| 30.Day Blogging Challenge--War Chest Wednesday! Have you ever lost yourself in the world of clouds or stars or in any other natural phenomenon? If yes, what did you see? Some random shapes, or some guiding strength? Yes, yes I did. I lost myself in both for so many times. There's so many points of view from my perspective First point of view is-- there were times when I literally looked like this:   Head in the clouds works mostly for people who are in love, they don't think about anything else except the specific person aka being at cloud number 9. You could easily tell that person is in the clouds when you're in the company, having fun while that person seems isolated from all of you and having blissful look at her face. If we are speaking about love of course. I think that many 'head in the clouds' situations are connected with some feelings of happiness and joy. It's not possible to have your head in the clouds while you're thinking about something bad. Or maybe it is, but those clouds would seem to be more darker and maybe it would rain on you. Now, we all know that the world is split in two pieces- good and bad. Not just the world but existence of everything I think. It's black and white, heaven and hell, right and wrong, right and left, yin and yang etc. If I compare cloud number 9. from heaven to 9.circles of hell from Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri they are also opposite. Is it possible to feel like you're at 9th circle of hell?  I don't know how many of you are familiar with this book. This was just random thought. 'Divine Comedy' has nothing to do with love. It talks about Dante's travel through hell and paradise after death. In Dante's 'Inferno' 9th circle of hell belongs to treachery (betrayal). That's just one more comparison--9th cloud in heaven and 9th circle of hell. Maybe it has some common things with love anyway.Second point of view is to look at the cloudy sky and notice some meaningful or funny shapes floating around. I think that happens a lot to the most of the people. While it is possible to see specific shape or form of something it is also possible to make cloudy-shape-Jesus's head in the photoshop. I'm so amused to see these pictures around the internet and under the picture says: type amen when you see it  . Amen for what? For you being an expert in photoshop? ha ha..no. And the third point of view is most common for people who travel a lot with the airplane. I don't remember exactly where I took this photo, I was traveling for another contract at the ship in USA but I remember how I felt when I saw this cotton beauty.  Airplanes are my favorite transportation because I so love the airports and seats by the window. If the flight is not too long then it's even better. First you feel turbulence before the airplane break the air-wall and then you soar above the clouds. I don't know why people are afraid of the airplanes, that is the only way to feel like a bird for a while, the view from above is spectacular and everyone should experience it at least once in the lifetime. The only thing I felt when I saw this field was that I really want to jump in it and make a cloudman or something. I imagine it would be pretty soft, like in the commercials for the softeners  . To be lost in the stars is actually my worst nightmare literally. I want to talk about my weird phobia of being an astronaut who is adrift in orbit. I'm really, really, REALLY scared of this thought and I mentioned it here before. I didn't know there is a movie about it. I think that Charlie ~  mentioned it to me and just the other night I saw it on the TV. I looked for it in imdb, movie name is Gravity . I never had a dream about this or anything similar, this thought just scares me when I'm thinking about the ways one can die. hahaa, I knew I'll break the main point of the prompt by ranting about stuff.

