01/11 Ukraine: Week Three


Aaand HERE WE ARE! WEEK THREE! Why on Wednesday? Meh, no idea. Blog writer's block!


Me and my aunt went on a walk, and stumbled upon this biiiig Christmas tree!

And here is the bottom


There were many Christmas decorations all over the place, incluuuding

Oh, just my uncles office, you know, no big deal at all.

(angelic voices "Aaaaaaaaah!!!")

And my aunt was like murr!


Here are a few pics of a Ukrainian market. Its usually absolutely packed during the summer days, buuuut during the winter time nobody wants to freeze to death, and there are obviously less foods to sell.


But this place is still huge!

And has this big (looks much smaller on the pic than it really is) covered part too!

Not much has been happening these past few days. I've been sitting at home till about 4 or 5 pm and playing Chrono Trigger (on that in a sec) and then chilling with some amigos! We usually go walk around town, or chill in a cafe, or eat some pizza, or just do whatever we feel like! Going to a club soon, and for my birthday, I'm thinking of doing something cool as well! Even though I have no idea what yet... But it will be GLOOOORIOUUUS!!!

Almost as glorious as Chrono Trigger was! (whoo transition exp. GET! Transition lvl UP!) I just beat the game last night, and hooooly crap. It's Currently my favorite RPG of all time! The beautifully drawn world and character sprites. The fantastically composed music pieces, ALL of which I found good, and many quite catchy. The amazing story, filled with engaging characters, crazy plot twists, and it's 13 different endings. All of these things come together SO seamlessly, I was honestly blown away. This 16 bit experience literally had me tear up at times, made my heart beat faster, made me smile, made me laugh, and made me realize how far good storytelling, with a little bit of humor sprinkled in, can get, no matter the genre, or the medium, or the technological limitations. Simply a masterpiece. Now, if you haven't played it yet, GO GO GO!!! LIEK NAOOOO!!! Or I shall USE THE GLORIOUS POWER OF LAVOS AND MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE NEVER BOOOORNNN!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Yuss! The first of the 13ths of the year, FRIDAY! THE END OF THE WORLD, GUYS! IS COMIN'!


First snow! I go into my friend's house for 5 minutes, and come out to find the recently dry ground, all covered in GLOOOOORIOUS snow. I like snow. The way it looks  close up, with each snowflake crafted into a perfectly symmetrical masterpiece, and when you observe from afar, with the snow covering tree branches, roofs, and everything around, and brightening up the world. I also love the way snow sounds when you step on it! And snowball fights, and making snow peoples, and eeeeverythaaang!


My friend is like "pshhhh you are like a little kid taking pictures of everything all the tiOMG SNOW! TAKE A PIC OF ME!!!"


My friend's front yard! Covered in SNOOOOOOOWWW!!!!!

ART SNOWWW!!! (Since depth of field obviously = insta art)


Eatin' some delicious Ukrainian FOODZ and looking at the falling SNOOOOOOWWW outside =3


DISCO! DISCO! GOOD! GOOD!

REEEAAADYYYY? FIGHT! (THE DRUNKEN STYLE!)


This is pretty hilarious to me. Its a statue of Lenin. At a place called Freedom Square. Freedom from whom you may ask? Oh maybe the communists or something? OHHH THE IRONY (and the snuuu mostly melteded D=)

Here he is from close up


Me and my cousin went to walk around town, and stopped by the SPAAAARTAAAA well.
Its supa cool!

And supa deeeep!


A random tower that is standing there, looking all coool during the magic hour!


And some trees, doing pretty much the same thing as the tower! They need to be more hipster! Be the change, trees!


And then me my aunt and my grandma, went to see a Ukrainian version of Mamma Mia, all written and acted out by our own peoples from my town!

After listening to the orchestra playing in the lobby,

And hanging up our coats in a special wardrobe room,

We walked into the quickly filling theatre.

It only took a few minutes for the whole place to fill up, after which, with great anticipation, we all waited for the show to start!

And it was awesometastic!

All played their roles, and sung the songs very well!

The performances, which were full of genuine feelings and emotions, left a mark on me, and had me smiling and full of energy by the end of the show!


From one fantastic RPG to the next!

Shadow collection #36 (September 30th)

Many funs were had at the Puyallup Fair! Hello my dear friend! We meet again! But at the same time you've never left my pocket in the first place, phone. I just haven't written things using your writing things apps. It's been an unproductively productive ten months since we've talked last, and for that I apologise. Stuff got in the way. It tends to do that. Well, onwards and outwards we go in the exploration of the shadows! Today we are returning to the shadow roots. No more insane photograph dumps this time. Those got old fast. Those burnt me out and got me out of the habit of blogging real words and coherent thoughts. It was during the times when I was absolutely undecided and immature, heading in all the wrong directions and doing all the wrong things, and suspecting nothing of it. Those were the days, when we were yound and so very stupid, says a young and still a stupid and such an unexperienced person. We'll see how things go on. I hope all is well, m...

Shadow collection #35 (December 20th)

Why view the blog in silence? Click the play button, and read on! A new week! Here we gooo! Getting up in 6 hours and doesn't afraid of anything! Amusing fact: I wrote the last entry of the previous blog and the first of this about 30 seconds apart from each other. YaaaayyyzyzyzZzZzZzzzzz... chaos is just somehow saying the very familiar fact that everything's complicated. 13 hour work days are MY FAV. YUP. And now off to bed. I hope I dream of awesomeness. Awesomeness I can remember. I should be asleep right now. Work at 7. But I can't help and ponder. It was probably nothing, but I am substantially BUGGED. A lot. What if it wasn't nothing? I should just let it go. Just for tonight. At least I'm good at that. Unlike being... Whatever it is I should be. Maybe that time has come, and its finally my turn. I hope it's not. The month of reunions! Two people I haven't seen in ages already, and MAANY more to come...
