Ratatouille

I'm finally starting to get the whole 'cool thing' about journalism.
I get to be the first one to hear and see stuff!
For example, did anyone hear about the new Disney movie called 'Ratatouille'?
The whole world premiere to be June 28th.
Well, I-i-i-i... get to see it on June 19th!!!
I'm among the few 'chosen ones' to get this special treat!
cuz, you know, I'm an editor now :)))))
This sweet children's movie is not that big of a deal,
but I'm really excited about this unique opportunity
to be one of the first ones to see something BRAND NEW.

I'm IN!!!

How fun and how exciting!!
My boss called me in (which got me a little freaked out frankly speaking)...
to congratulate with my official position! She called me just to say
how much they all appreciate me and that I successfuly passed my three-month test.

I am officially an EDITOR now...

God knows where this position will take me in future.


A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who supported me in this crazy idea

to write...

My sweetest, most supporting and loving husband,

my both pairs of parents,

my 'prophet friend' Katya who always knows what is to happen with me even before I do,

my Auntie Lena who basically found me this job

and of course my generous 'secret admirers'

who paid for my school, giving me this precious opportunity

to change my job...

Thank you all.

My dream is coming true :))

Thank the Lord! Hallelujah!!!!

Did you know that many people drown because of cramps when having a swim in deep waters? You've all had cramps, I'm pretty sure. It's when the muscles (mostly it's the calf) suddenly become so tense it hurts awfully and you can't move your leg (or any other part of body). It happens as a result of big physical tension or sometimes sudden temperature change (for example cold water, it's colder where it's deeper). Anyhow, if you ever get these spasms in water the main thing is...
1) of course not to panic (that will do no good)
2) while keeping your body on surface of the water with arms, use your healthy leg to stretch your invalid foot, try to pull it with one of your hands getting a grip on your big toe.
3) it will help if you guide the pain signal somewhere else (sounds weird): pinch or even bite yourself. The best would be having a tiny safety pin on your bading suit, then you can use it to prick yourself into the crampy foot or elsewhere - it should help the spasms.
4) while swimming back to the shore keep taking short rests on the surface of the water.

That's scary, isn't it? Did anyone have that experience in the water? I get cramps once in a while but never when beeing somewhere deep. I had a bad one in gym once. Turned out that I put extra loads on my legs that were of different weight. The foot that had a heavier load was quite upset with me for a while, I should say... :)
