My thoughts

Monday presentation

2006-01-16T17:04:00.000-08:00

All that we were so desperately working on for the last semester, started yesterday...and this was a big...no BIG presentation of the promo campaigns. We all (I know we were...;)) were nervous a bit as it is probably the first serious demonstration of our own work for bigger audience and evaluating team. We did a promotion for a rock band, called Terminus, and for this reason our working group was all dressed as rock starzZz...I promise I ll add a photo l8r...:) then we had to explain to the audience what is all our project about and even convince them to buy a CD of Terminus!!! :) honestly, I found myself really enjoying doing it (which happily added a bit of confidence to my choice of a study course, which is Public Relations and Advertising). Especially it was a pleasure to get compliments...(well, who wouldn't like it...)))). And despite the crucial luck of sleep I still felt satisfied...though there is still a long way 2 go...

Study's goin cRaZy!!!

2006-01-14T04:51:00.000-08:00

Hey-hey guys!!! Im so tired of studying, and you (well, I mean those from Insearch, in case if smb else suddnely will read this...))) are probably the only people that understand me...))) 2day we spent the whole day finishing everything that is concerned with the band promotion...goshm you only realise how much time it actually take when it comes to do it!!! We've spent about 3 hours only at the printing shop, and when we finally got all our products printed properly...)))) (this is an important remark...;) we couldn't stop Ki$sIn it!!! :) but still its a good time I reckon, because for me it's better 2 be too busy, rather than too bored...))) fingers crossed 4 our Monday's presentation...Good luck everybody! :)

Time to see...

You got it right baby!!! I'm too lazy to write long expressions that appear in my mind, and to be honest, I hardly have any for this time, because my life is nothing but hard work...yes, I still believe in the better future...:) but I wish to show you some reminders of the previous happy time I had, here are couple of my photos from the New Year party! (If you'll become interested in any of my guys, just leave a comment, they might be single...;)) Wow, my sense of humour is still with me...))) Allthebestandlotsoflove!!!

Lazyness and work

2006-01-03T00:56:00.000-08:00

I reckon everybody sometimes experienced a strange lazyness (well, probably not really strange but quite explainable...:)). Have you ever felt like you a ready to forget about everything in the world and sell your country to the enemy if necessary, after you hear an alarm sound at eight (six, seven, five...)))) o'clock in the morning. And you get into an even worse mood when the next second your brain reminds you you have to go to study (work :))...then you go out of the bed, open the curtains and see a perfect weather - for everything except sitting in the classroom (office, stuffy shop, factory...))) After spending nearly half an hour in the cold-cold shower (just to wake yourself up...))) and getting the colour of your skin similar to rainy sky but the throat red and sore, you are almost ready to face this new and maybe hard day...
Being still in a holiday mood and feeling like the continuation of the endless celebration it is really difficult for me to adjust in the working atmosphere, don't even know exactly why. But it is probably the time to overcome it and when you know IT'S ONLY THREE WEEKS LEFT 'till the end of the thing that was taking the majority of my time and thoughts...unbelievable!!! Surprisingly it brings a spirit of new challenge and therefore brings a willingness to act, do something, be creative...see where I'll end up ;)

2006-01-02T15:07:00.000-08:00

It's better late than never...I want 2 wish a happy new year to everybody who accidentally might find my little diary. I wish you would have the greatest time, full of pure love, success and happiness next year! I wish all your dreams will come true but actually it's better to wish you to achieve all the goals you made 4 yourself because it is so much more pleasure, when you know that the success you have was achieved by you rather than given to you with no challenge...isn't it?
HaPpY NeW YeAr!!! xxx ooo

Merry Xmas!!!

2005-12-24T21:53:00.000-08:00

Hey, don't you know the Christmas in Australia is HOT!!! :) I'm serious...it's about 35 degrees above zero...it is hot! :) and although "normal" christmas includes lots and lots of snow, freezing cold and a cosy fireplace where you can get some warmth and relax, I like it here too!!! :) and despite my family is thousands kilometres away and doesn't even celbrate it this day (we're orthodox and having our Christmas on the 7th of Jan.), I still don't feel alone and uncomfortable!!! :) I'm enjoying my holidays, enjoying the sun and ocean...I wish you all the happiest Christmas and NY!!!!

