DAY 63

29.5.2014 In spite of spending most of my day studying either in school or in the Slovenian technical library NUK. Today was a good day. I got to experience sunshine and the feeling of summer while going to the city. It was magical. As per usual I bought myself a sandwich. Tomato, mozzarella and salad -best combination, the only thing I would wish to avoid(but can't) would be the sauces that somehow always wind up inide the generic groceries store sandwitches. Why? D: they are not tasty nor healthy. Anyhow, things that I'm still ponering over while sitting on a bus station, waiting for my ride home are the amazing platform boots with this kind of puzzle texture, I found in a vintage store that I've always walked by, but never entered (till now); the impactful thunder shaking up the spacious reading room so hard, that I thougt the windows were about to carck and last but not least, witnessing the serene silence and calm in the reading room just before its closure at 22.00 and then wodering around our beautiful capital city, alone in the evening, no music just  muted traffic in the backgroud.

DAY 62

Vid made this miniature flag (actually he made like 3 or 4 versions of it) and placed it on my notebook. It looked cute and it came with a message, that went something along the lines of: ''Everything under this flag now belongs to me''. Anything to make school more interesting ^^

DAY 61

instead of studying, I spent my time sewing miniature dresses for our new class mascot Monika. The idea cam form the manneken qui piss; which we were just discussing in French. I must admit I really had fun making these two. The 1st one is supposed to resemble Erika's skirt (same fabric). And the shirt is made out of the polyester that was used to make my skirt.

DAY 60

Today me and my wife noted 4 years of marriage. We met in 8th grade, became best friends, got married - changed our relationship statuses on facebook. Not realy a big deal, but to this day, we still call each other wife, wifu, žena... Most of the people, as did my class, give you a really weird look at first, but after some time they get used to the term and don't mind it at all. Anyhow I really truly love my wife, she occupies a big part of my life, my thoughts and my heart. She has really been there for me through thick and thin. I've learned so much from her; relationships, life, self-confidence, art ..you name it... I really can not imagine the course of my life without her.

So darling, I find it of paramount importance to let you know that I miss your boobs!

DAY 59

Hey! I found two gold-glittery tophats in the bush.

DAY 58

Caught a random dance competition in the centre of Ljubljana and treated myself with a cup of hot cocoa.

DAY 57

Me and Erika happened to come to school, both wearing the skirts that I made. It was a really weird feeling, because while I was driving to school, I was actually thinking that maybe there is  this slight chance of her wearing the skirt as well ...and it actually happened. + Bonus Vida had her camera with so we took some photos; ( Photos by Vida Jocif).

DAY 56

In the morning I found this on my school desk. It said "Have a wonderful day!" and "Smile!". I later found out Filip has brought one for every person in the class. It really brought a smile to my grumpy morning face - without even reading it ^^.





+

 Some of our buses are really old. The wooden seats are almost impossible to stay seated on (slippery!) + you can feel all the bumps on the road amplified by about a thousand. So today, one of these buses decided to go about closing doors its own way. When the diver closed the front two doors, the back opened and the other way around. So in the end I was left sitting across an open door, world passing by and a light breeze on my skin.

DAY 55

Lucky colour - green. Walking the line with wearing my most wtf shirt. A rainbow pony. There is even an unexplained story behind this particular chemise. It was found in my little sisters closet, by my mom. Still complete with tags and price. Size 42. No one in our family wears size 42. Where it came is still unknown to us. Well, anyhow I decided to keep it because of it's abominable design. This horse gives me nightmares, I swear.

DAY 54

Acording to Oha-Asa horoscope my lucky colour today is red... so Im going full out wearing a self-made shirt, shorts and one of my bbys <3 An eagle ring is just the cherry on top. :D

DAY 53

I wear braces and today, I had my appointment scheduled, for what I was sure was 3 o'clock something I wasn't sure, but my mind has already made a plan to head there after schol, reorganised my studying plan for later ... when suddenly at around 11: 30 I glanced at my tiny booklet and the appointment was actually scheduled in an hour. So I packed my bag, got my permission for leaving the school signed and left 3 hours early. It was sunny and hot (after a week of rain and unbearable wind we had deserved it). Mistakes can be fun ^^

DAY 52

Trying out a new braiding technique, using my dearest polyester strips that I have already used to 'dress-up' my shoes here.

DAY 51

Some nail art after a looong loong time. Attending my brothers church confirmation and talking to people I didn't know were interesting ^^ Some art and a demo version of me with short hair (just kidding not planning on cutting my hair any time soon xD). Also my new music obsession is Stromae :D

DAY 50

Found an old pair of red jeans that I borrowed from a classmate, I believe it was 4 or 5 years ago. I used them to cosplay Kanaya from homestuck, but decided to get rid of the improvised white buttons and wear them as a normal piece of clothing again. I'm juts surprised they still fit me x3 + of course i can't go out without my beloved crop-top and my favourite black blazer^^

DAY 49

Due to my lack of sleep in the past few days I deserved (needed a battery refill) - went to sleep at 6 (AND NOT AM! :D).

