15.11.2009 Birthday of Tweety!

When I moved to my flat one month ago, on the wall in the kitchen I saw something weird...
It looked like a caterpillar...

Don't touch it! It can be alive!

haha, and I was right ^^ it was alive

It was a butterfly. Cute, yellow butterfly ^^

This is Tweety ^^

It's too cold outside to put him out...

...so he stays in my room ^^


Isn't he cute? ^^

He's flying in the room and sitting on everything ^^

I know he should be free, but the weather is very bad and butterflies don't live in this season. He can survive in a house. Butterflies' life is very short... They live few days, but this species lives about 10 months and don't die in the winter because they sleep in fallen leaves. But this one was born in a house and it's too late to let him go. So he can wait for spring in my room in a box with leaves ^^

And at the end something interesting: It is said that his wings smell like a lemon...^^

Yesterday was my birthday. I got many B-day's wishes from my friends and 2 wonderful gifts.

One of my best friend, Ania, lives far away, because we study in different cities, so she couldn't give me a real gift. But she's very smart and has solved this problem. She sent me birthday's wishes in all places on Internet where I can see them and I had to find 10 different websites where she wrote something for me. And she added a blog entry on alivenotdead specially for me:

Thank you very much, WS ;*

And my second best friend, Basia, who rents with me a flat, gave me a book about China ^^


...and wrote for me on the first 3 pages birthday's wishes in Chinese... ^^

She's really crazy...


...all in Chinese characters ^^

Now I must find some time to read this book...

谢谢我的爱人 ;*

Thank you for all wishes ;) I was the great B-Day!

"Butterflies should be a pair. One left behind is very lonely."

Last Sunday I was walking. I saw an injured white butterfly. It had a broken wing and was flying low over ground. It stopped for a while.



It looked very tired. And suddenly another white butterfly came. It seemed like it wanted to help. It was flying around the hurt butterfly. When it was down, second butterfly was with this butterfly. And when it was going up, the second one was going up, too.


I made only one photo with these two butterflies. It's not very well. But you must trust me. They was flying together all time when I was there. They looked like lovers. I don't know that butterflies can love. Some species of animals are with the same partner whole life. Maybe it's a legend or maybe it's a truth...

When I saw this butterfly last time, it was flying between trees. I don't know it's still alive. Probably not, because it was very hard injured and looked exhausted.



Do animals have feelings? Many people think they don't.

I think they have.

“What is an abhorrence for the death? Naturally, an instinct depending on an illusion. Some people have the abhorrence for a mouse, which is a totally innocuous creature or the abhorrence for strawberries, which are pretty tasty. What is the fear of the death?... Just the illusion! To die is being nowhere, feeling nothing and thinking about nothing. In how many places I’m not today: I’m not in USA, in Paris, on the moon. I’m not in my shop and it doesn’t frighten me. And how many things I haven’t just now thought about and I’m not thinking now? I think about one thing and I don’t think about billion another things. I don’t know about them anything and I don’t care about it. So, what can be upsetting in this situation? I’m in one place instead in one million places. I think about one thing instead about one billion things. I’ll be off in this one place and I’ll think off this one thing. Indeed, the fear of the death is the drollest illusion which humanity stoops to it for ages. Wildmen are afraid of a thunder, a gun, even a mirror. And we, seemingly civilized people, we’re afraid of the death!...”
