Nii, väike ülevaade siis, kus ma siin oldud aja jooksul käinud olen...
NYC'd juba mainisin, kuid sinna tahan kunagi veel tagasi minna! That's my city!
anywho... paar nädalat tagasi käisime Paula, tema ema ja Ryaniga Seani hokimängu vaatamas, eelmine nädalavahetus käisime Seani jalka (ameerika jalgpall) mängu ja Kaylee cheer'i vaatamas, seekord vedas, et mõlema mängud olid samas linnas, Danversis. tihti on nad erinevates linnades, seega mõlemat siis ei näe...
See kolmapäev käisime siis Bostonid TD Gardenis Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey tsirkust vaatamas. see oli hullult lahe.!!!!! minu lemmik koht oli, kuid 7 mootorratturit korraga suht väikeses puuris sõitsid (see oli ümmargune, kunagi ehk lisan pildid ja videod ka)....amazing!
Eile käisin siis ühe saksa au pairiga Burlington kaubamajas, mis on meeletult suur... me ei käinud seal shoppamas, vaid õhtust söömas, restoranis nimega UNO. sellel on mingi Chicago teema, kuid lahe koht oli! kõige parem oli asja juures see, et noormees, kes meid meie lauda juhatas, küsis, kust me pärit oleme (ju siis sai aru, et me pole kohalikud), ma vastasin, et teine tüdruk on saksamaalt ja mina eestist, siis ta kohe ütles - OMG, mu vanaema on eestist ja alati kui keegi ütleb, et nad on euroopast, siis ma loodan, et nad on eestist...see oli nii armas temast :)
et siis jah...

Living in America...

Hakkan siis täiesti algusest (loodan, et mäletan ikka kõike...)
Reisi alustasin siis 7.sept vara hommikul, kui hakkasin vanaisaga Nõmmest Tallinna lennujaama poole sõitma. Sealt siis põrutasin 6.40 edasi Taani (kartsin, et seekord jääb ka see lend hiljaks ja pagas kaob ära...) anywho... Taanist edasi lendasin Saksamaale, kus ma molutasin lennujaamas oma 6 tundi, eriti põnev oli, sest mul pea valutas ja ma olin üsnagi väsinud. Kui siis lõpuks lennuki peale sain, seadsin end mugavalt sisse ja hakkasin filme vaatama. Nende suurte lennukite puhul on lahe see, et igal reisijal on oma väike ekraan eesoleva seljatoe sees ja sealt on võimalik valida päris mitme filmi ja seriaali ning ka raadiote vahel. Vaatasin siis "Kiired ja vihased 4" ära (I ja II meeldivad mulle ikkagi rohkem...) panin mingi raadio mängima ja üritasin natuke magada. Ruumi laiutada ei olnud, seega olin suht kange kui üles ärkasin, kuid suur pluss oli see, et mul oli padi ja tekk olemas. Lend kestis 9 tundi...
kui siis lõpuks maandusin ameerika mandril, oli juba õhtu käes...kohver oli alles ja midagi ei olnud kadunud. passikontrollis saind paberit kenasti korda, võtsin oma kolm kotti ja hakkasin teisi au pair'e otsima. Leidsin paar tüdrukut, nendega jalutasime lennujaama ukse juurde, kus meid ootas AuPairCare autojuht, kes viis meid siis edasi hotelli. olin niiiiiiii õnnelik sinna jõudesi, eriti siis, kui nad andsid meile meie toa võtmed. ma sain hotellis suure voodi, mis oli super mugav!
3 päeva oli meil siis au pairide koolitus, mida juhendasi hullult lahedad ja energilised naised, kes rääkisid igast huvitavaid juhtumeid varasematest au pairidest.
neljapäeval, 10.sept siis pakkisin asjad uuest, et jätkata oma reisi bostonisse ja sealt edasi "koju". Bostoni lennujaamas sain siis pere ja Sarah'ga kokku ning sõitsime edasi koju. Sarah on siis pere eelmine au pair, kes oli nädal peale minu jõudmist veel siin, et mind kohaliku eluga kurssi viia.
Peale tema lahkumist on siin suht kiire ja kreisi olnud. Kõige vanem poeg mängib hokit ja ameerika jalgpalli ning tal on trennid ja mängud iga nädal (k.a. ndlavahetus) ning pere tütar on cheerleader ja tegeleb ka tantsimisega, seega temal on ka kõik ndlavahetused hõivatud. kuid see ongi hea, kui palju tegemist on, siis ei ole aega kurvastada, et kodust nii kaugel olen.

