Last night I spoke to Giacomo because Inland Sea is obviously a very unique band, this band is Italian, yet writes excellent lyrics in english, performs in english and the type of instruments used to preduce their music, it is not usual or ordinary its different, new, it is really excellent. Up untill now the lead singer of Inland Sea (Paolo Spada) told me that they have up untill now only really played amongst their friends and Max another Ronchi78 artist told me that Italians are very private people they dont talk easily, well not like me, I am like I told dottore a colourful butterfly and when I love something will convince the planet that its the best and that everybody must have it, visit it, be part of it etc. hehehehehehe, I could sell an egg to a chicken when I am inspired hehehehehehe allora.....
So I spoke to Giacomo because I really love Inland Sea's music, now I am trying to get in contact with my friend in America who knows very important people in the music industry who just needs to one time listen to the CD of Inland Sea then Surprise, Inland Sea will then need body guards, but getting hold of my friend is not easy even if he is a good friend pfffff.

I will first need to speak to Paolo and everybody involved to hear what they want then we will see where this band will be in the future, if I get only yes, yes, yes, yes then my dear readers this concert might be the last concert where you can meet this band in Person and speak to them face to face....
Right now I am not promising anything, I am just sharing my thoughts and hopes with all of you.

Happy confusion...

As most of you may know by now, Inland Sea will be performing in Ronchi78 on the 9th of February 2011. This Concert will be an unforgettable evening for all Who will attend, because Inland Sea is really really amazing. Not just really really amazing but excellent. 
Alright I know, you have not heard of them but when I arrived in Milan I did not know about them either, only when I was about to leave this magical band reeled me in like a tuna fish, no a tuna fish is very difficult to reel in, more like a normal big eyed gold fish, and the first time I heard their music I was won over, I fell head over heels completely in love with the music and the lyrics, trust me I am a lover of excellent things, excellent music, excellent cuisine, excellent people, places and events so trust me they are excellent!!!!!!

I have not been writing sorry, I have been studying loads of Italian and  a very sweet person has been sobotaging all of My postings, reporting all of My writings as abusive. I wonder If this person knows what  the word abuse actually means and I am trying to understand the mentality of this person because I dont understand how somebody can sit, investigate what good others produce and would want to sabotage it, WoW it scares me because such a person must be carrying round so much hate, so much unacceptance, so much sadness and pain, I am worried about this person, please if you have been sabotaging all of My postings please contact me as soon as possible so that I can try help you, I am not upset with you, I forgive you, I am never angry only if you hurt animals, sick people, old people and children in front of me then I will turn into a demon, otherwise I mostly understand people or try to.

Normally for me if you Are human there is nothing new to learn, people Are people all that differentiates us is our cultures and languages, but of all the people I have met, mostly everybody thinks similar, depressed people thinks like depressed people and I can go on. 
Now if you come to me and tell me that you are ET, then you might interest the #*%=+# out of me, and I would probably warn you to stay away from NASA, hehehehe, but if you dont listen do not be afraid, I will come to visit you in the big water tube, I will come with My swimwear, hehehehe, no biscotti though it will get wet sorry, hehehehe...... 

Allora, Ahhhhhh I missed writing, I love writing, its My life, I missed writing right here, at My little corner table in Ronchi78, where the atmosphere is tranquil, the music enfolding sweet melodies into My ears that sends beautiful wavelengths to every cell in My body, where all the worry and tension dissapears and My mind as well as body enters a state of complete relaxation.......ouffffffff, I know I know, dont ask questions just accept please?

Now the concert..... To be continued on inlandseapalbertmusic.blogspot.com

"Annie" (1982) - Tomorrow

SMILE........!!!!!!!!!!

Ciao a tutti....

Ahhhh I love you all, ohhh dear I had such a relaxing day, I laughed a lot watching old movies and allora I giggled myself awake again this morning, It happens sometimes, pfffff I cannot help it and I don't know what I dream to laugh myself awake in the mornings because when I open my eyes I don't remember my dreams...... Mama Mia.

Last night was WONDERFUL at Ronchi78, ohhh I had so much fun but it was so busy, I don't know why because it is not Christmas, is it not supposed to be back to normal again?  I could only get a table before 12pm and later I spoke Giacomo silly again and then I fooled around singing I will survive on the microphone,  pheww its fantastic because it is live karaoke everybody is so relaxed and even if you sing terrible people loves it, its wonderful ohhh I love Ronchi78.  Everybody should come and visit, it is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!

