unknown girl

today was a real hactic day.i am tired and stressed out. i just need to switch off for a couple of days.
to come to work i had to fight my way between children with costumes and parents with pushchairs and it took me 30 minutes to arrive instead of the usual 10 minutes.
well... i arrived.right now i am at work and there is this girl down stairs who really has a nice voice. i never saw her here before therefore i know nothing about here, not her name not her age. but i really enjoyed hearing her playing.
when i peeked down to check who was down stairs i saw her and she was scribbling on some papers and i thought that she was doing some of her homework. after some time she came up stairs and asked "which one of you is tess?" and i am like "how does this girl know my name?" well she came running to me and left some papers on my file and went on distributing papers to my other colleague. i did not touch the papers since i did not know her and thought that she just left them by mistake.
then i opened them and there was something scribbled on one of the papers. dont ask me what was scribbled on them cause she really has a bad handwriting (after all she is still young) but when i saw that what was written on the paper where inside a heart, it just turned my mood up side down. mind you im still tired and all but at least this girl changed my mood for the better.
i'm soooo glad :)

Lost

you're lost in the crowd.

you start searching for a familiar face whom can help you to find your path, and thus, you take extra care in focusing on everyone's face in the search for a friendly one.but through your search you notice many more things...new things...things which you didn't notice before.

you notice that woman who is sitting in the corner with her ice cream melting all over her hand, dripping on her shirt, with her gaze lost in the crowd looking for someone who can be her light. she is lost on her thoughts contemplating about her next move and still cannot figure it out.

you notice that old man who tries to climb those couple of steps in front of him, he cannot do so without the help of someone from the crowd. people are too busy to help help, damn they are way too busy to even notice him and therefore he tries to climb them alone with no avail.

you see that kid who tries who get his parents' attention. he tries to be on his best behavior so that they don't get mad at him. he calls them to play with him. he asks them to buy candy floss...it would add some sweetness to his sorrow without knowing it. well, his parents are more interested in fighting and being angry at each other, then taking care of their little loved one.

you notice that teenager who is among all her friends and all of them are laughing but still she is alone. she feels that her world is crashing on her and no one notices it.

from the corner of your eye you notice a sweet couple. they seem so happy hand in hand walking together looking at all the beautiful and colourful stands. but you also notice that he is absorbed in his thoughts and that he looks at his girlfriend but does not see her. he hears her but does not listen to what she is saying.he walks with her but does not have a destination.

well, you notice many things while you pay that little extra attention to the people around you...but still many times we choose to keep searching only for our path. what you don't notice is that you are already on you path and those people who cannot climb the stairs, or are lost, or are unhappy or trying to get that extra ounch of attention, are on your way and you are supposed to deal with them in order to find your track. on the other hand many of us still choose to turn their face and keep walking . . . alone, afraid . . . searching . . . with no success.

The Guy

Starting a new job.
Meeting your boss.
Meeting your new clients.
Meet your new workmates.

Everything is new.
Everything is different.
Everything seems sooo complicated.
Everyone expects that you know what your job is and you don't ask for a discription or where are the things.

Then you see your saviour.

He's helpful, gentile, generous and the only one who dared being seen talking to you. But above all he's realllllyyyy cute. You got lost in those green eyes as soon as you saw him. Your world started spinning, you were lost. His lips started moving but you couldn't hear what words were coming out (hopefully he did not invite you for a drink).

When his lips stop moving, he goes back to his desk which happens to be near yours.

You try to get some work done but wtf!! lets keep looking at him.

Technology

Is it possible to go abroad and do not take any photos just rely on ur memory to remember those wonderful scenes?
Is it possible to communicate with others around us without using mobile phones but communicate with them by talking directly to them?
Is it possible to know what is happening around the world without surfing through the internet?
Is it possible to help someone even without sending an sms donating money but giving a helping hand?
Is it possible to view a place in all its 360 degrees without looking at the place on a website?

Well...yes it is possible, why not.technology is not everything.we do not have to rely on technology for all the smallest things in our every-day-life.
We can manage to cope on our own without technology having it better on us and those around us....

