Si seulement je pouvais lui manquer

Heartbreaking song, by  Calogero.

Il suffirait simplement
Qu'il m'appelle
Qu'il m'appelle
D'où vient ma vie
Certainement pas du ciel

Lui raconter mon enfance
Son absence
Tous les jours
Comment briser le silence
Qui l'entoure

Aussi vrai que de loin
Je lui parle
J'apprends tout seul
A faire mes armes
Aussi vrai qu' j'arrête pas
D'y penser
Si seulement
Je pouvais lui manquer

Est ce qu'il va me faire un signe
Manquer d' un pere
N'est ce pas un crime
J'ai qu'une prière à lui adresser
Si seulement
Je pouvais lui manquer

Je vous dirais simplement
Qu'à part ça
Tout va bien
A part d'un père
Je ne manque de rien
Je vis dans un autre monde
Je m'accroche tous les jours
Je briserai le silence
Qui m'entoure

Aussi vrai que de loin
Je lui parle
J'apprends tout seul
A faire mes armes
Aussi vrai qu' j'arrête pas
D'y penser
Si seulement
Je pouvais lui manquer

Est ce qu'il va me faire un signe
Manquer d' en pere
N'est ce pas un crime
J'ai qu'une prière à lui adresser
Si seulement
Je pouvais lui manquer.

Divine Etta James

Singing "I just wanna make love to you"

I don't want you to be no slave;
I don't want you to work all day;
But I want you to be true,
And I just wanna make love to you.
...Love to you...
...Love to you...Ooooohhooh...
...Love to you...

All I want to do is wash your clothes;
I don't want to keep you indoors.
There is nothing for you to do
But keep me makin' love to you.
...Love to you...
...Love to you...Ooooohhooh...
...Love to you...
And I can tell by the way you walk that walk;
I can hear by the way you talk that talk;
I can know by the way you treat your girl
That I can give you all the lovin' in the whole wide world!
All I want you to do is make your bread!
Just to make sure you're well-fed!
I don't want you sad and blue!
And I just wanna make love to you.
...Love to you...
...Love to you...Ooooohhooh...
...Love to you...Ooooh.

And I can tell by the way you walk that walk;
And I can hear by the way you talk that talk;
And I can know by the way you treat your girl
That I could give you all the lovin' in the whole wide world!
Oh, all I wanna do - All I wanna do is cook your bread!
Just to make sure that you're well-fed!
I don't want you sad and blue,
And I just wanna make love to you.
...Love to you...
...Love to you...Ooooohhooh...
...Yeah, love to you...Ooooh.
...Love to you...

P90X Shoulders and Arms

Next workout in P90X is shoulders and arms.

I do not have weights at home so I am doing this exercise with my bands but I am not very happy as I do not feel the "burn", it is like it is too easy for me.

I think that for this one I shall have to buy some weights which will allow me to do the whole range of the exercises and really feel the muscles working.

This is again a good and basic workout that should not be taken lightly by those who are not beginners, this is some serious workout!

Sapfo quotes

There is no place for grief in a house which serves the Muse

You came and I was longing for you.
You cooled a heart that burned with desire

 Although only breath, words which I command are immorta

 I have not had one word from her

Frankly I wish I were dead
When she left, she wept
a great deal; she said to me, "This parting must be
endured, Sappho. I go unwillingly."

I said, "Go, and be happy
but remember (you know
well) whom you leave shackled by love

"If you forget me, think
of our gifts to Aphrodite
and all the loveliness that we shared

"all the violet tiaras,
braided rosebuds, dill and
crocus twined around your young neck

"myrrh poured on your head
and on soft mats girls with
all that they most wished for beside them

"while no voices chanted
choruses without ours,
no woodlot bloomed in spring without song..

Guide to make up brushes

I put make up every day and I know how to use some basic tools in order to achieve a beautiful result (based on my standards of course).

But still, I would llike to know HOW IN THE WORLD CAN WE USE ALL OF THE MAKE UP BRUSHES THAT EXIST!

Came across this very helpful tutorial on you tube!

Hope you enjoy it.

A Boyar Wedding Feast

By Konstantin Makovsky.

What an amazing painting, full of vibrant colors, expressions and feelings.

The blushing bride that keeps her eyes low, the curious child next to her that is trying to see her face, the loving groom, the grown up and drunk men with their big gestures, the servants that bring the food, the detailed clothing, the live fabrics, everything is a true feast in this glorious wedding which is definitely worth celebrating!

Departures, 2009 Best Foreign Language Oscar

I had never seen this film which won the 2009 Best Foreign Language Oscar, and when I found that it was on TV the other day I just had to watch it, even though I was really tired.

