Been wanting to watch this movie so bad.(The Fault In Our Stars). Veni, vidi, vici!
I was prepared for it ( maybe to much). (cause I) Didn't cried. (ok, maybe) One or two tears, here and there.
Can not say: 'Go watch it, it's a wonderful movie' or 'Don't go, don't watch it, it's a typical teenage drama with cancer involved'. I don't judge. I learn.
Definitely go check it out. It will spoke to you, maybe differently than it has spoken to me. Let it tell you something. Something about: love, life, cancer, stars, problems, solutions, support, death... Something like: Even if it's bad, it still can be good. It depends of you. Choose wisely.
Nedeljna avantura!
Jako sam želela da pogledam ovaj film.(Krive su zvezde). I jesam. Veni, vidi, vici - što bi rekao Cezar.
Iskreno, bila sam pripremljena na film, i priču, i suze (možda i previše). (jer) Nisam plakala. (dobro, možda) Jedna ili dve suze, tu i tamo.
Ne mogu reći: 'Idite, pogledajte ga, film je predivan', niti 'Ne idite, ne gledajte, to je tipična tinejdž drama, koja uključuje rak kao temu'. Ja ne sudim. Ja učim.
Definitivno biste trebali da ga pogledate. Obratiće vam se, možda drugačije nego što se meni obratio. Reći će vam nešto. Nešto o: ljubavi, životu, raku, zvezdama, problemima, rešenjima, podršci, smrti... Nešto kao: Čak i kada je loše, ipak može biti dobro. Od tebe zavisi. Biraj mudro.

Ok, this week...What we got?...(prepare yourself for a stupid joke)
-We GOT7! (you see what I did there, khkhkhkhkh...got...7...I'm so funny, aren't I? . . .)
GOT7 made a first comeback (a first one after debut promo, obviously). It was last week, but I've realized that fact right after I've posted about BEAST, last Thursday. So, I just "save them" for this weeks post. And that was pure luck, because I have no idea who would I choose for this Thursday to talk about, among other active groups, cause I actually...ahm...didn't like much of what I saw/heard, probably because ONE CANNOT SIMPLY LIKE ALL OF THEM. Anyway...To be honest, I'm not too impressed with GOT7s "A" either. What can I say - I'm just not fan of cute concepts. I mean, it's ok, most of the times it's bearable, but sometimes it's just to much (and by "to much", I mean "irritating"). At first I was disappointed with a song, but as time goes by,I think it grew on me...
Onto the songs.
"A" is, like, opposite of GOT7s debut song "Girls,Girls,Girls"(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sAoKmg7qPI) (let's just pretend that first minute(or so) of this mv doesn't exist). While "Girls.." is more like swaggy type of a song, "A" is more like innocent-cute-firstlovestory-song. You may think that the tittle stands for the first letter of a girls name, or that it can stand for any girls name out there( -fill in the blank- kind of tittle) but no... it's practically - Hey, without H. It can be used in any situation, and it can have different meanings(just.. Korean ways to express your feelings with a few letters/sounds) . In this case it means - A(Hey)girl I know it all, why do you keep hiding that you like me! What's cool is that we have english sub of lyrics. Bravo JYP, bravo!!!(JYP is the name of got7s agency). MV is very colorful and comedy-like. The dance is a little bit funny and awkward. I think that members are slightly embarrassed by this concept, but they gotta do, what they gotta do. All in all - not impressed, not impressed...Did I mention that JYP is a singer too, and that this song sounds just like one of his tracks (Well, it does!) Ova šala sa početka teksta ima smisla samo na eng jeziku. Sorke. Ko razume, shvatiće. Ove nedelje, eto nama GOT7 comebacka. U stvari, bio je prošle nedelje, ali to sam shvatila tek po objavi teksta o BEASTu, u prošlog četvrtka. Pa ih taman "sačuvah" za ovu nedelju. Sreća, jer stvarno ne bih imala pojma o kom od drugih comebackova da pišem, jer ono...ništa što sam imala prilike da vidim-čujem...nije mi se svidelo. Prosto, čoveku(meni) se ne može uvek i sve sviđati. Da budem iskrena, ni njihova nova pesma "A" me nije baš impresionirala. Šta da kažem - nisam fan cute koncepata i tačka. Mislim...ok, u većini slučajeva su podnošljivi, ali