Freedom of religion… but only if you believe what I believe! / Sloboda religije…ali samo ako vjerujes u ono sto ja vjerujem!

~ au ~ 10 Comments

Yesterday, the famous movement of fascistic idiots, called Pegida, was demonstrating in Munich. To show how “horrifying” Muslims are and how “BAD” it will be when Germany gets “islamized” they even found a guy that called for prayer so everyone could hear the “adhan” in the center of Munich. I was horrified! But not of the adhan. For me that is (and it should be for everyone) as normal as hearing church clocks ringing. Both are in my opionion nice to hear but overrated but that is another story!

For a person that has not a limited mind hearing, in this case the adhan, should make the person feel if not relaxed then at least indifferent about it. In Germany and some more places everyone has the right to express their religion (as long as they follow the laws) and should also be comfortable to do that!
What scared me when I heard the adhan was how people reacted! They were all disgusted and terrified (?), talking silently about it with each other. There was hatred in their face and they were angry (?) to hear the adhan in the middle of the day in the middle of THEIR city. These are mostly people that consider themselves  open minded and believe that this is a great thing with freedom of religion however with a big “BUT” …. The expression of their face said “f-k this “freedom of religion for everyone”. We do now want it! Go back where you came from”.
Thinking back and remembering the communist states. In this whole story, I find, the communist where much fairer in this subject. They simply put all religions in the same drawer calling them useless. No one was favored, no one forgotten, and all religions were considered crap.
Now we have a pseudo freedom of religion but as long as people on the streets react as they reacted yesterday, that freedom of religion is just a sentence on a paper with which one you can literally wipe your butt! With other words there is no religion of freedom here unless you believe in what we believe!water-religion-dalai-lamaJucer je jedna poznata grupa fascistickih idiota zvani Pegida su demonstrirali u Minhenu. Da pokazu kako je to ”zastrasujuce” i kako ce biti ”grozno” kad se islamizira Njemacka nasli nekog covjeka koji je pozivao na molitvu i tako se u sred Minhena u sred bijela dana cuo ezan. Za mene ( a trebalo bi biti to zvakog) je normalno cuti ezan toliko koliko mi je normalno cuti crkvena zvona. Za moj pojam su obe ove stvari totalno nepotrebne ali to je druga prica…
Za osobe sa otvorenim pogledom svijeta, kad cuju ezan, trebale bi u biti da se osjecaju opusteni ili barem ravnodusni.
U Njemackoj i jos par drzava, svi imaju pravo da svoju religiju prakticiraju, dok se drze zakona.
Mene je prepala reakcija ljudi! U facama se vidjelo kako im je odvratno a i kako su prestraseni (?), pricali su tiho jedno sa drugima. Bila je mrznja u licima i bili su ljuti (?) da cuju ezan u sred bijela dana u sred njihovog grada. Ovo su ljudi koji vecinom o sebi misle kako su otvorenog uma i vjeruju da je sloboda religija jedna super stvar medjutim uvijek se tu uvuce jedno veliko ”ALI”…
Izraz njihovih lica je pricao drugu pricu poput – ”J-i ti ”slobodu religije za svakog”. Mi to necemo! Vratite se odakle ste dosli!
To me podsjeti na bivse komunsticke drzave. U citavoj prici su oni bili posteniji kad se prica o religiji. Oni su jednostavno sve religije stavili u jednu ladicu u nazvali je nepotrebnom. Ni jedna religija nije bila favorizirana niti je bila zaboravljena. Jednostavno su sve gledane kao smece. Sad imamo neku pseudoslobodu praktivovanja religija. Ali dok god obicni ljudi po ulicama reaguju onako kako su jucer reagovali, ta sloboda religija je samo jedna lijepa recenica na papiru sa kojim ti bukvalno mozes da guzicu obrises. Drugim rijecima ovdje nema slobode religija dok god ne vjerujes u ono sto mi vjerujemo!

