This weekend I've spent outside the city with my classmates, class teacher and one more friend from a parallel class. Actually, only a couple of teachers knew where we were going to go those Saturday and Sunday. If our director knew, our head teacher would had written a paper asking a permission for the trip, and she [director] would hardly give it to us. So, in the end we did get out of our usual atmosphere and spent our weekend at the holiday village.
I turn out not to have used my camera during our little holiday. But my friends did, so later (probably, tomorrow) I'll get our photos and share them with you. We had a lot of fun playing volleyball, Twister, Alias, talking and singing karaoke. We cooked meat and didn't sleep till late night, so this holiday will go down in our history.
After my coming home my mom and I have gone to the shop and bought new trousers for me and her; moreover I've got a new autumn cap, it's so nice, rock and swag. LOL
On my way home from the rehearsal it's so cold, therefore I need a cap. Of course, I had one, but it's too old - my elder sister wore it! I've wanted something new.
If I've already put the line in the title, so and the song of the day will be "Sorry For Party Rocking" by a hilarious and dancing duet "LMFAO"! Our party was really rocking!
Yesterday I ran into a Russian song by an Ukraine singer Eva Bushmina that I really like. It's a big deal because lately Russian songs became pieces of shit and many lyrics bring nothing, and melodies don't touch the soul. And this song somehow makes me listen to it again and again. The song's called "Religion", and I'd like to translate it for you:
Sky is white, stars are born again. Believe not in the rules, but in my eyes. Take on trust what I say, trust frantic, There's no truth but you and me. I'm in every moment, in every face, Now I'm your religion. Away, we'll go in the tenderness of my dreams. And I'm not afraid at all, only let me Fly into the sky, reach the limit. Heaven is where you are, And I don't care about others. Crowds, squares, faces, sign-boards, I cannot bear this world anymore. The night threw rain over our shoulders, Everything isn't simple, but it's planned so. Keep me like a relic, Now I'm your religion. On becoming alive again, we'll start all over, And I'm not afraid at all, only let me Fly into the sky, reach the limit. Heaven is where you are, And I don't care about others.
Eva's written on her official Facebook page that the word 'love' turns unimportant, we tell it to everyone and everything, and she wants to remind people about the real feeling, when you're ready to sacrifice for your love, and this person becomes your religion.
The melody's beautiful, the vocal's strong, the lyrics has the style I like. Probably, the song may be very controversy in Russia, because recently religion is a very mordant theme in our society. There's even a new law about insulting the feelings of believers, and an insulter can be put into prison for 2 years! Of course, nowadays there're so many jokes about this, churches and insulting the feelings of atheists.
Unfortunately, today faith and religion are different things here. After all the taboos of the USSR about any kind of religion and cults, Russia's mixed up with that thing. On the one hand, we're Russia back, God led holy Russia for hundreds of years, and now he will do it again, our President - former atheist - obediently visits churches, and the Church gets lots of money. On the other hand, true believers lived even in the USSR and had faith even if it was forbidden - no one can steal our thoughts, even in Orwell's "1994"; people born already in the USSR are atheists and hardly will understand religion. In my opinion, though the USSR didn't have religion, it had Lenin, and then Stalin. People didn't believe in God, but they believe in their leaders. Lenin is immortal, Stalin is unbreakable - isn't it idolatry?
Talking about myself, I was christened in the Orthodox Church when I was about 4. My mom's also christened, only dad stays communist. Mom like going to the churches, we visit cathedrals in the cities we travel to; we're not fanatics. I think, maybe there's something above that rules all these stuff the science will never explain, and it's probably not an old man with the beard. Have you watched "Dogma"? There God is a woman at all!
Turning back to the music, there's also one more song coming to my mind when I talk about religion. It's Lady Gaga's "Teeth". There's a line "My religion is you". And moreover I can recall lovely "Judas" -about love religion too.
Unfortunately, I can't put Eva Bushmina's "Religion", so you better "take on trust what I said" :)
Believe in what you believe, God loves you, Flying Spaghetti Monster gives you power, Allah lets you sleep today. Be brave!
