The last day of April is on! And finally the last month of spring will come tomorrow, and everyone will have rest because of the May Day, except me. And so except all singers and performers, in principle. I'll perform with my chorus in the mid-day somewhere-I-don't-even-know.And the day can be thought to be done.
Today we've finally cleaned the territory up, as we were supposed to do long before. And while I was brushing that sleepy ground with my rake, cleaning it off from old leaves, grass and rubbish, I remembered about Lev Tolstoy or Nikolay Nekrasov, which loved Russia with her huge areas, plains too much. Many scientists, psychologists and writers tell us not to forget where we all come from. And paying a tribute to our mutual mother-Earth, as natural particles in gels and tonics clean our face and skin, we should clean up ground even once a year [I'll add it in my some possible future book]. Moreover, while we're doing it, we're free from the lessons.
Also today my English tutor has showed me a video from the TED. TED is a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, under the slogan "ideas worth spreading". They talk about the variety of themes: design, art, IT technologies, science, politics, business, culture... So I watched the guy, a Swedish (Eric Saade's compatriot) photographer Eric Johansson, talking about realism and imagination, and how we can trick our mind.
You'd think I'm dump, but only yesterday I listened to the one of the most famous song by Amy Winehouse "Rehab". Now I understand why people pretty frequently mention this song and love it generally. Guess, what is the song of the day?
A friend of mine shared some peacemaking music with me. All these songs are from the time of Vietnam War and mostly about it. Or, to be right, against it. So, there're some songs I've liked most:
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son
Edwin Starr – War, What Is It Good For
Pete Philips – Scramble
Well, my new cosmetics things are simply marvellous, though I haven't hesitate.
I have to rewrite my last chemistry work, even though I have to do it because of the inattention of the teacher. One more beotch. But there's tiny hope I'll get higher mark after my rewriting.
The song of the day is the 2nd in my list, so listen and have peace.
Sorry, guys. I promised to describe you how I'd cook the pears, and actually I've cook them, and the dish's literally marvellous. But you know that I lost my camera wire, so I can't transfer my photos. No photos - no interesting post.
At least I've watch a cool episode of my adorable "Doctor Who". I definitely love Clara, she's decent.
Well, the weather's still not the best, and I hope tomorrow we won't clean up the area near our school.
I haven't also said that on Friday I bought a new pair of shoes, but I can't wear them sometimes because it's dry outside.
It's getting very late, and I haven't still done my algebra hometask. Therefore I better give you the song of the day and go. Go to do what I don't want to do.
The song of the day will be a song by gorgeous Sia with the title "Kill And Run". This song is a soundtrack for the future hit "The Great Gatsby". I listen to the soundtrack list and understand the movie will be amazing at least for the music. Generally, all Gatsby's music is so my style. Get mysterious!
And to fill the gap of lack of the pictures, here's a couple of cute things my friend have sent me:
Do you remember I complained you about my "burning desires"*? So what, guys? I'm waiting for the congratulations! I finally bought all the stuff yesterday, though I run around the half of our city for them! And nail polish, and lipstick, and eyeliner. My mom called that black nail polish "gothic" and said she hadn't seen my favourite nail art with black basis and gold tips. Woman, it's one of my best nail arts!!
Today I'm going to cook an interesting thing - pears, boiled in the grapes juice. Going to be very sweet, I think! :) Anyway, wait for my next post, I wanna make kinda tutorial.
It was storming with the snow during the night. Welcome back home, odd Sakhalin's spring!
And here's a sunny song for your Sunday! (not TSOTD though)
* "Burning Desire" - a posh song by Lana Del Rey, used as a soundtrack for the promotion of the latest brand of the Jaguar F-Type automobile.
Everything would be nothing, but I've got 3/C for my economics test. Usually I don't worry about this kind of marks for other subjects, but this is ECONOMICS! My teacher's definitely going to come me down. Beotch.