Everybody who truly enjoys his (or obviously her ;)) life knows, that the glass is never half-empty, it is half-full!!! it's all about it! ;-p xoxo

My Xmas tree

2005-12-16T07:45:00.000-08:00

So little things can produce so much positive emotions!!! Guess what, I bought a christmas tree and decorated it yesterday evening. I was dancing in front of it, strange but it made me so happy!!! Maybe because it's already the third year that I spend NY in Australia...when it's warm and palms around I dOn'T fEeL the AtMoSpHeRe of XmaS...I want snow!!! ...I miss my country...and this little tree suddenly gets a new level of deeper meaning, it becomes so much more than a green piece of unknown material...)))) and in the reflection of small balls I see a mum's smile...or maybe my little sweet cat...my sweet dreams, but I close my eyes...and see a little red sphere on the Xmas tree. But now I know something else, which warms my heart!!! I wish to wish you all Merry Christmas, and this is my tree, enjoy! :)

A bit about drinking...

2005-12-12T15:54:00.000-08:00

Well, I reckon everybody do it sometimes...the problem starts when it's not sometimes, but all the time!!! :) but it still can be fun, my friends can drink for 48 hours without any sleep and still be happy (well, almost...))) next day (after 24 hours of sleep finally!!!) Last night we went to karaoke, and my friends (who were really drunk))) danced a bit of russian dances (however nobody of thm were actually russian))), they started to argue with the administrator, asking for more alcohol, which they refused to sell to my friends...))) they became angry, really angry, started screaming...I'm not afraid of these things, but I was 100% sober, that's why I felt a little embarassed...:) It all finished with kinda happy ending there...they drived me and my flatmate to my place (they were even driving!!! :)), and suddenly I realised that I forgot the only keys that have a security fob from the front door at home!!! :) It was 4 o'clock in the morning, but one of the friends just went desperate with calling to all the flats, asking everybody to let us come inside the hall...certainly nobody did (most of the people didn't even answered, which was not surprising, they were sleeping!!!))), and then when we achieved no success, they decide to go by balcony of my neighbours, (and from there we could go to the pool zone) but to get there they had to stand on somebody's car...and they did it!!! I wonder what would happen if they damaged a car or at least it would have an alarm...it's over now!!! :) it's funny though

Being an international student of course may cause plenty of difficulties, and I wanted to get out of it million times!!! However, difference in languages sometimes give me a great opportunity to speak in my language with other people and nobody's gonna understand me!!! Wow!!! :) BUT: the thing is you so much used to this feeling, that you don't really watch what you say!!! Sometimes it turns to some funny and embarassing situations...)))
Last Saturday we spent at my friend's house and after that we caught a taxi and went home. During the trip me and my friend were involved into discussions such as men's natural...mmm...instincts...after I told my friend I was not sure about a guy's appearance, that he might look a little bit...piggy...:))) then, the taxi driver did a wrong turn and after telling him (in English) : "that's a little wrong way, could you please turn back...)))" I got a commentary (in Russian): What da f*** he turned this way, I'm not going to pay him extra money because this stupid taxi driver doesn't even know the right way!!! We came to my place, and I gave him my credit card to pay...he suddenly told me IN RUSSIAN: so, ms. Natalia, I'd finally like to tell you, that if a guy is a little more beatiful than a gorilla, then it's already perfect!!! :) (sorry, don't wanna offend guys, just quoting his words...))) I think I've never been in such stupid situations connected with language before...))) A bit of strange fun in my life...)))

Thoughts on movies

2005-11-17T19:48:00.000-08:00

Last week I watched the premiere of the Saw II, which is the continuation of the famous thriller-horror...I seriously fell in love with the first part, though I can't watch horror movies, especially in cinemas...))) so I was waiting for the second part and of course, went to the premiere!!! :) Being nice, I'll say it was good, interesting ideaof how the story can be continued, it has some surprises in the end as well...;) Being honest, It wasn't really exciting, so I could expect more from it...))) Well, actually, my opinion is that horror movies shouldn't have the second part (for example if memorising the Ring 2 or other similar films), because the idea is often already clear, so you can predict some situations and expect how the actors gonna react, what might happen in the next moment and so on...sadly, but it doesn't really work on me...))) so, instead of staring at the screen, being nervous and screaming and crying (all it was when I watched Saw) :) I knew when to close my eyes and NOT LOOK AT THE SCREEN...))) Anyway, that's how I think...what if thinking of a new story each time so the audience in cinemas and in front of the TV screens at home can truly enjoy it...? :) who knows

The emotional side of me...

