Do you want to put on-line your own radio show?

One my friend is fun of radio, she likes averything about it: journalism, music, news... And nowadays it's so easy to organise! Only thing you need is free podcast. This are radio performances which are on-line, so you get them over the Inet. It differs from the streaming audio as you don't have to listen it in real time. Therefore you can easely manage your time and listen to the cast when you really want to:) With a free podcast hosting and bandwidth you can really be creative and you can record your podcast for free as well.

Keeping your finances...

I would like to avoid any bookkeeping, but unfortunately it's not possible at all. So that's why people are always looking for quickbooks accounting. It would be ideal situation if bookkeeping were very simple.

Many small business companies face the difficulties to keep bookkeeping in order. They spend a lot of money to do it, though it's not always efficient. In out time you can easely start using some new technologies and modern software in order to run your business and financies in an efficient way!

For example, accountingparadise.com has a great system in place and inexpensive prices.

Looking for diamonts? Check out eBay store!


Last few weeks, I was trying to find a new computer on eBay, but I discovered that it is also possible to find not only this. Now you can also buy something really nice and cute on eBay, something like diamonts! I am not joking, it's true, you can buy them at the Diamond House Arizona, Loose Diamonds Section.

It is a new eBay store, which launched a new campaign. So almost all the items are for 30%-50% discount. Keeping in mind that the items quality is super high and with fine taste you car really find a nice present for your girl, or for yourself or for someone you like and care about.

At eBay works, you should check out the feedback left for the store before you order something. Customer support director of this store is always kind and can support you. Just don't hesitate and ask questions!

By the way you can get your money back in 30 days if you want it. And there is possibility to upgrade the diamond you bought, despite the fact that you bought it long time ago (even up to a year) and receive the the same price you bought it.

Some people just wonder how to tie a tie (four in hand knot cab be found on the blog I write about), others are really concerned about fashion. For all of them Belisi blog is designed.

It a blog of Peter Belisi, who Palm Beach style extrodinare:) I really liked the blog itself and I found many interesting tips and stories there (as well as nice pictures). It's exactly for "busy women on-the-go and jet-setting guys", he he he, it's just cool! In fact it's for those who are interested in fashion and want to find it on one page. Quick tips, commentary on who’s wearing what, as well as advices how you can put together your own polished look can be found there.

Klimt spirit



One my friend compared our ball with Klimt paintings. I looked at my pics again. And I found some simillarities! :))) Cool ;)

So, you can brows and see which one you like and to check if you get get a loan. Good luck!

Walk in the city

I was outside today, walking with my friend. It's rather unusual for me these days, as I spent most of the time in front of my computor in classes... But anyway, I am thinking about different perseptions and different styles of life. Like, you do concider fast walkin useful? Can you see what's going on around if you walk fast and you talk to your friend? Should people work too hard? I think it's nice that is Europe people know what means to relax, to stop for a while, to drink a cup of tea or coffee. Because these things are also part of our life, maybe even more important than our work :)

Games forgotten long time ago are back!

I remember my childhood, when I was about 3-5 years old, I loved drawing first. Then, at the age of 6, I guess, I started to do some applications and to dress up small girls made from paper (you could get them at shop, it means your mom could, or to draw yourself). I guess many girls dream to be a modelier or at least a fashion model. And we miss our old games sometimes.

Recently, while making a picture for my Skype profile I've realised that I do the same stuff, as I used to do before. I created my own picture girl. So in fact Dress Up Games are back! Cool, now improved and more intertaining, so even big girl in a big girl can stop for a while to create your own princess. Moreover, now you can communicate with other dollsmakers:) On the dress up games blog you can find lots of information how to create your own personalized avatar. When this step is over, you can use your avatar in forums, chats or competitions. So, if you like fashion games, or it would be more correct dress up games you should definetly visit this site. Enjoy the game and be creative!

After well-known film and song...

