Happy summer!!!!

  HAPPY SUMMER!!!!!!!

Being Trapped

This is another of my favorite story that i read long time ago and i will describe some of the events that happen in this story little bit like short summary.Most people cherish freedom of self expression. It shapes one's personality and fulfills their lie to ultimate happiness. On the contrary, to rob someone of their identity is the same as crushing the human spirit within them.In the ninth-in century a story " the yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gillman, high lite the lack of women's independence and status within marriage and their lack of expression.The protagonist in this storyis depressed women living by the rules of her husband John.Besides his role as a spouse he is also physician controlling every moment of her life.While they move to a mansion until their house renovation is complete her mental health is an progressing condition.The mental oppression placed upon the narrator is the main cause for her final descent into complicit insanity.It is instantly obvious how the narrator in the story allows herself to be incapable of making decision of her own. She obeys John's orders without any complaints or discouragements.The narrator's oppressive husband is making her condition even worse by keeping her isolated from friend and family until she fills better.This story is very long and the bast thing is to read it and understand.I would recommence this story to everyone.

San Francisco

Two years ago i visited San Francisco, California and in my opinion San Francisco is the most beautiful city in the United States. I found mostly that i like climate like first then city that is very interesting geographically and of course beautiful architecture.San Francisco is a popular international tourist destination, renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, and its famous landmarks, including the  and Chinatown and Golden Gate Bridge. The city is also a principal banking and finance center, and the home to more than 30 international financial institutions.San Francisco's climate is characteristic of the cool-summer  of California’s coast, "generally characterized by moist mild winters and dry summers. Since it is surrounded on three sides by water, San Francisco's weather is strongly influenced by the cold wind of the Pacific Ocean, which moderates temperature swings and produces a remarkably mild year-round climate with little seasonal temperature variation.Climate is very similar to Mediterranean climate.

The Battle over Power

Question like"What  do women want?" usually remain without an ideal answer. Similarly, question regarding the division  of labor and inequality between man and women have no clear -cut answers.Many women would agree that they are the once under the pressure of doing most of the work in the home on the top of having a career. When measuring equality between women and men, it is wrong to compare workplace and home responsibilities held by two genders.Women have achieved gender equality in the workplace.When it comes to participation in housework, the focus is on issue and shortcomings of man who actually increased their contribution to housework in the last few decades.In today's society issue like equality among the genders are participation of man in family duties would bring different response from different individuals.In some families a father has a focus on a carrier to keep family financially stable.As for the equality among the genders in work field, women are already as powerful as man.

OBEDIENCE

Obedience in our society is basic element in the structure of social life.Obedience is most important part of our life and all society require some system of authority.Obedience could be towadr to society , child obedience or obedience in army.Also, there is many other type of obedience.Obedience is  traditional cultures; historically, children have been expected to be obedient to their elders, slaves to their owners, serfs to their lords in feudal society, lords to their king, and everyone to God.
Learning to obey adult rules is a major part of the socialization process in childhood, and many techniques are used by adults to modify the behavior of children. Additionally, extensive training is given in armies to make soldiers capable of obeying orders in situations where an untrained person would not be willing to follow orders.In our society obedience is the government which makes all the laws, restriction, which is there to protect the right. 

Feeiling sad

 I don't lake to feel sad and blue but some days are simply like that. Not always could be happy days.Feeling sad and blue is defined as a state of unhappiness and hopelessness. There is always some days that person can feel sad or unhappy . Sadness affects everyone at some point in their lives. It can be related to the just feeling unhappy , loss of a job or the breakdown of a relationship. For most people, saddens is gradually relieved through the support of friends and family, the resolution of the problem and simply time,or sometime exercise is good help.
For others, the symptoms persist and worsen, causing multiple problems in their lives and in their social interactions. Clinical depression is categorized as depression that persists and includes inability to concentrate, lack of energy, inability to sleep, and possible suicidal tendencies.When i feel sad i always put music on and start to sing and that is really help me and it works for me.