The weather's been nasty, therefore I spent the rest of the day after school at home trying to cheer myself up. And to authorize myself, I may tell I've tasted today "Dr. Pepper" Cherry for the first time, yeah. You see, "Dr. Pepper" is hard to be found in my city and in Russia in whole. I've even found a group in our social network, which make money delivering this drink to the regions. But I'm glad I've bought it today in an ordinary supermarket.
Tomorrow my family and I will go to the concert. What the fortune - I'll be listening to, not singing!
Moreover, I wait for my next salary to buy clothes again. And cosmetics. And shoes. So, you've understood.
I haven't had an obsession to an exact song today, therefore let's the song of the day be... "Next To Me" by Emeli Sande. You certainly know, Rachel and her birth mother Shelby sang this song in the last episode of Glee. So let's sing together!
Today I've finally decided to make absolutely brilliant "Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake the song of the day. I've been actually waiting for this day, because I couldn't just put this amazing song in some day. I can easy assert that "Mirrors" deserves a marked place in my songs of the days. Let's give it "The Gold Status". Enjoy.
Aren't you somethin' to admire?
Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'm here tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you somethin', an original
Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare, cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I
Would look at us all the time
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'm here tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
You are, you are the love of my life [x10]
Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are
You are, you are the love of my life [x8]
Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You are, you are the love of my life [x16]
Also about 2 hours ago I was recording a song for my choir. I was glad I really did it, because my throat seemed to ache. But my teacher was startled how our voices are alike, and how splendid I sing, and all this stuff... But all my happiness contained in my definitive recording of one of the most annoying songs.
Plus I can't help writing about the reunion with my friend who hasn't even noticed I've been angry for him till today. You see, it's important to respect girl and girlish being, as far as I hold in high respect all male mind. And yes, I feel like sending regards to my best and most faithful reader :3
Of course, guys, I haven't written for too long to miss posting some images for you:
Rimmel Waterproof Gel Eyeliner # 001 Blakest Black
And today, just now I've come over to the shop, and there's all this stuff! And I've had no money to buy it! The rest of the way home I've been going as I had an excellent mark for mathematic exam. Shocked.
Therefore now I wait for every little money. So post rock.
Moreover, it's snowing outside! What beautiful snow! And I would be very glad to see it, if it was winter outside! But not APRIL. Well, it's always this way for everything in Russia.
I've chosen a line from the song "Bad Girl" by Pussycat Dolls (soundtrack of "Confessions of a Shopaholic"), because unability to buy something I long for is a real problem for me. And exactly this song will be the song of the day.
I have no money on my phone to reply my friend, but I hope she's understood why there's no response.
Tomorrow I'll have an absolutely weird lesson of economocs. We'll show our "advertisement" of something. My friend and I will "market" a sheet of paper. Yes, and it'll be ok. I hope.
Ah, I think there's nothing more to add, excepting the song of the day. Let it be the latest hit by Demi Lovato called "Heart Attack".
Today we've had a day off, and moreover a friend of mine and I have had a shopping day! I've spent my choir wage for a pair of blue jeans and... yellow trousers! They're both amazing! (Especially, yellow thing)
Right after our shopping we've decided to have a walk, and it's been nice - we've been discussing about everything, and how this everything is complicated.
I'm glad I've already read a part of "War And Peace" by L. N. Tolstoy that we have as a hometask for tomorrow, so I don't mind thinking of cheating as usually. Frankly, this epic work is read pretty easy, personally for me even easier than Gogol's novels. But it really is if we talk about Russian parts. I don't have to say that about half of the novel has been written in French! Oops, I've just said it. But I think, by the end of the epic novel we'll have known the French language well enough.
Aand the song of the day will be a song about a complicated thing called love, and the song is called naturally "Complicated" by the Barbados singer Rihanna from her lovely album "Loud" which I love much. Solve your complicated things!
Chorus:
You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no-oh
You're not easy to love-
You're not easy to love, no-oh
Why is everything with you so complicated?
Why do you make it hard to love you
Oh, I hate it!
