You know, the thing you do when really don't want to get older? No? just me than. bbc world news was the only thing in english on 100channel TV in a hotel, which we would run in a morning as part of our b-fast-shower-make up routine. Ech I already miss you, Paris.<br />Anyway, well spoken voice was trying to persuade to write a book in a month. Not a book - a novel.<br />Blog essentially is a novel. A novel of your life. And my life is my work. Mostly not by choice. Now, life of lithuanian girl reaching for the stars might not be most interesting read, but coloured with irony, struggles at work and hopeless lovelife - might be a nice memory to read. Nice might not be the word here though.<br />

What's your preference on them? Paper, audio or electronic? Fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, erotic, romantic novel, travel, biography etc.?<br />
I have funny attitude to books. I very rarely enjoy fiction novel or actually any fictional literature. I do believe that the one should read book just so to learn something, get brand new knowledge or information. Travel guides - perfect, economic analysis books - great, a novel - isn't it a time waste? I'm not sure if this strong believe came from teen years of mine when literature lessons required a lot of reading. So did history lessons. Don't understand me wrong - I'm friends with books ( far from Bff though :)). But all that reading of neurotic, depression infused and all grey painted world depicted Lithuanian writer's books would bore me to death. Yes we had to read some of world classics as well, but not a lot of them were interesting for a teenager. So I would do aaaaaall that reading and only very few books that I would found interesting. It was different with history, mostly because I'm madly interested in subject. So loads of reading would just realize or explain why, it would open box of secrets . I would not mind dig more to find out more. Therefore I would read to learn. Now - with literature I probably read to realize what author wanted to say a.k.a 'learn about life'. Only life in literature books were so much different from life of mine or anybody's around to tell the truth. Also so many authors so many different values and exposures to life. With the time I learnt that life is easier to learn while experiencing it. (tadah!). Besides possibility that the one will get a book with some ( or any actually) depth in it, something that would make u seriously think is quite low these days. Yes sex and city or eat pray love are <s>great</s> good, entertaining movies and probably based on as good books. Still I go cinema when I want entertainment and read book when want to learn something. If I some shallow reading i grab magazine - I love them!, also use them to learn bout cosmetics and beauty. Can't deny - I did read couple fictional books last year (hey throw a stone if u innocent), for my defence I was on my beach holiday and that novel about hookers life was really involving. But I this was more because internet, tv or radio was not on reach. I didn't get any though out of it ( well my considerations on hooker's life does not really count - not gonna become one any time soon anyway). <div>So there - that's my excuse to myself why I haven't read as many books as wish or intelligent young person should! Haha on the other hand I just realised I do not any other form of book than paper.And by <i>just</i> I mean two audio-books and one 200page pdf file download later.</div><div> Maybe I'm just<s> pointing out</s> notice that book reading is dying as a way of entertainment.</div>catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-63115082917195081222010-11-04T01:06:00.000+00:002010-11-04T01:06:59.410+00:00rain and signsI do like rain. Preferably not 200 days a year. Love to travel in car while its dark and raining ( ha - i don't have driving license yet, that's why). Especially if its long journey. Like the one we would often make to my grandparents, while i was still kid or teenager. In a dark, kids crushed in the back of the car and half a sleep. Easy vehicle swinging and lights ahead in the rain in absolute dark. (coz of course travelling at late night). And you know cheap long journeys from uk or Norway to Lt or similar when 3 nights and 2 days u spend with other couple people in same car. No shower. No entertainment. Just sleep. And when u do awake u just watch the road. I secretly love those travels. Because there is no other feeling like u half asleep watching car lights travelling in rain. You try to absorb the beauty, but all u know : its dark and u moving. Its such a calmness and cosiness.<br />
I guess rain is always nice as long as its on the other side of window :)<br />
<br />
