#monthly favorites: May

Igas kuus on mõned asjad, mida kasutan teistest rohkem või mis on kuidagi erilisemad. Maikuu lemmikud on siin :)

//Every month I have some things that I use more than others, some things that are more special. So, here are my May favorites: 

Book: Looking For Alaska - I loved this book so much. John Green writes so stunningly. It's an easy read, but it has deeper message in it.

Snack: Reese Peanut Butter Cups - I have a love/hate relationship with peanut butter. I like it once, and then I dislike it. But I have figured out the reason: I like peanut butter only with some other thing (not just peanut butter on bread..there must be banana too.). My favorites are Reese's cups because chocolate and peanut butter are perfect together!!!!

Music: The 1975 - I mostly listen to the same music and same old artists. But recently I have been loving this band The 1975. Their songs are so smoothing and I like to listen to their music when I am out running :)

TV show: Modern Family - Most of my other favorite shows have a season break, but Modern Family was still going on. No other show can make me more laugh than that!!!

Entertainment: PS3 move - Ever since we bought Playstation 3 I have been wanting the move sensor. And in the end of April we bought it. And it came with sport games that I have been loving! My favorites are table tennis and volleyball!

Home item: coasters - We bought very nice coasters from Paris. I love using coasters because it secures that hot tea cups won't make any marks on a table :)

Lip product: Elisabeth Arden 8 hours lip cream - this lip cream is just sooo good! I also like to put it to dry spots on my face or around my nails. 

Activity: running - I was getting ready for Naisten Kymppi (10km running even for women), so I went running every other day.. mostly ran 3-4 km each time. I like to run when the weather is nice :) After running the feeling is just so great!!!

Food: quinoa - I ate it for the first time in May and totally fell in love. It tastes so good and it's perfect for dinner or for breakfast :D

Accessory: sunglasses - I have never been a big sunglasses wearer. But ever since I had a laser surgery for my eyes to get my perfect sight back I have been taking more care of my eyes. Doctor said that sunglasses are very important when it's sunny and you need to protect your eyes. So, I bought new sunnies and I have been loving them :)

Book review: Looking for Alaska

Lugesin hiljuti John Green'i raamatut "Looking for Alaska". See oli teine J. Greeni raamat, mida ma lugenud olen. Pean ütlema, et taaskord on ta fantastiliselt kirjutanud. Tema kirjaviis, sõnade voolavus, huvitavad ja ebaharilikud karakteris on nii paeluvad. Lugesin raamatu läbi mõne päevaga (rongiga tööle sõites ja töölt koju sõites). Kuigi tegelased on gümnaasiumi viimases klassis, siis see raamat pole sugugi tüüpiline teismelistele mõeldud teos. Selles raamatus on nii palju enamat!

Lugu räägib kõhnast ja kahvatust poisist hüüdnimega Pudge, kes läheb internaatkooli ning tutvub Colonel'iga (tema toakaaslane) ning Alaskaga. Alaska on tüdruk, kes lummab Pudge'i oma kauni välimuse ja ebatavalise iseloomuga. Nad saavad hästi läbi ning Pudge loodab muudkui sõprusest midagi enamat. Aga ta teab, et Alaskal on poiss-sõber olemas. Tegevustikus toimub väga palju huvitavat, kuid lõpuks jõuab asi selleni, et Alaska ja Pudge suudlevad. Järgmisel hetkel Alaska tormab minema, ütleb, et peab kuhugi sõitma (kuigi on juua täis). Järgmise hommikul selgub, et Alaska sai autoavariis surma. Pudge ja Colonel tunnevad süüdi, et lasid tal juua täis peaga autorooli istuda. Kuid nad ei tea, kuhu Alaska minna tahtis..ning just seda nad uurima hakkavadki. Pool raamatut ongi nö enne Alaska surma, pool raamatut peale Alaska surma. See on tõeline lugu sõprusest, koolielust ja lollustest. Kuid selles on midagi veel suuremat, erilisemat. Loe ja saa teada :)

//About a week or more ago I read John Green's book "Looking for Alaska". It was the second book of J. Green that I read. I must say it was again very well writtened. Although the story is of high school students, he still writes the story somehow maturely so you don't feel you are reading a typical teenager novel. I truly admire Green's ability to great such a funny and unique characters and plot. 

The story is about a guy who's nickname is Pludge. He goes to a new boarding school where he meets Colonel (his roommate) and a girl named Alaska. He liked Alaska a lot. She's gorgeous, outgoing ect. Pudge on the other hand is skinny, pale and looks like a typical nerd you can find. But they are friends and more than once Alaska says compliments towards Pudge that makes him feel special. One night they kiss. That's the night when Alaska dies. Basically half of the book is BEFORE she dies and half is AFTER she's died. After Alaska's death Colonel and Pudge feel resbonsible and they start to investigate what happened to her (they knew she died in a car crash, but they didn't know why she took of in the middle of the night..where was she driving??). It's a compelling story of true friendship, lots of laughter, pranks, high school life ect. Yet there's something bigger in there. What? Read and find out :) //

Down here is one of the many quotes that Pudge said in the book:
