Change.

so yeah... the situation in Japan is still heart breaking, and i admit that i don't really know what's going on exactly right now, but i saw pictures and it's not pretty.

it reminds me of the time that a fire broke in the Carmel forest three months ago. the biggest fire in Israel's history. it was good seeing all the countries like Turkey and Greece that tried to help us. we don't really get along with them, but at that time when help was desperately needed - it came. and all those political differences were put aside. even Russia helped us (i was very proud of them, since i am half Russian myself) and of course, America. 

my point is, never underestimate what God can do, how He can bring people together at tough times to help each other. and Japan is not alone, people are helping, donating, praying. 

right now, i'm going through a weird time, standing at a weird place. but these things help me put all of my problems at a perspective and remember that things will change. and they do.

Japanese Tsunami Disaster

there was actually so much i wanted to post about, but everything completely escaped  my mind. 

however, it is a terrible, terrible thing that happened in Japan, all the things that got ruined, lost, human life were taken... now all we can do is pray and support the Japanese people, there are some ways of helping here.

i have a special love for Japan, so it is really sad seeing everything destroyed in this great country... which with God's help, will be built and recreated again. Never loose hope. 

laugh away~

so today me and my mom took a trip to Rosh HaNikra and even though we didn't go inside the grottoes (the weather was pretty calm and it's the best when it's stormy to go into the grottoes) we did take a long walk across the beach while exploring the sea life, hehe... you can really feel the spring is coming, it makes me happy. :)

this part of the sea belong to the army.. it's beautiful though.

a little crab :)

i absolutely love the colors here!

this is supposed to be me, and my mom's finger. lol.

hope you have a nice spring weekened~

Barcelona

so i found a cute short film about Paris on Her Library Adventures and was completely fascinated by it, then i found a short film about Barcelona and i just HAD to share it! i love Barcelona, it's one of the places in Europe i wanna go back to so much.

have a great day~

Lonely day...

well, it wasn't very lonely actually, but it was definitely tough.

it's just one of those days you are happy they are over!

but as Taylor Swift once said "at the end of the day, my goal is being happy." 

when you look at the little bright things in life, you become less annoyed and lonely.

so yeah.

 i just love this song.

Some Like It Hot

i just watched this movie yesterday, and i love black and white movies but this was the first one i've seen with Merilyn Monroe in it. this movie is goofy and funny and Monroe's role is very cute (dumb, but cute.) but you know, she IS one of the most famous figures in history (movie history especially) and she died so young, i guess fame comes with a price, right? it is kinda sad though, i never really understood why she died (never tried to either, lol) but i can't help but wonder, was she happy with her life? was her fame worth something to her? well, i am planning on watching some other movies of her, but there's just so many, so i have no idea where to start... any suggestions?

hope you had a great weekend and you're ready to start another week of life.

 i know i am :)

she is very classy, isn't she?

Twist and Shout

this made me smile. (even though there is something slightly creepy in there)

happy weekend folks~

Alice and the Pirates

so it's been a while since i last seen an anime, but i was snooping around the internet and found this awesome line called "Alice and the Pirates" created by Baby The Stars Shine Bright. it was so awesome that i had to share the stuff they sell! it looks like real-life anime... living in Japan sure is fun!

these dresses are so cool! i especially like the first ones, if i only had those...*sigh*

i am in love with those navy-blue boots! but the brown ones are cool too :)

i love knee-high socks, and these are just adorable!

 

 

these blouses and tops are just so out of this world! it just makes me want to be an anime character so bad! (or at least live in japan...)

and this jacket... is so pirate-like. awesomness.

and i really like these advertisement pics for the line

 hope you have an awesome day/night/whatever...

Life's a Beach

so I have always loved the beach! swimming in the summer, taking a walk in the winter and just starring at it for hours thinking "what else is out there?". so lately i've been interested in coastal decoration. i think there's something completely magical in bringing some of this fresh ocean pieces to your house!

i love the colors of the furniture, and the great view!

this place seems so cozy and lovely!

seashells - probably the best decoration ever!

stones also work great :)

this vintage clock is just awesome~~

these are so cute, on etsy

i would love to make this cute little scrapbook one day!

sweet dreams~

Gossip Girl Fashion

first of all, i have to say that i don't watch Gossip Girl, and i don't usually wear high fashion since my daily style is more casual and a little bit of rockish sometimes, but when there's some special occasion i just love dressing up! so the latest thing that caught my eye is Gossip Girl's fashion. i think it's super cute and classy and it gave me tons of new ideas. here some of my favorite outfits:

Blair in Paris, how cute that skirt is??

i seriously love the colors here, it looks cute and warm at the same time.

yep. that coat is awesome!

my favorite color right now is probably Navy Blue, that's why i love this dress so much!! 

i found one here on eBay, thinking of buying it next ,month! :)

i love red dresses, and this one is enchanting!

tights and knee-long socks - a must have in my opinion!

so yeah, i focused more on Blaire's fashion here, but i think she has a great wardrobe! i am not as girly as she, but it is fun to dress up once in a while :)

Have a great day~

La Pomme ( Etsy shop )

so i found this absolutely lovely shop on Etsy which completely stole my heart!

it just has so many vintage French pieces which just take you back in time and remind you about the special things in life. ( and honestly, it kinda reminded me of Disney's Beauty and the Beast )

so here are some of my favorites:

aren't these tree ornaments just so awesome? i would hang them anywhere, i love cool stuff you can hang.

vintage music sheet. now, this is perfect for so many things!! i can only imagine the stuff i could do with that pile!

canvas paintings - perfect for any house.

wood baskets - so cute.

so these are a few of my favorite items, but you are very welcome to explore this shop for yourself!

happy weekend~

music to my ears.

via Pugly Pixel

so i realized i haven't been talking much about music - a subject worth talking about.

i am ALWAYS in a search of good music, i collect music from everywhere. movies, TV shows, the radio... i always open my ears to notice great songs and then finding them online. i have a pretty big and impressive collection of music ( all legally bought of course! ) and well, i decided to share a few of my most-played songs with you, hope you like them :)

1. Breaking Benjamin - The Diary of Jane

for all of you hard rock lovers ( like myself), i just recently heard this song over a Guitar Hero game i played on the iPod touch in the iDigital store ( i was looking for a something to hold all of my music, and decided that iPod classic might be the best thing ) so yeah, i really like this song. :)

2. Galway Girl - Sharon Shannon & Steve Earle

so this is an energetic country song i heard on the P.S I Love You movie, and i love listening to it when i am cleaning up! its so much fun! i really do love country music :)

3.Sixpence None The Richer - Don`t dream it`s over

this is a lovely downbeat song i heard over Smallville ( i am currently obsessed with this show right now ) which always calms me down.

4. Mindy Smith - One Moment More

another acoustic song i heard over Smallville ( man, this show has some great music! ) and this is actually pretty sad, but it has so much emotion in it!

5. Orianthi - Courage ( ft.Lacey of Flyleaf )

so i am ending this post with this last song that always showed me the bright side of life.

have a happy week!! :)