See on siis väike kokkuvõte, kuidas eluke siin keerleb, kui viitsimist on, siis jätkan homme kirjutamist, et teada anda, mille põnevaga ka tegelenud olen ;)

take care

B*A*N*A*N*A*S

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!! This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fibre. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. Constipation: High in fibre, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight And at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD suffer ers because they contain the natural mood Enhancer tryptophan. Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic Ra te rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels.. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%! Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hol d the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!!

First we had the "God's Eye"

and now the "cosmis hand reaches for the Light"
Here's a picture.

Pretty amazing I must say...

amazing!

This is great!
I first heard about this guy few weeks ago, but I didn't expect to see a video about this. He's a flight attendant in USA and when he has to to this intro (how to fasten seat belts, where are the emergency exits etc etc.) he makes it a bit more interesting.
here's a video:

I wish i could see him someday LIVE. :)


* * * * *

and another video I discovered this weekend:
he's a bbc radio1 DJ (the guy from this video) and they had this "thing" on their show where the DJ's and hosts made home videos of different famous songs and they also asked the radio listeners to do the same and they got lots of responses. but here's my fav:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD7YT8pCt4Q

when i first saw it I laughed really hard and also thought how smooth can you be, eh'?
i mean he's even better than Chris Brown himself, but that's only my opinion...


and last but not least:
title: "Paris Hilton and Ellen Degeneres go clubbing"
the title says it all...

OMG!

Sacha Baron Cohen is ready to shoch the world, again...
In summer he will come out with his new movie called "Brüno", which could be even more funnier than Borat was, maybe...
I saw the trailer and I really don't know what to say or should I laugh or cry, but here's a link for you to see it for yourself:

(praktika Inglismaal 05/01/09 - 20/02/09)

Olen olnud siis 3 n2dalat ja siiani on meeletult lahe olnud. Pere on v2ga s6bralik ning tookaaslased on hullult lahedad. Igap2ev saab korralikult naerda.

