raw fresh fruit
always appealed to me through it's sweet aroma and yummy taste, and it was always my most favorite food, therefore it was not difficult to find the way to my fruitarian lifestyle and stay faithful to it.
since the time i started living on raw fresh fruit, it's pleasant scents, colours and tastes have grown even closer to my heart, and i've fallen in love with fruit more than ever. and just like every true love never dies, but on the contrary lives and grows, so do fruit trees, and like true love, they are very giving. - full of lovely aromatic tasty gifts of amazing and adorable colours and shapes. every fruit is unique and original and beautifully decorates my place.
of all the foods known to man, raw fresh fruit is the easiest and fastest to digest and therefore does not put a strain on the digestive system such as other plants, fats, meats, eggs, milk and everything else that most humans live on, that is not fruit.
raw fresh fruit contains a lot of fruit juice, and supplies our body with all it's required liquid, and that's why a true fruitarian does not experience thirst and therefore there is no need to supply additional liquid via water from tap, well, spring or as has been in fashion for some years now, from plastic and rarely glass bottles.
raw fresh fruit is rich with all necessary nutrition, which guarantees ones optimal health
raw fresh fruit is the natural food for humans
raw fresh fruit has a lot of enemies, people who are missing out on wellness and the joy of life.
with raw fresh fruit life is beautiful.
grapes, rambutan and mango

since mango
began pointing out all my old habits of incorrect english grammar, i find it more difficult to write in english. i am very glad that he is teaching me, but i've built a little wall, preventing me from writing more often, which i would really like to be doing, so i am facing some english writing dilemmas. and there is another obstacle in the way of my english writing. each time i write an engish text for my blog, i would like to post it immediately, but that's just not possible, i do not feel comfortable posting it with my mistakes, and i have to wait for mango, when it suits him, so's he can correct my grammar mistakes. we do it always together, so i can see what i am doing wrong, and it is a useful part of my learning. the process of my learning is a bit slow, because my incorrect english grammar is very old and very engraved in my brain. so these are the reasons why i do not write much any more. i am hoping to work on it and tear those walls down and write more often.
the truth is, the time is near, when i am not going to have much time for writing. i am leaving on the end of this month, for some time to see my family and friends and will be really busy with little time for any pc stuff. i would use it only for keeping in touch with mango.
me and mango, we are enjoying a lot of yummy fruits, enjoying sharing our fruitarian lifestyle. we are eating mostly red paw paw, lots of akee - our other very favorite fruit on the top of the list of our favorites right next to the magical durian. fresh durian yum, yum, yum. passion fruit, we ate heaps of white nectarines, but their season is almost over and they are not so tasty any more. we are also eating a lot of a very sweet grapes, very sweet and creamy cucumbers, yummy tomatoes and avocados. we are eating a bit less of rambutans, lychees, jackfruit, mangosteens..
we are drinking lots of oranges, cucumbers at times with a dash of tomato, grapes, apple and orange, pineapple, rockmelons and sometimes watermelon, but i drink more than mango, he is not so keen on them, and i also drink watermelon rind all by myself.
i am sure i forgot some kinds of fruit we are eating, drinking, but i do not want to sit here and think about it, i just want to keep on writing.
the garden is very happy, we are getting a fair bit of rain with yummy sunny breaks, and we are happy too, watching all our plants growing slowly everyday. the first cucumbers are going to be ready for harvest very soon. today we were admiring tiny babies of akee trees. lots of paw paws coming out as well, and some small paw paw trees transplanted from fruitopia that have picked up and growing very quickly and they are healthy. we also planted and are watching tomatoes grow. soon after we moved into this house, i got some nice big aloe given to me and three of them are ready to flower soon, and some of them are having babies. our garden gives us a lot of beauty, excitement and fun.
we enjoy swimming in the nearby barron river. i love rivers, i spent so many years by the coast, that i forgot about how much they used to mean to me. i am grateful to have them back in my life.
me and mango we live happy, peaceful fruitful fruity life
life is beautiful
local durians and other yummy fruit in our house
i love to arrange our fruit and take pictures.
akee, yummy yum

cyber world
the cyber world is growing in popularity as time goes by..
it took me 5 years to make a decision to join it. it was not easy to make up my mind, i do not like a plastic artificial world, i do not like to look into the screen, and all in all i prefer "real" life experiences. i prefer to read words printed on paper than on a pc screen, i prefer to meet people outside of the internet, and talk to them face to face, rather than on the internet. it is true that i've made some cyber friends, and i met mango, my fruitarian and very sweet partner thanks to giving in and getting the pc in the year two thousand. so it surely was worthwhile to join in. to make that decision in the end was influenced by my recycling awareness. i loved the idea, that i could save a lot and lot of paper. and the time searching for information, or buying certain goods like travelling tickets and so on.. saving time, money and paper thanks to email, to name just a few advantages of a pc and the internet.
