Revival

Oh my god I wanted to write a blog post for such a long time! I have so much to tell you, but just can't find a minute to sit down and write it all down. Even now, I'm in a car going to Chichester for the weekend to work at Revival!
First thing, I bought tickets to go back to Lithuania for Christmas and New years. Well, kind of for Christmas, because I'm flying out on the 26th. This summer, since I stayed in the UK I realized that work and money is not on my priority list. Of course, it is something that you have to make time to to have an opportunity to even buy tickets to fly back, but I missed last Christmas and I worked on last New years eve and I think deserve it.

~~~
When I was typing this, my friend asked me " did we lost you to basketball? " (because I was watching the game but since the signal on the highway is crap, I decided to write a blog post). And then I thought I should just enjoy this moment being with my colleagues while singing loudly in the car. Now I'm back at home and finally having some time to sit down and write the post.
Even though the weekend was amazing it was also extremely tiring. I know I earned a lot of money by doing 14-15 hours a day, but yet again sometimes it just feels that it is not worth it. Anyway, I'm just glad it ended.

Back in March I worked with the company in the trailers for the first time and I wrote a post as well.
 We went to Chichester, West Sussex. I worked in Goodwood Organic Food van for two days as a cashier. Wore silly uniform. Got completely exhausted. But still, coming back to our caravan after a long shift and having diner with my co-workers was really awesome.
That is what I wrote back then and even though the people were different this time, I felt the same harmony being in a warm caravan with my friends just chilling, having a glass of wine and watching big bang theory after exhausting day at work.

I sincerelly wanted to write a lot, every single day something happened that I wanted to write about for the past few weeks, but right now I just I can't think of anything important enough. That is why I have to write more often, I forget these simple little things that make my day look brighter so fast. I need to keep them in my blog, so if one day comes and I would be in an awful mood, I could just  open my blog and feel that it is actually just one of those days and it gets better.

I will put some embarrassing photos just because of that reason. Cause you never know, it might get deleted somehow from my computer one day and maybe it will stay on this blog for way longer.
PS I have this bruise on my face that is annoying the crap out of me. And no, I'm not so hard core, I didn't get into a street fight or something. I just simply hit my face in to the handle of my bike while I was fixing the pedals and I was in a hurry. Seriously, I'm like Ross from Friends, ' I bruise like a peach' ( to be honest, my whole legs and arms are covered in bruises I have no idea where from).

PPS. Someone thought I'm from New Zealand this past weekend. I never got that before in my life.

paintball & Manchester

Currently I'm sitting in my bed with my new favorite black hoodie from Primark men section with half straighten hair and no make up on while listening to music through new earphones. And it actually feels really good.
I have to tell you about the recent trips I had.
On Tuesday, 18th, our office organised the trip to Paintball! We visited Delta Force near Birmingham. It was an interesting experience. Even though I ended up with some hurtful bruises on my legs and arms, I spent the time with my colleagues, whom I can easily call my friends now. 
If you want to feel some adrenaline Paintball is definitely a place to go, but it can get a bit dangerous sometimes. The masks we had to wear were quite uncomfortable and tight sometimes and it was really temping to take it off, but we were not allowed to since if you get a 'paint bullet' in your eye, you can go blind. 





On Wednesday, five of us girls decided to visit Manchester. Comparing my other trips to Bristol or Brighton, I would have to say that I was not that impressed with Manchester, but to be honest I feel like weather was probably the factor that kinda ruined it. When we got off the coach the sun was shining and we all bought breakfast and coffee and sat in the first park we saw on the grass and it was amazing. We started walking around the streets, visited a few shops and galleries, but later on it started to rain. Regardless, we spend the last few hours sitting in wetherspoons talking about life and stuff, as you do. I would definitely consider visiting Manchester again, but next time I need to do the proper research what to do and see in the city.

new lust

i have been staring at this blank page for a while.

i had a really awesome night yesterday. It was one of my work friends last day in Birmingham for a while so we decided to go to a pub. to be honest, it was just another excuse to drink, since we have just a few shifts during the week. it ended up as a house party at my place. it was really weird seeing that many people in our kitchen drinking, in the garden smoking and in the living room dancing.

the song that's currently playing on my iTunes is saying 'don't think about it too much, this is more than just a new lust for you'.
