The Last Day Of Sakhalin Spring

Huh, I don't even notice what a month is outside, so I couldn't follow how the very end of May has come! I can't imagine it was the last spring in my hometown (I want to believe). Yeah yeah, 'who knows how my life will go', blah blah blah, I know. So I will try hard not to please you, beotches. AHAHAHA
Weeeeell, the day before yesterday, 29.05.2014, a final state exam for the Russian language was held. I was so self-confident before it, so I even tried making myself worry at least a bit about anything (yeah, some may wonder if I was totally mindless or what?). But after the examination itself I found something to be bothered about...

Bye-bye, School Life

My Internet lets me down these days, the most important days in my teenage life.

On 23.05.2014 as it had been planned my classmates and I had the Day of Childhood. The Day of Childhood is considered to be the last day of one's childhood and the start of the fully adult life. Usually that day is really funny and highly sentimental. So was ours. At two first lessons we handmade a paper medal for our parents thanking them for what they'd done for us. At the third lesson we visited the first form; little pupils performed a cute play for us, we sang some children's song together. It was so marvelous, cute and funny! Then we all together headed to our assembly hall to gather there with other 2 classes (or, to be more exact, with other 4 classes - 11th and 1st ones). We play several games, danced and gifted little symbolic presents to each other: we, seniors, presented each child a lucky balloon, and children gave us lucky coins. And then... the most epic thing in my life happened. The saddest song about leaving childhood playing, the first-formers was walking away still looking and waving at us. I kept my tears saving them for the next day.

I wonder if the Day of Childhood
was the reason I'd bought
the Minnie Mouse ears

I adore this photo! Just look at my face!

And the next day was one of the most important days of my life - the Last bell event itself. It was the day we finally said a farewell to our school. Actually I though I would cry a river over leaving my school. But I did not. I didn't cry!! BTW, I've never changed schools, so I attended this bureau of the hell patriotically for 11 years in a row. Well, of course it was so nervous, sad and exciting, because I gave a part of my life to it, I met my awesome friends there. But it's over for now, and somehow I end up thinking I'm glad this is the end. Looking back, I remember my friends me in the 7th or 8th grades wishing so hard for this school period to be done. Maybe days back it wasn't the same, but now my clear mind understand I won't miss those walls, my teachers (except some of my true favourites), those classes. But it's freaking pity we, friends, all have to say goodbye to each other. My people are the ones I will truly miss. Some of my mates are going to leave Russia for other places of the world, so I can only pray for Skype and other Internet powers. I hope we'll hook up during holidays, when we're all back on Sakhalin, so we shall see. All in all, leaving my guys is the thing I'll absolutely cry a river over.

Oh man, I look twelve!

and me in person

What about the event itself, so it was boring, sentimental, nice, so generally as it was meant to be. Our administration delivered speeches, we sang funny songs about our teachers and danced a waltz. Huh, the waltz was pretty fine, though my boy and I made a little mistake in the end. After all everybody was taking plenty of photos (you may notice, may not you?). But our celebration wasn't over with that. Even though it was raining and awfully cold, we headed to the country. Everyone took warmer coats, parents taking care of what we were supposed to eat, a big bus took us out of town. Some people decided to leave our superb party before others, but the most of my friends and I stood strong and cheerfully, so we survived the whole day, ate amazing food cooked on the fire, and so we all had fun. Our boys even grilled bananas! (see the picture below)

The tent we hid in

All Sunday (25.05.2014) I spent in my bed preparing to the first state finale exam - for literature. And on the next day I had it indeed. I couldn't believe I was having that state exam we all had been frightened of; I actually thought I was going to another Olympiad. The atmosphere was fine, but not strict at all. So I wrote everything, hopefully I got stuff I read and knew, so the exam was pretty ok for me. The results are gonna be received on about the 6th of June, so I deeply hope I'll be great.

Tomorrow I'll pass my second examination - for Russian this time. I don't worry much about it, because I've been prepared for it in a really awesome way, so I'm sure I'll do it easily. Well, I can't be too self-confident t also, but still I consider Russian as one of the easiest subject for me. BTW, I officially decided not to pass history. I won't write it, because I'm not so sure here about my knowledge in the historical field. And if I gain less than 60 points for history, so firstly, I won't cross a minimal threshold according my potential university rule, secondly, I won't get a special regional prize. All in all, I though hard and ended up making my life an easier thing. Sooo, wish me luck!

Oh, and the song of the day! This song is actually on my mind for the entire week or even more - "Say Something" originally by the band "A Great Big World" feat. Christina Aguilera, but I also listen to an amazing version by Pentatonix. Have the both!

