The past weeks in pictures.

Hi guys,
I have not blogged in what seems a while now, and to update you on what went on, I decided to make a quick “Instagram” post of what I did in the past weeks. I thought it would be more fun than reading a long description. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Shawnee had its first street art show, and there were free tattoos offered.

I got myself a yellow peace fake tattoo.

Then, on May 5th, as you may know from reading my last post,

I went to a bike race and it was fun :)

Decided to rock my leopard dress and my new crossbody bag!

Went out for a brunch on Sunday with Babs, Larry and Vivi :)

Had a burrito, with a strawberry salad and a dessert.

Vivi and I at brunch. It is always great to see her!

In Dallas, I had dinner with Kevin at La Madeleine while Maria was shopping.

Those were our order numbers. I had a cream of mushrooms soup and he had a sandwich.

Got myself a new pair of flats (Material Girl) for Maria & Kevin’s wedding.

One afternoon it was raining in Dallas, so we got Mishka in his rain jacket.

Doesn’t he look sharp? :)

On sunday, Maria, Kevin, Maree Lou and I went to eat lunch in Terrell, Texas.

Let me introduce you to Koffee Kake, a lovely restaurant that serves great food and desserts.

I had there a Mandarin Spinach Salad that was just delicious…

…and a english toffee chocolate cupcake.

Maria & I decided to leave a trace behind ;)

Sunday night, Maria, Faviola and I went out for drinks, to celebrate Maria’s last night as an unmarried woman. We had fun drinking, remembering our past, and talking about our present. It was so much fun!

And then we ended at the sex shop, where Favi got handcuffs for Maria (LOL)

Maria’s wedding bouquet. The wedding was small and simple. The bride was beautiful.

I can’t believe my sister from another mother is no longer “single”.

Kevin & I disinfected the kittens from flees, at the Lodge. By the way, they are free for anyone who wants them! The kittens are in Terrell, Texas but can be brought to you if you live in Texas. Pass the word to your friends and family!

Yesterday, Maria, Kevin, Blaine and I went out for dinner at Sushi Sake. This is such an amazing Japanese restaurant! I had a sashimi box that was just delicious!

To wrap up the day, I put on a Tonic mask and afterwards it felt great!

How was your week? Did you do anything exciting?

It’s time for the “US” show

Maria and I are very different, both in looks and personality. But even given our differences, we are very close friends. I guess as Haruki Murakami put it in his epic novel 1Q84:

“We recognized each other’s abilities and trusted each other. I can say without exaggeration that ours was a once-in-a-lifetime friendship“

Maria is my better half, my confident, the sister I never had. And I am glad to have moved to the US, otherwise we would probably have never met. It’s been now about five years since we became friends and we never separated for too long, even when I moved to Oklahoma City. She is the only person who always calls me round the clock and doesn’t care to wake me up at 8 am because she just wants to talk to me. I can never stay mad at her for more than five minutes, and that says a lot. If you happen to read this, Maria, I just want to let you know how greatful I am to have you in my life.

As for the photos above, they were taken out of the blue. We were getting ready for bed and i pulled out my camera. Maria then said “let’s do something fun” and we just ended up goofing in front of the mirror. It was great and reminded me of our weekends before she was with Kevin and I would visit her at UTA. I am glad that we can still carry on with ourselves as we did before, as if things have not changed. Although, they really haven’t. Time just went by but we remained true to ourselves and our beautiful growing friendship. I think everyone should have a solid and beautiful friendship with someone, like we do.

Today, as Maria was driving me to the train station, she played a music for me. It was in Russian and almost made me cry.  It said something like this “Don’t forget me my friend, for I will be back soon enough, and I will never forget you”. I sure will be back soon enough and I will not forget about my Masha :) Friends and moments like that make you really feel good about yourself and love life!

This said, I hope everyone had a great tuesday!

Thursday night out.

Our weekend technically started on Thursday night, as we ventured ourselves to Fadi’s (an amazing Greek-Mediterranean restaurant based in Dallas,Texas).  We – Kevin, Maria and I – met with two of our other girl friends: Nikita and Faviola. It was literally an international table, with people from all over the world. It was my first time at Fadi’s and I wish my camera’s settings hadn’t been messed up, otherwise I would have taken more pictures from the restaurant. But if you visit their website, you can have an idea of how it looks inside ;)

This is what I had for dinner! Add to this some homemade wheat peta bread and some lamb meat. All of it was delicious! I was very happy that I got introduced to this restaurant, and I really plan on going back. The service is also great, the servers are all – for the most part- foreigners, and they are really nice. I chit-chatted with one of them and found out he was from Egypt, which was pretty cool!

I had fun tweaking this photo. By the way, they got ENGAGED! Kevin was very sweet, and proposed to her while they were away to the Bahamas for a couple of days. Romantic, isn’t it? I was very happy and still am happy that they decided to get more serious :)

So this was it for our Thursday night out.

Make the best out of your life.

I would determine my future. I told myself, You are destined for something special. But no one can do it for you, and no one can save you. You have to save yourself.

We all know that life is about the journey, but having a destination in mind gives a sense of order, structure and, crucially, calm. Plenty of people have a mission statement, even if they don’t call it that.

So think about what you want. It doesn’t matter how you come to it. Tell everyone or write on a piece of paper and bury it in the ground. Just live your mission in your own way, and try to see everything you do as a part of it.