Giacomo told me that in summer Ronchi is empty and then I felt like a beach party all of the sudden because summer was mentioned while I was having a good time..... ooooh just think, the beach, bikini, cocktail, HULA outfit, bonfire, cool sea water over your skin and SHAKE ITTTTTTT HULA STYLE with DRUMMMMMS and MARACAS, WOHOOOOOOOOOO, AI REEEEEEBA REEEEEEEEBA JAI JAI JAI....... OLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe Ronchi78 must get a swimming pool with some plants and a jacuzzi with a bar on the roof,  we can import beach sand ohhhhh and have beach parties all through summer...... fantastic IDEA, did I mention Giorgio Armani is looking for new models and they are installing video cameras all over Ronch78 to choose a few lucky girls, hehehehehe NOOOOOOO I'm joking, I just felt like giving everyone a minor heart attack for a second, sorry I am cruel I know, well nothing is impossible if you think about it...... pfffff nooooo I'm joking, I am just being amused that's all.......

Allora, WOHOOOOO yes this is a new year and from tomorrow I will be excersisng with Laura so I will not be able to be at Ronchi so much anymore, maybe during the weekends perhaps and definitely when INLAND SEA is going to play, ohhhhhh I hope they come soon for a concert at Ronchi I cannot wait!!!!!

I am happy because everybody is smiling again in Ronchi's and at home, ahhhh I just love it when everybody is happy, when everybody is happy I am happy and nobody needs to worry I will never disappear or leave nooooo I love everybody too much, I only disappear somehow when I am being treated badly or not appreciated or being taken advantage of and most of the time I don't plan to leave, it just happens, I cannot leave where there is happiness,  joy and love, all is good and nobody needs to worry about a thing.

I have been paying a little bit of attention to the boys that has been entering Ronchi because well I am a woman but I don't know, when it comes to romance I am old school and very stupid when it comes to hints or pick up lines, for example the other day a guy told me that when he looks at me I make him dizzy, so I replied "ohhh I am so sorry" and really being sorry because obviously I was thinking about healing methods or something constructive in my mind again, so this poor man looked puzzled at me and left, shame only after about 10 minutes I burst out laughing realising that the guy was using a pick-up line and giving me a compliment. uhahahahahaha I felt stupid, I am not used to guys being not sure or taking the lead. telling me straight and asking me out, being straight with me works but not by just meeting me telling me "hey I like you lets go to your room" that's insane!!!!! One thing about me is, is that I love romance and being treated special obviously, every woman likes to feel like a princess and our butts sugar coated.
I am a very deep woman, a hopeless romantic and I love love, I love falling in love, I love the stars, candles, soft music, private dinner, slow dancing, slowwwwww hand, soft touch, kissed feverishly, my head then all dizzzzzy and smiling, then ufffffffffffffffffffff beautifullllll prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrFECT..... obviously waking up with a smile on my face feeling all fuzzy satisfied and de-flowered, hehehehehehe...... OHHHH DIO!!!!!!

Also for me when I meet a guy lately I think in the back of my head if everybody in Ronchi will approve of him, if everybody at home (Mirko, Laura, Pierepaolo, Edoardo, Ludivico etc) will approve of him, if the football team will approve of him and if there is one sign that someone might not approve I loose interest very quickly and I don't know why I feel like this, its so strange. Sigh, I can start the Bachelorette here already ufffff (sigh).

OK I am going to stop writing now because I want to sleep.....

Buonna notte a tutti!!!!

Tanti baci e Amore Sempre!!!!!!

The young the old and the beautiful......

Ahhhh recently a great amount of love has been entering and filling My core, My chest area and it is because of the enormous amount of laughter and joy that old Italian grandmothers, amazing Italian mothers as well as children has been adding to my life and one particular baby boy that completely stole My heart and another 2 little boys, ouffff, little Ludovico, Edoardo and Pierepaolo, ahhhh the most content and happiest almost 7 month old boy, the cutest 5 year old Edo and the very responsible Pierre.... Priceless.

Babies are so increadible, the little features, hands and ohh my goodness the laughter, when a baby laughs to me it is the most beautiful and joyful sound in the world it makes me so excited and happy as well as warm, fuzzy and dizzy, ohhh too much love.

2 Nights ago, I was in Ronchi78 it was just before it was time to close for the night and the guests down stairs that was dancing and singing with Paolo the musician, drew their eveing to a close, they were paying their accounts and leaving.
Standing at the bar and greeting all the guests as they left this one amusing family caught My attention, ohh dear, it was a grandfather and grandmother that had an awesome evening with their children or grand children but they were all adults, hahahaha, the grandfather was smiling at me all the time and the grandmother was dancing and so full of life she just stole My heart, ahhhh.
Before this amazing little Italian woman left Ronchi she stopped when she saw me and asked me if I would be one of her son's girlfriend, I told her ok because obviously she was joking, then she pointed to her son and asked me if I liked him hahahahahahaha, ohhh dear the son or grandson looked so embarrest and she was just too cute, hahahahahaha, BELLISSIMA!!!!!
Old people facinates me, they carry round within them almost one century's knowledge and experiences, you can ask them anything. The grandmothers have almost one century of recipies stored in their minds as well as remedies, it is increadible like a walking living, caring, sweet adorable warm trustworthy gentle library and you can hug them, talk to them do things for them help them ahhhh it is beautiful.

