Witches!

Hello everybody,

It's crazy... I didn't realize how many traditions we have in our country...

Today, we celebrate "Pálení čarodějnic" - "Burning the Witches".
I've got no idea, what about you, if you have this tradition. Please, maybe let me know...

But it's not that special. People just meet in some place, do a big fireplace and then we put some "witch" from straw or wood on the top of this fireplace. Then we let it and let her burn.
It means expulsioning the witches and everything bad from our homes before the May starts.

Today I celebrated it with my beloved friend Kristen. We have had really good time, seen funny costumes of child witches... Just great.

 
 Love, Teresa

Royal Wedding and Paramore

Hello everybody,

This week was full of experiences.
1st - My mommy went to Italy 'cause of her job, so we are living in our three little rooms with our grandmother...
She is really so adorable, she makes snacks, buys all the good food...
It is really co cool. And she still asks - "Do you want me to buy this for you?" Of course, in Czech - "Chceš, abych ti tohle koupila?" :D

2nd - I kind of started to be crazy... :D That's not a new, I know! But I honestly decided to write a story about an unconventional girl Jamie, ex drug addict. She is at narcotics anonymous, she does sponsor.
Jamie's last friend she sponsored is leaving now. In the same time, at narcotics anonymous is appearing new member, Damon. Anyone knows a lot about him, he's not talking very much...
But then, Jamie is becoming his sponsor. She starts to know more about him...
So there is strange relationship between them full or disbelief, fear and bizzare love to each other.
Then, Damon has got some dead secret and he's afraid Jaime have found it, because she's looking at him the way she is under his mask...
Weird, I know... :D

3rd THE BIGGEST THING NUMBER 1
Prince William and Kate - Royal Wedding in England! Sure...
I really love this couple, so I couldn't wait for their wedding.
Then, sadly, I couldn't watch it "live", because I've been in the school...
But, I've seen their first public kiss after wedding. It was at 14:28 (Czech time...)

3rd THE BIGGEST THING NUMBER 2...
I fell in love with PARAMORE... again...
I listened to them a lot, but in last months I started to listen to singers like Vanessa Carlton, Priscilla Ahn...
But my love to this amazing group is back already, I don't know why...
Yuck, I know why! Because they are amazing! :D I mean it...
So, in a while I am listening to their album Brand New Eyes and it's (like always) amazing! You surely have to listen to this...

Love, Teresa

Easter Monday

Hello everyone,

Easter Monday! I've been waiting for this day whole month!
OK, honestly, I don't like Easter Monday very much. Reason?
In Czech Republic, we hold on to many many traditions, that belong to Easter.
1. One day before Easter Monday, all of the girls have to dye eggs to some color. Then they decorate it with some ornaments from little wooden pieces or ornament from wax.
It looks like this (with wax):

  2. One day before Easter Monday, all of the boys have to do a stick from 8 and more osiers. In Czech Republic, we have word for this stick - "pomlázka".

3. On Easter Monday,
boy takes his stick and beats girls from the family. Then he usually takes handbasket and goes to his friends' home, or to people from building and beats all of the ladies, because boys beat only girls, never other way round ( not fair :D ). This tradition means, that if the boy beats girl with this stick, girl is younger and fresher.
Then, after this beating, girls give boys that eggs as thanks to them.
 
Ok, it's not that bad...It is fun :). Maybe you could try it too!

Love, Teresa

The Librarian

Hello everyone,

I just wanna share something with you.
In a while, I am watching my FAVORITE movie ever - The Librarian 3: Curse of the Judas Chalice.
I have to say, that I don't like Indiana Jones and all movies about him.
I think, that's the reason why I like Librarian. It seems like some kind of parody, funny parody, thought...
I've seen all of those movies about Flynn Carsen and they are hilarious and awesome!
Maybe you could look for those movies, too. They are full of adventure and funny moments.
I love movies and books like this. You know, the movie/book is about travelling to some unknown country and looking for something, pass through adventure. I think it's interesting.
I'd like to pass through some adventure, too. But it couldn't be scary :D so I'll never have an opinion to do some real adveture. Adventure, that I always read/watch movie about... I think I'd be scared of any noise I'd hear in some scary place. Because every adventure is happenning in some scary place, even short part of it... :)

But it doesn't matter! Our whole life is an adventure!

Love, Teresa.

Don't Eat Meat!

Photo taken on 4/22 2011
I used to think in that little window at the top of this building lives Jesus. I always talked to this niche and prayed for Chrismas presents. It is in the front of our house. 

Hello everybody,
I have a while, so I will do a short post.
Today is Good Friday and I don't know how do you celebrate this day in your country, but we can't eat meat. If you'd eat meat today, it would be like you'd eat Jesus' body.
I bore to Christian family, so we hold on to this tradition.
This day is kind of release for me. I'd like to be vegetarian, but I have to eat meat 'cause I am "growing" and I don't have enough "Fe"...
Maybe you could try it too, if you don't have this tradition in your country...

Love, Teresa

First Post!

Hello everyone,
I am so excited! This is my first post on blogspot.com ever!
Another premier - my first post in English. Because I am from Czech Republic, I am sure I will have a thousand mistakes in every post - I am sorry for that.... :)
First, I wanna say something about me. My name is Tereza, Teresa in English. I am 13 years old and I live in Prague. I really love nature and everything, that belongs with it...

So, today was the best day ever. I woke up after nine o'clock and ate my breakfast in front of the open window - so wonderful. It was very warm outside, so I knew I will go out and look for some place, where I could hide and read a book.
It was 2 o'clock and I got a call from my dear dear cousin Caroline. She wanted me to go outside with her.
We spend FULL 5 hours in the shopping centres throught Prague. Really amazing day!
We looked for shoes and clothes all day long and had a lot of fun. I wish you all had a beautiful day!

In those shops, I have found a lot of new stuff I wanted to buy, but I didn't have enough money. So bad!
But one thing is too special not to share with you.
You may know this fragrance called "Laugh with me Lee Lee", though. It's Benefit's frangrance and so special and lovely. It really smells like spring and summer, flowers, trees, wind. I couldn't believe it and I am totally buying this!

In the end of this long day, I went out of the subway (I honestly spent  there today 2 hours overall!) and walked in the spring street. It was really late, but it was still warm outside. So cool!

OK, right now I think, that is all. I wish you happy Friday!
Love, Teresa
