MY LIFE AS AN AU-PAIR #10

April 16, 2011

Saturday was a wonderful day :D Debbie invited me to her friend's bbq (which took place in Basildon) so I was excited to go out and meet new people! Debbie was supposed to meet me at the London Bridge station (I had to take a tram to get to East Croydon and then I had to take a train to get to London Bridge)

 but she burned her brownies lol so when I got to London Bridge she was still home baking new brownies ))) We were talking on the phone and she told me to take the underground and go to West ham...I was scared to travel around London by myself but at the same time I knew it would take her at least two hours to pick me up and then we would have to go back to her house anyway so I decided to be brave and go to Basildon by myself lol When I got to West ham I was supposed to take a train to Basildon but unfortunately it wasn't working that day -__- Sooo I had to take the underground again and go to Stratford...Debbie wanted to meet me there but then she heard this voice in the background that said "The train to Basildon leaves in 2 minutes from platform 8" so she was like "Jump on that train Vendy, jump on that train!" lmao I was so scared because I didn't hear that voice in the background and I had no idea how she coud be so sure that it was the right train lol but I trusted her and I got on the train ))) It took quite a long time to get to Basildon and all I could see on the way there were trees and fields so that kinda made me nervous hahah but I got to Basildon eventually and Debbie was waiting there for me :D I was so proud of myself lol I honestly thought I was gonna end up somewhere in Scotland ))) Soooo then we had to buy something so we went to the center of Basildon...

It's not a big big city but it is quite nice :D We met some of Debbie's friends, when she introduced me to them ("This is my Czech penpal Vendy^^) her friend was like "Oh I want to go to the Czech Republic! What's the capital of it? Are Czech guys cute?" lol  Why would I live in England if my country was full of cute guys?! lol But yeah after that we went to Debbie's house and then we met 2 other girls (Delphine and Sharon) who were supposed to go to the bbq with us :)     I had to laugh when Sharon was like "I don't want to go to a bbq full of white people" and then she looked at me and said "Oh no offence!" lmao After a few minutes we decided to go to a pub instead ^^ We spent like 2 or 3 hours there and it was a lot of fun ))) I had tears in my eyes when Sharon was telling us a story about some racist guys she met at work, she was using random things she found on the table to represent each person ("This is gonna be me!" *Sharon grabs a little mayonnaise sachet* "Oh wait, that can't be right because it's white.." *Sharon grabs a brown looking sachet* "Ok, so this is me!" xDDDD)...I thought I was going to meet Debbie, spend a couple of hours at the bbq and then go home BUT the girls decided to take me to a club! ^^ 

First of all it was a pretty awesome club! lol It had 3 rooms and they played a different genre of music in each one :)  The girls and I spent most of the time in the room where they played r'n'b (...and also hiphop, dancehall, reggae, soca, reggaeton etc.), it was beyond amazing! :D When you go to a club in a small town in the Czech Republic they usually play d'n'b or dance music and most people go there just to get drunk -_- For some reason Czech people don't seem to enjoy dancing that much...Well some do but it's not like you get to a club and see everybody dancing on the dancefloor ^^ Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I had a great night and I can't wait to go clubbing with Debbie and the girls again! :D 

MY LIFE AS AN AU-PAIR #9

April 3 - April 15,2011

I don't know how it happened but I haven't written anything for almost 2 weeks! o.O The boys don't have school until next Wednesday so I get very busy. Looking after 2 hyper kids and cleaning the house at the same time is quite overwhelming lol Well the last two weeks were good :) Nancy and I went shopping again so that was great :D I bought a shirt and a dress...Here are some professional mirror pictures lol

What else has happened? Hmm...I finally met some Czech people here!! lol I don't feel so lonely anymore *sigh* ^^ I met this old lady in Primark so we talked for a little while and then I met these two young guys in the underground :) 

One thing that really confused me was seeing a bottle of beer called Czech lol I mean why can't they just sell some typical Czech brands such as Svijany or Gambrinus? Why do they make their own beer and name it Czech?! lol I don't get it ))) I bet it tastes nothing like delicious Czech beer! :DD

Nancy and the boys went to Manchester for a few days so I stayed home with Ian...I thought I was going to be lazy and wake up at 1pm but I got a looong list of things I had to do so my plan didn't work out very well lol But like I always say - cleaning the whole house is a pretty good workout session so yaaay )))

