Še zadnjič letos ... // For the last time this year ...

 

 

 (Samo na balkon stopim pa lahko ujamem zimsko pravljico. // I can just step out on our balcony, and I can capture this winter fairytale.)

Še nekaj ur je ostalo in potem, potem bo vse drugače in ognjemeti bodo popolnoma spremenili svet, da bomo lahko začeli znova in želje se bodo uresničile, skriti ljubezni bomo povedali, da nam pomeni več kot je veliko vesolje in počasi bomo zaživeli srečno in dolgo življenje. Tako nekako, kajne? :) Pa vseeno bo jutrišnji dan ravno toliko čaroben, kot je današnji, morda še manj, zaradi glavobola. Kdo bi vedel? 
 Pa dajmo šalo na stran. Vsem želim vse dobro v letu 2015! Srečno!

In couple of hours the world is going to change completely. Fireworks will change the sky, and we will all start over, and our wishes will come true, and everything will be so great and different. Quite possible, right? :) But still, tomorrow will probably be just as magical as today, maybe even less because of the headache. Who knows?
 No, seriously, I wish you all the best in 2015! 

Adijo, 2014! // Bye, 2014!

 

2014. Leto ni vsebovalo nobenih velikih potovanj iz moje strani, a je bilo polno novih odkritih poti, ljudi, dogodkov in novih odnosov, predvsem pa nekaj novih spoznanj o življenju, sebi in svojih bližnjih. Lahko rečem, da je bilo dobro leto: druga razstava je za mano, končala sem prvi letnik faksa in postala prava Slovenka, ko sem se povzpela na Triglav. In še veliko več, mnogo, mnogo več, kar je težko zapisati v kratkih povedih na blogu. Skratka, 2014 je zakon! Še dober teden pa se začne nova dogodivščina in čim več le-teh želim tudi vsem vam, bralcem, ki me podpirate že samo, ko odprete moj blog. Hvala! Želim vam tudi srečen božič! Naj bo topel :).
 Google + me je pa presenetil s tem prisrčnim kolažem iz mojega bloga čez leto. Super! :)

2014. I haven't been on any great travel this year, but there were still so many new paths I'd discovered, new people, new events and realtionships and new knowledge about life, myself and my close ones. I can say that 2014 was a good year: my second exhibition is behind me, I got through my first year of college, and I've became a true Slovenian by achieving the peak of Triglav. And there was and is more, so much more which cannot be written in short sentences in this blog. To conclude, 2014 is awesome! In a little more than a week from now a new adventure will begin. I wish you all, dear readers, to have as many adventures as you can! Thanks for your support, and have a merry Christmas! I hope that it will be warm :).
 Google + suprised me with this adorable photo collage of photos from my blog through the year. Great! :)

Drobci // Little pieces

 

Center je v tem času res poln ljudi in medtem ko poskušam ujeti prisrčne malenkosti, si ne morem pomagati, da ne bi iskala znane obraze v množici, ki se hitro premikajo med stojnicami in se glasno pogovarjajo v bližnjih kavarnah in barih ter ob kuhanem vinu. Jaz pa se ustavljam med njimi, ker bi rada to ujela za miren trenutek. Ves čas hitimo. Ves čas. Zdaj pa sploh, kot da se bojimo, da nam bodo božični prazniki in novo leto prehitro minili in bi radi v zadnje dneve leta stlačiti še vse kar se da. Mislim, da bi se morali prav zdaj ustaviti in se posvetiti drug drugemo, ker to res pomaga :). Pa še ena mirna pesem, rahlo nepovezana s prihajajočimi dnevi, ampak vseeno, vredno poslušanja. Za mirne večere in težke dni.

The city center of Ljubljana is full of people these days, and while I'm trying to catch some nice details with my camera, I can't help myself but looking for familiar faces in the crowd, which is fastly moving through the stants, and they're loudly talking to each other at near-by cafe's and bars. I, on the other hand, am stopping in the middle of the streets, and I try to shoot a photo of that. We are rushing all the time. All the time. And now, we are rushing even faster, as if we're affraid that the Christmas holidays and New year's Eve will pass too fast, and we want to stuff everything in these last days of the Old year. But I think that now is the time to stop and see each other, because it helps. it's good. :) I want to post this song for you to hear. It's not really christmasy, but it's good for calm evenings and rough days.

