It’s eight o’clock and the sun slowly slips back into bed. The temperature drops, my mood rises and I have another sip of coffee. 

Zagreb.
One of my own.

I’m so happy! I’ve been listening to her since I was 12. Couple of days ago I went through all her DVD’s and CD’s I bought when I was younger. I’m so glad she recovered from everything that’s happened to her and I’m gonna see her finally. She was such a sweetheart always. :)



tomorrow i will see them live (:

30 Seconds To Mars, Mars festival, 10.6.2011 Zagreb

It was the worst night of my life.

I got in to the front row right next to the stage and just when Jay started singing TIW, I had to leave cos my friend was feeling sick.. You can not imagine how sorry I am

Everybody who heard the story told me I shouldn’t have left, but honestly I wasn’t thinking at the moment cos I was really afraid that she would faint.

I would be pleased to die right now.

Open your legs/ Openyourlegs festival-visual identity

Visual identity for Croatia´s first Psychobilly festival. The typeface, Timon, was designed by me especially for the festival. Trying to avoid the typical psychobilly poster look that consists of a photo or illustration of a zombie/pin-up/hot rod/monster etc and badly used free typefaces from the web, I created a pattern that consists of typical psychobilly motifs and made the type as clear as possible.

“Kraljevi i Kravica” trololololol. Oh Jared. 

We traveled 12 hours to Zagreb and back but it was all worth it! I really didn’t want to go home…but eeh.
First, Zagreb is awesome. I love the people there, I was really surprised. I visit Croatia almost every summer but the people down there by the sea are not as pleasant as they were in Zagreb. Although I was only with my friend, it wasn’t boring at all! I’m seriously in love with Zagreb. 
Second, the concert! Friday, 10th June, 30 Seconds To Mars. It was really really really great! Too bad that we were too far from Jared and the rest of the bend. But it was so throng! I couldn’t breath! And I almost lost my friend in the crowd. My impressions? 
1. Jared Leto - One arrogant motherfucker. I’m truly disappointed in him. Why you think you are so great when 80% of your fans are 13 years old girls? Just… fuck off. 
2. Shannon Leto - Surprised! He is even sexier than he looks on pics, but he was also so cool and friendly. 
3. Tomo Milicevic - I love him! No, seriously! :) He was kind of shy, and didn’t want to talk so much, I loved his modesty!

I’ll never regret this concert nor the trip. I also took auto-grams from Shannon and Tomo.   



All these moments, they don’t mean anything. Nothing means anything if you aren’t here with me.

Wish I had been there :’(

The Catholic Church does not recognize races that rule and races that are enslaved. 

– Bl. Alojzije Stepinac







Blessed Alojzije Stepinac

Raised in the large CatholicCroatian family of Josip and Barbara (nee Penic) Stepinac. Graduated high school on 28 June1916. Soldier in the Austrianarmy in World War I, fighting at several points in Italy. Following the collapse of the front in September 1918, he was imprisoned, then released and demobilized in December 1918.

Studied briefly at the Faculty of Agriculture in Zagreb, but returned to work at home. He considered marriage, but realized a call to the priesthood, and began his studies in 1924. Studied at the Pontifical Germanicum-Hungaricum College, and earned doctorates in theology and philosophy at the Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome. Ordained26 October1930. Parish priest in the archdiocese of Zagreb. He worked especially in the poor neighbourhoods, and established the archdiocesan Caritas on 23 November1931.

Named Co-adjutorArchbishop of Zagreb on 29 May1934 by PopePius XI. Created twelve new parishes in the archdiocese, established close ties with lay associations and youthgroups, promoted the Catholic press, and helped protect the rights of the Church from the Yugoslavian state. Succeeded Archbishop Bauer on 7 December1937.

In 1936, the rise of Nazism prompted Stepinac to support a committee helping people fleeing the Reich. Instituted the Action for Assistance to Jewish Refugees in 1938. This period galvanized him a stout defender of human rights regardless of race, religion, nationality, ethnic group or social class, a fight he would continue the rest of his days. During the war, Stepinac helped hide countless people, mainly Jews, in monasteries and other Church property; some remained there throughout the war.

By 1945, Yugoslavia had replaced the oppression of the Nazis with the oppression of the Communists. Stepinac, wrote a biographer, “treated the new authorities…in accordance with the Gospel” but fought for the rights of the Church and the interests of Croatians. After publishing a letter denouncing the execution of priests by communist militants, Stepinac was arrested for the first time.

Following the Archbishop’s release, Yugoslavia’s new leader, Josip Broz Tito, tried to persuade him to have the Catholic Church in Croatia break from Rome. The Bishops of Yugoslavia issued a pastoral letter on 22 September1945 in which they referred to the promises made - and broken - by the Belgrade government to respect freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, and private ownership. The Bishops demanded freedom for the Catholic press, Catholic schools, religious instruction, Catholic associations, and “full freedom for the human person and his inviolable rights, full respect for Christian marriage and the restitution of all confiscated properties and institutions”. The state-run media launched an attack on the Church in general, and the archbishop by name.

Stepinac was tried in September 1946 for defending the unity of the Catholic Church in Croatia, and its unity with Rome. The Pope objected to this show trial, and members of the Jewish community in the United States protested, “…this great man has been accused of being a collaborator of the Nazis. We Jews deny this…. Alojzije Stepinac was one of the few men in Europe who raised his voice against the Nazi tyranny, precisely at the time when it was most dangerous to do so.” On 11 October1946, he was sentenced to 16 years of hard labour and the loss of his civil rights, such as they were.

On 5 December1951, ill health forced the authorities to move Stepinac from prison to house arrest in Krasic. There he performed priestly functions, received visitors, and write more than 5,000 letters, none of which show the slightest resentment for those who persecuted him.

Created cardinal on 12 January1953 by PopePius XII who called him “an example of apostolic zeal and Christian strength. [This is] to reward his extraordinary merits…and especially to honour and comfort our sons and daughters who resolutely confess their Catholic faith despite these difficult times.” This apparently was too much for the Yugoslav regime who promptly broke diplomatic relations with Rome. Stepinac, however, retained his position and maintained his stance against the bullying government until his death, which may have been a murder to eliminate an annoyance to that government.

People who believe they have been granted a particular grace, or a physical or spiritual healing through the intercession of the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac are asked to contact Dr Juraj Batelja, Postulator, Viale Giotto 27, Italia, 00153 ROMA , who is part of the group examining the cause of the Cardinal.







Prayers

Lord, Our God, You bestowed on your servant Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac the grace to believe in Jesus Christ and also to suffer for Him with brave apostolic fervor and love towards the Church. Grant us the same faith and perseverance in suffering for the Church. Raise your servant to the glory and honor of the saints so that he may be an example and intercede for us in life’s battle towards our goal of eternal salvation. Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
