Ну что? Как вы тут все меня живете? Не ждали? А вот и я.
Life updates...
New boyfriend, well, 4 months new, but new to all of you since I haven't posted here for so long. Not sure if he is THE ONE, but for now he makes me happy (most of the time). Those of you who have me as a friend on facebook already have seen his picture plastered all over it. And, yes, another Latino, but say no more, I just love them. He is also super hot (with perfect body and even a six-pack at 41!)...and he is a Salsa dancer.
I'm back at the gym 4 times a week, twice with a personal trainer, looking even better than before. I even got a "hot girl" discount twice in one month.
The rest...it's all good...happy-go-lucky as always.
How are you all?

So I got this email from my friend:
"Good evening,
This assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to participate in a massive attempt to get a laugh and have some fun while doing it. I am filming as many people as I can doing the J.R. dance...it's a present, so keep it a secret!
Practice, practice, practice, a pro videographer (or, more likely, um, me) will be coming to your neighborhood soon to film you!
If you're not in town, you are excused, otherwise, get those dancing shoes on! Even if you can only do a little bit, get in there.
P.S. Don't worry, it won't show up on Youtube..just sign that informed consent form and be quiet :-)."
Of course for a dear friend, I'm in and here is what I would have to learn to do by Sunday:

Amazing, but true…
A conversation between my coworker and me (white male with an MBA in his mid thirties):
Me:
There is no such a thing as a half Jew, you just are or you are not. Do you understand why?
Coworker:
Well, yes, Jews don’t like New Testament.
Me:
Ok, but why?
Coworker:
They just like Old Testament better.
Me:
Why do you think this is? Do you understand that Jews don’t believe in Jesus?
I think then my grandfather found out that my grandmother just passed away, he looked less stunned. My coworker became tear-eyed; you could actually see the expression of pain on his face. He was so upset because I’m such a nice person, but I will be going to hell.
I’m willing to take my chances (I hope that they play lots of Salsa there). In any case, whenever I might end up, I hope I won’t meet him there.

Amazing people those Americans! The other day in "my friendly grocery freezer" I saw fried green beans. Why would someone take perfectly wonderful diet food and ruin it? I don't get it..
Если очень захотеть, то добиться можно всего. Я смотрю на свои старые фотки и не узнаю себя. Когда-то я была 18 размера, а сейчас я ношу 4. В самых удивительных мечтах я не могла себе представить что такое может произойти со мной. И вновь, как в 20 лет, я ловлю похотливые взгляды. Да что говорить, в свои 34 года я выгляжу лучше чем когда-то в 24.
К чему это я? Да вот бросила я курить 2 недели назад. Да, спасибо за поздравления. Как все-таки я скучаю по сигаретам. У меня сумасшедшая сила воли, если я что-то решила, то я как танк, остановить меня не возможно. Но как же я скучаю по Мальборо! Как мне нравилось сидеть вечерами на крыльце моего дома и смотреть на дымку сигарет. Как мне нравилось наблюдать за танцующими в клубе с сигаретой в руках. Без сигареты я словно осиратела. Но раз уж решение было принято, то прощайте Мальборо. Человеку необходимо всего 2 недели что бы поменять привычки. Вот и прошли эти 2 недели, привычка к никотину прошла, но состояние сиротсва останется еще на долго.

