He's out of our lives...



WELL what I day, I guess I'm still in shock. This morning Michael Jackson died. In the background, as I write this blog, I have his song She's Out of My Life playing. It was such a shock when my boss burst into the room breaking the news. I had heard on the radio earlier that he had been rushed to hospital, but it didn't sink in, I didn't think it was serious. He's the King of Pop man. But it's real. He's gone. The King of Pop is dead.

Although I'm a bit young to have been around at the beginnings of his career in Jackson 5 and Off The Wall, I still kinda grew up with his music being played. My Mum was a big fan of his and Michael Jackson was always playing on the records/tapes and later CDs at home. It was also my Mum's birthday today, but I guess this kinda put a dampener on that for her.
Michael was legend man! His songs were transgenerational and Michael may not have got to live forever like he wanted, but his songs will definately live for forever for him, as his legacy. Especially the early songs from back singing with his brothers and the MoTown days, to Off the Wall and of course Thriller.


I'm going to end this post with a couple of vids of two of my favourite songs of his... Smooth Criminal and Black and White




My heart goes out to his 3 kids Prince, Paris and Blanket and to the rest of his family. Love you Michael always and forever xxx May you rest in peace. Peace be upon your family in this tragic time for all your fans and friends but especially for the Jackson family.

Getting back on the wagon



OK in the few months since I moved to the city I seem to have slipped into old habits. I haven't had time yet to establish a new garden to grown my on veges and I have been living on junk food lately - I guess that's what happens when u move from a small town and your new place is just down the road from maccas. I have also lapsed out of my vegetarian status and have been eatting alot of chicken lately. I feel terrible about it but I can't help it!

Anyway, the first trimester of uni is almost over (last exam this Saturday) and I should actually be studying right now but what the hell! The reason I'm resuming writing to this blog is I am really thinking how I need to get back on the treehugger bandwagon. So I'm thinking I need a new challenge to help re-motivate me. After all, the climate change problem isn't going to go away on its own now is it. Every individual action counts. Which leads me to Greenpeace's latest campaign Sign On. With ambassadors such as Lucy Lawless and Keisha Castle-Hughes, Greenpeace is attempting to recruit as many people as possible to convince PM John Key to sign on to a 40 percent emission reduction target by 2020 in Copenhagen. Have u signed on yet? The world needs us because there is NO PLANET B.

Check out the vid below:



Okay, now back to my new challenge. As you know if you've been reading my blog since the beginning, I started manaakipapatuanuku with the six-month buy nothing challenge which had mixed results - although shortterm.

Now I'm going to look to another global pollution problem - PLASTIC. The problem with plastic is that it doesn't biodegrade, it photodegrades. Meaning it breaks up in light into smaller and smaller pieces which are dangerous to sea and bird life as these micro pieces of plastic are mistaken for food. There's also the chemical/toxic make up of plastic - it's basically oil and as we all know oil is a finite resource and peak oil is another constant threat. So to do my bit I'm going to attempt to cut plastic out of by life for good. To go on a plastic-free diet so to speak. I will be following in the footsteps of other plastic-free bloggers such as Fake Plastic Fish and Life Less Plastic and trawling through their blog-chives for inspiration and tips.

It's not going to be easy with temptation everywhere in this plastic world. But alas, just like the oil age, I think the plastic-age is coming to an end. But unfortunately existing plastic is going to be overstaying in our environment for millions of years yet.

So here's to:
- saying no to new plastic (I will retain existing plastic and buy post-consumer recycled plastic items)
- finding alternatives to plastic
- pushing for a plastic recycling plant in NZ (all our plastic we put in the recycling at present is being shipped to China. We should be cleaning up our own mess not shoving it onto someone else to take care of).

Here's to a new start and a life without plastic! XD

A Cappella Group Jukebox Make Good on Own



Like all popular music groups, the Jukebox Trio has its own successful formula. Presenting a rich mix of classic covers and original material in an open, friendly, accessible style – with two singers and a human beatbox – it’s hard not to enjoy the experience of seeing them play.

“I don’t know any other a cappella bands with only three people,” says lead singer Vladimir Ivanov. “Usually they have six, but we cut it down to the main things: bass, rhythm and melody. And actually, that’s all you really need in music.” Clever live sampling techniques are also often used to create layered, harmonised soundscapes that give the impression of more voices.

