Grow up?

2010-10-26T23:55:00.002+03:00

I admit never fully accepting my age. Either sorry for my past years, either too eager for the future, thinking of my life on the long run gives me headaches. It feels like a pill too big to swallow.

With age, habits come, habits pass, and so do hobbies, passions, likes or dislikes. How many of you do you even remember? Where did the teddy you carried around for years or the posters of the first teen idols you adored are right now?

What lies on your shelves now, where toys and storybooks used to?

Change is an essential part of life, even if we do it with or without wanting it. We are forced to grow up, leave kindergarten, elementary school, high school, college behind and move on. Caught in this process, you may wonder who you are or where are you going. It must be natural to ask ourselves such things since most do.

As a young woman, I find myself crossroads often. I can’t help but question myself if today’s interests will survive to see the future. The question is: Is it just a phase?

However, a part of me has faith that what truly is important for one’s true self can last forever, since my father still has his burning passion for music and wears Beatles t shirts since he was 20.

I guess all I can do is hold on and enjoy the ride.

All the love

I thought I will eventually find something to write about here, but for the past month, the never ending whirlpool we call life caught me and I completely forgot about this.

However, since my very good friend started writing after one whole year, I couldn't just say nothing.

Monica, Welcome back, BaBy!

"Free your secrets and become who you are." Frank Warren

2010-09-19T18:43:00.009+03:00

One of the most fascinating concepts I have ever seen in the last months is, by far, Post Secret. It was introduced to me by a dear friend and I never payed attention to it....that is, until now. I have recently entered, for the first time www.postsecret.com (you can also go to PostSecretRo, the Romanian version), the website of this fantastic project. Founded by Frank Warren, the website publishes thousands of secrets sent by postcards by its readers. Some

are funny, some feel just so damn right, but some shake you to the core. It is exactly its ability to move something inside each and every one of us that makes me love it so much, as well as how personal the cards look like. We all have secrets and sharing them can

relieve us by a burden as heavy as our whole heart.

Ultimately, in my opinion, what Frank Warren does, by collecting and publishing all these postcards, is art. This is its purpose, to make people feel something real. And that is exactly what he offers us.

Here are some of the postcards and a little experiment:

Flicks to check out

2010-09-13T22:17:00.003+03:00

1. The Romantics

A light movie about four friends who are reunited during a wedding and a love story is resurrected. It seems the kind of movie which will brighten any cloudy autumn day. It seems to be somewhere along the lines of "My best friend's wedding".

2. Black Swan

A psychological thriller who has one of the best and catchiest trailer I've seen in some time. Also, I am very curious about how Natalie Portman carries the part out.

3. Love and other drugs

The guy who invented Viagra fells in love.

Have I ever told you how much I like Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal? I can't wait to see them together.

4. Heartbeaker

French movie, with Vanessa Paradis, might be magnifique! To be honest, I like French movies about love, in general.

5. Going the distance

A quirky movie about long distance relationships...with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, who are simply a match made in romantic comedies' heaven.

6. Easy A

Definitely a teen movie about high school, which I am going to enjoy just because I still am a teenager in high school.

Not being a fan of hip hop in general, I had no idea who B.O.B was.

However, his debut album,"B.O.B presents: The Adventure of Bobby Ray" is one of the best recent ones out there.

From the very familiar and commercially successful "Nothin' on you" featuring Bruno Mars and the already popular "Airplanes" featuring Paramore's lead singer Hayley Williams to the less-known "Pass my shades", "Don't let me fall" and "Ghost in the machine", B.O.B designs an album unexpected in its quality, musicality and accessibility, which is one of my personal favorites.

This guy has this personal style which makes him so hard to put him in any musical category. Maybe alternative Hip Hop.

Here are the two songs I've been listening all summer (trust me, it sounds fantastic):

Les bon temps

2010-09-10T22:03:00.005+03:00

I have spent this summer's holiday at my grandparents', in the mountains and in Greece, on the Thassos Island and in Athens.

To my surprise, the island was a fantastic place, with great people, good food and fantastic wine. Every single place was great and I really spoiled myself while I was there. Stumbling upon this fantastic restaurant, I had by far the best food in a very long time, including the best chocolate soufflé and the best sea food in my entire life.

Athens was horribly disappointing and I am really not in the mood for going into details.