ponekad su stvarno previše (kad kažem "previše", mislim "iritantni"). U početku mi se pesma uopšte nije dopala, ali kako vreme prolazi, nekako se navikavam, ok je. Da pređemo na pesme. "A" je suprotnost njihove prve pesme"Girls,Girls,Girls(link u drugom pasusu eng teksta - pretvarajmo se da prvih minut i nešto tog videa ne postoji). Dok je "Girls.." pesma sa zrelijim i samopouzdanijim pristupom, "A" je više slatkasta-naivna-prva ljubav pesmica. Možda ste pomislili da to A u nazivu znači prvo slovo imena neke devojke, ili da je reč o tipu naslova gde to A može predstavljati bilo koje žensko ime (u fazonu- popuni prazno polje)...e pa nije. "A", ako izgovorimo na engleskom, zvuči kao naše Ej, koje upotrebljavamo u najrazličitijim situacijama, sa najrazlilitijim značenjima. U ovom slučaju, "Ej" bi značilo - Ej, znam sve, zašto kriješ da ti se sviđam...i te neke frazetine. Super stvar je što na samom spotu dobijate prevod teksta na eng. Bravo, JYP, bravo( to je naziv njihove agencije, kao i inicijali vlasnika agencije). Što se tiče spota - prilično je šaren, i komičan, pretpostavljam da je ideja bila da bude po svaku cenu dopadljiv. I koreografija je pomalo smešna i čudnjikava. Mislim da su i sami članovi grupe malčice posramljeni prilikom izvođenja iste, ali šta da se radi, što se mora, nije teško. Sve u svemu - ništa posebno, nisam impresionirana. A da, jesam li spomenula da je JYP pevač i da ova pesma zvuči kao da je jedna od njegovih. E, pa zvuči.
BUT, here we have another song that they're promoting. It's called "Good Tonight". Well, that's something you'd expect from this 7 charming boys. The tittle itself explains it all. I can't decide (who)whose voice I like the most(really I can not). They have different personalities, so it's hard to choose. I've managed to narrow it down to 4 of them: Mark, Jackson, JB, and Jr. (Jr. seems so... mature at times, FYI he is the one at 0.40). The lyrics, the dance... I love everything. This concept suits them better.(Please JYP(it also the name of CEO of agency), restrain yourself from making cute songs for them)! However, those backflips and the Yugyeoms glance and clapping at the end of the song....hfhffshfjs...you guys are grown:)). Here it is...live performance. Black all the way.
ALI, ovde imamo još jednu pesmu koju promovišu. Zove se "Good Tonight". E to je nešto što bi se od ove šarmantne sedmorke očekivalo. Sam naslov sve objašnjava. Samo... još uvek ne mogu da se odlučim (ko) čiji mi se glas najviše dopada(stvarno je teško). Prilično su različiti karakteri, pa zato. -Ali uspela sam nekako da suzim izbor na četvoricu: Mark, Džekson, DžejBi, Džunior (Jr ponekad izgleda....tako zrelo(...mmmda...),ako vas zanima-to je ovaj na 0.40). Tekst, koreografija...ma sve je super. Taj koncept im definitivno mnogo bolje leži. Tako da, JYP, molim te se suzdrži od pravljenja im slatkih pesmica. E, e...oni okreti i Jugjomov pogled i tapšanje(?) na kraju...hfhffshfjs...dečaci, odrasli ste :)) Evo ga...živi nastup. Crno...divnoća.
This weeks recommendation: Jun. K "No Love" (also from JYP, also you have eng sub)
Preporuka za ovu nedelju: Jun. K "No Love" (isto je iz JYPa, isto imate eng prevod....(ali zašto ja onda ovo pišem na srpskom, ako vi razumete engleski....mmmm...taj prevod će razumeti samo oni koji razumeju eng....da f....nepotrebno skroz)
Ok, I just got an idea... How about posting and reviewing some of the interesting kpop MV-s every Thursday? Somethin' like: "this group released this, and I think this about it"... Hope you'll find it entertaining! I have a thing for kpop and all that jazz :), just FYI. Warning: Once you like it(KPOP), there is no way out :)
Ok, upravo dobih jednu ideju... Šta mislite o tome da postavljam i ....(f, koji li je srpski prevod reviewa ) ocenjujem(?) neke od interesantnih kpop spotova, i to svakog četvrtka? Nešto kao: "ova grupa je izbacila to i to, a ja mislim to o tome"... Nadam se da će vam biti zanimljivo! Inače, za vašu informaciju, ja sam navučena na kpop i sav taj džez :)
Upozorenje: Jednom kada vam se svidi(KPOP), nema nazad :)
There, you have been warned. Now let's jump, and hope for the best!!!
