Не писала сюда уже больше 2 лет. Ау?! Есть кто?

Буду оставлять здесь частички своих мыслей. В Инстаграм как-то не хочется, а вот блог располагает к откровениям.

Cambodia.

Hello my dear Readers. As you might have noticed, I haven't been active on my blog since last year. Every now and then I had an idea for a post, but never really had time to sit down and start writing. These past few months were quite eventful, but there's one particular thing I'd like to share with you guys. Last weekend my husband and I visited Cambodia. It was the first country we visited together that was new for both of us. We arrived in Siem Reap on a Friday morning and were greeted by a tuk tuk driver, Mr Bean. On the way to our hotel we had a chance to see what Siem Reap is like, and honestly, it didn't seem much at first. However, we were still looking forward to exploring the place and visiting the famous temples complex the next day. This article is largely dedicated to our experiences at the temples of Angkor, however I'd like to say that we had an amazing time at Siem Reap overall, and this trip turned out to be one of the best for us so far. If you ever get a chance to visit Cambodia, definitely do! Now, to the main part of this post.

I can't believe there's only one day left till 2015. It feels like just yesterday I was celebrating New Year's! 2014 went by incredibly fast, yet there was so much to it: I closed a number of old chapters and opened new ones. So this is me trying to sum it all up and remember everything I've been through this past year.

Стихи. Мое.

В свое время я очень любила писать стихи, к сожалению давно этим не занималась. Недавно, перечитывая переписку со старым другом, нашла вот эти три небольших стихотворения. Решила поделиться, надеюсь кому-то будет интересно. :)

Зачем ты рушишь свою жизнь?

Она одна, пойми ты это.

Не покидай земную низмь,

Ведь не увидишь ты рассвета.

Зачем ты рвешь серебряную нить,

Что соединяет тебя с миром?

Пойми, что радость просто жить,

Будь рабом ты иль будь эмиром.

Быть может, ты попал в беду,

Ты не один на этом свете,

И даже был бы ты в бреду,

Причин нет загонять себя в тугие сети.

А выход есть. Он есть всегда.

Я верю в эту силу слова.

И пусть он исчезает иногда,

Но ведь появится он снова.

Зачем тогда сознательно рубить

То полотно, что соткал ты за путь свой?

Ведь в жизни главное- любить,

Но умерший в стране любви- изгой.

Exeter

This post was supposed to be my graduation post, but I couldn't bring myself to close such an important chapter of my life that fast. I guess it's just too hard to say goodbye sometimes. Exeter changed me in so many ways, and I can't imagine what I'd be like if I chose another place to study. Sometimes I feel like it never happened to me, or it was simply in another life, a long-long time ago. Although on certain days I could swear that nothing was ever more real than the years I spent in Exeter.

Each year was so different and full of surprises, and I'm thankful for every experience that I got.

100 facts about me.

I know that this post may seem a bit , or maybe fully, vain but the main purpose was for me to analyse myself and face some personal facts I might have forgotten. Anyways, if you find this interesting, then keep reading, if not, then it's not gonna get any better in this post :)

June

Hey Everyone!

It's been a while since my last post, so I decided to put a little more effort into my blog, especially now that I have some free time due to Ramadan.
My summer has been great so far! In the beginning of June, my girls and I went on a short trip to Istanbul, a trip full of laughter and excitement! We went hiking, survived the protests as well as strolled around Sultanahmet.

After spending a weekend in Istanbul, I went to Antalya where I met my mom. We spent nearly four weeks together and it was delightful! As I was growing up, I was used to be on my own quite often, and now that I spent five years abroad, I'm quite independent from my family. But every time I stay with my mom, somehow, I turn into a kid. Or, better say, I turn into Garfield.
