I've never thought that this would be possible... but I guess it is another proof I live in a decent country!

Deci, cu riscul de a ma repeta, te bat daca te intorci aici! Desi tare mi-ar placea sa te am aproape, dar prefer sa te stiu bine acolo. Pup

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. Nu e tocmai usor sa treci de unul singur, intr-o tara la mama zmeului, prin experienta asta: am sau nu am cancer? Totul a pornit de la o alunita care avea o culoare mai ciudata si care a inceput sa isi modifice dimensiunea si forma. 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

Don't Give Up Giving Up Smoking! (part 1)

In toate spitalele si clinicile de aici exista niste panouri cu informatii de toate soiurile - si printre altele, o gramada de pliante care prezinta interes. Pentru ca in ultima vreme am ajuns destul de des la spital si pentru ca brusc am devenit foarte preocupata de ceea ce afecteaza la propriu sanatatea (si ma refer aici in special la bolile lente, care se dezvolta in timp, printre care cel mai mare adversar, cancerul), am luat niste pliante dedicate celor care vor sa se lase de fumat, ca sa vad ce metode propun ei pentru a face procesul mai usoar de parcurs. M-am gandit sa va scriu si voua cateva cuvinte despre ceea ce am citit intrucat poate sunt printre voi cativa care au constientizat ca tigarile nu au cum sa aduca nimic bun pentru organism, ci dimpotriva, il pot distruge. Nu doar ca voi reda o parte din ce citesc, dar voi pune si referintele la studiile facute, ca sa vedeti ca nu scriu din burta si doar de dragul de a scrie. Referintele le pun intre paranteze patrate si le voi l...
