I always tend to forget to update this journal-thingy... So yeah, what I've been up to.
I finished watching the American Horror Story: Coven season. It was really good, although the quite happy ending was not my cup of tea. The first season is still my favourite. Now I'm anxiously waiting for the Game of Thrones season 4 and Vikings season 2. Meanwhile I'm keeping myself busy with Angel (oh, nostalgia...) and The Borgias.

In December I decided that I want to get back in a good shape. I'm very skinny, but it sucks when you don't have any muscles and when a few stairways leave you completely breathless. So I started to do workouts! It's weird, I know, because I used to hate exercising.
Anyway, I won a free trial in the heavy aerobics class and I kind of fell in love with it... It's basically a lot of jumping around, kicking and bouncing, a bit dance-y moves, crazy
muscle workouts etc while you listen to rock and metal music. So it's kind of perfect for me. It's really motivating to train your abs while Rob Zombie is yelling: "Hey, I'm screaming! Scum of the earth! Come on!" You just can't give up.
Today began my second workout month and I feel great. I'm also trying to change my eating habits and switching to better food: more fruits, vegetables and water, less food & drinks with too much sugar, salt and weird ingredients etc. One moment I just got sick of all the crap that I was eating. But I'm not some Born-Again-Health-Nut, I swear. I still love being a couch potato and occasionally I pamper myself with hamburgers, take-away Chinese food, chocolate, wine and crisps.

I'm also going back to being a Occasional Party Smoker. One day I realized that I hadn't smoked for 11 days. I just suddenly stopped and had no cravings for a cigarette break or any withdrawal symptoms. It's quite strange, I just felt like not smoking. I think I was cigarette-free for like... Maybe 20 days. Yesterday I took some drags from BF's cigarette, just because I was drinking a good cup of Creamy Strawberry Latte (Estonians, seriously, that is so good!) from Coffee In and I felt like having cigarette.

What else... Oh yeah, Pharrell Williams' voice rocks and the song "Happy" is my absolute favourite right now. I haven't seen the Despicable Me films, but this song just makes me... Happy! I always listen to it, when I go outside and that is why people see me dancing in the tram... You just can't be grumpy when you listen to it. I hope that this song wins the Oscar for the Best Original Song.

I finally read "The Time Traveller's Wife". and was quite disappointed. I had very high hopes for it and I expected a completely different story. At first I liked it, but in the end all I got was a creepy and naked old guy stalking a young girl and claiming that they're married in the future, so she'd better become acquainted with him. Creepy, much? Nothing else really happened, nothing about the feelings of the one who gets left behind because of the time travelling. Just a woman who waits and waits, because her hubby won't let her go even after his death. Now I don't even want to watch the film, that I was putting on hold, so I could finish the book first.

I haven't taken any Important Photos lately. The weather is kind of icky and I'm concentrating more on my family, my health and home. I'm also watching a lot of series, films and read books. I don't feel like I have to constantly shoot out photos and any kind of art, so I'm not really worried. I'm testing my Russian lenses with a simple 30 Days in a Blog challenge that I started a long time ago and abandoned because I didn't feel motivated to carry on. Now I picked it up and try to finish it.
The point of this challenge is that you have to post pictures according to the theme or a question. For example, a habit you wish you didn't have, a picture of something you want to do, before you die and so on. I want to use as many photos as I can that are taken by me (or at least of me) and also taken specifically for this challenge. It motivates me to find a subject and take a photo at least once a week. I've also picked up blogging again in my secret blog and it's really nice to write again. (:

So yeah... I hope life is treating you good and the weather is not completely ugh! Spring is coming! Take care!
