Merry Christmas :)

I wish you a Merry Christmas. I wish you a Merry Christmas. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. :) :) :)

Christmas is coming! The day full of warm wishes, happiness, smiles, gifts, cakes and all close people around you. 

Even that in my country we celebrate Christmas on January 7th, but I have a lot of friends all around the world and I want to wish you a Christmas day as flawless and wonderful as you are. :)

Hope your Christmas will be merry as song and your heart will be happy the whole year long :)

Send all my warm wishes to your family, to your Mother, Father, to your Grandmother and your Grandfather, to your Sisters and Brothers and all close people around you :)

This Christmas will be the one Christmas when I wont spend it at home. I’m gonna spend it in England. I truly can’t believe it! It’s like a fairytale. I’d never ever ever imagine that I can fly to the place as London. We have a group of 20 people (I think). And my close friend Diana from my class, and one guy from my class going to England with me too by the program Study Inn. I’m so sorry that I won’t spend Christmas with my family, but I’m so excited and thanking GOD and my family for they gave me a chance to visit England. We will be there since 5th January to 21st January. So see ya there ;)

I also wish you a Happy New Year :) I hope this year was good for you. Forget about pain and quarreling. Forget about treachery and deceit. Leave it all in the old year. Your beautiful smile, your eyes full of sparks, and your heart full of happiness and kindness. Bring it all to the New Year :) And I hope that this year will be fine for you.

Stay great and keep smiling :) :) :)

And there’s the song for you.

P.S. Here's my dream gift on Christmas ;) Amen.

Sportland.

I ‘ve  just come back from Karkaralinsk, holiday house “Shakhteor”. I had amazing days and here’s the whole story :) Here we go.

Educational Department of my city has decided to make a small gift for children who do well at school, who take part in various contests, participate in Olympiads.

They gave us a ticket to the resort area, in Karkaralinsk, the pension "Miner". Each school had to take on 2-3 students. My classmate and me went to this camp. For the first day everybody was so shy, we got meet each other. Then the next day we forgot the names of each other, and introduced to each other all over again :) That was funny. There were about 160 people in this camp.

Our camp was called Sportland. And the whole sportland was split into 4 teams. Each team had a name. I was in the third team – Best. Team. Ever. (:  Our name was “Three stripes”. Oh, it’s a long story of making the name of our team :) The picture of my team.

 Our counselors and teacher :) Best in the world! 

 

Each day there was full of happiness and fun. We danced, then ate, sung, then ate, talked then ate, played then ate. Did I say we ate there? :D The food was so delicious. We had eaten for 10 days and another 10 days to come :) The pictures of our dining room.

Everyday we had sport games. We won and lost, but the most important no matter we were together. The one :)

We shared a room for 3 people. I lived with my classmate, and with a very cute girl Christina.  The room looks like this:

But the best thing in this camp that there were LOVELY people. I was enchanted to meet all of them. They were so sweet, so kind, so talented, so open, so nice.

Every single night we had a concert and in one of these concerts I sang Tim McGraw. I just took my guitar, all my knees were shaking, I was so excited about this. There were about 160 such talented people, no ordinary people. But then when I heard the applause, when I saw his hands raised up, I was speechless. I was enchanted to meet all of these guys. I was fallen for them. I got such a huge support and love. I hugged all of them, and my heart was saying "Thank you". And you know what? I looked out into a crowd of hundred of people and have them singing the words to this song. That dream almost came true. #DreamBig

At the last day we all were crying. I did not think that we could get attached to people within just 10 days. I miss all of them. We gotta meet each other soon again. And I’m so excited about this.

And as always Nadya wrote the song about this. The song called “Unforgettable” .Will be out soon. :)

And there are some pictures from this camp. –

Thank you Sofia :)

Woah, thank you to my lovely friend Sofia for made this picture to me. You're super talented! Keep on drawing :) :) :)  

Happy Birthday Mummy :)

Happy Birthday Mummy! 

You became more mature in just one year today. And words can't describe how flawless you are.
I remember when I was that little girl, I looked at you, and all I wanted is to be like you. -- To be so beautiful, smart, honest, fearless, perfect to me and I still want it.
I think you are the greatest present from GOD to me. Your heart is full of kindness. Your eyes are full of tender. Your smile is full of happiness.
 I remember how I sang my first song in the kindergarten for you. I was so nervous. And you looked at me so lovely. I will never forget those eyes. You hugged me then and said "You're my talented daughter". And that moment stayed in my head. When I fall down, I always remember these words, they make me believe in myself.
You and I have always been really close. You have always been the friend that was always there. There were times when I had no one to play with me or talk with me.But you were always my friend. Always. - Thank you Mummy!
 I know I'm a teenager, and as a normal teenager I can do something I shouln''t do. I can say something I shouldn't say. Please forgive me if I ever hurt you. I do love you with all my heart.
 Every child’s sweetest dream is having a sweet mother like you. I am lucky to live my dreams.
 I wish that all your dreams and wishes come true. I am also praying for a long, happy and healthy life for you. You are and always will be the first woman who I love the most.
You are the role model of my life and a spring of inspiration for me. May God bless you with all the happiness in the world on your birthday and forever. Happy birthday Mum! Thank you for being an amazing mother and my best friend and for standing by me and going with me through everything.
You have always been there for me no matter what and I am so grateful every day for the lessons you have taught me and the unconditional love you have given me. I love you so much!
 Happy Birthday!!!

Here's my little present for you. I know you've been asking me to sing that Russian song by Alla Pugacheva. I think it's time to sing it . So, here's the present -- Your favorite song by your favorite singer. Hope you enjoy this Mummy.

Algeria

About three weeks ago 10th and 11th grades visited Akmola Camp where were imprisoned and worked the wives of political prisoners. It is situated not far from Astana. (Astana is a capital of my country.)

"Algeria" - Akmola Сamp for the Wives of Political Traitors. The women called it in Russian ALZHIR as the  letters meant words: АЛЖИР - Акмолинский Лагерь Жён Изменников Родины. The 17th women's camp a special unit of the Karaganda forced labor Camps. ALGERIA was one of the largest camps of the Soviet women, one of the three islands, "The Gulag Archipelago." The opening of the camp was held in early 1938 on the basis of the 26th township labour settlement as a forced labor camp "P-17".

In the camp there were special conditions, in particular, has been banned every kind of correspondence, parcels. There was a special ban on work in the fields, but most women with the "necessary" camp professions still worked in the specialty. Most sick people, children and the elderly were working on sewing and embroidery factories.

Musicians, poets, teachers were engaged in agricultural fields, as well as a part-time job at a construction site.

The early years of the camp, were the worst for the prisoners. Anguish, hard work, a strange life - all this made life particularly excruciating.

In this camp were such famous people - Lisician Mary Vartanovna, Messerer-Plisetskaya, Rachel M., Satz, Natalia Ilyinichna Serbin, Ksenia Nikolaevna Solomyanskaya, Leah Lazarevna, Peters, Antonina Zakharovna.

The worst thing, especially for me, as I couldn't even hear about that, that the mothers were separated from their young children for years.

In 1953, the 17th branch KarLag Akmola camp was closed.

And there are some pictures from this trip.

Picture symbolizing pigeons trying to break free. Anyone of them could fly, others couldn't. The same story of a prisoner of Algeria.

Some portraits of Algerian women prisoners.

 

The Wall, where written women's surnames of those who had passed the horrors of the camp.

Each of us, began to look for namesakes or relatives. I did not find Fogelgesang, but found the last name of my grandmother. :)

And one name that I could not walk by. This last name is Anderson.

Life goes on... Smile :)
