"tomorrow I'm forgotten to you"

Here's another Slovenian band. Have you ever heard for Dweal? Well, this is it.
They say that Dweal plays so-called drop rock. (It's the first time I heard of this phrase, I admit.) However, this means that they tune their guitars lower than it's usual. (Correct me if I'm wrong!)

Torej, če kdaj slišite koga reči: "Kak majo pa toti 'dropane' kitare!", potem veste, da so jih uglasili nižje od standardnega. In po takšni ugotovitvi boste kakšnega kitarista ali basista pogosto slišali reči tudi: "Ma daj, neomo špilali totega komada! Lej kak je dropan!" 
Lenoba ali zaščitništvo do kitare? (I will never know since I only play piano...)

And here's Dweals music video for Forgotten. (And Maribor Bus Station in it! How cool is that!)

it caught my eye

I love this portrait. Enough said.

This photo was taken on a Rainbow gathering in Gran Canary Island by Benoit Paille.
I actually love all of his work. Especially portraits are amazing... There's something so pure and revealing in every single one of them.

More portraits from Rainbow gatherings here.
Check Benoit Pailles other work on devianart and behance.

project of the week

Have I ever shared these with you? ... I was really proud on these two, I admit. :)
And now they are kinda old already...

random post in May

Oh, it's late again. I can hardly sit and watch right now - I could say I am exhausted from this week. But still. I'm writing it down and summing up my week.
So, I've got all the photos from Prague and Brno and Kutna Hora. It's mostly buildings - unfortunately.
I've finished some projects, so there's a little less work. (Or not.)
I was at SNG in Maribor on Wednesday with 3 medical students. Watching opera. Or shall I say listening too... It was Romeo and Juliet (classical romance). It lasted three hours. And do you remember that guy I was talking about looooong ago? Well, this was only the second time I saw him and still - I feel like we know each other since i-don't-know-when. It's the atmosphere. I usually don't feel relaxed with someone I just met. It's the weirdest thing! (maybe I know him from some other life... =P)
Yesterday I went to church after a looooong loooooong time. The weirdest feeling. They asked me to play organ again. There's a Holly communion at Sunday and their regular organist went to Turkey. Well, I'll try to do my best.
Also - I got so many angry looks today... Sometimes it's really difficult to be an architecture student. But funny at the same time. (The thing is that we were taking notes and documenting one of the neighbourhoods in Maribor. And believe me - people become frightened when they see 3 guys with a bunch of papers and a camera.)
Since I got home from Prague my phone doesn't send or receive any MMSs. Any ideas why?
I decided  just a few minutes ago that I'll be doing a "30 Day Photography Challenge". We'll see how it goes! 
So, this was my week. And there's only 2 weks left 'till the end of lessons! Can't wait...
Hope to see you guys soon, 'cause I miss you already!

Czech R. - part 1

Well, I'm working on getting more photos! But here are some for starter:

Tugendhat villa by Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe (currently in the process of renewal - but it has a great garden!)


Villa by Dušan Samo Jurkovič and "Brassica Rapa"

FACTS: 
I really really LOVE the colour of "Brassica Rapa".
Hearing Vltava by Bedřich Smetana in the middle of Prague - priceless. (I think guys in that video are the same one! In the same location.)
And I love how the old buildings reflect in the glass-facades of the new ones.

