communism in romania

i am coming from a rich armenian family. sadly they lost everything in the communism time. but kept few jewels for their two daughters. and my mom had only me. bad times i am not rich. but i am a princes. no kidding now. i am coming from a blue blood armenian family. they raned away because of the communists and found here other communists. but my grandpop was the poor of the family. he was the 9th kid. all boys. so for him remainded almost nothing to give.

my father was a surgeon. i say was because he doesn't exist for me, but he is alife, practicing. my mommy is economist and was a beauty. and if i say beauty, believe me, it is true. she was very nice and gentle person. just at home and at job. my pop was taking her every day and left her at her job and then came to take her home. she lives with me and my son.

she was 32 when they had a long walk. i was with them and saw him getting angry. she was wearing a new dress and looked just splendid. all men were looking after her, wished for her we stopped in a place, me and mom we had some juices and he drank 500 ml of cognac in twenty minutes.

he was dizzy and came back home. had dinner and he gave me a pill and obliged me take it. after 10 or 15 minutes i felt bit sleepy but my stomach couldn't stand that pill. throwed it out. was our luck. in another 10 min. i was deeply asleeped because that pill was something very strong, for adults.

i waked up fast, with the impression that something wrong, totally wrong was happening. i went in their room. in a corner was my mom. almost death, covered in blood, with knife cuttes all over her body, especialy legs - by the way i have got mine from her - breasts, face and hands - she tried to protect herself. i saw him, he was like a wild animal and i just took a chair and broked it in his head.

then i took my mom, she wasn't able to move, washed her a bit like it was important, and called emergency. in that time my father was the manager of the emergency station. so, they brought me lot of blood, catgut (this is for sewing wounds) and left me alone.

she passed out and my mom was dying. i was the one that took that chair. i tried protect her. it was about 11 pm. i took her easy, and bit by bit, also with some help from her, took her in my room, took all that i had for her, lot of water and locked the door. first it was a hard work to find a veine for a transfusion. she lost too much blood.

my luck is im not impressed by blood because i have seen lot of similar things in hospital since i was five. when i put the transfusion, had analgesic spray and sprayed her cuts one by one and sewed them. but like a kid not like a surgeon.

the result was that i saved her life, stopped bleeding, but she needed another operation to straight those wounds. it took me all the time untill 7 in the morning. she had 118 cuts. some of them very deep. some of them 40 cm long. in the next morning my mom was alife.

the animal waked up and could not believe what he done, but i already hated him for the rest of his life, and i was kid no more. but why your father get angry during walk? i know. and i am normal, and this is another miracle because she was too prety and didn't want other man look at her.

still unbelievable. well, that is why i am strong. and sometimes i think too much. and sometimes i am very bitter but still smiling. and believe me, when there is a athmosferic change she has terrible pains in all that old cuts.

when i was tooken from school, was in the 3-rd grade, they tried first to convince me to tell. i couldn't talk to mom to know what i must say or not. so i told nothing. and one of the police men droped "by accident" a piece of heavy metal on my hand. he broked me two fingers. never trusted them again. was shure they want a scandel not the true. when i came home, mom, who was in such a bad condition cried for my fingers. i sweared ill never cry. well, i was talking only about police.

and if i didn't trust you i never would tell you my so sad story i am ok. always was ok. ever think that id could be worse. and mom is happy with me and my son. as for my father, didn't even see his face in the last 25 years. now i don't feel anything for him. a long time i hated him. now he is drowned in my indifference. does'nt matter if he is rich or poor, healthy or ill, alife or death. he is no more, don't know him, words spoken from my friend dumiflorin.

socialism in bulgaria

what do you want to know? i want it all, from the beginning, but it is time consuming and first of all nobody lived in communism. there was socialism and developed socialism communism is an utopy ask questions. i will try to answer. i have time now.

why is communism an utopy (of cause it is), because human nature is not apt for it. communism means that we must work the same. consume the same things. need the same things. it's against the human nature. we are different not only in the way we look. in our feelings desires otherwise we would be robots if you look carefully in the communistic theory. it is made for people who are absolutely the same. impossible.

yes right, besides i never thought that stalin was an idealist. so there was only socialism. stalin was a maniac depressive, hitler was in the third stadium of syphilis. neurosyphilis. the biggest question is, why people tends to follow insanity and kill each other for that hitler. when he was young he was infected with syphilis by a jewish prostitute u know that then medicine could not quite manage with syphilis with salvarsan only, that's why he wanted to make all fews on soap look at the way he talks on documentary. the first years he looks more normal with every year the damage on his neurosystem can be seen increasing.

