Just life that's what it is

Hyvää huomenta! Last weekend I spent with my lads in Vyborg (in different times it was Finnish Viipury and Swedish Viborg, but in 1944 it was taken by the Soviet Union). Our trip was a spontaneous offer, but we did it! It was full of fun, joks and tricks. And at the same time we had visited all main sights of Vyborg. In the early morning everything was foggy and I gave up a hope to get colourful photos. The weather changed about 14 o'clock on our way to Mon Repos park, it was sunny and even hot. One pleasent old man, which was a native finn, told us how to enter the park free:) The park has large territory, rocky landscape, rare fauna. Most of all I wanted to see the only medieval castle saved in Russia - Vyborg Castle . It is  a Swedish-built medieval fortress around which the town of Vyborg evolved. Currently it serves as a museum. N ow Vyborg Castle is seen as a unique monument of West European military architecture that was shaped by developments from th...

Not so long ago I've tasted French sweet meringue-baced confection - macaron. It's commonly filled with buttercream or jam between two biscuits and easily melts in the mouth. I had fall in love with this desert and decided to find the best one in Moscow! On the 5th place are macarons from cafe "Le Pain Quotidien". It's a very atmosphere cute small restaurant with amazing fresh croissants and coffee in cups with no handles, but two of four macarons were dryish and I like only pistachio one. The 4th place belongs to Coffeehouse where I've tried them first time. They are good, but for the same price you could try something better. At the Costa Coffee you can buy macarons set and it is more gentle and smooth in comparison with Coffeehouse, so I placed it at the 3rd place. Silver medal goes to the French bakery Paul! You can try one big macaron (vanilla, raspberries, chocolate and pistachio), it's filled with light cream, but at the same time it's v...

Поговорим еще о такого рода ограничениях, которые относятся к физиологическим потребностям человека. С них, пожалуй, и стоило начать, но слишком торопилась с публикацией предыдущего поста. Полезно было бы провести эксперимент по воздержанию от продуктов, содержащих сахар . Но боюсь в таком ключе эта задача для многих окажется невыполнимой, в том числе для меня. Сформулирую немного иначе. Пускай будут ограничения в сладком и мучном . Вот это уже более осуществимо. Помню, как однажды месяц не ела конфет, булочек и шоколад. На 32-ой день купила самую маленькую "Аленку", откусила от нее 1/10 часть и тот вкус показался мне самым восхитительным, что я когда-либо пробовала на земле! Вода, казалось, приобрела сладковатый вкус, чай вдруг раскрыл весь свой аромат, ушли лишние килограммы, но на ночь постоянно снились пончики, круассаны и маффины. Совсем отказывать себе в этом удовольствии больше не стала бы, иначе ходишь, жадным взглядом смотришь на все сладости, злишься, а кусочек ...

Вчера мне попался блок статей, посвященных различным воздержаниям от чего-либо в течение месяца: от сладкого, развлечений, доступа к социальным сетям и т.д. Я проводила подобного рода эксперименты над собой, и всю ночь думала, а какой бы вызов бросить себе? Пусть не покажется странным, но один из первых пунктов - это сериалы (о них упоминалось в статьях). За последние пару лет они прочно вошли в нашу жизнь, их количество просто зашкаливает и все-то хочется оценить и посмотреть. У меня началось с "Как Я Встретил Вашу Маму", продолжилось "Теорией Большого Взрыва", затем "Декстер" и понеслось. На сегодняшний день количество просмотренных мною сериалов окажется в районе доброй двадцатки. Я искренне удивляюсь, когда узнаю, что человек ничего не слышал о том же HIMYM, Breaking Bad, Игре Престолов. "Что, даже Шерлока не смотрел(а)?!" - только и восклицаю. Да а чем же они плохо? Избавляют от необходимости подолгу выбирать фильм на вечер, интересные р...

Listening to The Cure - The Last Day Of Summer on August 31 has become a good tradition. Most people are getting sad saying "Summer is a little life and now it's over". But I tell you that it's only the beginning :) ...How I love to walk in the city in a leather jacket, bundle up with a scarf and listen to my favourite melancholiс songs. And you never know when all of the beauty of Golden Autumn is gonna die. Every day could be the last one of a good warm weather and then dog days with wet and rains are coming. It is a time of thoughts, inspiration and building plans. And I believe all incredible things are happen to me this Autumn. ...Summer 2014 has become an important part of my life: some things had its end, some questions were sold. It was shown who are my true friends! And I've had enough time to think about prioroty things at present for me. Now my time is coming - my time is Autumn.

Within a week my life changed. It`s all because I finally had decided to undergo an operation for knee. Every day I feel better and better. And I`m so inspired of what I`ll be able to do again like at the good old days! But there had been some hard days when I could barely leave my bed or had a lunch - I physically had no strength for those simple things. I still lay every day - it needs a time for recover my health. And a rememeber those days when I was lazy or bored to do something. And I`m asking myself now: "What the hell I was lying in a bed and doing nothing but complaining of life?!" You have two hands, two legs, a head on your shoulders and 24 hours a day to make something important for you! It depends on you what to choose: to live or give up.

There are so many different events in Moscow every weekend, so I decided not being lazy and visited one. On July the 13th ColorFest was held, it's like Holi festival in India. The main thing you have to do is colour each other with dry powder. I had bought at least five little bags of spices and with my friends we began a battle! Everyone had won it;) It was a celebration of love, friendship, smiles and summer. You could hug any person you want, there were no differences between mates and strangers - everyone belonged to everyone! Hug me, Free hugs, Kiss me, Slap my ass - guys, it was so funny:-D
