Christmas tree

By -



Well, this Christmas knocks at the door. I want so much to have a Christmas tree in my home! A small one! I know a shop close to my house, there are many Christmas trees in there, I saw a lot last week. I dress up fast and walk there. But surprise! The shop is closed! Great! This is the way they want to make money, huh! I am sure they have one more in there for me. Let’s try another shop: nothing opened around. It’s 6 o’clock. Maybe Tesco? Still open, but the Christmas trees are sold out. Perfect!!! I go to speak with a person from customer service.
-          Please, is there any chance to find a tree, even broken in the store? Maybe a lost one…somewhere in the shop…
So, they searched for me 20 minutes, but didn’t find anything. In the end, I took some Christmas tree branches from the flower store. On my way back I received a lot of text messages: Why didn’t u buy earlier the tree? How come that you still want a Christmas tree at this age – I thought you are a mature girl now! And so on. Only critics! In my mind I was thinking: Oh my God, all of you are so stupid! And I searched for my student oyster card to take the tube. In the train I want to sit and try to keep my branches close to me and not disturb anybody.
-Prepared for Christmas already, huh? A voice near to me started. I said a big YES, happy especially because I have a Christmas Tree, actually some Christmas branches or whatever it is.
Next to me was sitting a 45-50 years old man, with his red, wrinkled face, half bold and brown eyes. He told me that he is visiting London for one day only, coming from Colorado, USA with his 16 years old son. The next day they planned to go to Spain and spend two weeks holiday there. 
-My girlfriend will come too! He continued. She is coming from Russia.
- Is she a Russian girl? I asked.
-Yes, she is.
- She must be very beautiful, Russian women are so pretty, I stated.
-Yes, she is. She has a great soul. I suggests her to go for a master in Colorado and us spend more time together.
- What, is she a student???? How old is she?
-20.
I was so amazed and couldn’t resist not to tell him:
-          But she is like your daughter. She is good for your son, not for you.
And he told me that love doesn’t have age and he doesn’t care what people say about their relationship as long as they care about each other. He told me that the mother of the girl doesn’t agree with the relationship at all. I would not agree as well. Anyway, when she will love for real, she will let him go for a younger guy, even maybe she will not go to Spain with him for holidays, hehe. STOP judging Victoria! Oh….he is right, love doesn’t have age indeed! Doesn’t have  sex either; or colour. I believe that. I will write a post about love and what I believe in soon. I must to.



Home, I arrange my ‘tree’ beautifully and run fast at cinema. After cinema we shared some Christmas presents, drank some coffee in the coffee shop, talked a lot……  and because it was the last movie in the night, got locked in the cinema. Well, this is good – I can eat some peanuts in chocolate for free – which I did actually, till somebody came to open for us. After cinema, we were searching for a place to eat. But everything was booked, so the only available place was a fish and chips restaurant. So I was eating fish and salad for the first time in my life as a Christmas dinner, hahaha! After this, no tube was working and no taxi available, so I was walking home. Nice walk, I’ve got lost so many times, hehehe and I have arrived home very fast somehow.


 Let’s listen some carols! Romanian carols! Usually, I sing carols in Christmas Eve with my sister and sometimes my mother. So niceee!! Why it is so difficult to sing now?? I feel like my voice is not working at all for singing. Did I loose my voice?? I want to sing!! So…this is what I did all night! Singing practice! Hmm…my voice must changed a little. I can’t recognize it. Is is my voice???
I need to sing again.

I remember when at a singing competition, on a stage, I didn’t have the courage to sing even a single note. And after the melody finished, I said thank you and left the stage. People would applauded me for nothing. I think they found it funny to see a small girl shutting up in the middle of a big stage. Yes, I want to sing again!

Hakkari, Turkey

      If I would not get the opportunity to see Hakkari through an Youth in Action project, I probably would have never visit ed this blessed town, settled in the middle of the mountains. Hakkari is a place situated in the South East corner of Turkey, close to the border with Iraq and Iran.   It is composed of a Kurdish and Assyrian population and has approximately 57,844 people.     The history of this place takes your breath away. It was a refuge for the persecuted Christian Assyrians who ran away   in   the mountains to protect themselves against the Timurlane occupation (Turko-Mongolian   emir) in the 14 th century. Then in the 19 th century, they   were conquered by the Kurdish people and were turned into slaves or executed. There were also many conflicts between the Kurdish population an d the O t toman (later, Turkish) control. Hakkari was considered and it is still seen as an unsafe p...

Bitola. It's all about history here

Thanks to Youth in Action programme again, I came across an old, historical, Macedonian city called Bitola. Situated in the S-W part of Macedonia, Bitola settles at the foot of Baba Mountain and it is crossed by the Dragon River.   The place represents an important junction between the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea and Central Europe. You would never guess, but this city has an impressive history.     It was founded as Heraclea Lyncestis (City of Hercules upon the Land of the Lynx) in the middle of the 4th century BC by Philip II of Macedon and it was an important settlement from the Hellenistic period until the early Middle Ages. Then, the Romans conquered this part of Macedon in 148 BC and destroyed the political power of the city. Still, the city remained prosperous because of the Via Egnatia Roman road which passed by the city. In the early Byzantine period (4th to 6th centuries AD) Heraclea was an important episcopal centre and bishops l...

The MARRIAGE in Saudi Arabia

Strange or not, the marriage in Saudi Arabia is a beautiful story. I know that “someone” in there regrets that it told me this, but now I know it and   I will tell it to everyone, hehehehe J Definitely, when it is about marriage, the men needs to decide he wants to marry. And from that time he starts to look forward to pick up a girl. Well, most of the women in Saudi keep their face hidden from age of 12-14 th ..and for the poor Saudi young men will be so difficult to choose someone. The easier way is to go for a girl from the family (a cousin for example). Yes, it is true, you can marry with your cousin!:)   Eh, when you have decided that she is the one, you need to go and “negociate” with the girl’s family. And you need to pay at least 40 000 Riyals (this is the limit, but some people paid more than 100 000 Riyals) for the bride’s family. With this money, the family will take care of the wedding and other stuffs. After this, the future groom will offer to the ...