Child policy in China

China's one child policy forces some couples to have no more than one child. China's population policy has been credited with a very significant slowing of China's population growth which had been higher before the policy was implemented. It has come under criticism that the implementation of the policy has involved forced abortions and sterilization. However, while the punishment of "unplanned" pregnancy is a fine, both forced abortion and forced sterilization can be charged with intentional assault, which is punished with up to 10 years' imprisonment. If born with another child and kept, parents must pay a large fine for every day he/she is alive.In my opinion  i don't think this is right.Some people would like to have more then one child and by the law they can't.China is overpopulated but 10 years imprisonment is ridicules.

HAPPINESS

Feeling happy is wonderful feeling.Many things in our life could make us extremely happy.I think every person have different way of thinking about happiness and i have some suggestion that i read and i think it could have positive impact on life and happiness.

latest scientific research relating to happiness.
Everyone’s path to happiness is different, but the research suggests these Ten Keys
consistently tend to have a positive impact on people’s overall happiness and well-being. The

DOCUMENTARY FILM " FOOD INC" BY ROBERT KENNER

Last night i watched documentary film" Food INC," by Robert Kenner  as a part of my English class.The documentary film describes the cruelties to animals, the employees and the  control the corporations hold.While the corporations are making huge profits their procedures of producing and the policies they have are unjust on every level.The corporations show no interest in accommodating  livestock with proper animal living condition.For them it is more important to produce tons of meat without providing the animals with acceptable raising and farming.In the film there is an alarming scene where animals are packed up tightly on top of each other.Before they are killed they have to suffer and live in unsanitary conditions.Similarly, the food eaten by the livestock greatly differs from natural food chain for animals such as grass.The corporations are feeding them with food loaded with chemically enhanced ingredient to make them fatter. In the film some of the animals are unable to stand up on their feet. If  compared with humans; a person to fat to walk is not normal or healthy.Why is it acceptable to eat the meat of such sick animal that is unable to walk?By feeding them the proper animal's food would make meat healthier, even if it means a smaller quantity production.The main reason for this issue is the production and sale of cheap food.But the food sold that today's population eats has a high price. The current generation is struggling with many diseases because of the cheap food.The number of individuals with obesity and diabetic diseases patients are greatly spread among the nation.This leads to spending more on health insurance, medication and doctor visits.Not to mention the personal suffering of those inflicted with the diseases.The corporations are not providing cheap foods, but instead they are filling their bank accounts.To buy those so called cheap products people are contributing to the corporations with wealth, and at the same time risk their health.The corporations create their profits  not just by neglecting animals but their employees as well.The labor force behind production is low wage individuals.They are working considerable physically challenging jobs, health hazardous without any benefits and in many cases without legal status.  The one without legal status are the most disadvantaged.For the companies they are force behind the production and a cheap expendable labor easily replaced.This is a shame.Another disappointing fact is the control of industry over independent farmers.The farmers invests large amounts of money,which unable them to break the contract.It is sad fact that they control everything. How can people hope for the improvement in the quality of food production if they have this much control already?The way the poisonous food system works now is not promising a healthy life for today's generation or the future one.The documentary film is a wake up call.Everyday people eat food without knowledge how it got to supermarkets or restaurants.Hopefully there will be a positive change to improve all those issue within factories and company policies in the near future.

New York

For many years i lived in New York city.New York is very unique  and interesting city with many things to do.New York City's five boroughs are home to some of the world's most recognizable, cherished landmarks and attractions. From Times Square and Central Park to the Empire State Building and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the island of Manhattan packs more legendary icons into one compact area than any other place on Earth—and that's to say nothing of the City's four other boroughs, each of which contains its own beautiful sites. Especially notable this season is the  a public parks in all boroughs.. With so much to see and do, NYC may seem a little overwhelming.I live now in Stamford now but every chance i have i always go and visit wonderful New York city.Stamford is not that far from New York city but i would command everyone to go and see this interesting places and you wouldn't regretted. 

