A question that brings ears

A friend of mine wrote me today: "I hope you are doing well. You look beautiful. Are you happy?"

The last question brought tears to my eyes... Are you happy?

Сегодня моя подруга написала в письме: "Надеюсь, у тебя всё хорошо. Ты отлично выглядишь. Ты счастлива?"
От последнего вопроса потекли слезы... А Вы счастливы?

Being a dog killer

  • Nov. 24th, 2009 at 3:10 PM

I was driving home from work. The road was greasy, and I had to drive really-really slow (not more than 20 km/h). The girl was playing with a badger-dog, and suddenly the dog run away and stopped in the middle of the road. I beeped and pulled up, but as the road was really greasy, the car had been speeded for next 3 meters, and the dog happened to be under wheels. Holy cow, I got so scared and started to yell at poor crying little kid!
I still feel shocked and scared.
Everyone, please tell your children not to play on the roads, and hold your pets tight.

Ехала сегодня домой с работы. Дорога скользкая, поэтому ехала медленно - не больше 20 км/час. Девочка играла с таксой, внезапно собака выбежала и остановилась на середине дороги. Я бибикнула, начала тормозить, но из-за скользкой дороги машину протащило ещё метра три и собака оказалась под колёсами. Блин, я ужасно испугалась и начала орать на бедного плачущего ребёнка!
Мне до сих пор страшно и не покидает чувство шока.
Пожалуйста, объясните детям, что нельзя играть на дороге и крепко держите своих питомцев.

About love

In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. The only way of avoiding this was by deciding not to take that path at all.
-Paulo Coelho "Brida"

Всё очень просто: не хочешь страдать от любви - не люби. Единственный способ избежать этого - не вступать на эту дорогу вовсе."

Again - about hot water

I woke up this morning, and realized the hot water was running... What a miracle!
Is it because today is a holiday???

Speaking of hot water, my friend's heating system was turned off yesterday, and she's freezing at home, and she lives just 2 blocks away! What a country!

It is starting to snow!

  • Oct. 30th, 2009 at 4:54 PM

It seems like it has started to snow! Finally! There's nothing better than a good  snowy winter - and snow is surely the first sign of it. It is also a sign that it's time to get ready for Christmas and New Year - and to me it's the best time of the year. 

Speaking of holidays, I still do not have any idea for my Halloween outfit - and the holiday is tomorrow. Any ideas, guys?

I would really love to have snow here except there's STILL NO hot water there, it's been my third week without hot water, and I'm starting to get cold. If the snow comes this week, I'd get frozen at home! And they promised to fix the hot water pipe only in a week!!! What a country!

The college goes alright, and it makes my quiet busy with all the tests - but it's a good thing. 

So, waiting for snow...?

College

The college has started - and I'm excited. I was looking forward to having practice this school year - this meant going up to the north, wear hard hat and heavy boots, and get some interesting experiences. Mostly, I wanted to go through this once again - I still miss this good feeling I had in Chayvo.  And what I learned today was that we gonna have the practice next year - and it almost made me cry!

I really like being back to college - despite of all the tests and exams, it's a lot of fun, and I can't wait to learn many new things this year!

I have finally got my kitten, a cute white kitty-girl.
And named it "Kyoto" - after Stan - who gave it to me. 
Does anyone else want a white kitten? Stan has 2 more...

The end of the week

Friday morning started with headache even though there was NO drinking on Thursday - and it sucks.  

Mother's back from her vacation - I was not happy to have her back, but cried when saw her coming closer and closer in the airport bus - I have become too sentimental. Starting from next Monday, it's gonna be all the same again - getting up at 7.50, running to pick her up and take to work. It's a lack of my sleep, my fuel, my life...

I'm looking forward to weekends - to catch some sleep, cook a good dinner and help Mom with her garden. 

What are your plans for the weekend? 

P.S. This headache is killing me...

