The older sister’s question

By Paulo Coelho

When her brother was born, Sa-chi Gabriel begged her parents to leave her alone with the baby. They refused, fearing that, as with many four-year-olds, she was jealous and wanted to mistreat him. But Sa-chi showed no signs of jealousy. And since she was always extremely affectionate towards her little brother, her parents decided to carry out an experiment. They left Sa-chi alone with their new-born baby, but kept the bedroom door ajar so that they could watch what she did.
Delighted to have her wish granted, little Sa-chi tiptoed over to the cradle, leaned over the baby and said:
‘Tell me what God is like. I’m beginning to forget.’

Rainbow's Land

Ziua de astazi a fost mult asteptata. Mult insemnand cam vreo 3 luni. O vesnicie! E una dintre acele zile cu semnificatie aparte. Am fost la spital, pentru rezultatul biopsiei. Aveam inima cat un purice. Inutil sa scriu ca in tot acest timp am disperat si am sperat si m-am rugat si m-am panicat.

Medica de familie m-a trimis la dermatolog si am avut norocul sa nimeresc la un specialist in Skin Cancer. Un medic foarte priceput, dar foarte cold ca om. Am auzit apoi ca profesionistii sunt de obicei asa. Dar pe mine atunci nu m-a ajutat. Pentru ca la sfatul sau de a face biopsie, eu am zis un NU categoric si am cautat metode alternative. Pe net. Unde am citit o tona de articole de cercetare in domeniu, jurnale de medicina, am luat site-urile la rand, sperand sa ...

...for we never stop loving silently those whom once we loved out loud

.. after 3.5years... it feels weird to be back.. but after having seen the most emotional video in a long time, I knew I was going to put everything down in words, like in an attempt to take it out of my chest. What did Margaret of Scotland, Maria Callas have in common? They both died of broken heart. I cried when hearing the story of Margaret in Edinburgh a few years back. What do Marina Abramovic and me have in common? The empty feeling left after being abandoned? Or the fact that our lives are split in three parts: before, while and after? Regardless, I was fascinated and still am by the force and fragility that Marina's personality emanates

Poll - Which One Does Suit Me Better?

Image
Fac un sondaj de opinie si am nevoie de pareri. Trebuie musai sa ma vopsesc pt. ca azi mi-a amintit Moni ca mi se vad radacinile - horror! Si pentru ca tot urmeaza sa imi pun iar culori in cap, si pentru ca unii imi zic ca blondul ma prinde cel mai bine, altii ca trebuie sa revin la culoarea mea, sau la roscat, sau la brunet sau, sau, sau, ce-ar fi sa fac un sondaj de opinie si sa culeg voturile? Pun mai jos niste poze cu mine "in culori" - ce parere aveti? Which one goes better with me? A) Rosu (well, sort of): B) Blond (ma rog, un fel de, in poza ce urmeaza, but get an idea!) C) Natural (culoarea mea) D) Alta varianta (imi pare rau ca nu am poze cu mine pe negru ca a fost si aia o varianta la un moment dat) PS: nu conteaza calitatea pozelor/postura/frizura etc., ci pur si simplu ma intereseaza culoarea si atat.
