Learning to play “The Orga” – day 1

1st hour – procrastinating about the fact that the adaptor from the package is for the british plugs. (Or american ones, I don’t know, never been to America)

2nd hour – negociating with my bro’ to go to buy 6 batteries.

3rd hour – first 5 minutes – receiving from “far above” the idea that I actually have 8 (almost) full batteries in my house… 4 from my electronic scales and 4 rechargable from my old Olympus photo camera.

3rd and 4th hours – watching my bro how is testing every piece of button and every piece of tune.

4th and on… who cares? I’m hungry and very sleepy. Good night!

Ok, now?

I give you some excerpts from the book I’m reading now (the book that I bought on Friday night, from the Dalles Galeries), that I find very interesting and full of truth.

“[...] For example, if you’re asking someone to be quieter, try to develop a positive relationship with the person before asking or writing them with your request to make less noise. [...] – as in, you don’t have the right to ask someone something, anything that will be, if you didn’t give something that they want/need.

“You need to find a balance between creating too much stimulation, which causes anxiety, and too little stimulation, which results in boredom.”

“You need to use discrimination about when to push yourself to deal with stimulation and when to avoid being overwhelmed.”

“[...] In other words, when you sow a thought, you reap an action. When you repeat an action, you develop a habit. When you maintain a habit, you create a character.”

“Take changes step by step. For example, if you want to go to bed an hour earlier to obtain more sleep, try going to bed just five minutes earlier each night so that in a few weeks, you’ll reach your goal.” – on Thursday night I changed my alarm clock to wake me at 7:00 instead of 7:30. So, just waking-up half of hour earlier on Friday, with enough time to remember/analyse my dreams, I had a 22&1/2 hours-day of full awareness. Or I could blame this on the eclipse in my first house opposite my natal moon :D

“Make a resolution today that you will no longer remain in any environment in which there is no hope for you to be happy.”

“Once you become focused on establishing peace of mind, you won’t have to give others a piece of your mind.”

… and from the page 29 it really becomes truly captivating :)

“You may want to simply watch each thought as it arises. Each one is simply like a bus with a sign indicating a particular destination. As soon as you become aware of a thought, simply ask yourself if you want to go where that thought is taking you. [...] You always have a choice about whether to remain a passenger on any of the stressful buses that are passing through your mind. You can always choose to disembark at any time from a negative mental journey.” - I have discovered my “ability” to follow the trains of my thoughts around the age of 13… so I’m a HSP with some sort of inner-knowledge :)

And I’m starting to find this book quite empowering!

Happiness is something that you choose

Listening to Adele’s song I sudden had the realization that I don’t resonate with it.

Why? Because deep down inside, I’m not feeling bad at all, but I don’t know why I am wearing that often the “drama-mask”. Perhaps only because I feel physically tired, from everything I am required to do at work, on my home front and during my hobbies. Just a little tired, physically, since lately I cannot fall asleep until 2 AM… I feel too mentally energised to do it. That’s why I wanted to smoke… to low down a part of the energy and release the mental pressure… just until my heart, to fill in the void. It’s hard to live peacefully and happy when you know/see/feel too many things that not all the people do.

Last week I have bought myself a pack of cigarettes and I think it’s the third time I have done this in my life, each time from a different reason. I only smoked 2 and then I had no need to do it… but I won’t give it away to a smoker person, like the previous 2 times, I’ll keep it in my pocket, just in case, so I won’t have to ask other people when I’m out and I wanna do it. But you know what I realized? That 90% of the smokers are doing it unconsciously, because they are already too burned to realize the powerful effect that a smoke has over one’s emotional body. 90% of the smokers are just wasting money…

I bought myself a book: “The Highly Sensitive Person’s Survival Guide”. I don’t know why I did it, because it has a very rigid and technical language. And what I feel I need now, is imagination, fantasy stories, like “Alice in Wonderland” or “The Chronicles of Narnia”… I’m in a time in my life when I realized that I’m completely lacking in fantasy, because when someone asked me what I want for my birthday, I answered “just to answer the emails I wrote you”. That was a very dull reaction.

Last night, around 3 AM, while walking alone, in the search of myself, between the University Square and the Unirii Square, I met a cute guy :D Scorpio Mars, in my 12th house, over my Scorpio Venus. Someone that seems to be in the same physical universe as me and he sees me without the need to stare into my eyes to understand what I say. Such a relief to know that there are still people like this. And when I arrived home, with the first metro train, I saw that I have no light in my house. I have electricity, but I don’t have light. :D

Happiness is something that you choose, but first you need to learn how to do it.

Sweet long-waited INDEPENDENCE!!!

Is it really true that the subconscious realm is boundless? Is it really true that if you set your mind into something productive you instantly attract everything you need to make it real?

… epiphany? yes.

As highly creative and dreamy as I am I still don’t have enough imagination to wish for what this world/reality is truly able to give me.

How do you build /stimulate imagination? Is intelligence able to stimulate imagination or it goes only in the direction of confining it, by creating …imaginary (?!)… limits?

Last night I killed you!

[...] it was 2:55 AM when she woke up… after you hit the ground and completely turned into a black cloud that vanished away in the next instant.