I could never tell when guy/person honestly likes me and flirts back and when its just part of his personality or ''fun and chat at work'' thing. Could not read signs with ginger guy, was having doubts about Tomek. Than quite strange relationship with Mat. Until now i'm not sure if there was spark between us or just ordinary girl - boy friendship frustration. ( i will skip frenchman coz he was Very obvious) Than i did not read Camil's signs correctly. gosh i had such a crush on him and thought he just playin around as much as with other girls. Honestly if not his girlfriend, i would get together with my darling Camil. Oh and lets not forget latest one - night porter. he is such a chat and charmer. So of course i enjoyed attention and daily compliments not thinking a lot about it. He was calling every second girl - gorgeous after all!. How do i supposed to know he actually gonna look at me with puppy eyes later on and almost beg to go out with him. Now he's almost angry coz i said no, no compliments for me any more :(<br />
(I've also just realised that most of my flirts happening with taken guys -WTF?)<br />
So how I supposed to react now when a new boy just stated he agrees with my colleague that we would make a (perfect was the word?) couple?!. clearer signs, boys, please!<br />
I mean: yes, i was flirting with him quite heavily, yes i tease him a lot , but i also thought i made him understand i'm not interested straight after i found out he's 3 years younger. besides didn't he like the other lithuanian girl? ech those boys.catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-11576308779864259102010-07-18T13:23:00.000+01:002010-07-18T13:23:09.557+01:00BackstabbingTo dream about being back stabbed, even almost coincidently, is never good, right? Dream was about knife and my sore back, but made me bit scared and just reminded i should keep my eyes always open , u don't know who might hurt u. It makes u count ur friend again and value them, not to take them for granted. What one dream and one sore back can do !<br />
On the other note - I'm not drinking black tea and limited amount of coffee because i'm afraid to be addicted. My mom was. I never knew that until grow up, always thought that morning monster in kitchen looking for coffee was normal, that raised voice when coffee tin is empty happening in every home and is a ''norm''. She was addicted and now i'm scared to be. (Ok ok black tea is out of ratio because it makes ur teeth go yellow as well). I once read (in proper smart blog or magazine) that making things opposite how and what ur parents did is normal growing up phase. But once u real adult ( like >25 i imagine) is not acceptable and counted as being childish. But maybe its just learning from other's mistakes. U learn that u can get addicted to coffee, by seeing addicted people, their behaviour. Maybe u just using ur growing up experience to improve urself. We do that constantly in our professional life. Nothing wrong use that in ur out of work behaviour, right?<br />
Or maybe i'm just still childish.catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-20691175306457643502009-12-29T19:31:00.000+00:002009-12-29T19:31:14.947+00:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SzpQqvVwNdI/AAAAAAAAA_s/BSVPqqW5WZA/s1600-h/facilities_Gym_Main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SzpQqvVwNdI/AAAAAAAAA_s/BSVPqqW5WZA/s320/facilities_Gym_Main.jpg" /></a>Here I go. Started to work on my new years resolutions a while ago. Step 1: Booked contemporary dance classes at the dance base for every friday, for 3 months. I know, i know sounds posh and pricey. But in the end I am bit posh and like nice, professional things, and am pretty sure that's what I'm gonna get at the best edinburgh's dance school. Hopefully will work on my motivation. Contemporary dance - who would think. Just thought I'm wayyyy not fit enough for hip hop or jazz dances, but to be fare - it was difficult to decide. After all Latin dances are one of my favourites also.<br />
Anyway there is step 2 as well : one year contract with posh gym chain. its just 15min from my flat and looks realy nice, have a biiiig swimming pool and sauna. And just look tidy and spacious with new equipment. Again - princess have her needs :)) which come with the price. Or pricey debit of my account every month . On the other hand when alredy put so much money in i will feel guilty do not go to sweat them out. I know i'm lazy, but on 2010 i aint gonna be. My gym induction tomorrow. Nervous, but cant wait.<br />

