Who run the world- GIRLS!

Sister Session – ONLINE PREMIERE! from Simple Session on Vimeo.

A few days back this short movie came online. It`s about the Sister Session competition that took place at last years Simple Session. I think it is really inspirational and a good example of working hard and doing your best to succeed. I remember when they announced that there will be a girls competition at Simple Session, I was one of the skeptics at first thinking what will this bring to the competition. I have been kinda involved with the simple session franchise for almost 10 years. Helped organize the event for 7 years and now have been a big supporter afterwards. I have seen all the amazing tricks over the years. How in the beginning one single backflip was and amazing thing to witness to now seeing double frontflips. This is where sister session sort of took me back in time but surely not in a bad way. It was so inspirational to see how these girls have practiced to be at the same course as the boys. And to see the first female to pull of a backflip at a bmx competition pretty much brought a tear to my eye. I remember thinking that this is freaking amazing that girls can do this too. The tears were back watching this short movie. I strongly recommend watching this movie which reminds us that you can do anything you want if you believe in yourself and you work hard for it. Enjoy! Simple Session is coming back this year 16-17th of March in Tallinn, Estonia. Check out their website, facebook page, instagram and twitter! Kris

Just being me.


    I have started and stopped this blog post 3 times. Shows that I have a lot to say but not a lot of words coming out of me. I have been awful in blogging lately but I have some good reasons. This January has been quite a challenge. And that is putting it mildly. Who knew all the life changing stuff would be happening so early on this year. :D Jokes aside I have learned a lot about myself this January and not to bore you with all the details I think I can put my new knowledge to use and hope that it will only go up from here on. I have learned that in the end you just have to be yourself and trust your instincts and you have to trust what is best for you. You have to surround yourself with positive energy and positive people and even if life isn`t all hearts and flowers all the time it also isn´t about worrying all the time. I worry a lot and I should stop that. Let`s just say I should take life easier sometimes.
   January is almost over and I actually couldn`t be happier. I don`t remember a month that intense in a while. But I am still hopeful that February is gonna be a lot more fun. Fingers crossed :)

Ain`t nobody`s business.

 

   It was an intense weekend. Got to spend quality time with my friends who once again proved that they are simply awesome and I don`t really know what I would do without them. :)
   On a deeper note this weekend brought a bit of clarity into my life. I`ve been struggling with some insecurities lately due to the fact that I`ve gotten burned a bit being too brave (if there is such a thing). So I`ve been sort of emotional lately. This weekend the combination of alcohol and some stuff that had been going on sent me over the edge and I crumbled. Hadn`t cried for a while now (which is totally not like me :D) and it all sort of came out of me. But I didn`t feel like it was a bad thing because after I finally let my demons go I could see some stuff more clearly. Yes, this sounds a lot like some new age healing bullshit but in my case it really was true. I realized once again that as long as there are different people, there are different personalities. You can`t change someone just for the sake of wanting to like them more. That is not how it works. And you can´t let other people`s stuff get to you that easily. I have to admit that some stuff in my life has changed and in the end I wasn`t really responsible for it myself so why blame myself for it. I learned that I have to accept my friends just like they are and there are people in the world that don`t like you and that is totally fine because it would be boring otherwise. :p Some friendships are really important to me and I have to hope that they still will be in good times and bad. I hope my friends can accept me for who I am even if that means I get a meltdown every now and then and they have to listen me wining about it :D
   So here`s to sort of a new start in accepting people for who they are and also accepting the situations that you can`t control and dealing with them gracefully. :) Appreciate the ones that mean the most to you and don`t let random people dictate your good life.

Have you heard...

...about the Punch Brothers. They are a group from Brooklyn, NY. I have heard them before but had forgotten all about them until I saw their performance on "Conan" yesterday. I think they are really awesome and I am totally hooked again. Check out their music on soundcloud or youtube ;)

I just wanna say THANK YOU!



  Seekord teeme selle kõik eesti keeles, et kõik aru saaksid. Tahaksin siinkohal teha väikese tänupostituse kõikidele nendele erilistele inimestele, kes tegid mu sünnipäeva pidustused eriliseks ja suurepäraseks. List ei ole mingis tähtsuse järjekorras vaid täpselt nii nagu mul meelde tulevad asjad:

1. Aitäh FitLife`i meeskond ägeda esimese sünnipäeva peo puhul. Bowling oli täiega fun, peab kordama. Aitäh Ristole, kellega koos jagasime sünnipäevalise rolli. Aitäh kõigile, kes kohale tulid :)

2. Aitäh Kristale ja Kaisale, kes mind shootersis tõstsid mingi 7x üles sünnipäeva puhul. Tugevad eesti naised mulle meeldivad :D

3.Aitäh emmele, kes tegi valmis eriti hea võileivatordi, mis söödi ülikiirelt ära.

