Long time no see - Part 3

June & July

My dear!

It has been a week but I still remember my promise to write to you! I decided to combine the info about June and also about the first days of July in this post, because there are some updates. 

I'm starting with a summary of my June's activities. A lot of things happened in my otherwise boring life. (I must not speak in that way though...)

Little Dessy's visit

My aunt and little cousin came to stay with us in Rousse! It was at the height of the theatre season - our premiere was coming soon and we also had the chance to watch Deska's elder sister participating in a juvenile musical show! It was awesome! Sisi had the role of a judge in something like a TV talent show (including the funny advertisements). This is her first role and I think she is really happy to be  in a group of young and talented people.

I couldn't see the little one every day due to the many rehearsals but thankfully my aunt decided to stay for more than a week so I had my chance to play with her.

Theatre '15

I am not going to repeat the things I wrote from the last post. Simply said, even though this year wasn't the best for our group, I think we had our good moments and we did a great job.

We also went to Vratsa and took part in the International Youth Theatre Festival Vreme. It's held every two years, so I have been to 3 of its editions - in 2011, 2013 and 2015. The audience there is always responsive and energetic. It's a one of a kind theatre experience.

 

Some things never change

On the way back to Ruse we decided to go on a little road trip. We visited Saeva dupka cave, the Pleven Panorama and the "Blue Ostriches" Farm, located near the cave.

Hi!

So maybe these are the most important things that happened. After Vratsa there was this period of three weeks in which we usually had one or two performances per week or we had none. The feeling is really strange - we usually have almost all the planned performances for about three weeks and that's it. Now we had to comply with the schedule of Kaneff Centre which makes it a little harder to be in the best shape every time. After all, we are an amateur theatre group and this is not our full-time job. But it was fun, especially during the last performance in July because a lot of us had forgotten some of the words and we had to improvise. We made a lot of photos backstage during the play and I am pretty sure the audience could see the flash from the camera, haha!

No comment

Although I already began writing about events from July I will post a photo of Evgeny's visit to Ruse at the end of June. Actually you can see my freshly coloured hair by using a shampoo. Not so red but definitely an interesting colour.

See? Argh, I think my sunglasses look more reddish than my hair...

July

This publication turned out to be very... picturesque. Actually, there are more photos prepared and the situation is already getting heavy. Not to mention my inability of positioning the photos at the right place, ugh. Anyway, I will try to be simple as possible. 

I still can't fully realize that we had our last performance six days ago. My colleague from work gave me flowers which I redecorated, because the cellophane ornaments were stealing the beauty of the flowers. Maybe it is not so important but considering the boredom at work sometimes, making some artsy things always bring fresh feeling into my soul.

If you know the name of this beautiful flower, please tell it to me!

 
And with that I am ending my publication here, because it is too long and heavy now. In my next post I will write my music and fashion inspirations for the summer months. I hope that all these things won't bore you.

Thank you for your patience!!!

Take care, my dear and good night from me!

Love,

R.

Long time no see - Part 2

May 2015

First days

As promised, I'm starting with some details from the last months. The beginning of May was marked with a week-long holiday. As you know, we had some free days because of 1 and 6 May but our CEO decided to combine the days into a week.

It was nice because I had the chance to see my Erasmus colleague from Greece. She came just for a couple of hours with her boyfriend. They were coming back from Romania and decided to pass through Ruse to see me. The other days were filled with rehearsals and home cleaning. Boring enough, haha.

Varna - 9-11.05

The next week we (granny and I) went to Varna for my little cousin's third birthday! I had so much fun! I posted some photos of her wearing my shoes if you remember. Cutie!

Who took my new sunglasses?

Hey, those shoes are mine! Hahaha!

Birthday girl! 10.05.2015

Someone's having fun

"Mom, look at my cake! Can I blow out the candles now?"

Yummy!

Try the ice cream! It's delicious!

Only the garden background is missing

After we came back it was time to go back to reality. And to go back to work. On May 11 I was invited to read some excerpts from famous books because it was the European Literature Night. I was really afraid actually! Long time no scene! The stage fright was severe but I managed to overcome it and it went really well. Of course I almost lost my voice at the end of the evening but it was worth it! And I had to come out from the winter lethargy! I had to rehearse for the June performance.

