January & February

It has been another 2 moths. And I seem to live up to my tendency to watch shitload of movies during the cold moths, just look at that list of movies I have seen in February! Damn! You may even think that I don't have a life! ;D
I am gonna write them down and colour those worth seeing.

January
  • Cosmopolis
  • Hangover
  • Wedding Crashers
  • Cloud Atlas
  • Les Miserables
  • Life of Pi
  • Bridesmeids
  • Ted
  • Frankenweenie
  • Plesentville
  • The Matrix

February
  • Ice Age IV
  • Top Gun
  • Pride & Prejudice
  • Looper
  • Crocodile Dundee
  • Anna Karenina
  • Twelve Monkeys
  • The Fifth Element
  • Miss Austen Regrets
  • The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby

  • Breaking Dawn Part II
  • Mansfield Park
  • Pretty Woman
  • Snow Cake
  • Rain Man
  • Jurassic Park
  • Silver Linings Playbook

  • The Words
As you can see my February has some sort of pattern. Period movies in Jane Austin style. And it seems that I tend to get in Austin mood once a year.
Other theme you can witness is chain of movies about mental illnesses. Fun. My February sure was bright!
And I order you all to watch ANNA KARENINA. This movie can pick a fight with my other favourite movie - Becoming Jane. But I think it already won. Cinematography, acting, performances, just pure pleasure to watch, and the movie just captures all your emotional strings and gently pulls them, till your soul is in the movie, next to Anna's.

Movies Of 2012


So I have been making lists of movies I have seen, for more than two years now. And I wanted to put that list here as well, who knows what's gonna happen with my notebook over the years, but we all know that internet stays constant, or maybe I just feel like organizing and listing something.
Every movie reminds me of the time and mood I was in, while watching it.

Wake up call


Tākā šobrīd visi ir aktīvi sākuši blogu drukāšanu, izdomāju, ka jāadzīvina šis dusošais skaistulis no miega- Labrīt!
Jā, es vēlētos rakstīt angliski, jo man vajadzētu praktizēties un visu radīt redzamu plašākai publikai, bet man kauns (lielie valodas spečuki mani apēdīs dzīvu, (jā, jā Agnes, tu tagad esi angļu zemē tev jau ir jābūt spečukam)) un nebūšu tak show-offs (ups), lai māktos ar savu neko visiem virsū un gan jau, ka to es vēl paspēšu.
Vajadzētu tādu aparātu, kas automātiski pieraksta tavas domas, jo tieši šobrīd, apsēžoties pie datora (precīzāk- paņemot datoru klēpītī) viss ģeniālais pačab.
Nekas nav viegli un pieaugt ir grūti, pieturēšos pie šāda ievadmoto.

Nekad neesmu sevi uzskatījusi par spožāko Latvijas patriotu (mana aizbraukšana jau liecina lietas), bet tā jau ir, kad, ja tev vairs kaut kas nav, tad to sāc novērtēt, vai acknowledge (nu kāds nu bija šis vārds?) piemēram 11.novembri. Jā, diena, kad pēkšņi latviešu nācija pārtop patriotos, bet kāpēc ne? Labāk tā nekā nekād.
Angļi arī neatpaliek, šeit viņi nedēļu staigāja ar sarkanu magonītes piespraudi, lai atcerētos un pieminētu britu kritušos kareivjus. Lielie biznesmeņi savos Armani uzvalkos pat atļaujas caurdurt atlocīti, un šāds skats gan metro, gan uz ielas tiešām ieslida sirdi. Ak, jā, es naivā meitene, kas reizēm tic, vai grib ticēt cilvēku vispārējam laipnumam un labumam.

Un tad tas viss comes crushing down (pa pirktiem Agnes, pa pirkstiem) brīdī, kad saproti, ka naudas nav un tev neviens viņu tāpat no laba prāta nedos. Un tad kāds idiots tev nosper telefonu brīdī, kad šķiet, ka nu jau dzīvei jāiet uz augšu, vai vismez tā kā paredzēts. Jā, par daudz iedziļināties un domāt par to kāpēc tā un nevis citādāk, nav visai labi un one might say, ka jāizbauda maziedzīves prieki un citas tādas smalkas lietas.

Nākat pacīnīties ar dzīvi, mazie!

I am off and out, jo no plānotā ieraksta nekas nesanāca (nu bet protams).
P.S. Atsūtat sniegu, lai valsts paralizējas un 2 000 angļu mārciņas rītdienas laikā, lai man ir sava dzīvesvieta.

-Agnese

Moby - Destroyed

Discovery of today.
I accidentally found Playboy and started to skim it and on the music page was this.
So I ran at my computer to google it and here I am Mesmerized of this song:


It sucks you in and makes you feel extremely sensual.
As I read in article, he couldn't sleep, so instead of pointless loafing he wrote an album!

I'll never see what you wanted... love
I was the hell that you needed... oh
I was the one when you needed love
I was the one when you needed love

Ready to Leave for Dresden


So I don't know how to start this properly, I will try my best to write this short, so I won't annoy you all to death.
Interesting part was when we had to leave at 5 am and of course, we woke up late, at 3 am, so in those 2 hours we packed, coloured hair and eyebrows and ate! We are superwomen!

