It’s known around that Spring is the usual time to start off romantic relationships and ish like that. Kind of, plant the seed, see how it grows over the Summer.

But the thing is though, what you plant in Spring, is gonna be dead by Fall. You can then dry it and save it for your herbarium or something.

I’m bout to take this love thing to a whole ‘nother level right about now. Sit tight. I’m like Sphere. Getting you the good stuff.

What I’m saying is, love is not a plant! Relationships are not meant to be dead one day! And ain’t no plant out there can claim eternal life, even those bristlecone pines, don’t tell me I’m not right.

That’s why it’s way better to fall in love around this time of the year. Late Fall, early Winter.. Cold, colder, freezing.. Get a picture? Things are preserved better when frozen.

That’s more of a joke though, but as they say.. In every joke there is a grain of.. um.. joke =)

And definitely, definitely, you and I know there must be something (well, a special *somebody*, actually) to make me write such a post. And yes, there is a new feeling in my world currently. And who else but a girl born on Valentine’s Day can spark that, you feel me? ;)

I ain’t saying it’s love.. But it surely gets frozen for a long, long shelf life. Believe it.

Today, while shopping at SKY, I thought that I’m not gonna take those plastic bags. Don’t know, how did I come up with the idea, looks like it just becomes stylish.

It all began way before the sunset, when I decided to take a walk around Mezhciems and breathe some fresh air. The weather was really wonderful - calm, no wind, not even a cloud,  a typical early Spring. Seems like Mother Nature itslef has sent me a message.. Well, who knows though, maybe that Parex ad?

On my way back, I called at SKY supermarket on Hippocrates street to grab some food. Quick to throw in the cart all needed items, I stood in a short queue and at the cashiers I started to look for some “environment friendly” opportunities this store had to offer. As I didn’t have many goods, I chose one paper bag which looked pretty big and spacious enough to handle all of my Sunday shopping.

And then, a nice surprise was waiting for me - a girl at the cashiers smiled and announced that today, see, is the environment friendly day and big paper bags with a Zaļā Josta (Green Belt) sticker are free. 10 cents saved and I, feeling so happy for the harmony I got with nature, SKY store and the Green Belt campaign, was on my way home.

It became colder in the evening and I thought that I would need the gloves. That’s a small thing of course, because my mood is just perfect + clear skies, full of stars makes it even better. I saw the Orion’s Belt and smiled - life is beautiful after all!

What is left to add is, people often underestimate the abilities of paper (and cotton) bags. Those can lift not just all the 50 lbs, but also your mood! Here’s my truest wish: choose the environment friendly package! Yolkin, how are ya? =)

To all the ladies in the place with style and grace..

Happy Women’s Day!!

I am enjoying what looks to be one of the most beautiful moments I can remember - sunrise over the forest from my bird’s eye view right here =) And today, it looks even more picturesque than ever, thanks to this date, March 8 - thanks to all the women, young ladies you’re gorgeous, this one’s for y’all!

To all Orthodox Christians, Merry Christmas, have a bright holiday and enjoy this day! Smile, understand and love each other, always!

I am touched by the speech of Alexy II, which I watched yesterday on 1st Baltic. Patriarch especially emphasized the importance of relationships and love in the modern society. It’s just as timely for me, as of late.

I want us to trust and live, and be happy!

Break-up with my girl and a Bima fly to the ditch proved to be fake - Lexxus is here and ain’t goin’ nowhere. Even more, I’m powerful and energized enough to step into New Year surely boldly, yes I know what I’m doin’.

Stay tuned to RigaTalk.com and see y’all.

Matter fact, Happy 2008! Ain’t it gonna be great? ;)

Damn. Viesuļvētra. Sūds ir traks.

Gāžās koki, elektrības stabi, uz šosejām avārijas ar bojā gājušiem, Daugavpilī izbēg cietumnieki no palikušā bez elektrības Grīvas cietuma..

Pilnīgākais haoss.

Bet īstenībā jau nekas tāds – tikai stiprāks vējš, lietus, šur tur sniegs. Salīdzinājumā ar citviet pasaulē notiekošām nelaimēm, kur bojā iet līdz pat tūkstošiem cilvēku – mūsu laiks taču ir burvīgs!

Šodien pat saulīte spīd.

Tāpēc būsim pacietīgi pret māti dabu un baudīsim šo brīnišķīgo rudeni! Lietusmēteļos un gumijas zābakos gan.
