It was so great! i thought it will suck because i didn't know any of the actors, but it turned out they are an Opera group. It was lovely colorful and all that it should of been. I just didn't fall for Eliza, but i think she never stood a chance. She sang beautifully though.

Also this weekend i went to a 50's theme party. I danced for so long my body was in serious pains after that. I danced from like 9 pm to 3 am, really almost with no stopping (not that i'm showing off but me and my friend Hadas took home crowns for queen&queen, b/c they couldn't decide between us). When i have pics i'll show you, people were dressed so nice, i was pleasantly surprised.

On the down side. A few weeks ago i met this friend of a friend, and we got talking. then he added me on facebook, and asked me out a few times. I wasn't sure what i thought of him, i only saw him for real for such a short time! He said he's coming to the party so i thought i'll decide there, but then he wanted to pick me up (which didn't work out), so to the party he brought me flowers. I thought it was the nicest thing, i was so flattered. But then the night went on and i saw there was no "click", and you just know those things. So i had to tell him, and that made me feel really bad, i hate these moments, especially sense he was so nice!

On other subjects,Today i had my first Italian lesson, i'm finally learning it, after 4 years of wanting to do so
. Also i want to get a Polaroid camera, i love how the pictures come out in them, i just have to find a place that sells them.

I wanted to add some collages i made but for some reason i can't. I'll try again in a few days.
Have a nice week!

Hi everyone! I haven't bloged in ages, so i just skip lots and tell you what i remember that happened..
Well, starting with the latest, new year's eve (we call it Sylvester here). I was looking forward to it, and i never feel like going to a party, and of al days, i chose that day to be sick!! i welcomed 2010 watching "weeds" and feeling terrible . However, by friday night i felt alright, so i went with some friends, first to see "An Education" and then for my over-due Champaign, and it made me feel better.

Also, me and Lior finally went to Jerusalem, to meet our friend Linoy and her boyfriend. They have been together for 10 month and the the first time we met him! i think she was afraid of the difference between us, he is older (27) and he's a cab driver, and i guess she thought we'll think badly of him, really gave us little credit. I don't judge people by their diplomas.. anyway he was very sweet and we stayed over-night at their place and in the morning we went to the old city and strolled around (pics on facebook).

Moving on, I started going to art classes ones a week (the teacher is my sort of friend Shachar, who's Talya's ex, and might i add a pretty successful painter). I want to try out for university, to study fashion design, so i'm making a portfolio, and he is really making me work hard (and i like it).
A close friend of Shachar, Tsvi, open a little bar in the street where i study, and i go there about twice a week. It's always the same people whom i've known for some time now and it's lots of fun.
The one thing is, remember Guy my ex? ((i don't how much i've written on him, but we went out all summer and broke up by the end of September when he came back from a work thing in Paris. We liked each other but never really started acting like a couple and it was weird, so i broke it off.)) He is always at the bar, and always nice to me (sometimes too nice), but then i started paying attention to the fact the he is also very flirty with my best friend Hadas (i trust her of course, and she's the who came to me to talk about it). That's really annoying! i start to get really jealous if i see that, and he's not really coming on to her, just you know, those little things, which he does to me too, out of habit i guess... Then because i'm jealous i mistake it for wanting him back, which i don't think i do, and i'm feeling like a mad person.
Then i found out from a friend that Guy's been texting this girl who went to high school with, and whom he only met once, in November! What's that about?? he was the shyest most discreet man i've known when i met him.
So now i don't know if i should confront him about it and tell him how i feel or not. I'm also really curious about the texting..Hadas says i should talk to him, ,but i'm not sure..

feel free to share your wisdom with me!

I'm writing to you from my brand-new-shiny Mac computer!! it's so pretty and perfect, and it was a complete surprise, i just came home yesterday and it was here .

Actually i wanted to blog yesterday, and knew just what i was going to say, but had no time so by now i forgot everything, so this post is going to be weird and all over the place, sorry.

I had a really nice week, i saw 2 plays in a theater festival we had, both were nice, but one was really good.
Also i went into this one 2ed hand shop i like, and go there pretty often and the owner asked me to model some of the new things she got and she took pics, it was so much fun, and i get to pick out something i like from the store and get it as a gift .

Also i had a blast from the past, someone who was my best friend in middle school, called Amit sent me a a mail saying he'd like to talk, so i gave him my number and we talked today for like 20-30 minutes! He was so nice, he said he has a new girlfriend that reminded him of me, and he started being nostalgic and wanted to talk.

Jumping to another topic. I don't know if i mentioned it, but i'm a member of the cinematheque here, and in December the are going to screen the 1959's version of "The Diary of Ann Frank" (that was offered to Audrey) and the actress that played Ann will be there and talk about the movie! The film won 3 oscars in the year of Ben Hur, i think that's quite something... can't wait to go.

Well tons of other things are happening but i have gusts coming to watch Chicago so i must go.

Have a nice week!!

Well it's official, i have a new cinema love. Meryl Streep, it has been threatening to happen for about 6 months (since i watched dobut) and then i was watching a film of hers when i got a chance, but now it's Meryl-mania. I watched "The Deer Hunter" and "The French Lieutenant's Woman" back to back yesterday (i know, i also felt like i have no life). And then started reading the book too. Also over the last few weeks i saw lots more of her films, even one's i've seen before, just looking at Meryl diffrently i guess.
I don't know how it happened, i just had an "ah-ha" moment and she from being this actress who's pretty good, to oh-my-god-i-must-watch-everything-she-ever-did. God i even saw her stupid movie with Goldie Hawn, and liked it (and i hate her).

Does someone share my mania?

In other cinematic news, i'm going to see a lecture and a movie by the italian director Liliana Cavani. I haven't watched any of her movies, but i've been reading up on her so i'll have a background. It's going to be in the cinematheque that i'm a member of, so i'm pretty excited.

Later this week some of my friends are opening their own gallry, which is also very exciting and hopefully it'll be successeful, they've been working on it around the clock. Wonder what i'll wear.

Well,that's about all i guess.
Oh btw, don't think i've forgotten Audrey, acually i've watched soem her movies this week to after quite some time.

My friend Hadas and I have been making jewlery for some time now, and we finally took our friend Lior and she modeled for us. all the pics are on Facebook, and it's open to everyone, even if you're not my friend.

The theme is "in the kitchen", i have no idea how we came up with it.

Hope you'll like!

Why is the forum so dead? it's like no one comes in anymore. I'm not excluding my self of course..but it's just so sad, no updates, no news..

I just watched 2 interviews on youtube, from 1989 and 1990, and i wanted to share (b/c i know everyone saw it before me, i just know) and i didn't know where to write about it, and felt that no one will comment..Hopefully it's just a phase that'll pass..

Today is Jewish new year's eve-Rosh HaShana.
I am very glad this year is over (and soon 09' will be too).
I'm looking at this new year as a whole new chapter of my life, there's no better time for a new start. I feel better, most days i'm up and about, i'm in a new house. I'm thinking of getting a job, either at this vintage clothing shop 5 minutes from home, or at some music shop (i think both suit me). And i want to spend much more time doing art, maybe even design again, so that by next fall i'll be in Uni.

That's it. Even if it's not your holiday, i wish you all a great year (shana), and to quote some of the crazy sayings of the holiday:
May you be the head and not the tail (take the lead in everything you do).
And of course,
shana tova (happy year).

Writing to you from my new house . I really like it, it's already starting to feel like a home.

I have been pretty busy this last week. First with the move and then all kinds of things.

On Thursday we had a birthday party for Daniel, it was nice and intimate at first (we had it in Talia's boyfriend's place) and the thing was we had tons of very good food, shrimps and steak and what not. But then all those people crushed our party, and were very stuck up and annoying, the night went down hill from there, but i had to stay for Daniel (i was there until about 4 am).

The day after i had lots of visitors that came to see our new place, and then i went to the beach with Guy and we had a long talk (more on that later). I was tired all throughout the weekend but i still had to unpack and be a good host all the time.
Saturday was Daniel's actual Bday, and so he came over with his new b/f (who is lovely) and then of course we went out for drinks even though i really didn't want to. By the end of the night i was feeling better so i invited Dor (i don't know if i mentioned him, he's a friend from high school) over to my place and we watched StarWars. He kept putting his hand around me and holding my hand and stuff, and i was really confused from the talk i had with Guy the day before (more later) so i let him now i feel i lad him on..there's no way i want him..

Anyway now we're getting to the business with Guy. See i haven't been writing much about him, but we've been dating all summer (since the end of June) but it never got to be more then 3 dates a week, and we never talked about us and all that. I've got to say it was working for me, b/c i have all these days when i don't feel well, and i don't want to let anyone down, or feel obligated to see someone. So i kept quite.
Also he had plans of going to Paris for a month (for work), and i was unsure what that means.
On Friday he started the talk, he said we have a weird relationship (he's right) and that he wasn't sure what to call it. Then i said i didn't think of us as a couple, but that i liked him a lot. He said he felt we didn't have the dynamic of couple between us, and that it feels more like friends most of the time, but while he was saying that he was running he's fingers through my hair and holding my hand and all (arrr mixes signals!). So i asked if he wanted to be just friends or to announce we're a couple and then maybe we'll feel like one. He said he didn't know, and i said i didn't either. That went on and on and we didn't come to any conclusion. And also, he was about to live for Paris, so that's a big black hole in the middle of things..
We didn't talk for a day and a half after that. I was really confused, i guess he was too. I had a feeling it was over.
Then on Sunday we went for a walk around my new neighborhood (he lives here too) and he showed me around. Man my feelings for him were changing from one minute to the other! that talk just shifted me from what i thought i felt. One minute i wanted to kiss him, and the next i wanted to tell him, well let's just be friends. It was awful. I couldn't say a proper goodbye, and now he's gone until October. Damn. When we parted he said we'll just have to decide, and that's not at all what he said friday, then he thought things needs to work out on their own.

I'm really torn. On the one hand, he's great, sweet, smart and handsome, just what i'm looking for. But on the other hand, i feel for him now the same as i felt in July, i don't know if i'll ever LOVE him, i just LIKE him now..should i stick around to see if it'll happen?...Anyway it will all have to wait until October..

I just wanted to tell you i'm moving (not that it matters to you) and things are pretty hectic. I thought the next time i move it'll be on my own, but as it happened i'm moving with my family to a new house. It's a very pretty flat, all new and shiny, but it's smaller from what we have now, so we won't have a guest-room/study and the computer will be in the living room.Also we're leaving our beautiful sea view. On the plus side tho, it's very near the city center only a 5-10 minutes walk, but still in a quite and pretty street.

So it might be long before i check in again.
Bye bye

Do you believe in fairy tales? As much as i'd love to, i don't. I'm too realistic. The way i see it, there's no magic- just magic tricks, no fairies- just fireflies. I guess i'm too grown up already..

What i'm getting at, is this very funny story that surfaced the other day on the net. There's a tiny town called Qiriat-Yam, just 20 minuets northern to where i live, in fact my grandpa lives there. Over the last two weeks the mayor's office has been getting calls about sightings of a--wait for it--mermaid that was swimming along the shore, or sitting on the bay. At first they where sure it was prank calls, but they realized there are no connection between the people calling, and that they had in fact seen something (or someone).

A local fisherman described his sighting:" i came to the beach at dawn, i was with friends and we saw a naked woman sitting on the pier strangely. She looked very weird and caught our attention. We tried to get closer but she spotted us and dove into the waves. We were shocked, we all saw she had a fishtail instead of legs. It was a mermaid, no doubt. She had light hair, but not blond and pail skin, she had a very weird face." (translated from Hebrew by me).

There has been other sightings too, and now the town has photographers from all over the globe, and people coming to look for her. So the city decided that if anyone gets them photographic evidence, he'll get a reward (i read somewhere it's a million dollars but i doubt it).

True or false, it put a smile on my face, that's for sure. I love those little stories, human believe in the super natural, and childlike faith. And who knows, maybe she is real. Maybe Nessi of the Loch Nis is too..Who am i too say..

PS: Too more realistic news (but no less magical) there was a meteor shower last night. I went with my dad too the beach to watch it. It was beautiful.

I woke up to a horrible morning today. Sometime last night a man walked into a homo-lesbian youth club and started shooting. He killed a 16 year old girl and a 26 year old man, and wounded 11 others. Then he escaped.

The morning papers are shouting "hate-crime", the politicians of all parties condemn what happened (even the religious one's), but the fact is that it really happened. In 2009, a man still felt that much hate for others that choose to love their own sex, that it made him pick up a gun and kill. I'm shocked, i can't even explain how sad i am.
I live in a country that has a lot of hate in it, and that's no secret. No matter where you are on the political map, someone is bound to hate what you stand for. But this has no politics in my eyes, just pure hate of people and life. I feel like shouting "enough already"! Why can't people go about living their life as they choose? they did no wrong!

I was living in some dream apparently, i thought that b/c there are so many gays on tv, actors, musicians and such, and b/c they have so many rights in this country (they can't be married, but they can have all the rights a spouse has), then that means they are accepted. I was wrong.

And now i feel hate myself. I hate the world today.

With all the exams that is, i am now officially done with everything related to high school (it's about time ain't it?). I really feel they all went really well, and i'm expecting high scores (hope i didn't jinks it now..). I've got to say that once i was totally self-thought, and there were no teachers or class rooms involved, studying was much easier for me. Sorry, but now i think teaching some subjects is just stupid. Like History, there's no difference between some teacher telling you what happened, and you reading it. It goes much faster if you read it alone. WW2 took me a day, that's all. In class it was a few months.

Anyway, now i'm free, but i'm still not all that well b/c of those them pills i'm taking. I miss out on a lot of things, and it bugs me, it's not a normal life yet. I get tired really fast, and can't stand being outside in the summer hit for too long or i'll get a headache or get queasy. It doesn't sound like much, but there are times when it's hard for me to get out of bed. It sucks.

Also, i had to cancel on Guy quite a few times, and it stinks. I really really like him, and if it was possible i would see him everyday.
Oh, he went to Barcelona for a week, i gave him so many tips (i'm just in love with that city now, you must go there if you can).
I really hope that i'll feel ok when he comes back.

Oh god, sorry about that annoying post, i just had a lousy weekend. I'll stop writing then..

Oh happy belated 4th of july to all you Americans. I ate a burger in your honor yesterday

So it happened. Monday night i went to the studio, i really didn't feel like drawing but i thought Guy will be there so i went anyway.
He was like 40 minutes late, and i was sure his not coming, but suddenly he showed up.
We were kind of flirting all evening. There was this one part when the song " Espera Un Poco Mas" (wait a while longer in poor translation) was playing, and we were looking at each other and singing it, it was really funny. If you know this song, it's all hard core undying love thing, he says "me moriria si te vas" (i'll die if you go) and such .

After a while he asked if i wanted to go up to the roof with him. It was really romantic, from one side you see the harbor and all the ships, and on the other you see the mountain (which is the city)all lite-up.
We were sitting close to each other, talking, and he find little ways to touch my hand and my back, and finally we kissed. It was a really lovely night.

He's in Tel Aviv for a few days now, but i think it's going somewhere. I like him a lot, he has just what i'm looking for in a guy.. However, i think he's a little scared of the age difference between us, kept saying how young i am. I don't feel young though, with all i've been through this passing year...

It's a bit weird writing all of this on the net, i guess i'm not so used to blogging anymore, a year ago i shared everything. I feel like sharing now too, so i think it's ok..

I've nothing much to say. The Psychology test went very well, and yesterday i had the bible test too, it was fine. I have 4 more exams, the next one is history, which i think will be ok. I am worried about art history, it's nothing like last year, everything is focused on sculptures, while we focused on paintings! i don't really like sculptures, just few amazing ones (i did just saw "David" in Florance STUNNING!). And i have a test in Methodology, i never learned it in school, but i;m doing it instead of a paper everyone wrote. I hope it's not hard..

So, the guy i wrote about, actually his name is Guy (lol), he sort of asked me out, not like "let's go to a movie friday" but more of a "let's get together sometime". I think it's because i was going on and on about how i have to study all the time now. Also he's really shy, my friend Talya says he had a girl that really broke his heart so now he's scared. Will, see how it goes..

Hope all of you are well!

I am such a bad blogger!! I hardly write anymore, and i don't want it to be like that! I'm going to really try.
The thing is, there's these pills i'm taking, and they have pretty bad side effects, so either i'm home and not feeling well, or i feel good so i'm out making the best of it.

Well, since i've blogged Daniel went to the army (he likes it so far) Talya my friend got accepted to a really good university of arts (that i'd like to go to someday to).

I went to Toscany with my family, we stayed in a small village 40 minutes from Florance (btw, it's called Firenze, not Florance, i don't why it's so messed up in English). For the first few days i wasn't feeling well, but then i stopped taking my pills and it was such a huge difference! From then on i enjoyed it so much, i saw "David" and all the great art there, the buildings, churches and so on. We even drove as fas as Piza.
Photos will be on facebook soon
Maybe my next entrance will drawings i did there,i'm quite happy with a few of them.

We got back Sunday morning, and yesterday i started doing the finals i mist last year. I did English, and i think it went ok. I have 6 more, next week is psychology, so it's a bit harder then this one.
It was so weird being at school again, but now i'll have to get used to it.. I met a few teachers that seemed happy to see me, and everyone commented that my now short hair suits me better then the long hair i had in high school. I kind of agree, i'll look for a picture to show you.

Last night was also my cousin's wedding. It was fantastic! I can't remmember the last time all of my mother's side of the family were together. All my aunts uncles and cousins were there, apart from the two babeis. It was a great night

One other thing, i met this guy at Talya's boyfriend's studio (i think i told you, we paint and get together there) and he's really nice, and cute and smart, and i know he likes me b/c he told Talya that he thinks i'm cute. But there are 2 problems: A)i feel bad a lot of the time, and i don't think i can date anyone like that, and he's 29!

Because i went abroad and the wedding and all, i haven't seen him for 3 weeks, so i don't know where we're standing.
A few weeks back he heard i wasn't feeling well and he got my cell number and text me a get well soon massage he's really cute..

i wanted to post a pic of me with short hair but the site won't let me, so another time.