And i wrote, just recently somehow used paper version of blog :) I just wanna remeber all those miraculous days i had. And even i occasionally watch my rannoch pics (again) with good memories and sad face, coz i miss people. And, yes there were many oweful things, which somehow i manage do not remember. All i have in my memory is parties, barbeques with people whom i become close with, friends, flirts, a lot of flirts. kisses, both : wanted and rejected. tears when people leaving and confusion when everything starts from begining. i still remember when i came back from scotland after 2006 summer, after my orgnic carrots girls split up - i told myself thats probably my best summer. now i can say that about last summer. And i wish, oh how i wish i could say that about summer that just started. i know myself- someday in late autumn i will sit with those parties pics and will think i was having good time with these people. And i wanna remember all the stuff: probably flirt with american boy, me and Aniko having million pots of coffees in her changing places, parties with my super-ego, exsupervisor, which now is cool club friend, ginger guy's beatbox, my b-i-a-tch, the hungerian girl i love to have laught with. strange after-work drinks with indians and even tibor dancing. the times, when fredi used to ask me out. whole month.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SGzjGrMlxXI/AAAAAAAAAsM/PDkyoKX_Gzk/s1600-h/SDC10712.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218795772029814130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SGzjGrMlxXI/AAAAAAAAAsM/PDkyoKX_Gzk/s200/SDC10712.JPG" border="0" /></a> and i still said no. the baby chef that thinks he is cute/grown up, who monika had eye on. ah . laught at work. and now i'm thinkning about leaving all this?<br /></div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div>Anyway since my sister in town i just somehow dont let myself be lazy at all. again got that passion to travel to my plans. i mean i always had passion. just winter is not really time to do that. Kirkcaldy great me quietly. with kitties on a window of their gallery/museum. did u know that kirkcaldy is famous for linoleum factory?<br />And i loove that i still remember how places looks like. let's say dundee's shore walk benches looks really similar to kirkcaldy's and it's no-colour brick fence looks alike to the one i saw in aberdeen. the little town by itself cute but my spoilt eye nothing special.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SGzmIul_2hI/AAAAAAAAAsk/WtkD3fyxCIk/s1600-h/SDC10794.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218799105836309010" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SGzmIul_2hI/AAAAAAAAAsk/WtkD3fyxCIk/s200/SDC10794.JPG" border="0" /></a> just <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SGzmH0Pdz0I/AAAAAAAAAsU/AZKTuAyCThk/s1600-h/SDC10719.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218799090172546882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SGzmH0Pdz0I/AAAAAAAAAsU/AZKTuAyCThk/s200/SDC10719.JPG" border="0" /></a>cosy and calm with high st<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SGzmICk6Q8I/AAAAAAAAAsc/KxTCdjZ8JL8/s1600-h/SDC10743.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218799094020588482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SGzmICk6Q8I/AAAAAAAAAsc/KxTCdjZ8JL8/s200/SDC10743.JPG" border="0" /></a>reet similar to perth's. or in all smaller places in scotland its look alike? Dysart is another topic. even thought in map and tourist information they advice to go for some kind of castle, small exfishermen village many times cuter and eye catchy. with huge open park and sea shore, where i actually stuck my feet in bloody-cold water! maybe its weekday or its not popular destination even for locals the place was quiet. few kids fishing, and few dog-walkers, thats all i met. very tidy, seems just reconstructed walks, they even have some museum, and ridiculously small town hall with tooo overpriced shop in it, as well as playground for kids on a hill facing sea. </div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SGzmIul_2hI/AAAAAAAAAsk/WtkD3fyxCIk/s1600-h/SDC10794.JPG"></a> </div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div> </div></div></div>catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-57585628241199797962008-06-10T12:04:00.000+01:002008-06-10T12:05:56.444+01:00booze knwledge<a href="http://www.oneplusyou.com/bb/booze" style="color: #8A7A70; text-decoration: none; display: block; width: 158px; height: 94px; padding-left: 65px; padding-top: 128px; background: url(http://www.oneplusyou.com/q/img/bb_badges/booze.jpg) no-repeat; font-family: Times New Roman, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; font-weight: bold;">76%<span style="display: block; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; font-family: Arial;">LUSH</span></a><div><a href="http://www.oneplusyou.com/q">OnePlusYou Quizzes and Widgets</a></div>catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-84188674368591357932008-06-09T12:37:00.005+01:002008-06-09T13:24:14.992+01:00Paris/leith festival/rush<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SE0f8Kpn2CI/AAAAAAAAAqw/JzJNi9hTVKk/s1600-h/SDC10172.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209855462449076258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SE0f8Kpn2CI/AAAAAAAAAqw/JzJNi9hTVKk/s200/SDC10172.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://s299.photobucket.com/albums/mm311/Ieva_M/Paris%20-%20the%20magic%20city/?action=view&current=SDC10172.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;">Don't ask how was Paris.

