Dear Spring,

honestly, it is awesome you are back after such a long time. I even little bit missed you. You know, it is enjoyable to get rid of winter jackets, scarves and boots! It is so exciting to feel warmer air, hear chirping birds and see the trees with the first buds, including spring flowers shining in the grass.

However, dear Spring, you get little bit on my nerves, you know??? In fact... I am not used to so much light after long winter and it gives me damn headache!!At such state of mind I am able to kill all these singing birds as each voice makes me feel like my head will explode! What about something sooo awesome like Spring tireness???? It makes me so damn exhausted that I feel like a zombie and guess what??? We changed time and now I miss one hour of sleep so I m not ordinary zombie but super mega zombie!!! Trees full of allergens give some people allergy so they are just sneezing and sneezing! What the hell one should wear not to get sick??? In the morning it is 2 degrees and then in the afternoon the temparute raises to 18 degrees! Spring, can you tell me, why are you doing this to me???!!!

Anyway, let me count till 10 and calm myself down because eventually I won't change anything and have to tolerate you... at least I will enjoy picnic in the grass and will absorb some positive energy to survive and to be ready to welcome hot summer :-D

                                                       Yours,

                                                                 Luci       

He is without doubt very intelligent guy with golden heart. His carrying attitude is something very rare to see nowadays and I think one day his wife will appreciate this side of him a lot! He is sincere but when he disagrees with something, he better stays away, which proves he doesn't like to be involved in some stupid conflicts. On the other hand once in a blue moon when he is angry, it is better to run away as he can turn to furious typhoon :D Let me add that he is very attentive and doesn't hesitate to make his friends happy. His mind is very creative and he is able to come up with awesome ideas. Anyway time to time laziness controls him and then he becomes almost "invisible". Honestly speaking I admire him for keeping his positive attitude towards life despite everything he went through! He is a true hero! He doesn't hide his emotions and especially his sadness, when it comes to the situation in his beloved country, which he miss so much.

Who is he???

I would like to dedicate this blog to all shameless gold diggers around the world!!! Unfortunately I guess, I won't be so blessed, so that all would be able to read it but maybe just some of them like Heather Mills (exwife of Paul McCartney) or Kim Kardashian, will realize their calculating, scheming behaviour is pretty awful .. hahaaaaa.. good joke, I know :-) Anyway, this is not just a question of the celebrities but of many girls, whose materialistic preferencies are priority number one, which overshadows and slowly kills their inner beauty.

Honestly, I have to admit that guys in some countries don't have it easy at all. Just imagine a guy, who graduated, struggles with getting some good job and nobody wants him as he is not well-situated, not rich enough! Such guy will sooner or later be frustrated because his situation is really very desperate. He must work 24/7 to save some money because only then he will become attractive to some girl!! So please… can anybody tell me, what happened? Why girls became so mean and disgusting without real, nice values? Why only money matters? Nowadays in many parts of the world women are independent with own income. They have two hands to earn money, exactly like men do. So I really can't understand, why there is still some unwritten rule that a guy should provide everything to sattisfy their greedy needs. Besides, some girls just think, it would be the best to CATCH some wealthy "fish", no matter how he looks like and what is his personality, the point is… they are ready to love his wallet, not him.

Anyway, let me tell you that when I met my husband, we he had nothing!!! We both were even jobless and got some money from government as it was really hard to get a good job in my city. However, we decided to save money – even these little money, later on we both started working and kept on saving money together!!! We had saved so much that we were able to buy our apartment and of course something like this is in my opinion, what it should be about. These two should be proud of what they achieved together and I do believe that it makes them closer. I can't imagine that nowadays in my situation I would be just financially supported by somebody because it would make me feel like a cheap prostitute..

I wish, all these gold diggers would wake up, would have some empathy for all these guys out there, who must work hard, to prove something, who must save money … so that SOMEBODY would notice them! Nothing is for free, I know but when it comes to relationships, things should be equal but unfortunately some weird materialistic visions are able to destroy real true values of life and I wonder, where it is all heaeding…

This description will be damn hard because to describe EC God is almost impossible for idiot like me!!! In fact, he uses still the same avatar of his artificial plastic surgery 40 y/o face he loves to brag about and let me say that his ego sometimes flies so high that I am afraid it will get from the atmosphere to the universe one day! Now I am wondering about his facial expression after reading my first lines :D
Anyway, let me be nice.. Guys, no doubt our dear Danny became essential part of EC and EC without him  ..many of us can't even imagine something like this! However, how do I percieve this "creature"? Read more...here is my analysis :D

