A re-enactment of a traditional Maltese Wedding of the past

Image
The Culture Committee within St. Catherine's Musical Society of Zurrieq are extending an invitation to all Maltese and Foreigners to be their guests for a typical Maltese wedding of the past, which is being held in the picturesque narrow roads of Zurrieq on Sunday 20 th May, 2007. The activity will commence in Republic Square, which is the Main Square of Zurrieq, at 10.00am. There, everyone will accompany the bride and groom in their traditional wedding march through Carmel Street. Various installations of traditional Maltese workmanship and crafts will be exhibited on the way. All of this will be enjoyed along with the sound of live music and Maltese folklore singing. ( Ghana Malti.) The wedding ceremony will be held on the pave of St. Andrew's Chapel where it can be followed closely by the crowd. This Chapel was built in the same era, thus making a perfect venue for such an activity. A reception will be held after the wedding ceremony, in the most wonderful environment, uniqu...

football!!!

this is the only reason being for me to be happy to watch football match, not just on tv (I wonder how many men will keep up with what will be happening in the pitch as regards the game) ...No matter what, only the brunettes get my support...Sorry but I don't like blondes...

back & angry!!!!

The only reason that I was not here lately was beacuse in malta there was a little wind and couple of rain drops which as usual stopped me from writing in my blog. No it was not the weather. What happened was as customary I had problems with the internet connection and I was looking forward to see which excuse they will come up with this time after spending a long time again to get hold of customer service. This time the reason was that something inside the modem might have got burnt. The thing is that it rained just enough to dirty ones car and as far as I know there were no thunderstorms. Anyhow I waited for their technician which this time he was 2 days late and his excuse was that there are two houses with the same name in the street where I live even if I have told them I wonder how many times the number of the house and I always find my monthly bill in my letter box. So finally an hour ago I had their technician at my house and the reason why I didn’t have any service was that I ...

ZOO goes TV

Image
'Minghajr Flus, minghajr flus ghalxejn jiprova jaqbadni l-gharus ghax minghajr flus, minghajr flus la tghannaq u l-anqas tbus' these are some of the lyrics from the latest version of ‘On again Off again’ of Julie and Ludwig as interpreted in maltese by the crew of Zoo, which yesterday I had the chance to watch it being sung at the MCC theater in Ta’Qali. Julie and Ludwig where not the only famous people who where victimized, but even the people watching the show were brought up on stage and been called names. The gang of zoo even had fun taking the piss and mistreating them or throwing them out of the theatre without any reason. Putting aside that the show started 20 minutes late, the large amount of adverts that make you feel like you are not in a theatre but in front of a TV watching some local channels, an uncomfortable seat that was not even big enough for a child to fit in and that some of the gigs were very vulgar and I don’t find vulgar words or vulgar gestures funny, I ...

The Adventure is Over- Maltese entry for Eurovision song Contest 2007 will not make it to the Finals...

Image
The people who read my blog know well enough that I am very patriotic and I always wish to see that Malta is in the limelight, but to be sincere I really don't like the big fuss that we make over the Eurovision Song Contest. Mind you I love the way that the Maltese people come together and support the whole idea and since the contest is followed by a large quantity of people it is also a cheap way to promote our country. I might sound blunt but the only thing I look forward to during the finals of the Eurovision and the Eurovision song contest itself are the funny comments by Terry Wogan about everything under the sky (yes BBC is my favorite channel because I don’t stand to listen to Eileen Montesin or some others whining in front of a microphone) so one has to keep in mind how sick was having to listen to all 28 songs(if you can call them songs) to see if my premonitions were right at the end of the show. Compared to the songs that were staged last night, ours and Denmark’s were t...

Mis-calculations 2

Image
While driving I do tend to relax and I do sometimes drive carelessly, not fast or to make people look at me (even if mine is a Swedish she isn’t a top model) by burning wheels or by trying to overtake cars, even if when I feel like it my car have enough power on tap to do some over speeding—(sexy grin)(I have a wolf in sheep clothing)(sexier grin), I just kinda ease up and let lot of things distract me from the road and that leads to quite a lot of little bumper to bumber accidents. It was not the same case early this morning when I went to drive off and I realised that the front left head and side lamp were missing. At first I thought that someone might have nicked them but at better inspection I found out that both of them were in the engine bay. After saying the rosary the other way round and I slightly calmed down, knowing that the wan**r who did this didn’t even have the guts to let me know, I went like a dog with his tail between the legs to the spare parts shop and believe me t...