And even though I'm not really into that culture, it was good to remember my mad bout rap times and be jealous for guys doing that amazing tricks. Although there was some falls. more than some, but anyway. I'm still quiet fan of breake dance. Seems its obvious that after breake theater group performance i saw in Paris anything would look very amateurs. But the group that was performing on Sunday were good. really good. (don't know what girls were doing on scene, though). more imagination good PR and they can go far. Skaters were other thing i was (almost) drooling about. I remember enjoying skating while teen, thought hadn't did that for long time. And bit scary knowing my balance ( or it's nonexistence). Soundtrack of event was the cool stuff. maybe Dj not most talented but got tracks that i just love and they fitted there and than. Almost all lyrics, if there were such , were rollin' in head. And Rory was good. Well honestly didn't like first part, but all other stuff he was doing, controlled the people there.<br />However surrounded by couples from time to time feel myself dying from wish to have hands that would wrap me. with condition that from time to time means almost every day. Oh well all guys now having exams or sitting in pubs watching football. or both. Anyway we going out on Tuesday. leaving party. not so sad bout people coz: 1. not so long time ago met them. 2. girl - polish (i know , i know, but i don't trust them), guy gets too crazy ( not in good way at all) when drunk.<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>To do list:<br /></strong></span><span style="font-size:85%;">call Rasa<br />write my sister, look for a job for her<br />decide what i want THIS summer, and actually start to DO something<br />write Neringa<br />write bout Paris, that wouldnt forget all that magic and tragedy.</span></div></div>catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-80268422159642033402008-06-06T23:36:00.001+01:002008-06-06T23:40:35.268+01:00Movie<strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418455/">Adams Apples </a></strong>- very goodcatch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-74338953438036927352008-05-13T15:55:00.004+01:002008-05-13T17:21:53.627+01:00ah...<div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199880445586780386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SCmvtxGzMOI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/0iawTk0sfUw/s320/img6.jpg" border="0" /><span style="font-size:85%;">Real spring behind window, and real relax in this side of window :) chocolate ice cream, coffee, that taste awfully ( just now remember i don't like coffee actually), cosmopolitan (magazine, not a coctail) , pop music loud on radio and empty house. What else i could ask for my lazy days off? Ok ok don't go to details, coz could print like thousand lines list. So much happened recently and as usually i am to f***ing lazy to write down every little constantly. I'm having weird dreams last few days. Like today i woke up with idea why i don't read and analyze text anymore. U know like in school. Even met my literature teacher in middle of dream, so realistic; she couldn't pronounce R , but sounded not french at all, just like in reality. Anyway she's amazing personality and as much as i didn't like her while in school , now want to visit her when someday <span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#999999;">comeback, come,<span style="color:#000000;"> go</span></span> to Lithuania, and say that for her.

So since i slept over my Falkirk festival ( came back from work 2am) was working all week till these amazing in all meanings 4 days off in a row. But on Monday had time to go to <a href="http://www.lemondehotel.co.uk/hotel/shanghai-edinburgh-night-club.html">Shanghai</a> again. Didn't appreciate R'n'B in dance floor at beginning , but more cocktails done their work. :)) Wednesday was the best coz friend who havent seen for half year came for shopping day in Edinburgh. Weather was gorgeous as all week, so great occasion get red tan on my back and shoulders, isn't it? Ach girls day in a city with lots of laughs and gossips, memories from <a href="http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/rannoch/kinlochrannoch/index.html">rannoch</a> and first time me being guide of the city. Jealousy for new Lindsay's <a href="http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/423739?camp_id=ppc_esv_sale&source_id=esearchvision">camera</a> made me decide have one as well. And i will ! just before Paris affair :) Generally almost all week spend in work and <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=west%20princes%20gardens%20edinburgh&rls=com.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GZHZ&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi">west princes gardens</a> enjoying sun, fresh air, smell of just cut grass, Spanish songs and becoming green from jealousy for happy couples.<br />I had a <a href="http://princess-ieva.livejournal.com/12173.html">promise for myself</a>. Some climbing, code name 'Arthur seat'. Done. 15 min. easy peasy. But view. AH.... </span><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;">Was in <a href="http://www.rbge.org.uk/">Botanic gardens </a>as well. Ah real oase of nature in middle of city. Of course if skipping that part that i'm not really interested what leaves growing here next to rock or which family this bush is from. Few nice puddles for birds,plenty of benches for old boned ones, loads of friendly ( as long as u have nuts for them) squirrels, and smell of conifers. The one i really missed. Just bring that sense u really in nature, u 'at home', even kinda remind me yearly vacations in only Lithuanian beach town. relaxation. Oh and it have great view of city from the hill ( full of kids shouting and running to their spaceships :)) very expensive cafe small glasshouse, which part of them can't be entered without opening ur wallets. Anyway tropical house really convincing: humid (breathing don't look such an easy action there) and palm trees high with 3 floor or even more, that coconuts probably would look so small u didn't even want to try it. Somewhere in between glasshouses is room with exposition of architecture(?) + open workshop for kids + some old school music instruments( to try staff patience). Guess its unusual and worth attention, but at the moment personally myself was more concern to find loo (ooops), so can't say a lot bout it. Entrance free. open as remember till 19pm. Worth to visit. Actually i noticed Edinburgh one of those city full of green areas spotted in whole city. Parks, playgrounds, gardens, not only in city centre. I love it. Not many cities have this ( or they hiding it!)<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">Oh and yesterday. OH yesterday ! sexy massage from friend and El barrios. Best to shake off ur bad thoughts. As once i told my colleague : i don't really like guys there ( don't take it too absolute or racist), so i don't care how i look like = amazingly free dances. And Anikos ex colleague - to boost self esteem. Even stroll home after, which usually not so so comfy in my 'shiny shoes', didn't bother so much as it was good weather and funny guys aside, and of course alco in blood. <a href="http://ccfinancialsolutions.org/images/ist2_384368_confused.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 137px; CURSOR: hand" height="159" alt="" src="http://ccfinancialsolutions.org/images/ist2_384368_confused.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Almost didn't forgot my lil sister coming for summer job ( probably) as well as my favourite lithuanian girl.

