Poor People Imagination

I sent 70 sms to people who know me (Megafon gave me 100 sms as a bonus) and recieved 50 in reply. I was really glad to hear, i.e. to read congratulations on the upcoming New Year and Christmas and all the best wishes ever. But the question is - is it difficult for those 20 left people to type a simple sms or just send a sample if their imagination is too poor? Strange I can say. I've got another example of freakness. A friend of mine left New Year stuff in my garage until her final moving to another flat. Some days ago her husband asked to take back all the stuff. I said when he could do that and decided to give a New Year present for my friend with him. I waited only a simple "thanks" in return but didn't get it. I have two explanations. The first is that my friend's husband decided to give my present to her as his present, the second - calling or again sms is much more expensive than my present was. Freaky people, really.

New Year Resolutions

I'm making my own list of New Year resolutions - it will help me to spend my time with profit and result. I'm up in this process because I want to bear in mind all the details of all my life aspects. It's not so easy as it may seem.

Today I represent you the word mardy.

It's an adjective - 'you mardy cow!', for instance, somebody might say - quite a strong adjective really. It means, you know, you whinging, sulking, whining, petulant, pathetic, moaning, grumpy ... there are lots of adjectives that do this kind of thing - surly, you cry baby, stop feeling sorry for yourself ... that's the implications of the word mardy.

To sum it up, mardy means a weak person but this word is tabooed. So be careful using it among people of quality!

Public Life

There's a famous site which unifies thousands of people all around Russia and not only this country where one can find a person who one studied at school with and wherever. There's also a photo gallery of each person with albums and comments, and some people are proud to post their children too. What for? I always judge people by myself and think that private life must be apart from public one. Take celebrities as an example - they avoid showing their offsprings everyhow, and in my humble opinion it's right. If you want to show your child to someboby it may be a friend of your own who is nice and friendly but not an envious and might-have-been with lots of biases and hangups.

Authority Pressure

Person who is charismatic and has an authority can overpress people to get what he likes herewith it won't be considered as a real pressure but a kind of a task fullfilling. The strongest uses his strength provided others are weak and tend to be led. It's more convenient for them to follow his leader than to settle upon themselves and be responsible for the result whatever it will be. It' s like hiding head in the sand. Don't be afraid of making your own decisions and avoid being a slave.

New Style

Do you like my new style? I can tell you where I've changed my look :)

Sweep-up with perfect helpers

I don't know a person who loves sweeping, mopping, cleaning and does it of his own free will. It's an inevitable action that usually takes place once in a two weeks' time or more often. As for me I can't stand any of this kind but I know that noone will do it instead of me and better than me. So it's up to me. But I managed to make this process easier and more comfortable - I use only my perfect helpers (vacuum cleaner Karcher) that are powerful and reliable, and also have an attractive layout. Try it too, and maybe the routine sweeping will become more energising and quick.

Strong Request

When you write posts always sign them for the feedback - anonymos are not allowed. Thanks for understanding.

Maiden Pen-name

When filling in different not very important documents I use my maiden name as a pen-name because it' s easier to write and as a rule it doesn't cause a stir. And I think there's no need for shop-assisstants to know lots. It's my own confidence and I'm sure it's right. Have you ever told the wrong name instead of your real one and why?

Loud Thinking

Have you ever noticed that the more loud (often-read here) you think of something the more possible its coming true is? I mean if you're obsessed with any problem you imagine inner talks with a person to solve it, you try various situations and ways out and then, all of a sudden, a person says what you exactly wanted him to say but didn't. In this case the perception and realization emerges in his own consciousness without an argument and quarrels with you. It happens by means of your thought might, and my deduction is that you can use it pro domo sua.

Today I'm going to tell you about a suffix that shows any prejudice and neglect. This is -ism. There are so many -isms in various areas of our life, here are some of them: shortism (neglect people who are small), ageism (prejudice against people who are in their -ties), and the following are for you to guess - ableism, alphabetism. Give me your answers to the last ones!

