About...

You can read some of my favorite and most recent (chosen out of my blossoming blogging era) weblog posts from 2005-2006 on this site. For older posts, I suggest you to take a look at my good old journal.

Hey everyone. It's true. I'm having problems with myself. I'm not capable of making a decent layout, write a nice journal entry and start with 'Hola' and 'How are you doing?'. You probably know what's bugging me - school. If I could just do something instead of worrying so much. Seriously, I'm afraid that my stomach will explode and what's going to be left of me? Nothing, I'm telling you.

In July my family (my dad, mom and me, of course) went to arboretum. What a lovely place for old tired people like me. I haven't been there since 2002 and it was a nice change; no yelling, it was pretty quiet actually and lots of green trees they have there! Who wouldn't love it? I was so happy that I simply wasn't able to stop jumping and running around like a five-year-old kid. Just kidding, but seriously, I love that place.

How many useful things have I done this summer, you ask? I would lie if I said one. The answer is: None! I was too busy with sleeping late in the morning and sitting in front of my computer.

My grandma is very sick; she has pneumonia and remains in hospital for the second week in Golnik. The official title is 'The University Clinic of Respiratory and Allergic Diseases Golnik', but from time to time they also accept people with other diseases (instead of sending them to Ljubljana), if you have connections. Before my grandpa died, he also stayed there for about a week. Well, my grandma is old and the chances for surviving are small - the doctor told us that she's in a very bad condition.

Hola everyone! Oh, no, I did not come home from Spain or Mexico. I am thoughtless and simply couldn't find a proper way to greet my on line friends and visitors and neither did I title this journal entry 'Post no.17' - I am proud to say that this entry is titled Tristan and Isolde, which is totally unbecoming and hasn't got anything in common with the words I say (in other words, 'kiksnila sem'). However, this layout is just provisional with some new contents. Unfortunately, my Imagery is currently closed, because I have taken a lot of new photographs in the meantime and also want to upload a new layout. Like I already said, I will probably open it on the first of July.

Me and my friend T. went out today and she was all moody again. Is she so unhappy? Okay, I admit, I am the most boring person, but, you know, she thinks she is oh so pretty and interesting, while she is just so...repulsive. I have been competing with her since the age of twelve and I am slowly getting tired of it. It has always been like this: she thinks I am an elitist and I think she is just a parvenu. Our friendship is weird. We saw our ex-classmate with his girlfriend and he ignored us; how important we are! Whenever I see other people kissing, I blush or just get confused. Let me continue with the story now - we sat down at Evropa (my favorite restaurant) and had a pizza, called 'Bonn'; all their pizzas are named by a big city, such as Stockholm, Paris and London. Our pizza had a lot of ruccola on it and I thought I was eating grass (my dad loves ruccola!). It wasn't as good as I expected it to be. We went for a short walk then.

I believe it's getting late now, so I'll switch off my computer and go to bed. I hope you all have a nice month and don't forget to visit my Imagery!

Hello! This is just a short notice; I accidentally deleted Post no.17 with all my comments. I am really sorry, I cannot do anything about it. I just wanted to say a few words about my new layout: simple, colored with red and beige and Janez Vajkard Valvasor is a part of the header image, again. Otherwise, I have nothing important to say, except that the wind is blowing and I am having the worst head-ache ever. Think I will have a short slumber before I go on with my plans for the summer. Oh, Frank Lloyd Wright was born on June 8, 1867 (I knew I have forgotten something). Enjoy!

Hello! How are you all? I'm great, but I'm also a little bit tired. I came home about two hours ago and I've been taking care of my photographs and everything else since then. Yes, we went to Internautica today. This is an international boat show. I had a great time. We arrived there around two in the afternoon. The weather was nice, it wasn't too hot and I've seen a lot of beautiful yachts and boats. I've taken many photographs; You can see them here. I feel sorry for my dad, because he had to cancel his trip to Tuscany just to take me to the Internautica, but I'll make up somehow; maybe I'll help him to built another wooden Eiffel Tower...or I'll just paint a fence. That's always so funny.

Well, we went to Portoroz ("Port of Roses") then. It was a sunny day and we almost stuck in the parking house. I don't know what's wrong with us, but we were lost there! In usual garages you have to walk down the stairs to come out. Here, we had to walk up the stairs (we literally came on the roof of the hotel) and then we didn't know how to come out of the hotel. I think we were just confused...You know, tourists! However, we had a lunch there; in a restaurant. It was good, if only the waiter wasn't so slow and busy. We had to wait for almost fifteen minutes just to make him come to our table and take the order!

A special 'thank you' goes to all those who comment on my journal entries. I'm doing my best and I promise to return lots of comments soon. I'm just so busy with school right now. Hopefully, it's going to end soon. I haven't told you this yet; I'm soon moving out of quiet-storm.org. Rachel has been very good to me and that's why I'm going to e-mail her about this personally. I was looking for a proper name and Lisa helped me with her ideas; so I came up with Pilon. And since I'm trying to make a decent layout for my new personal web-site...Enough of my web-site. Thanks for the comments!

Hello everyone! I'm really sorry I didn't blog for more than a month, but I was really busy...and lazy, too! I said to myself I'd start working on a new layout, but then I was exhausted. I had no ideas and I wasn't inspired at all. However, it was a magic day today - I made a new layout, updated all my fanlistings and namelistings, added new links and there's also lots of new photographs from the trip! Well, I dare to invite you to visit my site collective and photography collection if you haven't got anything else to do. Tina asked me to go out with her on Friday afternoon. I think she's gone crazy - she literally dragged me from shop to shop and she didn't buy anything! I don't know what's wrong with her, but she's always so damn moody; enough of that. Whenever I go out with her, I come home tired like I went on a trip for a week. Please, not that I don't like her, the only thing I hate is her bad mood and jealousy.

I came home Yesterday - I was on a trip and had a good time. Oh, we've been to Italy and San Marino. Sometimes I think my mom is in adolescence (which is, impossible), because she keeps arguing with me for odd reasons. Why am I saying this? Well, on Saturday evening I missed a step and almost fell. Yesterday I accidentally bumped into her portmanteau with my suit-case and then it rolled down the stairs. Five minutes later I accidentally (again) dropped my trunk on her foot. She was upset with me for the whole day and didn't say anything for more than seven hours. San Marino is one of the oldest republics in Europe. Wikipedia has a great article on San Marino. I'm too busy right now to talk about all the great things I saw, but there's one thing I simply cannot forget: that amazing Mont Blanc pen and now I can't get it out of my head! There was so many people and crowds were everywhere! Obviously, my mom loves crowds and shops. Again, I hardly took some photographs; people are so rude and impolite! They won't move when you want to take photos. They just stand on the same spot and don't care about you.

I'm going to stop talking now. Thank you for commenting!

Hello. I don't know where to begin. I had an interesting week! We went to the Opera House on Friday to see Nabucco (March 11). It started around seven forty five pm, because they messed up with the tickets. I liked it, though. But it sure wasn't that funny when I crashed into a pole on the way back to the parking house. Well, here's the story : I was looking around when it happened. I always do that and things just happen. I just wish I wasn't that clumsy and I'm really glad I didn't break anything.
On Monday morning my grandma started to feel really bad and we had to take her to the doctor - I was messed up, I didn't sleep and it was damn hot for the whole day! So much for monday. My grandma is sick and she's probably going to the hospital next week. We don't know exactly what's wrong with her, but the doctors will do some more medical examinations. We'll see about that.

Well, that's it. I hope you all have a nice week! Thanks for all the comments.
