Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 - Back to Croatia! Hey everyone, my one week in Berlin was, as expected - awesome. I can't believe I've waited so long to visit this city. It's...well.... simply amazing, awesome and fantastic! Berlin is....different. Weird, bizzare in some parts, the city which you simply have to love and yet, it drives you crazy. Berlin is an freaky old lady living with 8 cats who scares the hell out of you in an elevator and has young lovers and a thing for black leather. And yet, you want her to whip the hell out of you :) It would take months to truly discover in how many ways Berlin is unique and special. I hope one day I'll have an opportunity to taste that. Here are only 14 of almost 800 photos we made in those 7 days there. Hope you like them. Auf wiedersehen for now. :)
Thursday, December 17th, 2009 - DECADE AND 2009 REVIEW! If you wondered if I'd forget my traditional end of the year best of list of everything - fear not! CLICK HERE for a special page on what was hot and what was not in this year. Review and essay for a whole decade coming soon! Wednesday, December 16th, 2009. - Goodbye noughties! :)
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009. Good show last night, on swine flu. I had a great guest and we had alot of viewers calling in. It was a great pleasure working. I'll be short today, just to drawn your attention to two great new songs and one exceptionally great video. Roisin Murphy and Lady Gaga are back and if you haven't realized yet, pop music world today is one huge Amazon planet. You go girls! :) Lady Gaga's video is like "True Blood" series meets Gwen Stefani, and it's so so sooo awesome!
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 - Taking the long way.... I still can't believe it's been exactly 4 months since my last blog post. So many things happened since. Whole summer passed. Been to so many places in Croatia and abroad, became college senior (started working on my final thesis for school which is about development of IPTV in Croatia and should be presented in July next year). Besides that, I turned 30 few days ago (honestly still feeling like a teenager), visited Belgium last month and most importantly - I've never felt so happy like I do now. Precious weekends together. Conversations I never get enough of. Waking up together feeling like there's no thing or problem in this world that couldn't be solved. That is my life in the last 365 days. As we changed work scheme this fall, my automobile show is off this season. Instead, you can watch me live Friday nights at 20:45 hosting "Theme of the day". They say one picture says more than 1000 words. With that in mind, here are some photos taken in last 4 months. Summer all around Croatia, trip to Brussels, my birthday party as well as U2 concert held in August in Zagreb. (click on a photo to enlarge). Things to look forward to? My baby and I are off to Berlin on Dec. 28th - Jan. 3rd. Before that I'm very excited about big Pet Shop Boys concert in Zagreb Arena on Nov. 29th. Will I write here before that? Only if you remind me, as you have for this blog post. :) Not much going on for me musicwise. I listen to new Zero 7 and Tori Amos albums. Recently I became a big fan of John Coltrane and Vampire Weekend. Not impressed by new albums by The Editors and Robbie Williams. The definite hit of my birthday party was Shakira's "She wolf". Seems like everyone loves it. Auuuuuu! Friday, July 3rd 2009 - Alles neu!
Friday, May 15th 2009. - Love took over Frankfurt Hallo meine liebe! :D Got back from Frankfurt last Sunday. Can't describe the wonderful feeling of finally being able to land at Osijek airport instead of Zagreb or Budapest ones. We were filming in Frankfurt for 5 days and the 60 mins. documentary will air on Sunday 24th, at 20:30 CET. You can watch live stream at www.stv.hr Material is currently in postproduction, and while you wait, here's a little teaser on the left directly from my Facebook profile as well as some photos below. The song that's been haunting me for days now is this year's obvious summer hit and maybe even the single of the year: David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland (ex Destiny's child) - When love takes over. Here's the video from Miami with version slighty different from official radio edit (which is, in my opinion a little bit better). And now, if you'll excuse me I'm off to write some work for school as well as enjoy this weekend with my baby. Oh, and Croatians, don't forget to vote on Sunday! Seeya!
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009. - You send me messsages....
