Arpa Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 yes it 's an opera...directed by Krikor Satamian....I know the lead singer Ani Maldjian...I have no idea where it is though...but I can find out.. style_images/master/snapback.png I was hoping that it would have been booed and boycotted. Maybe it is not too late to boo and boycott that production. How many times I composed letters to addressed to Satamian and the AGBU but decided not to send. It is beyond me how 150 years after we have cut all contact with them we still advertise our own culture in their rotten language. That opera is known as Karine and the reason for the Turkish title was due to the cultural oppression of the time. I hope you guys make your voice heard and have Satamian reconsider the title of that opera. Here is the opening and closing lines of the most famous tune of that opera. Menq qaj tohmi zavakner enq chenq vakhi, Manr-mur portsanqnerits chenq pakhchi. .... Togh imanan menq chenq darna khaghaliq, Aynpes pit tsetsenq vor hishen how harsaniq.

Maral Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 So many people say that...and of course the theatre will be full...go figure. And why would you not send your letter and let your voice be heard? It really does not good to complain if the people in charge dont' hear about it...like I said as long as the tickets sell they will keep on doing it.

Anileve Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 That avatar is actually from the day I first posted on this forum. It was from a link where the hippo danced to the “Thong Song.” Apparently the url recalled several porno popups and was instantly deleted by Sip, because everyone instantly freaked out, especially hyebruin who was so outraged that she cried for me to “Get out” and called me a sicko or something of that sort. Garo sent me my first warning. In other words everyone got their panties twisted in a knot. How quickly things are credited to others, such is the fate of my Hippos short lived fame, while Emil is relishing in his glory. Se la vi!

Maral Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 THE SECRET One day, one friend asked another, "How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down." With her eyes smiling, she said, "I know the Secret!" "What secret is that?" To which she replied, "I'll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share the Secret with others." "The Secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and to meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy." The questioner's first thought was, "That's too simple!" But upon reflecting over her own life she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn't! She thought a better paying job would make her happy, but it hadn't. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, a simple gift from God. Now you know it too! We can't depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that. Trust HIM! And now I pass the Secret on to you! So once you get it, what will you do? YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too! That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU! But it's not really a secret... We just have to believe it and do it... Really trust God!

Maral Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 One day someone's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. No more hugs, no more special moments to Celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away . . . never to return before we can say good-bye, or say "I love you." So while we have it . . it's best we love it . . and care for it . . and fix it when it's broken . . .. and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage . . and old cars . . and children with bad report cards. . . and dogs with bad hips and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they're worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what. Life is important, like people we know who are special . . . and so, we keep them close!
