Face of Kyiv. A silly little competition I entered in just to spice up a relationship with my new acquaintance who is also in the competition. I'm really competitive and deciding to be a bit annoying I want to show her that. Mostly because she's so smart when it comes to music, and I'm the spontaneous no-books-no-teachers music smart, which is not that smart I guess. So I was extremely jealous of her musical grammatical snottiness.
But no matter how bad I get, I'd always love to have a friend like me. I'd give her the "prize" for all I care.
Did I mention that the silly competition is only for 18 and up? Ops. Once again, here comes my age.
And once again I'm #1 most voted up there.
Of course.
Just for the love of my blog and I you can still vote me up, let the Christ believers, Jesus lovers win!

Majorly, Majorly, majorly updating my ECD website.
Not really that MAJORLY it's just that currently I like starting my sentences with a threesome intro.
Three is the number of perfection? or something like that.
By the way, if you see this ECD title floating round my posts; don't fear; it only stands for my English Club Dream (totally not loving that title for something that I'm in charge of, I mean dream? come on it's like toys r us logo for toddler swimsuits! Oh and here I go critiquing my own work..It's actually fun!) Anyway, if you click on ECD you will jump straight to the club's website.
Which will show you that I don't mean MAJOR when I write it three times.
Nothing's big happened on the website. Not yet.
BUT I think tomorrow is the day of some big news on the website including a brand new video of ECD's second course! It will be uploaded on Vimeo and posted on FB as well; so you will most defiantly not miss it.
And to make this post even more tacky; I'd like to say a nice big thank you to my good sister Esther who took the pains of accepting my ECD video through skype and helping me edit out any weird parts (Like guys who wear ill fitting jeans). And to my dad Benjamin who helped me with filming and correcting my russian spelling.
Now is the time for my tackiest-post-EVER award! WOOT! I love you guys! Something more serious and Biblical coming soon on here, I promise!

If I was about to start telling you the events that happened these past 3 days; you either wouldn't finish reading such a long post, or you'd hurt yourself laughing so hard. You know those kinds of days that feel like months. And things that you get yourself into that you can imagine telling your grandkids someday. Ok now I feel like I have put into words exactly what I went through these Friday-Sunday days.
I feel like such an expert in Kyiv city life though. I got a job at a boutique! That is until they found out my age. Ughhhh.. such a bummer, I had actually already made such good friends with the staff. Everyone trusted me as their new young and pretty worker. I'd never received so much smiles and appreciation here in Kyiv as I did at my new lovely 1 day job. Totally humbled and humiliated now as I sit facing my ECD tasks and doing little details in my parents' ministry.
I do have too much on my hands to fit in a job in my life currently. I wanted something newish and crazy to try for month or two and it almost happened just like I imagined it would. And than once again I was reminded that throughout my whole life my age has hurt me in every possible way. And here I am ranting about it, like of course, a person my age would do. I'm trying so hard to enjoy my young years. But it feels so rushed and pressured. I don't feel like I ever was young. I'm just a young person who never had youngish fun full of mishap and giggles and everything else that I have no idea what people my age do for fun. I'm going thrifting now. It's my idea of fun when something I hoped for failed. And swimming is very nice too.

Dead, dead dream. Well maybe not dead but most defiantly suffering.
Yes, my life dream is majorly suffering. mainly because forgetting it and thinking its a huge mistake didn't work out.
Didn't work out because my mom has arrived home and each day brings it up.
It's so much easier to float along the flow of life without thinking.
On the bright side, Tomorrow night will be an evangelization event with our church and Youth with a Mission (YWAM). It will be an outside movie night (Fireproof) (Don't act like that movie didnt make you cry) for the region of the Left Bank.
I think it will be really something, and I'm excited so very much!
Just have to put that dying dream to the back of my mind for a little while.
Somehow.
It's great when there's too much going on in life, that way you don't really have time for your feelings. Which is good for melancholy people like me. In my mind everything seems to be suffering.

Starting to feel mind-sick about seriousness. Simplicity... That's more like it. Note to self of course. This whole blog is a giant note to self. I wouldn't want to be friends with the person I used to be a year ago. Everyone says that, I know.
God is so perfect; thus He's never changing. We're so imperfect; thus in need of constant change.

We deal with about 5 variations of what to do/say/go in an average of 3 hours. Starting from everyday things such as where to eat lunch. And than the more complicated ones, when it comes to relationships, morals.
6 billion humans on earth with all their changing choices so often. But that's not much amazingness when compared with the fact that God knows all of those variations, choices, and even THOUGHTS! Unthinkable. We here try to think through everything. So often we're confused. God knowing everyones THOUGHTS! never gets confused.... That just makes me fall in love with Him so much more.

Photoboothing
Snohshibatelnaya Shula...Where does she learn all that anyway!? hehe.
Befriending photography and my natural hair.
Train trip back to Kiev with my cousin Igor. He's huge help with the luggage.
Messy Chernovograd times.
Thinking of throwing a masquerade ball someday....
Bangs last me one day. Than I regret them and buy hair growth oil!
Setting up for ECD!
She totally does this face thing so much better than me.
Oh no
Here comes that sun again
That means another day
Without you my friend
And it hurts me
To look into the mirror at myself
And it hurts even more
To have to be with somebody else
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
With so many people
To love in my life
Why do I worry
About one
But you put the happy
In my ness
You put the good times
Into my fun
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
And head for the door

I think? ECD went perfect in every way it could. I loved how it was the most unique thing that I have ever accomplished.
The last meeting went 2 hours over. No one wanted to leave!
The class grew into a family. Personally I have the most fun (and pressure haha!) on the days of class.
I really wanted to go off the mainstream and the typical format of english discussion talking clubs. I thought if I was going to step up and organize and do something serious; than I might as well make it perfect; just the way I want it to be. I loved it. The people loved it. I have new students calling in reserving their spot for the Fall course #3. I made a limit of 13 people per class.
Just really happy that I jumped into life and did something like this. You won't really live a good life until you take nice big risks every now and then. Most of my risks were big flops, but than again, some such as ECD was the no-flop risk..:)

want, want, want, wants
My choices of what I think is footwear perfection:)
Gucci. Which is ironic because I never really liked Gucci, until I saw these, and their stunning spring/summer collection. And it's not the logo or anything, its just that this pair is silicon and looks so comfortable and the color is amazing. I'm really into silicone footwear lately.
Lanvin once again! I can't get over how comfortable and perfect all their shoes look.
Lanvin. Love Lanvin's shoes.
