Welcome Mr Spring...

Spending a wonderful Sunday, chilling out in the warm sun. You can see the snow in the background which is the only thing people in Sarajevo have been seeing for the last 3 months. A bit of sun and warmth brings a smile to people's faces and makes people get out of the houses and into the light.
A perfect day to kick of your shoes and let your hair down... ah, if only every day was sunny and warm...
Goodbye winter, welcome spring...

What do we really want?

In the darkest hour

I sat and had coffee with a couple of very close girl friends a few days ago just chatting about girl issues and the topic of difference between men and women came up.

Now, I am not an expert on this issue, I admit and I’d much rather not discuss it but a couple of very interesting points came up which I would like to share.

Apparently, men are more chilled about guy-girl relationships when women tend to make it all about themselves and make love and passion the centre of their lives.

This is true, speaking from experience, because girls like the emotional stability and quite often blame their ‘bad things in life’ on their ‘bad luck in love’.

Example: you have a fight with your boyfriend, everything else seems to go bad and work sucks, school is crap and so on. You make up and the sun is shinning again and you are seeing the world as this wonderful, pink place. Sounds familiar girls?

We also, generally like to make men our own personal projects. I have been trying to avoid this for quite some time but having a bit of trouble with the detachment :) We like to analyze and inspect every single bit of our conversations, behaviors, facial expressions etc.

Sometimes I think the women kind is doomed and this is our curse.

When we are not in a relationship we dream of having someone to hold our hand and have someone to call in the middle of the night and tell them all about your bad dreams. On the other hand we are stating we are independent and can live without men and being in a relationship want to escape and be free and not have any obligations towards anyone.

I think this is another curse, because most of the time we don’t really know what we want, do we? But the thought that men don't know what they want either is comforting. Fun, sex, love, security..? What do you think?

Basically, to us, men are just one big puzzle we can’t live with but can’t live without either. Trying to decode them is just one big headache so I will just leave it to the experts and read some of those “Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars” books.

But nevertheless my friends and I will still spend our time having coffee and never ending discussions about what the conquerors of our hearts did or did not do…that will never change.

Cheers

Marketing Communication

You see a gorgeous guy at a party. You approach him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed". That's Direct Marketing.

You are at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous guy. One of your friends approaches him, points at you and says "She's fantastic in bed".
That's Advertising.

You see a gorgeous guy at a party. You approach him and get his telephone number. The next day you call him and say "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed".
That's Telemarketing.

You are at a party and see a gorgeous guy. You get up and straighten your top, wipe your skirt, walk up to him and saduce him. You flatter him, laugh at his jokes, let him drive you home and then say "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed".
That's Public Relations.

You are at a party and see a gorgeous guy. He walks up to you and says "I hear you are fantastic in bed".
That's Brand Recognition


This semester out of 4 classes I am taking I took Marketing Communication and this is what we learned on the 1st day. :) I think i am going to like this subject. :)

Home sweet home..

I'm finally back home, after two weeks spent outside of my bed in various hotels first in Soesterberg in The Netherlands then in my home town in Sarajevo. Can you imagine being in your own city but not being able to go home...
But i am not complaining on the contrary. I was having a great time.
I didn't get to see much in the Netherlands (though i had seen it before) because of the conference (International Presidents' Meeting) which was tiring but also very inspiring listening to some great people talk, electing the new president body of our organization, hearing some great stories etc... I enjoyed myself.
This will probably be my last international legislative meeting of AIESEC.
As soon as I landed a car came to pick me up and take me to another hotel in Sarajevo where i was one of the event managers for BH Case Challenge a student case competition i have been working on for almost a year and a half.
I had no time to recharge my batteries but had to go straight for the battle field. I spent three wonderful days organizing this event, again meeting great people, having fantastic conversations, seeing some great team building and bonding. It was a true example of 10 people working to create something great.
I am back at home now, after 16 hours of sleep, i am ready for some new action.
Snow has fallen in Sarajevo, everything is white and it hurts my eyes.
I feel like I am hung over all the time due to the fact that i have no energy in my body and my every single muscle hurts... i will get better soon just in time to realize i didn't write anything i wanted to write about IPM and BHCC... and i have so many information...

But now it's time to get some more rest. Take care people.
