One moment to say hi !




... Aw these relaxing pictures of Andrea ... Sigh ...

I have an English exam today.(It's not weekend here) It's raining outside, and I wish I could stay home and enjoy watching and hearing the rain and drinking some hot tea.
Tomorrow I should meet my teacher to talk about my project and show her some of the logos I've designed. Therefore, tonight I need to work hard. and well still so behind your posts and comments! :(

Wish me luck! Okay?! See you on Monday!

AN APPLE A DAY






I love apple. I am the kind of person who believes in things like "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away". When I saw this neat poster/calendar/whatever!... it was just like That's It! I think the idea is great. You peel the variety sticker from every apple you eat each day and attach it to a square. At the end of a year you have a colorful apple's stickers poster and a beautiful body! Let's eat apples! I am going to grab one right now...

Happy Tuesday!

p.s. I've started designing again... wow! It feels nice! Thanks to each of you who support me in bad days! kisses!

Update: I had put the link, but it seemed it was not clear. Please click here to find the poster.

I will remember ...



Those messages, comments and emails were so unbelievably wonderful that I can never ever forget even a word of them!

wow! You all made me exquisitely happy. I can never explain how much they all mean to me. I can never despair you again.

Oh my God, I don't really know how should I thank you guys. You are thoughtful, caring, lovely and make me really happy. "really" like ... the happiest!

I wish I could hug each of you!!!


I thought for hours today about how can I answer your loveliness... These are very little words just to make sure you all know that I am so happy that I've started this blog, that I've met each of you and that I am so proud to have such nice people around me...

Dear, please let me know if you have a blog or something, because I couldn't find any link at your profile.
Thanks a lot for your words!

Who I Am and What My Dreams Are



{an old darling photo of Dario and me}



I am not sure why I am writing this post. I am not inspired, nor do I have anything inspiring to share.

I am just not pleased of myself. I am not doing what I should do, what I am supposed to do. I am sitting and thinking and nagging me and trying to figure out "who I am" and "what are my dreams".  I am wandering around blogs and observing... those who are talented. those who are doing great stuff with pleasure. people who are growing. I check back their achieves and observe their growth.

Sometimes I am not really sure about this blogging thing. Sometimes I am not confident enough... Sometimes I think too much about other people. Sometimes I am too envious.

I have a very bad headache. I miss Farshad so much. I miss my sister. I miss Dario. I miss a world.


Sorry...
Good Night.

MINT TEA AND HORSES




I got cold, again. And I am so in the mood for a travel to Fritzlar. Just looking at my travel's photos and well... miss my cousin and that wonderfully peaceful area.
So now I think I am going to make one cup of mint tea, add a teaspoon honey and squeeze a lemon.(That's my cousin's recipe and suits for any kind of sickness!) ... Play some great music.  Take a beautiful catalog and try to relax.

Happy Sunday.

THE ANGEL


She is my angel. Nothing has changed.
After all these years, she's still my angel.

The one who taught me how to love.
The one who taught me how to smile.
The one who taught me how to cry.

After all these years, she is still taking care of me, and I am still her little one...
After all these years, she can feel me, she can see me!

She's my joy, my happiness. She's the one I can call "dear".

Dear sister, you are my idyllic angel!

THIS MORNING : COFFEE



I had such a beautiful breakfast time yesterday with my pretty friend Neda. And since we were like two very old friends who haven't met each other for years and years (did I mention that this was our second time we met each other?) ...and  have lots and lots of things to say and share, so I forgot to take photos of our breakfast, unfortunately. Oh, and she has a nice review of our breakfast here.
And today I had coffee for breakfast,simple and delicious and of course light! Isn't this light so lovely?

xo

p.s. I've decided to respond or answer your lovely comments mostly in the comment section. So the last two posts have some quick responds for some of you. And I think I will keep doing this. Thank you so much for all these lovely messages. :) They mean a lot to me.

Corner View : TYPICAL SOUVENIR



I don't know if it is a real "typical souvenir" or not, but there is no doubt this is my corner view!
There is a pedestrian bridge at the end of the street we live in. I call it "my bridge". Wherever I want to go by foot I need to pass this beautiful view. Yes, there is my city. my beloved city, Tehran. Though this picture just shows a very tiny angle of it, for me it has one world of messages. One world of  memories. One world of feelings. One world of ... wow! I can't believe these drops of tear ...
I am not sure if this feeling can be understand by all of you... When you own something that you feel you may lose it. You own something very precious you may leave it...