62 *x= 3 600 000 000*x

~ au ~ 1 Comment

According to Oxfam the richest 62 people in the world owe as much as 3 600 000 000 poorest people in the world. These 62 people have increased their wealth with 542 billion dollars from 2010. The worst thing is that this difference increases. The rich ones become filthy rich while the others get poorer. The bizarre part is that except for the left parties and the communists the whole world seem to find that ok (or they say they are not ok with it but vote for people allowing it). People believe that is the way world works (?): Obviously, that is something we are supposed to believe. Especially, since the richest people control everything including what we see at TV. We are all indoctrinated to believe that it is possible for everyone to become so rich. We “just have to work hard, and have the bright ideas” and everyone of us will become one of these 62 people. I just say “yeah right and pigs do fly”. Unless you are born into the families of these 62 people you will never ever even come close to them, their richness and power.
Now I wonder who is actually the crazy one here? The communists and lefties (that are looked at as the devil in the church) that want everyone to have the same opportunities or the capitalists that finds it normal that 62 people own as much as 3 600 000 000 people… Sorry but can some one please explain that to me from the human point of view?160114173556-oxfam-wealth-inequality-780x439lamborgini  refugee
Po podacima od Oxfama 62 najbogatije osobe na svijetu imaju isto toliko kao sto 3 600 000 000 najsiromasnijih ljudi u svijetu. Od 2010 su ove 62 osobe povecali svoju imovinu za 542 milijarde dolara. Da bude jos gore ova razlika raste. Bogati postaju sve bogatiji a siromasni sve siromasniji. Bizarno je da, osim lijevice I komunista, svijet smatra da je to neko normalno stanje, da je to ok. Ocigledno je da smo indoktrinirani preko medija koje upravo ovi ljudi drze da svi mi mozemo postati tako bogati (i mocni). “Samo” trebamo puno raditi i imati dobre ideje. To je isto istinito koliko je i da “svinje mogu letiti”. Ako niste rodjeni u tu familiju nikada necete ni prismrditi tom bogatstvu a jos manje toj moci koje tih 62 ljudi imaju.
Tako da se sad pitam ko je ovdje lud? Komunisti i lijevica (koju inace ovdje gledaju kao djavola u crkvi) koja smatra da smo svi isti i da trebamo imati svi ista prava ILI kapitalisti kojima je to normalno da 62 osobe toliko imaju imovine kao sto ima 3 600 000 000? Da li mi neko moze objasniti to iz nekog ljudskog pogleda?

Bringing nature into the living room / Unijeti prirodu u dnevnu sobu

~ au ~ Leave a comment

The chilean artist Sebastian Errazuriz was out for a walk in Santiago in Chile, when he noticed and got inspired by a branch. Out of the branch he made this beautiful bookshelf bringing nature into the living room. The bookshelf got the name Bilbo after the street where the branch was found. Fascinating how simple things can be so beautiful 😀grenhylla880x660(ByMinScale_TopLeft_Transparent_True) Kad je čileanski umjetnik Sebastian Errazuris bio u šetnji u Santiagu (Čile) primjetio je jednu granu koju je ponijeo kući. Inspirisan, napravio je prelijepu policu za knjige s kojom je unio prirodu u dnevnu sobu. Polica je dobila ime Bilabo po ulici gdje je umjetnik našao. Fascinantno kako jednostavne stvari mogu biti lijepe 😀

Some time ago the blogger Krajiskinja that just moved to Germany asked about how veal rose is said in German. I found this “map” and hope this will help her out. Bon appetit!

Prije nekog vremena blogerica Krajiskinja je postavila pitanje na blogu kako se zove teleca ruza na njemackom. Nasla sam ovu sliku i nadam se da joj to moze sta pomoci. Prijano 😀

Stay above the rivers / Stanovanje iznad rijeka

~ au ~ Leave a comment

These houses do not yet exist but are planned to be built in 2017 in north Sweden. The project called Sápmi Jokk at Vindel river was started from the entrepreneur Christer Kvick, and these houses were designed by the architect Björn Ingridsson. They are supposed to function as a hotel with each house having two to four beds. I find the idea fantastic and immediately I was thinking of  all the rivers in Bosnia and how cool that would look like to walk above the river… especially if the floor would be transparent 😀  600x857(ByMinScale_TopLeft_Transparent_True) 700x457(ByMinScale_TopLeft_Transparent_True) brohus_puffOve kuce jos uvijek nisu napravljene ali su planirane do 2017 u sjevernoj Svedskoj. Projekat, zvani Sápmi Jokk, je startovan od preduzetnika Christer Kvick a kuce su dizajnirane od arhitekte Björn Ingridsson. Ideja je da ovo bude hotel gdje svaka kucica ima dvije do cetiri kreveta. Ideja mi je fantasticna i odmah sam pomislilla kako bi to izgledalo kad bi se setkala iznad rijeka…pogotovo kad bi pod bio proziran 😀