I don't know what: the fact that stuff are really nice or that u get nice offers for a wide variety stuff that all girls love to choose from :) lingerie. But most charming is the fact that every ur purchase they wrap in deep pink colour wrapping paper. looks just sooooo chick. soooo me. Call me vain, but I do care about the packing of products. Just when read in </span><a href="http://www.littlebrown.co.uk/Title/9781405503570"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">'The Undercover Economist' </span></a><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">could finally step trough barrier and buy food products of cheap lines ( u know the ones like tesco or asda's rice, sauces and blah blah blah, we have maxima's production like that back in Lithuania) Coz its the same food, just for those who can't afford <strong>anything</strong> more expensive. Anyway my point was - all those stylish bottles of shampoo or funky/chick/urban elegant packages of any other stuff attracts my eye thousand times more than boring ones, or unmatched coloured ones. Sometimes even feel really sorry that have to buy high quality, lets say body lotion, in one of most </span><a href="http://www.eucerin.co.uk/dry_skin/10_urea_lotion.asp"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">ugliest designed bottles </span></a><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">. And i'm just one of millions consumers. Not a victim of adds or smth. though, coz usually i just look at those stylish packed things with one of those 'why can't u be mine' or 'oh u are so beautiful i could just buy u right, here right now' stares, but usually (which means i also have weak moments, or paydays :) ) don't buy. Its simply i like pretty stuff (translation : as i said - I'm vain).<br />Wednesday was a good day. i mean night. goood night. Tired, faraway ( just i manage to leave my ipod at coffee house that closes in 5 min, thanks Nero on Lothian road staff ;) ) and bit pissed off coz of Aniko. Even though her watch is set half an hour ahead, she always late. usually late more than me. bastard. But there was salsa! yummy one hour just flew away so fast while trying to manage that 2 and half turns and crossed mambo steps. And what a good feeling when u finally do it right ! Almost forgot it since the last dance lessons in high school. For a few hours after still could hear teachers '<em> and again and again'</em> with lovely (spanish?) accent. Later on or should i say true - after salsa lesson jumped to bus and hurry to fire (Beltane) festival, where met other hungerian people and wander around till the rituals started. Its quite cool. Everything based on Celtic culture. In ancient times Celts got 4 quarters as a calendar, instead of 12 months, so when each quarter turns into another one, they celebrate with special ceremonies. As i know Beltane is most important one. Anyway saw all those groups of people in red, blue, green and seems grey ( And when i mean '<em>in'</em> i mean covered in paints) , also their ancient ''camps'', drank hot chocolate, and tightly fit into crowd of Spanish, french and polish people (where the hell all scotish were??). Can i just mention that those half naked /most of the time- </span><a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/images/2005/05/310790.jpg"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/images/2005/05/310790.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">almost naked / guys (planty of girls as well) with painted bodies was as pleasure for eyes as all that festival. And drums....omg drummers were amazing! Havent heard such good rhythms for a long time. wouldn't even call that stuff they played old stylish, maybe they modernised that? well to be honest drums music were amazing mainly on a main show. after hour u could hear them in few separate places, but it was rather monotonous base to create atmosphere than treat for ears. All event was awesome but bit disorganized, got lost after main part where to go, what to watch now. Everything happened at the same time.<br />Can't imagine how calton hill looked next morning, coz rain was just pouring like out of bucket. Had walk home for 15 completely soaked. oh and such showers where 'attacking' every few minutes and stops as quick as started. What can i say ...Scotland.<br />Recently got loads of business related with post. Including posting present for my mum, as mummies day in Lithuania happened to be on first Sunday of May. Which can be not so nice if u live in country, lets say UK, who sits calm now, coz brought all flowers/cards/chocolates for mums like two months ago. And now there's no signs that such day exist at all, which can be bit shocking to remember that totally accidentally on Thursday after work (god bless hospitality with all its non-office work hours) and organise send gift at the very same day. Didn't wanna be late, coz post in Lithuania dont work on weekends, and it takes 1-2 days package even to go there. Good daughter *proudly stroking head*<br /><br />And i really shouldn't stay up so late, so going to enjoy my new gorgeous burgundy red bedding. Am i crazy if buying such things even when I'm just renting a room?<br />night night </span>catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-19550446325327414272008-04-29T01:30:00.011+01:002008-04-29T03:29:36.955+01:00summa'sun,summa'sun...<p><span style="font-size:85%;">.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SBaCTmG018I/AAAAAAAAAp4/SsStPN1OiIY/s1600-h/Salvador-Dali-Raphaelesque-Head-Exploded-15001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194482493376747458" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 176px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px" height="233" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/SBaCTmG018I/AAAAAAAAAp4/SsStPN1OiIY/s320/Salvador-Dali-Raphaelesque-Head-Exploded-15001.jpg" width="205" border="0" /></a>..used to sing Paris and Nicole.