I hope to be a better blogger in the future!

I'm getting so lazy with this blog!!I don't mean too, but some how it happenes..

So i've been to Barcelona with Daniel, i got back last Sunday.
WOOOOW what a city!!! I fell in love with it! i know i'm going back some day, i just have too, 5 days are not enough. just walking in the streets is megical, it's so pretty and wonderful. We had a master plan of places we wanted to visit and besides the Dalli museum (it's outside the city) and one church we saw everything. All the Gaudi buildings are so great, i loved the "Sagrada Famillia" (the church he built until he died, and never finished) best. He's park "Park Guell" is also breath-taking.

Oh the people are so nice! i managed to
ommunicate some how with my soap-opera Spanish (most of them don't know English) but they're all so helpful.

Well we had such a good time,i can't even start to tell you everything.
All the pictures are on my facebook, it's so much faster to upload there then here, so if you feel like it, take a look (really pretty i promise).
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=810320530&ref=name#/album.php?aid=238203&id=810320530&ref=mf

Since i've been back it's been pretty boring, and some pills i'm taking made me feel kinda sick so i didn't do anything really. my doctor cut the dosage so it should be fine from now on..

My sister turned 10 on Friday. I got her some cute things in Barcelona, but my parents got her a brand new ipod! now don't get me wrong, i want her to enojoy it, but the girl looses everything! and i mean EVERYTHING! From her mobile (god knows why she needs one, but my mum is crazy) to one of her shoes. YEP she lost only 1 shoe! how can that be?!
so i know that this beatiful ipod will be going bye bye after one or two trips to school...shame..

OH i bought the Cary Grant boxset! i'm so happy, i noticed he's my favorite leading man, and it was a real bargen

It's Pass-Over this week, so i may not be here again for some time (family and stuff, you know)and i think Easter next week too, so happy holidays to everyone!

So today is Purim (view last entry if you don't know..). Yesterday i was at Talya's brother's movie in Tel Aviv. Daniel and i went as Bonnie & Clyde. I have a pic but it's the middle of the night and my phone camera is not the best. still:



It was really fun!

I don't have pics from the party yet, but i hope to get them by this weekend, if they'er any good i'll post them.

Happy Purim to all of you too!

It might seem like i got seek of blogging, but i really didn't. I just never find the time to sit down infront of the computer anymore. It's been two weeks since i checked the forum! When i think of it it feels like the longest time, but i've been meeting a lot of friends and family so i didn't even think about it.

Well my party was last week. It was great! Almost everyone i invited came, only a few couldn't. From what i've heard people had fun. My friend Olga took pics, i didn't see them yet, i hope they'll be nice so i can post them. I wore that vintage 60's dress with black tights and classic black heels. To complete the twiggy look i had black eye liner and big earrings.
The day before the party my parents were invited to a party of their good friend, so they brought back lots of snacks, beer, cups and plates, so i didn't have to buy them my self. I ordered this special party-sushi-tray. It looked amazing but i only ate like three, people ate it very fast . My friend Jonathan came, i haven't seen him in like 3 months. Also Daniel Lerner (his the best friend of my friend Daniel, i've talked about him before) came especially for the party, and he lives far away (like 1 and 1/2 hour drive)more about him later. Talya's boyfriend made me shrimps, calamari and crabs (get it, crab=cancer lol). He used to be a cook, and that was some of the best sea food i've ever tasted .

Besides the party i've been going to movies and gigs in town. Also my parent's friend from Germany was here and we went on a trip to the north with her one day. So i've been having a good time.
Next week there's a holiday called "Purim". It's like Halloween, the children dress up and all (but it has nothing to do with witches and all of that). Today i sewed my sister's costume. She's going as this brand of chocolate, go figure..but thats what she wants, so she got it. It's been so long since i last used my sewing machine! i had a blast, i forgot how much i like it.
On monday i'm going to the premiere of Talya's older brother's movie in Tel Aviv. He's a director, quite young, but he might be well known b/c he got a few awards already.. Anyway some people might dress up in costumes, i thought about doing it too, but Daniel got me this really nice dress for my birthday and i can't wait to wear it!

Oh more good news! It seems like Daniel and I are going on a few day trip to Barcelona! we want to go at the end of this month before the prices go up, we found a few good deals,and once i get an "OK" from my doctor we'll book them

So, about Lerner. I think i have a crush on him. Well, ok i know i do, but i don't know if i want anything to happen. I've only met him a few times and thought he was cute right away, we sort of "clicked". Plus he came all the way here for my party, and was also here on my Bday (and i think that was the reason for him coming, tho nobody told me). But he lives far away, and he's doing this year of volanteer work before the army so during the week he's even farther away, do i really want to try and date someone under these conditions? seems like a lot of hard work. Not to mention i don't even know if he thinks of me that way. I sometimes do and sometimes don't. I asked Daniel but he says he dosen't know. I would send him to try and find out, but he's a guy ans he'll to obvious, i know it.
Anyway i'm lost...

If you read all that you're brave! sorry i went on like that!!

Hi! i'm still closed at home, but i think next week it's back to usual

I've got a lot on my mind, there are some things going on, but i need to know more before i blog about it..

So, i liked two things i drew so i decided to share them with you, the scaning is not so great b/c it's a pencil .

first one:



If you're wondering (or can't recognize), from top to bottom: Gloria swanson, Marlen Ditrich, Jean Harlow, Clodett Colbert, Rita Hayworth and Betty Davis (really young).

second:


This one isn't as good. It's Gregory Peck (dosen;t look like him tho), Humpry Bogart, Clark Gable, Paul Newman, Cary Grant (my love), Sean Conery and James Dean (my lover. hahahaha i wish).

That's it for now, bye.

Hi. Still alive-ish.
I have one more week of treatments coming up, and then probably another week before i feel like a person or something of the sort, but a lot is over and done.

Weird things are happening with my friends. Talya (who's supposed to be gay and only ever had girl-friends) started going out with this man (not guy, man) who was her and booki's art teacher (not a teacher like in school, he's an artist that gives lessons). Anyway his like 32! I've got to say he is one of the coolest people ever, but it's so weirdddddd. will see how it'll turn out..

What else? My oldest cousin, Inbar had a baby . There's a party next week, but i won't be able to go...happy anyway..

Oh my mom got me this book "Salaam, Paris". It's about an Indian girl who goes to Paris and then becomes a model. I really thought it was a crappy like "flight book", but anyway all over the book she says she came to Paris b.c of Audrey in "Sabrina", so that's nice.

just checked in, hopefully next post will be more cheerful . bye.

Hi everyone! god i'm so sorry i haven't updated but i got back from Jerusalem and started chemo so i haven't had the time!

I had so much to tell you, but now there's no chance i'll remember it all.

So way back, Jerusalem was so much fun, very cold tho. It was just what i needed before starting up again. I even got a chance to see one of the uni's i'm thinking of going to (school of art and design of course).
The weekend i got back i drove all the way from Haifa to Tel Aviv, my longest drive yet. I went with Booki to this ultra chick sale of 50-60-70's clothing, and i got the cutest little 60's twiggy dress.
My friends are all thinking about the party they're going to have for me once i'm done next month, so i'll wear it for sure.

Then on the 11th i got into treatments, gowning by slowly but better then the last time so far.

Oh and you guys are going to be jealous b/c now i can take medical marijuana, hahahaha. It's a pill tho, not a a joint. I took it once, it helped with the pain and all, but wasn't all that big a deal, so kids stay off drugs, alcohol is cool enough

well two weeks and half before i'm done, just praying i won't have to be hospitalized like last time.

On to to today's events. I feel lucky to have a bday on such a huge day, usually i got just one other person with me (one lovely lady ahm) but today is of course Obama's day too, actually it's all starting in like a minute.

Today i got so many chocolate i fill like Willy Wonka, plus a cd, money (lots) and the most amazing lily-of-the-wally bouquet, which is my favorite flower in the world. I had lunch at home with the family and my cousin and grandpa, and soon friends will be coming over. I'm thinking of showing "funny face".

Ok last but not least. Two weeks or so ago the novella BAT was re-published in Hebrew, with a new translation and and Audrey on the cover (the pic is Audrey in Sabrina, go figure). so one of the big news papers did a huge spread on all of that, and i just had to scan it. That was a great thing to wake up to

I'm so sorry i'm not updating more, i never seem to be at the computer long enough for that..

Anyway, i just wanted you to know i'm going to Jerusalem with Talya for a few days, just b/c we felt like it . I've never been there out side of school trips so it should be fun.
I'll update when i get back.

c ya! xxx

I past my driving test today!!!

It's already the 4th day of hanukka and i haven't had the chance to write, so i'm doing it now on xmas eve.

I wish you all happy holidays, i hope you're having a great time with your families and friends (and getting great presents).
That's it for now, i must go..

My favorite on "big brother" won! yay!! Her name is Shifra, like my cat's (and it's the weirdest most un-common name ever, i've never met anyone besides my cat with that name). No one thought she'd win including me.. I thought most people don't like her b/c she may come of as a bit of a snob and maybe a bit dorky. But she's not, she's just really really smart. She went to the art uni i want to go to. she's very well read, and (to win you guys over) i heard her talking of Audrey a few times on the show, she even knew where she was born and when. Once she described to people around her the escot scene from MFL. I'm really happy people chose her as a winner ( i don't vote for tv shows, watching is as far as i go).

So i just came back from a driving lesson. it's the first i took since i got sick. I guess you don't remember but i was just about to go to a test when i found out i was sick. It really bugs me that i can't drive yet, so i hope in the 3-4 weeks i have now i can go to a test.
Once i'm helthy i'll go learn to drive on what i really want- a vespa (but you still always need to be able to drive a car).

In other news, Booki is really miserable. She had an asthma attack 2 days ago, and yesterday she was sent to an army hospital to get a new inhaler, and she felt really sick. Now she's sleeping in a special tent, alone, which also sucks. I feel so helpless, i really want to do something but i can't. I'm going with her parents to visit her Saturday. Anyway it'll be over in two weeks and then her army service will be just like a job in an office or something like that (it's a bit of secret so we don't really know yet).

Ok now i need to tell you something nice.. well i went 2ed hand shopping with Talya and i got a wool coat, it's really nice. Most of it is deep blue but the in the front there are 2 red wide lines and on there sides red leaves (or leafes?not sure) it looks very majestic.
Besides that, we went to a 2ed hand book store (it's new) and i found a copy of Marry Poppins i've been looking for all over (with the original drawings). The guy there was really nice (and hot!) he gave to me for almost nothing, plus he talked to us and gave us choclates. Let's just say i'll be going back to visit. A LOT.

Well that's all i've got..c ya

It has been too long since i went on A1! i've been so busy, i guess i'm making up for lost time. The fact is that i'm almost never home and if i am i'm not on the web so, sorry.

It's been so hectic these past two weeks, i tried to get as much time as i could with Booki (she started her service on Wedansday) and we did a different thing everyday and meeting all sorts of people (not all of them people i wanted to meet lol).
I won't bother telling you everything b/c it'll take too long and just be boring..

On Wedansday morning Daniel Talya and i went to see her off (really early, 7 am!). Let's just say there were a lot of tears. From all my friends she was the one who really didn't want to go and serve (she's like me, all make love not war b/s ). But i'm sure she'll handle it ok, she's strong enough. On the phone she sounded ok.

So, all the holidays are coming up soon, and in my town there's this festival called (ok it sounds way too lame in English) "The Holiday Of Holidays". There are a lot of people from each of the 3 big religions here (Jews, Christians and Muslims) all of which have holidays on December, so this fest celebrates all 3. Daniel and me are planing to check it out next weekend (we don't have time till then) but the city looks all pretty with all the lights (i'm sure where you live it's way more elaborate..but still).

There are so many things i feel like writing but i know that if i wrote 1 i'll just go on and on..arr so i'll stop myself.

Have a great week everyone

Or in other words, all my friends became grown ups and have jobs during the day time (or they are in the army) it sucks so bad! And the worst part, i know in a few months once i'm healthy i'll be like that too!

It's not that i want to go back to high school (no way) but it's annoying.
I went with Booki to eat brakefast at this cafe we love, and then she had to go to work and i stayed there a little while, i really felt like doing something b/c it was a pretty day not too cold or anything. So i checked my phone to see who i want to see, and i discovered non of my friends are free at 10 am. I still had a nice time walking home (it's a long walk) in the sun that came out that day, and then i came home and watched Ben Hur (god that movie is long).

And speaking of Dracula, Talya, Booki and me saw it two days ago, the one from 1931. I thought it was awesome! Then i watched the 1922 German version on youtube (it's called "nasfuratu") Dracula there is way more creepy (and FYI he was used in a few episodes of spongebob!). If you're in to silents i think you'll like it.

My mum's Bday is tomorrow and Linoy's is Saturday. My dad is getting something for my mum today, b/c i had no idea what to get her besides slippers which are not a real gift, they just go next to the gift.
For Linoy i got a really cute painting of snow-white for her flat in Jerusalwm (she complains it doesn't look like a home) and "Panic! at the Disco's 2ed album, but i found out she has it and i have to get another, and i have no idea which CD to get . I hate buying presents it's so exhausting. Nice of me to say so close to your xmas ain't it? sorry!

Anyway i'm in a sad-ish mood b/c Booki is going to the army next week, and she's my closest friend at the moment and has been since the whole fight everyone had in July, so now i have to learn to live without her, and it's going to be hard. Thank god Daniel is hear till May and Talya and Dor are staying in Haifa.
Now i've got to make some new friends, the kind that is finished with the stupid army

byebye! beware of vampires!

It has been the hardest 5 weeks of my life. There were so many problems, everyday a new one, so many pains and side effects, i acually almost didn't move all that time, and when i was in the hospital i was in a wheel chair b/c i had knees problems (like some 80 year old). I still have problems going up the stairs. Then a week ago i had my last treatment for this cycle, but i had a fever, so they hospitalized me (all my blood counts were too law to take a risk and send me home). I was so angry about that! Also the hematology unit was full so i was stuck in a different place where i don't know any of the staff, and the nurses knew nothing about treating people like me. All i did that week is lie in bed and watch "Big Brother" on a channel that shows what happenes in the house 24/7, how lame is that?! there was nothing to watch!
So to sum it up, it was pure hell.

Now i'm home but i still can't go out for a few days till my immune system gets a little better. After that i'm going to have as much fun as i can every day! i've seen only 5 of my friends this month, and very few times, i feel so out of touch.

I do have some good news tho (ok not totally good but almost) there are some changes in my treatment plan and i only have one month left and not two, which means next time will be the last and by Febuary it's going to be history . The sucky part is that b/c of that the doses will be bigger hans treatmet will be harder. Thought the one that gave me knees problems won't be in it at all. But after that hell i'll be done forever and that's the main thing.

I wish you all that you always stay healthy, and i really hope you take care of yourself, b/c there are kinds of cancer we can avoid (not mine, but i'm sure you know which and how). I don't why i addad this part, but i felt i should.

Well now i;m going to check what's going on in the big brother house, i got so hooked on it, it's sad really

missed you guys so much! it's good to be back! i promise next time my blog will be cheerful, i just needed to get whining out of my system

HI! I'm a day late to say happy 1 year on a A1 to me!

That's really all i can say, i'm in the middle of a very hard month, but it's coming to it's end soon, and then i'll be here full force again

love and miss you all!

I wanted to blog all week, but didn't get the chance! I took pictures of all the jewllery we made, but with Booki's camera, so i don't have it yet. I promise to upload once i get them.

The sale went well, in just one time we got back all of the money we spent on matireals, and people asked us where else we're going to be . These 2 friends (that i don't know, but somehow are related to my friend on facebook, took pics of the necklaces they baught and uploaded them to Facebook (so yay me).

I've been going out and hanging with friends every day b/c on Sunday i'm starting a new round of treatments that will take a month. But this time i'll be coming home eatch time, not like the last times when i went to the hospital.
I actually got some upseting news. I have 3 more rounds, and i thought i'll be done by late January or Early Febuary, but it's going to last until late Murch.
This is how it's going to go: Starting Sunday i have 4 weeks of treatments (not everyday of course, but i won't be able to go out and stuff b/c of the weak immune system i'll have. Then i have a 4 weeks brake, then another round and so on. So b/c of the long brakes (there's not a choices, but a must) it's going to take longer.

And on a much happier note, starting today i am an offical graduate of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award we went to the British embassy and had the ceramony, and it was really fun. I baught this cute little black dress, and guess what else i had on?! Audrey's necklace!!! yes i finally got a proper chance to wear it. I was so nervous tho, and kept touching it to make sure it was still there
It was a nice day.

I have lots more to tell you, but it's 1:30 am and i'm super sleepy, so it's going to have to wait.

good day/night!

My god Joseph Fiennes is hot!! just needed to get that off my heart right away. I didn't get to see the red carpet, we got there too late, but i saw everything on tv, and well, he's just hot!

Anyway i went to the opening of the estival with some friends, and we met so many people, you just wouldn't believe! We started making bets about how much farther we'll get on the road before we bumped into someone. The whole city was there, plus all the turists, it was crazy.

The most exciting person i met was Hike. I don't suppose you remember, but back in March she was a guest at my house for a week.
I first met her in the spring of 07' when a groupe of German kids came here and people from "the duke of Edinburgh awared" (like me) hosted them. Then in the summer we spent two weeks with them in Germany, and that was the last i saw everyone exept her. She really fell in love with Israel or something (most of the people tell me it's guilt that made her do it) but she came back as an assistent guide to another groupe of Germans, and then this summer she came to volunteer for 6 months somewhere in the north. I think she's one of the sweetest people i've ever met.
We stopped keeping in touch when i got sick, b/c it was hard for me, but a few weeks ago i heard some rummers that she's dating a guy who was also in the groupe with us. I met them together, so it turned out it was true. I couldn't be happier, they are the cutest couple ever! (i heard all the rumers from guys, all are sooo jealous of him as she is very very pretty ). We just stood in the middle of the festival and talk for like 20 minutes, i might be meeting both this weekend.

