Efa ela no niandrasanao azy. Iny ary fa tonga.

Toerana iray ‘ty natokana hametrahan’ny mpamaky ny fihetseham-pony. Soraty avokoa izay tianao holazaina rehetra fa tsy misy bedy zany eo. Ny teny rehetra rehefa misy dikany dia azo soratana avokoa.

Tsy misy ny teny ratsy fa tsara kosa nefa raha toa ka mba asiana ihany ny fifanajana.

Natao ity faritra iray ity hoy aho mba ametrahana diam-penina.
Ny gazety mantsy hono ry zareo natao ho an’ny olona manana vola ihany ( Ar200 vao mamaky). Ny tranokala kosa ty efa afaka jerena na dia Ar15 fotsiny ihany aza. Aza misalasala mihitsy araka izany fa mazotoa.

Inona avy ary ireo zavatra mety horesahina ato amin’ity faritra ity?

Raha izany no fanontaniana mandalo ao anatin’ny sainao dia tsotra ihany ny valiny.

Izay zavatra rehetra azo soratana tsy misy fetra. Raha ny ahy nefa no tiako an, dia mety hafinaritra raha rony zavatra tsy sahin’ny olona aseo eny imasom-bahoaka ireny no habahana ato.

Tsy ho ela dia hahazo vaovao mikasika izany ianao fa mahareta kely!

flag1Real time pictures, a new date to remember.

After the first meeting organized by the so called little boy: “Zandry kely” last week (January 17, 2009), he has been drawing some young people to the independence avenue today.
Crowed were joining the meeting. Still to know if that was a day event or the start of a new revolution.

No more comments, here are some pictures telling from themselves.

Jirama
Jirama is the only one firm providing electricity and clean water up to now here in Madagascar. This firm has never had competitors in that business.
Now is the time for Jirama to make a revolution. That is far to be an ultimatum but just a reminder and an awakening to the real situation.
Because customers are not satisfied of the quality of the services, they will for sure look after some other alternatives. Among that, we have lots of ideas but not that much experience.
But when enough is more than enough, there is no way to keep on dealing with that bad service condition offered by Jirama. It is time to face the music.
For instance,
1-Jirama is supposed to inform his customers whenever he plans an outage. He can use whatever means of communication once it gets to the most of population’s hears.
Not long, we could have noticed shortage here and there in Antananarivo. But Jirama did not mind about getting his customers informed in advance. Even his web  page hasn’t got any information about that last.

2-Billing : I don’t know much about what is going on in their offices but if it was about computers, I would say that there should have been infected by viruses at list to give a fake calculation.
In a semester how could that be possible that you have to pay pretty the same amount each month when no one is home during holidays.
Dam as I am, I think that what they do is not that normal. I really wonder what those diploma holders are doing. Aren’t they supposed to do something right up there?
When you ask for explanation, that is what you get:
“We couldn’t take the consumption report during those last months and we just calculate the average of your monthly bill. That’s why you owe the Jirama this amount of money. In case you over pass the said amount, you have to quench the gap.”
The question you may wonder is I guess: And if the asked amount is too much compared with what I consume?
Here is the reply: “Then you pay what it asked first. Later on, we make the discount within the coming bill”
Hope they are not gonna get us.

That one is just a case among thousands. Here is another one.
You’re from home and receive a bill from Jirama. How surprising it to see that you owe more than the normal money to the Jirama.

The reason is just simple. By dint of reading the paper (I don’t wanna use the world bill since it doesn’t deserve it) you can understand that you are among those who didn’t pay the previous consumption.
Even more the two or the three last. Come now!
If you did pay the three last consumptions and you still get a paper from Jirama telling that you’ve got to pay those three months. Don’t lose your temper for that. That is the way they work. That’s obvious.
In case you need more info, don’t waste your time joining their offices; just bring the receipt proving that you’ve paid them already and period. In case you’ve thrown them away (that’s is your bad, they don’t care) you’ve to pay what is said on the paper in order to have a new receipt of payment. And that is the only one thing to do if you still want to have an energized household.
Here is a trick to forget that entire accountancy problems, vodka straight from the bottle.
I look myself being given a prize :-)

That’s all fluff! What makes me special is the following.
I do like giving my personal comments but I love finding some more solutions for things that are not good for my blood. I don’t like being juggled forever.
Guys, here is my question then. How can we get electrified without paying any money to the Jirama? (Or at least, the least of amount)
Feel free and realize yourself. I need your how know to get out of that dead lock.

