Goodbye, legend, goodbye, Karel...
Czech music scene is not very interesting to me. I mostly do not listen to it, because the lyrics aren’t very good to me and today’s singers are behaving like little brats.
But there was always one exception: Karel Gott.
Karel Gott is called just „Master“ or „Nightingale“ by Czech people. He became a singer in 1958 and he became very famous. He had a lot of women, but he was always known as a gentleman. Personally I called him „the last Czech gentleman“. He always spoke in a calm, polite manner, he dressed in an elegant way, his songs were a balm for a soul. He was loved by all generations – loved by old people and by young people too. He is one thing we had common here. Simply one of a kind. Hehe, we had a price award for the best singer here and he got it 42 times – he always smiled gently and said: “I really, really didn’t expect it this time!” I think no one could think about anyone else getting the price actually… 
And today it’s all over the papers in my country: he died. He was ill, we all knew it and we just hoped he’ll somehow be healthy again, but we knew he’s 80 and that the end can come any day…
To be honest, I am very, very sad, I feel like one of my grandparents died. And it’s interesting to see, how it influenced people in my company. We disagree on many things, like politics and so on, but we were just grasping breath, being silent and we lighted him a candle as a memory. Radio is playing his songs.
So here, I bring you some of his songs, my favourite ones: just listen and relax and pay tribute to this great singer and awesome human being. Goodbye, Master, we’re gonna miss you down here! 
The last song he made: he sings it with his daughter Ella 
Song about how he wants to be forever young, but it's impossible - and that it's ok, because life is colourful and full of great things... 
Oh, I forgot to say, he also sang in German!
"If I will love you..."
During communist period here, he had some... uhm.. very funny songs and clips 
"When a man and a woman have breakfast..."
"Bells of happiness" - half Czech, half Slovakian song with amazing Dara Rolins

Summeeeer time!
Hello, pals,
how do you enjoy the summer?
I enjoy it so much! I'm traveling around - I was in Krkonoše mountains for the first time with my BFF doing Nordic Walking, I was in Amsterdam with my sis VillageLucy, last weekend I was in the forest again with BFF trying hamaka he gave me as a soon birthday present
, I was being photographed in my cosplay for the first time by a talented photographer, I dyed my hair for the first time in my life... hell, it's a great summer so far! Also, I have a personal couch now to get more in shape, because I still want to be a cop, nothing changed in my dream As I come home late every day, I'm usually too tired to search through photos and picking and editing some for DeviantArt, so I just use Instagram now. It would be my pleasure if you'll follow me there!
Have a nice day!

& & & Hello, dears!
(Wow, Eclipse DA looks so cool, have you tried it yet? )
(And yes, I watch Friends… maybe too much lately 
)
Yes, I’m still alive – I’m recently fighting with myself, because thanks to my best friend I decided to finally fulfill my whole life dream – to be a cop. The road is hard, full of obstacles, so wish me luck! I’m exercising very hard every day now to gain some weight and muscles to be able to apply for a job there and I must say it is pretty fun. I know it won’t be easy to be a police officer (my best friend is actually a cop for 10 years already, so I know both pros and minuses very well…), but I’m prepared for that. Maybe they won’t hire me in final, but I know I will be disappointed with myself if I won’t even try it. But I must admit, that to build a new myself from zero is not an easy task
Unfortunately, it means less time for my zoo photography, because I can go to the zoo only on weekends… and Saturdays and Sundays are only days I can run on the stadium near my house for free Like, I’m still taking a lot of photos, just not usually ones I wanna put on my DeviantArt page, I’m trying to post only animals here. But if you want to see other things I’m shooting and experiencing (my dogs, my town, Czech nature, well, even myself), you may follow me on my Instagram, I’m very active there

Based on my shitty year 2018 I’m also working on my mental health. I’m trying to be more self-orientated, to do things to make myself happier. I f.e. realized that when I’m speaking about bad things that happened to me, I’m always laughing and smiling, which is only hurting my inner self more. It also makes people think that I’m a happy person, of course, but I’m not (yesterday a guy on phone told me “miss, you are always laughing, you sound so happy, you must have absolutely wonderful life!” – haha, you’re wrong, man, but thanks ). Also, it was very hard for me to realize I’m in a matter of fact introvert. I’ve never seen myself as one, but as long as I’m thinking about my personality, I see it as a true statement more and more. I always speak with people about a lot of things, people get the feeling they know me pretty well… but there are always things I’m keeping in myself and not talking to anyone because I don’t wanna make them uncomfortable. I’m like my social media sites: I tell people about good things, I show them only good things… but a lot of bad, really bad things happened to me in past 8 years and no one knew… I started slowly and I told some things to my sister – she was so shocked she hugged me and even cried (she doesn’t hug people much, so that was huge! ) saying she doesn’t get it, how could I hide it and stay… normal 
. It just convinced me that I can share my problems with her and honestly, it was such a relieve… So I'm working more on my communicating and sharing. It's not easy, but I'm pretty stubborn and I know I can make it and be happy again.
Well, that’s all I have to say for a moment.
I wish you a happy day and take care!

& & & Goodbye, year 2018
Goodbye, year 2018. You showed me what it is like when the whole world collapses in front of your eyes. What is it like when people close to you betray your trust. And what it is like when you forgive them and then betrayal comes again. Now I know how much it hurts to have a broken heart. Now I know how to hate deeply. And it's hard to get back the strength to trust someone again. But you also showed me that I can rise above all the misfortunes and continue to live my life. I've seen new places, tried new activities. You showed me who my true friends are (and I am very thankful for them). You've brought me back together with people who have been getting away from my life. And in the end, you showed me that even the trampled, broken heart could slowly but surely be put back together. Broken, yet capable to love again. So in spite of all the terrible things, I am grateful for you, because... what will not kill me, will make me stronger, right?
Still, I'm looking forward to seeing you go away and year 2019, I hope you're going to be 100 % better!
I wish you a happy new year full of luck and new opportunities!
