Killing me softly..

I've been really busy with school and practises again so I haven't got time to blog :(
And even now I'm gonna have to write it quite fast xD So sorry for all those typos.. =D

Practising

We've been practising almost every day with my crew cause Maria is coming from Russia to check our routine for the competitions this week. We had to change the most of it to make it better and there's been so much to do ! Yesterday we didn't have a place where to practise so we went to a hallway of a gym =D it was quite weird and they all kept staring at us but oh well.. =D
Today we tried to go through the routine as many times as possible. And it actually  starts to look real good ! On Friday we'll have 4 hours practises after school and more than 6 hours on Saturday.. Will see how tired I am after that.. So if you don't hear about me in a long time then I probably haven't survived..

"Life"

The so called "life" I have at the moment is the time I'm at the bus going to practises or to school or home. I do miss the moments I can just chill with my friends but those days will come in time (: 
We were laughing so hard at the bus with Selma on our way to practises when the bus was really full and there was a couble sitting in front of us. They were kissing non-stop and it really got quite awkward. We were looking each others like "are u fuc*ing kidding me.." and just tried to look normal. Then Selma started quietly sing "killing me softly..." and I couldn't help starting to laugh again xD It was so super ironic xD

My sister had her 21st birthday and I got an idea to bake something for her. I went through many recepies until one of them inspired me to do one sort of a chocolate bar cupcakes !  I added some whipped cream on top of it and it was just delicious ! :p

I managed to do kinda silver version of french manicure :)

School

It's been quite tireing to be at school cause it's so dark right now. I go to school 8 am and it's dark, I get from school 4 pm and it's dark again..
Luckily I got P.E. class where we do pilates and yoga ! It's so relaxing ! 8)
It's an amazing feeling to go to pilates or yoga between classes and just focuse a moment to breathing and balance. It has also helped me with stretching my back which was quite stiff before.
I would definitely recommend it though it can be fustrating at the beginning cause of the slow rythm and strong breathing. The best one of them was HotYoga which is yoga done in a warm room ! It was great !

The song of the day is a song that we have been listening few times at pilates for the relaxing at the end. It's amazing how I get that relaxed feeling everytime I think of this song: Your song sang by Ellie Goulding :)

Ready

First of all I have to apologize this blog might get quite long ! =D

This weekend went to the centrum to watch all those christmas decorations.
It was so beautiful with all those lights !
We went through some shops watching tips for christmas presents and just seeing the spirit of christmas (: And I can say I'm all ready for Christmas !

I saw this super cute toy that would've definitely been my first wish if I was still a kid x)
At the evening there was a firework too that I went to see with my mother. It was very beautiful but taking pics of it wasn't really that easy with my phone xD But it was just so amazing when it was all dark and there were just some christmas lights along the road and then the firework at the end of it !
Not so beautiful photo of a beautiful firework =D
Something sweet for the ride home.. :p
Practises:
 Like most of you know we have competitions coming next month so I've been practising every day for it with my crew. It's getting quite exhausting since I have school from 8 am til 4 pm and then I got practises. On Thursday we had Maria coaching us for 4 hours and I just felt so tired and achy since something snapped on Monday from the rights side of my body..

On Friday I had school from 8 am til 3 pm and my practises started at 3 pm and it lasted for 5 hours.. I was barely able to walk after it ! And for those who think that we were just waving our hands and just doing whatever to the music you're terrible wrong ! During that entire 5 hours we had 10 minutes break ! Otherwise we were just doing the routine over and over again with all different changes !
Though it's gross: This is what happens to your knee when you practise for 5 hours
All in all it has been an exhausting week but thank God I had no practises either on Saturday nor Sunday. That's when I had my chance to relax at my father's place. We cooked together and all that nice everyday stuff I usually don't have a chance to do (specially with him).

I really can't wait for Christmas ! I've already listened my favourite Christmas song Dean Martine's Baby it's cold outside and all those beautiful songs ! In my opinion Christmas you're welcome anytime! <3

 I will be rising from the ground,
 Like a skyscraper.."

Grateful

This week has been pretty much all about practises!

