Arta simplitatii, Dominique Loreau

"ARUNCATI NIMICURILE, SPUNETI-LE CUNOSCUTILOR  CA SINGURUL LUCRU PE CARE IL  VRETI ESTE  SA VA DEBARASATI DE TOATE POSESIUNILE, dati vechile sifoniere pe o canapea moale,  argintaria pe un set de baie din crom,  rochiile p e care nu le-ati purtat niciodata pe o haina din lana de calitate, relatiile pasagere  pe mai mult timp pentru prietenii adevarati si sedintele la psiholog pe o lada de sampanie savuroasa.
Restul apartine lumii intelectului, lumii spiritului, misterului, frumusetii si sentimentelor."

"Studiati-va emotiile ca si cum ar fi fenomene exterioare, care nu va ating. Veti reusi astfel sa nu mai fiti sclavul regretelor, al nerabdarii si al tuturor gandurilor confuze,astfel ca veti ajunge chiar sa uitati prezentul, si asta o sa va placa la nebunie !"



                  Am gasit aceasta carte in topul celor mai citite carti de publicistica & eseuri de pe elefant.ro (nu fac reclama, nu de acolo am cumparat-o) , cu rewiew-uri bune si stele colorate.
               

 Esenta : MINIMALISM

                 
Nu stiu de ce unele paragrafe au starnit in mine reactii  puternice de dezaprobare. O fi oare faptul ca ea a trait  atata timp intre japonezi, sau eu sunt prea inradacinata in occidentalismele propriei mele vieti.
             
   E o carte despre calitate inainte de cantitate, de la haine la prieteni, la ganduri, la obiceiuri. E despre cum fiecare ar trebui sa se puna pe sine insusi pe primul loc, fara a fi totusi obsedat de propria persoana. Pentru ca doar daca esti fericit cu tine poti sa ii ajuti pe cei din jur, uneori chiar fara sa iti dai seama.
         
   Cu un singur lucru nu sunt de acord, sau poate nu am inteles eu... Preferinta posesiunilor de lux, in numar mic, versus posesiunilor de proasta calitate, in numar mare. Din punctul meu de vedere, foarte multe obiecte de lux nu isi justifica pretul si nu sunt esentiale; mai mult, se suprapune cu mentalitatea calugarilor care practica stilul "frugal" (modest) de viata despre care vorbeste autoarea, si pe care il ia ca punct de reper.

Oricum, pana la sfarsitul cartii i-am inteles punctul de vedere. A meritat lectura.  Si am de gand sa pun in practica unele sugestii facute de ea. Dar nu pot sa trec mai departe fara sa mentionez ca in principiu, cheia succesului si a dezvoltarii personale e aceeasi din punctul de vedere a mai multor autori de succes.
Bria Tracy, Loreau si Geoff Thompson au aceleasi principii la baza. Daca acestea au functionat pentru ei, desi provin din medii diferite, inseamna ca voi vedea roadele muncii mele putin cate putin in viitorul apropiat.

HTML & CSS design and build websites, John Duckett

This is the first book in my one year  a-book-a-day challenge that I'm doing.
You can find the rest of the books here : 1 book 1 week = 52 books a year

This is a very good book if you never developed a website for a client before, and even if you did, there are a few good tips in there. It shows you how the new html5 & css3 works, and it is sensitive to also develop for  people who have old computers showing you how to keep your site usefull for those with older browsers.

Moreover, it teaches you how to develop a website logically, what questions to ask a client who wants a website in order to deliver a product that the client will be happy about.Its the whole experience of dealing with clients and making a good website for their business .It talks about web hosting, optimization and it just makes confident about website design.

From the read I could see that the writer, John Duckett, is an experienced developer, who offers his tips and tricks with no holding back.

You can see its a webDESIGN book, because it even looks pleasing to the eye and teaches you style
in the same time.It has code examples, and pictures of how the web page looks. It's straight to
the point and offers really helpful links. The pages are not loaded with information, it's
relaxing to read it.

I really learned something from this book and I also started making my own website following the rules of  HTML & CSS design and build websites by John Duckett.

1 book 1 week for a year = 52 books

I've read a couple of blog posts about this and I've already started this project. I decided to read IT and Self Development books for the beginning. Because its hard to read some of the technical books in just 1 week, I decided to pair them up with "easier" books, like NLP books, personal development books, or Buddhism books, books that are maybe thinner or easier to read, or even books I've read before, but I'm not sure if thee latter  should be added to the program.