there was a nice story about neurosyfilis written by oliver sachs the neuropsychiater from new york: the disease of cupido i remember very nice to read. what is true socialism? and adapted? the mystery for me is how could hitler create a whole nation of idiots? because the biggest harm he did was to his own nation. hitler during worldwar 2 killed 20 million russians. stalin killed 20 million more meanwhile, mostly the intelligence and the best officers in the army, yes yes i think he must have neurosyfilis too. he did not stop even during the war. that's why it took russians that long to win. but they are a strong nation. they did. now he had a mania that people around him want to make a plot and kill him.

there is one pic of stalin holding a 6 years old girl in his hands, i have seen it. this girl is now a woman over 60 even he was insane i think. she told her story in a documentary she ran from the crowd to give flowers to stalin. her parents were ordinary people. for them stalin was an idol two weeks later her parents were arrested and shot as enemies of socialism she said. i have lived all my life with this thought. i gave flowers to stalin and with this i killed my parents.

not adapted socialism and developed socialism, but i was also impressed what you told me about your own experiences in the past, that was reality. there is only one thing i can't understand if you wanted to travel abroad you should have a permission from a high party leader and if they allow you, which was rare, they will allow to have only 20-40 $ with you, ok ask.

why it is that in true socialism, if money and work are "equal" divided people is poorer than in america? because all of us were poor, but kept in some level of poorness, have the most important things not to die, the problem is that money always disappear somehow in the pocket of the party leaders, the communist party, only they did not tell us.

yes, thats what i meant. now our stolen money are in swiss banks and we will never have them back. in socialism there is not that big difference with how it works in america (the poor negroes) our new capitalists are the ex-communists. in america they called the miljonairs always to the cost of others the same as in socialism i think there is no big difference just an other name for people who steal right?

there is, if negroes insist they can have the chance to get out of the mud. and some even do. in socialism if u want to succeed some party leader won't allow you. you could be even punished for that. tell me about your pride to be a bulgarian. well, we are an ancient nation, bulgaria officially exists since 681, we are european historically, geographically and even economically. socialism has been only for 45 years.

bulgaria exists for more than 1300 years. nice and better. we have been erased from the map for 500 years during ottomans and it's said that if it was'nt the turks we would have now been with 40-50 million, not 7 million but europe forgets something very important. to some extend we prevented the whole of europe from being invaded by turks.

yess who did that? if it was'nt us. europa would'nt have been the same today we fought for 500 years, you told me. we have been slaughtered, women raped, 5 years old boys were taken from their mothers and turks made them their most severe warriors that was for 500 years then in 1876 we made a big rebellion.

who was your salvator, your national hero? bulgaria was suppressed with such cruelty that the russian emperor said i can't watch a slavic nation to be killed and they mobilized and army for 2 months and passed our borders about that rebellion victor hugo said: "a whole nation is killed. is there a witness? yes, the whole world". always is. during worldwar 2 we were an ally to germany. our monarch was half german but he did not allow even one bulgarian jew to be killed. that's why hitler poisoned him on a meeting in 1943.

when the russian army came no bulgarian soldier or officer shooted against them they declared us war on 6-th sept 1944 and the war was over on 9-th sept 1944 without even a single shot after that our army took part in the war fighting against hitler together with the russians.

who declared war? russia declared to us. officially we were an ally to germany that's the shortest war in history: 3 days with no shot but you did'nt tell me who your national hero is. we have many. name it chronological. 500 years are a long time to create heroes really a huge number. only the biggest ones (except you) because you is so driven and a warrior too i think.

but vasil levski was real and became a real legend. because he was the most wise and honest person on earth. he tried to organize bulgarians against the ottoman empire his words are:" if i lose, i lose only myself. if i win one whole nation wins." i'm not a hero, just an ordinary woman. next levski btw you does'nt seems to me quite ordinary. to be levski u need a lot of courage, i don't have that guts. you see the whole turkish army was after him for years, at the end they caught him and hang him mmm the following hero? people like him are not born every day, he is like christ for us.

there was already such a person in the past, but not in bulgaria. levski and nevski. u mean the church in sofia? alexander nevski cathedral in sofia? yes i was there for the icons beautiful. but name me another famous bulgarian person. it was built in memory of the russian soldiers who gave their lives for the freedom of bulgaria: botev, karavelov, rakovski. no memory.

and thanks for your "lecture". this is a good short review of our history too. bulgarian history is a very huge book, can't tell you all just one last thing, there was a delegation from israel. bulgarian jews who lived there from many years. one of them said: not europa should accept bulgaria, bulgaria has to accept europa. because what they did during worldwar 2, no other nation did. powerful nation just stood and watched. usa saved some jews but they chose only the best ones. the talents they needed. bulgaria did not choose. she saved all bulgarian jews.