The group formed in 2004, when brothers Vladimir and Ilya Ivanov met Kirill Sharafutdinov at a vocal studio where they learned jazz and funk fundamentals. “We had mutual interests, we were listening to a lot of the same music – Bobby McFerrin, Take 6, Queen, The Beatles. It’s different music but we like it all,” explains Vladimir.

At live shows, this diversity is evident. Re-worked Elvis Presley hits, silky Bossa Nova ballads and sermonising soulful serenades are all on the agenda. The penultimate track on the Trio’s debut album, Acappellipsis, features a list of influential artists: names as varied as Ozzy Ozbourne, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and the Chemical Brothers are recited in comically exaggerated Russian accents.

However, copies of the CD are somewhat hard to come by. “We decided not to sell the album in shops, it’s only available at our concerts,” says Vladimir. Why? “It’s a big problem to make a good production with Russian record labels. They are really down now.” He also cites the mercenary nature of the country’s music industry as something the group wants to avoid. “Radio stations and TV channels play everything just for money, apart from maybe Western musicians – mainstream stuff. If you want to be big in Russia, you have to pay.

“The most important thing with Jukebox Trio is that, at first, it wasn’t for money – simply for pleasure. When we started to earn money with the music, it was a bonus. And that’s still the order of priorities.”

The fickle nature of the scene in their home city, Kazan, was another obstacle the group strove to overcome. “The funny thing about Kazan is that, as it’s the capital of Tatarstan, the Tatar public tend to like mostly Tatar singers. We were like some kind of circus for them. Breaking onto Moscow stages in 2006 was a really big step for us – people started to say we were musicians and not just a circus, we were getting real respect,” says Vladimir.

A subsequent string of gigs around Russia earned Jukebox many fine reviews, as well as a prize from pop heroine Alla Pugacheva and the chance to open Elton John’s show in Rostov-on-Don. They are already writing for a third CD, which will come after an album comprising cover versions of well-known Russian rock songs.

Ilya Ivanov, the Trio’s rhythmic engine, is optimistic about future prospects. “We’re hoping to collaborate with a suitable record label, which can help us produce great albums.” And in the long term, he makes no secret of lofty ambitions: “We want to become famous and be like rock stars all over the world – at least like The Beatles! I want to travel and perform in many different countries. And I think it is really possible, because I believe in the power of music.”

The Jukebox Trio take music down to its basic elements, focusing on the purity and versatility of the human voice – no instruments required. An online video for their song ‘So… Let Me Know’ emphatically illustrates this concept, as the group are shown smashing guitars into splinters at the tune’s climax. Don’t expect that to happen at every show, but, as Vladimir says, “you’ll be put in a good mood”.

Earth Patriot




Igor Butman“I always wanted to be a cosmonaut,” states Fyodor Yurchikhin without hesitation. “When I was a small boy, I jumped from a second floor balcony because I thought I was Gagarin! My father jumped after me, it all happened very fast, and luckily we were both OK.”

Born in January 1959, Yurchikhin grew up during the heyday of the Soviet space programme. Yuri Gagarin’s maiden flight in 1961 held mythical significance: “When we played in our yard, we would pretend to be Russian cosmonauts,” he recounts. “We knew all their names and I can’t tell you how much it meant to us. Gagarin was more than a name. For us, what he did was something like the impossible. He was an icon, a symbol – ‘Wow, Gagarin!’”

Yurchikhin’s face still glows with childlike enthusiasm as he talks, springing up to illustrate the balcony scenario or act out the process of spacewalking. His two missions to the International Space Station, in 2002 and 2007, amount to over 200 days, with nearly 19 hours working in open space.

“My first time on the ISS, the biggest problem was orientation. There’s no gravity, everything is floating around; until you adjust to that, you have to move very slowly, holding onto things.”

“When I first looked down out at the earth, I realised it’s impossible to understand this view from pictures. It’s black of course, but when you get there you see it’s not a normal black – it has infinite depth. I wanted to touch the colours, they are so bright and clear. No photos can convey the beauty of that sight.”

Nevertheless, Yurchikhin keenly uses orbital photography to spread his ideals for the future of humanity. His work has been exhibited around Russia[?]. “The name of my gallery is ‘Our House on Earth,’ because everybody should understand it’s very small. Yes, very big for us, but in reality very small. You need to keep your house clean and beautiful, we need to understand this; otherwise, we may destroy the house. It’s terrible.”