Reading my yesterday's post, did you think Iggy's era in my head had stopped? No. Today, if your mood is down, your song of the day will be "Slo.", and if you're up and full of energy, so listen to and dance with popular "Bounce"!
Today our parallel of 11th classes and I have visited different doctors in the hospital. We had to do it to have medical certificates which will be needed entering the university. Everything's ok with me, but my vision. Vision is the only thing I have problems with, therefore I wear glasses at school.
I get used to Windows 8 more and more, I've already downloaded some adds, most of them are collected works by my favourite poets and writes. So cool.
I've got some onerous homework and some favourite laziness. I'd better do it now and more quickly; another way tomorrow's morning I'll be a monster killing everyone with the looks and suffering about being hungry. Aghr, it's already late, I'll be the monster anyway.
Do you like morning? I know exactly, that namely I should sleep about 8,5 hours or at least wake up not earlier that at 8 a.m.. My biological clock knows when our morning starts.
In the begging of October (exactly before my birthday) we're going to set up Wi-Fi in our flat! Mom and I have our own laptops, plus my sweet HTC, so we both need wireless Internet. The only thing I fear is that a big birthday party of my friend's and mine can become a meeting of the Internet club.
Well, you know the songs of the day, and I'm gonna do my tasks. See you!
Hey, guy! I'm writing to you from my new laptop - ASUS X550C-series. It's so cool, even thought it has Windows 8. Actually, Windows 8 isn't so bad as it's talked about. It's very colourful and... I just must get used to it.
When my friend saw the laptop and said it's thin, I answered "It's as thin as my new sanitary towel".
My dad bought the laptop to me yesterday, and my old one is going to be my mom's. We were very nervous yesterday, because even after buying, sellers downloaded some programme stuff to my laptop, so we had to wait a lot. So this way we paid for the laptop afternoon, and I got it only in the evening.
I'm writing sitting in the cafe, so I won't tell a lot. The song of the day is "Everything At Once" by Lenka, because exactly this song reminds me about Windows 8.
Still feel ill. That's a bad feeling, hate being sick with the cold. You can't work with full power, often don't get what you're talked about, can't breath fully.
It's damn cold outside. Probably, September's never been so insufferable.
Right now I'm watching the Russian version of "The Voice". Now there's blind audition, my favourite part.
I guess there's nothing more to share with, but my mind era of Iggy Azalea. And today's song of the day is gonna be "Pussy" - quite dirty song which captured my mind from 'emotistyle' video and open Ms. Azalea for me.
I never thought I would be so happy as I was yesterday seeing our interpreter and curator from Japan work in August. We talked and had fun, it felt like we hadn't even said "goodbye" to each other!
As I came home late from dinner, I still had to do my homework, therefore - follow my thought - I haven't slept enough last night. Therefore today after my English lesson I've dedicated my time to me, myself and I, eating and sleeping. And eating.
Talking about eating, at school we've been measured our weight, height and arterial tension. Like I thought I've put on some weight. Well, now there's an aim to take it off.
Also yesterday, before the meeting with Japanese friends, my friends and I had an awesome walk meeting more friends and taking photos. And the photos are the coolest as usual.
Soon all series will start their new seasons - so excited! Except just "Doctor Who" and "Sherlock" - they make us wait wait wait....
Though I'm not a big fan of rap, but latest rap music is pretty nice for me, so there's even one artist I like listening to, it's Iggy Azalea. I don't know why, but she rocks me with her beats and melodies, so I'm sharing this with you. The song of the day will be "Work", the song she's become worldwide popular.
[VERSE 1:]
Walk a mile in these Louboutins
But they don't wear these shits where I'm from
I'm not hating, I'm just telling you
I'm tryna let you know what the fuck I've been through
Two feet in the red dirt, school skirt
Sugar cane, back lanes
3 jobs, took years to save
But I got a ticket on that plane
People got a lot to say
But don't know shit bout where I was made
Or how many floors that I had to scrub
Just to make it past where I am from
[REPEAT 4x:]
No money, no family. 16 in the middle of Miami.