nice sites you gave me. sometimes i feel really sorry that some european politicians forgot what we mean for europa. or may be they did not learn their history lessons, because that's why history is written, to remember. i will learn and i was right, i feel some resentiment in you but that's just oke i like that (meaning nothing). for my friend milena.

how to become a good secretary

it is well known that working as a secretary is not the easiest thing in the world and usually what is going on in reality is in the opposite, secretary happens to be tough and tough position. but how to get pleasure, make your work more productive and also get noticed? in this article you will find the answers to the questions which were torturing you for so long.

things you'll need: 1. strong will 2. patience 3. positive attitude 4. smile

1. at first, lets make it clear - what do you want to get from your job? is it just a temporary work, you do it in order just to earn some money and then you are done with it? or is it a starting position in your career, you fully understand it so take it seriously? i am going to talk about the second option when your attitude to secretarial work is serious and you do it with responsibility.

2. so that is it, your first day work day has come, you are in panic, don't know how to start, what to do and how to deal with endless stream of new information? concentrate and be calm - that is the best way to act in stress situations and first thing you better remember from the beginning. you need to understand that it won't be like that forever, it is happening because of lack of experience and knowledge, once you get to the point of how it all works, you will feel like fish in the sea.

3. in this position you must be very attentive, be stickler for details otherwise you may get into trouble. therefore what i suggest is to get a notebook or writing pad. i underline it, you need a book not sticker notes which you stick wherever it is possible, and as a result you lose information. important here is size, don't get too big, in the opposite it will be more convenient with small one, the size of organizer or address book. there you write a plan of the things you have to do tomorrow - yes, tomorrow, because you just wont have time to make it on the same day, therefore i strongly recommend you to do it the day before with a clear head.

4. be reasonable and try to distinguish the importance and urgency of your tasks. start your day with dealing with the matters which have some deadlines and were asked to be done by your boss. after everything is successfully done, you can get down to less important things.

5. don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand or confused about something especially if you are a novice in the company. there is nothing wrong in it, in the opposite it will show you from the better side - you display interest and desire to learn, that is always a good quality. but do it in a relaxed and friendly way, the main rule here is to be polite with your colleagues, always express your gratitude.

6. if you are a secretary for the whole office and being showered with all kind of tasks, don't despair - there is a way out from this situation as well - when someone gives you work and you are being busy with other things, take it but don't be shy to say that you are now doing something else given to you by (say who) and after you finish you will start working on it, unless, of course, it does not requite immediate actions.

top 10 qualities of a great secretary

01. organized and detail oriented.

02. puts the boss's and company's "best foot forward" since he/she will most likely come in contact with clients before the boss does.

03. always answers the phone and greets visitors with a smile on his/her face and in his/her voice.

04. has up-to-date skills and the ability to learn new skills and procedures with ease.

05. knows when to keep his/her mouth shut and when not to. doesn't quibble over the small stuff.

06. listens well and presents solutions rather than dwell on problems.

07. presents a professional appearance and attitude at all times. doesn't bring personal problems to work.

08. follows through quickly and efficiently with all tasks.

09. terrific spelling and grammar skills, and knows how to interpret the boss's hieroglyphics!

10. remembers the pressures the boss is under and doesn't bother the boss with every little problem.

how to become a secretary

1. obtain a degree in business administration or attend classes offered by community or vocational schools. there are 2-year degrees available in secretarial training. training involves computer and keyboarding classes and office skills. entry-level positions don't require training, but some basic computer and office skills are necessary. you must also type quickly and proficiently.

2. become proficient in skills such as keyboarding, spelling, communication, grammar and punctuation. employers of secretaries also seek honesty, discretion and organization. secretaries must often work independently and organize their work to become efficient in the office.

3. go into a field that you enjoy. if you would like working in healthcare, apply for a medical secretary position. legal secretaries require special training, but the earning potential is higher than that of other secretaries.

4. apply for an entry-level secretarial position in an office even before you have training. experience on your resume is often looked upon as greater than some training courses.

5. be prepared to learn on the job. many secretarial positions require job-specific skills. employers or co-workers help get you started and may offer specific training courses for that particular job.

