FINDING FOCUS

This blog has been a lot about everything, but never (except when I was on my Erasmus exchange) had any special focus. I have always hated that, but to tell you the truth, I always tried to focus on something, but nothing ever stuck.

I have always been passionate about food, cooking, baking, recipes and MUSIC. While posting recipes is fun and quite easy, writing anything about music scared the shit out of me. How would I know anything about music or bands or whatever. I'm just a regular girl that likes a certain type of music. Why would anyone listen to things I have to say about music.


And then I met THE BOY and he is all about music. Plays in a band, loves going to good concerts, knows tons of bands. And after some debating (and convincing), we decided to give blogging a try. As a couple. Writing about music, bands (mostly interviews) and also, about vegan food, since we both became vegan sometime in spring.

And the blog has been a success. Well, to me it has been. Especially because of the gratefulness and kindness we got from the bands we interviewed so far.

It's still hard to stick to writing, especially when there are so many other things in life trying to mess with our time, but we are not going to give up. He is my motivator and I am his. And I'm really happy that I found my focus, my blogging niche.



I can't say that I'm officially "killing" this blog, BUT, at least in the near future, there is not going to be anything new posted here. I moved my ass to SAWDUST & BEER, and if you would still like to read the stuff I write and post, follow me there. As it is appropriate, we have a lot of social channels, so you can follow us on:


Hopefully, see you there, my friends.

Love, Kaja. ♥

SOTW: THUNDER CLATTER

Untitled

Song of this week is Thunder Clatter by Wild Club. Why?
  1. Cause I fell in love with it the first time I heard it.
  2. Cause I have been a little mess these past few days and when I heard it when I was in the shower, it made me happy in a second.
  3. Cause maybe, just maybe, he is the love of my life.
I hope you'll like it. :)



Btw, yeah, that's me on the photo. I went longboarding on Sunday (probably the highlight of my whole week) and I took some time for a quick photoshoot and this is one of the photos I made. Can't wait to go back there again.

Love, Kaja. ♥

SOTW: I LIVED

Song of this week is I Lived by OneRepublic.

Why? Cause I went to their concert on Sunday and I still haven't calmed down. It was sooooooo awesome. I wasn't really close to the stage, cause I was too late to go into the fan pit, but it didn't matter to me. I went to the concert to hear OneRepublic (well, and Kongos, the opening group) live, a band I have been listening to for 7 years now, and that is what I did. And of course, I sang my heart out. I luckily wasn't surrounded with squeaky teenagers, which made the concert even more enjoyable. This concert was definitely put on my top 3 concerts in life list.





Love, Kaja. ♥

BEST. SHOW. EVER.

Shell Beach + Roam + Enter Shikari @ Kino Šiška (12. October 2014)

UntitledUntitledUntitledUntitledUntitledUntitledUntitledUntitledUntitledUntitledUntitledUntitledUntitled

I’m trying to find the words to describe this crazy, extraordinary, awesome show I went to yesterday, but I will just let the photos and the video talk for themselves (please, click on them if you want to see them in full size).

Great company + Crazy bands + Energetic crowd + Amazing music + Meeting band members + New hoodie = PERFECTION!


Hint: I’m also in the video (around 2:00), screaming back at the singer haha. I’m telling you … crazy people. :D

P.S.: As you can see, I'm not so blonde anymore. But I'm getting lighter and lighter every time I wash my hair, so I'm probably gonna be blonde again in a week or two. So no need to change my blog's title.

Love, Kaja. ♥

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

I'm a bad blogger, I know. I have been MIA whole summer, but I don't regret it, since this was the best summer of my life so far. I've been to many different places, seen many wonderful things, heard many amazing bands and met a bunch of interesting new people that made everything even more special.

So first there was Malta. After that I had a few days to relax, wash all the clothes and to pack them up again to go to Zagreb for a few days, to INmusic Festival. This was my first whole festival outside Slovenia. My favorites from all the bands we heard are: The Fratellis, Flogging Molly, Bombay Bicycle Club and of course, the best ones, Crystal Fighters. Actually, all the bands that we heard were amazing (with maybe one or two exceptions) but I don't want to turn this post into one long list.

Untitled UntitledUntitled

When I got back I slept in my bed for a night and then packed my stuff again and headed to Šentviška Gora to Gora Rocka for 3 days (2 nights). Since (almost) all the bands that performed there have been together for at least 10 years (approximately), I felt like I was in high school again. I still don't know if this was a good or a bad thing, but if I sum it up, the weekend was crazy.

