14th of April 2009, this girl wrote in her blog: “I will die”. Prior to this date, the doctors diagnosed a 17-year-old Norwegian Regine Hansen Stokke with a terrible incurable form of blood cancer called MDS / AML (ineffective production of myeloid blood cells and risk of transformation to acute myelogenous leukemia). She had chemotherapy but it could only hold for some time disease’s progression.

Regine began keeping a blog and in a few months, it became the most visited blog in Norway. It is hard to read her writings and one can only be surprised at the sheer will of the young girl who wasn’t scared to look into the eyes of death, didn’t give up, lived a full life and tried to fight the disease. The whole country was supporting her.

Her struggle for life continued for 15 months. On Thursday, December 3 at two o'clock Regine died at her home in Kristiansund…

Russian astronaut Maksim Surayev aboard the International Space Station started his blog which is becoming more and more popular. Mostly, because of his original writing and the interesting things and weird pictures he’s talking about. All of this is mixed with humor and makes this blog unique.
Recently, he was talking about what ‘space smells like’, he wrote if you strike two granite stones with one another, it will give you this exact smell. Well, need to go there to smell it for myself :)
Or all the confusions in translation of canned food from Russian to English and vice versa.
He also wrote that all the astronauts on board have their little hobby, like, for example, growing lettuce and wheat, writing poems and diaries etc.
Now let’s take a look at the pictures.
