Vianočky na trhu, part 1.

Sometimes it's hard to capture the moment, but sometimes pictures just speak for us.

I hope my case is gonna be the second option as I was trying and snapping everything I saw and tasted the other day in Dresden Christmas Market.

For everyone Germany represents something else. The top cars, beer, science and education? For me, Germans are the best in doing Christmas! Especially Christmas atmosphere in the proper x-mas market - oh the best!

So girls and I got into a car and in less than 2 hours we were in Dresden! Here you can see some of the delights we've seen and tried, the rest is coming tomorrow:)

Niekedy je tazke zachytit ten spravny moment, ale niekedy to ide velmi lahko a fotky hovoria same za nas. Ja dufam, ze mojim pripadom bude ta druha moznost, lebo vcera som sa snazila co to dalo, aby som vsetko co sme videli a ochutnali odfotila a zachytila tu pravu vianocnu atmosferu na vianocnom trhu v Drazdanoch.

Nemecko pre kazdeho reprezentuje nieco ine. Bud su to skvele auta, pivo, mozno veda a vzdalanie? Pre mna su to jednoznacne Vianoce, pretoze si myslim, ze tu pravu vianocnu atmosferu nezozeniete nikde inde len v Nemecku (a Rakusku).

A tak sme sa 4 dievcata rozhodli, ze tento rok pojdeme pozriet vianocne trhy v Drazdanoch. Nasadli sme do auta a o necele 2 hodiny sme boli na tom carovnom mieste! Co sa dialo potom, Vam snad povedia fotky a zvysok zajtra!

Samozrejme Gluehwein bola nasa prva zastavka v krasnom hrnceku, ktory som si samozrejme doniesla domov! Dievcata ochutnali malinove vino, ja som ostala pri tradicnom.

Proooost!

4 vianocky na trhu!

and the very first window is opened!

December finally arrived and I could open the first window on my advent calendar as a very first thing this morning!  Kinder always brings love to my tummy so I guess I couldn't be happier:) Girls and I are off to Dresden to import some x-mas spirit! Will definitely keep you posted! PS: Happy birthday to my dear friend Zuzka!!!
Tak som sa konecne dockala a prisiel december a s nim aj prve okienko na mojom adventnom kalendari, co bola uplne prva vec, ktoru som dnes rano urobila! Dnes sa s dievcatami chystame do Drazdan, aby sme tu doniesli nejaku tu vianocnu naladu a hrncek z vareneho vina :)

the 2nd luckiest day this year

Today is officially my second luckiest day this year! After fighting TicketMaster for more than one hour this morning I managed to get tickets for Robbie Williams: Take the Crown Tour 2013!!! So Petra and I will be somewhere down there in the audience, creaming and singing with other 60.000 (!!!) people in Vienna next summer!  If I am excited? Boy, can't explain!  So we have 8 months left to learn every new song by heart and physically and mentally as well get ready for the experience of a lifetime. Who's in with us?
Dnes je oficialne moj druhy najstastnejsi den tohto roku! Po tom, co som rano viac ako hodinu bojovala s TicketMaster a snazila sa nam zohnat listky na Robbieho Williamsa, si mozem pogratulovat, lebo su v kapse! A tak sa mozeme zacat tesit na Robbie Williams: Take the Crown Tour 2013!!! Petra a ja budeme skandovat, spievat a tlieskat spolu s dalsimi 60.000 (!!!) fanusikmi buduce leto vo Viedni.

