* My sister looks and sounds more and more like our late mother. I have been told lately that I look now more like my father. A sign of growing old as Marquez put it.
* 2o11 was splendid. Unrest reigned in the three overlapping personal, professional and national circles.
* Sometimes I feel nostalgic to my old blog. The supposed persona behind it was different, popularity was higher and language was native. I gunned it down 3 years ago but kept the body in the morgue. Every few months I feel like reading the old posts which seem to me now as if they were written by someone else. Surprisingly new comments were still posted until last week.
* Heavy winter clothes fill my cupboard. I like the elegance of winter clothes whose different pieces allow matching colors and styles, unlike my summer clothes which are usually reduced to a t-shirt and jeans.
* I wrote a comment in some blog lately and found out it was deleted by the blogger. This happened before in another blog. It is strange that some bloggers, who seem or pretend to be broad-minded and cool, get hurt by a polite harmless different point of view or offended by an unfunny comment (mistaken by its writer for being funny though!).
* Courteous, shy, soft-spoken, quiet and level-headed. He does not fake any of these qualities. He is also blessed with easy-to-the-eye face features that pack the deal. What do very few close people know though is that he is also alcoholic and regular cheater. Those who happen to find out the other side of his character, get obviously shocked. Even I, despite our long history of friendship, still get intrigued by the sharp contrast between the mister and the doctor in his character. Interesting that he is mainly and severely judged by the others for the misconception people have about him more than anything else.
hmmmmm......