Mr. Clark is true gentleman, who likes being surrounded by women but ..just one of them is privileged to be deeply written in his heart - his beloved wife Tanya. I am sure that Danny can't do things just half-way..I do believe once he immerses himself into his world of music, composing then he is able to stay there for hours and surprises everybody with his creativity. Even though he seems to be very strict he means it in good way. Sometimes he can be very rude and harsh with his sincerity and then each his word is stabbing like a needle...oh noo not needle but big knife. Did I say knife...no way! It feels like being killed by axe when Danny is in his "mood" :D Now we got to negatives, so let me add one more because nobody is saint...am I right, Danny? Well.. if somebody disagree with him ...ohhhh... then it is like World War 3 is behind the corner, he can be arrogant and believes only he is right.. funny that I m saying this, ha? :D
I am really impressed with his general knowledge and desire to know more and more about different things. I can say that his mature experienced side with his great humour is  without doubt something we all can just admire.. ok at least I do ...
I am really glad to be your friend, Mr. Clark ;)

Who is he? Do I know? Friendship isn't just about long-term relationships, why not to write about something little bit unknown? In fact he gives an impression of a mysterious guy, which might draw attention of others but he doesn't do it on purpose, it is his natural side. His nice words and attitude shows he is very kind guy with beautiful heart and even though I can't say I know him pretty good, I just like this process of getting to know him more and more and sharing interesting things with him. He proved me that he is real man, real friend, whose actions talk louder than words and it means a lot to me. Such unexpected behaviour of him will stay forever written in my mind. It might sound cool but in his presence even somebody so energetic like me feels within a few seconds unbelievably calm and relaxed. I just wonder, how come he is able to spread such harmony and peace throughout his words. As if he had some magic power to stop everything around and let others feel comfortable, let them be natural. No pretending, just relaxed mood. Well.. thank you, Chou...I am honoured to be a part of your universe :)

I am really happy I got unique opportunity to destroy oooppsss to describe personality of my friend, whom I have known for half a year and even though it seems like short time period, I can say I know him quite good (don't forget, guys Luci is great psychologist :D). As we both come from totally different backgrounds, continents, societies etc. I can say despite this all we have many things in common - especially our hobbies, sense of humour and egoistic traits...

Anyway...enough of blablaing, let's move on and get to to the point of this blog.. Well, my dear friend... Bill Vortz, let me share few things about your disgusting ehm ehm... awesome personality!!! Firstly, I would like to point out that this guy loves to be the best at everything he does, however you know what sucks? He is really vey good at almost everything and it is damn hard to beat him! As I said in my blog I am competative...pfff in comparison to him it is nothing! He is the most competative person I have ever met and honestly speaking it might "sometimes" get on everybody's nerves to listen to him praising himself as he is number ONE in the whole world!!! Anyway, let me add that he is really good carrying friend with big heart made of gold and stone as he doesn't like to show his emotion so much... He has kinda similar sense of humour, so it is always cool to laugh together like insane :D I have to admit that what I like a lot is his brain with kind of  high IQ, which is able to get my points and I don't have to explain, how I meant this or that...(yeah according to some tests his IQ is really higher than mine - btw we had to compete !!!!! :/) 

Now I think time to show his negatives has come! Sooo... let me say that he can be very moody that one would slap him and recently I found out he is awfully unbearable, when he is hungry - in this case one would kill him!!! Sometimes he says something but behaves oposite, which might make him less trustworthy and yeahhh ohhh he little bit sucks at writing as he thinks he is English Dictionary but shhhhh don't tell him anybody plz :D

Anyway, Bill is really good attentive listener and always try to come up with some encouraging words and support.. I wonder, how come he is able to stand somebody like me and I really admire him for being calm when I was few times ehmm.."screaming" like insane. In fact he is a very nice guy but it is so hard to praise him here as I am gonna listen 24/7 from now on ...what incredibly perfect person he is because  I wrote about him this all…. bla bla blaaaaaaaa...

She is like my twin, no doubt I have heard here several times that Luci is Mary :O Anyway, WE AREN'T one, sorry to disappoint you, guys. I like the most about Mary that she doesn't pretend anything...she is simply herself and behaves very naturally. I know that for some strangers she might give impression of tough tigeress but believe me that she is my cute little cow ..oops.. kitten :D I can say she is this kind of friend, who gives hand to somebody, when they are in need. This is one of the most important things, when it comes to friendship to me, so I can assure you that she is true devoted friend, no matter if we are in contact once in week or once in year... I also like her unwordliness, actually this is something I envy her...to step little bit aside from some issue and see the things from rational view.. this makes emotional freak like me just say...woooow (and stare with open mouth!).