In other "duke of Edinburgh awared" news, i've completed everything i had too (apparently, i had no idea) and am invited to an event in the British embassy. I'm quite excited, it sounds really formal and cool, i have to get a new dress . I was told the prince will be there (not Philip, his brother) and lots of tea. I wonder what will happen when Angela finishes the awared

Last, but really not least, i started making really crazy jewelry, all very colorful and childish (you might say it's a bit Tokyo fashion, but not quite as full of hello kitty and other of the sort). And from the reaction i got from friends i really think i might be able to sell them for a good price. So on Sunday there's a fair in one of the "bohemian" streets, and i might be going to sell. I'll keep you posted, and we'll try to do another entry with pics

a tout aller!

Hi, just wanted to say i'm back.
It was a horrible week, but well, now it's over, and tomorrow is a holiday agian, Sucot this time (i know you've never heard of it, but well i'm not sure what it's all about either) there are tons of festivals all over the country, and here there's an international film festival (like every year). I love this holiday b/c of it! It starts on Wedensday, and some great directors and actors are coming. One of them is Joseph Fiennes (you know, from Shakespeare in Love ) I'll try to get to his new movie and get a glimps of him, but i'm sure it's all sold out. Love him anyway.

Well i won't continue to ramble on with nothing to say. Have a great week everyone!

I've noticed this week that i have too many groups of friends, that have no connection to each other, it's really hard to meet all of them, even more so now, when everyone is a away during the week and come back on weekends (and holidays like this week).

So i told you i went to the b-day party in my last entry. Well the day after it, i met some of the girls who were there, and one of them told me, that the same guy who asked for my number, asked for hers too! the nurve on that guy! well, now even if he calls i wont answer, sounds like bad news to me!

Anyway, on thursday i went to Tel Aviv with Daniel (and his brother's awsome girlfriend) we had tons of fun. I bought brown boots with heels (so in love with them!! what is it with girls and shoes?!) a red purse shaped like a , so cute, tho a bit 5 year old-ish. But i went with it yesterday and got great responds even, from people i don't know, so yay. And a gicky shirt of start-wars and a cardigan from TOPSHOP.

The most important thing i got: the Barry Paris bio!! yayyyyyyyy i found it in a book store only about movies and music that has stuff the the big chains here don't, and it wasn't that expansive at all. I also got the hollywood icons- Cary Grant, so now i own 3 of those.

I really spent too much money, yesterday i also did some shopping..I went with Booki's boyfriend to see Wall E for free, and then we went to this "T Market" it's a hepening where designers sell their every-day collections. I bought a shirt with 80's Johny Depp on it and another with all theses neon colours. And a necklace with a cupcake pn it (the cutest thing). There were some Audrey things, but nothing worth buying.

After that we went to Talia's house party, it was pretty fun, met some cool people, but at some point the avrage of ages went up to like 23, and those of us (little 18 yeat old) who were still there decide to go the beach, not to swim or anything, but it was so much fun! And a new friend of Daniel (i've been hearing A LOT about latley) was there too, and he's super cute! but he lives very far away
But it was tons of fun.

Today i went with Linoy (who finally came back home for the weekend) to a late breakfast in one of our fav coffee houses, and then we spontaneously went to the zoo! Now the zoo in haifa is like at the end of my street (but i have a very very long street, so i never see, hear, smell or walk by it), and both of us haven't been there for years. We took like million pictures with our phones and actted like little kids .
Next i'm going to jump to Tal's and say hey, haven't seen him in ages. And tomorrow i'm going to the hospital again for a few days which means i won't see Booki who's coming back tomorrow, and that i'll miss the next Holiday that will be on Thursday (not too sad about that b/c it's a fast-day and all).

Well, anyways have a great week!!

PS: sorry it was such a long blog!! if you made so far you rock!

Been busy with the holiday and all, so i wasn't on the computer for a while.. hope all of you are good!

We had a great two-day new year, i ate so much i had a hardtime moving after the meals! And i saw many friends that came back which was just so much fun.

Went to a birthday party of my frieds (the twins) last night, it was at this bar, it was nice. We had a hard time getting there tho, a girl from my class Julia drove me, and it was at a part of town we don't know so we ended up doing like three rounds around the same block before we found the place
So once we were there it was fun. I met this guy David, a friend of one of the twins, really nice, i think he's like 20 and he asked me for my phone number and i gave it to him. I'm not sure if he's gonna call or not tho, will have to live and see.

In other news, my friend Talya moved out of her parents, and now she's living with two roomates in this really cool flat, and i'm so jealus! It seems like a party everyday at that house! Oh and on Friday there's acually going to be a party . Anyway, Daniel and me started talking about getting a place together in the winter or spring (after i'm done with everything), but he wants to be in Tel Aviv b/c that's where he'll be serving in the army, and places there are so expansive and hard to find..well, there's still time.
But tomorrow we're both going to do some shopping there (there goes the money i got for new year), and we'll meet Daniel brother's girlfriend, and she's one of the coolest women i've ever met, so i'm happy. She's now casting for the tv show "big brother" and she said she'll love it if we help her find people to be on it (isn't she so awesome?!).

That's about all i have to tell ya! bye!

Ok, so Paul IS ALIVE, if anyone was still unsure (hope you got this Beatles referens, if not shame! )

It was sooooooo great! so much fun, and sooooooooooo many people (50,000 of them!).

We left the house at about 3:30, the show was to start at 8:00 (in Tel Aviv, so we had a long drive). Anyway my parents somehow got a hold of the production and asked to let us park the car alose b/c of me (didn't want me to walk a lot after last week), and they let us (good job mum!). We were there at 5:30 and the front of the place near the stage was already full of people (man it must have sucked waiting like that). Anyway we had the more expansive sits, that were marked so we didn't have to hold on to them like others.
They were quite far away, he looked just the size of a a real beetle to me.There were huge screens, and no one got in my way, so i was happy with the sits. Also looking at all the people from above was breath-taking i can tell you that.

He sang lots of Beatles, opened with "Hello-Goodbye" and closed with Srg Peper and "The End" from Ebby Road (ha! i knew he would) and in the middle dedicated "Something" to George, "My Love" to his Linda and "A Day In A life" to John (and also sang John's give peace a chance). Hearing those songs live, wa something i will never ever forget!
During Live And Let Die there were fireworkes and lights, it was so pretty! but then in other songs it was just him and the gitur, and it was also great. what a pro!

Oh and he spoke so much Hebrew! almost everything he said really, it was really fuuny. And he dances and all, like he was 30 not 66.
All i can say is, if you get a chance to see him, you must! one of the last great musicians that are still around, and preforming well (i've heard thing about the Rolling Stones not being too good).

Oh wow, right now my dad walked in and gave me a model of a Vespa like in RH! ohhhh how cute! yay

You should know i've been working on this blog like 2 houros now, so many things happen during it! so i'm sorry if it sucks, i can't even remember what i wrote!
I just talked to Booki, there's still 10 days before she comes home from the UK. Tomorrow she's going to London
She told me all the papers there are saying that MCcartney is a bad man b/c he came here to Israel (and were apperantly the devil) gosh that makes me so mad! i don't want to go into all that, i'm not that kind of person who gives speeches, but that's just wrong saying things like that!

This blog really must come to an end, it's long and weird! next Monday is Jewish new year, and then we have a bunch of holidays coming up, so everyone will be back

on that note, bye bye!

Well i've been gone a week, was in the hospital and then had some yucky days, BUT all over now, and tonight i'm going to see Paul!
yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay

That's all i wanted to say, hope everyone's good
i'll tell you all about how it was! c ya!

Haven't blogged in ages! There's not much to tell really (apart from what i found out just now! but wait for it). I've just been hanging with friends and watching tons of movies, nothing special. Booki is in the UK for a few weeks, and i'm just waiting for my next treatment (any day now, just waiting for a room in the hospital).
Really i just want to go to the concert already (Paul's but of course) and nothing else is as important to me right now..lol how stupid am i? hahaha

Oh and i want a puppy real bad! just can't get this bug out of my head. I feel like i have to get a "cavalier king charls spaniel" (what a name!) i don't know how i got to this point. It's impossible tho, i have two old cats and i won't shake their world like that, and my dad says no way (his really only a cat-man). I said i'd take one when i have a place of my own, but then i found out they cost A LOT. well, damn it! i'm like a 4 year old going on about that aren't i?

Ok, now i'll tell this great thing.
My dad has a good friend who went to live in California about 10 years ago, and now he owns a wine shop in Santa-something.
Well, he came for a short visit and my dad went to see him. Suddenly he called me, and said that his friend has a regular client, named SEAN FERRER!!!!!ahhhhhhhaaaahhhhhhh
how awesome?!?!?!?!?! i'm so going to visit and stalking him!!! (hahaha ok no) but we can contact him now, there's a way!
And the nice thing is that they always invite me to visit, well now i think i will! Oh i'd love to meet Sean!
I just wish i knew that like a year ago, b/c i wanted to contact him to ask if he would write a few lines for my Audrey-paper.
Oh well, still, i'm so happy

Well, have a nice week everyone!

I wasn't around for a week, but it feels longer..(gotta love A1).
I hope your all ok. Marina if your reading this (i know you don't comment a lot) then happy sweet 16 darling, sorry i wasn't here on the 27th!!

So i was in the hospital last week, but i've been feeling good for a few days now.
I kind of made a new friend. She was in my year at school, and i knew her and talked to her, but we were never friends. Now that our mutual friend Sharon has gone, we just kept talking on our on, and i was at her house with Booki two days ago, it was a really crazy night. You'll really laugh at me now.
We made margaritas (they weren't too great, but still) and we got out her video collection to find a movie, but we couldn't make up our minds, so we ended up watching "Passpot To Paris" starring the Olson twins you're allowed to make fun of me, but it was tons of fun i hadn't seen it since i was like 11.

Moving on..My friend Linoy is living on Sunday. She's not going to the army, but she's doing a year of like comunity service (not like in jail, i just don't know how to call it) in a place next to Jerusalem. That means far far away. she'll have a place to live there and all, but hopefully she'll be back every weekend. Also my friend Smadar is living on Sunday, she's going north for a year, also not to the army b/c she's not 18 yet, can't really explain what she'll be doing..but she'll be home once every two weeks.
I went out to luch with her yesterday, and then we went to the mall. I needed a gift for Daniel's Bday (this Friday) and also ended up getting a dress, a skirt and a top. I don't know my limits. We met her twin sister there, and hung with her, it was really weird, mostly b/c it was the day after i watched the olson twins. hahaha.

Friday is going to be really busy for me. My grandma is coming for the weekend (she lives far away) also, i must say goodbye to Linoy, and meet up with Lior (she's coming back for the first time!!). I've only talked to her like 3 times, and i miss her. And then there's Daniel's birthday, so i'll have to juggle beetwin that, and going out with Linoy and Lior, and the messy part being of course, that b/c Linoy is not talking to Booki, those two circels of friends cannot meet. Oh i'm going to be tired.

Last thing, but so not least!! I'm going to the MCcartney show with my cousin, and we'll be sitting in row 6. I really can't shut up sbout it, i think i even told that to one of the workers in the mall .

Ok that's it. bye everyone

Well, Lior left, we were all strong and smilled till she got on the bus, and then Linoy, her mom and me started crying like we'll never see her again.
And today i went to see Sharon off as well, it was the same drill, but this time i didn't cry, b/c she's going to be back here in Haifa in a month time, and will be living at home (so glad about that).

And now for some great news! I got the results of my Audrey paper from school. I got 96/100!!!!


My hard work totally paid off, and i'm so happy!

that's all i wanted to say..bye bye

OMG OMG Paul MCcartney is coming to Israel!!!!! yayyyyy oh what a dream come true! He's coming for one show on the 25th of September

More good news, i got a new Audrey book as a gift from friends of my parents "Audrey- a life in pictures" and i didn't have it already so another yay. They also got me a book on Bogart, from the series "Hollywood Icons", i have the one on Audrey already, so now i have 2. I also want the Grace and Maryiln.
And i bought a book called "movies of the 30's" i didn't really get a chance to read yet, but it looks cool.

I also forgot to mention, like a week ago i came home and my little sister (she's 9) was in the living room watching BAT! she had already seen "Charade" and FF, but it was with me, this time it was her choice. I was such a proud sister, i think she's a fan in the making

So, Lior is going to the army tomorrow, she's so bumbed. But i'm sure she'll have it easy, and it's a chance to meet new people and all..

We went together to see "get smart", it's really funny! and i watched the pilot of the show, it's also great.

So that was my update, this week most chances are that i won't be here, there's another treatment
But you all have a nice week, for all you who are going back to school soon, spend this week on doing everything you like!! bye!

Well, it's official- two of my best friends, Linoy and Booki are no longer talking to each other. They all had a fight back in July, Lior and Linoy were mad at Booki, but Lior is speaking to her. Linoy wouldn't take her calls, so Booki wrote her an email saying she's sorry and she misses her a lot. In return she got the longest email i've ever seen, saying that Linoy is no longer intrested in speaking to her, and that she had realized things b/c of the fight and that there realtionship had come to an end.
Booki was a mess after she got it. It was really evil. I mean, i love Linoy, and i've known her since i was 7, but that email couldn't be any more mean or condescending.

So it seems that now i'm in the middle of this forever. I really feel weird when i'm with Linoy and Lior when the'ye together, but when i'm just with one of them it's fine. I don't know why that is.
Anyway lately i feel like Booki is the one that i'm really comfortable with, i can say what ever i think, it's not like that with the other two, with them i feel like i have to be careful with my words..
I just can't believe i have to deal with these things, i have way bigger problems in life..
Lior is going to the army on Sunday, so i guess i'll really know what life are going to be like just after she's gone. why girls have to fight all the time?it sucks! And us 4 were never like that till now..

Even with all that mess on my head this week had acually been nice. I was in a beer festival, watched MAMA MIA for the 2ed time, did some shopping and started painting again. Oh and i'm making a hat with a cartoon of Audrey from BAT. I'll show you once it's done (if it comes out nice).
In other Audrey news, i was at my friend Sharon's grandmother's house, and she had a huge collection of LIFE from the 50's. I've found this photo of Audrey i've never seen, i took a pic with my phone:

i think it's a darling pic!

well, hope your friends never rurn on each other like mine!
bye!

Well, treatments started again so i spent this week mostly in bed, but now i feel better (hans the blogging).

I don't have much to write, but i wanted to tell you that today is the Jewish love day (it's a kind of valentine's day) and i just wanted to wish you all a happy day, full of love Oh by the way, it's called "too be av" (it just means 15 of the hebrew month Av).

Apart from that, my very good friend Jonathan started the army on Monday. It's really bad, when the girls go it's fine, it's not hard or something (for most of them), but when the boys go all i can think about is the boot camp in "Full Metal Jacket" (Brian sure know's what i'm on about!). So i'm sad for them, and hope it's not really like it is the movies (tho i'm 99% sure it is).damn.

Oh, i started getting money from the government b/c i'm sick. So now my bank account will fill itself magically every month for the next TWO YEARS . It's really a lot of money for me, since i live at home and have no rent and bills. I'm going to save for a vespa, shouldn't take too long. Now i've got to think of a colour.

That's about everything. Hope your all well!!
happy "too be av"!

Hi everyone! I really felt like blogging suddenly, so that's what i'm doing.

This vacation i had is coming to an end, tomorrow or the day after that, but i had the chance to meet a lot of friends i haven't seen in a long time and got to go out a lot.
Apart from all of those things it wasn't so great. See, i have 3 best friends, and two of them had a fight with the 3ed one just as i finished treatments. In the the time that gone by since things hasn't been the same. one of the two met the 3ed one, and everything seemed to be fine, but they haven't talked since, and the other just went into this silent treatment. It's really immature and stupid. But it's not the only thing wrong with the two (Lior and Linoy). Ever since finishing high school in June they started acting like wild party girls. They were never like that before. Getting drunk a lot, going clubing and making out with boys they just met. It's really not like them. I feel so weird when i'm with them. it's like i'm not apart of who they are anymore. With me they act like they used to, but then we don't have a lot to say to each other, and i feel so distant from the girls i've known for 12 years now.
The weird thing is that now i feel happiest with other people. My 3ed friend Hadas (booki) is still very close to me, but other then that i meet people that were never that close to me, and they are fun and real with me. And that makes me even more sad, b/c i don't want to let go, i can't. I can't picture my life without them. They're not talking to Booki b/c there mad, but they've nothing against me (quite opposite) and we still run out of things to say! that's even worse. When ever i'm alone i get so sad b/c of all that, and time is running out before they go to the army, i'm afraid will loose touch..

Eveyone started going already! my friend Tal goes tomorrow, i hope he'll come home every weekend, but there's no way of knowing yet..I'll miss him so!

Well, i'll end on a happier tone. I went to see Batman twice in the past two weeks. It's just so good! not just another super hero movie, it's much more! i also saw "wall e" with my family and enjoyed it quite a bit. Yesterday i saw "mama mia" with my friend Smadar, it was sooo funny!!! I almost never enjoy new movies as much as i did this summer. I'm much more into classics, but those were great.

Well, that really hepled me get things of my chest, i forgot how much i liked blogging!

bye everyone!

Hey guys!! i miss talking to you all so much! The good news is that after next week i'll get about a month off so i can be on a1 more.yay.

I am doing fine i guess, it ain't easy, but i hang in there.
MY graduation ceremony and the after party (kind of prom) will be on Monday, so i can't go. However, i did get to go to another graduation event at school last week, i got a kind of honer-student thing (along with many others i might say) and we also got our yearbooks that day. I'm in it way more then i thought i would be, and i also look good in all the pics except one, so i'm happy.

