You Can Never Hold Back Spring









































You can never hold back spring
You can be sure that I will never
Stop believing
The blushing rose will climb
Spring ahead or fall behind
Winter dreams the same dream
Every time

You can never hold back spring
Even though you've lost your way
The world keeps dreaming of spring

So close your eyes
Open you heart
To one who's dreaming of you
You can never hold back spring
Baby

Remember everything that spring
Can bring
You can never hold back spring

Actor Serban Ionescu’s tragedy: Immobilized by severe disease after being bitten by a tick

'Actor Serban Ionescu has been bed ridden for several months and the situation is likely to continue after he got a very serious disease from a tick. Lyme disease affected his entire body. Ionescu can no longer wash or feed himself on his own. He is helped by his family and he hopes that one day he will be able to get out of bed and back on stage.

An energetic man who is full of life, who used to walk 15 km every day, the actor found out last year he was suffering from Lyme disease, caused by a tick bite. Serban is a hunter and he says everything can happen in the woods.
The disease “attacks the nervous system, (…) it paralyzes your brain… this is the disease with 1,000 faces,” says the actor, who has both hands paralyzed.
Everything began last year, when his left shoulder became immobilized. Several tests and doctor visits followed until brain surgeons realized where his condition came from. “They showed me this thing which is the size of the tip of a needle. They put it under the microscope, It scared me, I thought it was an alien or something,” Ionescu said.
Without having lost his sense of humor, the actor talks about what he is going through: “I have lost my capacity to walk (…). My nerves and muscles were atrophied and my right hand is now just like my left hand, meaning that I am a former tree, a pole, a former tree with no more branches to support me.”
Ionescu is on strong antibiotics, a treatment he has to undergo six to eight months and costs about 9,000 lei a month.
Lyme disease is an infection transmitted by infected tick bites. The bacterium enters the blood flow and affects articulations, muscles, heart and nervous system. Those infected can become paralyzed. There are about 300 such cases reported nationwide every year.'

Sibiu , Hermannstadt - The City's Eyes














































Sibiu is a city in TransylvaniaRomania
Sibiu is the symbol of a deep and abiding culture that has stood the test of centuries. Labyrinth of stones and secrets, lights and shades, the old town shows stories of the time passing and where the time seems to have stopped as well.
The old Sibiu possesses much of its erstwhile charm, a character carefully preserved, hopefully for posterity.

“Enchanting picturesque” would be the words to describe the special aura which emanates from Sibiu. The tiled roofs with odd angles ventilation slats watching the town creates an eerie very unique impression.

Hope


I am not what I ought to be. 

I am not what I want to be. 

I am not what I hope to be. 

But still, I am not what I used to be. 

And by the grace of God, 

I am what I am.
