You know, in everyone's life it comes to the point when a person just exhales and tells "Oh yeah, that must be karma!" But here comes the tricky part - does karma really exist? 
I don't want to interfere with some religious people, don't get me wrong. I believe in that too. Especially after what happened the past few weeks to my family...



 According to Wikipedia, karma is the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect. It is originated in Ancient India, but many religions "took over " this concept, like buddhism, Sikhism, etc. SO, basically it is about "what goes around, comes around", or if you make some bad decisions in your life, eventually it will come back to get you OR if you are a good person, making good decisions and doing good deeds, only good will happen to you as a reward. 


So in my family just happened something, I do not know how to call it.  We are a typical family. Two parents, three siblings. We yell at each other from time to time. My dad is the best person in the entire world and he tries his best to provide the best for our family. 

And suddenly, here come those weird situations in which we happened to be in past few weeks... To give you the best idea, we got three houses. Two of them are in one place, one we lived in altogether for around 20 years (of my existence and even before that) and the second one, bought and remade two years ago to become "sibling house" for my younger sister, older brother and me. So we were happy that this happened, so it is like a generation house, one house only for my parents and "together time" and the second just for us - siblings. Very close next to each other, looking just like one long house. 
The second house my father got built in 2006. His initial idea was to move there to live there forever. It is in a cozy neighborhood, 20 minutes from the capital by a car, with some nice neighbors and the ranch my father partially owned. But here come the turn of events - right after it was built and almost ready for us to move in, my mother decided not to move there because of difficult commuting to the city, because of no big grocery stores nearby and because of the fact there are no woods around the house.. So, the decision was made and my father decided to put that house on the land agency market and to sell it.  After seven years and leveling the price about 100 000 euros down from its original price, no one wanted to buy it. But it is a great spot for a teenager birthday parties or runaway for my dad who escapes here every time he quarrels with my mother. 

  • So in September, my dad found out that in this house we have some roof issues. So he stayed over there for about a month to fix everything and he started to clean the house, to make it comfortable and cozy and to finish everything he started and wanted there for ages. 
  • Then in October/November, my mum got sick. She got something with heart, my dad had to come pick her up, she was sitting on the bench, with 190 BPM and so on. She recovered (she is sixty years old) but everyone was sad and scared. 
  • Then in November, I was sitting in my bedroom, suddenly my dad came to my room and he has this "genius" treat that he announces the news with "a funeral look" on his face. So he knocked and said : " Your sister is on her way to the hospital, she got her elbow out of joint, in her gymnastics class" And I was what? WHAT THE HELL? What else will happen to us? So it was like 9 PM, so we took coats and headed to the hospital and we came there, my lil' sis sitting on the wheel chair with her hand in a weird position, crying and laughing at the same time (probably it was because of the adrenaline and pain and other shit). Believe me, that was something. 
  • A week later, my father and I were sitting in a living room, having pretty good time and in a good mood, when again - suddenly -  my dad got a phone call. He was like " WHAT? #$@$#&* &*$$# &&*##$" (explicit) and he started getting pale... he got heart problems so I got worried. And then he said " She said that someone robbed our house!" He was talking about the property outside the city, the big house in a nice neighborhood. And I was like WHAT? Because my dad planned going there like in two days to live there again for a while. So...it was pretty messed-up situation! We got there -there was criminal police (aka CSI, just kiddin', but something like that) and they were taking fingerprints and pictures of the house which was one mess! A month before Christmas Day! IT WAS HORRIBLE. 
  • A week later, I was calling my mom, but couldn't reach her, so I was calling with my sister and  she was like " yeah our house was almost on fire, the firemen and the first aid were here, in case" And I was like WHAT THE FUCK? That must be karma! But what did we do to deserve this? 
I don't know. For me there is no other explanation, that this waited for us for a long time and suddenly happened in a row to teach us something or I do not know. My boyfriend says it is not KARMA but just bad situations and that we are not watchful and take everything for granted. With which I agree with in some points.  But although, this gives me question if really does karma exists. Because I have a strong feeling that it does! 

Do you have any experience with karma? Or do you think it is just some superstition? Leave a comment :) 


Have a nice day and cross fingers for my family for no more "karma situations" happening! :(

I am weird..I mean really weird..
But the question is, who is normal? According to who is my behavior weird?
I just feel inside that I am not like others!
I mean, I am not a psycho or anything I just have a feeling that I am special... special weird normal?