I know i shouldn't watch that evil tele-vision, but after work sometimes it prepare u faster for bed than anything else. Anyway, all i wanted to mentioned, that those girls wining, pretend to be mummy girls, laughing in inappropriate time and places, but they still do what they came for. if its fishing in stinky water - they fishing ( one of most disgusting stuff i found -was all day do enemas for people,that want to loose weight). I don't know if they doing that most because of money, or to advert themselves, but how many of u would spend day in animals shit ? This time i don't have in mind people that chose, lets say farmers life, no. I'm asking person that everyday use ipod, don't skip sunbathing and cry a little when fake nail comes off.

To organise going to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">latina's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">rhythms the same evening</span>, ask your friend to bring not just her ass here but ''any summer top'' (a phone order sounded exactly like that) for me and dance, romp, shake <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ur</span> ass off till knees drop. Even though i was after work- not in best condition in shorter. Anyway there were few minuses as well. seems <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">DJ</span> of <a href="http://http//www.elbarrio.co.uk/">El barrios </a>knows the some tracks very well. but why to play the same songs for 3 times per evening. i mean every track. every track that we had already heard week before, and than week before. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">boooooring</span>. (unless u like us had three shots in a row ;)) And we just wondered with my dear <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Hungarian</span> friend why its quite empty in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">da</span> club on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Fridays</span>. Of course being in hospitality business means u don't know how clubs looks like from inside on weekends, but thought <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">friday</span> is 'hot' night. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">isn't</span> it?</span> On the way home called emergency for some unknown guy. It was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">sooo</span> funny ( just because the end is good). Anyway if u somewhere from UK so u know those uncomfortable benches in bus stops. While we were waiting for that unreasonably expensive night bus with still big noises in our heads, some guy with some junk food in hand came and sit on that bench. nothing suspicious, i even really think we looked more drunk than him. after few moments he just felt from bench and when i mean felt - i mean just like boneless doll or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">smth</span>, he <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">actually</span> kissed pavement with his nose. Luckily nothing was bleeding and despite looking like totally <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">unconscious</span> he was moving his hand with burger, probably was still hungry :) My dear <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Hungarian</span> friend gave me phone with connected emergency,as she blame she couldn't understand what that sexy voice guy asking her. While i tried to concentrate not to talk <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">nonsenses</span> on phone my friend was starting to panic, but luckily that woke up poor guy. Ambulance guys get him from the ground finally, while shared sorry for our all missed buses and made jokes about guys 'subway' snack. As i said- it was funny. By the way long time i couldn't understand why the hell word 'ambulance' written from right to left on those cars. and just recently find out its for other drivers. trough the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">mirror</span> u see correct word. Well, can't blame me on this, i have never had driving car ( except those few times on shitty village road and in cow field :))<br />Anyway in occasion of hard work deserved those 4 days off. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">today's</span> plan : being lazy and watch lots of movies at friends place probably with bottle of white wine and chocolate...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">mmmmm</span>..... maybe send few postcards, as i kinda </span><a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/user/iewutka"><span style="font-size:85%;">promised</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">.</span>catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-75731050279491886982008-04-03T02:04:00.008+01:002008-04-11T19:23:07.294+01:00First Wednesday of April<span style="font-size:85%;">Wednesday - i had to turn on spelling check to write this word .<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lol</span> =) i live in UK one year and still don't know how to write it. Just because for me it makes no sense how word is made.<br />Anyway the day was F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. Even though i had to wake up quite early when had to start work just at 5pm. And if i knew that in hairdressing salon they will wash head with all stuff: conditioners, shampoos blah blah, wouldn't wash by myself in a morning, while was trying to open my eyes. So now I'm short hair. Probably shortest that i ever had. It's quite miserable when hairdresser keeps part of your hair in her hand. Major part. Major part that is cut out. By the way if <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ur</span> pockets quite full or u couldn't really afford but decide to save in case of food price visit </span><a href="http://www.cheyneshairdressing.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">cheyenes</span></span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">. How cool is that after booking u can check out there how your hairdresser will look like. I won't hide i chose that place just <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">coz</span> looked busy, stylish youth place , at least from those glimpses i took while passing by million times after work. And there are at least 5 hairdressing saloons in my street, but who wants to go to some shabby <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">indian</span>/polish place? Not me!<br /><br />Anyway after leaving the place not so heavy head and pockets gone to park. Had some nice soup and guys (showing off) i mean football in front of my eyes. Sun,which seems even slightly burned my face. Than phone talks with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Aniko</span>, who was standing just few metres ahead but called me to ask what kind of ice creams i want.<br /><br />At work one couple told me that my accent - french, was flattered.

