2 get married, 1000 go crazy

And they are married. Kate and Will. He asked and she said yes..as she would have said no after:
1. signing a confidentiality agreement with royal family
2. signing a prenuptial agreement
3.planning the wedding (booking location, inviting important people from around the world, having 3 wedding dresses as back-up till last minute, have an 8 tier cake, have air force flying over, and so many more of these)
4. give to England a day off
..and the TVs and radios all around the World say how much in love they are, what a real Cinderella story this is and how romantic their story is.

I guess marrying someone that comes with a prefix "Prince" is not just nice, it comes with a price, the Prince Price. Kate is getting into a relationship where she is presented as lesser level than her husband, and she actually signed that she agrees and accepts that. Is she really so much in love with him that she would do anything he asks for, or is she signing up her first step in personal career advancement? Did you see their kiss at the balcony? A rehersed kiss. She kissed him and then turned the head to the crowd. While he lingered his eyes for a little longer on her face. He looked at her. She looked at the crowd. When his parents kissed at the balcony, his mom was the one looking at his father. Is maybe this wedding the one that will revenge for Diana? Instead of the new girl feeling out of the place in the royal palace, will be the prince that will follow the new girl around. Maybe this is the modern love they are trying to bring in the traditional royalty.

Maybe they will be happy together till death do them apart but I do not think this is love. This is business. The new prince got a contract with a pretty girl that is behaving well around and is keeping her mouth shut about his family. The pretty girl got married with the Prince, she just has to play along nicely.




Love the little flower girl that is covering her ears from the noise!

Note to important people

So Easter is coming. Everyone is happy..some because of the religious meaning behind it, some just because of the extra vacations we get. 2 Days baby!! That means a very long weekend.
So I was trying to figure out what do we usually celebrate on our holidays. Some are around the country, like the flag day or the independence day. Some others are political or around an important political person for a country like Martin Luther King's day, or President's day or the birthday of Queen. Most of our holidays are religious, around people that are important to a religion like christmas or Easter. I am talking here about the holidays that are celebrated by non muslim countries, because on those countries the two religion examples above are out of discussion. For Christmas we get almost 1 week off and now for Easter we get 4 days. I wish Jesus was married at some point so we would have had another reason to celebrate and take some days off. The way I see it, the more achievements these important people have reached, the more days we can consider for celebration.

And here my note to the important people:
If you see that you will be or already are an important person, don't just get born and die. Don't stop there, do more! Like, get married, have a lot of children that might be important like you and then we celebrate their birthdays, build something great, make an important speach..or two, travel to other countries so they will celebrte the day you visited them.. I mean do a lot of things and give us chances to celebrate something more.

cry baby cry

Is one of those Saturday nights when I don't have plans to go out, feel tired, feel down and need a boost. Could have gone to bed at 9 but decided to throw myself in the hands of the TV channel choices. First I caught "Finding Forrester" in the last 30 minutes. Such a good movie. Darn, I missed the part when they talk about the BMW history. And that made me think, I am not a great person. I think I am more of like that bad/envious professor that is trying to win no matter what. I so want to be like the other professor, that at the end took the matter in his hands and very nicely closed the conflict. Why am I not like that, why am I not wise and calm, why am I not easy to accept loss... Not sure if that comes with age or is already stamped on me for forever. Is the life that takes us into roller coasters and we get into the player's role and start fighting for winning.... whatever it is, win it! And then I caught "PS. I Love You", almost from start. Impossible not to cry when you watch that movie on a late Saturday night when you have no other plans and feel down. This woman that can't let go of her dead husband, and then falls in love with his best friend... it is not as plain as this, there is more there but I find another tendency of mine. Cutting stories short, connecting begining with end in the shortest way and try to put some humor in it.... hoping my humor is understood as humor. I think i get things but being practical I cut the un-necessary parts to reach the inside kernel. It is like I am constantly delivering cases with a limit of words "Please present the financial status of your company and suggest what needs to change, in 200 words". So here I am, trying to pull myself up and all I end up doing is push it even lower, compare myslef with movie characters and for some reasons, live in other peoples fictional lives. Bad. Not helping..at all. I think I like Irish guys.. if that helps for anything...probably not. So, lesson to myself: find things to do on Saturday nights, or be prepared to cry for relief.

The song at the end of the movie says:

Give me reason but don't give me choice cuz' i might make the same mistake again

Stress is stronger than hormones

Well, I will maybe give too much personal data here but I feel I have to in order to make my point. Every month, just like every other woman, I have to go through some "so" proclaimed "natural pain" that was given to us because some woman decided to bite an apple! Rather than the pain that men might assume, mine is focused on my head. I have huge headaches before and after. It is all explained scientifically based on the change of the level of hormones and their chemical effect to nerves. The pain never fails to be wrong, it is my "alarm" clock.

Last month, I felt very stressed. Work related and personal. Too much to do, too much attention on how to say what to say. The sleep did get hurt too and that affects the mood. So in short, I am happy all that is now over. But what I noticed was, the alarm clock didn't go off! Because of the stress and the muscle spasm, I might have taken here and there an Advil (it is always in my purse, like kids keep lollipops). Without taking too much care of my internal clock, I kept moving and working and do all the routine required. I kept moving like a robot until all was done. And then, without any warning, the natural cycle started and this time, with headache.

Darn stress! Is not enough that messes up with my sleep, my way of responding to others, my neck freeze, my beauty, my attention to details...it also messes up with my hormones...and Wins!! How can I train my hormones to be stronger and do what they have to do without being affected from external dependencies? It sounds like a man askign for his spermatozoids to be trained to go fast and "bulls eye" but to my point, hormones should be on our side, not against us! If stress can overcome hormones, then why do hormones overcome the rest? It is like rock-paper-scizors but paper always loosing! There seems to be no point on resting because it will not bring you any strength, it will just strengthen your hormones. But then, when stress arrives, hormones bent over.

In short, stress is bad, hormones are hores (maybe that's why the name!) and rest is the little guy that needs help and protection. Fight for your rest!