[HOOK:]
I've been up all night, tryna get that rich
I've been work work work work working on my shit
Milked the whole game twice gotta get it how I live
I've been work work work work working on my shit
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work
Working on my shit
[VERSE 2:]
You can hate it or love it
Hustle and the struggle is the only thing I'm trusting
Thoroughbred in a mud brick before the budget
White chick on that Pac shit
My passion was ironic
And my dreams were uncommon
Guess I gone crazy, first deal changed me
Robbed blind basically raped me
Rose through the bullshit like a matador
Just made me madder and adamant to go at em
And even the score
So, I went harder
Studied the Carters till a deal was offered
Slept cold on the floor recording
At 4 in the morning and now I'm passing the bar
Like a lawyer
Immigrant, art ignorant
Ya ill intent was insurance for my benefit
Hate to be inconsiderate, but the industry took my innocence
Too late, now I'm in this bitch!
You don't know the half
This shit get real
Valley girls giving
Blow jobs for Louboutins
What do you call that?
Head over heels
[REPEAT 4x:]
No money, no family. 16 in the middle of Miami.
[HOOK:]
I've been up all night, tryna get that rich

[VERSE 3:]
Pledge allegiance to the struggle
Ain't been easy
But cheers to Peezy for the weeks we lived out of duffel
Bags is all we had
Do anything for my Mum, I love you
One day I'll pay you back
For the sacrifice
That ya managed to muscle
16 you sent me through customs
So….
All aboard my spaceship to Mercury
Turn first at the light that's in front of me
Cause every night Ima do it like it's my last
This dream is all that I need
Cause it's all that I ever had
[OUTRO 2x:]
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work
Working on my shit
Lately Britney Spears has released her new single "Work Bitch", and it's probably on the same theme. I've just listened to the song, and even though Britney's beat is more dancing, I like Iggy's "Work" more.
Yo! Da Boss is in da house! My honey blog has reached over 10k views! So big amount! It even looks like binary code.
My urine analysis is given, my blood test is taken, I hope I'm healthy.
Today a new promo-single "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry has realized. It's so amazing! Katy's on again! The song's kinda SWAG, and it's really cool and rocks. I like it for sure.
Also in the USA the new season of "Dancing With The Stars" has started. I wouldn't mention it if it weren't Amber Riley. As long as I love "Glee", I follow the cast's news, so I know she's a participant, and she's got the cutest dancer to participate with. And here's their first performance! They rock as hard as Katy Perry's new song does! This couple is incredible. Therefore they're the first winner of the season.
You may treat "Dark Horse" as the song of the day. Or I offer you the soundtrack of Amber and Derek's performance "Wings" by Little Mix. The band is 4 nice British girls supposed to be new "Spice Girls".
Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And if they give you shhhh...
Then they can walk on by
My feet, feet can't touch the ground
And I can't hear a sound
But you just keep on running up your mouth yeah
Walk, walk on over there
'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is
Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
(Hey, hey, woo!)
I'm firing up on that runway
I know we're gonna get there someday
But we don't need no "Ready. Steady. Go!", no
Talk, talk turns into air
And I don't even care, oh yeah
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is
Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night,
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
I don't need no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't hear no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
They're just like water off my wings
Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly (my little butterfly)
Hey, Monday! You suck!
I'm tired 'cause I had a busy day today. 5 lessons at school, then fluorography in the hospital, after some free time to have lunch; the next step is my first maths lesson with my aunt - she'll prepare me for the final exams (soundtrack). And after the maths time I ran to the rehearsal.
Tomorrow my day is going to be much easier, there'll be only school, English lesson and probably a walk with the friends. But who knows, I always find something else that can't live without me.
To tell beforehand, on Wednesday our Japanese friends - our interpreter Mironov and our curator Nakai-san will come here to sign a document for winter job. Fortunately, I won't be needed for that time; another way I'd miss all my preparing for the final exams (soundtrack). But I'll be so glad to see them again, to know how they and other guys are.