He applies this approach to both environmental and social concerns, as well as international relations. “People need to understand each other. We need to stop settling problems with weapons and war. It’s quite probable there is life on other planets. I think contact could be valuable for both sides if we understand and respect each other. But this doesn’t happen on earth, a planet where people have been living together for thousands of years.”

“I think the international space programme can be used as a model for the future: many different countries, different languages and different levels of technology all working together. America and Russia in particular have very different ways of thinking. For example, there’s an old joke that when the Americans found it was a problem to write in space, they spent a million dollars to invent a special space pen. The Russians used pencils!”

Yurchikhin picks a potent analogy to look at these varying national standards. In the first class at school, children arrive knowing different things. Even if some start off being able to count higher numbers, for example, this doesn’t mean they’ll finish in first place. “I don’t know how we will graduate the ISS school. Russia and America too should understand we are all still in school, we must continue and share knowledge.”

“If we’re doing complex work in a difficult area, like cosmic research, it is very useful to work with others. Views can become clouded. Including different people can bring new perspectives to old problems.”

Looking to the future, Yurchikhin believes the next step is colonisation. “We should go to a planet, build something and live there. The moon should come first, then possibly Mars. We should also continue developing ideas for a new spacecraft.”

On April 12, Russian Cosmonauts’ Day, the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics opened its refurbished doors in northeast Moscow. It is situated beneath a towering, angular monument with a soaring rocket at the peak. More than 3,000 exhibits include a life-size replica of the space station Mir, Gagarin’s legendary orange spacesuit and all kinds of lunar vehicles – in short, a fascinating stroll through Russian space history.

“It’s a good idea,” says Yurchikhin. “I hope lots of kids will go. I love meeting children who have this dream, just like I did. Maybe now more people will talk about cosmonautics as well – it’s not as popular as it used to be.”

Again emphasising the spirit of unity he so desires, Yurchikhin remains an optimist at heart. “For a while I wanted the Russian space programme to be number one, but perhaps now we should change our minds now. It’s better if our national programme is part of a wider international project. Being first isn’t important. We’re all going to fly into space together.”

“Going to space, every one of us went as a patriot of our own country. But we came back as patriots of our earth.”

RIR Dossier
Fyodor Nikolaevich Yurchikhin was born on 3/1/1959 in the autonomous Republic of Ajara, Georgia. On graduating high school in 1976, he entered the Moscow Aviation Institute. He qualified as a mechanical engineer in 1983 and joined Energia, the Russian Space Corporation, where he rose to the position of lead engineer. In November 1999 he completed his basic cosmonaut training course. In January 2000, he started training for the ISS programme. In October 2002, Yurchikhin flew aboard STS-112; his first space flight logged a total of 10 days, 19 hours, and 58 minutes. His second flight, in April 2007, was a 197-day tour of duty commanding the Expedition-15 mission aboard the ISS. He was honoured as a Hero of Russia on October 23, 2008. Yurchikhin also holds a PhD in economics and enjoys reading, sports, stamp-collecting and space history.

Đứng dậy sau vấp ngã tình cảm



Khi yêu không ai muốn chia tay cả. Nhưng nếu chẳng may một ngày nào đó, anh ấy trả bạn về "hội độc thân vui vẻ" thì bạn sẽ làm gì? đây là kinh nghiệm của Diệp sau khi "được" người ấy cho hát solo sau một thời gian hát song ca với nhau. Hi vọng sẽ giúp được bạn nhanh chóng đứng dậy sau vấp ngã và nhanh chóng trở lại là chính mình.


* Bạn đang vật vã và tưởng rằng mình không thể sống thiếu anh ấy, nhưng nếu bạn biết được cảm giác thật của mình thì bạn sẽ cảm thấy đỡ hơn rất nhiều.
+ Bạn sợ cảm giác 1 mình, cảm thấy trống rỗng...=> Đó chẳng qua là vì bạn chưa quen thôi.
+ Bạn cảm thấy tức giận và bị tổn thương vì "tại sao mình đã như thế này mà anh ấy lại như thế kia?" => Đây đâu phải là 1 vụ hơn thua và đâu phải bạn là người bại trận? Chỉ là chấm dứt 1 mối quan hệ đã không còn tốt nữa thôi.
+ Bạn thấy ấm ức. Bận đang cần 1 lời xin lỗi, 1 lời giải thích hoặc ít nhất là 1 dấu hiệu nào đó chứng tỏ anh ấy cũng đang đau đớn như bạn...=> Bạn chỉ đang quá nuông chiều cái tôi của mình, thế thôi.

