Let's celebrate!

Today is the 4th Thursday in November. Do you know what does it mean? Of course, Thanksgiving Day! So I am here to share with you for what I am thankful. :)

I am thankful for:


  1. My family - They always stand by me no matter what. I complain about them very often. I admit I had a lot of troubles with my parents and siblings. But if I think about it, I really love them and need them. I am thankful for them!
  2. My friends - I am happy that I have someone by my side. Friendship is something unique. And I found  couple of people with them I can share my joys and my worries. I can have fun and also I can speak seriously. They would never let me feel alone. That is why I am thankful for them. 
  3. Every day - Because I can spend time with amazing people. And every day is surprising. You'll never know what it brings to you. 
  4. My hobbies - I really appreciate the fact that I can do what I like. Mainly to singing in choir. Actually 3 choirs.
  5. God - Maybe it is kind of shocking to you. But yes I do believe in God. And I am thankful for it!
  6. Everything else - There are so many other things. It's different every day. Sometimes it's someone's smile or nice chat with somebody, maybe good mark in school. It could be a compliment or anything.

So I just have confessed almost everything about me. Don't judge me.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!


See you soon.

Oppa Gangnam Style

Oppa Gangnam Style


"Gangnam Style" is in these days something like part of our lives. Every time I switch on some of the music channels, I hear that song. It hits number one in every country. This song is mind blowing. I can definitely confirm that. Let's look closer.

Gangnam Style is a song by South Korean artist PSY. It was released in July 2012. On YouTube it is the second viewed video ever!

When I hear this song for the first time my reaction was "Seriously? You must be kidding me!" But then I found out how popular it is in the world. I asked myself why. Even my 8 years old sister told me that it is her favorite song!

Now let's have a look 

What are you saying? Very catchy, isn't it?


But I was very curious what is that really mean. So I found lyrics. Basically it is about a man singing about some girl. He sang how quiet she is in the daylight and how she changes at night. How shocking! Actually I also want to explain the phrases which were used.

  • Gangnam = wealthy and posh district in Seoul, Korea. It was used like metaphor for women - noble during the day and crazy at the night
  • Oppa = means something like older brother


In that fact is it really alright that this video watch kids? 


Anyway, I can't deny that this video is really catchy and absolutely fit to party time. It could be really fun dancing these easy moves with friends.

Here I have links of famous people dancing Gangnam Style dance.

Britney Spears: 


UK X Factor Finalists 2012:




And it reminded me that even in the Czech Republic this steps were danced. Let's have a quick look.




And of course it has a lot of parodies. If you want to find some, go to YouTube.


In conclussion I want to add a number to prove that this song is real hit. When I started to write this article it had under the 745,000,000 views on YouTube. Now I am ending and it has 746,302,759 views. Quite a lot, isn't it? 

I have one simple question. Are you supporter or hater of this single? If you want add something, leave a comment. 

I'll be back soon.
