I doveote this post to one of Paulo Coelho’s characters called Veronica, who discovered that life is a miracle!

How do you imagine the life? I mean a good life. Do you imagine it to be boring, or do you imagine the wonderful life as somethin exciting? Look at these kids. Aren’t they pretty? Yes they are, because they are enjoying the rain with every part of their body, mind and soul. And what if these were your kids, what would you tell them? “Oh, come here, it’s raining, you can cath a cold, don’t do that!” Why???? Why don’t people say “Oohh, look - It’s raining! Lets go out!” Because they follow rules. All problems people have, come from their own dependance on thousands of rules and norms. You know what has a phylosopher said: “One can best find themselves when they find their own boundaries” If you think deeplier you would probably say this person was quite wise! Do you know who he is - Leopold Fon Zaher Mazoh! Now all the boundaries, fixed norms and prejudices come up to your mind and withouth thinking you say: “What?! Mazoh?!! That’s disgusting, he was mad!” Hmm… And what does it mean to be mad? We all say someone is mad when he looks strange in our eyes. Strange is a synonim of different. Oh, look how far we’ve got! We think that difference is a synonym of craziness! Shame on you!!  :P  I would rather say - “Ne Varietatem Timeamus” (Do not fear the different) Maybe they wouldn’t be so crazy if you try to understand them. There is a difference between crazy and dangerous! How many times you have denied doing something just because it is not normal or unusual for you? Next time when it rains, go out in the street ?(without an umbrella or a raincoat!) and dance in the rain! Do you find it nice? Then why don’t you do that? Because it’s crazy? :)  Why don’t you buy one of those books with drawings that are waiting you to paint them? Oh, of course - that’s for kids, adults don’t paint, unless if their out of their mind ;) Why don’t you throw yourself in the sea with all of your clothes?! You have no idea what fun it is!!! :) You see the sea, the beach, but your swim wear is in the suitcase, together with the sun cream, the towels and everything else. Your parents, or friends decide to go to the quarter, and prepare for the beach. Everything is always planned! But, oh, come on, look at the sea!!! It’s lovely, and it’s telling you to come! But only you can hear it because you’re crazy :P Then you start runing, you don’t listen to your parents(or friends) screaming after you, you just listen to the sea, that is greeting you, and the water. The water is so cold! You just throw yourself in the sea with all of your clothes and GOSH it’s  FANTASTIC! You realise you love being spontaneous, you like the sea, you like it now, not as you have planned when exactly to swim in it. You like swim in it when it calls you! It’s fantastic! :) Try it. Oh, of course, I forgot. Normal people don’t do that! Can you emagine how many moments there are that can make you appreciate life , that can make you find yourself in a harmony with everything, that you ignore just because they are not normal! I have recently read about some teens masturbating in class. Ok, you want to masturbate in class - do it!  :) Usually people put some emotions in their sexual activity and it is intimate, but if you feel you can’t bare the lack of orgasm neither a minute more, then do it! :) Be crazy, feel the moment, but to be free means not to harm the other people,don’t forget that! They believe it is not normal to masturbate in class :P However I suppose it’s a great fun and it’s deffinetely more interesting than some stupid lessons :)  After doing some “crazy” things you will always feel excited! You will always appreciate the moment! That’s the simple moments that show you life is wonderful!  :P And about the crazy people - if you say someone is crazy tha means ONLY that you can’t understand him! You should think about your being in a harmony with the world instead of judging the others! Calling someone crazy means that your world is too small for him. However there are so many things. Do you remember the song “Circle of life?”  - “More to see than can ever be seen, more to find than can ever be found, more to do than can ever be done!” Life is crazy! It loves the moment! Try to accept its crazyness, because those who do that live nice, no matter whether you understand them or not! :)

“WE ARE ALL ANGELS WITH ONLY ONE WING - IF WE HUG WE COULD FLY!”

I devote this post to all girls who believe they love their boyfriend so deeply that they could bare anything, I dovete it to Lyd , with who we have recently discussed the need for surprizes in a relationship, and I also devote it to everyone who loves the film “White Oleander” or the flower appreciators.

How much do we need surprizes in a relationship? Can’t really say? Yeah, sure it’s a difficult question to answer, for it has two possible understandings - do we need bad surprizes or do we need good ones? Then many people would say they’d prefer the good surprizes. However those who are smart and like to use their brain(such as Lyd) would ask - What do you mean? What is a good surprize and what is a bad surprize? How can we differ them? Aren’t they the same - surprizes?!Good questions! Yeah, i agree with you, however I’m one of those who would not be able to answer this question at all! :( I have a tenet not to define what’s good and what’s bad. I have been persuaded in that principle during many many years while watching all kinds of people and situations one could meet. However once I broke that tenet, and that brought me a lot of unpleasant feelings!  I fall in love. You know what’ s the beginning like - flowers and fairy tales, everything’s perfect, a new harmony surrounds your heart, you feel useful and you find sense in everything you do, untill….