Mary has great sense of humour and I like her sarcastic way of thinking, her blogs full of boredom ehmmm fun and also the way she can tease others in here. Let's say when Mary is around there is always fun and as she comes up with many creative, mind blowing ideas here, none can get bored when she is around... I wish I would never be her enemy because once she doesn't like somebody, she can be pretty rough (oh gosh just remembered it and I am shaking with fear!!!). It is really hard for me to think about her negatives because she seems to be really such nice and lovable person! Omg Maryyyyyy!!! Don't tell me you have no negatives apart from your laziness as you lately don't show up here so often??!!!

It all started one December night a few decades ago. On this special day somewhere in the middle of Eastern European "jungle" full of polluted air it happened. Awesome little Capricorn came to its existence! Yeahhhh... Alien was born! I was born!

Believe it or not but my mom used to say I was a very nice, obedient baby, who was able to wait at one place for hours - in other words - where they left me, they found me (cute dog, right?) Later on as my physical body was growing of course my personality started developing! As a little girl I used to be very shy, didn't feel comfortable with strangers and when I went to the store with my younger sister, she was that one who talked with the shop assistant! Shame on me, I was lost antisocial weirdo. I would say I had little bit low-self confidence even though at school I wasn't bad student, I just felt anxiety, when it came to dealing with the unknown adults. Let me add one more negative side of little Lucinka, which woke up thanks to my hobby. I used to play piano and such activity needs practise and... patience. My poor mom realized that I wouldn't be so patient as I was furiously beating piano like insane, when I made mistake. So, to sum up my childhood ... I was very nice girl, willing to help my classmates, popular thanks to my jokes and had no enemies...
Anyway, things got changed, when I started attending high school and maybe puberty sort of changed me too. I became cheeky, rude, irresponsible and I wonder...how come my parents didn't kill me! I turned to rebel, who was against everything and everybody. Despite all this nice part of me was still surviving even though it was little bit hidden under big layer of showing off attitude. Luckily later on ...in some years it went outside but not that easily.

However, let's move on and let me start analyzing myself (btw why the hell I chose this topic :D) Firstly ,I will mention some disgusting negatives and finish it all with my awesome positives because that is how people do it and like I know from psychological view it may give good impression, right? Well.. to be honest, one of my problems is that I am too sincere with sharp tongue hidden in my cute mouth. I simply say, what is on my mind without considering other factors, which time to time cause me problems and believe me that once I am furious ...it is really hard to stop me! Another thing that gets on my nerves is my perfectionism. It sounds weird, I know because trying to be pefect may be something related to successful life but just imagine that it can bother you as you still proofread everything million times, want to be simply good at any cost, which is also related to competitivity. Grrrr, yeah I have to admit I am competetive and hard to say, if it is good or bad side of me, everything has two sides, right? Luciii… don't be stupid, better show them some positives.. ok? Ehm… Ok, Ok, guys.. here I am with something, what you might find surprising, nice or even cute! Sooo.. I may give impression of somebody strict, tough and emotionless but that's just my protective shell and if once you get underneath my skin, you will find somebody totally different there. I can be nice and carrying friend but I have too high expectations and demands, so it isn't easy to be my friend. I have specific sense of humour, which is highly appreciated at my work, by my friends - even though some people might struggle with understanding my "high level" sarcastic jokes :D The thing is that I might feel too much - to be funny and laugh like insane but when I am destroyed it is just everything got broken in million pieces inside of me. One extreme followed by another. Besides, I would say that I wouldn't let anybody down because my empathy isn't low and at times I feel like Michael Jackson singing: Heal the world :D and believe I can help everybody. What I love is to surprise people and see their reactions.. so to me it is the most important gift to see sincere happiness in someone's eyes. One more important thing about me - you won't impress me with luxurious expensive things as I am somebody who is into the experiences, memories that stay forever locked in my mind. Materialistic things are to me valueless. Like some of you know, I like being creative because it makes my life more colorful and interesting, so you will hardly find me bored sitting somewhere in the corner. However, when I get an idea, inspiration I turn to somebody blind, deaf, I ignore everything till I am done with my work, I am able to sacrify everything for what I am doing and for what draws my attention

In fact I have no idea, what EC people think about me or how they percieve me and if I should invest my time in thinking about who hates me, who likes me...guess I would sooner or later end up in the madhouse. There doesn't exist in this world a person that would be loved by all and that's how I take it... I am who I am and either you like it or not :-)

Do you like psychology?

Do you think, you know yourself the best or you may surprise or even shock yourself with some of your reactions? How do other people around you percieve you? What is your opinion on some of your EC friends? Can you describe them?

