This story is about my mobile phone: Mr Nokia 1208 and the others.
This is my 2nd phone... very good, has a flashlight, and no annoying smart-functions:] Last Thursday I dropped it in the water. Seemed like nothing is wrong, it was working normally. All until next morning, when I saw that it shows the icon of the headset. So I switched it off but couldn't turn on again. My colleagues told me to dry it on top of the coffee-machine. So I did that. Then I tried couple times and wasn't working.
That afternoon I bought another Nokia.. 1680. This was the cheapest. I did not wanted to spend more than 35 pounds and there was not to many choices. It has camera and can connect to the internet. But other than that no good. The more simple is better.
My first mobile phone was a Philips Genie. I found it on a bench in my university-town. It belonged to an Italian soldier. I think. Because the language was set to Italian and that time we had lot of IFOR soldiers in Hungary. That phone was very very good. I still have it but too bad it's not working perfectly now. That time (1998) it already had voice command option.
And today (Saturday) my little 1208 Nokia started working again. Resurrection. Now I have 2 phones.
End of story.

WHAT HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST BLOG
Hi Everybody, how are you today? Things going well? Good.
I had to extend my contract with the "coffee-shop" which means I will work for them 1 or 2 more weeks. Why is that? Well, the river-cruise-ship job sucks as it is. The interwiev/training thing was a peace of crap, huge disappointment. After that I just regretted I ever registered with a job agency.
My colleagues are very nice people and it is fun to work with'em, but I don't like the job:[ Standing behind the till and selling sandwiches, coffee and stuff - even washing the dishes in the kitchen is more fun:] Thinking about the situation, I say this is the better way. Better than when you do something you like but the colleagues are real pain in the ass and make the job like hell. So I am happy for now, and I can make some money too. Even though I found out that the agency got paid after me almost double comparing to what they pay me. Whatever, it won't take forever:]
We are still waiting and hoping that next week my WRS form will arrive. If not, then we have to go to court and we really don't want that. If yes, then we could straight apply for new VISA for Dewi and wouldn't have to go chit-chat with the judge. So pray for us people!
I'm also waiting for responses from other restaurants, but they just keep me waiting. I wish I could start working on a nice place, making good money, starting the IT course and then get a real job I could base my career on. This happening pretty slow... oh boy!
The weather is getting better. Time to time we see some sunshine which loads some extra energy to our body and soul. Sometimes it would be nice to go out but here in London transportation takes lot of time (there and back) and makes me loosing my mood for the outside activity. Today we will make pancakes and listen hip-hop:] He-he.
Okay, bye for now.

DON'T READ! ... BORING BLOG
So how is it now? It is kind of slow, regular and flat. Like British weather:) That's how it is.
After a month of unsuccessful jobsearch, I decided to register with a catering agency:(
The good thing in it: they got me a job straight for whole February. I'm lucky to be working with a small friendly team. After that, I'm going to be a waiter on a river-cruise ship. Since I have 3 years experience on real big ocean cruisers, this shouldn't be a problem at all. Can't wait until the end of this month. If it turns out that I don't really like it, I'll just quit and I'm pretty sure it won't be too hard to find a new job when the season starts. The funny thing is, that after I got this coffee-job I keep receiving phonecalls for job interviews from really nice and quality restaurants. How ironic!
My daily exercise program is starting to give me results. I feel fitter and stronger. And I do it every morning and evening. It is another thing that my lovely wife still cannot find my "shy-muscles" under my fat:) But she knows that it's almost at the surface... not so shy anymore!
Our fox friends are back. Not as healthy as ever though... they lost half of their fur, but still surviving here in the city. City-foxes. No chicken, just digging in the trash, I guess. Similar racoons.
Today we officially pronounced Rosy as our family member. Rosy is our pot-rose. Very very faithful to us since we are in the UK. Our motto for her is "Always dry but never die." Same like our love. Need water sometimes. So for this occasion here is a photo of our friend.... and tomorrow is Valentine's Day. She's got new soil and some fresh water. Now everybody's happy:)

STARTING A DAY
Hey folks!
Last night I just posted a blog about positive thinking! Guess what happened next morning?
Well here's the story which is a good example why is it so hard to stay positive:
We woke up at 5 AM as usual. I used to walk Dewi to the underground station this time. When we exited the front door we saw a big mess of trash on the walkway just beside the bins. It came from a weak black garbage bag which was torn apart probably by foxes. Seems like our new neighbor was too lazy to lift it a meter higher to bin it so he/she just left it on the ground. I told Dewi when I get back I'm going to put it in the bin otherwise the rubbish will be all over the place. She said if I do that then this people will never learn. And I said if I don't do that no one will and we will step on it and bring it inside our room. So when I got back I opened a bin and put the ripped bag into it... and I stepped in the shit. Well at 5:30 AM it is still dark and the 'thing' lay in a shadow of the bin. I couldn't see it. So what can I say? Did I really deserve this? I wasn't even mad at this people. I have no idea where are they from but since they live in this house everything is dirty, not like before. How I know it was their garbage? Because the baby diaper was out of the bag and only they have a baby here.
Good morning! Have a great day!

THINK POSITIVE
Try not to think about negative things – things you don’t want. This is very hard to accomplish, especially when you are in a bad mood. Always think positive. Actually feel positive. Then positive things will happen to you. Get used to this and by the time it will be a natural part of your everyday life. Everything is just a matter of practice. Get used to think and feel positive!Believe that you have the power to change things. Believe that everything is possible. Believe in yourself.
Every thought has a power, an invisible energy. It is important to make this energy work for good. So think positive! You have to be passionate by thinking about good things. You have to feel positive. Imagine the outcome, how you would feel when your wish comes true. By doing this you will have the passion and this positive feeling will give power to your thoughts.
How can you know if you really feel passionate and positive? Your skin starts prickle and tingle all over your body. It’s a nice feeling and it makes you stronger in belief. It’s like an energy explosion from inside of you.
Visualize, imagine the situation you wish to be in. As a result you will smile because it makes you feel good.
Focus on things you want if you want them to happen to you! Only then they will.
Finish what you have started. It is not easy. It requires a strong will, endurance and patience.
Concentrate on things you are doing. Don’t let your mind dissolve.
Breathe!
Take your chances. There are offers in life which may seem useless but those decisions will get you closer to your goal. If you hesitate or doubt, you will have to wait until life gives you another chance. You must be brave to face what awaits you.
Learn to notice the coincidences and accidents. Those are the small steps on your way straight ahead.
'All that we are is the result of what we have thought.' Buddha
Be grateful for what you already have. Millions haven’t got half of it.
Be the master – the ruler – of yourself! Why? Because it is important to overcome your weaknesses and selfish desires.
Laugh every day as much as you can. Watch funny movies. That will help.
Why so many people thinking negative? Because they focus on things what they don’t want. What makes them focus on those things? The media is one of it. It shows too many bad things.