kratki/dolgi stiki mojih možganov

Že spet se sekiram. Delo in projekti za šolo me spravljajo pod stres. Spet. In da se malo sprostim - evo me tukaj. Ker nima smisla nadirat vsakega, ki mi prekriža pot. Konec koncev niso oni krivi. Zato zdaj sledi neko nepomembno blebetanje o bogve čem. Brez urejanja, le to kar se mi bo motalo po glavi.
Odstavek.
V ozadju nekje igra Biffy Clyro, ki vsake toliko zašteka. Spet imam odprtih preveč zavihkov:
Moja slaba navada. Tako kot vsepovsod drugod in v svojem življenju, je tudi na namizju zmešnjava. Vedno. Pač želim imeti vse na dosegu roke.
Odstavek.
Prepričana sem, da poznate kak par, za katerega se zdi, da sta si enostavno usojena (ali kak se naj izrazim). Perfect for each other. Enostavno klapajo skupaj. Ne zdi se možno, da bi lahko bili s kom drugim.
Pred kratkim sem videla, da se je prav tak par razšel (hvala facebooku, da vem toliko stvari). In mogoče sem bila še bolj žalostna kot onadva. Ker ko se to zgodi, nekako nehaš verjeti v ljubezen. Mislim - če pa njima ni ratalo, kako zaboga bo kdaj nam?!
Ampak danes! (spet hvala facebooku) spet verjamem v ljubezen. Mhm! Mislim, da sta na dobri poti. Vsaj upam. (Čeprav še 24 ur nazaj ni dobro kazalo - sodeč po temle besedilu v njenem statusu:
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right.) To je tale pesem.
Dečko pa ji je na zid prilimal tole pesem. (Le poslušajte z besedilom vred.) Trenutno je v Romuniji, jaz pa budno spremljam razvoj (kaj češ, rajši to kot pa delo za faks). In jaaaaaa obožujem, ko se ljudje sporazumevajo z besedili in pesmimi!
Odstavek.
Navadila sem se družiti s fanti. In še ne vem ali je to dobro ali ne. Vse tiste nališpane frčafele v našem letniku mi enostavno ne ugajajo. Tiste, ki pa niso nališpane pa so enostavno tako zelo zagrete za faks, da "bog pomagaj". Fantje pa so preprosti, sproščeni in zabavni. Pa še FANTJE so. Če veste, kaj mislim. Je pa res, da so se zdaj, ko so navajeni moje družbe, še preveč sprostili. Kot da sem jaz tut en stereotipno tipičen moški. Glasnega riganja se pač nikoli ne bom navadila. Hja.
Odstavek.
Delat maketo ali ne delat makete? Odločila sem se, da "ne delat makete". Danes mi je res vseeno za posledice. Tudi za posledice neoddanih načrtov za korekture, ki sledijo jutri. Bom pač še naslednji 2 leti delala za nazaj. Čeprav pomoje sploh ni panike. Danes ne mignem niti s svojim malim prstom več za faks.
Odstavek.
Fascinirajo me tatuji.
In rumena barva oljne repice.
Odstavek.
A veste "un filing", ko se ti nekaj dozdeva, a se bojiš da si samo domišljaš v svoji glavi?
In še to: Ne bom dvakrat ponovila enake napake. Pa četudi se ves moj svet obrne proti meni.
Konec.
Razen, če se še kaj spomnim...

"silence is just another voice in my head"

Last night I just got home from Czech Republic. And tonight I wanted to go see Tabu, well known slovenian band. But I am just to tired to go and dance. And even stand. That's why I'm writing now. I was thinking I could show you some great slovenian bands which you may not know yet.
I would start with Leaf Fat. I know you don't all listen to this kind of music. But I think it's great to know that there are still some good bands out there in our little land.
I think that Ljubljana knows Leaf Fat well. But other parts of Slovenia not so much... I heard that when they had a concert in (I think) Gornja Radgona there were less than 10 person in the hall...
However, this is Individual Happiness by Leaf Fat:

 
P.S. Thoughts and photos and impressions from Czech Republic are yet to come. I'm waiting to get some photos because I only managed to take 2. (My batteries died the very first day we arrived. Typically for me.)

"Sch-tern?" he says

Mhm. Guess where I was yesterday. Yep, with a really really great band. Did I say great? I meant more than great - they're awesome! And even if I don't play with them, they have my support. It's just a shame that here in Slovenia bands like that don't get a chance to stand out. But I won't go all frustrated now on Slovenian music!
However, I have a feeling that they could be even better. They have the enthusiasm and energy. That's the most important.
OK, I won't go all "smarty-ass" now about music. :) Though that's what I normally do...
Anyhow. The guitarist nails it. Well, I already knew the bass player, drummer drums (sorry, but I know NOTHING about drumming) and the singer definitely knows how to sing. I think he's the first male-singer for which I am sure that he could pull this song off.
I really enjoyed yesterday. And for those 5 hours I forgot about all the unfinished projects for school. So it's a win-win. And obviously my first impression is that they are great guys. (And I came out as a really shy girl. Again. It wasn't really my day.)

Oh, and I didn't forget all the names! (As usually.) I'm so so SO proud of myself. ("Oh, yeah baby!!")

Loesje v Mariboru 5

In "Well, well again!" Blogger je vse porihtal in vse je kot prej.
Tole pa 5. Loesje plakat v Mariboru:

Well, well

Well, well... Blogger was down "for mainteance" (?) since last two days or so?
And now just look at that! Obviously two of my posts have been lost in the "scarrrrry woods"! (Well, they promised that they will get all the removed data back, but now Blogger is back and they "are still working on restoring some of the data.") Well, I can't do nothing about it, I am only dissapointed because I really loved that last 2 posts... And still... I am too lazy to put it back.

However, yesterday I decided that I just have to go shopping since I didn't have time to do it in a loooooooong time (it seems like since the last ice age...). I was looking for some jeans and a stripped shirt. Now tell me... WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?! I didnt' find anything that I would like. Unbelievable. So many clothes, so many clothing-shops, but NOT A SINGLE TROUSERS FOR ALEXX?!
Do I sound like I am pissed?
Well then! 'CAUSE I AM!
Well, to satisfy my need for buying something I went to cosmetics store and bought a nail polish. That always comforts me. Finnaly I found the color I wanted for so long (since last year btw). It's called King Of Mint by Essence.
I guess it's just like that: when you're looking for something - you won't find it. But when you're not - you will.

P.S. I also got myself an ordinary T-shirt that goes well with prevoiusly mentioned nail polish.

"Kauai - the lost world"

This guy makes really great videos. And the music in it is original. Just great...
This video is magical. Seriously.