For the beginning I choose a web development book and a personal development one. I gave them both 2 weeks, and when the HTML one tired me I put it down and read from the other one. I think this is going to be my way of doing this 1 year challenge.

Update.3August.2013 I'm falling behind; I think it's because I haven't gotten used to my work schedule; After 2 weeks I've noticed I need to sleep an extra 30 minutes in the morning. But I am considering taking some vitamins, to keep up with my new routine.

Lidl Pentru Plaja : Rogojina

Cred ca azi e ultima zi, dar sunt sigura ca mai gasiti si maine daca vreti, rogojina de plaja de la Lidl cu 22 lei. Are 1.80 m lungime si 80 cm latime. Pe exterior e lavabil plasticat  si pe interior e din iarba de mare. De asemenea, are banda de infasurat ca sa fie usor de transportat. E oricum foarte usoara. Numai buna de mers la plaja.

NO (sham)POO movement/challenge


Facebook is not just for curing boredom, it's for useful information, if you know how to use it. I'm subscribed to a few personal development blogs, news pages and so on.

Today I saw an interesting share from one of the personal development guys, about a no shampoo movement . The idea is that you give up shampoo for 6 weeks and only clean your hair with water, no shampoo, no soap, no nothing. Our scalp produces sebum (the substance that makes our hair dirty/sticky) and shampoo cleans the sebum off, causing our scalp to only produce more and more sebum.

Sadly, I am at the stage that I have to wash my hair every day because it gets oily very fast. I think the fact that I used to dye my hair made it like this; think and prone to extra sebum production. After trying lots of shampoos , this would be the best thing for my hair I think, so I'm gonna do it.

I'm a bit scared, to tell you the truth, but  worst case scenario, I get to wear hats.


For more about the NO POO [ thats the name of the movement :D ] go here

No poo wikipedia
No shampoo experiment

  • Day1 [5july 2013] :
  •  It's been 24 hours since my last shampoo wash, on top of my forehead I can see                                the hair greasing up already.I took a shower and rinsed my hair with water , nothing more. 
  • Day2 [6july 2013]:
  • My hair is a bit greasy. Probably because I only rinsed it with water. I'm gonna use baking soda to wash my hair today.Let's see how that works. 
  • Day3[7july 2013]:
  • Baking soda method is good, it gives my hair volume.I'm gonna use this for the experiment. Maybe play with it a little.
  • Day4[8july 2013]:
  • I decided to walk home from work and it was very warm outside. My hair is covered with sweat; must wash it again. Baking soda again. But its good. I think less hairs are falling off.
  •  Day5-Day10[13july 2013]: 
  • My hair is a bit less greasy and it has more volume and it looks healthier. I read about sulf soap for hair and skin that is greasy. I will give it a try on Monday. Until now, only baking soda and water. One thing that I don't like is that my hair is a bit um ... hard and straw like ? ... as in ... not smooth and silky, but from what I read that is gonna take more time to accomplish. I'm not giving up, I've made it so far.
  •  Day11-Day13[16 July 2013]:
  • Just can't get my hair to be smooth, so I decided to wash with an organic soap from Lush, called Green Monster. It has mint and lemon and such. Meanwhile I'm looking for sulf soap, but I could not find it yet. Got to hit some more shops and maybe I will come across it.  
  • Day14-Day17[20 july]    
  • Definitely better with no shampoo; still didn't find sulf soap, but I'm only washing my hair with the Lush soap.I took a pic on the first day and I'm gonna take a pic tomorrow morning before I wash my hair again.
  • Day 22 [25 July] I finally found Sulf soap and I'm using it to wash my hair and my skin. It's really amazing.



Ok.Final notes on this experiment :

 I can't go with just baking soda and water, I need something more, and I'm so happy I found sulf soap. It definately cleans the scalp and the skin also.  My hair is still a bit dry and straw like.I don't know how much longer I will go without shampoo, but I will definately make a transition to healthier products, organic shampoo , sulf soap and such. I will write more as time goes by and I try different stuff.

Vopsea textile la Cluj

 Stiti voi ce e ala Cosplay ? Pai hai sa va spun. E atunci cand te costumezi ca un personaj dintr-un serial care iti place. Treaba nu e limitata la seriale, se aplica si la carti, benzi desenate etc.

