First resolution for upcoming year 2008

I have to work on my "strong" will.

St. Nicolas

Youpiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-))

St. Nicolas came, he found me even if I am in Belgium :-)) I have so much chocolate now. Even though I decided to avoid buying and consuming it after this weekend, I will have to take care of that somehow. Ehm :-))

I bought chocolates for my colocs and I put there a small paper saying that it is "petit cadeau de St. Nicolas". They seemed to be really happy. As I saw that it made them happy, I was happy as well and I went to the shop and bought more chocolate for other friends as well hehe Actually, it is very egoistic approach. Making others happy just in order to make myself happy :-)))))

Oh, but I like this tradition. A lot.

I feel good tatarata :-)

I have this song in my mind at the moment. Something unbelievable happened to me. I went to my sofrology class, not motivated at all. I was so much into all my projects that I have to finish today and tomorrow, I felt tired and exhausted. I just decided to go there, because I have not been there for past two weeks and I was not sure when is the last class taking place. After one hour I left with smile on my face, walking straight in streets of Louvain la Neuve. Unbelievable :-))

I feel good youpiiiii :-))

Vydych nadych vydych nadych

Sometimes I am really gratefull for my sofrology course. It really helps. Doing some respirations, when I am mad and angry really helps. Vydych nadych vydych nadych Ten times and I feel much better!!! :-)

Trip to Hasselt

Of course, I missed my train. Not because I was late, but just because I had forgotten to put the memory card into my camera. Therefore I had just one hour before meeting Matúško. One hour is probably not enough to see everything in Hasselt, but it is enough to walk around the small center, take many pictures and enjoy some nice streets of the city.

As it was raining, colourful lights from this house on the main square were reflecting on the paving.

This is the very famous fountain in Hasselt. Once a year, during the whole day, there is beer instead of water splashing out of that.

These trees were just asking for B/W picture.

As most of people in Hasselt, Matúš is every day riding a bike to get around the city.

We went to some nice pub. And I tried Genever, special alcohol that is produced in Hasselt :-)) It was so nice to talk Slovak. But he seemed to be a bit sad… Hopefully, everything would be fine for him… As I had to catch the train and we were quite far from the train station, I got on the back of the bike and we rode through the whole city. I had to laugh so much, had great time :-))

Blog meeting in Leuven

Matúško came from Hasselt, Matushiq with Ivka came from Prague and Katarínka came from Louvain la Neuve :-)) And they all met at the Leuven station and went for a beer and had a nice time while chatting about Belgium and its non-existing government, news from Prague, upcoming Schengen etc.We came to the train station just five minutes before last train to LLN was suppose to leave. It would be ok, if I knew where the platform D was. Running around as crazy hehe trying to find out, if the train is really coming and from where it is leaving. Such adrenaline hehe. I got on at the last minute. Yes, I am always proud of my perfect timing ability :-))

Piece of Czech Republic and Slovakia in LLN

During one night in CESEC I danced with one guy. When we decided to have some beer, we had finally opportunity to talk a bit.

HE: What is your name?

ME: Katarina. And yours? (Remarque: oh yeah, this is typical beginning of conversation, it could be more original. Well, this makes me thinking about one guy, who approached me with nice question: Maybe very personal question, but can I ask you what kind of parfume are you using? Smells great. Hihihi this is nice and innovative :-))

HE: You can call me Jerry. Where do you come from?

ME: I am Slovak.

HE: Slovak or Slovenian?

ME: Slovak.

HE: Oh, I thought you said Slovenian. I am from Prague.

ME: Yes? (at this point I was thinking that he was teasing me hehe and I did not believe him that he is from Prague, probably because of his perfect French)

HE: Yes. Let’s go outside for a while.

ME: Ok, let’s go.

HE: Hm, so we can speak Czech, cannot we?

ME: Yes, of course (me answering still in French, because I still did not believe him that he is from Prague hihi)

HE: No tak to je supr, že jsi ze Slovenska.

ME: ??? ehm??? Ty si fakt z Prahy?

Oh, and of course, I cannot skip mentioning that there is one car from Bratislava and the other one from Piestany on the parking next to my place. I should finally find out, whose it is. It is nice from time to time to express myself in my mother tongue. I like to play with the language and in none of other languages I do not have this ability.