Decrepit Horse

Ten years ago I thought that if a person is 50 years old, especially a woman, it means she is a decrepit horse without proper thinking and range of vision. Some ladies are of that kind, though. It all depends on the particular lifestyle and life perception. Take Madonna for example. If I didn't know she's nearly half a century, I'd think she's in her thirties. But still the truth is she'll be fifty next year. I admire her and try to follow her example. All in a one man's hand and his life too.

Wedding Day

Yesterday was my hubby and my wedding anniversary, so we decided to celebrate it in the evening. We went to the nearest sushi-bar and spent there the whole evening. It was relaxing! Especially the fact that you don't have to do the washing-up afterwards. That encouraged me on some new ideas and actions. How was your weekend?

Something New!

In this section I'm going to tell you some new interesting English words and phrases. Certainly it's not me who made them up, but my duty is to share my knowledge with anyone who knows me. I hope all the given information will be useful and up-to-date, so keep on improving your language by referring to my blog. Good luck!

to catch a few/some Z's - to nap. This expression appeared thanks to American comics where some characters fall asleep and a bubble with the sound ZZZZZZZ comes from their mouthes.

Make a sentence with this one and make me proud!

Clear Up!

Write here your quesions concerning English and I'll do my best to take away all your misunderstandings.

To Write or Not to Write?

I'm bearing in mind a kind of a creative plan concerned writing prose. I'm writing short sketches for a famous free newspaper "Metro" and those are published, so I'm thinking of a writing career. Who knows, maybe I'm a future Russian great writer! :) One thing I know for sure - all I start doing I'll accomplish. Try it on me!

Outrageous vs Respactable

To come into notice one should do something outrageous rather than respectable. The bad attracts more curious noses to the subject. If a person wants to become famous all his extraordinary deeds are likely to serve him right. It seems to be a brain feature to memorise and recollect bad things better than the good ones, that's why it's neccessary to accept this rule as a copybook maxim if you intend to overmaster the world.

Speech Development

This book is very useful for those whose work is connected with communicating and interlocuting, both in a spoken or written way. To develop your speech is an everyday training that demands efforts and will. I mean when you want to say something using a habitual word try to find a synonim and include it into your speech. And every time bear in your mind that you shouldn't use some common expressions but vary them with the new ones. Day by day you'll be much more surprised on how you've succeeded your speech development.

Keep Chasing Dream

Dreaming is a process that causes light and bright life perception. When you dream you paint your future in the way you like it, using the colours of your own preference. And all dreams are due to come true in case you keep chasing your dream. It's like being pregnant. You cherish every moment, you think of meeting the best person in your life, you are much careful with that your state. The same is with dreaming - you've made up your mind about what you want, it's important to imagine all the details and only in this case your dream is doomed to come true. Be afraid of dreaming - it may become real!

Perfectionism

Whatever I do, each detail even the punest one, must be payed attention to. I can't stand defects that could be avoided during the process of production. It causes anger and rage. I've already said I'm a control freak and I'm sure that through the smallest thing made in a proper way it's easier to come to something more significant and be able to control it. I call it "per aspera ad astra".

My music selection

Some songstresses release the albums with only one or two songs that worth listening, others are just for the track number. I know two best of the best singers who do their work and perform and lay themselves out to the audience not only for money but because it's their lifestyle. One of them is Madonna and the second is Kylie. I adore both of them.

Kylie has released "X" album on November,26. I've bought it today and listened two times as it's the perfection! It's penetrated with positiveness, passion, love and life. Stay tuned!

Am I a Bad Mother?

My general practitioner recommended me to drink non-alcoholic beer to save my hair from receding and also red wine a little every day. I follow her recommendations and feel good. Some friends of mine say I'm crazy and don't take care of my child. But it's ok. There's lots of prejudices about feeding baby at the breast and various diets. I'm keeping a food diet for sure and know that all I do is right. In the world there are so much stereotypes!

Are You Ready For the Good Times?

Unless you don't open yourself to the world you don't get the opportunity to get what you like. All is simple and is a kind of copybook maxims but people don't take it and find more difficult ways of reaching their goals. The exact thing you need is before your face and all you need is just see and accept it and process the recieved information in an appropriate way. You only have to know how to do it properly and that's it!

