Gabriel

2008-12-12T01:07:00.000-08:00

Last night I've seen off my girlfriend Gabriel to the airport.
It went home, to London. She is doing a very humane work - she is treating dogs. Gabriel says that she understands dogs. And dogs understand her. People often buy pets as entertainment for them, but gradually they get attached to them and dogs become as members of the family, especially quickly it is happening with older persons.
Gabriel likes very much to travel. She traveled almost all South America and says that there people are leaving absolutely other life, different from Europe. They have absolutely other values, other view on life! She loves very much Mexico and Cuba. She brought a lot of photos from there. One month ago she was in Greece where now are disorders. She is saying that most of all she liked Corfu and least - Santorini. She expected to see in Greece many historical monuments, but in comparison with Iran it is a simple small group of stones. In her opinion the government of Greece do not make anything for showing to people the history of the country. Even Egypt flashes on the screen more often! And nevertheless the most important thing in our life - harmony. If there is a favorite occupation and your soul is tranquil - all around is perfect. It is a pity that we remember about this rarely.

I don't want to think about....

I don't want to think about the days when I will be old, the day when my parents will die or about other terrible things that may happen, but thinking about this I begin to see the present as a gift, life can be a nightmare or a sweet dream,

Books

2008-06-25T23:28:00.000-07:00

The first book i read named "Repose" by Robert Schneider, was about a very talented musician, born in a poor family. At 7 years he fell from a rock, as a result his body developed different from other people, his eyes turned yellow. The other children were afraid of him, even his parents kept him away from the society because were ashamed of their child. Not only his eyes made him different but his voice too, depending on feelings and what he wanted to say his voice could be very pleasant or scaring, also he could imitate perfectly every voice of the people he knew.
Children of his age found out about him and used to go at the window of the room where he was kept, and scream, "yellow eyes!! yellow eyes!!" he opened the window and with his angry voice told them to go away from there, the children got scared and ran away . Once, one of this children didn't run, and they became friends
The book has a sad ending, he fells in love with the girl who is going to marry his best friend, even being at the moment when his talent was recognized by people who could make him very rich, he wasn't happy.
Was bothered by a question "How can you tell a woman that you will love her all your life, if half of it you sleep?", he decided not to sleep anymore, taking a lot of medicines that kept him awake he managed not to sleep for 2 weeks, but his body couldn't take this anymore, and he died.
The book ended with a scene which presents the girl he loved after 4 years from his death, she was walking on a road with her 3 children, one of her teeth fell and her arms were dirty, walking she suddenly thought about him, then, one of her children asked "Mother what is love?", She wanted to answer, but didn't know.
I found this book philosophical.

A tradition has appeared to post at the end of each month. ;)

And probably I’ll quit posting at all till the end of the spring.

2008-02-22T20:34:00.000-08:00

Fight till the end!

That is the motto of today!

I know what is waiting for me today! Brrr….

2008-01-24T19:48:00.000-08:00

My biggest gladness is my son! When he’ll wake up we will start experiencing this world again.

Soon I’ll try to post hear his pictures and some video.

I wish you a good day!

Adventures

Probably it would be the most interesting adventure of my life.

Some time ago I was diving for the first time and I was stunned that it is possible to breath under the water!

And I think that I would experience even stronger feeling after returning into my childhood.

I’ve never been Fernando Alonso fan and last season only strengthen my dislike. Whomever he will become cyclist or street cleaner – he is a bad person…. Wrong.

"Format war"

2007-10-25T03:26:00.000-07:00

"Format war" continues: according to Home Media Magazine edition, sales of blu-ray disks in USA during nine months in 2007 almost twice have exceeded HD-DVD sales.

From January till September, 2007 in USA about 1.4 million HD-DVD has been sold. For the same period inhabitants of this country have got 2.6 million films on blu-ray. The similar parity of sales was observed in July, 2007: 795 thousand HD-DVD and 1.6 million blu-ray.

By estimations of analysts though New Year's holidays also will provoke sharp rise of sales of both formats, release in USA of PlayStation 3 with 40-Gb hard disk costing 399 dollars in November, 2007 can deduce for a long time blu-ray in leaders of sales.

Today I’ve got a bill. I don’t like to receive bad news! Do we really pay few taxes to pay so much for our apartments? From the other hand – how much house owners pay?...probably they’ve got used to big numbers, not like me.

2007-09-09T06:41:00.001-07:00

I haven’t accessed the Internet during all summer. And I’m not sorry about that. I’ve bought a new TV 42PC1RR and speakers for it HT-TKR15R – now I have a super equipment.

So my friends often visit me and we communicate in evenings drinking coffee but not chatting via ICQ.

How to find needed site?

2007-07-24T21:10:00.000-07:00

It would be great, if there were in the Internet some search engines on certain themes. For example I need to find illnesses and treatment of my window plants. All good sites on this theme I already know for a long time, but not always they contain all the necessary information. Sometimes I find a site, I think, that it new, but I just see it for the first time! The site was made several years ago, but it is very difficult to find it in the internet. Even worse affairs are with cookery sites. I have already come to conclusion that it is better to find people at forums who already did the necessary pie, than I will do it how is written on a site. Sometimes it is a translation from French, for example, and it can be very bad translation! So instead of a tasty pie or a bun results something completely different with what I was treated in Paris!

The coolest sites are sites with links to the necessary resources. Certainly you get tired after 10-15 sites, but in fact it is possible to make a break and to have a bite my favourite bun with cherry! By the way, I like different juices very much. And now I’ve just learned that juices are food! So now I drink simple water. Though I also drink different juices, I just understand now that juices can’t slake my thirst!

All the day today the air conditioner is blowing into my side. It is impossible to work without it, and in the same time I’m afraid that I’ll fall sick.

I have created my page here, and I want to boast of it. I can’t wait till this working day will be over – I want to go to a café to eat my favourite ice cream!

Cool Santorini picture! Thank you very much Robin!

Today I visited classical music concert! Grand piano is a really royal instrument. I like live music very much! My soul is flying today!

bicycle

2007-03-07T09:00:00.000-08:00

My son is asking for a bicycle, It is spring outside and he is about to rush about the courtyard with his friends.
The old bicycle does not suit already, he wants a new one.
What can I do? Probably I should buy a new one otherwise he will be pressing me like it was with the handy.
Well, I hope no flying skates will be invented before he becomes adult.