Tako, upozoreni ste. A sad skočimo, i nadajmo se najboljem!!!
There is lots of comebacks lately (*comeback- the promotional activities of a kpop artists, even when the group did not go on hiatus), so I have a trouble to pick one of the curentlly active ones. Mmhmmhmm....maybe....BEAST? Yes, I choose them. Reasons? Ahmm, I have a million of them, do you have time?
U poslednje vreme ima dosta comeback-ova (* comeback- podrazumeva promotivne aktivnosti grupe, čak i kada grupa nije bila na, uslovno rečeno, odmoru - tj. čak i kada nije bila neaktivna neko vreme, već i kada je upravo završila sa promocijom prethodnog albuma, singla i sl.), pa imam problem da izaberem jednu od trenutno aktivnih... Mhmhmhmh....možda....BEAST? Da, biram njih. Razlozi? Imam ih milion, imate li vremena?
First thing first - Doojoon <3! I'm kidding, I love all 6 members, I do!!! This time, I like those two different concepts that they have been showing. For "No More", slow ballad song, they prepared sweet voices, looks, and modern-like vibe (instagram-beastagram). The lyrics are awesome too. MV is actually related with storyline (woohoo!!! it's a rarity, please understand my happiness). Here it is. It's a bright one. Love it.
Prvo i osnovno - Doojoon <3! Šalim se, volim svu šestoricu, stvarno!!! Ovog puta, sviđaju mi se ta dva različita koncepta pesama. Za "No More", sporu baladu, pripremili su svoje slatke glasove, izgled, kao i moderni vajb sa instagram-beastagramom. Tekst je divan. A spot je povezan za pričom iz teksta, za divno čudo ( woohoo!!! retkost je to, pa zato, molim vas, razumite moju sreću). Evo ga. Prilično je svetao. Volim.
feeeelingssssss / oseeeećajiiiiii
The other song - "Good Luck", is totally unlike the previous one. It has that dark-ish-sexy-chic-ish feeling. Basically, she left him, and he is sad, but mad at the same time, so he ironically wishes her good luck. The dance though, I loveeee it. Especially when this part comes: Good luck, baby, good luck to you...that pose, precious! And music, music is calling you to bounce bounce:). It has that interesting transition around 1:00 min, from using the string instruments, piano, and then dropping the beat. As for the MV - liking the dance parts, obviously, and the "Last Supper" theme - that was cool. Check it out.
Što se tiče druge pesme - "Good Luck", skroz je drugačija od prethodne. Ima taj tamno-seksi-šik osećaj. U suštini, tekst je o tome kako ga je ona ostavila, pa je on tužan i ljut u isto vreme, pa joj ironično želi sreću. Ali ples, da ne kažem, dens, super je. Posebno kad ide onaj deo: Good luck, baby, good luck to you...ta poza, divnoća! A muzika vas zove da se mrdate :). Ima taj interesantni prelaz oko 1:00 min, od žičanih instrumenata, klavira, do bacanja bita-ritma(?)(ovo smešno zvuči na srpskom). Spot - kao što rekoh, dens delovi su super, a posebno mi se svideo "Tajna večera" momenat- to je bilo kul. Pogledajte.
1:55 why I like that pose so much?
Whew...If you're reading these lines, you survived. Congratulations!!
If I infected you. Congratulations to me!!
If there is someone who already know about kpop and Beast, and who's addicted to it. One thing I have to say to you - You rock!!
Fiju...Ako čitaš ove redove, preživeo/la si. Čestitam!!
Ako sam vas zarazila. Čestitke meni!!
Ako ima nekog ko već zna za kpop i Beast, i ko je navučen na to. Jednu stvar imam da vam kažem - Najbolji ste!! (Kamen ste :))))
If anyone is interested to understand lyrics, you guys have eng subs on youtube.
Ko je zainteresovan da razume tekst, imate eng prevod na youtubu.