You have an apple.
I have an apple.
We exchange our apples,
each of us still has an apple.

If I have an Idea,
and you have an Idea.
If we exchange our ideas,
we both will have two Ideas.

2008 has gone; we are still alive so far. Congratulation Guys!
When I was 8 or 10, I was thinking of my future. I didn’t imagine that being adult is such a big deal. Not to mention about being old ;-)
I am trying to seize the day and take the most of each second that is offered to me.
I now realize that feeding a greedy like wasn’t easy. I used to blame my parents since I could get any fat under my skin. Slim as I am, I could be easily blown away by the wind in summer.
Now, as I am getting old. I try to foresee my future 
there is nothing I can see. It’s like everything depends on tomorrow. But tomorrow doesn’t belong to me. It’s not that I am sick and won’t live a bit longer. But tomorrow’s weather is to be discovered.

Tonga tokoa izao ny andro famaranana ny taona!
Andro vitsivitsy sisa dia migadona ilay andro firavoravoana fanombohana ny taona 2009.

Ho tapitra tokoa izao ny taona 2008; tsara raha mba manao fandinihana kely ihany isika momba ny tsara sy ny ratsy vita tamin’iny taona lasa
iny: nisy ve ny fivoarana tao anatin’izay fotoana izay sa dia tsy niova mihitsy ny fiainana?
Mbola manana andro vitsivitsy isika hieritreeretana momba izay ka izay lesoka rehetra hita dia mety tokoa raha hitadiavana vaha olana.
Aza matahotra fa io dia handalovan’ny olona rehetra fa ny fiezahana miala sy tsy manao izany intsony no ahafahana mivoatra ary mitombo fahendrena.

Ao anatin’ny fety isika izao: tokony hahay handanjalanja ny zavatra hatao na ny fihetsika na ny fihinanana na ny fisotroana.
Tsy tsapan’ireo izay mihoa-pefy mantsy fa tsy mahatonga azy aiza akory izany tsy fahalalana honony izany fa filibana sy fanimbana tena ihany.

Raha hiari-tory isika dia tsara raha mahalala maka aina tsara alohan’ny hanaovana izany sy ao aoriana,raha manangona sy mamerina ny hery rehetra ilaina sy ampiasain’ny vatana. Maka aina e!
Ny zava-mahadomelina dia mety tokoa raha halavirina satria tsy tsara ho an’ny fahasalamana izany ary tsy misy mahatsara azy mihitsy: mitondra ny vatana hiala amin’ny fieritreretana ary mety hampidi-doza ihany koa

Mirary fety sambatra ho anareo ary izaho ary hitondra soa sy fanambinana ho anareo anie ity taona ho avy manaraka ity.

Na tanora na lehibe na antitra dia samy efa saika nanao ny adalana keliny daholo teo amin’ny sehatry ny fitondrana fiara na moto na bisikileta.
Amin’izany na iza na iza dia tandindomin-doza foana eny an-dalana ka izany indrinra no tokony hitandremana

Ianao mamaky io ve rehefa mandeha eny amin’ny arabe dia mba mahalala mandeha eny amin’ny toerana voatokana ho an’ny mpandeha an-tongotra sa dia isan’ireo tsy manara-dalana ka eny am-povoan’ny arabe no mitonatonana?
tsara ny manamarika fa ny zavatra rehetra dia natao satria ilaina sy mahasoa indrindra moa fa ireny fananana hiombonan’ny vahoaka ireny.
Ary raha miampita ianao dia mba mahalala mamonjy ny toerana natokana amin’izany ve sa dia eny amin’izay mamin’ny tena ihany???

Ary raha toa ka isan’ireo mitondra fiara ianareo.Moa ve mba mahalala manaja ny fepetra rehetra sa manao izay danin’ny kibonareo fotsiny?
mba mandeha amin’ny antonony ve ianareo sa mirifadrifatra be?

Mba asio fiheverana ihany re ny atao fa lahitokana ny aina ka isika mety mihevitra fa zavatra toy izany dia tsy mahatonga na inona na inona nefa tsarovy fa ireny no hipohiran’ny trangan-javatra mahatsiravina
mahavery ny aina.Toerana rasty hatrany no hiafaranaraha tsy mitandrina sy tsy mifanaja, na n y any am-ponja na ny any amin’ny hopitaly, na am-pasana
Koa aleo samy handray ny- fanapahan-keviny ny tsirairay.