About a month ago I was speaking to Mirko about My grandfather that has passed away because of cancer when I was 17. My relationship with My grandfather was very strange, for 17 years My grandfather never showed me affection or even spoke to me, yet I was his only grandaughter. My brother and myself Who was his only granchildren went to visit him every school holiday but he had his busineses so we never saw him.
One year before My grandfather passed away I knew that My time with him was limited so I thought to myself  "Enough is Enough, I am going to force him to speak and spend time with me, I am going to become his personal poltergeist" so I did, I started by sitting with him at the breakfast table every morning talking to him and asking him 20 0000 questions. His replies were short without feeling and he looked very confused. Sundays were the only day when he was not working and he was not a person that could sleep in the afternoon, me neither so he would go into the gerage looking at his new branch trimming toy's and then walk round in the garden trimming the tree branches, so I would walk behind him picking up the branches that fell onto the ground after he cut them just to help him so that he does not have to bend afterwards to pick up all the branches. He noticed me following him and helping him then he would say in afrikaans "n bietjie beter met n bietjie botter", it means directly translated "a little bit better with a little bit of butter", meaning that it looks better now that it is trimmed. I thought that this rime was absolutely beautiful and I always walked behind him giggling every time he said this rhyming phrase, hehehehe he would smile as I would giggle.
I remember that the branches I collected as he would CUT them off of the trees had many thorns and these thorns were cutting My hands badly, but I did not care, the time with him was too precious to complain about My hands bleeding. My grandfather noticed the blood on My hands but said noting, he looked shocked after a while when he saw that after an hour of giggling behind him with really bloody hands and could not understand why I didnt care about the pain.
The time with him was far more precious to me than to worry about My freshly CUT bruises, from that moment our relationship started to develop, he was curious to know why this child would hurt herself to spend time with him, he wanted to get to know me. For my grandfather, he never knew that love does not cost a thing, he never knew that all he had to do and all I wanted from him was just to spend time with me, hehehehehe the last year of his life was wonderful but difficult, I finally had a real grandfather that loved me, ahhh he was so sweet and I could not stop spending time with him, his cancer killed me too, not to be able to help someone you love or to take away their pain killed me slowly, all I could do was be there for him 1000% for anything he needed, I massaged him on the painful areas but it didnt help, when he needed anything it was there it was done.

Our birthdays were two days apart, his birthday was on the 18th of October and mine is on the 20th of October he was exactly 50 years and two days older than me and I loved buying him presents, A year before he passed away for his birthday I baught him 2 work shirts one black and another dark blue he looked very good in dark colours and I would tell him that too, his last days those two shirts were the only two shirts he wore. He was always facinated with his gift bags I normally gave with his presents and 2 days afterwards on my birthday he would come with a very tiny gift bag and inside the little gift bag was money hehehehehe.
I also sent him an sms every morning before I went to school then in the afternoon he would give me money because of one simple sms, what I would do then is take the cash and buy chocolates as well as sweets cookies and milo, water etc and then we would have a picknick on his bed, hahahaha ahhh the memories of his last month are priceless but it killed me as I saw how the cancer took toll on him every day.
In the last year of his life I had to have incredibile self controll because his wife. My step grandmother treated him bad and it only got worse the weaker he got, the one day he asked his wife to please get his coat because he was feeling cold, ohhh I was sitting NeXT to him when she trew a fit walked out of the living room returned and trew his coat right into his face, ohhh dear God, anger arose in me like I have never felt before I wanted to se this woman being slowly tortured to death, but I kept My face staight and My voice pleasant and helped My grandfather to put on his coat. When someone is dying of an illness it is important to keep their environments as peaceful, happy, luxurious and joyful as much as humanly possible.
The one afternoon we were still having our picknick, he then took out all my lille gifts I gave him from when I was 7 years old. When I was 7 I gave him a little business card size black suitcase for all his business cards, that day he gave it back to me exactly as I gave it to him 10 years before, inside was still my 7 year old handwriting wishing him happy birthday,. for me that broke my heart because all the years I thought he did not care about me, he loved me, he just never knew how to show me, that day I knew and I was happy but sad, it was his gift I didn't want it back, I wanted him to stay.

My grandfathers last days were terrible and I was exhausted, all he wanted was me, when I left or was not close he would look around in panick, so I stayed in his hospital room by his bed, rubbing his feet, rubbing his back, helping him eat, speaking to him, holding his hand. The morning before he passed I put right his daily boxers and vest, it was a white vest with red boxers the cartoon on the boxers were little devils and underneath it said naughty devil.
His last moments were strange, he kept looking at an empty corner in the room with a smile on his face while squeezing My hand with all his might, My hand was numb after a while but it did not matter.
While he was breathing his last breath I was telling him how much I loved him and that one day I will see him again, I also kissed the top of his head and rubbed his ears for the last time, I was the only one that could touch his ears, the last breath and the last look was not pretty so I walked out of the room emotionless, not crying not saying a word, I died again that day, there were no more tears, I was dried up, I had mo more emotion to be sad even I was just existing again.
The next day I went to go select his coffin and select the flowers because if I did not do this his wife would have chosen a shoe box if she could, just to pocket more money, disgusting pffff.

