► 21 March 2014 : A minor setback feels like a big deal to you -- but it's mostly in your head. Try not to read too much into it this time and see what happens. You may still be grouchy, but at least you're not panicking! Today is not the time for an in-depth evaluation of a recent mistake you made. There will be plenty of time to go over what you did right and what you did wrong later on in the week. Today, you need to just take a break from all the self-examination and relax. Your emotions are just too close to the surface. They feel too fragile to be dissected. So just live in the moment today and allow yourself to have a good time. Deal with the fallout after you feel recharged and ready to go.
► 22 March 2014 : You're feeling quite good -- but maybe just a bit out of touch with your peers. That makes today perfect for focusing on personal projects, as you risk offending folks you work closely with. You need the distraction, and your friend needs the pleasure of your company. It's an even trade. You're going out, there's no doubt about it. It might be in a limo, en route to a delightfully formal evening, complete with a five-star restaurant and tickets to the opera. Or you might be heading over to a friend's place for pizza, beer and a movie. Who knows? More importantly, who cares?

A visit with no political motive? Oh yeah? So, what is this? Panda diplomacy? Recreation by using the state budget Uh uh, actually I do not know what the meaning of Panda Diplomacy, but well, at least she does not have to try hard to smile sincerely to Xi if what is in her mind is only Panda! Ehehehe ... why not? Panda is always funny to be remembered.
And it becomes very easy to sniff, "Why doesn't she go to visit Russia and meet with Putin, for example, with the same purpose of visit? Culture and education. So sweet. Culture and education. Promoting educational and cultural ties. Yeah? Can the culture of likes spying in the U.S. be well accepted in China, hm? Ehehehe... Dear madam, I tell you, the competition between the U.S. and China have led to the shape of the clash of civilizations, not just economic. And the competition is not about applause for Cute pandas. Hooray.
Just because Putin had divorced and Russia does not have a First Lady, it does not mean between Russia and China do not have equality. Even a similarity between them is very fundamental, related to the equation of ideology. And Putin does not have to pretend to smile at China just to show that they nod in an unspoken language, because the U.S. and China do not have a common ideology. More than
a diplomatic smile on the lips but frowning in mind.
She did this visit precedes Putin's visit to China -- to assert to the West that Russia has turned to the east and Russia does not need the West -- in May, and we are asked not to think other than the soft pandas visit? Moreover, is there a cultural equation between two countries where one says, "Hate someone? Shoot! Done."
Ehehhe, it is barbaric! And barbaric culture is the culture of the U.S., not China, nor the Chinese in the United States.
So?
Watch! How often U.S. appearance is represented by people who continue to talk without ever wants to think. They like the familial bond between them, and they are cheering to express their excitement, meaning that it takes place in consciousness without coercion. Meanwhile, you are always busy cursing Putin everywhere. Ouch, ouch, America, you are very embarrassing! Why do you like to embarrass yourself in the eyes of others? Well, it can not be denied, it is nevertheless part of your culture: Shameless!

■ Putin has 'lost Ukraine for good' says Tymoshenko
Tymoshenko, I don't like you. Sorry. You often make statements that are inconsistent with the facts. And what's worse is, you can not measure yourself. You say Russia has lost Ukraine to the fact that actually Ukraine has lost Russia. But you, a small country, do not want to admit it. I say this fact once again, "Ukraine, you have lost Russia". Do you know you have lost Russia for what purpose, hm? Why you can not measure the abilities and potential of your country? What does Ukraine have? And what does Russia have?
When you think Ukraine is under attack, you just kept quiet. You know why Ukraine is just silence? Because the U.S. is also just silent. Indeed, Obama is not silent, he's very diligent to talk and making rhetorical statements on Russia, but it's not important to be heard, because what needs to be underlined from his statement is no military invasion in Ukraine. Do you know why Obama says so? Because the U.S. so seeing Russia there. So, I tell you that a country -- which should be in America continent --- so excited to travel across the continent only to see Russia in Ukraine --- is just the U.S., Mrs. Gorgeous Braids!
Why? Because what is in the U.S. mind when landing in your continent is only Russia, not Ukraine or its mass movement on behalf of democracy to the coup over the legitimate government. Not at all! Such a strategy has always been a priority in the agenda of U.S. foreign policy, and you do not need to wink with the U.S. in front of the Russia. Moreover, do not blind your eyes that the current U.S. administration is also not too concerned with how the implementation of democracy in Myanmar, for example. Why? Because there is no Russia in Myanmar. And why the U.S. and you, too, are "very keen" on Russia, hm? That's what you need to answer to us. Ehehhee. Very love but saying hate, maybe? ehehheee, ... blah!
One more important thing: You, Ukraine, you can not feel you have become a superpower just because you are friends with the U.S. and EU, understand? You're just a piece of tail on the elephant's body. How can you feel proud to be the smallest in the last row?
And though in your eyes -- perhaps -- Russia was a kind of rooster, but for me the Russia is able to crow for himself and he becomes a marker for the Coming of the Morning. Marching for the Arrival of the Sun.

Oh, that ship rope, ... why do I suddenly want to cry when I saw it over longer than just seeing? Ah, ...no. No, this is too romantic, because I see it with the eyes of romance. And I do not want romantic things these days. No "Political Romanticism" today, Cisca!
(NOTE: The term of Romanticism emerged for the first time in the 18th century as a form of reaction to the rationality and intellectual power. This is a new movement that later inspired the character of this great country politician. Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his writings on Political Romanticism said that if the group romatisme saw the orphans, homeless, poor families living under bridges, or other social inequalities, then the true romance would cry when they see the reality, but they were unmoved to make changes to these conditions. They were touched when they saw the sad event, and they would come back to laugh out loud when they left such sad circumstances.)

Mmm ... actually I do not really understand what's wrong between them, but it seems this is not about the right of a child to prefer to live with his strong father than to live with his mother who has been found guilty of adultery in front of the child and his father. Ahahaha ....
Then a pair of adulterers could only bite their lips, respectively, while doubting the intensity of their current adultery when compared with honest motives of their relationship. (Who really want you, huh? I just want to taste you, you know? As a woman, you do not really beautiful. I just want to try out the power of your husband, you know? The legend says that your husband is a strong man from the East. Is it true?)
Eehhehe... how fun it is news. Olala, lalala ...dahliiing .... I can arrange a lot of stories of similar news. Moreover, to add the idea that now they are entitled to have a lot more new family members. In the door frame of their home written on a piece of wood, carved: "Welcome to the big family of Russia".
And I see lonely pair of adulterers are partying, ... well, a victory party which further confirms their sense of alienation among each other. Written in their foreheads, "Welcome to an oversight". Just feel it! How to find yourself as Delilah, Ukrainelah? hehehe ...
What? Ahahaha... Stop your stupid fantasy, Cisca! Ahahaha...

A new study demonstrates that your sense of smell is far more sensitive than you think and the world of scents is infinitely more varied. Previously, scientists thought humans could smell around 10,000 different odors

And I will always miss all the darkness in every corner, because of the scent. When my partner was making pancakes for our breakfast, its scent made me like being in my childhood, in a warm embrace my late daddy, with a memory of my beautiful mother smile. My partner never understood what a mistake he had done when he finished cooking only to find I was in tears, alone. But then I ate very heartily, hoping he would make more pancakes for me, every day, ... mmm ... ah, nope, ...I want it at any time. (Note: in a healthy state, without influenza)