As summer's approaching, I must say I'm not excited about this year's EXIT festival at all as I don't listen or like any of the headliners: Moby, Korn, Manic Street Preachers, Kraftwerk, Patti Smith, The Prodigy.....blah. All boring and spent long time ago! And what I'm I supposed to do know? Cancel my trip to festival this year? Don't know yet, but this moment only artists who could make me go there after all are: Lily Allen, Sander Kleinenberg, which, honestly, isn't enough to keep me interested. Unfortunatelly, they didn't book the hottest new band of the year: Filthy Dukes. They're sooooo good! Even though we're all sick of that retro 80's synthpop sound bombarding us from TV, radio, charts, clubs (IT'S EVERYWHERE!) for months now, I can' help but dance any time I hear some of their hits like "This rhythm" or future big pop single "Messages". Look for them in music downloads section. What I like about their album "Nonsense in the dark" is that none of 13 tracks on it isn't filler. They're all equally good! How often is that with the albums released nowadays? They sound like Mylo, LCD Soundsystem, Simial Mobile Disco and Daft Punk all rolled up in one big bomb of delight! Besides that, 2 thumbs up for new Killers and Lily Allen singles! I'm not gonna waste my energy ellaborating why is Depeche Mode's latest album the biggest piece of shit produced in last 12 months. Everyone who had an opportunity to hear it, knows what I'm talking about. Not that U2's last album is much better, but at least it has 2 good songs. After few days of despair, I finally managed to get 2 tickets for U2 show in Zagreb on August 10th. Yaaaay! Currently on my car stereo (besides Filthy Dukes): Wednesday, February 04th, 2009. - Acceleration starting
Royksopp - Happy Up Here That's about it for this time, I believe you're all sick of long cold winter and can't wait for spring right behind the corner. Read ya in some warmer days! Mwah!Wednesday, November 12nd, 2008. Hey everybody! I haven't written anything in almost 2 months. I've been away from Croatia alot: After Prague and Bratislava, I've visited Brussels (on bussinesss), Dubrovnik (extended weekend), Budva (Montenegro, for Madonna show) and London. Got back from London 2 weeks ago, where I went to celebrate my birthday, I'm 29 now. Patrick, thank you again for you hospitality. The photos are down below, click to enlarge. It's a compilation of all trips in last 3 months, with some from Helloween party held here in Osijek. Really don't have time to put them all online, besides, takes lots of space. And I'm done with travelling for 2008. I really enjoyed it, but feel like I need a rest. The automobile show I started doing in September is going great. This week, it's gonna air for the 7th time and the feedback is very positive. The school is also going great, as you all know, I'm in second year now. My love life went throught some changes recently, but all for the better. New Grace Jones album is finally out and I love it. And Snow Patrol finally wrote a song I grew to like (Take back the city) and they don't sound that pathetic anymore. Listen to it all the time while I was in London. The movies I saw recently and made a good impresion on me are Zeitgeist and Quantum of Solace. That's it for this time, and if you're on Facebook, feel free to add me as a friend. Seeya!
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008. Hey hey hey, Chure's back. It's been crazy summer so far and I'm loving it. Lots of travelling, lots of sun and partying, but quite lot of work too. Got back safe and sound from 5 day trip to Czech republic and Slovakia, where I had a great time. Prague is a fantastic place to visit. My brand new automobile show premieres this saturday at 9pm. Keep ur fingers crossed. It's called "Rikverc" (meaning reverse speed) and I'm quite excited about doing something completely new and unknown to me. I have a brand new image to go with that. My new hairdo scares little children. You thought that guy from The Prodigy was scary? Wait till you see me on TV :) My second year of college starts on 29th, so pretty excited about that too. Three more trips in front of me: Montenegro, Brussels and London. Now, here comes a real shocker without beating around the bush: I'VE JOINED FACEBOOK. Yes, yes, before you acusse me for selling, hypocrisy and not being faithful to my beliefs, let me just say I'm doing a little experiment. So far is going good. And I'm trying to promote this website on Facebook as much as possible. It's not quite "If you can't beat them, join them". It's more like "If you can't quite beat them, get what you can from them". I'd be very happy if I could merge this website and my Facebook profile together in some kind of Chureville FB bastard. Oh well, I guess FB crew will come up with something soon. Tuesday, August 5th, 2008. Holiday today in Croatia, so finally got some free time to work on this site. First of all, gotta say Exit festival was great and wanted to share some of the photos with you. Hope you like them. The documentary from Exit was a big success - got great feedback from everyone who watched it. Personally, I liked the Primal Scream, The Presets and Gossip. Even after Exit I still don't like Manu Chao music, possibly even more than before. What a boring uninspired childish noise. That's about it for Exit this year. Plenty of trips for me left till end of this year. By the end of August I'm off to Prague and the rest of Czech republic and Budapest on my way back. End of September I'm in Dubrovnik and Budva, Montenegro to attend Madonna show (my first ever!) as part of her Sticky and Sweet tour which kicks off soon. Early October I'm in Brussels on bussiness and late October I'm in London with my baby as we will both celebrate our birthdays there. First year of college behind me, work going great, private life too, frankly, I can't remember when was the last time I felt so good about myself as I do nowadays. Not been listening to much of new music lately, just new Tricky, Beck, Weezer and Grace Jones stuff (yes, she is back and better than ever!) Below the Exit photos is the link for you to hear her new song "This is life". Kicks ass!