* Khi break-up, bạn thường có những hành động để quên EX, nhưng hãy suy nghĩ kĩ hành động nào nên hay không nên nhé.
+ TRẢ LẠI QUÀ TẶNG => không nên
Nếu không muốn nhìn thấy chúng, đơn giản là cho hết vào hộp và khoá chúng lại. Việc gì phải trả lại hay vứt đi, trừ khi nhà bạn quá chật để chứa chúng. Trả lại những món đồ chỉ chứng tỏ rằng bạn vẫn còn trẻ con và vẫn đang ăn thua cay cú mà thôi.
+ KHÓC LÓC => nên
Kể với 1 ai đó, nhắn tin hay nói chuyện với 1 ai đó...Cứ đẩy hết tất cả những cảm xúc ra ngoài. Bạn đang rất đau lòng cơ mà. Giữ rịt những cảm xúc đó lại không làm cho bạn trở nên mạnh mẽ hơn đâu, ngược lại, stress quá dễ dẫn đến bệnh trầm cảm lắm. Nên nếu có thể khóc được thì cứ khóc đi nhé.
+ ĐƯA RA GIẢ ĐỊNH NẾU ...THÌ TÌNH YÊU CÓ CÒN HAY KHÔNG => không nên.
Tất cả các giả định chỉ gây thêm sự tiếc nuối cho tình yêu cũ mà thôi.
+ NHỚ LẠI NHỮNG KỈ NIỆM ĐẸP => không nên.
Đành rằng là bạn nên giữ lại những điều tốt đẹp về nhau sau chia tay. Nhưng đó không phải là chuyện bạn nên làm lúc này. Kỉ niệm đẹp sẽ chỉ khiến bạn càng đau khổ hơn và khó mà quen được anh ấy hơn mà thôi. Bạn đang trong thời kì "bảo dưỡng lại trái tim" cơ mà, nhớ không?
+ LÀM 1 CÁI GÌ ĐẤY => nên.
Cầm máy ảnh đi cùng bạn bè, thử những quán mới, đăng kí 1 lớp học nhảy hiphop, học 1 ngoại ngữ mới, thử 1 phong cách thời trang mới, chơi game, đi làm thêm...tất cả những công việc bận rộn sẽ khiến bạn không có thời gian để mà ngồi nhớ nữa. Và tin diệp đi, đảm bảo bạn sẽ thấy mình thật là kì diêu.
+ SAY BÍ TỈ => không nên.
Sự thật là rượu chỉ khiến bạn có đủ can đảm để nói năng lảm nhảm, nhảy múa như thể đánh rơi não ở nhà, thậm chí gào khóc như điên...nhưng sáng hôm sau, khi tỉnh dậy, bạn thậm chí còn rơi vào cảm giác tồi tệ hơn trước đó nhiều.
+ ĂN, ĂN VÀ ĂN => không nên.
Khi buồn bã bạn mua về 1 đống hoa quả, bánh kẹo ăn để quên buồn. Thay vì vậy, tại sao bạn không đi xem phim hay thuê truyện về đọc nhỉ? Vì sau khi nỗi buồn của bạn tạm thời vơi đi thì thức ăn " giúp" vòng 2 của bạn tăng lên ít nhiều. Đến khi cần tự tin để có 1 ngày hẹn tiếp theo với 1 anh chàng hay ho nào đó thì bạn đã khóc ròng vì phải giảm cân cấp tốc đó.
+ TÌM 1 CÁI PHAO YÊU => rất rất không nên.
bạn không cần tìm 1 ai đó để yêu. Thật sự bạn chỉ cần 1 ai đó biết lắng nghe và chia sẻ, thế là đủ. Ngay lập tức "quơ" 1 anh chàng để làm người thay thế là 1 giải pháp vô cùng ngớ ngẩn. Trái tim của bạn lúc này chưa hẳn là sáng suốt. Con tim cũng cần có thời gian để hồi phục và tìm kiếm những mục tiêu mới. cảm giác lao vào 1 ai đó khi tim bạn đang dán băng keo chi chít chỉ làm cho 1 trái tim đang lành lặn phải vào nhà thương mà thôi. Bạn cũng đâu muốn làm 1 ai đó bị tổn thương như bạn, phải không?
+ NÓI XẤU EX => không nên.
Mặc dù trong chuyện này anh ấy cũng có phần lỗi, nhưng nói ầm lên cho cả thế giới biết thật không nên chút nào. mọi chuyện đã là quá khứ, nếu cứ tiếp tục mổ xẻ lỗi lầm của nhau như thế thì cũng không giải quyết được gì. Bạn còn nhiều việc thú vị để làm hơn là tìm cách trả đũa 1 anh chàng đã không còn yêu mình nữa mà, phải không? Và đừng nhầm lẫn chuyện chia tay với chiến thắng và thất bại. Người ta thường nhầm lẫn người chia tay trước là người chiến thắng. Bạn không phải là người thất bại. bạn chỉ để cho 1 người bước ra khỏi cuộc sống của mình mà thôi.
+ TỰ HÀNH HẠ BẢN THÂN MÌNH => không nên.
Trước những cú shock tình cảm, con người thường có khuynh hướng muốn thay đổi, phá vỡ những luật lệ và ranh giới cũ để thu hút sự chú ý, đòng thời cho mọi người thấy rằng bạn vẫn ổn, vẫn sống rất tốt. nhưng bạn đừng nên tự hành hạ bản thận mình, hay tự trách móc bản thân vì mối quan hẹ đã chết. Chuyện gì đã xảy ra thì cũng đã xảy ra rồi. Tự trách móc bản thân cũng không khiến 1 chuyện tồi tệ trở thành 1 chuyện tốt đẹp. Việc mà bạn nên làm là rút kinh nghiệm cho mối quan hệ sau, thế thôi.
+ TRỞ VỀ VỚI GIA ĐÌNH => nên
Chia tay là 1 chuyện rất đau lòng, và càng đau lòng hơn khi bạn là người bị động trong chuyện đó. Phát ngôn hay hành động gì trong lúc đau khổ cũng có thể để lại hậu quả đáng hối tiếc. hãy tạm gác tất cả mọi chuyện lại, dành thời gian cho gia đình là cách hay nhất để bạn có thể nhanh chóng lấy lại cân bằng.
+ SUY NGHĨ VỀ LỜI GIẢI THÍCH "TỰ NHIÊN HẾT YÊU" => không nên
Không có chuyện "tự nhiên" với "bỗng dưng" đâu. Thật ra đó là cả 1 quá trình, 1 con đường dài, và ngày hôm đó chỉ là ngày anh ấy thu hết can đảm để nói ra mà thôi. Vì thế không cần phải ngạc nhiên, ngơ ngác hay ngây thơ nghĩ rằng đó chỉ là nhất thời nên có thể cứu vãn. Nó là chấm hết.
+ GỌI ĐIỆN, NHẮN TIN CHO ANH ẤY => không nên.
Dừng ngay việc bạn đang làm lại. Ý Diệp là việc cứ 5 phút lại kiểm tra xem có tin nhắn hay cuộc gọi lỡ nào từ anh ấy không. và cũng dừng ngay lại việc "khủng bố" anh ấy bằng tin nhắn hay gọi điện lại. Việc bạn đang làm chỉ khiến anh ấy càng có thêm lí do để củng cố thêm cho quyết tâm chia tay bạn mà thôi.
+ "CHÚNG TA LÀ BẠN TỐT" => Bây giờ thì không nên nhưng sau này thì rất nên.
Bạn và anh ấy vì không hợp để tiếp tục bên nhau không có nghĩa là bạn phải coi anh ấy như kẻ thù thế kia. Nhưng đó là chuyện của sau này, khi trái tim bạn không còn thổn thức vì chia tay anh ấy nữa. Còn bây giờ, việc vẫn còn liên lạc với anh ấy sẽ chỉ càng làm chậm quá trình hồi phục của trái tim bạn mà thôi. Và tin Diệp đi, việc vẫn giữ liên lạc với anh ấy và luôn phiên dịch mọi tin nhắn "em khoẻ không" hay "chúc em ngủ ngon" thành ra "anh muốn chúng ta quay lại" chỉ làm bạn càng đắm chìm trong mối quan hệ cũ mà thôi. đừng ảo tưởng nữa. hãy là bạn tốt của nhau sau. Giờ bạn đang cần hồi phục trái tim cơ mà, nhớ không?
+ TỰ TIN, TỰ TIN VÀ TỰ TIN HƠN NỮA => rất nên.
Anh ấy chia tay bạn không có nghĩa bạn là 1 người xấu xa hay có điểm nào không tốt, không hấp dẫn. chỉ đơn giản là anh ấy thấy bạn không hợp với anh ấy nữa. bạn không cần phải quá lăn tăn vì 1 người không nhìn ra những ưu điểm của bạn. Hãy nghĩ rằng anh ấy đã không may mắn có được 1 người bạn gái tuyệt vời như bạn. Ngoài kia chắc chắn sẽ có người nhìn thấy những ưu điểm của bạn, yêu bạn vì bạn là chính bạn, chấp nhận cả những điểm chưa hoàn hảo ở bạn và giúp bạn hoàn thiện những điểm không hoàn hảo đó. sẽ có 1 người thật xứng đáng dành cho bạn.