A Rising-up-my-mood Shopping

I don't know any girl who isn't keen on shopping or just window-shopping. As for me I can spend not hours looking for what I need and like, it happens like love at first sight - I see, fall in love with that thing and buy. I'm not an extravagant person and don't waste money but use shopping as a therapy to get out of routine and some trace of bad mood if it happens. As you may see shopping for me is not an every day hobby, just twice a month. And I also adore Christmas and New Year shopping - it's breathtaking and marvellous!

I'm an ELF!

Quick-Witted

I'm tutoring English to earn my own money and just for brain work. I'm working with students who I've known for nearly 6 years and it's so conventional for me - I can be who I'm really are (sorry for this Americanism). At the same time modern youth is very spry and I cannot be behind them so my head is always about to explode from news and our tasks. I'm more quick-witted than some years ago, that's for sure. I like working as a tutor. This helps to stay tuned day by day, and at the same time I'm happy I don't work at school any more - I was degrading there. I like what I'm doing now. What 'bout you?

Cooking Sickness

I can't eat what I've made. While preparing meat for example I'm about vomiting as I'm a complete vegetarian now. When I was pregnant I used to eat it without any hesitation but now I'm quite the opposite - I loathe it. So when cooking for my hubby I imagine that the red essence is something of a soy origin. I'm trying to abstact away from any terrible thoughts by listening to the radio and singing a song.

Elections

Yesterday was an election day of the political party for the lower house of the Russian parlament. An appearance was approximately 70% that is a great number through the last years. An elective boby was of different age - youth and aged people.

I voted the party whose leader is our current president. I respect and trust him, and consider him to be a shoo-in.

Appreciate Every Moment

Cherishing and appreciating every moment is now my lifestyle. Some years ago I used to hurry up and kill the time with doing nothing just waiting for minutes to pass. Now I feel that every moment is precious whatever you do. And I do as much as possible to memorise it with my emotional and sign memory. There's no use in wasting your time for nothing. I'm imbuing each and every second of my life with significant things.

I broke promise to myself

In the beginning of November I gave myself promise to write in my blog every day, but it turned out to be quite a tease. There were lots of things I had to fulfil and when I remembered about writing it was rather late at night and I was dead-tired. I make my own resolution to be as good as I'm always and to upgrade my blog every day in December!

Source of Inspiration

When I've got no strength to do anything I turn on my favourite music and dance for my child. She's interested in my actions and seems to quite understand what's happening. And also I watch something with Madge(or, sorry, Luise) because whatever she does she manages in it. She's a real overachiever notwithstanding her inner hesitations and emotions. She says - she does. It's good to take after her, inspiration and power is guaranteed.

Life Creation Power

I don't feel pity for people who live in poverty and have eternal debts. All is in their own hands. If a person leads such a lifestyle it means he's satisfied with all happening in his mind and around him. I prefer creating my life with my own hands not to go with the times. It's the easiest way to say that everything is bad and fatal and be drawned in alcohol, drugs and something of that kind. These actions illustrate that a person is flabby and doesn't stir a finger to change anything. Frankly, I loathe such people and try to avoid talking with them because they, as a rule, spread negative vibes.

Diet

I'm trying to lose my weight but only in theory. I think of what I should or shouldn't eat but still eat the wrong food. I start my morning with cereal or muesli and I'm very proud of myself at that moment but at day time I cannot but consume something tasty and heavy. I do regret about it later and due to this eat one more caloric peace of something. And this continues up till the evening when I only drink green tea. Maybe I shouldn't make so much effort while I'm feeding my baby at the breast? Oh, I forgot to say - my weight is 53 kg and I'm 164 sm tall.

Baby Boom!

I'm happy that so many young families are becoming parents! It's absolutely inevitable for a person to become a perent. But I don't think the younger the better. Yes, it has its own advantages but still I'm sure a person must be ready to give good bringing-up to his child, show on practice his own experience and be an authority for the kid, I mean one should be well-educated with a satisfying career and a broad range of vision. Only in this case there'll be a harmony within and outside the particular family.