Una dintre personajele mele favorite este daenerys targaryen din "Game of Thrones / Urzeala Tronurilor". Imi place atat pentru personalitatea ei, cat si pentru felul in care evolueaza pe parcursul serialului. Iar, femeie fiind, normal ca ii admir si stilul vestimentar.


Aceasta este una dintre rochiile cele mai frumoase purtate de catre ea.
Ca sa o fac am nevoie in primul rand de material, si apoi din ceva carton mai tare pentru brau. Pentru ca nu am gasit nicaieri material albastru deschis cu auriu, m-am decis sa il fac. Asa ca am mers la IPB Polus Cluj si mi-am cumparat cu 12 lei 50ml vopsea aurie. Lipseste doar materialul albrastru deschis.

Nu am vopsit textile niciodata, dar cu putin exercitiu, cred ca voi reusi. Am sa revin cu detalii si poze, dar pana acum ma bucur ca am reusit sa incep proiectul. Maine voi merge in cautarea materialului perfect.

Revin cu o postare si niste poze maine. Pup <3 br="">

Lidl : Recipient/Caserola termo/racire

   Azi am gasit la Lidl caserola cu gel de racire la pretul de 17 Ron. Mi-am luat unul pe care am de gand sa il pasez la bunica; si  ma gandesc chiar sa  mai iau vreo 2 pentru ca m-am inteles cu o piretena sa mergem in fiecare saptamana cateva ore la padure si recipientul ar fi perfect ca sa imi duc niste mancare gatita cu mine.

Capacitatea de depozitare este de 1.25 litri , dimensiunea e de 24 lungime - 6 intaltime - 16 latime (cm). Seara se  pune  recipientul in congelator  ca pana a doua zi dimineata sa inghete lichidul de racire. Apoi bagi mancarea in el si esti gata de drum.

Iata si niste poze, ca sa va faceti o idee  despre cum arata :

It's gotta be about love at the end of the day, It can't just be about humping

I use the term "love" loosely, because people stay together for various reasons, and the best relationships are based on respect, communication, moral support and equality.

Respect me enough to tell me when I'm doing something wrong, but in a supportive way. Don't criticize me bluntly. We are equals, we both have feelings and goals we want to reach, and the only way we can make each other happy is if we support each other and if we talk honestly.

When you get into a relationship don't think about it in a "oh finally, somebody who is going to take care of me" kind of way. What are you bringing to the table ? If the other person is more successful than you, you will feel frustrated eventually. You need to do your own thing, for yourself and for the sake of the relationship .You need to be equal, or work on being equal . You need to be a pillar of support, not just another wight that drags your partner down.

Lidl si saptamana asiatica

E luni, incepe o alta saptamana tematica din partea celor de la Lidl. Am asteptat atat de mult fursecurile cu ravas !!! Si pe langa ele am mai descoperit si snacksurile din orez, snacksurile in stil thailandez (extraordinare) , spring rolls (pachetele de primavara) - doar pe cele cu legume care au fost extraordinare, mugurii de bambus pe care i-am cautat disperata in tot clujul si numa nu i-am gasit, lapte de cocos si nu in ultimul rand, uleiul de susan presat la rece.



Vreau sa va spun ca din mugurii de bambus si laptele de cocos imi fac rezerve ca aia din Doomsday preppers, de se pregatesc pt sfarsitul lumii. Chiar m-am saturat de mancarea pe care o fac de obicei si vroiam ceva nou. Ma bucur ca Lidl ne ofera posibilitatea de a incerca mereu ceva nou.

My hair is falling so I'm gonna do something about it

I noticed that my hair is falling, even my mom told me, and my hairdresser said that I have more hair in the left side of my scalp. I've been thinking about it and I haven't been so good to my hair along the time.

I started coloring my hair when I was 17. I had a fixation with red hair. You can imagine that dying my hair constantly for 2 years was a strain for my hair. After that, I wanted to use something less toxic, and I discovered henna for hair. Henna is good for the hair, but what I found in commerce didn't do the job.

I stopped dying my hair, but started heavily curling it with an curling iron and then the straightening obsession came as well. Lately I've noticed that my hair is so thin and now, even if I curl it I can't get the nice curls I had when I was young, plus my curls don't last more than 1 hour.

I've decided to stop abusing my hair. I must say that in the beginning it looked horrible. I only wore it in a ponytail. But after a week I noticed the difference; it started to slightly curl and it even looked more shiny and it definitely felt stronger.

