Hello everyone!

I hope your weekend is nice and you are able to relax with weekend. Talking about me, this is a busy one for me, but never the less pleasant: yesterday there was my beloved mom's birthday!:)) ...And started from thursday our house is full of guests:) Well, tonight I'm going out to see my friends, but tomorrow we have one more dinner with few friends at home...

It's very tiresomely, but lovely!

"... I hope to celebrate with you your birthday for many many years more! ..."

Elegantly yours,
Olya Nikol P.

Dear readers!

I really feel that I have to apologize for being so slow lately and not writing and answering to you :( November is always a hard month for me, as there are a lot of birthdays and other events in our family that happen exactly in this month. The biggest turmoil is because of my dad's birthday and actually my own birthday...
That is why I was kind of lost for my blog lately. So many things I had to arrange for my dad's celebration!.. My head went round, I was so afraid to forget something necessary, I couldn't sleep thinking about making the party the best... well, I was pretty tired honestly.
But it resulted in a great 3-day's partying for my young dad (that is only 45-years old now) and lots of our friends!
Well, no need to say that my dad was very glad and happy, and every single person spent great time. But when I finished with this long celebration I had no will or strength to think about my own... There is only 4 days difference between my father's and mine birthdays and so I had to cancel on it. I didn't invite anybody and didn't arrange anything. I wanted only to have a quiet dinner with my parents (as it was tuesday) and nothing more. Hm... my dreams didn't "full fill" though :) starting from the early morning I was receiving phone calls and flowers and post cards and presents.... and so all day long:)) For the end of the day I wasn't able even to smile - I don't even say talking!.. And for my quiet family dinner arrived lots of friends! They said they don't really care that I didn't want to celebrate my birthday, they just came to congratulate me and show some love:)) This was amazing!.. No, really, I'm so thankful to everybody and everyone in particular for being so nice to me during that day!!
I was only sending some comments to my Twitter page (I'm actually kind of in love with it lately), so some of you have been probably reading what my B-day looked like:))
So, I'm kind of back now, so I'll do my best to answer to each of your messages and letters (and comments), just give me so time please!

Elegantly yours,

"Envy My Style" Looks by You

Dear Friends,
Sorry for posting so late today! My day was full of work today and that is the reason I had to take so long to post your looks I liked during the week.
I must confess it wasn't easy to choose only three this time - I actually liked 9! But, this wouldn't be nice to post every week different quantity of the looks.
So, here they are, the looks of this week by You:

"Glamour Bbey"

"dionysha's"

"Squarectomy"

Please, help me to choose one!

"Envy My Style" your look of the week

Thank you everyone for supporting me by your voting! I really appreciate your attention! And here is the first outfit-winner on my page:

"The cherry blossom girl"

Congratulations!

Monday: Looks of the Week by You or "Envy My Style"

Good day dear friends,
I'm checking out lots of fashion blogs recently. Not that I haven't been checking on them previously, just that thanks to nice comments you leave here I started to see more personal blogs with personal fashion. And it's interesting! You know, sometimes I look on the photoes and think: "this is amazing! why didn't I think about that??" Some of the shots and ideas are just breathtaking. Honestly!
Well, I must admit, that on the other hand I see sometimes even ridiculous outfits, strange, or simply ugly (to my mind of course!). I would never ever want to offend anybody with my thoughts, so I prefer not to tell the owners of the blogs that I can't really see anything nice or stylish in some of their looks. But I definitely want to show everybody the looks I really liked because of different reasons!
First of all, this is what I liked. I follow modern fashion, but however I stick to what people call "style". It may be changed, or may vary, but it is always something you notice....
It would be difficult and not correct to post images of outfits you present every day. That is why I decided to try to start with 'Mondays' system: every Monday I'm going to post here your looks I liked. Let's call it "Envy My Style". Please be so kind to write your comments and let me know which one of them you like most. And then on Fridays I will post a photo-leader of the fashion lady's outfit you liked more.
I really count on your support in that, and please if by any reason you need to contact me - feel free to write me anytime to: on.dc.pishcheva@gmail.com

"Leia's Delights"

"The cherry blossom girl"

"Squarectomy"

Thank you in advance dears and have a great week!

