My 12 weeks plan!

Yay, while absent from the blog I came up with new ways to entertain myself!

I made myself a 12 weeks plan, with the purpose to challenge myself and keeping my body in top shape! Every week has a topic and is an adventure in itself. It won't force me to be consitent, rather inventive.

Right now we are in week 2. MY VEGAN WEEK!!!!!!

Ok, this isn't because of the poor animals, but because I heard from different sources about the positive side effects of being vegan. I tried to find you a cool link for this, but they happen to be all uncool, so either google it yourself, or enjoy my very condensed list:

weightloss, healtier hair, gums, and teeth, more energy, more libido, no body smells, more creative cooking!

So my challenge is: no animal products for one week, I am curious if I feel a difference. I will keep a food log on this blog, so you can see what I come up with and I can persude the last ones of you that being vegan doesn't mean to chew raw carrot only (my dad was affraid I won't get enough fat, and gave me a 1h sermon about all non-animal sources of fat and protein. nice, huh?)

One very nice blog featuring italian vegan kitchen! to give you a nice start :)

HIII!

I'm back to blogging! yeah, I need those breaks from it, I could never blog prfessionally.. I just don't like routine.

Like my nice roommate Dely quoted:

"EVERYTHING IS MAGIC UNTIL IT BECOMES ROUTINE."

THE COMPETITION IS OVER

Here we go, the competition is over! His name is Hitler, and my roommate chose the name. I can't appreciate this name at all times, so I usually call him Adolf, Adolfo or Oscar instead.

Unfortunately the facebookpost of another friend gave the right answer away, and I'd find it unethical to reward someone with the advantage of having insight in my facebook account. It's unfair to those people who actually borrowed books about the Bulgarian history and humour in the library, and I know some of you did!

But since you all (my two main readers) got so excited I will start another competition soon.

For now I say bye with the word "TENG" and a diagonal stroke with my index finger.

PS: that's what koreans say and do to express "you guessed wrong!!"

Taram...

While sewing on a jacket (the sartorial classical cut) I am listening to Ray Charles... It feels good to be working in a tidy room.. haha, you can guess that I didn't do that in a while!

She made me think....

The essence of this song is so true, I am really touched. Music should inspire and give you energy, not degrade others. Kids are wiser than you think.

applying the diesel campaign to life:

Be stupid.

War

One of my big fascinations.

First of all you have to know that I am very very anti militaristic. I just think that violence is never a solution, it creates more problems. I also hate the thought of people being killed for whatever reason (I also don't support the death penalty). And the fact that people in politics sacrifice strong young man, instead of trying to be diplomatic. Eversince I am little I refuse to touch guns and I can't watch horror films because i get nightmares. Soooooo, why that post about war you might wonder?

I am not oblivient to what's going on in the world. There are people fighting in so many places in the world, some closer to us than we can imagine, at this very second. What does a soldier feel? The moral split between what's good and bad. So much violence. The value of a life. The value of their own lives. Fear. Death. Passion. I started thinking about this when I got to know some soldiers personally. It helped me to see their point of view. I could see the human in them rather than the dumb american killing machine that is send to death by a heartless government.

And I understand that dark things always fascinate me. Dark and dangerous. Forbidden things don't thrill me too much, but the dark side in every human represents a beauty hard to describe.

All the emotions bundled in this topic are strong and contradicting. The uniforms are bright and beautiful, the men are homogenisized, strong, living a harsh controlled life. If you consider all this you might understand why I collect pictures like the following, and why they serve as such an inspiration (and that's why fashion has so many military influences, reoccuring every season)...

We have a new pet!

TADAAA!

No, It's not a horse :D it's a gecko! My roommate found him in the street and now he eats the flies we catch in our kitchen. To guess his name you have to understand a lot about Bulgarian humour and history. Should I make this a game? ok. If you can guess what he is called I will send you a reward (something cool from Florence, or something to eat)! btw, if I mentioned the name in your presence, you can't be part of the contest DUH.

So here are the name guessing clues:

Bulgarian history. Bulgarian humour. You have heard this name before...

Summer is coming!

I mean it's march. Then April. May is like summer already, don't you agree? And every moment where you feel the warmth of the sun on your skin can be counted as summer too. It is so close that I can almost touch it!

And according to my mum this is gonna be the summer of love. If you know my mum, you will understand that she is always right about such predictions.

The birth of an idea

I get those ideas.

I can't draw it, I can't explain it. But I know it could exist.

Unconsciously I am familiar with it like with my own child. I might not be able to tell you what it looks like, or what it feels like, but when I touch it, I know that it could not have been any other way.

Yes, I am talking about design.