On Monday I had my history exam.. Heh I'm not even sure if I told about the right countries and right wars. I'm really bad in history since I can't remember years and names. But if I wrote about the right things I think it went okay. :D

On Tuesday I had a break from school so I went to practises with Selma at 11 am. We practised at her school and did the duo for the Saint Petersburg. She had an exam after it so I went home. I had time to download few songs to my iPod and cook some lunch and then I went to practise with her again.
We went to the place we normally have our practises, but there were people in both classes. So we had to dance at the gym since it was the only place with few mirrors. And we weren't allowed to use any music since there was a class on the other side of the room.. :D

On Wednesday I had my english exam. I have no idea how it went really.. Those exams are quite tricky since they want us to use all those fine words that I can not understand :D
But after the exam I had practises.. Suprise suprise.. And umm.. First we practised dancehall and then our two peformances.. (:
On Thursday I went to Selma's place for practises. =D It didn't go that well cause we were both just laughing our asses off xD And our "dancing" was mostly just other one doing all kinds of silly stuff and the other yelling "You can do it !! Just lose control!" xD
You'll never guess what I did on Friday... I had practises.. wow ! But also a normal day at school again and I was quite tired. Luckily I had a chance to take a nap at one high shcool's class xD

Yesterday was really great. I met my cousins and we had ice cream from SpiceIce (8 We had practises and at the evening we went to a party with Selma. The drive there was crazy !! There were 4 persons sitting on 2 seets at the bus ! And there were people standing from the back to the front door =D
Luckily we did get in and had a great time.

Ready for the party
This week I've been feeling extreamly grateful !
I got so many people around me supporting me for example my family and my crew. And people are being real kind and it just always feels so good to make new good friends or find something new about a person. I'm also grateful that people are actually trying to help me. No matter if it was in school, in dance class or in my asthma. Through life it is incredibly important to find people caring and supportive. That's just something I've been really thankful about this week. <3

Today I've been spending my day just relaxing since it's my only day off. It's been a good day all in all. :) Hope you have had great moments this weekend as well. :)

It ain't that easy

This week has been probably the most incongruous week ever..
There has been lot of good things and lot of bad things happening really.

Breath the air
 One thing that was really great was that I got a new medication for my asthma so my cough is getting better little by little. I'm so glad they found me a medication for it because until Tuesday I wasn't able to even sleep at nights cause I was just coughing all the time.
That of course meant that I was extreamly tired and I started to fall asleep during the days.

Now my cough is getting better but the doctor said that I'm not allowed to dance this week so it won't get worse.. That kinda sucked cause we had alot of practises but at least my lungs are gonna work normally soon !

Trip to Tampere
I went to a trip with my school to Tampere to visit their university and police school. I had a dream of becoming a police for quite long but now that I got a very bad asthma I'm not able to become one. But it was really great to visit that school and learn the facts about it ! We also had our lunch at that school and the place was full of polices and we were all just like "umm i guess I can leave my bag here since it's surrounded by polices anyway.." :D

The university wasn't that special. The person telling about it talked quite long and and the place wasn't too pretty either.. But it was a experience though :)

Practises
Maria and Omar came to coach us after a long break seeing them ! It was so awesome though I wasn't allowed to do anything :D but I sat there learning the routines by watching !
And we are maybe going to Saint Petersburg on December to compete !!! It would be soooo awesome ! We doupled our practises now and we're all  gonna work our butts off !
So umm we had workshops with Maria and Omar so I sat there for 9 hours this weekend :D I took photos of others dancing and tried to learn the routines by watching :D

Wish I could
I'm kinda scared i'm gonna be behind the others just because I'm not able to practise yet. They all know in my crew that I'm doing my best but it just fustrates myself. And another sad thing is that I won't meet my father's gf or her child anymore since they moved away. It's kinda sad..
And there are some other stuff going on too so it's kinda tough at times. But we all have those times.
And now that we got exam week again I'm busy as hell ! I got to read to exams, do essays and stuff that i wouldn't have time to do !

But I hope things will get easier and the stress is gonna stop at some point :) But i'm really looking forward to those competitions ! Hope you all had a great week and a relaxing holiday :)