Be brave!

P.S. 

Fancy Walk Of Fame

Currently all my days are super-exhausting, but today my mates and I have started a good deed! We've started painting a farewell sign on the pavement in front of our school. The signs painted in front of school and dedicated to favourite teachers is a tradition among many Russian schools. School leavers write something pleasant or draw something interesting, and I think our sign's gonna be a hit!

My friend and I came up with that idea after my travel to California. What is California known for? Film Industry! Hollywood, lots of studios and many points of interest connected with movies and celebrities. I wonder if you've already guessed what I'm leading up to. Of course, the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Dasha and I decided to present our class master his own star from the Walk of Fame. But I like the suggestion of my mom's - she offered to name our teacher's star the first star on our school's own Walk of Fame! Our school will be the first school with its own Walk of Fame, I believe. :D And our sign won't be just about a star painted and a couple of nice words. Our class master will be presented a certificate proving "the occasion of the placement" his star on our local walk of fame, like celebrities with their stars are.

So today we have only drawn the star with the chalks and painted the basics. But it looks great already! Though the star's a bit lame, but we've been painting it from the bottoms of out hearts! To my mind, our teacher will like it anyway.

Thanks to my OTR for the photo of myself

The funny thing was when my friends tried to convince me that the stars of the Hollywood Walk of Fame are red. LOL what? I was there myself, I saw the colour with my own eyes, beotches! Sure, the stars aren't that pink as we paint it, but we had no choice. So, in my humble opinion using pink paint is the rightest solution. Here I put some my personal photos of the stars (of those celebrities I found and recognized) to prove one more time.

Oh yeah, I'm a superb photographer, I know. So, the song of the day will be... I want it to be funny FANCY, so TSOTD will be the song "Fancy" itself by my beloved Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX. Enjoy!

Be brave!

Everything For 2 Weeks

Prologue

I've been writing this damn post for a whole week! This spring seems to make me kinda lazy about making my favourite stuff like writing posts or shooting videos. All I do this spring is laying around and shouting out about the exams coming.

Part One and Only

Although I've almost run out of my power, I strongly feel like writing a post. I'll do it chronologically, not to mix myself and all of you up.

Firstly, on more notice about the 9th of May. Surely, we performed that day for the veterans of the labor front. The veterans liked our concerts so much, but I was more interested in the place of the event itself. The restaurant we were in is considered to be one of the coolest in our city. Also, our parents examined this venue as our would-be restaurant for the graduating party (but it's too expensive). Ah, the place has a really bombast name - "Bounty Hall". But it has lots of big mirrors - you know what for. 

The next day, on Saturday, Cherry Lady and I went to our city park to get the Sun's warmth fully. Actually, I was so glad the weekend was simply amazing! Saturday and Sunday both were brilliantly warm (sometimes even hot), so I relaxed in a good way.

The next day, on the 11th of May, Dasha, our mutual friend from her company Kostya and I went off to the hills. And I went to the hills... on the heels! And wearing a skirt! I wonder if I was the first person who got there dressing up like this. But we all really enjoyed hiking, I immediately remembered how I hiked Hollywood hills. After that Dasha and I came to the cafe similar to "Starbucks", but it wasn't as pleasant as "Starbucks" itself.

Of course, the most exciting news of that week was the EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2014. Well, right from the start ("you were a thief, you stole my heart...") I didn't like the song "Shine" by our Russian representatives the Tolmachevy twins. The song is so mediocre, there's a billion songs like that. But I must admit their performance was nice and it brought the result - the twins reached the Grand final. But from the first time I fell for the song "Calm After The Storm" by the Netherlands duet "The Common Linnets". This song is so mine! I really feel like visiting the live performance of the band's or, at least, of any of its member, because the both singers are professional artists on their own. In the nutshell, I adore "Calm After The Storm", so it's gonna be your song of the day. My true winners.

On 14th of May my chorus and I had a really grand concert with many new songs and dance tricks by our friendly dancing band. I'd invented my class master, but unfortunately there was a meeting at school with the parents about our forth-coming exams, so of course he couldn't miss his job (though I though he would). But my friend Ilya chanced to visit the concert and I made him dance! Hell yeah! I don't have the photos from the event yet, but here some photos made by the friends of my mom.