4.Aitäh issile, kes parandas korteris enne pidu nagid ära, et inimesed saaks jopesid riputada. Ja nagid püsisid, nii et hea töö :D

5.Aitäh Carl Ericule, kellega sai mu sünnipäeva päeval Arena lastebasseinis täiega nalja :D

6.Aitäh Kadrile, kes tõi enne eilset pidu mulle triikraua, et saaksin kleidi sirgeks triikida.

7.Aitäh Alvarile, kes tegi suurima üllatuskõne terve päeva jooksul. Peab põnev olema noh ;)

8.Aitäh Rissele, kes alati paneb tähele, mis ma räägin ja tänu millele sain ma suurepärase kingituse sõpradelt.

9.Aitäh sõbrad, kes käisid eile õhtul siin väikses korteris ja pidutsesid nii, et vaip vajab keemilist puhastamist ja hommikune koristus võttis aega 2,5h :D Teiega on alati lõbus ja lahe ja nalja saab nabani. Ja te meeldite mulle ikka väga väga väga! Aitäh! PS! Jooki jäi üle, nii et kuna jätkame? :D

10. AITÄH kõikidele neile, võib isegi öelda sadadele, õnnitlussoovidele, mis jõudsid minuni läbi facebooki ja läbi sms-i ja läbi telefoni ja isiklikult. Ausõna ma hindan neid kõiki nii väga ja olen südamest tänulik, et mind meeles pidasite sellel toredal päeval! Aitäh, aitäh, aitäh!!!! Muah!


Väike ülevaade sünnipäevast piltide näol peaks ka varsti jõudma siia blogisse nii et jääge ootele.
aitäh!

It`s not even my birthday... yet ;)




   My last day as a 25-year old. Feels old. And getting older. Don`t like it at all. :D But if there is one thing besides weather you can`t change it`s the fact we all get older. I`m thinking age is just a number because I don`t feel like 26 , definitely don`t act like one so I should be good for the upcoming year, don´t you think?! :D This year I didn`t want to celebrate my birthday but my friends had other plans so turns out I will be celebrating for the next 2 days starting this evening with bowling. Fun! I`ll keep you posted how the weekend went.Wish me luck and let`s go! ;)

2012 review in music and movies and books

 

 I thought it might be a fun idea to make a little list of my 2012 favorites in music and movies. And also a book series recommendation. Maybe you will find something you like ;) So here we go.

MUSIC

Best international albums
6.Michael Kiwanuka "Home Again"
5.Christina Aguilera "Lotus"
4.Alicia Keys "Girl on Fire"
3.Ellie Goulding "Halycon"
2.Rihanna "Unapologetic"
1. Frank Ocean "Channel Orange"- https://soundcloud.com/frank-ocean
   It was a great year in international music. A lot of good albums. That`s why I couldn`t just do a top 3. :D Frank Ocean was the surprise treasure of the year. The album is SO good from beginning to end. I seriously recommend it to anybody who appreciates good music at its best.

Best estonian albums
3.Chalice "Lärmakas naabrimees"
2.Põhja-Tallinn "Per aspera ad astra"
1.Sander Mölder "Matches EP" - https://soundcloud.com/sander
    Estonias music scene is blossoming and it`s a pleasure to watch. There are a lot of good albums out there already and these are my 3 favorites that came out this year. I also wanted to put Planeet  in this list but I haven`t gotten the chance to listen to their album yet. Sander Mölder is an amazing estonian dj who released his EP album this april. His sound is really innovative and he also remixes good tunes.


MOVIES
5.Twilight "Breaking Dawn part II" (so glad the saga is over :D)
4. 21 Jump Street
3. Step up 4
2. Skyfall
1. The Intouchables  - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34WIbmXkewU
   I saw my number one movie on the second to last day of 2012 but I wanted to see it since it came out. It is simply the best movie I`ve seen maybe ever. If you haven`t seen it, it`s a must. They sell dvd-s in every bookstore and music store so go get it and see this movie! :D

BOOKS
1.-3. Fifty Shades of Grey series
-Fifty Shades of Grey
-Fifty Shades Darker
-Fifty Shades Freed

   I`ve read all these books 4 times by now. I think that says it all. :D

What are your favourites? Let me know ;)

The end of the yes-year and the beginning of 2013!




   Last night we sent away 2012 and welcomed the new year. This also means it`s the official end to the year of the yes. It has been pretty awesome but I must say I didn`t complete all of my goals this year. Which in this case means I still have good things happening in 2013. If there is one thing I learned from this year it`s that you can`t be afraid of trying new things and I will definitely keep on doing that. I will also keep my blog but this time around it will become just a simple blog where I will post amazing stuff about my life :D I hope you will keep on reading it because I think the year of the yes kinda changed my outlook on life in a good way and exciting times are ahead. Last year my new years resolution was to say yes a lot more, this year my resolution is to ENJOY and make it happen, zookie zookie! :D