Elegantly yours,

As my sister has just returned to Russia from Cyprus and has been so glad to spend there two months, I have few pictures made by her on the island that I'd like to show you:

"Unforgettable travel, enormous life experience, gold beaches, the bright sun, the sea of colour of turquoise, the star sky, the richest cultural heritage.... And 55 days of happiness. It is paradise on the earth... It is Northern Cyprus..."

What Irina was saying is that this place is a real paradise. Well, I've never been there, so I can't tell, but I prefer to believe my sister :) Would you like to visit Cyprus?..

Strange Thursday

Good day,
This week was crazy. Really full of work and lots of problems.. Honestly, I was longing for this weekend to come so bad. But today I have to work also however :( I feel so tired now..

It was so great to read a lot of interesting things about Fashion's Night Out! I'm really sad I couldn't present anywhere this year... But you guys showed so many cool pictures from FNO!!! You've been lucky, and yes, I feel a bit jealous, but I'm glad you had so much fun over there.
Yesterday received an invitation to a pre-exhibition open house for 25th of September. Seems like from now on I'll get lots of invitations for parties related to flower exhibition. At least, I'll attend this event.... :)

It was pretty strange on Thursday to find my ex-girlfriend (that just stopped talking to me without any visionable reason about 2 years ago) talking to me about different stuff happened to her, asking me lots of questions and begging for taking her into my friends' company when we've met in the beauty salon. Really, I could easy ignore her, as she has been doing for all these 2 years when we suddently met each other here and there. But I thought that it's not gonna cause me any troubles if I just talk to her this time. Though, honestly, now I expect some kind of action from my ex-girlfriend, and nothing good actually. Well, we'll see.
Alright, I hope you have a nice weekend and I hope to relax a bit tonight and tomorrow.
Hugs ~

Elegantly yours,
Olya Nikol P.

How was your weekend dears?
Mine I've spent on the beach with my parents and friends. We haven't been lucky - the weather was pretty bad :( It was cold a bit, rainy and all these days cloudy.. Not really the best weather for the weekend, especially if you are on the beach.
The ocean was quiet and peaceful and we are very much upset that we couldn't swim.
All these four days were pretty calm for me, just that yesterday in the evening I had a dispute with men...argh...well, what can I say, the discussion started by one of the friends has been finished with the sex battle, as usually though. The subject was ridiculous, and I was even offended by the guys' opinion. But, well, this is nothing actully :)
I was sitting near the swimming pool, listening to my favourite music, watching some little birds flying pretty low around and time after time drinking water from the pool and I was thinking about the one I love. The thoughts brought me back to the time when I was sooo happy... But as there nothing I can change now, I just made myself feel sad again. Hate myself sometimes!.
Alright, guys, wish you a nice week.

Elegantly yours,
Olya Nikol P.

We are not getting older - we become wiser!

My Dears,
Yes, yes, I know..It's a shame to promise something and never do it... And I'm really sorry for that! The evening I promised to write you guys, was later full of work unfortunately, so when I finally got home I just fell on my bed and fell asleep.

Still I must confess the weekend isn't the way I thought it would be. Saturday was pretty good though: I've spent it with my family, cooking together with my mom(that happens rarely) and watching all the evening till late series of one russian movie. So it was kind of relaxing.
Today started nice, just that the weather is dark. Although it's just around 1pm, seems like it's about 5pm already. Arghh...and it's just started to rain!! At least I hope that the fresh air will compensate pools.

On Friday, 27th it was Martin Eriksson's birthday! The day was really nice over here, I guess because of the holiday only :) Well, unfortunately, Martin said that now, as he's pretty old, he's not celebrating his birthday anymore. Of course, I wrote him that it's his desicion, but that I can't agree with him. So, I'm still not sure if he will ever tell us how did his day go. However, I've sent him a letter with congratulations and lots of wishes. As what I wanted most that day is for Martin to have a great holiday.

