You Belong in New York City
 

You’re the energetic, ambitious type.
And only NYC is fast enough for you.
Maybe you’ll set yourself up with a killer career
Or simply take in all the city has to offer.

Groovyyyy baby!! I so rule :P

This post is for people who have no feelings, receive no feelings back when they offer theirs and for the ones who receive them.

Which category you’d say you fit in? I think I’m a mix of them all depending on the day I feel/not feel/receive without giving/ not receive though give. Today I have a no feeling day. I feel absolutely numb and the only thing that took me through the day was the fact that I know with certainty that when I leave work a rich in lemon whiskey cola awaits me in one of my fav. pubs which I will not name ’cause they already have too many clients which so piss me off sometimes. How can they not think of the people around them?? Sometimes I go there in order to spend some quitet cozy time with my friends, having a drink, chit-chatting around, but quiet enough to not make ourselves known by the entire f&*ing bar! But no, they keep on and on with their yelling extremely loud laughter, turning the musics’ volume so high that it is almost unbearable (they are friends with the bartender and he allowes them to change the music or turn the volume up or down). How sick is that?? And yet again I sometimes go there with such a crave for living and fun and every single person in there is either bored or sad or with something on their minds! Wouldn’t it be perfect if you went in a pub and the entire personell and clientage fit your mood or at least respect the way you feel?? Yeah.. I know.. these are simple, childish thoughts that would come true only in a perfect world. If I think of it more I wouldn’d like that because it would backfire (so’to speak) on me. Then I’d have to do the same for others too.. nahh! I’m too much of a selfish person to be able to do so.

You know, one day a person told me that I’m one of the best, warm hearted and altruist person it met(I’m using the neutral because I don’t want y’all to know the gender of the person >:) ]. I then asked that person if they were sure that they’re talking about me. They said yes…  Is that not a paradox? Here I stand, in front of this computer with a picture of a mini pig on the desktop, thinking “yeah right! sure I am all that!”. I wonder,  if I asked a person who never said anything of that kind to me, if I asked his/her opinion regarding that side of me, what would he/she say??? Would it (she/he) say that yes, they consider me that way or would they say just as I said “yeah right!” What kind of impression do we give other people by acting the way we are, doing the things we do? I do have profound feelings (even love)  for the person who told such nice things about me and I miss it very very much! I wish all the circumstances I have been through would not have affected the way I am now. I used to be that person! I used to be kind and warm hearted and put other people’s wellness above anything. I was happy if they were. What happened??? Where did that little Alina go? Is it really all over? All the feelings I used to have.. have they all gone and instead of them remained emptiness and selfish feelings that now rule and reason my world, my life, my whole existence?

Well, of course not. There still are some reminiscences. Sometimes those states of being come out and roar louder that all the selfishness that took over me, that invaded my heart and mind.

Oh, but please give me the benefit of the doubt! I am not that rotten! My heart still has pure, warm feelings which can still be torn and stepped on by YOU! YOU, evil and selfish people that think only of their wellbeing!

Here’s what I give you all (with all my altruist heart) : SCREW YOU ALL! ALL OF YOU, and when I say I mean ( :P ) ALLLLLLLLLL, I promise to not forget either one of y’all!

Tea shops.. tea houses.. Tea my favorite drink!

Posted in kewl stuff on February 5, 2008 by gargalina
              In by belief tea is one of the most healthy drinks still available in it’s natural state (not for long I suppose) in our so technologic and polluted world. I would always rather drink a tea than have a Coke or hot chocolate (which I’m not very fond of anyway :P   – I mean the chocolate of course; I do however love Coke).
           The best teas ever are the exotic ones, my favorites being 1001 Nights, China Jasmin Superior, Rooibos (with vanilla or plain) and of course the simple green tea which I indulge with brown sugar (it gives it a special taste).
Just in case you are curious below are some details regarding my fav.:
  • 1001 Nights: From exotic Eastern Lands comes 1001 Nights, a mystical blend of pure, high mountain-grown tea from Ceylon and fragrant flowers & fruit flavors that is sure to bring countless nights of romance and intrigue.This masterful blending of our premium green & black teas is caressed with the cut blossoms of roses, orange blossoms, & sun flowers, then bathed in the sweet liquor of red, ripe strawberries. Steeped in tradition & myth, it’s a drink that delivers otherworldly delights. A taste so revered, its name is whispered…1001 Nights. (oh! what a delightful description muahahah!)

  • China Jasmin Superior: Imagine the rich fragrance of tropical jasmine flowers caressing the leaves of our high mountain-grown 100% pure green tea from Ceylon. Better yet, enjoy this healthy, all natural drink today either hot or cold. (Simple and yet so so tasty)
  • Rooibos (with vanilla or plain):In South Africa it is more common to drink rooibos with milk and sugar, but elsewhere it is usually served without. The flavor of rooibos tea is often described as being sweet (without sugar added) and slightly nutty. Preparation of rooibos tea is essentially the same as black tea save that the flavor is improved by longer brewing. The resulting brew is a reddish brown color, explaining why rooibos is sometimes referred to as “red tea”.High antioxidant content and rich in vitamins and minerals. Rooibos Vanilla Tea: Rooibos flavored with authentic Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans. (Now that’s what I call a healthy tea!)

 If the above descriptions are not enough for you why don’t you just google it out :P