Nào, khóc lóc thế đủ rồi. Hãy đứng dậy và đi tiếp, hỡi nữ chiến binh dũng cảm. Bạn đang mất lòng tin vào tình yêu, nhưng tình yêu là có thật. Nó sẽ luôn hiện hữu trong trái tim bạn, nói cho bạn biết bạn đang nghĩ về ai, làm thế nào để có được người đó, và nhất là làm thế nào để giữ gìn nó.
* ĐỂ EX LÀ NEXT
Nếu trong thâm tâm bạn biết cả 2 chỉ là đang khủng hoảng và trong lòng bạn còn thật sự yêu thì vẫn còn cách để cưa lại EX của mình. Nhưng quyết định cưa lại vô cùng mạo hiểm vì nó có thể là sự ngộ nhận, không phải tình yêu. Nếu không tỉnh táo, bạn rất dễ bị đau tập 2 => cẩn thận. Đây là 1 số kinh nghiệm của Diệp
- Ngừng liên lạc 1 thời gian.
- Ra ngoài với bạn bè và cho anh ấy thấy bạn tiếp tục cuộc sống của mình 1 cách vui vẻ nhất.
- Nếu gặp anh ấy, hãy cười thật tươi và nói chuyện tự nhiên hêt mức có thể, dù bạn rất muốn khóc. Đưng đề cập đến vấn đề quay lại.
- Luôn trông xinh đẹp nhất, ăn mặc có đầu tư và ổn định cái cân.
- Thân thiện, gần gũi kiểu như luôn là bạn của anh ấy.
=> Nếu tình yêu trong anh ấy còn, chắc chắn anh ấy sẽ tìm cách trở lại lần nữa. Còn nếu anh ấy không có động tĩnh gì, hãy tự hào vì bạn đã cố gắng hết sức mình. hãy mỉm cười rồi hít 1 hơi thật sâu, rút kinh nghiệm và xách cưa đi cưa người khác.