Kidney diseases

Many years i was working as a dialysis technician.For somebody  that don't know what is dialysis i will explain.My job description was to asses patient, hook up on dialysis ma shin and monitor patient through that process.I always felt sorry for the people that have kidney problem.Kidneys are very complex organs in human body. The function of the kidney goes like this:the main function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess water from the blood. The kidneys process about 200 liters of blood every day and produce about two liters of urine. The  kidney stops to faction over the years and that could happen when person usually have diabetes,high blood pressure or genetic kidney diseases.Although, when person have chronic kidney diseases there is dangerous accumulation of water, waste, and toxic substances, and most individuals in this stage of kidney disease need dialysis or transplantation to stay alive.

Camping

This weekend i went to camping.It was an amazing and wonderful experience.I newer new that camping could be so much fun.Also, it is not just camping, it is hiking, swimming on the lake, waterfalls and many other interesting activities.I'm person that like outside activities but sleeping in the tent was not my thing.We went to Bash Bish waterfalls park were they have camp and that is up state New York right on the border where is Massachusetts. 
Actually, it's the state's highest waterfalls... you get two waterfalls for the price of one when you visit Bash Bish State Park, and best of all--the price is free!
Bash Bish State Park is actually located within the Mount Washington State Forest, a 4,000-acre forest.
The state forest has 30 miles of hiking trails and a limited number of wilderness camping sites that are also available.It is really worth ed to see it and if  you don't like camping it is wort to see it beautiful waterfalls.

Urban Stamford

To live in an urban area has its advantages. It means to live close to everything a resident might need, in radius within few blocks.Either we need;food, dray cleaners or doctor office.Today in Stamford, there are plenty of doctors and dentists offices.You can spot a doctor office almost at least one on every block. However,when i was talking with my neighbors, this is not the luxury that people had in the past when they lived in Old Stamford.Compering the Old Stamford with the one we live today makes me wonder how much our community as well as its people have changed.Talking with older people in my building they told me that was everything was different and that they didn't have everything that they have now.Our urban neighborhood today provides us with everything we require without the need to travel too far. 

Interpreter of Maladies by Jumpa Lahri/An irresponsible perenthhood

Another novel that i was impressed by Jumpa Lahri is" An irresponsible Parenthood" and i will shortly describe it.Every individual has a different personality.Those personality can be kindness , friendliness, and many other types. One of the worst quality would be selfishness. In this novel, we see an example of such selfishness. The characters Mr. and Mrs. Das are an American couple with Indian heritage,  who are visiting their family in India.They Mr. Kapasi who is a tour guide, and also interpreter at the doctor's office. As trip went on, Mr. and Mrs. Das were revealing their selfishness, their neglect toward Mr. Kapasi, and their own children.To sum up everything because it is long story, i,m able to see theses instances through the character Mr. Kapasi and his observation of this family, and horrible selfishness of these two people.This book is wonderful  and i think everybody should read  it.

"Interpreter of Maladies" by author Jumpha Lahri

I'm person who like to read a lot and one novel called" Interpreter of Maladies" by author Jumpha Lahri captured my attention, and the story goes like this.When someone feels lonely they usually feel empty and unimportant.Many people experience these feelings once they arrive to a new country. In the novel Interpreter of Maladies wee see the description of how a entertain person is dealing with loneliness.In the short story "Real Durwan"the character Boori Ma is trying to adopt to a new life as a refuge and examples how she deals with her loneliness.She is dealing with her loneliness through her stories of her past life and her present life as  durwan.Boori Ma is a sixty four year women and homeless.She is claiming that she used to be very rich and important person. Instead, her present life where she is stair sweeper and durwan.Boori Ma doesn't have any family or friends, she is a refugee in a new country. The only person who pays attention to her is Mrs.Dalal who is one of the tenants who lives in the building.She is a person that Boori Ma complains to about her sleeping in dirty sheets and how insects are biting her.Boori Ma needs someone to talk to acknowledge her as a person and her is telling her story how important she was because, that  is the way of dealing with loneliness through the memories of her life fulfilled with importance and attention. Which she had lost and become homeless person. In our society many people today are experiencing loneliness. Many immigrants are experiencing loneliness  when they arrive at a new country or are refugees like Boori Ma.People usually deal with those emotions by trying to keep their traditions alive.Anyway i could write about this novel forever and i think you gays who ever read this blog maybe should read this book it is great.I gave just little intro.