Oh yeah, check the other comebacks and groups:*Infinite-Last Romeo
*Ukiss-Quit playing
*Vixx-Eternity
*Taeyang- Eyes, Nose, Lips
*Crush(feat.GaekoofDynimicDuo)-Hug me
OMG, there are so many.....
A da, bacite pogled i na druge comebackove i grupe, ove gore^^

Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway - MONDAYS ARE HARD!!! Not because I have to go to work ( I dont have a job - surprise, surprise!!), but because every Monday reminds me of that. When everybody complains about how difficult is to get up from the bed, I'm like - what is my purpose? Anyone feels the same? Someone? Anyhow, show must go on, regardless which day is today. Enough whining. Let's enjoy life.
Nema potrebe da kažem, ali ću ipak reći - PONEDELJCI SU TEŠKI!!! I to ne zato što moram na posao ( nemam posao - iznenađenje, iznenađenje!!), već zato što me svaki ponedeljak na tu činjenicu i podseti. Da li se iko oseća isto? Neko? U svakom slučaju, šou se mora nastaviti, bez obzira na to koji je dan danas. Dosta kukanja. Hajde da uživamo u životu, za promenu.
Weekend was cool.
Vikend je bio dobar.
Been on a charity concert ( clues: Serbia/Floods/Disaster/Devastation). When help is needed, you help.

Some days are hard, some days are not. Some days are Mondays, some days are Fundays. But, we often forget that all days are good days. No matter what, we are alive. Therefore, we are potentially-blissful little creatures.
Neki dani su teški, neki nisu. Neki dani su ponedeljci, a neki su zabavnedeljci. Ali, mi često zaboravljamo da su svi dani dobri dani. Bez obzira na sve, živi smo. Prema tome, mi smo potencijalno-presrećna mala stvorenja. http://blacksheep.rs/crna_ovca/

Pre par dana, ova slatka sličica mi je iskočila na Pinterest fidu... Prvo što mi je palo na pamet - Oh, vidi mene! Znate (u stvari, najverovatnije ne znate), pande su mi omiljene životinjice zbog....razloga. Slatke su, jedinstvene, i retke - baš kao i ja (...) ( neprijatna dramaska pauza). Mmmda... da nastavimo. Pande su jako drage - i zato ih volim!!! Ali ova na slici izgleda malo smoreno, zar ne? (još jedna sličnost sa mnom...ok, prestajem) (ovih dana se osećam isto, pa zato ovoliko insistiram da ličimo). U svakom slučaju, poenta je u sledećem - ja ne volim da mi bude dosadno. Sa druge strane, svi imamo one dane, kada je prevrtanje po krevetu, otrprilike, sve što radimo. Šta činiti kada nas dosada "sastavi"? Nešto, bilo šta. Npr. pišite-čitajte-mislite o nečemu što volite, recimo, o pandama. Jednostavno je - kada vas dosada pogodi, uzvratite joj! Sopstvenog zdravlja i sreće, radi. Radi motivacije i inspiracije. Radi vašeg ličnog razvoja.
Tako ja pronadjoh ovaj interesantan članak o pandama, koji je objavljen 11 maja, 1987.(godina mog rođenja) u NjujorkTajmsu, autora - Sam Howe Verhovek-a)
"Zašto su pande tako slatke?
---Od kada je kineska vlada počela da šalje ove ugrožene životinje u misije "dobre volje", čitav svet je poludeo za njima. Ako pitate ljude u zoo vrtu ovo pitanje, reći će vam da je reč o njihovim očima, drugi će reći da je u pitanju to što su crno-bele. Ali ako pitate neuronaučnika, kao što je Dr. Edgar E. Coons, on će vam reći da su pande najobožavanije životinje na svetu iz prostog razloga: jer pokreću u nama gotovo savršenu kombinaciju tzv. "hedonističkih mehanizama" - okidače za 'Oh" i "Ah" reakcije.
Njihove velike oči u crnim krugovima, okrugle glave, prćaste njuške, i prevrtanje poput male dece - dakle, dojam koje pande ostavljaju na ljude, su prema tvrdnjama doktora Coons-a, dokazano urođeni "oslobodioci" roditeljskih instikata kod ljudi.
Oči pande samo izgledaju velike, zapravo ih takvim čine crne fleke u čijem središtu se nalaze.
