Christmas song

Have yourself a merry little Christmas by Katie Melua:

I cried for you...

When one more year is going to its end, I start thinking what I managed to do that year and what I lost... This year I lost a very close person, she passed away, but she will stay with me in my memory. It's always about life and death, people are born, others pass away. But it is just not easy to accept the second part... Although, life goes on, I can not change what has happened, I just want to post something for her here, for her and all others. And this is the song by Katie Melua for them, and, first of all, to my father:

Best season greetings!

Belsat and my photo

Today is the first day when Belsat, the alternative TV run by Polish TV company start working. I've decided to see the website of it and was surised in a positive way, as I saw my photo there! It's nice!
And here is the original:

Katie Melua from Georgia...

Today I've rediscovered about Katie Melua thanks to Junior Eurovision where she was invited to. I've found out that she is from Gergia, that she is only 22 and she is really brilliant. I found this video of her filmed in Nov 2007, she speaks about the UK, immigrants and her familly. She is a brave and gifted girl:) P.S. I've already ordered two CDs of her!

We are the winners!

I am so happy to announce that today for the second time in the history Belarusian participant won Junior Eurovision Song Contest! Congratulations Aliaksei Zhyhalkovich! Here is the winner of 2007:
And just to remind you the winner of 2005 - Kseniya Sitnik

Relaxation and massage

After sitting for hours in front of the computer one feels really tired, eyes, neck and generally whole body needs some exercises. And when I read information about different clever devices which help to relax, I feel really in the mood to buy them strait away! Although, I don't have all money of the world so I really have to be selective.

For example, just look at this Human Touch HT 7450 Zero Gravity Massage Chair! It has everything I need right now:) The chair for sensual body massage for relaxation. As the ad on the website of the producer says: "there's a way to escape the soreness, tension and fatigue caused by the effects of Earth's gravity constantly pulling the back." I don't think one would start flying strait away, like without any gravity (even in the ad the company says it's not possible), but I am quite sure that the relieve from the back pain and neck pain will be.

P.S. This is a sponsored post.

Viacorka vs Michalevic

A two-day congress of the Belarusian Popular Front (BPF), a major opposition party in Belarus, began at the culture palace of the Minsk Automobile Factory on December 8. - Naviny.by reported

It's an interesting even, because this congress will elect a new chairperson of this oppositional party. At the moment the two leading canditates Viacorka and Michalevic (on the photo) got almost equal results, 118 and 110 votes correspondingly. Both are less than 50% + 1 vote, therefore there will be one more voting round tomorrow. I just hope that this voting tomorrow will change something in the country to the better.

So sweet!

Charity organisations of one of the German cities (Friedrichshafen) help to Polatsk. One more thing I found really funny and kind, Karl Frenkel (I hope I spelled it correctly) bouth chocolates to every citizen of the city, one chocolate for one person:)!

Junior Eurovision

I cann't stop myself from writting about it:))) Tomorrow there will be this year Junior Eurovision 2007 and there will be our boy present:) Here on the main page of the official website one can watch last years winners and Ksieniya Sitnik among them:)

LOL: Belarus joins Asia

I've just found it on Amazon.ca, so my guess is that people in Canada don't really know where Belarus and Asia are:D

The Lukashenka and El Pais

When economy at the background is in stagnation, the president is giving interviews to foreign mass media. This time it was El Pais. Click on the title to see the article in Spanish. In short, he wants some compromise with the EU, but he does not like the language of ultimatum. My question was and is, can we trust him? And what are the other options? It's not so easy to answer if you look deeper into the Belarusian politics. The following few months will be really challenging and maybe, I say maybe, changing something in Belarusian economy and in the long term perspective Belarusian politics. God bless Belarus, give its people some wisdom and strength.

Last week in the news

I've read the overview of the last week news and one phrase captured my attention:

"резкое снижение цен на рынке недвижимости происходит только при экономических и политических катаклизмах" what means "sudden drop down in the prices at the real estate market happens only when there are economic and politic cataclysms"

The indicator is not a good one in my opinion. I am really afraid of the economic catastrophy in Belarus next year, but hopefully it will be somehow good for the people. Some shocks bring people back to the reality.
