Blog & Life Update - 2017

Haj'mo u jedan fresh start, dogodio se u mom životu, a mislim da je i više nego potreban na ovom blogu. U najkraćim crtama - završila sam faks, preselila u Bugarsku, počela raditi, navikavam se na obaveze odraslih zaposlenih ljudi (redovito kuhanje, peglanje, čišćenje), pokušavam stvoriti i neku rutinu treniranja kako bih barem malo smanjila negativan utjecaj računala i sjedenja 9 sati na dan na moje tijelo i razum.
Sve to dovodi do kritično malo vremena za privatni život i bilo kakav oblik zabave, no kad nešto volite...

Dugo sam razmišljala kakav comeback (ili zapravo start ako uzmem u obzir svoju neaktivnost) napraviti. Nakon što sam završila faks, mojoj sreći nije bilo kraja. Nakon 18 godina školske/fakultetske rutine, uslijedio je blaženi mir. Panika oko toga što me očekuje dalje, ali definitivno i blažen mir. No kako (ponekad prokleto) nikad ne mogu predugo mirovati, znala sam da je vrijeme za veliki korak. Tri godine veze na daljinu stavilo je na stol ili jednosmjernu kartu ili prekid. Pritom nije bilo nikakvog pritiska, da odmah razjasnim, jednostavno zdravi razum.

Odlučila sam se za prvu opciju i došla ovdje, u Sofiju, u Bugarsku, u najsiromašniju zemlju Europske unije, kako to naši mediji uvijek vole grandiozno opisati. Reakcije okoline očekivane - ne idi, nemoj, kako, kuda, pa zašto.... Budući da nikad nisam voljela vijesti, reportaže, blogove na temu - odselio sam iz države i sad mi je super ili odselio sam iz države i odvratno je, ne namjeravam pisati o svojim privatnim pogledima na život ovdje. Jednako kao sto sam doselila ovdje, smatram da bih mogla u bilo koju državu, Europe ili svijeta. Smatram da je čovjek biće navike, gdje ga staviš bit će mu dobro. Uvijek i svugdje ima dobrih i loših stvari, uvijek smo nečim nezadovoljni, a drugim očarani.

Ono o čemu želim govoriti jest da sam, nakon preseljenja i slegnutih emocija, tek tada počela ozbiljno razmišljati - što sad. Bez posla, bez ušteđevine, bez znanja lokalnog jezika, nije trebalo dugo da me golemo nezadovoljstvo, a da ne kažem i depresija, nisu počeli ganjati. Isto ono biće navike, naviklo je trčati pred silnim obavezama te se nije znalo nositi s praznim i nepredvidljivim vremenom.

Na sreću mog zdravog razuma, ubrzo sam našla posao koji me je podignuo iz mrtvih. Opet sam u svojoj rutini, ali dodatno zaslađenoj životnim dogodovštinama. Znate kad se kao djeca igrate odraslih? Mogu reći da se i dalje osjećam kao da se radi o igri. Uzbuđenje nalazim u kupovanju namirnica, namještaja i potrebština za dom. Sve radnje koje su me smarale kod kuće, sada znam da moram raditi. I nekako sam našla način da u njima uživam. Tijekom dana sam corporate bitch, navečer u rukavicama perem suđe... Čini mi se kao da živim život iz američkih reklama... Ali se prije svega igram i pritom uživam. 😊

I eto, to je otprilike gdje sam danas. Trebalo mi je vremena da dođem do ovdje, ali mislim da mogu reći da sam konačno našla svoju verziju mira, sreće i ponosa.

Da bih si dodatno začinila zivot, tu su naravno neke male stvari svima drage :) Šminka i kozmetika u mom slučaju. U Sofiji postoji Sephora, toliko očekivana Sephora, toliko blizu mog doma, toliko ispunjenog srca. Kako malo zdravog razuma još uvijek imam, a ladice sa šminkom su već napunjene, ne planiram navaliti kao kreten i isprazniti si mjesečni budžet tamo, no prošetati, proučiti i vidjeti što se nudi, mislim da je dobra terapija i mali odmak od svakodnevnog stresa. Nakon svake plaće odlučila sam se malo nagraditi, tako da ću sigurno s vama podijeliti na što je pao red tog mjeseca :)

Nabavila sam i kakvo-takvo osvjetljenje tako da ako niste primjetili, počela sam ponovno s objavljivanjem make up lookova na Instagramu, pa svakako svratite i tamo. Fotić će, nadam se, uskoro konačno doći da red pa će sve i u tom pogledu sjesti na svoje mjesto.

