Yesterday there was a very interesting documentary about the birth of Islam and how it affected the world the coming centuries. It was interesting to see how important science was to the society and how a group of persistent people can destroy a way of thinking throwing nations in development stagnation. What I missed in the movies was that they didn´t explain why negative things happened or how connected politics from western world was involved. In any case it was still an nice documentary (in German though) that I recommend to see.

Sinoc sam gledala jako interesantne dokumentarce o nastanku islama i kako je islam promijenio drustvo slijedecih vijekovima. Zanimljivo je kako je tad bila bitna nauka u drustvu i kako su grupa uporni ljudi uspijeli da uniste to, samim tim bacajuci drustvo u stagnaciju razvoja. To sto mi je nedostajalo u filmu je da nisu objasnjavali zasto su se desile neke negativne stvari i na koji nacin su povezani politicki dogadjaji iz zapadnog svijeta. Ipak smatram da je ovaj dokumentarac dobar za pogledati … iako je na njemackom.

 

Ettlingen

~ au

Ettlingen is a small picturesque town next to Karlsruhe that we visited this beautiful day. Our little princess didn´t mind the town and the buildings too much but it was the fountain that was the fun part of the trip 😀

Ettlingen je jedan mali lijepi gradic nedaleko od Karlsruhe, kojeg smo iskoristili da vidimo kad je bio vrijeme bilo pogodno. Naravno nasu malu princezu to nije bas previse zanimalo. Njoj je najinteresantnija bila fontana, sta su ti djeca 😀

Karlsruhe Zoo / Zoloski vrt u Karlsruhe

~ au

Yesterday I took a break of a couple of hours, ( from looking for our passports- can´t find them anywhere :/),  and went to the Karlsruhe zoo with my family and a couple of friends and their children. I loved the zoo.  It is cute and lies in the middle of the city somehow. There is also plenty of place just to sit on the grass if feeling for it (great when it is above 25 degrees). There are also a very nice playgrounds for the children. But most important was that they had the ice bear.. that is not sleeping.

20160522_130545_resizedJucer sam par sati odmora uzela, (od trazenja pasosa, nigdje ih nema), i otisla sam u sa familijom i prijateljima i njihovom djecom u Karlsruhe zoloski vrt. Zoloski vrt mi se pravo svidio. Bas je fino napravljen i nekako je u sred centra (kako sam ja skontala). Ima isto mnogo mjesta za izlezavanje ako to zelis – sto je super kad je iznad 25 stepeni. Ima i dobri igralista za djecu. Ali najvaznije je bilo da smo vidjeli polarnog medvjeda koji ne spava nego se kupao i igrao 🙂

Losing the goal / Gubiti cilj

~ au

The last couple of weeks I feel  I have somehow lost my goals. I do not like it at all. Having no goals makes me feel like sitting in a boat in the middle of a sea having no oars to keep a direction AND I just float around wherever the sea takes me. I hate that feeling. I have never understood people without goals. Knowing me, having no goals, means just doing nothing and the time just passes by. Seriously, what does a person having no goals do in her life? How do you live having no goals at all in life? For me I just feel more eager now to get a blackboard where I can write down my goals to be able to focus. My brain is spinning like crazy trying to focus…I just hope that I will be back on track soon so I can sleep in peace.07917a2(prevod: Zivot bez cilja je kao trka bez cilja (trcis nigdje)
Zadnjih par sedmica imam osjecaj da sam izgubila svoje ciljeve. To mi se uopste ne svidja. Nemati ciljeve u zivotu mi daje osjecaj kao da sjedim u sred mora u nekom brodicu bez vesle da mogu upravljati, i tako samo plutam tamo gdje me voda odnese. Mrzim taj osjecaj. Ne razumijem apsolutno ljude koji nemaju nikakav cilj u zivotu. Poznavajuci sebe, ako nemam neki cilj to sve zavrsi na tome da nista ne radim…a vrijeme prolazi. Ozbiljno, sta ljudi bez ciljeva rade u zivotu? Kako zive bez ciljeva u zivotu?
Sad samo jos vecu potrebu osjecam da imam jednu veliku crnu tablu na koju mogu pisati svoje ciljeve tako da se mogu fokusirati. Moj mozak mi je na trista koliko probava da se fokusira na neki cilj… Nadam se da ce mi se uskoro ciljevi iskristalizirati da mogu mirno spavati…

Unbelievable gift – a new bathroom / Nevjerovatan poklon – novo kupatilo

~ au

Have you ever renovated an apartment? For the ones that have done it they will understand the tremendous gift and love that makes a person do this for an another person.
I haven´t had internet for ages, making me completely detached from the world the last month meaning also no contact with my family.  During that time my little sister had organized to renovate my bathroom in the apartment in Solna as a surprise. Can you imagine the surprise? I couldn´t believe that someone would do this for me. I would be afraid to do that to anyone. I would be afraid that I will mess up something. But my sister did it perfect!
My gratitude has no words. I love you dear sister!IMG-20160508-WA0028 IMG-20160508-WA0029 IMG-20160508-WA0030 IMG-20160508-WA0031 IMG-20160508-WA0032Da li ste ikada renovirali stan? Za one koje jesu, razumijece koji je to nevjerovatan poklon i koja je to ljubav kad jedna osoba uradi nesto tako nekome.
Nisam imala internet vec preko mjesec dana, sto me totalno odsjeklo od svijeta i samim tim i od moje familije. Moja sestra je taj period iskoristila da organizuje da se kupatilo u mom stanu u Solni renovira. Mozete li samo zamisliti koje je to iznenadjenje bilo? Ja to prosto ne mogu da vjerujem, jer mene bih strah bio da tako nesto njoj uradim. Bojala bih se da necu nesto jos pokvariti. Ali moja sestra je to perfektno odradila. Moja zahvalnost nema rijeci. Volim te seko!