1.) I can´t concentrate when I get home and there is mess around me, i have to clean it up right away and mumble about how everytime I have to do that.. 
2.) I love BBQ or some chill gathering but when I´m with many people all day, I have to run away for few minutes to be alone because I get annoyed by them
3.) I wave and say hello to animals on the street, or places I like or visit often
4.) I touch my bruises (if I have some) to feel the bruise pain sometimes.. that is totally creepy :D
5.) I can be really mean when I am not in the mood or have PMS or something..like to exaggarate things or to say mean words to someone´s face which I would not normally say.. I get angry for nothing...and the world seems so unfair and against me.. Then this mood goes away and suddenly I see everything different.. Is this kind of schizofrenic?
6.)  I like raining but when I am inside in some cozy clothes and watching tv or playing PS3 or Xbox or something like that. Or while falling asleep and listening to rain drops but I hate raining when I am outside!
7.) I love my iPhone! I would not trade it for the world! I go with my iPhone to washroom, to the cinema, to bed...Maniac!


What about you? What is your secret weird thing about you?

Hey pals gals,
today I'm gonna write about how I "did to myself" ombre/gradient effect on my hair :)
I chose to do it this hairstyle because I had never dyed my hair before so I was scared to color my hair completely, so when I found this hairstyle which requires to apply peroxide just on the ends of my hair I've decided to do it :)


It's been a while since this hit started around the world and I was one of the first who got this hairstyle in my city. Everyone around me was like why are you half blonde and half brunette and so on, and SUDDENLY everyone has it, so about 3 months ago I made it disappear and got back to my dark-brown hair... Because Slovakia woke up and every other girl got ombre now...:D

I think when it comes to change of hair-color it requires a lot of courage, but it will work eventually so don't hesitate, follow my rules or tips and tricks and let's do it!

1.) You can find so many tutorials how to do it at home. I think it is important to believe in yourself and not listening people around you who tries to stop ya! Do it girl (or boy, doesn't matter ;) )

2.) Visit your local drugstore. Find blonde HIGHLIGHTING COLOR -> this is the key! Do not buy blonde shampoo or anything else, find anything with a model with blonde hair and the word highlight on the cover! :)

3.) Buy it and be happy, it will cost around 4 euros ( I do not know how much in dollars) but is approx. the same price ( less than at hair saloon, trust me!) Run home and let's start!

4.) Open the box and read carefully what is inside!  I was scared, but I said to myself that is just the ends/tips  of my hair so it's not gonna be such a damage!

these I couldn't get before, now they are everywhere!!
5.) As my first highlighting kit I used Palette from Schwarzkopf.. There are plenty of Ombre color now  made particularly for DIY Ombre effect, but when I was looking for one of those they was not on our slovak market... And also there was not any of those which were recommended by Youtube gurus from US or England.. So I had to improvise.
I do not recall if it is this one which I got
because it was about 8 months ago..0:-)
but really similar

6.)  For the first time my boyfriend helped me! It is very important to have an assistant when you are doing it for the first time so he checks that everything is okay and when you are nervous about everything he is there to guide you through. So I applied this Palette highlighting kit thing on my tips. It is recommended to put bigger amount of it especially on ends of your hair because that is the place where you want it to be the lightest! ( yeah if you do not know that is the purpose of ombre - going from the darkest to the lightest shades)  I let it on my WET hair about an hour... and nothing really happened! That is probably because I applied it on wet hair - so remember  DO NOT APPLY IT ON WET HAIR BUT NORMAL DRY HAIR BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE! So I had to dry it and repeat this.. After 2 times doing - together about another hour - I got slightly different ends..



this is how it looked like..:) It's like caramel effect :P 

7.) I got wiser after doing it on my wet hair and waiting 2 hours for almost nothing, so I bought GARNIER COLOR SENSATION - highlighting blonde color cream!!
this one works great! I recommend! :)
And that one worked like a charm :) I applied it on DRY hair this time ( we are learning from our own mistakes) and I was brave enough to do it by myself completely (= without a helping hand from my BF <3 ).. Again I mixed all things together according to the tips written inside, and again I applied the most color mix on my ends because I want them to be the lightest....  I let it on my hair around 30 minutes then I washed it off and dried my hair. 