After that I had 3 weeks to work on my thesis, which I still haven't finished (yeah I know, the prolonging only makes it worse, but I have become a bad student, I guess). I have sent the parts that I have finished to my mentor and I'm still waiting for the answer and hoping everything is ok and that I will be able to graduate as soon as possible. In between all the writing I also found some time for fun stuff. Thanks to two awesome girls, I went to see/hear a band called TOY that was performing in Italy and we had a blast. I also ordered and received my own toy (haha), a longboard, and it's the best thing ever.

UntitledUntitledUntitled

After those 3 (too) long weeks, I packed my bag again and went to the seaside, Camping Brioni (ex Puntižela) to be exact, a place that has been my summer home for around 15 years now. Great location, delicious food, cold drinks, fun people ... what else can a girl ask for. It was exhausting but so much fun.

UntitledUntitledUntitled

Even though most of the people stayed in Puntižela, I had to move my ass again and go to Tolmin to Punk Rock Holiday. If you are following me for at least a year, you can remember that I already talked about this festival last year. Well this year was even better than last year. I knew more bands (preparations people, preparations!) and I met so many great people that I hope I will see again soon. My favorites (bands) this year: Lagwagon, Authority Zero, Templeton Pek, The Real McKenzies, The Toasters, Start at Zero, Real Life Version and of course, the winning award goes to Reel Big Fish (damn, I love ska).

UntitledUntitledUntitled

When I finally got home, my aunt was celebrating her birthday, so that meant another two days of partying. And then my body gave up and I spent 3 days on the couch, drinking tea and pills. But now I'm okay. So let's get this party started again, right? ;)

As a proof that I'm not lying about everything, I made 3 videos: two are from festivals and are made out of short clips that I took while we were listening to certain bands (sorry, there is no video from Gora Rocka, because I didn't have my iPhone with me) and one is "about" Puntižela (also, just some random clips).




Ok, my existence has been proven and now I can go back to enjoying the rest of the summer. Keep your fingers crossed for my thesis and I hope you are having the best summer too.

Love, Kaja. ♥


POWER SONGS

I'm happy to report that I have been going to the gym and working out almost every day for a month now. The results are visible already (mostly to me :D). Unfortunately I can't measure my body fat percentage at the moment, so I can't really track the progress I was hoping to track. But I will try to find a solution to that. And I'm also waiting for my boy to take a "during" photo of me, so I can see if there is actually any progress that can be seen or is it all just in my head. Hopefully not.

The thing I wanted to talk about today are the power songs, the songs that keep you going when you are thinking about giving up. That mostly happens when you are running or on a treadmill, because the movement the same all the time and you get bored quite fast (at least I do). So I picked top 3 songs that keep me going, even though they are not the type of the music that I listen to at all, but I guess I kind of got used to the "gym music".

  

1. Timber by Pitbull & Ke$ha
2. Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo & 2Chainz
3. Roar by Katy Perry

The first one is a party song, a song that will get you started, make you think about the summer, about all the summer parties and consequently also about how you want to look your best for that. The second one is a "sexy one" and the "gipsy beat" in the chorus is the part that will really motivate you and make you keep running or walking or whatever towards the goal. And the third one is, at least for me, the best song to listen to when you are really on the verge of giving up. When I think I can't breathe and that my legs will give up, even though it's all just in my head, this song really picks me up, makes feel like a champion, like I'm stronger and keeps me going.

If you have been looking for power songs that will help you with achieving the goals you have set for yourself, I think I picked 3 really good ones. Give them a try.

Love, Kaja. ♥

PERFECT

Govorim o koncertu v petek. Super vzdušje. Super družba. Super glasba. Drugega pa ne potrebujem. Uspelo mi je narediti nekaj slik, se slikati s pevcem ter celo posneti nekaj kratkih videotov, ki sem jih na hitro vrgla v en video, ki si ga lahko ogledate spodaj.

I am talking about the concert on Friday. Great atmosphere. Great company. Great music. That's all I need. I managed to take some photos, get a photo with the singer and also take some short videos, which I quickly edited together into one longer video, that you can watch beneath.

CHEAT DAY

Hejhej! Kako kaj na to jesensko nedeljo? Sedaj, ko sem opravila svoj jutrani ritual (zajtrk, bloglovin, kava), sem rekla, da moram napisat kaj na blog. Nekaj na hitro, saj me knjiga Swedish Legal System že čaka, odprta na delovno pravo, ki je na meniju to dopoldne.

