Profile of Anna Veltmane (f)

Hi Anna, hope things are ok :))

Annnnnnnnna, where are you where are you where are you??????????? The sisters and brothers are missing you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVpv8-5XWOI

Annie, I really hope you'll sign in to the site when you're back from your vacation. We're missing you! :) Kisses

Anna!
how are you?)
tell me what's new
this summer was something very fussy and wonderful at the same time. tell me about yours.

I've missed you too Annie!!!! Hope you're alright, girl?... :) :)

Hi Anna, yep been watching Eurovision (and otherwise very busy)...I'm pleased to say that I picked the first six as probable winners (but didn't necessarily get the right order...thought Belgium should have been placed higher) so overall a very satisfying contest for me (thought Sweden should have made the final though and still amazed that the hideously wonderful Ik Ben Verliefd didn't make it either....think I'll get over it though!! lol) How're things in Latvia these days?

Anna....your pictures are amazing. You are quite a good photographer. I guess I was right. Latvia is beautiful. I loved the insects, cows, Riga, and the flower bed of a ladybug :)

Hi....you're welcome! I'm glad you accepted :) Happy you read my blog. I still think Germany was not the best but I have no vote. I bet your country is beautiful.

thank you and god bless you.

everybody seems to be silent these days)
they must be busy)
so Germany won, and I'm happy about it.
I'm only disappointed about Russia being so underrated.

Have you recovered yet from semi final 1 :-(

it was bad lol

ay Anna that German song is wonderful)

Auk Anna

not your fault Latvia have sent that song (just tell me you didnt vote fo it in the televote ------ you did, ddint you lol)

I love the build up to ESC from June to May lol

UPDATE FROM ME . Replaced Turkish entry with the Armenian entry after seeing Turkeys BAD stage-act.. (in my Top 18 for 2010) Armenia's 2nd rehearsel convinced me i was wrong in the first place

Elo Anna how are you

Thanks for the invite to your friends list

Are you looking forward to ESC -- even if Latvia have a dreadful song -- im sorry lol

Hi Anna, Thanx for the add... If it were up to me ESC 2011 will be in Riga... What for? is my absolute favorite

mmm, I've listened to a couple of entries so far, but i got bored soon, so I think I'll leave it as it is and let it all be a surprise for me)
I can only say I like Russian entry and I don't like ours
Latvia isn't bad this year too, you know:)

I totally agree with Paul about your look:)
you look just wonderful!

Hi Annie, like your new look, it really does suit you :))...looking forward to the competition and I really do think the standard is probably the best ever. I agree with your comments (at least I think it was you) ref the Latvian song ...the first version I heard must have been from the national competion(having just won) so she was a bit emotional I suppose and definately off key but the official version was great...hope everything is going well in your world:)

Hi Anna, Good luck to Latvia this year.
Who are your favourites?
Mine are, Germany, France, Serbia, Belgium, Russia, Estonia. Also are you on Facebook? Jamie :) xx

Ups !I forgot about the winner of 2010
I have noticed that many people like Armenian song.I think all of my fawourites has good chances to get in first 10. But i would like to say that Denmark has quite melodical song. I think The Danish entry is going to win Oslo 2010!!!
Have a nice weekend!

Hello Anna It is nice to hear you!
At first I would like to say whwt i think about Eirodziesma 2010.Actually ,my favourite was Kristina Zaharova,she had a wounderfull song, she has a wounderfull voice ,you know.I like her perfomance`s. At the beggining i was quite sceptical-minded about her performance, but now deep inside i fell that she is not that bad, and could claim for good position,anway, better than last year.It was real shame for Us!
Regarding to thais years contest in Oslo my fawourites are Sweden,Denmark,Malta,Ireland,Slovakia,Macedonia(I hate that FYR )

Knock-knock. Anybody home... at all?.. :s

Hello ANNA !How are you doing? I still remember what you said last year -it was Norway is going to win,But i would like to ask you who do you think is going to win this year in Oslo2010
I really hope to hear your opinionmit is worth to know that.
Latvian maris

Happy Easter, Annie!!! Hope you are surrounded by love, peace and all the good things you need this spring :)

Anna, do you have a national fruit (or one that would count as a national symbol)? (qst triggered by the Armenian apricot :) If not, which is the fruit that, say, brings back the best memories for you? :) A hug

Nah, I'm kinda disappointed of last year's contest and don't like our this year's entry, so I suppose I'll check them out a little later if I have time:)

Ah! I like Melua and this song as well:))
how are you, Anna?

Knowing what a 'stickler' you are Annie I feel I need to say that there was one too many is's in my previous reply :D take care and I hope your world's good :)))))))

Let's pretend this is a warm summer night and we can lie down on the greengreen grass here in your happy garden and gaze at the stars. while listening to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7RLvQvVBzY and maybe sipping some ice cold lemonade or somethin :))

Annie, I know it's been a long, long time, but bear with me... Many things, including a holiday, happened since we last spoke, I'll tell you more about it in an email :) For now I just want to say that I've missed you loads, girlfriend :))))))))))))))) hope everything's alright in your world.. and that It's Not Too Late http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TwcmKfbmk0 :)

Hi Annie...just back from my hols....just working up to a blog or a post about some things I experienced...I've put some music that I'm into at present on Fab's profile if you want to have a listen. Hope all's well with you and your family.:)

Annie, you've chosen such a beautiful spot for planting our tree! Thank you soooooooooo much!! :)))))))))))))))) So here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sndi5WBR3M (thanks God it's magic and it can fly... 'cos otherwise it would've been quite a nuisance for me to drag it all the way from Britland!). At this point all we should do is make sure it keeps growing :)))))))))))))) Wishes and good spells are more than welcome!

Ah, Anna, I really like this pic!

Hi Annie...big hug for the New Year ... just read your post on Fabi's profile about Latvian Xmas dinners...sounded great although being a bit of a wimp the pigs head thing was a bit scary for me!!!! :DD My main rule is never eat anything that is looking back at you!!! :DD Although....come to think of it ...I did spend most of New Years eve holding a dried pigs ear for my daughters diabetic dog without much of a care in the world...until she told me the next day what it was!!!! Loooooool Too late by then...and to think I actually had a 'go' of it just to see why he found it so nice!! (Ok there wasn't much on the telly!!)...take care...and I hope you don't mind us planting the remains of the xmas tree in your garden :)))))))))

glad to hear it :)))))))) and wow, you have sooooo many interesting superstitions about Xmas dinner! my favourite one was the sun-bringing round biscuits, I must adopt it this year :))))))))))))

P.S. Annie, it's high time we took Paul's virtual Xmas tree down and I was wondering... is it ok to plant it here, in the happy garden?.. :)

just sharing my newest discovery (courtesy of Mike) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNK2Mau6kQ4

I think I'm an hour late though!!

Happy New Year Annie..:)))))

Thank you thank you thank you for the Happy Birthday song :))))))))))))))))))))) and a Marvelous Gorgeous Fabulous Prosperous Califragilistic Fantastic HAPPY NEW YEAR to you, dear Annie! :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) xxxxxxxxxxxxx

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo7jpJBLMOA

Annie I see u have visitors (it's sooooo nice to meet you here as well, Mick! :)))))))))))), so I'll only bother u with one question: Are you going to cook something special for New Year's Eve? In Romania there are all sorts of superstitions about it... like for instance it is said that eating fowl on this occasion brings poverty and bad luck, while fish is a Must Have, cos it's supposed to bring prosperity... All sorts of nonsense like that :))))))))) xx

Hi Anna
I cannot believe I haven't got in touch with you direct since April. Please accept my apologies. I haven't been ignoring you though. I am so interested in reading what other members of the Eurovision Family are chatting about, that I end up not having the time to write anything myself.
Have you listened to the Albanian entry yet. If so what do you think of it ?

