Did you watch *The Eurovision Song Contest 2013*? If you did, what songs did you consider to be the best? Do you think that voting is usually fair in this competiton?

That weekend – about 10 days ago – I had marvelous plans to meet with my girlfriend and then to go on my friend-girl B-day party. However, my friend-girl changed her mind and all my hopes was destructed in one moment. I walked with girlfriend, then I called Sam, my best friend. We decided to hang over at his place. We bought coconut liquor "Malibu" and pineapple juice. When we came to his apartments, we drunk some Pina-Coladas. It was very sweet, so we decided to drink some vine. I remember, I've opened the vine while it was playing Greece's song. We liked it. When we finished second bottle, Sam said he doesn't feel well, so he went to sleep. I took his laptop, turned the TV volume down and listened to some really good music. When the election was over, I was surprised, because Top 5 songs sounded in one way!!! I think Eurovision is mostly for politics, shows and money, voting iand the songs are really hypocritical. Listen to the Rock!

The summer is coming. What are your plans for summer? Are you ready for it?
I'm really looking forward for summer to come! That's hard to plan all the summer in advance as everything may change and as my plans depend on many factors including the plans of my family and friends. However, I definitely know how I'm going to spend one month of my summer: I'm going to the New-York City. Even though I have already been there there is still a lot to see in New York. 
Actually, I have plenty of plans for my trip. As I'm traveling with my friends, I guess it's going to be much fun. In addition to visiting loads of places of interest. I love New York. I think it is the best city in the world. I've already been there. I liked it. This city is beautiful. I lived in a high hotel. On the 24th floor. The view was magnificent. I walked on the crossroad of Broadway and the Fifth. I saw the Triangle. I liked it. I saw many New-Yorkers. They are funny and cool. I love them. Hello to New-Yorkers!

How do you celebrate (if you the celebrate) the 9th of May? What is your attitude to the fact that many people now consider this holiday (and not only this) as a reason to gather and drink?

This 9th May I celebrated in a strange form: a very loud noise awaked me after a good night. I recognized the parade sounds and remembered it's 9th May. To tell the truth, I don't feel strong emotions of this day; in ,y opinion, people celebrate it in the wrong way. For example,they could help the veterans or keep a silence for a minute. This holiday isn't so actual as it was when there was a veteran of this war in every family or in every house; for them it is/was a really important date. Nowadays for many people it's just a reason to drink, an extra free day. It's their choice what to do at 9th May,  for me the problem of hypocrisy is more significant: I saw a lot of congrats of  veterans on Facebook, VK (russian Facebook), Twitter and Instagram or on cars' windows like "Thank Grandfather for the victory" or "Thank veterans". Maybe people think, that it looks pretty, but it's awful. 

Themes for blog #13.

1) Describe the best Christmas or New Year party you've ever visited.
2) What is your very holiday?
3) How do you feel about the May 1 and May 9?

#12 (Ksenia's topic #1. Do you watch any serial? If you do, which one? What do you think about the serials in general?)

Now I'm watching just 2 series - "The Games of Thrones" and "How I Met Your Mother". These series are not the best I've ever seen, but they are rather interesting - the first is very long and has a great plot and characters, the second one is really funny and hilarious. What do I think about the series in general? I think it is a comfortable and easy way to get a big amount of pleasure. There are two ways of watching series, one is when the series has a lot of seasons and series, and the second is when each episode comes out once a week. I love the first way. I can enjoy a great feeling of reading a good book, when I don't need to stop and wait for the new series. I love some series like "The Sopranos". I would like there would be more series based on books I've read or the films I've watched and liked - most of plots have an option of being continued.

 I would like to talk about the summer and how it's important for me. I'm really waiting for the vacation. I have no certain plan's but I think the studying will stop for a couple of months. That's a big pleasant for me. Because I have already get pissed of doing homework's, not sleeping at nights learning hard things, living in fear of failing the subjects. Well, these feelings visit me everyday for last three weeks. And i'm really thinking of making the vacation this Thursday, or celebrate the Day of Bicycle this Friday. It's already warm, but it isn't hot enough to wear only T-shirt, it is snow everywhere. Also I've a birthday at the end of May. And there would be some festivals of Russian movies, I'm going to watch one of my favorite Russian film - "Green Elephant". It's rude and cruel, but it shows the changes in psychology of army officers. True art house. Well, that would be the greatest event of this summer.

#10 (Ildar's theme #1).

What would you prefer: the life of a billionaire with a lot of troubles in the New York or the life of some poor guy with everything you need to have a good life in Hawaii?

Let's count some pros and contras of first and second opportunity. 

Living in NY:

Pros:

• You have a lot of friends.
• You have a whole level in a skyscraper, where you have liquors and drug.
• Drive a GTO.
• You have so many really pretty girlfriends.
• You have so many ways to spend time.
• EVERY MOMENT you can move to Hawaii.

Contras:

• The friends and girlfriends are mostly fake, they love your money, not you.
• Even the medicine is perfect, smoking and drugs kill you.
• Maybe, inside you are really sad.

Living in Hawaii.
Pros: 

• You are happy.
• You have a good life.

Contras:

• You are poor and you can't become a billionaire from NY.

So, I would like to live in NY and have everything for a good life. A couple bags of dollars won't be extra.