For me, if you hurt children, old people, Ill people or animals in front of me Uffff there is no words to describe how upset I feel, it is in my sight forbidden and not even thought of because I get too furious, if I had to be a cartoon character I would explode of fury and shoot the person with a shotgun afterwards feed him to the pigs then burn the bastard and poohp on his ashes. Sorry it's just how I feel, I do not have the heart to actually do it, I cannot even hurt an ant conciously, I'm just describing my feelings.

Children and old people as well as Ill people and animals are so dependent on a physical person for comfort, help, as well as survival, they cannot be alone or look after themselves it is so important to be kind and look after these four groups of beings. They are innocent and need to be taken care of with love.

Oki doki I am exhausted and think that I have written quite a bit today...

I will write again soon..

Amore Sempre

While in Pisa.....

CIAOOOOOOOOOO....

Dammi febre, quando baci mi ..... Hhehehehehehe.. Ooh Dio.

Elvis Presley - Fever

a perfect ending and a lovely start to a new year............

Before the ending of 2010 I started to get a bit upset because Ronchi78 was too busy, there were too many people, every-time I entered no matter when, it was unbelievably full, it was not my peaceful heaven anymore it was Rome, it was insane it drove me crazy, I was really sad. Everybody let me know that Ronchi78 will be closed for one full week before during and after new years eve. Well I had to accept this obviously but I was in Ronchi78 almost the whole day before they closed for a whole week.... I was worried because I miss Ronchi just being one day away from it, it drives me crazy.

The last evening I spent in Ronchi78 of 2010 it was magical because it was finally peaceful, it is as if heaven granted me Ronchi the end of the year with the same tranquility as I entered it.
It was wonderful, there was not many people, the atmosphere was very peaceful, Christmas lights and decorations everywhere, the atmosphere was very relaxed the lights were soft and everybody was very tranquil.
There were one table where the family was from Spain but spoke with British accents, then there the architect of Ronchi and his beautiful sweet wife also a man from Holland I could comfortably speak to in my mother tongue without a problem it was magical I loved it. There were no craziness what so ever, everybody was relaxed, Max who is obviously a brilliant artist, guitar player and singer entertained all the guests with music, there were also a boy from France or somewhere that also plays guitar where Max took out the Maracas, ohhh how I love the Maracas........... it was absolutely beautiful, what a perfect ending to the year 2010 with Ronchi78, I loved it very much!!!!

New years was amazing, ahhh wow nobody has ever eaten before, before eating in Italy the way Italians cook and eat oh dear, unbelievable! Everything you have ever read about Italian cuisine is absolutely true. The food they make in Ronchis most of the time is like art work, Italy is an art everybody is an artist whether you produce food, whether you write songs and sing it just even on the street, it is unbelievable, its like everybody is born with artistic talent.

In the start of the new year after the actual new years eve I went to Pisa to visit a friend, ohh dear the Tower is really skew and it is really small too, I expected, coming from Milan and Rome for it to be bigger, it was not, it was really tiny but beautiful... Everything was tiny the town, the tower oh but the coastal drive was absolutely beautiful  too, we took a drive to Chinque Terre which was incredible....

At the moment Ronchi78 is open again and all my decorations are gone, sigh, and everybody look s sad all of the sudden or very tired or something, nobody is smiling that much and some have the fever, hehehehehehe.... Laura and I have been laughing ourselves almost silly because she cannot speak or understand English and I now understand Italian but actually putting phrases together is still a bit difficult for me. Yesterday she asked me in Italian how you say fever in English, I told her and she she said "ahhhhhh" and started to sing the song "fever" from Elvis Presley or Micheal Buble hahahahahahaha. For Laura it is very difficult to pronounce English words,  just even the basics like "hallo how are you" and then also to respond she has difficulty to pronounce "I am fine thank you" its really funny, so I told her to remember Captain Hook, "arrrrrrrrr mateeees" now every-time she asks me "how arrrrrrrrrrrre you" she is adding the sound of captain hook as well as forming her hand into a hook when she says it.
Two days ago we were sitting with little 6 month old Ludovico on the bed and she was singing to lite Ludo "Batti batti le mani" clapping his hands together, so she asked me how to say "batti le mani" in English, at that moment I had no idea that "batti le mani" meant "clap your hands" eventually I figured out that "batti"means clap and Laura showed the meaning of "mani" by rubbing her index fingers as well as her thumbs together so I thought "mani" meant "money", so we were sitting on the bed singing to Ludovic "clap clap for money" hahahahahaha it did not even rhyme and I thought that "wow Italians sings strange songs to their babies",  it was really very funny I almost pee'd in my pants that is how much I laughed.
Allora, I don't know, there is not one day that passes in my life where I do not laugh or smile, for me it is impossible to go through one day without laughing or being amused, I love my life it is beautiful magical as well as absolutely unpredictable.