Well, here is my Writing Challenge, which might look little bit difficult or hard as your task will be EITHER to share something about yourself OR to share your view on EC member you consider your friend and know something about them... 

Haha, come on...calm down, guys. To be more specific - your task will be to describe EITHER your personality OR personality of some EC member. Just tell us, how you see yourself, if you are satisfied or not, what you would like to change, what you like about your EC friend, why do you like them, what gets on your nerves etc.

As it is also about studying, I bet you might come across some new words while writing and thinking about it all - so try to use them to make your readers (us) smarter. You can also add how other percieve you :) What about to make fun of yourself and your negatives? Are you capable of it? By the way don't hesitate to come up with some real stories proving your character or characte of your EC friend and please don't be so modest..praise yourself, your EC friend as much as you can...ehmmm... however don't forget that nobody is perfect and we all have some negative sides, which shoud be also mentioned :) It will be interesting to get to know something about yourself from your friend's point of view and I hope it won't lead to any fights nor arguments :-D 

So please, give it title: Writing Challenge: Who am I? / Who Is She? / Who is He? (choose one of them) and post the link here among the comments bellow... 

By the way, it is just Writing Challenge for fun, to improve our writing skills, so take it easy please and it may be funny to read your lines here after some years, don't you think so?

So my dear friends, I hope you will think long and hard and will post your blogs, so that others would get to know something more about you or your EC friend ;-) I am looking forward to reading your blogs :-) Thank you all in advance!

Do you want to be popular??? Do you want to have fans and feel like a SUPERSTAR? If you are dying to become a famous Top EC Member, just read carefully and follow my few tips :-) Yeah...you are not dreaming, guys, I am here to make you Super Famous EC member Number 1!

Sooo, let's get started, here is my "recipe"...

1. Firstly, you have to realize one thing. You need to dedicate all your free time to EC - yeah I am serious! You literally have to sucrify your life for EC! Just stock up on liters of coffee, kilos of ampthetamines or other "helpers" that will keep you awake because you should stay almost 24/7 online. Like it or not but this is the first basic rule!!!

2. Like we all know EC approves everyday several requests of new members. Sooo.... your task it to check REGULARLY and attentively, when the requests are approved. Don't dare to miss it!!! Immediately after noticing new accounts were approved, leave friendly comments on the pages of all the “freshman” and “freshwomen” :D and don't forget to ask them to be their friend! (Keep on your mind that "Activity" counts and will make you more famous ;) )

3. Logically a new member feels happy they were welcomed here and will send you a friend request. Yes!!! That's exactly what you have been waiting for because another important step is to create huge collection of "friends" - ehm let's not call them friends but... "clickers" because the word friend has different meaning  and in fact you don't care so much about them ..you care about their clicks, likes and comments!

4. When your "Clickers list" consists of at least 100 people, your time has come!!! Now you will write your first blog. Yeah, I know not everybody is familiar with writing BUT it doesn't have to be any masterpiece, ok? Simply post a blog, then send a message to all your 100 “clickers” and ask them to leave a comment on your blog just with some excuse like ... "you are curious to know their opinions etc.” (this is important from psychological point of view, ok? :D ) 

5. It is time to wait and prove you are patient. However… guess what??? MIRACLE happened! Suddenly after some time you see so many "clickers" checked your blog, left comments or gave you likes! Yupeeeeeeeeeeee, isn't it awesome? Of course, they found it polite to react as you asked them to do it and gave them your hand, when they joined this platform! Don't forget that psychological feedback works pretty good! So now you feel like a Superstar to see so many likes and your ego is raising up to the clouds!

6. In case some of your "clickers" were disobedient and didn't leave a comment on your blog... go to the EC chatroom and wait there to catch them online! When your "prey" is finally send them private message to remind them of their duty! It usually works - especially if you bother them not just once but many times :D

7. Don't forget to apply the same strategy like I have described above also on the photos, the discussions or the videos you will post... remember, you have to be active to achieve your goal!

8. The last point - don't forget to leave comments on the blogs, the photos etc. posted by other EC members BUT nothing too long, just few words because it is waste of your precious time to write long sentences plus at the end of your comment ask the author of blog to check your page, your blog or your photo because.... clicking on YOU matters!

To sum it up, it is pretty easy, nah? Let me point out that I didn't write this on the basis of my own experiences even though time to time I was among EC Top Members but I am really too lazy and don't have time nor guts to do this all I have mentioned in this blog. In fact I even don't know, how I got to that one TOP chart as I just posted blogs, photos and left some comments on the blogs etc. I like - without purpose...