* DẤU HIỆU KẾT THÚC THỰC SỰ
- 1 trong 2 hoặc cả 2 mất đi sự tôn trọng lẫn nhau. Người này không còn quan tâm đến cảm giác, ước mơ, suy nghĩ của người khác.
- Trách móc, lên án, từ chối đối thoại. Nếu có ngồi lại nói chuyện thì 1 lúc sau là 1 buổi luận tội nhau.
- Cảm thấy cả 2 đã quá xa nhau.

* DẤU HIỆU BẠN ĐANG NẤN NÁ VÔ ÍCH
- Bạn dặn lòng không gọi anh ấy nữa nhưng cứ check mail 5 phút 1 lần, thường xuyên chờ đời điện thoại từ anh ấy.
- Nhắc về anh ấy không ngừng.
- Tự hỏi giờ này anh ấy đang làm gì.
- Phát hiện ra mình đang lang thang ở những nơi in dấu kỉ niệm cũ.
- Đi lang thang và chợt thấy mình đang đi trên con đường quen thuộc dẫn đến nhà anh ấy.
- Ăn uống, shopping vô tội vạ mà không hiểu vì sao.
- Ngắm ảnh anh ấy trên máy rồi bật khoc ngon lành.
=> Nếu bạn cứ mãi ngắm nhìn hoặc tệ hơn là sống trong quá khứ thì bạn sẽ không bao gìơ có thể tiến lên được. Nếu anh ấy thật sự còn yêu bạn, anh ấy sẽ để bạn biết điều ấy. Cũng như Diệp đã luôn để anh ấy biết rằng Diêp vẫn còn yêu anh ấy. Còn nêu không, hãy dũng cảm lên và đi tiếp, bạn nhé.

