great news.

As you can see I'm changing my blog title into "*the great thursday" as I think it's time for a change and thursdays have always been great for me.
This day of the week has something magical about it - the rain on the balcony handrail in the morning, the cherries on the tree through the bus window, the skylines and the colors, the sun beam in your friend's eyes, the black umbrella and the library, the evenings and the shadows on the quiet table, the sigh and the step outside, ..
So I decided to dedicate my blog to my thursdays. The great thursdays.
From now on the address of this blog will be:

thegreatthursday.blogspot.com.

Don't forget to follow the new web address in your Reader + RSS Feeds!!

the happiest country in the world.

Once again Denmark reported to be the happiest country in the world. One funny fact from the article:
A high employment rate of 73% and a low percentage of 1.92% of employees working long hours contribute to high satisfaction levels. But overall, it is hard to pin down why those Danes are so darn happy.
Well, seems like nobody knows their secret!
I really admire this country, I've even learned Danish for a year (you can not imagine how hard it was!) and I hope I will go there someday and check up what they are hiding there:).
My sister was in Copenhagen last year and she brought me the little mermaid statue copy that is now by my window reminding me how much I want to go there:).
Just look at this photography blog, it's so beautiful!

Remember that cool photography idea - Feet First - I told you about? 

Now I've found one more brilliant idea!

Natsumi Hayashi is a girl, who lives in Tokyo and photographs levitating self-portraits, how cool is that, ha?

ticking boxes.

Remember when I told you about the festival Spring of the Cinema?
I mentioned that I would love to see the new short movie by Tadas Vidmantas.
Well, I didn't see the movie in the cinema, but I did saw the director himself that day! The thing was, I won two tickets to the other movie called Ave, which was at the same time like Ticking Boxes. But my movie was late and while we were waiting, Tadas Vidmantas walked from the hall with flowers. Anyway, now it's on Youtube, so you can watch it as well!
The whole time as I was watching this movie, I knew what's the end going to be. But well, the end is not so clear - isn't it?
P. S. Here's a very funny article for lithuanian readers (written by T. Vidmantas) about working with advertisement company - it made me laugh out loud!

Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

Good morning, my lovelies,
what are you up to this weekend? I don't have some special plans, but I'm really into cooking something new!
And I've found this nice recipe for breakfast! What an cute way of sharing recipe, by the way!
I should say that I'm not really a big breakfast-eater, but on weekends I love having long and tasty breakfast!
The second picture was taken in Berlin, in summer 2010. Our wonderful friend Justė made us this adorable and absolutely delicious breakfast in the balcony, that while looking at this picture, I can still remember that feeling sitting there, eating so tasty sandwiches that just melted in my mouth, drinking white coffee and talking without no rush, just like that :).
Here I somehow forgot, how I really enjoy weekend breakfast, so this weekend I'm going to make a king's breakfast for myself :).
Have a delicious weekend, everyone!
xoxo,
Ak.

happy birthday, to me -

I must learn to love the fool in me--the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool. ~ Theodore I. Rubin.

[..] into her dark eyes --

When he looked into her dark eyes, and saw that her lips were poised between a laugh and silence, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke – the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. ~ Paulo Coelho

getting lost is not a waste of time.

photo via Pinterest 1 & Pinterest 2

I've never been away from my home for such a long time and for me it's like the cold cold water (like the wonderful song of Damien Rice) - it's somehow awakes me, makes me catch the breath of my life. I know I needed it, I know I somehow had to reverse my life, cause in some parts it was missing.
But still there are some moments, when I'm wandering in the streets alone, trying to find the shop I need and I don't know, where the f*** am I going, I hear people talking in other language and it kind of reminds  me of the movie Lost in translation.
I can't answer to myself, what am I doing here. I don't know. And I probobly won't know. But I know one thing for certain. You must search in order to find something. And geting lost is never never never a waste of time.

Ak.

P. S. this is just what I need sometimes, thank you, Anna!
