoting? well, all decisions were made without me much interfering, as too long waiting and not deciding left me with no chance to buy the tickets - simply Sold Out. And the other choosing of what to do during the weekend was made by first come, first serve option...so Zagreb for a weekend, here I come.

Let me know if you know where the 2 CELLOS will be performing...seeing them live one day would be cool.

21022012 know of what i am referring to?

Look what`s here...
one fifth part of 149 of  hand creams have reached me in LJ

what a day, not only because you can read the date the same from both ends, but more because its been a super great day. as some of you knows, then yesterday my misfortune, not only t made me to wake up on time, to be at work on Monday after going out and being home late and going to sleep late, having left out of office with no keys and nobody in office was kind of silly situation. Well, but that was yesterday, but today is today, new things happen.

recently noticed, weather changes here are so sudden, that one day its sunny, warm, the other raining all day non-stop, then you wake up on morning and see from nowhere 10 cm of snow, thats already melting, later in eve you go for a walk but actually end up ice skating the streets of Ljubljana, and now today you wake up, and sun again shines in sky. Unbelievable.

oh yeah...Carnivals.

In every new country its just not possible to avoid learning or discovering randomly something new. so this weekend I discovered that quite some southern countries of Europe have carnivals these days. its for sure not even close to be common in Latvia, as its still too cold winter to have people dressed in masks on streets. But well, Slovenia do it...So I got to see some small parts of Carnival too...

some moments from saturday @city center of Ljubljana

And if you wake up early enough on saturday, then you can not only enjoy the perfect weather with blue sky, sunny and around +9C, but also see Ljubljana celebrating Carnival. as i woke up partially early, then cough only the last part of it, however managed to see live my favorite part the "jetties" or the super loud and funny masks. I wish I could try one one day, seems to be a lot of fun.
