Monday: Hot Chocolate, tea and her delicate hands

A short walk with a friend. Cold weather. October is really edgy this year. I am still ill. The hot chocolate is the only solution. And tea with cinnamon and apple. A chocolate muffin.

Life is good. 

And she has so delicate hands. Fingers whose touch is like feathers. Just lovely!

Monday Inspiration: Alvar Aalto's Chairs

Alvar Aalto is one of the greatest architects and designers of all time. He is well known and quite popular these  days. Mainly for his wood work with Finnish birch and his bending techniques. His designs are unique and  in the same time easy to understand, comfortable, modern but cosy. 

He was born Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (February 3, 1898 - May 11, 1976) in Kuortane, Finland. Primarily  noted for his humanistic approach to modernism. An art style which is far from humane. He studied architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology from 1916 to 1921. Married another architect. But today I will not talk about his architecture, but for his stools and chairs. 

Enjoy his work as I find it quite inspiring! 

The last one is the vase he presented to the EXPO in Paris in 1937 which is still one of the most loved glass objects. I had the opportunity to see one, a replica in light blue. It was magnificent indeed.

Monday Inspiration: Brain

The human brain is what makes us unique they say. The logic and the long-term memory, plus the ability to learn and evolve are what makes it the most powerful tool in the world. And even better: We all carry one of those in our heads.

Today I bring you an inspirational illustrations about our brains.

Have a nice and brainy week!!!

Monday or Day 48: Some Interesting Architecture. What do you think?

Today was a long and tiring day. The kind of tiring big beginning of the working week. The good news is I have a contract for a new flat and I will be moving at 1 of November there. Finally... It was too intense to wait for these news and at last I can get some normal sleep. Yay!

I am thinking to do something new to the blog and this is to post about Architecture. What do you think? Will you find it interesting to read? Some facts and stuff about my profession? There is a saying that to be an architect you must be dedicated, a little crazy and to love the nights, cause you won't get much sleep anyway. It is a difficult but joyful profession with some serious cons. 

I will start with some history and then go into some architectural details, interesting persona, some really nice projects and share a bit of my knowledge with you!

Monday: Five days of April 2010

Well, in this first post for one of my favorite monts of the year: APRIL, I want to wish to everyone Happy Easter!, to say one big and grateful Thank you! to my friend Nev for the never ending support that she provides for me every single day! and rethink the last week...

Tomorrow is the day of truth. The results for the internships are due to be published. And at last with over a month after the dead-line I will know for sure my result! Nice. So now I am extremely nervous and the situation is quite complicated.

First my beloved Anda is here, so I am happy, happy, happy...

Second I was an extra in one movie which is in process of filming in Bulgaria. It was very interesting from many points of view, a real eye-opener about the movie-industry and nice overall experience for my personality. I met so many new people, some of the really charismatic, others not so; found some old friends and got to stay near horses all day long...I think I fell in love with these animals from first sight! 

Today it was one rainy day in Sofia but the spring rain tends to be so inspiring in so many ways...

How were yours five days of this 2010 April? Tell me, I am so curious...