Premonition- a forewarning!

Image
I was planning to go and watch this particular movie next Sunday evening but yesterday I was given the opportunity to go and watch it with two beautiful girls and that is an offer that it is very difficult for a man to refuse. I was very doubtful about this movie to begin with, but by the tenth crappy preview and a trailer scene which reminded me one of the cheesiest pop-culture moments of all time: Bobby Ewing in the shower on "Dallas." As you may remember, it turned out he wasn't dead after all and the previous season had been a long dream. I just knew I was in for a lonnnng and crap-filled couple of hours. Turns out, though, I was wrong. I wasn't prepared for the fact that I was actually going to enjoy this film, and I certainly wasn't prepared for the thousand twists and turns it took me on. It grabbed me from the very first scene (with just a hint of Sandra Bullock's nipple under her cotton nightie) and tossed me around like a rag doll in the dryer for a...

Lyndsay Pace- The Truth in Me

Image
I was talking to a old pal of mine on msn and he is into music big time and when he recommend a video of a local new singer I was kind of taken back since I was busy writing and updating most of my stuff but since he insisted I clicked on the link to see this video of a local performer, new to me by the name of Lyndsay Pace. I was greeted by a failed romance which most of the times is the basis of most rock ballads, but it looks like this hard habit of breaking up has hardened the artist in this determined ballad "The Truth in Me." She "oohs" over a somber piano, creating a wintry tone. She promises herself to do make different decisions than he did. She won't let him make her feel miserable and impulsive. He drew her in all this with his cold pretense. However, it's only caused her to become disillusioned even if she still feel his presence and she keeps longing for his return. Even if during the chorus she sings that deep inside of her she believe that thi...

The Secretary

Image
During my lunch break I came across a February’s, TV guide, on the coffee table so I just went thru the pictures as I wasn’t interested what was being transmitted in the air at that time as it was well almost the end of March and you know on TV guides since there are a lot of listings, the editor usually only allows a couple of lines to describe the pick of the day one's eyes tend to fall on what I like to call Le Locandine. The pick of the day on one particular day was the movie ‘The Secretary’. Don’t tell what was it that mostly caught my eyes since there was only a small picture of a very naive girl in her 20's and the lines said that it is a romantic film with a twist between two mentally disturbed people. I don’t know if it was the twist or that the film speaks about disturbed people that tricked my mind but I remember something made me take note of the title to check if it was available from one of the DVD rental houses near where I live. When i gave up managing to find t...

Another event worth attending...

Another event worth attending in aid of the children in Albania... Next weekend (11,12, and 13th May 2007) a group of young people will be holding a car wash marathon near the Ta' Xbiex Yacht Marina (Malta). The funds collected will be then used by a group of youths who generously travel to Albania, and work with the Dominican order to run a small (c 300 - 400 children) summer camp. Come on guys and gals spare some of the weekend booze money for the people who are more in need then we are and look flashier on saturday night in your shimmering washed car... If you can't make it send a Lm1 donation on sms no. 50617374

Malta and the Maltese Islands (Spirit of Malta)

Image
If you write malta or the maltese islands in google or other search engine, you get 143,000 results of home pages which are related but most of them especially the official Tourism Site visitmalta is just boring. I came across a very well made site about my country and if you want to see what a jewel of a place we live in I recomend you check it out, especially the virtual tours. the site is www.maltavoyager.com if you don't have time for that or like what happened in my case I got spellbound (no not an eurovision song) and spent most of the afternoon checking out this particular site and have other things to do check out this video. Filmed and edited by Alexander Chorny (yes foriegners tend to appreciate more)between 02.05 to 08.05 and edited in just 2 hours (the night before he had to get his plane back home for vacation, and made especially to show Malta to his friends and parents back in Ukraine). It's called Spirit of Malta and it is just amazing both visually and even th...