Hey Annie here's my Christmas carol gift
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbwlbNgCaNA

You know, we also have winter solstice mummer performances, but I just can't find any decent vids of it... :(
Paul, loved the Dean Martin song (actually one of my favourite Xmas songs; oh, and take ur time, there's no hurry... just make sure you post the carol THIS year! :p)

and guys, it's really great to have such a nice virtual family :)

oh and here's one of my favourite Xmas songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvDxSW8mzvU

Annie, what about having some mulled wine at Paul's (virtual place)? As the magic cocoa I left for you a while ago, it has magic powers: it stays hot throughout Christmas! :)

Oh....and it snowed here last night and it was beautiful :))))))) but it's all gone now :(( Lol

Happy Christmas dear Annie, hope this works ( and I know Fabi that it's not actually a Christmas carol....I'm still researching that!!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN7LW0Y00kE
I really hope you have a nice Christmas holiday :)))))))

Thank you so much, dear Anna :))))))))))))))))) Do you know that all your happy trees are lit? I love this place :)

I say we improvise a "multicultural" Xmas, starting with sharing some traditional carols or Christmas songs from our countries. What do you think? :)
Here are two Romanian carols

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw_KJEH02_c (the orchestration is not the original one, but the lyrics are :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMoj_3HiAnw

Have a peaceful Christmas, my dear :) xxx

Annie, if you don't mind, I'll take you on a very short trip to my childhood, 'cos that's the time when I could really feel the Christmas magic. It was as if I could touch it with my fingers, and that's something only a child can do :)

When I was little we used to have great Christmas parties, with at least twenty family members and friends coming together. I would be ecstatic about every little detail, the tree, the gifts, the smell of winter, all the attention I got :p (oh c'mon I was a kid!!).... Though there were several young people taking part at these family dinners, it was my grandparents and their siblings who set the tone for the party. I can still remember their laughs while telling stories, the games we played, the smell of food (though I always saved some place for desert! lol), the taste of cherry brandy (yeah, I KNOW I was too young to drink, but I only used to sip a tiny bit... it was the only time I was allowed to! lol), but what I absolutely LOVED about these parties was when "the elders" started singing carols and old Romanian songs. That's how I learned all the lyrics to several such songs by heart and, well, the joy of living as well (their joy was simply infectious; I think I've never met such cheerful people in my life). To give you an idea of the overall atmosphere, here's some of the songs we used to sing on such occasions:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLhNBkJx4Tc (it is about a man who's riding a horse drawn sleigh to get to his sweetheart's place on a winter evening; he doesn't mind the snow and the cold as long as he can reach her :))))))))))))))))))))

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JrPK3-gfP4 (very similar to the first one :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hocO4aU53GY (an ode to wine :))))))))))))

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6T8XKnMPug (a girl's "invitation" to Ionel, her lover, to visit her at night, when her mom is asleep; did our grandmothers know how to have fun or what? :p :))))))))))))))))

It's awfully nice to listen to these tunes again. I haven't listened to them in quite a while... They take me to a very happy place :) I can still remember my grandma's smile while I was singing them (completely out of tune!). So this is dedicated to her memory.

Anna, I hope you enjoyed the trip as much as I did.
Cheers! :)

Indeed, I'm a real tree fan myself :) probably that's why, after putting my little plastic tree up this year (much earlier than usual: when I was a kid, we used to put the tree up only on Xmas Eve), I thought something was missing... at first I thought it was the smell of pine trees, but then I realized it had nothing to do with it :)

Annie, I've got a confession to make... I've put a "false" tree up this year...yep. it's cos I want to save the planet and the whales and all. nah, it's only cos I'm selfish and wanted to enjoy the Xmas tree a bit longer.... Yes, yes, I'm an awful person!! :p

Yeah, but I had it by myself, cos you guys were busy doing other things :( but we'll have to make up for it, won't we?? :)))

Welcome back Annie, we missed you loads :))))) ....hey looks as if someone had a welcome back party whilst I wasn't looking!!! DOH!!!

and here's a welcome back song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyQVjGdJ60g
:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Annie, I'm sooooooo glad you're back!!!!!!!! :)))))))))))))))))))) we were starting to worry in most obvious ways, as you've noticed..

can't wait to find out more about nice Latvian winter moments. Speculate away :)))))))))))))))))) xxx

Look who showed up)) come and join us on my profile))
and a song I want to share
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG9rsTV9eAo

So Paul, how long would it take to get to Riga? Do you have a direct flight from JLA?

Hey Fabi, do you want me to get my Detective's coat and scary hat out and make some enquries out Riga way to make sure that Annie's ok?? You only have to say and I'm on an easy jet out of JLA, yer know lah (as we say in Scouseland) !! :)

You know, I really think the expression 'I laughed till I cried' is a truly horrid one. I mean, wouldn't it be much much better the other way around? if we cried till we laughed, if someone came along and wiped away our tears and made us smile and laugh again? (now if you're wondering what my point is, there's none whatsoever. I just miss talking to you :)

hope everything's ok and you'll turn up soon.... xxx

Annie, I sure hope you're ok.... Anyways, I've started a new topic on Nel's profile. "Things I like about this winter". You're more than welcome to join us whenever you can spare a moment and feel like sharing stuff going on in your everyday "winter" life :)))))))))))))))))))
(I kinda miss the "old gang" lol)

more hugs than the usual "amount"! :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

The bad news is that I've experienced a work-related zombification (again!), and the good news is that now that's over and (hopefully) I'm back to my better self again, but the best news is that I've finally had the chance to see your gallery. Wow. Loved absolutely everything about it (how lovely does 'butterfly dance' sound? XD), especially the light&sound perfomances at the Blackheads' House and the Latvian Music Academy :))))))))))))))) simply beautiful, wish I had been there (has anyone said Riga is better in spring-summer time?? What a big fat lie!!! looooooooool) Oh, and now I see you really ARE a witch! :)))))))) "Yeah, the flag of Latvia"? :))))))))))) It's obvious to me that the wind is suspiciously obedient to you :p
P.S. Lovely voice as well. One made for story-telling :)))))))))))))))))) love you XD

..hmmmmm....I must say it's SO unfair I'm not in Riga right now...
Can't wait for the photo gallery!!!!!

Finally a rainy day I enjoy :) On such days I really miss my coloring books! lol btw Annie, what do you do on rainy days??
A hug :)))))))))))))))))))))

Annie, thanks for the pics (even if you did 'cheat' Loooool) There's some nice music from Portugal on Fab's profile (well I think it's nice anyway!!! :D)

Annie, here's a virtual cup of hot cocoa I prepared especially for you. You can take a sip whenever you need to feel better, safe, loved, revigorated aso. It is magic! :)

So I was watching the news this afternoon and they showed how beautiful Moscow was last night, all covered in snow... a true winter wonderland... Well, I'm crippled with envy! Anyway, Annie, do you know how to ice skate??? Cos I don't :( and still that's exactly what I feel like doing right now! (though I've tried it once and almost fell flat on my face loooooooooool)

Just close enough for me to feel the need to throw a couple of eggcup fulls of water over it!! Loool It was worth the 'effort' just to see the 'fun' !!!DD

I know nobody's deaf, but at least our shouting has worked, yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!! :)))))))))))))))))))))) As for the glass of milk, it can't hurt so I'll take it! :))))))) Oh and I'm so glad you can finally relax a bit :))))))))))))))) Make sure to share some pics with us!

biiiiiiiiiiig hug

Hey...it's Bonfire Night here when we celebrate burning some poor sod to death several centuries ago just cuz he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament!! Anyway it sounds like there's a small war going on with all the fireworks and my neighbour has just managed to set fire to a bush in his garden with one!!!!!!!! Loooooooooool They're trying to put it out with cups of water!!! :DDDDDD
I never did like it!!!!!

