Hello everyone! I really missed dA, sorry that I haven't been here for a while :invisible: Once again I had no inspiration and a lot of school work to do.. and of course some other things :D Anyway, I have some ideas and I think I can develop them! :D I think I will borrow a camera from my friend, since today I had an opportunity to take some pictures with DSLR camera and I got obsessed with photography..again! My passion came back :heart: :love:

I wanted to say a big sorry for *youngmoons and the winners of her contest, because I haven't featured them yet :? I will, in fact in this journal, but this is the last day of my subscription so I don't really have a clue whether it will be possible to see winners' works or not :invisible:

I came back from Estonia on Monday! I will always remember this amazing holiday :aww: I slept until.. I don't know, I woke up really late ( :XD: ) and then went to Record of Ball bouncing event which was hosted in Lithuania, in 6 different cities. There were about 60 000 balls bouncing at that time for 5 minutes in the whole country :aww: I loved it :giggle: After that I spent some time with my friends, there was a concert, so we had a great time there :aww: When I came home i had an opportunity to watch how Vilnius TV Tower became biggest basketball hoop in the world through my window:
TV Tower, Vilnius

TV Tower, Vilnius

TV Tower, Vilnius

I love how many tourists are in Vilnius these days :giggle:

So tomorrow is September 1st. I'm a little scared, but I hope it'll be ok :sun: I also wish a lot of luck for everyone who will go back to school/university tomorrow :aww:

Hey!
Only 10 days left until September 1st! Like most of you can guess, I don't want to go to school. But also I don't want summer to end! I really really want it to be a little longer :D
I have so much to do until school year starts :la: And when I'm busy it seems like time is running so fast :wow: Shopping with my friends, 2 photo shoots (depends on weather..), a trip to Tallinn.. and many other plans that I've already made :giggle: Seriously, I don't know how I will manage to do everything :D

I wasn't checking my dA for a few days, and today I've found a lot of messages and new watchers, so thank you everyone, I really appreciate every message, every favorite and every watch, THANK YOU SO MUCH :heart: I spent a lot of time reading and replying to your messages today, so I don't feel that guilty anymore for not checking dA :giggle: :party:

It would be really interesting if you shared your plans for ten days that are left this summer ! :aww:

I hope you are all ok! :huggle:

Bubbles! + feature

Journal Entry: Mon Aug 8, 2011, 1:42 PM



Today I was in 'Burbuliatorius' (Bubble The City)! :D This is an event in Vilnius (there are the same ones in other cities in Lithuania) where people meet in the old town, usually in Lukiškės square and blow bubbles! :D It's really relaxing (: To watch about a hundred people who are just blowing bubbles - children, teenagers, adults :aww: I took some pictures, but I just don't feel like uploading something today :( I feel really sick, and I know that it's my fault :D After that event we went to a cafe, I ordered a milkshake, some of my friends ordered beer and said that it's really really good and I should try it . Then they gave me fried bread with cheese and garlic sauce and after that I drank my milkshake..so I'm not really feeling well :D Just drinking green tea and hoping that everything will be ok :invisible: I promise to upload something from this day, just not now :D You can check this event's pictures here: [link] :giggle:

I didn't feature anyone lately, so here's a new feature :giggle:








(my amazing friend Ieva, who gave me HP7 book :giggle: )

I almost forgot! Tomorrow I'm meeting with my friend and we're going to school..because I've decided what I want to be when I grow up :giggle: I'll take chemistry and biology for my A levels..so I hope one day I'll become a doctor :giggle: I need support at that moment when I'll be talking with a deputy director :XD: This decision is really important :? I hope that I will survive next two years in school learning these subjects, that I will get in  a university and that I won't die after 11 more years of hard studying :D

(once again, I'm sorry if there are lots of mistakes, it's so hard to concentrate on something :D )