With my mommy after the concert

There was a long photoset after the event too

And now all the senior students leaving school this year prepare for an important event of our life called the Last Bell, I've already written of it. And it's sooo freaking soon! The exact date of this sht is the 24th of May with the Day of Childhood on its eve. But still we're all mixed up about the part when we, the leavers, will sing to our teachers. Also we're almost done with our 'last school waltz' (though for some it's the first one at the same time). Our organizer drives our crazy telling different things to different classes; for example, she didn't tell our class to come to the rehearsal at Saturday, though 2 other classes learnt the end of the dance. WTF?! Anyway, I hope everything will be sort out and we all will be gorgeous.

Coming to the conclusion, I guess, it's all what I've wanted to write about, although shortened in a confusing way. Thanks for being patient and for simply being at all.

Be brave!

Victory Over Myself

On the Victory Day I fell like discussing about the word 'victory' itself. I'm not about war, but about our own little victories and achievements. What can we win? What should we win? At least, what should we fight for?
I guess, everyone has his or her own answer. Someone can't allow himself lose a bet, another one look for ways of wining a lottery. I always want to win some more time (even 27 hours a day would seem to be too little for me). Winning something is a motivation, it sparks some kind of excitement and passion. In some cases it definitely does.
To my mind, I should win myself. I should fight with the negative version of my inner woman to become a better outer one. I should gain a victory over my hobby to do everything at the last minute; it'd be nice to prefer books over online games; I should win my disposition to eat a lot of sweets and junk food and turn my lucid mind to body exercises and healthy dishes.
Yeah, you may notice, I have the same troubles as any other teenager around the world. But don't think it's just words in the web. I really try my best to bring some changes into my world. I've started with looking after what I put inside my body, and I hope it'll work!
So, I think people should win their own drawbacks firstly. And together each nation will become better, and we all will make up a nicer population of the Earth.
I congratulate y'all on the V-Day. Let's remember how our grannies made our world a peaceful place to live 69 years ago and try to keep this glorious peace for the future generations.

Be brave to become better.

Vampire Academy In The City

Today's weather is a drizzling sht, but it didn't prevent me from having a walk. Plus, with this walk I got my pinafore - an important part of the last bell event. Usually the last bell is celebrated on the 25th of May, but our one will be held on 23th, I guess, because this year the 25th is Sunday. On the eve of the last bell our school has a tradition to hold the Day of Childhood - the day when the seniors have the craziest fun dressed up like - you wouldn't believe - children, playing with primary school pupils and all that jazz. I hope we'll rock that place, dammit. And here's my whole dress for the upcoming last bell! My cat liked it as well :3

Also in the cosmetics shop I mentioned a fragrance with a weird name - "lol ;-)" by Lulu Castagnette. Yup, the box is really funny and - #OMG - lol, but the perfume itself is too sweet! Like they stuffed all the sweetest candies in the world, then shook it in a good way and added a fragrance booster. 

Yesterday I watched "Vampire Academy". If I weren't a pubertal 17-year-old girl, I wouldn't gave a thing about this movie. But yes, I am, and there is our Russian pride called Danila Kizlovsky in his sexiest, getting all the beotches down. And us with them. 

So, "Vampire Academy" is a story about two friends-not-human-beings and how they struggle with the dark side generally and the darkest side in our life ever - high school. A drawback of it all is that till the end of the movie you can't make out who the fuck is a dhampire, a moroi and a strigoi. So, before the world you know was like it is: there are vampires and that's all. Maybe, some original vampires - if you know what I mean. But Richelle Mead, the author of VA series, decided HELL NO and put the half of Romanian mythology under one cover. And don't forget to follow who defends whom, who eats whom, who is badass and who sucks.

Generally and honestly, it's not a super-great film as Harry Potter series or even Twilight saga (yeah, must admit). But still "Vampire Academy" is such a nice story with an obvious sequel. I would compare this story with "Rubinrot" (even IMDb recommends "Rubinrot" when you open "VA" page). The both movies are based on the books from the series that is all about to be filmed. And also I don't know when to expect the next part of "Ruby Red" or "Vampire Academy", but I know I'll be pleased watching both of them. 

Danila as Dimitri and Zoey Deutch as Rose.
Control your orgasms.

Our another pride - Olga Kurylenko
as Headmistress Ellen Kirova

Also I try to prepare for my exams which are going to start so soon SO SOON! I can't even image how nervous I'm going to be. So, be ready for the posts like "I'M GONNA DIE!" So.... be brave.

The song of the day will be one good old song "In The City" by Kevin Rudolf.

And once again - be brave! :3

P.S. 

One Less Siren

Right since the beginning of the week I've wanted to write a post here, but every freaking time it went like that:

But now it's freaking MAY MAAAY, I've got so many things to do, so many thoughts to write, so many studies to learn!
Firstly, I want to congratulate you on the 1st of May. We celebrate this day as the Labour Day, though no one works. Expect the entertainers, of course. So, our chorus has worked too. But thankfully to this holiday we won't study until the next week!