Wow Annie you're back!! I think it's fair to say that we have all missed you :)))))))) Snow in Latvia !!!!!!!! That should please Fab cuz she's almost dying for snow in Romania Looooooooool Now I'm looking forward to some great photos of Riga in the snow!! Can't wait......but I will be patient :D
Snow.....hmmmmmm....... so you'll be on snow patrol then, so this seems appropriate (actually it's the only one I could find that didn't depress the hell out of me !! )Loooooooooool
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfZUxPF7AMI
Don't go chasing cars yourself cuz on the slippery roads it could be dangerous (well especially without grownups present :DD) I did it once but biting the tyres hurt my teeth!!!!!!

Anniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee kur jūs esat !!! :)))))))))))))) (really do hope that means what I think it does ??!! Loooool)

Annie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Annie, hope you're ok. :))))))))

Annie, here's a song from me for when you get back from your trip :))))))))))))))))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s901V3GvELQ
(I think this kind of music can really help happy trees grow faster!)

"thery're georgeous", aren't they? :D :D One more spelling decoration from the "sleepwriting" category loooooooool Keep'em coming, Paul! :p

Annie, have a great weekend! :)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hi Annie, don't work too hard will you? Keep the pictures coming 'cos thery're georgeous :))))))))))))))))

Annie, what about bringing some more "decorations" for the xmas tree??? (it can be anything, not necessarily pictures :))))))))))

Beautiful as always!:) thanks so much:)

Thank soooo much for sharing those wonderful pictures!!!! :)))))))))))))))))))))

Thanks Annie, I'm checking it out now. :)))

Do the rest of us get a look?? Did I spoll that right!! Lol

yay!!!! I've just looked at the pics :))))))))))))))) beautiful! why don't you post some here as well? :)

Annie, is everything ok?.. What have you been up to these days? I'm missing you, and waiting (patiently?) for some new wonderful pictures :))))))))))))))

Isn't it strangely calm and peaceful now that Fab's back Loooooool ( I know I'll get told off by her for lack of originality but I just don't care!! Looooooooooool)

Here's a nice lil friendship song from me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRF5OXnA_to
It says things like "friendship is the most beautiful country" and it may sound sort of childish, but I really like it! :)))))))))))

Oh, I'm so glaaaaaaaaad you're ok and we're all back together again!!! and Paul when you're right you're right:
1) Anna has a beautifully poetic writing style
and
2) I'll show no mercy if you go to Riga alone!!! looooooool

Annie, when will you post some new pictures?? cos I miss your pics too!! :)))))))))))))))

Anna, is that you on Facebook?

Hey Anna, thanks for that ! :)))))))))
That explains why you always write such 'poetic' English. I love the way you formulate sentences, they're beautiful, so it figures! :))))))))))) Perhaps sometime soon I'll go to Riga but not to upset Fab I'll invite her along as well, if we ever find her again! :) She's basically told me that my life will not be worth living if I ever met you before she did!! Loooooooooooooooool. Good night, sleep tight!! :)))

Hey what are this talks about Fab being hit by a bus! don't say such things! I'm sure she is ok! Glad to see you with us again! and though work was tiresome I hope you enjoyed it! i'v also taken my last exam today and so now I'm not as busy as I was!

Thank you Anna, it's sooooo good to know that you are ok :)))))))))))))) We've missed you :)) So you've been very busy, well I hope things have settled down a bit now. Are you able to share any of these events or would that not help?
I see that you,also, have no contact with Fab. Perhaps she will be back soon but it's not knowing if she's still in Italy or stuck in a dark place or if she's been hit by a bus (!!!!!) that makes you feel so helpless. I'm so glad you're back though. :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Anna! where are you? we miss you!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLsrCrXF_tY&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDs06u63iiM&feature=related

Anniiiiiiieeeeeeeeee !! (Just trying something out that I've tendered to Nelly as almost foolproof Lol )

Sveiki Anna, still working too hard?
I was looking at your photos again......stop me if I've said this before but the one of you sat by the fire should be an Album cover!! It would look great on a Prata Vetra CD :)))
Fab's gone to Italy until Tuesday and I've been told that I must look after the 'girls' (hey I'd have done that anyway) Lol.
How are things? Are you ok?

Annie you've been so quiet these days..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06w3u8XdvpM

I've heard you've got a backache...how are you?

Oh, so that's why it's so difficult to find my way out at times! :p
Anna, how's your back?...

Fabiana sometimes your so 'deep' that all I can hear is a beautiful echo...echo....echo...echoooo :)

'Said one oyster to a neighboring oyster, “I have a very great pain within me. It is heavy and round and I am in distress.”

And the other oyster replied with haughty complacence, “Praise be to the heavens and to the sea, I have no pain within me. I am well and whole both within and without.”

At that moment a crab was passing by and heard the two oysters, and he said to the one who was well and whole both within and without, “Yes, you are well and whole; but the pain that your neighbor bears is a pearl of exceeding beauty.” '
Khalil Gibran
:)

DOH!!!! Not the last one the middle one!!!! :D

Right this is all your fault!!!! :))))))))))) Curiosity led to these others (had a good time listening to them and discovered loads more great songs that I'd allowed myself to forget about)
The last one was a favourite of Donna's guaranteed to get her up 'dancin' ! :))))))

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONc3OMOb98I&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHTI31XuQxk&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1BJ03EeBgc&feature=related

Anna, great choice loved Curiosity my favourite was the old Johnny Bristol cover they did Hang on in there Baby. I had it on a cassette which I played continuously until I could do the 'rap' part of the song perfectly!! :D Just played it again and I'm struggling now!!!:DD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbbGc0sQrms

Aching back?..:( ....In that case, Annie, here's a "get well soon" singing card from me. It's a four-in-one: beautiful song, singer, vid and metaphor :)))))))))))))))))))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fW4paX7cDk

I'm learning new words everyday here. Anyway it was only curiosity that killed it!! Apparently some nice woman said 'here Kitty. Kitty and it thought gosh she looks kind!!!! Looooooool

It seems I've started an epidemy over here, so I'm just checking to see whether you're ok, girl. Oh, and don't worry, I promise I won't harm your cat! LOL

Annie, you're one of the few persons I haven't yet "attacked" with my Nick Cave mania, but this time I shall not "spare" you, girl: here is what I consider to be a beautiful, beautiful Leonard Cohen tribute song :))))))))))))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwIZdh6MqIo

(this was my twisted way of saying I love you too. LOTS :)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Oh and, Anna, we're having tea at my profile come and join us:)

Oh actually I'm free until tuesday so I can forget about my homeworks for a while...hope you're not gettin too exhausted with your job either:) And thanks for the wonderful pics:) I liked them very much...

Anna, most of the noises I'm making after looking at your pictures I don't know how to spell!!!! Stunned !!! and slightly confused as well because if you made one picture by having a car drive up and down how come the car isn't in the picture??? Or is it just because it's dark? If it were in daylight would you be able to see lots of images of the car or a big blur? Loved the light drawings :))))))))) And do you live next door to the zoo????? I wish I had birds like that in my garden!!!!!! :)) And what can I say about the Moon, you sucked me in with the first one and blew me out with the close up. The answer's on Fabs site :DD Blimey what a comeback !! Looooooool

Anniiiiieeeeeeeee!! kur jūs esat?? Kā jums klājas??? :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wi1d0FNgdQ

..hope you'll be back soon....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZMWgW6QNuw

Ok, now I'm officially worried....

Where are you 2?

Anna, where are you?...Is everything ok?..

A word of warning, girl: Paul is shrewd. Don't show him any more "snowy" pictures, cos then he'll just say Latvia is also beautiful in winter and use it as an excuse to go and visit you before I do!!!!!! We can't let it happen, can we?...