Allora my power is running low, I will write again soon....

baci

miiinkia..........

Ciaoooooo all of you beautiful people!!!!!! Ohhhhh I miss Ronchi78, it has been almost closed for a week now, ohhhh dear I am dying and tomorrow I am going to la Spezia to visit il mio amica for the weekend, mama mia..... so I will only be able to go to Ronchi78 on monday or Teusday next week, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I miss GIACOMO!!!!

Ahh I miss the football team as well as Mirko, Laura and the kids they are in the Mountains and I miss Max and all the crazy singers and staff at Ronchi78 I miss my family ahhh one week is too long, oh dear what am I going to do? Maybe I should paint something? Perhaps that will help? hahahaha they all go on holiday for one week, come back and I turned into Picasso studying stock markets hahahahaha well, never a dull moment with me hehehehe.

Ohhh I decided that I need to explain a bit more to all of you about decorating Ronchi78 but not now, I truly want to share a memory with you that I have been remembering since Mirko and I spoke about deep sea fishing and the motors of the boats..... its really funny and it was a lot of fun for me, I was captain of a fiberglass 5hp (engine power) boat about 4 years ago in South Africa on the Keurboomsriver in Plettenberg bay about 30km from Knysna on the N2 in the Wrestern Cape, Pheeeeeeeeew............ breathe ......

It was the time when myself and my ex fiance was still together, my ex and the crew were doing a mini series called Robinson Crueso or something in Plettenberg bay.
When they started to film the Mini series just before I went up to him in Plettenberg bay he phoned me the one day all excited saying that he baught a boat of the internet and to please contact his friend Greg with his big Mini Van to go and collect it in Saldannah bay, I was shocked normally couples plan things, a woman does not expect her guy to randomly call to go and collect a fiberglass boat and have trouble tying it down onto the roof of a big mini van and drive it from Saldanah to cape town in very windy conditions with his best friend, ohhh but I loved him at the time so I agreed, ufff.

The weekend after we collected the boat my ex drove through from Plettenberg bay to collect myself and his new Ferry, he was so happy because we were for the next two months in our spare time going to go fishing on the Keurboomsriver in the middle of winter where we never caught a fish because it was winter hahahahahaha, we tried daily though....

I had fun because I was the lightest well because I was the only girl but I had a very special talent, I could spot all the sandbanks through the water so when the tide was low I was captain of the little fiberglass 5hp RED YAMAHA motor WoHooooooo. Normally what we did was invite his friends with to come and fish with us then they would carry the boat from the tree where we locked it up and left it and carry the boat into the river, the boat was heavy so we all carried it. I usually had to be captain first because it was low tide normally when we entered the water, ohhhhh it was fun, I would sit and steer the little motor, then when I saw a sandbank I would yell out load "FOREWARD" then they will lean forward and only the bottom pellers of the motor would touch the water and move slowly forward while I was sitting in the air, it was like a see saw it was fabulous I loved it, ahhhh the good times......
....like Lilu my Uno Fiat I sold eventually because she cost me R45000 a year just to fix all the time, it was very funny, I would drive and the the bumper would fall off hahahahahaha, ohhh dear luckily at night when I was on my way out and then I would jump out of the car run, pick up my bumper squeeze it into my back seat and drive back to my apartment very quickly. hahahahahaa my first car stories, when I think back I laugh myself silly hahahahahaha.... at that time I could afford a much better car cash but my dear Uno Lilu only broke when she was really tired which was once a week hahahahaahhahha..... I miss her sometimes, I prayed a lot for her, eventually I had to let her go, she was too old and fell apart. Crazy and difficult times yet one memory is like vintage, priceless.

Ahhhhhhh, I was wondering earlier about my recent crazy memories I have been investing in, ohhh my children will know Ronchi78 most definitely and someone will tell them one day what crazy stuff I did since I landed in Milan, hehehehehehe.
Makes me think sometimes, what do we work for? We work for happy memories well I do, do you? What do you work for? Who do you work and you survive for? Are you happy? What do YOU want? Who are you? These are questions worth asking yourself sometimes..... if you are not appreciated, respected or happy then DONT, stop, smell the roses and go find your happiness, everybody deserves the best...

Allora I will write again soon......

Presente e possato, Christmas and the joy of giving........