Cause if you really wanna be alone, I,
Would throw my hands up cause baby I tried
But everything with you is so complicated,
Oh why?
Verse:
Sometimes I get you, Sometimes I don't understand.
Sometimes I love you, Sometimes it's you I can't stand.
Sometimes I wanna hug you, Sometimes I wanna push you away.
Most times I wanna kiss you, Other times punch you in the face.
Every minute you start switching up and you say things like, ' You don't give a fuck! '
Then I say, 'I'm through with you.' Take my heart from you. And you come running after me, and baby I'm back with you. Oh!
Chorus:
You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no-oh
You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no-oh
Why is everything with you so complicated?
Why do you make it hard to love you
Oh, I hate it!
Cause if you really wanna be alone, I
Would throw my hands up cause baby I tried
But everything with you is so complicated,
Oh, why?
Verse:
Sometimes I catch you, Sometimes you get away
Sometimes I read you, Other times I'm like, 'Where are you on the page?'
Sometimes I feel like we will be together forever
But you're so complicated, my heart knows better.
Why is everything, with you so complicated?
Why do you make it hard to love you
Oh, I hate it!
Cause if you really wanna be alone, I
Would throw my hands up cause baby I tried
But everything with you is so complicated,
Oh, why?
Imma stick around just a little while longer.
Just to make sure, that you're really sure, you like sleeping alone
Imma stick around just a little while longer.
Just to make sure, that you're really sure, you like sleeping alone
Why is everything with you so complicated?
Why do you make it hard to love you
Oh, I hate it!
Cause if you really wanna be alone, I
Would throw my hands up cause baby I tried
But everything with you is so complicated,
Oh, why?
You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no-oh
You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no-oh
Today we've had less lessons than usually on Mondays, and that's great! I spent my extra time at home, doing nothing special (expect the thing below).
Yesterday, when I was looking for my lost wires for the camera and reader, I found an inviting red polka dot scarf. I got it from mom a couple of years ago, though I didn't wear it at all. But, perhaps, then I already knew I couldn't let that amazing thing get lost in times and rubbish. So, yesterday I took it out of my box and the rest of the day I spent thinking how I can wear it. You know, nowadays I'm under influence of the song and music video "Candyman" by Christina Aguilera and I like retro and vintage in general, so spin the scarf around my head and my neck all possible ways. In the end, today, before I've gone to my rehearsal with the choir, I've done a photo-set as I like. On handling the photos I've got awesome 'retro' photos.
What is retrospective itself? Generally it means to take a look back at events that already have taken place. I think, sometimes we really should do it to find a solution for something or to understand why things happen one way, and not another. Even Mr. Pitbull says in his song which I actually do like "Back In Time": But to understand the future we have to go back in time. Today at school I've written a work for a text which was about exactly retrospective and old things, memories. It said old things in some time may become really fashionable, and may cost expensive enough, even though almost everyone's had it earlier and just rid off of it. Time goes around, everything turns back and has the second life, even, for instance, my red polka dot scarf.
Also now there's fashion for old-looking, vintage photos (as I've done my ones above), and vintage style as well. Everybody knows lovely Instagram specializing in it. And one young american country music singer Taylor Swift even has made a whole music video in the style of "modern retro" (author's neologism). And exactly this song, which title is "22" is going to be the song of the day! *HIPSTERS TIME*
It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes
It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers
Be brave and end up dreaming instead of sleeping
P.S. The last episode of "Glee" is just entire WTF. And the last episode of favourite "Doctor Who" is really worth watching. I can say I've already loved the period of Clara Oswin Oswald. Aaah, guys, of course, Mr. Moffat and Co prepossessed my by making this episode about Russians and the fact they didn't show us as enemies or nuts. Although, some moments connecting with the Russian language and culture were funny for me as for a Russian girl.
I haven't got the access to my laptop almost for a whole day, but now here I go.
Today I've returned to school after my short sick leave, and guess what? Instead of 5 lessons we had only 3, and I can easily say I've just met my friends and had some rest! Even after school while I've been shopping with my friend I've got tired more.