Tuesday, July 22nd - Moglo bi bit da je lakše umriiit..... Photo: cover of new Metallica album. Keyhole, pussy or grave, you decide :) Thursday, July 10 - My drive thru state of EXIT! - CLICK PHOTO TO WATCH!!!!
CLICK PHOTO TO WATCH FIRST CHUREVILLE ORIGINAL VIDEO EVER! Alright people, it's finally that time of year again. EXIT festival kicks off today and will last till sunday. I'm heading to Serbia tomorrow on an assigment to make a report about 4 days of the best music festival in Europe, according to.....well, everyone, from MTV to me. :) In order to give my hommage to this spectacular event, I'm sharing with you my first video material on this blog ever. My last year's EXIT festival report. You can download it by clicking the photo on the left or just watch it directly. (video duration: 25 mins, size: 61 MB, format: wmv). I'm mostly excited about seeing Primal Scream live there. I've been listening to their entire discography so I can get into my specific PS-mood state of mind as well as remind myself just how fucking good and unique they are. They're releasing new album on July 21st named "Beautiful future", so looking foward to hearing new material live as well. More on music, I can't believe Steve Mac's "Paddy's revenge" has been downloaded 435 times from this website in last 10 days! It's wanted on the entire internet and there are still only radio rips around. Also, I have to share with you my fascination with "My drive thru", song by N.E.R.D. Julian Casablancas from The Strokes and Santogold, made for Converse ad. Real summer anthem with weird Beach Boys feeling. It's on repeat all the time on my car stereo. Simply great stuff. YEEEIII! I'm on top of the world again! :) I have some other good news to share from Chureville. First of all, I have to bragg a bit: passed all of 11 exams and finished first year of Zagreb school of journalism! Yep, I'm free as a bird till autumn. Party can start! The whole gang of 50 students and school management are coming to my area (eastern Croatia) this friday to celebrate. That's alot of booze and student casual sex :) So, passing the exams is the main thing making me happy last few days. In other news: booked my holiday. Leaving for Berlin, Germany on July 23rd (exactly 4 weeks from today) and staying there for a week. After that will probably head to croatian coast or Budapest (if one of my travel buddies sorts his work shit out). Today's the hottest day of the year, so I better go out and get some tan. Read ya soon! Tuesday, June 10th - finally, live!
Saturday, June 7th - Viva la vida!
Tuesday, June 3rd - I can see a hurricane tonight, that keeps me from my Valentine Oh My God! Check this out! CLUB ''HACIENDA'', Vodice - Šibenik (CRO): Wednesday, May 14th - Hello, life
Got some new music recently. Epic post-rock tinged emotional indie stalwarts Elbow release their fourth album 'The Seldom Seen Kid', another staunchand anthemic collection of songs. Download calming "Mirrorball" here. Maybe I fell for it because it reminded me to something Zero 7 would release, but I listen to it over and over again. Also gave chance to new "Death cab for cutie" record. Find it boring. New Madonna is complete shit, as expected. Trent Reznor is back and Nine Inch Nails finally wrote a song which can be compared to their best works so far. It's called "Lights in the sky" and you can find it on their new album "The Slip". It just strucked directly into that special dark place inside of me. Just like NIN 1999 album "Fragile" still does. In my headphones are also MGMT, Supergrass, James, Martha Wainwright and Kooks. I'm still very much into volleyball and practising every saturday and sunday. That's about all from Chureville for this time. Stay tuned! Saturday, April 12, 2008. - Don't cry, don't raise your eyes, It's only teenage rampage........
