Magie Alvarez Calleja aka Maddi, Maiuki

We have a video of Maddi spinning at Guys bar, Haad Tien, one of the few times she danced poi with an audience.. Can one of the Down the Rabbit Hole crowd post it? I think it in the file from Nao.

Her beauty humour and kindness and joy shines through everything.

I miss her too much already.

What a waste of a really beautiful person.

I dont think I've ever met a person more bursting with life.



At least it sounds like she was doing something she loved...

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86.400.
It carries over no balance from day to day,
every evening it deletes
whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.

What would you do?
Draw out every cent of course!!!?
Each of us has such a bank.
It's name is TIME.

Every morning it credits you witch 86.400 seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest.
It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.

Each day it opens a new account for you.
Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back.
There is no drawing against the "tomorrow".
You must live in the present of today's deposits.
Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today.

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth prematurely.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask the person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.


Treasure every moment that you have!
And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.
And remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!!

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend you an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

Show your friends how much you care.....

..............(...).....come into our lifes

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!
Live and savour every moment - it's not a dress rehearsal.

When you came to this world you have been crying
and everyone around you was laughing and smiling.

Live your life in a way that, when you leave
you're the one smiling
and everyone around you is crying.

Selfishness and ego leads a long way -
love and care leads so much further...

Magie had to go, she was taken far too early and too fast.
With me she left a memory and a desire.
A desire to be cheerful, loving and caring.
And all that coming from the heart.

She was not one who was or needed to be in the centre of attention all the time,
she was one who was able to enjoy in silence.

She reminds me of a few things all at once:
To be authentic, to be myself and to follow my heart.
Not in selfishness, but in correlation with my surroundings.
Compromising is not a weakness.

Thank you Magie for this reminder,
the times and words we shared were more than enough to cast a void
by the time you left forever.

May you rest in peace.

Thank you that you have been here and thank you for opening your heart and show me your light.

i-,m deeply sad..ther-s nothing to understand,nothing to bring back,nothing to say,i just can stand with all my feelings in this moments...

josh

was thinking maybe someone with technology could set up a web page where we could put the pics and video we have of her, some place her family could acess it? What do you think? I have a gazillion lovely photos of this beautiful radiant being , and thought maybe others would like to see them, particularly as a gift of memories for those closest to her to know how she impacted and inspired so many lives in her short time on this earth...

She went to Yemen really happy I think. I feel so so lucky to have got to have spent lots of time with her in the last month. What energy!!

i hope to see here again in some way...

Andrea I think it's a wonderful idea.

I checked and "www.maiuki.org" would be available. Unfortunately "magie.org" or "maddie.org" or "maddi.org" would be taken already.

If anyone is interested in joining a project like Andrea proposed, please let me know. I would be ready to register and perpetuate the domain - so to care for the financial side - but do have no time to care for set up, layout and maintenance (apart that I don't know how it works).

Also I do send my deepest hugs and support for Maddies family and you, Ronan. Every time I think about her, I do get chills and tears fill my eyes. Not easy to stay soft these days...

to josh, andrea, gabe, firetom, ....etc.

@kyle:
could you possibly send me a pm with facts like where to go whom to contact...phone numbers of anya and/or till...etc. as i am seriously thinking about coming to berlin on the 12 th to spin fire for maiuki as well....
cheers,


thx

@firetom: maiuki.org would be wonderful

It's one of those things, isn't it, that we become calloused about because we hear about car bombings and attacks on the news all the time. Every day and eventually you turn it off, either in your own head or on the tele because it never really effects you or is near you...
that is until such needless, senseless tragedy touches you and makes it all so frighteningly real... and it just breaks my heart and makes me mad.

God speed sweet angel. Now you can be with everyone and everywhere you want. Your love will be an inspiration to many for a long time to come.

Healing wishes to all who knew and were touched by her.

Ah F.u.c.k.i.n H.e.l.l... as Maddie would say... It took me a while to find this thread... but thankful I final did.

This terrible senseless loss makes me miss all my Thailand fire spinning family so much. In my heart I've known I'd cross many of your paths again somewhere somehow, it never occurred to me something like this might make it impossible. Tom's right, and I think I lot of us already live this way, but every second of life is precious and we all need to make each precious second count.

Tom - Of course no problem using the photo

Andrea - I have the videos from Guys bar and I think a tribute website if a great idea. I'm headed from Nepal to Tibet in a few days where half the internet is filtered and blocked (flickr, my blog, wiki, god knows what else...) so I'm not the one try to do anything online for a while. Let me know though and I can find a way to get it (internet/CD in the mail) where ever it needs to go.

The tribute website is a great idea indeed. I could host it and get the domain name for it but I don't have the skills to build a site where people can upload their pics and videos.

What we could do for now is use Flickr and Youtube for sharing these pics and videos and tag them with "Maiuki". I checked Youtube and there are no search results for Mauiki but plenty for Maddie. In Flickr it's the same except there's some pics already of her under Mauiki. So I added my 3 pics of her to my Flickr account aswell... http://www.flickr.com/photos/anttisuniala/sets/72157600710681300/

Jon this is a great picture of her again...

Do we agree upon Andreas suggestion? We only would need a designer.

Anyone?

By the way: we will dedicate tonight's session of Bushfire in Munich to her.

hey guys hey antti!
thanks for your pics...they so lovely and like yesterday paris,ejc....
i just read her last pm of her to me with all her plans and of that meeting in berlin we had...
she called herself "the daddy bear"....whats a world without them ..empty..
last they-s i was just shocked and paralysed today tears come over me i waek up with her in my mind..
unbelievable..again and again.

josh

btw: i have loads of pics of maddi, but dont have a flickr or youtube account....where to put them...on my gallery on hop!?!
(....i am working on a photocollage with pics of maddi....)

@josh: hey sweetie......somehow we have kindof same thoughts at the moment......hot chocolate and best tortilla ever....martini-girls as well.....and i found a message of maddi on my answer machine (anrufbeantworter).....i am still shocked and cry most of the time....during work...in bed.....during most of my actions....she is constantly in my thoughts....sometimes more...sometimes less, but there.....esp. all the gomera action memories....colacao....polveron.....our roof chats with martini and ping pong...our trip to paris in 2006, ireland, when she came to my place before and after thailand......this text on my ab-machine......etc.......

maddi: i and miss you guapa

tina

Ask Mech about putting together a website, he has a ready to go system, all he would have to do is a little design work... some thing with a photo gallery etc, easily manageable online administration and so on.

I'd gladly offer my services, but I have no available free time right now, I'm working 11+ hour days right now.