But I haven't totally been satisfied with myself on my English tutor's lesson, I've been absolutely dumb. I couldn't find words, read well, totally forgot simple rules and etc. I won't have a lesson next Tuesday, so it means I should prepare in depth not to appear as a dull one again LOL
Talking about next Tuesday, we won't study again because of exams (fortunately, we pass nothing this year). That's actually the only reason I love spring - lots of days off. But all this dirt on the streets make me look like the Grumpy Cat. BTW, I've just found the most awesome nail art with this kitty! Here's the link and the pic!
Moreover, I'm putting some my regular images for you, today they're all from the Lingualeo.com site.
Should book this one
While I was going home from English lesson, I thought the song of the day would be Pink's one, but now, as you see, whose quote is in the epigraph, it's easy to understand that the song of the day is droll and rocking "Candyman" by fabulous Christina Aguilera!
I've got earache again, but now with the right ear. Because of it I haven't gone to school and rehearsal today, and tomorrow I won't go too. Just I've watched one more time "Confessions Of a Shopaholic" in my warm bed eating milk chocolate. What a paradise! How much I love this movie! I've cried my eyes out again. Also I'm going to watch today "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", as my music friend suggested me.
My choir header has called me this morning and told that the travel to Korea is going to be in the beggining of May, and they want me to join, but I've had to refuse, becuase very soon I'll give my foreign passport for American visa.
It's already been the final of the 1st season of marvellous series "The Carrie Diaries", and I long so much the 2nd one! It'll be enormous grief, if the series is canceled. Unfortunately, a lot of watchers aren't from the USA, and not everyone has an IPad with the official CW app, therefore official rating is lower much than real rating, for sure. Well, if the catastrophe happens and "The Carrie Diaries" won't have continuation, I'll watch all existing episodes times and times again.
And the song of the day will be a mystic song "The Wolves (Act I and II)" by Bon Iver.
Someday my pain, someday my pain
Will mark you
Harness your blame, harness your blame
And walk through
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on
Solace my game, solace my game
It stars you
Swing wide your crane, swing wide your crane
And run me through
And the story's all over you
In the morning I'll call you
Can't you find a clue when your eyes are all painted Sinatra blue
Love love love! You wanna talk? Talk about love! Or the weather. You're lonely? You need some love. You're happy? Oh, honey, you've got that love. And if you want more, here's our Very Interesting Blog! You can find there quotes and expressions about love and life too. Warning!: too sweet!
The title of the blog is melancholic "Paranoia". Why not? So, let it be.
And the song of the day will be a country song "Stay Out" by Nina Nesbitt. Sorry, if it's not country music, I'm bad at indentifying genres, but the song sounds this way. Enjoy, guys!
"Hey, Big Spender" from the musical "Sweet Charity"
Do you like spending money? How much do you spend? Are you a shopaholic? Yes, I do. Well, usually all value I have. And yes, I am.
"Money money money must be funny", but if you control everything. Of course, I know that spending your money (but not wasting, babes!) is an awesome thing, but you shouldn't forget about your savings and spendings and how they balance. Just having mentioned amazing earings we, girls, are ready to give 'em all our cash, but we should remember to keep ourself together not to be losers dealing with money. Economics is given me hard as a subject in school, but it doesn't prevent me to be clever with currency in real everyday life. Well, I guess everyone has an awkward story when he/she ran into a bigger sum in the shop than he/she had supposed it to be LOL
According to the epigraph, certainly, you can spend not only money; also you can do it with time, force... And let me repeat - you should spend it, but not waste! One Russian writer said: "The most expensive thing of the person is life. It's given him one time, and it should be lived so not to feel excruciatingly pain for wasted years". He was extremely right, isn't he?
