Lazy Monday, huh...?

I was never a workaholic type. I used to love not doing shit all summer, stay up late and sleep till 12. I still like some days when you just do nothing at all. Have a breakfast in bed, watch a movie or two not having to worry about what time it is, sitting in your pijays with no make up and bad hair. Yeah.

But because I'm older now that modified a bit. I can't say that I finally appreciate the summer holidays I used to have when I was going to school, although I have my moments of missing them.
And now after having no summer holidays second year in a row I missed it a lot. Last year didn't work out with going anywhere because I was working and I was making waaay not enough money to afford going anywhere, even for a weekend. But now ever since I changed my job at the end of last year (can't believe it's almost a year there, Geeeez...) I could think about going somewhere this year. Except the money and time are not the only factors you need to actually plan a vacation. And because I'm a pack animal I like to have my people with me and nobody was able to go then. So another summer I spent at work. But it's ok, cause I got my vacation now. :)

Anyway, it's officialy the first day of my freedom from work. And I'm already dying. Of lazyness, not boredom. Don't get me wrong, they say that an intelligent person can never be bored and I guess I agree on that. But intelligent people get lazy as hell too and that's just me today. And to all of you who are sitting in the office today and working their asses off (don't hate - you already had your holidays while I was working, so go to hell!) - here is a list of things I did today:

1. I woke up at around 11:00. Hell yeah.

2. Fed the cats cause they were already trying to eat my fingers. And Muffy was just happy with the corner of her pillow. Poor orphan. 

3. Texted the Genius.

4. Went to kitchen to take a piece of my all time's favourite cake made by my mom (brought from home after Sunday's dinner ♥) and a bowl of cereals. 

5.  Got back to bed with my laptop on my knees. Browsing, browsing, browsing... accompanied by Alt-J  (∆) (listen to their amazingly awesome album here)

6. Pet one cat. Meow. Pet another one. Meow. 

7. Take cats from the leftovers after the cake. Yuck.

8. Planning on getting up: part 1. 

9. Watching Jenna Marbles' video. And another. And another.

10. Terminating Eddie's attempt to pee on the cover. Ew.

11. Planning on getting up: part 2. 

12. To do yoga or not to do. Hmm....

13. "Muscle to muscle and toe to toe..."

14. Successful attempt to get up. Yeah! Dinner..? ^^

15. Fuck dinner, coffee first!

Did someone say COFFEE??

Oh well. If you're a coffee addict like me and you don't drink it in the morning, which I'm always doing at work, around 3:00 PM you might start to feel your head. And it hurts. Better get that water boiling! :) 


PS.
There's only one problem with lazying around all day. Where's the fun in that when the one you want to lazy around with needs to work...? ♥

Keep calm and get ready for the trip of your life

So we've all been places. We have possibilities to get anywhere in the world. Some trips cost more money, some more time and efford to even arrange. But the best trips are to places you've always dreamt about visiting.

The biggest poblem is that no matter how long you prepare for them it's never enough. And because my dream destination is a place that most of my friends have already been to I need to ask this.

I want to know all about what you think one MUST see/do/eat/experience etc. but only apart from the obvious picks. I'm thinking small cafes in corner streets, little galleries, second hand shops, local deliciousness and so on.
I'm taking my personal Tour Guide with me to show me the old goods but that's just not enough. :)

I'm also trying to figure out a list of things to take. The problem is I've never been good in doing those. Besides, how does one know what to take with them to their dream place?  If you have any essential advices, please - be my guest.

Let's get ready! It's only 6 days left! :)))

Just jump.

So I've been off for a while. Everybody does that now and then. And there's no point in thinking why was that as the reasons for this are so numerous that I wouldn't even know where to begin with. It's still me in my big room. Me and two cats. Everything is the same. But at the same time so very different.

They say everything happens for a reason. I like to think so too. How stupid would it be if people would just randomly bump into your life without leaving any trace of their presence behind? There's of course always a risk of getting hurt by someone. But the case here is on both sides. And the most important thing to learn in life is to take from what people give you the best for yourself and move on. Often it will seem that there is no good they're giving but you can never be more wrong. If you think about it even your worst enemy taught you something valuable even if you don't realise that just yet.

Don't be too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes. But for me there is no other way to learn than the hard way. I said earlier that everything is the same. Well. I guess I lied. Because as days go by I realise how much better everything is. 