Ok and now for the big news, and you should be sitting down for this one (haha i guess you are).
I bought on ebay a necklace that used to belong to.............AUDREY!!!! yes! can you believe it? it's really genuine!
At first i was sure it cannot be real (it's just the way i am) but i did a background check on the man selling it (searched the web and all) and he's a hollywood historian, and knows lots of people in all the studios (that's how he gets the memorabilia). He also wrote a book about jayne mansfield's life..

So i took a few pics to show you guys, but i must say, in person it is way more pretty then the pics.

I'm on the top of the world, i have something Audrey owned. It's like a piece of paradise

I just got the card you all made me. It was so nice, it brought tears to my eyes!
You guys are the best, really. I feel better when ever i get to talk to any of you.
BTW it's my background now




Just to let you know, i finished step 1 of the chemo this week, and my doctors are quite happy with the results. I now have about a week and then i'll start step 2. It's also a hard one, takes about a month, but after that it's supposed to be easier..

hugs and kisses to all of you!

I'm sorry to tell you this will be my last post, at least for a while. You probably have noticed that i haven't been around lately.
Well, i have bad news, and i'm telling you not b/c i want to get you upset (i really really don't) but b/c i think you need to know, and i have come to see you all as my friends. Remember when i said i was sick? well i was hospitalized since, and the doctors found that i have Leukemia. It is considered one of the most curable cancers there is, and i have one that the doctors are saying that i'm going to win over, b/c i'm young and mostly healthy (till this).
I have already started Chemotherapy and it is very weakening, and hard, so i'm not going to keep posting regularly, just maybe once in a while or so. I will, however keep checking the forum (i love it of course, and i have to pass the time).

I'm sorry to tell you all of this on Audrey's birthday, but the good news is that this day, is also the day i was discharged from the hospital, so she did bring me luck after all.

Please don't be too sad, and if you questions your welcome to PM me, and i will answer in my own time.
bye bye

I wanted to update a few days ago, but somehow i didn't get to it .

So i went with my friends to Tel Aviv and it was pretty awesome, the t market thing was very cool (tho so crowded!). I bought a few items but my high light is a shirt with a logo of this store in Jerusalem,coincidently this store is located at a street that has my last name (Shats) and so the logo has my family name written in a very cool way on a shirt . They were also like super happy to hear it was my last name (i guess it's not that common) and they gave me a discount .

I'm afraid that after that day things started going bad for me..
First on the train home i lost my mobile, and it made so mad! I left my details in the train station, but i think there's no way it's coming back, so i called the company and froze the line so that it cannot be used. Oh all my pics and ringtons .

The next day i was left alone at home for the weekend, and i was supposed to start studying for my test in bible. For some reason i couldn't focus at all (i thought it was b/c it's soooo boring), but then i noticed that the world was like spinning around me and that i'm burning. So i took my temperature and i had a high fever (not hospital high, but high enough). Just when i'm alone, oh the joy. So i had to make myself food and all with a fever which sucked (i'm really so not ready for real life yet).
Ever since my fever has been going up and down. .

Anyway, of course i wasn't able to study (tho i tried for a long time) i finally called my teacher and told him i will have to do the test on the 2ed date. He said that's ok, but told that it's not going to be a good date, since May is going to be a very full months. But i have no choice.

All my finals are coming soon, my first is psychology on the 19th and that's too soon for me! The only subjects that we still have to continue studying are History, Bible and Sociology b/c we have yet to finish all the material.boo hoo.

Oh and on Tuesday i have my running test in PE, i'm running 2000 meters, which is 1.2430081 miles (i used a calculator, not a pretty number). So wish me luck! (i'm sure hope i'll be better by then since it's the last date for it, i missed the first one b/c of year book things).

hope your all better then me!

Oh my god it's the hottest day ever!!! i went out for work in the morning, and there is no chance i'm going out there again, it's living hell!

We had some plans for tomorrow in Tel Aviv to go to the flee market before the other thing, and well, i cancelled it, i'm not going anywhere that doesn't have air conditioning .

I just was sitting in front of the TV and this documentary came on titled "All The President's Movies". It was about the cinema and films the different presidents of the US liked, and why and how it affected them. I won't bore you with the details (tho it wasn't to heavy, and interesting enough).
My highlight was when in the end they listed the top ten most watched movies in the white house theatre. Sabrina was ranked 6th, and RH was ranked 4th. YAY. No other actor or actress (that i know of) were repeated in that list but Audrey and Bogart (Casablanca was also up there). They also mentioned in the beginning that Audrey was JFK's fav actress (no words about a rumoured affair between them, tho they did say that about Marilyn).
The first place, if your wondering, went to "High Noon" with Gary Cooper.

I decided to list (like Rachela) some top ten's on my blog.

This is my top ten favourite 90's movies:

1. Thelma & Louise (1991).
It's one movie that i can say that changed me. I can't really say how, but the whole feminist- human- and freedom state of mind in this movie was something that i didn't really feel i had in me before i saw it (when i was 14 or 15).

2. Notting Hill (1999)
I know every line to this movie since i was 9. It's so good! funny, smart & romantic (also in London which rocks).

3.Clueless (1995)
One of the best teen comedies ever! I can watch it every time it's on TV. I also know every line to this movie.

4. Pretty Woman (1990)
What a great film to start of the 90's with! It's as old as i am, and getting better as it gets older (like me?lol). Every once in a while when i see it, i get a joke that i didn't notice before.

5. Titanic (1997)
I grew up on this film. Also the first movie i so in English in the theatre (i was finally old enough to read sub). My friends and I used to try and stand on our toes like Rose

6. Pulp Fiction (1994)
The reason why i love Tarantino. Awesome film, nothing more to add!


7.Aladdin (1992)
I know it's a cartoon, but i think it's one of the best ever. great cast, great songs and funny script. Disney rules!

8. Armageddon (1998)
I cry every time Liv puts her hand on the TV screen at NASA. What a movie!

9. Girl, Interrupted (1999)
Awesome film. Very powerful, it really makes me think. Also the only time i liked Angelina in a film.

10. Dogma (1999)
Oh such a funny movie! I love when funny films also have a massage in them (if you haven't seen it, then it's don't let religion drive you mad, or something like that). Every joke there (except like one that is disgusting) is right on!

I would have had pics, but the blog is not letting me upload! damn..

bye bye!

So, i finally saw JUNO. yay! It's really good and the music is so cute.

Other then that, i've been working and really did nothing else. Tomorrow i have to work as well, but then on Thursday i'm going to Tel Aviv to do some shopping (i have nothing to wear this summer!!). There is this "T-MARKET" thing there, it's the everyday collections for summer of many designers in Israel and it has a big discount on it. And that's great b/c without a discount they'd be way over my budget . It's in this night club, and during the "market" there will be all kinds of band playing, so i'm looking forward to it.

Oh i just realized i only have till Saturday and then it's back to school for me! and i have this huge test in bible, holly crap! (literally ).

ok so i'll do some questions that i've found online (feel free to copy, i like it when that happens)

1.How many keys are on your key ring?
just the one, with the letter "A" on it and a cute bunny.

2.Do you know what your name means?
yes, it means female baby dear (like Bambi's friend) and it was taken from my mom's fav poem.

3.what colour fingernail polish do you prefer?
Usually with no colour, just bright, but now they are pink.

4.Do you kiss on the first date? - Of course, Not usually, Depends,
Depends

5.You're stuck in an airport, what paper/magazine do you read?
From my last 2 experiences, anything fashion or gossip.

6.What is your favorite breakfast cereal?
regular with no sugar

7.If there was an extra hour in the day, what would you spend it doing?
watching another movie, or painting

8.When you find a spider in your house you-
scream to daddy for help

9.Do you sing in the shower?
yes all the time!

hope you week is going well! bye

I had a great weekend! i forgot what it's like to have a life...

On Friday i went to this music thing, i won't get into what it is, but it's a fun event, and good music. After that i went to a pub with friends, and their friends that i didn't know. It was kinda boring near the end, but still, a good night.

The next day i woke up at 1 pm (oh the joy of holidays) and watched "Adam's Rib" and "Singing In The Rain". B/c i woke up so late there wasn't anything left for me to do as far as cooking goes, so i only enjoyed the food, and didn't make any of it!
The passover eve dinner was great, i ate too much and drunk wine, and we sang and did all of the holiday stuff. Also my cousin who studies medicine in the south came, and i haven't seen her for a long time..

Today (Sunday) and i should say yesterday since it's well after midnight, we went to my grandpa for a festive lunch and we ended up staying till 6..
Then i went with Lior,Linoy and Booki to watch the movie "21". I really liked it, it's very smart and not at all boring (as i feared it would be). I also have this huge crush on the guy in the lead role (he played in "across the universe"). He's not the prettiest guy, or the hottest, but he's got this sex-appeal to him, i can't explain it.

Well anyway, that's my weekend for ya. Now i've got to work for 3 days (but all my afternoons and evenings are free). I got tivo now, and i have already recorded like 7 films from TCM , and also on another channel it's Hitchcock week, and so i have a lot to watch

well, have a nice week everyone

Hey everyone! I'm finally on vacation from now till the 26th, and it's about time too!

I had the most stressful week, i had a sociology test about all the material since 11th grade, i had the art show and the oral test in art. Also i'm in charge of the yearbook (only of my home-room class) and we had to give everything to the printer by yesterday, so i had tons of work.

I got in to this terrible mess with my art teacher, remember her? the one that said Audrey was anorectic? well she's not what you'd call a good teacher. Her grades are not really objective, she can separate emotions from work, and you can't always argue b/c it's art.
Anyway, she gave me 50% of my final grade (the other 50 is from an outside tester) and at first she gave me 88. I was really mad b/c i know i worked very hard and deserved more, and finally she raised it to 92, which did not make me too happy, but what ever. So then i did the test and there was the opening have and all was great and i went home happy (after being in school from 8am to 7pm!).
The next day i got a call from her, and she was saying she was really hurt b/c i went and told everybody that she raised my grade, and that other students came angry to her b/c she would not do it for them. She had this nasty tone and she was all like "take it from an older woman, when someone does something for you, you should repay them by acting right". and i didn't do nothing!! I only told my two good friends, and anyway she didn't tell me it's a secret. So i felt bad, and my mom was pissed off b/c she called me home to say those things. But it wasn't the end! The next day i was standing in the hole way, and i saw her, and before she could see me i went aside to avoid her, but i could hear her talking about me behind my back saying how wring i was!! and apparently she called another student too!
So my mom is going to talk to her and to my home room teacher after the holiday, plus as a class we might go to the headmaster and complain about her, b/c she did a whole bunch of stuff to other people. She's a psycho.

But now it's a holiday, and i don't want to think about it anymore! Yesterday i went with Booki to the beach, but it's still too cold to swim so we drank milkshakes and it was great, very summery. Then at the evening i went to this gallery opening, 2 friends of mine were in this thing they were doing there, painting on the wall in front of all the guests. It was really full of old boring people in suits, but the food was great. After that i hung out with some friends i haven't talk to in a while.
Today i'm going out again, and tomorrow is passover eve, so were going to my grandpa for dinner (and will eat too much for sure) i can't wait i love this holiday, then on Sunday i think were hosting lunch here. My parents are in this crazy cooking mood since this morning.

wow that was long!! well the site is not letting me post pics! i'll try again later or tomorrow.

hey! well one hard week done, i have to go through another and then i'll have passover holiday (can't wait!!). Although the vacation was shorten this year b/c of the strike we had, it's still something.

This week was so busy i only got home everyday at the evening! We were so busy with the art show (it's finally ready, more about it later) and also i had my almost final test in psychology. It was about ALL the material from the last 2 years!! it was very hard so i prey i did ok..now were done studying and ew have the national (and final) exam sometime in May.

Oh i got a chance to see "i'm not there" this week. It was amazing.Cate Blanchett was just so great, at some points i felt she was a man! And seeing heath ledger was sad .

I also saw "birth of a nation". I don't know if you've heard of it, it's one of the most important films in history. It's silent and from 1915 (!!). It's it is meaningful to cinema history b/c of the directing, editing and special effects (that were excellent considering). But the big prob with the film is it's subject, which is the KKK, and they are presented in a really good way, as the heroes of the country and such. So as you can guess it is really racist. That was hard to watch, but still the movie itself was great, and it was the fist silent film i saw that was not Charlie Chaplin (i want to see more).

Well back to school matters. On monday we have a tester coming and she'll view each of our art projects, ask questions and also review our work in the last two years that is not related to the project itself. She'll give us our grade that will be 50% of my final grade in art (so hold your fingers crossed that i'll do good!).
Then in the evening it's the opening of the art show, with all the families and friends coming. So it's going to be a longgg day.

Other then that next week i have my semi-final exam in sociology, and i hadn't begun to study, which is a big problem..well what can i do..

My weekend is pretty boring, saw some friends yesterday, went to work and to see grandpa today, and that's about it.. hope your having a good weekend!

bye!

....i'm still alive, just too damn busy, i didn't even have time to read the forum in the last 4 days or so.. it's not going to improve till Friday, but then hopefully i'll get a chance to read all the blogs and posts...

Brian, if you read this, i hope you had a great time!! And all of the others, hope your having a good week!

got to run, bye

Thanks for your advice on the music, but i saw it only after i chose the music. I took "smile" from "modern times" (listen to it it's great!). Marina picked it, and it fits great.

So not a lot happening here, tomorrow i might go to this gig, i haven't decided yet. There is this sense that things had calmed down a bit, but i know it's a false feeling (i found out i also have an English test next week).

Today is my sister's bday. In the morning we stoked up presents on a chair by her bed so that will be the first thing she'll see. My mother bought her tons of stuff so i didn't have to buy anything. She was really happy (you know how kids get on there bday).

I'm done painting and editing, and tomorrow we'll start putting everything up (which means i'll be at school on a Friday and that sucks- it's like your Saturday). I hope i get a good place in the show tho.

I have this weird feeling, i have never presented paintings that looked so un-perfect and not realistic on a show, it's s big development for me as an "artist" -believe it or not, it is much harder to do paintings like that- but i'm not sure how a crowd that doesn't understand art will take it. There are so many "pretty" projects all around, colorful and all, and maybe mine will be skipped. It doesn't really matter of course, they don't give me the grade, but still it's a strange feeling. Maybe the video art will attract people..

Ok i'll stop waining about it.
Today we saw some production of the theater class at school. It was there final test (like the art show will be for me) and it was really great. There were 3 plays, and two were dramas and one a comedy. They actually made me laugh and even almost cry, there some great talents among them (and it came as a surprise since i know all of them and most seem like shallow and even stupid people in everyday life).

And on to another topic. On Saturday i met up with my friend Jonathan b/c he helped me with my video. He doesn't go to my school, but i know him for just about whole my life b/c our parents are good friends. I haven't seen him for a while, but since i saw he him i really think about him all the time.

So here is the deal about us: we have been just friends for years, but then on some vacation we kissed, but then nothing happened, and it happened like two more times after that (and lots of time between) and it never became anything, i don't think i wanted it to ether. This summer we decided we'll be plain friends, and since we talk very often and do things some time (he lives like 20 minutes out of town so not everyday things) and it's been great.
But now i started thinking if maybe we can be a couple, we have a lot in common, and there are very few guys i think are that nice.. I don't know, i'm all mixed up about it. I just needed to share...

ok enough said..
bye bye

So here's a little update, hopefully it won't be the only one this week.
Today was pretty funny at school, we did another senior thing over the big break. We did a beauty pageant, but the contestants were guys dressed in girl's clothes it was so funny, they had a few rounds and all. Just the beading suit was a bit disturbing (they did wear skirts and not bikini bottoms thankfully). That was the high light of the day. Oh and Lior past her driving test!i'm so happy for her! I'm waiting for another test to come, but my teacher has lots of students so the line is long..meanwhile i almost always have a ride, so i'm fine..(basically i won't have a car anyway b/c i'm going to the army soon so why bother..). Oh and speaking of cars, my parents are thinking of getting a new one..i don't know which tho.

Tomorrow i'm going to edit my video, and i haven't decided on what music i want. It has to be something very old, almost silent-film music like. I was searching ragtime and blues for a long time on youtube, but didn't find the right one yet...

Other then that, my job on Saturday was great, it was nice working with the kids, they were very sweet (most of them) and the guide i work with was also great. I'm happy i found this job, it's once, maybe twice a week and it pays nice, just what i need.

This semester were going to have it really hard (as if it wasn't hard enough!). Remember when i told you about how our grading system works? anyway, we have two finals in every subject: one that the school gives us and one that is national (and the grade splits 50-50 basically). So all the "in school" test are starting, b/c our year is only till may 30th.

So this week and next week i have to finish and hang my art project (that is still nameless) and on the 11th i have a final in psychology. On the 14th we have the art exam (and it's the very final one), and on the 16th i have sociology.
After that we have passover coming so there will be a few days off (and i'll probably have to spend them on the sociology paper) and then all the rest thro may. "YAY" i can't wait! i just keep telling myself it's the end of school forever and that cheers me up a bit.

Last but so not least, my sis will turn 9 on Thursday. I have no idea what to get her, nor the time. But i'll think of something. Also a b-day means cake. yum.

I hope your all having better weeks then me, or at least calmer. I'm sorry if i don't comment on your blogs, be sure i read them when i can, just don't really have the time and energy to comment.

yours,
a very busy senior!

Well i should be doing things for my aret project, but i'm blogging anyway..

So i decided not to go to the party, but not b/c of work tomorrow, i just didn't feel like going to a party (i feel like a nerd saying that, but what can i do).

Tomorrow im going to shoot this small video-art clip for my art project. I'm going to "star" in it and direct it, and my friend Jonathan will be filming. My art project is due on the 8th i think, we have the oral test about it on the 14th but we'll hang the projects way before.

My project revolves around this sailor dress i have from way back (when i was 3).i started by painting myself wearing it from a pic that i have, and then i painted myself inside of scenes in movies that that had sailor suits (like in the sound of music when the children stand in a row and such).Then i painted only the dress and not me on characters in different films (so now dress=me in this project). I ended up with a series of b&w paintings very unfinished looking, very un realistic of scenes from old movies that i like with the dress. and now i'm doing the video art. Hopefully it'll be good.