I know it may sound cliché, but I really would really want to see Hawaii one day.

Video via YouTube by DevinSuperTramp.

It's ALL Fender, baby!

These picks are the most amazing! Thank you, my very very bestest friends! I looove them! And it's  all Fender...



Now I must learn some great songs with these picks! I'm thinking this or this or this... I'll probably start with the last one 'cause it's the easiest. Hmmm... :)

Oh, Monday

Monday, bloddy Monday... Today was a really sick day.
To sum up my Monday:
1) I was in MB at 8. That was 1 hour too early. (I must start checking our mail more regulary.)
2) Later I got really pissed off because of the amount of all unnecessary work we got. For a punishment, supossedly. (Only 2 gropus out of 17 had the work done 'till today - that's why.) I just don't understand what was our assistant thinking! Isn't it obvious that we have too much of other stuff to work on?! And that's why we didn't finish the homework! Obviously! And then she just give us more stuff to finish 'till next week! WHEN are we supossed to do that, ha?!?! Unbelievable...
Photo from Piccsy
3) In the afternoon I should have gone to mechanics to check my car. BUT, I couldn't open the drawer in the car to get some don't-know-what-license. And I couldn't go.
4) I start to think that maybe it's time to let some people go out of my life.
5) Well, at least we are all going to Prauge next week.

I will post something more optimistic soon, so don't worry :)

metal koncert

(se mi zdi, da sem se že malo naveličala trudit pravilno pisat v angleščini, ker mi itak ne uspeva)


Eniveeeej, včeraj sem bila prvič! na metal-koncertu. (Long-story sicer, ampak v bistvu je bila usluga za mojo sosedo.) Pa sem si rekla  "Hej, zakaj pa ne?!" Konec koncev sem slišala v pesmih ene ful kul klaviatursko-elektronske vložke. "Tej pa grejmo puglejat kak buju špilal!!!"
No, večer se je odvijal nekako takole:
- Najprej sem zamujala, ker sem se doma še trudila na hitro pojest eno banano, da sem vsaj malo potešila mojo lakoto,
- itak smo na koncert (začetek je bil napovedan ob 20.30) čakali skoraj 2 uri,
- in povem vam, da čakanje z zelo tiho in sramežljivo sosedo (ki je povrh vsega še 4 leta mlajša od tebe) niti ni tako zabavno,
- vmes sem spila še Shark (da ne bi zaspala) in je deloval še do pol dveh ponoči, ko sem se še vedno premetavala v postelji...
- ko se končno zadeva začne, stegujem vrat in celo telo (čez kakih ducat metalcev z dolgimi lasmi in črnimi majicami), da bi videla klaviature,
- razočaranje na višku! Klaviatur ni - zvok je posnet!
- in razmišljanje o smislu vsega tega, če niti nimaš najpomembnejšega instrumenta na odru med koncertom - ker klaviaturist bi imel največ dela v tisti muziki...
-(ampak ker je kriza, jim oprostim - morda niso meli sredstev, da pripeljejo kake ful kul klaviature).

Skratka, ko se sprijaznim z dejstvom, da klaviatur ne bom videla, začnem opazovati tole našo metalsko sceno. Priznam - malce mi je šlo na smeh (in sem upala, da me kdo ne gleda - ker z metalci se ni za hecat!!! =P ) Dobro, mogoče sem res preveč stereotipna, da sem pričakovala divje opletanje z lasmi in zaletavanje drug v drugega (a kdo ve strokovni izraz za to?). Tile so tam kar stali! Ravno in pri miru in ravnodušno! Po kakih petih komadih se nekateri začeli malo migljat z nogo... Mnjah, I feel sorry for the singer, ki se je vmes trudil spravit vzdušje na malce boljšo raven. No, saj proti koncu je bilo že malce več miganja...
Ko sem odhajala, sem imela v ušesih tak občutek, kot da se peljem na Roglo.

Pa še nekaj slik tule (za katere sem se kar izpostavila, da sem dobla boljšo kvaliteto! Hja, imaginirajte tole: še ne 1,60m visoka punca, ki ne posluša death metala, edina oblečena  v modro-belo karirasto srajco se med morjem črnih majic obilnih (in malo manj obilnih - no, sej niso bli obilni, ampak se boljše sliši...) metalcev premika v prvo vrsto, da bi malo poškljocala. Ko ji uspe, opazi, da tip zraven nje tudi škljoca - ampak z uno pravo veliko mašino (ala Nikon D7000 +)...Poslika hitro, kolikor se le da in se umakne nazaj od koder je prišla.)
Ah, očitno nisem tip za tale industrijski metal oz. melodeath oz. cyber-something... Kva č'mo.
Ampak vam povem tole: udeležba je bila tam večja, kot na kakem rock-koncertu na istem kraju. Stvar je za razmislit... :) In še tole moram povedat - globoko spoštujem ljudi, ko so sposobni iz sebe spravit tak glas (spet ne poznam izraza...help?).