Hejhej! How are you on this autumn Sunday? Now, that I did my morning ritual (breakfast, bloglovin, coffee), I decided to write something on my blog. Someting short, because the book Swedish Legal System is already waiting for me, opened on the Labour Law chapter, which is on the menu this morning,

Povzetek tedna: V ponedeljek sem šla na krajši sprehod po Malmötu, saj sem si morala kupit karto za petkov koncert. Poleg tega, da sem šla v Folk å Rock, ki je založen s kupom CDjev in plošč in kjer sem kupla karto, sem se še malo sprehodila po drugih trgovinah, tako da sem malo spraznila denarnico. V torek smo imeli na faksu opozicije esejev (prebrat in komentirat smo morali esej od nekoga drugega) in če sklepam po komentarjih mojega nasprotnika IN profesorice, mi ni treba skrbeti glede tega, kakšen je moj esej. Naj bi bil super. V torek sem tudi dobila rezultate izpita iz švedščine, ki so bili super po mojem mnenju. Drugače pa samo učenje in dobra zdrava hrana.

Summary of the week: On Monday I went for a short walk in Malmö, because I had to buy the ticket for the concert on Friday. I went to Folk å Rock, filled with CDs and LPs, where I bought the ticket, and in some other shops and spend a little money. On Tuesday we had to present our oppositions (we had to read and comment on a essay from someone else from the course group). Judging by all the comments, my essay is ok, so I don't have to worry about it. I also found out that I passed my Swedish exam, yay! Otherwise, the week was full of studying and good healthy food.

The Royal Concept koncert: Ne bom izgubljala besed. Koncert je bil SUPER. Točno to kar mi je primanjkovalo zadnje čase (dobra glasba v živo). Tudi ljudi je bilo ravno prav in nihče se ni gužval kaj preveč, kot je to navada pri nas. Edina slaba stvar je bila ta, da je koncert ob 10ih že končal (kljub temu, da je bila tudi predskupina, ki pa je začela že ob 8ih in igrala samo pol ure). Ampak na srečo smo se po koncertu preselili v bližnji bar/diner/karkoli, in se še tam malo podružli.

The Royal Concept concert: I won't say much. The concert was AMAZING! Exactly what I was missing, great live music. There weren't too much people, which was good. The only bad thing was that the concert already ended at 10PM. But luckily we moved to another bar/diner/whatever afterwards and hung out a little bit more.

No Junk Food Challenge: Na žalost, ni uspel. Pa ne da ne bi zdržala, ker mi je manjkalo sladkega ali mastnega, ampak, v petek, ko smo bili v baru, je nekdo prinesel bombone na mizo, in jaz sem seveda popolnoma pozabila na challenge in navalila na njih. Po enih 10ih nepravih M&Mih, sem se spomnila na challenge in se hitro ustavila. Seveda potem nisem pojedla nobenega več, ampak ja, challenge je bil neuspešen. In seveda sem si včeraj privoščila cheat day, tako da sem za kosilo pojedla nekaj belega kruha in za večerjo uživala ob vroči čokoladi in Metkinem pomarančnem pecivu. TODA, ker mi je bil challenge zelo všeč, ker sem bila zelo ponosna nase, da se sploh ni bilo težko odpovedat vseh mogoči "nezdravi" hrani čez teden, sem se odločila, da bom kar vztrajala pri tem. Mogoče ne 7 dni od danes dalje, ampak bom vzela Metkino idejo o tem, da lahko sladko in nezdravo ješ samo za vikend (jaz bom dala še dodatno omejitev in to je: samo en dan v vikendu). Seveda pa, če bom zdržala celih 7 dni (ali več) brez nezdrave hrane, bom štela challenge kot opravljen. Kot običajno, sem hrano slikala, tokrat še več, saj je bila to nekakšna motivacija zame, ker sem na koncu dneva lahko točno videla, kaj sem pojedla.

No Junk Food Challenge: Unfortunatelly, I failed. But not because I missed the junk food and had to had it. No. The reason is that I forgot that I am doing the challenge and when one guy brought a bunch of candy on a table in the bar after the concert, I started eating them and it was only after let's say 10 fake M&M's that I remembered about the challenge. I of course stopped eating them then, but the challenge was failed. And then I made yesterday a cheat day, so I ate some white bread for lunch and some hot chocolate and Metka's orange "cake" for dinner. BUT, because I really liked the challenge and was really proud of myself cause it wasn't that hard to give up the "unhealthy" food, I decided to still stick to it. Maybe not for 7 days starting from today, but I am gonna try Metka's idea about eating sweets and junk food only on weekend (I am gonna limit it even more, only 1 day in the weekend). And of course, if I won't eat any junk food for 7 days straight, I will count the challenge as done. As usually, I took a lot of photos of my food, which was actually a motivation, because I could see everything I ate at the end of the day.

To bo to. Delovno pravo čaka. Na žalost.

That's it. Labour Law is waiting. Unfortunatelly.

Hej då, Kaja. ♥

P.s.: Slike (in verjetno tudi krajši video) s koncerta bom objavila tekom tedna, oziroma so že na Facebooku (link spodaj). Photos (and probably also a video) from the concert will be posted during the week, but some of them you can find on Facebook (link below).