x-mas cards

Today was exactly one of those days when I've decided that it's a high time I picked up some x-mas cards! Usually I try to make them on my own and personalize them for everyone close to my heart, but this time with nights longer and longer due to my studies, it's impossible. So I headed to my favorite shop, where you can get quantity and quality wrapped up in one package, not to mention economical reasons...  So I entered Marks&Spencer and once again couldn't decide on which to take and which to leave, so went for jelly and jolly Santas, which in my opinion are SO cute. Those ones who will receive them in your mailbox some time pretty soon, please act as you've never read this post - I don't wanna spoil you surprise! What about you? Are you as old school as I am and still send paper x-mas cards? Or you prefer e-mails? Let me know about new trends in mailing - haha - all ears! 
Dnesok mozeme nazvat dnom, kedy som sa uz konecne odhodlala a sla kupit vianocne pozdravy! Zvycajne si ich sama vyrabam, ale tieto Vianoce, aj napriek tomu, ze moje noci su stale dlhsie a dlhsie, co ma za nasledok medzi inymi aj ekonomia, to jednoducho nestiham. A tak som sa rozhodla pre plan B, a sice ist pozriet co maju u Marka a Spencera! Ked skombinujem kvalitu a kvantitu, pride mi to ako najlepsie riesenie, v tomto ekonomicky narocnom case Vianoc.

dear friend

Where are you weekend? Is it too early that I want it back? It seems that this lovely afternoon with coffee and a blueberry muffin happened AGES ago and I DO MISS IT already!

I don't know where and WHY is time running so FAST, but my days are shorter and shorter, it's darker, I am replacing dinners with drinks, breakfast with cups of coffees and lunches with... actually with nothing, I still LOVE to eat lunch!

As I've already wrote here, I've spent Friday afternoon with my friend Petra. But before we went so check Christmas market, we stayed in Starbucks for a while and she brought me these lovelies:

It's a pin and a necklace and look extremely cool! And the best thing? SHE MADE IT!!!

My BIGGEST thanks to you!

first x-mas lights

First x-mas lights arrived to Prague and I was happy to discover them with my friend Petra.

Writing about x-mas today as it is 24th November, which leaves us only with 1 full month for shopping, preparation and wrapping the presents up!

Have you already started yet? Or leaving it for later on?

Share your ideas :)

Prve vianocne svetielka dorazili uz aj do Prahy a ja som mala to statie, ze mi ich ukazala moja kamoska Peta.

Specialne dnes pisem znovu o Vianociach, nakolko je 24.novembra, z coho vyplyva, ze mame presne 1 mesiac na to, aby sme vymysleli, nakupili a zabalili vianocne darceky!

Zacali ste uz s vianocnymi nakupmi? Alebo si ich odkladate na neskor?

Podelte sa o svoje dojmy a pojmy :)

23 and 1/4

It seems to me like yesterday when we were celebrating my 22 and 1/4 b-day (don't ask about this absurd tradition, I'll tell you once)! And now, one year later, nothing much has changed. Just that I'm not with you guys anymore, not in Berlin and certainly not 22 and 1/4!!! Am I wiser, smarter, better, crazier or maybe prettier? Who knows, well maybe crazier - I can definitely agree on that. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing my memories for the last year and most of all being part of them! It means a lot to me! Last but not least I'd like to thanks my friends with who I was pancaking today. You made me one delicious 1/4 b-day. Only shame it couldn't be in Mein Haus am See ;-) PS: Fede thanks for taking this picture!
Zda sa mi to ako by to bolo len vcera, ked som v Berline oslavovala svoje 22 a 1/4 narodeniny (to ako vznikla tato blazniva tradicia Vam poviem niekedy inokedy)! A teraz, o rok neskor, nezda sa mi ze by sa toho az tak vela zmenilo. Akurat uz nie som v Berline, neoslavujem to s mojimi nemeckymi kamosmi a hlavne uz nemam 22 a 1/4!!! Mozem si povedat, ze som mudrejsia, sikovnejsia, lepsia, sialenejsia alebo azda krajsia? Asi nie - pokial sa ale nejedna o to, ci som sialenejsia, lebo to asi ano!