And spinning head don't disturb for you at all to remember last nights wildness in club. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">This time, or should i say yesterday, we checked out </span><a href="http://www.luluedinburgh.co.uk/"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Lulu's</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">. What can i say - Awesome! Of course i prefer not student night's, coz majority of that crowd were younger than me ( and I'm just 21. not the best time to feel old) Despite the fact it was just two of us going this time, we had great time. And honestly if I'm going out to have wild dances, i prefer girl as a companion,just because that way u feel more brave for a guys hunting. This time i was with my dear friend. Male one. And ladies, if u going with just with one guy-friend, to catch something almost impossible. Unless u simply hang urself on one of the guys necks :)<br />Its because of two reasons: u don't want to leave ur friend alone. And some mysterious guys respect for each other make them 'just watch but not touch' . Damn it ! But dance floor we left just for loo or shots brakes. wild wild wild.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">Anyway club is real style oasis, place for chicks to gather, oh and they have light-floor in dance area,thats fun. No boring grandpa's sweaters, or hippie's accessories, or ( sorry but have to say) short annoying Indians with their moustaches. And sooooooooooo many cute guys. and when i say cute i mean SEXY as hell. all with stylish haircuts, tall and mostly cool stylish. i mean in dance floor u actually don't need to scan area to find guy u would go with, 98% of them u would go with. And i remind u - I'm picky one. Well probably would be just lucky night, but beside great dance music ( for those who want some serious deep house or real Latina rhythms - not really 'That' place, but fun sexy disco, fiery Latino favoured ice-cool electronic and chic-new-wave contagious sounds - guarantied) and hot guys ( girls was fifty- fifty: some of them would die to change places with, some - gosh, did u just came from knitting evening?) the drinks promotions are real sin to refuse. We all night sipped ( if u can call one glass /per 5min speed- sipping :)) red bull+ double vodka = £2.5, shots = £2, wouldn't expect in such fancy place. Oh and the entry fee bought off when i found 20 pounds in girls toilet in the beginning of evening. I'm honest or was already tipsy, asked those few ladies if they lost anything. Nobody seem felt that way. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">Did i mention- the best parties are unplanned ones?

I was even afraid a little bit before i came work here. Coz restaurant i am in now have small kitchen-in bar. Thats mean we can do all basics of bar, but at back of restaurant. And first few weeks i spend asking everyone which glass to pour port in and what a hell the cal 80 means on check.(caledonian 1980 - beer). I mean with the waiting work i didnt have problems, but this was fun to learn. Remembering myself with weaks legs to open champagne for the table makes me smile :).

Goooosh it looks so long time ago, this summer seems already was ages away, now think about 2oo6 ! Anyway all i know - that was f a b u l o u s. In all photos I'm smiling. And I had reason. It was good summer: i earned money, found friends, improve my english, become more communicative, had loads of parties.Of course i can't even compare with this summer which was increadible. But that was the summer which after i start to think that maybe hapiness is not in graduating uni or in respectfull work. That was the time when i started tickle the deepest corners of my brains telling myself do not stay in Lithuania. Of course i coloured that wonderful time in scotland way too bright and compared with life back home way too subjective. But there were bad things too , such as not friendly roomate, not realy nice accomodation or lack of them, spending lots of money, unlucky romantick story. And sincerely i dont care about them! Becouse nobody can take away memories I have and always warm my heart with:<br />endless talks and chats and loughts with lithuanian girls while comfy laying in that tractor and weeding, all flirts at barbeques, that employer held on his own money.<br />The sunny days and sunbathes that we pretended we took while reading magazines and painting our nails on the grass in front of our ''crib'' :)<br />the longest trip home : including night bus to London and very stormy other night between UK and France, sad separations, couse we were organic little carrots. The best ones ! Oh and that summer I first time visited London. Impressive, huge , always busy, not like any other city. And of course had seens quite lot places in Scotland by itself. the super duper windy Aberdeen, loads of shopping trips to Dundee, Hangin outs in Perth's highstreet, very quick journey to Glasgow however with cultural program included. And Edinburgh of course. Its quite funny and strange feeling when i see pic with myself in this city first time and know - than i had no idea that just a bit more than after a year I will be living here! (I didnt really knew that even in other pics where i'm with my parents here. Thant i wasnt decided yet.)<br />In my memory it always will be view when we sitting in microbus from Balbeggie to Perth and its our last goodbye...I'm leading that our village with my eyes and silently promise myself thousand times... to come back.