Key Phrase

While reading a book I'm not only interested in the plot but I also search the key phrase of the whole narration. It may be the only one but significant word or connotation and it's worth remembering for the future. All good books must have something to learn. Books are like teachers who give knowledge not at school but at home at any time you wish. If there's no marks or a peg to hang a thing on I regret I spent my time in vain.

New Madonna's Book

I got a new Madonna book "English Roses" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-doqq5fTY0. It may be strange for someone that such a ravy and outrageous person can write children books but I'm assure that the more different experience you have, the more you can tell your children about. All you've got you can lay out in an instructive way to make some unknown things clear and evident. Each experience brings its positiveness and it's so neccessary and breathtaking that you tell it out to the young audience ... provided that you are Madonna.

Rest Without Conditions

Rest must be without any conditions. I mean if you're addicted to using make-up, parfume and doing hairstyle everyday like me, you should throw off all these conventionalities and free up yourself. It's pleasant to be there where noone knows you and walk wearing funny hat or coat. This gives some pecularity to the time and surroundings. I found it out and use it nearly every time when I'm out in the countryside. Try it too!

Refreshed

I've got some ideas about my future life. Freshness has opened my eyes on various sides of my existence and squeezed me to think and think, generate new ideas that will turn into a kind of a profit for me. Thus, as I'm a creative workaholic my profession must be closely connected with art - dance, writing, - maybe altogether. Yeah, both of that. Now I'm laying out my plan not to miss anything. You'll see I'll manage!

Oh, Fresh Air!

This weekend I'm going to my granny again. It's a pleasure and non-describle happiness for me and my daughter. I'll make collage at last as I just didn't have time for that. My granny will help me with all my cares and I'll enjoy a bit of freedom. I've got so much plans for the weekend as I can't relax at all, only while sleeping. I recover my energy only if I'm doing some kind of brain work. Otherwise I feel discontented. I wish everyone have a good time!

Confessions

This is how the book looks like in the original.

"Confessions of a bad mother"

The book I'm reading now is nine days' wonder. It's so actual for me at this particular period of time. When I'm exhausted in the evening I recover from being tired by reading fiction of various kinds. Magazines are ok but they've got so much pictures in them. It stirs up my attention. So I prefer reading books - light and funny, no detective stories. I hate them. This book is a real finding for those who've become parents recently or just planning to. It's worth reading.

My Hubby's Birthday!

Today is my hubby's birthday! I presented him with a very useful thing for the road-user. It's a hands-free bluetooth headset http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/RU-RU/Pages/Home.aspx . It's so convenient when you drive. Some talks and negotiations can't be put off till later but talking over the cell and wheel in your hands is rather dangerous, it distracts one's attention and concentrarion.

A brain of a human generates lots of useful ideas for comfort and safety!

Lessons On-line

I'm busy as ever but still I don't want to waste bits of my free time. I've got no possibility to go and learn foreign languages anywhere and don't want tutors to come at my place. So lessons on-line are the best way out of the situation. I've noticed that studying at home demands lots of self-control and state of being organised. Thus one shouldn't drink tea or whatever while learning and there must be a special self-imposed time-limit, otherwise one's home education will turn into a blah-blah and nothing else. Just saying.

Collage Art

Recently I've become interested in a collage production http://www.collageart.org/ . It seems to be very exciting to combine up different pieces of pictures and photos and make a complete image. It develops logic and imagination and gives pleasure and inspiration for sure. It's a hobby that can develop in profession. I recommend you to visit this site. You'll get a positive vibe, I bet!

Keeping Promises

I hate when people break promise - it's one of the things that makes me think whether I should have friendship with this person or not. If you're of that kind you're right out of my alley. LOL. I do keep promise myself and I want others do the same. The world is not perfect, it's evident. But it is so because each and every one person does not aspire to improve himself, one by one and there's lots alike people who have so much in common. Bad habbits, I mean. It's impossible to change popular opinion and action pattern but it's feasibly to strive to.

Self Promotion

Self promotion opens the borders for one's business. Having promoted yourself with money investments for the first time it's likely people pay attention to your personality. Without money and sponsorship it's almost impossible to get fame and become a celebrity. But every rule has its exceptions. Business of any kind is a very cruel thing towards one's financial freedom for the first period of time when one's decided to start something new. In case one's plan works out income of that venture will cover all the first-time expences.