6. dress appropriately for an office position when being interviewed for a secretarial position. a secretary is often the first person clients see. employers want you to look professional and appropriate.

the homeless

it is not because i have a shelter, a full bottle of wine in the bin and a dog in the basket, that i don't lay on that bench where upon the homeless sleeps. it is because my hand want to caress the dog in the morning, that isn't there.

hello folks

my name is hero, im a dutchman, living in belgium and because of that they (the belgian people) calls me a "nederbelg" = a south-netherlander working and living in belgium. and as you already supposed it's a nick-name. there isn't a country in the whole world, that is so skilled in making an art from discrimination. and it is almost hilaric to say that it starts by the belgian government with discrimination of their own people and later on with their neighbours, especially dutch people. the reason for this behaviour you can find in the history of both nations: belgium was split off from the netherlands after napoleon invades the netherlands.

in the centuries after this splitt off, there grew a distinct difference in characteristics between the belgium and dutch people: belgium people tends to have more southern mentality like mediterraneans. they adore the enigma "joie de vivre", so they tend to be late at appointments for half an hour at least (if they come at all), so one could say that they are not so reliable as dutch people. dutch people in general are right, straight, open and direct. they don't like hotch-potch, because this directs away from the intended goal. dutch people like to say as it is without diversions, straight to the goal.

belgium people in general are not open or direct at all, they manipulate people, they are underhand, acts behind one's back. they are so-called polite, but in the mean time, they gossip about every thing they know about you. belgium people have also a kind of german mentality in the way that they always seek support by their superiors. one might say they are fine hypocrites, but they lack the insight view of hippocrates. and by the way the belgium government and policical parties are predecessors: they show their subjects how to do it and even the court in belgium shows lately.

i mention one quote of a politician marc van peel and senator (the chair-man of cd&v) on 14/05/97 in the paper "de groene amsterdammer" who said that he rather like to sit on an isle full with turcs than on an isle full of dutch people.

well i have been twice in hospital, hope i never get there again, yes with the childbirth, yes never knew that life could be that miserable before that. they were not nice to you? it was regular practice, i have no idea how is it now, if you want i can tell you, from the consultations that i went for months they told me to go when pains get every 10-15 mins. no need to go earlier, but i felt that something was wrong, it started very bad. you know we studied one year gynaecology in the medical institute, so i was aware. no ambulance then, my husband drove me and left me: they don't allow relatives in. uh, unbelievable. first the doctor on duty came, examined me fast and said: hey, you are for sectio, didn't anyone tell you? i had pains every minute. so they showed me a bed and for one hour no one came to see me. ai ai what a pervert system. a nurse came in, turned on some device, said: lie on ur back, i said i can't, i suffocate when i am on my back, can’t breath. yes you can she said, and went out. then understood that they have some other sectio and i have to wait for 2 more hours when the anaesthesiologist came and said: we are starting, are you afraid? i said, i agree if you cut my throat just stop that pain. on the other morning about 10.00 hour a nurse came and said: you can stand up. from those high beds after operation, i tried but could not. she said: you just stand up and go to the other bed. the woman next said that i looked so pale, she thought that i would faint, anyway i did not. in two hours they brought the baby, put it in a bed next to me and she said: nurse it. then my son got staphylococcus. 4 days i tried to make some doctor pay some attention at the end i made a scandal, i saw the rashes and i did not like them, at last a pediatrician came and examined the kid and started yelling: quickly, we have to isolate him, 11 days in hell. when i got out of hospital i was thinner than before pregnancy, you see, i even was not happy that i gave birth, i looked at the baby and thought that may be it's not mine. i hope they don't work there in the hospital now, i don’t know. second time i found a doctor who i knew. but the misery in hospital was the same: miserable attitude, dirty lavatories. yes good for the newspapers. and what was the reason for section? big baby over 4 kilo's, it just could not get out, my bones are not that wide for such big baby the second baby was big again, but this time they planned it and cut me earlier. i am without words. you see, i heard from some women in hospital that they were paying money under the desk, at least to be sure that they will get a good doctor, so the second time i arranged a doctor earlier. and that was all in the town you live in? well, i heard that it happened in other towns too. still today?? you see, they started reforms in the health sector after socialism was gone the mess and lack of control was total, i see, i don't know today, i avoid the hospital, yes i would do the same, you see, if there are good doctors, the system smashes them too but overhere it is quite different, i know, i have a friend who married an outlander, all fine doctors, with interest for their patients, her first kid was born in bulgaria from her first marriage, the second one was born in outland, she said that now she believes that delivering a child is not that scary. yess then you know the difference, she said, they even put me anaesthesia. here they were making abortions in hospitals without anaesthesia so be happy, if u get sick at least there is good hospital for you. thanks, but i wished it was true for you too. i hope i don't have to see the hospital, but alas, i might need medical help some day (from my friend milena).