Another thing that has changed is my "relationship status"...Unfortunately my boyfriend and I didn't have enough time for each other so we decided to break up...I didn't mind being in a long distance relationship...You don't have to see your partner everyday to be in love with them you know...But if you can't see each other AND you have no time to talk it can never work...So yeah...No more interracial love </3 *sigh*

MY LIFE AS AN AU-PAIR #8

April 1, 2011


Friday was alright...Before I walked Jack to school we made a few videos together ^^ I was trying to put some make up on my face but he didn't seem to care lol Then I did some chores and then I went to pick him up from school :) We actually stayed on the playground for like an hour because Jack wanted to watch his friends' football match...Things were ok until Alan said he wanted to go to the green to play football -___- Nancy went to a funeral and Ian was still at work so I had to make dinner plus these two guys came (..a plumber and an electrician) to fix something so I had to explain them what was wrong (...we didn't have hot water in the kitchen!) and where they could find the heater etc. Alan didn't care that I was busy and he kept saying he wanted to go to the green...When dinner was ready they didn't want to sit down and eat like normal people, they were running around the house looking for football shoes and clothes and every once in a while they came to kitchen and grabbed a few chips or a piece of fish -___- At one point I was reeeeaaally really mad but I'm a professional (lol) so I calmed myself down and took them to the green. Things were ok for a while but then Robbie (Jack's friend) got upset (don't ask me why...) and he wanted to go home so Alan was trying to make him stay...Jack and I kep playing football but then he tripped and fell...As usual he became very aggressive and rude...When he gets hurt or when someone makes fun of him he always acts that way...When I was trying to help him get up he kicked me (!!!!!) and told me to shut up (again...) T_T I know he never means it but it always makes me furious! lol I didn't feel like being strict and dramatic so I just went to sit on a bench lol Then Robbie and Alan got back and they started playing this "Daffodil game". It's like hide and seek but there's this huge flower-bed so they have to hide in the daffodils ))) Jack started playing with them and after a few minutes he came up to me and apologized! He hugged me and said he didn't mean it & was sorry o.O Awww lol He's always so cute when he knows I'm upset and wants to make me talk to him again lol Ohh well...I guess it wasn't a bad day after all :)




April 2, 2011

Saturday was a pretty good day! Debbie and I decided to go shopping :) I had to walk to a tram stop and then get to East Croydon...

I almost got lost on my way to the tram stop but somehow I managed to get to East Croydon and find Debbie lol Actually she found me! I was just standing there looking confused and lost xD We met on Interpals so this was the first time we saw each other in person ^_^ She's just as gorgeous in person as she is in her pictures! :D I thought we were going to stay in Croydon but Debbie had a different plan lol We got on a train and we went to central London! I don't know how but we got to Oxford Street which is the heart of London shopping ^^ 

We went to zillion shops and then we went to this huuuuge snobby shopping center called Selfridges! lol 

To be honest I didn't feel very comfortable around brands like Gucci or Dior...I was afraid to breathe or move lol I didn't want to break something and then pay for it for the rest of my life xD Debbie didn't seem so afraid lol She tried like every single perfume and she wanted to make me try on some shoes lol After that we went to Subway where I had the most delicious sandwich of my life! ))) Then we went to Primark which is probably the cheapest shop in the UK lol Finally a place where I felt comfortable xD I chose a few things I wanted to try on but this shop was sooo crowded and the queues were ridiculous so we decided to leave because we could barely breathe there ^^ Then we went to London bridge so I finally saw a few sights ^^

This is the actual London Bridge that Fergie sings about lol

Miss Debbilicious ^^

Tower Bridge! ^^


After that we went back to East Croydon :) We wanted to sit somewhere and have a cup of coffee or something but the only place that was still open was this weird looking pub -___- We decided to stay outside and sit on the stairs ^^ We talked for like an hour but then it started being too cold. We spent about 9 hours together and I have to say I had a great day! :D Unfortunately I had a terrible headache that day (probably because of being in shops where I could hardly breathe and also because of all the people - I hate big crowds -__-)...When I got home I went straight to bed! I didn't even get anything to eat lol I was dead... ^^
