New school year and some thoughts about....well...life

Prošlo je već nedelju dana od kako su počela predavanja. Prosto mi ne dopire do svesti da sam upisala završnu godinu fakulteta. Sve je tako... Isto XD Haha. Do duše, počela sam malo da razmišljam o tome šta ću kada završim ovu četvrtu godinu. Za sada nisam došla ni do kakvog rešenja. I dalje razmišljam o tome da li da upišem master, da li da odem negde drugo pa da ga upišem, da li da tražim neki posao (iako pojma nemam kakav bi to posao moga da bude)... Totalno sam izgubljena. Osećam se vrlo slično onome kako sam se osećala nakon završene gimnazije - pojma nemam šta ću sa sobom i svojim životom. Nadam se da ću do kraja drugog semestra imati neki plan. Ili barem neku naznaku plana XD Predavanja su dosadna kao i obično, mada mi se dopada što smo kao jedan domaći zadatak dobili da sami prevedemo deo teksta iz nekog književnog dela. Već sam počela da radim na tome i shvatila da zapravo možda i umem da prevedem, kako-tako :D Naročito obzirom da smatram da je moje znanje turskog prilično loše.  Odličan osećaj! Još je bolje to što sam zapravo na vreme uzela da radim to,a i da učim, bez da me neko nagovara i podseća XD Jej, možda se i ne zakopam učenjem pre ispitnog roka ove godine :D

*Skrećem sa teme samo da prokomentarišem kako je Earl Grey definitivno moj omiljeni čaj! :3 Mmmm njam njam, ništa bolje od toga kada je napolju hladno i vetrovito kao danas...*

Setila sam se nečega što nam je profesorka rekla na predavanju - jezik ne može zapravo da se prevede. Mi u prevodu uvek izgubimo makar delić onoga što je pisac originalno hteo da kaže. Ne postoje uvek ekvivalenti nekih izreka i izraza koji bi tačno preneli osećanje ili nečije misli. Apsolutno se slažem sa ovim! I sama sam to primetila dok sam čitala neke knjige, pošto imam običaj da pročitam i na srpskom i na engleskom. Knjiga na mene uvek ostavi bolji i drugačiji utisak kada je čitam na originalnom jeziku. Ponekad poželim da znam svaki jezik ovog sveta makar samo da bih mogla da čitam knjige u originalu. Desilo mi se da pročitam sve delove Vampirske akademije na engleskom, a da nakon toga dobijem knjigu na srpskom. Pokušala sam da čitam ali nije bilo šanse. Nešto je falilo i delovalo mi je kao da je prevod previše banalan, previše...Pa, zapravo, nedovoljno uglađen. Nisam ni pokušala ponovo da pročitam tu knjigu na srpskom, radije ću da se mučim i da čitam na telefonu ili kompijuteru na engleskom XD Verujem da se mnogi osećaju slično kao ja povodom ovoga? 

Dakle, nema ničeg interesantnog osim ovoga o čemu bih mogla da pišem. Bila sam prehlađena pa nisam baš ni izlazila iz kuće..Videćemo šta će biti za vikend! 

Do sledećeg puta~ 

It's been a week already since new semester started on my faculty. I just can't get it in my head that I'm on my last year. Everything is just so.... Ordinary, same as always XD Haha. Although, I did start thinking about what I should do after this. For now, I don't have any idea. I'm still thinking if I should enroll to master studies, should I do that- but somewhere else (not on my faculty), should I just get a job (if so, what kind of a job would that be?!)... I'm totally lost. I feel very similar to what I felt when I finished high school - I have no idea what I'm gonna do with me and my life. I hope I will figure something out until the second semester is finished. Lectures are as boring as ever, although I do like that we got homework for one class that consists of us translating some literary text by ourselves. I already started working on that and I figured I maybe actually CAN translate it, in some way ( no idea if it's correct) :D Especially since I think that my knowledge in Turkish is really not that good. Great feeling! It's even better that I actually started studying and doing my homework on time, without anyone telling me to XD Yay. maybe I won't bury myself in studies two weeks before exams this year :D

* I'm getting a bit off topic just to state that Earl Grey is definitely my favorite tea! :3 Mmmm yummy, there's nothing better than that on a windy and cold day like this...* 

I just remembered something one of my professors said about translating - language can't actually be translated. When we translate someone's work we always lose at least a bit of what the author waned to say. There are no equivalents we could use  for all sayings or expressions we'd like to translate. Let alone feelings. I absolutely agree with this! I myself noticed that while I read some books, since I have custom of reading books both in English and Serbian. If original language is English the book always leaves better impression on me when I read it in original language. Sometimes I wish I knew all languages in the world just so I could read all the books in their original shape. It happened that I read all parts of Vampire Academy in English and then I got the first book in Serbian, but I just couldn't read it.I tried to, but there was no way.Something was missing and it looked like the translation was so poor, so... Well, not enough. I never tried reading it in Serbian again, I would rather torture myself with reading on computer or phone in English XD I believe many of you feel the same? 

