Lhasa de Sela - Rising
I got caught in a storm
And carried away
I got turned, turned around
I got caught in a storm
That's what happened to me
So I didn't call
And you didn't see me for a while
I was rising up
Hitting the ground
And breaking and breaking
I was caught in a storm
Things were flying around
And carried away
I got turned, turned around
I got caught in a storm
That's what happened to me
So I didn't call
And you didn't see me for a while
I was rising up
Hitting the ground
And breaking and breaking
I was caught in a storm
Things were flying around
And doors were slamming
And windows were breaking
And I couldn't hear what you were saying
I couldn't hear what you were saying
I couldn't hear what you were saying
I was rising up
Hitting the ground
And breaking and breaking
Rising up
Rising up
And windows were breaking
And I couldn't hear what you were saying
I couldn't hear what you were saying
I couldn't hear what you were saying
I was rising up
Hitting the ground
And breaking and breaking
Rising up
Rising up
Lhasa de Sela - Rising Lyrics
Artist: Lhasa de SelaAlbum: Lhasa
http://www.songlyrics.com/lhasa-de-sela/rising-lyrics/
Lhasa de Sela,
a Mexican-American singer and songwriter who became an international
star after moving to Canada, died on Jan. 1 at her home in Montreal.
She was 37.
The cause was breast cancer, which she had been battling for almost two years, said her partner, Ryan Morey.
Ms.
de Sela, who performed under the single name Lhasa, sang in English,
Spanish and French. Her lyrics ranged from simple declarations of love
and loneliness to dark stories steeped in the imagery of fairy tales.
Her melodies drew from a range of sources, including Mexican folk songs
and the music of French chanteuses like Édith Piaf, to whom her highly
emotional delivery often drew comparisons.

Year of the Monkey
2016 (on the Chinese calendar) is a year of the Monkey, starting from
February 8 (Chinese New Year), and ending on January 27, 2017 (Chinese
New Year’s Eve).
In Chinese astrology, each year is associated with a Chinese zodiac animal sign and one the Five Elements:
Gold (Metal), Water, Wood, Fire, or Earth. Both the sign and element
of your birth year are said to affect your personality and destiny.
Element-sign combinations recur every 60 years:
The Five Monkeys | Born | Character |

Wood Monkey | ... 2004, 1944, ... | Always ready to help others; compassionate, with strong self-esteem, but stubborn |

24 Ianuarie 1859 – Unirea Principatelor Române
Mihail Kogălniceanu şi Unirea din 1859
Astăzi, se vorbeşte mult de Unirea Basarabiei cu România.
Când aud, unora li se înfierbântă frunţile şi leşină, alţii nu pot dormi
ceasuri întregi după miezul nopţii.
Unii se arată băţoşi că numai ei ţin la
ideea Unirii, iar altora nu le pasă de biata Moldovioară. Unii se tem de
Unire ca dracul de tămâie, iar pe alţii îi apucă sughiţul şi nu pot
trăi fără ea. Şi unii, şi alţii nu au dreptate. Ideea Unirii, ideea de
întregire a neamului nostru e veche, ea a fost grija de fiecare zi a
strămoşilor noştri, căci altfel nu mai existam ca popor până în ziua de
azi. Această idee a fost în atenţia fiecărui trăitor de pe acest pământ
românesc, ea a fost idealul naţional al poporului. Azi ne-a împânzit
pecinginea rusească şi Moldova e ameninţată de pieire. Pecinginea ne
mănâncă pe dinăuntru şi pe dinafară. Deci, ea trebuie lecuită. Putem
scăpa de „această râie”, vorba lui Alexandru Lăpuşneanul, numai prin
unirea tuturor românilor.24 January 1859 – The founding of the modern Romanian national state
It is well known that the 19th Century represents an epoch of strong
affirming of nations, of national states, so it was named “the century
of nationalities.” Over a relatively short time interval, of several
decades, the Greeks, Serbians, Italians, Germans, Bulgarians founded
national states that gradually became important actors on the
international stage, some of them – such as Germany – even with
hegemonic aspirations.
Romanians, too, were among the peoples that succeeded in founding the
state in its modern form, although not all of them were included in it,
because of objective conditions.
A neo-Latin people, continuator and heir to the ‘Oriental Roman world,’
Romanians – like other peoples of the Ponto-Baltic isthmus, had a
contorted history that made them live separated, from a political point
of view, for several centuries.

Mihai Eminescu
Mihai Eminescu
15 January 1850 – 15 June 1889
was a Romantic poet, novelist and journalist, often regarded as the most famous and influential Romanian poet.
Eminescu, the icon of the Romanian culture and the last romantic poet of
Europe, is today celebrated in all corners of the world.
I am very fond of Eminescu’s work and it is hard to say which pieces would be my favourite. Apart from many, many others, the “Gloss”
touches me differently every time I read it, perhaps because it goes
and goes in circle with a mirror effect and symmetric style:
“Days go past and days come still
All is old and all is new,
What is well and what is ill,
You imagine and construe;
Do not hope and do not fear,
Waves that leap like waves must fall;
Should they praise or should they jeer,
Look but coldly on it all”.
All is old and all is new,
What is well and what is ill,
You imagine and construe;
Do not hope and do not fear,
Waves that leap like waves must fall;
Should they praise or should they jeer,
Look but coldly on it all”.
…………………………………………
“Look but coldly on it all,
Should they praise or should they jeer;
Waves that leap like waves must fall,
Do not hope and do not fear.
You imagine and construe
What is well and what is ill;
All is old and all is new,
Days go past and days come still”.
Should they praise or should they jeer;
Waves that leap like waves must fall,
Do not hope and do not fear.
You imagine and construe
What is well and what is ill;
All is old and all is new,
Days go past and days come still”.
(English version by Corneliu M. Popescu)

Bucharest lights
Bucharest lights
Nice Christmas market in the heart of the city. Products
ranging from traditional Romanian goods as typical food, costumes,
blankets, traditional Christmas market goods as chestnuts, mulled wine
to surprising things as hot beer and so on. What I liked most were the
Christmas lights project onto the surrounding high, old buildings.
