The last 48 hours were frantic- my friends and I celebrated my (upcoming) 18th b-day. I'll be 18 in a week though, but most of my friends (and probably me too) will be gone on vacation so this was the last that I got to put them all together.
We celebrated at a party house; place put in the middle of nowhere that had a pool and loud speakers. We ate a lot, drank a hella lot and partied until dawn. Most fell asleep in the morning (mostly because we got back from our school trip the day before, and God knows we haven't slept a night there either). 
It was so so much fun and I love my friends for it! Thank you all for the great great night!
I got some really cool and beautiful pressies, but I'll get the most on my real birthday. People think I'm bullsh**ing when I say this, but it's so true- the best presents I can get from my friends are the awesome memories I got and the fun time my friends gave me.
 Since I'm still all groggy and tired (slept 20 hours in the last 24 hrs - woke up only to watch GOT and eat a bit)- I'll post pics from my gifts some other day. Unfortunately, I only have a few pics from the celebration, most are blurry and not for public eye. There's a video and maybe I'll post it haha
Anyway, I'll write soon! School's over so I don't have much to do. I plan to do a lot of reading and prepping for college next year, also there's a potential plan to start running and exercising more, so keep up 'cause that'll be some of later subjects I'll write about ;)

Second part of our journey was in Prague, capital of Czech Republic. We spent three days there- we toured the center and had a boat trip alongside the river Vltava.
It was so so hot and sunny all I remember was desperately looking for corner shops for water. 

At the end of third grade, every school organizes a week long trip. Usually it's something like Barcelona or Greece, but my school took us to Krakow, Prague and Vienna (a bit of a downer at first, but not bad).
So we started our journey at 4 AM Saturday and arrived at Krakow where we stayed for three days. We made a quick stop to Brno on our way there. Brno is the second biggest city in Czech Republic.
Anyway, in Krakow we stayed in a hotel near the center; the hotel way okay, beyond our expectations anyway.
In three days spent in Krakow, we visited Auschwitz, the salt mine and toured the center. I liked it more than Prague, it's pretty lively and full of young people.
My advice to anyone going there: watch out at night. Our first night-out was a bummer- we overdressed and spent the night fretting for ourselves. In 3AM everyone's outside, mostly drugged or drunk, weird people giving out flyers, cops chasing people, funny looking fellas whistling and giving you the look... After that we played smart and spent our other nights at a Shisha Bar- guys played our music and let us stay there till the morning. 

School's over, hooray!
As a tradition, each generation goes on a week long trip at the end of 3rd grade. We are going to Prague, Krakow and Vienna (all the places I've been to, though). If it were our choice, we'd go to Greece or Spain, but it's the schools' policy. We're going tonight, err actually more like really really early tomorrow morning.
So I'll be away for a while, as when I get back next Friday I'll be celebrating my 18th birthday (!!!) so you can guess it'll be a busy weekend.
In the meantime, all I'll say is that I got a haircut today and done something completely different for a change, as I was inspired by my post about haircuts (don't worry, it's not dyed in rainbow colors haha).
I'll have so so many nice photos when I get back to fill up for my absence :)

Here's something to check out in the meantime-

Artist Benjamin Garcia does amazing abstract portraits, for more see link beng-art.com

You can feel it in the air- school's just for two days and everyone's psyched about it. There won't be much of a text post today, I've got to prepare myself for my annual English test. Plus that, it was sunny and D and I got time to take a couple of pics. I felt playful today so I threw on a lot of tiny bracelets from around the world- Munich, Canary, Turkey, Rome... 

I've had complications with my old account so I made a new one. Follow me on my new Instagram - gabriela_rukavina for more frequent updates, nightout and ootd photos!

Something really cool I found on the web- an artist called Bryan Lewis Saunders did a little (or not so little) experiment. He took all sorts of drugs and medication, then made self-portraits under their influence. I assume it was dangerous and I have no idea how he got away with it, but what he did is pretty amazing. He did a variety of drugs, from marijuana and cocaine, to medical drugs like xanax or aderall.

It's been a couple of days I've been MIA from here... It's the usual- school, study, gym, sleep. It's just three days of school ahead of me and there's still so much to do. Yesterday was the first day in a week I got a chance to breathe a little (over a Mai Tai and loud music, though).
So anyway, there hasn't been that much time to shoot combos, and I hate that cause I've been improvising some really good styles lately.
But I'm not going to be writing about clothes today, something else has caught up with my attention.
I don't know if you guys have been reading about that guy in USA that killed a bunch of people- in short, he was a rich kid and (how he said) still a 22 year old virgin, and frustrated with that fact he made a video on YouTube saying he'll kill every 'blond bitch' because that's who he blames for his lack of a sex life. And he did do it- a massacre on a campus. He was clearly insane, but what's worse is some of the comments on his video- guys joking with things like "see girls, that's what happens when you friendzone a guy", or men saying that none of this would happen if some girl "gave it to him".

I've been talking about this a lot with my friends lately, and I don't have the stomach to write about it, but I've found out about a so-call movement over the Internet- girl tweeting under the hashtag #YesAllWomen and then writing something that really just goes straight to the heart. Plus that there's a lot of other writing and work I've seen, so here's a few-

“1. Because a woman brought into this world will inevitably be given pepper spray “just in case.”

2. Because by sixteen, a young girl knows how to avoid being sexually assaulted, while a boy of the same age does not fear sexual assault in the slightest.

3. Because a girl who mocks men is a bitch, and a boy who mocks women is joking.

4. Because a girl who has sex is a slut, and a boy who has sex is a man.

5. Because in a murder, the killer is at fault, but the blame of rape is often put on the victim.

6. Because we teach girls how not to get raped instead of teaching anyone simply not to rape.

7. Because a woman should put more clothes on if her outfit makes a man uncomfortable, because his self control is her responsibility.

8. Because feminists just need to chill out.

9. Because a 22 year old sex-obsessed virgin can murder 7 people, and the problem is that someone should’ve just slept with him.

10. Because not all men are predators, but yes, all women are prey.”