So, there's nothing more interesting that I could write about today. I was ill so I didn't really leave the house. We'll see what's gonna happen during weekend.

Until the next time~ 

Here are some pics I kind of forgot to post here XD I did put them on Instagram though~

This was after I took an exam that lasted for two hours... You can see I look very, very tired XD

Lolita dress!

Hello everyone! I just wanna post pictures of THE dress I mentioned in my last post :D We finally took pictures of it on a model ( our dear friend-almost-sister Kat :3 ) and now you can see it! Kat was soooo excited to wear it! She was like a child that was given a candy :3 And it looks so good on her! So, what do you think?!

I'm in a slump~

Dakle, kao što naslov kaže - totalno sam ostala bez inspiracije -.- A imam potrebu da NEŠTO napišem. Muke teške... Odlučila sam se za kratak postić o tome šta Katty i ja trenutno radimo ( dobro, Katty je uglavnom ta koja se bavi najbitnijim stvarima XD) 
Pošto se bliži Noć Veštica odlučile smo da napravimo neku garderobu i aksesoare inspirisane time. Za sada imamo jednu haljinu (koja još uvek neće biti obelodanjena!) i neki nakit. Ovde ću postaviti slike, a ukoliko je neko zainteresovan može da nas kontaktira na Krpicama ili na našoj FB strani :3

Just as the title says: I'm in a slump. I totally don't have any inspiration for writing -.- But I have this urge to write SOMETHING ... Gah...I decided to just write a short post about what Katty and I decided to do (Ok, mostly it's Katty that's doing main things XD).
Since Halloween is approaching, we decided to make some clothes and accessories Halloween themed. For now we have one dress ( you will not see it yet!) and some accessories. If you are interested in something you can contact us on our FB page :3 

New look for my blog! And last day of August

Pa ljudi, šta mislite o novom izgledu bloga? Sada konačno imamo novi komp pa sam odlučila da nešto promenim i malo ga poboljšam. Katty je bila toliko divna da predloži da mi pokaže kako da napravim header. Naravno, na kraju ga je ona sama odradila uz moja uputstva šta hoću i kako XD U suprotnom bi proces trajao dva sata, a ne 15 minuta... Ne mogu da opišem koliko sam ispala iz štosa sa kucanjem na kompu, čak mi smeta da gledam u ekran. Šta reći ;P 

Htela sam zapravo da pišem o poslednjem danu avgusta. Ustala sam ujutru da bih otišla po papire za popis gasa ( time se honorarno bavim već godinu dana) i trebalo je da ceo dan provedem napolju na nogama, na onoj groznoj vrućini i 37 stepeni. U nekom trenutku je počelo da mi biva loše pa sam odlučila da napravim pauzu i odem do babe i dede pošto sam bila u blizini. Trebalo mi je dobrih sat vremena da se malo ohladim. Nakon dva sata, kada sam odlučila da nastavim ( bilo je već 3 popodne) , tata je nazvao i rekao da su on, Katty i njegova devojka odlučili da odu na kupanje na jezero i pitao me da li želim da idem sa njima. Prvo sam pomislila da odbijem, a onda sam malo razmislila, shvatila da je to verovatno poslednja prilika za odlazak na jezero ovog leta i odlučila da pristanem. Pokupio me je kolima u roku od nekoliko minuta, odvezao kući da se presvučem i spremim stvari i onda smo bili na putu. Bilo je divno voziti se po lepom vremenu ( kažem to jer je u kolima bilo baš fino zbog klime XD ). Pošto je bio radni dan na jezeru je bilo jako malo ljudi - što je nama savršeno odgovaralo. Voda je i dalje bila topla, a sunce je taman krenulo da zalazi za brdo i drveće tako da nije bilo šanse da izgorimo ( s tim što sam ja već bila izgorela tog prepodneva -.-) . Bilo mi je jako drago što je Katty krenula sa nama jer joj je to bio prvi put ove godine. Izmotavale smo se, plivale, smejale se...Posle smo otišle da prošetamo i za to vreme se snimale i prosto plakale od smeha XD Uvek mi je najzabavnije kada smo zajedno. Bio je to najlepši poslednji dan avgusta ikad :D 

