New Year is coming up and I have no freaking idea on how to celebrate it. Sick of restaurants, balls and dinners with family. I've been wanting to have it on the beach with a group of friends, but no one ever wanted to do it for some reason.
Would love to go away elsewhere in Australia, but it's impossible to book a room in the hotel just for a night or two around New Year - you have to take the whole week. aaaaaaa...
One year I WILL go to Europe somewhere and celebrate this holiday in the snow. Palm trees and 40 degrees don't really do it for me.

Nabucco
I must say - I absolutely love opera and try to see every one of them shown in Brisbane. Some of them are spectacular, such as 'Madama Butterfly' - singing, costumes, decorations, the whole athmosphere and voices - everything is amazing!
Others are like 'Nabucco'. Beautiful Verdi's opera with a story about Babylon's conflicts with Assyria 600 BC. Loved the chorus performance and the music. The thing which I could not understand and which made me quite irritated - why does Australian Opera constantly modernise classical pieces? Why was Assyrian King wearing Ostap Bender's suit and hat and Babylonians looked like Russian communists? Hmm..
I understand that their land has not been in piece for thousands of years - Assyria, Persia and now Iraq, but why ruin beautiful classical opera with decorations showing planes, helicopters and flying rockets? I guess pure classic art doesn't excite people these days and they need something that reflects modern life. Shame...

FIJI! Here we come!
We finally got sick of saving and saving and saving for our next European holiday. It's summer after all and vacation time! Fiji, here we come! Going to Warwick (Coral Coast) in November.
Can't wait! :))

Люблю шашлычки летним вечерком!
Нет , все таки местный народ нифига не понимает в барбекю :) Пока они жуют сосиски на гриле, мы традиционно по субботнему гурманим шашлыками собственного изготовления :) ммммммммммм..... Что может быть лучше?
Тест спёрт у Машки :)
| Маленькая девочка в глубине твоей души... «Принцесса» |
Милая, симпатичная, очаровательная девочка с солнечной улыбкой и лукавым взглядом лучистых глаз – она так любит, когда ее балуют, любят и восхищаются ею. Именно она делится своим пленительным очарованием с тобой – Маленькая Принцесса искрится на дне твоих глаз и очаровывает окружающих. Ее (твоя) эмоциональность, ее (твое!) обаяние, ее (ну да, ваша) женственность – непосредственны и естественны. И если ты вдруг забудешь об этом – вспомни, взглянув на эту фотографию. |