One day can turn your life upside down. And if it's good for you, if it makes you smile like an idiot for no reason, if it makes you feel insanely sane and everything you do suddenly brings you joy again, GO FOR IT.

Cause sometimes all you have to do is jump. 

And see where you freefall.

Best things happen by accident.

Every night is a perfect night for a perfect night. If you know what I mean.

If you are not living in your hometown anymore, just like me, there is not many things better to do after evening workshift than having someone born in the city to give you a tour. In the middle of the night. Or at early morning when after hours of walking you still don't feel sleepy enough to go to bed and you just want to keep on going. Not thinking about the past, not thinking about the future. Just you, your mate and your legs.

Sit by the lake at midnight and stare into the nightsky. Look at the stars and try not to think that they're just huge flaming gas balls but something much more.

Go see the sunrise at 4 o'clock, watch the city from a completely different angle and walk to the first opening bakery to get fresh buns and feel the smell of still hot bread on the shelves.

Let yourself drown in the stories you hear about the places you visit, whether they're new or already spotted. Absorb as much as you can as, trust me, everything is important.

Take a walk to the furthest McDonald's just to have a cup of their delicious white coffee, trying to do your best effort not to buy anything sweet and tasty from the eating menu. Repress that need! I know it's hard - been there, done that. :P

Take the long way back home and enjoy every step, even though your legs are probably killing you right now. Laugh hard until you feel your muscles hurt. And smile. Smile as much as you can.

And be grateful. Be grateful for everything people give you. All the good and the shit, the messed up parts and the moments of pure joy and bliss.  Everyone has something unique to give to you, whether you want it or not. Take handful of every piece you can. Good can be bad and the other way around, it's only up to you what you do with it.

Thank you, S.R. ♥

The little goods and evils

Welcome to the first edition of "The Little Goods and Evils". Without further ado, let's roll it.

1. Shoes on sale before the payday. 

2. All Selena Gomez' outfits in video to "I love you like a love song".

3. Big Baba Cupcakes.

4. Hayley Williams' amazingly heavenly voice during ALL Paramore songs.

5. Cats trying to steal your food.

By the way, what are your favorite Goods and Evils? Let me know! :)

Breathe in. And breathe out.

There is a place here in Kato from which you can see people walk by just beneath your feet (if only you let them hang). You can sit there for hours and just observe them. Believe me or not, you would be able to count those who look up at you on the fingers of your hands.
That actually made me think... Why is it that people don't look up anymore?

We're so caught up in looking as straight as possible not to let our goals out of our sight for even a split second that we don't even remember why we're doing all this.
We long forgot what it feels like to hit our head into something solid just because we were admiring the beautiful sky above us.

There is something enigmatic in the evening sky. Actually there's something enigmatic in the sky at all times of day. But the evening sky is the one that makes you... think. There's something pristine and immaculate in that view, never mind if it's huge dark thunder clouds or delicate feathery dust on the blue background. It brings flashbacks of the passing day, brings back memories and rewinds the song you've been listening to all day.
But it's also a metaphor. A metaphor of every choice you make in your life. It reminds us that every minute our life changes, with or without our knowledge, and the decisions we make have a huge impact on it. It also reminds us that no matter how much we wish we can do nothing to make the clouds look like they did 2 minutes ago.

So just breathe in. And breathe out. And look up as often as possible. Never forget why you're doing all this. The clock is ticking. :)

Sunday, bloody Sunday...

It ain't easy being a cat on rainy day.

That could've easily been one of my cats. 

I hate Sundays. I think it's with no doubt the least liked by me day of the week. Even Monday is better. At least it passes by faster that Sunday. To pile up the laziness of this wretched day, there's not many things in the world worse than rainy Sunday. On days like that the best thing to do is just follow your cat/s. What they'd do is just go to sleep, cause what else can you do? 

And you're gonna use some sleep during the day anyway cause they're gonna wake you up with the ass crack the dawn. Thank you so much for that.

They say life gets better as you go along. That's one of the biggest pieces of bullshit I've heard in my life.

When a day like this ends if all you want is something different than lying under the covers or a blanket with a mug of hot chocolate or delicious tea then you're a fucking weirdo to me.

Bonne nuit!