What about our talking of money, so today my English tutor has offered me to teach English to a child or two next academic year (about 10 year-old ones). I am actually interested! Though I treat myself as a bad teacher, but perhaps it's all about practice? So why not to try? And I'll have a chance to earn money doing intresting things. The only thing to think carefully about is time again, because I'll have big exams next year and most likely I'll have extra history and literature lessons, but I hope I'll solve this. Well, I think I'm going to accept my tutor's suggestion. And who knows, but maybe I'll find myself in teaching? LOL
And, as it can be understood, the song of the day will be "Big Spender"! And even not only one song! Because besides "Big Spender" from the musical "Sweet Charity", I've found a cool same-named song by Adrienne Bailon (you may know her for the role in "The Cheetah Girls" movie). So the both songs will be the songs of the day!
P.S. Ms. Bailon's "Big Spender" was a soundtrack for a lovely movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic "
Today we've got a PE lessons in the gym, and I wouldn't have believed, but it's been really funny! We've been learning how to play basketball, and it's been my first time I've shot the ball throught the basket! Yey! And I've done it many times! What a sporty girl!
You see, generally I don't treat games with the ball good, but this year is an amazing one, it works wonders, and I start loving these games. Playing volleyball has become awesome with awesome classmates, and basketball doesn't seem to be so cruel too.
When I'm asked what my favourite sport is, I usually answer "skating", because I can skate, I love watching people skating and etc. But my scope spread, and who knows, maybe I'll play more seriously at university?
I'm so excited about it just because attending PE lessons isn't a favourite thing among Russian girls, and we look for every little opportunity not to come there. You know, all the classes are already decided and told us by headers, we don't choose them, we can't change them, therefore PE, and chemistry, and algebra are inevitability. Post-rock.
Sporty girls, sporty girls... Who's the most sporty girl in the world? Of course. Sporty Spice Melanie Chisholm from unforgettable band "Spice Girls". And why can't their most successful single "Wannabe" be the song of the day? Let it be!
Also I love lip-singing this song by famous YouTube filippino brothers (I've forgotten their names), and here they go.
Moreover, I can't help saying about the performance by "Glee"! They even chose roles for each girl, Marley looked very similar!
Hey, today's the April Fool's Day! (And my father's birthday as well) Have you already fallen for a trick? What about me, so I read in the news-line that "Glee" will be closed after the 4th season's ends, but of course then I realized it's a joke!
We've spent dad's B-day nice, just 3 people: dad, mom and I. Ouh, and our pets too, certainly. We had tasty dinner, and I think it's absolutely enough in his age. I hope when I grow up I'll have a chance to celebrate my birthdays with my closest people, delicious food and whisky.
The first day of the last term has gone as usually, and again I couldn't bear English lesson. And tomorrow we'll have PE lessons again! Fuuu!
If you saw my previous post, you can understand I've registrated at "Bloglovin". Therefore, if you're there too, be nice and follow my lead :3
Aaand the song of the day will be a funny and naive song "Clumsy" by Fergalicious Fergie! Everyone can be a little bit clumsy on the April Fool's Day :D
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it
First time that I saw your eyes
Boy, you looked right through me
Play it cool but I knew you knew
That cupid hit me
You got me trippin', stumblin', flippin', fumblin'
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin in love
You got me slippin', tumblin', sinkin', fumblin'
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love, so in love with you
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it
Can't breath when you touch me, see
Butterflies so crazy
Whoa now, think I'm goin' down
Friends don't know what's with me
You got me trippin', stumblin', flippin', fumblin'
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love
You got me slippin', tumblin', sinkin', fumblin'
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love, so in love with you
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it
You know this ain't the first time
This has happened to me, this love sick thing
I like serious relationships
And a girl like me don't stay single for long
'Cause every time a boyfriend and I break up
My world is crushed and I'm all alone
The love bug crawls right back up
And bites me and I'm back
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it, the girl can't help it
Can't help it
You got me trippin', stumblin', flippin', fumblin'
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love
You got me slippin', tumblin', sinkin', fumblin'
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love, so in love with you
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love
You got me slippin', tumblin', sinkin', fumblin'
Clumsy 'cause I'm fallin' in love, so in love with you
