Today, when I was on the walk with Dasha, I've met a lot of people: my ex-classmates, a guy from a parallel class, Cherry Lady. It really cheered me up, because I'd dozed off a little bit before, and some thoughts had turned me down.
I've just packed my bag. There're actually few things, and half of my bag is empty. Perhaps, by my coming home it'll have been full.
All day long I've been nervous. I don't know why What a lie, of course I do! Tomorrow I'll have the longest flight, I'll have amazing time, and I'll have it all alone. It's not a fear, it's excitement, and I can't wait until tomorrow.
There's nothing more to talk about but my travel, so I offer you a set of songs about holly America and not so as you'd notice.
But the song of the day will be an inspiring song "I Lived" by one of my favourite bands "OneRepublic". The song's from their new album, and it's just awesome.
[Verse 1]
Hope when you take that jump
You don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You build a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out
They're screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
Is give it all you have
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes
You'll say...
[Chorus]
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
[Verse 2]
Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
I wish that I could witness
All your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes
I'll say...
[Chorus]
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
[Bridge]
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Oh
Oh
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
[Chorus]
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
[Outro]
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Oh
Oh
So with this optimistic note I'm finishing my probably last June post and announcing a hiatus. Wish me luck and be brave.
Today I might be in Khabarovsk already, but...
So, I went shopping, and now everything I want I have ("money, notoriety and rivieras"). I'm going to make a plan of presents for my friends. There may be not so many things, but I should remember what exactly, and I better write it down on the paper. Today listening to "Back To Life" by 3Oh!3, I've recalled that I wanted to buy their new album there, therefore I hope I'll do.
Dasha and I have watched "The Project X". The film was made by the same guys which had made "The Hangover". That's evident - an unbelievable party with a lot of alcohol, girls, boys, police, fire and no sense. In the end it became epic at all! "The Project " is a good example how (not) to make a big party. Actually, the movie was filming during 25 nights. TWENTY FIVE NIGHTS OF IMPETUOUS REVELRY
Right now I'm listening to Cherry Lady's disk "20/20 Experience" by Justin Timberlake. Oh, it's fantastic! Can't help dancing with my head and my feet, but everything else of my body is blocked between my bed and my laptop.
Congratulations to my city, here comes the weather I call hot hot hot.
I hope I'll be allowed to the Internet in America to update my Twitter, VK network, Instagram and maybe even the blog. I'd sent notes, because usually right by the time I arrive back home from somewhere I've remembered nothing, and recollect everything during a year.
My mom was presented a bath set, and I can't see it in cold blood anymore.
And here's your pictures for the night:
The song of the day is "Don't Hold The Wall" by cute JT.
Today I've visited a hairdressing saloon, but I haven't done anything revolutionary. And tomorrow I'll get my airplane tickets and all informational papers for the travel. I should buy every little thing for living during the journey, like toothpaste and shampoo. I can easily forget of them; moreover, probably, there will be all this stuff in the hotels, but I must be sure I'm ready for every situation.
On Sunday my bosses and I will take photos for the Japanese advertisement. An interesting fact is that we're going to do it with my camera!
Do you like my new design? Unfortunately, a line from Del Rey's "Lucky Ones" doesn't appears good on this picture of the header, but I like anyway.
The weather's nice again, but not hot hot hot yet.
If I've just reminded of "Lucky Ones" by one of my favourite singers, so let it be the song of the day!
Let's get out of this town, baby we're on fire
Everyone around here seems to be going down, down
If you stick with me, I can take you higher, and higher
It feels like all of our friends are lost
Nobody's found, found, found
I got so scared, I thought no one could save me
You came along scooped me up like a baby
Every now and then, the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones
Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time
Boy get into my car, got a bad desire
You know that we'll never leave if we don't get out, now, now
You're a careless con, and you're the crazy liar
But baby, nobody can compare to the way you get down, down, down
Today I had a walk with my friends Cherry Lady and Christina. It's our last walk all together and my last one with Christina, because she's going to become a real student and enter university in another city. I wish her a big good luck; I know she'll do everything alright.
So, due to bad weather we spent a lot of time in the cafe, but then we did have a short walk. I'm glad all we usually do we do it funny and so friendly. Of course, this way, we know each other for more than 10 years. 10 holly years!
See the name of Lenin on the top?
Then I got the latest news. My travel is delayed. A little bit. Instead of the 22th of June, I'll fly only on the 25th, Monday. Therefore I have 2 more days to yearn and prepare. I could visit my Korean friend's Birthday, but she's just now told me, she's gonna celebrate it later. Well well well, anyway I have some things to do before I leave the place. And in the end of it all I'll come back home on the 17th of July.