So now, the second week I decided that I'm not gonna straighten it as I did before, and if I wanna curl it I will use over night classic curly things.

I am only 24, I can't destroy my hair now. What am I gonna do when I will be older ? Wear a wig ? No !
Take my advice, stop abusing your hair and only use natural shampoo and home made masks. It's worth it.

Crazy bold fashion : AKA Nicki Minaj


The Trinidadian-born American rapper, singer, songwriter, fashion icon , super creative, bold and memorable lady Onika Miraj aka Nicki Minaj has always had the courage to stand out in regards of what she says and  wears, and I follow her dearly. 

Her fashion sense has a wide range, from simple and elegant to sexy and plain out bold.  That is why I made a collection of some of her outfits that inspire me.

So, if you wanna see some of this and more of that click here.






How To Make safari short pants from an old pair of pants

So I found this unworn pair of my mom's pants and I asked her if I could have them so I could practice my sewing skills. She game them to me mainly because they did not fit her anymore.

I cut them over the knee and rolled them up to see how short I want them.


After I cut a little more I did a rolled hem, like the one in the picture underneath. Simple as that.
Now I gotta see if I can make a skirt out of the fabric left, I think I can because the wants were large.
If I can't I'll just make a purse or a corset top or something creative. Can't wait for the next post involving the lower part of the pant. :D

Angelina Jolie birthday "extravaganza"

 If you didn't know, Angelina Jolie 

was born  on the 4th of June 1975




Her first appearance since her preventive double mastectomy was at Brad Pitt's movie premiere of "World War Z" where she wore a draped black gown by Saint Laurent.

It's lovely to  see their strong relationship and the fact that they still make it fun, despite having a large family. The two were later seen at the tony restaurant Il Vino where they had a diner date and a more fun night at David Lynch's private club, Silencio.  [source huffingtonpost.com]

 

There is no doubt about her birthday celebration. After the intimate dinner there must have been a crazy party at the family's house as Angelina once said that the children are happy for mommy and daddy's engagement because they look forward to the party involved. :)

 

I am happy and applaud her strength to have the surgery and especially the strength  to talk about it, being a person who is always hunted and frowned upon from the media.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to get shit done and stop procrastinating, lose weight/get that hobby started already !

There are 3 easy steps to do this, and it works, I have tried it.


1.Lists

Start easy.
Make a list before going to bed of all the things
you have/want  to do tomorrow. Don't put specific time limits, but after you finish your list put numbers in front of each task. What talk is the hardest and brings the biggest reward ? Make that #1 and organize your day revolving that one big and important task.

Keep it simple, before noon & after noon, before work & after work, etc. and don't forget to give yourself a  little wiggle time, because even if you approximate how much time you will need to do the list, other things might intervene.

Making lists is good and motivating, because each time you tick 
something off your self esteem grows and you are more driven to do more. Give yourself at least 30 extra minutes a day for that one big task you wanna develop.  Don't worry if you don't finish everything on your list, add it to the next day's list, or move it in the weekend activities, but don't forget about it.



2.Talk about it

If you have a long time goal, talk about it to people.
Let's say you wanna lose weight or learn how to sew.
Research it every day. Do something about it every day.
Bring in into everyday conversation in a positive way. Don't get all "ohhh I wanna lose weight but it's too hard/ I wanna sew but I'm terrible at it". Everything is hard in the beginning. Start small. Eat smaller portions, sew a simple skirt out of an old rag you have at home. Baby steps. Look at the long term effects of your goal. Tell people what you researched, you just come across somebody
who will give you a tip, "I lost weight by writing down what I ate/ My cousin took sewing lessons in the summer, I will ask her about it and get back to you". Just remember, be positive and don't lose track of your goal.



3.  Deadlines


Set a realistic deadline for your goal and small
checkpoints on the road. This way you will be motivated and won't give up. Write in on a sticky note and put it somewhere you see it everyday. Post it on your computer's wallpaper, or your phone, just be sure to be remembered of it everyday.
For example, I will lose 5 kilos in 6 weeks/ I will make a dress by the end of the month. And then the checkpoints, eat something green everyday and take a picture of myself every week/ make a simple skirt or a simple top each week.
 Extra tip: keep a journal of your progress. This may be a simple file on your computer, or even better make a blog. This way you can see your progress and feel better about the work you have done.