So guys, what do you think about my blog's new look? We finally have new computer so I decided to change my blog a little and make it better. Katty was so lovely to suggest to show me how to make a header for blog. Ofc, in the end she ended up making it, with me by her side to tell her what I want.

XD If I was the one making header it would probably take 2 hours and not only 15 mins...

Actually, I wanted to write about the last day of August. I got up early that morning to go and collect papers for work ( I make gas lists once a month ) and I was supposed to spend the whole day outside on foot in that awfully hot weather ( it was 37 C). At some point I started feeling not-so-well so I decided to take a break and go to my grandparent's house since it was nearby. It took me an hour to cool down, and finally after two hours I decided to continue. Just at that moment dad called and asked me if I want to go to the lake for a swim together with him, his girlfriend and Katty. At first I thought to say no, but than I figured it was probably going to be the last time this summer and agreed on going. Dad picked me up after few mins and took me home to change and grab my things, and than we were on our way! It was great riding in a car in a great weather ( I say great weather coz it was nice and cool in the car with air-condition XD) Since it was working day, there wasn't a lot of people on the lake and that was perfect for us. The water was warm and the sun was setting behind trees and hill so there was no chance for us to get sun burned ( even though I already was because of that morning outside) I was really glad that Katty came as well, it was her first time this year. We made jokes, swum. laughed... Afterwords we went for a walk and continued laughing and making funny videos, we literally cried because of laughter XD It's always the most fun for me when we are together. That was the best last day of August ever :D

 And one pic from going out for a walk :3

Little trip, visiting our mom

Zdravo svima! Današnji post će biti malo drugačiji od prethodnih zbog toga što će tema biti možda malo više lična. Ne pišem često o nekim bitnim i ozbiljnim stvarima na ovom blogu. Prosto smatram da nema potrebe da baš ceo svoj život objavljujem svetu :P Ali ako hoću da pišem o onome o čemu sam planirala danas, treba da napravim mali uvod. Ne znam da li mnogo vas zna, ali moji i Katty-ni roditelji su razvedeni već nekoliko godina i naša mama je pre nekog vremena odlučila da se preseli. E, pa, ovaj post je o našoj prvoj poseti njoj i njenom dečku :D Krenule smo u petak popodne iz Beograda i putovale smo četiri sata -_- Bilo je užasno toplo, zagušljivo i neudobno (dobro došli na Železnice Srbije). U vozu su se našle i neke izbeglice koje su putovale u Suboticu. Jadni ti ljudi, baš ih je svašta snašlo... U našem vagonu ih je bilo desetak, a jednom od njih nije bilo dobro. Jedna žena im je dala brufen, međutim, nije mogla da im objasni za šta je taj lek pošto momci nisu pričali engleski. Sestra i ja smo onda pomislile da možda znaju turski, pa smo ih to i pitale. Ispostavilo se da znaju i ne mogu da opišem osmehe i oduševljenje kad sam rekla da znam da i ja znam turski :D Eto, izgleda se da je ovo moje studiranje ipak korisno za nešto... Pitala sam šta nije u redu sa onim dečkom i rekla da je lek za temperaturu. Ostatak puta sam provela u čitanju knjige ( preporučujem je, tj. sve delove iz serijala Maximum Ride od James Patterson - a) i u dremanju, dok je Katty crtala i slušala muziku. Kada smo krenule iz voza oni momci su nam poželeli srećan put i izdeklamovali sve pozdrave ma turskom kojih su mogli da se sete XD Mama i R. su nas sačekali, pa smo seli u kola i onda smo mama i ja otišle u kupovinu, a Katty je sa R. otišla kući. Taj dan smo proveli u pričanju, pijenju kafe i gledanju tv-a XD Bilo je vrlo opušteno i bili smo strašno lenji jer je temperatura napolju bila previsoka... Ja, kao i obično nisam mogla da spavam te noći jer sam bila u nepoznatom krevetu, tako da sam do kasno čitala knjigu :P Jutro je bilo divno, sedele smo i pile kafu, pričale, kao što smo obično radile kod kuće. Baš sam uživala ^^ Do duše, u nekom trenutku mi je možda bilo previše lenstvovanja :'D I taj dan smo proveli pričajući i pijući kafu (malo smo svi zavisni od kofeina X'D),  a Katty i ja smo čak igrale igrice na kompu :D Ne sećam se kada sam poslednji put to radila... Usput sam u kuvaru pronašla i nekoliko recepata koje bih volela da isprobam, a mama je spremila ručak, pa smo svi zajedno jeli. ^^ Kasno popodne smo otišli na železničku stanicu, ali je voz kasnio sat i po vremena pa smo morali da čekamo. Pa, kad smo već morali da budemo tamo i ne radimo ništa, onda smo iskoristili priliku da slikamo :D Put nazad je protekao mnogo brže, a u Beogradu nas je tata sačekao sa svojom devojkom (baš lepo od njega :3). Eto, jedni fino kratko putovanje. Nemam pojma koja je poenta ovog posta, samo mi se pisalo nešto XD Možda bi poenta mogla da bude to da nije smak sveta ako se roditelji razvedu. U poslednje vreme to je jako česta stvar... To zaista nije lepo iskustvo, ali nije ni najgore što može da nam se desi u životu ^^ Tako da, ako se nekome od vas koji čitate ovo roditelji razvode - biće bolje uskoro, nemojte previše da se nervirate! Život ide dalje :P

