Two faced people

Two faced people are those who have two shades two themselves. They might behave differently in front of you and behind you, they are completely different beings. 
They are supposed to have a split personality. 
Two faced people are never liked by others and people don’t often prefer their company too. Abraham Lincoln had once remarked, “If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?” 

Miss someone?

It is a very disheartening and painful feeling to miss someone. 
You will miss someone only if you have a lot of affection and love on her or him. 
Even one minute will seem to be very long and an hour when you miss someone. 

Being betrayed is a very unpleasant feeling, especially if it's by your love ones


The feeling of being deceived, completely betrayed by someone so close to your clueless heart. 
You tell them everything, all the emotions and ideas in your heart, and well, they dont tell you theirs. 
And that leads to the big mistake. 
The big mistake Im still regretting right now. That is losing trust, and never gaining that trust back again because they carved in a big hole in your soft heart that will never heal.

IA ROMANEASCA-Romanian Peaseant Blouse

Cea mai cunoscuta bluza romaneasca inca este o muza pentru marii designeri din lume, de multe ori fiind folosita ca element principal. Este aproape imposibil de determinat cand a aparut primul tip de camasa, dar se considera ca acest tip de imbracaminte ar fi putut sa fie purtat de populatia apartinand culturii Cucuteni. Este croita in forma de cruce, dintr-o singura bucata de panza si cu o deschizatura in partea de sus. Ia este de fapt o camasa de sarbatoare, confectionata din panza alba,
bumbac, in sau borangic si impodobita cu margele si broderii la maneci si la gat. In jurul gatului este intarita cu un snur rasucit, iar manecile, de cele mai multe ori, sunt incretite la umeri si la incheieturile mainilor. Tehnica decorarii iei s-a transmis de la o generatie la alta. Motivele sunt stilizate, geometrice sau inspirate de natura.
ia romaneasca, este brodata in continuare cu drag de fete si femei. Putini stiu ca o femeie lcreaza 2, 3 saptamani, uneori mult mai mult, pentru a face broderia delicata a unei ii. Acum, cand tot mai multe fete pleaca de la tara, putine mai sunt acelea care mai cos cate o ie pe luna. Si totusi, atat timp cat mai exista romance care iubesc sa coasa ii si transmit mai departe aceasta pasiune, ia rezista trecerii timpului si straluceste in continuare atat in tara cat si in afara ei. Regretam totusi ca, odata cu trecerea timpului, multe modele dispar.
Romanian Peaseant Blouse is called “ie” and is a representative piece of Romanian folklore. Rooted in an idyllic past, Romanian women carry on the tradition of sewing peasant blouses. With a manually worked embroidery, just one blouse can take up to 3 weeks to be made.
Every ie “wears” a particular story, as there are different models to make these blouses, according to Romanian provinces. Cotton and flax are generally used, but floral patterns are customary.

Romanian have a beautiful ancient tradition on the first day of March - Martisor

From the ancient time people were celebrated the coming of spring with long time forgotten rituals. They used small pebbles painted in white and red arranged alternatively on a string. It might be curious why they had chosen these two colors:  red and white. In those times, many magical rituals involved human or animal sacrifices for determining their pagan Gods to listen to their prayers. So blood was associated with life, fertility and worship. On the other hand, the snow, the ice and the clouds were white. In a single expression the meaning of two colors might be : "let's forget about winter and pray our Gods to bring us fertility".

Traditional Indigenous Art


Dot painting consist of various paint colours like yellow (the (desert sand) and white (the clouds and sky). Dot paintings can be painted on anything sun), brown (the soil), red though in aboriginal times they used to paint dot pictures on rocks, caves etc. Mostly indigenous Australians painted nature like animals or lakes and of course the dreamtime. They used to paint stories and legends on caves and rocks to represent their religion.

Happiness without having money?


Our materialistic society has led us to believe that happiness cannot be obtained without having money. Rather than learning to be satisfied with what we have, we are taught to want more. We learn from advertising, and from the media, that we need to buy trinkets and toys in order to make ourselves happy, or to fulfill emotional needs, and that the purchases they are trying to talk us into will provide us with the psychological comfort we are looking for.
Unfortunately, as a society we have bought into these misguided messages and have come to believe that spending money on certain items will bring us fame, fortune, happiness, beauty, or popularity. We end up using money as a crutch to provide us with something we ultimately must find within ourselves. As we become caught up in this charade, we trade precious hours of our lives trying to earn the money we have been taught to covet so much. We trade hours of our lives working, sacrificing time that could have been spent with our families, for the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

Why People Complain?


I think it's natural for people to complain.
Everyday we're faced with a lot of reasons to complain:
we're not tall enough, we don't have the latest and greatest, it's too hot, it's too cold, they get everything handed to them, they shouldn't be doing this they should be doing that, etc.
Having the occasional complaint is fine. To expect a life without complaining (by you or others) is unrealistic.
Why we complain ?

Ways to enjoy your time at work.



I choose to enjoy every day. I wake up early at 5am because I am excited about the day ahead, and throughout the day I try to maintain a positive attitude. Yes, sometimes “shit happens” and I don’t have a good day. But I figure if I at least try to have fun and be happy there is a good chance I will enjoy myself.
What I am particularly interested in is ways to enjoy my time at work. Most people know how to enjoy their leisure time, but many people struggle to imagine being happy at work. If this is you, here are a few quick tips:

Mother


Mother is the personification of love and is the angel sent by god to look after her children. “God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers”.
 A mother showers love on her children forgives their mistakes and stands a pillar of strength, courage, inspiration and solace for them.
She is the bank where all the emotions, sorrows and expectations of the children are deposited.
Mother has a secret code of language with her child and can understand what the child is trying to say, which no one else can.
The word mother can work magic on the ears of the child.
She is not only a friend, philosopher and guide but a god living right in front of the eyes of children and can be reached out easily.
Even those who have escalated to high positions in the society are just a child in front of their mother, irrespective of their age.
The love of mother knows no bounds and hence there is no limit to the number of times a mother forgives her child. Hundreds of sayings and quotes have been said on mother yet they are not boring. 

Life is too short!


Whether we choose to see it or not, our life is too short to worry about small things.
Though some circumstances in our lives at the moment may seem fairly significant, we must realize that the things that are really important are the things that are going to matter in ten to twenty years, or twenty to fifty years.
Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. We have to choose to live our lives in the present and for the future, instead of trying to live in the past.
We must also live our lives doing the things and for the people that we are passionate about. Living a life without passion, and without hope for the future is not really living your life at all. Remember that the next minute, hour, and day are not promised to you, and may be taken from you at any time.
Never let anything or any person stop you from pursuing the things that you are truly passionate about pursuing.

How much is enough money?



How much money would you consider "just enough to cover reasonable living expenses"?Here are a few thoughts for you:There will always be someone else richer. Millionaires envy billionaires.Directors envy producers.You will never be on the top of the heap, so it is more productive to just focus on your career and on your family and not get too caught up in the rat race.Is it became easy to conflate someone else's perceived wealth with the fact that they just blew  every penny they had.

Things That Drive Me Nuts


 There are some things that I could honestly say I despise. I'm a pretty happy clam.  But there are things that get on my nerves and it seems the older I get the more they both me. Perhaps you have your own list, but this is mine: 
1. People who are late - I'm not talking about 5 minutes or once in a while, but people who are routinely late.  No excuse in my opinion. 
2. Loud people -
 some people are just unaware of how loud they are, or they don't care that they are bothering others.  I encounter them on airplanes, in restaurants; even some of my neighbors at the lake are just loud!