I was talking to my friend about last night and I was really excited to tell her about everything that happened and stuff, but now as I'm rethinking the whole night I feel I'm getting back to that 'depressed-i-need-love' phase. I don't want to go back to that. NEVER AGAIN.

I'm also thinking about working on a new header and background for the blog. I'm pretty sure it's time to switch it up a bit, because I believe I haven't changed it since beginning of 2014.


this picture is from the comedy night we had at work. boy was it interesting atmosphere and experience. proper British.


finally found the T-Shirt I was looking for a long time. my essence.

follow my snapchat by the way: tvixy

new bikes and friday nights

Stoviu po dangum, aš bandau prisiminti
Ką reiškia atsimerkt ir norėt nenumirti

It's a bit weird that I enjoy this Lithuanian pop song so much. Don't know what it is, but the beat just relaxes me. 


so Karaoke was fun! I'm pretty sure it was the first time I tried a drink from these types of glasses. That's why me and Gratsiela kept posing for pictures, but only one of them is good enough to post :D Just noticed Becky photobombing the photo, hahaha! 

On saturday I had a 13 hour shift at Silverstone. I swear, I love the team there. There were so many 'Friends' references between my colleagues during the shift, I was amazed. Including 'Mark bruises like a peach' and 'I'm not touching you, can't get mad *in a proper Chandler's voice*.  The whole place has an awesome atmosphere. 

I can now understand why British people love their cuppa so much ( cup of tea for the rest of the world :D). Honestly, there's nothing better, that having a cup of tea after you get back from the city/work/errands drenched. It has been raining non stop for a few days that you don't even realize anymore. Literally, I walked out of my house today with sunglasses in my hand expecting some sun. I desperately needed umbrella instead. But the good news is I got a bike! Me and Kristina were trying to find this vintage/thrift market. Bought new bikes and it was only 30 pounds - a steal!

bed or a pub

yesterday was such a nice day, comparing to this rainy morning.


in the evening, I got an offer to go to a pub and at first I said no, cause I'm going out today. But when I thought that I could be socializing with people rather than watching friends in my bed again, I thought, screw it. And I'm really glad I did, because while we were talking, we realized that one girl is looking for a flat as same as me, and now there's 3 of us. Which makes it possible to rent the flat we kept our eyes on since May. Oh God, I really want that particular house. And we made plans to go to a theater to see a play, because one of our friends is an actor. And we made plans to finally go and buy bicycles, which I'm craving for since May as well :))
No pictures from the pub though. But I will be talking loads of pictures tonight. Well, I hope so. I'm planning to dye my hair (just the roots need doing, nothing too crazy) and wearing my new dress, which somehow makes me really excited. It's going to be a Karaoke night that our office is organizing. Should be fun!
Also, leaving your freshly washed clothes outside in the garden through the whole night hoping it won't rain in England is not a good idea.

Nike vs Vans

Recently I started to realize that I'm starting to forget all the different shifts I had. All the memories from work during 2014 are starting to fade. And I missed my blog. So I thought that even short posts are nice to have on my blog.
Yesterday I worked at Hilton St. George. Serving dinner to Americans from shoe company Nike. I swear, it was so nice to hear a proper american accent. And it does sound exactly like from the movies. I heard one young lady saying ' you should go to New York and then get a flight to LA' . *trying to make an american accent; completely failing*.
and the day before that, I decided that I want to go back to my lovely Vans. I'm glad that I can go into the shop and buy my favorite shoes. I worked for it.
accidentally listening to this now, laying in my bed, all cosy.



And also, I wanted to share this article. Every single sentence defines me. I'm guessing I'm not the only one then. http://www.idealistrevolution.org/how-to-love-a-girl-who-doesnt-know-how-to-be-loved/

:)

it's the end of July and my life is completely different than it used to be. I'm not really OK with it. But I will be, soon.
also, I read a few of the latest posts of mine and ffs I make so many grammar and spelling mistakes.
and I haven't shared my vlog from Field day festival weekend, which is kinda weird.
so yeah, things been hectic.
and  I really want to book a trip somewhere. even if it's in the UK. I WANNA GO PLACES.
but I need to sort some things out.
