MOMENTS

"The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough." - Rabindranath Tagore

The 2-week holiday is over. I'm not sad but not really happy about it either because I like school but it gets stressful from time to time. I've always been told how I should enjoy the time while I'm still studying and now as I'm studying in 12th grade, I'm slowly starting to realize why studying is great - high school is easy.
The year isn't starting in a slow pace as I hoped for. Instead, I've been busting my ass off to finish my research work and study physics myself and teach the younger ones (shoutout to Merili and Mariel). Mathematics is easy but somehow I found it hard when I tried to mentor Kristel. Anyway, besides studying I've had fun too.

While I'm working on her homework, she uses my skin to practise drawing skills - can't complain

One night I decided to go out and play pool with my guys. It was splendid. The other night I had a board game night with my friends/classmates at my lad Erik's place. We played RISK and I won. I don't even remember when was the last time I played a board game. I mean the proper one, not just cards. Lucky at games, unlucky in love.

As the ground is covered with ice and snow, I really can't miss the chance to constantly allocate my money to fill the gas tank of my car due heavy drifting (at least that's how it looks to me). We also took a road trip to nowhere with Mark, Simon, Caspar and Merili and suddenly saw a sign with "Ürgmets" (primeval forest) written on it. It was late. Of course, adventurous as we are we thought it would be awfully awesome to visit the forest at night. We teased Merili by going deeper and deeper into the forest off-tracks. Unforgettable moments.

Most of my readers know that my best friend Mark loves to take photos and film everything. Now, he made a short video which includes different clips of the past two years. We've had a great time together with our main squad and I just love the video. I definately recom.. I insist you to watch it!

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

So, the year has ended and it's already been a full week of 2017. 2016 was a good year. I finally understood that I'm a grown up and have to think about my future more and thanks to these thoughts, I kept myself busy and active by taking courses and studying. Even though my parents have said that I concentrate on my social life too much, I find it balanced - my grades are great and I do my chores at home regularly (in my opinion).

But what I'm proud of the most is that I had the motivation and inspiration to start this blog. It's been almost a year now since I started it and I find it really great that I haven't stopped so far. The blog isn't popular but I somehow managed to get into the local newspaper Sakala and from time to time I get some positive feedback from my readers and damn it feels good when that happens.
I made many friends and aquintances this year but I realized the importance of close friends. It's good to have contacts but everyone needs to have someone to lean on or share impressions with. I'm glad that I have my best friends still surrounding me.

Best moments of 2016 were mostly in the summer - work, Weekend Festival, media seminar, Folk festival, sauna nights with friends. Furthermore, Simple Session 16 was lit and we managed to took a picture with Courage Adams who is my favorite BMX rider. We're definately going to SS this year too. There were many more cool activities and events that I can re-experience by reading my blog.

For me, 2016 was a Year of Self-improvement

Furthermore, I'm going to list my top 3 favorite posts of my blog and a few videos which I haven't posted in here yet.

So many memories, so many thoughts. These were the posts I like the most but for example Weekend Festival was also unforgettable but the post should've been written better. I just didn't have enough time to focus on writing the post about the festival at the media seminar. To fulfill the potential on describing my moments and memories, I have some videos of the past year.

"Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection." - Winston Churchill

It's Christmas and New Year's Eve that's on our minds right now. Christmas was joyful as always and besides spending quality time with mi familia, I shared Christmas happiness with my friend Merili too. My mom finally told my brother that Santa Claus doesn't exist but yea, he knew that already. Furthermore, I restarted my gym membership because you know after Christmas I have to lift those extra kilos down.
Before going to a 2-week holiday, I attended a school ball. The party was themed after cartoons and dresscode was also some cartoon character. I dressed myself up as Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. and when I arrived I saw something inevitable - most of the guests didn't follow the dresscode rules and came in suits and dresses. Thankfully, I wasn't the only one dressed up like a mascot of a football game. There were a few others. At the ball, we also won 3 Oscars with our film.

However, talking more about the 24th. After reading poems to Santa with my family, I met up with Merili and we went to my place. We had an awesome night with Merili. We stayed up till 7 a.m - the night mostly consisted of singing, dancing and talking. We had some weirds thoughts about going to swim because we thought it would've been memorable Christmas if we went swimming that day. Fortunately, we were smart enough to not get ourselves sick for the remaining holiday. It was one of the best Christmas I've ever had.
