CIAO ELI, CIAO ALFIO

Ieri sera serata tranquilla al Niki, tra una partita a scopa e tante risate...ki raccontava del suo sabato un po' confuso (ki non si ricordava proprio niente), ki pensava alle interrogazioni di diritto della settimana, ki era già a Malta o a Barcellona con la testa, ki si rassegnava all'idea di una nuova settimana di lavoro da cominciare....
Ma l'argomento principale ovviamente è stato il Niki.....qualcuno diceva "SIAMO PROPRIO A CASA NOSTRA QUI...." e infatti quando entriamo da soli, a gruppetti, o in grosse compagnie la sensazione è davvero quella di essere a casa...purtroppo qualcosa cambierà....infatti da stasera il Niki chiude per dieci giorni e quando riaprirà avrà nuova gente a dirigerlo.....
Nuova, sarà il fratello di Elisa con una o due ragazze come bariste....chissà come sarà la gestione nuova...in questi due anni e mezzo Elisa e Alfio hanno creato un bel clima, dei buoni rapporti con noi (Semoghini soprattutto, con qualche eccezione...) tornei di calcetto, calcio vero, biliardo, freccette, karaoke, cene....tanti momenti...tante risate e a volte tanti brindisi!!!!!!!!!!
Speriamo abbiano fortuna nel nuovo bar vicino ad Albosaggia e ke la nuova gestione non ci faccia rimpiangere quella vecchia......poi sicuramente un giro a prendere il sole giù a sondrio lo faremo prima o poi....se non scorrazzate dai boys ci avventureremo noi con le nostre macchinine....ke la strada va poi dritta, no???!!!!
Grazie di cuore per questi due anni ragazzi, a presto...

LA PAOLETTA


Così la chiamo io, anke se a lei non piace molto.........Si può dire ke sia come la mia sorella piccolina (di età....e basta!!!) dai tempi delle elementari fino a oggi son stati proprio tanti i momenti passati insieme...belli, ma anke brutti...litigate e lacrime hanno fatto compagnia a risate e ciacole ke in tutti questi anni ci son state....Stare ad Arnoga per tutta l estate per 15 anni ci ha legate tanto e la passione per il ballo, la musica, le chiacchiere, le pazzie, LA VOGLIA DI SOGNARE ci hanno rese quasi sorelle....
A volte ci son stati momenti in cui io o lei ci siamo staccate...ma poi in un modo nell altro siamo sempre tornate indietro....
Il giorno ke son tornata da Dublino a giugno ha fatto la via Viola di corsa per venire a casa ad abbracciarmi (e ditemi se non è un fatto eccezionale questo!!!!) mi ha accompagnata a ottobre con Sonya e la Simo e si è innamorata della città dove son stata così bene...
E' la mia sorellina minore...e non si può fare a meno di una sorella, vero????!!!!
Cosi anke oggi pome ci siam fatte un giretto prima ad Arnoga e poi a Bormio con la mia Carolina...bella musica nelle orecchie e tanta voglia di confidarci come vanno le cose.....
I'M MOVING ON...AND U SHOULD DO JUST THE SAME.....

PHOTOGRAPH

I miss that town I miss the faces
You can't erase You can't replace it
I miss it now I can't believe it
So hard to stay Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...

AMICI MIEI...SEMPRE PRONTI A DAR LA MANO....

Ieri sera sebbene stanca ho pensato di aggiornarmi sulle novità del paesello e di aggiornare due delle mie più care amiche sulla mia vacanza....
Prima con la mitica Smart da Davide con la Maru....fuori faceva freddino, cosi ci siamo fiondate davanti al caminetto finke non ci sembrava di cuocere.....un caffettino e un succo e tante tante ciacole....
Essere positivi è il motto ke ho adesso........e finkè riesco cerco di influenzare gli altri con il mio stato d'animo...quindi Maru se ti viene un attimo di negatività chiamami e corro con il mio secchio di pittura e ti ripitturo di azzurro il cielo ok?!!!!!!!!!!e varda ke non ho neanke bisogno di prendere il brevetto dal Patonzo!!!!!!!!
Verso le nove e mezzo mi sono fermata al niki....ke bello rivedere delle facce familiari....e trovarsi in un posto ke ormai è la nostra seconda casa-.....la Francy mi è letteralmente saltata in braccio....abbiamo parlato di tutto....e cosi lei come la maru son d'accordo con me ke ho fatto bene ad andare e a chiarirmi le idee......
Poi con la Sere e Katia, la Ila e Evelyn, quattro risate in compagnia prima di andare a letto ke ormai era mezzanotte passata.........INUTILE DIRE KE ERO PIU' STANCA DI IERI MATTINA!!