Hello everyone! Today's post will be different from those before because it's a bit more personal. I don't usually write about serious or important things here. Mostly because I just don't want to share every bit of our life with the world. But if I want to make today's post I will need little intro. I don't know how many of you know, but Katty's and my parents have been divorced for a couple of years now, and some time ago our mom decided to move to another city and live with her boyfriend. So, this post will be about our first visit to them :D

We started our little trip on Friday afternoon and it took us 4 hours to get there -_-  It was hot, uncomfortable and just blah (Welcome to Rails of Serbia). On the train were some refugees from Syria and few guys were in our wagon. One of them was ill and a woman gave them medicine but she couldn't explain what was it for, since guys didn't speak English. Katty and I thought thay maybe they could speak Turkish so we asked them. They said they do and were so happy when I said I also speak Turkish! So, I explained the best I could and it was nice knowing that my studies are actually useful! X'D The rest of the trip was so boring, I was reading a book (very good one, I recommend it to you, it's called Maximum Ride by James Patterson), Katty was drawing and so, after what looked like a billion years, we finally arived to our destination. Mom and R. were waiting for us on the station. Guys from the train waved at us, wished us goodbye and moved along. We spent that day talking, drinking coffee and watching TV. It was really relaxing ^^ I couldn't sleep that night (as always when I change bed) so I was reading that book I mentioned earlier (soooo so good and exciting!). Next morning was beautiful, Katty, mom ane I were in the dining room drinking coffee, eating breakfast and talking. Like the old times. I really enjoyed it :3 At some point I was kind of tired if doing nothing X'D That entire day was also spent in chilling and drinking coffee. Katty and I even played some games on computer. I can't remember the last time I played anything! I found some interesting recepies in a cook book that I want to try out, and mom made lunch. We ate all together and it was really tasty (ofc, mom made it!). In the late afternoon we headed to the train station, but when we were there, we were told that the train was being late ( and hour and a half -_-)  So, since we didn't have anything better to do - we took pictures! :D Trip back was a lot better and it took "only"  three hours. Dad was waiting for us on the station in Belgrade, together with his girlfriend. :3 All in all, it was one nice little journey. And now I have mo idea what's the point of this post, maybe I just had the urge to write XD And maybe the poin is that it's not the end of the world if your parents get a divorce. That is such a common thing today... It's really not a noce experience, but it far from worst that can happen. So, if parents from one of you are going through a divorce - don't worry, it will all pass and it will get better. Sometimes it's better that way than them staying together and arguing (or worse) every day. Life goes on~ 

Unexpected meeting!