Lately I became a lover of noodles. Even though I know there's dinner at home, I can't help coming over in the shop and buy a pack of Korean or Japanese noodles. I can't say I'm a big fan of Asian food, but this time something make me want their noodles.
Being an owl, I almost don't sleep at nights. My friend Dasha has said I just become accustomed to American time. Every summer.
The song of the day? Let it be "Tequila Sunrise" by "The Eagles". Of course, you understand, the song's not about drinking. It's pretty sad, actually.
The day X is coming closer and closer, and my 3 main days has come today. So today my mom and I did a little shopping, and we've bought next to nothing: 4 pairs of shoes (for 2 pairs for each of us), a trousers for mom, a charging for my camera's accumulator (finally!) and some things to protect my skin from American sun. I've decided not to get tanned, because as I said before, I'm not made for it. And I don't care if people are indignant at me something like "You've just come back from the holiday! Why aren't you tanned?", because last year the situation was exactly this way. But I could get sunbath under North sun of St. Petersburg! And even though I'm going to sunny California, I won't get brown or - Lord, forgive me - red. Moreover, my white skin will contrast marvellously with my black swimsuit.
Oh, the sooner the day of my flight, the more I wanna go. Can't help bothering about it! Unfortunately, we still don't have any information about our visas. I hope, the matter is alright, and tomorrow my mom will receive the latest news and my airplane tickets to Khabarovsk. So tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I'll need to revise all my things and choose what to take to the journey.
Last night I scrolled through the photos of last year USA travel of the same company I'll fly with. And there were 23 participants! Oh Gosh, it's a huge amount for such a trip. I'm so glad we'll have only 12 people in our gang including the organiser.
I've kept one cool picture for a long time, but I think it's high time to share it with you. And this is Nathaniel Ruess at "Rock Am Ring" festival, Nürburgring.
I use this picture like this... to the people knowing Nate.
Congratulations to our island, the rain has stopped today. But it's been cold to the core.
I want Lana Del Rey to be the singer of the song of the day. Remembering my yesterday's post about dollars, so let it be "Hundred Dollar Bill". MONEY MONEY MONEY
Also talking about money, I have a chance to get money from the region administration. I've already got some premiums from the mayor and municipality, and this year I can win it too. What a good reason to be a good pupil!
Since yesterday it's been raining, and rumour has it, it'll end only on Friday. And I don't give a shit, because it's going to be hot and sunny in LA till forever. Or till the end of the month, for sure.
Today mom has bought me my first $350, and it's sooo coooool! I feel myself American.
Also my mom and I have just watched a French 'comedy' "Paris-Manhattan". I call it quote-unquote comedy, because yeeah, it's good, but not so funny. And don't tell me it's lambent humour.
Then I've shown her "New Year's Eve" and cried again.
And the song of the day is simply marvellous today. I warn: it's just S.E.X.! This sex is a young British band "Monarchy" feat. adorable Dita Von Teese with their song "Disintegration". Thanks to my music friend to have shown me this wonderful band and this fabulous song; I've just fallen in "Disintegration" since the first time. So here the excitement lives.
And then, when there is just one woman left standing in the room
I'm the one who left you, you're not the one who left me
Marina And The Diamonds, "Radioactive"
I've spent all day at home, therefore I've watched some things.
Firstly, I watched Shakespeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing" starring adorable David Tennant and lovely Catherine Tate with Russian subs, of course. What a wonderful thing! "Digital Theatre" recorded it, so now everyone can watch British theatre performances, thanks to them. Well, "Much Ado About Nothing" is a comedy about the whims of life and love; David and Catherine are absolutely brilliant there! The play is hilarious. And Tom Bateman played Claudio was awesome. It's one more confirmation that David Tennant and Catherine Tate are totally amazing actors. Love them
After the play I watched a movie "Monte Carlo" with Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester, new for me Katie Cassidy, Glee's Cory Monteith and Catherine Tate again! The story's about three girls having adventures in France. One thing I must admit being a girl is the guys are handsome. And I liked Leighton Meester there.
And yesternight I watched "Valentine's Day" by Garry Marshall starring many many many people. Garry Marshall also made "New Year's Eve" even after "Valentine's Day", so the structure is the same - some stories connected with each other. I want to mark out Ashton Kutcher, he's sweet again, and Bradley Cooper with... an interesting and unexpected character. Generally I really loved the movie and was crying as a little bitch.
Tomorrow the first rehearsal for the Japan trip will be. I hope I'll learn everything easily.
Moreover, the last week in my city in June starts. Let me prepare to the U.S.A.!
And the song of the day will be "Radioactive" by fabulous Marina And The Diamonds. When I heard it for the 1st time, I didn't like the song; but I listened to it one more time yesterday and fell in love.