well, i have been a part of cyber space for a while now, and i noticed that to my amazement a lot of people from the raw food world are very busy out there, they have many websites, visiting and contributing to a lot of forums and so on. i would have thought that raw food was also about a healthy lifestyle, and so i wonder how some of those cyber raw busy bees manage to find the spare time for it. i've never thought it could be healthy to sit for hours by the pc and i try to use it as little as possible. when i overdo it, i always take a few days off, to compensate. i also very rarely spend time on the pc throughout the day, i use it mainly at night time, when mango is sleeping.
i write my two fruitarian blog (czech and english), and one photo blog (czech-english), i visit (at times with long breaks) and contribute the only one raw food forum vitarian.cz , i keep occasionally in touch with a few, some real, some cyber friends via email. i write occasional notes from my future book, i transfer my pictures from camera to the pc, and post some of them on my blog, i read very few blog, and at times i do some info research. that is all i do on my pc, and i feel like that is heaps and i am making sure i wont extend its use. i love to have free time to do other things as well.
i would not like to end up spending most of my precious time sitting by the pc, writing stories about my healthy lifestyle.

yes, we got a house
this entry was written on the 18th of february 2010
yes, it all happened at once, just like a miracle, one could almost say that the house dropped on us straight from the heavens.
it all began about two months ago, when i came to the conclusion, that it was not going to be such an easy task to find any affordable accommodation. renting prices have risen up a lot in the last year, and house-sitting offers were scarce and not suitable for us, so i decided, and mango agreed, that we should apply with government public housing. shortly after, we took that action, and we filled up the required application, sent it off and soon after we received more forms to fill in, by a doctor and some by other organisations, and some more by us, and when it was all done we sent it off.
about two weeks ago, we rang the housing department and we were told that everything was ok, we had been placed on top of a priority waiting list and all we had to do was to wait. we also got advise from another organisation to ring housing on a regular basis, so we rang one week later, on tuesday, again, and to our big surprise we were told, that our application had not yet been processed, because they were still waiting for us to fill up and send back to them the additional forms. so we rang again to confirm that information, and when we got the same answer, we were off to the court house, from where all forms had originally been faxed and also sent by post, as they were able to show by evidence in their "sending off documents" book. so one man/clerk rang the housing and he was also told, that nothing had arrived in their hands, and that nothing could be done about it, and that we had to fill up and send the required papers once more. surely we were not very pleased about it, but we took action straight away, we got new forms from the court house and visited the doctor again and we also did our work filling up some forms and thankfully we had some copies of a few letters and so it was easier done the second time and we were faxing all the papers off via the court house again, already on the thursday. yes, this time we made copies of all the documents. after that mango got an idea to visit some other organisation, where we might be able to get some more information about our accommodation, they did not give us much hope, but they navigated us to another place to inquire. i lost enthusiasm to visit another place, but mango did not give up so easily, and he went there, while i was waiting in the car. and in that office, mango spoke to some nice man, and he knew about some place where they could possibly help us, and he even rang out there and made an appointment to see someone there in half an hour. so we went there and i also joined mango this time, and we ended up talking to a very nice lady, explained her our situation including the lost and just recently sent off again papers, and she got on the phone and computer, and then she gave us some papers to sign, and then she told us, that the recently faxed papers had gotten lost again, but we gave her with a smile the copies, and the lady faxed them again to the man at housing while she was with him on the phone, waiting for him to confirm that the papers had arrived, and when he did, very soon after she told us that she had an old two bedroom house for us, she gave us the keys and sent us to look at it, to see if it suited us.
the house is in mareeba, not far from her office, so thanks to our car we were there in a few minutes, and even though it was not the place of our dreams, we made the decision to move in, for the time till we get a better one, or possibly already the home we are dreaming of. the house is near by the river that we at times visit and swim in. it has a roomy veranda with a nice wooden floor, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a big bathtub in the bathroom, and in the backyard under a roof joined to the house is the laundry, with a door to the big enough backyard with one big mango tree and one big tamarind tree, to give us some shady area as well. the toilet is separated, a few stairs down from kitchen. there is also a car port. so we made a decision to move in very quickly and easily and soon we were back talking to the nice lady, we told her that we would be happy to move in, despite that it was not fully suited to our needs and she said that this would be only temporary and will would eventually be offered something more suitable when it became available. so we went through all the paper work regarding moving into the house and we were told that we could move in on the following thursday, oh, only in one week, to our big surprise, we never thought we would be moving out from fruitopia to a new home so fast. we were very happy that our accommodation situation had been sorted out at least for some time.