Eat that frog ! by Brian Tracy , procrastination and personal growth

On one of my trips to the bookstore I stumbled upon the self help part of it and I came across a book that cached  my eye. The book was written by a man called Brian Tracy. After sitting down and skimping trough the pages I decided to buy it, and that was how I fell in love with this author.

His style or writing is very simple, no mambo jumbo, straight to the point. And I like that. The book I bought was  "Schimbând gândirea, îţi schimbi viaÅ£a."[Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life. How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success ] I love that book, I actually did what the author suggested and made lists of what I want and how to achieve it. Must say, it helped, and to stay on the track I decided to read more such books.

After some research, I made a list of books I should read and went to the bookstore. I decided to take them one at a time, so I was gonna buy one, read it, move on to the next. As luck has it, I came across another book from mister Tracy, the EAT THAT FROG ! book . I read the back of the book and I decided to buy it.

I have to say, what I find peculiar is the fact that bloggers who compile top self help books don't consider Brian Tracy's book so good. Is it maybe because they have not heard about it ? I don't know. But what I do know is that you can find this book online and read from it, even a bit, see if you think the same as I do, and tell me.

            Have a productive day. And don't forget to eat that damn frog !

I've stumbled upon something so sexy and artistic its insane. There are 4 male professional dancers from Ukrane that formed an all boy band. The twist is that they are androgynous as far as their look with their signature stiletto heels goes. They have the bodies men wish for and moves of swans.

1st of June and Children's Day on Facebook

People. Please stop. Posting the following message on Facebook : Happy Chidren's Day to those who still consider themselves/  people of all ages with a young heart / kids of all ages.

This is what comes to mind when I see such posts  :

Children's Day is for Children. If you wanna celebrate it go  do something nice for a kid, maybe one who doesn't have anybody to tell them Happy Children's Day ...

Suna politia ca fiul/fiica/sotia/sotul a facut accident ? Nu sari cu banii

Joi dimineata.Ma pregatesc sa ies din casa. Suna telefoul. Mama cu voce tremurata ma intreba daca sunt ok, ce am facut aseara ? si imi spune ca inchide pentru ca imediat o sa ma sune politia din Cluj...

Astept 10 minute...Nimic. O sun inapoi. Imi spune ca ceva e dubios.Ca a sunat-o cineva de la politie sa ii spuna ca fiul ei a avut accident de masina aseara.Cand i-a spus ca ea ma are doar pe mine "polititstul" s-a corectat, dar noi nu avem masina...Politistul spune ca a fost un baiat la volan si eu in scaunul pasagerului...

Mama inchide. Vorbim noi doua si decidem sa sunam la numarul respectiv cu nr ascuns..nu raspunde nimeni... Deci e clar ceva scamatorie....

Vorbesc azi cu o prietena si imi spune ca si mama ei a primit un telefon asemanator. Cica tatal ei ar fi calcat o femeie pe trecerea de pietoni si ar fi bine sa mearga cu banii nush unde ca sa isi scape sotul...

Aveti grija cu astfel de scamatorii. Politia nu iti cere niciodata bani. Trebuie sa ramaneti calmi si sa nu va panicati, ca atunci apar greseli.

Dupa mai multe cercetari pe google :))) ce sa vezi : e o scamatorie veche si sunt oameni care pica in plasa. Anuntati-va vecinii,rudele, prietenii. 

Burda 6/2013

Summer dresses and pants. This is what I've been waiting for. Don't get any ideas, I'm a total noob but I really wanna give this a try. I made two dresses so far and a fail pant.But you know how the saying goes :  

                         Fail again, fail better <3 i="">


 This long dress was a preview in the last magazine and I just love it, i don't think it's that hard to make either.
The knee length one is perfect to hide my tummy, but from the pattern preview it is harder to make. Who knows, maybe I will give it a try, because I think its sooo pretty



This are the two short pant mdoels that come with this month's Burda magazine. I still don't know which one I will try to make, but I have time to decide.

   I love a good mistery/horror tv show and sadly this one was canceled from season 1, but there are yet some episodes to be aired.