Purpose of Trip was singing in Church and in small festival in Kamenický Šenov with our choir.
So we were ready to leave! Our boys from choir started drinking and did it for rest of 18 hours. This is the part which I really don't understand-
How one can drink so much vodka and beer and everything and don't get sick of it? How's that physically possible?
I was really annoyed with them. Loud, Rude and Drunk they were. :/ So the beggining wasn't the best.
We get trough Lithuania very fast and then, Yes It's never-ending Poland. No offence to people who live there, maybe Poland is beautiful, but from my point of view, which was trough bus window, it's so square, angular and loaded with advertisements. They pops out from every bush and tree. That country makes me feel depressed. Industries everywhere and it never ends. 12 hours to get trough it.
Ah and I caught glimpse of Royal Wedding in Poland's gas station on TV, while standing in row for toilet. :D

And the time when we reached Wrocław I already was half dead. My stomach was aching and my limbs were numb and I couldn't walk properly, I was swinging from side to side, but what do you expect , I was on bus for 18 hours?
Hotel was in USSR style. Nothing luxus, but ok.

Day 2.

Breakfasts and again on wheels.
I could feel the change in landscapes as we were trundling closer to German border. Beautiful.
At the time when we reached Czech border I was already in awe from beauty outside the window. I am not gonna tell now how beautiful were trees, forests, fields, mountains, animals, go and See yourself! ;D
And Now we could truly die from happiness as we rolled in Kamenický Šenov .
City was small and breathtakingly stunning. Tiny streets, colourful little houses and surrounded by mountains .
So we went to the first glass school ever and visited glass privet exposition.
And went on the top of small monticule, to the small festival, were we sang many songs in wind.
They have beer cheaper than Coca Cola. :D
Our Hotel was Glorious, really. I jumped in bed from excitement for about 5 minutes. The view from window was just -amazing!


So we bought candies, cheap red wine and turned on our Lcd Tv and watched Worldwide Ice Hockey Championship. And how ironic was it, the game was Latvia against Czech Republic! :D Later we run to the nearest pub where everyone were watching it too and citizens were shocked when couple of young people jumped and screamed when Latvia got goal! :D Their faces were like- wtf are they doing, we are losing man!
Anyway we tried to be prudent, didn't want to get in any trouble. We lose 4:2
:/
So despite the fact that tomorrow we had to sing in church early in morning we got kinda drunk and everybody loved everyone losers and winners equally. And did I say that, Beer is really cheap there? It is.

Day 3

So half asleep we survived early morning in church and here we go, we were free from singing! :D
I so didn't want to leave this ambassadorial room and village.

We visited some great Country park in Germany. There were huge cliffs in forest and hills. I think we walked many kilometers.
But next stop Germany Dresden!
Fact, 15 square kilometer of It were bombarded during II World War and since then it's rebuild from ashes. Incredible.
It was pretty late in Sunday when we reached City and our hotel. And again we got the best Rooms with huge windows and view to whole cityscape, while others were sleeping in double store beds!
Ate at those kebab type of restaurant and went for a little walk round corner at night. Drank cherry beer and made crazy photos in photo booth.

Day 4

Best Hotel breakfasts this far. And ready to wonder around the city. And I really don't know how to describe all amazing, smiling people and artistic shops and streets and city center, old town and the fact that everything is rebuild in art-nouveau style made it more incredible.
Too bad that we had deadline- 5 pm we had to leave. So these 6 hours in town was in a hurry. And what irritated me the most was fact that Saturn didn't accept Visa Cards, so I couldn't buy new earphones! :@
And German language is really funny, and I am glad that I understood some words.
Danke Schon Dresden!

In Bus we all got drunk with our choir conductor and sang out loud. Cheap red wine kicked hard, bus was reeling and we were wobbling around. Madhouse!
;D

Day 5

Bus flew trough Poland like we were on fire or somebody's chasing us. It was impossible to find comfortable position to sleep in. Everything was falling apart and bus looked like mess. And I desperately wanted a cigarette break. When we finally got out I felt like junkie. Shaking and swinging from side to side and head felt like giant bucket!
Non-stop driving, everyone were sleeping. And now when I think of it, maybe I slept a bit, but I really don't know. Weird.

And As I am leaving something beautiful it's raining and HURTS- Stay comes up on shuffle.
Trip was Great. Sometimes too much deadlines and hurry and I couldn't handle same people any longer, but after all again I want to cry as I see people living in such an amazing places and actually LIVING not surviving.
I Think I am really ready to leave.

P.S. Sorry for crappy pictures, it's from my mobile phone. There, hopefully, will be more.

Decent Post


What is decent post in blog anyway? Everyone is typing what they want without any standards what should blog contain!

So I am gonna whine a little more about myself and my life and my future!

Maybe some of you know, that I am studying Web Design. At first I thought that I am gonna like it, because I am kinda artistic and I kinda really like computers (lol really?) But After 2nd year I am doubting it, and this is my 3rd year and I am trying to stick and finish it till the end. Hate this.
There are some programs I hate. Adobe Flash, Adobe Dreamviewer and Notepad!

Now again I am ball of confusion. Fucking Gemini.
I can start many many things, because I am interested in many things, but to finish one?! No No, not me.
I may have talent in every area, but I can't call myself extra talented in any.

So what the hell I am gonna do with my life?
One is sure, I am not gonna try and survive in this country. That wouldn't be living. Sorry Latvia, you've let me down too many times, and I can't breath here.

I want to study Journalism, Reporter. To have my own Tv Show. To be recognized. But do I want it in Latvia, If I feel like running away and never looking back?
Will I be good enough to achieve something so big in UK?
Doubts, doubts, confusion and insecurity.

I need society and I want to be alone.
