Haven't been here in a while.. thought I should update. :-)

So it's August 4th, which means that a half of the vacation had passed. I'm kinda disappointed because I haven't done a lot of things that really made me happy. I know that it's my fault somehow, but it's just that I couldn't do several things by myself.. it's not fun and makes me feel bad.
I hate this feeling, it's like I keep walking but i'm still standing. i know that somehow it's also a selfish feeling

But despite all that, some good things happened too..
I got my second appointment for the intelligence corps (august 10th), I've started learning for my Theory driving test, 90210♥, I'm going to work at 'Rimonim' בעז"ה, there's a shabbat chattan and a birthday party.. i'm ecstatic of course, yet this feeling of me not implementing enough this free time keeps showing up.


The flight is really close (in less than 3 weeks), I am so excited.

What happened in Tel Aviv last saturday is unforgiveable. it's horrible, the fact that those people were murdered just because they had other perspective.
My prayers go out for all of the victimes and their families.

RIP MJ.

I know I stopped being a fan of him a long time ago.. but still, he had an ifluence on me, and he definitely was one of the greatest musicians ever.

11th grade is officially over. time goes by so fast and i'm not sure if I actually understand what it means. I mean, I have only one year left before I'll go to do military service, one of my favorite teachers is no longer going to teach us, a friend of mine is leaving school etc. etc..
It's kind of exciting but at the same time frightening.

I think that my grades this year weren't my best, but still i'm proud of what I achieved.
My last bagrut (out of 9) is in Math, my biggest issue, on July 14th.
I really hope that my abilities will be expressed in the exam, because it's really important to me, and I don't think that I could handle a failure.

You can say that the vacation is right in front of me, which means that I can start having fun. :) I have a job interview in Sbarro on Sunday. (so excited!). I'll do my best to make this vacation memorable. ♥♥

With each delegation meeting I just can't wait to get to Poland. It just seems closer than ever!


me and my guuuurrll, Esther. <33


that's all for now.. live, laugh and watch Smallville. ;)♥

There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule coz there’s nothing between you
and your dreams

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

- American Idol is over. I was a part of team Lambert of course. It's kind of disappointing that Adam didn't win, but Kris is definitely a good singer and he deserves to get this title. :)
Every week I enjoyed the performances and hoped that my 3 favorite contestants will be safe. Those were Adam, Kris and Allison. <3
Can't wait to hear their new songs and projects, because they're so talented and each one brings something unique, which I like. :)


- We've started talking about the journey to Poland. I think I might need a little time before I'll be able to express my feelings and thoughts.
The flight's date is August 26th. 25th
I'm afraid of what I'm about to see, hear, feel.. and as a girl who's family isn't related to the Holocaust personally, i'm worried that I won't feel connected enough. but I believe that with the help of my music♥, photography, writing, my friends and teacher, I'll feel better..


Meanwhile there's Shavu'ot (Jewish holiday) next week, I have 6 more bagruyot left, I'm looking for a job, and then 2 months of freedom. omg i can't believe i'm about to finish 11th grade.

Well today is Memorial day for Israel's fallen. During the year I don't pay that much attention to it, don't know why.. I guess it's because in Israel we are "used" to have wars and lose soldiers..
but today, I realized how serious this is.
There are more than 22,000 fallen, it's shocking. Soldiers who were only 18, 19, 20 years old when they died.. they were so young, so innocent.
I realized that it can happen to any of us, on the most unexpected time..
Until these days I didn't feel that connected to this day, but it's different now. I am so close to recruit to IDF (צה"ל).
I've seen those films and TV programs about families who have lost their beloveds and it just made me cry. Those brave young men die so I could live in this country. This day gives me the opportunity to tell them: Thank you for saving me. May God avenge you.




Tonight we'll be celebrating Israel's 61st birthday. :-)
My friends and I will probably go to see concerts.. hopefully it will be fine and I'll enjoy it.

Oh.. and I wanted to share this fun thing I found.
List of ten things that only Israeli people can do :) [it's in Hebrew]

.1
יקרא לחבר הכי טוב שלו בן זונה, אבל למישהו שהוא לא מכיר אחי.
.2
יסע לחו"ל ויחפש דוכן פלאפל.
.3
יראה בפעם האלף ביום העצמאות את אסקימו לימון וצ'ארלי וחצי.
ידקלם בעל פה קטעים מסרטי בורקס +
.4
יקנה טובלרון בדיוטי פרי רק כדי להרגיש שהוא היה בחו"ל, למרות שהוא יכול לקנות כזה בסופר.
.5
ידבר באמצע אוטובוס מלא בקולי קולות על דמי המזונות החודשיים עם הבעל/אישה לשעבר.
.6
יתערב בשיחות של ישראלים אחרים ברחוב בלי להכיר אותם בכלל או לדעת את הרקע לשיחה.
.7
יספר איך היה האוכל בתשובה לשאלה איך הייתה החתונה.
.8
יתלונן על החום במרכז הארץ ויסע לנוח באילת.
.9
(יערבב במבה עם שוקולד. (ובייגלה כמו חברה שלי
.10
יהיה לו לפעמים כואב לאהוב את המדינה, אבל אף פעם לא יפסיק לאהוב אותה.

Have you ever searched a song for so long? did you have this feeling, that you won't relax until you find it?
You just want to listen to it, to feel it.. and this desire gives you the power to look for it. Then, when you'll find it, you'd be satisfied.

