Dear Alls..

just came up with the certain urge to put somewhere feelings and experiences i have gotten in my mind heart. sometimes there is this feeling that I have to tell it to someone, and someone who will understand, who will not judge or misunderstand, who will be patient and just listen and accept.

more and more there are new experiences i go through as girlfriend of a certain person, with his own personality, cultural and characteristic features.

Today i had opportunity to take part in something that took place for the first time in place called Agia Skepi (detox center). Place, where people who are dependent on things they should not be, can find a refuge, can find people who will do everything to help them. Its beautiful. There were about 20 guys and one pregnant lady who received honor to be called as "clean" for at least three years. There were tears in the eyes of mothers, fathers, brothers. There was His Eminence Athanasios, Metropolitan of Limassol giving congratulations to the guys who went through the programme, who were smiling, who had saved their lives back through this place, blessed by Agia Skepi and our Lord.

The presentation with recorded voices of the guys who are still going through the programme, showed everyday activities of these kids (they are called like that), things that go through their minds and how the programm is working in their lives. a little insight:

"“I agreed to go for a week and stayed two years. If it hadn’t been for Ayia Skepi I would be dead.”

Alexi says his stay at Ayia Skepi was psychologically gruelling, but that it is the only way to recover from heroin addiction. During his time there, he learned how to communicate with others and to ask for help. Group therapy, gardening, sports and kitchen duties are all part of the programme, he said. Eventually, the patients are allowed day passes and even 24-hour passes. They are also sent out to work. This way they are reintegrated back into society slowly, he said.

Alexi recognizes he has an addictive personality and swings from extremes. Sometimes even now he feels lonely and shuts himself off from the world for a few days to stay at home and compose as well as play the upright bass. At first he was very angry with his parents, but now he has come to terms with their parenting techniques and that they too, like him, have faults."

For me as a"clean" person seems that I would even need to be there, to recruit the state of mind for the life. To answer important questions, to sharpen my humility skills, to be disciplined, to recognize power of God through this place. (picture will be)

for me to be

2008-05-25T22:14:00.003+02:00

For me to be is to pray, to see the power and the worth of the words spoken and thought in mind, to say them loud, to believe them, to feel them and agree with them.

"I can take my telescope and look millions of miles into space; but I can go away to my room and in prayer get nearer to God and Heaven then I can when assisted by all the telescopes on earth." /Isaac Newton/

Just lately I have just fell in admiration of prayers written by people. Written Prayers inspire me, cos I know I don't have talent for writing poems. I have tried, but nothing much has come out of that. So I receive inspiration and encouragement from prayer books.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me the sinner.

For me to be is to love, to give up all in the name of love, to go far beyond I can do. Sometimes I say more than I do. That's lying to myself and to other people. Sometimes I do not fear the task, but when I see it, I run away. that's my coward-ness.

For me to be, is to do. To do it right is very important, to with quality and withing the standard is right way to do. I like to explain, I like to show, I like to answer and give the information. As I can do that, it is a great feeling, that you have something you can't measure, you can't put in box and save, you can just receive and give away further. Knowledge. Makes me feel rich in nothing.

For me to be is to submit and listen, to humble myself and let the other win. I am not a crafty fighter.

Into Your hands, Lord Jesus Christ, I commend my soul and my body. Bless me, have mercy on me, and grant me life eternal. Amen.

ΚΑΛΊ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ - the midnight service

2008-04-30T19:35:00.002+02:00

It was Saturday night. We came at 23.45 to church. It was drizzling all around Cyprus that night.. the weather changed, so this week is a bit cooler (around 20C) and I have sore throat.

It was the last minutes before all lights were turned off, before the culmination as everybody was waiting for the miracle, for the light to come to the world. And then suddenly it becomes light candle by candle, people pass the flame of the candle to candle. Its the experience of fellowship and sharing the gift from God between all people of church. For some people the flame seems so precious. People take it home and keep it for more burning at home. After short service of Light, Everybody greets each other with "Christ is risen" and almost all people leave church. The fun part is over, but not for everybody. 3hour long service has started. This service is very important for those who have fasted for 50days, who were waiting for this night, who dedicated something of their life to Resurrection of Jesus. In the end there is communion and people leave to have a meal with eggs, egg - lemon soup, chicken, flaunas or any other food.. Happy time!

This quote i read in one of the blogs and the description is pretty exact:

"I can't really describe the fullness of what happens during Orthodox Holy Week. Each service takes at least an hour and a half, and many of them are 2-3 hours long. It's exhausting. It almost kills us, but it is glorious!"

Went to bed at 6am. Early morning, but great feeling of accomplishment. I did IT and i know how it is to do IT!
Please note that i fasted on certain food items for the first time in my life. There were moments when I have to admit it loud to other people, which seemed weird , but it was good to know that I can admit that am doing something not just for fun, but something greater to expect. Great exercise for discipline.

