ANNE WITH AN 'E' S01E01 Review

Scrumptious. Agony. Wonderful. Cherry Blossoms. Red Hair. Ugly. Skinny, Freckles.

These are some of my fav terms Anne spelled with an "E" used to express herself on the pilot episode of its 1st season. I am delighted, or I should say "Enchante". It truly brought me to the wonders of living on a beautiful farmland like the Green Gable. Actually, I really did not catch where Green Gable is, I heard the word Australia in some of their conversation. But I am pretty sure it isn't the Down Under, for I saw no kangaroo or wild animals roaming around the fields. It's obviously not in the Great Britain nor Ireland - I heard none of their accents on this episode. Well, maybe in North America, but I am not sure whether in Canada or what state in the USA. Perhaps I'll find out on the next episode.

I like the way Anne speak herself, especially the one she had with Rachel. I laughed - it brought me great delight. The way she compose every sentence make me feel I am hearing stories of make-believe or of the talks of wonders. Of course, I must admit, I felt sorry for her experiences before she came to Green Gable. The moment she said that she never had the chance to be a child breaks my heart into pieces.

To tell you the truth, I already watched the first 2 episodes of the second season. It was an honest mistake, I thought I was downloading the two episodes of the 1st season on Netflix because it first appeared on the selection. Well because of that - I knew about Nathaniel and his gold affair and the testing of soil on the Green Gable. But no more spoilers. That's it then. Cheers! Good night! (I can say good night because I had a good one, and I hope you had too.)

GREEK LANGUAGE

The nation of Greece holds much history, and even the word "history" itself started there. Language and literature, Greeks got them. The beauty it offers overwhelms your heart completely. Tourist come and go. The artistry of their houses and the blueness of their seas. But what is the official language of the Greeks? Greeks are proud people. They speak their own language, they love their own.

So for tourist, no need to hassle yourself, they know English specially in the tourism department.

They will much appreciate if you try a little bit of their language, this is somewhat way of sharing your interest to them, also it offers respect. Greece's official language and spoke by 99% of the population is G...

EMPEROR NERO AND TWO SMALL GLASS CUPS

Glass has very unique and enigmatic tale to offer to the modern society. People of old used obsidian – a natural black volcanic glass for arrowheads, knives, ornaments, and as tools. However, there was a man so enchanted by its beauty, who was willing to pay a great sum of money to have it. In 37-68 A.D., this was the time of extravagance and excessive indulgence, a luxury-loving Emperor of Ancient Rome named Nero was so delighted by the beauty of these sparkling brightness that he spent 6,000 sesterces for only two small cups. That is about $2,500 on today’s currency! Who can deny the glistening luster of glass, as well as its many, many usages! Glass comes from rather peculiar properties, you see its base is pure silica sand. Now, what is silica sand? It is composed of the mineral quartz, which is a compound of the elements silicon and oxygen. To make it even better, soda ash and lime or potash and lime are added to the sand. These mixture act as fluxing agents or in ot...

INDIRA GANDHI

She dominated Indian politics from 1966 until her death by assassination in October 31, 1984, shot to death by two of her own Sikh security guards (for me: A very painful death). Indira Gandhi was one of the outstanding woman political figure and political leader of her time and was prime minister of India. Indira was born on November 19, 1917 in Uttar Pradesh state. She was educated at schools in England and Switzerland as well as in India. Jawaharlal Nehru was her father, the first prime minister of independent India. She married a lawyer named Feroze Gandhi in 1942. Rajiv and Sanjiv were their two sons. Gandhi was concisely involved in the effort that led to Indian independence in 1947. After her father died in 1964, she served as minister of information and broadcasting under his successor, Lal Bahadur Shastri. In 1966, she became prime minister following Shastri’s death. Unrivaled as a politician, Gandhi implemented a powerful hold over millions of Indians, princi...
