My 30th anniversary Oh my gosh..! I've turned 30 today! Woohoo :D Seriously, I don't really feel anything special about it. Strangely enough, right now I don't feel it like a new threshold or something. Just another birthday and that's it :) Of course, I received so many nice messages from my friends, ex-colleagues and relatives, some of them were quite a surprise to me... And that's nice :) Sooo... Let's make a deep breath and start some new exciting projects! :) #moreфон2018

Puppies Rescue Last week there was a case in my hometown: a man suddenly found twenty little puppies abandoned in a forest! Can you imagine? Twenty little furry pups were sentenced to death of cold and hunger! The man, who found them (his name is Roman) grabbed all the poor creatures and brought them home. Obviously, he didn't plan to leave the puppies to himself, but he just couldn't let them die. After the story of puppies rescue had been published on VK, it took around 5 days to find permanent homes for all the little survivors :) And the police started an affair on who might commit that crime against the doggies. This is a true and happy story that happened this unusually snowy December. If it was a film or a cartoon the story might happen on Christmas eve, for instance... But just imagine: if the dogs stayed in the forest and by some changes survived, would it be safe to walk in that forest? I don't think so. #moreфон2018

Missing Traveling I miss travelling. It's been over 6 months since I was abroad. I've been going somewhere for the Christmas and New Year holiday since 2014, but it seems this time I'm going to miss my turn. Don't really know why. Probably even for now reason. Perhaps, it's time to see things more seriously. Or perhaps I just consider it as a way to break the pattern of the last few years. Anyway, my last year's Christmas trip to the UK was absolutely incredible! :) #Moreфон2018

Visual and Auditory Perception Dear Diary, Actually, I don't really know what to tell you today, but I have to. Okay, maybe not that directively, but still I should to find an topic to write about. Okay. Scientists divide people in two groups - people with prevailing visual perception and ones with prevailing auditory perception. I presume, I belong to the second group, and my OOPT results demonstrate it quite clearly - my best score I achieved in the listening part. #moreфон2018

White December Today, it was snowing all day long. Funny, this is probably a first time since 2011 when December is white right in its very beginning. And even the 2011's December was quite unusual because we had already had a few rainy Decembers and Januaries in a raw before. What was special about the December of 2011? It was my first (and last) winter being married and starting the new life, as I thought. What is special about the December of 2018? Presumably, nothing :D or, perhaps, the fact that I'm turning 30 next week. Another new life? Who knows... Hope, it will be a good new life then :) #Moreфон2018

Online Social Activity Most of my friends and acquaintances use Instagram posting something every single day. Twice a day. Three times a day. Every next hour. How??? Where do you, folks, find the time to be that socially active promoting your accounts, making posts and stories with all those beautiful info-grafics based on so well-processed photos of yourselves and long deep thoughtful texts? Seriously, people, tell me your secret - I would like to join the party for insta-white-bones.. :) #moreфон2018

Thoughts in a Restless Head Recently (apparently too late) I've decided to return to what used to be the main goal of my life - tailoring. Basically, the idea to get back to it has been my main dream during the last 5 years but every next I made led me right away from my dream. Previously, I had clients, everything was more or less fine (except the fact that 90 % of customers wanted to purchase everything cheaper than they see on the shelves) but now - I've got nothing. No customers, no sales, no workshop and no time to develop everything from the very beginning... What to do then? Just to give up and return to the office job of an import/export manager? But I'm sick of that... Really-really sick. Now even physically. Damn, what a he'll of a swamp I've created for myself...

Photogenicity of Spaces and Incapabilities of Cameras Many times I noticed that the most beautiful places lose all their charm and beauty in the photos. Like, the more spectacular and breathtaking the place is, the less photogenic it is. And vice versa - some rather ordinary streets and buildings may appear just brilliant in a shot. Probably, the least photogenic thing is mountains. I don't mean that mountains never look good in the photos, of course not. But they barely happen to seem as breathtaking as they are to a naked eye... No camera is able to capture things as we see them. Unfortunately. #moreфон2018

Alcohol Allergy How often does it happen that people are allergic to alcohol? Probably, not so often but I'm definitely one of that unlucky number :D I can't say that I get problems any time I'm drinking alcohol, but in 70% of cases - yes, I do. For example, last week i had a glass of Sangiovese and it didn't affect me but today a half glass of beer was enough to provoke my asthma attack. Damn, it's just wrong and unfair! I can't say that I'm fond of wine or alcohol drinks in general but they are usually an essential part of a good party and people look at you suspiciously if you come to stay completely sober... #moreфон2018