Annie, may I call you that ? What's the name of that domed church in the snow that you showed us? Was it in Riga? Do you have any more 'snowy' pictures? How's things ?

How are you today, Annie? I'm sort of like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPCPIzgRarM
:))))))))))))))))))))))))
A nice, nice autumn Monday to you!!!! XD

Hey just don't tell me I missed another birthday!:((( Hit me with something heavy right on my head:( I've been choosing birthday present for you for hours with the hope of being forgiven:) not so Happy-Birthday-ish present, just something that makes me happy so I hope it'll make you happy too:)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rmil_raUtU
as beautiful as your soul:)
be happy, Anna!

Thanks Anna, I'm told I have that effect on most people !! :))))))))))))))))))))))

Ok, so now there's only one gladiator missing...She must be enjoying autumn a great deal! :)))))))))))))))))))))

Hey Anna, I'm as thoughtless as a thoughtless person, hope you enjoyed your birthday yesterday. As a very happy unbirthday present, seeing as Fab's choice was so moving I decided that something sophisticated was needed :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Hope it works

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg&feature=fvw

Oh, BTW, I don't know if you're a big football fan or anything, but I'm really rooting for Latvia to make it to the WC... I know it's a long shot, but what the heck, I still want them to beat Greece and Switzerland!!!

Well, isn't this a special day???!!! You know I'm not as elocuent as Fab, and reading what she's posted, I guess it's just hard to beat (not that it's a contest or anything!!! lol). Anyway, I just wanted to drop by and wish you a very happy birthday, and that all your dreams come true, from the bottom of my heart (and my really cerebral brain lol). Kisses, hugs, a toast for you, and well... let there be many many more, with a lot of health and love all around you!!!

Annie, though we’ve only known each other for a few months, it feels as if we’d laughed, cried and smiled together for a lifetime.

To thank you for the unique chance of entering your wonderful world, my gift for you today is not a Happy Birthday song, but a ride to a deeper level of my soul. We’ll do that through music and the departing point will be The Great Bridge, of course :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn8zSTwQNoQ

You’re one of the most sensitive, yet toughest fighters I’ve ever known and that’s why you deserve the best. Today and for the rest of your life.

A Gladiator’s Salute

Thanks a lot!!! I did it!!!! So, how've you been??

Hey Anna, Fabs been on the sofa at mine all day throwing kleenexes all over (though, God bless her, she tidied up before she left) :D I like that idea of hers it would be 'awesome' wouldn't it !! :))))))))))))))))

Oh, you shouldnt have!...wow..but i guess it would've been pretty hard to sum it up in two or three words...it's so sad and beautiful, but with a happy ending...thank you so so much!!!!!!! XD

but you know i loved the song before understanding it, right?...I really did...

thanks again, girl, you're something else when it comes to friendship XD

A HUGE HUG

Annie, you're here too????????? this is just what happiness is XD

Anna, what is Renars singing about in your picture?

There's no shame in being crazy, you know! :p Oh, and Paul, I think you should go to Krakow, because:
1) it'd be sooooooo unfair if you get to meet Anna in person before I do!!! :))))))))))))))))))))
2) I have several missions ahead and really don't think I can make a trip to Latvia this year...
3) wouldn't it be awesome if we ALL met in Riga or anywhere else next year?????

P.S. Annie, I LOVE YOU too!!!!!!! :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Crazy amateur! I think not, well….crazy maybe but it seems it’s catching:))))) Do you know the best thing? I get to look at these pictures anytime I like now. Hmmmm…….thinking of going to Kracow or Riga before December what do you think ? :D

Anna, I love Latvia:))))
I love your photos!
And I love you! (that was an official proposal.LOL)

OMG, Paul, "speechless" AND "breathless" (though I guess it figures: speaking must be hard if one lacks air ...)????????? Oh, you're sooooo lucky you're my friend, cos I really wouldn't have spared you otherwise!!!! (cos I'm also fond of shooting, ya know. Men and women, at random. Only that I don't use a camera for doing that :p)

Anna, I’m almost totally speechless . And breathless (well worse than that actually). The photographs are stunning, absolutely stunning. And I loved that you ‘remembered me’ a doorway.
Pūt Vējiņi was beautifully sung. Just as I was recovering I played the second link whilst running the slideshow again….just can’t describe it, words fail me.
Hey it's Monday and the wait was so, so worth it. Thank you :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_miHFxG1yuQ

totally makes me smile. hope it's infectious :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hi Anna, Finally managed to access the site again, hope you're doing okay. Speak later probably. :)))

You seem to be spending quite a nice time here:))))

Anna, I say we enjoy what's left of the summer even if work always seems to get in the way...Today I'm taking you to beautiful Asia :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyA-mH0kD0Y
(you might wanna skip the first part of the vid, or maybe you can understand what the guy is saying. I can't! :p)

How's what? The weather in Romania? The sun is shining in the sky, that's all I can tell you :))))))))))) Oh, you meant how's Rodrigo (cos he's the only Mexican person I'd keep my fingers crossed for; that's cos I don't cross my fingers at random, for people I don't know or care about, DOH!)? Well, he's officially a lawyer now. With honors :D Yay!!!!!!!!!!! Mission accomplished, girl :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

(between you and me, I don't like lawyers very much - that doesn't apply to Rodrigo, of course. Do you?)

Since we're already in Brazil, I say we go a little farther and stop in Mexico, cuz we have some finger crossing to do over there. I certainly hope you're in! :))))))))))))))))

Annie, today I feel like going to Brazil, so hop into my magic jet plane and let's fly over. Soundtrack for our lil trip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gTI5cP4sBY
We'll go to the beach, have some caipirinhas, and then get back home in the evening :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Yesterday I was on a T-shirt shopping spree (yeah, I'm addicted, I know, but that's only cos it relaxes me a great deal! :p) and at a certain moment I was torn (NOT) between choosing a T-shirt by Svetlana Loboda with a FUCK'N'MACHO (or FUCK THE MACHO or something like that) logo on it, and a cheap one on which a nameless person who probably is not as hot as the Ukrainian diva wrote "Love, Sun and Water - The Perfect Ingredients for A Nice Garden". I don't know why, but I chose the latter :)))))))))) I thought it would be perfect to wear here, in your happy garden :)))))))))))) So when will you join the party????????

Annie, I'm back and I feel like dancing. Hope you'll join me :)))))))))))))))))

Well kinda! Can't go anywhere abroad this year as my parents are a little busy with my bro now and don't have time for such things.but my friend came from Ukraine, she'll stay with me till the end of the month and we're having a lot of fun with her...And another friend of mine who went to Moscow is coming back tomorrow so I'm still expecting some nice time to be spent this summer...

Hey Anna! how are things going?

Hi Anna, just passing through, should be working,take care.

So I'm drinking orange juice with ice cubes and thinking of how amazing it is that we met just in time to be there for each other. For whatever reason. Isn't life wonderful

Hi Anna, :)

As you see, I'm punctual.

a big, big, BIG hug :)

.........................

Anna I really don't know what one should say in such cases...I just want to say that Fab is right...we're right next to you, in spite of being so far away!

May she rest in peace.

Annie, you know we are all here for you. We will drink wine to your mom's memory, and we'll also tell you stupid jokes, make you listen to stupid music and we'll keep it up until all the darkness is gone (and don't think you can get rid of us afterwards :)

ALL MY LOVE

yeah I'll do m best! But I really didn't expect such a good mark from Russian exam! I'm the happy man of the day!:)))

18 out of 20!!!!!!!!!!! The fingercrossing worked this time!!!!!!

