Funky Tuesdays!

It all started when Diana brought her hat at the office and Ully tried it on in a funky way. Then Denisa said it would be funny doing something out of the ordinary one day...therefore we all decided to have a special day at work, once in a while, which will give us one more reason to smile that day, and relax from busyness: Funky Tuesdays!


Our first Funky Tuesday was last week: it was the Funky Hats Day! we all wore a special hat that reminded us of something or that was special to us, and which we liked very much. Hats from all over the world were present, and colleagues from other departments joined us. It was fun going funky, as it was not quite a normal day; it was a special day, and, of course, doing someting together is very nice.

As the first funky day was a total success, this week we decided to have the Funky Ties Day. We all brought out ties from the closet, and tried to tie the day in the memory lane. Of course some were more tied down to the desks than others, tied in several meetings. To make the day more interesting, we set a goal: the best funky tie wins, but in the end we all reached the tie. Again, it was fun, of course!


Looking forward for the next Funky Day! I am giving you a hint: matching colours :)

Funky days do make the days more special!

Prospects of the future!

How many of you reading now haven't at least once read the horoscope and checked what the stars say about the future? Some of us trully believe in this, others just read it for fun to see what fits or not with our actual lives. But we rarely think that We are the ones deciding about our future, through the decisions we take. Now, I do have to confess that I see the future....well for those of you who need a prediction, you must know that I am quite expensive, but as I am generous enough, here is a preview in the next 7, 15, 28, 35, and, of course, 51 years from now:

In 7 years from now, I have just landed. The flight was too long. This last business trip was so tiring.....I have to get a vacation! I am so glad my husband is waiting for me. He is very busy these days with his projects, but I wouldn't have liked taking a cab. Can't wait to get home, to my children; they will be so happy with what I bought them. I will tell my darling to take a cruise with me this summer - just the two of us; we can leave the kids with my parents...the Nothern sea looks very promissing, with it's warm-chilly breeze....oh' there he is! Hi, darling!

In 15 years from now, I am at the pool. I really enjoy swimming after two hours of playing tennis - is my way of relaxation. In one month from now I have to be in Hong Kong - I hope the speech I'll keep at the WWF Benefit Fund party for polution will have a big impact in the media, and not only; people have to take action if they want to live in a clean environment. The twins will be 11 in the very same day. I'll take them with me - it will be a very nice present for their b-day. My husband has to leave next week for Cuba; he is shooting a movie about the political situation there. I hope he will be back by Christmas - we have never spent one apart.

In 28 years from now, I am in the mountains. My kids are mocking me - they say I don't know how to ski anymore :)))) My son won the gold medal in the Winter Olimpics last year, and now he thinks he's the maestro...hahaha..I can still show him a few moves. My husband went to buy some hot wine - hmmm so good in this cold snowy day. My daughter is following her father's steps - she will leave for Cape Town to shoot her first movie. Working with WWF is keeping me busy - they want me to write a study about how the Nature changed in the last two centuries.

In 35 years from now, my son just told me that he got married. They went in a 3 week trip around Europe, and decided on spot. My husband was furious, as he always hoped we will have a big wedding, but well....I just hope I will be as good mother-in-law as I am as a granny. My grand-daughter is only 2 years old, I love her so much and my daughter is so proud of her - of course she is; she is her mother! Unfortunatelly we see eachother very seldom, as they live miles and miles away. My husband and I are packing for our new cruise: two month travel in the deep waters around the world. I hope the sub is strong enough for the two of us ...hahaha - he got a 'little' belly....and me....what can I say...I always had heavy bones! :D

In 51 years from now, I am surrounded by grand-grand-children! My grand-daughter had 2 and now she is expecting the 3rd one in two weeks. I don't understand why they wanted to keep the mystery, and not find out what the child is. Imature parents! hehehe My son and his wife didn't had any child of their own - they said they didn't had time for one with such busy lifes, but now they are thinking of adopting one. My husband is very happy as he has so many inheritors - of his genes of course, my dear reader I hope you weren't thinking about money :P. On the news they say that a new technology for travelling through time was discovered - I have to find out more about it...

...well...no more predictions for free....I do have to buy food you know...come on...don't be sad... the future is now, in your hands...try living it! ...so you will also have something to write about!
PS: don't forget to give me the link! hihihi...

Ant's Pants - The beginning

Usually in the Aussie slang, ant's pants means someone or something considered the ultimate in style, novelty or cleverness. Well...what can I say...you decide! ...why did I choose this name?...for those who know me you have a hint, for the rest... I invite you to discover it :) It is my first blog ever, I don't know if I will stick with it or not, but I have decided to write it after reading parts of my friend's one, saying: "somehow I realized again and again why we started this blog. Because we want to have something to remember by especially when we're getting old (we are...aren't we?) and also to share the stories to our future children. Cute huh? too cute and too...naive? hihihi" so...here it goes!