Frame of Actions

Maybe it's a routine and grunge attitude but I prefer doing something having logical connection step by step. And all the stuff must be gradually sorted out. For example in the fridge. The upper part is for dairy products, the middle is for cheese and meat, the lower is for fruits and vegetables. When you look inside you see all the things you need separated not mixed up with each other. The same is with actions - first you do what is easier and quicker, then more complicated and intrenching upon time. The last is like desert - simple and pleasant.
It's a good idea to stay two steps ahead!

Winter Features

I've got my own winter features through the years. The main is that I start putting on tinting cream in order to protect my face skin from cold and wind. I use greasy hand cream before puttting on gloves or mittens and have my hair cut shorter than in summer - for more comfort while wearing hat.

Snow Covered Season

I'd been dreaming of perambulating since autumn came. I imagined walking on the ground covered with snow, leaving my footprints on it. When it's snowing the air is much more fresh and clear, breathing becomes easier and more pleasant. My little dream came true yeasterday - I'm lucky as ever!

My Blog Vibe

Writing notes in the blog helps me to broaden my vision and share my inner ideas and thoughts with others. Yestarday I continued learning Spanish on-line and felt like flying - my wings of positiveness and overwhelming emotions breathed in me new reality perception and supplied me with positive vibes. Learning is a wonderful thing! I wish all the people in the world were inspired by their own opportunity to improve their lives with their own brains. LOL.

Patience

It hard to handle negative emotions in any situation, anger and irritation altogether give a bombing effect. It's easier to burst out arguing till tears come from one's eyes. It's only emotions. It's better damp your ardour and cool down. With the refreshed mind look at the situation one more time and you'll see there is a way out without insulting and hurting. It's much easier to spoil and break something than build and cherish.

I wanna listen

This is a new Britney's album. Though she's a bit strange her art is perfect.

Problem Solving

When I'm up in some difficulty I don't keep it to myself but spread it among my friends. I usually become spleeny when something extraodinary happens. I become fuzzy and impatient. But if only I spread the word I know I'm not alone in this mess. They all give lots of advice, various and sometimes controversial. I combine them up and get the right decision. Friendship helps, though. Friends tell me things I don't see with my own eyes.

Saying Without Hesitation

I can't keep to myself lots of things and it's better to spread them. Some things are not mellifluous, reaction can be of any kind and it's connected with that home truths are hard to swallow. Some people think they are flawless but they are decepted.

Excess Speeds up Time

Mass media is in excess amount nowadays. All the technological progress inventions are speeding up information perception and make the world develop faster.

Self-Development

Education is very neccessry for a complete personality. But often this is only the diploma without the core. The process of studying and educating for that person was narrowed down to attending lectures without thinking and remembering. All the good marks were got by chance, and as a result this person was frivolously educated. I appreciate people who, apart from learning what they are forced to, develop themselves. Only in this case one can be a good companion but not an elbow-bender.

Flying Time

My daughter is 4 months today! Time really flies. I remember cuddling her, she was so small and light, day by day she's weighing more and more. In next to no time she'll go to school...
I cherish every moment of every day and note her small achievments.

Back in the childhood

I had to spend several days at my parents'. It was sooo wonderful and fascinatingly! I tried all my mum's beauticraft and was a bit nervous if my mother would come and punish me for my mischief. I also looked through all the albums. It was as if I returned back in my childhood, I even felt all the smells and emotions of that time. It encouraged me up. My room is furnitured as I used to see and live in it. It was a real retrieval in my childhood.http://pictures.detstvo.ru/family/1255.html

Once in a while...

Betweentimes it's better to forget about someone's existence to stay calm and relaxed. I know this person is true but prefer not to think of it and take it out of my mind. It's not easy but it's possible to strive to make it real. I never thought I would hate, no, don't stand any person, but actions speak louder than words and all the circumstances squeezed me to follow my heart.