First of all I want to apologise for not writing lately it was Christmas, I had a wonderful Christmas followed with a terrible flu and I have been very emotional, just because many many many years ago I have been in a very big family, well not that big but it has been the first Christmas in 13 years where I witnessed once again happy holidays and a festive Christmas with the family loving and happy, ohhh wow it was magical but it made me emotional, it brought back memories I have not wanted to recall and tried to avoid during Christmas time every year. I love Christmas time, I forgot how I do not particularly prefer Christmas day itself because Im normally alone.
This year I entered Christmas day with the most amazing family, we had dinner, laughed so much and I finally received a present I did not have to buy myself, it means so much to me, I am sad but really happy, maybe overwhelmed and not used to this anymore, dear I have difficulty asking any human being for any type of help.... it came in handy over the years, I can change plugs, tile floors, fix my own tumble dryer if I did not know I buy a book to help me, in my vocabulary EVERYTHING is do-able, well not in a sexual type of way but uffffff, you know what I mean....

Now I want to recall back beautiful memories and tell you about the gifts first that might seem strange to all of you that I just came in and placed, added and decorated in Ronchi78, its really funny and ohhhh I loved every second of it and nobody stopped me, Giacomo just stood aside and watched as I started to decorate starting with a cookbook followed by a Vuvuzela then an abundance of Vuvuzelas.............. and the story continues......

Within my second week in Milan and Ronchi78 I took the Metro to Duomo station for the reason to visit the Duomo, I walked around in the station and saw a shop selling Vuvuzelas, ohhh dear I immediately thought about Ronchi78 as well as Giacomo, he called me Vuvuzela and even mimicked holding a vuvuzela in his hand making the sound every time he saw me hehehehe.....
So I bought a Vuvuzela and took it to Ronchi78 at once.
When I entered Ronchi78 and Giacomo saw the Vuvuzela ohh dear he was like a little boy he took it and walked around not being able to look me in the eyes because he was happy, I could see the gratitude and gratitude is absolutely beautiful to me, I love giving when what is given is appreciated. I then left to go to Duomo just savoring the memory... it was wonderful...
My next gift to ROnchi78 was then another 8 Vuvuzelas, at that time I bonded very much with the football team and had so much fun that I forgot that I had to fly away from Italy, I stayed in Italy but the morning before I was supposed to leave Italy, I bought all the football players each a Vuvuzela and took it to Ronchi78.... I know it was strange.... I could not properly communicate with these people but I buy them presents, but It felt so good I was so happy..

The following monday I surprised Ronchis by visiting and letting Giacomo as well as max know that I stayed and never left, I was really happy and then I went and bought Ronchi78 a little Christmas tree.
Every dsy I entered Ronchis decorating it with something new, pretty christmas balls, christmas decorations, christmas socks, lights I even bought little cafe cups from Germany you name it, I got it, Giacomo said nothing he just kept quiet as I decorated, even the puppet lady that is placed in one corner of the restaurant (I call nonna) got a new apron and a shef hat engraved with the name Ronchi78 on it.
Ahhhh I loved it, I absolutely enjoyed every second of it decorating, choosing the decorations ahhh it was wonderful, to finish I bought a wish box and filled it with Ferrero chocolates too, Still not really communicating just eye contact, smiling and decorating hahahaha, yes it was the strangest situation, I was just following my heart and I was happy, really happy so it was all good.

After decorating in the evenings as I left Ronchi78 there was a man selling roses and he begged me to please buy roses from him, I buaght three. As I was on my way back to my hotel I noticed an old lady with her husband, walking hand in hand late at night peeping through a jewellery shops window explaining to her husband in Italian about some jewelry piece she liked.
I then suddenly stopped and decided to give this lady my roses, I first smelled them once again, walked right up to her and held it out to her, she first refused because she thought I wanted money for it but she took them when she investigated me quickly up and down looking at how I was dressed. Everybody in Milan wants to give you roses but wants money afterwards, I know its cruel, the first time some guy came to me, offered me roses and I smiled saying thank you then he told me forcefully how much he wanted for them so I was sad and gave them back at once. Afterwards I thought about how lovely it would be receiving roses without having to pay for them, I did later on I received 5 roses and I hung them in Ronchi78, hehehehehe.

I don't know what it is about Ronchis that draws me in so much, its unexplainable, its a very strange situation.... which I really do not want to analyze right now.

Noooo Im going to keep the analyzing for January, its still Christmas month..... ohh yesssss.

Christmas itself was wonderful and for me to explain it, I would have to lie, for me it was a memory so precious no money will be able to buy it......
This world may have thieves in it, it may have killers in it Thank GOD it does not have memory thieves in it, ohhhh dear, no no no that would be terrible....

I am sorry if my writing this time is not so amusing or funny, the reasons being are feelings of overwhelming emotions and a flu....

I will write again soon......

.....ta di da di dum....

I am in the process of thinking, not thinking about what to write but thinking about many things..... you will not believe me if I had to tell what is going through my mind, perhaps you will believe me, my thoughts are normal for once......
I am wondering if I am making the right choices for myself and so on, perhaps investing, well it does not matter where I go, the next step for me is to invest and expand. Investing either time or money or both. I just want to do it where my heart is and where I am happiest.

