Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I've ever known.

How would you describe yourself in 1 - and only one - word? No doubts mine would be - RANDOM...if in 2 - ABSOLUTELY RANDOM :)
Here goes the weekend story as a proof...
My Amigos (flatmates) + me have SPONTANEOUSLY decided to organize a B-B-Q party in our yard this Saturday...we have decided that on Thursday... Same night we went around our neighbours to spread out the news about the party as well as get-to-know the people... turned out that we are neighbouring with many fun and interesting people :)... (another proof that nothing would be invented or happen in this world without us, girls.... my flatmates spent 6 months living in the apartment but didn't take any action to get to know neighbours around...even taking into consideration that there are quite good looking girls living next door :)
So in spite the short notice invitation we got to gather 11 people... Couple of friends from my flatmates' side + bunch of old AIESEC friends :) So happy that Julien, Harman, Marta (oh dear, it's been a while since the last meet :), Roxy and Jen could make it to Reading... Antony came as well (Da Blondbint! :) ...
Turned out to be a great chill-out, though had to run it inside and change the name to Grill-B-Q because of that... Loads of food, tons of drinks and uncountable number of jokes & fun moments made this party a true blast! :)

And as randomly goes, started in Reading party went on and continued in London :)
Next day I got up at 9 and went to walk around London... Caught myself understanding that I've never been to Temple station, so decided to see that part of London... my feet took me to St.Paul's cathedral where I had my breakfast and spent 2 hours attending the service.
Though I am Orthodox I got curious about the differences in Orthodox & Catholic services... found it quite interesting...and surprising... as one of the leading priests - to be more correct, Sacrist - started the service remembering Solzhenitsyn, Russian writer and a Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature in 1970, who has recently passed away ... quoting Dostoevsky at the end as well...
Maybe the connection was poorly built or there were parts I didn't get, but I felt like attending a political debates at the times of Cold War... with Western leaders pointing in the face of Russians saying 'bad, baaaad Russians...' Well, agree, no history without black spots, no nation without its black sheep(s)... and of course no political or market competition without its 'warriors for true freedoms and rights'... but why now???!!!
Then went to Tate Modern to check on new expositions... spent couple of hours wondering around exhibition halls and staring at artworks of Monet, Kandinsky, Pollock, Malevich and other influential abstract expressionists-painters. As well watched 'Bluebeard' video by Alice Anderson at HBOX exposition...was amazed by a series of works that present life through self torture, rape or medical experiments... even a video installation... Gosh, sick as nothing else... why would ya spend your life on that?! or did I miss something???
Anyway, finished my Sunday journey in Covent Garden having the best (!!!) ice-cream ever! Find a minute to go there and you will find the heaven on Earth, believe me :)
... There are so many things I would like to talk about and describe on my blog... oh well, 24 hours are not enough especially if you are passionate about your job as well :) so, waiting passionately for a next bank holiday to get comfy in my yard, with laptop, refreshing cocktail and lounge music in the light of a sun... mmmmm... till then, will collect all thoughts and stock them internally...