 #3 Pretty Little Liars
  It starts on the 11th of june and I can't wait !!! I have not read the books because I love the tv show so much <3 p="">

#4 Necessary Roughness
   I just loooove TK and doctor Danny. This tv show makes me laugh and I can see some hot guys getting rough :P


#5 Graceland
 Now this show seems to be an interesting new one. So far, what I've read and seen made me interested
GRACELAND is a place where nothing is what it seems and everyone has a secret. From the outside, this idyllic beachfront property is inhabited by a group of young, diverse roommates. Inside, a vastly different world is exposed: one that sustains itself through a complex web of lies. USA's new original series Graceland delves into the lives of an elusive group of undercover agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and US Customs, who live and operate under one roof (the house got its name because the drug lord from whom the authorities seized the property was known to be an obsessed Elvis Presley fan). When forced to give up any shred of normalcy and the question of trust is a matter of life or death, the house becomes their sanctuary, their "Graceland."-usanetwork.com

#6 Major Crimes
Have to say I didn't like captain Sharon Raydor in the beginning, but I fell in love with Rusty and he made me like her.This tv series follows her unorthodox methods of running her police station.

#7 Keeping up with the Kardashians
Yes, I watch it. My guilty pleasure.This season it's gonna be all about Kim's baby mama journey, and it ended pretty dramatically last season so I can't wait to see what happens. Also,  I wanna see Khloe 'cause she's my fave :P

Kesha, MY CRAZY BEAUTIFUL LIFE

La prima vedere pare genul de persoana care nu munceste pentru nimica, bea si se distreaza toata ziua iar cariera parca i-a picat din cer. Dar pozitiile inalte din topuri sunt rezultatul a multor ani de munca.
Kesha este fiica unei compozitoare/interprete americane, Patricia Pebe Sebert, care si-a crescut singura ambii copii. Aceasta i-a insuflat fiicei sale dragostea pentru muzica si a impins-o in aceasta directie inca de la o varsta frageda, cand Kesha a invatat sa cante la pian si a sustinut "concerte" in sufragerie.
 Pe MTV, in mini reality show-ul ei , MY CRAZY BEAUTIFUL LIFE, care are 6 episoade, vorbeste mult despre familia ei, despre ascensiunea in topuri si despre perceptia pe care o are lumea asupra ei, si in special modul in care acest lucru o afecteaza.
 [Fratele,Kesha,Pebe(st->dr) interpetand piesa mamei sale pe scena din orasul natal, unde a cantat pentru prima oara :]

Hitul "Your love is my drug" a fost scris de Kesha si  de mama ei. In general, ele doua scriu impreuna piesele Keshei.

O alta piesa foarte speciala de la ea este "The Harold Song". Aceasta este dedicata primei iubiri din viata ei,care, dupa cum v-ati dat seama se numeste Harold.
Kesha se implica foarte mult cand vine vorba de abuzul pe care copii il intalnesc in scoli, artista recunoscand ca si ea a fost victima in tinerete. Aceasta piesa are ca mesaj faptul ca trebuie sa ne iubim pentru ceea ce suntem, nu pentru ceea ce am putea fi. Vorbeste despre acceptare sociala desi piesa e interpretata des ca fiind o piesa de dragoste.

Cum sa te desparti de colegul/colega de apartament

Studentie !!! O da !!! Dar unde sa stau ? Camin ? 4 intr-o camera ? Daca nici macar camin nu prind ce fac ? Bai, mai bine ma mut cu astea, ca sunt din acelasi oras cu mine; pe aia blonda am vazut-o in clubul ala in care mergeam in fiecare sambata. Bea timi ca mine. Clar o sa ne intelegem.

Va mutati impreuna, zice ca mai are si ea ceva colega ordonata si cuminte care nu isi gaseste unde sa stea. The more the merrier, scad facturile la incalzire,normal ca ne bagam cat mai multe. Si uite asa te trezesti ca locuiesti intr-un apartament de 3 camere, 4 fete (2 in camera mare). Doar ca mereu e lumina aprinsa in bucatarie la 10 dimineata, apa mai ca nu se scurge din chiuveta lasata nesupravegheata, vasele nimanui sunt vesnic pe masa, masina spala rufe cat pentru o garnizoana iar bucataria arata ca in fazele cu food fight din filme, dupa ce ca cineva si-a fiert 1 ou...

Incep discutiile decente la masa de bucatarie. Nimeni nu a facut nimic. A doua zi  parca e mai curat, parca totul e mai linistit, dar nu dureaza, lucrurile se intorc la normal. Incep discutiile in grupuri restranse; toata lumea da vina pe altcineva...

