First step / Prvi korak

March 9, 2015March 9, 2015 ~ au ~ 2 Comments

And so it happened 🙂 A small step for mankind, a giant leap for Ada. She took her first two steps and fell done on her face quite ungraciously. She was tough and continued practising to stand up and to “walk”. It is amazing how fast she is developing. I cannot imagine if human kind would have developed further in that speed where would our society be.

I desilo se 🙂 Jedan mali korak za covjecanstvo, a ogromni skok za Adu. Napravila je prva dva koraka i prostrla se kao tepih. Ali kako se ne predaje nastavila je vjezbati stojanje i “hodanje”. Nevjerovatno je kako se brzo razvija. Ne mogu a da ne zamislim kako bi nase drustvo izgledalo da smo se nastavili tako razvijati. Gdje bi mi bili…

First time / Prvi put

March 7, 2015 ~ au

Today my little sunshine decided she is strong enough to stand alone. I was caught by surprised and I got so proud 🙂 Unfortunately I didn’t catch her facial expression the moment she was standing. She was so happy, proud and surprised. My little fighter 🙂

Danas je Ada odlucila da je dovoljno jaka da stane sama na noge. Iznenadila sam se i postala sam tako ponosna 🙂 Nazalost nisam uspijela uslikati njezinu facu kad je uspijela stati. Bila je tako sretna, ponosna i iznenadjena. Moj mali borac 🙂

Kumovanje / Birthday celebration…

March 1, 2015March 1, 2015 ~ au ~ 1 Comment

In some parts of Bosnia there is a tradition when the child gets one year old to cut the hair and thus the person doing it becomes the godmother/godfather of the child. Since, the parts where my husband comes from does not have it I had free hands to choose the Pate 🙂 Usually, one selects the best friend or someone they know will buy nice gifts (though this is not usually admitted officially). I adapted this tradition to fit me and chose my best friend and someone that I know buys good gifts (who can be a better friend or buy better gifts than a sister / brother :))…My sister got the honor this time because she is the older one 😉

U nasim krajevima Bosne kad dijete napuni godinu dana bude i kumovanje. Znaci po prvi put se dijete nastrgne- sisa. Po propisu to se izabere dobar prijatelj ili prijateljica ili kako to kod nekih biva izaberes nekog dobrostojeceg “prijatelja/prijateljicu” 😛 Ja sam te propise prilagodila sebi. Izabrala sam svog najboljeg prijatelja (prijateljicu) a i nekog sto znam da ce dobar poklon kupiti :P… znaci koga drugog izabrati nego sestru ili brata. Sestru sam izabrala jer je starija.

The oldest and the youngest guests. My grandmother with her great-granddaughter.

Najstariji i najmladji gosti .

Thank you auntie for your wonderful gift.

Hvala tetka na predivnom poklonu

Many thanks to Amira Sadis that baked this wonderful cake. /
Hvala Amiri Sadic koja je napravila ovu prelijepu i ukusnu tortu.

Happy birthday my little sunshine

Today was an unusual day 🙂 Hipp hipp Hurra 🙂
One year ago my little sunshine was born. She started the (to)day by saying “tkatkatkatka”… and I got so proud of her “talking” hehe… In the evening my sisters children & boyfriend, my brother & his girlfriend and my husbands brother met spontaneously at our place for the cake… except it turned out to be a real dinner. I love meeting with the family
.

Danas je bio jedan neobican dan. Moje malo sunce je slavilo prvi rodjendan. Dan je pocela sa tkatkatkata… a ja odmah ponosna kako “prica” hehe. Navecer su sestrina djeca i momak, brat s djevojkom i brat od muza dosli spontano na tortu, ali se to pretvorilo u pravu veceru. Srce mi je na mjestu kad smo tako svi na okupu…

My sisters daughter helped out with the unwrapping…
Sestrina kcerka je pomagala sa otvaranjem poklona…

The children want to blow the candle out…PZ is doing it great making PA want to try it too, but it was very difficult 🙂 We repeated it a couple of times until he lost his interest 🙂

