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?

May, 8th, 2010 - TOELF
May, 20th, 2010 - IELTS.
2 weeks of English, shopping, taking pictures and my favorite McDonald's! Woo-Hoo!
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.

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!
P.S. And where's the hot water???

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...?
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!
And named it "Kyoto" - after Stan - who gave it to me.
Does anyone else want a white kitten? Stan has 2 more...
It's that simple!
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...
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

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? :)
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.

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!
Tomorrow's gonna be the "drunk" day - my high school classmate will have a Birthday.
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,
Annie
...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.
Congragulations on becoming proud parents!