I always believed that people come to our lives for a reason. They serve some kind of a purpose. Sometimes we don’t realize what that purpose is right away (may be never), but there is always one…
Я на 100% уверенна что в следующей жизни я буду мужчиной. Нет, только не подумайте что я какой-то скрытый трансексуал. Я обожаю высокие каблуки, я не выхожу на улицу без косметики, мои лифчик и трусы всегда гармонируют, но... как же я ненавижу быть женщиной когда у меня именно вот это счастливое время месяца. Ну какого черта Б-г нам послал эту напасть? И почему эта напасть начинается именно тогда когда у тебя большие планы на выходные и в эти планы входит секс? Так какой же может быть секс когда из "нашего окна площадь красная видна"?
И вот я сижу и грущу на протяжении всего вечера, а моя подруга напевает что есть же какие-то народные средства, ну должно же что-то быть. Залезла на Интернет. Б-г ты мой, что там только не советуют. Кушайте лимоны, а еще лучше петрушку, принимайте ванну с перцем, заклеивайте пупок пластырем. Ну за что мне эта напасть? Пейте настой крапивы, а еще лучше морской перец. Я про морской перец на-русском языке в первые слышу, а тут еще и на английский перевести надо. Переводчик не помог, перевел дословно. Я себя уже представила в аптеке и как я объясняю фармацевту что мне нужно и для чего. Посмеялась и решила не пугать людей.
Короче, кто-то советовал принять ванну с отваром лука. Ну вот что я теряю? Хуже не будет 100%. Заварила лук. Несу это добро в кастрюльке в ванну, а сама от смеха давлюсь. Сижу в луке и ненавижу свою женскую долю. А секса то хочется! Какой дурак сказал что мужчины хотят секс больше чем тетки? Сколько вы знаете мужиков которые могут кончить 5-6 раз пока женщина один. Не знаете? И я не знаю. А вот есть же тетки которые могут 5-6 раз кончить пока мужик один раз. И я именно из этих теток. Мужчина конечно должен быть правильный, но вообще могу. Посидела я в луковой ванне, вроде помогло. Просыпаюсь с утра... а из "нашего окна площадь красная видна".
Прорыла весь Интернет опять. Оказывается что железо пить надо. Сейчас побегу за железом, выпью лошадиную долю этого добра. Радуйтесь, дорогие дяденки, своей жизни. А я своего добьюсь! Даешь сексу хорошего и большого!

It is said that you never forget your first…your first kiss, first time you “did it”, first time you danced bachata… My girl-friend brought one of her co-workers to one of our social dancing events. He’s never heard Latin music, he’s never seen how it’s danced, he was a dance-virgin… It’s impossible to teach someone to dance Salsa on the fly, but Bachata can be done (mostly if you are a man). The rumor goes that Bachata, just like Tango, was invented by the prostitutes. It’s very sensual and slow, please see for yourself:
And so I took his hang and guided him to the dance floor. Step-step-step-hip, that’s all he needed to know, I did the rest. As I was dancing with him, I realized how powerful this dance was. I could feel his breathing was changing, the grip became different and, yes-yes, I turned him on. The power of dance is amazing!
Guess what? He is going to take bachata lessons :)

To this day I continue receiving many private messages and questions about my previous post on Nigerian fraud on EHarmony. Although I’m no longer on EHarmony (yes, there is someone who finally caught my interest, by the way, I met him on EHarmony), I would like to give a little word of advise to whose of you who still are and run into the same problems. ( So in no particular order, allow me to list my rules: )
А из нашего окошка ураган совсем немножко...
Ну я такой наглости от ураганов еще не видела за свои 14 лет во Флориде. Ураган Фэй ухитрился (или ухитрилась) ударить наш дорогой штат уже 2 раза и показалось мало, сейчас идет на третий заход. Да что за дела такие? Зато у нас, в городе-герое Тампа, даже дождя толком не было. Как всегда мы сыграли к Колобка, "и от бабушки ушли, и от дедушки ушли, и от урагана ушли." Хотя скорее всего это он нaс сам испугался.

У моей подруги муж aмериканец, но он говорит довольно не плохо по-русски. Разговариваю я тут с ней по телефону, она очень пылко комментарии раздает - "любовь-морковь". Поворачивается ее муж и в недоумении спрашивает "I didn't know she likes carrots." :)
I couldn't resist and had to just post this for all of you actively dating friends out there (you know who you are). There is actually new FREE service that allows you to connect directly with another person's cell phone voice mail, bypassing the traditional ringing process that often results — sometimes disastrously — with someone picking up on the other end.
Users call (267) SLY-DIAL from either a cell phone or a landline, and are prompted to enter another person's cell phone number.
After playing a short advertisement — unless users pay a subscription fee or 15 cents per call to skip ads — Slydial puts callers directly into their target's voice mail.
Recipients should then get a voice mail notification, and sometimes they will see a caller's number show up as a missed call, too.