Few words about the latest music my dears. Don't tell anyone but, IT'S DA SPRING DANCE EXPLOSION again! :) Heaps of fantastic new tunes waiting on you. Shapeshifters are back with "Chime", their best single single "Lola's theme" (and yes, it's s rework of Orbital's classic). Same stuff, but redone by Paul Woolford was highlight of last summer's EXIT festival. Boy, what a fantastic night that was! You can hear Shapeshifters version here. Riton remix of Hercules and Love Afair "You belong" is simply divine. Download it here. The Cube Boys remade The Who's classic "Baba O'Rilley" for the dancefloor. I already picture myself on some wild summer festival in dance arena dancing my ass off on these ones with smell of grass, mud and beer all around me. That reminds me, line-up for this year's EXIT festival main stage is totally unintersting to me and looks I'll stick to DANCE ARENA. So far confirmed for DANCE ARENA: Laurent Garnier, 2 many DJ's/Soulwax, Tiga, Deep Dish, Sven Vath......ahhh.....absolute heaven. :) Got new REM, Nada Surf, Portishead and Hercules and Love affair albums. I've been randomly skipping songs on them, but looks like I'll be spending few next days listening to 4 new wonderful albums. That's it for today, the rain stopped outside and I'm off to sweap the dust off my bike and pedal for a change. Oh, forgot to tell you, I started training volleyball. I'm getting really good at it and I love it. :) Friday, March 21, 2008. - HAPPY EASTER! First of all, I wish you all the
best for Easter holidays, may you enjoy your extended weekend as much
as you can. Stuff yourself, drink and party till dawn. I know I will :)
I hope I sent everyone neccessary postcards/emails. Work first: my
story from Cologne is airing once again tomorrow night at 20:30 (PRIME
TIME!) on STV. I'm so proud :) I get lots of questions about new Madonna track. Guys, it's right here for you to hear. New season of "South park" kicked off. I must say I
was quite dissapointed by the first episode, but the second one was
fucking awesome. See for yourself. Sunday, March 16th, 2008. - Fly me to the moon.... Just got back from Cologne, Germany this evening, where cameraman and I, joined by fellow reporter from local Osijek newspaper spent a weekend filming a story about start of international flight line between Osijek and Cologne/Bonn airport. That's right ppl, as of this friday you can fly to Germany from Osijek International Airport for lousy 19 Euros one way. So we packed our bags 2 days ago and went to Germany to see what's offering. And believe me, there's a lot to try. Whole documentary will air on STV this tuesday (18th) at 22:00 CET, so make sure you tune in for live broadcast at: www.stv.hr (you choose LIVE STREAMING in the menu). Here are some photos from the trip (click on photo to enlarge). In other news, heard new Madonna track today. Not impressed at all. What a timbalandish bunch of crap. That's all for this time. Tschuss! :) Sunday, February 24th, 2008.
Thursday, January 24th, 2008 - Secret sunday lover Hiya all! It's been a beeeeautiful day in Chureville :) Hope 2008. kicked off for you well like it did for me. Funny anegdote from work today, for starts. This huuuge guy coming to news room today, saying hello, shaking my hand and saying "Shit, I gotta send you that photo of you sitting in my lap". Imagine my confused face. And then my colegues looking at me weird. And then me having flashback trying to remember when was I THAT drunk. Nope. No result. And then he said: "It's me, Santa" with a little wink. :))) So, that reminded me that I actually have a blog which I should update. Oh and before I forget, pleeeeease DON'T send me any more invitations to join Facebook or MySpace. I fucking hate those community sites and I've said my opinion about them years ago. They're shit and I rather hang out with my real friends in real life. This is as much online keeping in touch as I and you need, alright? No one can believe that Heath Ledger is really dead. One of the few young Hollywood actors I really admired and respected. What a shame. Off to Zagreb next week again for 5 days of lectures, far away from work. Goodie. Seen "Knocked up" last night, had a good laugh. Will watch "No country for old men" tonight. As for music, I'm listening great tune which I've missed in 2007 Ali Love's "Secret sunday lover". Besides that I enjoy Shawn Mullins, Ghosts and Scouting for girls. New YouTube video for end of today's post. Just to remind you how big pig I can be sometimes, even while working :) All good and bad comments about my beard are welcome! Kisses 2 all!