SMS

I'm inclined to send sms rather than call somebody provided that it's not the question of neccessity. Just imagine you send 50 sms to some people you know and receive approximately the same amount in return including good words and wishes. This is nice. What you say returns to you sooner or later.
All your deeds are like woomera - the speed you do is the speed you receive.

Friendship

Having friends is very important for me. I have not many close friends just several who I can rely upon for sure. They feel the same about me. I think that the saying "A friend in need is a friend indeed" isn't true for me. Lots of people are ready to help you if you are entroubled. This may be performed subconsciously in order to improve their karma, but if you're happy 'bout something they'll be covered with envy. So, friends are those who share you success and happiness.

This is what my friend Shura sent me to encourage me :)

Real autumn

I saw a titmouse today on my window. It means it will be cold soon. Yesterday it was raining and snowing, all the leaves are nearly fell down and trees are awating for winter. Every season has lots of advantages, but as for me autumn doesn't. Everything is too sad and rainy. Autumn is the season for thinking.

Dancing

I like dancing - for pleasure, for fun, for losing weight, whatever for.I like the process when my body is obeyed to the music. It becomes impregnated with positive vibes, it soars above all the world and I feel freedom and inspiration. Life is a dancing, sometimes smooth, sometimes brutal and rapid.

P.S. If you look deeper you'll see me with my hands nearly crossed wearing wristwatch. It was in 2000. It's a dancing competition. I won the 3rd prize.

Weather dependent

When autumn comes I feel blue and become moody. Sun shines less, leaves are falling, everything is grey and sad. To rise up my mood I need lots of positiveness coming from drinking tea with chocolate or cookies. And lots of sport, without any comments. I like only September because my Birthday is in this month. But when October and November comes I feel lack of light and brightness. My inner compass helps me not to be deeply depressed and every moment I feel down I think of my family and future plans. This certainly keeps my chin up!

This is what I see from my kitchen window.

Being Yummy

Yummy Mummy is what I feel. I've become so mumsy from head to toe. What Is A Yummy Mummy?
A superwoman who fits into her size 6 Seven jeans three weeks after giving birth (by scheduled C-section of course)? A sexy mama who shops for groceries in heels, closing deals on her cell phone while waggling finger puppets to stimulate her baby's growing cerebellum? Give me a break!
A true Yummy Mummy struggles to find the impossible balance between the single sexpot she used to be, the woman she's become, the professional she works hard to be, the wife she aspires to be and the mother she has to be. Basically, she's confused and exhausted.
Forget CEO. THIS is the toughest job in the world. Why didn't anyone warn us? http://www.yummymummysite.com/

Unsalutary Food

Sometimes I'm obssessed with eating unsalutary food, fast food I mean. It's a kind of addiction for me and until I eat something of this kind I won't be satisfied. It seems to be tasty and even delicious but actually it isn't. I do not eat such food too often but from time to time I experiment with this livelihood.

Dollish Voice

When parents, close relatives or just friends talk to a little baby they always make dollish voices. Maybe they think it will help the child to understand them better? It happens subconsciously as I noticed. I do this way too :). But as for men they most of all talk in their gentlemenlike manner without changing anything. Is this exactly what helps the child to feel tenderness and comfort? http://www.faluninfo.ru/content/view/660/53

Smell reminders

Various odours and smells possess the power to take a person back in time. It's a kind of parfume time machine. This can brighten up you memories of something good or just abate spirits. Duality.

I was choosing a shower gel and in the range of variants I met one that reminded me of my illness as at that time I was using exactly that one. I felt headache and dizziness. So if you want to recollect some snippets of your past smell the pafrume you used that time.

Upgrading

Never say it's too late. It's never late in case you want it. I mean people who say that life is too short for wasting it on thinking. If one neglects thinking before doing and just hopes for the best it won't always work. It's better to sort every step out and then produce the action. Every time you'll do it your brain will be upgraded because analising the stituation helps to expand your logic.

Baby Smells

I want to quote Gwen Stefani: "So many smells come with a baby and I enjoy all of them - even the stinky ones." I realised I totally agree with Gwen. All the baby smells are marvellous and I usually breathe in all of them. Parenting is a great thing in all the aspects.