So i bored you with that enough. I think i'll copy Rachela and Amy and do that quiz, b/c it was fun to read, so it must be fun to do. here goes:

Have you ever smoked? yes (but i hated it)
Made yourself throw up:no

Broken a bone: no
Played truth or dare: yes
Been in a police car:no

Cried in school: all the time (i cry when i laugh sometimes, so i cry a lot)
Fell off your chair: yes
Ever had a celebrity crush: of course
What's your room like: a bit messy at times, and becoming an Audrey temple.
Shampoo you use: you wouldn't know it.
Brand of make up you wear: i like Revlon and Este Louder

have a nice weekend!

It's been a few days since i've written anything..i'm really busy at the moment so not much time for A1
I have a few tests coming up, i did history today. Also on the 14th we have our art projects seen buy a tester (she's an artist) and we have to hang everything in the show room by the 10th, and i'm no way near done!
On Saturday i'm starting a new job at another museum (all thanks to my art history teacher) and i'm going to be working in these special tour for kids. So i've got tons to do..

I'm in this dilemma. On Friday night there is a bday party for two girls from my class in this club. I want to go, but i have to work the next morning, and usually our parties last till very late (or very early it depends on how you look at it:wink:) should i go? it's been so long since i went out somewhere that is not a friends house, the stupid mall or a pub (i feel so boring!) tell me your thoughts!

I got my "gardens of the world" copy this week, but i haven't any time, i only watched 2 episode (they are 20 min each). Audrey is so lovely in them, i can really feel her love of nature. It's not usually my kind of program to watch but with Audrey and all, it's really interesting. can't wait to see the special features .

I'm babysitting tonight, so i must go now. I hope i'll have more time to update, i haven't told you anything really...

bye bye

suckish weekend, i was at my family's in another city for this dinner (a week since my grandpa died) and i missed a gig i really wanted to go to on Friday. Everything for the family right?

I got a good thing out of it tho, my aunt who's a bible teacher prepared me for the test i have tomorrow. My mom and sister stayed there for another day, they both have another day of holiday but i must go back to school b/c of the silly strike we had.

i have a few pics to upload, not a lot tho, b/c only Booki sent me pics so far.

that's me, but it's a bit blurry..

Lior and Booki as a bank robber and "the green fairy" (it's not real alcohol in her hands!)

the costume i was telling you about in the last entry. The one with the cow and the one with the black are friends of mine, the others i don't really know..

more pics to come!

i saw my grades for the end of the term on the computer just now, so i'll share:

art-81 (i'm not happy about it)
art history- 89
English- 82 (i could have done better if i did my homework more often )
history- 98 oh the joy
PE- 80
Sociology- 94
literature-94
psychology- 98 (she could have given me a 100 but oh well)
bible- 70

my average is 87.3 which is not bad, but last semester i had 90 so it's a drop for me..

Were having this bad hot wave for a few days now and it's suppose to go on till Monday. I can't stand it, it feels like July all of the sudden, and just last week it was raining and cold... were all in shorts, and it's the first time i'm happy that i have swimming in PE, i'll have a chance to cool in the middle of the school day!
weather can be so crazy in the spring, i bet in two weeks it'll be cold again!

oh well, good night everyone and have a good Ester!

I really have no time this week (not that i think i will have more time next week) but i has to update the blog!

I feel a lot better, and thanks to all of you, your comments really cheered me up.

I found out a really weird thing, the day my grandpa passed away, is also the date that Booki, Lior and Smadar (my friends) lost their grandpa! how weird!

My guest Hike is here for two days now, but she's traveling every day, so i don't see her that much. She's a really nice girl, just like i remembered. This year she's not in the delegation like last year, she's an assistant to the guides, and also the only one who's been to Israel before.
And get this, she'll come in the summer again, and spend six months volunteering somewhere (she'll be done with high school by then) really she's a special girl.

Today is the day we went to school dressed up in our costumes. It was supposed to be tomorrow but the ministry of education changed it last week, i don't know why, and so we had a celebration today, and tomorrow is a normal school day, how weird! The vacation is only two days, and guess what, it's on Friday and Saturday, when we don't go to school anyway .
Anyway, my costume came out really cute, i put star stickers on my high heels and also on my belt, and it looked as if i bought them that way. As for my friends, Booki went as the green fairy of absent (you might recall her from Moulin Rouge or Eurotrip) and she had a bottle of absent that she filed with a green soda beverage, and all the teachers thought it was real . Linoy went as queen Aster, she's one of the characters in the story of this holiday, and Lior was an old school bank robber.

Do you know the famous poster that has girls sitting with their back to the camera and the albums of Pink Floyd are painted on their backs? here's a link:http://members.aol.com/charlessibz/zips/pink-floyd-backs-5000178.jpg
It's very famous here, and 6 girls from my year made that poster come to life. They weren't naked tho, they had this skin colored fabric around them, and only their backs were visible, and they painted the albums so nice!! they also won the costume competition.
Another great costume were the "A team" that was awesome, they even had this tape playing the opening song.

I was sad that Hike wasn't their, b/c the date changed in the last minute they couldn't cancel their trip. They went to Jerusalem today (their not back yet) which means they also went to the big Holocaust museum, poor people, to go there on a holiday is terrible!

I'm so sorry that i haven't posted pics yet! now i also have to show today's costume pics! i hope i can do it soon, i have tons to do tho!

My grandpa passed away yesterday morning, and today was the funeral...many people came to pay him a last respect.

My aunt took it the hardest, she just can't stop crying, today was also her birthday.

All of this side of the family live about two hours drive south of us, so my mom is staying there with my grandma. I have no idea how am i going to host my German friend in this current situation, with my mom gone and all, but i can't cancel, i hope those two days will just pass by fast..

well i just wanted to let you know. bye bye

I knew all of you will tell me to dress as Audrey, that was my plan but i haven't the time to find a dress and all, and if i go as Audrey everything must be perfect!!

Yesterday i had some classes that got cancelled so Linoy and I just skipped the whole day (no one really cares now that were in the end of senior year-only until May woo hoo-so that's ok) and we went costume shopping.

Finally we decided to do this retro thing, we'll were costumes that kinder garden children usually wear!
I don't know if it's like that where you live, but when i was little all i wanted to be was queen of this and princess of that. This year i'm going as queen of stars and night (it's very common- i was that queen in ages 3 and 5 and loved it!) i bought this small tiara, a metalic-plastic star shaped necklace and earrings and a wand. I need a dress, i saw one i liked (that sparkled) but it costs to much for a costume.

Linoy is going as queen Ester (the story of this holiday is about her, only 3 year olds go as her) and she found a great dress.

what can i say it was way better then english class...

Today we had a special activity at school, lectures came to school and did a two hour session about something. I chose this kinda-famous Israeli musician (everyone knows his name, but no one admires him. He's pretty good tho) he talked about the process of song writing, and played a few songs. He's a huge fan of the Beatles and even has a song about the day John died, and he talked about them quite a bit (which made me happy) and sang "imagine" and "strawberry fields forever" (which made me happier). It was really interesting.

Nothing really exciting aside from that happened, today i was supposed to go with some friends to a pub to celebrate some girl's bday, but she's sick so it got cancelled

ok so i promise over the weekend i'll load some pics here, and give you a link to Flickr!

bye bye

Well really i came back on Sunday, but i've been really busy so i only have a chance to write now..i hope all of you had a great week and all, i didn't get a chance to read the blogs (but i will).

I had THE best time!! i went to all the places i wanted to go to, and even got a chance to get to other places that weren't on my list (like via maragutta 51!!!!). piazza Nevona was under construction, but i got to see some of it, and well all the famous sites really...


Our hotel was right in the middle of the city and we were in walking distance of everything which was great!
and omg i have never ever ate so many ice creams in such a short time, or had so much coffee it is just soooo good!
of course the pizza and pasta are also great, but the ice cream was the best part for me. And as i promised MARINA i ate pistachio and thought of you!

I bought some Audrey stuff, this little wallet in pink with her from BAT on it, and a 2009 calender of "vacanza romana", they only sell next year's calenders now. and also a big still photo from FF from a stand that had many rare pics, even one's fron GIGI and even the 40's. i wish i had so much Audrey merchandise where i live.. my mom had to stop me or i would buy more! i also wanted an Audrey bag but the one's i saw where really ugly and pricey..
oh and another thing i bought was was Italian Vogue! (i'm sure most of you know what a myths that Vogue is, it's the best one) here it costs a lot of money, but there it only cost 5 euro! yay it was such a joy.

The day we went to the Vatican it was raining non-stop and we stood in line in the cold for over an hour and a half! but boy was it worth it!! that place is amazing!!!! being an art major i really felt like crying, i couldn't believe i'm seeing all those art works with my own eyes it was incredible.
ok so ill tell you more when ill put pics on (very soon i hope) right now i can't think of more..

Oh i got some good news, on monday this girl i met in the summer in Germany is coming to Israel for two weeks and i will host her for two days. I'm really excited to see her, she's such a sweet girl! i miss her very much!!

Now, i need your advices. we have this holiday coming up next week, it's a sort of Halloween, and everyone dress up. i have no time to make a costume since i have a paper a test and my art project, so i need an idea for something easy to do (and not all those angel/devil things) so if you have an idea i will love to hear it..

sorry this enrty was so un-organized i just wrote what came to mind without thinking!

good night/day everyone!

In the morning i'm living!! yayyy i can't wait!! Still not done packing tho...

My friend Tal got me a late be day gift, he ordered it from some where and it took a while, but it's a great gift!! It's an Audrey tank top with a pic of her from Sabrina. I was sooooo happy, it's my first Audrey shirt i almost choked him when i hugged him to say thanks!!

I got back my English and Bible studies test results. In English i got 87 which is good, but i messed up the other exam, i got only 70

My paper was printed today, it is 70 pages long!!! i could not believe my eyes, it's a book! Tomorrow my dad will hand it in (guess where i will be )

I really just wanted to say goodbye, but i always write more then i want!
So yeah have a great rest of the week, i'll just be gone for a few days (i wish it was more, but i haven't the time). I can't wait to get there it's such a dream come true for me! unfortunately the weather cast is rain...oh well rain or no rain i'm still going to every place on my list!!
Ill take pics i promise!!

goodbye!

Today at school all the seniors dressed like the religions people we met over the weekend, i wore a pencil skirt (the longest skirt i got) and so did all the girls, and the guys wore yarmulkes (look it up if you don't know it) and at the big recess we all went to the middle of the school where every floor can look at us and we started dancing and singing religious songs. It was super funny and everyone looked at us and laughed and we did it for like 20 minutes, we couldn't get enough! it was one of the funniest things we did as seniors so far, but there is more to come!!

I don't have a lot to tell really, aside from that i got positive feedback from my teacher at art class, i'm now doing a new thing now. I took a pic of myself at around 4 years old dressed in a sailor dress (how very 1900's) and i looked up pics from movies of kids (and who ever) dressed like that, and put myself instead of the star in the pic. So far i did Shirley Temple ("Capitan January") and Audrey in GIGI (my old avatar) i know it's not a movie, but no one knows. I'll do "Fanny and Alexander" next..

I spent the day studying sociology, i have a test tomorrow, but i still know nothing. Oh well, que sera sera...

My grandpa (the one who's not in the hospital) went a little crazy and gave my dad tons of money to give me for Rome, there's no way i can spend all that unless ill buy some Chanel dresses (yeah right). I'm going to get him some good whiskey from the Duty-Free

Well, have a great week, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brian!!!

I came back early from the seminar, i didn't feel good.I think it's all the pressure and lack of sleep getting to me, so i spent most of Friday (day and night) sleeping and that helped me a lot! Though they did get me annoying really fast when i was there. All those girls seem really nice at first, kind and sweet but when you realize what they are really thinking, that's horrible. They think that b/c were not religious too then we got bad education and that we don't have values and all that, and that all we do is go clubbing and get tattooed, they really do! And they also hate gays and have really old fashioned ideas about how the world should be.

I knew all that before, but seeing it is very annoying, especially b/c they really seem like smart girls with tons of potential. Also they all have the same opinion about everything, b/c of all the rules and things they have, while each and every one of us had a different opinion on every subject.

It was interesting tho, i can't wait to hear what happened yesterday and today.

My weekend is pretty boring, went to a Bar Mitzva today (or as Brian said: a young Jewish boy becomes a man ) we skipped the temple part tho (i had enough of religion!) and went to the festive lunch. He's just a 2ed cousin, so all his family didn't see me for a few years, and only knew who i was when i was standing next to my parents. lol.

There was this one boy (about 6) that kept following my dad and my sis, so they asked him who he was and all, and it turned out that he's a huge fan of the children book my dad wrote about my sister (my dad is a writer/ book critic and such) that was so cute, that kid is like a fan of my sister's (she's the star of the book, my dad didn't write a book about me tho ).

anyways, i'm going to get the complete DVD of "gardens of the world with Audrey Hepburn" on ebay and i'm really happy about that.

Off to see American Idol! xoxo

It was so hot today you'd think it's April already! i felt like going to the beach, but that's not possible (the water must be colllld) and i had to study.

I had one part of my English test (the written one) it's the part i can't study for- a composition and an unseen. It went well i think. The composition was to describe my ideal vacation, and i'm up to my ears with tour books of Rome so i just wrote about that. And yes i mentioned RH

Tomorrow i'm doing grammar and something about a song we learned.

So 2 days ago i had this panic attack b/c my guide on the paper told me that the last chapter wasn't good. i cried after he told me that, b/c i had no time, and i really panicked . I pulled an all-nigher and finished it, then he read it and told me it was great. I think i should do everything at 2 am, i'm the sharpest at those hours.
I was going to hand it in today, but the woman in charge of all the papers told me i can also give it on Sunday, so i decided i will have time to read it and look for mistakes. I'm really proud tho, it's the hardest thing i've ever done for school, my mother told me it is in the level of a college paper and she should know, she works at a uni.

Other then that, tomorrow were going to that seminar, and i'm really sad about it, i haven't the time or power to do it. I have a test on Monday and the 1st chapter of my sociology paper to hand in (works never ends) but no one at my school seems to care. It also means i still can't go see JUNO, b/c it's thro the weekend, and this movie has been in the cinema for a long time, it's run is going to end soon and i really want to see it:(
i can't wait to finish school!!! i only have till June, not to long!

My friend, who i told you came out this month (to me at least) broke up with his boyfriend He is really depressed now... I tried to cheer him up, but it does not seem to work, only time will do that...

7 days until i'm going to Rome!!!

Just wanted to share my happiness, i got a 100 in my oral English test (the 2ed one) and also a 100 in psychology!! i thought i was going to fail. YAY

oh, the Israeli movie didn't win the oscar, oh well i hear that other movie is good, i should see it sometime..

the count down continues, i have 3 days till my paper is due. And my guide told me to basically rewrite the whole last chapter . So that's what i'm doing now (right after this short update). I was in a meeting with him today and he was telling me what was wrong, and then he felt bad i guess, so he told me about thing that are good. So i said, live that alone, i need to know to re write, so he said:"well sometimes you've got that Hepburn look in your eyes and i can't seem to be able to tell you bad things" that is such a great compliment!!

anyway, the worst part is that i have a test tomorrow in art history, which i guess i'm going to fail since i must rewrite now..
yep life is beautiful...

My grandpa is stable but cannot function, my parents went to the hospital yesterday, but i didn't go since i had tons of things to do, and my mom kept telling me to stay (my guess is she doesn't want me to see him like he is now). We don't know if my mom will join us in Rome b/c of that. i really hope she will tho, i want her to have fun too, and she's been there before and would not get lost like i think Linoy and i will.

On Thursday were going to this seminar called (in a very lame translate) "bridge" and we'll meet religious people our age and talk about the differences and what ever. I'm so not up to it. It's going to take over the whole weekend, since it's Thu-Sat, and also the guys and girls are separated! i couldn't believe it, our school separating us? even the bathrooms in the school are unisex!(not everywhere but in some places). It's going to be lamo without like half my friends.. they are going to a place up north and were going south. I got so annoyed by that!

well must do some rewrites!!

I don't really have time for blogging,but i need to write. It has been a few hard days of work. I can't keep up with the pressure at school now, b/c they have so many after school activities,so that i don't have time to do my work.

I had my second oral test in English today (the one that will set my final grade). It went well, i talk a lot about Audrey,which is a good topic for me to go on and on about (just like all of you).

Anyway, i am very sad b/c my grand father is at the hospital,he can't breath on his own and is connected to machines. It seems like a matter of time until he dies. He is very old and had been sick for a long time. I'm very sad about it, but mostly i have a lot of guilt. I've never been very connected to him, he lives far,and as i said been sick,so i don't really know him.I think he has been suffering for quite a while now.
Most of my sadness is towards my mom,aunt and grand mother, b/c they are the closest to him.
I don't know what to do with this guilt, i just feel that my heart is more with them then with him. And i don't think it should be this way. I can't share this with anyone, b/c i can't even say it out loud.I have the feeling i mist out on him. I'm very close to my other grand-dad,but not to him. I hope you don't think i'm this mean person, b/c i'm not. It has been bugging me,but i can't help how i feel....
I had to say this somewhere.



good night, and have a lovely weekend.

Wow i miss the good old days when i updated this blog everyday! I wish i had the time!!!

i ended up getting 98/100 on my oral English test,i have another one on the 21th with a tester that is not from my school staff, and that will be my final grade, i hope ill get a 100 that time. 98 wasn't enough for me, it was all b/c of that stupid project i didn't know the right medical terms in it. That might sound stupid to you, but lots of people get a 100, and i wanted it too!

I'm working on my paper non stop, i have 9 days to go and so many little things to deal with.
This paper is my baby,really,i'm working on it so hard! And it has a lot of weight in my diploma.
So i'm on the computer all the time (and that's why i respond in the forum, i can't help myself!. Tomorrow i have the day from school to work on it (and all i can say is thank god!).

