22

            One of those 365 days is yours. It's called birthday and 19th of February is mine. In spite of having only 2 friends around me this year, I was surrounded by so much love I didn't even think I would. Sometimes you just forget how valuable you are for those around you and being remined of that is ridiculously good. It's not about presents, it's about attention, dedication and devotion. And I felt all of these yesterday. Being surrounded by love is the best, nothing can beat that feeling. You enjoy it most when you are sure it is sincere and coming from the bottom of their hearts. Love and attention is all we need <3 So here are some moments shot on camera, but there are some that can't be captured such as video surprise from baku (really can't share it, too many girly secrets said), a friend singing you 'happy birthday' song at work, smiles your little sister send you on skype, a lot of cute and sweet birthday wishes you can't help yourself other than sit there with a huge smile on your face... and Oscar goes to my friend Natavan being super-conspirative and acting too good to make me believe they forgot about my birthday :)

And after that acting Natavan and Farida are knocking on my door at 00:00 holding a cake with candles and pink baloons (Taylor Swift - '22' is playing in the background).

           Rain never was or never will be more beautiful that it is today, right now. When I'm sitting in front of the window with the backyard view by my desk in my little room in London and daydreaming. Maybe because I will never be younger than I am now and watch rain. It seems like rain washes away everything bad and negative from our lives. I'm starting to belive in the good in the world, that there's hope even for the hopless, that there's rainbow and clear sky afterwards. Its unforgettable sound and the smell of the air makes you sleepy on this gloomy afternoon, but I want to stay awake and watch for a little bit longer because rain never was and never will be more beautiful than it is today, right now...

The Fault In Our Stars

When I saw this book in 'Teen Fiction' section I was really upset. Almost 22 year old girl can't be impressed with a novel for teens this much. But I was. Maybe in some ways we all are unsecure teenagers at heart that want their prom miracles come true. Only thing I can say for sure is I fell in love with this book about one of the most tragic problems: kids cancer. But it is not a cancer book as main character Hazel Grace says. It is about life, about death, about love, about frienship, about humor so much needed at hard times, about books that people get affected by, about us. I would really recommend it to read if you have spare time to spend with lovely characters in a very hard situation most of us can't even imagine to be in and brave enough to confront it with jokes in smart dialogues, not forgetting to read in-between.

As you see I tagged lines I liked, but most of smart ones are whole pragraphs and I don't think anyone is patient enogh to read them all, so I'll share with you short ones which just spoke to me or of me :)

Kew Gardens

          London can be enjoyed. It should be. While walking in super-crowded places like Oxford Street, Regent Street, Picadilly Circus seeing all kind of difernet people and imagining their stories, what they are in rush for, which language they can speak or taking in peaceful atmosphere of silent parks like Kew Gardens. It's a botanic gardens with beautifully designed orangeries and different landscapes. I think the reason it was very silent when I visited because of a weekday, winter season and entry fee. But it is a perfect place to runaway from London crowd and still be in the city. If you want to spend a perfect day and hide from public you have to head there without a doubt. This whole place is like a scenery from a British period drama.

best player of the heart

Firstly I just wanted to write a  status on facebook about it, then thought of uploading a picture and afterall I decided to write a blogpost about this win. Cristiano Ronaldo won FIFA Ballon D'OR 2013, he is officialy the best player of the year. Last time he was awarded in 2008 and then Lionel Messi was elected 4 years in a row. This was very emotional for him, CR7 couldn't save sinciere feelings during the ceremony. Watching him getting this personal award that he worked for so hard was a real happines for all his fans including me. Of course, what matters most are team tropheys, but this one means recognition of his talent that was improved and mastered during all these years making dreams come true. As a fan, everytime I watch him play makes me fall in love with football again and again. I just wanted to share some photos and the video of this evening of January 13th 2014...

Golden Globes 2014

The award season is on. Let's begin our gossip with Golden Globes 2014 red carpet. What they wore, who they wore it from, who failed, who was the best etc...

So here are my picks from the red carpet:

Paris at a glance...

Sometimes you have certain mood related to romance, love and... Paris. One instagram user, a photographer and designer VuTheara Kham (@vutheara) has one of the best Paris related instagram accounts with lovely and sensitive shoots of The City of Love <3 

brides in pink do exist

          This year we saw Fall 2014 pink wedding collection of Vera Wang. I was very impressed, obviously I just can't hide my love for this color :) So the last celebrity bride of 2013 was wearing a dress from this collection. It's Kelly Cuoco (Penny from The Big Bang Theory) who married a tennis player Ryan Sweeting on New Year's Eve. Just saw their pictures on instagram and couldn't help myself sharing them with you...

tree as 'goodbye' for the year

This time of the year internet is full of beautiful xmas tree photos from all over the world. This time I was noticing only creative ones (I'll save the background story of it for the better times). Let's see what I've collected :)

Fashion Rules in Kensington Palace

Every girl wants to dress up like a princess even though she doesn't confess it to anyone. So to see what real princesses wore is a little holiday brought by Fashion Rules exhibition in Kensington Palace, London. We had a chance to see gowns of HM The Queen, Princess Margaret and Diana, Princess of Wales. And I have never been to Kensington Palace and Gardens before, all this beauty made my last days in London before parting for months unforgettable.