spot of a brother

Do you know why is it advantageous to have a sibling?  Because you don't have to make any track of your records and acts in your life, you can see everything on your baby bro or sis. It's like looking into a mirror! So yeah, this is me and my bro messing around with our fav "lach gummi" candies. Blame it on the moon! Experiencing the same?
Viete preco je vyhodne mat mladsieho surodenca? No lebo si nemusite robit absolutne ziadne zapisky alebo denniky, kazda blbost co ste kedy urobili sa odzrkadli na vasom surodencovi, ktory zopakuje aj to posledne, a tak sa potom pozerate ako do zrkadla!

family heritage

Everyone and everything nowadays is about beanie. So I've decided to give it a try, dig in my parents wardrobe and found this! My dad's hat when he was a teen. My mum refused to let me leave the house with this on my head, but oh well it happened and I like it! Once again my theory, that the best bargain can be done in your parents/grandparents closet happened to be true!  What do you think?
Sype sa to zovsadial, vsetko a vsetci su dnes posadnuti s "beanie" (nevymyslela som tomuto anglickemu pomenovaniu ziadny slovensky ekvivalent, lebo by to asi musel byt fazulka, co znie velmi komicky :D). A tak som sa znovu rozhodla vyrazit na nakupy do skrine mojich rodicov a objavit tam aj taketo skvosty. To co mam na hlave je ciapka mojho otca z cias, ked bol asi este slobodny :D Mamka ma s nou nechcela nechat opustit nas byt, ale stalo sa a ja som si ju zamilovala.

Meet my friends: Katka

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to announce you that "meet my friends" is back! Today I'm about to introduce you to my amazing roommate, Katka. We know each other from high school, now studying and even living together brought our relationship a completely new perspective. Over the cakes we discussed the power of positive thinking, what it means to get lucky and of course the food! Enjoy!
What do you like for breakfast?
I try to mix it, but actually I always eat the same. Either I go for white yogurt with oats, fruits and nuts. Or wholegrain bread with cheese and vegetable. I am really stereotypical when it comes to food. Probably not a big gourman. But I like to eat healthy!
As now living together, I know about you every single detail (almost), and I've seen you reading a lot about the power of positive thinking. Can you share with us some thoughts? Probably the very first could be how did you get into it?
It was thanks to my mum, who saw how I used to always just think and was up the clouds as well as how apathetic I was. I had a feeling that I am losing a control over my life and didn't believe in lots of things. Everything was connected with not: will NOT, can NOT, shall NOT,.. My mum got me the book "Power of positive living", but I started reading it maybe 2 years after. Probably as many of you, I also didn't believe that the problem is inside of me and that everything can be changed just with the change of my thinking.
And now, do you have some advices for people out there struggling with life as well? How did the positive thinking help you?
I thought that loads of my decisions in my life were bad. And so I lived in my self-constructed problem, which was only in my own head. Also solving problems connected to the future, which don't even exist yet used to occupy me. The whole power of positive thinking is only about the believe in yourself and people around you. I read, that a man can change his/her way of life as quick as he can change the negative thought into positive one. Which means: I can, I do, I will change it!
I am happy you know the theory!
Yes, there are loads of smart books around! :D Theory is wonderful, but you can't change anything unless you believe that you can actually do it! We become the person, who we think we are. And when we will be thinking about ourselves in negative way, we will never reach any positive change! 
Thank you for the interview!
Damy a pani, s nesmiernym potesenim Vam mozem oznamit, ze "meet my friends" je spat! Dnes Vam predstavim svoju skvelu spolubyvajucu, Katku. Pozname sa uz zo strednej skoly, ale teraz od kedy spolu studujeme a hlavne byvame, nas vztah dostal uplne novu perspektivu. Pocas vychutnavania si kolacika sme sa rozpravali o sile pozitivneho myslenia, co to znamena mat stastie a samozrejme aj o jedle! Nech sa paci!
Co si rada das na ranajky?
V podstate to striedam, ale vlastne mam stale to iste. Bud biely jogurt, ovsene vlocky, ovocie a oriesky. Alebo celozrne pecivo so syrom a zeleninou. V jedle som dost stereotypna, asi nie som tym padom velky gurman. Ale rada jem hlavne zdravo!
