The time of "The last bell" for twelfth graders has come. I think that it's one of the most meaningful celebrations that a person can ever have in school. It's the culmination of twelve years of your life. The ending of one part of your life and the beginning of another. And it was up … Continue reading Participating in preparation and performance of “Paskutinis skambutis”
Yes, I still play guitar. I'm still deeply in love with music. This month I combined the guitar and singing parts of a song by Phum Viphurit called Lover Boy and another song by Boy Pablo called Feeling Lonely. During singing lessons my teacher told me what to improve - things like preparing my voice … Continue reading Guitar playing and singing
Throughout my life I've never really followed fashion until this year. This year I kind of rediscovered it as a way of expressing myself rather than just putting on whatever that looks alright. I heard about the fashion show of licėjus right before spring break. Our class was assigned the "Van Gogh and flowers" theme. … Continue reading Participating in the fashion show of licėjus
This month I had some more singing lessons. The previous months I didn't get very in depth with techniques, but now I've had a conversation with my teacher about each technique so I could better understand the purpose of it. So in more detail I learned that when you sing: 1. The jaw must be … Continue reading Singing
I continued my guitar practice throughout April. This time I polished the piece I learned last month - the jazzy version of Boney M.'s Sunny. I found that there is a very big difference between knowing how to play a piece and being able to play it smoothly. I came to this conclusion because I … Continue reading Guitar playing

It has sort of become my meditation through music. This month I focused on learning something more difficult … Continue reading Guitar playing
I finally got to act in front of a lot of people. I was very excited to do this, since it has been a long time for me without being on stage. The last time I performed something live was 2 years ago, when I was still in music school. And until now, I hadn't … Continue reading Acting in the play of šimtadienis.
This month I practiced different strumming patterns and experimented with them. There is a huge variety of strumming patterns for guitar and I read on the internet that it's a great choice to try to master at least most of them. So I did. I learned twenty different strumming patterns of guitar and tried to … Continue reading Guitar playing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl71Z46mQQI A girl from licėjus, Andrėja Juškaitė, was making a movie for Skalvijos kino akademija and asked me to act in it. I gladly accepted the offer, since I always wanted to try acting in my life. We spent one whole day filming my scenes and it was quite educational for me. I got to … Continue reading Acting in a movie of a student from Skalvijos kino akademija.
This month was heavy with preparations for šimtadienis. There were numerous tasks that you could do. I chose to act in the play, mostly because I wanted to do something creative and hard rather than make decorations as that would've been boring for me. I did not realize at first how much time it's going … Continue reading Helping to prepare for šimtadienis.
