Profile
I enjoy a wide range of interests. I started listening to language courses 3 years ago, mostly Italian and my basic Russian is beginning to take shape. I'd be happy to talk about most subjects and read texts on fact or fiction. The language tools I've employed include cd courses, cartoons, news, novels and poetry. It's all for fun so I'll try out anything. I would like to achieve a reasonable conversational proficiency in Italian in the next few months (Spring 2015), if not sooner. My other interests include, childcare, carpentry, scientific developments, current affairs, history, culture, researching the internet about anything that crosses my path.

    It means nothing. Humming birds aren't known for singing. I'd guess it's a poor lyric.

    Explain to me... Walk on egg shells = tread carefully. You are in a delicate situation that can be damaged like eggshells under foot. Be careful/ thoughtful.

    A quiet morning in Rome

    Today, I wake up at nine o'clock. I had a nice breackfast with a coffe, a piece of bread with homemade marmelade of chinese tangerine. (Here, in Italy we call so it the little oval tangerin but i don't know the real scientific name)
    I ate also also ate two homemade biscuits. My boyfriend's mum prepared for me thees these fantastic biscuits with integral floor and a little sugar. I love it and I think is very healthy to eat this kind of biscuits (or, very healthy to eat THESE kindS of biscuitS) and not other industrial products.
    I drunk drank (I have drunk/ I drank. Conversely, I am drunk, but not from apple juice) a glass of apple juice and so, I take had another coffe espresso because I wasn't very awake, yet!
    At the half past ten, I went out, I walked for fifhteen minutes in Pigneto direction the direction of Pigneto. Pigneto is a nice district of Rome and I knew, in on the last sunday of the month there are is the vintage marketplace. But when I arrived on Pigneto street I didn't find nothing (Double negative, good in Italian, not in English - "I didn't find ANYthing") There wasn't stands. (There weren't any stands).
    So I thought I  wrong day (I thought I had come on the wrong day/ I thought it was the wrong day), perhaps the marketplace is in on the third sunday of the month! Or saturday? I don't Know!
    I haven't lost my joy for the fantastic sunny day and so, I went to a friend's house in the same street.
    My friend name is Sandra, a very nice girl.
    I talked with her about her change of house, she and her's boyfriend are leaving the flat where they live now and they are going to live in an other district in a more big bigger house with Giorgio, our friend.
    So we went out and we went to Necci, a typical italian coffee bar in the heart of Pigneto's heart. We taked had an orange juice and we smoked a cigarettes together while we talked about afternoon programs.

    I am The Prince Of Utopic Kingdom 2

    I am not interested in the throne., Because there are two princes ,who are older than me, too except me. But they are not interested in the throne too like me too. As a result, in this scenario there is no throne fight. It is more likely comedy. For instance, I -as a prince- enjoy playing computer games, and i am interested in new technologies. And I am interested in new Economy Minister. We are trying to write our dialogues now, it was just the frame. I hope it will be well. Even if it won't, i think we will enjoy it a lot. :)

    Happy Birthday, Daddy!

    Today one of the best man men ever has a birthday. Since I was born I was totally lavished by with the care, love and tenderness that my father and my mother gave me. But life is enough cruel. For the happiness of his girls (my mother and I) my father has to spend half of his precious life away from us. He is a chief engineer in the USA, so we can see him only 6 month per year in exchange of a material well-being. / so we only see him for six months of the year...
    Dear daddy! You are an example of generosity and kindness for me. I will try everything for your happiness. Thank you so much! Happy birthday, my best friend! I wish you a lot of health, calmness and "7 feet under a keel". Looking forward to seeing you and to going to the mountains like we always do.

    Kisses,
    A.

    Enrique Iglesias's Concert

    Hello there.

    First of all, I wanna say that all this is new for me and I don't really know what to write about; so I decided to share with you my experience with you of the Enrique Iglesias's concert last weekend.

    I am not Enrique's biggest fan, but I really felt that something was missing: he arrived late to the concert, then I didn't hear him really sing (I wasn't so far from the stage), and at the end of the concert he jumped and fell down from/off the stage, so he left.

    So, that's it, that was my experience =/

    A longer day

    In the right side of my computer secreen, where it shows ideas for writing, I'm seeing one of these tips which tell says "write about what happened today"
    At the end of the day, I can say: Today had has been one more day, and at the same time, today had been one less day. Which meaning is like one bottle of wine half full or half empty. It depends of humor on your feelings at a certain moment. If you are exahusted, you won't have space for humour in your brain. I'm pessimistic now.

    Accept and Let It Go

    Have you ever been in love with someone, came with an extremely-impressive attitude felt really good/ been really optimistic, but then suddenly you can't get in touch with her/him anymore? They have disappeared without a trace? I bet everyone have has experienced this matter. So, if you want to arrange how's imagine the rest of the story, that it must be easy to guess.

    It was hard for me when this complicated thing situation ruined my life. I was badly affected and let's say, nearly lost my mind because, basically, a feeling called 'broken heart' has finally shown its dangerous effect. Sounds cheesy, doesn't it? Having an emotional hurt is really hard more harder than an injury after an accident.

    Every single day, my mind keeps buzzing a question like; should I hold on to the memories or should I let it fly away like a dandelion blown by the wind?

    So, when every time that question appears in my head, I keep trying to persuade my mind by this with these words; accept and let it go.

    If someone left me, well, it is truly painful at the beginning. Forgetting memories is really hard at first and every time I remember those memories it hurts as if it has just happened.

    Well, all I know now what to do is to pack them up and put them in the deepest side of heart. With my ability to accept it, time goes by, perhaps those things become another lapse that I should have passed by.