Earth Garden

Image
Nowadays one is really spoilt for choice when it comes to going out, thanks to so many activities, mostly cultural ones happening almost every weekend and I’m very sorry that I will not be able to attend any this weekend, especially the earth garden event which is gonna take place at Ta' Qali National Park this evening and all day tomorrow. I completely forgot about it even if it was very heavily publicized. It is being organized by Exit Promotion and they are experts in organizing out door activities, the most famous being the Tribu’ Festivals which have always attracted tens of thousands of people every year. However it has been two years since they have organized similar activities so I’m sure it will be out of this world. It is an excellent idea that this particular festivals are orginized since they promote environmental issues and a better way to preserve it. Apart from the various activities which are being organized during the day in an Open Village where artists will be ex...

Rent-a-wife

Image
The irony behind this viral which in reality it is advertising for a dvd rental site, pushes me to make some reflections. What if it was possible to rent a wife? It would be easy testing out someone for a couple of days and then decide if you keep it for longer days or not. Repetitions annoy so later on would it be easy to get back the original wife? As you read my couple of lines, I can see the ladies all red with anger towards me but what will you think if even you can rent a husband? Isn’t it an interesting idea? Then again I think that this ad was a success because both the male and females of today’s generation nowadays lack the way our earlier parents used to build better relationships based on communication, as much time together and caring for each other and not how much I’m gonna look rich financially in front of society at the price of not knowing and learning to discover the good and the bad of the person whom I’m gonna grow old since both parties will be spending 80...

At the garage...

Image
A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of a Honda motorcycle when he spotted a well known heart surgeon in his garage. The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike. The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Profs can I ask you a question?" The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Profs, look at this engine. I open its heart, take valves out, fix' them, put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work? The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic... Try doing it with the engine running...

After 'Les Miz'

Image
London’s West End alone boasts more than twenty musical which are currently being staged so that makes it impossible physically and financially to lap all of them in one holiday so I looked forward to the 5th visit of the quartet who perform under the name of Beyond the Barricade whom have become famous by singing out fabulous tunes from the most famous musicals. The famous group returned to Malta to perform their shows during last weekend, thanks to Masquerade Theatre Company. I rave over anything that it is staged live as long as it is made from the heart but I have a special soft spot for musicals. There’s fantasy, melodies, escapism, spectacle, and in many cases, characters which I tend to associate myself with, funnily enough even the depressing stuff isn't quite so bad when you hear it so professionally sung. Andy Reiss and David Fawcett rightly lead the team of four since Beyond the Barricade is their baby, inspired by the performances they were doing together in the rec...

guess who's back! the pic is for the directors and not for staff

Image
I’m back after having to wait at least 4days to have the service back since yesterday was a public holiday...I managed to get hold of customer service on sunday morning and to be sincere I was very sorry for the poor guy who answered me. I am very sorry sir this poor guy said but on sundays and holidays we work on skeleton stuff of two technicians only. The service is a complete disaster and this is not the first time that this company has let me down big time. Only two technicians when this stupid company claims that they have topped the 100,000 tv customer and 30,000 internet client. We need choice...

Onvol 've let me down another time...

I'm writing this little blog from work, something which I shouldn't be doing but as happens most of the times whenever it rains even just a little bit I loose my home internet connection and it is easier to push an elephant thru a needle hole then getting hold of their help desk for assistance. Customer service from Melita!!! What service? Any how what I wanted to say is that I really enjoyed last night's performence of beyond the barricade, being the place, the show and most of all the beautiful company and hopefully I will blog about it very soon as soon as I manage to get hold of customer service to fix my problem and bearing as much as possible the stupid answering machine telling me that I have reached melita cable in a anglo maltese posh yet babish, blonde accent.

good news

Image
Finally after a long time, it looks like some good news it’s on my way this morning. One of the colleagues who I really disliked and kept getting on my nerves from the first time she had to be part of my team and had to bear her childish manners for almost six months now. I disliked her even more when she got a promotion which she never deserved (short skirts!) especially when it was me who gave her the opportunity to train when she was struggling. That is what you get when you are too kind. The good news is that she might be moving to uk for good :0(yahooooo!!!)…I just hope that the news is real not the usual office rumours and I finally get rid of her ugly and stupid know everything attitude…