despite that i had had peace of mind, most of the time, regarding our future accommodation, and i had believed that it all would be sorted out when the time was right, i was loosing faith, and would worry at times about it all, and such worry came to me just the night before we got the house. usually i can shake off my worries very easily, but not this time, and after a while, i decided that i would try to talk to god via a drawn ring with the alphabet, and a pendulum ring on a cotton string. this method was shown to me by one lovely girl, during my last czech republic visit, she is a friend of my mum, and my mum has been reading tarot cards for her for a few years now. i've met this girl a few times previously, and i knew she was talking to god this way, and on my last visit i asked her, if she would ask god, if mango is going to get his australian permanent visa. she did and god told us, that mango would get his visa and also we would get all we wished for. the truth is i believed that, but at times i just lost my faith. just as happened concerning our moving out from fruitopia. so i decided to try and ask god by this method myself. the truth is i had been trying to communicate with god this way a few times, but never with success and i usually gave up soon after trying, but not that night at fruitopia. i was trying for over one hour, and i did remember that the girl told me, that she also had to keep trying again and again, before she was able to succeed, so i kept trying, i just needed that night some answer and i was a bit more desperate than usual. after about two hours asking several questions about our next home, i felt suddenly very lonely and at a loss, and after a little break i said to god: ' oh, my god i feel so lost and worried, and i do not want any more answers regarding our accommodation, right now, i am feeling so lonely in this world, and you are so wise, and i just would like to talk with you a bit." and very soon the ring began moving in a different way to previously, and i knew, that was it, that it was working, and that god was talking to me and he said: "love, love, love prevails." those words of wisdom filled me with joy and peace of mind. i believed everything was going to be ok, my faith was back with me. i was amazed by gods wisdom. god knows me, and knows that love is for me the most important and of biggest value in my life and that love is directing my thoughts and my life journey, and the feeling of being lost, lonely and worried was gone, and i strongly sensed gods existence and the presence of gods love. i felt like a child, i turned off the light, and i was on my way to sleep, strengthened in my faith with a smile on my face, and before i fell asleep i didn't forget to say thankyou my god.
and i also said my joyful thanks to god, the next day, after the lovely lady offered us the house, our new home, - before i even saw the house i believed that it was going to be our next temporary home.

Everything's as it's supposed to be.
and time flies
on monday 1. 2. 2010 me and mango enjoyed a beautiful, peaceful and nicely lazy day at fruitopia
on tuesday, we went into malanda, because the man, who offered us, that we could move in and housesit his home, did not contact us again, but we did not give up, and because we knew, as he previously told us, that he is usually at home on tuesdays, despite of having no arrangements with him, we decided to travel over there anyway, so we could once and for all find out where we stand. and we were lucky, the man was at home, and as soon as we arrived at his house, he came out, and without saying hello, or apologising that he as promised did not contact us, told us, without a smile on his face, that he had changed his mind and he was going to rent his house for handsome dollars. we did not mind so much, the most important to us was, that we finally knew how things were, we said good bye with a smile and we drove back toward our home.
we stopped on our way in malanda's second hand shop, and we bought very cheap and nice cotton curtains, they are colourful with a print of giraffes and coconut trees. i may not use them for the windows as i would like to make something else from them. we previously visited the same shop a few times, and we always got some bedding made from top quality cotton and for a very good price. we are saving a lot of money that way, because the cotton of such quality is available only in the most expensive shops.
then we drove for a few minutes and we visited the river and her amazing waterfalls, where we had our traditional swim. after the abundant rains, the water in the river had risen up, and the waterfalls increased in their volume as well, gashing wildly over the big boulders, and the rivers current was much stronger, so we had some nice exercise, swimming against it toward the waterfalls, and on the way back from them, we were carried easily by the strong current. we spent the most of our time by the river alone, and only a few times someone came down to have their quick lunch. me and mango, we were relaxing in the hot sun and then we enjoyed a meal of red pawpaws followed by passion fruit, and then we jumped into the river. i took some great pictures, so did mango, and he also made some video. after our refreshing swim, we sat on the foot-bridge over the river, back to the waterfalls and we were watching the river’s flow along the shores of luscious tropical rainforest. we were throwing twigs and leaves into the water, watching their floating journey. soon after we said good bye to the river and to her waterfalls, and after about 20km of drive we stopped in atherton.
