Those birds, who are flying

the time has come again

2009-09-01T18:46:00.006+03:00

I haven't blogged for last months for some stupid reasons I don't understand. I was considering if I really want to blog and I've understood that when I blog I'm trying to make my life more interesting and I start to see everything in different view. I believe that it's a good thing.

Today I've started my new life. It was a hard decision to choose between my old school and the new one, but curiosity has won against fear/uncertainty/shyness or whatever I'm feeling. I just want to try myself with new friends, teachers and challenges.

Ok, the first impression of new school and my classmates isn't superb. I don't want to boast about myself, but it's the school no. 1 in Lithuania and I'll have to study a lot. The majority of people in this school is divided to two groups: nerds and some kind of party animals (I just can't find right words for the second one). Right now I can't put myself into any of these groups. But I'm afraid I can tend to the group of... nerds. The thing is, I just don't want to become that type of girls from the songs of The Teenagers;D Anyway, I still believe that I'll be able to find the happy medium and that the first impresion might be wrong.

I'll let You know how I'm going on the weekend. If I still be able to turn on my PC (the first week of school usually is horrible).

Summer has passed sooo fast, I even can't believe it's September already. And yes... I like to do tragedies from simple things. And that's not good.

comme la pluie

2009-06-07T13:05:00.004+03:00

Usually I like rain. I enjoy leaving my window open and listening to the dance of raindrops. But it has been raining all week and I don't feel like it's summer at all. The streets are empty, people even don't take walks with their dogs!

My birthday was a little disaster (because of the weather, of course, and my sister who is extremely nervous because of history exam). I planned to do a picnic in the park with my friends, but it was raining, so I stayed at home with my family. During the dinner I had a dispute with my sister, so in the evening my mood was shitty.

Sorry for complaining. Thanks God there's one good thing - the school has almost ended! Next 2 weeks I'll have to go to museums and make some activities, but there's no bunch of homework to do:))

My classmates

lady, where has your love gone?

In the name of old times, now playing: Arctic Monkeys - No Buses

Today it's the first day of summer, time goes by too fast! It seems that I've just started new year at school, but now it has left just one week till the end of a school year. one week! c'mon, if time goes so fast, I won't sense my lifetime. I even can't believe, that till my fifteenth birthday there left just 1 day and this summer my sister is going to graduate. I should change something next year, just to be sure that I've done everything to feel and enjoy my lifetime.

My Polaroid and me

I still have no plans for this summer - the one thing I know is that I'm going to sing in choir till the end of July (there is an important festival of songs in Lithuania). Fun, huh?;D

Paris parait déjà si loin,
Paris parait petit...

Hello my dear friends,

sorry for the lack of posts. Last 12 days went too fast and I still can't realise that I'm already back from a trip to Paris! I had absolutely wonderful time and I fell in love with this city. Everything was so impressive, I felt perfect when I was walking about the streets of it and seeing little shops and cafeterias... I hope I'll come back there soon and maybe someday I'll be able to stay there longer... Now it's so hard to return to normal life, to go to school and start to speak Lithuanian (all 12 days I spoke French with the family I lived in). But the memories will help me survive till the end of the school year!

In Versailles

Street musicians

This ticket was put on a tomb of Francois Truffaut

By the way. My dad bought 2 POLAROIDS!!! I love him soooo much:)) But the thing is... I have no special film. So I'll have to wait some time to get it.

Have a wonderful week

Hello dear fellows,

This long weekend I was a little bit busy. I went to countryside, met my friends, did some shopping and participated in Street Musician Day. In Lithuania once a year musicians or people who know how to make some music go to the streets and play or sing. Me and some other people who sing in the same choir decided to participate in this unusual event. For the money we earned, we bought a huge cake:))

Gosh, till Paris there left just 3 days and I'm so excited!..

The sea of love

In the yesterevening I returned back from a trip and today I'm exhausted! If honestly, I was napping all the time I was at school...;D I thought we'll see sea, but we've seeen just a part of it - the Curonian Lagoon. As I've promised, I'm posting some photos. More information - under them.
A nice flower in the woods (it's called hepatica)

My classmate Gediminas is impatiently waiting to taste some honey. We have tasted many kinds of honey and I have to say that I didn't knew that it can be so different!

decisions, decisions, decisions...

