Mobitel #fail

Well, what can I say. Mobitel (one of the mobile phone operators in Slovenia) has made a bad business decision. They raised the prices of most popular services, and that was not yet enough. They also had to lower the amount of packet data transfer. I am so disappointed! They could really think about this more carefully.

April 2010 Roadtrip: Italy, Verona

After sightseeing in Venice, we drove to Verona, town known for Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet. I consider this tragedy as one of the best tragedies ever written.
When we arrived, we parked our car outside the center of Verona. Then we took a walk through the center. As we were walking, I noticed a lot of features with the origins in Medieval, which are common to the majority of Italian cities.

Love wishes

When we came to Juliet’s house, there was a lot of people. Then my boyfriend, who was there before, told me that there was much more sticky notes attached to the walls when he was last there, he also told me that there’s always a lot of people there. It is said, if you attach a sticky note on the wall in front of the Juliet’s house, your love will come true. And if you touch the tit of Juliet’s statue, you will have luck in your life.

We really enjoyed while sightseeing Verona. But for us it was not necessary to attach a sticky note to make our love true

April 2010 Roadtrip: Italy, Venice

I know June has just started, but I do not have any time now to publish anything as I have exams and I have to study hard. Me and my boyfriend, mostly my boyfriend , were planning a road trip to Italy. As I love Italy, and I speak Italian too, I suggested some places to go.

On the first day of our road trip we drove through  Trieste (in Slovene: Trst). We meant to stop there and take a walk, but it was raining heavily, so we headed to Treviso where we spent the night. Early in the morning we headed to Venice (Venezia/Benetke), to the town which I assume you are all familiar about. This was our first time in Venice, and we got a quite good impression, except the trash lying on the floor which bothered us. I was disappointed that citizens do not watch over their town, even if they know, the town is the tourists’ site known all over the world. After a long day, running around and sightseeing, we felt enthusiastic even though we were tired as hell.

Here are some photos we took in Venice:

Slovene students’ protest

Slovene students were protesting against the new law about student’s work and many other things. Instead of protesting, they were ruining Ljubljana and the parliament. I am a student too, and I am against the new law, but still  the behavior of students today  is not acceptable. Obviously students who were there, came only to get drunk. For God’s sake, if you have the intention to get drunk, go clubbing somewhere, you should not embarrass other students! This does not happen even in other countries! Throwing stones, jelling and endangering other people only to get drunk. How immature!

Our creation: The letter of reference

Today at the class, we had a task to write a letter of reference for the Little Red Riding Hood. We were working in groups – I and two other friends, who I will not name. Here is our letter of reference:

I have known the Little Red Riding Hood since started working as a judge at my TV show Siberian Next Top Model in 2006. As a member of my jury. she is someone for whom I have the greatest respect.

During her time at the Siberian Next Top Model, Miss Little Red Riding Hood has done a lot for our TV show. She designed a fabulous furry wolfskin coat collection, in which our models had a catwalk in the woods.On a more general note, Little Red Riding Hood is creative, sociable, reliable, able to meet deadlines and she is also good at communicating with people.

Reading the description of the job as the editor of the fashion pages at Vogue, I honestly believe, Little Red Riding Hood is that kind of person you are looking for.

The best chocolate collection ever!

About one week ago we went on a holiday (I’ll write about this trip in my next posts). After a couple of hours of driving, we stopped at a rest stop in Italy (somewhere between Venice and Verona) to go to the rest room. To reach the parking lot, we had to walk through a store, and there I saw it – Ferrero Garden. My boyfriend said we have to take them immediately. So we did, and I do not repent it!

When we reached the car, we opened them quickly and started to try the chocolates. I cannot explain the flavors. There is only one thing I wanted to say – the chocolates were exquisite Sadly this collection of chocolates is not available in Slovenia

Slovene people awakening – it’s necessary!

In our history we always wanted to be independent, but even if it seems we are, we are not. However, we remained the same fools, like we were in the past. Our yokes did not disappear. Due to our government, the prices of food, prices of apartments, taxes, gas prices, etc. are rising drastically.

Let’s discuss now the problem with prices of gas in Slovenia. Since the new currency (Euro) was introduced, all things turned  more expensive than they were before. We managed to accept this, but the gas prices are “immoral”. Even if the price of the barrel of oil was dropping, the prices of gas in Slovenia were rising, and they still are. Salaries from the times of Yugoslavia have not changed a bit. Our state obviously thinks we are developing, but we seem to be  well on the road to ruin.

Slovenes, let’s rise our voices and stop being  slaves to such donkeys who are  being a part of the government. Hypocrites such as these, must be cut off.

Laptop case made of cardboard

I did not imagine someone would design such thing. Very interesting, isn’t it? But I still wonder, even it looks nice, is it practical? I cannot imagine how this eco friendly laptop case will work in rainy days

At age 102 again in school

Who would thought some people never give up on school, so did not a 102 year old woman, named Ma Xiuxian from China. She was forced to quit school at the age of thirteen, because she needed a job. When she turned 18, she got married and bore 9 children. Only two of her children did not graduate.

She regreted all her life she quit school. Now she decided to follow her dreams and finish school. She listens to the lectures with help of a hearing aid. How amazing, isn’t it??

Ma Xiuxian and her love for school