in atherton we visited the supermarket and we complained about the poor quality of frozen durians, because they are sold already a few days thawed, and that is why they are not fresh and that is why they are not very tasty. they nicely apologised and gave us one big durian for free. well, naturally, it was again not a very yummy one, and me and mango decided that we won't buy any more frozen durian from thailand at atherton's supermarket woolworths. the lady from the fresh produce who dealt with our durian cry, told us, to our disbelieve, that durians arrive in the shop already unfrozen, we were very surprised to hear that, because we never come across such durian treatment. when we asked why that was so, that durians get in the shop unfrozen, we didn't get a clear answer, the lady obviously wasn't a durian lover and i think she didn't fully understand what our problem was.
we got back in the car and we continued our journey toward mareeba, and we stopped on the way at the fruit stalls by the road, where there is no one selling the fruit, but a money box is present, over twenty years ago they used to be without locks, but nowadays they are secured by locks from dishonest people, and this also proves to me, that the world is not getting better as some say. fruit stalls with money boxes were also more common in the good old days. we bought red pawpaw, avocado and passion fruit.
on the wednesday we discovered, that the phone was out of order, but we were not very surprised as it happens here from time to time, and no one seems to worry about it, and no one was very keen to fix it. well, we had a few days good break from phone and internet. the caretaker left with his girlfriend for a day out, and when they returned, he said, that he was hopping that the phone will be miraculously fixed of its own accord, but that never happened. anyway, i had just bought a phone card, so i could ring my mum, but i also didn't worry that i couldn't, i knew that sooner or later the phone connection would be missed by others and someone would make an effort to fix it. our mobile phones were working, so mango rang the man, who was the first one offering us to housesit his house, because he is often away working, and he told us to ring him in about ten days, around 8th of february.
also on wednesday we went to marreba and we bought in the supermarket very yummy white nectarines, peaches and grapes. i also sent two postcards to the czech republic. after our return to fruitopia, mango went for a swim, and i jumped in the bathtub and then i had a nap. mango returned just after i woke up, and he told me that he didn't have a swim, but he had chatted in the communal kitchen with darrick and that they would be going for a swim right then. so i jumped in the bath again and then i was drying myself in the garden, enjoying the sun and i picked and ate a few cherry tomatoes. the rest of the day we were chatting, firstly me and darrick, mango joined us a bit later after his nap. when the sun was setting and the blood thirsty mozzies arrived, me and mango returned to our house and we enjoyed a meal made of pealed and finely sliced cucumbers mixed with avocado. and for the rest of the night me and mango relaxed and chatted at times.
darrick is a person from America, who has been for the past 3 years travelling the world, mainly the places, where durian is plentiful. he also loves durians. we met him at first on the internet, there is fruity interview with him at mango's fruitarian blog, and he has a blog too (vagabondingvegan.blogspot.com) and he is friends with harley, his girlfriend freelee, and nick. who also attended the raw gathering at fruitopia, left after, and arrived without darrick again a few days later, after me, mango, emile and david ended up here at fruitopia after our journey from sydney. darrick arrived recently with some durian, and not long after he invited me and mango for a durian feast, he had flown from byron bay (australia) to see us, and he was looking forward to enjoying a yummy durian feast with us. and that happened, not only once. darrick is a very nice person and he is also generous and hospitable. one day his fruity friend robert came over and he brought over local fresh durian, ordered and paid for by darrick, and we all sat in the sun and enjoyed magic durians he shared with us, and it was altogether seven of us; care taker and his girlfriend, me, mango, darrick, robert, and paul, he came for a few month to generally relax and have a break from the world and his usual everyday life. darrick loves fruit and he stayed with us here at fruitopia for about a week. he was lucky, it was a week long sunny break from the rainy days. then he left for bali. so far, he likes the philipines the most, for very tasty abundant durian of many varieties and he thinks he may live there for a while. while he was here, i once made it with mangos help to the creek where he also later on joined us, and he told me that while i was swimming i looked like an angel. i was very pleased with such a compliment. when he was finally leaving fruitopia, he said, that he would love to visit us in australia again one day. me and mango are glad to have another fruitarian friend.
on thursday we had a lazy day almost the same like on the monday, i had gotten sunburnt by the creek on the previous day, i had had such an awesome time that i forgot about the time..the creek has beautiful gum trees in the water and amazing small waterfalls.. so i avoided the sun for a few days and i took care of my sunburned skin with fresh aloe vera gel.