2009-04-19T18:46:00.003+03:00

Now playing: Peter Bjorn and John - Stay This Way

It seems to me, that our lives consist just of a bunch of decisions. Everyday You have to make decisions - some of them won't change anything and the other, they can rotate your life to the completely different angle. Sometimes it's so hard to pick the right way. Especially when you are the only one, who must decide; your decision will change your life and that's why no one can help you.

I have one really important decision to make and one way or another, it will have consequences.

Maybe my new shoes will help me to choose right?

Have a great week,

EveTheBeat

2009-04-16T19:07:00.003+03:00

I'm sorry I didn't greet You in Easter, hope You had a great time:) Return to school threw away my inspiration and good mood like an unnecessary trash. I hope I'll survive till journey to France. There left just 3 weeks and I should start to prepare myself, but the less time I have, the more my fears grow. I exalt Paris - for me it's a perfect city and what if... what if it's not as charming as I imagine it? I've seen too many films with beautiful Paris and, believe me, I have formed a very stereotyped scenery. Anyway, it's Paris! If You've been to Paris, maybe You could offer me the places I have to visit, if I want to see real Paris, not the touristic one? I would really appreciate it!

I should stop laying on ground, it's not warm enough for it

spring storm

2009-04-09T18:18:00.004+03:00

I always liked spring storms. You can feel it coming - that fug and strange tranquility tell about changes. Usually, after a long accumulation the storm is short and mighty. You only can hear loud raindrops tapping on the roof. And then it stops - everything what left after it are some pools and drops on trees. And that smell of moisture and real spring...

The storm is coming now. I can't see the sky through those grey clouds and I feel, that the wind is rising.

Those birds, who are singing

2009-04-04T22:45:00.006+03:00

Hello, dear friends!

Yes, it is here! My beloved spring finally really came with singing birds, warm sunshine and 'I don't know what I should wear!':) Today I was visiting my grandparents' place, everything was wonderful. I've spent hours listening to birds' songs, watching blue sky and regenerative nature, basking under the sun... I believe that I'm starting to learn enjoying simple things.

I've got one week vacation and I'm not going to waste my time as I usually do. (OK, I say it everytime I've got some free time;D)

I'm really happy I can write a post in the middle of week - there were so many tests at school, that teachers even didn't set too much of homework!:)

I'm waiting for this weekend very much. Now in Vilnius there's a film festival "Cinema Spring". This Friday I'm going to "Rachel Getting Married" (I don't know why I picked it, maybe it's description wasn't so grey as others) and on Saturday - to "La Belle Personne". Last-mentioned film is directed by a fantastic director Christophe Honoré, he directed my beloved film - "Les Chansons d'Amour" (it's fabulous, You should see it!) . And in "La Belle Personne" there are many actors that I like. So You've understood this film is promising for me!:)

I said that I hadn't got much homework, but there're some, so I'm going to do French and leaving You with a song from "Les Chansons d'Amour".

The weather is so bad, it's unfair! Snow-rain is falling and it's cold. A super weekend!

Today I was in Lithuanian language olympiad. There were all the best lithuanian-learning students of Vilnius city and I think I screwed up. But I hope I didn't, because I don't want to disappoint my teacher and myself;D

This afternoon I was browsing through some photographs of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. Although I'm far far far away from retro charm, I decided to make a photoshoot! Unfortunately, something happened to my camera and it started to make bad quality photos. However, here are the results:

Thanks to my sister:)

Best wishes,

Vilnius, I love You, but...

2009-03-15T19:36:00.003+02:00

...You're bringing me down.

So sad that everytime I understand how much I love my hometown, I have to understand that it's not perfect and it doesn't fulfil me. Maybe it's because I exalt other places, those cities that I even haven't been to.

Fortunately, I'm not the only one.