Some days are just exhausting / Neki dani su jednostavno naporni

My daughter has lately come into some weird phase. She wakes up in the middle of the night, and wants to play.  Then she sleeps until 9.30h and then again arount 16h and finally goes to bed at 23h!!! being drop dead tired. Sleeping at 23h one would think she will sleep long in the morning but nope. At 5.00h she wakes up full of energy. At 9.00h she is drop dead tired so she sleeps until 11h. Then she plays and falls asleep around 17.40h and wakes up at 21h. Please tell me it won´t last :/questions
Kcerka mi je usla u neku cudnu fazu. Budi se u sred noci i hoce da se igra. Onda zaspe i spava do 9.30h i ponovo zaspe oko 16h da bi u 23h legla za laku noc. Kad zaspe u 23h povjerovala bih da ce dugo spavati, ali se probudi u 5h puna energije. Do 9h. Tad crkne od umora pa odspava do 11h. I tako je danas izdrzala do 17.40h kad je pala maltene u nesvijest u krevet. Onda se opet u 21h probudi i igra…. Nek mi neko kaze da ovo nece trajati…

Positive things in Bosnia – natural creams / Pozitivne stvari u Bosni – prirodne kreme

~ au ~ Leave a comment

Already in Munich here is this last post about positive things in Bosnia ( I didn´t have the time to write until now).
In Bosnia everyone knows every possible receipt for all possible healthy teas, homemade facial masks, oils and so one. Therefore one can find relatively cheap natural cosmetics that are of very good quality. From the ones that I have tested I have developed some favorites. Dr. Pascha has a soap made of cinnamon which has an absolutely fantastic scent. When I have it I use it instead of shower gel because the skin doesn´t get dry.
Once a week or more often if I feel for it I use Ingea´s anti cellulites peppermint body peeling. My skin is very dry and after the peeling my body is re-hydrated AND I scent lovely I must say 😀 Another product from Ingea that I like is the face serum made of immortelle.  I like the scent and it feels like a  pure energy boost for the skin
This time I was in Bosnia I found out about Pharmamed. I bought their anti-wrinkle cream (hope dies last :P) and normal hydrant cream that are not creamy when put on the face AND they cost like 1/10 of the common well known creams which I do not find to any better. The only difference is the well-known houses have more luxurious package. Another good cream they provide is the almond cream for babies. I find it great and  my daughter obviously too because she always wants to eat it :/
In general I stick to my principles to buy local made products be it food or anything else for that matter so it would be of great interest to hear if there are any local made things that you prefer or suggest to buy when visiting your country?

Iako sam vec u Minhenu, pisem evo zadnji post pozitivnih stvari u Bosni (za ovaj put).
U Bosni svi znaju sve moguce recepte za domace cajeve, maske za lice, ulja itd. Zato se moze kupiti relativno jeftina kozmetika dobrog kvaliteta. Od onih koje sam ja isprobala nasla sam par favorita koje su cak (meni) bolje od poznatih kozmetickih kuca. Dr. Pasha ima fantasticno mirisljavi sapun od cimeta koji koristim umjesto dusgela i koji ne susi kozu.
Jednom sedmicno ili vise (ako mi je ceif) koristim anticelulitni peparmint peeling za tijelo od Ingea. Koza mi je jako suha pa se nakon peelinga moje tijelo osjeca rehidrirano i moram reci da divno mirisem 😀 Zato je ustvari i koristim 😀
Ovaj put kad sam bila u Bosni sam saznala za firmu Pharmamed i kupila sam njihovu protiv bora kremu (nada zadnja umire…) i normalnu rehidrantnu kremu. Ni jedna od njih nije bila masna kad sam ih stavila na kozu plus sto kostaju tipa 1/10 od krema iz poznatih kozmetickih kuca (koje iskreno i ne smatram nesto bolje, nije da ce mi bore nestati 😛 ) . Jedino sto ove poznate kuce imaju luksuznija pakovanja.
Inace se drzim principa da kupujem domace gdje god da dodjem bila to hrana ili neki drugi produkti, tako da bi bilo zanimljivo cuti od vas ako vi imate neke favorit produkte koje preporucujete da se kupe ako / kad se dodje u posjetu u vasu zemlju?