...but...

If you have technology... use it.
Moderate yourselfdont make it your godu are better then technology and all its gadgets.

A word of Advice (Accetta il Consiglio - Linus)

Well . . . and even today I am back. This time with a song.
No, no, rest assured I did not write it so you're safe there. A couple of nights ago I wash searching for somthing to play from my guitar file and came across the lyrics of an Italian song by Linus, I heard a few years ago. Don't know why but i really like the song. Mind you, its not exactly a song, its more of a person reading a text with background music, but if someone out there understands italian, it is definitely worth 4 minutes of your time. Anyways, the song's title is Accetta il Consiglio and here is a lyrics translation made by me...so bare with me it the translation is not perfect.
Here it comes...

Value the powers of beauty and youth. Don't think about them. You will only understand the powers of beauty and youth once they fade out. But trust me, in 20 years time you will see those old photos in a totally different way. How many possibilites you had, and what a magnificent figure! You weren't fat after all.
Don't worry about the future or worry about it, but keep in mind that worry will only help you as much as chewing a gum will help you will solving an algbra equation. The true life problems will surely be things which you never thought about. Problems which will struck you at 4 of a lazy Tuesday afternoon. Do one thing everytime you are frightened. Sing. Don't be cruel to other people's hearts, but don't let anyone be cruel to yours.
Wash your teeth. Don't waste time with jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometime your the last one, but after all, the race you're running, is only against yourself.
Remember all the compliments you received, forget the insults. If you really do this, tell me how to do it.
Hold tight to all your love letters, throw away old bills. Relax. Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do in your life. The most interesting people I know, at the age of 20, they didn't know what they wanted from life. The most interesting 40 year olds, still don't know.
Have loads of calcium and be kind to your knees. When they will be ruined, you will miss them.
Maybe you'll marry or maybe not. Maybe you'll have kids or maybe not. Maybe you'll get divorced at 40. Maybe you'll dance with her at your 75th anniversary. Anyway it goes, don't congratulate yourself that much, but don't he hard on yourself. Your choices are betts, like anyone elses.
Treasure your body. Use it in any way you can. Without fear and without thinking what others say. Its your most precious instrument you will ever have. Dance. Even if the only place you have is the living room. Read the instructions, even if you wown't follow them. Don't read beauty tips, they will only make you feel ugly.
Try and get to know your parents. You don't know when they will be gone forever. Treat your brothers well. They are your link to the past and probably the most who will take care of you in the future. Keep in mind that friends come and go. But the most precious ones, will remain. Do your best in order to cut down geographic distances and cultural differences because the more you grow old, the more you will need the people you know when you were young.
Live in New York for a while, but leave it before it dehuminizes you. Live in California as well, but leave it before you become stupid.
Take good care of your hair, or when you'll be 40, you will have the hair of an 80 year old.
Beware when accepting advises, but be patient with the person giving them. Advices are a form of nostalgy. Giving advices is a way of bringing back the past, cleaning and varish the worst parts and recycle it for more than its worth. But accept my advice...for this time.

I hope you liked it as much as I did...
And for the benefit of those of you who understand Italian...here are the original lyrics....

