Porodica Sova, Family Nightowls

Sinoc sam zavrsila sliku "Porodica Sova" za koju sam dobila inspiraciju od slike koje sam uradila prosle godine "Maslacak mace" vidi u mom postu od ranije. Slika nije narucena kao sto je bio slucaj sa macama ali se nadam da ce se prodavac naci i mozda ima sansu da bude koriscen za ilustraciju knjige ili razglednice.


Last night I finished my painting of "Family Nightowls" which was inspired by "Dandy Cats" that I painted last year. You can see in my post below. This painting is not commissioned as the cat one was, but I am hopping that a buyer will come, and maybe it could be used for a book illustration or a postcard.

On March 24, 1999, NATO attacked the Republic of Serbia

I am finding it very hard to talk about' this attack on Serbia... I had a feeling like I left my family in trouble. At the time, I had just moved to Australia, and was living there 22 days before this begin. In the middle of the night, while we ware sleeping, the phone rang and it was my family telling me that Serbia is being bombed. In the background I could hear the sirens and bombs.

It is something that I will never forget, and here are some of NATO excuses:

"NATO deeply regrets" the death of five people when missiles fell 600m short of their target and hit residences in the mining town of Aleksinac on April 5.

"NATO deeply regrets" the death of at least ten people when NATO jets hit a Yugoslav passenger train travelling from Belgrade to Salonika on a bridge near Leskovac on April 12.

"NATO deeply regrets" the deaths of 80 people which occurred when NATO attacked two refugee columns in Western Kosovo on April 14.

On March 24, 1999, NATO attacked the Republic of Serbia with bombers and cruise missiles. The "war" (really more of a bombing campaign) marked the first time in over fifty years that European powers (as part of the U.S.-dominated NATO) attacked another European country. The bombing and missile attacks initially occured nightly, then day-and-night, and went on for 11 weeks, causing major damage to Yugoslav society. NATO deliberately bombed water and power supplies, hospitals and prisons, knowing full well that without electricity and water the people of Yugoslavia would suffer great hardship and some (such as people in hospitals with no power) would die. This war was illegal under international law from the beginning. Deliberate infliction of suffering upon civilians is a war crime, and the U.S. generals who planned and carried out this war (in particular, Gen. Wesley Clark) are war criminals.

Dobro nam doslo prolece!! Welcome to the spring :)

Prosla nedelja je bila jako teska. Muz i ja smo bili jako bolesni od neke prehlade ali vise kao neki virus. Zaboravila sam koliko se oslanjamo na zdravlje, dok ga ne izgubimo. Danas kao simbol suncanog dana, proleca na pragu i naseg ozdravljenja, otisla sam u bastu i ubrala ovo cvece na slici.
Pa dragi moji prijatelji i citaoci, hvala vam na strpljenju. I za dolazak proleca 2009, zelim da vam se ostvare sve zelje i puno zdravlja.




It has been a hard week as I was sick and so was my husband. I forgot how much we rely on our well-being, until you lose it. Today, as a symbol of a nice sunny day; spring coming, and us feeling almost perfectly healthy again, I went to the garden and picked these flowers.
So my dear friends and readers thank you for waiting and here is to Spring 2009. May it bring you all you wish for.

"The Biggest Secret" by David Icke

In every day life most of us are like well oiled machines. We grow up, get married, have children, work, purchase a house and car and live and work for a holiday or two.
So under those circumstances, how many of us would even think about what is going on in the world, or about how it all happened... or what is conspiring.


So I wanted to write about the world that David Icke described in his book "The Biggest Secret". If you didn't read, it I highly recommend that you do. You will find it quite shocking to start off, but then you start putting the puzzle together and you ask yourself is it possible!" No"!?

I found this link where you can read it in chapters: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/biggestsecret/biggestsecretbook/biggestsecret.htm

I will only give you part of chapter of his book and I hope I tricked your curiosity.

The New Testament

OK, a little quiz. Who am I talking about?


He was born to a virgin by immaculate conception through the intervention of a holy spirit. This fulfilled an ancient prophecy. When he was born the ruling tyrant wanted to kill him. His parents had to flee to safety. All male children under the age of two were slain by the ruler as he sought to kill the child. Angels and shepherds were at his birth and he was given gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. He was worshipped as the saviour of men and led a moral and humble life. He performed miracles which included healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, casting out devils and raising the dead. He was put to death on the cross between two thieves. He descended to hell and rose from the dead to ascend back to heaven.21


Sounds exactly like Jesus doesn’t it? But it’s not. That is how they described the Eastern saviour god known as Virishna 1,200 years before Jesus is claimed to have been born. If you want a saviour god who died so our sins could be forgiven, take your pick from the ancient world because there are a stream of them, all originating with the Aryan and reptile-Aryan race that came out of the Near East and the Caucasus Mountains.

Here are just some of the ‘Son of God’ heroes who play the lead role in stories which mirror those attributed to Jesus and almost all were worshipped long before Jesus was even heard of:

Khrishna of Hindostan, Buddha Sakia of India, Salivahana of Bermuda, Osiris and Horus of Egypt, Odin of Scandinavia, Crite of Chaldea, Zoroaster of Persia, Baal and Taut of Phoenicia, Indra of Tibet, Bali of Afghanistan,Jao of Nepal, Wittoba of Bilingonese, Tammuz of Syria and Babylon, Attis of Phrygia, Xamolxis of Thrace, Zoar of the Bonzes, Adad of Assyria, Deva Tat and Sammonocadam of Siam, Alcides of Thebes....................

My Birthday

When I was younger I could never understand why older people didn't get excited about their own birthdays, but now I know. Its strange how that transition happened to me and I can not say when I stopped being happy about getting older. As kids we always made sure to increase our age by any possible month we could, but now I would like not to mention numbers.

Living in Australia for 7 years helped me discover many different cultures, and their cuisine. I love good food and I love to cook. I dont think there is any such a thing as "I dont know"... you just take a recipe and start cooking. I always like to be creative when it comes to cooking, so here you will find lots of my cooking and I am hoping you will enjoy it.

For my birthday (7th of March) I made Tiramisu. It was the first time ever for me so I just followed the recipe I found from a woman in New Zealand named Megan, on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TEJXgjId8w

So here are photos of the one I made... it was not very hard making it, but trying to find all the ingredients here in Denmark proved almost imposible, and so expensive! Almost 40€! And here I was, wondering why I never made it before!

My lovely husband made a special Greek stew (made with veal) called Stifado: one of my favorite dishes. So I had to post these photos as well, of his cooking process. I hope you like it!

Proud to be Serbian

I found this link on youtube and had to post it on my Blog. Thanks to djavolak, here is also his text related to the video... very well written.
Serbia is a country that has long been misunderstood in the world mainly because of the political and social trouble the recent wars have created. People have forgotten what Serbia truly is, a beautiful land with a rich culture and history, consisting of very proud people.

More Cats, Maslacak mace

Today I started a new painting and I am hoping it will be as good as my "Dandy Cats" (see pic). I did this painting few months ago and its inspiration for my new one "Family Nightowls", I better go now and paint!!

Danas sam pocela novu sliku da slikam i nadam ce da ce biti uspesna kao sika "Maslacak mace" na slici. Ovu sam sliku naslikala pre nekoliko meseci i od njih sam dobila inspiraciju da naslikam "Porodica sova", pa bolje da idem i bacim se na posao.