After all I think I am just a regular EC member, who learns English like you all here BUT who doesn't do things on purpose and that's why I won't ever be SUPERSTAR :D (ehm am I actually dying to be?)

Let me finish this blog with the song I like a lot, luckily the author of texts didn't make it too complicated to understand :D

I ain't no SUPERSTAR..

I am just like you are,

there is no spotlight shining on me ;-)

I ain't no SUPERSTAR,

I am just like you are,

don't need no diamonds or anything,

I do my own things...

It was late spring evening. She came back from work, sat down comfortably in her rocking chair with knowing that today after many centuries she was about to do it. To wash away own soul from dirt, to recharge ageless, tired mind. She closed her green eyes, took a breath and slowly started releasing all the pressure supressed somewhere deep inside of her. One by one all of these melancholic memories, untold words, hidden frightening emotions were slowly vanishing, as if they were getting out of the lost world, where they had been imprisoned for ages.

Finally... after some time she felt so relaxed and calm. The energy inside of her was raising, meanwhile sweet desire mixed with unpredictable expectations were teasing her. Suddenly her beautiful existence flooded the whole universe. She was dancing with the stars, enjoying careless infinity and gently playing with own fantasy. Everything around was so vividly colorful and gleaming full of harmony and peace that she couldn't help herself from smiling. This feeling of euphoria was the most beautiful symphony she loved to enjoy. She reached the stadium of absolute happiness and understanding to make her own immortal, jinxed life more bearable...

P.S. I decided to post this blog as I felt  like writing something emotionally nice.. something, what would give people calm feeling..

I hope I succeeded ehm... at least little bit ;-)

My blog might be little bit controversial but I decided to come up with this topic because to close our eyes and pretend that the word RAPE doesn't exist would be simply cowardish act. Without doubt rape is a crime and crime should be punished but unfortunately many rapists will never be imprisoned and will keep on raping over and over again. This is very sad reality. No woman in this world derserves to be raped!!! This is more than clear fact because each human being should be respected, not humiliated. A man, who is able to rape a woman is simply not a man. Such monster is either mentally sick (not his fault but should be locked or castrated) or totally sexually frustrated person, who thinks that each woman he likes, can be his.

If we check some data about rape and criminality we can see that South Africa is the kingdrom of all the rapists. According to the statistics 40% of women living there are, were or will be one day raped. Isn't this fact alarming???! If we move eastern in the map to India, I bet you remember well-known case of the girl raped by gang on the bus hurt with the iron stick but apart from this, many other cases were published in media and what is damn sad is that every 20-30 minutes somewhere out there in India is raped one women, even right now while you are reading this blog!

When it comes to Europe, the capital city of all the rapes is Swedish Stockholm, where unfortunately rapes are commited in 70% by immigrants, who came there from the Middle East. Some girls even started to dye their hair not to be blonde, however the situation isn't twice optimistic also in Denmark and Germany. Anyway, when we focus on Arab countries, rape statistics either don't show us any numbers or the number of the rapes is very very low. It looks really great, right? However, are you sure that countries such as Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan or Iran have no problems with rape? Let's move on and visit the USA - country of freedom, which can show us also very sad statistics about sexual violence. Did you know that one of six American women experienced either attempt or completed sexual rape in her lifetime? According to the statistics more than 80% of girls/women in the USA were raped by somebody they knew.

Anyway.. do you know what is the worst about it all??? It is the future life of the victim. Many of them suffer from the post traumatic stress disorder, must take antidepressives and have to visit psychologist to survive. But do you think that all of these women can afford it? That is why some victims commit suicide as they can't overcome with professional help such trauma. Those who survive just know that their life will never be the same, their view on man, their sexual life and everything around is for them different and the most important people in their life such as relatives should try to help them out of such miserable period of life...

Last but not least let me say that I don't percieve rape as a consequence of how she is dressed, how she behaves or what impression she gives. Even if women walked naked on the streets, no man would have right to touch them nor harash them. Once she says NO, it means NO and if somebody can't understand it then he should see ear doctor or get lesson! You know, there isn't exact profile of the rapist as they can be black or white, teenagers or older men, doctors or labors but to sum it up they have one thing in common... THEY DISRESPECT WOMEN!!!

I wish I could give to each victim, who suffered so much, had to go through something so disgusting like rape one beautiful rose becuase all these women/girls are/were brave and should know that what happened to them WASN'T THEIR FAULT!