Betsaka tokoa ny ady miseho eo anivon’ny mpifankatia.
Mila lanjalanjaina ihany anefa ny fihetsika sy ny fiteny ambara rehefa tojo ireny
trangan-javatra ireny satria mety hanimba ny fon’ny iray ary indraindray
mahalatsa-dranomaso tsy fidiny!

Raha sendra nisy ny zavatra nanembatsembana anao nataon’ny olon-tianao dia tsaratsara kokoa ianao raha tsy manao fihetsika mahery na fiteny mahery aminy satria tiany ianao ka mety hanimba ny fahasalamany izany.
Tsy tsara ihany koa ianao raha maneho fihetsika manambara fa tsy dia misy dikany loatra izy na misy na tsy misy ary indrindra maneho fa ianao dia afaka miaina tsy misy azy:
mankarary ny anaty izany ary tsy levon’ny vavony!
O ry zareo a! Na maro aza ny olana mety hiseho dia ataovy tsapan’ny malalanareo fa tianareo izy ary aza mamela azy ho irery fa tsy mora izany!
Raha tena tianao ny olona miaraka aminao dia aza ariana izy na amin’ny fotoana na toy inona na toy inona! Ary lazao azy, asehoy azy fa tinao foana izy n’inon’inona hadisoana hataony (fa iza moa no tsy mba diso e! impiry diso ianao ao anatin’ny andro iray ary impiry averinao moa io hadisoana io mandritra ny fiainanao iray manontolo? Ohatra iray ny fangalaram-pihinana:fony fahakely dia atao foana izany fa rehefa lehibe dia niala ihany.)
Mba fantatrareo ve moa fa mahabado ne ity mitia olona ity e! Izany no mahatonga ny mpifankatia miady satria rehefa tafalatsaka tanteraka ny iray dia lasa manome ny rehetra any aminy izy ka very daholo ilay hafetsena madinidinika. Hany ka rehefa miresaka dia mbola tsy maintsy sahirankirana kely amin’ilay mieritreritra hoe ahoana indray moa izao no ialako amin’ilay fametsena? AMin’ny voalohany izany fa mila fahazarana fotsiny!
Tena tantara marina izany ary efa voadinika.

Setrin’ izany rehetra izany, rehefa fantatrareo izany ny antony mahatonga ny iray manao zavatra iray dia fantaro sy karohy amin’izay ny fomba fifanazavana!

For children, it is a right to join a school in order to get knowledge and finally get a better job which normally gives a better life.
“None is born to be poor “but there are people that never will be rich.
What are the possible alternatives if your parents have nothing and can’t afford your schooling? And suppose that though they want you join school, they just can’t.
People from outside will criticize them and gossip that your parents are not responsible, etc.
They will say that they are wrong doing that and what they just have to do is to let them attend those classes where most of the basic means are supported by the government.
You, as being the only one knowing the real situation, will take the initiative and look for whatever job you can do to help your parents raising the daily income of the family. Having yourself fed out of the parents’ expense is a start for you.
How does that appeal to you? Is what I just wrote might be the real situation?
I don’t really know but what I have seen lately is a whole family working under the sun’s hit for plates of rice. Yep, sweat before sweet. Isn’t that the thing?

Regarding that last, I was talking to a person responsible of a “Fokontany” (an area within a district) in the southern part of Madagascar recently. That person is well known in his area and loved by most of young people in there. Himself as being the father of three children, loves gathering children from the whole village and telling them stories and tales. We both had a chat and he said to me that he has been asking the responsible from the government to build a school in there two times yet. But no good result so far. Bored, he is to give up the demand.
He then said that he drops it down though he is filling sad not being able to do something more to those children that he used to telling stories every day.
From what he is doing, he contrasted that those children have the thirst of knowledge. But as they are too much distant from the nearest school, which is at about 20 km, there is nothing more they can do than improving their knowledge right on the field and start helping their parents doing house chores.
I do believe that things can change if we guys synchronize our forces and work all together to help those children leave the box where they are nowadays.

Few years yet, Madagascar tends to be an English speaking country. Though, far from that point, the new youth generation is more and more attracted to that tendency.
For all the Middle Ages (born before the 90’s) it is pretty hard to get that point and to learn new this so called 3rd language in Madagascar. To a scientist, a human can speak a new language in roughly a month if he is under 7 years old and is living inside within the society which is using the language.
I don’t know guys if you do realize how amazing it is to learn a language once you are old enough and not able memorize most of the grammar rules of the language. Learning thing from scratch is not just a good thing for old people.
So, seize the day and take a stub while you are young. Also, mind not to lose your time with those vocational institutes here and there telling that they offer the best means to learn English language in just few months. Better first, reading and asking advice from friends. That is what this blog is for.
In Antananarivo the most famous places to learn English are:
-University of Ankatso
-ACC Antanimena
-Cnela Antsahabe
-Eli Soarano
-TOP Flight Andravoahangy Ambony
-Welcome center Ankazotokana
-Alpha School 67 ha

Depending on your situation and level, one of those listed above should be able to help you improve your English. If not, the list can be added if needs be.
Other alternative is being a self-taught. Means are now available from wherever you are.
Internet is I suppose the tool for it. But never books are out of the directory.
You can for instance use:
-“Practical grammar in use” is to fine tune your grammar (I do search one in case anyone has)
-“Street talk” is to help you learn and practice English in a daily use
-“Headway” is to master the whole about English
and some other stuff.

But above all, as far as I know, practice is the only one way to master English Language.
I advice you then to join a club. Here are some :
-Ice Club at EPP Rabearivelo every Saturday morning
-EFL at ELI Soarana every Saturday morning.
-MLEC at Analakely on Mondays and Thursdays at noon.

Last alternative and not to neglect is to watch movies and Listen to English speaking radio broadcats.
For that, you have :
-Feon’imerina -FM 101.6- on Saturdays from 7.15pm to 8.15pm (Local time)
-Radio Mada -FM 100.8- on Saturday from 4pm to 5.30pm (Local time)
-BBC -FM 89.2- round the clock
-VOA -FM 101.2-

That is what I can fo sor far. Questions, comments are welcome :-)

Betsaka tokoa no tsy mahalala ny atao hoe “kalon’nY fahiny” ankehitriny.
Maro ihany anefa ny tanora no tena liana amin’io farany na dia eo aza ny mpanefoefo.
Tsara ho fantatra anefa ny soa ho entin’ireny karazan-kira ireny
eo amin’ny fiaraha-monina.
Ny hira taloha ohatra raha ampitahaina amin’ny an’izao fotoana dia lava dia lava
ny fehezanteny mandrafitra azy ka manampy ny fitadidiana hiasa tsara ary
mitondra anatra maro isan-karazany rahateo moa izy ireny no sady ahitana sarin-teny
isan-karazany.

Marina fa efa misy ny fivoarana fa tsara ihany koa anefa ny mitahiry azy
ireny satria ireny tokoa ny maha-malagasy ny gasy fa tsy ny fanovanovana ny an’ny hafa
akory. Miavaka tokoa ireny hira ireny na eo amin’ny sehatry ny gadona izany na eo amin’ny
sehatry ny kanto:
1 – ny BA GASY no mandravaka ny hira ary izy io dia ahitana fifanenjehana mirindra
tokoa eo amin’ny feo efatra.
Matetika dia feo 4 hatrany no hita eo amin’ny hira iray ary tsy manakana ny fisian’ny
hira kaloina amin’ny feo telo na roa na tokana ihany koa izany.
Tsara ihany koa ny mahalala fa ny Kalon’ny fahiny dia saika ho noforonina ho haingon’ny
tantara an-tsehatra ka miompana amina lohahevitra maro isan-karazany.

2 ny FIHETSIKA AN-TSEHATRA ataon’ny mpiangaly ihany koa dia mampihaina tanteraka
ny hira ary ny fitafiny kosa dia raitra maneho tokoa ny Maha-Malagasy:
maontina miaraka amin’ny tao volo maneho ny maha izy antsika ary tsy hadino ny haingo
isan-karazany.

Ny hira ankehitriny kosa anefa dia mivantambatana tsy milaza zavatra be firy fa manintona
ny sofina fotsiny nohon’ny fivoaran’ny haingony eo amin’ny lafin’ny feon-kira.

Inty ary misy sombin-tononkira-na kalon’ny fahiny iray, mba jereo ne ny hakantony e!

