Going home again!

Published by petra under Personal

It’s been another eventful year for me whether it came to my professional, but mostly personal life. I did some traveling, meeting new people or reconnecting with old ones. I also had to make some life altering decisions & probably for the first time in my life I put myself ahead of everyone else in order to be happy in a long run.

It’s been hard on me in more than one way, but am glad and thankful that I have found the strength to do so. I am so grateful for all the people that helped me through all this or even opened my eyes and gave me strength to follow through. During trying times like these, it always warms your heart to know that there are and always will be people in your life who will love you no matter what… who’ll love you unconditionally, and all that is priceless.

As we all know, we all live our lives the best way we can and have our own hurdles that we need to go through or pass. Unfortunately, my mom had to go through another one less than two weeks ago when she unexpectedly lost her husband. It saddened all of us and took us by surprise. Everyone who knew Jožko, will remember him for his great spirit and always smiling no matter what state of mind he might have been. We all miss him dearly.

I wish it was under different circumstances, but this event brought me to a decision to go home sooner than expected. It might have taken more than a week for my work to approve, but now it’s official that day after Thanksgiving, I will be flying out of Seattle to go home to spend Christmas Holidays with my family and friends in Bratislava.

I will be working during the week, but still will try to mingle with my friends and have some fun. I would love to travel some too but only time will show if any of that will work out.

Back in Bratislava

Published by petra under Personal,Slovak,Travel

It has been a while since I posted anything about what I’ve been up to. Last year went by fast, I don’t even know how but I am glad it did. It wasn’t the best or my favorite year. Well, maybe attending NKOTB concert in Tacoma, WA. That was FUN!!!! :)

However, other things didn’t seem to work out as they’ve been planned like having Paul’s mom over for Thanksgiving. She had to cancel last minute, then we got stuck in Portland over Christmas, instead of going to see everyone in California due to snow storms. Nevertheless, I ended up making my mind about coming to visit my family and friends in Bratislava, Slovakia after almost 1 and 1/2 year for an entire month. Continue Reading »

Two more gold medals for Slovakia!

Published by petra under General,Slovak

YES, today we’ve got two more gold medals thanks to Pavol and Peter Hochschorner (twin borthers) in the Men’s C2 Slalom race and Elena Kaliska wins women’s Kayak (K1) at the Beijing Olympic Games! How exciting!!! First it was Martin Martikan, and now this trio. Obviously, if you haven’t noticed yet, Slovakia rules the world in Canoe/Kayak Slalom. ;-)

Slovakia in Beijing!

Published by petra under General,Slovak

I have to admit that I haven’t watched much of Olympics so far, since I am either not at home, or just don’t feel like watching TV. Plus I don’t like how Olympic Games are being broadcasted on TV here. You don’t get to see much of anything, unless US team is participating. However, I might watch it tonight, since it got pointed out to me that Slovakia has won a gold medal today! So, if I am lucky tonight, I might get to sing to Paul a Slovak National anthem! :-)

Furthermore, Zuzana Stefecekova won a silver medal yesterday in Women’s Trap, which is an event that she is a world recorder in. Great job everyone and thank you for representing so well!!!
