:: Phillivara news ...
25.09.2002
So who's that funny person in my guestbook who knows where Sara is and just won't tell ..
:: By the way, have finally started my MSc Computer Science at UCL...
12.09.2002
Hmm, it's been a long time, yup lots of things have happened, too many to name them all. Work in Munich, graduation, Vienna, just lots to tell ...
:: Coming back to London on the Sep.20., yeah ...
20.05.2002
Exams start tomorrow ... not really stressed, just hanging in an emotional limbo, which could be confused with apathy, but it isn't. Does that make any sense?
:: Here's another time waster. Just toss your arrow. One gets really competitive if one plays it for a while; stay away if you have better things to do. Click once to start running and click and hold to adjust the angle ... have fun!
14.05.2002
Nothing fantastically new to tell, except that I'm studying like crazy, exams start next week and I am close to insanity. But then again, that's nothing new ... ;o)
:: In my library induced boredom I have started to play this absolutely addictive helicopter gameon the net. I've also added it to my
links page.
:: Other than that, NOTHING, please everyone, keep your fingers crossed for me ...
23.03.2002
After having received the green light from Mavourneen, I will add a
link to a webpage with the photos of her
wedding.
:: Other than that? My Easter vacation has started and I've decided to spend th majority of it in the library (how exciting!). Yep, I should prepare for my exams, plus it saves me loads of money that I can spend on other things (i.e. shopping!). It's not that bad though because I am going to Cornwall for a weekend with my flatmate, which should be fun ...
13.03.2002
Ok, ok, ok, I admit it! I've been a bit lazy with the updating of this page. Let's see, where should I start ...
:: BIG NEWS: the internet is marvelous! I've found an old friend of mine! While surfing the net and typing random names into
google I typed in the name of a girl I once knew very well (slight understatement). And guess what? I came across an email address that could be hers, emailed her and it turns out it is her! Couldn't believe it, especially since I've been trying to find out about her from friends in ages! Anyways, interesting stuff you find there ... (also, I found out that my dad has a Phd, that neither I nor he knew about, interesting isn't it?)
:: Other than that, exams coming up soon, actually, very soon ... uargh!
19.01.2002
Aaaaarghhhh, I'll NEVER touch alcohol again! Celebrated my birthday with loads of people yesterday at the Ruby Lounge, which was quite good fun. This morning though, I had to have other people tell me about the last hour before I went home, because that seems to have escaped my memory completely.
:: Hmmm, judging form what heard I supposedly did, it's probably better that I don't remember that clearly ;o)
06.01.2002
Hooray! I am back in London! It was a strange vacation this year, I guess times change and going home just isn't the same as it was two years ago. Hmmmmm ... All in all, happy to be back, live my own little, independent student life ...
12.12.2001
Tadah!!! I have successfully passed my light blue belt grading. I was kneed in the face, kicked in the solar plexus (chest) and got a bit bruised here and there, but I am alive and kickin'!!!
:: Finally, this Saturday I am going home for christmas, still have a paper to write and a presentation to do, but without sleep and loads of coffee that should all be well and fine ...
:: Still don't know what I want to do with my life though. Any suggestions?
12.11.2001
Big, bad and bruised I am back from the Jitsu nationals in Birmingham! Unfortunately I didn't make it into the finals, but Mary Ann from ULU Jitsu club kept up our honor in winning Gold!! Congratulations, girl! I'll train hard and maybe next time ...
:: If you're interested in a martial art, find out more about Jiu Jitsu and the style we practive here in England here on the
London region Jitsu homepage . I should be setting up a little section on my site dedicated just to Jitsu soon ...
09.11.2001
Wow, it's been a month again that I've updated ... either nothing to write or just too much. I think I'll opt for the latter. And besides, there are certain things that don't need to go on the net anyways ...
:: Loads of work for uni to do (web building is a welcome distraction), blah, blah, blah, so I am trying hard, but it doesn't stop me from going to the Jitsu nationals in Birmingham this weekend, yey! Should be fun, lotsa bruises (my flatmates will have icepacks ready on Sunday), lotsa Jitsu and a whole lot of drinking potential to be proven to other Jitsu clubs :o)
:: Fun things to do when you're bored, check out TheSpark.com, a fun site where youn can find out interesting stuff about yourself, i.e. your personality, how "gay" you are (I am ??% gay!) and so on, let me know if you do any of the tests, some scores are recorded so your friends can check them out later ...
:: Apart from that, Phillivara is a stressed, but happy man! Hasta la victoria siempre!
09.10.2001
I know, I know, I know, I haven't been good at updating fo a while (does anyone actually care?). So here we go:
:: I am back in London, yippie!!! I don't quite know why, but for some reason I am really happy to be back. Just kind of feels good. You know, the old people, my uni, Jitsu, everything!
As it is my last year, I have to work hard, so social life should be restricted to the minimum, but as long as there is time for Jitsu ...
07.09.2001
A little update:
:: I've added a little Philli Extreme section. Some fun pics of me
bungee jumping ...
:: Also, the party section from the ADF party has been updated and
enlarged by some of my own photos. Enjoy!
05.09.2001
Just a quick update,
I've added little age section. It's just a script that
calculates your exact age ... I just found it kind of funny.
03.09.2001
ONE MORE WEEK TO GO!!!
Damn, I can't wait for vacation. This Saturday I am off to Munich, then asap Prague
and then ...
