My friend is playing...

Tomorrow, there will be a concert of violin music in one of Vienna's clubs! In the programme Bach, Mozart, Paganini etc. by Yulyia Hauryluk. More info is here.

LOL!

Internet rain

Today I was really amazed by words falling as rain in the centre of Vienna on Karlplatz. There you go, Internet, for example!

Basta:) or he did it!

As TUT.BY editors commented: we don't need to build a new ice-palace or to participate in a semi-final next year. Koldun is the 6th:) Well done! Here is a video and I hope that topic is over for the next 10 months :D


And the winner song of Serbia:

Cheer up and get some sun tun!

Koldun is in the final!

Surprise, surprise! For the fist time Belarus is presented in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest with a song of Dima Koldun "Work your magic". Maybe it will really work! :) We need some changes;)

P.S. I really regret that Iceland didn't make it to the final, as the performance and the SONG was nice! There you go:

P.P.S. I've just realised: it's a lack of neighbours and too many imigrants from Turkey in different countries (so they vote); as I think Turkish song shouln't be in the final, imho.

Dzmitry Kaldun (Dima Koldun)

Well, guys, his English is not so good, but I hope this interview will be interesting for you anyway. They mention also princess Diana there, it's funny, really!

To my father

He was born on the 3rd of May, 1954. And he is not with me anymore, though he is in my heart and in my memory...

I guess all children love their parents, so do I. The problem is that sometimes we just forget to keep saying it to them. This is the only thing I regret, I should have told him more often...

I remember my first photo camera. I got it from my dad when I was 13. It was the same camera which he used to take first pictures of me, it was his camera which he gave me in hope that I would take photos. And I do take photos. I hope that once I will take a great picture looking at which he would be proud of me...

I love you, tata, I love you so much.

Two celebrities who surprised me recently

Who are they? Tina Karol with her extremly interesting clip where she is naked but you can really see anything provocative! There you go:

And than Richard Gere who is quite old now, but still shocks public, this time Indian. So there is a huge scandal now and he can even be sent to a jail for 3 months. Everything due to this provocative kiss:)
Have a nice Sunday!

2:8

Aleh Antonenka is still my today's hero, but it doesn't make it easier. It is such a pity, that we lost with such a score. Belarus against Czech Republic - 2:8. I would say shame, but Czechs were second last year and we were sixth. On the other had our ice hockey team had a whole year to improve;) Well, good luck to them for the next games!

Kissinger vs Putin

The author of one of my favorit book (Diplomacy) and a former U.S. secretary of state (from 1973 to 1977) met with Putin today.

Kissinger, who is also head of his own international consultancy, said President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had approved the idea, and called on the international community to treat Russia as an equal partner, which, he said, is what Putin is trying to attain.

So there you go:

Russia and the United States are forming a working group that will focus on the future of bilateral relations and will be co-chaired by a former Russian premier and an ex-U.S. secretary of state.

International monetary economics reflexions

I ask myself why I like courses about International monetary economics and banking... Due to practical implementation? Because I was always lucky with my teaches. Maybe in a way.

But it's also very intersting to be able to predict what will happen next. In our last class we've learned that you need to know only exchange rates of two currencies and interest rates in both countries in order to predict expected changes.

As there is never a one hundred per cent certainty in those predictions (one best possible predictions as they are named), I do admire people who predict the trends in global futures for example quite correctly and most of the times.

It becomes even more complicated and itersting when you deal with the shares, or you participate in forex trading. Sure you can start with some 250$ (for example, Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co., Inc. can help to start trading with these money at the beginnin). No doubt, one risks, but who can risk can always gain the most.

26th of April

This day is really important for every Belarusian person. In the 1986th there was Chernobyl explosion, and 70% of radiation landed on Belarusian grounds. It is a sad day, it's day of national tradegy and day to remember about those who died and about our future life an a better world.

IT in our everyday life

Today I was thinking about information technologies. Sometimes we just accept what we have and we don't really worry about all the ways some particular thechnologie came through to reach us.

