pilates

a few words about my new pilates lessons. i just adore them. three times a week, during lunchtime - perfect timing. the whole day is ahead and i feel like i have super-energy to spend. after exercises and great music i'm feeling content and happy

as pilates himself once said, 'physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness'. oh how true it is!

о театре и москве

не могу похвастаться отличным качеством фотографий, но могу похвастаться спектаклем на который ходила в прошлую субботу. это -  дядюшкин сон темура чхеидзе с алисой фрейндлих и олегом басилашвили в главных ролях. я не буду долго говорить о спектакле, в котором просто блистала алиса фрейндлих: сколько же энергии и силы в женщине, которая играет и выглядит также как и во времена служебного романа.

но о чем я действительно хотела поговорить, так это о моих ощущениях. сидя в зале и слушая русскую речь, я ощутила безумную тоску по москве, ее театрам, ее разговорам. мне казалось, выйду отсюда и на улице будет снег и садовое кольцо, а потом огни на тверской и украшенная елка в конце улицы.

stella's cakes

it's been a long time since i last wrote about cooking. not to forget that part of my blog, i want to dedicate this post to stella luzan, my favourite georgian cake master and her cake masterpieces.

cake boss is my favourite show on discovery travel&living channel and the things they make and how they make them are truly crazy and unbelievable. but its even crazier and more unbelievable to imagine that here in tbilisi, stella bakes magical cakes without all those super baking technologies. she makes colours herself, flattens marzipan with her own hands ... and in several hours that is how her magic cakes start to look:

 bachi's birthday cake
 
  our wedding cake
   my 25 birthday cake
 other cakes i like

too early for new years mood?

today at work i received samples of christmas hand made cards which i really liked. out of many variants, i chose the one below - a sweet angel.


and that was when my holiday mood started. is it normal to anticipate chrismas and new year in the beginning of october? but the weather is helping we with that. so do the songs, that i've been listening since morning.

minus you i'm half, plus you i'm whole

when i just started dating bachi, i sent him a song to listen and wondered whether he would like it. it is not something many people like to listen to, but is my absolute favourite. if bachi didn't like it i thought it was impossible to be with this person. his answer was 'very yeeeeeees' and so was mine on 17 july 2010 :)

 

then like every couple, we got our own song. our song was by 33a, perhaps the best modern georgian band. the lead of it, bachi's good friend, niaz diasamidze, performed this song on our wedding too - and that was perhaps the best gift i got.


and then my collection of songs which make me think about bachi started. in my car, in ipod, on the laptop, in a bar, restaurant, street, beach - i hear the songs which cover me with warm emotions and thoughts about bachi. enjoy my small selection of songs which can be a nice soundtrack to your romantic date too.


i've been searching a long time, for someone exactly like you, i've been travelling all around the world; waiting for you to come through, someone like you, you make it all worthwhile, someone like you, keeps me satisfied, someone exactly like.. you

my bebo

grandma is warmth. grandma is childhood. grandma is happiness.

yesterday was my grandma-bebo's birthday. i want to tell you a little bit about her, since it became a tradition in my blog to talk about people who matter most to me.

bebo was different from cia type of grandma. she was very homely. i don't know if such word exists, but by saying that i mean that she most of all cared about her family. she cared about their being healthy, happy and never hungry.

she would make the tastiest food in the whole world, some of which she invented only for us. her 'antre' was our favourite, a mix of fried dough, cheese and god knows what else, which made this dish absolutely unforgettable. she would make tatara and let us do our weirdly-shaped churchxelas, which never looked like proper ones. and i loved to talk with her. i spent hours sitting by her and telling her all the stories - things i did, boys i liked, friends i had. and she told me old stories about her big family, stories about my mom and uncle's childhood, my own childhood too. i loved those stories. and i love(d) my bebo. and there will never be a D after that word.

i think this has been so far the hardest post for me, because though three years have passed since bebo is not with us anymore, i still can't talk about her without tears in my throat. you know why? because with her my childhood went away too.

i'm sharing with you my old photos from telavi and bebo's house

on this picture i'm on a balcony with a huge can of sand, which my uncle brought me, since i was too little to play alone outside, this was my very own playground :)

that's me and ani's photos in telavi's house