I think this animation is really cool. So many people are watching 'Ne rodis krasivoy' on TV and so many of my collegues liked this melodie (finnish polka). So this combination is just perfect. And of course a bear (medved) which shouts 'Preved' to all people from Babrusk. This humour you can only understand in the contecs of Runet, Bynet life as well as a real one which is happenning offline some times...

Soap operas

Today I spent almost an hour looking through different parts of a Russian film "Ne rodis krasivoy" on youtube. In Russia this film was shown last year and in Belarus it's still on going, but as I can't see it here, I decided to watch some episodes. And I found very funny animation about this fiml (i will post it later as well).

The question is: why did I spend my valuable time on youtube? Hmm, for fun? yes, most likely. Despite all negative opinions people like soap operas. They like soap opera news, they want to see more. It's difficult to create a website with all soap operas, but you can at leas follow what is going in the similar movies in different countries. Like the mentioned one "Ne rodis krasivoy" was filmed after "Betty La Fea" as well as "Ugly Betty", I guess. So it would be interesting to see some news about such fimls as well:)

Oil issue again

Merkel and Putin talk about oil again. I can understand why Western Europe is worried, but I am really tired about whole this issue. But the problem is that it will be the most important issue for the next 5 years at least!

Post photos story

Well, well, well... Story with photos after ball is almost over. They are online now and mostly everyone is happy. Although as always there will be some piople who will ask me to delete some photos, but it's ok:)

Mortgage calculators

Some people start to panic when they hear words like mortgage or loan, and I am one of them. To calm down you need to find more information about a particular issue and to understand how it works! For example you can find mortgage rates in order to calculate your future financial responsibilities and to get the good ones:) You can also use mortgage calculator to understand how to deal with it. So you need to put a small effort to get a better result:)

Gossips

Hmm, people like gossips, I guess it's their nature:) And it's so funny that due to misunderstanding or just having great imagination people spread such a funny stories. On the other hand it would be boring to live without them, it means in fact without communication and socializing ;) However here are mean only nice tales:)

Ball opening with waltz

Performances at the Officers ball

PPP announced a PayPerPost Concert, which I decided to join:) So, there you go:


We came to the ball at about 8.30 pm and the opening ceremony started at 9.30. In the beginning it was rather boring with all these important people walking through the hall with nice officers and their ladies on both sides (they had to stay there without movement for about 40 min!). But then there was really nice concert of officers and it was cool. One of them even played accordion on his head (unfortunately I didn't catch it). But at least you can see him!

Saturday



During the day I had many visitors. You may wonder why? Hmm, yesterday we had a ball and... I will start from the beginning. I'm perfectionist/idealist. I want all people to be on the right places and to do their job properly. That's why I like mostly everything I do (I mean I enjoy what I am doing) and I try to do it good. As I my passion is photography I do quite good pictures when I am in the mood for taking pics. Few weeks before the ball I decided not to take my camera there and just to dance. Hmmm, do you think it worked out? NO! I was asked several times to take it and to take pictures. So people trusted me and were expecting some nice pics. And it was in a way responcibility, though I didn't really promise anything to anyone:) Well, in fact I was a bit stressed and annoied, but afterall I took some nice shots and everyone will be happy when I will put them on-line. Though I will have no peace till that moment! To sum it up: it's nice to be a photographer, but sometimes it's better just to be photographied:)

Where to find Aircraft Flying Instruction?

Not only a wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. You can also use other sources. For examble I've found an article about Aircraft Flying Instruction on another online reference site. You can also read in this particular article about history of aircrafts. If aircraft flying instruction impressed you, then you understand that this site is worth having a look!

Storm

I am still writting and listening to a storm which is ruling outside. My window lets me to know about it every 20 seconds:) Well, it's fun when you are inside and you don't feel cold wind which can stop all life in a city. It seems that a big part of Europe will face it today (at least Belarus and Austria for sure).

And I still have to work and to analize the past...

Belarusian 15 yo girl is second in the Ford models contest

What can I say? I am really proud of this girl, she is only 15 and it's great. Congratulations to Viktorya Makhota!

