A modern Lady

 


Stunning, mature, able to enjoy her own company
Glamorous, experienced, always having her own opinion
Beautiful, independent, knowing her rights and respecting the others
Gorgeous, wise, knowing how to spoil herself from time to time
Stunning.

~Pola Chérie A modern Lady~

What does it mean for you to be beautiful?



You have to step out from "being beautiful" to start enjoying your true beauty.

Life is like One Day


Life is like one day. It starts when you wake up. But seems like not everyone does.

Kimono in Church (Dirk Wiedlein Photography)




Do you believe in little miracles in our lives? I do.
I am strongly believing in God. But my faith had its ups and downs. My mother is an atheist and there were a times and years when I haven't been attending to the church at all. I don't know why, I felt betrayed, I guess there were too many things I couldn't understand.
This weekend was very busy for me. I finally moved to my new place to start a single life in Tokyo. Seventh move in my life. But the most exciting one without a doubt.
I am on the tenth floor and I see the skyscrapers of Shinjuku from my window when I am sitting at my desk working. When good things happens in my life I always feel insecure. So many things people want to think we own. And when we forget the truth that nothing belongs to us for ever it becomes harder to see whats really matters in our lives.
Today was a sunny day. Windy a little but the sun was warmly welcoming the walkers. I went to the nearest church which I checked out before moving to Tokyo. I went there. And when I entered the patio I saw a woman in hurry wearing the kimono. I was deeply touched. Kimono in church. How far You came. I told to Him. I found You here. So far away from my home.
Fifth month in Japan.
The architecture of this church is breathtaking. Concrete, bare, almost dilapidated, you could say, walls. And one shape looking like the whale's tail emerging from the sea from which the big, heavy crucifix hangs on the strong chains.
I wanted to share this beatiful view with you so badly. But I thought I will find only some amateur's photos on the Internet. So I wrote only three words into google: "church fashion editorials".
Do you see the last picture?

The church I went to today.
A little miracles in our lives.

I see you

 
  my dream my love will I find you there?

if I climb up this stairs will you be there?

or the only destination will be to fall?

Do not know if you hear my voice

But do not need any hint

because I see you

and that keeps me going




~Pola Chérie I see you~

Free me




Free me
from the Desire of wanting


Free me
from the Longing abducting away my soul
from the Pain deaf for any lullabies
from the Anger turning into eating itself cannibal
from the Sobriety making my heart insensible
from the Vanity disabling to feel the true happiness
from the Emotions drowning me in my own sorrow
from the Fears leading me to nowhere
from the Death tormenting me every night like a awaken bat
and from the Love holding tight its dreams like a lonely child
cuddling to his teddy bear in orphanage
never losing the hope that someone
will take him home
soon


Free me


Free me from my own
desires

What about my emotions



You don't care
you live quick
you just do
what you have
on your to do list
You don't care
Never ask never tell
People are for you
just a steps
to go higher
You don't care
about the emotions
life is easy
unless it is yours
You have no time
You don't have to
think about it
Because you live quick
like a candle
afraid of the fire

To eat, or not to eat: that is NOT the question


When I first saw editorial titled "Ladies Who Lunch" from Interview April 2011 (first image), lensed by Robbie Fimmanoin, in which you can see ladies but you don't see any lunch, I thought it is funny. But then I realize I could laugh at it because I am grown up from my teenage complexes and I am confident of my body and my appearance. I start wondering but what about younger girls who are watching this photographs and maybe blogging about this? What do they think watching stunning ladies in beautiful clothes having an expensive designers bags on the tables instead of food?
I fully agree it is an artistic vison of a people from fashion industry and you can't ban this because it can have a bad influence on teenagers. You never know what exactly made a girl start starving herself. And also, there will be always people who say skinny is the only beauty.
So the question stays the same: To eat or not to eat.
The only reasonable answer for me is: to eat and exercise! It doesn't matter if you lose your weight or not. Workouts makes you feel happier and healthier. And if you want to lose few pounds just quit eating sweets and continue excercises.

If you think you would be happier being thinner then you can't say you are too lazy to work to be happier, can you?




Remember being healthy is the most beautiful thing!


What do you think of the editorial of ladies who lunch without a lunch?

"Go Glam or Go Home"


Go for what you are truly desiring. Do not waste your time.
Be strong. Believe.
Free your dreams.
Let your weaknesses become your confidence.
Step out from your own cage.
You won't achieve anything with folded arms.
Don't be afraid to look different.
Go for what you are truly desiring.
Only then you will feel the satisfaction even if your dream would be incomplete.
"Go Glam or Go Home"!

The Garden Of Asleep Soul


Whenever you miss me
I will be expecting you
No matter how many years pass
You will find me there

Whenever you need me
I will be expecting you
No matter how many mistakes
you have made I will be
Like young Werther
A boy who fall in love
for the first time

Whenever you run away from home
I will be there
In my secret garden
Living alone among the roses
No matter how many times you say
you hate me
No matter how many times
you abandon me

I will be there
expecting you