Wherever I know I am headed the future holds only a solid ground where I cannot just fly away easily, I will just have to see where to manifest and spread my golden roots, its time, I feel it, Its sacry but exciting aswell..... I love a little danger, excitement and a challenge mhwa ha ha ;-D

I have really been amused, Giacomo and I spoke about relationships in Milan. As most wonderful and kind gentlemen have tried to persue me with speach I found it really interesting but not bedazzled at all. ....

....WAIT, I went to go make myself some tea, relaxed for a moment and my mind went down memory lane, hahahahah if you have been reading the blog and if you have been amused hahaha you will love this story....

I was about 5 years old, my brother and myself were playing outside I was trying to climb a tree and my brother was playing with his pallet gun. My brother have this crazy ability that whenever he shoots with a gun into the air it hits a bird, its amazing....
So I was busy climbing the tree, my brother without really paying attention took his pallet gun and just shot into the sky without even looking, PHEWWWWwwwwwww Boooop, there a pigione fell onto the ground, MAMA MIA.......

...Imagine me 5 years old yelling with my tone of voice in shock at my brother telling him to go get the surgical sissors!!!!! My brother did not argue he just did as he was told.
At that moment all that was going through my litte mind was "how to perform an operation on a bird", my brother returned with the surgical sissors and a pair of tweezers, I took it at once and whooops in I went with the sissors and the tweezers tring to find the bullet, oh dear, I felt such a panick, I was tring my best to find the bullet and I was not sure if the bird was alive or just passed out from the pain.... I looked and looked and could not find anything so I turned my head to my brother and told him that I think he killed the bird....

My brother then felt so bad he started to cry but I told him not to worry, all that he must do now is to please dig a hole in the backyard while I prepare the funeral ceremony...
My brother then once again did as he was told, I went to get the bible and a shoe box to place the pigione in it and when I went into the backyard I asked my brother to read the bible, I could not read the big words at that time, so he read the bible afterwards we prayed, we then placed the shoe box with the pigione in it into the ground covered it with ground and we sang bible songs to end the ceremony..... my brother felt better afterwards but I felt terrible for not being albe to save it, ufff I suppose I was 5 years old and performing surgery is not recommended, atleast I tried and over the years with the image of that experience in my mind I realised where I have gone wrong, the fact was that I think the pigione died when he hit the ground, but if I had to perform immediate surgery on a bird again today, I might be albe to save it, well I hope so?....

Yes I was a very strange child, I was a very alone child, always busy with some strange things in my mind, I did not care much about what was going on round me, as long as I had my Cinderella book and my video tape of Beauty and the Beast I was ok, my imagination was big enough to keep me entertained for 20 lifetimes, ohh dear you should have seen me when I wached toy story for the first time, I literally layed awake in bed pretending to sleep peeping through one eyelid to see if my dolls came alive, they never did, ohh I was so dissapointed.
As a child before school my friend was nature and I was always speaking to someone I knew was there but could not see, and I always asked the most impossibile questions about geography.

The one day I went to my mother and asked her where the thunder come from, she told me "Thunder is God being angry at you for being naughty and that He wants to give you a hiding", I was really puzzled because I never did anything wrong, Why would God want to be angry I thought, so the one day the thunder arrived again and I sat on the dining room table yelling back after every thunder strike "NOOOO I was not bad, dont be angry, leave me alone!!!!", I talked to the sea too, I told the waves not to pull me in and when the current did not pull me in I appraised the waves saying "Good Mr Sea" but when the waves pulled me in I got frightened, ran out onto the beach, stood in front of the sea and said with a very dissapointed and serious look on my face "Bad Mr Sea, I asked you nicely not to pull me in." hahahahaha I probably looked strange to the passer by's, hehehehehe, these are only a few memories I have stored in my mind up to the age of 7, uff If I had to write about everything it will never stop, my most valuable memories are the ones spent with my father, I do not have one bad memory of my father, it was only always love, laughter, fun and he was really crazy protective over me, he loved me more than anything else on the planet, he literally would have killed and died for me, he was a very good man and thaught me what true unconditional love was, the most valuable lesson of all, my first nine years of my life was was only happiness, security, stability, laughter, joy, beautiful memories, protection, love and light, more than what most people has had in an entire lifetime.
My deceased father I will love unconditionally, remember and respect untill I have to pass on day. I was truly blessed to have had my father even though it was short, it was priceless.

I am tired and really want to sleep.

Buona Notte!!!!

I will write again soon this time about my adventure again @Ronchi78...

Scuola to Ronchi78

The monday after my wonderful evening I spent outside and could only take the metro back to my hotel the next morning, I went to school and Daniel my wonderful German friend asked if I will please book a table at Ronchi's for 8 people for the coming friday so I agreed.