WHO DA BOSS HERE? I'm rocking

Than, if I'm not mixed up, on the 28th of April two of my favourites, Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea released a hit I fell for immediately. Of course, the song attracted me from the start with its title - "Problem". By and by I'll seem to have a collection with songs called "Problem" and "Trouble". But now this song and Ms. Grande and Ms. Azalea tells us a story not about a problem girl, but a problem boy! And how the main character can't help longing for him. This song doesn't have a music video yet, but it has a lyrics one, though I can't find it. But I can't stop stop admiring the first Ariana's performance with "Problem". And it's gonna be your song of the day #1.

[Iggy:]

Uh huh, it's Iggy Iggz

I got one more problem with you girl

Aye

[Ariana:]

Baby even though I hate ya

I wanna love ya

I got one less, one less problem

[Ariana:]

I gotta give up

But it's you you you

I know I shouldn't ever call back

Or let you come back

I shouldn't want it 

But it's you you you

Head in the clouds

You saying that you know

But I really really doubt you

Understand my life is easy

When I ain't around you

Iggy Iggy

Too biggie to be here stressing

I'm think I love the thought go you

More than I love your presence

And the best thing now

Is probably for you to exit

I let you go

Let you back

I finally learned my lesson

Either you want it or you just keep playin'

I'm listening to you knowin'

I can't believe what you're sayin'

Theres a million you's baby boy

So don't be dumb

But you won't be one

and realise that I've got

[Big Sean:]

One less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya 

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less, one less problem

One less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya

I got one less problem without ya 

I got one less, one less problem

[x2]

I had time to be a problem this week too! The day before yesterday I joked and laughed at my good friend, and went tooooo far. So he got offended (I bet he did), and I felt hurt too ("And I hurt myself by hurting you"). I felt myself SO RUDE, like I'd never told a nice thing before; like all I'd ever done was wrong and so bad; like I'd never been a good person actually. I felt so down. Of course, being too embarrassed to call, I texted him, and he answer it was ok, and he never got offended generally. But certainly I understood he was touched in a bad meaning of this word. I guess, it always hurts more, when you're hurt by someone you'd never expect, by someone who you suppose to be the best. And I want to believe I was that person for him.

As I'd planned my mom and I made my headdress for a new suit, but I won't put a photo here. Let it be a secret.

The next song I wanna share with you I found almost accidentally, because usually I don't like listening to stranger song on purpose (Ariana Grande's "Problem" isn't counted - I follow her on Instagram, so I'd been listening to the samples before the full release), but this time some power made me click on the YouTube video and watch the music clip for the song called "Sirens" by Cher Lloyd. In general, I know her works, I really like a couple of her songs, and one more time I was enticed by the title - "Sirens", so mystically... I haven't gone into the lyrics deeply yet, so I can't claim about its meaning a lot. But the music video is pretty dramatic though. And you may guess, it's your song of the day #2.

I carry the weight of you in my heavy heart

And the wind is so icy, I am numb

I carry the weight of you heading back to start

With the thousand eyes on me, I stumble on

I am tired, I'm growing older

I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah

I carry the weight of you

I carry the weight of you

Lay down here beside me in the shallow water

Beside me where the sun is shining on us still

Lay down here beside me in the hallowed water

Beside me with the silver lining stays until

The sirens’ calling

We follow the sun down low 'til we hit the night

And you hold me so tightly, it’s hard to breathe, oh

And I’m tired, I'm growing older

I’m getting weaker everyday, yeah

We follow the sun down low

We follow the sun down low

Lay down here beside me in the shallow water

Beside me where the sun is shining on us still

Lay down here beside me in the hallowed water

Beside me with the silver lining stays until

The sirens’ calling

The sirens’ calling

Yeah, I’m tired, I’m growing older

I’m getting weaker everyday

I am drowning, and you’re stealing every breath

Take me away and just

Lay down here beside me in the shallow water

Beside me where the sun is shining on us still

Lay down here beside me in the hallowed water

Beside me with the silver lining stays until

The sirens’ calling

The sirens’ calling

Be brave, my sirens

P.S. I've spent plenty of time outside today, so my face got burnt a bit. Now I'm red again, hi Sun, yo beotch.

P.P.S. Wanna sent special greetings to one my faithful reader, who missed the main (like the MAINEST) song of my today's concert and, therefore, didn't dance with me. Hi.