Oh, Annie, thank you for those incredibly beautiful words XD (are we sure you were speaking about me?...lol) And thank you for being my friend :)

Sveiki Anna. Labrīt. Found this, I love the dancing and the songs pretty good. Well, I,think so!!:)))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKUb7KorZfs

I also like this one. They're Finnish I believe. Of course I haven't got a clue what they're singing about but it sounds nice and cheerful!!! Made me skip anyway! :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXgVev93kq8&feature=related

In the absence of any return 'slooshes' I'm about to stick my head in the washing machine!!:DD

I just found this as well, it made me smile:))) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGESFaMl84U&feature=related

So I guess by the end of my exams we'll decide who gets the "the best finger-crosser" award...I promised it to Fab, but as you are also going to cross your fingers...the strongest of you will win! LOL How are you, Anna?

Sveiki Anna, Kā jums klājas ? Lai jums laba diena. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTFKPdWw1Gc
How nice, how nice :)
...So, what can I say? Have a niiiiiiiiice weekend!!!!!

I went to my Doctor the other day.
She said,"What's the problem?"
I said," It's odd, some days I feel like I'm a Wigwam and then other days I feel like I'm a Teepee!"
She said,"I know what's wrong"
I said,"What? What is it?"
She said, "You're too tents!!"
:)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmZqb2VVc48 Yeah, it's afternoon, I know!!! So what? :p (the very, very fun part is that almost everybody reading this will think I'm either out of my mind or high lol. well, I'm not.) Let's just enjoy the day, that's what I'm saying.

Happy monkey dance :))))))))))))) Annie, your mom is right: girls should worry about their looks. Damn right! aha aha aha ha
oh, come on, bear with me! this is a happy thought garden after all :))))))))))))))))))))))

Anna. whenever you want to say anything then just say it , it's okay honestly. I haven't got any answers but I will listen:)

I'm sorry to hear . about your MumI think it's fair to say that we are all here, ...whenever.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your mom...

Today when coming from my classes i saw a kid riding a camel and a hen passing by them...........hm.....in the sky....they were clouds....but the main fact is that I saw them:)))

In my prayers there is a piano playing in your mom's woods, and the woods are not dark. They are filled with light
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgDX2xpGwAU

Hi Anna,Just found this again on you tube and particularly like the amusing comments in English:D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcS4vBisJLo&feature=related hopefully that will lead to the right Abba clip:))

Today I've added a perfectly-timed hello to my "Best things in life are free" gallery. It is amazing how such a simple thing can light up your day

this is yet another happy thought for this garden. I don't know wether my timing is perfect, but my smile sure is :))))))))))))))

I discovered this song some time ago and just wanted you to listen to it, I think it's a very good one...I keep listening to it all the time:)

Paul it was cooool!(yeah that link was for Anna I know, but.....:)))))
So I guess it's my turn;)
enjoy dear Anna
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWWOjHikDl8

Nice!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAuQw6enqAQ&feature=PlayList&p=8070FE6CBDB98312&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=34 choice! I don't know if this is to your taste but I like it

This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZKVM9CZDdA has reminded me of a story you've told me a while ago.
hope you like it :)

Ok, I've missed a few days but that melon must have been well fermented cos I can't follow the posts anymore!! Maybe it's the 'machine' it seems to have done that to me in the past Hope everthings ok in your world. Ar labunakti princepessa!

that's because, from all these happy thoughts, your garden feels giddy and likes to pull little pranks on you :))))))))) But they are only meant to make you smile! Don't worry, everything is as visible as it gets :)

Happy answers (given while happily eating a slice of watermelon):

1) Oh, thank you so much! I knew I could trust you with my secrets :)))))))))))
2) I already have my warrior prince and need no other. I need the grasshopper pie recipe just to pull a prank on him when he makes me mad (you wouldn't believe how nasty and cynical such a warrior can be sometimes! and I have a temper too..I'm a witch, for heaven's sake!!)
3) Do you think we rely exclusively on the snow of the fairies for our spells? No, girl! What do you think flowers are for? Or have you actually believed we only use the sanziene flowers for making wreaths? :))))))))))))))
4) Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5) Once I'll tell my great-grandchildren that I know the legendary Annie, the good fairy that can make wishes come true in the blink of an eye :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I wish, I wish, i wish!!! (Nelly is running into Anna's garden with a hungry look on her face)

Annie, stop right there! Is it a real watermelon you're holding? A sweet one? Then it'd be a shame to waste it like that...Let's eat it instead!

Girls, guess what? Paul told me to come here with two water filled baloons and attack you on his behalf. But I refuse to! So here's my plan: let's unite our forces and attack him instead. Are you with me? GIRL POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey do you really think I'm afraid of you? NO way! I'll deal with you even without Anna's help! Boooooooooom!(this was a water bomb if you didn't get it.LOOOL)

So here you were already, you little crawling ...backsplasher! looooooooool Well, you know...what goes around, comes around...if I get wet, you have to get wet as well!!!!!! BANG BANG BANG!!! Oh, and guess what? Anna is not here to help you....What a pity :D

*not crowls but crAwls

Nelly crowls into Anna's garden and pours a pail of water right on Fabiana's head! And then hides behind Anna's back(I'm coward stabing in the back and hiding behind other's backs!LOOOOL)

Fabiana enters Anna's happy garden with an innocent look on her face (but she knows Anna's preparing an ambush :p). What Anna doesn't see is that I'm hiding a water gun behind my back....So, Annie, you wanna play tough, huh? WATER FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

I promise to post smth on traditions and customs some of these days, but right now I gotta run!!! just dropped by to leave a big hug here, in your happy garden :))))))))))))))

Hi Anna, I think I'll leave the jumper behind' last wore it when I was 18 so it sort of looks like a ' boob tube ' now. I really should have known better:D Obviously I've found an Internet Cafe' and just to amuse Fab, yes it's at a 'tragic' site, next to the Utah landing beach near Sainte Maire du Mont. Good Museum there. Well the sun's been shining for two days and Normandy is beautiful. Everything will be fine if I can just stop driving on the wrong side of the road but the French are being very good about, they wave a lot and I wave back. lol. How are you? Hope all's going well. Looking forward to your next blog: ))))) Your last was really interesting:)) Must go now 2 Policemen are waiting to speak to me, something about a traffic violation. Apparently they've just spent the last hour in ditch and seem to think I know something about it.

Will speak in a week if I can't find an Internet cafe in Normandy. Have fun:)

Thank you dear, dear, dear Anna!
17 years old...isn't it a wonderful age?!i'm not a child, but still not an adult(can escape some responsibilities.LOL)

Are you sure you want some of my animals to live in your Zoo?...Cuz many of them are quite wild, you know :))))))))))) I bet your cat won't be too happy about that!

Cancel the help, it's sorted thanks to Fab.

Anna, do you think I should make 'where I've been a blog (short though it may be) or just a posted comment??

Ok, now it is official I'm a simpleton!!!!:D How on earth do you invite someone to be 'your friend' on this thing, I'm definitely missing something!!! Help!!?

Hey Anna, I guess you're right, I'm just getting so much better at planning... and I'm loving it, because I really missed writing here!!
Today, yet again, I'm very happy, and since this is the place of the happy thoughts, I'll share it here!!!
See, I love warm sunny days, but at this time of the year it should be rainning in Mexico (I had already told you that, I know lol), but today the skies are clear, the sun is up and its really really hot!!! So I'm in an incredible mood!!!
How about you, how has everything been???

Hi Anna, will speak to you tonight:) I'm at work at the moment:( Just left a message on Fab's profile, would you take a look and tell me if I'm thinking too much again!!

You know I got used to the surprised expression on everyone's face when they hear about my choice:)Everybody's convincing me to choose something easier...I'm looking forward to your blog!

First of all thanks for the link, I had heard that three-in-one version before...secondly did you have a good time? Third I want to enter Russian Armenian State University not Yerevan State University and as to my faculty it's Applied Mathematics and Informatics...what do you think?