It's been a while since I last wrote something really good here :D

I'm really happy and excited these days, I don't really know why :D I'm still obsessed with Harry Potter, I even found a person who has my copy of Harry Potter and a Prisoner of Azkaban, so I'm currently reading it, even though I should read some books for school :? :D I was catching up with a friend yesterday, which I haven't seen for a long time! It was so hot outside and suddenly it started to rain, we were running to hide somewhere, but then wind picked up the dust from the road..it felt like little pieces of glass across my skin :o anyway, we finally reached my friend's home - wet and tired from running :D my friend lives on the 10th floor, so we used an elevator..and you wouldn't believe what happened! About 10 minutes after we were in her flat all lights started blinking and every thing in that house who uses electricity just turned off. That was a huge storm! Even traffic lights weren't working! And I live in the capital city :D But it's not the thing I wanted to tell you about :XD: While visiting my friend I noticed that there was a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (in English!) on the bookshelf . Naturally I asked where did she get it :D And she told me that her dad bought it to her but she didn't ever read it . And then she asked THAT IMPORTANT question - "do you want it?" :D :love: it was like a very late gift for my birthday, she even wrote a greeting on the first page of the book :aww: I guess I won't read any books of my school list this summer :D :D :D
This week I was in my sister's prom! It was really amazing, enjoyed every minute of it :aww: it was in a beautiful villa which is on the lake shore :love: It was starnge meeting some teachers there, but it was fine, I've discussed some things with my chemistry teacher, now I'm really considering an idea of taking 'A' level for chemistry this year! Still haven't decided what to study :D This week I was thinking about being a doctor :XD:
Besides everything I had a lot of movie nights with my friends and I'm totally happy with that :aww: Have a lot of plans! Can't wait until my friend is coming back from Turkey :( But there is a good thing, one of my friends is in Lithuania until the 15th of August, so we have to watch a lot of movies until he gets back to Iceland :D :D and another super awesome thing is that this amazing photographer ~RainOfLove is coming to Vilnius this weekend! Super excited about that :love: Also my sister went to France today and she won't be back for 10 days, and it feels so good to have a room for my own :D I keep forgetting that I will have to deal with all her university stuff while she is gone :D Also my sister suggested me to go for a holiday to Estonia this summer, when she is back. We'd do voluntary work there, but I think it's kind of good and interesting, since I've done this before :D
Busy days I can say! Tonight I'm not planning anything, I'll just make some tea and read Harry Potter :sun:


And just one more thing! A  few days ago was ~darkHunTer2009's birthday! I'm late (like always).. happy belated birthday, Alex! :D :party:
I wanted to take a picture for this deviant who happened to be a really friendly and supporting person :aww: :huggle:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II :iconloveyouplz:
I've just came back from the cinema! And I'm so excited! I even called my mom to say how happy I am :D :D

I grew up with the story about Harry Potter, so now it's like saying goodbye to my childhood :( :D

I guess I won't resist reading all Harry Potter books all over again :blush: It's just..so perfect! J.K. Rowling is a genius :heart: I will probably think about this movie, the whole story at least for a week :aww:
When the movie ended and I heard Harry Potter theme music ( [link] ) I just sat there refusing to believe that it is really over! It was good to finally hear my sister saying that movie was just amazing (she didn't really like HP before) :D There were some moments when I really wanted to cry! :D After the movie my friend told me that movie was very touching in some moments. It was so strange to hear it not from a girl :XD:


Everything was so amazing, I can't really believe I'm not dreaming! :D If you weren't planning to watch Harry Potter movie..well it's about time to change your plans :D

Sorry if you didn't understand something, my thoughts are jumping in my head right now :D

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 25, 2011, 2:53 AM



I just felt like writing a journal today !  
I've been busy lately so i didn't upload a lot of pictures :? even though i have a lot of unedited photographs in my computer . Mostly from photo shoot with Aistė, but i don't have a lot of inspiration for editing any of the pictures in my memory card.. which is full D: so, i was going to gym, catching up with my friends, watching movies, i finally started to feel that it's summer holidays :D yyyyyaaayyyyy!