Sit relaxed, get yourself a handkerchief, close mobiles etc, and dive into a beautiful journey that celebrates life through death.


It is not depressing, on the contrary. 

It is a poetic film that gives you the opportunity to see that even an entirely different culture as is the Japanese,  dealing with death issues which are considered a taboo - as it is everywhere - can help you appreciate life and what you have.

It is a MUST SEE!

Dolly Parton quotes

I wanted to be the first woman to burn her bra, but it would have taken the fire department four days to put it out.

 I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else.

 If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

This weekend I am thinking of bringing the 90s back with some REALLY high platform shoes and many, many colors...

P90X - Plyometrics

This is the second exercise routin of the P90X box.

Tony Horton has added some fun and not so boring exercises like the "rock star" jumb to keep your mind from thinking OMG HOW DIFFICULT IS THIS ONE?

For a beginner to succesfully complete the whole hour without collapsing would be probably a dream...

Even I who consider myself to be in a fairly good shape had some difficulty doing all the jumbs, and ups, and downs, and more jumbs for the whole duration of the workout without losing my breath from time to time.

I cannot say that it is my favorite workout of the whole set, but it is definitely making you sweat.. and THAT'S the point!

Janis Joplin - To Love Somebody

Just listen!

Francis Bacon quotes

A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it.

Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

 Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.

 He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.

 Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let use be preferred before uniformity.

 I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.

 Science is but an image of the truth.

Science and Charity

By.. Picasso.

A painting with strong feelings jumbing out of the camvas (dying mother, her child that will become an orphan, the cold doctor, the nurse that tries to comfort) that was made by Picasso when he was just 16 years old.

Just a proof for those who say that he could not paint...

Well.. the title says it all.

Look of the day

Not so cold today, which is good, but with a chance of raining, which is bad.

Therefore a nice pair of jeans with a light coat is probably the best choice.

And just for the fun of it, a "tribal" necklace will make the difference.

Nicccccceeeeeee

All of my love, all of my kissing , you don't know what you' ve been missing

OH BOY!

His carreer may have lasted for only 20 months but OH BOY does he still remain an inspiration for rock.

All of my love - all of my kissin’
you don’t know what you’ve been a-missin’
oh boy - when you’re with me - oh boy
the world will see that you were meant for me

All of my life I’ve been a-waitin’
tonight there’ll be no hesitatin’
oh boy - when you’re with me - oh boy
the world will see that you were meant for me

Stars appear and shadows fallin'
you can hear my heart callin'
and a little bit of lovin’ makes everything right
I’m gonna see my baby tonight

All of my love - all of my kissin’
you don’t know what you’ve been a-missin’
oh boy - when you’re with me - oh boy
the world will see that you were meant for me

The collar of the pigeon

By W. E. Heine.

You like mystery books, with assassins, and knights, and exotic places, and plot twists etc?

Then you have got to read this one.

A lovely book, easy to read with action that takes you away and with descriptions that make you travel in another time and another place so easily.

I love history, I love mystery, I love crime stories and this novel contains all these characteristics well combined.

Recommended to all those who want to open a door in time.

Aristotle Onassis quotes

After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.

 

 If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.

 

 We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.

 

 

Girl at the mirror

By the wonderful Norman Rockwell.

May not be one of his most well know images, but still it is so true to his style!

Wonderfull little girl looking at her self at the mirror and imitatting the image of the magazine while she leaves aside her doll, a sign that she is starting to grow up and does not she her self as a child anymore.

Beautiful!

P90X - Chest and Back

Well... things are as simple as that: Push ups and Pull ups.

You push and you pull and you push again and you pull once more.

This is what it takes if you want to reallly, and by really I mean REALLY bring it on.

Simple moves but SO effective get you the best results and this is the epitomy of simplicity as well as effectiveness.

I really love the work and encouragement that the instructor is giving as well as his  moto "quality over quantity".

Less reps are acceptable as long as they are done the right way.

No fooling around with some humor and uplifting spirit may eventually get to do that chin over the pull up bar.. someday... who knows?

What a lady!

May West quotes

A hard man is good to find.

A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him.

 Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else.

Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from.

 I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.

 You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Modern flapper girl

Evan Rachel Wood stepped out dressed head to tow as a 20's gilr but in such a modern way.

Her hair, her makeup, her Gucci dress, her shoes, everything is a tribute to the 20's but brought together in such a modern package.

Excellent choice Evan!

Look of the day

Weather is much, much better today.

A bit cold so yes, still need a nice jacket but high heels can be worn easily.

Plus, a little color in our lives is always for the best.

Nice...

Never tired of dancing to this one!