Lying on a fake beach
You'll never get a tan
Baby I'm gonna leave you drowning until you reach for my hand
In the night your heart is full and by the morning empty
But baby I'm the one who left you, you're not the one who left me
[Chorus]
When you’re around me, I’m radioactive
My blood is burning, radioactive
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive
My heart is nuclear
Love is all that I feel
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive
Waiting for the night fall, for my heart to light up
Oh baby I want you to die for, for you to die for my love
In the night your heart is full and by the morning empty
But baby I'm the one who left you, you're not the one who left me
I've just run into one of my favourite songs "Secret" by my 3rd favourite band "OneRepublic" and it's given me inspiration. TSOTD
What's a secret? What does it mean? By the dictionary "secret" is something kept hidden or separate from the knowledge of others. But when you tell your secret to a person, and then the person tells it to other people with the phrase "Shhh, it's her secret", and everybody knows your secret, but you don't know they know, is your secret still a secret?
Why do people have secrets? Because of shame? And I don't talk about the crimes. I think, we have secrets because we're afraid of people's reaction, we're afraid to be laughed at or let down. For example, I hadn't tell to my friends about this blog for a long time till a friend of mine found it. So now it's not a big deal if someone from my environment reads it, I'm rather glad, but I still don't walk with transparencies shouting out "Hey, you! I've got a blog!". On the other hand another person, who wants his blog read, would promote it among the closest people, but not me. Or sometimes we hide something not to spark troubles.
In some cases we just don't want to tell information to people, mostly it happens when we're having bad mood. Having good mood we could tell the same things openly, but when we're 'behind a wall', it turns out like "no, it's not a secret, but I don't wanna talk about it, dude".
What the use of this stuff? I lead to my thought, that we should separate things we should always keep inside ourselves from the things which could help to get success with something, to show us to the world, but we're too shy to open them.
Today I've been on the wedding of the girl from our chorus. We congratulate her singing song for her and with her. She's been so beautiful and happy! I've come up with the thought I'll rock the fuck out at my wedding.
Also today my friend from the South Korea has had to come to our city, but I don't know if she's already here.
As I've said above, the song of the day today is "Secrets" by adorable "OneRepublic". You know the song's a soundtrack for some movies and series, one of them is "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" with legendary Nicolas Cage.
Today I'm a hero, because I've done big tidying up in my room. Yes! But yet no, because I haven't found my wire. Anyway, my room is clean, my window is clear, kindness is everywhere.
Last night I've watched "The Hangover: Part III", but I had to do it with Chinese subtitles. No, there was Russian dub, but also Chinese hieroglyphs brought their own vibe. I agree with the people who tell there're less jokes in the 3rd part, but I like the film and the whole story of the guys in any case. Bradley Cooper is sex. I hope there'll be the 4th part, even though they say "The Hangover" is a trilogy.
Tomorrow I'll have the last English lesson in this season, therefore I'm learning lots of words for tomorrow's tests.
Right now I'm gonna play The Sims 3 and make my girl drunk LOL
The song of the day will be a nice song "One O Six" by Jupiter. Get disco!
Yesterday it was a national day in Russia, and the chorus and I performed 2 times. The weather was hot, and I'd eaten badly, so I felt myself not so well in the end.
Today I've had a walk with my music friend, and I've found a good shoes in the shop, so I should go there once again, because I have an aim. I need fine shoes, not trainers, not flat sole and not high heels too. Something between and for travelling. So I've seemed to find them in "Columbia".
Tomorrow I'll have a big tidying up in my tiny room. It's a big thing for me, because I have a store rather a room. Fortunately, I have a goal to find my camera's wire.
I'm so nervous and excited, that I'll go to the USA in a week! But we still know nothing about our visas, and when we know, it'll be the time to fly! WTF, consulate?!
Also today is a great day for my dearest cat, because she has her 5th Birthday today! Yey! Even though she bites terribly, but she's amazing anyway :3
I love my cat ("I love that girl")
And the song of the day will be a song with a beautiful melody and a sad lyrics about a prostitute on drugs. So this song is "The A Team", which brought popularity to a fine British guy and nice singer Ed Sheeran.
As I planned, I've just finish reading "The Great Gatsby" by F. S. Fitzgerald, consistently ranked among the greatest works of American literature. I've read it easy, because in my oppinion the film coincides enough with the book. Of course there're some small interesting things, such as a fact that Tom's blond, a scene with introducing Daisy's daughter Pammy to Nick and Jay, dialoges between Nick and Jordan (she's actually blond too), a long episode of Gatsby's funeral and Carraway's thoughs after that. To tell the truth, the description of the funeral with my imagination has made me feel down. But I'm glad I've read it. I dare to compare the novel with Mikhail Lermontov's "A Hero Of Our Time", draw a parallel between these two books; after all, Jay Gatsby was a hero of the Jazz Age. The whole novel depicts the "Lost Generation" in a wonderful way.