 

Impulsive spending / Skup ceif

~ au ~ 2 Comments

Today is the D-day for my little experiment! I have put a jar for my (and my husbands) expenses that are just impulsive bought stuff. When we buy something impulsive and unnecessary we have to put that amount of money in the jar. If we do not have the money at the moment we will write the sum on a paper (put it in the jar) and add the money later.
The reason I do this is that I have noticed that I lately buy a lot of unnecessary things spontaneously and therefore I decided to make it more obvious for me what sum it is about and that is best when I see the money in the jar. Things I buy are chocolates, cappuccino/ teas in cafes, cakes ( every day since months I have eaten a cake) and so on all the small things that turn into quite a sum in the end. I have decided to take more control of my (our) economy. One cannot save on the big sums like the rent or the food, but at least these small unnecessary things one can change and avoid buying through better planning (like avoiding to go to supermarket when hungry). Let the experiment begin 😀tegla
Danas je D-dan za moj mali eksperiment. Stavila sam teglicu za moje (i muzeve) bezvezne impulsivne troskov. Kad nesto potrosimo impulsivno ili nezdravo tu sumu stavljamo u teglu. Ako nemamo pare pri ruci onda tu sumu moramo na papiric napisati i staviti papir u teglu. Taj papir moramo za pare zamjeniti kad budemo imali novac kod sebe.
Razlog sto ovo radim je sto sam u zadnje vrijeme puno pocela trositi u sitnice kao cokolade, ”ispijanje kafa po kaficima”, kolace (vec mjesecima svaki dan jedem kolace) itd. Sve te sitnice se na kraju sakupe u jednu poprilicnu sumu. Odlucila sam da na taj nacin preuzmem barem dio kontrole nad nasom ekonomijom. Ne moze se na velikim racunima poput kirije ili  hrane stediti ali se zato moze na malim kostanjima stediti kroz bolje planiranje, kao sto je npr. da ne idemo u supermarket gladni 😀

Back in Munich / Nazad u Minhen

Travelling from Bosnia always gets me frustrated at the borders of Bosnia/Croatia and Croatia/ Slovenia. It is like people on the border are working slow on purpose thus making long queues on purpose. I get the feeling that it is their way of showing superior to Bosnians citizen, and the Bosnians on the other hand show inferior. I hate that feeling people project but there is nothing really I can do about it. Everyone has to fight or his own rights. Right?

This time it wasn´t these borders that made me angry. This time it was Germany´s border. Four tracks full of cars at the highway. All pulled to one track at the highway. It was last weekend after the long holidays so there where for sure a couple of hundred of cars forced into one track. First, we thought there had been an accident. Luckily, it wasn´t. There was the German border police standing at the side of the highway pointing with some spotlights into the cars. Seriously? They were looking at people in the car. What was that about? Stopping the refugees of entering the borders or what? I do not need that kind of pseudo control where citizens believe they are safe because a person points a lamp in my face. Can´t be that anyone is that stupid to believe that? If we and other EU-citizens truly want safety for us, the only way that will happen is to stop selling weapons to unstable (and other) countries and also stop interacting in the politics of these countries!

Kad se vracam iz Bosne uvijek se na granicama Bosna/Hrvatska, Hrvatska/Slovenija izfrustriram. Tamo kao da granicari namjerno sporo rade i tako stvaraju redove u nedogled. Imam osjecaj da hoce da se pokazu superiornima, a opet Bosanci to prihvate i kao da ih se boje, pokazuju se inferiornima. Mrzim taj osjecaj sto ljudi projiciraju ali opet u drugu ruku ne mogu tu nista. Svako se mora za svoja prava boriti. Zar ne?

Ovaj put se nisam toliko nervirala na nasim granicama nego na Njemackoj granici. Cetiri trake pune auta na autoputu, usmjerene na jednu traku. I to zadnji slobodni vikend nakon praznika. Znaci na stotine auta na putu koja su na jednu traku usmjerena. Bijase totalni zastoj saobracaja. Mislili smo prvo da se desila nesreca. Srecom nije, nego se njemacka granicka policija poredala pokraj autoputa sa svjetlima koja su usmjerila u auta, ko biva da nas vide. Vidjeli su oni da ne kazem sta. Sta hoce sa tim uopste? Da dadnu svojim gradjanima osjecaj sigurnost? Pa moras biti totalna budala da vjerujes u to. Meni ne treba neka pseudo kontrola gradjana da bih se ja osjecala sigurnom od izbjeglica koje su glavom bez obzira pobjegli iz svojih drzava. Svi imaju i trebaju da imaju pravo da traze bolji zivot. Ali ako vec hoce da im se EU-gradjani osjecaju sigurnijima onda je jedini nacin da se to ostvari da prestanu prodavati oruzje tim nestabilnim (a i ostalim) drzavama i nek se ne petljaju u politiku doticnih zemalja.