Ny ankanga izay tsara soratra mamiratra raha tazanina
Manjelatra toy ny holatra mahajemby sy mahafanina
Tsy tana an-trano izy kanefa dia mora taitra

Ny akoho tamana an-trano kosa toa jentitra sy kanosa
Mavomavo malefadefaka,maontimaontina raha mireasaka
Handosirana vao manantona hisentoana rehefa takona

Ka iza no tianao
Lazao izay safidinao
Ny mamiratra sa ny vasoka
Ka mahaiza misafidy ny tenanao no aoka handidy

Mety manoritsoritra koa nefa ny tononkirany

MBA TAZANO SOMARY HALAVIRO
IZATO IARIVO MIREHITRA JIRO
FA MANEMBONA HAINGAM-PANAHY
NY SENTO FONGARIN’NY TSIAHY
MIRAKITRA ZAVATRA LALINA
IARIVO JERENA AMIN’NY ALINA

RAHA HILAOZANA RE MBA HIDIRO
TAKARIVA MIREHITRA JIRO
NY RANOMASO INJAY FA MARIVO
RAHA MIJERY IREO JIRO AN’ARIVO
TSY HAIN’NY SAINA HO FONGARINA
NY FITEMPON’NY FO EFA MANINA

Farany, ny hira kalon’ny fahiny dia mitovitovy amin’ny hira amin’ny teny anglisy satria
ny tononkirany dia sahala : samy tsy miverimberina ny tonony ary mampita hafatra sy anatra maro ny hira iray.
Diniho kely anie e!

“Dearly beloved are you listening?
I can’t remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
The space that’s in between insane and insecure
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
Nobody’s perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that’s my best excuse”

Izay ary aloha ny masaka azo natolotra aminio fa dia mazotoa daholo e!

Farany, misy hetsika mety mahaliana anao ao amin’ny tranom-pokonola Isotry- anio ariva Zoma faha 19 desambra ariva raha toa ka tia Kanon’ny fahiny ianao.

malagasy

Lahatra ve ny fahantrana?

Raha ny eto amin’ny tany Malagasy no asian-dresaka dia mbola maro lavitra ny mahantra raha hoarina amin’ny mpanana.
Raha ny atsasamanila ny Malagasy mantsy dia mbola tsy mahita sakafo aradalana ( Mihinana sakafo izay manome ny ery ilaina etina ny vatana hitombona sy hanatanterahina ny asa) isan’andro izany..Rehefa voky ny kibo dia efa ampy izay. Any ka mofogasy roa sy kafe na dite ray kopy dia efa ampy ny sakafo maraina.
Sanatria akory tsy hoe anakihina ny sasany fa milaza ny zavamisy fotsiny ihany.Ka izao, raha mofo gasy sy dite zay fotsiny no atao sakafo maraina ( izany hoe hery hoetina miatrika ny andro manotolo artamin’ny 50 isan-jato ) dia tsy havita ameno ny filan’ny vatana mihitsy zany.(raha tsy hoe misakafo ‘nga dia aveo matory miala sasatra).
Nohon’ny tsy fisiana sy ny fahazarana nefa dia lasa toa tsy mampaninona ny vatana intsony izany. Raisiny foana izay kely noaninao ( mofo gasy 2 sy dite ray kopy) ary ny any fomba angalany hery hoety miasa dia ny tahiry kely izay tokony ho lasa tavy indray no kikisany.
Raha jerena ny lafiny hafa nefa dia tsra ihany satria tsy hataorana ny hatavy be toy irony mpanao tolona toy irony any Japon irony ianao.

Izany rehetra izany moa dia notao ho taridresaka fotinsy ihany hidirana sy hanadiadiana ny fanotaniana hoe : Lahatra ve ny Fahantrana?

Inona ary moa no atao hoe lahatra? Maro ny valinteny amin’izany fa raha ny ahy dia ‘ndeha fotsiny hofaritana hoe ny lahatra dia ireo zavatra miseo tsy ananan’ny olombelona fahefana fa dia tsy maintsy ekena.
Ny fahantrana kosa dia ho lazaintsika hoe ny tsy fahafahana mameno ny filalana na ara bola, fanahy, fitiavana,…

Tsy aiko loatra lo raha toa ka lahatra ny fahantrana fa ny any fantatro dia tsy misy olona na dia iray aza angamba te-hahantra eo amin’ny fiainany. Fa maninona kosa nefa no mbola misy ihany ny mahantra?
So mba efa maro loatra ny manana ka tsy ampy tsony ny toerana e? Sa ve, ny arena mila vitana?
Mety ny olona niantra sy nandrato fianarana ihany angamba no afaka manakarena ka!
Maninona nefa ny mpofinay tany amin’ny Oniversite tsy mba mananana fiara akory? Maninona le dokotera etsy andrefantrano etsy tsy mitondra na dia Moto kely aza?
Very fanahy mihitsy aho ry reto a! Sao nareo manana sosokevitra na valin-teny amin’io fanotanina io?
Lahatra ve ny fahantrana?
