IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

It's Prince's birthday today!!! It's almost finished but still not too late to wish him happy b'day (that's a tip if you've forgotten :))
We spend quite a nice evening and I think he enjoys his presents, but that's a longer story for tomorrow. Hopefully I won't have too much work at work (hehe probably you wouldn't say it in English but it sounds funny).
Ok, I have to go, my Prince is finishing his shower....
Good night all.

And happy birthday once again.

Za duzo tych jezykow wokolo

I just did a spell check. Apologies to all of you who have to try to figure out what I wanted to write and what I meant - I can't do the spell check at work for some reason and that's where I write most of my posts. I hope that after a few more years with Prince my English will get better. But now I feel sometimes that it's getting worse :( Well, my brain needs some space for Czech and soon French - that's right, I'm planning on taking French lessons again, it's a shame how much I've forgotten.

Let's go Sparta, let's go!

And Monday again... weekends are definitely too short. We had a very nice Saturday - first we went to a football match AC Sparta with FK Teplice, which was a lot of fun considering that I was always a soccer fan (that's right, not a football match - a soccer match) but I've never seen a professional match live. Unfortunately, there were no goals. But it was fun. And the rest of the day we spend with Courtney and Adrian: having lunch/dinner, playing foozball and pool and of course drinking beer. I really enjoyed it.
Oh, I almost forgot: it was really funny when fans were shouting: "Let's go Sparta, let's go!"
Sunday was very very lazy. I got up really late - at 1 p.m. (taking into account the time change - 12 a.m. which doesn't change too much - it was still late). I haven't done anything really, except laundry and shopping. And talking to my parents which is always nice. They finally decided that they will come to Prague!!! Yuppi!!! It took them like 2 months to confirm it, but now it's sure (I hope). I'm very very happy and can't wait!

Cultural differences suck

I was thinking what to write about. I don't have anything to do today at work, I've read newspapers, checked email and.... I'm bored. On the other hand nothing really happened. I am recovering from Budapest's lack of sleep. Actually on Monday I had even less sleep than usually. Our friend left to UK. It was very sad. Her father has a brain tumor so she decided she wants to be with him. We went for a dinner. And next month Elizabeth is leaving... I was trying to compare it to Sweden but maybe because we all knew from the very beginning that it's just for a year, it was easier. I hope she will be fine and that we'll see her again.

We had very interesting discussion at that night about Czech and American women. My conclusion was that American women are with men for money and Czech (and that would be the same for Polish) for just being with someone they want to be. Sometimes I notice that for Prince some aspects of the relationship are more like transaction: you want something from me, but what will I have in exchange. I can't understand that. When one of our friend said: "American women treat sex a currency", I was thinking about that and thinking and I cannot figure it out. We have more differences than I thought.

Hopes up!

Oh, I almost forgotten: while we were in Budapest, Elizabeth got an email from her dad: she is accepted to the grad studies! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Eksplorujemy Europe Sr-Wsch

Poniedzialek, godz. 13:43. Siedze przy biurku, wymeczona i spiaca. Po cudownym weekendzie. Warto bylo. Nawet dzisiejsze katusze znosic.
Wyjechalismy w czwartek o 23.24, nieprzespana noc, mimo kuszetki. Caly dzien meczyl mnie bol glowy z tego zmeczneia, ale dzielnie znosilam wedrowke najpierw do hostelu a potem po miescie. Do tego deszcz. I zamieszanie z kolezankami, ktore zapomnialy wziac biletu. Amerykanka i Kanadyjka, nieprzyzwyczajone do podrozy pociagami, dostaly bilet i rezerwacje i doszly do wniosku ze bilet to tylko rachynek i zostawily go w domu. Dojechaly w piatek ok 17tej. Z opoznieniem 2 godzinnymi i problemami bo bilet mialy na inna trase.... Do tego zadna z nich nie aktywowala sobie roamingu. W koncu wieczorem spotkalismy sie w pubie w hostelu.
W piatek urzadzilismy sobie spacer po Peszcie, wzdluz Dunaju (ktory po angielsku brzmi na tyle inacze4j, ze myslalam ze chodzi o inna rzeke:)). Wieczorem ulica Andrassyego i Plac Bohaterow - pieknie oswietlony w nocy, wpisane na liste UNESCO. I wieczorem Pizza Hut :) (bylismy zbyt zmeczeni zeby szukac czegokolwiek) piwko w pubie. Tylko ja usypialam - reszta miala drzemke w ciagu dnia, a ja nie moglam zasnac.


Plac Bohaterow noca.


Sobota - ciag dalszy wedrowek. Zaczelismy od Bazyliki sw. Stefana (slynna z powodu przechowywanej tam relikwii - reki swietego....na marginesie: nigdy nie zrozumiem, dlaczego ktos przechowuje i uznaje za swiete czesci ciala). Potem wycieczka poza miasto - do Parku Rzezb zgromadzonych z czasow komunizmu, rowniez spoza Wegier. To glownie dla Roba, ale ja tez mialam frajde robiac sobie zdjecia z Leninem i Marksem. Po poludniu spotkalismy sie z Elizabeth i Tiffany, wspielismy sie na wzgorze zamkowe. Najbardziej podobala mi sie Baszta Rybacka - mury z bialego kamienia broniace niegdys miasta.


Baszta Rybacka.


Baszta Rybacka 2.


Niestety, nie weszlismy do Kosciola, bo byl za drogi, ani do zamku, ktory nie sprawil na mnie az takiego wrazenia. Dziewczyny zdecydowaly wrocic do hostelu na drzemke, a my na przechadzke po jaskiniach. Troche czulam sie tam niepewnie, ale mialam frajde. Podczas wojny schowalo sie tam 20 tysiecy (!!!) niemieckich zolnierzy. Wieczorkiem udalismy sie na kolacje - tym razem do wegierskiej restauracji. Niee, nie jadlam gulaszu. Zdecydowalam sie na tradycyjne risotto - pyszne! I na szczescie nie az takie ostre jak mozna by sie spodziewac.


