Charity Poker

Miss Slovenia 2013, Maja Cotič hosted charity poker event in Casino Lipica. I played poker for the first time and I have to admit I wasn't really good at it, but I believe I'll get better with time :)

But the whole point of event was not me, playing poker, but doing something good for people in need. The winner of the tournament, lovely Suzana Demir, gave money she earned to the charity organization called Podari malico. Podari Malico is Slovenian organization for children who can't afford to pay lunch in school. Their goal is to make sure, every child in school gets a meal. Check out their website and donate if you can.

Just a little help can change a world to someone else.

Resolutions

Today is my last day in Stockholm. I am not really sure how I feel about going home. I feel happy, excited,  but sad and scared at the same time. It was definitely a great expiriance to live here and I totally fall in love with this city. But it"s time to go home and start another chapter in my life.  After half year of being away from everything I"ll be back to my life. I usually make plans for everything, I make goals and I"m tying my best to achive them. I like to know where I"m going in my life. I thought when I"ll be back I"ll be relaxed, full of energy and ready for new challanges in life. I planed I"ll go back finish my bachelor"s, find a job, finish my apartment, travel and have fun. But half a year is quite a long time and things can change really fast. You never know what life will bring you. So I decided "ll go home withouth any expectations, I"ll go home open-minded, ready for anything to happen, enjoy company of my friends and family, try to laugh everyday, work hard on everything I have to just go a little bit with a flow. We can"t control everything in life, I was really scared about what I"m going to do in my life, I was overthinking to much and always wondering what will happen in my life. So I don"t want to expect anything when I"m home, I only want to work hard and do my best in everything, not expect to much, but do everything just because I like to do it, I want to give all my love to everybody just because I love them, not because I expect them to do the same. I want to do things that I like, not waiting for the result, but just do it because I like to do it. I"ll try not to be afraid of tomorrow, but enjoy today in the maximum.

Stockholm's favorites

So my Stockholm expiriance is coming to an end...in just five days i'll be bac home in Slovenia. I feel happy, excided, but nervous and scared at the same time. It was sure one great of expiriance and I really fall in love with the city. I'm really gratefull that I had the opportunity to live by myself in another country and to meet so many amazing people!


Here are some things that made my life here so exciting and fun. My Stockholm's favorites:

1. Shopping: 
BikBok, Gina Tricot, Cubus, NK....shopping here is really amazing and I'll miss it very much....Thank god Gina Tricot started shipping to Slovenia (juhuhuhu) so I can continue my love for Scandinavian style back home:)) 
p.s. now I just need BikBok to do the same;)



2. Places: 
My favorite nature place of all in Stockholm is definitly Djurgarden. It's one of the most beautiful parks I've ever been to and especially in fall with all the leaves falling from the trees is so romantic you can spend hours just walking around....



And my favorote city places are Stureplan and Strandvagen. They are both more fancy and posh parts of the city but I sometimes need a dose of fancy looking buildings, people and stores. Stureplan is where all of the fancy stores for window shopping are located (Gucci, LV, etc.) and you also find all the fancy night clubs there. And Strandvagen is a long walking road in Ostermalm what conects city with Djurgarden. Places to walk around and relax:)

3. Restaurants
I'm the biggest fan of all you can eat places! So all you can eat Pizza Hut and All you can eat nacho place ( you only have to pay for drinks which is insanely cheap for Stockholm) are the main resons I will have to go on a diet when I come home;)

4. Sweets
No. 2 resons for must-have-diet-whn-i-come-home. I'm obssesed with Daim chocolate I eat it almoust every day. I don't understand why we don't have it in Slovenia. But it's probably for the best, my body can't handle more.


Kanelbulle, or cinnamon rolls, typical swedish sweet with cinnemon is one of the best sweets I ever had!  And again I don't understand why we din't have that in Slovenia. That means I'll have to learn gow to make it myself:)



5. Tunnelbana
Swedish metro system. I love underground trains. It's somuch faster to move around city and Stockholm's undergrund system isreally clena and nice so i'm notreally looking forward to Slovenian always-slow-and-crowded buses. 

But most of all I will miss people...I really made a lot of friends from all over the world that I will remember forever. We had a lot of fun together and even though we don't know each other for long they were always prepare to listen when I needed something and made me laugh when I was sad. I'm really glad I met them and I hope I see them soon:)

So Swedish....

Lazy Kaja is back after 11 days;)  So after living in Sweden for a while you kind of start to be a little bit Swedish or at least you adopt some habits and do some things you probably wouldn't at home. So prepare dear friends in Slovenia I got some different things going on in my behavior;) 

1. I don't go for coffe anymore, I have Fika! Meaning I don't only drink coffie when I go for a coffee, but I usually get something sweet as well (which already left some consequences on my body);

2. I learnd that there is a queue for everything and you have to get a number if you want to be served in pharmacy, at doctors, when you're buying a train ticket, etc. even if there is no queue (if that is even posible), you take a number, no one will serve you withouth a number! The strangest thing is I acctually accepted that and find it completly normal.

