10th of August, 2012

I was at this little place where they fix shoes and copy keys, waiting to get 2 keys re-touched. I had been talking earlier to the man operating the machine, about the economy, about life, about our future plans and why some countries are better than others. At this particular moment, I was wondering how the key-copying machine worked, since it's so fast. It seemed totally complicated and was totally in the unknown.

Next thing I know, he asks me whether I knew how it works and if I wanted to make one myself. Hah! So I copied a key. All by myself. And I didn't even have to pay for it, he gave it to me as a present. :)

Also yesterday, was craving cashews (this happens everyday, actually :D) but for some reason didn't buy any. And in the evening, I met with T. who brought me a bag of goodies: strawberries, a bag of nuts'n berries and .. cashews! Perfect treat after a very long day.

Conclusion? My thoughts are producing immediate results. Next step would be to figure out how to be responsible and channel them to the positive side rather than the negative.

I've had an amazing week and it's hard to put it into sentences. I'm letting it sink in, figuring out how to integrate the newly found truth and meaning into my life.

Sending out gratitude and love. I am here.

Some words from the Tamera manifesto:

There cannot be peace on earth as long as there is war in love. The new world has overcome all forms of the fight between the genders. Neither chauvinism nor feminism exist. The genders stand as equals beside each other and work together for the same goal, the reunification of life. Questions of monogamy or polygamy, of couple-love or free-love are not ideological or religious questions, but rather questions of personal development and the decision of those who are involved. Love is a natural process, not a legalistic issue. There is no legal claim on love, or right of ownership of a love-partner, but there is great trust and deep solidarity between the female and the male halves of humankind. Sexuality is liberated from all forms of religious suppression, lies, humiliation and violence. It serves - in addition to reproduction - only mutual love, health and joy of life.

I guess they call it 'an existential crisis'. What now?

with love

If we zoom out we'll see a lot of people going to airports and flying home. We get into these iron boxes with wings that take us unnaturally fast to a land of dear. Sometimes also deer, but dear. Drag. Carinho. Most of my friends here are flying out to their home lands and most of the conversations lately have been: So when do you leave? / Come back? / Are you here for New Year's? etc.

I'm going to Switzerland, tomorrow. And I'm excited as hell because it was my idea and it's a damn good one and it's coming true. My parents have never visited my brother who's lived in Zurich for 5 years now. They always find some kind of excuse not to go. Until now, when they couldn't deny THE PLAN: getting the family together on neutral grounds :) So there you have it. We all get a white Christmas with the family + it's in a German country, which I think is the most beautiful setting there can be this time of year.
6 days of playing catan, eating good food, Christmas lights, a perfect Weihnachtsmarkt, singing carols, skiing and gluhwein. I don't know what more I could wish for.

Wish you all a very merry Christmas!

before/after

work

 

my room

the view from my room

inside and out

day and night, two sides of the same coin, tangential points of parallel realities

lyrics

I somehow resonate with these; ideas and theories that I've already thought about. Of course I enjoy finding them in songs.

After the storm

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Awake my soul

Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all

But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall

Lend me your eyes, I can change what you see

But your sould you must keep, totally free

who would've thought

Careful there, a proof of madness can be easily mistaken as a proof of love.

I'm suffering from the refresh syndrome. Click, click, refresh, noooo, there are no new messages in the last 5 minuteeeeees!

good karma

So i need to write a motivation letter for a project I'm applying for. In search for inspiration, I opened stereomood.com and decided to listen to the 'good karma' playlist, because, of course, I'm in need of good karma. And then.. whadd'ya know? The fist song that comes up is Gomez-See the world. Now that's what I call good karma :)

play

I had been waiting for Christmas for so long and it passed so so fast. I'll be back at work in notime and, at this rate, i'll most probably soon be 90 :).

But i guess that's ok as long as i don't forget to play.

Hope you're all having fun. I'm becoming addicted to my android :).

just sounded familiar

And you're gonna remember all the horrible things I've done, and you'll try to convince yourself that I've changed. But I'm gonna start doing all those horrible things again, cos' I haven't changed, and then you will realise that I am an insane choice.

curious

How does someone get from 'wow!' to 'meh..' in two weeks?

golden september

Who would have thought that spending seven hours on a train could make up a perfect, beautiful Saturday afternoon?

After leaving Bucharest with a horrible mood, I found myself on a train right next to an old friend from high school. It's unbelievable how things sometimes just happen, this perfect planning of the Universe leaves me in awe.

They say that when you are searching for something, the right people and the right experiences come to you. And they do, after this weekend I can totally back that up. I got new leads on figuring out what I wanna do next, I just love it when I find out stuff that I didn't even know I didn't know. :)

Good vibes and apple flowers in September

lights are brighter in the dark

I know it's only August, but I stumbled upon this picture and it took me away to a story about a perfect Christmas.

thanx

Thank you for the people, for the parks, for the closeness, for ginger, thank you for fresh basil and bangs and smiles and souls, thank you for the touching, for the glittering eyes, for the butterflies, thank you for the care and the fun, for the beautiful things and the beautiful minds, for the streets, for this hot air, for this mood of fullness and connection, thank you for my dreams and for my beauty, thank you for beauty, for adventure, for the knowing and the unknown, thank you for the spirits and the challenges and the quiet, thank you so much.

argh

Look, I'm one of the most peaceful people ever. I don't believe in fights, I don't believe in right and wrong, I believe in empathy and understanding one another and trying to make ends meet.

I also believe that we live the things we need in order to learn our lessons, and I keep trying to understand what the lesson out if this one was. What I feel like doing is not forgiving and understanding; in this case, that would be the easy way out. This time I feel like shouting it out loud, because it's outrageous and shocking and unbelievable.

special hello

To all my stalkers.

Why don't you say hi back? Special day today, I can even answer questions. Who's first? :)

inspiration for a beautiful weekend

have a weekend like this, everyone