Eto, to je sve. Veselim se Božiću i svim blagdanima pred nama kao malo dijete. Zaista se nadam da će mi taj hype pomoći da uspostavim neku rutinu i što se tiče bloganja. Ne bih se htjela ograničavati ili dodatno stresirati bilo kakvim striktnim rokovima ili planovima, no počela sam s pripremama za nekoliko recenzija. Također, kako smo useljenjem u stan imali svega par komada osnovnog namještaja, možda objavim i pokoji post kako smo ga uredili. Ono što mislim da bi svakako bilo zanimljivo, i ono što je mene posebno umirilo haha, jest da imam uređen prostor za kozmetiku i šminku tako da ću podijeliti s vama i neke ideje za pohranu svih tih stvari. I svašta nesto što mi još padne na pamet... Takav je trenutačan neobvezujuć plan :D

Čitamo se uskoro.... Želim vam ugodan tjedan :)

Let’s jump into one very fresh start.. It happened in my life and I believe it’s more than needed on this blog. To keep it short – I finished my university education, I moved to Bulgaria, I started working, I’m getting used to the responsibilities of employed adults (regular cooking, ironing, cleaning, going to work). I’m trying to keep up with some training routine to reduce negative impacts of computer and siting 9 hours day to my body and mind.

All this leads to critically short amount of time for private life and any form of entertainment, but when you like something ...

I've been thinking for a long time what kind of comeback (or actually start if I consider my inactivity) to do. After I got my master degree, I couldn’t be happier. After 18 years of school/college routines, there was finally a well-deserved peace. I was a bit stressed because of what’s ahead of me, but definitely I felt much more relaxed. However, since I can never rest for a long time, I knew that it was time to make a big step. After three years of long distance relationship I had two options on the table - either one-way ticket or breakup. To clarify straightforwardly, there was no pressure here, simply common sense.

I decided for the first option and came here, in Sofia, Bulgaria, the poorest country of the European Union, as our media always like to describe it poetically. Reactions from the people around me were expected – don’t go, how, where, why .... Since I never liked news, stories or blogs on the topic – I’ve moved countries and it’s great here or I've moved and it's terrible, I do not intend to write about my private views on life here. Just as I got here, I think I could go to any other country, in Europe or in the world. I think our lives are all about creating a habit, wherever we go, we can get used to it and feel good. There are good and bad things always and everywhere, we are always dissatisfied with one and enchanted with some other thing.

What I do want to talk about is that after I moved and all the emotions loosened up, I began to seriously think about - what now? Without a job, without any savings, without the knowledge of the local language, it did not take long before huge dissatisfaction, not to say depression, started to appear. Those same habits I got used to, such as dealing with many obligations, now were gone and it was very hard for me to deal with unpredictable future, without any plans.

Luckily for my sanity, I found job soon and that helped me to raise from the dead. I'm in my routine again, spiced up with everyday adventures. Do you remember how when you were a child you played of being adult? I can say that I still feel like all this is a game.

I'm excited about buying food, furniture, and all those little bits for home. Everything that annoyed me at home when I lived with my parents, now I know I have to do myself. And somehow I found a way to enjoy in it. During the day I'm a corporate bitch, in the evening I’m doing dishes in gloves... It seems like I live in an American commercial... But above all, I play and enjoy it. 😊

And that’s pretty much where I am today. It took me some time to get here, but I think I can say that I finally found my version of peace, happiness and self-pride.

To spice up my life even more, there are, of course, some little things that make us all happy :) Makeup and cosmetics in my case. In Sofia there is Sephora, so much anticipated Sephora, so close to my home, so happy about it. As I still have a little common sense left, and the drawers with makeup are already full, I do not plan to run into the store as a jerk and empty my monthly budget there, but to walk, see and swatch what is currently on the shelves, I think is a good therapy for everyday stress. After each salary I decided to reward myself, so I'll definitely share with you what I bought each month :)

Also, I've bought some kind of lighting so, if you haven’t noticed, I started publishing the makeup looks again on Instagram, so be sure to stop by there too. Camera will, hopefully, come soon too, so then finally it will all sit in its place.

There, that's all. I’m looking forward to Christmas and all the holidays ahead of us. I really hope that this hype will help me to set up a routine with blogging as well. I wouldn’t like to limit myself or stress with strict deadlines or plans. I started preparing several reviews. Also, as we moved into the apartment with only couple of basic pieces of furniture, I might post some posts hove did we decorate it. What I think would certainly be interesting, and what I particularly liked haha, is that I have a makeup space for stuff so I will share with you some ideas for storing. And everything else that comes to my mind ... This is current non-binding plan :D

Talk to you soon… Enjoy your week 😊

Petra xoxo
