One friend came to Madrid, bringing the air of homeland, yet also with my doubts about some discussion.

"Nowadays it is better to choose a girlfriend when you were both in universities, this way, you knew her completely..."...

Righttttttttttt???????????

I doubted...

Yes, if you know her from the very beginning, you know the "root", the very original version of her, If you both keep dating for years, this will help you "completely understand" her. Oops, do you think you can ever "fully understand" a woman? My 1st doubt :-)

Ok, now you got a fully "trackable" woman with whom you cultivate some security to share your life with. Time goes...then, many times, a "inconvenient truth" is that you got bored with her (maybe not her, yes, boz you think she is a perfect original version of yours), but you definitely got bored with your life, or maybe yourself.

La Noche de Feliz Ano Nuevo 2008

It was a really excited, a little bit stupid yet very pleasant, exhausted night after living in Madrid about 14 months. We are eleven people with 3 persons from Spain, 2 from Finland, 1 from Germany, 2 from Argentina, 2 from Britain, and me. It was really INTERNATIONAL :-)

We had a nice party in guapa Emilia's friend, Taija's apartment, where we tried belly dancing, not very professional though.

Then we went to La Puerta del Sol where Madrilenons usually hold their new year night celebrations, that is, crazy dancing, endless drinking, screaming (trying to gain attention from tons of people packed in the plaza in our case :p), eating 12 grapes...until hardly no one was able to stand still.

Walking slowly arm by arm with friends (thank god we had enough people taking care of each other and not getting lost at that chilly & restless night), my mind was completely awake by the time we reached Taija's friend's apartment with extremely exotic style of decoration, where all of us sat around the table, trying different drinks, joking, laughing...It was quite fun for me as this was my very first time to be with all Spanish-speaking people while not feeling left out at all. Well, a good sign, jaja!

NO WAY!

NATURE!

SIMPLY NO WAY

TO STOP BLOOMING!!!

大宋词人

第一名：姜夔

春渐远，汀洲自绿，更添了、几声啼鴂。谁教岁岁红莲夜，两处沉吟各自知。阅人多矣，谁得似长亭树。树若有情时，不会得青青如此。象笔鸾笺，甚而今、不道秀句。怕平生幽恨，化作沙边烟雨。今何许？凭栏怀古，残柳参差舞。二十四桥仍在，波心荡、冷月无声。念桥边红药，年年知为谁生。长记曾携手处，千树压西湖寒碧。又片片吹尽也，几时见得。

－－－以布衣始，以布衣终，贫不能殡。“只可直中取，不向曲中求”。


春渐远，汀洲自绿，更添了、几声啼鴂。（《琵琶仙/双桨来时》）
马上单衣寒恻恻。看尽鹅黄嫩绿，都是江南旧相识。（《淡黄柳》）
无人与问，但浊酒相呼，疏帘自卷，微月照清饮。《摸鱼儿》
谁教岁岁红莲月，两处沉吟各自知。《鹧鸪天/元夕有所梦》
俊游巷陌，算空有、古木斜晖。旧约扁舟，心事已成非。《江梅引》
但盈盈、泪洒单衣，今夕何夕恨未了。《秋宵吟》


第二名：李煜
　
砌下落梅如雪乱，拂了一身还满。
　　　　小楼昨夜又东风，故国不堪回首月明中。
　　　　千里江山寒色远，芦花深处泊孤舟。笛在月明楼。
　　　　多少恨，昨夜梦魂中。还似旧时游上苑，车如流水马如龙；花月正春风！
　　　　世事漫随流水，算来一梦浮生。醉乡路稳宜频到，此外不堪行。
　　　　金剑已沉埋，壮气蒿莱。晚凉天净月华开。想得玉楼瑶殿影，空照秦淮！
　　　　梦里不知身是客，一晌贪欢。
　　　　独自莫凭栏，无限江山，别时容易见时难。流水落花春去也，天上人间。

-----”雁来音信无凭， 路遥归梦难成“ 唉。。。。。。。。。。。。。

念奴娇(赤壁怀古) ［宋］苏轼

　　大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。故垒西边，人道是、三国周郎赤壁。乱石穿云，
惊涛裂岸，卷起千堆雪。江山如画，一时多少豪杰。　　遥想公瑾当年，小乔初嫁了，雄
姿英发。羽扇纶巾，谈笑间、樯橹灰飞烟灭。故国神游，多情应笑我，早生华发。人间如
梦，一樽还酹江月。　

I think it is really cool!