and as every friday, me and sweet mango visited cairns rusties market, and we bought for us and darrick a lot of local and fresh durians and back at fruitopia we all enjoyed and shared more than once a durian feast..
on saturday me and mango left for atherton market, and we bought cucumbers, red pawpaws and pineapples.
sunday was a beautiful and very relaxing day
on monday me and mango said goodbye to darrick and just before that we all had a sweet fruity picnic at one of mareeba's park.
on tuesday i had an idea to go in to atherton for cucumbers, and to my own amazement, after i parked our car near a second hand store, mango remained in the car with his crosswords, and i left for that store, and there, even though it was unexpected, were the cucumbers i had on my mind. so i was nicely surprised and pleased that i had listened to my intuition, and i bought a full big plastic bag and that was almost all of them. lovely cucumbers from somebody's garden, and so cheap, only two dollars sixty for the lot. on the way back mango drove and we stopped at fruit stalls by the road and we bought red pawpaws, avocados and passion fruits.
we have been ringing the mobile of the man whose house may be for us available to housesit from the seventh of february, but so far there has only been his message bank, so we are once again not sure about our housing situation.
we enjoy everyday yummy fruit, we drink or eat pineapples, drinking or eating cucumbers, drinking or eating grapes, eating cucumbers with avocado, mango is adding tomato and hot chilli as well. mamey sapote, i drink watermelon, and i eat occasionally a lady finger banana or two, or mango. and both of us are eating red pawpaw, passion fruit and lately more durians than usual. usually we enjoy local fresh durians on fridays saturdays and sundays, twice a day. and i almost forgot we are also eating yummy white nectarines, nectarines and peaches and we are drinking orange juice often. as always we are eating or drinking all fruits only raw and fresh.
life is beautiful
on monday 1. 2. 2010 me and mango enjoyed a beautiful, peaceful and nicely lazy day at fruitopia
on tuesday, we went into malanda, because the man, who offered us, that we could move in and housesit his home, did not contact us again, but we did not give up, and because we knew, as he previously told us, that he is usually at home on tuesdays, despite of having no arrangements with him, we decided to travel over there anyway, so we could once and for all find out where we stand. and we were lucky, the man was at home, and as soon as we arrived at his house, he came out, and without saying hello, or apologising that he as promised did not contact us, told us, without a smile on his face, that he had changed his mind and he was going to rent his house for handsome dollars. we did not mind so much, the most important to us was, that we finally knew how things were, we said good bye with a smile and we drove back toward our home.
we stopped on our way in malanda's second hand shop, and we bought very cheap and nice cotton curtains, they are colourful with a print of giraffes and coconut trees. i may not use them for the windows as i would like to make something else from them. we previously visited the same shop a few times, and we always got some bedding made from top quality cotton and for a very good price. we are saving a lot of money that way, because the cotton of such quality is available only in the most expensive shops.
then we drove for a few minutes and we visited the river and her amazing waterfalls, where we had our traditional swim. after the abundant rains, the water in the river had risen up, and the waterfalls increased in their volume as well, gashing wildly over the big boulders, and the rivers current was much stronger, so we had some nice exercise, swimming against it toward the waterfalls, and on the way back from them, we were carried easily by the strong current. we spent the most of our time by the river alone, and only a few times someone came down to have their quick lunch. me and mango, we were relaxing in the hot sun and then we enjoyed a meal of red pawpaws followed by passion fruit, and then we jumped into the river. i took some great pictures, so did mango, and he also made some video. after our refreshing swim, we sat on the foot-bridge over the river, back to the waterfalls and we were watching the river’s flow along the shores of luscious tropical rainforest. we were throwing twigs and leaves into the water, watching their floating journey. soon after we said good bye to the river and to her waterfalls, and after about 20km of drive we stopped in atherton.
in atherton we visited the supermarket and we complained about the poor quality of frozen durians, because they are sold already a few days thawed, and that is why they are not fresh and that is why they are not very tasty. they nicely apologised and gave us one big durian for free. well, naturally, it was again not a very yummy one, and me and mango decided that we won't buy any more frozen durian from thailand at atherton's supermarket woolworths. the lady from the fresh produce who dealt with our durian cry, told us, to our disbelieve, that durians arrive in the shop already unfrozen, we were very surprised to hear that, because we never come across such durian treatment. when we asked why that was so, that durians get in the shop unfrozen, we didn't get a clear answer, the lady obviously wasn't a durian lover and i think she didn't fully understand what our problem was.
