One Second Every Day: 2018 year

As I mentioned before in my posts, I’m doing the project “One Second Every Day”. Every day I try shoot the most exciting moments of my life and then just cut one second from the video record.

My project has survived after 4 years of my life, where the one changed really dramatically. After the first day of shooting I managed to live in the US, start travelling, finish my bachelor and finally moved to Berlin. Here I want to show how did my 2018 look like.

The good video quality comes from 01:55, at the day I managed to buy iPhone X.

Enjoy.

Итоги 2018 года

Мой блог потихоньку переезжает на личное и русскоязычное. В пилотном посте я подчеркивал, чтобы пишу на английском, чтобы не забыть язык. После того, как переехал в среду, где на английском читаешь и разговариваешь больше, чем на русском, а мои технические мысли двигаются на mkdev.me, потребности такой не возникает.

Заранее оговорюсь, этот пост не про достижения в области индивидуальной фаллометрии или про то, как много я сделал. Это скорее про то, что год прожит не зря, и бессмысленно себя корить о том, что ты чего-то упустил или куда-то не туда пошел. В этом году у меня особенно наступило прозрение, что жизнь в стиле бесконечного сбора ачивок нервозна и бессмысленна. В то же время создалось впечатление, что на события и переживания этот год был прожит как пять или семь лет здорового человека.

В посте я специально не стал вставлять никаких картинок и фотографий, чтобы и самому не отвлекаться от текста, и желающих не отпугивать.

Yet another expat confession

At the time when this post will be published, probably I’ll be on the way to Berlin. This is my next stage of life. Stage which is full of questions and attempts to answer on them.

Thailand: 10 thoughts and 4 tips

Having a space for 2-weeks vacation, I decided to explore Thailand. You know, what could be better to drive around the country with different culture and special nature? Especially when your hometown is dying under the freeze.

Top 10 favourite TED talks

TED is great. It helps you remember that your job and subject is just a little piece of the whole world. It helps to look back into your life, analyze what wasn’t exactly right and learn it for the future. It helps you to generate ideas on your own.

10 Thoughts: Dubai/Oman

This was my first New Year holiday week spent abroad. I tried to combine a comfortable climate (+25 in January, can you believe it?!) with cultural learning. And this idea worked out pretty fine!

The destination was the Arabian Gulf. I’ve got 3 days in Dubai/UAE and 4 days more in Oman. These two periods were so contrasting! Skyscrapers vs. traditional architecture, expat-friendly vs. traditional, urbanism vs. nature! The list of “mutually exclusive paragraphs” between two locations may go on endlessly!

But let me try to explain such experience as I usually do: by 10 thoughts.

21 things I’ve done in 2017

Disclaimer: this post is not about personal praise, arrogance and chattery. It’s just a checklist of strikethrough items in my life. Remember, this is my personal blog and I want to write about my life.

There is a popular tradition to summarize things done during the outgoing year. I’m personally doing this second year in a row. You might ask what’s the matter of this?

Well, for me it’s a great opportunity to realize how far did I push my life in the fixed time range. This way is great to measure your progress and set the appropriate goals for the future.