Čarobni december // Magical December

Megleni november se je prevesil v sivi december, ki ima to srečo, da je mesec praznikov, veselja in dobre hrane, zato mu sivine sploh ne zamerimo. Verjetno tudi zato, ker so se po mestih prižgale novoletne lučke, ki so predrle megleni oblak. Danes je celo posijalo sonce.
 Pa vendar je v teh zadnjih dneh leta nekaj čarobnega. Mesto se napolni z vonjem po kuhanem vinu in čaju, lokali so vsi polni, večerni sprehodi so nadvse romantični. Sploh pa je fino zaiti v center, ko končaš s šolskim delom. Danes sem se tako izgubila med tisočimi ljudmi in tisočimi lučmi ter vse skupaj končala z vročo čokolado in dobro družbo super sošolke :).

Foggy november has turned into grey december, which is quite fortunat that we don't blame it for that, beacuse of all the joy, good food, and holidays. And of coure, thousand of christmas lights that lightened up the city in the past week. 
 But there is something magical about december. The cit fills itself with smell of mulled wine and tea, bars are full, and the evenings are absolutely romantic. And its quite wonderful to go to the city center after you finished your school work. I lost myself in the light of thousand little lights, and thousand of people, and concluded this with some hot chocolate and good company of my great school friend :).

Mavrica // Rainbow

 

Pred kakšnim dobrim tednom smo bili radolški mladinski pevci na pevskem vikendu v Bohinju. Bilo je nadvse prijetno, kot je zmeraj v dobri družbi :).
 Takrat mi je tudi prijateljica, tako za šalo, medtem ko je pripravljala učno uro za prakso, rekla, da naj napišem eno pesmico na temo mavrica. In sem jo. Še isto uro. Kasneje sem ji jo zaigrala na kitaro in rekla je, da jo bo mogoče uporabila pri svoji učni uri. Čez par dni mi je sporočila, da jo res je in moram priznati, da sem bila kar malo ponosna na to. Sedaj jo objavljam še na tem mestu, malo za šalo, malo za res :).  Tule: https://soundcloud.com/ur-a-vurnik/mavrica-rainbow .

About a week ago our youth choir went to Bohinj, where we spent a great weekend. There, a friend of mine said (while she was preparing herslef for a lesson for her school practice), that I should write a song about a Rainbow. And I did. The very same hour. Then I sang it to her, and she said that she'd might use it for her lesson. After some days she told me that she really did. And I must say, I was quite pleased with that. I'm posting it here: https://soundcloud.com/ur-a-vurnik/mavrica-rainbow  The lyrics are in Slovene, though, but you can translate it if you want ;).

Okusi Radol'ce // Taste Radol'ca

Čeprav je tale vikend na videz turoben in siv, je bil vse prej kot to. Ko se združijo šolske obveznosti in sprehodi po dežju brez dežnika, za povrh pa še pevske vaje in rojstnodevna zabava, dan še prehitro mine. 
 Današnja nedelja pa je bila gurmansko in družinsko obarvana. Odpravili smo se namreč v gostilno Kunstelj v našem mestecu, ki je del projekta Okusi Radol'ce. Zelo fina zadeva. Bistvo tega je, da lokalne restavracije v občini Radovljica v tekočem mesecu strežejo posebne menije, polne domačih dobrot. Več si lahko preberete na tejle spletni strani: http://www.radolca.si/okusi-radolce/ 
Seveda je bilo kosilo več kot okusno. Za predjed smo dobili kruhek namazan z domačo pašteto ali skutinim namazom, sledila je solata z motovilce, hruško, orehi, sirom in rdečo peso, za glavno jed pa so nam postregli z ajdovimi sirovimi štrukli in svinjskimi fileji ter s pečeno postrvjo in kašo z zelenjavo. Sledil je seveda tudi posladek. Poleg zelenjavne tortice ali domačega sladolela, smo dobili še tako imenovano griziko; medeni biskvit oblit s temno čokolado. Močno priporočam, da v kratkem skočite v naše konce :).

