The definition of beautiful where you are

I see that today I am very productive and eager to share my thoughts with you, guys :)
the past weekend was very productive, as well as all the previous ones. While here I try to spend every day with some purpose, see something do, learn something new :) considering the fact that it's not in Moscow. I can't say that I've travelled half of the globe, But I've been in several in many countries and can compare them, though I think it is silly to compare something. You will always find some pluses and minuses in everything and everywhere. But there are places in the world that really belong to you. Have you ever had a feeling that you feel yourself as if you are at home? well something like this happens with me in Moscow. My first meeting with this city happened 7 years ago and it was the time when I fell in love with it, last year me and my mom visited some friends here. And I've alwasy wanted to live here, or stay for a bit longer than I did. And this year eventually I've got this chance :) It's hard to answer what particularly makes me love this city, but there's "chemistry" between us for sure :) and while here, I feel that I'm falling into it even more :P As if I'm talking about a guy, funny though :P
so, I feel myself very comfortable here and feel sad that I have to leave soon. how beautiful is the architecture here, you should see it, people are so interesting here, they have their own particular thing in everything, their style, and I love it :) the city itself is very intellectual, it seems that every building, street breathes history. Famous people that lived several centuries lived here, went to universities, schools. They still preserve houses of famous writers poets, scientists etc in the very centre of the city. You can observe old buildings living in the neighbourhood with modern edgy skyscrapers called Moscow City. red square is situated in the very heart of the city and awareness that you live in the city where so many historical events took place, about which you have read in the books, gives you amazing feeling. You feel yourself a part of something big. Kazakhstan, my motherland, used to be a part of soviet Union, as well as Russia. So these two countries have a lot of in common, we've been brought up watching movies and listening to music from Moscow and now I have the cnahce to be in the places that I have seen in the movies :) this is awesome. There a lot of saint places here, churches, monasteries here.

We have been lately to the female monastery in the middle of Moscow. It is amazing how in stone jungles you can hide in yhe most quiet place and have time for yourself. That what makes this city special, ability to coincide different things. So, the monastery was really amazing, Priests, pops and deaconesses were there. People praying and newlyweds coming there to marry. So romantic, overall there are a lot of romantic places here. And what is more interesting everybody can find a place that will satisfy him, because there is  avariety of them. Different cuisines, designs, prices, so no matter what taste you have, you will be satisfied, whetehr you prefer a simple place or a fancy one, or something in the middle:) also there are a lot of cultural places here, theatres, endless shows and exhibitions, you wnat to be a part of. you will NEVR be bored in Moscow, even just strolling down the wharf :) alwasy you enrich culturally and intellectually. the only thing that I regret is that I don't have enough time to enjoy all the places. but that is ok even people in Moscwo say that they have a long list of sighseeing sthat are worth seeing :) 

What I value and appreciate now that I didn't before

I ve been reading my first blog, tha was written almost in the beginning of my internship, and where I say that time flies so fast. Now my internship is almost done, and this made me say that time flies really very fast, and we shouldn't waste it, but should appreciate and value it.now concerning personally me, what do I value? That is the question that I have been often asked in my life. People, things, memories, some special issues, overall everything that matters for you, that is critically important for you these are the things you truly value. For me among number one among those things are my mother and my family. They are almost saint people for me, people that I truly appreciate and very afraid to loose. I appreciate my friends those devoted ones that I can always lean on, and believe them sometimes even more than I do believe myself :) All the memories from my childhood, everythng that happened in the past and makes me smile today is very valuable for me. But all those people and things they play very important role in my life. but what I've noticed recently that the older I get, the more I start to appreciate all those small things that surround me, those things that I used to take for granted. Now I realize that everything we have is a blessing and we should appreciate and value every tiny thing. Just look around, random people, beautiful weather, animals, simply nature around us. That is what we should value . I wake up in a good mood when I simply see the sun shining, or even when it is raining. Because I know that the main thing is that you WOKE up, no matter what is the weather outside, you should be grateful for just being alive :) Here in Moscow I've gained and still gaining huge experience in living on my own and making decisions that sometimes can influence other people. and I started to realize how important you sometimes can be. I value the experience that I have gained here in communicating with other people, helping them even in small things, like literally one small call can sometimes be very crucial. And it is up to you, whether you will negotiate successfully or not. honestly I' ve never known that I can be that important :) but  daaamn, this is so cool :) Here, not all people are very pleasant to deal with, no offense but really people sometimes can be rude in the streets, malls etc. What I have learned here is to understand people, and try to find different ways in communicating with them. I value this experience very much, I know that it is and will be even more important for me in the future. every single person needs undertstanding and there must be a reason for him to act the way he does. Try not to judge them but to understand and maybe even help him realize that there are people ready ti help him. Also i am very thankful and appreciate the thing that I am not alone here, my best friend is by my side and understands me better than the others :) well, what else can I say, just share my life's credo " Enjoy each moment, tomorrow may never come" :) this is what i believ in and advice you to :) VALUE every little thing, because big images are made of small ones :) take care :)