until you meet the reality! The reality is full of reasons, and acts followed by their consequenses. You should always be aware of anything, you should always use your brain and never allow the emotions and feelings lead you! The best relationships are based on a whole lot of efforts by the both mates, that’s true! And what about the surprizes? Two days ago, it was after our course, when my ex-boyfriend surprized me in a very unpleasant way. He was on a party, he was drunk, so he gave his mobile phone to some other drunks to shit whith me. However I’m not so blonde! It took me just 15 minutes to find out who are those drunks and who appears to have caused this. I put all of them four in their places and they didnt try to shit with me again! However the surprize was very unpleasant. I didn’t expect my ex-boyfriend to do such a thing, I believed he is a nice friend, I even was starting to sorry that I broke up with him. So such a bad surprize shows how I made a mistake while ignoring one of my own rules! How much do we need such surprizes? Do we need such bad surprizes at all?! And what about the good surprizes - do we need them? Can you generally say we need surprizes? Hmm, some may think I’m speaking like a relativist, but good and bad are always soo close to each other that as soon as you believe you have distinguished them, they replace right at the tmoment! I thought it is different with love, unfortunately it is not! You should accept the strong and the weak points of your mate, because they can mix anytime! Really, ANYTIME! You should be aware and thinking, not led by emotions and feelings. Try to follow this advice, and you’ll see how easier life could be!

I dedicate this post to Vesi, whom I promised to write in my blog today :) Well, Vesi, sorry about the boring post but I don’t know what to write right now, unless that I really really like music :P I’m listening to music all the time, while I’m writing my homeworks, while studying or writing essays, I listen to music while Skype-ing, always at any time :) I prefer Nelly Furtado, Upsyrt and some new songs that are turned on the “City” channel. I wonder why are some people such maniacs about music, and that are almost 80% of all my classmates :P What do u think? And what kind of music do u prefer? :)

No, Nikki still hasn’t turned out to be a person who falls in love very easy  :P  I’m not talking about Venus as godess of love, I mean the planet Venus, and more specially about Astrology! My Ascendant is Libra, and my star sign is Tauros - they are both ruled by Venus. The Ascendant is called “a second star sign” because it is the one that best forms one’s character. You may say that the star sign is more important but the star sign is very much dependable on your Ascendant, because you may be for example Tauros, but there re twelve different kinds of ascendants so no wonder there are twelve diffeerent kinds of Tauros. However this is a more sophisticated topic. Juts consider that the ascendant is an important factor just as the star sign is, becasuse the ascendant is also called arising sign(the moon sign is not so important because it is a descendat, not rising sigg, a descending sign, so it has a small significanse) Perhaps you’ve noticed that you not always look just like others having your star sign, and people that are the same star sign as you may get on well with smbd but you get on very bad with them. This are not bulshits, I personally believe only in pragmatic things but however Astrology seems to be an interesting science! :)  You wonder how to define your ascendant, well take a look

Unfortunately this web site is in Bulgarian so I will just translate the 12 signs into English for those who don’t understand BG! Here is how the signs will occur, just choose yours, and then see the hour of your birth after that you’ll see your ascendant in BG but here there are translated

Aries - Овен

Tauros - Телец

Gemini - Близнаци

Cancer - Рак

Leo - Лъв

Virgo - Дева

Libra - Везни

Scorpio - Скорпион

Sagittarius - Стрелец

Capricorn - Козирог

Aquarius - Водолеи

Pisces - Риби

VERY IMPORTANT - for those who were born in the summer period - remove one hour from the hour of birth, because of the summer hours :)  Did you understand me, i think I didn’t express wel :P

I’ve started to read the book about SAT2: World History and I found out something very interesting about it. The authors of the book want to make you think as a historician. They give you some evidences, and a list of events, you should just choose the correct event according to the evidences. They rely on making you think as a historician. There are also many facts, but a small part of these facts is presented in a lesson, the other thing is analyzing these facts. That is a way to start understanding History, not only learning facts. It is very different from the Bulgarian educational system, where facts are listed one after another and you should just train your memory and nothing more! Some historitians in Bulgaria have made presentations and lectures about historical events(for example about King Kaloyan’s corespondation with Pope Inocentie 3), and after reading them I’ve realized the events are actually not so boring!!! The same event I initially believed aren’t worth studying. So what’s the difference between a sweet hamster and an ugly mouse? - the way each of them is presented!  :P  This book is written in English, which makes it a little more difficult for me to read it, and it is about History(the subject I believed I hate) and still I find it interesting! :)  Geez, this is something like making first steps - very difficult, but very exciting too! :P I hope I succed taking my SAT2:World History exam, or at least learn something about history :P

UK colleges are not the same as the USA colleges. UK colleges are a form of education that is a step foreward than a high-school education. If you want to prepare for a future career in the UK you should rely on a University! Universities in UK are known to prepare their students for their future career very well. Unlike the Liberal Arts Colleges, in a UK Universitie you start preparing for a specific career just from the beginning of your education there. 