I really like it :) from the darkest to the lightest


Hair on Fire!! At some party-sorry for my hand:D

It washes off a little while washing your hair so do not panic if it is blonder than you wished... 


So again - tips to remember : 

1.) Buy a product with a blonde girl on it, with words HIGHLIGHT 
2.) Read very good what is written inside, use only those tools which are in the package
3.) Prepare a space for doing it 
4.) Prepare an old towel to cover your shoulders, old clothes, a mirror, a friend maybe if you are afraid of doing it by yourself (but it is DIY duuh :) )
5.) Wear gloves! They should be inside the package
6.) For good results is necessary to repeat coloring about 3 times! :) But don't do it on the same day, your hair needs rest! Do it max. 2 times a week!
7.) Put most of the product on the tips of your hair.. Start applying it around the ear area.. You can slightly apply also on side-bangs for better looking 
8.)  Leave it the maximum time recommended! These colors are not healthy to keep it longer. Check from time to time while coloring, if is your haircolor changing. Do not cover anything on your hair! 
9.) Colored hair, especially highlighted requires special treatment! Start using more balsams and things to protect your hair from damaging. 
10.) If you are not satisfied with the results you can anytime change your color back!-->

I changed back my hair color using Palette 3-0 DARK BROWN hair color! I just guessed which is similar to my own hair color and it worked!  :) Again I just applied the brown color on my ombre ends and let it there for about 12 minutes (recommended 35 min but you do not need so much time when you have blonde hair already!) and voila I got the same hair color as my hair roots are and no one spotted any difference :) 



So do not be afraid! You just need around 10 euros/dollars, bathroom, an old towel and watches :)

Good luck! Let me know how it worked!

Olsen sisters, Serena and Blair from Gossip Girl (even though I am not a big fan of them), Spencer, Hanna, Emily and Aria from the Pretty Little Liars series,Desperate Housewives, etc. What they got in common? (except money, fame and other pointless things :D ) => They are Best Friends Forever. In some of these cases it is not always so great, but at least they can rely on each other in every situation.
My question is : Would you be my BFF?


I have never had a perfect soulmate (I mean girl because my boyfriend is the best, no doubts, but in this case I mean a girl BFF). Someone I can talk to in every hour of every part of the day (or texting messages, sending pictures). Someone who would listen to me without saying " I don´t have time for your bullshit" . Someone who would love me the way I am: the crazy, voicechanging, always scared, hypochondric, always laughing or with the worst mood, loving animals so much, imagining life with many careers and activities, loving office stuff (stickies etc), admiring skilled people and so on...
Someone who would tell me the truth - about me, about my situation, about my weight, about my wardrobe (like typical situation at mall :"Of course you can wear that and if you like it then take it" I would rather hear a true opinion like " you have one fat ass, lady and this dress is not working for you!"), about everything.



to have a best girlfriend, but the right one, is freaking important!


Someone who would encourage me to try (new) things, to show me things differently.
Someone who would yell at me when she is mad at me, and not only pretending like :" you are great as you are, Vanda. I love you.." Bullshit! I am not great and I am aware of that! I am a big mouth so that is the way I expect things be like...from you When I have a big ass tell me! When I am annoying tell me! why boys BFF can do that? They can tell each other  " You are a**hole! Do this like that! " And not like girl BFF : "oooh, sweetie, you two sure will come back together!" No!

Many girls do not like me just because of this fact -That I say what I think like : " You are fat!" or "I do not like your hair this way, I think long hair is not the best option for everyone, it does not fit you! Being you, I would cut it" and they are all like " Oh, Vanda you are so mean, we are not BFF anymore"
What are we 12? Dreaming about the best soulmate, imagining someone from the "MEAN GIRLS" as the best option?

No.. I am far than that. I want a girlfriend (in like a soulmate kind of way, of course ) who would tell me the truth. Who would stand for me when everyone would hate me or despise me!
And when she would tell me " Vanda, I will be there for sure, I promise" then she will be there as she promised.. Or when we would decide to do something like going to the gym 3 times a week, or playing beach voleyball, or watching movies, going to the cinema, going swimming, dancing at home in front of the mirror, taking pictures of ourselves in crazy-fashion outfits and many more, she would do that ! She would kick me out of bed and convince me!!