2005-11-14T15:42:00.000-08:00

Here I am sitting on the lesson of radio podcasting and thinking of what to write today...:) well, I've been constantly telling you, my reader, about situations that had happened to me, but my blog is called "MY THOUGHTS", when there is no one post yet about my thoughts...))) sometimes you feel that you are too much in different evnts, surrounding you, so you just don't know how to react on them...
I wake up in the morning and I don't yet know what my day is gonna be like! But I see a ray of light, penetrating through the window glass and I have a first feeling for the day: it should be great! :) I meet my friends and we go to Bondi Beach...the day is fine, but life is never only white and never only black! One telephone call, one quick talk and my great mood crushed and is flying down in the black hole. And I'm about to cry...why? Don't know...I still go out with my friends, however I have no idea what for...come inside the pub...one look, one man, one smile...well, I'm flying again!!! Ups and downs...that's what make life enjoyable, because if you're always high, then you have no opportunity to rise...;) LiFe iS a TrEaSuRe!!!! :)

Happy Birthday me!!! :)

2005-11-07T15:49:00.000-08:00

I've probably never had such a long lasting celebration of my birthday as I had this year!!! My birthday was on the 3rd, which is last Thursday...however we started to celebrate it on Wednesday night, and after that each day we constantly went out for celebrating it!!! Mmm...i have to be extremely happy after all the wishes and times that we drank for me....:-P And on saturday I had an offcial day of celebrating it, we went to the park for barbecue, and of course drinking, drinking....))) well, I'm probably too lazy 2day to describe all the things that have hapenned to us...maybe next time... ;)

Getting pierced

2005-11-01T04:04:00.000-08:00

One of my latest ideas that I was desperate about was to make a piercing above my upper lip. Well, I'm probably not the bravest ever person... :) at least the awareness that I will go somewhere BY MY OWN WISH and do something that would cause me a physical pain always scares me. However the more you prepare yourself to do something like that, the more you worry about it and start to think if it is really what you want...IT IS WHAT YOU WANT, SO GO'N'DO IT!!! :) Today I went to Bondi with an innocent thought of getting a bit more tanned in the solarium...guess where I finally ended up instead? In the piercing salon!!! :) ...well, I promised my friend that we'd go there together and plus my birthday is later this week so I don't want to spend it in a bad mood because of the constant pain...STOP!!! Go and do it!!! And I diD iT!!!! :) Well...I was so nervous and asked the piercer a million pointless questions just to calm myself down. I asked him to give me something to hold...he gave me a large ear made from rubber!!! :) When it finished, I couldn't believe it's all done!!! But now I can't take my eyes of the mirror and can't stop smiling, even if it still causes me a little pain...))) good on me!!! ;)

One happy day ;)

2005-10-31T15:35:00.000-08:00

I believe almost everybody sometimes gets a feeling that the good luck just doesn't really know that I exist, and therefore all the friends experience some its awesome surpises but not you...:) Well, to be honest I do, however rarely...
Last Sunday I was sitting at home and actually prepared myself for going to bed...Oh, I forgot, I finally forced myself to START AN ASSIGNMENT, because my feeling of guilty plus a little bit of free time that I've got. So I wrote the first sentence for my assignment...)))) and my mobile suddenly ringed. The display showed my friend's name and small funny picture. I answered and at the first second didn't really understand what she was rying to SCREAM, but at least I understood that she was excited. After maybe couple of minutes she finally told me that she and our friends sat in the pub and there were also Lee, Dan and Emily from the Aus Idol!!! (Actually due to my INCREDIBLE love for singing and everything that is conncted with it, I always watch the Idol and really love both Dan and Lee from it....))) My friend said I had to come there as well, and I immediately started putting on the make up with one hand and still trying to put on some clothes with another one (well, I kinda succeed...;)) I took me TEN MINUTES to get there (in comparison, each morning I wake up at least 1.5 hours earlier just to get prepared to go anywhere...)))) And I finally met all these guys from the Idol!!! I took pictures with them and had a little conversation...gosh, they're awesome!!! :) Now I love them even more...I couldn't even imagine, I'll be that excited!!! :)
The only problem with the day when the good luck suddenly knocks your door is that you then always want more...)))