DAY 48

Morning run during the first 2 hours of PE on Wednesdays + music. I'm really glad there are still meadows with actual flowers on them. <3

DAY 47

It was my first time staying at NUK after nightfall. The whole place felt magical. The reading room itself already has that atmosphere of a dreamy library, filled with students and ancient books. I can totally relive my wife's story whenever I'm studying there. With the sun gone, lights on and few students remaining, you really do feel like you are in a fairytale. Even if only for those 5 minutes of break you take with your favourite music, you feel free of all the worries and problems. You just exist. Comfortable chair, warmness, yellow light shining on your notebook and peace.

DAY 46

Finished product. Just seeing a person wear something that you made..and liking it ..it feels amazing. It really adds another dimension to my clothes-making. So far I have been sewing solely for myself (and well, for my closest frineds). But stressing over your work,  being nervous about the fit, the length, the folds' size..... and have it all pay off. It feels amazing.

DAY 45

Studied in a student reading room at Boršnikov trg. during my 20 min breaks, i went out to look around and sketch the city. This is the sketch I liked most. It's this arch opening to an inner yard with an interesting graffiti.

DAY 44

This year i was sick during one of schools 'sport days', so I had to participate in some sort of a sport event. I chose the same thing a s last year, Pot ob žici. It's a memorial path around Ljubljana, 35 km in length. During the WW2, there was a tall metal fence circling the city, making it hard for people to pass either was and It was a time of general hardship and fear. In tribute of tragic events, and annual march has been organised since 1957. This year I went it alone, because none of my friends had time. Well I did take Tyra with me. To get to where the patch began, I had to ride a bus, and for a dog to ride a bus, it has to have a proper muzzle. Since Tyra never needed one, I had to buy it. Since the shop didn't have many sizes available, I bough a size too big and sewed it together to fit Tyra. She was quite scared at first but got used to it after 10 min. Because of her I also got the chance to start a conversation with an old couple on the bus on my way back. It felt nice to bring a smile to their faces. I really appreciated a short course on how to converse with older people, because a lot of times they feel excluded and alone in this fast modern society. Being able to make their day better really put the cherry on top of an already amazing day.

DAY 43

Got to try Vietnamese chicken sticks on Ljubljana open-kitchen event. Met some old friends and made some new ones. Fluffy ones. And had fun with my classmates at The Capitols. Awesome photos by my friend.

DAY 42

Started working on a skirt for my classmate. She really liked the skirt I made for myself ...and already had fabric bought. I think this is going to turn out the way I want it too. no problems so far.

DAY 41

It's a gigantic nutella pancake with whipped cream on top. -NOM :3

DAY 40

I like it.
Unknown radio station, slight droning of a bus, I can't even hear the music.
About to miss the bus, the bus driver picked me up in front of my house.
There are nice people on this bus - empty seats.
Cold morning breeze ...  and sun. On the left.

Person by the road.

It's 6.43 am.

DAY 39

Studied at NUK (finally sorted out my membership card). Discovered a wonderful gallery  - mostly contemporary Slovenian artists, tons of amazing graphics. And after watching this video, the afro guy happened. Today I don't really feel like writing because I'm really tired ... so goodnight :) ...-also wore my skirt to school for the first time^^.

DAY 38

Spent the whole day home alone, listening to music on max volume, getting rid of half of my clothes (I didn't wear them anyway). Had a pizza with my wifu and watched a movie. And it was sunny. :D

DAY 37

Today I've decided to sew a dress. I've been wanting to try this sheer-panel effect since I first saw it on Project runway all stars. I was home alone with plenty of space and time...so this happened. I've  wanted to create something high-wasted, and not too short. I've used an old leftover zipper to give it a bit of structure and weight, added a sheer panel in between, made a few folds and added a proper waistline. In the end I sewed a hidden zipper in the back ...aaand pockets. I was terified of making them since this was the first time I've made pockets by myself but I think they turned out quite well. Since I didn't have any crop-tops, I had to alter an old shirt to go with it. A bow that I'm wearing is also made by me, but I've promised to give it to a friend, to complete her lolita coord.

DAY 36

Drawing ..inspired by X2 (X Men) and some strangers on Omegle.

DAY 35

I needed a pick-me-up kind of lax comedy movie ..and this one exceeded my expectations. It genuinely made me laugh and I just love both main actresses.