Kao i kod bebe, koje smatramo slatkim, i glava pande je veća u odnosu na njeno telo. Poređenja radi - male glave, sa velikim telom su neprivlačne, kao što je npr. slučaj kod pacova.
Na kraju, ljudsku pažnju privlače životinje koje, iako retko, ipak ulažu napor da se pridignu - stanu na dve noge, kao što su medvedi ili pingivini - prema mišljenju drugog stručnjaka, profesora na Univerzitetu u Vinskonsinu, doktora Yi-Fu Tuan-a. On smatra da je razlog tome činjenica da ljude ovakvo ponašanje životinja podseća na jedan od najlepših prizora u životu - kada beba prohoda..."
Na pitanje: Zašto vole pande? - ljudi, najčešće odgovaraju: "Jednostavno ih volim", "Mnogo su slatke i smešno se kreću", "Tako su mazne, jako mazne", "One su kao znak humanosti". Jednom dečaku, ipak, kao da su pokvareni hedonistički mehanizmi, jer je vidno nezadovoljan obraćajući se majci, prokomentarisao: "Samo pande, pande, pande...Zar ovde nema ništa drugo da se vidi?..."
istina
I za kraj, kao višnjica na torti, evo link za jedan veoma interesantan sajt, još interesantnijeg naziva - BoredPanda/Smorena panda - http://www.boredpanda.com/, koji savršeno kombinuje sve što sam spomenula, od pandi, preko dosade, do edukacije, oplemenjivanja i ličnog napretka.
I tako...ljudi. Slobodno komentarišite. Kritikujte i pohvalite.
Few day ago, I saw this cute little pic on my Pinterest feed... My first thought was - Oh, look at me there! You know (well, you probablly don't know) Pandas are my fave, because of... reasons. They are so cute, unique, and rare - just like me (...)(awkward silence). Yeah...let's proceed. Pandas are such a lovable things - therefore I like them!!! But, this particular one looks a bit bored, doesn't she? (another similarity of ours...ok, I'll stop)
(these days I feel the same, so that's why I keep insisting on the resemblance) Anyway, here is a catch - i dislike being bored. On the other hand, we all have those days, when tossing and turning is pretty much everything we do. So, what to do when boredom strikes? Do something, anything. For example, write/read/think about something you like, like Pandas and stuff. It's simple - when the boredom strikes, we (should) strike back! For the sake of being healthy and happy. For motivation and inspiration. For self growth.
(TheNewYorkTimes-by Sam Howe Verhovek, published May 11, 1987) (my birth year)
"So why are Pandas so cute?...
...But ever since the Chinese Government began sending these endangered animals on goodwill missions, the world has been downright ga-ga about giant pandas.
Ask the people at the zoo, and they say things like ''It's the eyes'' and ''It's the black and the white.'' Ask a behavioral neuroscientist like Dr. Edgar E. Coons, and he will say that giant pandas are the world's most adored animal for a very simple reason: they set off an almost sublime combination of ''hedonic mechanisms.'' 'Cues' to Say 'Ooh' and 'Aah'
The big eyes in their black sockets, the round face, the pug nose, the way giant pandas tumble about like toddlers: ''There is considerable evidence that these things are what are known as innate releasers to our parenting instincts,'' says Dr. Coons, a New York University psychologist who studies the mechanics of pleasure and pain.
Pandas' eyes actually are not that big, but the patches of black make them look huge.
And just as with human babies -and they are cute - pandas' heads are quite large in relation to their bodies. By comparison, small heads on large bodies are unappealing. Nobody thinks rats are cute.
And finally, people are drawn to animals that at least occasionally make an effort to stand up, such as bears and penguins, according to another expert, Dr. Yi-Fu Tuan, a professor at the University of Wisconsin. This is because it reminds people of one of the most joyful sights in life -a baby learning to walk..."
Question - What's so cute about giant pandas ?
Some of the answers:
''..."I just love them."
''They're so cute and they can do all kinds of funny movements.''
''They're so cuddly, just so cuddly."
''They are like a sign of humanity.''
One small boy, though, seemed to be suffering from a malfunction of his hedonic mechanisms. ''Everything here is pandas, pandas, pandas,'' he said, tugging at his mother. ''Isn't there anything else to see?''..."
truth
And like the cherry on top... This site, http://www.boredpanda.com/, combines perfectly everything I was talking about. What a coincidence? Scary. Chills.
And yeah, people, feel free to comment.