The next couple of days I did not say anything to Giacomo, I waited untill I had a second confirmation from Daniel to actually book a table for 8 for the friday at Ronchi78.
So the Wednesday I went to Giacomo and booked the table.
In Italy, if you go to any restaurant you have to eat, thats just how it is. Then there are bar's where you have a choice, at a bar you can drink or eat or both. There Are café's where you can choose to drink café and eat or just drink cafe etc.
Then you get a chocolate bar a pizzeria where you cannot drink alcohol but eat pizza etc, I am not completely sure of these facts but I do know that in a restuarant you cannot just drink, at Ronchi78 normaly the guests book a table then they eat and just stay and drink with the music afterwards, so for me to book a tabe for 8 is a booking which means 8 heads, which means many sitting space, which brings in money for Ronchi's.

The friday arrived and Daniel told me to meet them in Brera because they were having an appellativo first. When I arrived to meet them Daniel's girlfriend was all confused and when we all arrived at Ronchi78 they were all full and did not want to eat.
I was upset, embarrest and felt like punching Daniel.
You do not make plans book a table at a restaurant and then when the time arrives make different plans, I wAs really angry because now I felt like an idiot in front of Giacomo, I dissapointed Giacomo and ufff I was upset.
They asked Giacomo if it was ok if they just drink, I could see Giacomo was upset with me and ohhh I felt so angry with Daniel, I did not want Giacomo upset with me it broke my heart and Giacomo the gentleman he is said that it was alright but giving me the upset eye stare, it Made me crazy. I really felt embarrest and really bad.

Allora, so I could see that the other guests wanted more of a discoteca theme and that is not what Ronchi78 is about. Ronchi78 is very classy,, live music, live karaoke, fun and festive. There Are no copious amounts of alcohol and drunk people dancing and falling everywhere, no there Are happy relaxed classy and balanced people singing, laughing, dancing, having fun, eating,, drinking, talking, it is wonderful.

Allora, Daniel did apologise for the evening and I forgave him, he perhaps did not know that booking a table meant that they had to eat.

Allora, right at this moment I am very relaxed I spent time earlier with little Ludevic, I do not know exactly how to spell his name but he is 6 Months old and smiles all the time. Today was his first day that he ate real food and Laura ohh dear it was beautiful.
I love babies they Are the biggest blessings from heaven, when a baby smiles and laugh ohhh dear My heart melts with love and joy, babies Are magical.



I will write again soon.....

Adrenalin.....

Last night at Ronchi78 it was awesome, Paolo as well as Fabio sang music, it was wonderful, I spoke to Dottore and told him that I am a butterfly, we also spoke about Italian architecture so he explained to me a bit about his Office being built in the 17th Century and his home right on top of his Office that was built in the 15th Century, Amazing!!!!!
So I told Dottore that I would love to see his building, he replied "why not?" then I said "perfect I will bring some biscotti."

I was everywhere again last night and this strange man kept talking to me his girlfriend was with him and she was not fortunate looking at all, they were con artists I think, let me explain why.

Giacomo and myself were Busy with the Inland Sea blog, many guests then came walking up the stairs to pay and Giacomo was occupied once again, so I decided to go downstairs to speak to Fabio, we spoke about his school children when the strange man was suddenly downstairs with us.
It was really odd because I remember that I already greeted him and his lady earlier because they were leaving.
I then asked his why he came back but he had this crazy, scary, angry look in his face and he babbled something in Italian then he pushed me in My face. I got such a big fright, all the staff then told me just to stay downstairs. I was frightened, My heart was beating 1000 beats a minute, I then waited for a little while downstairs then I went upstairs.
This man was now accusing Giacomo or somebody of stealing his girlfriend's credit card, nobody in Ronchi78 will take anything from anybody, it is the safest and most honest place on the planet.
The guy was very aggressive.
I was realy frightened to walk home alone at that point but Giacomo called friends to accompany me back home, while we were outside waiting for my companions, we heard fighting around the corner, apparently this crazy man started to attack  a CAR guard, shame poor car guard man.

Giacomo and Max then ran to help, shame they are such good men and they told me to go and that I will be safe. I trust them completely with My whole heart so I knew that I would be safe.

I then took a stroll around the Duomo, but I was very worried about Giacomo and Max the thought of Giacomo, Max anybody in the Family getting hurt disturbed My spirit, I was really worried about them. I took a stroll around the Duomo because apart from Ronchi's the Duomo has the most peaceful effect on me. It did not help, so I left the Duomo to go to bed.

This afternoon when I went to Ronchi's Giacomo and Max were in perfect unscratched conditions, ohh I was so happy then Max told me that the pollice intervined, they arrested the crazy man and that the pollice also followed me while I was walking home so they knew that I took a stroll round the Duomo, luckily I did not hug the Duomo like I normaly do otherwise the poor police men might have thought that I was mentaly disturbed, hehehehe.

Allora, I wish you all a beautiful evening and I hope you all have a magical weekend.

Amore Sempre