  • It is a fact that UK educational system, especially the English one, is known in the world as one of the best!
  • It is a fact that about 93% of students graduated in the UK are able to find a job straight after they graduate(the statistic is from a magazine about studying abroad), which is a bigger number, compared to the Liberal Arts Colleges
  • It is a fact that in teh UK higher education is cheaper, and you can take a loan for your education taxes and a loan for your cost of living. The both loans are united in a one , and they do not demand you to repay the loan untill you graduate and untill you get a sellary over 15,000 Pounds. Then you pay just 9% of your sellary, and if again you ae recieving less than  15,000 the repayment stops untill you fidn a better job. For more information see this  and this
  • Another fact is that the Applyment in a UK college or a university is more difficult, and the SAT exams are not available there, but lately there was a reform about attracting more foreign students :P
  • It is a fact that the best UK universities prepare students for a primary sellary of at least 15,000 Pounds, which is not so much in an expensive country as England, for example, however this is the lowest sellary the best colleges prepare you for getting.
  • It is a fact that UK is not as rich country as the USA, but the cost of living there is also not as higher as in  the USA —>>  See this statistic 
  • There aren’t Liberal Arts Colleges in the UK
  • It is a fact that the UK is a very prospering country too, and their querry is the most expenssive in Europe and in the World, and such a prospering country relies on a specific career education.

The USA and the UK are two different countries, with very different points of view about higher education. Both of them have their weak and strong points. It is just a matter of comparing the lifestyle in these two countries in order to deside which kind of education is better for you. And another fact that should be considered is which country would be more pleasant for you to live in. Quite confusing, isn’t it  :(

What is a Liberal Arts College?

A liberal arts college is a “college or university curriculum aimed at imparting general knowledge and developing general intellectual capacities, in contrast to a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum.”  Liberal Arts Colleges are considered ones that “change life”, for their ability to create thinking people, able to non-stop develop their characters and prosper in everything they find interesting. A liberal Arts College doesn’t prepare students for a specific career at the beginning of one’s education there. Instead, people obtain some skills and habbits that are very useful in searching a job, being a nice worker, and a prospering person. The specific knowledge is taught during the last two years, but their purpose is to involve you into a science branch, not to prepare a genius. The point is that if you’re interested in something, and have the requisite skills to find a job, you would not stop prosper and you would make your life well.

  • It is a fact that “Liberal Arts College” is a form of higher education that is used in the USA.
  • It is a fact that the USA is the Third Richest country in the world. The richest one is Luxemburg with $55,000 GDP, then are both Norway and USA with $37,800 GDP  You can see the statistics here  —>>>   The Richiest Countries In The World
  • It is also a fact that such a prospering country hopefully relies on “Liberal Arts” form of education. 
  • Another fact is that this kind of education in the USA is very expensive and not all students can afford it. Only the best recieve a schollarship, and the richest are able to pay their entire education.
  • One also very important fact is that not all students find a job stright after they graduate a Liberal Arts College.
  • However, another fact is that as you probably know, The USA is called “The country of the many opportunities” :) There are opportunities to work, and take loans(but the loan you take and the money you get from working are still not enough to pay the entire education).

Are Liberal Arts Colleges the best form of education? I don’t know, I have never studied in a one. I just post some facts about them, that are necessary to be considered when making a choice about whether to study in the USA.

This is a very confusing movie, because it cointains many ideas which are not constructed into a plan and presented with a relation between one another - it’s just that some people speak in a chaotic way. However these people are not so stupid, and if you put your mind into their words you can understand one or two ideas, which are actually very interesting…

One of this ideas is that everything in the Universe is related. This has been spoken for many years and many scientists(physicists and others) have been trying to prove that. It is starting to turn into a new religion. Why is everything in the Universe related? , well I’ll try to explain how I myself understand this concept. Everything you think leads to some specific action. Every action you take leads to some specific consequence. This consequence then is turning into a circumstance. When many people create different circumstances, a web of circumstances is created and we live in this web :)

For example You think you are very good at Mathematics. That leads to an action - you start studying that science. Then that leads to a circumstance - you go to an olympiad and beat someone who also believes is good at Maths. Then that leads the consequence - one of the two people either starts to believe he is not good enough and starts to study some other sciense, or he or she motivates and becomes a better matematician. These are two possible ways. So here is how one circumstance brings another two circumstances. Then they bring more and more circumstances after them, which are related and we all live in this web with the ability to ctahnge it. So in short - everything you think, you act, you believe is a part of this web we all live in :) This is how you are related to practically… everything :P

And how can we change this web of circumstances? Well every circumstance brings two or more others with it - you just have to deside which way to go and your desision is a part of this unity of everything :) This is how bad and good thoughts are realised :) Have you heard the saying “Life is just like a mirror - if you smile to it, it will smile to you too” - truly :)
