Still Around....Just Got Lost for a Bit....

So it has been a LONG time since I have posted anything. I can really explain why that's been:
1. Moved from Romania to Sarajevo, Bosnia the land of war-torn buildings and hearts, snipers, Muslims and beautful sceneries.
2. I don't have a camera nor did anyone in the Home.
3. Manu was actually supposed to post some stuff, too...but he's not gotten around to it. :D
4. I don't have a camera
5. I don't have a camera, wait, didn't I say that already?
Oh, another big happening was Exit, wich I attended with 50 other Fam peopel from all over EE. It was super duper cool!! Exit is a Rock music festival held in the city of Novi Sad, Serbia. People from all over Europe come to rock out, party, drink and drown out their problems. TG we know the truth and were there to give it to them!
After Exit, I was supposed to go to Belgrade and pick up my visa so I could go back home to Bosnia. But the Lord had another plan for me...and now I am looking for a home. So really keep me in your prayers.
Anyways, these pics are at the Petrovaradin Castle here in Novi Sad. I went out on my last "family day" with this wonderful family--the Holl's. Really cool people, Canadians :p...(yes, Flo, you have my permission to smile that cheeky smile!--I love you!)
Hope you enjoy them!

Well...the conection is not cooperating with me right now, so I think I will post the pics later.
Love you all!

Para ti, Mama

En este dia se celebra la cosa mas hermosa que Dios creo – mi Madre!
En este dia se celebra las qualidades de una madre; paciencia, la fe, el amor, la confianza, el valor e insesable coraje y fortaleza.
Mama, eres mi mejor amiga! Gracias por ser sincera y nunca dejar de creer en mi. Gracias por tu animo y por el ejemplo que has sido para mi. Gracias por orar por mi y dejar que aprendiera por mi misma, (aun que de seguro no fue facil.)
Eres el mejor ejemplo del amor de Jesus para mi; siempre te has sacrificado por nosotros y lo has puesto a El en primer lugar apesar de todo—un ejemplo dice mas que mil palabras.
Entiendo ahora por que dicen que el amor de Dios es mejor mostrado en una madre.

FELIZ DIA DE LA MADRE!!
Te amo tanto!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Massie, you are really one of a kind, there is no one in the whole wide biggest world like you!
You are not only the bestest Massie that I could have, but you are my friend, counselor, shepherd, foolishness companion and a great cook!
Thank you for always sacrificing yourself for us and giving us the best, most of all, for giving us you and your time. I hope that when I have children they will be as proud of their mother as I am of you. You are really a sample of love for the lost, love for your brothers and sisters and most of all, a dedicated, whole hearted disciple.
I love you, Massie!!

P.S. Sorry that I don't have a pic...but as you can see from the older posts, she really is gorgeous both inside and out.

The Mom's Song

I love you, Massie! You're the greatest.
Thank you for always being there and making life better for us.
I hope you enjoy this song...tee hee! Think Manu will understand
better than I, but nevertheless, I thought I should post it for
everyone's entertainment.





P.S. No, you don't sound that bad...y esto son las preliminares...:D

Una probadita Arabe...

Ayer sali con un amigo a ver el viejo centro de la capital de Rumania, Bucarest.
Encontramos un pasaje arabe donde hay cafeterias/restaurantes y tienda, etc.
Y claro, no pude pasar la oportunidad de probar un "pipa de agua" o "hookah".
( foto a la izq.) Se puede usar para fumar diferentes sustancias como frutas herbales y tabacco.
Su origen es de Arabia, pero atra vez del imperio Turco Ottoman a diversos paises.
Dependiendo de la localidad, tiene diferentes nombres tales como: shisha, nargile, okka.
Bueno, esa fue la experiencia del dia...claro, solo por conocer...:D

A hookah (Arabic: شيشة; Hindustani: हुक़्क़ा / حقّہ) is a multi-stemmed, often glass-based water pipe device for smoking, originating from Arabia but gained fame and spread to the world under the Ottoman Turks.^{[citation needed]} A hookah operates by water-filtration and indirect heat. It can be used for smoking many substances, such as herbal fruits and tobacco. Depending on locality, hookahs are known as other names, such as a shisha/sheesha, water pipe, nargeela/nargile/narghile/nargileh, argeela/arghileh, okka, kalyan, gewat suckre, hubble bubble, or ghelyoon/ghalyan. Many of these names are of Arab, Somalian, Indian, Ethiopian, Turkish, Uzbek, or Persian origin. Narghile (نارگيله) is from the Persian word nārgil (نارگیل) or “coconut”, and in Sanskrit nārikela (नारीकेल) and it was made out of coconut shells.^[1] Shisha (شيشة) is from the Persian word shishe (شیشه, literally translated as glass and not bottle). Hashish (حشيش) is an Arabic word for grass, which may have been another way of saying tobacco. Another source states, “In early Arabic texts, the term hashish referred not only to cannabis resin but also to the dried leaves or flower heads and sweetmeats made with them”.^[2] Hookah itself may stem from Arabic uqqa, meaning small box, pot, or jar. Both names refer to the original methods of constructing the smoke/water chamber part of the hookah.

Narghile is the name most commonly used in Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Greece, Cyprus, Albania, Israel, Bulgaria and Romania, though the initial “n” is often dropped in Arabic. Shisha is more commonly seen in Egypt, Bahrain, Morocco, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Somalia. In Iran it is called ghalyoun or ghalyan (قليان) and in Pakistan and India it is referred to as huqqa. The archaic form of this latter name, hookah is most commonly used in English for historical reasons, as it was in India that large numbers of English-speakers first sampled the effects of the water pipe.