Welcome
to snowy Croatia. 18 cm of snow outside, and still falling. Hope it would
stop till Saturday because I'm preparing a little ice-skating surprise for
my better half. Speaking of, we booked our Berlin trip and will arrive to German capital on
Monday, 28th. Return flight on January 3rd, and will be back to work on 4th. Can't describe how excited I am about visit to Berlin on 20th anniversary of German unification. So much history to learn, so much art to enjoy...Been listening to David Bowie's Berlin trilogy albums for weeks, as well as U2's Achtung baby, Lou Reed's Berlin album and everything related or inspired by Berlin. Yes, I know it's going to be freezing cold and I can't wait. :) Not to mention New Year's Eve on Brandenburg gate with Ida Corr, Right Said Fred and ABBA celebration band. Expect thousands of photos from Berlin trip right here! :) Man, we'll get so wasted. School is out till January 10th, so plenty of time to get some work done at home. This is my first blog post with new Dreamweaver (new, Adobe's version of that web editing software). I resisted for quite some time to switch to new layout, I don't like it at all. Oh, and don't forget to return here soon for my big 2009 and whole decade review in music! Love ya all, mwah! 
What a chaotic week behind me! And I'm not talking about Michael Jackson's death, fall of 2 planes in only a week time or resignation of croatian prime minister that's shaking up this country in last 2 days. Luckily, I have only good news to report. I'm done with 2nd year of my studies as I've passed all of 12 exams. Yup. Just one more year. I'm totally exhausted with constant Osijek-Zagreb-Osijek travelling, but it was worth it. Next 3 months just resting. I don't even wanna hear the word Zagreb! 
Hellooooo my dear readers!!! The spring is here and I'm busy with work and school as always. In fact, that busy I had to cancel my April trip to Berlin. Instead of that I'm off to 
Hey everybody, Chureville welcomes you to 2009! "Champagne for everyone", as Bubbles Devere from Little Britain would say :) NYE celebration was unexpectedly, in one word - fantastic. Haven't had such a great time with my friends in aaaages. I would post the photos, but they are way too explicit even for this website! :) What's new? Well, 2009 started quiet and slow for me, just like 2008 did. Have some travels booked for this year, the main ones being Berlin in April (together with my baby, soooo excited as it's my life dream to live in that city for a longer period. Not to mention my baby is fluent in German, as opposed to my rusty German not used since high school), and hopefully Sydney late December, if I don't bankrupt in the meantime :) As Ryanair starts flights from Osijek to London Stansted late April, there's a huge possibility I'll be heading to UK again this summer, third time in three years. But this time, I'm more interested in exploring other cities than London, especially Manchester and Liverpool over the weekend. My automobile magazine "Rikverc" is at half of its season, 20th show in mid February. The feedback has been great so far, and we just signed new exclusive contract with Opel Croatia, having ones already signed with Suzuki, Mercedes, Jeep, Chrystler, Peugeot, Renault, Toyota among others. Recently I'm haunted by idea to start my own internet business, uniting my two passions: internet and journalism. I'm still working on it, and if it goes really well, I'd even consider quiting TV job. I'm currently gathering a team of people. As for my academic career, have some exams lined up this month, so wish me luck. Only 18 months of school left till graduation, YAAY! Because of it, I'm still living between Zagreb and Osijek and still didn't get sick of it. It was nice to make a break over Christmas and New Year, but I'm again in full speed. Love life is constant and peachy, so nothing to complaint about in that department. It's getting serious and it frightens me occasionally, which everyone says "It's normal Marin" :) I'm getting great ideas for Valentine's day, so I'll let you know how that went. What's new in my jukebox, you ask? I got plenty of new music for you, all fresh and great. Download links are below and first two songs from the list are, in my humble opinion, absolute bliss and I never get tired of playing them. 
I know I've been ignoring them for too long on this website, but they finally delivered something worth of stopping the ignorement. :) Yes, Coldplay are back with a brand new album. For me, they were never a band to be taken seriously. I thought they were dull and wining. Frankly, at moments they'll always be. if Michael Bolton was in a band, it would be called Coldplay. In other words, Coldplay are estrogen hell for me. Soundtrack for room of brokenhearted schoolgirl. Their first song I could even consider liking was "Speed of sound". I saw them more as fashionable businessmen than musicians. Yes, Coldplay and I had alot of problems. That is, before I got my hands on "Viva la vida". Yes, they were already a huge band, no matter what kind of crap I write on here, but this album will skyrocket them. This time, they truly kick ass! Ballads are the weaker side of "Viva la vida". It's when they break free and loose it, they show a complete new side of themselves. Especially in center part of album with tracks such as Yes!, Viva la vida and Violet hill. This is an album that brings back faith into writing good songs. It's pop. It's simple. It's contageous. It's effective. It's perfectly rounded. And one of the best 3 albums I've heard so far this year. And please, buy it. 