<br />The heart feels like broken and huge missing thing was with me for a really while back home. Becouse that Scotish fairytale ended. </span><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/R5V5TabvUKI/AAAAAAAAAkU/92zJp8Jk8SU/s1600-h/bz.london.headless+man.JPG"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158162322642915490" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/R5V5TabvUKI/AAAAAAAAAkU/92zJp8Jk8SU/s200/bz.london.headless+man.JPG" border="0" /></span></a></div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Hey, but i came back!<br /></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_95mnkIeazs0/R5V5TabvUKI/AAAAAAAAAkU/92zJp8Jk8SU/s1600-h/bz.london.headless+man.JPG"></a>catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-39903304971465290122007-11-03T01:50:00.001+00:002008-04-11T19:26:33.001+01:00emptyness/silence<span style="font-size:85%;">Somehow empty today. No lots of lough and chats with Kevin, no <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">gosha</span> and coffee after work, no flirt with Polish peter. And especially today i need company, chat, just communication. There was bit, with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Rasa</span>. But its hard when u don't trust person and know about her so much more than she about u. Anyway from time to time its good to remember how sounds <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">lithuanian</span> language. I needed communication so badly that i even answered all emails, well at least i think all, i never had time for them. And. AND even came back to old but good <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">skyping</span> with horny foreigners. of course all pricks i block but i don't remember when was the last time i put on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">skype</span> me sign.<br />From one glass of wine ( <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ok</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ok</span> so its huge glass, so what) i got fizzy. But instead going to sleep i searching for that old <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Dima</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Bilan</span> song. Its awesome,even though i <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">don't</span> like pure romantic silly pop. </span><a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=TA902XCeP4A"><span style="font-size:85%;">this one </span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">is good. I think i saw this video so much earlier that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">eurovision</span> thing, and i like it , despite the fact i barely understand <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">russian</span>. That's what IS <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">goood</span> music.

Of course i already missed billion things, but...well its always better someay than never, isn't it? So today my headaches are simply as never to name: i need to find new job as i take my paid holidays in two weeks, and aproximatelly at the same time i will put my notice. As well as i have to take part in court becouse of Zultan, god damn him, and.... no no, dear folks thats not all, my parents and sister coming to Scotland on 25-28 of November, thats mean almost my first week in new work. Nice isnt it? Besides new place will be probably not far from London, not in scotland, so i must buy hundreds puonds costed ticket for train and sleep in it of course. I mean i dont mind travel by train, its even somehow romantic for me, just for god sake, it cost fortune in UK . Moreover , my boy - Peter gone. I mean i knew he will go away, but still i miss him. already. although i didnt think i will, couse we together just month.So after he gone yesterday, all this day seems dreadfull for me, besides its autumn, which, dear kids, i dont like, so its rainy and sky heavy.rrrrrrr.Today while watching TV in staff canteen ( which i do OMG how rare) i again thought how much i want to go to university, i mean all this working stuff is ok, inependance, money, fit body, blah blah, BUT<br />Exactly - but, i want knowledge, facts, discussions and so on. Of course i have books, which sucessfuly gather dusts under my armchair, also there is internet, which i use to chat and to blog, and looking for job from time to time. Dont have time to learn. I know that this year i changed my oppinion about beeing student, how u get so much more from life directly not sitting behind college table, BUT, sometimes i just have that eager to know, know know mooooore, find out, suck out wisdom from lecturer/teacher/ intelectual person. On the other hand if i need that so sad, wouldnt i read my books? wouldnt i search on net that daily?<br />Answer - I SHOULD<br />As well as i need to loose some weight, as i started to gain it again. </span>catch_a_glimpsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00033063746916596947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27757772.post-20008090704364176972007-07-26T14:10:00.000+01:002007-07-26T14:24:48.549+01:00obese coused by friends?<span style="font-family:georgia;">Oh come on people, do anybody really believe in </span><a href="http://http//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6914397.stm"><span style="font-family:georgia;">this</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> nonsence?

Even having in mind that Americans are not most socializing nation, dont u think if u have few friends,chances that ur friends become obese are not so normal. I mean not so many thin and normal people left there. Besides u always feel better comunocating with people who dont look much better than u. In my oppinion first u get fat trought ur life/teenage and just than u find friends that some of tham - surprise surprise - looks similar. ( and maybe just becouse in ur villige there is no not overweighted people ) :). show me loads of people who would look for a friend just by weight. Of course there is some.