 Este foarte greu sa locuiesti cu alta persoana, de acord.  Cu timpul observi care sunt obiceiurile oamenilor cu care stai. Oricat de bine te-ai intelege pe plan social cu o persoana, daca stati impreuna, dezordinea si mizeria vor fi mereu motive de cearta. Cel mai bine ar fi ca una sa isi gaseasca alt loc unde sa stea. Dar cum ii spui astea persoanei respective ?

Trebuie sa intelegi. Oricum i-ai spune, o sa fie suparata pe tine. In ochii ei esti o tradatoare care a complotat impotriva ei pe de-ascunsul. Adevarul e ca fiecare face numai ce e bine pentru el.

Noi din 4 fete, 2 ramanem sigur aici, una vrea sa plece in strainatate iar cealalta e colega dezordonata cu care ma intelegeam destul de bine. Cum am rezolvat situatia ? Am chemat-o pe colega dezordonata in bucatarie si am intrebat-o  ce vrea sa faca la anul , precizand ca noi doua sabotoare vrem sa ramanem. Ea a spus ca a vorbit cu niste colege si ca ar vrea sa se mute cu ele. Pfoa,mi s-a luat o piatra de pe inima. Deja mi le inchipuiam paruindu-se . Ca sa intelegeti, colega dezordonata si cea care vrea sa ramana nu se mai suporta, desi ele au fost cele care initial au decis ca se muta impreuna si apoi fiecare a adus inca o persoana.

Ceea ce este important de precizat: nimeni nu da pe nimeni afara, avem contract pana in septembrie inclusiv. Colega dezordonata are timp destul sa isi caute alt loc in care sa stea. Cu toate astea, cred ca acum ma uraste (colega dezordonata), dar nu am ce sa ii fac. E mai bine asa. Altfel am fi ajuns sa ne uram rau de tot la anul, ca nu s-ar fi schimbat situatia cu dezordinea. Poate cu timpul o sa ii treaca, nu am de unde sa stiu.

Deci copii, cea mai buna solutie pentru asemenea probleme este discutia la masa de bucatarie. Ca adultii. E greu. Stresant. Si poate iesi urat, dar te simti mai bine dupa ce ai o conversatie calma si ajungeti la un consens.

Ingrijirea Bonsaiului

De ziua mea, care a fost pe 27 februarie, am primit un bonsai. Sunt niste plante de casa foarte dragute, dar greu de ingrijit. Dupa ce am dat-o in bara de cateva ori, mi-am dat seama cum trebuiesc ingrijiti.

Bonsaiul trebuie sa aiba pamantul vesnic umed.Vasul are jos doua gauri de evacuare a apei astfel incat planta retine doar apa necesara.


Greseala 1 : Am lasat vasul cu pomisorul intr-un alt vas care avea apa. Astfel s-au facut viermisori la radacina care ieseau la suprafata ori de cate ori udam planta.  Am dus planta la "medic" si mi-a dat o solutie care am diluat-o cu apa si din care ii mai dau si acum [m-a costat 10 lei; avand in vedere pretul unui bonsai, chiar nu e scump ] . Tratamentul dureaza destul de mult,dar nu e foarte complicat.
Bonsaii sunt foarte sensibili cand vine vorba de viermisori. Pot chiar sa se uste complet si atunci adio planta.

Greseala 2: Nu am audat frunzele. Din cate am observat, odata cu incalzirea vremii frunzele devin putin crete,ca si cum ar fi deshidratate.Am cumparat un pulverizator cu 3 lei de la Auchan.In el am apa diluata cu solutie si o folosesc pentru a stropi si frunzele.Acestea devin foarte frumoase, netede, dupa pulverizare.

Cand i-am povestit doamnei de la florarie ca il ud in fiecare zi, a ras si a spus ca ei uda bonsaii doar 1 data pe saptamana. Eu din cate am citit, si din cate am experimentat pe bonsaiul meu, care dupa cum vedeti e frumos si creste, udarea trebuie facuta zilnic.

 

Rutina mea: Iau o cutie de inghetata si pun bonsai-ul in ea.Torn apa ca sa ud bine roata planta. Las 30 de secunde vasul in cutie,apoi scot copacelul si il tin pana nu mai picura din gaurile de evacuare, si il pun pe capacul cutiei de inghetata (acolo il tin). Pulverizez roata pe frunze, si gata.