Have you ever had the lyrics on your tongue, but when you tried to explain it to other people they didn't understand? you become speechless.
you can sing it to yourself, but no one else would understand.. it's yours only.
You feel connected to the words.. you learn from them, become smarter, optimistic.

You listen to those songs everywhere.. in the bus, in movies, in a club, on TV.. and you know, when you find the song, when you listen to it over and over again, that it's not about the song, it's about you finding your way of life



Passover is over.. I had a nice vacation.
On Sunday I went to the north.. I went to this ancient place called "Beit She'arim" :)
The north has some beautiful views.. <3


On Monday I studyed math with my friend, then I went to the beach with my girls♥ and after that we were in Tel Aviv until it was dark. :)





From next Sunday, I won't be able to breath.. I have lots of tests and bagruyut to do.. it won't be easy but I'll do my best to have good grades and feel satisfied.

I was inspired to make a sexy/beautiful post. :)

What's sexy to me?

- Sexy is playing the guitar
- Sexy is havnig a good perfume
- Sexy is IDF uniforms (& soldiers.)
- Sexy is having intelligence
- Sexy is people like Adam Lambert, Emile Hirsch, Matt Damon, Matthew Rhys etc.
- Sexy is wearing tailored clothes/geek chic
- Sexy is standing for what you believe in
- Sexy is knowing how to dance (mostly Hip-Hop)
- Sexy is bristles (not too much)
- Sexy is a good sense of humor
- Sexy is quoting from books/movies

What's beautiful to me?

- Beautiful is knowing how to sing (having a good voice)
- Beautiful is smiling
- Beautiful is kissing the one you love
- Beautiful is picnic at sunset
- Beautiful is showing emotions
- Beautiful is jewelry (on both men & women.. again, not too much though.. something simple but yet pretty and in a good quality)

I'll quote this person who said that sexyness has limits and beauty doesn't. A person can be so sexy that it will make me recoil.
It's important to keep it בגבול הטעם הטוב.


& Just wanted to recommend a few songs.. some are new, some are not.



♪ Eddie Vedder - Society
♪ Eddie Vedder - Rise
♪ Eddie Vedder - Long Nights
♪ Bedlight For Blue Eyes - Jumper
♪ Adam Lambert - Tracks of my Tears
♪ Keri Hilson - Turnin Me On (Feat. Lil Wayne)
♪ Seal - Love's Divine


PS. - Does anyone have a cure for jealousy?

Well I've seen this movie last night, and it made me speechless.



Some backgroud - It's about this guy, Christopher McCandless. After graduating in 1990 from Emory University, McCandless ceased communicating with his family, gave away his savings of $24,000 to Oxfam and began traveling, later abandoning his car and burning all the money in his wallet.
In April 1992 he made it to Alaska with only 10 pounds of rice, a .22 caliber rifle, a camera, several boxes of rifle rounds, and a small selection of reading material — including a field guide to the region's edible plants.
He died sometime in August (from eating a poisoned plant which he thought was eatable), and his body was found in early September by a group of moose hunters.

The movie describes his journey.
It was such a powerful movie. First of all, the places and views in the movie are breathtaking -









I was amazed by them during the whole film.
It made me think about those beautiful places over the world that I wish I could see with my own eyes.
Chris wanted to have the adventure of his life.. live with no pressure or commitments. He had a lot of courage. It would be such a good feeling to leave the routine and go to those amazing places such as Alaska, the Bahamas and the Amazons..
But, although Chris had a good time in his journey, he was lonely.. I think it made him crazy. A person can't be alone for such a long time and stay sane.
Eventually when he ate this plant, no one could help him, he was in one of the most beautiful places in the world, alone, dying.





I honestly think it's true. He thought so too, but it was too late.


I don't know how to explain this actually, but a lot of emotions came into my mind while I was watching this film. On one hand, I was kinda jealous of him, that he had this courage to leave everything and visit new places, make his dream come true. On the other hand I don't think I could do this by myself, because I need company.. I'd go crazy if I had to be alone for 2 years.


The soundtrack is also lovely. ♥
The songs are a mix of beautiful melodies and honest words. They match to the storyline so perfectly.


I think i'm going to watch it again sometime. It was very unique. ♥
It teaches you about life.. that you need to be open-minded, that there are good people in this world who are willing to help you, that although things might not always end up on the right way, you've got to take the risk, and live the dream.



BY THE WAY

I'm having a hard time.
I work, it's almost Passover, I hang out with my friends.. but still, there's math. There's always math.

My math teacher told my home room teacher that I should consider moving to 4 points. (I do 5)
It made me nervous, confused, sad all at the same time.
I don't know.. my grades aren't perfect but I try so hard. Yeah, I've missed a few lessons but it wasn't my fault. I guess it doesn't matter, because the only thing that rules is the grade.

There's this test on Thursday which i'm going to do.. I have to get 75+. I have to show that teacher that I can succeed - with or without her. I know I can do 5 points, but, that teacher makes me feel like a looser over and over again. Gosh I have to keep holding on.. I can't let her get me down. It's soo hard though.


B I O T O P E

We already had 2 biotopes. It's in this gorgeous place.. a green field.. dreamy
it's kinda fun.. we checked the temperature and the moistness, we saw a lot of flowers, we went to a butterfly hunting, and it was very nice :)

here's a picture of the field. <3




I'll be adding more pics soon, hopefully. :)



I hope to solve this big math mess, (gosh I haven't told my parents yet) because I'm optimistic.. most of the time.