Hi Anna, how did the National holidays go? Fun for all I hope. Share some of the details, if you will. Thanks for the link, is that a great song or what? :) Three languages in one, I’ve been listening to it all morning since I woke up, it’s just so cool!! I thought, as I was talking to Nelly, that I’d seen and heard the Latvian version but just couldn’t find it but as soon as you mentioned ‘Rudens’ all the lights came back on!! :D I like their vids as well, the Βетер vid reminds me of the Coldplay one for ‘Yellow’ where he’s walking along the beach.

I really feel like dancing too!!! All sorts of good things have been happening for me, tons of work, millions of projects, but above all, I've again found the time to share with you... I just love love love that!!!

So Fab, you wanted a happy thought...I'm very very very happy right now, without any particular reason, and I'm almost dancing...you see I like to dance at night:D usually in the bathroom in front of the mirror.:)

This morning I made a complete fool of myself, and nevertheless I haven't felt so happy in a long, long time. This is a very happy thought :)

P.S. Of course I still want the cow. A certain sort of cow :p Right now I feel so good, that I'd even eat strawberries with a wide smile on my face :)))))))

And what about a cow?
I'm eating apricots. And I want to have.......some more!!!!!! :))))))))))))))))))

I'm eating peanuts. And I want to have a dog!!!!!! :))))))))))))))))))

Yeah, I'm an awful person! lol

Shame on you Fabiana!:P

Our espresso maker broke down, which makes our chief accountant utterly unhappy cos she's a coffee addict. which makes me very happy cos I don't like her very much :p

Annie, I've come up with this idea. While you are away, I'll come to your house and feed your cat and water your plants. Meanwhile I'll also plant some happy thoughts in your magic garden. Hopefully they'll send lots of positive energy your way :)
Here's a first thought: I think I'll draw some monkeys on my bathtub curtain!

Just know that I've kept my promise. I ate an eclair today :)

Anna, enjoyed the blog. There’s something fascinating about that picture for me as well and it took a little while for me to work it out that facially he looks as if he could be here now, do you know what I mean? It’s only the clothes that date him, that doesn’t seem to come across in a lot of paintings and I can understand your wanting him as your elder brother.

Oh, Anna, Fab is right it was beautiful... to have real friends is more wonderful than anything else, but to have an imaginary one is quite a different thing...it's only yours, your own secret, I think it must be great...never experienced anything like that...though at times I become my own friend(sometimes it even happens that I become my own enemy too), I ask myself for advice, I confort myself...and I guess it's something similar...you have a beautiful soul...

Beautiful blog, Anny :)) It has inspired me to do some thinking (I lied to Paul. I actually do that every now and then :p). So here's what I've come up with:

- I envy you. I don't recall having had an imaginary friend when I was a kid. A pity, cos I see the two of you were having some great conversations!!! Is it too late, or can I have one right now???

- As we know, shit happens. As we know, mountains of pain exist in real life. As we know, many people get crushed under them. As we know, the ones that survive get rewarded by receiving supernatural powers. They can tell important things from less important ones. They can fully understand the meaning and necessity of joy. They can understand pain and help. And I can fly a broom!

- What does 'moving mountains in real life' mean? People tell me I'm a genius, and should lead a freakin empire, instead of settling for an average job and paycheck. They don't get it. don't understand that doesn't matter shit. don't see money, power, and social status are not the most important things in the world. They weren't there today when I returned home, and listened to viva la vida out loud, my windows were wide open, and all of a sudden an incredible number of different birds landed nearby and began a concert of their own. They don't know how beautiful it can be to notice things like that.

- After growing up, people are so busy moving unimportant mountains, that they stop having dreams and playing. That's why I think wonderlands and playgrounds should be compulsory. Especially for grown-ups!

I want to play the guitar....but I can't succeed in learning it... I have problem with making new friends as I'm rather shy and lack confidence...I'd like to express my thoughts better, but I rarely manage...:) I think that is enough...

Well Nelly, then tell us just a few of them :)

too many of them...

Let's hear it!!! :)

Thank you Anna! But anyway I'm not as genius as you think...well not in the fields I'd like to be...

will I need lots and lots of kleenexes?....

coo coo cachoo boohoo woohoo cock-a-doodle-doo
hope that helps... with your upcoming blog LOL
kisses :)

Your blog really touched my heart. Look, the next time I have an eclair, it will be in memory of your dad. As a matter of fact, that'll be tomorrow. I promise.

You know you are my hero. But what's that about me shattering your world?? How on Earth have i done that?? Was it when I wrote to you about the sausages I bought yesterday?...cuz I can't imagine anything else!

Anna, that was beautiful. What have I started!! And here was I starting to think that I'd made a bit of an A***e of myself (until you sent me that lovely message this morning). I assume that was your Dad with you on his back.....handsome cove. He looks like a very nice person.

Hey Anna,who can tell that Nelly doesn't have any exams for a while. Check Fabs site.

Girl, aren't you psychedelic enough yet? lol If you need some inspiration, check out the complex answer Mick left on Nelly's profile. If that doesn't make you high (but roll on the floor laughing first), nothin will!! looooooooool

Anna, we've got a topic! foget those lettuce leaves and let's do some thinking (without the drugs looooooool)

OFFICIAL NOTE FROM FABIANA'S MAGIC WORKSHOP:
Dearest Anna,
I hereby inform you the book club has been moved to my profile, and Nelly gets to choose the new topic. Can't wait to see what it is!!!!!

woohoo!!! I knew it :))))))))
lots & lots of kisses (cuz you deserve 'em!)

All day I've been smiling and grinning and then smiling some more at the thought of that wish list we talked about yesterday :))))))) I sure hope you, as the good fairy that you are, put in a good word for me with the Boss :)
kisses

Hi Anna, thanks for the invite, it will be an honour to be your friend. Your quite good yourself you know. A symphony of words...it has a lovely sound to it. By the way what's your favourite ABBA song(s)? The ones I have a great fondnest for are 'When I Kissed The Teacher' and 'Ring Ring' because they remind me of when I was a young soldier in Germany in the mid 70's. We played them all the time. Funny isn't it, technically speaking you were on the 'other side' then. Please don't let my sense of humour get me into trouble! Hey why don't you put some of your 'crazy photos on the blog now and then, Latvia looks really nice and it's the home of my latest 'best band' Prata Vetra. The more I listen to it the more 'Waterfall' gains total international status. Speak to again soon.

none of them Anna! I'm a professional cheater.LOL
Well I'm not in reality, but today I was cheating and everything is wonderful...I went to the party after all...And it was the last exam!!!!! I'm free till the 20th of July..still I have to go to my Maths and English classes...
Aunt Fabiana seems to be angry with me....:(((

you bet it is! And you must be an expert in conspiracies, since you know that dam History book by heart, and can afford to go partying right before the exam!!!!!
How has been your day, Anna? :) Mine was supercalifragilistic :)

Heeey...this is a conspiracy!!!!!!

Anna, help me out, will you?? Nelly is driving me crazy with her attitude!! Have you seen her latest whim? Well, I'm desperate. Would you try and talk some sense into her?...

oh, I'm looking forward to hearing the story!! And guess what? I'm not having a nasty Monday for a change! Hope you're enjoying your day as well :) Right now I feel nanananana (listening to Life is Life by Opus lol)

I hope everything went fine on your trip. It did, right? :)

FROM: Fabiana's Magic Workshop (when you open this magic OFFICIAL letter lol you'll hear The Yellow Submarine, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and Strawberry Fields Forever, in random order)

My dear Anna, I really loved both your stories XD. As you already know, real life miracles are my favorites :)

As for the name, I have no idea whatsoever...I guess The Eurovision Book Club would be too obvious...Any suggestions??

