The first school day has been pretty nice, nothing VERY special. Tomorrow my best friend will come back, so it's very exciting.
Now I'm putting here some my usual pictures for you, plus The Song Of The Day, and nothing more. I'm a good girl today, going to the bed in time.
I've got this pic on the wall for about 2 years already
Due to my learning Italian, TSOTD today will be a moving Italian song "Un Mondo Nuovo" by Antonella Lo Coco.
Ah, tomorrow I'll come back at school. But actually, I don't worry about it, because I'll meet my friends again, which have become very close for me. And I'm very very happy about my vacation, even though it's ending. I'm so glad how it has been, because it's been one of my best vacation ever! Although my best friend hasn't been here, with me; but every day we've talked through the Skype. And right now she's controlling my typing here :D
Some days ago I've found out a cool game "Band Stars" Beta, where you have to create a music band and make music itself. I really like it, though "people" there look strange, but it's funny, isn't it? You also have to do different tasks to earn bonuses and coins. Here's the link for the game: https://bandstarsgame.appspot.com/
The weather is really frosty and cold nowadays here, and it's going to be so till 19.01 or so. It calls here Epiphany Frosts, so everyone have to put all the warm clothes on.
The song of the day will be "Your Body" by Christina Aguilera from her last album "Lotos", which I've done a review for. I like and the original song, and even more I like the official remix from Deluxe edition by Martin Garrix. I put here the both version. Like it!
Merry Christmas, Russia, the Ukrain, Belorus and others, who celebrate the birth of Jesus on the 7th of January. I don't go to the church this day because the mad crowd, but always treat this holiday very nice and awesome.
Today I had a walk with my friends, and it was very funny, as usually.
The song of the day will be "Kiss The Girl" by "Chameleon Circuit", pretty sweet song. Have a nice time!
Some people think the perfect fantasy is the girl next door
But my dream girl has got the keys to my heart and home
I never dreamed that in a million years
She'd settle for me.
This room's to let, I only advertised this morning,
But here you are with three months rent and references that shine beyond
Belief.
Take me to my room, you said,
No time to lose, you said,
And now you're making omelets and you ask me,
"Who's that girl on the fridge"
And I'm telling my life story,
But I guess she's too good for me.
She's not my girlfriend,
She's just a friend who's a girl,
She's my buddy, she's my best mate,
And she rocks my world,
I wanna tell her, but I just can't find the time,
Or find the words,
Oh, for God's sake, kiss the girl.
A quiet night in, but we won't even know you're here,
No phones, no interruptions,
Maybe now's my chance to tell her how I feel.
But now you're here and I can't think,
So why not stay and have a drink?
I don't mind if you don't mind.
Do you want to stay?
I don't mind.
Great.
And now she's going to live with monkeys,
See the world and disappear,
Am I what's keeping her here?
She's not my girlfriend,
She's just a friend who's a girl,
She's my buddy, she's my best mate,
She rocks my world,
I wanna tell her, but I just can't find the time,
Or find the words,
Oh, for God's sake, kiss the girl.
I can't take this anymore.
I want you to go, cause you're talking to a cat,
And everybody loves you, and you're better than me at football and my job,
And now Sophie's all "Monkeys, monkeys, monkeys"
You're going to take her away from me.
Alright, I didn't want to do this,
But it might be the only way
The world will end if you don't concentrate on why you want to stay.
So, Mr. Sofa Man, what's keeping you here?
Sophie!
I don't wanna leave,
Sophie!
I can't leave,
Sophie!
I love you, Sophie.
But what about the monkeys?
Oh, not again, not when the world's about to burn,
Today my friend and I watched an awesome movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World". It's really amazing! The words meaning the sounds are absolutely nice! The movie is based on the graphic novel series, and it's very funny! I like wide using teenage sleng there. So I suggest everyone to watch this movie with the friends and food!
My friends muddy the waters in my life, so I have only to laugh, and they have to laugh too, so it's strange and weird LOL
And the song of the day will be "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay, because yesterday my friend from my music school gave it to me to listen to, and I was charmed. We met, because we watched "Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away", and this movie is REALLY MARVELOUS! Have to watch! I like this movie even more, because there's a lot of song by our lovely "The Beatles".