Страшно подумать что время делает с нами. Только что посмотрела фотки знакомого в контакте. Морщинки, двойной подбородок, пролысена. Мне все всегда говорят как я хорошо выгляжу и что я совсем не изменилась. А может быть и мне врут? Хотя двойного подбородка и лысины за собой не замечала :) А ух это время!
1. Please, please, please use some breath mints. We dance up close and personal and I really don’t want to know what you had for dinner. Additionally, do not eat anything with garlic right before going out dancing for the same reasons.
2. Wear cologne, but not too much of it. Although natural body odor is not that sexy when you are dancing, too much cologne is also suffocating.
3. Don’t small talk me. I’m here to dance. I don’t want to know where you are from and I defiantly don’t want to know what you do.
4. Do offer me a drink, if you feel like it, although I can afford to buy myself one, so most likely I will refuse.
5. Do complement me on my dancing style and technique.
6. Do not lead me as though you are driving a car in traffic. Be aware of your surroundings. While dancing on Saturday with one man, I spent the entire song apologizing to other couples for bumping into them. Several songs later his new partner run into me and looked very embarrassed. I saw that lady dance before and she was a good dancer. It’s just her lead had no idea how to use the space around him properly.
And finally,
7. Do not under any circumstances ask me if I have a boyfriend or (even worst) if you can have my number. I’m not here to find a boyfriend or a one night stand. I just love dancing.

I'm taking Salsa lessons, not just any Salsa lessons, but private lessons. It is truly a dream come true. I love every moment of it. My body is finally giving in and my extra left foot is slowly becoming a right one again. I can actually do all of the beginner moves without missing a bit and slowly moving along through the intermediate and club moves (check out "Tics and Wiggles", I can do it, yes I can!) (
50ml_martini, the link is specifically for you).
There is only one little problem... as with most other dances, the man is the leader and the woman is the follower. The man guides the woman by giving her "claves" (read little tugs, pushes, or checks) that let her know when to turn, dip, etc. I'm learning to follow, I have no choice (although I'm constantly telling my teacher that he is not teaching me right, if I can't lead in dance, I can at least lead in the teaching process). In my opinion, following is much harder then leading.

There are still so many cool pictures from South America that I'd like to share with you, my friends, just haven't gotten around to it. Well, without further discussions, here goes.
The following pictures were taken in Brazil.
Have you ever seen red bananas?

And this creature is supposed to be a butterfly:

How about a monkey? My Russian readers would understand that when we think about Brazil we always think about monkeys:

Aren't they just so funny looking?

And finally, a toucan, just chilling:

Наболело блин, надо высказаться. Мужчины, дяденьки дорогие, умоляю вас, не носите белые трусы (tighty-whities)! Ну как бы вам понравилось если бы я разделась, а у меня сюрприз там... белые катоновые трусы до пупка в стиле моя-бабушка-Варвара-такие-носила. Так какого черта вы на себя такое уродство натягиваете? Кто вообще это изобрел?

I'd like to entertain you with a few pics I happen to take while on my vacation. This one was taken at the hotel in Iguazu Falls. Can someone please explain to me what this means:
"Pleasent end of night, without consumation, free entrance."

This is a laundry menu from the same hotel. What is an "outfit" and do they charge for each "sock" individually? I'm not even mentioning other bloopers.

This signs I found at a small souvenirs shop in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The sign in Portuguese translates "please don't touch":

Here is how the owner of the store translates it though:

Picture taken at the sea port in Colonia, Uruguay. What does a "free shop" sell?

Lastly, this picture taken in Buenos Aires, Argentina reminded me of the Old Soviet Union:

Cataratas do Iguaçu in Portuguese or Cataratas del Iguazú in Spanish are located right in the Brazil/Argentina border. Truly I haven't seen anything this amazing:

According to a legend, G-d planned to marry a beautiful aborigine, but as all love stories go, she wanted someone else, a mortal lover, with whom she fled in a canoe. In rage, the god sliced the river creating the waterfalls, condemning the lovers to an eternal fall:

The falls are much bigger than the familiar to all of us Niagara:

Two hours flight from Rio or Buenos Aires gets you to this little paradise. If you are ever in Brazil or Argentina, it is defiantly the place to visit.