:: Other than that, the Germans lost sooooo badly. I can just see the big grin
on all of my British friends' faces ...
:: I should be putting more pics from the ADF party up. PLUS: Also pics of Phillivara
bungee jumping, wicked ...
30.08.2001
... I am sooo fit ...
lately I have been getting up at 6 am to go swimming with Thorsten. I mean it's a real
bitch hauling yourself out of bed at this ungodly time, when even the sun is not up.
But seeing the sunrise at 6:30 in the morning from an outside pool is amazing. Plus, you have
this amazing feeling of being fit after having swum 1.2 km.
:: I've added some animal pics. Admittedly, pics of
our cat and Luka, our Cocker Spaniel, are still missing, but I'll put 'em up asap.
29.08.2001
Oohps, sorry, almost
forgot: the pics from last weekend's party are up in my new
party section. Enjoy ...
27.08.2001
I am back after a wild
weekend partying with the people from work (Ab der Fisch). We went for dinner and to this amazing
club called "Mudia Art" on Saturday (Essen, Frohnhauser Str. 75), all inclusive. Never seen anything like that.
The club was a mix of
count Draculas castle and a James Bond movie ball. You dance in old factory halls, on
production lines and between tanks (!). Mainly lit with candles, torches and bonfires, with naked
or halfnaked men and women dancing on stages, swings etc ... wild, wild, wild.
:: I should be putting up photos of that night some time soon ...
:: Two more weeks and I am off for vacation!!! Can't wait ...
23.08.2001
I added a new little
links section,
where you can find my friends' sites and other stuff.
:: If you want your link added just send it over ...
22.08.2001
Again, FINALLY, the page is up and running.
After a couple of days of redesigning and refreshing my HTML skills, I am back online with a new look
and new pics.
:: just an update, I am single again, for about a week by now, after a bit more than a year, ouch ...
:: then again, gotta look ahead, which I am doing ... by going to Prague asap, probably the weekend
after 8. September. I'll be there for about two weeks or so.
:: I think I'll miss Duesseldorf, especially working at "Ab der Fisch" (a Cafe/Bar/Restaurant). Not only great people, but also great food ... :o)
14.08.2001
...well, well, well, it's been a long time as you can see. Internet in Paris was a complicated thing ...
:: sad, but true ... the singles has a new member again. Yep, my girlfriend broke up with me last night. We were together for a little over a year. My longest and best relationship so far. I'll miss her ...
:o(
21.10.2000
uhm, oophs, I guess it's been quite some time since I've updated this bit ... sorry
:: I am in Paris at the moment, studying at Science Po. Or rather, should be studying ...
so this is one of the most romantic cities in the world, but my girlfriend is about a thousand km's away ... sniff ...
:: still nobody heard from Sara?
22.6.2000
ALRIGHT, YEAH! I finally passed my purple belt grading (with honors I would like to add).
Luckily it was not as hellish as last time and I did not get hit in the jaw or anywhere
else, knocking on wood there.
:: I am coming home to Praha this coming Sunday (25.6.) at 1700, Czech time, if anyone cares.
And I cannot wait to party for a week or so until dull work life resumes ... :o(
... but anyways, I am looking forward to seeing ya' all!
:: Sara! What the hell are you doing in Ca*$%?:@^, you know where I mean ...??? I want to
see you in Praha, right this moment ... that's an order, uhm, wish, I mean!
16.6.2000
Alrighty!!! My exams are finally over, life is more or less beautiful. None of internships
have worked out so far, I guess I am loser baby, so why don't want you kill me.
I'll be buggering off to the continent asap and hopefully have a couple of
days off in Praha, then I'll see.
:: I am disappointed! Nobody has bothered to check out the pragueposse egroup (www.egoups.com/groups/pragueposse)
:: Cross your fingers everyone, I am doing my purple belt grading on Sunday. I got
an upper cut in my jaw last Wednesday, was not fun! :o(
28.5.2000
Maybe life isn't that bad after all,
though still two exams to go and no news about my pending
internships.
:: Anybody heard from Sara Brandejs by any chance?
:: And Nep, when are you finally going to email me?
23.5.2000
I hate exams!!!!!!!! But hey there's
worse things to happen in your life, like a nonexistent sex
life . . . oohps ... :o(
:: Maybe I'll be in Berlin this summer, if everything works out
... so fingers crossed!
9.5.2000
Just had my parents over in London for
the weekend; never had sooo much good food in such a short
time! :o)
:: Revision is getting me frustrated, but hey things will work
out one way or another ...
:: I was wondering: anybody heard what Jean Marie (aka Pepina)
or Mavourneen are up to? If so, please let me know!
:: Speaking of lost friends: a big shout out to George, who got
in touch with me upon seeing his photo on this page. Isn't
that cool?
7.4.2000
Vacation has started, revision is boring
the hell out of me ... However, I have started juggling four
balls (more or less), plus some basic ball passing. Good fun!
::oohps, not too many people in the guest book yet ...:o(
25.3.2000
Yeah! I just
passed my green belt grading in Jiu Jitsu. It was hell, but
hey I survived!!! Cheers to Paula for passing her old green
belt to me and Fleur: wear mine with pride!
24.3.2000
At last! The
page is done and running . . .

:: IMPORTANT MESSAGE ...
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day. I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.
So....here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, because:
"Tag! You're it."
If you have any suggestions or feel like contacting me, please do not hesitate to email me.
