Яке Євро-2012! Наш сервіс ніколи не буде цивілізованим!

Обурррена!
Яке Євро-2012! В транспорті о 21 (!) годині "контролери" прискіпуються до іноземця, який щойно зайшов у тролейбус, бо нема квитка! А кондуктор є? А до водія дійти треба? А посвідчення "контролер" надав?
Ну от кому кричати? Куди скаржитися? І воно ж по-людськи себе не вміє поводити! Ані пари слів англійською! Якби була присутня - точно б стукнула!

Не шукай торішнього снігу!

Wanna Be Cold And Strict

Listening To The Sea

Sunny beach. Azure sea. The arches of palm trees belly dancing with the music of the wind.
Whisper of waves reveals the secrets of life. I would like to record all the wisdom, but don't want to mess around with paper and pen. I am writing in the sand. A warm and pliable sand agrees with everything that I paint on his body.
A minute. Two. Three. And the cold impartial guest-wave picks up my creations in the abyss of the sea. Only a moment ago it seemed to me that the answers to eternal questions were all in my pocket.
And now I'm here alone again. On the sunny beach. I'm watching the intricate dance of palm trees, listening to the sea...

Солнечный пляж. Лазурное море. Своды пальмы пляшут танец живота под музыку ветра.
Шепот волн раскрывает тайны жизни. Я хотела бы записать всю мудрость, но лень возиться с бумагой и ручкой. Я пишу на песке. Теплый и податливый, он согласен со всем, что я рисую на его теле.
Минута. Две. Три. И холодная беспристрастная гостья-волна забирает мои творения в пучину моря. Лишь минуту назад мне казалось, что ответы на вечные вопросы у меня в кармане.
И вот я снова здесь одна. На солнечном пляже. Наблюдаю замысловатые танцы пальм, слушаю море...

My New Moleskine ®

At last I've got my next Moleskine ® notebook. This time I've chosen the one from the limited edition 'Peanuts'.

My lovely cat liked the new notebook as much as me!

What a wonderful and inspiring words were waiting for me inside!

'You should start each day with a song in your heart, a gleam in your eye and peace in your soul!' - Lucy.
So now The Inspiration Book is waiting for me, for the first pen lines on the clean pages, for the first words and thoughts, for the new discoveries!

Traveler's Notes

Once again I've realized that I can't call my life full without writing.
But since I was a kid and started scratching my first sentences the main problem was to decide the topic and aim of the composition. If you describe something you must be really in it.
So now I've made up my mind - I'll be telling you about life in Egypt, about places, people, culture, traditions. Hope it'll be useful and interesting as well as inspiring!
And now, let's do it! Yalla (in Arabic)!

'What does not kill us will make us stronger'

Every person has problems. And each time you think that's the biggest problem in your life. You dive into dark thoughts, going deep-deep to the bottom...
But when I feel my life's going wrong, I'm reminding myself about disabled people, orphans, those who have greater problems than me. And then I thank God for all I have: health and family, soul and mind, friends and enemies, luck and mistakes. Yes, I thank God for the lessons I have, for life situations helping me to uncover wolves in sheep's clothing, teaching me and making wiser. Because 'What does not kill us will make us stronger'.
And whenever you find yourself on the bottom, look around - maybe you're in a goldmine!