On Friday there was a screening of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". It's a cult movie and in the screenings there is a group of people preforming on stage (with the movie) and the people in the audience dance and yell stuff and sing, it's really very funny&fun. I'm not a huge fan of it,i just like it,there are some people that are really hardcore about that movie. I've been to one screening last year and it was great so i went again with friends, and we had tons of fun.
They changed stuff a little (for people who know the movie) and instead of hearing the song "there's a light" they put "Umbrella" which was soooo funny!!

Then on Saturday i watched Titanic (i can hear Rachela saying yay now ) i should have been studying psychology,but w/e. It reminded me how much i love that movie!!! as kids my friends and i tried to stand on out toes like Rose in the movie,and were so in love with Jack!!!

Yesterday we had a lecture in school on car accidents,it was horrible!! There was a doctor,a police man and a woman in a wheelchair (that was in a accident obviously) and they actually showed us horror photos of accidents and all,what is that?! i was shocked the school agreed to that,i couldn't handle those pics at all! i think it would have been no-less effective without them,i mean we had that woman with the personal story and that was sad enough...

In other school news,were going to learn an Artur Miller play in English,"All My Sons" and i'm happy about that,it should be good if it's Miller. Though the title reminds me of the American soap "all my children" lol!

Ok enough with the blogging and back to work! have a nice week all! xoxo

I'm going to Rome on the 5th of March!!!!!!

I'm going with my mom and Linoy. it's going to be so much fun!!and it it so close!I really won't believe it until i'll see Rome with my own eyes.

In the mean-time i have so much things to do, i fill like hiding under my bed and never come out!
Should i list all of'em? well it's boring,but i need a list anyways,so here goes:

-tomorrow:oral test in English
also tomorrow there is a screening of Rocky Horror.yayyy.

-Sunday: psychology test (that i will surely fail)

-Tuesday:3 paintings due

-21th: some art thing we have to go to from school,which means no free time at all

-24th:first draft of a chapter in my sociology paper (that i have no time to do!)

-25th:art history test

-27th:my Audrey paper is due!!i'm working on it since last year,it's still not done!!

also:a test in English!

28-till the end of the month: were going to this place for 3 days and meet religious kids and have talks or what ever. the boys and girls are in different places!!!!!!!

3ed of of March:Sociology test

and then ROME!!!!!!!

omg listing it gave me a heart attack.i think i'll stop sleeping from now on,it takes to much time! and all of that with out listing homework and all the other stuff...oh dear god..

Well today at the museum was really nice. They only wanted me to organize things there. it took two hours and was a no-brainier.

well i have no time, i'm in the middle of doing my analyzing of princess ann. she's a hard one for me, she does too much things!!haha

Hope you had a good valentine!!

I don't know why,but i always write my entries at night. I can't help it! It's almost midnight,but i still felt like writing.

I'm working around the clock on my Audrey paper. It's due on the 27th,and i still have tons to do! If only i didn't have other things to do!! On Friday i have an oral test in English. It doesn't scare me or anything,i have no problem with speaking English or what ever,but there are going to be questions about a project we did last year,and i don't remember a thing so i have to read all of it . Then on Sunday i have a test in psychology on the development chapters (and that's a lot, it's all the material since September). Oh my i've got tons to do.

Tomorrow i'm going to work at the museum for the first time, i don't think it's going to be a regular thing,but even for once in a while they pay pretty well. Then i'll be studying till the evening at Lior's,so i'll be busy. It's good in a way i guess since it's valentien's day tomorrow,and i've got no one to be with (*cries*) I don't want to be thinking of that...(btw it's not even our holiday,but everyone celebrates it anyway. Tho we our own "valentiens in the summer,so there are 2 days like that.unfair for lonely people!!).Oh and i also have a bit of a cold again (damn the winter!) so i'm not in a great mood..

Ok so a lot of Audrey stuff on the agenda. I'm looking for the perfect Audrey photo for the cover of my paper. It can't be from BAT,RH or SABRINA,and it has to be her alone. If you have an idea please tell me!!

Another thing. Tomorrow BAT will be aired in one of the movie channels here. This is the fist time since i'm an Audrey-fan that it has been on tv!!The DVD is everywhere,but on tv you'll never find it...
The sad part is that i'm not going to be home to watch it (no point in recording,when i have the DVD). I really wanted to see it on tv,how stupid that my sound..I did how ever told everyone i know that can be interested and wrote it on my messenger (next to my name) a bit of publicity can't hurt right?

And last,in March there's an holiday called Purim witch is kinda like Halloween (without the scary witch stuff) so everyone dress up and all. Today i was at the mall and i saw all kinds of mask looking like the one's from BAT (again with that movie!) i looked and looked for one of a cat,but there were only bunnies and stuff. But i did find a dog mask looking like the one Paul had. So i bought it (it cost less then a lollipop hahaha). and i'll put a pic for you. tho in reality they are much more similar then what the pic (with the damn flesh)shows.



ok well have a nice valentiens and a great weekend!!

To answer Taylor question, yes i am afraid of going to the army, but i don't think it's from the reasons you think.

See, here almost every person that reaches age 18 (and is done with high school) has to serve in the army (unless he can't or is a pacifist or religion or what ever). So i don't really have a say in the matter. What i can choose is what i do, and i past the test for a job that is considered very good, and i will be working with civilians not soldiers, so it won't be like living in an army-base and all of that..

Also i'm not a big fan of the army or anything, i just do what i have to do, if it was a necessity i wouldn't be doing it. Though i know some people who would have done it anyway (and that creeps me out i must say).

So to get to the point, what i'm scared of is going to a brand new place, and not knowing anyone and being thrown into adult life just like that. But i guess that happens to everyone when they are done with high school...

The thing i think is good about those 2 years is that everyone becomes more mature,and it helps when comes to deciding what to study in the university,and how a person wants his life to be like and all that.

Speaking of what to study in the uni,i keep hearing from people that i should study cinema. I did not take it all to serious, but yesterday Freddy (my guide with the Audrey paper,and a cinema teacher at school) asked me if i was thinking of studding it. He always tells me that i would have gotten A's in his class if i took it, but that is different.
I really don't know what to think. I love cinema,it's really one of my absolute favourite things in life, and (sorry if this sounds cocky) i seem to know a lot more then other people my age. Most of them does not even know the names of directors and common stuff like that.
The trouble is that i don't think of my self as a film maker (of any kind), i don't even know if i have something to say....
Another thing is that art and fashion are a big passion of mine as well. I've been wanting to be a fashion designer for like 3 years now,and before that i used to say i wanted to be a designer of ant kind.

I know i don't have to decide now (as i said i have 2 years in the army to think) but it's really been bugging me the last few days. oh if i could just stay in high school it will make life a lot easier!!

ok sorry you had to listen to me whine, i needed to get that out of my system.

xoxo (copying from gossipgirl:lol: )

I had a nice trip, i really did!!

Where do i begin?
On the first day i we went on this short trip (only two hours or so) b/c it was after 5 hours of being on the bus and everyone were pretty worn out by that (tho the bus ride was super funny!!!). It was a nice place, and we got out of the bus to a totally different universe, or at least it felt like it.
I can't remember when was the last time i saw the sky so blue, without any clouds, and it was so hot (but not like July in the desert-that can really kill you!).

What was really great about this trip is that i got to talk to a lot of people that i had no time to catch up with besides small talk at school, that was awesome.

Remember that i told you i have a friend that is very obviously involved with another guy in my class,but wouldn't say anything to me?
So he came out to me in this trip, and told me all about him and that guy, they've been seeing each other for over to months now!
I'm glad he told me, i'm just he was shy about it, and felt he had to hide it.

In the 3 nights nights we were there we slept at this hostel. Not exactly 5 stars hotel, but completely bearable. But the food was just horrific!!!! The first night we couldn't it a thing b/c it was all so yucky,but then we had a great idea. We were inside the city, so for the other nights we just ordered in!!
How smart are we??in the first night we had pizza and in the 2ed we had Thai food.

The teacher did an act for us in the first night (since were seniors they allow themselves to make fun of us&them) and it was really funny, the other two nights there was this lamo party at some club, i had to go to one and it was really horrible,and in the 2ed i just didn't go.
One of my friends,Gilad brought playstation and we just played in his room .

Well so many things happened i can't even start to tell you everything so i'll just sum it up as a VERY VERY good last trip.

When we came back i gave Booki a lift home, and her mother waited outside and gave the LIFE mag (that Booki's dad got for me in NY) and OMG it is so great!!! I'm so glad i asked for it!! i love the pics with baby Sean and so many others,i love seeing pics i haven't seen before. I haven't got around to reading it yet....

So Yesterday i got a mail from the military saying that i got in to the soldier-teacher job i was tested for like a months ago (if you remember)YAAAAAY!!!!
I went with Linoy and 2 other guys from my class to a pub yesterday and i told them about that (it's considered a very good job for girls in the army, and since i have to do something i better off doing something meaningful) so we all toasted to that.
It was a great night, after that Linoy slept at my place.

Ok now let's get to the pics. I'm sorry about that horrible yellow and incorrect date on them, it's a mistake that i can't undo.

camels in the first day. i took a million shots of them.


pretty clouds over the mount (that we climbed!)


me going:"Bonjour Paris!!"


Linoy and me (i have the hat on my head)


from left to right: Tal,Ron and Gilad doing something stupid.


Eilat, the city we slept in, nice pic ha?


Booki and me (nice hat she has right?)


Lior and me. ok now you've seen all my close friends...


pretty place...


this is an actual site!!!!!

ok that took soooo long to upload, so this will be all, even tho i have like 300 more...

hope your having a nice weekend!!

Last entry before i go. I don't really have anything to write, but i can't bare the thought of living my poor blog alone,and left behind
Just kidding. I wanted to say goodbye to everyone and wish you a great week.

Tomorrow i have to be at school at 5:40 am!!!now you tell me if that's normal.i think NOT. It's b/c we have like a 6 hours drive or something,i think i'll die from that alone. Being on a buss for so long!
So basically we'll be hiking every day on the mounts in the desert, every day in a different part, and come back to sleep at this hostel in the town. The hostel is in the middle of the town, but we will only have permission to go out in the first night, witch sucks.
Well i hope it's gonna be fun and not lame, b/c right now i'm struggling to pack, one of the things i hate most,so i should get rewarded for that effort:lol:.

If i wasn't on a trip, i would go and do some shopping, see this town doesn't have VAT (value added tax?) I don't know why, but it's been like that forever. So everything is soooo much cheaper there! But i can't b/c i don't have the time ( i do have the money tho, i get some from my grand dad).

Today i handed in a great chunk of my Audrey paper, and my guide will check till i get back.
I don't think i've said anything about this guy.
His name is Freddy, he is a teacher of cinema at my school, i have been in his class two years ago, and it was great. Anyway, he's American i think about 50+ years old, and been here for a long time, but he still has that oh-so-cute accent, i can listen to it for hours. And also, he is such a hippie! I mean from the real one's.He told me he went to D.C to protest against the war in the 60's and all, how cool is that?! he listen to great music, and also he's a big Audrey fan, seen all her movies and all. When i told him i want to do a project on her he got so excited about the fact that "someone your age is still interested in her" and all that.
Freddy is a real character, always has tons of stories, and they are mainly very funny (even if he doesn't want them to be ).

Ok that's enough, i have nothing to write, truly (after i wrote so much about a teacher i realized that!).

Well see ya soon everyone, don't write anything TOO good on the forum, i don't want to miss out!hahaha

It's 2 freaking am! and i'm up! i'm out of my mind i guess!

I stayed home this evening so i can work on my paper, i really have little time to complete it, and the amount of work i have to do is crazy. At least it's about Audrey so i never get bored with it!

So today i went to school for 3 hours, and this is the last Friday i have to come.YAY.
I had a white blouse i bought not to long ago,and yes i actually bought it b/c of Roman Holiday. Anyway, i got lots of complements about her, i was really happy, what worked in 53' is still good

Then i did some shopping for the trip on Monday (not food,but all the other stuff). I have to take so many things for 4 days, it's so annoying!!

After that i came home, and there was mess in the house b/c a tube exploded and there were a few men fixing it, and they left me a great surprise, there is a HOLE in the bathroom wall!!! there not done, and it's going to stay like that for 3 more days,god damn it!

I watched 3 films today (when i could have been doing my paper) i saw "the life of others" a GREAT German film, i really liked it. And them 2 more movies on TV.
"Art school confidential", i've seen this movie before, it's cute, mainly if you study art. There is this girl called Audrey, so one of the guys ask her:
"is that your real name or are you just obsessed with Audrey Hepburn like every other art major chick?"
hahahahah so me right?!lol!!

All evening i actually work on my paper, so well done me, and then at midnight i watched "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". It's a cult movie, i've seen it a million times, and i went to one of it's screenings last year (everyone is dressed in costumes and there are people on stage, not my crowd at all, but i did love it!!i'm a real freak at heart i guess). It's better watching it in a group, but i had fun alone too.Brilliant movie, and Susan Sarandon is so young and hot in it!!

Ok, so remember when i said it snowed in the south? well i didn't know it was sooo south, right in the beginning of the desert! So my friend showed me this pick from a town there, and there are palm trees in the snow, so freaking weird!!!
Here's a link:
http://daisrael.deviantart.com/

Hope all of you are sleeping when you should, unlike me!!

bye bye

I'M DONE!!!!!i can't believe i'm done with literature! I feel like making a bomb-fire out of all my notebooks and exams!
My exam today wasn't easy at all, but i did my best, and wrote tons (mainly on "catcher in the ray" and "a perfect day for banana fish"- i love Salinger!). I wrote about 10 pages, my hand was so sour from writing!

But who cares???

So the snow did not come, well it did but not on my city. The whole north of the country, and some other mounts (like Jerusalem) are all covered with snow, and it's not very common here. I wanted to go see the snow, but i haven't got the time, and the roads are very icy and dangerous.

What we did have,however,is hail (had to look this word up) and huge, the size of my fist. It may not sound like much to most of you, but it is a very hard winter were having here. But i like it, i'm a winter girl.

I spent those 2 days off studying, really studying, I didn't let myself post an entry b/c it would have taken to much time.

Anyway, yesterday evening i was so sick of all this learning i've been doing, so Lior booki and i decide to go see a movie at the cinematheque (if you don't know what it means then google it)that we are all members at. We wanted to go see an Israeli movie called "The Band's Visit". It suppose to be a darling little movie about an Egyptian band coming to Israel or something. i don't really know.
You wouldn't believe what a stupid thing happened (you can point and laugh). There are only 2 movie theaters there, and there was only one line so we went to the back of the line, we didn't have tickets, just our members cards. So we got in, waiting for the movie to start, and then this woman comes on stage and starts talking about the environment!!we were like "wtf", but there was nothing we could, we set really close and couldn't just get up and live. She talked for 20 minutes and then some movie started and the lights went out, so we left.
Two minutes after that people started coming out from the other theater, and that's where "the band's visit" was showing, we didn't even get the hour right!!!! we felt so stupid!!!!

So this kind of reminded me of a different topic. This movie i was about to see won the Israeli Oscar, and the movie who wins is sent to Hollywood to try to be in the foreign movie award in the American oscars. To cut a long story short, it got disqualified b/c there were to much talk in English in it.
Instead another film was sent, called
"Beaufort". This movie i have seen, and it's one hell of a great movie. Truly. It's about something that happened back in 99' i think. The Israeli army withdrawal from a mount called Beaufort that was inside Lebanon. They decided to let go of it b/c of the Israeli public pressure on the government. This movie made me laugh and made me cry almost in the same amount. It deals with the privet life of the soldiers and not just with what's going on.

I hope it wins so bad!!!it's been sooooo many years since we won the actual oscar, And i really love this movie!!
I actually really love the movies that are made here, most of them are really good, no one makes stupid teenage comedies about pies (ahm ahm) or anything like that.


Ok sorry i got so off my line off thoughts right now! After the exam i went to Bookis house with Lior and all of us (and also Booki's sis) watched Funny Face!!!it was so cool!!!!!!!! I have seen BAT with friends, but never another movie of Audrey's, it was so fun.Even though i felt like singing all the time, and i couldn't do it with company. SO i'll let it out: BONJOUR PRIS!!!!!!

Oh yeah and the title is a question that was asked by Booki's sis ^.^


Have a loverly weekend!

Yesterday i saw "27 dresses", very cute, i really liked it! it has the problems that all romantic comedies in the 2000's have, it is very predictable, but it's still fun.

I went to see it with Linoy, and after it we set in this coffee house and drunk hot-coco, it was so cozy (and it was freezing out side).

The weather is very stormy, today it was hard to get out of my worm bad!!! There is even weather cast that it will be snowy in Jerusalem (that doesn't get snow every year) and maybe even here!! I live on a mount but it's not very high, so snow isn't common here at all. I WISH IT WILL SNOW!

If you can remember, i explained a few entries ago how does our exam system works. To cut it short (and if don't understand than you can look back at that entry) i have my literature final (called "bagrut") on Thursday, and then i will be done with it for ever! woo hoo!! So my teacher gave us her grades (that will be 50% of the final score) and she gave me 95/100!! I'm so happy!!

Starting next week i'll have a whole new scedual. On Sunday, and Tuesday i'll start an hour later (another hour to sleep!) and on Wednesday and Tuesday i get off an hour earlier! That's so great! and starting next week Friday's will be off once again. What can i say, i love being a senior .

So b/c of the bagrut, i'll have tomorrow and Wednesday off to study, and the exam itself will be at 2:20pm (so late!) so it's like i have 3 days off!

Oh and a really sad thing happened this weekend, my friend Sharon broke up with her boyfriend.She really loved him and she's so sad now, she didn't come to school yesterday cause of it.

Then next Monday were going on our big trip this year. It's Monday-Thursday, and it'll be in the desert, witch is the place i love most in my country, so unique and beautiful. I'll take some pics for you guys. They also said that we might go diving in the sea there, but the water are so freaking coled this season i don't think i could do that.

Tomorrow i'll tell you more about the trip, now i must go.

Have a good week everyone!!

