Saturday again, and I'm happy!
Love weekends...

And here's a new quote for you guys:

"There's no cure for love but to love more".

H.D.Thoreau

I think this is a very inconsistent statement, and what are your thoughts?.. Waiting for your comments!

Happy Saturday dear readers!
Hope you are all fine and having a great weekend!

Why don't we discuss today the following statement:

"A wise friend knows how to spare us much pain".

B.Gracian

What do you think this saying means? To my mind it may mean that if you are a real friend you may sometimes lie to a person for his sake instead of saying painful truth... Or something like that. But not sure... What do you think?

Let's see which holidays are awaiting for us coming week...

24th of April - Easter

27th of April - Administrative Professionals Day
29th of April - National Arbor Day

Happy St. Valentine's Day!..

 

Let this day be filled with lots of smiles, hugs, kisses, warm wishes and tenderness all the way today!.. Even if your heart is not occupied yet, remember there is always someone who loves you and cares for you, you just have to give him some time to understand it :)

With all my best wishes for you dear friends!

Love, ~ xoxo

Great saturday everyone!

Hope this day for you is as sunny as mine is:) Well, my week was pretty easy but generally said not interesting. Last week we (my mom and me) were having fun in stealing one guy's attention from each other. The idea wasn't to win something more than total attention, but somehow my mom started to play it unfair... Meanwhile my dad was joking at us all the time:)

Really, none of us needed this guy, and he himself was also just having fun flirting here and there. Due to my whole days these weeks are full of job tasks it was at least something to light up my mood. However, I just stopped my part exactly yesterday as I lost all the interest seeing how my dear mom is trying to make me loose.... Yes, this all sounds ridiculous and an obvious absurd I know..! But well... Giving my mom a 'green light' was a good thing to do, but now I feel so boring and actually tired of work:( And the weekend itself isn't going to be calm: tomorrow I'm invited for a party - argh, yes - with my mom and this guy...

I need totally something new and distracting!..

Good saturday everyone!
How is your weekend? I really hope you spend great days:) I have been pretty busy this week and what worse I got sick in the beginning of it... Well, right now I feel much better, I want to thank you all for your nice words and wishes!!

Thursday's evening I've spent in russian ambassy with few friends and familiars and the night was pretty funny:)
So today I decided to go with my parents and friends to hot springs for a day. Sun is shining, weather is warm and nice, why not taking a day off and spend it outside of the city relaxing in hot water swimming pool?..:)
"You can do it better, always remember that you can do it better. But there will always be people trying to let you down. Don't help them to succeed!"
Have a great day today and tomorrow guys!

Good day everyone,

How is your saturday? How was your actual first week of this lovely new year?..

Talking about me, I decided to go to my apartment on the beach after that absolutely crazy New Year Eve's party...to relax a little bit:) Yes, December of 2010 was a really great, busy and even weird month for me, but I have very warm memories about it! I hope that this new year will be as good for me as the 2010th and even better. I'm trying to start few new things and now envolved in some new stuff that I like a lot. Hopefully, this will really bring me good experience and knowledge. I have to start thinking also about coming exams in the university. The fact is that I still have many things to do and to study:( Though I'm sure that till may I will be able to manage with everything...

However, how did you spend your New Year's Eve? Was it fun?? Or more classy?.. My party (I made it in my house) was pretty awesome, but kind of crazy...lots of silly cute things, masks, costumes, etc...well, you know!!:)) ...And of course amazing 1st of January when I had to clean all over the house and put everything on its place...khm, something I really hate to do.

Well, I wish you all a great 2011 year! Let it be full of joy, happiness, love, success and of course smiles!..:) Stay fabulous and lovely as you all are!

P.S.: "Sometimes I look back and think how different everything could be, but then I take time to look around and I understand: I actually like it the way it is... Always works."

Hello guys,
Lately I've been visiting lots of sites dedicated to our environmental situation, animal care and human rights. The subject is very important, though, unfortunately, not very popular at the moment.
So exploring stuff related to this issue I've found lots of information about Ian Somerhalder's activity in this area. This was quite unexpectable for me, as I only knew this actor for his performance in "Lost" series and new lovely "The Vampire Diaries" series.

About a week ago or so mr. Somerhalder announced his new project the "IAN SOMERHALDER FOUNDATION". I was very glad to read Ian's message to people, and due to my opinion is close to his foundation's aims, I'm a new supporter of course. You can also support the project following its Twitter.

Ian's birthday is next week, on the 8th of December, and he applies to people to give a donation to the IS Foundation, as a gift for his birthday - what I think is really sweet and fairly:

"Instead of gifts this year, my birthday wish is that we come together and raise funds to support projects that protect our habitat and nurture our furry friends. If people truly feel like giving me a gift for my birthday this year, I hope you will consider giving a donation to the foundation. Giving to the foundation would be the best gift I could ever wish for, it would give us a chance to make change together.

With birthday wish campaigns, it is customary to suggest a donation in relation to the age the person will be turning...Whoa... 32 years old this year, how did that happen? Whether you choose to give 32 dollars or more, or less, I’m going to appreciate your involvement in the IS Foundation start up in an immeasurable way. If you have it in your heart to donate, I want to thank you right now..... THANK YOU!"

Truth to be said, I really started to respect this man, and the name Ian Somerhalder means to me inspiration and hope for a better world.

Thanksgiving Day is today. I can't say it is such a big holiday for me, but I always loved it. It brings me warm, bright autumn memories every year. This year has been pretty different for me in lots of ways, and I hope the word "different" in this case means "better". I feel that a lot of things has changed around me and - what's more important - I've changed too. Really hope in a better way, but who knows!:)
Today I was thinking about everything, and this is what I came up with on Twitter:

"Today {Thanksgiving day} is a day of considering what is exactly you like around yourself, what are you grateful for and what is what you have in your soul.
Thinking about these aspects I'm convinced that I'm a very happy person, having friendly and loving family, and amazing friends around me.
I'm grateful to my parents for kindness, responsiveness and responsibility they've brought up in me. I'm thankful to my friends for being honest with me and keeping me true to myself.
And finally, I'm very glad that there are people who are trying to change the world, like @TVD_Chloe @iansomerhalder @WSPACanada @ E-Type @Mayah_Riaz @SWAFB."

I wish you have a lovely day today dears! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

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?..

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..!

"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.