| 30.Day Blogging Challenge--Music Monday! Tell us about a certain memory that is triggered whenever you hear a specific song. Was the song actually playing at that moment, or is it something in the lyrics or the music itself that jogs your memory? [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] The best thing about music is that you can sing a song to 85 000 people and they will sing you back for 85 000 different reasons. Dave Grohl This prompt is just ugh.. like..how can I pick up one song that describe certain memory? There's thousand songs and thousands memories and I want to write about all of them. Ok well...R.E.M. 'To The One I love' is a song that Richard played to me on my request almost every night in our room when we finish with work. That's the song he played when I met him first time. It was somewhere middle of June in 2012. I was having my second contract at the ship while he had 5.already. I think I was still confused and I was having just little bit troubles with orientation. After two months vacation I supposed to join the ship that sails from Galveston, TX but when I came to the hotel my schedule was changed because I didn't send 'confirmation letter' that I'm coming back on time. So, basically it was all my fault. I stuck at the hotel for 5.days before they gave me ship that sails from Miami. 'Destiny' was its name haha..'Destiny' was from the same class like 'Triumph', her sister ship from my previous contract, and I could orientate little bit but it was still crazy at the beginning because of all safety trainings that we have to go through in the first few weeks. Anyway, I didn't know anyone and I felt like a kid at first day of school in the new town--isolated. I think that everyone do when you're new sign on (that's how we call newbies). I lived on deck 4. forward of the ship (where all officers lived) and smoking area and crew bar were almost right next to my cabin as well. Since I still felt like a newbie the only company I had was cigarettes. Smoking area was open deck because we weren't allowed to smoke in any place inside the ship. Some people used the toilet for that purpose but I didn't because we have cabin inspections and I just didn't want troubles. Anyway, I took my cigarettes and went out for a smoke when I met few people from my country but they were busy talking about work or something and as I was new to them they didn't pay too much attention on me. I felt stupid and bored because I wanted to meet anyone with who I would have lunch on work breaks, my roommate was from different department and I didn't see her so often. They ignored me for some reason and I didn't want to bother anyway. That's when I heard 'To The One I Love'. In smoking area crew members usually stick to each others by forming little groups of people, friends, usually from the same countries. So, it was pretty rare to see entertainment department smoking on the side where usually people from housekeeping department are hanging. This depend of the ship actually, sometimes you can have the best time of your life and sometimes is just too frustrating. My previous contract my best friend was third officer on board and everyone knows that officer's friends are only girls from spa and I was too far away from there, but Salvatore Lombardo didn't care about this division and we were pretty good friends. As usual I'm slipping of the theme here so I'll go back to the prompt and I will write more about all this in my book that I'm preparing for upcoming October and November NaNo.When I saw they are not paying attention to me I stood up from the place and went closer to the guy who was playing this song on the guitar. I sat right next to him and he smiled when he saw me. I was like..uhmm..why are you smiling, I just came here to have a smoke and listen to your voice? Some people accept you right away. We talked a lot that night and he became that friend to have lunch with. If I wasn't there every night he would call me on the phone asking to come because someone has a birthday or they had small acoustic parties every Key West.(It would be easier for me to say every Sunday but at the ship days weren't important because we never knew which day is it. We counted them as a port days, sea days, Key West day, homeport day, depend which port we were in). Later on he sang this song so often on my request when we were alone. As we were hanging so often after that he used to come to my room while I was putting makeup and he always watched me when I'm doing it asking so many questions about these products. One night I asked why he started to talk with me because we were strangers when I just came, and from different countries also, he said that he remembers me standing in front of the crew office with my luggage on the first day and I looked so confused and tired. He even knew what I was wearing. I laughed when he mentioned it because it was silly and kind of teen but his face was serious so I just shut up. Fuck..I really wish this time back when we were friends. There's like thousand songs that reminds me of him. There's one situation at work which is not so memorable because it was ordinary day but I remember somehow. I saw him sitting in the corner on deck 9., and working on cups and singing Everybody Hurts out loud. I remember that no one was speaking then in that moment. He started to laugh when he saw me standing on the door and stopped. Everybody else got back to their business when he stopped singing. So yeah, there's like thousand more songs that reminds me of him, these two I picked up