My second home




I don't think I can really describe why I spend so much time from my summer holiday at my grandparents' house. It's freedom to me. Fresh food and veggies right from the back garden, playing with my dogs, helping grandma and grandpa around the house, meeting with old friends, and being able to stay outside all day in the shade is just great. I grew up there, although my parents were living in Iasi, so I feel perfectly comfortable there. Oh, and I have room for one of my dearest hobbies: flying kites. I buy them at the market and then I head towards the field in back of the garden on a windy day. It's one on the many things that relaxes me and I enjoy the beauty of making it fly. I also enjoy the freedom of cooking whenever I want. At home, mom's worried that I'm going to make a mess but there nobody has any objection when I start preparing my ingredients. I don't have a lot of friends there, but I enjoy spending time with the ones that I do. The best part is that we go way back and we are like family most of the times.
But too much of something is not healthy so I am back home, for now.

Movies, again

This month I have been living with my grandparents in the countryside. I took my laptop and some movies with me. Here are some of my favorites:

Across the Universe
I liked it because it's a beautiful movie. It has gorgeous images and great sets. The acting was okay. It's a musical and I'm not a fan but this is based only on Beatles songs so I made an exception. If you love the Beatles' music, as I do, you'll find some your favorite songs incorporated really nicely in the movie's plot.



Tristan and Isolde
Ancient love story, classic, beautiful. You could feel the electric chemistry between the two leads. I simply loved it. And, of course, I cried. Legendary story.



Somewhere in time
A movie from 1985, it's another love story. One of my mom fav movies, I loved it too. It's impressive and the actors are amazing. Also the costumes and the sets.




Anger Management
I love the both of them and the plot is just hilarious. The jokes are great , the lines too. Jack is, of course, brilliant and Adam is just the same old Sandler we know. Great Movie.