Strange people....

I was walking with my child in the park near my house where lots of beautiful flowers grow. It can't but appeal to the eye. It was a blissful moment of gratifaction. But a minute later I saw an old lady that was plucking the flowers :( I was shocked and the next moment took a picture of her. She noticed that and didn't seem to hesitate but on the contrary continued her actions! What an outrage! Look at that old stupid horse and have fun.

P.S. The pram is not mine

Meeting an old acquaintance

I met a person who I haven't seen for ages and still we had too much to talk about. Having little time our chat was puny but substantial and at last I got so inspired and encouraged. The reason of my invigoration is that I heard what I wanted to hear as I was stirred and didn't know how to handle the situation. Such meetings refresh some points of view and open up eyes on some evidences.

The Envious Constancy

Taking a book to read while walking with my sleeping daughter is like taking an umbrella in case it rains - if I forget it at home it defenetly will rain, if I take the book my daughter won't sleep properly. These are my own predictions which work with envious constancy.

Treat Like Patients

Some people deserve to be treated like patients, because it's just impossible to percieve their behaviour as real and adequate. Their strangeness may be provoced by jealousy or other bad feelings. So you imagine yourself being a doctor and listen to all the rubbish such people say and don't lay it to heart. It will serve them right and you'll be okay without being hurt or insulted.

Deadline

I got to do a translation by 15 October, there's not much work and this can discourage at first. I put my self-imposed deadline and felt it's better when everything is settled by me. It helps to be in terms of time and not to waste it.

To be happy

I had my nails manicured at last! I didn't ever come up with idea that this process brings so much pleasure like meditation or massage session. My mind was free of solicitudes of any kind. I had my piece of solitude ( http://www.magic-nails.ru/?pid=manic)

My Birthday - Natalday!!!

Today is my Birthday! I can't believe I'm 25! But notwithstanding this I feel I've done oodles of things for my age. I'm not afraid of ageism because I've got an inner positive compass that gives me optimism and freshness of mind. Today is also the Peace Day and Blessed Virgin Birthday. I'm lucky to be born on this day and there must be a kind of connection between my natalday and these two dates... (I wrote this 21/09, but it was published on 20/09)

If you are late - go away and get lost!

I hate when people are late. It's so irreverently. My time is precious and I don't intend to waste it on waiting. If you're late it means you are out of my attention. Also such people pay no particular regard to time and are hard to deal with. I prefer doing everything I've planned not paying attention to their hard feelings.

It's a drive!!!!

Today I was driving our family car! It was so great and nerve-racking at the same time, but I feel I did well, my hubby said that. I believe him. It's a pleasure when I'm able to move wherever I like in any time I want.

A Snowball

Sometimes there are too much questions and problems that are left without a decision. This is not very good both for you and your partner. Maybe at first sight it seems easier to postpone solving for the future but it's a delusion. It'll be more complicated. It'll be like a snowball that becomes bigger and bigger with each following roll. So what? Never put off till tomorrow what you can solve today. Never.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowball_effect

Que Pesada eres!

Recently I've caught myself at the thought that I've become more bookish in reading. I pay more attention to facts and names and find out there are lots of mistakes even when I skim through the pages. I'm a kind of a dull beggar but still I don't keep it in my mind, I write to the editor about such inconformities and at the same time think to myself: "Que pesada eres!". But I prefer when words correspond to the facts.

Back at the gym

Today was my first training after the long time interval. I feel my body at last. All my muscles are in good working condition and I'm phisically vigorous. Still I don't understand people who pay no regard to this part of life.

Autumn

This is what the garden looks like in autumn :)

I-tell-what-I-see

When talking to a newborn you become a I-tell-what-I-see. It's so simple and too complicated at the same time. Sometimes I look at my daughter and feel she's about to say something very serious and I'm ready to reply. But later I understand she's too small for leading such conversations, so I usually describe her everything around us, birds singing in the trees, people swaning around, me putting on make-up, and so forth. She seems to be much impressed by my stories and smiles in return. It's so exciting talking to a little child. She cracks me up putting on serious face when I tell her about my goals for the day, certainly I spend most of time with her. It's a plain fun!