Last Dance

It was cold Friday's night. Like every week she was in a hurry to open the creaky door of the old, desolate house situated in the suburb. She sneaked inside, rushed to the first floor and found herself in a spacious room looking like a dancing hall. She felt excitement, desire to take on her noble, red dress, to play the old gramophone...and to start dancing slowly with ease like a floating angel in the sky. Suddenly nothing existed, just her moving body and passion for the dancing were in the air.  She got so immersed into own dancing world without noticing that music was playing louder and louder, as if somebody was turning it up.

It was him. As usual he was late but when she opened her eyes, she was so happy to see him. He greeted her and politely asked for one dance. Finally! This was the moment she has waited for since the last Friday. This was the moment she was lately living for – her dance of the week. A mysterious guy in disguise wearing death costume dancing with her, touching her waist and playing with her became her drug. She needed him so bad even though she knew nothing about him. Two months ago he invited her to this house by sending her a letter. It was his idea, his handwriting, his words on the paper saying.. just one dance... The longer it took, the more curious she was about him.

Anyway, today she was finally decided to reveal his secret, to take off his mask and look into his eyes. They both were passionately dancing, when the moment came. She plucked up her courage and pulled his mask down! Suddenly time stopped ticking, the music stopped playing and the silence devoured everything around, everything stopped existing. He disappeared as well as the old house and she was standing on the street in her red dress and didn't believe, what she had experienced. Was it just her illusion? Was it real? She knew the only one… it was too late to regret...

Killed Angel

He always considered himself a tough, devoted punker, who did his best to suppress own emotions, not to look weak nor hurt. His ego was something he was proud of and his antisocial attitude made him cold and sort of far away from the reality. The only positive thing about him was his humorous and cool side and that's why some weirdos of the same blood group liked him.
However, things around us are and always were unpredictable, so even people like him deserve to be happy. One day in the morning at the bus station it happened. He saw her and realized he had known nothing about life so far. He was enchanted by her. He has never seen such shining eyes full of energy calling for the excitement. Her smile was mixture of two in one - dangerous challenging chick and innocent cute girl. She looked like a beautiful angel with long brown hair, blue eyes whereas he looked like a monster with piercing, punk hairstyle and that one weird ring in his ear. Oposite attract and that's why she gave him smile and made him feel blushing and embarrassed. What a cruel moment for the punker... What a funny moment for the angel! In a few minutes they started conversation and on the same day in the evening both enjoyed their first date. They felt nice with each other and later on started feeling something they have never felt before. Love. At night they were thinking of each other and couldn't fall asleep, then in the morning they were dying to meet each other and spend the whole day together. Day by day, month by month. They moved together and felt happy to share one apartment. It was almost like a fairytale but life isn't fairytale, right?

One winter morning he woke up and realized everything was getting on his nerves, especially her presence. Her each nice word was giving him headache, her gestures, behaviour...it all made him furious! Suddenly he saw her differently. He felt overdosed on her love, she gave him too much love, he wasn't able to absorb. The more love she was giving him, the weaker and smaller she turned to be in his eyes. Suddenly he saw her not like an angel anymore but like some annoying butterfly who was slowly turning to the moth. Her desperate calling for help was unheard, her all attempts to make him see her like he did before were useless. Her love was killing him and his egoistic black side took control over him. Once in the evening she gave it last try. She approached him, told him how much she loves him and kissed him gently on lips.. This was the last drop. His head almost exploded as he turned to the heartless beast and started yelling at her: "Get lost!!! Leave me finally alone!!! I don't want to see you anymore!"

Like he wished, she did.. within a few seconds she totally disappeared, she wasn't flying there in front of his face anymore, she was gone. She wanted to be once more again the angel for somebody, who will appreciate her existence and will see love giving angel in her forever...

Hello guys,

here I am again bothering you with another idea - another Writing Challenge :p

She was different. Not like others. Since childhood her weight wasn't upsidedown, in fact she was always "bigger". Her mom used to tell her that obesity is a genetic issue and she inherited it. Her mom feeded her with junk food, her mom explained to her that she couldn't ever be slim. Unfortunately, like an obedient daughter she believed it all. She was too lazy to doubt, she wanted to live her indolent life and was reconciled with her destiny.

At the age of seventeen she started smoking. At first she felt so mature, however later she became addicted and couldn't imagine a day without a cigarette. Every weekend she spent in her favourite pub drinking with her friends and feeling relaxed. Anyway, somewhere deep inside, she felt she wasn't like her friends, she wanted guys to look at her with interest, she wanted to be somebody else. That's why she decided to do something, lost some kilos thanks to drinking fake coctails, which later made her even fatter. To start moving would be totally impossible for her. Like she used to say - such hard work, would kill her!