Personally, I get most of the information I need online: news, facts, references and reviews, information for my research paper... So only when one looses for a moment our possibility to use this modern technology (Internet here), one realises how dependent he/she is and how important it is.

Nowadays, many people speak about mobility, independence, fast way of leaving. And of course the producers of "the modern technologies" try to adapt. Only 7 years ago I could not imagine how laptop looks like. Only 2 years ago I've started profiting from WiFi. And what now? Now I am so used to it that I start to panic when for some reason connection disappears. Wireless Networking took an inmortant place in my life: at work, at university, even sitting in a cafe... For example, some my friends in the academy from time to time have to seat on the corridor in order to use their laptops being connected to the WiFi network. Actually, I don't know the reason of those troubles, but it could be some effects of interference from other devices (there are special spectrum analyzer tools to check it). So they really feel on their own skin how it feels to be left without a connection.

Maybe it is a bit ridiculous, but still the efficiency of my work depends on the working conditions and the efficiency of Internet connection for examle. And I would not be able to write these lines if our Network would stop working. So, guys, have a fast and stable connection!

I am still an optimist!

Despite all negative news I read everyday I always find some which are rather inspiring. These days there were two:) First, EC finally got an answer from our governement (EC sent its request in 2005), EC is allowed to open office and official representation in Belarus! That's cool, but as my friend said, let's see how long it will take. Anyway, it's a progress! Next a chief assistent of the state secretary of the USA David Kramer (I am not sure about the spelling) visited Belarus and even met with our officials. It's funny that he was asked to meet with Piatkevich, who is very strong woman and our president advicer. Actually, I am not 100% sure that it's a good sign, but at least some changes! Therefore, let's keep being optimistic and enjoy the spring weather;)

Belisi style online!

Few months ago, I wrote about this designer. Belisi is a designer (almost wrote web-designer! I have to be careful, but it's a result of my Inet addiction:). He is for the nice look using interesting accessories.

Recently, Belisi decided to creat a new space for his designs (this time I could write web as it's online!). He created a profile on Stylehive. Therefore now you can find info about his designs and about designers HE likes. It's quite interesting to see.

As he believes accessories provide the final touch to any cloth (especially if you do it in a right way). So you final look will be really impressive. His Brand was founded to bring the utmost luxury to this beautiful world!

How many children has Belarusian president?

After a press conference given to Belarusian mass media it became quite clear! He has 3!!! Though everyone knew only about 2! It's amazing!

Just exhausted

I have a feeling that I am not able to do anything except dreanking coffee and chatting with friends. I am really exhausted after my today exam of Evolution of international systems in the period of 1789-1945. It was really tricky, I guess our teacher decided to take revanch after all. But it doesn't make it better... Well, I hope my grade will be better than I expect it to be:D LOL!

Cosy kitchen

I wonder when finaly I will have my own kitchen with a big appartment added to it:) hmm, it would be cool. Though at the moment I have only one room with old window and strange colour curtains.

When I have to go to the corridor where we have a tiny kitchen I dream about other one:) Just imagine nice and cosy, with colourful window and with roman blinds as on the picture. What was its name? Oh, yeah, "A suede look Roman Blind", still looking modern, in a striped beige/coffee colour. Chic! It would be place where I could enjoy cooking (!!!) and drinking tee or coffee with my friends.

Inet users in Belarus

I was wondering about a number of Inet users in Belarus yesterday. There are different statistics... Today I found a news with a number of 32.5% of adults in Belarus. Actually, it seems to be a real number. So there is a positive trend!

News which my friends brought

During these days I've met many of my old friends. And it's really sad now to go back to my studies. One more thing is sad, actually. Many of my friends told me about different signs that our whole system is going to collaps. On the one hand it's quite good, as there will be political changes. But on the other... when I start thinking about our whole economy, people, parties... there are sooooo many difficulties to be overcome. So, let's be brave, creative and persistent!