I'm back!

The weekend was marvellous! I have no words to describe my spiritual ginger. The fresh air really does broadens mind and presents more positive attitude towards everything around you. It also helps to keep a low profile because you needn't hurry anywhere. This is the real relax!

P.S. The shadow is mine. I took this picture by my cell.

I'm leaving for the weekend!!!

I finally decided to leave the city for the weekend. My daughter and I are going to our granny to spend two days breathing the fresh air! I've no words to describe how happy I am.
I read somewhere that the weekend spent in the countryside gives positive emotions and brings impressions and inspiration for the following week! I'll try to get as much as possible :)

Being multitasking

While nursing my child I usually learn new vocabulary, speak over the cell and listen to the radio news. It's very necessary for me to be informed on what is happening in the world in each particular minute. My child loves when I speak to her while feeding at the breast, so very often we keep long conversations about everything. I tell her my thoughts, sing songs and adore observing her reaction. It realy encourages on doing more better things.
Being multitasking means not to be thrown off the center but vise versa. And also if you are a parent you can't but be multitasking because every minute is precious. It's too pity when you can't spend lots of time with your baby, but when you accomplish all your goals simultaneously it frees you up for spending more quality time with your adorable tot.

Phrase it!

Some people should be treated the way they treat the others. It means that your delicacy won't be percieved and you won't get understanding. If a person is rude and gink don't try to speak civilly, it won't help. Speak his own language even if your gorge is rising. Only in this case you'll get what you want, and be satisfied with your new skill to adapt your ideas for sophomorics too.

Coincidences

Quite by chance there happen some things that are difficult to imagine to be real. I've had a challenge on mind and didn't know how to get through the complicated situation. I couldn't represent the core of the problem for a long time but after a while the backbone of the subject was released. No sooner had it happened I read in a popular magazine how to solve my problem gradually.
The deduction of all this is only when you have represented the problem the solution will come.

There is an answer for everything. Is your question ready yet?

Freedom and marriage

When people get married it means they have much in common, otherwise they'd rather live apart. Being married supposes finding lots of compromise and grinding each other character's verges. But still it's important to stay an identity. Freedom of actions (not controversial to some rules) gives possibility to excite and surprise your partner with more of your sacred abilities. When you turn a new leaf of your mate's identity it amazes and freshens the relationship. It's too fatefully not to turn your marriage life in routine.

Distance clears up

At the distance some things seem to be more evident than at immediate consideration. It happens because at the distance you see the whole situation but not its fragment.
When a person you love goes far-far away you start feeling such an overwhelming love that it's too difficult to cope with it. What's more people's vices are also become more evident. So it can be a kind of a therapy to move to another place to understand the core of something or somebody.

Don't want it easy

Following my life experience I see that problems make me stronger. There's a statement (don't remember who said it) - what won't kill me will make me stronger. It works with me. Moreover, easy doesn't make you think, you just flow with life and don't pay attention on what your life looks like. As for me I don't want my life to be easy. While enduring something you get immunity for that kind of problem for the next time.

Behave as you are

Self-assurance is a really good thing in communicating of any kind. If you behave as being self-assured this can be very decisive for you. People strong in the Self-Assurance theme feel confident in their ability to manage their own lives. They possess an inner compass that gives them confidence that their decisions are right. In case you say or do something wrong but show forwadness, people around you may think that they are mistaken. Thus, later it may prove you've shown off but it'll be too late.
This helps to stand against some of objectionable advice - you just show your own experience without any comments and the person stays outside (referred to http://www.cartoonstock.com/)

Order

When there's order in things around you, there is order in your thoughts. You don't waste time on rearranging anything, you just move up and fulfill what you intended to. There's no stirring up and hesitation, you manage everything.
Read this article and you'll find out I'm right.

A Control Freak

I seem to be completely satisfied with anything only when I do it myself, otherwise I keep on checking all the details and try to find any defect. It's my character and it's too complicated for me to change anything in it. It's my second ego. Maybe this my feature was redoubled while working as a teacher because in order to save time I managed to check up students' works looking through them and finding all the mistakes.