The celebration of Christ's resurrection is being celebrated now in Cyprus. I could say that i have never felt Easter miracle and the power of God as I have experienced this time in Greek Orthodox church.
Actually I should be sleeping now, as we will go to church at about midnight as the Holy light will come, the resurrected Jesus will bring the light to the people. Service will probably last till 3am. Lord, give me strength!
In Orthodox church most of the activities take place early in the morning or late at night..
Like this morning, when there was resurrection service.. the church was packed at 7am. during the service people were banging the chairs and making real noise, to recall the earthquake the natural disturbances in air, as Jesus was raised from dead. No other church recalls the resurrection so lively and for real. The priest threw flowers in the air and the icon or resurrection was carried around. it happened, indeed happened! He did it!

Which Sex and the City Character Are You?
	You are part Carrie. You know what you want out of a relationship and you're not afraid to keep moving until you get it. Wit and charm are your biggest turn-ons, and you like guys who appreciate you for your mind as much as your body. You have fun playing the dating game, but secretly you just can't wait to find the guy who sweeps you off your feet and carries you into the sunset.
	You are part Charlotte. Fairytales were made for you. You've had your share of heartbreak, but that doesn't stop you from opening your heart to others and searching for your happily-ever-after. To some, you may appear naive and your romantic ideals far-fetched, but you know that someday, your Prince will come.

Yes, I have to get back to blogging and update information on behalf of me.

One big + for my every day life is "back to sports!" I started to go to gym again, but not so much weight lifting, rather than body pump, step.. Something new and fresh and not boring for a while. I look forward for those afternoons when after work will go straight to beach for a swim... That will happen after couple of months..

Now about not the perfect stuff. This is for girls who expect life to be perfect without any troubles. Who dream that rich guy will come and take them away, will fall in love till ears and give their life to them.
Not always your boyfriend will have Jaguar, sometimes he will have just a bike or not even that.
Not always your boyfriend will be free as bird, without commitments and only you in his mind.
Not always he will spend 24/7 time with you.
Not aways he will agree with everything you say or do.

Cute Picture Test

to the Other Side..

2008-03-30T20:41:00.004+02:00

Today was excellent, not because i went to other side, but because I spent it with interesting and nice person - Etelka. Some bits in the other side are so disgusting, this army regime. How should person feel to see line of tanks passing by? I suppose very safe. I was disgusted.. isn't it enough. There are no winners in war, no matter how good armor you have.. just Loosers.

We visited the best ruins of cathedrals in Famagusta. Also Nestorian church.. Got a glimpse of the Ghost city and the destruction that was brought to this country. It's sad.

As I sad it was all about enjoying the day and doing it together with somebody, not the enjoying "the great view" of ugliness.
There are some pics what i took wit my mobile on Flickr.

Another important ingredient affecting the survival of people in Latvia includes dangerous life-styles and substance abuse. Alcohol consumption rose from an average per capita rate of 1.9 liters per year in the 1920-34 period to 11.7 liters per year in 1985. This sixfold increase in alcohol consumption has had deleterious effects in many other areas of life and health and is one of the main causes of traffic deaths, drownings, fires, and crime.

Most Latvian males are inveterate smokers. A study of six cities in the mid-1980s discovered that 63 percent of men were active smokers, 13 percent had quit, and only 24 percent had never smoked. Smoking takes a particularly heavy toll in Latvia because the allowable tar content in cigarettes is high (three times as great as in Finland), most of the cheaper brands do not have a filter, and most men prefer to inhale deeply. There is a high incidence of illnesses related to smoking and environmental pollution, such as emphysema, lung cancer, bronchial asthma, and bronchitis."

Start of the Greek War of Independence), when loud and noisy drum parade woke me up at the window at 7am. Cyprus is very generous with celebrations. Let's celebrate other countryš Independence day!! What a.. It's a holiday!!!

Evening Walk

2008-03-24T21:41:00.004+02:00

Just went for a walk through and around the Old town of Nicosia. Actually, there is nothing that would catch my eye and i would stand for pleasure of my eyes. Some places are even scary, makes the inner side of me to say"Now turn around and never come back to this place. creepyyyyy" Why, why the city has become like that? Poverty, immigrants. They say they will open the Ledra street very soon. I want to see then the situation is in this God's left behind country. What shit can come from Turkey? the answer is All kinds! I don't wanna mention, but it smells bad..

Please mention some other ugly places u have been?!

Latvian language

2008-03-23T16:19:00.002+02:00

Today's featured article on Wikipedia is about freedom Monument in Riga, Latvia

So I thought will give you lesson about Latvian language:

Latvian language (Latvian: latviešu valoda), is the official state language of Latvia. Alternative names include Lettish and Lettisch. There are about 1.39 million native Latvian speakers in Latvia and about 150,000 abroad. The Latvian language has a relatively large number of non-native speakers, atypical for a small language. Because of language policy in Latvia approximately 60% of the 900,000 ethnic-minority population of Latvia speak Latvian. The use of the Latvian language in various areas of the social life in Latvia is increasing.^[2]

Latvian is a Baltic language, closely related to Lithuanian. They are somewhat mutually intelligible.

