A wedding invitation...

... of my parents that I just found. :o)

temporarily addicted

While having economics class last year I learnt how to play sudoku.
Now as relaxation I play it on the web once in a while... and tadaaa... today I managed to do the Evil one as I realized one more trick that I did not see before. Yeay... Tralalalal...

it keeps on snowing and snowing... simply amazing :o))

Radar base instead

Last Friday, after 230 days Czech Republic's parliament finally gave the vote of confidence to our "new" government. A right wing ass-climbing government. The very night USA sent an official note to ask to place their radar station in Czech Republic.

So although we managed not to have the missile base here, we are to receive even a worse thing - a radar station - as logically radar station is usually the first target to get rid of. Nice.

I wonder why France, Belgium, Netherlands or eg. Sweden was not asked. Or maybe they were and the countries refused it.

Not Czech Republic. Our new government is all for the station claiming no harm can be done to our country, we will receive on the contrary higher protection. And no referendum necessary. The population is stupid and thus they dont know what is good for us.

One of our new ministers said one very wise argument for the station "the US base of 300 men will support the economy of our country, as the men will consume food and drinks in Czech Republic". Amazing economic deduction. Finally I understand why he became one of the ministers.

This is what claims one Czech physicist.
If there is an attack on USA, be it from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or North Korea, the logical path of the missile is not over Europe but over the Pacific Ocean. The missile should logically follow the way the Earth turns, from west to east. Thus the speed of the missile and the earth's turning will accelerate the missile. If the missile chooses the other route it will have to carry much more fuel and most likely wont reach the target. The question is how clever are the physicists in those Arabic and Asian countries - hopefully bit more than those in USA. ;o)

This all makes me wonder what is the point of the missile base in Czech Republic. And I suggest our prime minister should offer his own garden to place the station. He can also feed the soldiers.

The modern Noah's Arc

Svalbard, the nothernmost islands of Norway, can be called the modern Noah's Arc. The islands that spread over 62 thousand square kilometres and have less than 3000 population were selected as the place where the international bank of registered seeds was stored. The place is 300m under the ground with stable temperature of 18°. There are over 3 million kinds of plants placed there.

In urgent need of money?

Have you appeared in a situation that you are in a desperate need for money? Are you in really huge debts and someone started to recover it?

Eastern Europeans have found a way to get money. Go insure yourself and then cause an injury to your body. Depending what part of your body you hurt, that much money you get. Of course, you have to ensure the insurance does not find out you did it yourself, in that case you get no money and the injury is useless and limiting.

Insurance companies in Eastern Europe have taken measures as they have noticed a rising number of these "injuries". So it is not as easy to do so now. Czech R. has not yet registered such cases, I guess we like our bodies more than other Eastern Europeans (including Slovakia).

How desperate do these people have to be to come up with such a sick idea?!

Recycling

My sister became freak into recycling... paper, plast, bio, glass, aluminium and the rest.
Is it usefull? Should people really recycle?

Some years ago in Czech, there was an issue that although most of us were recycling the three main materials - glass, plast and paper, we found out that all the materials are being dumped on the same heap with the rest of the rubbish anyways. Thus all our work was useless.

Now it seems we are further than before. We received new dustbins, people seem to be using them again and all three materials are being brought to three different heaps - paper, glass and plast. Yeay.

To our great dismay though, we found out that the plast from EU is being gathered and transported to China to whom we pay and China burns it.
Well done, so much for ecology. EU has clean hands, China is the bad one. But Earth is only one so who cares who burns it if it is being burnt...

I wonder which country is gonna be the first one to make some unpopular decision like Bangladesh by banning plastic bags. How far does all this have to go before the governments tell the big companies to fuck off and do some good for a change.

:o(

aiesec from the other side...

I had a discussion with my boss, Alex, and we agreed we can really take an aiesec trainee...
We specified all the details and skills in 15min, filled in the form... and new trainee position in IT is about to be available...
As we were looking through some SNs suddenly Alex exclaims, why not to take the marketing SNs too, so in another 15min we had another SN form signed for 2 SNs in marketing field.

That is what I like... heheh, 3 TNs signed within an hour...

Take that, Bembridge scholars...

Kamu kerjanya sedikit saja! :P

Bowling

Another e.c. action - bowling.
We kicked us, including me. Usually I get to 70 points the most. This time I managed to get twice over 100, once even reaching 133.
The reason for such excellence was easy. There were two teams competing, the losing team was to do 10 push-ups at the spot. My relationship with excersice forced me to my utmost limits and throwing strikes or tens was almost easy :o)).

Finally I met Jenny. :o) It was really nice to hang out.

Vultures in a family

Probably not the greatest topic and nothing to be proud of but I am so pissed that I feel like writing about it.

There are lots of Czech comedies where the whole family is waiting for the rich relative to die so that they can inherit... In that moment, all of them rush into the place, looking uninterested, but trying to get all that they can. I never really liked to watch those movies, as I prefered not to think that there really are people like that living on our planet... If you told me my family will face this problem I would laugh at you. Mind you, we are way from being rich.

The funniest part about it is, that my family can careless about the property or money that we could inherit. We want nothing. And never asked anything. The other family for a change is all about the money... It is as if they have dollars instead of their brain. But it seems that as soon as you are craving for money or property, it is natural you consider others to be like that. You see others through your vicious, spiteful eyes and expect them to be like you are.

The older I get the more I see that kindness is repaid by carelessness or even with evil...

But I warn you, DON'T TAKE THINGS OR PEOPLE FOR GRANTED... one day they might not be there...

mdg6 is finally finished... bleh

Melancholy

Two things happened recently. Meeting some acquaintances and reading Devrim's post.

I was going home and I felt melancholy and I hate that feeling.
The melancholy usually appeared after I met some people or got into situations or places that will never come back to my life again.

I kept on thinking about it and realized that one feels melancholy only about those people that one knows will never be part of one's life again. And the easiest way to deal with it is to admit it to oneself.

And then I realized one more thing... the real friends will never make you feel melancholic, cause one knows that no matter how often one sees them, they will be always there.

Lastly, being part of something, having a new great life, goal to reach makes you satisfied with what you have and not feel melancholy when seeing or meeting people or places that used to be part of your life.

I am on a crossroad.
I am about to finish my University, recently I have left @, which means there is a completely new life ahead of me that I have to face and I have to realize what I want to do.
Furthermore, certain things that I took for granted in my life have changed and will never be the same, which means I have to learn to live with it. So the life as I knew it will have to change even more.