If you want funny things, so tomorrow I'll have to bring to school my urine analysis. As my classmate has said today. "I don't know about other things, but I haven't brought my urine to school yet!" Well, maybe, it's not a theme to write in blog about, but damn you - it's my blog and I find bringing urine to school ridiculous! Also, we'll have blood test.
I have some pictures for your night. I know you've missed them:
The song of the day will be a song from the latest OneRepublic album "Native" - "Something I Need". Have fun - it's all I need! :D
I had a dream the other night
About how we only get one life
Woke me up right after two
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn't lose my mind
And I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you can tell
But you're like the net under the ledge
But I go flying off the edge
You go flying off as well
And if you only die once I wanna die with
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
Last night I think I drank too much
Call it our temporary crutch
With broken words I tried to say
Honey don't you be afraid
If we got nothing we got us (Yeah)
And if you only die once I wanna die with
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
I know that we're not the same
But I'm so damn glad that we made it
To this time, this time, now
You got something I need
Yeah in this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (Yeah)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
Though right now having a little headache, I must write a post, because I've missed such a big period without posting a word! So let's see what I remember about the last week.
I bought myself 2 audio discs. They're "Stars Dance" by Selena Gomez and "Native" by OneRepublic. Both of them are really cool. I'd already knew some new songs of Ms. Gomez and OneRepublic guys, so I wasn't so afraid buying the discs.
Also Cherry Lady shared one amazing video with me. 2 Norwegian guys (must be famous, but it was our first meeting) discuss about what foxes say. Really interesting and unbelievably hilarious! Bur somehow I know that foxes yap.
Moreover it was Friday 13 on the week! Did you feel unlucky? I was not! Friday 13 has been always an usual day, but my neighbour chanced to step into someone's spew. ><
Yesterday it was 131th birthday of our city, so I worked and then had fun. I came back with the most painful pain (let it be one of my best-known phrase) in my feet. We had to wait a lot to see one famous Russian band performing.
And today Dasha and I have cooked two cool things: "student" pizza and brownie. Well, if you can imagine a brownie, so for a student pizza you should cut a long loaf aflat, take crumb out, stuff it with everything you like and sprinkle with the cheese. 10-15 mins in the oven, and it's done!
Here's our student pizza:
But in the middle of the way we were done and couldn't even looked at our pieces of art.
And here comes the brownie:
Probably that's all about the week or probably I've just forgotten.
And here's your song of the day from the latest Selena Gomez album "Stars Dance" with the same name.
Wake up to your dreams
And watch them come true
I'll make you whisper my name
And never leave the room
Night and day I'll be your muse
No other girl can make you feel the way I do
I can make the stars dance
Light up the moon,
I can make the stars dance
If you want me to
The sky is everywhere,
So meet me under there
I can make the stars dance, dance, dance for you, you, you
Don't be afraid, close your eyes
Let me take you to places that you've never been tonight
I thought by now you'd realize
I can do anything I put my mind to
I can make the stars dance
Light up the moon,
I can make the stars dance
If you want me to
The sky is everywhere,
So meet me under there
I can make the stars dance, dance, dance for you, you, you
Everything I touch turns to love
Everything I do will open up heaven
Instead-stead-stead of us falling, we're flying in love
Nothing's forever because we are just stars dust
I can make the stars dance
Light up the moon,
I can make the stars dance
If you want me to
The sky is everywhere,
So meet me under there
I can make the stars dance, dance, dance for you, you, you
I can make the stars dance
I can make the stars...
I can make, I can make, I can make, I-I-I can make the stars dance
The sky is everywhere,
So meet me under there
I can make the stars dance, dance, dance for you, you, you
Last Saturday was exhausting. We performed in our city park, then header's band asked me again to perform with them. Ok, so we sang to the Japaneses which we'd been with in Japan during our August trip. The bad thing is that I was performing in the concert suit of another singer, so the suit itself was alright, but her kokoshnik (Russian age-old national hat) was too small for my head. It was the most painful pain ever!! And the pain from the top of my head even reached my nose, and it started running. I had to bear that feeling for 2 hours! But than when I took the hat off, I faced the paradise.