Yours truly,
/indecipherable signature/ lol

OFFICIAL INVITATION: Anna, my dear friend, I'm most happy to inform you that I formed a book club. Yeah. On Rodrigo's profile, I mean place :) Don't worry, he doesn't mind. Anyways, I'd be most honoured if you'd be the first one to leave a comment on the first topic which is SPIRITUALITY AND SUPERNATURAL THINGS. You can write about a book, character, scene or anything else you'd like :)

Hey there, I don't mean to brag, but hello from extremely hot and sunny Mexico... it's been the hottest (and longest) "summer" in a very long time... see, the thing is that in Mexico, actual summer is plagued with rain, so our hor season is spring... rain normally starts at the beginning of June, only this year it's comming a bit late, I guess, and it's just a living hell here. I can't say I complain much, since I love hot weather, but being trapped in the office when you see the sun shinning as I'm seeing it now it's just really painful!!!
Cheers!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...LOL

hello there!!! I hope you're done killing yourself with work for the day....Are you?

I wish every subject was as easy for me as Maths! Oh I bought a black cap... I think he'll like its style.I wish I could write poems, I'd write one for him...

If I give him alcohol, my mum will get angry with me, she says he drinks too much, besides I guess his friends will certainly provide such presents:) I'll go out and find smth for him today. Maths was great almost perfect...47 out of 50 correct.

Anna, help us out here!! What does a 19 year old boy want as a birthday present??

woohoo!!! that's for publishing it. i love that stuff! if i'll ever get married can i borrow the wedding vows? lol

hope you had a grand weekend :)

lol So I'm not the only one walking around with my head in the clouds and mistaking one century for the other :))))))

Look, this place might be virtual, but I'm your friend, period. There's nothing virtual about my friendship :)

Oh, yesterday I forgot to write the most important thing: Anna is my role-model. And, trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

She has the most amazing warm heart, is strong as a rock, has an incredible sense of humor, an infinite list of interests, a bright mind, a wonderful family, and an outrageous will to enjoy life in every way she can. I'd say she has been blessed by God :)

Yeah, me too...Don't take me too serious;)

To Rodrigo (when he comes back for some more complaining): 'I'll actually complain with Fabiana for calling me a heartless guy' ?????? Isn't that what whining is all about? lol

To Nel: What are you talkin about? I'm no role-model, girl!

To Anna: When I tell the truth, they say I'm not credible; When I go and do the right thing, they say I'm not respectable. That's why I've decided to stay incredible and outrageous. I have more fun this way :)

I wouldn't complain... actually, my brainy restless self will only try to prove you wrong!!! lol.
I'll actually complain with Fabiana for calling me a heartless guy!!!
Well, anyway, I'm in a bit of a hurry right now, but I'll get back for more complaining... and probably just to say hi too!!

example? can we say so in English? If only my English teacher saw this.)))))

Hey, Fabiana you're too lazy, what an example are you for me?LOL I'd better try to be like you, Anna!:))))

well, I could write a textbook on a thousand and one ways of doin nothing. Can you beat that?

hey, I LOVE having nothing to do!!! Will anyone pay me for doin' THAT??? Cuz I'd be really good at it

Well just slightly, I don't get too carried away with it...)))) If one has so much time that he can analize every moment of his life and everything that he does than nothing interesting is happening to him for sure, so I guess you have nothing to worry about, I guess your work doesn't let you get bored:))) I hate having nothing to do(well maybe only sometimes I may enjoy it;))

Thanks...And how are you? Doing anything interesting these days?

Everything is already over...It was difficult enough...But I'm sure I've passed, don't know my mark yet...

Hey Anna... I'm amazed that we both read each other's blogs every single time and have not as yet exchanged one single comment to each other.
So, hello, I really hope to keep in touch with you.

glad to hear it :)

oh, come on! 'dark, reading character', my ....!!!! sparkling reading PARTNER is much more accurate :)
Good night (I'm already sleepin lol)

loooooooool this is for the crawling part. it must mean you've been partying all day long!!! good for you!

Anna, I dedicate this post to you, since it was you that expressedly asked for a story. I'll email you more details tomorrow, cuz I'm done with the story-telling for the day; Right now I only feel able to comment :)
Anyway, I hope the weather didn't ruin your plans for today... I'm looking forward to hear how it went, but I'm not hasty or anything lol I can definitely wait :)
So, I thought of asking you if you'd like to become my partner in the bookstore/greengrocer business...The stripping part was just for teasing :)))))))))))

and I've already sent you smth in return :)

how was your day, anna? you don't tell me anything about yourself lately :(
hug (a big one as usual) :)

Yes, the girls at work are really something else. I mean it's extremely hard to cheer me up when I'm in such a shitty mood, but they managed brilliantly.

As far as my mood is concerned, all my worries vanished in the afternoon, so now I'm happy again :)

Waiting for your story or whatever else you'd like to share.
a big hug XD

How are you, girl? How was your weekend???? I miss your stories!!!!!

yeah, it is a dream come true lol I've always wanted to achieve fame, and now I've become a cybercharacter :)))))))))) Woohoo LOL

Yeah, it's a mastermind lab all right! I guess that when we do our worst, as a fellow bard has put it, it is for the best lol What can I say? Genius is in the air. Masterpiece upon masterpiece (still waiting for yours though, and I don't mean That story, cuz now that we've got you laughing, you'd better stay this way!)

Anna, talk to me!!!!!!!! lol Today is the other day, so I'm waiting for the rest of the story!!!!!!
a huge hug

yeah, that would really make my boss' day. the cow I mean lol

Anna, what about publishing the story? It is absolutely fantastic. It would be a perfect example of how different Internet communication can actually be. I love it and I'm waiting (impatiently) for the sequel. I mean it!

Oh, I've just listened to it. You should see the smile on my face right now XD Lovely indeed!!! You've really made my day, Anna :)

done right back! check your inbox :)

so now that you have my email address, please make sure to send me yours, 'cause I would never wanna lose contact with you, girlfriend!!! I haven't experienced such a perfect mental communication with that many people, so I would hate to stop talking to you until next spring. I can't wait that long!!!! Anyway, I'll stick around as long as possible, and I hope you'll do the same.
oh, and I envy you for that fishing trip!!!!

Anna, don't you feel exhausted today? I mean I have a kind of a hangover or something...and it's not the drinks lol

It was very nice to meat you. I hope to see you again next years. Take care.

I've just got back home. quite happy for alexander right now :) I knew the boy could pull it off!!!!!!!! so what about a trip to oslo this time next year???

Oh, I remember my reply. I said that I know that Lativia has a rich musical history. I am just sorry that I do not think they will win this year.