because they gave me some special feeling that I just can't forget.Blogging Circle of Friends--"Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is." - Francis Bacon If you had to choose between having an imagination or a sense of humor which would you choose? Which is more important an imagination or a sense of humor? Bless you all weird people, the writers, the artists, the dreamers, the outsiders for forcing the others to see the world differently. There's balance for everything in this life so there's balance between imagination and sense of humor as well. It's good to have both I think. Imagination ignites passion and creativity. If you don't dream bigger you would never venture into the world where we are today. Someone's imagination led him to create the internet, airplanes, words, songs, electric car etc. all things that we use daily (ok, maybe not electric car but that doesn't mean that in the near future we wont have one when someone really get imaginative enough) . Without imagination people wouldn't create different music. There's billion songs in the world and someone is still imaginative enough to make one song that is totally different from all the others. Sometimes reality just sucks. You know that when you're watching the news or something. You let your mind enter certain sphere of imagination where you see all things different, you see hope to make things different or better, you see that possibility to change the world somehow. Since everyone is writer here you know where your imagination can lead you while writing. The best thing is that you can make other people passionate about your imagination and to see the world differently. I noticed that people with light sense of humor are mostly acceptable in all kind of groups of people in society. If you have that dose of happiness for what most of the people are desiring then you really have a lot. If you ever entered the world of depression or sadness in mild term you know that you can feel different if you have positive people around you. I have a friend who would always make me feel better because he has that dose of humor and positivity in himself. It wasn't too much, just enough to make me feel different about reality. I think that sense of humor and imagination are coming from the same place. I told you that the guy made me feel better with his sense of humor and the way he see problem. Humor is product of his imagination in desire to make people feel better about him and situations where they are. It can't be bad thing, right? I wish someone feel the same way about me the way I feel about him when I'm having blues. So, I guess I would like to have combination of both--humor and imagination. I'm having my own imagination of course, I think that everyone does, but I would love to add some sense of humor to that because everyone need smiles in certain period of their lives.  |

A small gift for a fan, and a friend. Why? Because we are writers.](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/genre-Writing-2180.gif) Writing MBHere is the list of the words:  Ailurophile (cat lover) Beleaguer (to exhaust with attacks) Bungalow (small cozy cottage) Comely (attractive) Denouement (the resolution of a mystery) Ephemeral (short-lived) Felicity (pleasantness) Fetching (pretty) Ingenue (naive young woman) Ineffable (inexpressible) Lilt (to move musically or lively) Offing (the sea between horizon and offshore) Petrichor (the smell of the Earth after rain) Ripple (very small wave) Serendipity (finding something nice while looking for something else) Scintilla (a spark of a very small thing) Tintinnabulation (tinkling) Woebegone (sorrowful, downcast)Since I'm not English I don't really know if I can make up some words right now but I'll share some ship's words that crew members are using ALL the time when talking between each other. And their meaning of course   Babaloo- means someone who is silly in every aspect Bolita- is someone who is always late Chicki Chicki- means sex, someone having sex Kaput- means when someone is done, like tired that he cannot move or something Sapo- is a person who is reporting you to your boss for whatever you do wrong Rambo style- we use when someone give you to do some hard work and you have to finish it all by yourself, without anyone's help.. like Rambo in his movies Culo- means ass Paisano- are people on the ship, your friends from the same country as yours Mamagayo- is someone who is escaping or avoiding job Taka Taka- means to talk Maricon- means gayAlright, I hope you enjoyed in those. Crew members on every Cruise Line Company has their own language that we use on daily basis or when we don't want guests to understand what are we talking about. One time when I was in Australia at the ship I was upset for some reason, I don't remember exactly why, but I started to spit in my language and one man approached to me and spoke to me in my language saying something like--it's alright, calm down. I felt so embarrassed because I had no idea that it's even possible to meet someone who understand my language in Australia and he was our guest. For that reason we usually use ship's words and most of the guests doesn't understand their meaning. If you ever take a cruise make sure to remember those, you never know when someone will tell you Nice culo and you have no idea what is culo but you smile and you say Thanks |