Djeca su htjela da ispusu svijece… PZ je to super uradila, sto je navelo PA da isto to proba. Ponovili smo to par puta dok nije izgubio interes za tim 🙂

This picture is special for me… Total hypnosis…

Ova mi je slika nesto posebno… Totalna hipnoza…

Torta

February 24, 2015February 24, 2015 ~ au

Taman prosle jake prehlade… i sta me strefi??? Virus stomaka. “Perfektno”. Srecom proslo nakon dva dana, ali mi ubilo motivaciju. Sto pise hathor, tek kad izgubis zdravlje vidis sta je najbitnije. Ili kako su to pametni kinezi davno rekli. Zdrav covjek ima hiljadu zelja a bolestan samo jednu.

Sestra ima jednu prekrasnu kcerkicu P-Z (i sina, ali prica je o njoj sada). Tako je medena da se odmah nasmijem kad pomislim na nju. Nas dobar prijatelj ima mamu koja pravi fantasticne torte (ne primam proviziju za prodaju ;)) i napravila je ona tortu i poklonila PZ. Ona me nazvala i rekla “tetka, danas slavim rodjendan. Hocu da dodjes prije nego sto je mrak pao. Cao!” . Rodjendan joj je inace tek tamo iza ljeta,ali smo morali otici na tortu. I stvarno sam bila fascinirana ko dodje uopste na ideju da napravi ovakvu tortu 🙂

… napokon i ja da uspijem preko mobitela sliku ubaciti. … yeah:D

Reš pečeni mobitel

February 3, 2015 ~ au ~ 4 Comments

Ima onih dana kad je bolje da si jednostavno ostao u krevetu, gdje maltene sve pogrešno ide. Takav je danas bio dan mom bratu. Šta smo se god dogovarali pogrešno ispade. Ispadne mu i telefon u snijeg i postane vlažan, i tako odluči da stavi u rernu… Uključi rernu da se malo ugrije i ugasi i stavi telefon da se osuši. Inače to čak i funkcioniše , da nije mene bilo… Ja nisam to vidjela, iako mi je rekao, nisam to registrovala. Nešto mi bi hladno i onako bezeve uključim rernu jer brzo ugrije sve. I okrenem na 250 stepeni. U međuvremenu se brat kupao. I kad je završio uđe u kuhinju da vidi šta radim i skonta da je upaljena rerna i pita gdje sam stavila mobitel? A ja zbunjeno pitam, kakav mobitel, i onda ga izvadi iz rerne…što je najgore to mu je mobitel s posla tako da me baš zanima kako će sutra šefu objasniti da mu je sestra ispekla tel… 🙂

Emergency / Hitna

January 9, 2015 ~ au

Yesterday night was tough. Some people where shocked about the killings in Paris, some not. My biggest problem was my kid. Suddenly in the night she started coughing like an old man, gasping for air. She panicked and had even more difficulties breathing. Her parents panicked too. We took her to one emergency and met my ex-colleague that explained they do not take care of small children. So we took off to the next hospital. My colleague was working night so I told him I hope you are not bored tonight, realizing later that in an emergency it is better for everyone if the doctors are bored. Talk about stupid comment… I am still embarrassed. At the next hospital we met a very nice doctor explaining that she has a viral infection probably Krupp, so at 2h o´clock we headed off home. Talk about a tough night…

This is how the cough sounds

ovako zvuci taj kasalj

Prekosinoc nam je bil0a onako teska noc. Neki su bili sokirani oko ubistava u Parizu, neki nisu. Moj najveci problem je bio moje dijete. Odjednom je navecer pocela kasljati kao stari did, hvatajuci zrak. Panika je uhvatila pa je jos teze disala. A i roditelji su joj paniku dobili. Odvezli smo je do hitne gdje moj bivsi radni kolega objasnio da ne primaju djecu tu, nego moramo u drugu kliniku. Rekla sam mu nadam se da ti nece biti predosadna noc, i skontala poslije da kad doktor radi u hitnoj da je bolje za svakoga da je doktoru dosadna noc …bas sam glup komentar izjavila …sramota me i sada. Uglavnom u drugoj klinici smo sreli finog doktora koji je objasnio da nam dijete ima Krup, neku virusnu infekciju. I tako oko 2.00h smo krenuli kuci, Bas je bila naporna noc.