BACK AT WORK

mmm...forse ora ke son tornata meglio tornare alla versione italiana, anke se mi sono divertita non poco con l inglese...chissà quanti errori ho fatto..devee si sarà chiesto se sono pazza o meno...
Bè, ke dire, dopo il viaggio di ieri sera con i parents ecco ke son già attiva in ufficio...non vi posso nemmeno descrivere quanta roba avevo sulla scrivania...era davvero tanto ke riuscissi a trovare un posticino per il telefono!
Inutile dire ke mi sono immersa nel lavoro come un pesce nell'acqua....
E IO SPERIAMO KE ME LA CAVO...
dopo le 4 ore della mattina nelle quali dalla mia faccia i clienti potevano capire quanto fossi stanca, (si è vero ke son stata in vacanza, ma come ho detto a mia mamma stamattina, avrei dormito volentieri un giorno intero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) io e la Genni per aggiornarci per bene su questi dieci giorni ci siam fatte la pausa pranzo insieme con la pizza del Magday e il panino della mia mami..Un buon caffè e i biscotti direttamente da Dublino e poi di nuovo al lavoro....
Ed ecco ke fino a settembre le giornate saranno cosi, se non peggio.....
UFFFFIIIIIIIIIII VOGLIO ANDARE IN VACANZA PER UNA VITA........(chiederò ad Irene Grandi qualche consiglio in proposito.......)

KAVI....I WILL MISS U SO MUCH.....


For the fifth time I left again.....
And this time it was a bit more difficult then the others...these 10 days have been like an holiday...from work, problems, from everything i was thiking about...and at the same time was the only thing i could do to understand....me, you, us...what we were doing, where we were going...
now things are a bit easier, even if hurts to think that i have to move on...well we have to...the both of us...but i know we will get better...working...trying not to think....and also that we will never forget these 18 months...thanks for all u have done for me...
with u i grew up...i got my indipendence...and a wonderful experience...that i will never live again...
hope for u all the best....maybe one day we will meet again....
TAKE CARE KAVI...I WILL REALLY MISS U.......

GOODBYE DUBLIN


Once again I have to say goodbye.....
But this city will be always in my hearth....a "little" place to call home for one year....
People, places, moments...
If anyone knows a place where i can find a piece of hearth to fix mine, just let me know where it is...
Cause in this city i left a piece of me.....and it will always be in this way.....
Nobody will take the place of the life i had here....
THANKS DUBLIN.....
HOPE ONE DAY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.......

STEP UP 2 - THE STREETS



Well once again me and kavi went to Cineworld in Parnell st and even if we were a bit late we booked two tickets for Step Up 2 - The streets.....
Kavi would have liked watching 10.0000 BC but I finally got to watch the one i wanted....
It was quite good.....Step up, the first, was good, but this one it s simple magic, fantastic.....A movie that i ll surely watch againg...
People dancing, in any way, in any mood...People from different streets, different way to live, to be, to think, different cultures...but one only passion: dancing...
Because: It's not where you're from. It's where you're at
These sentences it s perfect....and sometimes just not considered......

HAPPY EASTER

Once again I m in Dublin for Easter....and the weather it s bad....normal thing........but at least in Italy it s not better: Simo wrote me and told me it was snowing....well, we didnt have snow for Christmas, so it s fine having it for Easter!!!!!!!!!!
Me and Kavi we stay home, just relaxing meanwhile Van and Decean were at work ...I got a phone call from Gaby and we chatted a bit....It s so strange think that it s almost one year I don t see him....maybe one day he will come in Italy...he told me he has some relatives to see....we will manage to meet....surely we will do!!!!!
In the evening we went out looking for a good place for dinner......
We went in the city center at 19:45 and walk walk walk and still walk..........after a very big round in the city we finally found the Sufi's restaurant.......very quite but good.
Kavi ordered a pizza with aubergine and i took a Bino Rice (Persian dish with rice, lamb a strange sauce....) A good glass of white wine and for dessert I tryed the Tiramisu....
After that we went to see one of Kavi's friend in Odeon, the restaurant where kavi works....there was a Brazilian party so we just join all the people having fun............
I even got to see Kavi dancing after a very long time....
In the way home the lucky guy found a Sony Ericson Mobile in the street...........
Just in Ireland can happen a thing like that!!!!!!!!!!

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE....

I came in Dublin and one of my goal was to find the right dress for Simo's wedding.....well i was pretty sure it would have been quite simple....I WAS WRONG...