Someone who would like my boyfriend (like a friend!!!! :D ) and his friends who are also mine, and she would not mind them around, and she would  make activities or plans with them...(with me there, ofc! :D )
Someone who would respect my schedule and who would be flexible... and when we make plans she would do her best to keep her word..
Someone who would be very happy to have a sleepover in my house..to laugh at movies, eating tons of popcorn and criticizing outfits of celebrities or their hair...Someone who I can share my skills to, but also she would teach me to some new things.
Someone who would shout at me" Hey, lazy ass, common!" or I can call her out whenever and talk me out...


Someone who I can open to in a girl way, with everything which it is associated with.
Someone who would do things for me at least as much as I would do for her :)
Someone who I could go for an adventure with or trips from time to time...
Someone funny...Because I can be very funny and also use a one good laugh :)
Someone I can rely on! In everything. Who would support me by words or actions.
Someone who would know everything about me and still loving me.
Someone who would find at least 30 - 60 minutes two times a week ONLY FOR ME! for a little brunch, lunch or dinner of a cake with coffee just to see how I am doing and what is up. Without stupid excuses all the time! If I can skip school why you can´t? If I can make it why you can´t???


I just have a strong feeling that I am surrounded by coward friends or fake friends who are not willing to sucrifice time for me or being here/there for me...  :(

So... are you even exist??
From me you can expect everything from above.

or am I going to be forever friendless?
or do I even need someone like this? Probably yes..Hell yes..I want someone who I can share my life and stories with. Someone I can invite to my wedding as my Best Bridesmaid. Someone who I can call to for advice with my children or baking a birthday cake or any recipe actually...


Whatever.

Yes...so are you there, my Best Friend?

Hey guys,  I´m having a "afternoon shift" today (from 12.30pm-9pm) and since I can´t be on Facebook or other pages( because as I mentioned in my latest post, behind me is a wall made out of mirror and the wall of this building are pure glass and everyone can see-through or can see a reflection of my monitor behind my back and I have to be very representative because we are very important company :D ) I just have a need to write this.


So.. here I am googling "HOW TO BE/BECOME A BETTER RECEPTIONIST"

The reason why I am googling "how to be a better receptionist" is because Im working here around 2  months (next week it will be 2 months, wow, how that happened?? ) and I am in trouble. But beforehand, this is like the first time I have a full-time job and PLUS I´m attending daily classes at my university - media communication (and many I have missed because of this job :( ) But I took it as a very good start for my career, in fact, any career.
We are also something like  "post office" so we are also accepting mails from outside the company and from co-worker etc. The last week I was called to see my supervisors. I thought that must be some basic routine (although we have like 3-month test period in which they can you kick you out without saying a reason etc and usually the "supervisor talk" is after those three months..)
So I was like okay. Then I was sitting there listening to things like " you ARE TOO FRIENDLY, STOP THE SMALL TALK WITH CLIENTS" etc... I was like ok..my collegues do the same, but ok I am here new they are here like forever... Then also came " try to be busy, make "busy work" because we can see you doing nothing very often " a that is bullshit because here on the MAIN RECEPTION = right behind the entrance to the building, so in winter is here like minus million degrees and noone gives a.... IS four of us! and when they do some daily-basis things I just sit and wait for some guests to guide or answering emails and it is pretty natural that I just "sit there doing nothing" but okay..
But then they said the reason why I was called there in the first place. It was because reputedly I lost some envelope in which was bigger amount of money! WHAT? That the man gave the envelope to me and he described it like " two girls sat in the front, one was calling and the other one was talking to clients I went back and there was the third one eating, so I gave it to THE NEW ONE! (yeah, that´s me)- he even doesnt know my name!But he accused me of such a thing! .... and they said I lost it (it should have been sent to another city), but they found it in another  place in that tiny room.  Then they told me that since I am a trainee they could kick me out without telling me a reason but THEY SO WANT ME THAT THEY GIVE ME 2 WEEKS WITHIN I can show them HOW MUCH I WANT THIS JOB.......
I was crying (after the meeting, in the bathroom) I was stressed. I dont remember that situation with envelope, in fact, no one does from my collegues. 
So that is a current situation with me as a receptionist. I love paper work, I love office work, I hate pretending something I am not  - like NOT A FRIENDLY PERSON WITH BIG SMILE AND SMALL TALK, but hell yeah I can be representative.
On one side I am hoping they will kick me out so I can focus on my studies because I am "slightly" behind every lecture and course but on the other hand I really want to keep this work, at least half a year because of my CV...
Girls here are telling me to run away because I have very good english  (I dont know if I have :D ) skills and here in small country like Slovakia is the number one skill in finding a good job.
So...
I will see...No I have two weeks to work my ass off to show them how much I want this (do I?) and also study hard for midterm exams and catching up a looot of school work..