Goditi potere e bellezza della tua gioventu. Non ci pensare. Il potere di bellezza e gioventu lo capirai solo una volta appassite. Ma credimi tra vent'anni guarderai quelle tue vecchie foto. E in un modo che non puoi immaginare adesso. Quante possibilita avevi di fronte e che aspetto magnifico avevi! Non eri per niente grasso come ti sembrava.
Non preoccuparti del futuro. Oppure preoccupati, ma sapendo che questo ti aiuta quanto masticare un chewing-gum per risolvere un'equazione algebrica. I veri problemi della vita saranno sicuramente cose che non t'erano mai passate per la mente. Di quelle che ti pigliano di sorpresa alle quattro di un pigro martedi pomeriggio. Fa una cosa, ogni giorno che sei spaventato. Canta. Non essere crudele col cuore degli altri. Non tollerare la gente che e crudele col tuo.
Lavati i denti. non perder tempo con l'invidia. A volte sei in testa. A volte resti indietro. La corsa e lunga e alla fine e solo con te stesso.
Ricorda i complimenti che ricevi, scordati gli insulti. Se ci riesci veramente dimmi come si fa.
Conserva tutte le vecchie lettere d'amore, butta i vecchi estratti conto. Rilassati. Non sentirti in colpa se non sai cosa vuoi fare della tua vita. Le persone piu interessanti che conosco, a venti due anni non sapevano che fare della loro vita. I quarantenni piu interessanti che conosco ancora non lo sanno.
Prendi molto calcio. Sii gentile con le tue ginocchia, quando saranno partite ti mancheranno.
Forse ti sposerai o forse no. Forse avrai figli o forse no. Forse divorzierai a quarant'anni. Forse ballerai con lei al settancinquesimo anniversario di matrimonio. Comunque vada, non congratularti troppo con te stesso, ma non rimproverarti neanche. Le te scelte sono scommesse. Come queslle di chiunque altro.
Goditi il tuo corpo. Usalo in tutti i modi che puoi. Senza paura e senza temere quel che pensa la gente. E' il piu grande strumento che potrai mai avere. Balla. Anche se il solo posto che hai per farlo e il tuo soggiorno.
Leggi le istruzioni, anche se poi non le seguirai. Non leggere le riviste di bellezza. Ti faranno solo sentire orrendo.
Cerca di conoscere i tuoi genitori. Non puoi sapere quando se ne andranno per sempre. Tratta bene i tuoi fratelli. Sono il migliore legame con il passato e quelli che piu probabilmente avranno cura di te in futuro. Renditi conto che gli amici vanno e vengo. Ma alcuni, i piu preziosi, rimarranno. Datti da fare per colmare le distanze geografiche e di stili di vita, perche piu diventi vecchio, piu hai bisogno delle persone che conoscevi da giovane.
Vivi a New York per un po`, ma lasciala prima che ti indurisca. Vivi anche in California per un po`, ma lasciala prima che ti rammollisca.
Non fare pasticci coi capelli, se no quando avrai quarant'anni sembreranno di un ottantacinquenne.
Sii cauto nell'accettare consigli, ma sii paziente con che li dispensa. I consigli sono una forma di nostalgia. Dispensarli e un modo di ripescare il passato dal dimenticatoio, ripulirlo, passare la vernice sulle parti piu brutte e riciclarlo per piu di quel che valga. Ma accetta il consiglio...per questa volta.

Hate!!!

did you ever meet this person? a person who thinks he or a she, is great, perfect, gorgeous, funny with great personality, thoughtful, kind, sweet, generous, loyal, trustworthy, honest, continuously asking you for favours, and not just everyday favours, but the kind of lending huge sums of money, continous patience ecc but then you discover that the only flaw you show in your behaviour will be told and gossiped to everyone. every one will know that you lost some money from your pocket, that you did not pay the bills on time, that s/he GAVE you something and then tells everyone that you stole it but s/he tells you to your face that s/he has been kind to you by giving you that generous offer.

well i met this person. and from here i can openly say that i hate you.
i hate you not only from the bottom of my heart but from the deepest tissues in my feet up to my legs, tights, straight to my rectum, intestines, stomach, kidney, liver up to my lungs, air and food pipes, tonsiles, mouth and tounge, direct to my nose, eyes, brain, hair roots and hair tips (imagine me electrified with my hair life einstein).
i can't stand you any more, you're insolent, bastard, miser, stupid, ......................

aaaaaaaaa and thats how i feel about you

She got the house and destroyed everything which belonged to her now ex-husband. She threw his clothes in the fireplace. She slept with a guy she met the night before and made sure that her ex found them in bed together only to hurt him.

She forgets about her new found love.

They remarry and now form the cutest and happiest couple one can see.
Romantic
Madly in love
Helpful
Faithful
Understanding
and Mindful towards each other.

They now appreciate the small things in life. They don't take forgranted each other, they take care about the feelings that their soul mate has.

He still loves his job.

...but...

They love each other more.