The weather here, in Lithuania, is awesome! Finally spring came - everything's not green yet, but when yesterday I went to the city wearing my sunglasses, I felt like it's really not winter anymore. In school we had a few days off, so the streets were full of happy students.

I went shopping and bought jacket, which I love:)

On Wednesday me and my sister Margarita were in village and took some photos. It's so good that Board of Education for all the students gave a small vacation, because usually government isn't so kind for us!;D

Yes, she's 18. And yes, she still hangs out with me.

Pretty pretty kitty

Magic mushrooms

2009-03-08T15:31:00.007+02:00

Today I went to 'Kaziukas' fair, it's annual event in Vilnius. Every year a lot of Lithuanians go to Vilnius center and sell handmade things and thingies. I've bought very cute earrings-mushrooms, that glow in the dark!:)) It's sad I forgot to ask seller what are they made of, because in internet I've seen a lot of cute things, but just can't puzzle out what material has been used to make them!

We are not the same

2009-03-07T16:16:00.006+02:00

I've finished II trimester! And I did it good;D The max mark in Lithuania is 10 and in my trimester I've seven 10s and two 9s.

Tomorrow I'm meeting my classmate and ex-best friend Diana. This week she was a little bit too friendly for me and it puzzles me a lot. About 2 years ago we were best friends, but then she started to hang out with other girls, because they chased after boys (stuuuupid) and were much more outgoing than me, she also stopped communicating with her old friends. As I've already told You, there is a girl in our class, who had a boyfriend and hangs out with some boys. So Diana started to hang out with her!:)) Maybe it's not good, but I condemned her for all these things.

From left: Gytė, me, Laima and in top there's Diana.

I'm going to buy a skirt, but I still haven't decided what type/color/material. Today I was browsing in internet, and found this TopShop 'Fluro Bloom Lantern Skirt'. Usually I don't like roses, but if I could, I would definitely try this one on.

Vive le Printemps!

When I woke up, sun was shining, the birds weren't singing loudly, everything was covered in snow and the weather was so cold. But I felt that it was SPRING!:))

I have some spring resolutions - it's good to post them in public, it'll encourage me!:)

I'm going to get slim;D There's an incentive - I'm going to Paris in May and I want to look goooooood.
I'm going to buy a huge trunk - for my clothes from France.
I'm going to smile more, because in past months I was emotionless.
I'm going to start thinking about exams, which I have to pass if I want to get to the better school (gymnasium or lycée).
I'm going to go out more often - it's enough of sitting at home!

P.S. I'll tell You about my friend's birthday party when I get the photos.

Merry Happy

2009-02-25T14:13:00.006+02:00

Today I've read that one of my favourite woman musicians, Kate Nash, is getting married! It will certainly make a huge influence on her music, because... You know, she was a girl who sang about common and usual things in common girl lives. And now, she's grown up and I believe that her attitude has changed too, she won't write songs about skeletons and girls who are happy in their own little worlds. Anyway, congratulations and my best wishes, Kate!:)

By the way. I feel that I'm very bad blogger, because I don't write posts often enough. I'm so sorry about that!

I love Kate's style:)

Saturday

2009-02-21T17:02:00.004+02:00

Hello,

last week went so fast, sorry for not posting anything. Anyway, it didn't happen anything special.

My teacher of Lithuanian have set us to write an essay 'My parents don't understand me'. I totally don't know what I should write, because me and my parents get on well and I hate that 'oh, I'm teenager, I hate everything around' stuff;D

My best friend's birthday is in February 24th. I still haven't got any gift for her and I even don't know what to give her! I think that tomorrow I should go shopping and maybe I'll buy something.

Here, in Lithuania, it's getting colder everyday (it's not logical, isn't it?). I don't like it at all, because I'm still obsessed with spring and I'm waiting for this fabulous season sooo much. Weather has a huge influence for my mood, maybe this is why I feel a little bit melancholy.