 

Speaking of rehearsals... It was that time of the year - when we usually are busy preparing for our newest performance. "Much Ado About Nothing" is this year's play we are presenting. My part is Margaret (Margarita). I like it, it is a good ending part for my six-year theatre journey. After so many roles I feel it is finally time to end my career. That was dramatic, hahaha! Anyway, actually the middle of May wasn't so busy as it usually is, but the end of the month was marked with a lot of hard work. Oh, and I finally had the chance to watch myself from a closer point of view (Mom, I was on TV!) to finally realize that my face doesn't really fit in the standards of theatre and television. Not to mention the quality of playing... An actor is a person that has to have full control of his body movements. Anyway... Long story. Another time. ;)

Well, that was everything for the month of May. I may have forgotten to mention some things but they are not so important.

I really miss you. When you came back in April I thought that we will see each other again during the summer. But the reality is different.

Anyway... Tomorrow is our last performance. I hope it will be good. And next week the weather is expected to be much hotter. Summer at its best! Watermelons, bro! Haha! Looking forward to the heat. At least we have to feel that it's summer here.

I'm starting my third post about June. It will be posted these days and it will be a bit longer.

Good night from me!

Love,

R.

Long time no see - Part 1

Hello, my dear! It has been a while...

We haven't posted as much as we should after our wonderful (but short) week back in April. Our baby blog has some growth issues, haha! I think we have to come with a sort of posting schedule, because, let's face it - our update timeline is a mess. :)

Anywayyy... I am going to write a really long post but it will be divided in three parts (according to the initial plan). So many things have happened after you left and I am pretty sure that even you have a lot to talk about but don't have the time to write here. So thank you for sharing those interesting things in your latest post! 

It's July and it's officially summer! Actually, the weather here is awful these days - it's raining almost every evening and the nights are extremely cold. Not that I am complaining, but I hate humid weather. Where are my hot days and fresh watermelons?! Ugh...

I will start with a brief summary of what you wrote last time in order to review everything. It's a good idea to use small sections (rubriques) - easier for us to organize our thoughts. ;)

You look amazing in that photo from you birthday party!!! Is that the dress you showed me when I was staying at your place last summer? A beautiful young lady! (And all those little toasts you made with your mom, awww, I am already hungry!)

Thank you for your compliment about my rice cooker! Actually I still use it, but not to cook rice in it - most of the time I make quinoa or steam veggies and I am planning to prepare some buckwheat tomorrow. I love rice, but even the smallest required quantity is a lot for me to eat. My granny said that it's too dry for her to eat and I don't have any device to warm it at work, so, yeah, it's a bit cold and dry for me, too. While we are on the theme, I want to tell you that I started eating more healthy! Of course I have my cravings sometimes (CHIPS AND ICE CREAM, PLEASE!), but I try to maintain a balanced food regimen. And I try not to surrender to my cravings during the weekend, because it's the most dangerous time. It's really hard to motivate myself to start running though...

I see that you have some difficulties with finding a job. Don't worry! It's hard sometimes but while searching you will understand your preferences and what you exactly want from your future position. Even if it's a summer job or a full-time job, you have to strive for a workplace where you are happy and satisfied. The balance between a creative and stable job position is important. If it's not interesting enough, it will be boring and you will feel apathetic. And if you feel that you are not developing, then the CDI is not the answer. At some point granted work stability makes you feel mediocre and a young and clever person like you doesn't need this. Sadly, sometimes only the boring types of jobs (or the administrative ones) can grant you longer occupied position. Of course, this is my point of view. The most important thing is being happy with the work you do, so keep searching and don't give up! :)

I'm really sorry for the delayed photos of the shoes! Shame on me! So, here are some photos of the slip-on sneakers with the golden chains I bought from AliExpress. (Sorry for the awful quality.) I am also putting two photos of my little cousin wearing them when we went to Varna in May and one when they came in Ruse in June, but I will write about this later.

 

I saw some photos of your sandals and the pink top on Instagram! I love them! You are absolutely gorgeous! 90's vibes!

You have chosen very calming songs. Armin's song is already on my playlist! Summer tunes indeed!

I don't think that we will be able to eat that much food or even to visit our favourite Chinese restaurant after what we did last time! It was traumatic binge eating, hahaha! Maybe we should cook it ourselves like we did last summer. And not eat that much. :D

So, that was part one. Not summarized in the best way, but still it's something after a long time! In parts two and three I am going to write about the last couple of months (May and June). Not much to say, but there will be more photos and, hopefully, less text.

Take care and wait for my next posts!

Love,

R.
