Movie That You Must See

Hello, Everyone!

I guess some of you have already seen this amazing movie. Anyway, I still want to write about it because I've just seen it and it was one of the bests!!!

It is beautiful, romantic movie "Safe Haven" directed by Lasse Hallstrom (known for movies "Chocolate", "The Cider House Rules", "Hachi: A Dog's Tale"). Movie is based on the same title book written by Nicholas Sparks (known for books "The Notebook", "A Walk to Remember", "The Last Song"). The mane characters are played by Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel. 

The whole story is about a young woman Katie, running from her horrible past. She ends up in a small, beautiful town. There she meets a widowed man Alex and his two kids. Slowly they both fall in love with each other, and Katie learns to trust people again. But her secret dark pasts haunts her...

All in all, that's a beautiful story about moving on and letting go of your past. 

Let me know, if you liked it!!!

Have a great Tuesday :)

Life is a Chaos

For every person there come those days when you just sit and look back. When I have days like this, I end up with the fact that life is completely unpredictable. This sounds like a total chlishé but I really feel like I need to talk about this.


For quite a long time I felt like guys don't look at me seriously. I felt like they just wanted to have fun and that was it.  And trust me, that's not only in my head. The last time I had a boyfriend was thousands of years ago (yeah, we had a romantic dinner in a cave). But for all this time I really missed that. I felt lonely, unloved, barren... that lasted till this Monday.


Yesterday I went on a second date. Everything was perfect! I finally feel like this guy really appreciates me. He does everything perfectly! The first date was exactly how I wanted it to be: we went to a café, talked a lot, then went for a walk, he bought me a red rose and kissed me on a cheek saying goodbye. He didn't rush anywhere. He does everything right.

That makes me even more upset. I feel like I am freaking out. What's wrong with me? I got what I wanted but I don't feel happy... Damn! Life is just too confusing sometimes!But still, I promised myself to give us a try. I really have to do this or otherwise I will regret for the rest of my life. 

Life is a Chaos, isn't it?

Be loved.

Falling in love again

Oh my God!!! That is what really makes my life wonderful - a good music! And Michael Bublé is literally one of the most wonderful singers on Earth!!!

This is his newest music video. The song is called "You Make Me Feel So Young". 

Can you resist? I highly doubt that!

Enjoy!

When is it not too early to wait for Christmas?

Hello Everyone!

I really love my country. BUT the sad thing is we are still far away from the West. This example will be one of many.

Every time I have nothing to do, I like watching Youtube blogs. There are many beauty gurus or daily vloggers that I love. And a lot of these gurus at the end/ the beginning of the month make these videos about stuff they loved last month, stuff that they recommend using. 

One of the things I always want to try are candles. They always describe new scents they've tried and how awesome and delicious they are. Sadly here we don't have "Bath and Body works" or any other shops to buy those amazing candles. We don't have "Starbucks", "Macy's", "Forever21", "Sephora", "H&M" and "IKEA" are only in our capital so we cant go there every time we want...

But...

The other day I was walking in our local supermarket. Usually supermarkets here sell only 3 or 4 scents of candles (no scent, rose, vanilla and lavender). But that other day I found something special! I found those tablet candles that are called "Winterdream" and they smell amazing!!! I cant get enough! And they make me feel that Christmas time is just around the corner! I cant describe the scent by words but its sweet and really smells like Christmas!

This finding reminded me once again that being negative and looking for things to blame the world, country, city, people around you is easy. But if you really wish to live life to the fullest, try to find something positive every single day! That's not easy but its worth to try!

STAY POSITIVE!

See you!!

P.S. Is it too early to start talking about Christmas???

Preferable Hello

Hello, Everyone,

I started my blog probably not in the most common way. That's why I decided to make another post today just to introduce myself.

My name is Gintarė. I'm 20 years old. I live in Kaunas, Lithuania. I'm a 2nd year student in Kaunas University of Technology. I'm studying for 2 bachelor degrees: leadership and economics.

My biggest passion in live for 3 years now have been volunteering. I just cant get enough of it. I feel like I can give my all power and time for it. I volunteered in about 15 events and keep looking for more. 

My second biggest passion is travelling abroad. I have been in 18 countries now (sadly only in Europe). Now my new goal is not only to travel abroad but actually live there for a while. That's why I went to a competition, succeeded there and already did my whole paperwork to go to Padova, Italy for my own Erasmus experience. I'm willing to live there for next Spring semester. 

Some random facts about me:

1. My zodiac sign is a Virgo.
2. My name means Amber.
3. My mother-tongue is Lithuanian but I speak English, a bit Russian and now I'm learning Italian.
4. I have friends in every habitable continent.
5. My mom's name means Luck.
6. My most favorite book is "The Shack" by WM. Paul Young.
7. My most favorite sport is basketball but I'm slowly falling in love with soccer.
8. I do Pilates every Friday.
9. My most favorite country is Italy.
10. I'm afraid of insects.

Hope to hear your questions :)

Have a nice evening/night/morning/day everyone!

P.S. Sorry if I make mistakes, I'm not good in English yet...

P.P.S. If you need any help with Erasmus papers or have any questions please contact me, I'm willing to help

Make that kid proud

I'm sitting in my room full of dusts dancing in the sunlight and thinking...

Am I brave? Yes? I don't think so... I always was a caitiff... I was never able to stand for my dreams or even for the words I'd said... All these past 10 years I'd rather sit there quietly with my face burning red than actually standing up and saying something to fight for myself...

Would I ever be able to look into 5 years old me? Oh God damn no! She would be so disappointed I couldn't bare to look at her eyes... She probably would cry even...

But how could I explain all this mess I've made? She wouldn't understand... 

I was so idealist back then. I always thought that the world is the great, safe, happy place to be. I was a happy kid. I was never sad that my father left us and never even called, I was never sad that sometimes I had to wear my cousins clothes because we had to save money, I was never sad about my grandparents fighting with each other. I literally looked at the bright side of life.

And now... Now I'm the same as all these grown ups... I'm always rushing somewhere, wasting my energy worrying about stuff I shouldn't be worrying, lying, cheating, hiding secrets from everyone and myself too, making huge mistakes. Oh, how great my mistakes are now...

Back then my biggest mistake was spilling tea on the table. Now I'm lying almost everyday, shouting, hurting people, being rude, selfish. Oh, God, I even got in the car crash. And that's just because of my untamable arrogance (you know, all of them are losers, they have to take bus and I am so cool, I drive my car). BOOM! I hit another car just on the corner of my house. Now I'm so fine taking bus everyday. I dared to sit behind the car wheel only once after the accident.

Oh, I hope I could learn from my mistakes. I hope my mistakes could teach someone. I hope my 5 years old me could teach me and tell me when I'm wrong. She would know how.

Happy Monday, Everyone.

P.S. Try to listen to your 5 years old yourself. And most of all sometimes, just sometimes try to make him/her proud of you.
