Plan With Me #2

Plan with me #1

Yearly and January spreads.

Hello, kiddos. 

Welcome to my new series where I attempt to plan and make you feel better about yourself  'cause I'm lazy and I don't know what to do so you can do better than me. 

Let's get started. I'm using my old notebook from 2016 because it has lots of blank pages left and I don't want to waste them. That's why it has some of my favourite quotes on it. However, I put it in a new cover where I store all kinds of useful (and not so) things. 

Now, first of all, here's my first two pages of 2017. Yeah, they don't look very artsy and cool but it works for me. On the left you can see a table to witch I'll come every month and colour in "points" with which I'm satisfied that month. My goal is to reach 10 in every point and that would (really) be great. On the right I attempted to make a "first try" NY resolutions list but as you can tell, I altered it a lot, mainly because I wrote 4 pages of detailed description of each goal and what should be done to reach it. If you want to take a look at it, I'll leave a link for the post where I talk about it all.

Also there are some yearly spreads now, yay, more things to remember, hahaha.  

The first one is, as I said, 4 pages of detailed breakdown of my goals for the year.

Second is for keeping in touch with my friends because I really struggle with it all the time. Sometimes I won't see a friend for over a year which is stupidly awful so, you know, gotta up those social skills.

Third is for the cultural and spiritual side so I finally get to remember what I've read, watched and got inspired by for the whole year. Honestly, by now I've watched so many series and anime that I can't sometimes remember if I've seen some other ones or not. I also have a tendency of starting and never finishing books as I pick up new exciting books and start reading them simultaneously and consequently forget to end one of them.

Fourth is my "future log" which I created to keep up with some future events and appointments and plan in advance. First three months are detailed but I'm starting to feel like it's not really working for me.

Finally, monthly spread. It's quite simple and minimal. Colourful stickers for dates do really make it look better but let me tell you a secret, I only did this because I messed up the original dates, yay to me. I left out some space on the left for notes and on the bottom for goals. Ah, see that light green sticker in the right top conner? That's where I write down my indicators for some things I do so I can later draw it in calendar on the day I did it and keep track of stuff.

Rather simple trackers here so nothing needs to be explained.

Hey. It's finally winter, yay. I feel like now I can officially justify me spending money on wintery/christmasy smelling things like hand creams, candles and etc. 

Btw, not feeling like writing a lot today, so just gonna put it out there - I believe in ghosts, demons, extrasensory and all that "spooky" stuff as well as in parallel universes and lots of weird theories about us and the world we live in. What do you think about it? Do you believe in Mandela effect?

Oh, look, there's a random tissue, what a find. What mysteries it holds? No one knows

Mad Aesthetics

Hey, here I'm with somewhat random post again. Actually, I was planning to talk about my favourite commercials for some time but then I though that no one needs it and then I accidentally watched one of them and just opened the gates to endless void of my most precious aesthetically pleasing videos that I've carefully collected over the years but none of my friends seem to like it as much as I do, so there it is, I came to you, creatures of the internet, to spill it out and seek a confirmation that I'm not mad yet.

Please enjoy my little compilation, excluding a lot of shortfilms and some other videos because it would've literally taken forever to watch all of it.

Starting with my ultimate dream aka Sergei Polunin whom I sure you've heard about million times

Can't get enough of it and honestly can't wait to go see him live too, I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack or something. Speaking about beautiful men, take a look at these two

Then of course Luca Fersko and his pretentious deep and spontaneous creation

Let's keep the theme going with this fashionable videos

Who said Lucky Blue? Every girl 'cause he's damn hot

Speaking about hot guys, not everyday and everywhere you see such a cluster of handsome, cool and just gorgeous boys

Now, when we safely made it so far (maybe not 'cause it's not just wet, we're drowning), just take a few minutes to appreciate and remind yourself of dis "solo" beautifulness

I know, I know it hurts so much because it simultaneously so unbelievably cool but also so so painful but don't dare die here, I've got you covered with one of my most fav sketches of all time

Do you think we're done with music videos, well, hell no. My russian heart is forever deeply connected with Kamikaze because it is so close so true 

Okay okay okay

Before it is too much, let me just show you those commercials I was talking about earlier 

 And finally two glorious and inspirational videos for you, lads 

So now there's the question. Does the fact that I can live my life just by watching these videos instead of eating, going out, doing anything, does it make me a pretentious egoistic typical white ass bitch? Maybe, maybe... but I don't care 'cause this is my love this is my life 

I'm done 

Bye 

Ivanka, out

Cinematic #1 (Jan to May)

Hello, friends)))

As typical as it may seem but I also have some new year Resolutins and one of them was to watch 100 cinematographic creations this year. It is indeed a variation on 100 movies but as I'm craving series and some animated things as well I deicded to count all of it.

I now offer you to join me on my way as I will update you on things that I've watched or am watching so maybe you will be able to find something for yourself.
I know, I'm kinda running late with, because it's past 5 months already but hey I've whole summer ahead of me.

Take a look at things I've watched throughout these 5 months. In no particular order:

1. 10 things I hate about you (movie, 1999)

It is rather a light-watching movie. I did enjoy it but there's nothing really so new about it but it's still classic. Just an old good reminder that we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Overall go for it if you wanna relax on the rainy evening.

2. Penelope (movie, 2007)

Quiet the same as the previous movie I talked about with a little different view on it. Go for it if you are a fan of Mr. McAvoy like me.

3. One Day (movie, 2011)

Well that's the movie I'd want to draw your attention to. I really loved it. It reminds me of that french movie I once watched. Not to mention stunning Anne Hathaway and the perfect couple that she makes with Jim Sturgess.