Wow i totally forgot to mansion some really important things!
My aunt is at the hospital, she has bad stomach aches, and the doctors don't know what is it. It's been 2 days since she's been admitted, today my parents went to her house for the weekend to help with the kids and to visit her. My sister went to a friend so i'm all alone.

What's weird is that in the same day she went to the hospital, my friend Tal went too, with stomach aches! But for he's ok now, just resting at home.

And now in a more optimistic tone- i've got a letter from Marina and another one from Brain in the same day!!! i was so happy and excited when i saw them, i couldn't stop smiling. When i tell people about that they go "ahhhhhh what sweet people your talking to!". I've heard that like 4 times i swear!
Thank you both, i loved'em!

Hey everyone!!
I've been a bit out of touch this week, it's been hectic, and i didn't have more then a few minutes on the computer everyday.

So, first of all, i just wanted this to also be posted here, even though it's late-
rest in peace Heath.
It had been so shocking to hear of his death, and then it just became this grief. I think he was one of the better actors around. I really loved a lot of his movies like Brokeback Mountain, Candy and Ten Things I Hate About You.

The day he died was just so grey and cold here, and we were all sad in school, well mainly the girls.
my mom decided i needed more warm clothe this winter, so she gave me her credit card, and i went to the mall with Lior. But i did not find a lot of things, really they make lot's of junk. People tend to tell me i put to much thought into what i wear, even to school, but as someone who wants to be a designer, i think i'm entitled:roll: . so i bought to sweatshirts and one white blouse, then i've wanted for a long time (so roman holiday!).

Yesterday i had an appointment to see my doctor, nothing major, i just needed some forms to be filled by her and stuff. So i got permission to go from school, and i was supposed to live after the third lesson. Thursday is a really short day for us, everyday we get of at 3:05 and on Thursdays we finish at 1:35, so that's 6 lessons that day. it was a tiring and uneventful day, and we had a huge exam coming (more on that later) so Lior and Booki skipped their classes and came with me.
After i saw my doctor we went for a late breakfast in this place we love. yummmmm.
We set there for a very long time, it was almost noon when we left.

Then booki came over and we studied for our exam. It was in biblical studies, and it was on ALL the material we had learned up until we started creation stories. And also some of last year's material. It was a huge amount of things we had to know. NOTHING stuck in my head! i had never been so scared of a test (that wasn't math) like that in my life. And the questions were so hard!!
In the end i couldn't finish all of them, so now i will start my grade at 90. Oh it was so annoying.
After the exam today i needed to blow of some steam, so Linoy and i went to a mall (not the one i went to 2 days ago). And i bought a black pencil skirt and flats. It was in a great price too.

So now i have to decide what i'll do tonight. I've been invited to 2 bday parties (i stopped having my own parties like 2 years ago, i got sick of it) and what i really want to do is go see a movie.
I have to make up my mind,but it will wait until after American Idol (it's on here in fri-sat, two days after the US).

So see ya! have a nice weekend!

Ok so i know i said yesterday, but i did not get around to sitting here!

So, on the 20th, my family walked into my room in the morning, my mother with a very very large ball full of all kinds of chocolates and coffee, my little sister holding a card she made me (cute little thing!) and last, my father, with HUGE Audrey painting! And when i say huge, i'm talking more then a meter long!
It is so beautiful, here's a pic from the web of it:

It's going above my bad!

On the way to school i met a girl from my class,Shirley, and she gave me three cakes (each one an individual so it's the size of a mug) they were so beautiful, and good b/c they're from her father's restaurant.

In class everyone jumped on me and did the awkward public singing of a happy bday song (i HATE when people stand around me and sing, i have no idea what to with myself!sing?clap?i don't know!). Well i got another cake and cookies and lollipops (and then yesterday one more cake hahaha)and it was all so nice of everyone, they made me really happy.

From my three best friends (Lior,Linoy and Hadas-aka booki-) i got this big beautiful box that contained a perfume (called "ocean" it is very good, and i thought i'de never love another after i got my Givenchy "amarige amarige") and lots of body lotions and butters, some soaps and the cutest little hand towel with cartoons on it.

From other friends i got sleepers (very cute) a hat witch i hadn't received yet but it's suppose to be all BAT styled,and more soaps and silly things. Tal had no idea what to get me, so he told me he's taking me to a bar (witch i'm now allowed to do! )
And i got A LOT of money from my grand father.

I couldn't wear an Audrey Tshirt to school, since i planned on printing a pic from the computer on a special paper and iron it to a shirt, but there was not enough ink in the printer!
Instead i made a necklace with her pic witch turned our very nice, people that i don't even know told me they thought it was pretty . So i had a very nice day in school.

When i came home there were so many phone calls from family wishing me happy bday and all that. I had to study for a quiz witch socked, but i couldn't do anything about it. Eventually i got around to watching an Audrey movie, like i promised myself i will, RH was no where to be found so i watched Sabrina instead. It was over in 6:59! what timing! so i went to the "special feathers" part and put on a pic of Audrey, and had my moment of silence.

All day i had no idea what i'm going to do in the evening, and quite frankly i didn't feel like going out when it's so cold and windy, so when my friends suddenly arrived to my house i was so haapy! Each one brought a bottle of wine witch was so funny, seeing them marching in like that, and then we all ordered sushi (there trite of course) and it was a very fun evening. They left after mid night, so i only got about 5 hours of sleep that night.
It was a very nice bday,and also Tal passed his driving test so we were all very happy. And on friday i'm going to use my id for real and walk into a bar.

Yesterday and today was just nothing special, i just got my english and history exams back, i got 65 and 95.

Oh, also today is a sort of a holiday here, it's not religious. it's national i think, it's celebrating trees and nature basically, but we don't get the day off so it doesn't feel like a holiday .
In elementary school they go and plant trees every year.
So as my friend booki likes to call this day: "hug a tree day" hahaha

well now i must run, bye bye

It's very late and i'm very sleepy, so this will just be a short one.

Thank you everyone here for wishing me happy bday, i hope your day was full of Audrey!

I had a great day and a very full one, but i managed to see "Sabrina" at the evening, and had a moment of silence at 7 pm, with Audrey's face looking at me from the tv.

Over all a great bday, i will tell you everything about it tomorrow i promise!


more to come~

I got 91/100 on my literature test!!! I'm so happy, it's more then i even dreamed of getting! It was quite a nice way to start the weekend.

Yesterday was a bit disappointing.
I came back from school (well school on friday alone can make me very sad, i hope soon i won't have to go in the weekend) and i saw Shrek 3 with my sister on DVD. It was funnier then i remembered! this one thing that Justin said really cracked me up:"Im building my city people, on rock&roll!". It's so funny b/c Lior and i say something really similar ALL the time!

Well then i got a phone call from Linoy and she asked me what was my ID number and my postal code:shock: .. It has something to do with my Bday but i won;t find out till tomorrow.

As you know, i was suppose to go to this gig, and we did got till the entrance of the club, but did not get in! There were sooooo many people, i've never seen such a huge crowd at this club, and i go there quite often.
So b/c of the big lines, they decided that they should check everyone's Id's. It wasn't a problem for most of us (including me, yay, 24 hours don't count), but some of us have a few good month before they turn 18, so we decided not to try.

We took a cab to this cafe/bar place and set inside (where it was warm and nice) and ordered some deserts (that were mighty good ) as a pre-celebration of my bday (or in other words, we looked for a good excuse to eat that amount of calories).

In the end i wasn't even sad that we didn't go to the club, it was such a pleasant night, we talked and talked till it was almost 3 in the morning and the cafe was closing.
There will be other gigs:).

Today i went to my grand dad, it was supposed to be a celebration (my aunt's bday was on the 16th) but my cousin who studies medicine had a test and couldn't come, so it'll be next weekend. Still we had lasagna for lunch, witch is one of my favourites!

I was talking today about how sad it is that it has been 15 years since Audrey had passed, and no one could understand me. They were all saying not be so obsessed with that tomorrow, and just enjoy my birthday. It really hurt me, b/c it's my family and they know how much she means to me.

In a way, i think it's special that she died on my birthday, a sort of connection between the two of us. I hope that doesn't sound disturbing and weird to you, that's just how i feel.

On a totally different Audrey topic (i need to cheer up now) i let my father read the bio part of my paper (he is a writer) for reviews, and he said that it was really interesting and that he had no idea that she was in occupied Holland and all. It made me really happy, as he never seemed interested in learning about her, witch would probably never have happened if not for this paper.

Well, that's enough for now. I hope tomorrow wouldn't be so sad to you all, better to think about her amazing life then her death (although i do get melancholic at times thinking of how young she was and how unfair her death was).
May this day be easy on Sean,Luca and Robert, even though i can't wish them that in person.

good night!

The sky is blue and beautiful, it's not warm or cold, just good. There wasn't a day like that in weeks!

Yesterday i got the earrings i ordered from ebay. They are a replica of one's that Audrey had, it's from something called "Hollywood collection".


I love they are so pretty!

Also yesterday, we had the art fair.It was awesome! This Caricaturist from one of the big news paper's came, and he told us about his job, and painted on the computer. It was great.Then there was this "market" and students sold some crap (hahaha i'm supportive) but someone made sushi that was damn good! And then we saw a lame ballet performance, it really sucked..

Nothing else is worth mentioning i guess..

So Today i got off early from school, b/c we took our group photo of the class, and then people lined up to do the individual one's. I already did them so i was free to go

Tomorrow i'm going to see a gig of 2 bands. One of them is mentioned in some post in December or End of November, with a big pic. I'm going with a lot of friends, and i suspect they are going to get me really drunk b/c it's my 18th bday on Sunday (and one has to drink when he/she becomes legal).

I'm a bit sad though. This really cuta and nice guy was supposed to be coming, and he's not. I met him in November (he's a friend of a friend)and he was really charming (stupid word i know, but there is no other way to say it). He lives a bit far, not inside the city, and unlike his friend that goes to school with me, he goes to a school in another town. So i never get to see him.
I hope some day soon i'll meet him, maybe we can hit it off, i'm so tired of stupid guys hitting on me (and on everyone else for that matter), and never guys i like. Well i can't say when was the last time i really liked someone, they are all so stupid (yeah see my post from the 6th of this month).
Even if he's not for me, i would still like him as a friend, he likes old movies, and pretty cool music, and he's also really smart from what iv'e seen.

OK ill go eat lunch now! hope your all well!

Has anyone seen the film "Atonement"? I was supposed to see it today, but cancelled b\c i have to get up early (very very early). I have heard good things about and i want to see it, but i would love to hear from you if you have seen it!

The English quiz i had today was so hard!!! We couldn't believe it. There were 2 different texts (one for each row) one about the Bush government and the other about India and Pakistan. Both of them had blanks in them and we had to fill out the words from a bank we were supposed to know by heart. And it was damn difficult!! If there's something i'm bad at in English, it's spelling, i just can't remember the unusual words

Other then that today was nothing special. My art teacher postponed our meeting witch was annoying...

We learned a very interesting story of creation today in biblical studies, the Babylonian creation myth called Enûma Eliš (here's a link to Wikipedia if you feel like it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En%C3%BBma_Eli%C5%A1)

I love learning about ancient cultures, that's why i love art history, with the Egyptian and Greek mythology stories.

Anyway, we compared it to the bible story (that was written a very long time after that) and there were some similarities. I don't think i've ever paid attention to what was going on in that class before. It was always so damn boring! I hope it continues to be like it was today, but well, i just know it'll be boring again in a week..

Right now there's an open stage thing going on at a club near my house, and this friend of mine is preforming. I'm baby sitting on my little sis so i can't go

Oh and tomorrow we have this "Art day" in school,and there will be some lectures and a fair of student made crafts (and by that i mean shitty necklaces made by bored girls ). But they are bringing in good people to talk to us. Last year there was this well-known actor who did a few monologues and answered questions, and there was a modern ballet group and stuff. The year before that a musician that i love came, and talked to us about the process of making an album and played a few songs.
I have no idea who's coming tomorrow, i mean i know b\c i saw the program, but i don't know who they are.

I'll hope for the best! a least it means finely a day with no exams!!

have a good night/day everyone! hope your all well!

PS: the new name of the blog, it's from "The AH Treasures", just in case you didn't know .

The pressure in school just keeps on going, i think i will get used to living under pressure

And it's so cold (well not compared to Europe), but it's like the two coldest weeks in the last 15 years or something. But it wouldn't snow, just stays like 2 degrees over zero (Celsius). So were freezing but no fun comes out of it:cry:

Today i had my history test, i think it was ok. Yesterday Linoy came over and we studied so i knew the material.Or i hope so.

Tomorrow i have this nasty quiz in English, but i really didn't feel like studying again, it's too much to ask. Instead i watched Casablanca on TCM, i think you would agree it's way better.

My art teacher (the nicer one of the 2, not the one who said thing about Audrey) is going to give me a job at the museum as a helper to guides or something like that.
I'm so happy she asked me, i really need to make my own money, and a museum is a really cool way to do it.

Well other then that i really have nothing much to tell, i have no life b\c of school lately, and it's the same for everyone here.

I really want February to start, that's when we go on our yearly trip, it's 4 days long, and they usually are so much fun!

ok, i might go and study. Ok i wont, i will just be on the computer. hahaha, school is so unimportant!!

have a nice week everyone!

First of all i want to thank everyone who comments on my blog. It makes me feel so good when i come home and read all of you wishing me good luck and such!!

I'm finally done with the big test, well until the 31th. In the mean time i'm going to have to more exams and a quiz.So i haven't a single moment for myself.

I don't know how i did on the exam yesterday, it was very hard, and since it's literature i had to write A LOT. and when i say that i mean it.i wrote 8 freaking pages !!! my hand was sour after that.

After that was over Linoy and i went to eat lunch,just the 2 of us, witch was very nice.

However, when i came home and wanted to sleep so bad, my dad started telling me he wants me to do things around the house, like empty the dishwasher and all that. It was so annoying! It's not that i mind doing that, but i was so sleepy.
And i couldn't sleep after that, because we went to my grand-dad's house.We got back at around 9 pm, witch was very late, b\c i had this thing i was going to at 10pm.
Anyone see a pattern here? i do! no rest!

Though i went to this Led Zeppelin evening (like the beatles one that was 3 weeks ago). It was very cool, and they gave out the new cd that they did as prizes, but i didn't win one . I won a free ticket to the next night tho.

I got home late, and went to bad. But could i sleep till mid morning like i would want to (and need)?!?! oh no!
It turned out we were invited to this Bath-Mitzva (it's a celebration for a girl that turns 12, there is also a Bar mitzva for boys when they are 13).
And it was in Tel Aviv, so far..the food was great though, i ate sooo much!!

Plus, on the ride home my parents decided my sister needs a new coat, so we stopped at a mall. I couldn't even get home in peace.

My history test is on monday and i really did not start studying, just looked at the book. damn that second world war, so much things i need to memorize!(ok ok that's not the reason i hate that war, but still...)

Tomorrow we have our year book photos taken. I'm going to straighten my hair for it, i hope it comes out good. I hate those pictures i always come out weird in them. but it's the very last one so it just have to come out good!!
I hope 20 years from now i will be looking at this pic and think "what a cute girl with silly bangs (b\c it would look like a stupid hair trend by then)", and not "ohhh the horror!! how could i have looked so bad?!"

Well you know, not all is bad. I have the greatest news. You know what i'm getting for my birthday?!?!?!?!
A ROMAN HOLIDAY!!!!!

i've found out that my mother is planning it, we'll probably go on march. i can't wait!!! oh it's so nice to turn 18! I have been wanting to go to Rome for like 3 years!!!
And Booki might be coming with me, and that would be so cool!

and on this optimistic note (just writing it makes me happy) i'll be going to study history.

have a nice week everyone (i probably wont)

Wow i had a great day yesterday! who would have thought?

I got up really really early, it was still dark outside. I didn't want to wake up, but had no choice.i was sad b\c a girl from my art class that was suppose to come with me, told me she ain't going. I didn't want to be alone all that time.

At the train station (it was still dark, and not many people were there obviously,this girl saw the paper with the military logo on it, and came to talk to me. She was going to another summon, not where i was heading, but we took the same train to Tel Aviv, and we talked all the way. She was really nice, and she made me feel batter about going alone and all.

After we went our separated ways, i took a bus to another city next to Tel Aviv, called Petach Tikva (i don't know the correct spelling), it's not a long drive, but with the morning traffic it took about an hour. By that time i was scared i'm going to be late.

Luckily, the bus stopped right next to the entrance of the place i was going to . I was 10 minutes late, but no one minded.
At first there were this different tables in one room, and soldiers sitting behind them. Each on explained about what she does in the army.

So now i'll explain.This job they were recruiting for is called (in poor translation) "teacher soldier". There are quite a few thing that someone like that does, i'll only list the once i was interested in (in the order that i choose them):

"green lanes"- basically a nature tour guide. they study for 4 month everything from biology and zoology to geography. There are 5 mane zones they guide in, some of them i really like.They guide soldiers and children mainly, but also adulates and family tours.

I'm not sure of the name of the next one- being a helper and guide at after school programs for troubled children and teenagers. Do everything from helping with homework to spacial activities and holidays. Be a part of a place that is a home to kids who's homes are a mess.

the 3ed on is being a guide to children from ages 6-18 that had just immigrated to israel. teach them the hebrew language and try to help them settle and start they're life here.

these are the 3 options i choose, in case i get the job. I wasn't really into doing this in the army but they made me all excited about it. All the soldiers were extremely nice and helpful, and seem to like what they're doing a lot.

We had a test, it was quite hard, i hope i did good on it.
Then we were divided to groups, i was in a group of 7. We had role-playing assignment, and a game the tested group dynamics, and we had to do a 3 minute speech about a subject we choose from a list.
I really hope i did good, i tried to talk as much as i could.

There were three women testing us, 2 soldiers and one teacher (i think) they were all nice and supportive. One of the soldiers kind of looked like Audrey in the sabrina days, she was really pretty.

They gave us lunch that was surprisingly good, and i set with the girls from my group. They were all nice, and we came from so many different places so we had a lot to talk about.

After lunch we had individual interviews, i think mine went quite well.
Then i drove back to Tel Aviv with one of the girls from my group, named Maayan. I liked her a lot, we went to drink coffee together and then went to the train station. She had to go on a different train, but before we parted, we switched phone numbers and facebook address.
She was so sweet, she send me a text massage asking if i got home al right:lol:

I was so tired when i got home, but it was ag reat day. I'll know if i'm in in the next 2-3weeks. For the "green lanes" i'll have to go to another summon (if i pass this one that is).

*going to continue studying-the test is tomorrow*

I have so little time!!
On friday i have a huge exam in literature, on the material we studied in the last two years!

Our exam system is a little weird so i'll explain: We have this final tests in high school called "bagrut" exams, they are national and are identical in all schools and languages (we have some people who do them in Arabic and Russian). We have a "bagrut" test for every subject we take in high school, and on some subjects we have a few, like English, i did one last year and i have another this year on different materials. so far so good.

Because they don't want our grades to be completely dependent on this one (or few) exams, they give the teacher the ability to give us this grade, that includes our work through out the year and one final test she gives us. The grade we get from the teacher is 50% of the final grade in the bagrut.

All the grades from the different "bugrut" exams go into our high school diploma. The more you do the batter, and it goes by points (we can basically choose the level of some subject, easy maths or medium or hard and so on, easy is 3 points bagrut and hard is 5 etc.).

sorry that was long...so on friday i have the last exam that my teacher gives us, so it's huge. On the 31th i have the bagrut. It's the only one we do so early in the year, the others are between May and July.

On monday i have a history test:(. so i have tons of studies to do.

Yesterday was Lior's birthday, it was a great day, so much fun! she loved the perfume we got her, and well we spend the whole day with her, it was great.
Today a girl in my class made another cake for lior and brought it to school. yum.

I'm a bit sick though, this damn cold i have is coming back all the time! i sneezed all through history class today, it was annoying

I hope i feel batter by tomorrow, that's when i have this army thing. I've found a girl in my art calss who's also going to the same place. so were going together witch is cool b\c the drive is long and i don't feel like being alone.

well, i've got to study (sob sob), i hope i'll find time to see the forum and the blogs, i barely managed to do that in the last 4-5 days

bye!

It really has been! where should i start?
well, friday morning i had to go to school ( ) it was very boring so my friend Tal and i skipped the last 2 hours, so he can get Lior a gift (her B day is tomorrow-more to come on this subject!).He got her the Kate Nash CD (my idea:) ). So it was raining like hell, but i still had to go to my driving lesson,that wasn't much fun ....

In the evening i went to a gig/party, and the band that preformed were called Funk'n'Stein and they are so f**king cool! They have this weird sound and they mix so many styles. Men they were awesome!
Anyway, this funny thing happened. I was dancing with my friends,when suddenly this guy comes out of no where and starts dancing with me, but it wasn't normal dancing, he was spinning me like it was ballet or something! then he started pulling me away from the crowd, and i thought "no way buddy", so i started going in the other direction, and he came after me, so i told him i'll stay with my friends.
He left, but then he came back and started dancing with me! **stocker** so i left him again, and he came back once more, and before he pulled me to dance i took myself a few steps back into my friend's arms. He just didn't give up! what the hell?

This other guy in the crowd so the whole thing, and he was laughing so hard, the last time i rejected the "dancer" he told his friend something, and then they both took a bow in front of me, it was Hilarious!!!!

So when the band was done there was also a cool DJ, but i had to go, b\c i had to get up early the next morning.. my friends said it was great, but no matter, there's another gig+dj in the 18th that i'm going to

The next day i went to visit my aunt and grand-parents from my mother's side, whom i don't see often. It was so much fun! i got to see my cousins, the smallest of them is 4 months old, and so cute!my grand-mom made great food, and after lunch we all set and watched "Grease"-i loveee that movie!

It was a long day, but i had fun. In the evening we went to one of the big book stores to see if they have LIFE, but they didn't someone should get it though...

This morning i had my test, it was horrific, i was soooo nervous and i made to many mistakes. I didn't get the results yet, but i know i'm going to fail. I cried A LOT after it was over, all the way to school. But then i met my friends and they made me feel better...

I came back in time for Psychology,and we went to the kinder garden we have at our school and tried Jean Piaget theory of cognitive development on the kids. They were 3-5 year olds, and cute!!! the theories were almost perfect in the children's answers, it was amazing.

It was such a fun day, right after that I went to the museum with my art class,and then a few of us went out to lunch. I almost forgot about my test by then.

I spent all afternoon and evening at Booki's making home-made cupcakes for Lior, and they came out just beautiful, and so good
Were going to bring them to school along with flowers and this silly book we bought for her. Then right after school is over, we'll drink Champagne with some friends and then go home. In the evening were going to this mexican place that serves good food and margaritas, just the close friends. I hope she'll have fun.


well i must go. bye bye!

Ohhh i'm so glad to be home! it's be a long day!

So yesterday at the mall we got a burberry perfume for Lior, i hope she'll like it, it smells soo nice!

Today we had a "trip" to this military base from school. It was this huge place and they explained about the different things we can do in the army, some was interesting, and some sooo boring...why would i want to sit in an office for a year and answer emergency calls? *lamo*

The really cool thing was that one of the guides (there were a lot, all soldiers of course) played in a tv show 2 years back, and did a few modelling jobs you can guess he is soooooo hot! and he was in uniforms.oh dear god . See everyone has to serve in the army, even the rich and famous
So my home room teacher saw that all of us girls were excited, so when they were assigning guides to the classes, he pulled him and said to the soldiers that he's going to be our class's guide. My teacher rule!!!

his name is Adam, and he was really nice, not what you'd expect. It was a long day there, and it was mostly boring, so by the end i asked Adam when is it going to be over, and he replied that we have this last talk inside the group, i was like "whyyy" (i was tired) and he smiled to me and said "well don't you want me to tell you goodbye properly?"
hahaha he is dreamy.

Next week i have this summon to the education corps,i can't wait to here what are they offering for me, from what i heard today they have some cool jobs.

On Sunday i have another driving test. i didn't have lessons at all for weeks, but the last one was fine and i'll do a few more before the test. I hope i'll do ok, it is really depressing when i see everyone driving...i should have started earlier, but what's done is done (or so they say).

I just saw the first episode of a new israeli series\night time soap. I won't tell you the plot, bc i don't really know it yet, but it takes place in the 60's witch is soooo cool!! all the music and clothe are to die for

well as i've said, it's been a long day, so i'll go to bad.

bye bye

I've got to make this a short one, i'm in a hurry..
I have another test on the 6th! i just found out today. I hope i'll be ready since i haven't been taking driving lessons...oh well, i'll keep you posted.

My new year's was a bot lame, many people from my school went to this club, it's down town in a scary place and my friends and i didn't feel like it. I actually wanted to go to this other club, but it was 18 and up
so afew of us decided to go out to this pub (that you only sit outside) and then it got cold, and everyone started cancelling.I mean t's new year's eve, what do you expect it to be?July?
i was depressed and didn't want to stay home, and so me and two other friends went to booki's house. It turns out she makes pretty good cocktails. we were at her basement and were drinking from fancy glasses, it was funny. we made some stupid resolutions (vodka was kicking in) and it turned out to be a nice evening after all.

well Lior's b-day is on the 7th and i'm going with Linoy to get her a gift. We have no idea what to buy...
so i must go to the mall now..

c ya!!

I can't believe this year is over, it went by so fast.
This year started out the worst it can be, my best friend lost her mother to censer, and it was really hard on her (of course) and on me too, bc i knew her since i was 6.
Then in febuary, one of my closest friends decided she doesn't want to be my friend any more, with no apparent reason, she felt she was left out (in a time when i was trying to help and support my other friend,Linoy). we have not been talking since, and she had begun drinking and smoking a lot.

The rest of the year was all that batter, after i felt my life were just braking into pieces (there were other things i did not mention). I met some great friends from Germany in the spring, and went to visit them in the summer. I had some good grades in the finals last year (we do them by parts, some in the freshman and junior year, and the most this year). And i had a big trip to the UK, to London and some parts of Scotland.

I feel that i have grown and learned from all this events, i feel comfortable in my skin, and i know who i am. Just last week, Linoy told me i'm very generous, after i gave money to a girl from my year, that had no money for lunch. She said i give out help to anyone, i hadn't noticed that, but it is on the way to what i want to become, to be a good person, a helpful one.

So what i want to accomplish in 2008?

- i want to be the best student i can be and finish high school with high grades.

-to seize my age, have fun and do some crazy things, i'm almost done with my teen years, and i'll never be as carefree again.

-fall really deeply in love. in the past i though i was deeply in love, but looking back i see it's not true,i have been superficially in love, but not in the real seance of the word.

-Try to be the best person i can be, be caring and helpful to others (as i said before).

-Learn Italian (witch i'm gonna do as soon as i finish with literature class-the final test is on January 31th).

-Have a trip to Rome- if i don't do it this year i'll have to wait till after the army, so i'll be about 20 years old!that's to long to wait!!

-Do everything in my power to improve my designer skills, as you know/don't know, i want to be a fashion designer.I know my sawing skills are not so good yet, we don't learn it at school as some countries do, and i need to try and saw more.

-see all Audrey movies. this is really important to me, but i have no idea where i can get all the early one's like the secret people and the lavender mob....

well obviously i have tons more things i want to do, but i think i covered the big ones.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

hope you go crazy tonight!

consider this just another part of the last entry. I just saw the movie "Love and Other Disasters". It's so great! the plot is cute and all, nice views of London (my love) and there are 2 small clips from Breakfast At Tiffany's!!!! and they also talk about it, and Moon River is played like three times!and there is a small similarity between the main character to a wanna ba Holly Golightly! plus there is also a small clip from Notting Hill! ohh i love when they do that in movies!!! well you've got to see it! even if you don't like Brittany Murphy (witch i don't).
well that's all.

Wow i'm so glad tomorrow is saturday! this week was tooo long! Although tomorrow i have to study for a quiz and do homework (sob sob) at least i won't get up 7:00 am!

My poster came out so pretty! it's going above my bad, where it originally belonged.

Wednesday i went shopping with friends and i bought a per of 5cm-hills shoes, in a gorgeous blue, i think i'm in love8).We also got this amazingly beautiful candy baskets for a girl who had a B-day today. We bought 2 (we were 4, so it's one from a couple) they are different but both looked so great and so yammy! we kind of went crazy in the candy shop, bc of all the pretty lollipops, and the bill was a bit scary. Doesn't matter- she loved it!

Her name is Michelle, and she used to be a good friend of mine, but we drifted apart. She is a nice girl tho, and apparently lots of people see that, bc our class room was filled with balloons, cakes (about 5, all home made!) and other b day stuff. There was no room to move.
There was a very festive atmosphere, and all the teachers were nice as well bc of it.

After school a few of us went to get some lunch together, it was sunny and nice out, and we set at this new place that opened up. I got a chance to talk to a friend i haven't been talking to for a while, i don't know why. He was a bit sad, his girlfriend lives in a far away city, and he couldn't go to meet her this weekend as he planed. But that is why he got to be with us, and that's also good (i hope).

My good friend Lior moved to a new house, and she took us yo see it after lunch. It's amazingly beautiful. Her grand father, was one of the most important architect in the national history, and the house used to belong to him (he had passed away). Now her parents re-designed the interior house, in away that would still reflect what it used to be, and it came out just amazing. I wish i could live there!! of course i'm spending a whole lot of time with her, so i'll be there a lot

OHHH i found out about a week ago that we have a new couple in class. One of them is my on-and-of friend (it's to hard to explain) Daniel, and the other is Matan. They are both boys. Matan i knew was gay, he would not come out, but i knew anyway. Daniel had been insisting that he is not gay, till finally i believed him (but it took a while, i'm good at this things- well most girls are). I am so happy for them, they were always good friends, and if you ask my friend booki, she'll tell i said they were made for each other! Ha ha i rule!
They of course wouldn't tell us, but as you know rumores run fast(and they're friends are also my friends-haha) and also i have eyes, and i can see how they act around each other.

Today they were late for history class, and the teacher, who was trying to tell all of us to be polite and all, made them stand one on each side of his (he wasn't angry or scary, just talking) and he asked Matan "where were you?" and Matan was like "ammmmmmmm.......out", and Daniel said, :yeah i was with him" (and i wrote to booki, "well we know you were"), it was so clear what they were doing! oh it was so funny and cute! and then i asked Daniel where was he and he turd all pinkish and said "just.you know.out". hahahaha basted!!

Well that's enough stupid un-interesting things for one entry. I hope i didn't bore you all that much!

see ya!

When all of you were celebrating i had to go to school, but no matter, i have way more holidays then you (but i want xmas more then most of them).

The play i saw yesterday sucked! i really wanted to enjoy a good play, but it was quite bad. Accept for one actor, the cast was disappointing, the wardrobe was a mess,and so many other things were wrong. Plus, seeing a play when there are 800 teenagers (seniors and juniors) in the audience, is not the way you would want to see a play.
It maid me miss being in London and seeing Cabaret- it was soooo great!

Today i had a red scarf and a xmas charm bracelet on when i went to school. My friend went over board wearing a white shirt, huge red belt (it's mine) and a green skirt. All in the jolly spirit of xmas. I wished merry xmas to everyone, it was so funny. For the most part i mean, bc there was one sad greeting.
I was in the school cafeteria, and one of the workers gave me what i asked for, and i noticed he was wearing a cross necklace, he was working on xmas day! i wished him a happy holiday,i do think i was the only one who did so, bc he was a bit surprised, a said thank you like he really meant it, and high school kids are not my definition of kind and thoughtful human beings, not in the cafeteria line anyway.
It maid me very said that he was there and not with his family, thought i know that there are many people working on holidays.

I'm getting my BAT poster framed, bc i want to reserve it as well as i can. In the store works this old man, and he cannot shut up! on Friday i was there with my dad and he capt us there 20 minuets talking on and on about a trip to america, when finally he got to the point of the story, a poster of Gone With The Wind! he couldn't tell us about it alone, no, he had to tell us where he was before, with whom, how long did the drive take, what did he eat. HE DROVE ME CRAZY!!!
Today i was very close to this store, when i had an hour gap between lessons in school, so i went to see if the poster is done (and it was). He almost made me and my friend miss the next lesson! In short, he wanted to know the name of the song from BAT , but he had to tell us what happened to him since i last saw him. this man is seriously damaged. I tell you this, i'm not going to take the poster, i'm sending my dad!

Over all, this day was nothing special, but i hope your day was great!

good night!

MARRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Hope you have a wonderful holiday!

and now in Hebrew

חג מולד שמח!!!!!!

I'm sorry it took me so long, but i finally some of my art work to the computer, so i'll post them now.

Beatles night was soo much fun!! I won't tell everything bc it'll take too long, but they showed some Beatles cartoons for kids, all from the 60's, it was brilliant! (that's the most 60's smiley i can find)...

After it was over, it was like 1 am, me and my friend Hadas (i call her booki-long story don't ask, went out of the cinema it was in (it is located at this centre with lots of pubs and restaurants) we met just about all the people from my class.Not all of them together, but in groups. One of the guys is hosting an Australian guy for a week, and we met him, he was really nice.
When it got to cold for us (about an hour later) we jumped on a cab and went home..

Saturday was nothing special, i did some homework with Lior, she is sick and i felt so sorry for her , but we had to those homework together.
Then she left and i saw Green Mansions on tv

Today i was super tired in school,and i had 2 hours of literature . I swear this teacher hates me! She changed my sit twice, and the 2ed time i didn't talk AT ALL. And what i really hate is that when she sees me outside of class she is all smiles and rainbows. Damn her.

Last week she took my sketch book from under my arm (i was in the middle!) and looked at it. Just like that in the muddle of the lesson. There were fashion drawings, and she said "is that what you want to do with your life then?", why should i tell her? i don't like her one bit. And i have to be good and polite . Sometimes i wish i was one of the people that say what ever to who ever.

But then i think of Audrey, and how i love the way she was, and i never want to be mean to anyone.

This evening i was at Kick-box class at the jim. WOW this is hard!!! but, i have to do sports no matter what i guess, i want to be healthy and all. I wish i could stop drinking so much cola and eat so many sweets. It's really bad, but what can i do..at list i work out....

Tomorrow i'm going to see the play "Antigona" with my school. I love plays, and this one won the israeli Tony or something like it, so it ahould be good .

ok here are the pics:

this is Fanny and Alexander

All That Jazz

Blue Velvet

Trackback
The Thin Man

Full Metal Jacket

Breakfast At Tiffany's

It's not all of them, but i don't have time or power for others...

Have a great Christmas Eve everyone!!!!!!!


bye bye

After two days of feeling like shit, i finally feel a lot better, and just in time for the weekend
Though many others of my class mates are sick . It has gotten a whole lot colder this week...

This morning i finished Breakfast At Tiffany's! I really like it, i think it's bc i kept seeing Audrey in my mind.I've read it in Hebrew, but in my head half the dialogue was in English (i know the movie by heart of course..)
Well Holly was not all that different from the movie's Holly, she (and all other characters) are very racist, and she talks a lot more about sex, but that part is implied from the film as well. Over all it's a great book (an so short, i really wanted it to be longer:( ).

Today i've found out i do have Green Mansions on TCM
I was sure it's never on there, but it turns out the name in Hebrew is sooooo different that i didn't know it was the same movie! stupid me!! I'm going to watch it tomorrow morning!! i love watching Audrey on TV. Even though it's not one of my fav movies of her..

I have to go get dressed. I'm going to a Beatles night (yes i'm a big fan ). It's like a lot of clips of theirs and someone telling stories between them, and maybe one of their movies.And there are some prizes.. it's very cool. We have that event once a month,every time about another rock group\singer.
Unfortunately a few friends of mine are sick and won't be able to go (sob sob), i thought i was going to be one of them, but i'll take Advil and will be OK

BYE BYE
