CAMELOT FANTASIES

emma looks like you will blast past 20,000 views at Emma's Café tomorrow.


it is a cool milestone for us.

Yes it is and thanks to everyone who's brave enough to contribute.

Where's Anikh these days? Hope he's feeling much better lately. He's been suffering for a long time now. Not sure how he felt about the DC loss to Fog.

I am sure we will see Anikh soon. he likes this place.


he may just be very busy with work.

Hey guys! Sorry I have been way too busy. I am not following tennis that actively anymore like in the past, but of course I think about you guys and miss you.

I try to drop by more often but I can't promise you anything. You just have to take my word for it that I am doing important things and I will never forget you MTF has been devaluated so don't worry I am not posting there either. Everything was so good in the past, guess I am getting old...

You definitely should stop by more often. At least from time to time like I do - although it is quite hard to keep up with what's going on. I had so many posts to read when I came back after a few days.  MTF stopped being fun when the cool people stopped posting or were banned.

Hello everyone!
I'm back, at least for some time because I'm going on a trip again on April 25. (Booking my train ticket out of the country was the first thing I did as soon as I got back home and had time to open my laptop... haha)

I'm really way behind with everything. Actually I'm sitting at the office now (my old office, YAAAAAY, because the intern is gone) and I still feel like my mind is somewhere else.

The last tennis-related thing I heard was Nole beating Rafa in Miami which is pretty recent news, actually.

Anyway, I did quite some travelling in the past few weeks. I was in Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia and the Netherlands. I met so many great people, did some soul-searching, finally had the talk with the guy I was obsessing about (we are still unsure about what we want from each other but thanks to some people I met along the way I have finally decided to go with the flow now...), saw many new places, re-visted old ones, even made some business contacts. I have also started getting back in shape again but REALLY back in shape. I have totally changed my eating habits. Not that I really have to lose some pounds but I would somehow be happy to have my six-pack back which I haven't seen in 10 years or so. Hahaha.

Anyway, I hope everyone is fine. I will stop by more often in the next few works especially from work. I don't want to spend too much time in front of the computer anymore at home and posting from my phone is really giving me a hard time.

Hola Nikki! Good to see you back, girl even though I know you are itching to go back out there again. And glad you got your old office back.

Sounds like you had a wonderful time traveling so many places and meeting all the new people. I am very happy for you! As to the guy, I take it only time will tell. Rather than ending it abruptly when you two still have feelings for each other or even starting it without sorting out some of the long term plans, it's probably best to leave it on time to take care of things. I am sure there's an answer that lies in the future. 

As to your eating habit, isn't it hard to maintain it when you travel? I've always found it very hard. I prefer home cooked meal since I make those and I can keep track of what I am eating. And also, keeping the workout routine on the same level is pretty convenient when I am not traveling. So anyway, what is your new eating habit? Btw, I don't like six-pack on women! lol but I do love it on men.

Yes, we are fine and dandy, thanks. Note sure about the Nadal fans here though. As a Murray fan, I have learned to deal with losses quite easily than, say, Fedal fans. haha

We are talking like very good friends now. Sometimes he starts with the romantic stuff but it is best for me to ignore it. I know that he isn't suggesting a relationship or anything for that matter, it just shows that he still thinks a lot about the moments we shared. If he really wanted to be with me, he would show more invest and obviously he doesn't. I won't let it make me sad anymore though.

It is hard to maintain my eating habit while I'm travelling. My problem is that I always like having a few chocolate bars in my bag while I'm travelling just in case I need some energy. Unfortunately that's way too tempting and sometimes I end up eating them all although I'm not even hungry. I think next time I should pack a banana or other fruit (no apples because I'm allergic to them unless they are in pies, etc.). Apart from that,  I tend to eat less while I'm travelling because I'm too busy to think about food... I also don't like to go to restaurants by myself and during the last trip I was alone during the day (the people I was hanging out with had to work), I sometimes didn't eat at all during the day and was just waiting for dinner. Hahaha. Actually I shouldn't have put on weight at all during the past month but my chocolate-y snacks ended up on my hips and my belly anyway.

Anyway, at the moment I'm just eating more fruit, veggies and cereals. When I feel like eating something sweet, I drink a Turkish apple tea. I also cut down on the store-bought sandwiches and prepare myself something yummy at home no matter how long it takes and no matter how busy my day was.

I like six-packs on women unless their entire body is manly. Then it is simply too much. Fortunately my body won't get too manly because I mainly focus on the butt, abs, legs work-out.

Thanks. It is good to be back for a while although I hate being at home during spring. My hay fever is bothering me a lot. Abroad I never have problems so I assume the plants which produce the pollen I'm allergic to only seem to grow in this climate.