Looks like, somehow, she managed to continue the action from the other time you hunted her dreams. Truly satisfying :D . She can still feel the touch of your skin at the end of her fingertips. But, in the end, she didn’t raise a finger to try to help you, just stood there against the wall, in that open balcony, watching you going down, while you were shouting for help.

Truly satisfying. [...]

And there was light!

Over the present.
Past.
And future.

Judging by the fact that a month ago I dreamt about snowed red rose buds and I awoke feeling very strange, it seems that some dreams do come true! There are times when You Do arrive where you wanted, but very far away from where you’ve prepared yourself for.

Buun… acum sa trecem la chestii mai pamantesti: in timp ce mancam, mi-am dat seama ca n-am stiut niciodata sa pun problema in serios, in viitor, in legatura cu viata mea profesionala.

Ma refer la faptul ca, de cand ma stiu, ma concentram intotdeauna doar in sensul de a trece de un hop sau altul, gandindu-ma ca apoi imi va fi bine si voi putea sa exist, fericita: sa iau bacul cu nota mare; sa intru la facultate; sa prind camin bun; sa primesc bursa in Spania; sa ma angajez; sa intru la master; sa-mi gasesc un serviciu mai bun; sa termin masterul :D … sa ma angajez din nou… sa devin Team-Leader… sa joc prima oara intr-o piesa de teatru… sa ma angajez din nou… sa devin Team-Leader… deci da, am intrat intr-o bucla.

Acum voi lua ca ipoteza si ca “de la sine inteles”, notiunile de existenta si de fericire, nemaivazand viata doar in materie de hopuri de trecut, ci in materie de cum sa-mi gestionez cel mai eficient (si efectiv) resursele de care dispun. Asa deci si prin urmare, luand ca ipoteza faptul ca voi fi obligata sa exist pe acest Pamant, inca cel putin 50 de ani, ar trebui sa-mi pun problema in sensul de cum sa-mi fac acesti urmatori 50 de ani cat mai placuti, nu cat mai stresanti, obositori, nesanatosi, lupta(ciosi), nervosi, egoisti etc, iar hopurile, vor fi (fost) trecute si ele… de la Sine :D

PS. … si tu consumi pentru niste nimicuri? :D Let there be light! Dream big.

It speaks in time

Tocmai am facut un test IQ :D

Si trebuie sa precizez ca mi s-a parut cam agresiv modul in care a intrat in viata mea (adica am dat search dupa numele meu pe google, am gasit asta si am fost foarte dezamagita de acea tiza a mea… sau orice alta persoana care ar fi dorit sa apara numele pe care il folosesc si eu, in dreptul acelui rezultat). Buun. Dupa ce m-am calmat, am facut si eu testul si am obtinut 141.

Sunt unele rezultate, in viata, care vorbesc prin ele si pentru ele, iar altele, care vorbesc doar in timp.

Adica, imediat dupa test, daca ora la care am primit eu sms-ul cu codul, era 13:15 (in 20 noiembrie 2011), ora la care acea persoana a facut testul, in 1 octombrie 2011, era aproximativ 14:37 (GMT+2)… care pentru noi, fiind ora de vara, era de fapt 15:37. Interesant.

Disclaimer: Acum ceva vreme am primit o replica tare interesanta: “Nu trebuie sa fumezi ca sa ma impresionezi pe mine…” Asa era? Iar eu am raspuns: “Nu, ca sa te impresionez pe tine, fac ore suplimentare… de fumat, fumez de nevoie.” De medicament, adica. Yap, that was me :(

Comunicare, comunicare, comunicare…

Dragut cuvant…
Btw, e o  chestie care ma framanta momentan: de unde iti vin cuvintele, replicile, frazele etc. atunci cand vorbesti fara sa gandesti?
De ce ne e asa de usor cateodata sa ne pierdem unii intr-altii?
De ce facem asta?
De ce ograda vecinului ni se pare mai frumoasa decat a noastra?
De ce “ganditul” a ajuns sa ne consume atat de multa energie?
De ce am uitat ce voiam sa ma mai intreb?

…la toate acestea si la muuulte altele sunt momentan obsedata sa caut raspuns.

A, da, mi-am comandat in sfarsit orga mult-dorita, nu e cine stie ce, dar ar trebui sa-mi foloseasca pentru inceput. La ce? Hmm…la crearea a cat mai multor legaturi intre emisferele mele cerebrale :d am o saptamana la dispozitie ca sa-mi pregatesc viata pentru ea.

The day I finished acting.

There are these particular nights in life… and dreams, or better say nightmares, that manage to completely change your plans and your life perspective.

Everyone should wish to have a smooth path of red rose petals, a guided way of evolution up to the desired/destined place… of milk and honey… but there are lives and times when you can only see the paths/doors that are closing behind you. And then, you know that you really have to wake-up and to fight forward, to make your life beautiful, interesting and fascinating. Again. There are times when you don’t have to “come to the restaurant that you own, to see it completely burned to the ground (extract from “Way of the silent warrior”)” in order to realize that you are finally free, to try something new.

I was so caught up in a stupid obsession during the past weeks/months that I even missed the deadline for the new article in the company’s magazine… I think I have enough for now: a good and understanding ;) job, photography, blog writting… And I desperately wanna start a sport… like swimming :D into the blue ocean of emotions :D
