Thu, 24 May 2007 06:17:09 +0200

Sorry everyone!
i haven't been here for a long time...well...
always quite a lot of stuff to do so..
I was thinking about adding some English sentences to the Italian blog ( and french - in case - for the French friends) so..it would be a bit easier for me....
What do you think??
would you follow me on the Italian blog for a while??
When yes, please let me know, so I'm going to start the project...
See you!

BACK AGAIN!

Sat, 28 Apr 2007 18:31:57 +0200

Hello everyone!
I'm back...after a long time!
Yes, since the middle of April I'm in my house again...
there's no heater yet, no kitchen, no bathroom at the ground floor, but..there's peacefullness!!!

Well, to tell the truth, my dad is still around and it's always more difficult to face him but...trying to escape as fast as possible...

My sisters are not thinking the thing as I am, so we argue between us, and this is not such an happy thing...sometime it seems to me to really be alone in the world, but after, I just pick up the phone, or take the bike, or even more, I leave up my eyes on the pictures of all of you, my friends around the Europe ( all from Taizè apart my host family in ENgland when I was younger) to change my mind...

Still some things to set up, but hope things are going even better...in the next future...
What about all of you??
I have no news from lot's of you...everything ok?
Here it's a strange week end because of the 1st May coming soon with just the monday working day...so..lot's of people have left to go away for a short break...

Outside it's sunny, even a bit cold in the evening, but wonderful weather to ride or to just stay in the garden having a sunbath

Well, just thank you all to be there..see you soon, MONICA12

Missed me?

Sun, 04 Feb 2007 06:53:55 +0100

Well. I'm back...for a while!
I've been busy with an exam and another one is coming in a few days....(French language), with the masons working by me, with my father to be lead in what was to do in the house, with the job, with some sport, and , sometimes…with a nap!

Just a quick note about the last news…exactly the last one…

Friday afternoon I decided to stay at home and help my dad in demolition of a wall so to be ready for the masons to come on Monday morning…we worked all afternoon and it was nearly time to stop when using a big hammer we were destroying the last wall…I hit the wall but the hammer was too heavy and I couldn’t hold it …my hand fall just on a piece of broken brick and I cut my finger…a deep cut….the blood started to come out but there was just a bit more to do so I decided to finish the work before to go to clean the blood…

It was impossible, I started to miss…my head turned, my brief wasn’t coming…I lied down for a while…as soon as I was ok again I tried to clean myself a bit just to go to the hospital..-.but again I fell missing…I took quickly my mobile and called for my sister..

“Can you come, I’ve a LITTLE PROBLEM”

She carry me at the hospital and after 2 hours waiting they gave me two stitches and also a phleboclysis because of my blood pressure…60-40…

After 20 minutes there, with my legs up and my head down I was a bit better and they left me go….

Well...now I have my finger covers with a white ( it was white…no more now) bandage…I can study and type on the pc….

The problem is...the finger…it’s the medium one!!!

Today we are having lunch at my sister’s because it’s her birthday…I just know she was looking for some special recipe…we will see…

Have a nice Sunday

MOVING OUT!

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 07:36:12 +0100

Hi Guys...
Yesterday I spent all the afternoon moving out the kitchen and all my stuff...I'm so tired!!
But I found out that "Never says never" is true...I had never thought about disassemble a kitchen...and I did!

All my stuff is now packed in big boxes so I feel…missing something….

Anyway…today I have to study for the exam I’m going to have on Tuesday so..I’m busy….and also I have my bike waiting for me…so…being a nice day, I think I’m going out for a while….

The snow just covered with a white cover for half a day because it has been melted by the sun in a minute…

Not too bad…I have not “snow tires” on the bike!!!

Have a nice Sunday….

FAST AND FURIOUS!

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 07:19:07 +0100

Hi guys...they are so fast....now it's me to be late...within 2 days they built up so many walls I'm suspecting they are the guys who built the Chinise Wall....

Unfortunatly they are quite far from England , instead I would have advice you to ask for them in case of works in the house...
and also the plumber is special one...

Now I have to clean all my stuff away because they have to do walls in places where there are carpets, draws , cupboards jet..
going to work...
see you!

HAVE A NICE DAY

RAIN....

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 05:25:21 +0100

Here it is...after a few days of thick fog…all grey around , view reduced to a few meters and outlines of everything out of focus ( I was worried about having bought wrong glasses !)…the rain arrived!

It’s 5.00 a.m. and I can’t sleep…I just stay still listening the tic tack (quite strong to tell the truth) on the roof above my head…

When there where no anxieties and it was possible to sleep well...it would have been the right excuse to turn in bed and fall asleep again in a deep sleep…but today…

Maybe it’s because yesterday the masons came and started to build up the walls…and as furious they nearly finish all they have to do….WOW!?!?!

Or maybe it’s because finally we (in the office) obtained the permit to built by a technician from a city hall technical office who was trying for several months to obtain a…”remuneration” before to allow it to be done…well…we are in the north luckily ?!?!?!?

Well…anyway it’s raining…and today, at lunch time, I’d like to go running…I’ll get wet…but I could put some soap on so I won’t have to take a shower coming back home….

…DAYS…SO…

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 07:18:58 +0100

These are days just…well…have no words to define them…the exams are coming closer but I have no will to study…

At the office I don’t like to stay…the boss is always more hysterical and rambling speaking and I can’t face her more then 10 minutes without tell her something back…so it’s better to stay away as much as possible…

The chemistry seems to act only for the collateral effects for the moment…exactly for the sleepiness…

I’m always falling asleep everywhere, my mind is not working at all...always asking to lye down for a while…but then I spent my nights looking at the ceiling…

Ok, it’s only the 4^th one I take...give it time…hope not too much…

I also restart my physical activity, following the program received by the trainer Antonio by the gym…

MONDAY: Running, exercises for the abdominals and legs and stretching plus postural exercises…

WEDNESDAY: Swimming pool

FRIDAY: Running, stretching plus postural exercises…

SUNDAY: Bicycle…130’ minutes around good speed…

Someone wants to join me??