Years were passing by even though she was more then one hundred kilos, one day her friend turned to be more than friend and both fell in love. Her dream came true...she felt loved and she was happy. They built a house, she gave a birth and things seemed to be fine. Anyway, her weight started complicating her life. Step by step her obesity was influencing her life. Kids were laughing in the kindergarten, when she came to pick up her son. People who saw her on the street were turning back, if this was possible!

Besides these little things, the worst problem was that she had no movement. She was going to work by car, sitting the whole day on her chair and then again went home by car. No sport, nothing. One day she started having cramps in her legs and hands too. It was so unbearable at night that she went to doctor, who sent her to another ten doctors to check what was wrong with her. They told her she had artrosis, they told her she had problems with vains, they told her she was very obese and that she was slowly killing herself…

At this point many people would start thinking, how to change their lifestyle, how to make the things better as there is still chance but what did she do? Easy – she didn't care, she didn't believe it would be so bad. She didn't stop smoking, she didn't change her diet, she didn't start moving her body, she simply didn't change anything. Why would she? It would be too hard, too time consuming … she was born fat like she used to say so it should stay like this. Now, at the age of almost 40 her body is in condition like a body of 65 years old retired woman and this all thanks to her laziness…

Why are there so many people out there commiting slowly suicide thanks to their laziness?

We all want to be happy but unfortunately some people fail, give up, others just complain, however this all is about us, in fact our own attitude matters. We decide, we feel, we try, we succeed!

Just imagine a puzzle – this puzzle is your life and each piece of it is one moment of your life. There are so many little pieces – moments we should enjoy and be happy about them. Our senses, our feelings, emotions they all can talk and we should learn to listen to them and follow them...

Maybe your life would be happier, if you didn't ignore these little things because they are worth enjoying them. One awesome mouthful of delicious food can make you feel great because you slowly enjoyed it and felt its perfect taste. A lovely nice melody of a song can make you listen to it over and over again just because you love its vibes and do enjoy it! Smell of the fresh air in the forest after rain, sunset over the horizon or freezing morning are magical moments we can enjoy with our senses on the maximum. Why am I saying this all? You know, it is sad that people tend to ignore nature, feelings and signals own body gives them just because modern IT era makes them dull, nervous, too busy and even paranoid.

So my advice at the end of this blablaing is:

Don't forget, please, that life is about enjoying happy moments it brings, not about ignoring them and being sad…

It is easy, just open your eyes, live and feel each moment :-)

I was told many times here on EC by people from the different parts of the world something like: "Ohhhh….your life is so beautiful, everything there is so clean, especially your streets, pavements, roads etc." Honestly I was like: "WHATTTT????" I have never been to Asia in my life but yesterday I read an article about trash in Dhaka – capital of Bangladesh and guys, when I saw the pictures, I realized that if somebody lived surrounded by such sorry to say this "shits" of course then they will admire everything clean without any rubbish or litter.

Bangladesh

However, I am not here to brag about my environment, I was just thinking, how come such big issue has no solution as we are living in modern era and can deal with almost everything. It is not a secret that mostly developing countries face this problem and as they became more modernized, it brought a lot of garbage such as plastic bottles, bags etc. and nowadays they struggle with this all because they don't have enough money, their population is too high, they aren't educated when it comes to environment and many even think that to throw it all into the rivers, oceans is the best solution as the rains will take it away...

Manila Bay (Philippines) - fishermen (wondering if there is a single fish alive)

Anyway, I just wonder: How come that it is totally normal to drop litter for example on the streets of Jakarta, New York, Manila, Mexico City etc. and nobody cares??? How can be people so careless and create such mess around such as streets full of garbage and slowly become a part of it?!!! Do they have no basic awareness of hygiene or all these bacterias living there etc.?

You know, somewhere they have already come up with an interesting solution. For example in some parts of India people report these, who don't collect garbage etc. via Watsapp. I do believe, it might be helpful but why they just can't stop doing mess around them because they dislike it and feel bad about it? Why paying penalty is the only one tool which can force them to change their thinking? Honestly, this is something I will never understand and if somebody is able to explain it to me – thank you in advance, guys...

River of Garbage in Beirut (Lebanon)

Everything is about people, their attitude and some organizational skills. Speaking about it all, I can tell you that...firstly we have here containers for collecting garbage, which are daily taken away – I mean trash and garbage in them. We also separate our waste, which is to me very important and easier for another step, which is waste processing. We all know that the worse problem is plast and I wish one day plast would totally disappear and products would be packed in other way. Secondly on the streets are streetbins and thirdly we also have here people (unemployed or sentenced for some little crime), who clean the streets (even from the leaves in the autumn). I just wonder, how come such basic things aren't possible to start everywhere. There are several unemployed people, who could clean all these streets, drive the cars with the garbage to the dumps and we consumers would simply separate the waste! Is it such a big deal?