| 30.Day Blogging Challenge--Wildcard round: Your prompt: How'd it get this late so early? To be honest--I have no idea. That's the answer on the question overall, no matter what I will write about. Now, let's get to prompt.Besides talking Tuesdays I love wildcard days because you always bring up an interesting simple sentence but it's still complicated and requires to think about it. A lot. Last night was the first time you posted prompt before I went to sleep so, I was thinking about it before some weird dream I had. Thanks for keeping me awake by the way Fivesixer  . I wanted to talk about the seasons and early Autumn but I lost the feelings for changing seasons while I was at the ship. I was normal person once, and I longed for yearly summer vacations at some beaches, at the sea, basically anywhere where is hot. At the ship all I had was that--countless beaches and summers. I remember that I skipped winter time in my country twice somehow and I felt so weird for not seeing snow. I had three years of constant summer and heat and I was going crazy already. When I posted picture on facebook on 31th of December, from the beach in Mexico, me in bikini with friends, my friends at home went nuts and jealous but I was seriously sick of it and all I wanted was snow then. Now I'm home and fully enjoying in Autumn we have here, golden showers, alleys and cold breeze and rains. I don't remember last time I've been at home at this period of time.So, I wanted to talk about that more, like it was summer just few days ago and now we're bathing in rains every day, I suppose to be sad for it like every normal person who knows that one more summer is gone but no. I couldn't wait for this.  When I talk to people about life overall everyone is usually saying--where did time go? Look at me, I look so old. I use to say this as well from time to time, of course to those younger than me . Sometimes I feel so old, like I already saw and did everything and I just want to die even though I'm only 30. I hate to feel like that sometimes because there's a whole lot more stuff I need to see and meet (countries, cultures, people) and it should be like, I still didn't experience the best of life, I don't have my own family, I didn't travel with them and you know, just regular flow of life. I don't know why people are so weird when I constantly talk about family and having one. For me that's something I really want to experience and I don't see any weirdness in it. When I talk to some friends they're like..oh, it's nothing really, I even regret because I don't have my freedom anymore, my kids are driving me crazy and bla bla... Uhm... did you try to enjoy in it? And why are you still in that marriage if you're not happy? You wouldn't be the only person in the world who quit of it and went to look for your own happiness. Some people enjoy in loneliness which is fine as well, I wish to learn to be like that but I really hate to be alone in any context, not because I'm really weak and I need help, I just don't like to go through stuff alone. The only thing I enjoyed to do alone is going out of the ship for shopping. I hate to go to shopping with people, I'm sick. There will always be some fight on which store we should check first. And then people have different taste than yours and when you enter 'Dillard' you wanna check shoes and your friend wanna buy makeup. Women are nuts at shopping and they take a lot of time for it. I'm very easy on shopping stuff even if I don't know what I want, I'll just check first thing that catch my eye and I'll try it. If it fits I'll buy no need to convince me at all. And I'm not one of the bitches who will try every single piece of the shoes and go out of the store not buying anything. If I don't want something I wont enter that store and that's it. I really hate when women are doing it and that's why I always go to shopping alone. Everything else I looked for someone. For example, when we're at some island I never wanted to go alone to the beach with a book or something. I always looked for someone to go with just for laugh or when it was dangerous to go out alone. I remember when Richard didn't want to go out with me some time. And one time when he was port manning and couldn't change his ID so he can go out. We were in Tasmania and.. I liked the day but I would like it more if he was there. He's like married today, having two kids already since then and I didn't make any progress in my life. In anything. I feel like I stuck there and the time is passing with speed of light. I remember I had things on my mind that I wanted to do and I'm still trying to fulfill it but I constantly feel like I'm standing in one place and nothing is happening except time. Yesterday we were together and today he's having two kids. |
| 30.Day Blogging Challenge--War Chest Wednesday! From the War Chest... From a humorous perspective, what is the worst thing parents can do to their children? I was thinking about this prompt a little bit, I wanted to talk about child leashes  from Charlie ~ 's blog entry but he wrote about it before I did. So, anyway, I read the other entries who are posted and I decided to talk about children's swearing in public. I think the worse thing parent can do is to not try to explain why they are not suppose to do that in public. One of my childhood friends used to get a toys for every bad word she spell correctly. When she learned those her parents and neighbours started to teach her how to swear. She used to curse God and similar stuff as well and they found it, in the worse case, cute and funny. Before she will get married she invited us to her house and we were laughing on childhood things and she brought a dog toy that she got from the neighbour when she