Time flies...


I am now 30, celebrated just two weeks ago.

The feeling that time is rapidly flying terrifies me, but at the same time it's quite exciting as it means that it will bring new things into my life.

I am not sure if I am really happy to have reached this age...I would have delayed it, probably. I feel kind of depressed sometimes, often old, always late for something undefined.  

The urgency of achieving a form of perfection in every thing bears down upon me, even though I know I will never reach it.  So, I know I will always be unsatisfied.

However, my birthday party was great. Rob took me to an amazing restaurant on the 33rd floor. I loved contemplating Seoul by night from that hight. 

Next day, sangyopsal (barbeque pork) with a few friends was lots of fun.

The eternal Berlusconi's Kingdom

The soap opera called "Berlusconi and his veline" continuous to amuse the audience of different countries and to disgust Italians. A part of them- but not the majority apparently- feel trapped in a Republic which has become the Berlusconi's Kingdom now.  

Now, the "Hero" is fighting against a plot from the Left part which, as he says, has persuaded his wife to seek divorce and to end an era of scandals.  But Berlusconi strongly denies to have had fun with the young damsels of his castle, in fact he just admits a paternal and loving behavior toward all of them. That's why the blond and young girl, wearing a tight but innocent dress, calls him Papi at the ceremony of her 18th birthday...

Will our (their) Hero escape from the evil power and conspiracy of the Left? will he be able again to slide out of false pretences, save his Queen Veronica from the Left gremlins and confirm his immortality? 

Don't miss the next episode, coming soon to all the newspapers!
