My Giving Tree

Croatian:

U interviewu s Martinom Bashirom,  Michael Jackson, najveći idol mog djetinjstva, pričao je o svojem drvetu na Neverland Ranch-u, nazivajući ga "My Giving Tree"...

I ja ga imam. Mudro je, tiho i staro, a  ispod njegove krošnje uvijek saznam novu tajnu, o sebi, o drugima, o svijetu, o životu...


English:

In his interview with Martin Bashir, Michael Jackson, my biggest childhood hero, spoke about his "Giving Tree" on his Neverland Ranch...

I also have one. It's wise, quiet and old, and underneath it's whispering leaves, I always learn a new secret, about myself, about others, about world, about life...

Golden August or Just the Way It Should Be...

Croatian:

Ove sam godine na moru provela dva dana. Tako je nekako ispalo ovog ljeta, koje se polagano bliži kraju. Uhvatilo me  nezadovoljstvo radi neiskorištenih praznika, vremena potrošenog uzalud i ostalih neprilika...

Jučerašnje popodne provela sam uz rijeku, mekanu, toplu i pitomu, ispod treperave hrastove krošnje, gledajući u polja u zlatu kolovoškog sunca. I dok je ono topilo svu moju mrzovolju i punilo moje srce tihom srećom, pomislila sam da je sve baš tako kako treba biti...

English:

This summer, I spent only two days at the coast. Somehow, things turned this way and the summer is slowly comming to an end. Suddenly I became bittered because of unused holidays, time spent in vain and other inconveniences that have happened...

Yesterday afternoon I spent by the river, soft, warm and tame, underneath whispering oak tree, gazing at the fields bathing in the golden August sun. And while it was melting away all my gloominess and filling my heart with quiet contentment, I thought that everything is just the way it should  be...

Asking too much...

link

Croatian:

U posljednje vrijeme od prijatelja/roditelja/znanaca često čujem konstataciju da sam u vezama/odnosima/prijateljstvima/životu i prema sebi samoj prezahtjevna... Da li je moguće tražiti previše od života, odnosa ili univerzuma i postoje li mjerila koja određuju da li previše tražimo? Ako postoje mjerila, tko ih određuje?
Da li na kraju Svemir, viša sila, štogod,  kažnjava nas, "neumjerene i prezahtjevne", uskraćivanjem onoga što želimo i čemu težimo?

Nakon  podosta razmišljanja na tu temu, nisam došla do suvislog odgovora, ali nekako duboko u sebi slutim da se duša(barem je moja takva), ne zadovoljava predvidljivim, malim ciljevima i niskim letom, već visinama i nesvakidašnjim vrhuncima, koje je izazov osvojiti. Uživam u ljepoti malih stvari, ali zašto bih se na njima trebala zaustaviti?

"Tražite i bit će vam dano". Različiti ljudi različito shvaćaju pojam "previše", a jedina stvar koja stoji između nas i onoga o čemu sanjamo i čemu stremimo smo mi sami.

English:

Lately, I've been hearing from my friends/parents/accuaintances/relatives  that I'm being too demanding  in my relationships/friendships, to myself and to life in general..Is it possible to ask too much from Universe and are there standards which can determine that we're being too demanding? If there are certain standards, who sets them? Does the Universe, higher power, whatever, punishes us, "immoderate and demanding", by denying us what we want and what we aspire to?

After a lot of thinking about that subject, I havent found the right answer, but deep inside I know that a soul (at least mine) is not satisfied with low flights and predictabele goals, but with hights and challenging peaks to conquer.I enjoy beauty of little things, but why should I stop there?

"Ask and you shall be given." Different people have different perception of the term "too much" and the only thing that stands between us and our dreams and aspirations is ourselves.

Weekend on the Island of Krk

Friday's vintage catch

Croatian:

 Moja strast za buvljacima i vintage stilom graniči sa fetišizmom. Mnogi  zaziru od već upotrebljavanih predmeta i odjeće koja je već imala vlasnika. Svoj tabu vezan za second-hand razbila sam u Londonu i tamošnjem Camden Marketu, gdje je, kao i u svim većim europskim prijestolnicama, vintage posebno na cijeni, a danas je već postao i globalni trend.

I zato se, umjesto kupovanja pomodnih, precijenjenih krpica loše kvalitete, šivanih za par lipa po satu u jednoj od zemalja Trećeg svijeta, uvijek prije odlučujem za odjeću sa patinom i pričom, koju zatim nastavljam dalje....

Ovo je moj današnji ulov: :)

Vintage YSL naočale, dvije pletene torbe, klompe, remen i časopisi . Ostalo je u veš-mašini :)

English:

My passion for flea markets and vintage has almost become a fetish. Many people don't feel comfortable using things that have been already in use and wearing clothes owned by someone else. I  broke my taboo with second-hand goods in London's Camden Town, where vintage is especially appreciated, and now has already become a global trend.

So, instead of buying trendy, overpriced clothes of bad quality, sewn in some of  the Thirld World countries for few cents per hour,  I will always choose clothes with a story, which I continue to tell further...

This is what I found today: :)