Adolescent treatment program

I was just thinking about my friends and myself, in fact we are lucky to be healthy and happy, but we should always keep in mind that there are others. Those who are in truble and who need help. The adolescent treatment program is created for such people. A program with a unique and positive approach Echo Malibu is created to help adolescents. First of all to help those who can't recover from drug, alcohol or behavioral problems. You just can't imagin how important is for these people to have someone who can listen to them and help to return to normal life without alcohol and drugs.

Logo is done!

Finally, I drawed a logo of our youth website yesterday. It took me several months, but I did it and I am proud. The conception of the logo is similar to the previous one, but the final version is different, so it should be cool and I hope we will do it! I will not publish it now here you better wait and see it in action!

Helpful stuff for Ebay users

Last few days I was looking on US and Austrian eBay for Weight Scale. I typed it in so many variations and even in different languages, so I am loosing my patiance now. Alghout I found some item, but still I am not sure neither about delivery, neither about design and/or quality. So I need to make search again... Now I've found a site Ebay Typos, which helps with all possible misspellings on eBay and helps to search for you item. I've tried it for my "weight scale" and it gave me 77 more different possibilities. Therefore, I guess, I will spend next hour again on eBay checking all possible goods! So I will search ebay with all possible ebay misspellings! And it's gonna be fun!

French evening

I am back 'home' from a nice french party with my friends. Some crepes and movies were included:) We watched nice movie with Louis de Funès and Yves Montand, I like them both:) The title of the film is La FOLIE DES GRANDEURS. I've watched it in Russian before, so I knew the plot, but still it was really funny to watch it in French with some parts in funny German. :)

New phone for free!

I admire mobile operators which distribute as a promotion new phones! It's great thing as you pay only for service and you dont have to pay for the phone itself. You take you phone and you go talking to your friends or mum (or your mum talkes to you, as it usually happens).

Recently there were published top 10 cell phones of 2006. Among the phones you can see a real diversity (RAZR, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung ...). I am really surprised that there are no Nokia phones there. It's a little bit strange, but anyway it's good to know what is is popular and what you can get from T-Mobile for example. Recently I got a new phone from my operator, which is also from Sony Ericsson and I was hesitating if I should take Nokia with less functions or this one, which is just sweet. So that might be a reason.

It's also interesting to read about last year trends:
1. Popularity of music and mobile TV increased (camera phones, music capabilities, Walkman branded phones - I prefer phones without camera, as usually they are poor cameras, but with music!)
2. You can select a variety of smartphones(exciting smartphones and Pocket PC's - my friend uses one of them)
3. Producers started to create cell phones for children (Disney Mobile - what is this???)
4. GPS services are more and more popular, therefore they are more developed now (Yep, Google gives you Satellite maps and phones give you function of GPS, cool, what else can I say?)

International laws

And back to my exams. At the moment 3 different courses are over: International law, Decision making process in EU, Institutional law of EU. Wow, it sounds really exciting, isn't it? At one exam I got A-, next grade I will most likely know tomorrow and one more exam is in two weeks. Hopefully I will pass that one. Today my collegues were passing exam in international law much longer that our group last week, so it's a bit frustrating, I mean to know the grades.

If you think that it's over, you are mistaken. Intenational economic law is coming really soon:)

International law in action!

Just in a week after passing exam in international law I found two websites of a firm which deals with international law Firm. What is interesting this firm works on very tough international markets like Russian, Vietnamese and Chinese, although it's a small firm with main focus on small and medium sized businesses. So I guess it's a great help to American and European firms with interests at those regions.

I glanced through the list of its clients in Russia. I was surprised to see there Fishery Kolkhoz "50 Years of October" for example, so if this Kolkhoz is working with an international law firms, it's a huge step towards international markets. Amongn their clients are also: Kirov Kolkhoz, Sakhalin Leasing Flot, Vladivostok Marine Fisheries College, Sakhalin Shipping and many others. It's really impressive.