Well, actually I’m particularly “strange”…my feet are completely different, one looks on a side , the other is used only on a side, my pelvis is rotate with the right part advanced compared to the left, my left shoulder is lower then the right (because of the several bicycle crashes I had)…well…it seems there is nothing working…I’m 30 (and a bit) and I’m already to make scrap out…I can use the benefits the Italian government is giving out for this in this period….good idea??

The will to leave is still there, don’t worry…and also the will to stay with people, to change this job where I stay 10 hours in front of a Pc who is not speaking at all…apart when it write on the screen “irreversible error-I’m shutting down”..

Well, better to go back to my books…maybe the night will bring any advice…

For now just remember… Taizè and the sentence from the group of relatives of Anonymous heavy drinkers..

JUST LIVE, JUST LEAVE IT TO GOD…

Bye…

BECKHAM

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 12:48:57 +0100

The famous and nebulous football player David Beckham, well known for having passed fields in half the world without got even a sock dirty, took a really “difficult and suffered decision”: to leave the Real Madrid, where he received 9 millions euro per year, and move to Los Angeles Galaxy , where he will gain 36 millions euro.This is only the last of venal decisions which responsibility has been charged on the wives…Zidane’s wife could afford to stay anymore in Turin because she needed the seaside, but a really not nice mistake of the travel agency sent them to the famous beach of Madrid. Shevchenko’s one, loving the pure languages, obliged his husband to choose a Russian millionaire in London because of the necessity of his child to learn the correct English.And now, Beckham’s one, she wants to become a star from Hollywood, but this was impossible from Madrid, apart seducing Almodovar who probably prefers his husband.So, David has been asked the sacrifice to move to Hollywood and quadruplicate his salary.Well, this seems to be the costume evolution. And also that the wives have started to assume once more role: the “capro espiatorio”

well, what to say in this case?? poor him!!
and also..someone too much, someone nothing!!!

CIPOLLINI....WHAT A SHAME!

Sat, 13 Jan 2007 20:26:32 +0100

Cipollini….tax evasion
Big and expensive troubles for “King Lion”. Mario Cipollini, one of stronger and faster cyclists on the world in the last years is involved in a judge because of a tax evasion….Following the Tax Office he wouldn’t had pay tax on 5 millions Euro gained between 2000 and 2004.Despite of his moving his settlement to Montecarlo in 1995, he has kept leaving in Lucca where lots of people are testing about this; their children are attending the local school, several costumers and people can witness his presence in Italy. Proceeds coming from signing on fee, adverts, tv shows should have been paid to the Italian government. He could sane his situation paying 1,5 millions Euro to the tax office, even if there is also another situation relate to 1995-1999 period still under exam...

Touched him!, one over a lots…I like to follow cyclism, to watch it on tv, to read about it on the newspaper…I like to see that some hills I hard-won in several hours are gained by someone else in a while, with no fatigue and to think “things from another world”…That they use drugs is obvious…who, between normal people can face 3000 km and how many meter height difference in 3 weeks at those speeds?? Someone said: “in the past they use to dope to arrive first, now they use to dope to not arrive last!” Is also obvious that they take lots of money (someone particularly)…like football players, pilots and so on…but they are making fool of us once more!! Yes, I’d like to speak for a while with “Lion King” about the 5 million Euro he gained and didn’t declare…Well, I wouldn’t see 5 million euro in all my life (as lots of us!) and he, he just decided not to declare them!!! If you go to a shop buying something and exit without the bill, you risk the fine, but him…I just consider it an INSULT! And also would like to know why, even though we know exactly how does it work, but we keep going along the ways to watch them to pass with their new and expensive bicycles ..paid by us, same as football players and so on…EHI GUYS, TIME TO WAKE UP…LET’S START TO SAY SOMETHING!

It seems to be all day in an exhibition looking at pictures…all the time you have the FRAME!And when something falls on the floor you have to practice the “obstacle jump” of the FRAME!I don’t know if I ever accept them?! or if I’ll choose the contact lens before!

SPECIAL DAY

Fri, 12 Jan 2007 21:30:34 +0100

Thanks, thanks a lot for the warm participation to this special day…!To tell the truth I really didn’t expect such a participation…instead..I felt you all around me, singing “Happy birthday”“how old??”…well, I think I’ll change the question… next one…or you can value it using an anemometer …yes the instrument to measure the wind power…looking at the power you’ll see how much I inflate to “turn off”(don0t know the correct word) the quantity of candles on the cake…well, we can’t speak anymore about cake…it’s already too big to be a cake…we need something bigger…any idea?And please, don’t tell me , as someone did this morning…”next year you’ll be 33, as Jesus…”…That will be NEXT YEAR...you said right!!Let’s talk about something else now….

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 20:39:47 +0100

Raphael Poirée during the world Biathlon Cup in Ruhpolding (Germany), for her daughter born he has written her name and her birthday date on his bottom. An other ridiculous thing demonstrating how Italians are considered around the world is about the young boy from an Italian High school has been refused by the Cambridge University (even though with a really high grade CV) because they said they know quite well the Italian Cultural level, of course not high enough to face the English school….Eh eh…maybe they are right…can’t tell it!Just know Italian school is not such a great organisation…of course…we need to change it radically….What do an English think about this? Bye, have a nice evening