4. Bravest Warriors
(cartoon on Cartoon Hangover, since 2008, 2 seasons)

As I'm a fan of anything hero'ish and yet comedy'ish. It is a good alternative to the all famous "Adventure Time" or "Star vs The Forces of Evil" or "Teen Titans GO!". Episodes are about 5 min long and so you can entertain yourself while on the subway or on short breaks.

5. The Lobster (movie, 2015)

Just watch it!

6. Tomorrowland (movie, 2015)

Just another utopian film
- Did it reach my expectations?

- Not really

- Is it good?

- Well, I think you could give it a try.

7. Gossip Girl
(series, 2007-2012, 6 seasons)

I don't think I need to comment on this one. Watched it the 3rd time. Still absolutely amazing.

8. Laurence Anyways (movie, 2012)

This is The Xavier Dolan's movie, nothing needs to be said.

9. Sherlock Special (series)

Moriarty - still sexy af. Sherlock - still that lunatic teenage star. Plot - extremely complicated and shady. But I would still recommend to watch it.

10. Jawbreaker (movie, 1999)

Just another movie about Barbie mean girls. But hey, someone dies there. If u like Mean Girls, Wild Child and movies like that then do try it. Yet but an old classic

11. The Island (movie, 2005)

One more movie about our society and the idea of utopia and stuff like that. Nothing really special about it. Maybe adore Scarlet Johansen here, she's so sweet.

12. Dead Pool (movie, 2016)

One hell of a movie. Dat cool sassy asshole with a great sense of humour and jokes about avocados and X-men, totally deserves your time, attention and love. God, this movie is freaking cool. Don't call it pretentious, you bastards, just admit it, Rayn Reynolds just did THE THING.








13. Kung Fu Panda 3 (animation, 2015)

It is what you expect to be: a fluffy adventure with a lot food, fights, jokes and some drama action. On this can't say that the 3rd is always the worst because it's kinda not. The animation is cool, the storyline isn't very tightened or confusing. There are lots bright colours and just overall a great light thing to watch.







14. Minority Report (movie, 2002)

Needless to say that a young Tom Cruise is staring here in this film but moreover the whole cast itself is amazing. This is kind of a detective, mystery, crime story set in the utopian future with a lot of twists and turns and futuristic technology and strange secrets of human society. Quite a nerve-wracking thingy to watch but I definitely enjoyed it.







15. Black books (TV series, 2000-2004)

Dylan Moran is the MAN. God, I love this series so much, soo much, you can't even imagine. Everything about it the coolest thing in the world. Every actor, every line, every set, every joke it's just a new religion. But for real guys all three of these main characters are brilliant comics irl and this series itself was written by Dylan Moran who plays Bernard Black here (aka the guy in the middle). Yes, you won't any teenage drama here and kind of relationships you're used too but it has to offer. I really really recommend you to watch it. For example I'm saying you will totally enjoy it if you're familiar with Community, Bad Education, MMFD and Parks and Rec.
So do watch it please








16. Lucy (movie, 2014)

You know, there's some drama, action, detective and science here but I just enjoyed looking at Scarlett Johansson. It's quite debatable whether this movie is overall good because I'll to agree it starts out as an ass killer and suddenly doesn't get the right ending but you won't feel like you've wasted your anyways, so you're good to go.








17. X-men: Apocalypses 
( movie, 2016)

I mean I don't wanna reveal too much about it because you can still catch up on it at the cinemas but overall the movie is great itself. Although I would warn you to expect much from Apocalypses because his character is rather weak (not in powers) and undeveloped. There's also a little old loop that you can see through all X-men movies but that's okay because as usual the cast is goals. There are some new characters. Quicksilver got his moments of fame, the coolest and sickest once again. Oh, be prepared for family drama, a lot of family drama.







18. The Giver (movie, 2014)

Another utopian but really disutopian story. Quite thought-provoking and funny and deep and tear-jerking. Cast is brilliant as well. But like, nothing too special.







19. Chloé (movie, 2009)

Looking back on watching this film yesterday still don't quite understand what is this whole thing about... Be prepared for strange turns, drama, feelings and just overall a strange feeling.






20. Zootopia (animation, 2016)

A really funny and romantic in a way, story about someone following his/her dreams and helping each other and solving crimes and falling in love. This is a sweet thing to watch and to relax but be warned that falling for Nick is inevitable.







21. X-men: Days of Future Past (movie, 2014)

Too much love. Too much. I love it too much

22. Let it be - a film by Bertie Gilbert. (short film, 2016)

Name Bertie Gilbert speaks for itself. When you see it, you know it will be deep and scenery will be amazing. Uhm, sad to admit but I was amazed more by trailer than by the film itself. Although it's classical Gilbert movie that'll make you question your existence it felt like it lost something just there was something about that felt incomplete. Idk, probs I'm being too pretentious in my taste.







23. The Imp Of The Perverse by Ben Cook

I wish I could express my feelings about this creation but I can't. My language is not yet capable of that. All I can say that this thing is ground-breaking and shoot absolutely gorgeous and cast, MY GOD, such an amazing cast. Needless to say that the author of this is one and only Benjamin Cook. Just watch the trailer and you'll see.






24.  金継ぎ Kintsugi 
(a film by Alia Hassan (2015))

If you want some food for thoughts then that's what you need to watch

25. Daria 

(animated series, 1997-2001)

Don't judge it because it's old. It's so close to you that it feels like you're there living life with Daria. I just can't describe it because it'll definitely seem like a boring show to watch but trust me, you'll like it a lot. Uuuuuhm, okay, it's kinda similar in a way to MMFD for you to understand.

26. Bee and the Puppycat 

(cartoon on Cartoon Hangover)

Sweet and fluffy and entertaining. Watch it to relax and take your thoughts away.

o Free! (anime, 2014)