cursed God first time. I think she still have this toy.I don't think if swearing is embarrassing for parents but if your kid suddenly hear you saying words like--penis, vagina, fuck and similar things of course he will soak every single one of them and you wont have time to explain the real meaning behind them. It happens that you're in the middle of the city, walking with your kid and you suddenly hear him saying R--rated word while you're passing by some stranger. What would stranger think, not about your little kid but about you? I'm not a parent yet but I think there's a basic education that your littlest one needs to poses and that for certainly doesn't include bad and R-rated words. What are your thoughts about this theme? Would you be embarrassed, maybe not because your kid is swearing but because of yourself, because you didn't teach him that he is not suppose to do that in his childhood? Here's the video of a movie that I watched a while ago. Gosh..Ryan Reynolds is soooo hot!!  [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| 30.Day Blogging Challenge--Talk Tuesday! How do you get yourself mentally ready to write a blog entry? Do you have any tips or methods you'd like to share that help you get prepared? Talk Tuesday-my favorite 30DBC prompt. First I want to say that I don't really prepare anyhow for the blog entries because here my blog is not serious like some others you may find online or offsite. Here I just talk and most of the times nobody gives a shit about it. There are days, like yesterday for example, when I open email to read the prompt and I just close it because I know I have really nothing to say on it and I just don't prepare myself at all. I know zero about politic and my ranting would be stupid and pointless. I wrote 2.sentence though, I think I got only one view. But, there are days when I wake up in the morning and what I do is I open WdC first and go through all notifications, messages etc. and then I read emails one by one and answering. When I opened email with today's prompt I sat to write this entry instantly because I like to talk a lot (for no reason) and second I knew what I want to say, and plus I have my coffee already so let's start. In my other personal blog "Invalid Item" sometimes I write long, long entries when I get inspiration or reason to write it all down. That blog is too personal for some people (they told me in reviews) and I have 800. views on it and 80.entries though, I didn't write anything there for longer than a month from now. That blog will serve good for my NaNo novel I signed up to write this year because it contains some happenings from the past, notes that I shouldn't forget and events as well. Did I already mention I signed up for NaNo prep challenge? I think I did.When I signed up for NaNo I was searching for the ideas to write about. I've got one actually, it suppose to be some thriller-drama story about a woman who is getting a phone call every day from unknown blocked number and she is not able to answer it somehow until one day. When she finally answered what she heard was-Mom, I need help ( that would be the title of the novel as well). That suppose to be a story about woman who lost her child in some accident (probably car accident while he was coming back from the school) and she now is in some kind of limbo where everything is alright with her family and she doesn't understand the phone call because her kid is fine, sleeping in his bed. And she will go in search just to find out that she is in mental hospital, and she stuck in limbo after she realized her kid is dead. And the phone calls were actually from the kid who now is a ghost and before he died he tried to call her unsuccessfully and it would be connected somehow with her present. It's pretty confusing because I didn't develop this idea totally. I can relate a lot to the mothers who loose their kids for some stupid reason such as car accident. I also used to read a lot about pregnancy and traumas and side effects that women get before, during or after the pregnancy. People don't understand that some pregnancies are dangerous because body is entering into totally different shape, form and state because it's changing. It's not always dangerous of course, it's natural flow of life, but some women just can't handle it. But for sure every woman while pregnant feel little bit of daily stress such as vomiting, thinking she's fat when she see herself in the mirror or something bad will happen to her child if she fall, hit the stomach etc... (this is not theme of today's prompt).. And some people just can't accept reality after someone too close to them die, it's like one string in their head is just unhooked and they are not able to function normally anymore. However, I gave up on this idea for now because I want to write my story, that was the main reason why I joined WdC. Answer to today's prompt is--just write what you know the best. If you want to expand your knowledge and do prep for talks read books, watch news, listen to music and then you can answer every prompt or complete most of the given tasks. When the prompt was about that woman who refused to issue paper for gay couple I didn't write anything. First because I don't really care if she did or didn't, second I didn't have all informations about the situation for the reason I don't watch or read such news so I can say something on that theme. Later on I saw they lynched a woman who was doing it as per her religion beliefs (uhmm...how she calls it --as per God's orders or something), again I don't have nothing to say because I listen to that shit all my life in this shitty country. It's annoying to live here where every day people are talking against each other and insulting each other's religion because they think everyone's religion is the best. WTF.. can't you just live the fucking life? What if I tell you I lived with 26. different nationalities in the 272.3 meter space and no one, not even one time, looked at me or anyone else with negation because I'm white or he is yellow or black or brown..whatever. This blog that I write is not like officially BLOG, it's not like those blogs you find online or offsite where people dedicate their selves to exactly and perfectly cover the theme and opinion on something, this one is just casual writing about stuff that I know. I don't rant a lot about things that I didn't experience or things that I know very little about, I'm not smart enough for some deep political themes, I don't get involved into religion talks either because I respect everyone's, I lived in the room with a girl who believed that cow is holy animal and it's sin to kill her so...I don't get involved too much about talks between science and religion because sooner or later it become debate and not conversation anymore. You can hear me saying I remember when I was at the ship sentence most of the time because that's the place where I picked up all knowledge about life overall. I can talk about fashion forever, I can talk about relationships forever as well, music, movies, positive themes, I can talk about your problems and try to help you to understand that this is life and you decided to live like that...just life themes overall and what we can do to make the Earth better place to live in. So, as I said above, I don't really do any mental prep for the blog entries because when I see the prompt I just write what I know about it or I don't write it at all because I know nothing about that theme. |
| 30.Day Bogging Challenge--Music Monday! How do you feel about politicians using music in their campaigns? Ear-catching strategy, or shameless pandering? My politic is that I don't do any politic, I don't follow politic and I don't even know who is the president of my country because it's split between three of them. Yes, we do have three presidents. That's all I know. Music Monday..hah..who doesn't like music Let's talk about shortest horror story--MONDAY. |
| 30.Day Blogging Challenge--The Sunday News! This week, cellular company Verizon announced plans to start testing an ultra fast 5G-network in the next year. This network will be designed to handle more internet-connected devices, and will allow for such luxuries like the ability to download a 3-D movie in six seconds. My question: How much to we really need our cell phones to do, now or in 2017 (the target US nationwide rollout date)? Does anyone even use their phone to actually make and take calls anymore? What doesn't your phone do that you wish it would?I'm not really crazy over technology and to be honest I don't care about this 5G network. I have Samsung Galaxy Core and he's doing fine for now. I downloaded few apps such as 'Skype', 'Viber', 'Instagram', 'Amazon Kindle' 'Writing Prompts' and some antivirus, cleaner and so on. All of them I use on daily basis but I spend my time mostly on laptop because I'm annoyed by typing on the touchscreen phones. I don't even play games on it. The only phony thing I really use is alarm clock. If I think of some writing idea I may add it to the 'notes' or 'memo' on the phone and then transfer it to the writing in WdC or something. On my previous phone I had downloaded some apps for watching movies and it killed my battery and became so slow. I don't plan to download or to have such thing on this one now. But you're totally right when you say that most of the people are not using their cellphones to actually call someone. I also don't remember when was the last time I went through the contact list or even typed the number to give a call. Actually, I don't even have anyone's phone number memorized in my head  ! And I don't have anyone in my contact list .. But...does 'Viber' counts ?? All my contacts had been added to 'Viber' and for 'Viber' calls you need to have internet connection. I'm living for the day when free WiFi will be available while we're walking on the streets or even in someone's car.. So that would be basic need of your question--I would really love that my phone has available free WiFi in any moment, in any place (including Starbucks ), and if I find myself in some horror movie I wish that my phone really works when some boogeyman with ax or chainsaw is running after me. Yeah..that would be awesome  |
| 30.Day Blogging Challenge--Creation Saturday! If you could erect a statue of any inanimate object to represent you, what would it be, and what would the dedication plaque on it read? Since I misunderstood yesterday's prompt and I ranted about Batman as a favorite comic I hope today is gonna be acceptable what I will say. It would be a tombstone, heartshaped tombstone with inscription: "Here rests insert my real name here, a woman who misunderstood life." |

But I would've been too embarrassed. 
I love this sentiment and this look into your mom and your own past. I bet it's crazy to have that money and means now not to limit yourself when you on in a store and I can see your mom grabbing what she pleases because she can. Having such a choke hold on your finances for necessity can make it a breath breathed to do what you want. Thank you for sharing this with us and I agree with