Hey guys! Yesterday I finally bought the latest album "Lotus" by Christina Aguilera (deluxe edition). The album contains 13 tracks, plus 3 bonus tracks from Deluxe Edition. To tell the truth, I found myself not very excited about it. Let me tell you in detail about my feels.
In general, the album's worth being listened to, but in my oppinion, Christina kinda shouts out a lot there. Of course, she's got a strong voice, one of the strongest in the world, but maybe, it's the editing, anyway, I think there's too much shouts.
Now I'm going to mark out some songs I really like.
Firstly, it's "Cease Fire".This song became my favourite from the album since the first listening. CF is very powerful, so even the screaming in the begining can't spoil it.
My secong favourite song is "Best Of Me". I call songs like this "songs for self-affirmation". It's not sarcasm, no, I like these songs. And BOF is very cool, therefore I like it. Also there're more "songs for self-affirmation" in "Lotus", are "Army Of Me" and "Empty Words" (below about EW).
Next song is from Delux Edition Bonus Tracks, and the title is "Light Up The Sky". The song is nice, but I must admit much shout again.
"Empty Words" is also a fine song. It's good on going somewhere for the background. As I've said above, EW is one more sone for self-affirmation. When you're upset, the song can help a bit.
And, certainly, I must mark out "Your Body", the first single from "Lotus". Here the screaming suits pretty well. What about singles from the album, there's also "Just A Fool" feat. Blake Shelton as one, but I think Ms. Aguilera should do more singles, or even just "Cease Fire".
Also I must say that the intro "Lotus" is very awesome.
Now I must tell you about my biggest disappointment. It is "Blank Page", one of the 2 ballads of the album. Probably, I disappoint it, because I'd listened to the demo version from Sia (one of the authors of BP) with another lyrics. And the version of Sia is AMAZING! Even though she kinda shouts out there too, but it's another kind of shouting, it's exactly singing! And I was very excited to listen to Christina's version. So when I finally heard it... it wasn't what I'd been waiting for. TOO MUCH SHOUT! When I sing like this, my teacher tells me: "Olga, don't shout out!" So what can I say about Aguilera?
Match the snippet of the demo by Sia and Christina's "Blank Page":
Sia's version
Whole album version
Generally, I agree with the critics, which say that it's "a good start in the effort to refocus attention on Aguilera's skills", but observed "several tracks that sound mindlessly repetitive as sedentary listening experiences" and call it "generic" and felt that "nothing really stands out". Moreover I like the expression that the album's "self-empowerment anthems ... as contradictory as they are unoriginal". As I've said! So I would give "Lotus" 3 stars from 5, as The Independent, The Observer and some others did.
And to sum up, the song of the day (and of the album for myself) will be "Cease Fire" by the main character of my post. Check out!
I'm not going to write again that everything's marvelous LOL
Only thing I have to write is that tomorrow my best friend Dasha will go to Khabarovsk for about 10 days. She'll even miss 2 days of studies! But the same tomorrow my friend, ex-classmate, from Smolensk will arrive here!
The song of the day will be a funny and energy song by K-pop girls-band "Girls' Generation" (SNSD) called "I Got A Boy". Have fun!
Oooooh, guys! I've got the bestest 1st of January ever! After the midnight, on about 1 a.m. on so on, I celebrated New Year with my friends from my class, and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Firstly, we had a walk around city's celebrating places. It was so fun, but some people got cold very fast. In general, there're about 16 people.
Then one our friend Misha had to go home, so we saw him home. But instead of keeping on walking without Misha, we stayed in the guest of him! And it was also droll! Most of us slept, but some my friends and I stayed awaken.
When I, as almost all my friends, came back home, I slept, but it wasn't good enough because there were some reasons pretending my sleep. Anyway right now I'm going to sleep so well and deep as I want! But let's return to the story...
In some time, late in the day, my friend Dasha called me and told to prepare for the walk again, because the guys were going to gather together one more time. Of course, I wasn't against! So I prepared quickly and we went for the walk, but this time there were fewer people. Anyway, it was marvelous! And to tell the truth, the photos of our night walk don't differ much from our evening photos LOL
So now I've come back home again and I'm going to drink some tea and sleep.
I hope you had an amazing celebrating of New Year or Christmas too!
Moreover, my dear friend from Italy Antonio has his birthday on the 1st of January! My congratulations, caro!:D