Well, sad enough that he didnt say anything about himself, but he's just said that he's on tour again, and that makes him happy. At least I'm glad to hear that. Though I don't loose hope that he will throw away his ridiculous thoughts of being "too old" and will go on enjoying everything around him: ".. now I'm so old that I do not celebrate it {birthday}anymore ..". Come on Martin!! It's just 45, not 85..! 

Elegantly yours,

Guys,
Really I know that I own a lot of things to tell you, please forgive me for such a delay, it has been an incredible, hard week. Promise to get back to you tonight!!

Hugs ~

Music that cheers me up

E-type i Malmö 13 Oktober 2007 Video por Carin - Video de MySpace

E-Type is one my most favourite performers. There's nothing I can say, but his music really helps me every time I feel down.
And I'm very much thankful for it, Martin, you are amazing.

Such a nice evening...

I hope you all had a great evening tonight, well I did!
My dad prepared a nice dinner, and though he wanted to invite some of our friends to join us, we didn't - so it was a quiet family dinner. Still I can't forget the disgusting thing my father has confessed the day before, but I pretended there was nothing.
Just four of us - my parents, my brother and I - we were laughing and speaking on insignificant subjects. Was cozy and 'homy', so I feel relaxed now and in a great mood.
Good mood to me has added also a new Martin's blog post, he sounded so cheerful!.. So I've even surpassed myself and left a pretty long comment :)

Ok, as adorable E-Type says "many hugs and have a wonderful weekend" guys, hope to find time to write you coming days

Elegantly yours,

In the Notes

"Happiness".
I've found an amazing note written by my friend, and I didn't really know how to comment it, and should I comment it. However, I didn't. But I found out that it is so true - a little story of feelings - I understood that I've had kind of the same story. Well...honestly, I'm still in it.

"What is happiness? For me it is a kind of feeling that is very hard to describe. Sometimes you can feel so happy, that it seems like everything inside you is going to explode…you can’t control it…you can barely handle it.

And sometimes you feel so happy, that you can’t even sleep. You just lie there, next to him, afraid to breathe in order only not to wake him up. And in the morning, when you open your eyes, you feel his warm arms all around your body and you realize that there is no way to be happier than you are. It’s like you reached a limit, you’re just flying somewhere in your dreams, carrying that warm “piece of happiness” inside your soul. But soon after that you get so scared…extremely scared at the thought that it will all be taken away from you…and it definitely will. Just disappear…like it had never happened to you."

In a memory of T. "
 
Do you know what she is talking about?..
I do.

What's up?
Seems like I'm done with that translation for now. So happy!.. Of course there a lot of work yet to be done, but not for coming days fortunately.
So now I'm starting closer work on the tourism issue. This is an amazing difficult but really nice job to do. This is something totally new for me: I've never ever thought to get involved in anything related to tourism. Never actually felt that it is "mine". But for now it seems to be a good thing to do. Well, I will be able to travel and see lots of things I wanted to see and visit places I've never been to. Of course, not all at once..unfortunately. But there is always something to start from.
So right now I'm focused on creating the most exciting tours to Galapagos Islands. I've been there, but only once. ...And really since then wanted to go there again. This is an unusually different place from what I've seen before. It has so many interesting and curious things to show!. But what really shocked me was the fact of  "slow time running". I mean, this is what you hardly believe when you hear, but it is true. Obviously, when you take a tour full of diving, sailing (what you should do also for sure) you probably won't notice that fact. But if you take some time just to relax there - you'll definately understand what I mean.
I think we all deserve sometimes little vacations, and to be honest this is what I would love to do at the moment. But well really I can't do that: as I have a lot of work to do. I can't believe that it has been about a month as I returned from Russia, but I still didn't get a chance to see any of my friends!! This is something crazy.. But at another point it should be good - I actually think I should get in shape before I meet everyone. Unfortunately, kgs gained in Russia don't want to disappear so fast =( That is killing me of course.
Another trouble is a coming wedding of one of my familiars, that I would never ever wanted to attend. But can't decline the invitation! Though I have my own reasons to.
Well, hope that something appears suddently and cheers me up =) Goodnight

Elegantly yours,
Olya Nikol P.