Inglismaale tulek oli kyll paras seiklus. 5. jaanuari hommikul tundus, et k6ik l2heb kenasti - Piia oli nii armas, et viist mu lennujaama, check-in tehtud ninf turvakontroll ka l2bitud. Siis mingi hetk anti teada, et lennuk Tallinnast Kopenhaagenisse kell 6.40 on edasi lykatud, tund aega. OK, enne 8 sain siis l6puks lennukile ning ei l2inud kaua kui hakkasime liikuma. Kuna see oli mu esimene lend yldse, olin v2ga 2revil. Kartsin, et 6hkut6us on jubedam, kuid polnud midagi hullu. Ja vaade, mis avanes (sain istekoha akna alla) oli lihtsalt uskumatult ilus. P2ike hakkas just t6usma ning WOW!
Anyway...l6puks j6udsin siis Koppi, hilinemisega muidugi. Seega olin maha j22nud lennust B'ham'i. brilliant!!! Kysisin siis infost, et mis ma tegema pean, kui olen lennust maha j22nud minust mitte olenevatel p6hjustel. Teenindaja saatis mu SAS'i mingisse osakonda, kus mulle organiseeriti uus lend - l2bi Frankfurdi muidugi. F-is on yks Euroopa suurimaid lennujaamu ja minu esimesel lennukogemusel saadetakse kohe sinna...pole hullu, sest 2ra ma ei eksinud, kuskil. Kopist Frankfurti lennatest sain keskmise istekoha, yhel pool oli soomlasest 6ppej6ud ning teisel pool eestlane. Frankfurti j6udes oli ilm jube - pilves ning sadas lund ja vihma. Terminali ma ei saanud otse lennukist, vaid reisijad viidid bussiga. Samamoodi sain ka lennukile B'hami, mis ka muidugi hilines!! Kui siis l6puks Inglismaale j6udsin, oli kell 16 (ish) kohaliku aja j2rgi. Ja asjale pani muidugi punkti fakt, et mu pagas oli ka kadunud. Ilus algus siis - kohale j6udsin mingi 6 tunnise hilinemisega ja ilma pagasita...Vastuv6tt oli meeldiv passi/ID-kaardi kontrollis kysis turva, kuidas Happy New Year on eestikeeles :)
Kuid lennujaamast kojus6it oli meeldiv. Ikkagi UK ju :) liiklus on vastassuunas (ei tohi oelda, et valel pool!!) ning need majakesed, mida filmides n2eb - i love this place!!! Ma ise elan ka sellises korter-majas.
(endiselt 05/01/09)
Majutajateks on Piers ja Zaira Milne. Nendel on tytar Leila, kuid teda kodus ei ole, sest ta 6pib Leeds'is ning on v2ga kaheldav, kas ma teda yldse n2en selle aja jooksul, mil siin olen. Koju j6udes oli Zaira kodus syya tegemas. Vastu v6ttis sooja kallistusega, mida oligi vaja p2rast sellist p2eva. Korralik 6htusook oli - kartuliroog ja peekon. Hiljem tutvustati mulle elamist. V2ga ilus kodu on neil. Mul on oma tuba ja telekas!!!!! milline luksus :)
Hea uni tuli peale sel 6htul...ei tea millest...

06/01/09 - 27/01/09
6.dal l2ksin sii kolledzhisse, et oma tookohaga tutvuda. See ei ole v2ga kaugel mu kodukohast, mingi 20-25 mintsa jalutamist, mis ei ole yldse halb. OK...L6puks kohtusin siis Sally ja Grahamiga, kelle abiga ma siia yldse sain. R22kisin siin oma seiklustest B'ham-i j6udmisest. Mainis ka, et mul ei ole pagast, kuid tegin eelmine p2ev avalduse kadunud pakasi kohta. Grahami sekret2r siis helistas lennujaam ja sealt oeldi, et pagas on kohal *milline kergendus*. Kuid k2tta ma ei saanud seda enne 6htut, sest autojuht l2ks kodu ukse taha enne 12, kuid siis ei olnud kedagi kodus, seega ta k2is vahepeal Wales'is ja siis tuli tagasi. See selleks, v2hemalt sain oma asjad k2tte!
Kuid Sally ja Grahamiga said paberi asjad aetud, viidi mind mu praktika kohale, milleks on media resources. Minu juhendajaks on Fearon, yks lahedamaid inimesi, kellega olen kohtunud. Siin office'is on veel Michelle, v2ga s6bralik kolleeg, kellega on alati millestki r22kida, Jim ja Jackie. Niina oli ka siin, kuid tema lahkus 23.jaanuar :(
minu tooks on siis plaatide tegemine, piltide printimine ning equipment deilvery (l2pakate ja projektorite klassidesse viimine).
Vabal ajal olen k2inud linnas jalutamas, kinos, paaril korral v2ljas 6htust soomas ning eelmine ndlvahetus (23/01) j6udsin l6puks siis korralikku Briti pubisse!!! tglt kolme...Nalja sai palju :)

v2ike kokkuv6te siis siin oludud ajast. edaspidi yritan korralikum olla ning tihedamini sissekandeid teha...

take care!