Oh, enjoy the play then, and make sure to be home before the show begins! I guess it's redundant to say I love Woody Allen's works and Woody Allen himself :D Tonight I'll be heading over Carmen's house. She lives like five minutes from my place and cooks like a French chef, have I ever mentioned that? LOL All I have to do is bring some popcorn XD

Sorry, I was trying to delete my reply because of a simple spelling error that I wanted to correct and ended deleted you post as well :(

anna, this is the big day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you ready? Any delicious treats for tonight? :)

heheh thats great :) Unfortuntely Latvia didnt qualify,but I hope that this year Latvia will give to Greece some points hehe! Please vote us!!

well, it's a matter of personal taste. I mean their song is not exactly in my favorite category, and that's a category I prefer not to talk about unless I see smth utterly unusual or spectacular. And last night I didn't notice anything extraordinary about their performance.The song is certainly catchy, and by comparison to many others, it's like a breath of fresh air, but I'd say it's rather average if you check out the details. However, I'm sure it will get a very good ranking in the final.
P.S. What I noticed about Sakis was the Superman-taking-off move in his dance routine :))))))

strictly about their performance last night: poor male, very average female vocals; often off key; average dance routine. All in all, Aysel's pretty and I loved her bracelets. now it's your turn

sorry for Latvia, but I guess we kinda expected it...But, hey, Estonia, Azerbaijan and Norway are in!!!!!

thanks, cooking fairy :) So, will you please send me a slice of that delicious desert you're preparing? Cause all I have here is some pineapple chocolate...Btw, is chocolate one of the 12 ingredients? 'Cause I loooooove chocolate XD

I know you are skeptical about it, but GOOD LUCK LATVIA anyway :D And good luck to all your other faves as well

Your welcome :) Im looking forward to Sakis too :D Please vote GREECE today :D :D :D :D

xx

yes, you are! a genius that is :)

anna, where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu? hope everything's all right

on second thought, I am the one who should congratulate you, genius: all your three faves (Sweden, Israel and Portugal, if I'm correct) from the SF1 passed into the final :)

thank you!!!!!!!!! I'm actually happy that the Balkan Girls passed this one!!!!!!! and for the rest of 'em too :) I'll keep The Highest Heights in my heart though!! I'm loyal!!!!!

thanks! I was getting afraid we wouldn't qualify when only 2 countries were left! I guess most of the results could be expected! I'm so happy Portugal and B&H made it through!

Oh, dear Anna, you surprise me every time. I mean I'm speechless when I see the similarity of thought between the two of us :) that song was one of the first ones that came to mind, only that I didn't want the post to go THAT deep...
but, hey, let's cheer up 'cause there's a big night ahead of us! as for waltzes, my favorite kind are the ones performed in the open air, wearing casual clothes :)

yeah, I know...but I really have to finish this stuff for work :( maybe I'll catch up on sleep tomorrow during the semi-final LOL Now that would be ludicrous. I'd shoot myself right after waking up :)))
good night, Anna :)

So...Do you feel the buzz?...I KNOW YOU DO!!!!
Yeehaa!
A Balkan Cowgirl :)))))))))))))

Are you ready for EUROVISION WEEK? :D

Non devi tremare, mia cara. Sei tra amici. And everything is going to be just fine. And beautiful.
Goodnight,
A Cowgirl :)))

Right now the lyrics of that Coldplay song are changing in my mind. They go 'Oh, Sister, I CAN, I CAN get through'. And it just makes me happy, happy, happy!!!!!
Have a spectacular Sunday yourself, beautiful

here's what actually happens. Almost every day I get inspired by people, music, books and all kinds of everyday stuff. So I usually get an idea seemingly out of the blue and begin playing with it in my mind. When a concept takes form, I set to writing and all the words and ideas fall into place. After I'm done, I read what I wrote, and, if I like it, I publish it. However, I never think that someone else will actually read, let alone like it. Therefore, when I receive such positive feedbacks from wonderful bright persons like you, it simply brings joy to my heart. That's why my LOVE and RESPECT go to you, my friend.
P.S. Peppermint tea is ok. No strawberries though, no strawberries :)))

anna, do you drink coffee? If you were here, I think I would call you later today and take you out for some coffee. Or tea. Or drinks. Or whatever your heart desires :))
cheers, beautiful

Thanks, Anna!:)

Ah thanks for reading my blog!)))
Well anyhow I don't worry about it too much, it's good to have my own opinion. but it starts to seem strange that it almost never coincides with that of the majority)) You know I might visit Latvia this summer)) I'm not sure yet, but I'll really be happy if I have the oportunity!

you have a unique style, anna..while reading your blog, I imagined myself back at my folks' place, sitting at the table with all our relatives and family friends, with everybody talking and the kids running around like crazy. you made me feel awfully melancholic, but I actually loved it. there is a special warmness to your writing that is very specific to you as a person. and that's a beautiful person, Nakupenda

Well?....

I'm so glad to hear that it turned out so well. But then, what else could have been expected :)
as for those clicks, stop it, Anna, stop it! We can fight addiction :))
and you saved the best for last. I'm soooooo looking forward to seeing who your mysterious favorites are :)

hey, anna, I remembered that photo job you wrote me about some days ago. So, how did it go?
hugs

hehe, thet's just what I'm talking about))))))
You too have a good weekend...

Armenia... well difficult to say... Probably now is the best time to visit it. Yeah you're right but Latvia seems somehow special, people there seem to be different...Maybe kinder or smth like that. Don't know why I have such an impressian, don't know any latvians besides you:)))

another beautiful picture, anna! I love the sky details.
have a great weekend :)

Hey! How r u? I'm just sitting listening to Brainstorm now)) I want to visit Latvia some day, it seems to be a beautiful country...

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really had fun writing that one :))
have a super califragilistic day!!!

oh, anna, I'm so happy for you :) these days I'm so busy at work that I can only fantasize about a nice photo shooting trip. pls keep me updated

thank you so much for your appreciation. it really means a lot coming from you
the carmen situation has been completely overcome, so paradise was regained :)) and indeed, I thank God for my incredible family and all my good friends, old and new
so, what's new in your life?

Hey, girlfriend, I'm still waiting for that new blog of yours....!!! A sunny morning smile from Romania :)

Hi Anna
I welcome you as a friend and look forward to chatting to you.
I have just returned from Australia after visiting my son and his family, who all live in the Sunshine State of Queensland on the Gold Coast.
I have only had one chance so far to watch the Preview Videos of each of this year's songs. My favourite at the moment is Ireland, but that might change when I listen to the songs over and over again.
I am not sure about your country's entry yet. I will have to listen to it again before I decide.
I will let you know what my top 10 favourites are a little later. At the moment I have 17 that I like and 3 that I am not sure about.
What are your favourites so far ???
Hope to hear from you soon.
Love Mick

Hi Anna!!! Thank you for explain me this, you are a very kind person... thank you again... kisses and hugs from Honduras... :D

Hello! How are you? What is mean three stars?

no, no, no!!!! I want you to write too and as soon as possible. Intelligent, sensitive and funny writing is most needed, trust me, and you are the best for that job. I'll be waiting :))

impressive monument, and I simply love the colors of your picture! I also take out my camera as soon as I see some 'bird movement' :) and most of the times I miss the most important moment by a second! (happened this morning, so the frustration is still fresh so to say) these hasty birds, they should learn some manners and freakin stay still when you try to immortalize them!!!
looking forward to more beautiful photos from Riga :)

great pic, anna! some details, plss?...

I was almost sure you already had that site in your browser! it's a must-have for a photography freak :)) as for crawling in the craziest places and the passing people's reactions, I could tell you on and on and on :) I guess you're not too worried either about tearing up those jeans, huh?

thanks for adding me, anna
it seems we share the same crazy interest for photography. have you checked out deviantart.com? quite a nice medley of amateur and pro photographers and ilustrators
well, hope to hear from you soon. kisses from Romania :)

jajaja Great history!!! Nakupenda don't make reply because nobody read this, reply not found in this website, you have write in the commentary booth of each one of your friends, sorry because my english is very bad.
Thank you for explain your nickname, I hope talk with you soon by msn or facebook, or skype, greetings from Honduras.

I havent heard all the songs of Eurovision 2009, and i havent decided my favourite one i am going to vote for jet, anyway, i will make my final decision in Live broadcastings from the venue in Moscow.Swedish song is good and interesting very serious like Molitva, aolso maltese song performed by chiara is nice, i truely recomend you to listen to shes entry in Kyiv that was great.By the way i realise that both of us we speak native Latvian but i dont know why we communicate in english i think its so coool,isn`t it?as to Intras Bussulis his song isnt the best one what could get the ticket to moscow and represent Latvia ,anyway, i will cross my fingers on the 14th of May hoping Latvia will qualify to final.Natalia`s Dynamite was my favourite of our National selection.Have a nice upcoming celebration`s!Māris