mom bought my sister a new laptop so i've found a really amazing game there - 'plants vs. zombies'. god.. that one is addictive :D i'm surely planning to download it to my computer :D

besides that i'm super hyper and happy all the time there are A LOT of problems right now. and probably those things are making that artist block in my head :| i was talking with my mom a few days ago, trying to make a decision whether i should continue taking photographs or not. there are so many unanswered questions in my head! a huge part of it is about my future. i guess the whole problem is that i don't know what i want to study after school :? if i choose something like international business of tourism i'll just throw away all thoughts about taking pictures, because i just won't have time. i don't have enough time during the school year! and that leads to another question in my head 'why should i continue doing something that i won't be able to do after a few years?' . i hate breaking my own dreams!
so many thoughts :( i should go deal with other problems first, but i can't, there are so many things that can't be changed.. my mom has some kind of disease and doctors can't find it, they are doing a lot of tests for her because they suspect that she has a cancer :( and thats not nearly the end of everything!

i'm going to make a tasty strawberry tea :aww:
i hope you are all ok :tighthug:

Eurobasket 2011

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 17, 2011, 8:35 AM



I've just heard official Eurobasket 2011 song  [link] :D I can't believe that the championship will be in Lithuania this year! It's so hard to wait for it, because Eurobasket 2011 will start on August 31 - that means the last day of summer holidays.
I will scream from the bottom of my lungs for Lithuania's basketball team!! I'm not even capable of describing my feelings when i watch basketball :giggle: That means a lot for me - i bet like for any other Lithuanian :aww:

Maybe someone's planning to go to the championship this year? :aww: i can't wait to meet all the tourists :D :clap:

(by the way, did you know, "that  Guinness World Records recognises Bernotai, 26 km. north of Vilnius, Lithuania, as the "official" geographical midpoint of Europe"? (quote from Wikipedia :D :aww: )

Today is February 16!  93 years ago council of Lithuania signed the Act of Independence of Lithuania, proclaiming the restoration of an independent State of Lithuania, governed by democratic principles, with Vilnius as its capital. :sun:
The path to the Act was long and complex because of the German Empire's pressure on Lithuanian people, but finally we became independent :party:

After Germany lost World War II Lithuania was independent for 22 years and then was occupied by Soviet Russia :( We also have  another independence day- March 11, that Act of Independence was signed 1990. So now we're free for only 21 years, we have A LOT problems here, we may not like the government, people, or anything else, but we must remember one thing - people died for this country. They became partisans, they taught children in secret home schools when our national language was banned, when communists exiled people to Siberia only because they found a prayer book, or Lithuanian flag. I know how it worked. You just had to be a patriot and that meant that you're dangerous.
My grandfather's brothers were in the woods when some Soviet soldiers caught them - they managed to run away, but they didn't come back home. They had to hide somewhere. They somehow went to Canada, my mother told me that when she was young they we're receiving packages from Canada without a return address, so no one could find them.
After they ran away my grandfather and my grandmother were in the 'dangerous people' list, that was 1953. They ran away somewhere to the countryside so that they wouldn't be exiled to Siberia . As i remember that was the last year of exiling because that year Stalin died. After a year born my mother, they could live without hiding in countryside, but Lithuania wasn't independent.
And when finally we became independent in 1990, the national flag was raised on the Gediminas Castle in Vilnius oldtown. My grandfather said "now that Lithuania is independent i can die peacefully" . He died that year :( i wish i had had an opportunity to know him or my grandmother..

i'm just very happy that Lithuania is independent now. And i hope that it will be like that forever :heart:
Because i'd fight for this country!
You would not believe that tanks we're going through my street, and soldiers killed 14 people in the place that i can see through my window only 22 years ago :(
Independence Wars of Lithuania will always be in my heart, even though i was born in independent Lithuania :heart:




(The Baltic Way was a peaceful political demonstration that occurred on August 23, 1989. Approximately two million people joined their hands to form a human chain spanning over 600 kilometres (370 mi) across the three Baltic states – Estonian SSR, Latvian SSR, and Lithuanian SSR, republics of the Soviet Union. It marked the 50th anniversary of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
This human chain was visible from the space! Our road to independence :heart: )