Even though the weather was quite bad this weekend, the days were still very much good and bright. No suprise, if you have to do things for school, which, occassionally combine with walk in the rain with no umbrellas, choir lessons and a birthday party.
 Today we visited the local restaurant, where we ate food from Taste Radol'ca, which is a name of a special food project that inlcudes local restaurants and inns, where you can try special menus that are made only of local dishes and ingredients from local farmers. Worth a try. You can read more here: http://www.radolca.si/en/

Nikoli isti pogledi // Never the same aspects

 Pri tem malem vodnjaku si vedno napolnim plastenko. :) // I alwas refill my plastic bottle by this little fountain :)

 

  S ponovno vrnitvijo v Ljubljano so se vrnili tudi sprehodi po centru mesta, ki so še vedno na sporedu, čeprav živim na Rudniku. Pot od "doma" do šole me vodi skozi samo jedro prestolnice in bil bi greh, da se nazaj grede ne bi ustavila prav tam (razen, če se mi res mudi, kar je redkost).
 Danes ni bilo nič drugače, razen tega, da sem imela s seboj še fotoaparat, s katerim sem ujela jesensko Ljubljano (in, verjetno, tudi zadnji suhi dan tega tedna). Poti so še vedno iste, pogledi pa se vedno znova spreminjajo. Korak odloča o tem ali se bo zvonik cerkve skril za krošnjo drevesa ali ne.
 V vsem ljubljanskem "džumbusu" je tako prav prijetno nasprotje tole ustavljanje sredi Prešernovega trga samo zato, da zamrzneš trenutek s fotografijo. :)

My return to Ljubljana also means the return of my walks around the city center, which are still a part of my every day life, even though I live a little further from it than last year. The way from "home" to school is leading me directly through the center, and it would have been a sin, if I wouldn't have stopped there on my way back home.
 Today I took some photos, which depict autumnish day in Ljubljana ( I guess it was a smart choice, because appareantly today was the last dry day of the week). I'm still walking on the same streets, but the aspects are constantly changing. It's funny that a little step can change everything.
 Last but not least, it's great to stop and take some photos in this caothic Ljubljana :).

2.

 Drugo leto bloganja je za mano. Vstopam v tretjega :). Še naprej bo sestavljen iz delčkov, ki me obdajajo: narava, mesto, likovna umetnost, glasba in življenje nasploh. Hvala za zvestobo! :) Pa še pesem za zlato jesen.

The second year of blogging is behind me, and now I'm entering into a new year. It's going to be full of nature, cities, art, music and life in general. Thank you for your loyalty! :) And a song for this golden autumn.

Ustvarjalni oktober// Creative october

 

 

Z začetkom faksa vedno pride nov zagon za delo. Risanje, slikanje, grafika, kiparstvo in še risanje za Ljubljanico, mi trenutno predstavljajo največji izziv za nadgrajevanja znanja. Sicer pa ni težko ustvarjati, ko je jesen še polna sonca in po mestu vsepovsod diši po kostanju (ko bi le lahko objavila kakšno fotografijo, vendar sem, pametna kot sem, doma pozabila polnilec za fotoaparat in se vam oddolžim čez vikend :)). 
 Dnevi se tako krajšajo, moji samotni sprehodi me vodijo mimo barvitih dreves in pisanih trgovinic, nekje v ozadju pa mi na vest trkajo seminarske naloge. Ah, težko življenje :).

Since the college began, my creativiy is raising. Drawing, painting, graphics, sculpturing and drawing outside school are representing a challenge for me to upgrade my knowledge. But, anyway, it's not hard to be creative when autumn is still full of sun, and smell of chestnuts is everywhere (I wish I could post some photos, but I've, smart as I am, forgotten the battery charger at home, so I'll post them this weekend :)).
 Days are slowly getting shorter, and my lonely walks are leading me pass the colorful trees and lovely shops, and somewhere in the back of my mind something is reminding me of all the shool work I have to do. Ah, it's a hard life :).