Tough second half of April is behind me. Solving love troubles, fighting college headmasters over my constant absence and finding out one of my closest friends is diagnosed with deadly desease. I felt frustrated, helpless and quite angry at some point to all of these events. Living in two cities makes an impact on me. So huge I honestly don't know where I live anymore. But that has more good sides than bad ones. As soon as I get bored with work and Osijek, I hop on train and leave. And as soon as Zagreb becomes too chaotic, too fast and too, well, hostile for me, I run back home. Yet, I find myself thinking about going somewhere with no people, just me and laptop or a good book. Yes, appareantly I need a holiday, but that's gonna wait for 2 more months. Just got back from Austria where I did story on preparations of croatian football players in lovely spa town called Bad Tatzmannsdorf. Saunas, jacuzzies, swimming and massages....could get used to that kind of life. That is, if that place wasn't in the middle of nowhere, far from any major city. I'm covering two major music festival this summer 
Hello
girls and boys! Here are the latest headlines: I'm still living between
Zagreb and Osijek and that's gonna last until mid June. Enjoying my new
position on STV (project manager) more and more every day. I'm still
doing lots of stories, but also more interested in other stuff such as
organising, directing and sponsoring events. After 6 years in reporter
bussiness, it's quite challenging not to be "just a reporter". In other
news, as it's the case every spring, my hormones simply exploded again.
:) I'm like a bunny on E. And somebody is quite lucky because of that. 
Now,
a bit about Facebook (again) and (I promise) my final clash with it.
This won't be so much about why Facebook is bad, stupid and useless,
but more about why I find this or any other blog superior to it. Look
guys, I know some of you wanted to piss me off additionally knowing how
I hate it by sending me numerous invitations for Facebook, but it just
not gonna happen. In general, I've been invited to join Facebook by at
least 60 people over last couple of months. 60 people! Some of you have
Facebook accounts, I understand that. The internet peer-pressure to
join Facebook is astronomically huge, since everybody and their dog has
an account. That's exactly what bothers me. I DON'T want to be a part
of such community. I have astronomically huge desire of always being
different. Of always doing something on my own. I've been blogging for
10 years this December. 10 fucking years. I've drawn the line long long
time ago. THIS blog is the way I want to keep in
touch online with people I care about. If you don't like it, don't read
it. People from my past stayed in my past for a reason. Why the hell
would I search for them on Facebook? I don't want you to know
EVERYTHING about me. By putting everything about yourself out there in
the open, you leave yourself vulnerable from a lot of creepy people. A
lot. I don't write often here (some of you are pissed off by that) and
when I do I try to do it in as much as different form from one Facebook
allows you. This is something I can truly call mine. I created it, I
design it, I modify it. This is as much as I want to be out in the open
for you. Don't get me wrong, I very much use popular stuff, gadgets and
shit. I'm on MSN, I have Googletalk, I even bought fucking blackberry
which I love. But, being part of community which measures friendships
by number of page hits, I just can't fake that, sorry. Why do we need
to know what someone else who we really don’t know is doing every
minute of the day? Who would want to broadcast their life to a network
of people across the country and then again including those people from
high school you didn’t really like anyways? People, this is getting
seriously sick. It's stupid, informations you get on Facebook are
useless, it's unbeliveably ugly and most of all: it's CREEPY. Like some
weird cult. Yesterday it was Myspace, today it's Facebook, tomorrow who
knows what. They all come and go. Chureville prevails for a decade
already. Enough said. Once and for all: Facebook story closed! 
The
photo? No special reason, just one of the recent ones. OK, The best
news first: I passed all five exams in my first semestar at Zagreb
School of Journalism. 6 more exams in June and I'm done with first
year. Bravo me! :) After first few months of not being sure if I'll be
able to do it - working in Osijek, studying in Zagreb, with alot of
effort, help from colegues, leading ppl of school and understanding at
work, I guess I've managed to find a balance. I can't describe how
happy I am. I can't remember when was the last time I've read so many
books in such short period of time. All journalism and croatian
language related. There's been alot of talk about me moving to Zagreb
lately and all I can say is that it's not gonna happen any time soon. I
mean, all Zagreb job offers I'm getting are insufficient compared to
quality, comfor and satisfaction my current job is giving me now, here
in Osijek. Renting new, of course overpriced apartment in Zagreb, using
public transportation, new enviroment, new colegues, new friends,
overcrowded streets and short lunch breaks is just not something I
could deal with right now.