Latvian first appeared in Western print in the mid-16th century with the reproduction of the Lord's Prayer in Latvian in Sebastian Munter's Cosmographia Universalis, in Roman script. Prior to this westernization, earlier Latvian was written in runic characters.

Easter in West

2008-03-23T09:35:00.004+02:00

Greetings to everybody who celebrates Easter today! He is risen! Risen indeed!! Rejoice!

Isn't that amazing, he did not stay in tomb but Almighty God rose him from death.. Nobody else can do that.
I am kinda not celebrating West Easter. In Cyprus there are no special things today, its just an ordinary day. The decorations of rabbits and stuff like that are all around, i haven't had a one chocolate egg or nothing. very weird feeling, feeling that the best is just to come, so am waiting. Waiting the lent to be over, waiting for church bells and all the ceremonies around. Cyprus is more Mid East country than western.. So If i would now not know i would not know. I look forward for Orthodox Easter, when everybody knows. Its celebrated in totally different way, a lot of symbols, a lot of church, a lot of church activities. Apparently in orthodox church the black veils from icons are being taken away and people make noise with the sitting part of wooden chairs.
Let's make some noise! Christ is risen!! :) It is worth to see and feel the great victory of Christ.

How (un)comfortable can be suspenders? Looks like its perfect weather (20C) for wearing those.
[it was ok, comfortable and sexy feeling]

Tomorrow is Monday, not a holiday as all around Europe. But instead will celebrate some Greek fest on Tuesday.I love holidays, i love holidays when It has been fun and i have done something that i could not do on any other working day!

13:45 Nicosia, Cyprus 26C.

Old harbor

2008-03-22T22:06:00.006+02:00

Weather: Nicosia, 18 C, Full Moon

Just to catch up on today's events. I am pleased to have some quality/fun time within relationships to cover up the jealousy feeling that arouses in me every time I have to share the person with several jobs, other people and just time.
Somebody said that taking away these feelings of jealousy and other selfish consequences, helps to have better relationships with God and with other people. I have to find the a method how to complete it successfully.

Today we went to Limassol. I asked Savas to show me the his childhood paths and places where he used to play when he was small and came to Cyprus for holidays. Houses and places look different, but some of the people are still there, memories are there. Old harbor is full of old boats that should be reconstructed, feeling that you are back in time. At least something that you don't see on Macario's Street.
We stopped at the beach with waves I have never seen in Cyprus. Big and jacuzzi style, just wanna get in and feel the pleasure of massage in the power of water moves. We picked lovely stones and shells..
In addition for the sake of toilet had a lovely experience of biscolatto floshake in Flocaffe. :)

Should you accept partner of friend that you don't think is right person for him/her?

Dilemma on Clean/Green Monday

2008-03-10T18:05:00.004+02:00

Today we made peace between us and we took our friends with us to beach, out of town of Nicosia. We were no different than other people in whole Cyprus. Everybody was going to some greenland, as today starts Orthodox Lent time. No meet, no milk no nothing, just being real hard on yourself. That`s one of the things in this country is great, that the Fasting is really ok, people accept that and they know that it is there, so it is ok in shop or pizzeria ask for fasting dishes. That kind of thing you will never get in non-orthodox country.
So we went to the beach, played games, had some food, chilled and talked.
Talking was the hardest part. Talking was facing the deepest fears and doubts, talking was listening to other opinion, talking made me very thoughtful, sad, depressed, hopeful, quiet, reserved, confused, with responsibility to make decision, the difficult and right decision.

Now the Green Dilemma is revealed, I have to face and solve it, I have to understand it, i have to accept it or deny it, i have to work on it. Time:40 days.

The Most High God is my strength and my hope and my peace. Amen

Do you have any suggestions or comments for processing BIG Dilemmas in Your Life?

Don't ask Rwandan person which tribe he is from. You can insult him like that. The pain is deep. Like it is there, it is here in Cyprus, it is all around the world. People decide to destroy each other with no F****** reason.

Lovely song. Makes me fall in love with Africa. My favorite movies are - Hotel Rwanda, Blood Diamond

To do Nothing and Something

2008-03-04T21:14:00.003+02:00

I started week with new features for my blog, very exciting! :) Am having chatbox, daily verse from Bible, visitor counter, different links.

Today at work our computer system broke, so in the times when there is nothing to do, it is very hard to do actually something. so I found my way.

Then went to gym, I am totally not fan anymore of this activity, and that makes me sad.. I was there and i was not the way i was when i started.. (you can read some previous posts.. i was total fan of sweating, running, weight lifting). Nowadays i don't feel so energetic, motivated. not good, not at all.. Maybe i need to spice up my life with something else.

Am spicing up the dinner at the moment, I hope he will enjoy it.