War

War is something that i really don't like.I'm the war survivor and war refugee.Usually i don't like to write about war but momentarily i don't have better idea for my blog.War is usually conflict between states or some military conflict or most common political imbalances.In my country it was a civil war,not really human and so far  very aggressive war.It occur when i was in my twentieths.Sometime i watch  the World news  and countries that are affected by war.Usually people on the tv comment  about military or politician but very rarely about civilian only if is huge number of death or some not human incidence.Anyway i feel very sorry for people anywhere in the world that are affected by the war especially children and women.War never brings anyone good. 

My passion is painting

 My second favorite passion is  a painting but when i was a child it was the first and most important passion and i thought maybe one day is going to be my occupation.I really like to paint and it relaxes me,  make me happy and artistic .Painting is mode of expression of your imagination but sometime  comes from beautiful surrounding like landscape or some photographs that artist can  describe with brush and colors.I like to paint with oil paints on canvas.Oil painting is processed where artist mix paint with linseed oil and other tip of oil for drying because  paint on canvas don't dry so easily.I can't tell you which style of painting is my style because is not abstract is not expressionism  and not either modernism.I like to paint sometime ocean sometime beautiful landscape but sometimes something from my imagination. I also have to be in good mood to paint because paint with any type of stress really don't look so good.Anyway this is about my second passion and maybe next time when  i finish my painting i will describe in my next future blog.

Dominican Republic

Three years in the row me and my family goes to Dominican republic on Family vacation.This country is very pretty unlike Europe in many ways.Dominican Republic is one of the Caribbean island with Spanish as official language. Dominican Republic is fantastic place for relaxation with wonderful white sand beaches and resort.What i like about this country of my perfect getaway vacation is crystal clear bluish, greenish   water  and fantastic view from everywhere.I found Dominican people very interesting and very pleasant.Also, music is magnificent Batchata, marengue and many other music that i can actually pronounce.I think this country is very pretty.

Newport Rhode Island

Last weekend i went to Newport.I had awesome time.Usually me and my family every year during the summer time at least once or two times   go to visit this beautiful small town.Newport is close to Providence and not that fare  from Stamford either,usually take me to go there about two hours of driving.What i like about Newport is nice ,clean, beautiful beaches,small town with significant architecture and interesting history also the famous cliff walk with unusually pretty view.The New
port cliff walk is considered one of the most popular attraction in the city.It is about 4 or 5 miles walkway bordering the shoreline.It  is recreational and plus beautiful.I usually go in the morning and afternoon for a walk by the ocean on the cliffs.Also they have marina in the town where are many sailboats,commercial boats and yachts and sometimes they have competition with sailing boats during the summer or u can just pay for one hour of riding on the tour boat which is very interesting too.There is many other things to see but i just mention some of them that i like and that i found interesting.I think Newport is very special and interesting town in the United States to see and if you gays have chance go to see this pretty town because is not that far from Connecticut.
 

"Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown

I just read excellent book called” Angels and Demons” by Dan Brown. Usually I don’t enjoy reading fiction books but I could hardly put this book down. It is about symbolist named Robert Langdon and his assignments to discover evidence of the unimaginable an ancient secret. I think they made movie out of this book but I’m not sure. This book is similar to The Da Vinci Code and if you gays read that book you will probably like this one. Exciting book I would recommend everyone to read!!!!

Friendship

In everyday life, we encounter a number of people who are oftentimes nothing more then strangers. There are times, however, that we meet individuals with whom we become friends.Usualy, we meet potential friends in places that broth us together. These places can be work cites, schools or even house parties. We also meet friends through exiting friends. The friendship is formed if two individuals share same beliefs, and want to achieve same things. That is why I like my English class. In English class I always meet interesting people each semester. I’m so amazed with different culture and their history. I’m so glad that I can tell that some of these students from English class become my good friends and of course we share one think in common we came to the school to achieve our goals and learn proper English.  