Oduvek sam volela nova poznanstva :)  Naročito volim da upoznajem ljude iz drugih država. E pa, juče sam imala tu sreću da sasvim slučajno na trgu ugledam dve devojke koje su prodavale neke razglednice, a koje su kako se ispostavilo, došle iz Hong Konga. Prvo sam pomislila sa su iz Japana jer razglednice definitivno jesu odande, pa sam im rekla "Konnichiwa!" X'D Uzvratile su mi uz osmehe, iznenađenje, pa su mi rekle da ipak nisu iz Japana, ali da ga vole, da su ga posetile pre nego što su došle ovde u Srbiju i da pričaju japanski. Razglednice zaista jesu iz Japana ^^ Počele smo da pričamo i rekle su mi da su već nekoliko dana u Beogradu, a da sutra nastavljaju dalje, idu u Sofiu. Onda sam im rekla da se i ja tako zovem, pa smo Carol i ja razmenile pozdrave na japanskom XD Razglednice su prodavale da bi kupile večeru, koliko sam razumela, same su sebi dale taj zadatak jer su htele da vide hoće li uspeti. U tom trenutku nisam ponela puno para sa sobom, ali sam ipak mogla da kupim jednu razglednicu (da sam imala više para to ne bi valjalo, kupila bih sve X'D jedva sam odlučila koju da uzmem!). Na žalost nisam imala više vremena da se zadržavam jer sam morala da se nadjem sa Milanom i Stev, ali me je Carol dodala na FB. Veoma mi je drago što sam ih upoznla, jako su fine! Nadam se da će ponovo posetiti Beograd :3 

I love meeting new people! :) I especially like meeting people from another country. Well, yesterday I got a chance to meet two girls from Hong Kong. I saw them on the square, selling postards from Japan. I assumed that they were also from Japan so I said "Konnichiwa!" to them XD They smiled at me, replayed and then told me they are actually from Hong Kong, but they visited Japan and they love it (they also speak Japanese). Postcards ARE from Japan and I really had to buy one (I would have bought more but I didn't bring enough money with me T.T). If I understood correctly, they were selling them so that they could buy dinner later with that money. So I wanted to help a little :3 Carol added me on FB, we took a picture together and then I had to go meet Milan and Stev. I'm really glad I met them, they are so nice and friendly. I hope they will come to Belgrade again :3

Kpop party!

Juče, 27.07. je održana Kpop žurka, organizovana od strane korejskog ambasadora u Beogradu. Bila sam jako iznenađena kada sam čula za to. Nije mi bilo baš jasno zašto bi ambasador radio tako nešto. Međutim, posle sam malo razmislila, (a i prikupila neke informacije) i saznala da se čovek lepo trudi da poboljša odnose između naših zemalja i da promoviše svoju zemlju. Iskreno sam oduševljena :D Nije li to jedan od najboljih načina za uspostavljanje komunikacije? Ulaz je bio besplatan, piće je bilo jeftino, čak su organizovali i neku korejsku hranu (koja je bila super ukusna!). Došlo je mnogo ljudi, uglavnom prilično mladih (kad kažem mladih, mislim na desetak godina mlađe od mene. Osetila sam se kao tetka u nekoliko navrata X'D) Bilo je jako zabavno, igrali smo, pevali, smejali se...Upoznale smo dosta novih ljudi, srele drugarice koje nismo videle već jako dugo. Organizovan je čak i mali fleshmob!Došli su i neki "padobranci"  koji očigledno nisu znali o čemu se radi ali im se muzika izgleda svidela jer su ostali na splavu (splav se zove Shake&Shake i jako mi se dopada). Bilo mi je krivo što smo Katty i ja morale da krenemo ranije da bismo stigle na autobus... Nadam se da će uskoro opet biti organizovana ovakva žurka :3 

Yesterday on 27th of July a Kpop party was held in organization of Korean embassy in Belgrade. I was really surprised when I heard about it. Why would ambassador organize kpop party? But then I gave it a thought (and also heard some things) so I found out that he is trying to improve relationship between our two country's, and what would be better than throwing a party? That way he can promote Korea to young people :3 Party was held at place called Shake&Shake . The entrance was free, drinks were cheap, they even brought Korean food (which was super tasty!). A lot of people came, mostly young (and when I say young, I mean 10 years younger than me. I felt almost like their aunt X'D). We had so much fun, danced, laughed, sung... Katty and I met many new people and got to see some old friends that we didn't meet for a long time. There was even little flesh mob! Even some people that obviously have no idea what kpop is came and decided to stay on party :D I was very disappointed that Katty and I had to leave early since we had to catch a bus... I hope party like this will be organized again soon!  :3