Zamek - orzel, legendarny zalozyciel pierwszej dynastii wegierskiej (podobno zgwalcil krolewne i tak przyszedl na swiat pierwszy wegierski wladca).



W jaskiniach.


Ostatni dzien, niedziele spedzilismy na wspinaczce na Gore Gellerta z dwoma cudonymi pomnikami: sw. Gellerta oraz Wolnosci. Zobaczylismy tez slynne laznie, ale tylko z zewnatrz, bo Ksieciunio zapomnial mi powiedziec, ze mamy wziac kostiumy kapielowe. Dziewczyny rozplywaly sie tam w sobote, gdy my bylismy w Parku Rzezb. I spacer z powrotem do hostelu po rzeczy i na pociag. Pogoda w niedziele byla cudowna.... A wracajac widzielismy snieg lezacy na poboczach. Za to dzisiaj sloneczko pieknie swieci - i mam nadzieje ze tak juz zostanie i ze pozegnalismy zime. W koncu!


Pomnik Gellerta

Nad Dunajem


Tak w skrocie wygladal moj weekend. Oczekujcie na zdjecia - pojawia sie wkrotce! I wszystkim zycze rownie udanych weekendow. Nasz nastepny kierunek podrozy to Cesky Krumlov, a potem Wieden.

A na koniec: ja z rozowym telefonem :)

Szykuj sie, Budapeszcie!!! Juz jedziemy!

W zwiazku z tym, ze Ksieciunio ostatnio sie poprawil w pisaniu blogu, ja tym razem po polsku napisze co sie dzieje.
Dzisiaj jedziemy do Budapesztu!!!! Jeszcze poltorej godzinki w pracy, szybkie zakupy jakiegos zarcia na droge, pakowanie (mam tyle praktyki, ze przewiduje nie wiecej niz 15 minut na to) i w pociag! Hurra! Bilety mamy zakupione, hostel zarezerwowany, plan.... przez to, ze nie mielismy internetu w domu, Ksieciunio nie bardzo mial jak zaplanowac :) On jest lepszy w takich rzeczach - ja bym po prostu lazila to tu, to tam, ktora uliczka ladniej wyglada.... A tak mam fajnego przewodnika. A po drugie jedziemy z trzema laskami i nie mamy pojecia, co one planuja. Dogadamy sie w pociagu, chyba ze one pojda spac. Niewazne, i tak bedzie super. Jedyny minus to zima, ktora trwa zdecydowanie za dlugo! Ja juz nie moge! Ja chce slonca i dodatnie temperatury! Najwyrazniej jeszcze troszke musze na to poczekac. Zabieram cieple sweterki, buciki i wszytko co najwazniejsze, zeby przetwac :)
Do zobaczenia po powrocie!

Juz prawie prawie weekend

I'm so lucky it's finally Friday!!! One more hour and I'm going home (pewnie sie zerwe pol godziny wczesniej hehe). Tomorrow rugby and probably dinner with friends, maybe something more / else. I hope Prince will feel better. He's almost fine. Now I have a cough but I'm taking loads of vitamin C and other anti-sickness specialties so maybe I'll win with winter-ending cold, the worst of all. And today was actually warm!!! Like 6 degrees (I have no idea how many Fahrenheit would it be, sorry).
One more hour....

Guy's rules :)))

The Guy's Rulesнннннннннннннннннннннн
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally, the guys' side of the story.(I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules!
Please note: these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moonor the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of theways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one .

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not! A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

I hate winter

OK, I wanted to write about something and I totally foregot what was it. Those weeks just pass by, one after another. And then weekends come and usually I do something interesting but then I need to wait next 5 days....Oh, it's probably because I saw the movie Office Space yesterday. Very funny movie and quite depressing. Except that my boss is actually cool, my job isn't so boring and everything goes well. But on the other hand it's Thursday and I'm already tired and just want to go home. And winter piss me off! It's March, it's not suppoze to snow any more!!!! I had enough snow last year in Sweden. Every day I wake up hoping that it will be worm and sunny. And every day it snows and it's cold! I WANT SPRING!!!
I don't know what we're doing this weekend. I hope Prince will feel better and we could have some fun. And I hope that I won't catch this ....something cold (I foregot how he called it but it was funny). Because we're going to Budapest next week!!! YUPPI!!! So I want spring even more!

Moustage contest

Looks like lazy day at work :) It's Friday - most of people don't want to do anything except things they foregot to do last week. Hmm, that scares me a little bit - the biggest problems appear always on Friday. On the other hand, I've just found a resolution to an issue from a month and finally we're moving forward with it. Today is also the last day of the 2006 European Moustache Contest :) It's a very funny event they figured out in my company - for a month guys grow their facial hair (actaully only moustage). The one, whose moustage is the biggest, funniest, most red (last year's winner) will win - today! And probably they will have team shaving afterwards. It may sound stupid but it's very funny, seeing all those guys trying to grow something :) Opposite to me sits one of them - and I can't not to laugh or at least smile every time I look at him. Some looks nice and better, some looks just so funny... But noone looks as good as Prince. Oh, he threaten me yesterday with his camera out of revenge for the last pic of him posted on this blog. But all he got was a very beautiful picture of a blanket (I was hidden underneath) :))

Just a next borning - busy day

Yesterday evening was awsome! First, I got my Xmas present - Thai massage. It was wonderful! And then I met Prince for a thai dinner, phad thai. Delicious.
And today I'm alone in the office, I have to much work, I have a headache and everything is crap! I want to go home!!!