Wish me luck!

Recently, I got a really good job offer. Nothing special, ya know. But for me it was pretty special. Let me tell you.
In my last work I was "a girl for everything", so as you know I was like cleaning, preparing deliveries and answering phone and running from one side of the building to the another, and so on. The collegues were not  so great, especially couple of them, so I invite some friends to work with me there and then....There was no more space for me. To breathe, to be better because I was already making things better then everyone there and they did not even notice that or appreciate it.
But as a part-time job it was a very good school for me in the way like what to expect.from myself, from others, from work and from life..
So the last two months of my journey in that job


 ( I spent there 1,5 year) passed very fast (believe me, very, very fast! ). And suddenly I "smelled the chance". I was going through those amazing web pages with - tons - and - tons - of - offers - for - job - when - you - feel - like you - have - no - skills - for - breathing -  let - alone - for - job  kind of pages and so I decided to send my CV to some places, just for fun.. that maybe it will be good.
Aaaand I was not so wrong either!
And then I remember like sitting in a meeting room with plenty of other girls (yound ladies) and here I am with a T-shirt and some snow-shoes and they are like all perfect, with amazing hair, nailed nails, perfect from H-2-T and me.. An hour ago I was like, no I am not going, I do not need a job, I want to concentrate on my schoolwork, I am certain that I won´t be chosen. Aaand so I was wrong again!
I went as the last one, nailed the conversation and a little skit. The next thing I remember they sent me waiting outside the meeting room for the verdict and I was like: " Yeah, they are going to hire me, otherwise I will be sent home with blablablablablabla "we will send you an email announcing this and that blablabla" thing.  I got aa loot going in my head. If they hire me what am I going to do with my school attendance and if they don´t hire me why am I here standing alone, watching them arguing? (Yeah, there is like glass everywhere litteraly, no walls as we know it). So they were impressed and wanted me right away, ASAP.
I was in the middle of my exams at the school and this is not part-time-(fun)-job anymore, this is like a serious job. Eight and half hours daily ( the half is not paid, it is for my lunch) and doing different things.
Let me explain shortly what is the company about. In my country it is the biggest company, with the (second) biggest influence on everything what is going on in my country. Also, there are many reasons why people hate this company ( especially elder people).  And I am lets say a receptionist. Not biggy! One of 14 others!
But I was sooo ipmressed. My duties are like shipping the mail, receive it and/or send it, calling to "CEOs and CFOs" that they have visitors, picking up lunch for other people, sitting and be representative, ushering "the best clients" etc. So as you can say very traditional things in the way of being a receptionist.
And the first week I was like "Ooh that is sooo not like my last job, I so love this" .
After two weeks I have not seen  my family, my boyfriend, I did not have time (or energy) to shower because one simple fact. I am also "the daily student " which is at our UNI from monday to friday!! So I have two options. The first, wake up at 5.30 AM to go to work til 3.30 PM and then head to school ASAP where I am till like 8 PM (in the good case) or waking up at 7.30 going to school at 8.30 and then run to work where I am from 12.30 PM - 9 PM !
Yeah..so I really cherish and appreaciate every second of relaxation, watching tv, playing games, hanging out with my BF or friends and visiting my family which has feeling that I do not longer exist in their lives because I arrive usually around 10 PM every night (if..)
So ...
Now is the case that I am writing this, sitting alone in the biiig glassy object when every rider or a pedestrian can watch if I eat, if I write texts or I am blogging....
I have always wanted this kind of job and now I am hoping (yeah, after almost two months working here, why not) that I want to get another (better) position (in this company). I am tired (and sick today). I like it here very much, and also my new collegues are not as those in the past work, I am very satisfied.
and now I have bad sore throat and want to go home to hug my BF and kitty... soo much. :(

Hope you have very good day, you are not sick and you are very satisfied with your job. Because if you are not, then leave! Leave sooner than later!

See ya!
