“Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free.”    Honestly, I had never read Coelho before and I was pleasantly surprised by his writing. “Eleven minutes” is about the life of a woman, right from the beginning, from her first crush at the age of eleven(which, apropos, has no...

Did you ‘get’ the titles of the books these cute sisters are reading? As adults, we have come to know that reading the Bible is the best way to stay strong in our faith. However, we see many who struggle to “make themselves” read. So, it’s important to teach kids to like (if not love) [..

In case you're wondering why posting has been a bit slower than usual, please send all hate mail to George R.R. Martin. Reading Game Of Thrones is so addicting, I can't remember the last time I read a book that was able to get me so captivated! Almost finished the first volume, so today I went...

Săptămâna trecută am citit When Everything Changes, Change Everything, de Neale Donald Walsch. Mi-am comandat versiunea în română de aici. Cartea te învață cum să faci față schimbărilor nedorite care apar în viața ta. Apoi cum să creezi schimbarea în mod conștient.  Neale...

I am definitely not an admirer of Minimalism, the artistic movement in the 20th century, but it is nonetheless an interesting moment to study. For me this translates mainly into a curiosity to see how far will humans go with their interpretation of art, what are the motives for creating it and...

Probabil mă voi trezi iar pe blog cu diverși evlavioși creștini-ortodocși, așa cum am pățit aici, dar îmi asum riscul. Cine știe, poate articolul care urmează îi va lumina și pe ei, deși nu vor recunoaște asta. M-am gândit că din moment ce am început o rubrică sexuală aici pe...

Vin cateodata acele momente cand te gandesti ca lucrurile sunt mai mult decat ceea ce par. De asemenea mai vin momente cand te gandesti cat intelege pisica ta din ce vorbesti cu ea. Eu deja sunt in dubii… Cam asa … Continue reading →

I decided that it was going to be my Saturday so instead of staying home and listen to people discussing about things like birgies for example, I packed some things and left. I was going to a spa center and let myself be treated like a princess that I was. Fortunately, my best friend came with...

Surely this isn't the first time you're hearing about Game of Thrones, is it? The first volume from George R.R. Martin's fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire" is the latest book i'm reading. About half-way through  and I'm making plans to go to my nearest English Bookstore and purchase all of...

Home is a recent sculptural installation by Colombian artist Miler Lagos. The piece was constructed at MagnanMetz Gallery late last year using carefully stacked books to create a compact dome that is entirely self-supporting.

Today we will begin a journey into Minimalism and as a map (or, to be more modern, GPS... or modern still, GLONASS) we will use the chapter "Modernism in Retreat: Minimalist Aesthetics and Beyond" from the book "After Modern Art: 1945-2000" by David Hopkins. First of all, what is Minimalism?...

I didn't discover Rilke when I needed him but when I finally started reading his works I knew there was something linking my soul to his through letters, rhymes and meters (metres). The reason I overlooked him on a few occasions was because of my reticence to read translated poetry, something I...

Hi Kalena I’m really enjoying using Google+ and I hope they don’t retire it like Buzz. I’ve started to cross post between my Google+, Facebook and Pinterest accounts and I’m finally getting some shares and links back to my hobby site as a result. I’ve noticed that some people use...