3. Also I find it completly normal that you have to sing up for a guest list if you want to go clubbing. And you will still have to pay around 15 to 20 Euros to get in. Ok I don't find that normal, but still I accepted it and that's enough. 

4. I think the only phone that is acceptable to have is Iphone. I actually don't get it anymore why people don't have smartphones. And I'm totally embarrassed that I still have my old Nokia E5 and there is no way I will take it out of my bag in public. 

5. I find it totally normal that you can only buy alcohol in Systembolaget. And only on weekdays until 7pm and on Saturdays until 3pm. So if you want for some reson to get drunk on Sunday and you don't have any alcohol at home, you're screwed.

6. I learned that there is no waiters and waitresses in bars and restaurants. You serve yourself. You go  to the bar by yourself, pay there and they give you drinks, but you have to get your food on yor own. Sometimes you even have to clean by yourself. 

7. I say Hey everytime when I meet someone. And Hey da everytime I say goodbye. And I use tak for thank you!

8. I acctaully started following all the rules. In Sweden you just follow the rules. If it's forbidden to drink on the Subway, you don't drink on the Subway (just one example). Like that would ever happen in Slovenia:)    

9. I don't use umbrella. Only if it's really puring rain. But not if it's snowing, not even if its snowing like crazy. Hat and scarf  is completely enough!

10. I don't apologize if I acidentely bump into someone on the Subway. I mind my own business, I don't care what other people do. They can sream, laugh, beating each other (ok that's not happening in Sweden but still), I don't care. Probably if I would be really Swedish I would just look at my IPhone and pretend nothing is happening:)

Sales

So I had a little untipical Christmas this year. I was alone, sick, without Christmas tree, without Christmas dinner, feeling sorry for myself and having virtual conversations with my family. At least my family was so nice, they send me some home-made cookies :) 

But anyway, after few days of feeling sorry for myself I decided I need some kind of consolation gift  to make me feel better. And because I live in a wonderful place like Stockholm where sales started immediately after Christmas I went to the city to buy myself a little Christmas present.

  Well I usually love sales, I never understood why some people hate them, sure it's crowded, but you can get twice as much stuff as usual and all the expensive clothes are suddenly affordable. Ok, that was my thinking before I went to sales in Stockholm. Sales here are something completely different. 

1.Crowded has a new meaning, it's super super super crowded, you would think people are broke after Christmas shopping, but not in Stockholm, no way, you actually have a line in front of some stores and if you want to try on something, you can wait for around half an hour, and even when you wanna look at some stuff you have to walk in line with other people. Crazy crowded.
2. Everything is already taken. So you would think because it's the second day of sales you would find all the pieces you wanted in your size, color and everything. But no way, it's the second day and there are almost only big sizes left. Crazy really. 

So after three hours and only three stores, I was exhausted as hell and started to hate sales, but I got myself a gift that I deserved for not so much money so I'm quite happy for that. And I'll maybe even go for sales once more, just in case some small sizes are hiding somewhere in the back of the stores:)

Dear Santa!

Dear Santa!
I know there are many good kids out there in there world but I believe that my achievements this year have been really outstanding. I stared living on my own, I finished all my school obligations on time, I started my own blog, I moved to Sweden and I've been loving, caring and supporting daughter, girlfriend, sister, cousin, nice, granddaughter and friend. I am also very polite, easygoing, generous and modest person, but you already know that;) So I really deserve things from this year's wish-list:
1. New camera: I need new camera so that pictures for my blog will look nicer:)

2. Snowmobile: it's a hell of a fun and in this snow it's much easier to move around with this one:)

3. Onepiece Jumpsuit: Here in Sweden normal winter temperature is around -10 so if you don't want me to freeze you just have to send me one of these:)



4. Iphone 5: I didn't like Apple before...but then I bought Ipad ( i "really needed" one when I moved to Stockholm so I can have it with me all the time if I want to go online) and now i figured out that Apple is awesome so I want Iphone and also my phone is old, and i'm obsessed with Instagram and with Ipad it's hard to take pictures...

5. Washing machine: i still don't have one so I'm washing my clothes at my mum's once a week:S  (sounds spoiled i know)

6. Studded and Hockey cap: I love caps but I always have to still it from my boyfriend or friends and i think it's time to get one of my own;)

7. Ok now I'll be a little pathetic, but it's true: I want all me friends, family and boyfriend to be healthy, happy and loved. And to have a lot of money to buy me things from my wish list;)

Lapland nature