Sencerely,
Eve

Books

2009-02-16T13:38:00.005+02:00

Yesterday I was in Vilnius Book Fair 2009 and I bought some books. I'm most proud of English version of Stephenie Meyer's "Eclipse":) I'm also happy that I've bought "The Big Britpop Guitar Chord Book". If honestly, I'm not very good at playing - last summer I decided to buy a guitar and start learning to play at home, because I understand music theory. But I've learnt only couple of chords - my hands aren't very supple...;D Anyway, this book may encourage me to play more often.

Today I've hurt my right hand, it happened when I was falling (I was falling because I had slid AT HOME;D). I hope it'll get better, because tomorrow I'll have to write an essay and now it hurts when I make every move.

Have a nice day,

Eve

Weekend at home

2009-02-13T15:36:00.006+02:00

Hurray for extra long weekend! In Lithuania February 16th is a holiday (it's the day when The Act of Independence of Lithuania was signed) and I won't go to school on Monday:)

I have caught cold, so today I decided to stay at home, start doing a mountain of homework and tidy my room. While doing it, I found myself thinking about some diy things, because I was inspired by those cute thingies in Felicity's blog. Maybe I should buy some material and try to do something? I'm just afraid that I'm not enough patient and handy...;D Anyway, I've practised diy before!:) For example, my earring hanger, that I made last summer. It's very useful, because I'm from those who lose earrings often...

By the way. It is likely, that I'll have a POLAROID! My dad promised to look for it, because me and my sister were begging for this fabulous camera for a long time:))

Best wishes,

Eve

What's a girl to do?

2009-02-12T19:28:00.005+02:00

Today one of my friends broke up with her boyfriend. She was one of the first girls in our class who started the relationship with a guy and we all were thinking it won't last long. Anyway, it happened a little bit unexpectedly - after all, St. Valentine's day and their half year anniversary are coming. Everything happened in biology class. Initially everything was OK, she was holding her mobile phone and typing sms. Suddenly she started to cry. Her teardrops were trickling on her books and everyone in the class could hear her sob, it was a surprise that our theacher didn't say anything. If honestly, I was a little bit confused, because I saw a girl with broken heart for a first time and... I don't remember the last time I heard such a painful cry.
Do you believe that love can exist between 14-16 years old people? I'm not sure about it.

Week after week

2009-02-08T19:50:00.005+02:00

My days go so fast, I feel like a robot! This week wasn't an exception - it seems that yesterday it was Monday;D Maybe I shoulder too much. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday after school I go to choir (don't laugh, it's serious) and on Tuesday and Thursday I have my additional lessons of English, so everyday I come back home at ~6.30 p.m. and then I do my homework. Teachers aren't supportive - now it's end of trimester and they set lots of homework, in addition, we have a pair of tests everyday.

This weekend was good - yesterday I went to countryside to visit my grandparents. When I came back home I didn't do anything special, just read book. And it was good. ;D

Today I went shopping with my friend Ieva and I bought a cute summer dress, maybe one day I'll show it for you:) When I've come back home, I've cooked spaghetti with bolognese sauce. Everyone were amazed, because kitchen isn't my sphere, but food tasted pretty good!

The photo isn't very good, but I think it fits with the post:)

Sencerely,

You know, sometimes it happens that you have a big wish. You don't know where it came from and why it bedevils you, you just want.
My new obsession is spring. I want it so badly, especially in these days, when it's so cold and sun shines brightly! Maybe I want it so much because of that cold Lithuanian winter, when almost everything's hidden by snow and you have to get into your warmest sweater to not catch cold. Anyway, this type of winter is better than wet-cold one and I believe that I'll endure till spring:)
A little bit of spring in my room

Paris, EveTheBeat is coming!

2009-01-30T17:47:00.002+02:00

I'm going to France this May! I'm a little bit scared, because I'll live with a French family and I'll have to talk in French a lot. I have a little bit of experience, because last May one French girl, Céline, was living with me. But then I could talk with my parents and my friends, and now it will be just French French French.

Resolution

2009-01-25T17:42:00.000+02:00

My name's Eve and I live in Vilnius, Lithuania.

This is maybe my 5th blog, but I promise myself, that I will try to write as often as I can and I will write interesting things (I'm laughing already;D). So I'm looking for people who can help me with this resolution!

Sincerely,

Eve