Being into politics

  • Oct. 13th, 2009 at 6:23 PM

I could hardly miss it and leave it without a comment: President Obama got a Nobel prize! - and I don't think he deserves that!

Americans say, "The last thing Barack Obama needed at this moment in his presidency and our politics is a prize for a promise."

Yeah, by now there are surely more callouses on his lips than his hands. A promise beautifully made raises hopes especially high: we will revive the economy while we rein in our spending; we will make health care simpler, safer, cheaper, fairer. We will rid the earth of its most lethal weapons. We will turn green and clean. We will all just get along.

As for the elections last Sunday, Medvedev's and Putin's team got most of the votes - I expected this but being a way too naive still believed that something would have changed. But not, everything's gonna be same in this *ucking country. 

That's definitely time to get ready and leave for the better.

World Cup Qualifying 2010 (South America) - Russia : Germany - 0:1 

</lj-embed>
Yes, we lost. We gave up. I was disappointed.

             Today is the election day - is anyone going to vote? I voted, but instead of really choosing someone, I messed the papers up. I woke up today and decided to take a shower. And guess what - there was no hot water! On election day! Do they still want me to vote for them? Damn it! More than that, they want to forbid us to use the Japanese cars and buy Russian and American ones instead - and I'm surely against it! I will never ever buy Russian car - until our people learn how to make cars, and not things that are killing people. As for the American cars - I love them, and I will get one when I'm in America, but what's the point in buying an American car and take it to Sakhalin? Am I missing anything? 
 

Oh, what about "Villabagio" as the name for the new club? :)

Wanna be back home

2006-2007, Santa Resort Hotel
I am lonely - I wanna go back home to a place where I've never been physically but has visited so many times in my dreams.
I know I will be comfortable there. People say home is where your heart is. 

And I know there's someone who's waiting for me. And this brings smile to my face and tears running down on my cheeks. 

It's what callled "happiness".

* * * * * * * * * *
Happiness is the true awareness of the beauty of every moment of life and being able to be thankful for every moment even when things are difficult or sad or scary. It is knowing that just to be alive is a wonderful thing full of opportunities to experience new things and to grow more an more every day. And maybe most importantly, to be able to share those moments with someone special that you really care about.
It is not about having material things or being rich, although that can be really fun. It is about loving life and knowing that no matter what you have or don't have; what ever you can or can't do; you are alive and experiencing the wonder and beauty of life and that your attitude is what really depends on how good your life is and how much you enjoy it.

On its place

People often ask if I like what I do. Answering this to all of you, I say, "Yes. Yes, I do. I truly enjoy what I do - my job is something I have never thought or dreamed of, but it had become more than a job - it's a hobby. I love to get up every morning and drive to work, and and love to work with all these papers and talk to people."
 

I also like my other job that allowed to meet so many wonderful people. 

To me, there's nothing worse than going to a place you hate and doing things you don't like - every morning - 5 days a week - terrible! 
 

I believe, evryone's on their places - and enjoying what you're doing!
 

G'night!

It keeps raining, and I'm looking forward to winter, Christmas, New Year, Santa, Christmas tree and presents. I love this cold season. :)

Everyone - have good weekends!

Keep in touch,

Scared personnel - The club will be closed

  • Oct. 1st, 2009 at 3:25 PM

Again - speaking of the club. We all saw the schedule for next month. We all expected the repairing for 2 weeks and made plans like catching some needed sleep, spending money in shops and having home parties. We really liked the idea of this 2-week vacation. 

...Until we saw the schedule. It said, "The shutting of club project" - and then the last 2 parties. That's when we started to feel concerned. We kept smiling, even celebrated the Katty's B-Day, but felt scared inside. We tried to get explanations. No results. 
We do not know what to do. Is it really the end?

UPD: Here's the answer: http://vkontakte.ru/club10046830. I wish we all could hear this in person instead of getting news like this online from social network...

As of the other things, Mother's still on vacation in Khabarovsk, and I moved to her apartment for this time - so everyone's invited for dinner on weekends.