I dont really know how many shop i visited.......some too elegant, some too expensive, some too sportive, some too simple, some crazy....I was a bit sad about that, and disappointed too....Even my favourite, Pennyse, didnt help.. Finally I ended up going in a-ware and found two pair of trousers i liked....i ll see what to put over.....every week passes, it s one week less to the wedding...im really excited about that and a bit worried too........will I be a good bridesmaid????????? I really hope so....By now, at least i have just to thing about the gift........................BIG BIG ISSUE........ISN'T IT????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BANK JOB




In the afternoon I waited for Kavi finishing work, then we took the Luas and went to Dundrum......in the commercial center over there one of Kavi's friend works in the cinema and he invited us to watch a movie....
He suggested us THE BANK JOB....movie in which blackmail, power, control and money are the central things.... A bit difficult for me follow every conversation, but in movies without subtitles it s normal not to understand all.....Very good and surprising the end!!!!!!!
In wikipedia I found about it:

"The Bank Job is a 2008 crime film based on a 1971 true-life robbery of a bank in Baker Street, London, from which the money and valuables stolen were never recovered. The story was prevented from being told because of a D-Notice government gagging order, allegedly to protect a prominent member of the British Royal Family. According to the producers, this movie is intended to reveal the truth for the first time, although it includes significant elements of fiction and the extent to which it represents historical fact is difficult to determine."

It s new movie, just released in UK at the end of February, so I will have to wait a bit to watch it in Italy, but i really want to, so i can understand all the thing i miss here!!!!!!!!!!
After the movie we ate something in PIZZA HUT, inside the shop....the first pizza i eat here that looks like an italian one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Very good!!!!!!!!!

DUBLIN CASTLE


Finally I visited the Dublin Castle..........I tryed to go seeing it on Tuesday but u can just enter in a guided visit and till 4 o'clock it was all booked....

So this morning i woke up early, I watch some photos on tv with Van and Decean about their family in Mauritius and then I went in the city center...

The Dublin Castle it s just five minutes walking near Temple bar, just close to Christ Church......I booked the ticket and waited till 12....

The guide was kind and nice, a very good Irish guy!!!!!!!

I think that if i would have gone to visit the castle last year probably I wouldn t understand what the guide was speaking about....he spoke very fast, bt at least i understood the concept and something more..........

Took some pictures too, and enjoyed the dublin Castle apartements....


Any question about it????????? there s the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Castle

CHESTER BEATTY LIBRARY


As I couldnt visit the Castle, today i decided to go to the Chester Beatty Library.

It s just on the grounds of Dublin Castle and was opened in 2000, even if was established in 1950... Inside u can find the collections of mr Alfred Chester Beatty: Sacred and Artistic Traditions. Because of works in progress the Artistic collection was closed, so i just gave a look to the Sacred one....

There were so many things about religions across the world that i took almost two hours to read and see all...........Interesting!!!!!!!

After that I just walk a bit and reach Kevin and Camdem st, gave a quick look in my favourite bargain shops, stop a bit in S Stephen Green park and went home for a quite evening in......

S PATRICK'S DAY - DAY FOR FOOLS!!!!!!!



So, another S Patrick's day in Dublin has gone..........

Today I woke up a bit earlier then one year ago....but i didnt consider i had to wait for kavi to get ready (since when it s the woman waiting for the boy get ready?????!!!!Am i living in a new world???????)

We finally went out at 12:20.....it s useless to say that the streets were already overcrowded..... after walking walking and walking looking for a good place through all the people, we eventually ended up to stop in front of the Abbey School.....hoping nobodyelse could decide to stop just in front of us....

The show was really exciting...and interesting too....a lot of people took part the parade....from the council major to a man dressed like a priest (with a pint of guinness in his hand....:-))

A lot of colours and wonderful mask...last year the thyme was the fantasy, this one was animals...(well I supposed...)

Lucky us the weather was good, even if after 3 o'clock it started being a bit cold....Kavi and I just walked around looking for a place to eat...well everywhere was really full, no place to stop and seat....people and people in every street, with green cap or Irish flag on....so we decided just to buy something and to go home....

and at home we watch all the parade again on tv...this time in a confortable way: seated on the sofa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S PATRICK'S DAY IN DUBLIN IT S REALLY A CRAZY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then we went to St Patrick's Festival in Marrion Square....A lunapark with a lot of people playing, some cultural shows, children games (most of them were just wood old games...but they were funny!!!!!!!), free hotdogs, baloons everywhere in the sky.....if we will get the time tomorrow we will go on the wheel....hoping Kavi wont be afraid of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then in O'Connelly st with all the people...shopping and looking at the windows.....everywhere its green (FOR ANDREA: THE RIVER IT S STILL BROWN: IT S DIRTY, BUT THEY DIDNT PUT ANYTHING GREEN!!!!!!!!!A Burger King stop, then a short walking and I went to the church in the city center....I really like this kind of masse....it s simple, I undersood almost all, even if it s almosto 9 months i dont follow one of this masse, and i really like the singers too.....
At home i just used internet a bit....first looking for some Indian movies for Kavi, then to upload my blog....Van invite me and Kavi to a Mauritian party but after the day out (with boots on, my back its killing me!!!!!!!!!)i think i ll go to sleep.................Speak tomorrow.....Good night everybody......