Let's see if I can keep up the travels. As soon as I find a new job, I won't have that much time anymore. 

I have pollen allergies too so I stay inside during Spring and it does not make me happy. I need to be in a place where the weather is not too extreme. When I was in Savannah, Georgia I never once fell sick but here in Toronto, I keep falling sick during winter. So in the long term I think I'd like to live either in Vancouver (permanently) or Florida (maybe just the winter time - 3 months tops - since Toronto is just heavenly during the summer). But it's also possible my immune system is down so it can't fight the cold and flu germs as much anymore, so I need to take care of that as well. I may need to change my eating habit too and do something different.

Maybe you should plan your trip accordingly so that you can avoid the pollen season entirely. It hasn't started here though even the Spring is officially here but I think we are almost there.

After one horrible night (had my first asthma attack in more than 6 years), I finally seem to have my allergy under control. Sometimes I still have trouble breathing but fortunately the constant sneezing is gone.

I should really plan my holidays accordingly but the problem is that the pollen season always seems to start earlier than expected. Blame global warming.

Ah, need for weed? I had a really weird experience in Ljubljana related to weed. First of all, I would never do drugs, not even smoke pot because I'm too afraid of the side effects. Actually I'm so afraid of side effects that I don't even take prescribed medication unless I feel really bad.

The hostel owner in Ljubljana asked me to go out with him the night I was staying there. The first time he asked, I misunderstood him (he jokingly said that he was actually not allowed to leave the reception during his opening hours although he really wanted to join me for a walk and show me the city; I thought he really meant it so I went by myself) and the second time he wanted to invite me to have a coffee with him but I immediately had to charge my phone so I said no. The third time I agreed on having dinner with him. He showed me Ljubljana by night and took me to a Mexican restaurant. Later on he said that after the bad day he had had, he baaaaaaaadly wanted to smoke a joint. So we went to a neighborhood near an old warehouse which looked rather creepy at night. There was a bar playing psychedelic music and the young people were smoking all kind of funny things. He asked several people to sell him pot but no one had something to share with him because they were afraid that he was a cop or something. Secretly I was hoping that he wouldn't find anything because he was insisting on me smoking with him no matter how often I told him that I was against drugs, etc. In the end he got something anyway. We went to his place to smoke. I was still refusing to smoke with him so he smoked by himself and I was sitting next to him waiting for some dangerous side effects, holding on to my phone to dial the emergency number and lecturing him over and over again that he shouldn't do something like that to his body. I was completely frightened, close to tears, etc.

It was a rather weird night. I'm happy nothing bad happened but still... Hahaha.

The creepy neighborhood Metelkova:

That was a very brave and yet, quite a foolish thing to do, Nikki. You are getting lucky each time but one time you may need to pay the price. As a good friend, I must tell you not to venture out like that with total strangers. You have no idea the things I've watched and the many times I've seen people getting into really serious trouble. A lot of them didn't even survive in the end. You need to be smarter than this. I needed to tell you this as a good friend so don't take this the wrong way. You can love people without any condition, without knowing them at all, yes, but you can never trust them.

And yes, I hate drugs too. They do far more harm than any good. Unless it's medically used for extreme cases I am against it. Although I'd like to drink Ayahuasca at some point but that's not a true drug as it's a combination of different plants and they brew it to make it a soup like thingy. I hear the experience is quite something. Also, I don't think it has any side affects. In any case, it will be a conscious decision as I'd like to think I am quite mature about things.

Oh and that neighborhood does look quite creepy. Can't believe you went there completely on your own with a total stranger!

Sometimes I trust strangers way too much. The only good thing this time was that I went out with the owner of the hostel where me and 2 of my friends were staying. That means if I hadn't returned, they would have asked him because they knew he was spending the night with me. Hahaha. Oh well, I wouldn't have expected to find such a creepy place in the middle of such a beautiful city. Thinking about it now, it was quite beautiful. After getting there from 3 weeks in Sarajevo/ Bosnia, I didn't find Ljubljana that beautiful. It was too "European" for my liking.  Now I really find it beautiful in my pics especially when I think of how beautiful the weather was that day. I spent the afternoon sitting by the river eating sushi. Hahaha.

Okay, gotta go now. See you guys later. I see Nikki is here too but work is calling.

I try to put our name on these things so people don't steal them and take credit for it.

also it helps spread the good name of Camelot around.

everybody is free to take them and save them for their own use but we must get the credit for it.

this is a surprise for Nikki.

I made 2 versions of her name. I think she will like this:

herc darling, I found this gem for you. I hope you enjoy watching it.
