The hustle and bustle of my birthday and stolen balloons from Up!

Some people may know about this, some may not, but a few days ago I had a birthday, precisely on May 23, and therefore it is necessary to celebrate! So today I will tell you about the activities that I did on my birthday, which were arranged by my beloved @olga.maslievich (my mom) and @bugavi (my sister). So from the very morning I woke up around 12:00, and I woke up to the song happy birthday. Having got up, I went out to a beautifully laid table with candies, Dubai chocolate and various fruits such as cherries, mangoes, strawberries, bananas and my favorite coffee made by @olga.maslievich. After that, we picked up a suitable image for our further plans and went on a journey.

Today we had a very important event planned - my first professional photo shoot to start my modeling career. So today my style for the day was a white top with blue jeans, because this is the most standard look and is most suitable for an initial photo shoot. So after we figured out the style and hairstyle, we hit the road.

The studio was in Antalya, and it's an hour's drive to Antalya, so we need to hurry. So in an hour we arrived in Antalya, but now the most difficult part began. At the height of the day, in the center of the tourist city of Antalya, traffic jams were worse than hell. So, the road through the entire center of Antalya took us the same amount of time as the 40 km we drove from Kemer to the beginning of Antalya. When we arrived, we didn't even have time to eat sandwiches 🥺. We got out of the car, and a woman met us and took us inside the studio. The studio was in the basement, but it looked very stylish. The first woman was joined by another woman who appeared to be her director of photography.

We took a few looks with us. The first was the one I wore right away, the second was a black jacket with shorts, the third was a shirt with a pink corset. At first I was a little nervous, because when I don't look at myself in the mirror, it's hard to know how I look and whether I'm posing well. Before this photo shoot, @bugavi (my sister) made me memorize 40 poses. Every day I repeated them in front of the mirror, so that later I wouldn't stand like a pillar in front of the camera not knowing what to do. Also, the director really helped with everything, because she gave great advice and helped with the attitude of the poses. My sister also helped me, and my mom was filming the process on her phone at the time. The poses really came in handy, because when the first photo shoot ended with one pose, instead of the awkward silence, I remembered the next pose.

The studio looked cool, there were two lights, a white plane, rounded where the corner should be. It was a really great experience, I was happy to finally have my, probably "start" of a career? These photos were supposed to be sent in a week, but they were sent a little later than a week, and they are now being retouched. After that, we immediately went back to Kemer to continue the celebration. Although I didn't think it would be a good idea to do it on my birthday, it was really fun and extremely interesting.

So after another long journey, this time from Antalya to Kemer, it was the middle of the day, and the heat was unbearable. So the first thing we did was go to a beach bar called Amor to swim in the clear deep water and then refresh ourselves with orange juice. This beach is close to the clubs, so on the way when we passed by, we were given some two tickets that gave us free entry (I don't know where, because the entrance is free anyway) but we didn't use them anyway, since we don't go to clubs. When we arrived, we immediately jumped into the cool water. It was such a relief to finally swim, especially when I'm not dressed in a light outfit at all. This beach is one of the best on the general civil beach line. Although in the summer it gets really muddy and dirty here. After getting out of the water, we sat down at a table and told the manager that it was my birthday, and he gave us VIP passes to the club, but it's still useless for us unfortunately 😅.

After orange juice, I went to the kittens that live in this cafe near the hookah bar. My sister found me with the words "years go by, you don't change". Yes, it's true, I loved cats and constantly sat with them, and I still love them. And with the words, Daria, go drink orange juice, @bugavi took me to the table. I didn't understand anything, because I had already drunk my juice, but in a few minutes I understood everything. This was my first greeting of the day and cake. When I sat down, the music "Happy Birthday" turned on, and the cafe staff congratulated me. They gave me tiramisu to play the role of cake.

Then we set off on our next journey. We headed to a cafe-bakery. There, my mother and I went inside the cafe and ordered tea, and my sister mysteriously disappeared into the street. We were sitting there having ordered a few cakes when my mother got a call and we went outside.

When I came out, I was in a joyful shock. In my sister's hand were balloooooons 😆. I really love balloons, and it's exactly the kind of birthday atmosphere when you have them. And there were exactly fifteen of them - the same age as I turned. They were all multi-colored and looked very magnificent. It was a great joy, because balloons are one of the few things I wanted for my birthday.

And so with these balloons I went to the cafe, and having tied them to the table we started celebrating in this cafe too. Here I was also congratulated by some of our friends who work here and brought me another small cake. But there is one but 😅 they wrote the greeting in my sister's name, but it wasn't a big problem, we just had to erase the name and that was it!

Then we went outside (with the balloons of course) and took a few photos. After that, we got into the car, and there was one dilemma. How to carry the balloons? There were two options, and we chose to hold them just outside the window. But this option turned out to be worse because even during light car traffic, the balloons almost flew off! But somehow we still reached our next destination. We pulled up to a quiet street, parked, and decided to walk the next part of the way.

We came to the park and there I had an idea. In general, we wanted to take a few photos with the famous heart-shaped arch of Kemer, but one of our friends insisted on meeting. He said that he would bring a gift, so we agreed. Being at the entrance to the park, there was a shooting range (a booth for shooting at targets), and since I really like this business, we decided to try our hand at it again. My sister and I tried it first. The gun had a scope, so it was easy for me to hit the targets, and I did well with it. I hit almost all of them. As a child, I used to go to the shooting range at my dad's place at work. And my sister didn't understand how to shoot, so she didn't do too well. My mother also didn't cope with this task professionally this time, although last time she beat me. Well, this is probably my lucky day 😁.

We went into the heart of the park, and took some cool photos near the arch, and went to the sea to take some photos there. The blue hue of the sea really adds to the atmosphere of these photos. And a few more photos at the lifeguard booth that is currently out of order. When we arrived at the local cafe, we saw our friend and he gave me a bouquet of roses and headphones. It was a wonderful gift, even though he didn't ask what I liked. We sat with him for 15-20 minutes and then we said goodbye and we headed to the next cafe.

Passing by another cafe with our friends, I asked them to buy me a coconut, and they gave it to me instead 🥰.

The next cafe was not just a bar or a cafe! It was a real pirate ship. This cafe is designed in a pirate style, and the staff here is also decorated like pirates. We have been to this place many times before, so we know a lot of people here. We sat down at a table and started ordering. This place usually focuses on meat, such as steaks, but I am a vegetarian. So especially for me they made a cool vegetarian lunch with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, two avocado toasts and a few extras. So after we ate, the "happy birthday" music started, and all the waiters came up to congratulate me and handed me a tiramisu made by their head chef. At first I didn't understand what was happening, so I sat in confusion, not understanding why everyone was smiling so strangely.

By the way, this tiramisu was one of the most delicious I have ever eaten. After the gatherings in this restaurant, we went to another meeting with our two friends. We met in the park, and spent a nice fun evening, after which we returned home. And it was my birthday, interesting, diverse and most importantly fun. If you have already had a birthday this year, I congratulate you! I hope you were happy on this day, and I wish you to be happy on all other days, and if you still have a birthday this year, I wish you all the best on this day, and on all days in general!