Today I don't have any rehearsal or lessons after school, so I've just shot a big mix cover. My friend had asked about it long time ago, but I didn't know what to mix together, and today I've got inspiration, free time and power to do it! And here I go! (The premier in my blog, so to say)
I've sung there parts of 18 songs in a row! Yey! And there's no song by Lana Del Rey! But you can find there Sia, Christina Perri, a lot of Lady Gaga and even Caro Emerald with Ella Fitzegarld.
I have to do hometasks as usual, but you know what? Of course, laziness.
Yesterday I remembered about the song that had been repeating in my head like an earworm, but I'd always forgotten to download it. So yesterday I finally did it, and now I can enjoy good old "Heads Will Roll" by "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" every damn moment. And so should you!
Off with your head
Dance 'til you're dead
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor
Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The river's all wet
You're all chrome
Dripping with alchemy
Shiver stop shivering
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome
The men cry out
The girls cry out
The men cry out
The girls cry out
The men cry out
Oh no
The men cry out
The girls cry out
The men cry out
The girls cry out
The men cry out
Oh no
Off, off with your head
Dance, dance 'til you're dead (dead)
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor
Looking glass
Take the past
Shut your eyes
You realize
Looking glass
Take the past
Shut your eyes
You realize
Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome
You're all chrome
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
[7x]
Also get the A-Track remix ost "Project X" and mush-up version "Thriller/Heads Will Roll" by sweet Glee Cast.
Well well well, here I go. As I promised, there's a recipe for Scandinavian meat-balls with cowberry sauce. even though I promised to give it to you yesterday.
All you need is love:
about 700 grams of minced meat (I had 1 kg)
an onion (in my opinion, it's even too much)
some bread
milk or water (I used milk)
cowberry itself
a lemon
1 egg (because of the fact that I cooked a bigger amount of minced meat, I'd decided to use 1,5 eggs)
inspiration
Firstly, I put the bread in the milk to make it soft. Before it I'd take crust of the bread off. I didn't count the time how long the bread was in milk, 'cause I let it lie there a long time doing funnier things, but the Internet said bread could soak for about 15 mins. Some people prefer water, but also tells it doesn't matter. Tastes are tastes.
Then my most tearful ordeal in my life began. I had to chop the onion. Actually, it was probably my second time I did it and the 1st time I did the whole onion. I forgot about the tip to wet my knife in cool water, but earlier I'd read that mint bubblegum helped not to weep during chopping. Well, I didn't have mint one, but I did original Japanese gum, so I tried to use it. Usual bubblegum does not work. Take your make up off before cooking, if you have sensitive eyes to these phytoncides as I do. For example, if my mom's chopping an onion in the kitchen, I can feel it with my eyes sitting in my room. Could you imagine, what was with me, when I was right above my poor onion cutting its integrity?? I seemed to become a new participant of "Kiss" band!
Then I washed my face, open the window, turn our hood on and my tears vanished away! I finished my onion aim, but my fingers are still smelling like the onion (already for 3 days).
I got already prepared minced meat, but if you can do it by yourself, you're cool. So I was ready to mixed everything together: meat, onion, bread and eggs.
The minced meat was taken right from the refrigerator, so I frostbited my hands while I was mixing all this stuff. After all mass was ready, it was the time of the most interesting part - forming balls. Right before it I'd prepared my kitchen-range with the frying pan. Don't forget to add some oil!
Also looking for a big soup-plate I found my cookie cutter I'd bought in Disneyland. They weren't even opened, so I decided to let them work a bit.
Then the time of the most delicious part became. Cowberry sauce! It's so simple and so tasty. Take 200 grammes of the berries, squeeze 1/3 of the lemon and add tea spoons of sugar. The next step is blending it, and that's all! Your unbelievable sauce is ready. Exactly it makes your usual meat-balls tastes so good.
And here coming the finish: meat-balls were fried, the sauce was blended, I was hungry.
The only thing I had time for before my rehearsal is to put everything on the table nicely. I ate some balls and ran away to sing, but when I returned home, mom and I had awesome supper.