My ordinary day

My ordinary day  Wednesday, and I will describe my ordinary day. I woke up seven thirty in the morning then I make breakfast for my son and made sure he got everything ready for school for that day. Then I took him to bus station, kiss him good bay and come back home, changed close and ready for my daily exercise. My daily exercise is usually forty minutes. When I finished with my exercise I came home and I took shower and I cooked food for lunch and diner. After that I and my husband had lunch usually around twelve at noon. Then after lunch I usually read my newspapers or book or do my mail or my homework. After I finished my reading around three o clock my son usually come back from school. Then I helped him with homework and one hour extra reading, and after that we have diner around five thirty all together. When we finished diner it was time to go to soccer practice for one hour and after soccer we go to piano classes and we usually came back home around eight. After we got home we spend time together playing or talking or sometime watching TV and then it is time to go to sleep, and that is my one in the week ordinary day.

EXERCISE

I think exercise is good for everyone to stay healthy and fit. I personally prefer soccer and running. Unlike many other sports running and soccer is something that just anyone can do it. I think those two sports give me lots of energy, burn my calories and give my hart and legs super good workout. I always fill well after doing exercise. I like soccer because I meet lots new friends and socializing before and after game; On the other, hand I like running because I could do running anywhere and I can either do it by myself or with a friend. If you never try soccer or running you should give it a try. You will have lots of fun.

In defense of food

In my summer class ESL 152 we have to read book call In defence of food,which i found super interesting and amazingly informative.There is many suprising things about food that i didn't know especialy about procesed food.I thought that food that we eat is natural with not that much chemical and substitute but reading this book make me realize that i realy want to know where this exactly food comes from.In the one part of the book author clearly explain to us,readiers,how process food could be harmles and how whole food is much better, also author advice us to avoid product that have health claims because helath clames is mostly strong indication that it's not real food.I think this book is good and i would refer this reading to most of my friends so everyone should know what they eat.

Teaching my child

Teaching my child is wonderful thing to do and to help him become fulfilled and productive person.My son is third grade and he is wonderful kid.Children always wondering what is going on around them,and my son always like to know more about  language, literature,history,geography,science, fine arts and math.I always try to help him to learn new academic subject that he need to know because we live in the new age of huge global information. I address my child directly as reader,asking question and suggest project that he might to do,i also take my son to plays museums, and concerts and we always try to visit new places because little children absorbs very quickly what they see or learn.I enjoy teaching my son about new information and i also learn sometimes from reading and seeing  something that i didn't know before.Teaching my son is fun!!

Wall Art

I like wall art and i have pictures all over the walls in my home, i call them my third passion, and is not just wall paintings i like sculptures and mosaics on the walls.Sometimes i paint  oil paintings but i don't have much time and when i see some beautiful painting in the gallery or in regular store i bay it.I found  paintings and any other wall arts is not just home decoration but something much more.In ancient Roman time wall art ,sculpture and mosaics  showed characters from that time and important historical events and traditional stories.That is way i think that wall decoration is not just decoration but something more.I think wall art is always wonder. We wonder many things about wall art but we'll just have to satisfy ourselves with admiring  drawing and we glad that we have them or paint or made them.

Travel

Travel include recreation or tourism , for holidays to visit people,relaxation or getting to know other culture. For me traveling is my other passion,i like to go to visit new places for relaxation and to fined about new culture.Whatever i have chance i go with my family to visit new country,or sometime over the weekend i go to visit cities or small towns in the United State.What is interesting for me also is architecture of new places.Every city or town have always something unique to see and explore.I visited many countries and i plan to visit Egypt one day because Egypt seem to me like very interesting place to see and explore.Egypt is a place with interesting ancient civilization-pyramids of Giza is particular interest to me.I would like to see some other places but for now my plan is to visit Egypt.

My pesion

I have many passion but one of them is playing piano,and it is my favorite.Music is for me  mean relaxation, love and world of colorful imagination.I started to play piano not that long ago,about one year and half and it is very funny how i started.My eight years old son started to play piano and to go to music school,so I as every parent,accompanied him on his practise classes.When was time for him to practise piano at home i had to stay by him and listen if he is doing wrong notes or right,which i didn't have no clue, then i begin to learn one by one lessons(funny thing what we do for kids)and little by little i begin to play songs, and that is where my passion for piano started.Today, i like to play because music make me feel happy and relax and every day I'm getting better.
