Week Three

Describe one of your grandparents

This time i will try to describe one of my grandparent, what he accomplished in life and my wish to be like him. Also i have the same name like my grandfather which i get from fathers best man.

My grandfather is also my idol because of many reason. He is very perspicacious, hard worker, always reasonable, and someone on who you can trust and you can believe, he will be always there to support and help you. He is right now 77 years old, but he still have cheerful spirit and sense of humor.

I would like even to mention his cheeks, which they are all up. From laughter his wrinkles going on up, not on down as usually. When i was a kid, and when i sleep bad or i have bad dream, i always come to his bed, he always know how to calm me down and to say me some story to make me easier to sleep.

He achieved a lot of thing in his life. For me he is even greater man, especially when i know the story that he and my grandmother started from zero and make everything for normal life. He had many problem in life when they was younger, but they together pass all barriers and they was successful on the end.

Still now, when he is older, he can easily work for two person, yep, for two, his spirit is still very young. He is as well all the time helping everyone. Since that he living in village and he have farm, who ever come to his home, he will first ask if you are hungry or thirsty and he will offer you first to try Serbian national drink "Rakija" and after that you have to eat homemade and organic food, even if you are not hungry. Rakija is something like plum Brandy but very strong.

I really like my grandfather because he have strong personality and i would like to be like him.

Week Two

Describe an important social event that you took part in

One more story about my favorite football club Red Star. This was on the game for qualification for European League Champions, when my club played with Italian famous football club Milan, and i went with my best friend. But this time i didn't buy tickets early like before, so when i went to box office they closed, because no tickets any more was available to purchase. I was so mad. But my friend who come with me tell me we can try to buy on street. Its probably somebody who have an extra one.

And on the end i find it for very much more expensive price then it was on box office. Something like 4x more expensive. But i didn't care for price, for me the most important thing was to attend on that game.This time i bough game ticket for right side of stadium. It was so important game, it was rematch, since that my team lose first game in Italian city Milano 1 against 0. I was hopping that we my club can catch up. 

Game starts great, my team was good and start to attack from begin. Atmosphere on stadium was incredible. This thing can be seen maybe one time in life. Stadium who have chairs for 55.000 people was so crowded and have so much people there, that you feel there is more than 70.000 people. And i was on the part of stadium where was Red Star fans, popularly called "Delije". Situation was that i 2 people stand on 1 chair. But it was worth to come and to see this even. Even because on the end it wasn't pass so good for my club. Whole stadium was covered with smoke from the torch. And everybody singing songs to support players on field.

As i said, game start good for our team, but unfortunately for my team Milan score so early. On the field you can see the different in class even if my team played with hart. Milan was so strong for my team they scored one more time, and there was no chance any more for my team to pass to Champions League after 20 years. In the final moments of the game, our player Djokic score for us to alleviate defeat. Final result on the end was 2-1 for Milan. 

So sorry Red Star, next time more luck...

Week One

Terrifying experience

My terrifying experience when i were a young is is the day when i go first time to football game where why favorite football club playing. My football club is Red Star from my country, Serbia. That nice day, my favorite club playing with football club Zemun in Serbian Championship Prva Liga. 

Why is this was important for me? My love for this club come from my father who is also big fan of Red Star. When i was very young he used to speak me about his adventures on football games. So my younger brother and me decide one time to go together.

We prepare everything scarfs, football jersey (in US is soccer jersey), we buy tickets day before (we didn't want to wait in long line on game day), etc. So what comes wrong when everything was fine?

My brother and me buy tickets for part of stadium where was supporters and fans from football club Zemun, not from my favorite one Red Star. Since that fans in my country is totally different than in US, and in my country they can be very violent if you where shirt, scarf or something else from other football club not from their favorite one.

When i realize what i do and where i am, omg that was so terrifying. It was good thing that i bring regular jacket with me, just in case if would me cold. Whole game i wearing jacket closed up to the neck. It was so hot, and i sweating all game. All the time one of my eye was watching game while the other eye watch Zemun's fans. I was so scare that they will see some part of my under shirt and that they will figure out that i not support their club. The worst thing was when my club score goal for victory from penalty kick, scorer was Nemanja Vidic, one of the best defender player in world, i can't even celebrate. I just continue to seating like nothing happen and watch Zemun's Fans how they was sad.

Since then, i learned to read before any purchase i make.
