#25 and counting

Hello 25!!!

I am not sure whether you've come fast or not. But I am sure that I am ready for you. They say that after 25 you are an adult. No, i have not changed over the night. I am basically the same as yesterday. However, the passing year was  a year of transition and changes. If I take a look back, I see how much I have changed. When I try to sneak peek into the future I acknowlege the long way I still have to do in order to become who I want to be.


So let's talk about changes!

At 25 years old:

* I love and accept myself the way I am. Bad hair days and bad face days come and go, but my inner peace is more important. I focus less on the outside and more on the inside!

* I value my family more. There is nothing more precious than them!

* I have learned that in any situation it is important to be a HUMAN and that Honesty has no price;

* I speak less, but when I do it is from my heart;

* I love the nature more, and I try to admire it in silence. No pictures, no filtres!

* i have learned that life is unpredictable and everyday has its story;

* I have understood that you cannot buy Health;

* I have started not to care about what others would say;

*I have regained my independence!


At the same time,

Next year I have to:

* Take more care about myself;

*Study more. Learn something new everyday!

* Commit more to my friends and family;

*Be more creative;

* Recycle and Reuse more;

* Learn how to manage my time better.

Thank you #24! You were really special! But it is time to  move on to new lessons and adventures. The best is yet to come!!!

Sincerely,
25 years old Alina!

Did you know that? Italy

Hello everyone 😇, Italy is the country that has adopted us. I have been living here for almost 4 years now. It has its ups and downs but as a grateful daughter, I will not talk about any negative aspect here. This post is about the interesting facts you probably didn't know about Italy. I didn't know some of them either. And it was fun enough to discover it now. So here they are! Did you know that: 1. Italy has more volcanoes than any other country in Europe. It hosts all 3 of Europe's active volcanoes; 2. Pizza was invented in Naples. And it has recently become UNESCO's patrimony. Not the pizza as a product but the process of making pizza; 3. Italy is the 5th most visited country in the world. It welcomes around 46 million foreign visitors every year. 4. Italy is the 5th most populous country in Europe; 5. It has more earthquakes than any other country in Europe; 6. Italian is the closest language to Latin; 7. According to Italians, 17 is considere...

Letter to Oliver

Dear baby Oliver, Why do you hurry  to grow up? Don't understand me wrong, I am glad and proud every time you do something new. Your noisy laughter melts my heart. The tender way you look into my eyes is just priceless. When you gently hold my hand it reminds me of all the times I have been thinking of you and waiting for you. Why don't you want to stop the time just for an instance? I wish I could keep the innocence in your eyes forever. I wish I could protect you from the bad. I want to see you growing a strong boy with a loving heart. I don't want you to get hurt in any way! Thank you for making me worth being called a "Mother". You have thaught me what patience is. You also help me understand that not everything should be about me. Your presence in our lives has made us better people. We can talk without saying any words. You are little but your heart is bigger than ours. There is room for everyone! This week you turned 8 months. 8 months of Joy, Love ...

Istanbul, Turkey

Merhaba my friends, I have been absent for a while due to a very busy schedule. It was busy not only because of work and the baby, but also because we were getting ready for a new adventure. This time we had the courage to go a little further than the usual 2-3 days get aways. I am ready to write about it now when the bags are unpacked, almost all the goodies have been eaten and we are almost back to reality. We visited Istanbul - the city of contrasts. Honestly, I did not want to have any expectations before the trip. I knew very little about Istanbul and Turkish culture in general. Unlike many girls of my age, I have not watched any Turkish TV series :) (although there are a lot of them). So i did not know what i would find there. The best thing about our vacation was that we were not real tourists. A few people know that my sister-in-law lives there with her family. Therefore we were lucky to discover the Turkish life style from the inside. We were also lucky to visit the cou...