In my world…/ U mom svijetu

In my world people don´t kill because of some cartoons/ U mom svijetu ljudi ne ubijaju zbog stripova

In my world people treat each other with respect despite having different religions./ U mom svijetu ljudi respektiraju jedno drugo iako vjeruju u razlicite religije.

In my world religion is a phantasy that people need for various reasons, and that´s ok./ U mom svijetu je religija fantazija koja je ljudima zbog raznih razloga potrebna, i to je meni ok.

In my world a real journalist opens up the eyes and hearts of people making them understand each other and love each other not hate each other. / U mom svijetu pravi zurnalista otvori oci i srca ljudima i uci ih da razumiju jedno druge i da jedno drugo vole a ne da mrze jedno drugo.

So why do I have the feeling of being lonely in my world???/ Zasto se onda osjecam usamljena u mom svijetu???

Chrystal museum/ Muzej Kristala

December 25, 2014 ~ au

I just remembered the crystal museum that I and my mother visited a year ago. It was so interesting. We learned that there are only two pieces of emeralds that are this big (one in Munich one in Russia) that haven’t been used for making jewels (at least that is how I understood it). This piece is in Munich thanks to Mr. Leuchtenberg that was married to the Russian empress. He was collecting gemstones and minerals and thanks to his wife he was the first to explore the mines in Russia when opened. Mr. Leuchtenberg had a great collection in Munich. In second world war the workers at his museum/collection suspected that the collection would be destroyed and stories are told that they were coming at work with lunchboxes and going home with gemstones/ minerals from the collection. Unfortunately, the workers were right. The collection got bombed and 60-70% of the collection was ruined. Thanks to the workers bringing the pieces home around 150 000 pieces got rescued. Here are the most impressive and beautiful pieces. I was fascinated by the gold (of course) but also of the stones that changed colors when illuminated with UV-light.

Sjetih se muzej kristala i minerala kojeg smo posjetile ja i mama prije nekih godinu dana. Bio jako zanimljiv. Saznale smo da na svijetu ima samo dva eksemplara ovog velikog smaragda koji nisu iskoristili da bi napravili nakit. Jedan je u Rusiji a drugi je zahvaljujuci gosp. Leuchtenberger u Minhenhu ( na slici). Gosp. Leuchtenberger je bio oženjen ruskom caricom i samim tim je prvi imao dostup rudama koje su bile otvarane. Sakupljao je dragocjeno kamenje i minerale i svoju kolekciju je u Minhenu držao. Kuratori koji su radili u njegovom muzeju su shvatili da je pitanje samo vremena prije nego sto počnu bombardirati tu dragocjenu kolekciju. Kuratori su ispričali kako su ujutro dolazili sa ruckom u tasni a navečer sa dragocijenim kamenjem te mineralima isli kuci. Kuratori su (na zalost) bili u pravu. Bombardovanjem uništeno je između 60-70% kolekcije. Kuratori su uspjeli spasiti oko 150 000 primjeraka kroz to sto su nosili kuci dijelove kolekcije. Ovo su (meni) najljepši eksemplari. Fascinirana sam bila sa zlatom (naravno) ali pogotovo sa kamenjem koje posvijeljeno uv/iv crvenim svijetlom pa svijetu skroz drugom bojom.

Medival fair in pictures/ Srednjovijekovna pijaca u slikama

December 20, 2014 ~ au

Yesterday I visited the medival christmas fair with a friend and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I was quite fascinated that someone comes up with the idea to make chocolate tools or all these tapers made of bees wax. Looked lovely. My favorite is the chocolate dipped banana:) Here are some pictures from the fair.

Posjetila sam srednjovijekovnu pijacu sa prijateljicom i uživala u lijepom vremenom. Bila sam fascinirana kako se neko sjeti praviti čokoladu u obliku alata ili svijeće od pčelićnog voska. Izgledale su lijepo. Moj favorit je ipak banana polivena čokoladom 🙂 Evo par slika sa pijace.