Talking about the jazz, so the song of the day will be a beautiful song "Lullaby Of Birdland" by the Queen of Jazz Ella Fitzgerald. Why did she have the same surname as Francis Scott? I don't know, because the main thing here is the song.
Oh, lullaby of birdland that's what I
Always hear, when you sigh,
Never in my wordland could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you could tell me and just say goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love
Lullaby, Lullaby
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic music we make get from our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you could tell me and just say goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love
Coming back to our lost generation, so I've also watched the secong part of "The Hangover". It has many links to the 1st part, so probably it's the reason why many people like "The Hangover Part II" most: old jokes + new jokes = twice jokes. Maybe, I'll chance to go to the cinema for "The Hangover Part III", who knows...
And guys! Today's the Birthday of my Tumblr blog! It's been a year already since my hair started to bring mess into the world. Hey! :D
Today was better that I'd though, and it's all beacuse I had shopping-time today! And an amazing thing become mine is a book "The Great Gatsby" by Francis Scott Fitzgerald (now I'm imagining Tom Hiddleston as Mr. Fitzgerald from "The Midnight in Paris") with the poster of the film with the same name on the cover. And I bet you tomorrow I'll finish reading the book, because today I've already started, and now there's only 20 minutes left till tomorrow. So wait for the review!
Tomorrow I'll have my English lesson, what means I'll have some serious tests. Sure, it's not school, but anyway I don't wanna be a loser.
Last night I watched "The Hangover", the 1st part. I came up with the idea "At least, I should watch where [Vegas] I'm gonna be". Oh yeah, these guys are really great! Even though it was about 4 a.m., I couldn't help laughing. This night I'm going to watch the second part.
Talking about the U.S.A., so do you know how amazing my way there is? I'll go to Khabarovsk where I join my group, then we'll go to Beijin, spend there a night, and after that we'll fly to LAX. But today my mom and I were told, that there's another way - we have a chance to fly to Hong Kong instead of Beijin , but it all depends on the organizers and U.S. consulate still preparing our visas. Frankly speaking, I'd like to visit Hong Kong, although we'd spend there only a night in a hotel, but I've already been in Beijin and its airport, and seen it from the height of the sky. And I've not done it with Hong Kong. But I'd better end up with the thought that my final spot is LA, and we should rich it no matter how.
Today morning I decided to listen to and fall for an adorable song by country-queen Taylor Swift and red British guy Ed Sheeran called "Everything Has Changed". Yes yes, here am I, sweet vanilla Olga, easily jumping from "AC/DC" to Taylor Swift and back. But you know my obsession to British men, so deal with it. Welcome the song of the day with the cutest music video.
All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now
Know something now I didn't before
And all I've seen
Since 18 hours ago
Is green eyes and freckles and your smile
In the back of my mind making me feel right
I just want to know you better know
You better know you better now
I just want to know you better know
You better know you better now
I just want to know you better know
You better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
‘Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is we held the door
You'll be mine and I’ll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
And all my walls stood tall painted blue
But I’ll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you
And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind
Making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel right
I just want to know you better know
You better know you better now
I just want to know you better know
You better know you better now
I just want to know you better know
You better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
‘Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is we held the door
You'll be mine and I’ll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I’ve missed you all this time
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind
I just want to know you better know
You better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
‘Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name, everything has changed
All I know is we held the door
You'll be mine and I’ll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
All I know is we said hello
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a newfound brightness
All my days, I’ll know your face
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
~Be brave!~
P.S. Guess who became a mini-fan of Bradley Cooper?
A night with my friend went brilliant! We had much fun, watching films and singing our favourite songs aloud so loud.
The first movie we'd watched was OH MY GOD "The Great Gatsby". If I watched the film earlier I would write a big good post about it. But all the articles have been already written, so I have to say only that I totally fell for this movie, Leonardo DiCaprio played Mr. Gatsby so amazing, music's fantastic (yeah, you know). I've also always admired that time - the beggining of the XX century. I stop here.
The second movie we'd watched was "Limitless". What a cool film too! The plot's about magic pills making your brains work with all their power instead of regular 20%. I wish I had some those pills! But unfortunately they capture you like drugs.
I keep on telling everyone my awsome story about my travel to Vladivostok. Noone can believe I had to fly there only to make the finger-prints.
Soon our friend, ex-classmate Yulia will arrive here. Now she lives and studies in the South Korea, but on the holidays she visits her parents and us. Frankly I won't have a lot of time to spend with her, because I'll go to the U.S.A in some days after her arrival. And ouh, I'll depart exactly on her birthday.
And the song of the day will be a song by my favourite adorable Eric Saade. My friend and I sang it last night, and it perfectly describe us that time. Welcome "Sleepless"!
