The weather has showed some signs since the early morning...it was stormy and windy. I wasn’t planning to go to college, but i did. My practical course was cancelled, so i was sitting with two of my friends discussing some home works while i saw one of my classmate passing in front of us in such miserable state: she was asking for help, crying, holding her cell phone... she was simply confused.
I asked her what was going on...she said that one of our classmate just recieved the shocking news of her little sister’s death. She passed out and can’t walk anymore. They are looking for someone to drive her home seeing that their group is having classe that time and the professor didn’t allow any interruption of the course. I proposed to take care of her and to drive her home. She couldn’t walk, a group of students came to carry her...she was only crying with a loud voice. She was sitting next to me, screaming, yelling and crying...i couldn’t say any word...even to ask for direction to her home, i couldn’t demand it.

I avoid all the details... i prefer describing to you directly what i saw. It was heart breaking...to see a young, beautiful 12 year-old girl laying on her bed only like a dead body...without soul, without breath. I was the first stranger to assit to the first confusing moment...only the mom and the 2 sisters and me were there...in front of the little dead body.
The most painful moment was when my friend was begging her sister to open her eyes...shaking her dead body, screaming and repeating “ wake up sister, please wake up...you are jokking, aren’t you?!”

I was freezing in my place...shocked and confused. I prefered leaving them alone...i left, dragging my legs...collecting the broken pieces of me. I spent all the day like a mentally retarded person. I handled the situation for hours...the scene couldn’t leave my mind and my eyes when i finally blow up with cries while i was telling my friend about the story.

Love, kiss and hug the persons you love...u never know if u will see them tomorrow.

Every time i watch the TV, i become nervous. They interrupt our favorite TV series, movies, news, shows…to impose their ads. It’s everywhere we go…we can’t escape it…
It forbids us to get bored…it forbids us to think…Our desire doesn’t belong to us anymore: they impose their one. They defend us to desire randomly and hazardously. Our desire is the investment’s result of billions of Dollars and Euros...

Of course, i’m talking about advertisment. Advertising can be described as the most spread form of persuasion in the world. That’s why U.S. businesses spend $135 billion dollars on TV, radio, and print ads each year. About one fourth of every television hour and over 50% of most magazines and billboards consists of advertising.
All what they want is making money by all the ways to survive in this competitive business society. They are ready to sell us bulshits showing it as an “exclusive product”, “scientific breakthrough” or “miraculous cure”. Most of the time they are fooling us, playing on our 5 senses: the sight by variating the colors and using sexy persons (the “before” and “after” is modified my photoshop software), the hearing by using emotionnal music background, nice sexy voices, special effects ect...

Misleading advertising is spreading more and more. People are getting trapped, because the marketing stategies and tactics are getting developped, because the ways to convince us to buy this or that product are getting stronger and because simply people follow blindly their inconsciousness which was already covered by the dust of the advertisment’s effect.

I can’t list how many product has been shown as “amazing’ and “revolutional” while it was a simple “lie”. I can’t list all the complaning list of people who have been victims of misleading advertising, starting from famous companies like “Dior”, “L’Oreal”...reaching the new born chineese firms.

Wake up people, don’t believe whatever u see, whatever u read or whatever u hear. The expensive cost doesn’t reflect the “good quality”, the good testimonials don’t translate the “effectiveness of the product”, the fat free label won’t make you thin and the antiwinkle won’t make you look younger.

I’m not against Marketing, i’m against its dishonesty.

It all started on one disastrous day. First she lost the person she loved, then came her accident.
I was looking at her face...she was pale and tired. Some scars around her eyes and front... Taking cigarette after cigarette and aking for more black coffee. The bottom has fallen out of her world and she, so calm, so poised, found herself at a loss.

The weather was amazing...everybody was walking, jogging, sitting in a cafe. I was looking around us...everybody was smiling and laughing exept her. She wasn’t talkative “to make her bag empty”... i was pushing her to talk and to evacuate the pressure she is hiding, but it didn’t work. We gave the tips to the waiter and left the cafe. I was thinking how can i break that silence and that sad ambiance. She asked me to drive her home...but i didn’t listen to her. I convinced her to enjoy the sun for the few hours left. I know perfectly that the sun didn’t work and won’t work for her, that’s why i stoped my car in front of theatre to check if there is something interesting around there...she was little upset, telling me she is not in the mood for movies. I didn’t listen to her, i paid two tickets for the next show...we had to wait 30 min more. Meanwhile we bought popcorn and coke and looked around the movies posters...
The movie i picked was extremely funny...i did it on purpose to bring her some smiles.
During the projection of the film, i couldn’t believe my eyes and my ears...she was transformed into another person...even she was shocked with the popcorn because of laughing...i noticed some tears in her eyes...that’s because of the crazy laughters we had.
We spent 2 hours non-stop laughing. When we went out of the theatre, i saw sparkles in her eyes, sparkles of joy, of life, of relaxion... her big beautiful smile took a remarkable place on her face. Inconsciousely, she was talking more about everything and nothing at the same time. We turned the music on and loud in my car. I was singing with “Alanis Morissette” ...and she followed me, secretly in the beggining then when i started dancing with my head and hands, she increased her voice.

I felt satisfaction when i saw her in another state 180 degree different than when i first met her today. I felt happy to heal some of her pain by a simple method...all that thanks to some laughters. It costs nothing... it is free, valuable and 100% efficient.
If you want to help someone feeling in blue or if you want to help yourself, bring the funniest person around you or watch a comedy...believe me it works!
