<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"When I heard at the
close of the day how my name had been receiv’d with plaudits in the
capitol, still it was not a happy night for me that follow’d;<br />
And else, when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d, still I was not happy;<br />
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health, refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,<br />
When I saw the full moon in the west grow pale and disappear in the morning light,<br />
When I wander’d alone over the beach, and undressing, bathed, laughing with the cool waters, and saw the sun rise,<br />
And when I thought how my dear friend, my lover, was on his way coming, O then I was happy;<br />
O then each breath tasted sweeter—and all that day my food nourish’d me more—and the beautiful day pass’d well,<br />
And the next came with equal joy—and with the next, at evening, came my friend;<br />
And that night, while all was still, I heard the waters roll slowly continually up the shores,<br />
I heard the hissing rustle of the liquid and sands, as directed to me, whispering, to congratulate me,<br />
For the one I love most lay sleeping by me under the same cover in the cool night,<br />
In the stillness, in the autumn moonbeams, his face was inclined toward me,<br />
And his arm lay lightly around my breast—and that night I was happy."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Walt Whitman - <i>Leaves of Grass</i></span></span></div>
</blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">With these words, Walt Whitman perfectly describes what I felt these past two days. After a whole month of stress, exams and work, I could finally free my mind and inhale the beauties of <span style="color: #0b5394;">mother nature</span>. I had the fortune to spend the weekend in Umbria, Italy, where all you need to do is let the nerve-racking life of the today's world pass you by while enjoying the beautiful colors of autumn.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The weekend was dedicated to marvelous walks around the little towns of Umbria, where you can always discover pure and tiny streets not yet contaminated by the modernity of the XXI century. I felt like being <span style="color: #0b5394;">immersed in another era</span>..</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Apart from walking, I had time to enjoy delicious meals, "all that day my food nourish’d me more"...and the red wine was gently accompanying the appetizing cuisine.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last but not least, I was in great company, which only fostered my appreciation of this faboulous weekend.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, this past weekend I was happy..."</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">inhaling the ripe breath of autumn</span> [...]</span><span style="font-size: large;"> O then each breath tasted sweeter [...] </span><span style="font-size: large;">And that night [...] </span><span style="font-size: large;">in the autumn moonbeams, [...] </span><span style="font-size: large;">that night I was happy."</span></span><br />

adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that
drifted his way. No amount of <span style="color: #0b5394;">fire or freshness</span> can challenge what a
man will store up in his <span style="color: #0b5394;">ghostly heart</span>."</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;">And it seems a world based on ephemeral things, based on luxury goods, alcohol, parties and appearance...no one knew why Gatsby was showing off his social power.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gatsby bought that magnificent house because he could see "the green light" flashing on the other side of the dock where Daisy spent her summer holidays. The green light represents hope for a future with the woman he is in love with. All the glitter, the noises, the sounds...it was all part of Gatsby's plan to conquer Daisy's heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;">"I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out <span style="color: #0b5394;">the green light</span> at
the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and
his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp
it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in
that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the
republic rolled on under the night."</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gatsby didn't want to see the reality, he didn't want to give up his search for the green light. Because to give up means accepting the tragedy of the American myth he was living...it means being aware of all the sins and the weaknesses of his human nature.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;">"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back <span style="color: #0b5394;">ceaselessly</span> into the past."</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I discovered my personal "Fields Of Gold" by driving five minutes from home. Maybe these are not fields of barley, since what I see is just some withered grass ready to welcome autumn, but I find this place extremely peaceful. As soon as I walked in, my mind thought about this romantic and timeless song, and I believe it is a perfect spot where to fully appreciate the sound and the lyrics.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My agenda for the following weeks will be full of exams to prepare and work to do...but I have to admit that taking these pictures while having "Fields Of Gold" in my mind, clearly helped me escape from my reality (for about half an hour!!! :) )</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bobby Vinton inspired the director David Lynch to write and produce his thriller movie "Blue Velvet".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lynch was fascinated by this material. The director believed it could hide all the ugly and dirty secrets of
society. Isabella Rossellini plays the role of Dorothy Vallens, the singer of Slow Club. The dark lady was wearing her blue velvet robe at night...she was
covering her naked body but she couldn't cover the truth. The woman
was threatened by a horrible man who kidnapped her son and her husband. Trying to save her family, she had to experience the repulsive world of sex, drugs and corruption.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
Blue velvet, so beautiful and yet so mysterious. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="Tahoma10" style="font-family: Tahoma;"> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"I'm seeing something
that was always hidden. I'm involved in a mystery; I'm in the middle of
a mystery. And it's all a secret."</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Despite
the shocking events, the arrival of a robin is the sign of a happy ending. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"The robins represented love...</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, I guess it means that there is trouble until the robins come." </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last June I had the opportunity of working with wonderful people in a
magic place: Egypt. Apart from modeling, I visited the natural beauties of Marsa Alam,
traversed the great desert and felt astonished by the Luxor temples.<br />
I am not able to put in words how this trip opened and shaped my mind. I will let
some of these pictures talk for me...although the best ones were taken with my eyes and are now kept in my heart.</span></span>

the greatest challenge,
like a puzzle,
you need to find
all the jumbled
fragmented pieces;
the vivid colored images,
even the blacks and whites.
Joined together
you may understand
the meaning
of your life.
Many of my pieces
have yet to be joined -
an endless puzzle, I think.</span></pre>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Although life is a continuous and endless puzzle, I found two pieces that perfectly join together...and I have to thank my dear friend for that!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I received this cute little bag containing a beautiful bracelet. This bracelet is meaningful to me for various reasons. First of all, it's a present from my dear friend and manager of <a href="http://www.lueli.es/">www.lueli.es</a>, Ewelina Wozniak. Secondly, it is absolutely gorgeous. And last but not least, the puzzles' pendants contain my favourite words: Tiger - Bird of paradise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Call it destiny...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I guess I wouldn't have received my missing puzzle pieces if I didn't play tennis. Me and Ewelina met in Barcelona, when I was just a little girl (14 years old). She was working in the Sanchez-Casal Tennis Academy and I was playing tennis there. I remember how she used to talk to me in Polish...and then she laughed about my funny Polish accent! :) Anyhow, she was not only making fun of me, she also became a sort of big sister to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thanks to people like Ewelina, Barcelona is a city that will always be in my heart, it's a place I can call home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Congratulations Ewelina for creating this gorgeous line of accessories! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I really suggest you all take a look at the website <a href="http://www.lueli.es/">www.lueli.es</a> and find your missing puzzle piece.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>Thelma & Louise - </i>Ridley Scott</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A movie on the road for two beautiful women. Thelma & Louise (respectively Geena Davis and Susan Saradon) are ready to change their lives. Thelma is sick of her possessive husband, Louise was meant to be more than a simple waitress. They get on route 66 and forget about everything and everyone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The two friends are finally free to express themselves in the most natural way...no need to think about the make up, nor clothes...no need to cook the dinner for your husband...there's no need to satisfy anyone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thelma and Louise are satisfying their needs...they are the ones who deserve happiness!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Sometimes I want to scream and just leave the whole world behind...but "common sense and social circumstances" are against me. Sooner or later I'll be on the road acting crazy, I know that! Next to me I will have my Louise...and she will be saying:<span style="color: #073763;"> "You've always been crazy, this is just the first chance you've had to express yourself."</span></span></div>
