Baba Marta workshop

March is just a few days away. The female month! And the great Bulgarian celebration - Baba Marta on the 1st of March. We had to do martenitzi and I am glad I got this opportunity. My grandmother is a master in making martenitzi and she`s been dealing with this craft every year since I was a little child. So it`s kind of a legacy - she used to teach me some techniques in the past, but now that I live far from her, I hadn`t made any martenitzi in a while.  I felt good filling my mind with those pleasant memories while braiding the white and the red threads together today!

St.Valentine`s Day Celebration


Valentines Day. What a beautiful day. Roses. Hearts. Chocolates. Smiles. Hugs. Kisses. Love. Passion. Happiness. What`s not to enjoy today? It was a real surprise when Mrs. Petarcheva came to our classroom with a bunch of red balloons! I gave her a cat-baloon in return, haha, but it was sweet. Even if you are single, like I am, it`s amazing how positive you may stay during the whole day. The most important thing is - to have somebody to give a heart baloon to, someone to hug and someone to laugh with, that`s what friends are for! :)

Club Fitness training

I had played volleyball, football, basketball, tennis, etc a million times, but I had never before trained in a fitness hall. Our school PE teacher made me a training program to keep fit for the upcoming prom: 15 minutes of treadmill, 15-25 minutes of stepper, then exercises for lower, mid and higher abs, for legs and for arms. It is good being in shape, even if you don`t train for losing weight - you must be fit. I still prefer running outside in the nature, but there is no other motivation like the one in the Fitness hall, seeing all the people work hard for themselves.