New York City (USA) isn't also so clean

As for me, I would never drop anything on the street because my mentality doesn't allow me to do it. It is simply somewhere in me but... why? The answer is really easy - yeahhh… my parents raised me like this - like most parents here raise the kids and this is the starting point of the whole change. As we know - kids are our future and should be educated, should know that such careless behaviour is something bad and not tolerated. To teach them this all, to be the best examples for them isn't hard work and if they learn something like this, it will really start massive change. It will help in many aspects and when such kids grow up, they will see the things differently in comparison to the previous generations. So, I believe that at least such small step, can change many things around and if parents or also teachers at schools would start teaching kids keeping the enviroment clean then one day streets of their city would become clean, rivers and oceans wouldn't be full of plastic bottles and trash and water under the ground would be once more again drinkable….Maybe it sounds like utopia but I think that the key word as for this issue is education...

This isn't APOCALYPSE - it is in China

What about your streets, are they stinky, full of garbage piles or litters? Are they clean? What about your attitude towards this all? Please, share your experience and opinions in your comments, I am looking forward to reading them...

Here I am with my attempt and my lexical sets focused on everything around the BABIES :-)

Finally it happened, yeah parenthood this new word, something totally unknown is trying to change your life upside down. In fact, things will never be the same again because there are not just two of you but that one...third one... ehm let's call him "invader", somebody who suddenly occupies your bedroom! Luckily sometimes he even sleeps in his crib. Instead of enjoying time with friends, you are sitting at home and feeding him. No matter, how much milk you have, propaganda of brestfeeding seems to you like a huge campaign and uffff, if one day you happen to run out of own milk, then you will have to open a can of milk formula, to make his stomach full, otherwise this little creature will kill you with his stubborn cry! Sometimes it is also good idea to give him dummy - some people are against it but ehm… eventually most parents close mouth of crying "invader" with yummy dummy! After few days, weeks you feel like you are just living in stereotype - changing diaper, feeding, carrying him on hands as he suffers from colicky pain (stomach pain), changing diaper, washing, feeding, changing diaper, changing bodysuit, carrying him on hands and... slowly dying of being totally exhausted! :-D If you still have some energy, you can go out, take the best clothes on him and let others admire your cute angel TYRAN in the pram. It looks like moms are so proud of pushing own pram but in reality the pram is here as a supportive helper, that keeps them walking… I hope my paragraph was not that tough, just the message I would like to convey through this blog is that being a parent is nice but hard work, which requires a lot of patience and love, so ... be sure you are ready for it ;-)

I guess, here are some people, who have never seen snow in their life and in case you are one of them, my dear reader, read more attentively because I would like to tell you something realistic about winter in the city... yeah... something that might totally ruin your imagination of awesome, magical, white winter... 

Nothing is black or white but as for white beautiful winter, I can prove you that in the city, the reality differs because it can turn so easily to dirty, polluted winter :-D Anyway, firstly let me share few pictures I took some days ago to show you that there are some nice moments, Lady Winter brings and such moments can definitely make your mood better...

Anyway, when winter comes, our time changes, which means that we wake up and guess what? It is damn dark! Then we are happy to experience some daylight but ehm at usually 4pm in December we are again immersed in darkness. Such lack of daylight is of course pretty depressive and might cause problems to some sensitive people. Do you still envy? :-D Another thing is that there is higher pollution in the cities during winter, which means we can't spend so much time outside. To make it little bit funny - what about yellow spots you can come across while walking in the snow? Oh yeahhh - poor dogs have to follow mother's nature calling too :-D 

However, then one day temperature suddenly raise and all the snow start melting and melting... if you don't have good shoes - your socks might be a bit wet, so be ready for floods, lot of wet snow, mud etc. Would you like to walk in this?

By the way mother nature loves to play with us. As I read today weather forecast promise cold night with temperatures bellow zero. Can you imagine what happens with this all melting snow and water? It is like in the morning it is the best to wear skates or better stay at home because all the roads are icy and very slippery. Back to melting - let me share one experience I almost forgot to tell you! It is really so cool to walk in this melting snow, fall down on your butt and find yourself dirty from all the mud that is under this melting snow :-D

So guys, winter is magical but I would say in the mountains, as you can see in the city it differs and I am dying to skip these months and jump into May full of sun, flowers, warm weather and more optimistic mood :-p