Going ou naturele 2.


About this category: Culture


As i've already written in a previous mail about it, i'm going to add some words to it in this one too.

Since i've started knitting and exploring other roots and heritages on of the best things i dicovered about it was that at that moment time stops and you relax, forget about all the worries you have and can do much more later on throughout the day :)

All the things i've discovered so far are so interesting to me-the games my grandparents played, songs they've sung, food they've made (this part is the best-cooking traditional food-i've known some, but am learning many more now) and about all the things they've done.

What i don't like is that people are starting to forget their origin, how life was back then and are too much in this all modern technology and life we have one. I'm worried all this will be forgotten. As i've spoken to some kids there are many things they don't know and understand. But why is that so-because nobody tells them! How could they know then? Not everybody is like me, who wants to explore and ask questions. Hope this will start to change, because i think it's time we start thinking about others and about our origins, our mother Nature nevertheless ...

On the picture you can see our corn-rack or as it is called here "toplar". Nowadays we don't storrage hay in it, but as the techonology developed on - our cars :)

My fish



Yesterday evening my goldfish died. Believe it or not - she helped me get through my troubles when i was in highschool. To some it might seem this fact ridiculous, but believe it or not such small creature can give you much.
So, may she rest in peace :)

Moscow: the new home of jazz



guardian.co.ukFrom hard bop to the new school, jazz has found a haven in post-communist Russia.

Moscow's jazz scene is a creature of many faces. Take the comical shenanigans of one big band in a dive of an expat bar, with all members clad in matching mustard-yellow tassled jackets and an old hippy guitarist who looks (and probably thinks) like he's still in the Swinging 60s, or a pastiche Cuban group belting out Santana covers to an empty room. Contrast that with heavy-hitters like saxophonist Igor Butman, a popular figure who cut his teeth in the US for a decade, or Alex Rostotsky, an electric bass player whose latest CD features adventurous adaptations of works by Modest Mussorgsky. Right down to a highly flamboyant yet equally creative acapella vocal trio called Jukebox, it's all here.

According to Cyril Moshkov, editor of jazz.ru, Russia's only jazz magazine, there are about 1,000 jazz players in the city (official population 10.5 million – in reality it's more). They fall into three generations: the old guard, who favour austere hard bop and other mainstream styles; the middlemen, now in their 30s and 40s, 80% of whom left Russia to pursue careers abroad (interestingly, many went to Israel); and, finally, the young cats, still paying their dues and finding a way into the murky world of jazz music.

Russia's first jazz concert took place in October 1922 at the behest of Valentin Parnakh, an enigmatic all-rounder who wrote poetry, choreographed ballet and played piano. He brought the first jazz records and instruments to the country from Paris. The music was thereafter repressed in various ways throughout the Soviet Union – including the period of Butman's emergence in the 70s and 80s, when non-state-sanctioned concerts could see musicians or promoters locked up. During jam sessions with visiting American groups, Russians played with their foreign peers but were not allowed to exchange words. Government inspectors would ensure two violations resulted in dismissal from the state booking agency, which provided musicians with all their work.

Much has changed since those dark days. One look at the monthly gig listings on jazz.ru's information portal will show abundant choices any given night – and not only local groups, but a host of international names as well. Tessa Souter, a British vocalist who lives in New York, recently played a couple of dates at the Union of Composers and was happy to sing the praises of her Russian backing band: "They were great. There's something different about the way Russians swing, it's wonderful. Musicians have a lot of soul like the Russian people."

Financial woe may have hit the country hard, but that hasn't stopped a new jazz club from popping up right in the historic centre of Moscow – the V&J, situated on Old Arbat, a popular tourist promenade. "People are becoming more interested in music and art, not material things, so I don't think the crisis makes a difference" says Victor Voitov, the V half of "V&J". "We wanted to open a place where Moscow's high-level musicians can let new people into jazz music."

Even after three months of pretty solid concertgoing, there's still a lot left for me to see.

The MLC proposes that any person who gives or publishes false or inaccurate concerning HIV and AIDS to any person or the public shall be committing an offence and shall face punishment. This is so because of the tendency by traditional doctors, faith groups, and others who provide false or inaccurate information to HIV infected people and the general public.