 

Ada needs shoes! / Adi trebaju cipele

~ au ~ 2 Comments

Today, Ada told me “Ada needs shoes”. I guess she decided that she needs new shoes so we went to the city to look at some shoes. I thought by the time we arrive there, she will forget about shoes but no! She insisted to go to a shoe store and she decided which shoes she wants and after that she refused to take them off. I was amazed that a two year old child is so stubborn in such a thing. I would understand if it where chocolate or candies. But shoes? However, the shoes where cute and she did need summer shoes so I wanted to make her day better and decided to buy the shoes 😀 skor20160504_181301 20160504_173112Danas je Ada mi je danas rekla “Adi trebaju nove cipele”. Valjda je to odlucila, tako da smo otisle do grada da gledamo cipele. MIslila sam da ce Ada zaboraviti za cipele dok dodjemo u grad…ali nije. Insistirala je da odemo u prodavnicu cipela. Kad smo usle u prodavnicu ona je za pet minuta vec odlucila koje ce i vise ih nije htjela skinuti. Nisam mogla vjerovati da jedno dijete od dvije godine moze biti toliko uporno. Haj da se radi o slatkisima I cokoladicama. To bih shvatila. Ali cipele? Kako su Adi stvarno trebale ljetne cipelice, a I bile su bas slatke odlucim da joj ipak uljepsam dan i kupim joj ih 😀

Karlsruhe moving stress / Karlsruhe stres selidbe

~ au

First my husband waits for months to move to Karlsruhe and then suddenly it happens on a three days notice. Talk about stress. There where some guys from a company packing all the things and the whole apartment was cleared empty in one day. Like no one has ever lived there before. It felt quite sad. In Karlsruhe, the same guys should have unpacked but there where other guys that came instead. So now there are 90 packages with things and no one knows what is inside each of them. The kitchen is not set up yet, so some 50 packages cannot be unpacked. In any case it is for sure that one should move every couple of years to get rid of unnecessary things…20160426_201331_resized 20160426_184157_resizedPrvo muz mjesecima ceka da se preseli za Karlsruhe i onda se odjednom sve desi u toku tri dana. Koji stres. Neki momci su iz neke firme citav stan bukvalno spakovali za dan. I ostao je stan kao da niko nikada tamo nije zivio. Osjecaj je bio pomalo tuzan. U Karlsruhe, isti momci su istovarili sve i trebali su da ispakuju sve…ali nisu tako da sad ima nekih 90 kutija i gdje nemamo pojma gdje su stvari. Kuhinja jos nije postavljena tako da nekih 50 paketa ne moze ispakovati. U svakom slucaju sam skontala da covjek svako malo treba da se seli da bi se nepotrebnih stvari rijesio…

 

 

Best soup in Munich / Najbolja supa u Minhenu

~ au

Is the Maschau soup in the Afghani restaurant Nigin. It is delicious. I hadn´t been at Nigin for ages so it was really nice to go visit the place again. Definitively a place to eat lunch/ dinner if visiting Munich.20160419_151255Definitivno najbolja supa u Minhenu je po meni Maschau supa i afganskom restoranu. Nigin. Nisam tamo bila sto godina tako da je vrijeme bilo opet otici. Nigin je definitivno jedno mjesto za rucak/ veceru ako ste u posjeti u Minhenu.

Frustracija /Frustration

je kad kupis novi kompjuter, pa ti internet nestane 12 dana. Kad ti napokon internet proradi onda odjednom kompjuter nece da se prikopca na internet. Arghhhh!Stress And Frustrationit is when one buys a new computer and the internet breaks done for 12 days. When that is finally fixed then suddenly my new computer doesn’t want to connect to the internet. Arghhhh 🙁

unplugged / Iskljucena

~ au

Some say it is healthy to “detox” from internet. I guess they are right. I am doing it right now even if that is not really what I want. After having a computer break down, I have now great computer but no internet since days. Today,  I heard that is because some guys at Telecom are in strike, and that can take some more days until I get my internet back. Detox ? Yes, but only after psychological preparation…over and out! Screenshot_2016-04-06-22-02-33~2Neki kazu da je zdravo ici na “detoks”. Sigurno su u pravu. Upravo sam sad na detoksu iako to nije samovoljno. Nakon sto mi je kompjuter crko, imam sad novi kompjuter koji ne koristim jer vec danima nemam internet. Danas sam cula da je razlog sto iz telekoma strajkuju i da ce jos potrajati :/Detoks? Da, ali samo nakon priprema psihicki…ovako je to brate horor.