I've learned also that Harris & Moure are the writers of the highly regarded China Law Blog. So, presumably this firm is also a good expert at Chinese market and knows domestic laws as well as international. Actually, it's really interesting how domestic law in China differs from European.

Belarusians at the International party


We were singing Kupalinka and it was great!

Post party post

So, the party is over and now I saw again a variety of countries with local specialities. I didn't really taste all food and drink, I could hardly say which music from which country was and knew exactly wich country presented with photos (as I was responcible for it)...But what is important it was a fun party with very strong international element and strong drinks as well. And it seems that people liked it.

Alizee


American fans of Alizee put on-line video of La isla bonita where she sings in English. Actually, this is the first time I hear and see her singing English text:) I have a CD with her music which I baught few years ago, it was the only nice French CD in a shop that time:) I think she is a nice girl with nice voice, though a bit provocative:)

New day and new news

He he he, it was a fun day today! I was collecting different newpapers with articles about Belarus-Russia relations and other stuff connected to oil transit. It was really funny when my mates so me sitting on floor covered with newspapers. I will make a nice collage, anyway:)

I am making research on Le Monde again and going to write a long official letter signed by French teachers, so maybe it will work out:) You know, they wrote 31 article mentioning Belarus during last month!

And I baught my grammar book today, cool!

Shopping on-line

I am back to the issue of shopping on-line. So many people do it these days, and I can understand them - it's so easy. Though you should be very attentive and read description of products, especially when they are not cheap. I am looking for a tripod now, so I found a binoculars shop where they have it as well. At Eagle Optics they have variaty of different optics and optic related stuff (cameras, books included). Of course, first of all binocular and digital ones (technology!). I wish I could buy one of them! :)

Winter?

In Minsk it was 9.5 C degree, which is record temperature for this time of the year, last year we had down to -30 degree (very impressive, eh?). So, it's in fact like spring. But the tricky thing is that it can change soon...

Ball

I have a dress now and we started our Waltz lessons. It's not perfect, but at least I am trying to do my best. He he he. Uff, it's not easy to dance.

On Friday we will have international party, hopefully there will be no policemen or KGB:) Joke! Though, bad one... and sad.

Belarus in the news and on the maps



These days I see lots of maps! Though not of them are quite correct:)

Vienna guide link

Yes, I forgot to give a link for Vienna guide! Here it is!

Belarus in a front line

All my friends as well as all word news papers (and other Mass Media) are speaking about Belarus these days. I should be proud probably, but in fact I don't know how to react as for me the situation with oil and gaz issue as well as general relations with Russia are not clear at all. So, lets wait and see...

Audio tourist guides

Wow, it's a great idea to provide such a service online. You don't like reading books? You want to know some interesting facts about Eiffel Tower? London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Vienna, Brussels? That's the right choice! Mine is Vienna;) Here goes a tip, you can find audioguides online and listen to it for free (iAudioguides are mp3 files)!

New notebook

My experience in on-line shopping is growing:) I am going to buy laptop on-line, so I am really excited and scaried at the same time. I am spending hours on eBay (back to time management:) and I really want to get a goot note, so I can use it for many years:) Wish me good luck and keep your fingers crossed!

I have good news also, my friend from US is coming to see me. Hoooora, we will have fun! In the modern world it's great to stay connected via Inet, but quite often we don't see our friends for months...

Time management or where time is wasted?

Every day I think about time which is lost somewhere. Of course, I can't exactly say where it was wasted. It's really pity, as I have to do lot's of things and I ran out of time most of the time. Maybe I should buy some time management guide, eh? I don't know. I could be really useful, but it takes time to read it. So it's time again and there is no 100% garantee that it will be useful:)

Well, some advices to manage time:
- Take control of your projects and tasks. Easy to say, but difficult to do, as they are all the time out of control.
- Build and use a to-do list that really works. How? I have so many...
- Delegate tasks effectively. Yes, I think this one is useful, but again how, if people don't like responsibility.
- Get your workload under control. This one is the most important for me. I will try, I promise;)