However, the reason why I went to Greece in the first place was the U2 concert. Oh yes, I had the chance to see Bono&Co live and I did. Needless to say that it was fantastic.

Fan-freakin-tastic.

I'm back.

2010-09-10T16:58:00.002+03:00

Hello, my darlings!

I am terribly sorry for missing so long from the blogger world.

I had a wonderful holiday, but now, fortunately (or unfortunately), I am back with all engines running. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments.

All the love!

2nd drop!

2010-05-08T12:21:00.002+03:00

So this week another miniepisode of True Blood resurfaced and it's good, but I liked the first one better. Still, I hate waiting! 13th of June is still far away and I'm dying here!
enjoy!

"Why Don't You Love Me" - Beyoncé from Beyoncé on Vimeo.

I stumbled on the newest video of Beyonce, and I quite like it, because it's very pin-up, 50's retro-ish sexy and she looks better than ever, even when her makep is running down her face while talking on the phone. I always admired her for her voice, for her dance abilities, and for how much of an entertainer she is. She really is a music icon and, also, a raw modle for every woman out there.

I always loved football!

2010-05-04T20:22:00.002+03:00

And, apparently, so does Annie Lebowitz, who shot these pictures for this month's issue of Vanity Fair.
Oh, what a wonderful sport! Can't wait for the world cup:D:D
Does anyone has these in high-res? :D:D

(Why can't I stop grinning??)

Pass me the heels!

2010-04-30T15:26:00.006+03:00

One of the things I have always hated is the fact that we almost never dress up now, when we go out, when we go see a movie,etc. I know that everyone has days when they just get on the first thing they see in their closet because it happens to me too and there's nothing wrong with it. My point is that, now, we almost never put on but jeans and a tshirt no matter the ocasion. I love dressing up, and I do it just about every time I feel like it.

But still, there is someone ruining your mood, staring at you. I absolutely detest it when people stare at you just because you look different. It rarely happens in western countries, but here, trust me, they're watching as if you're a freakshow.

I love the feeling I get when I'm dolled-up and looking my best while out (even if I don't have fantastic clothes and I almost never wear heels because I'm so tall and everyone's staring). Another thing I believe in is being true to who you are and revealing your true nature also on the outside. I must admit, I sometimes don't really have the courage (or the clothes) to be myself.

I think that looking good, taking care of yourself as a woman and not neglecting your appearance is something you do for yourself, as an evolved human being, if, of course, you have some self-respect.

First drop, yet

Since so many people are eagerly awaiting for season 3 of True Blood, mini episodes are being released in order to keep the suspense strong.
Today, the first mini-episode has surfaced.
Enjoy!
(I love it, but come ooon, just 3 mins????)

Aren't there 3 other movies with this title?

2010-04-25T20:06:00.004+03:00

On Friday, Me & my dear friend Monica, decided to see a cute little movie to relax, so we went to see "When in Rome". Well, actually, we chose it because we had no other option because of our shedules, but that's not that important.
Well, the movie is...fun. And, um.... funny. Okay, okay, it's not that good. Really. It's one of those romenic comedies set in a really famous city. It has some nice parts, but most of them are already clichees and you can basically predict everything that is going to happen from the very beginning. Kristen Bell was...stiff, I didn;t like her at all, but Josh Duhamel was sweet (I mean hot).
Well, you can go with your girlfriends and watch it, but don't expect anything major or impressive because you ain't getting any. Still, it's light, funny and pretty much okay.

Waiting sucks!

2010-04-16T19:24:00.006+03:00

Well, it seems that I'm getting a lot into american TV shows theese days and the most recent one I've discovered (yeah, I know, I'm so late on this one) is True Blood. I began reading the books without having any clue that the show was inspired from them and, because I really enjoyed the plot and everything, I started watching the show. I've already seen the two seasons and I'm eagerly waiting for the third one, which premieres in June (!!!!!!!).

Here are is a sneak-peek from the upcoming season:

Paris, mon amour

2010-04-11T22:03:00.005+03:00

I just came home from a four-day trip to Paris and I still feel like I'm on top of a cloud. I didn;t knew what to expect, since some people have told me that it's dirty and highly overrated.

Now, I have to say it is the most beautiful city I've ever been to (yes, I like it more than Rome and Vienna). It was absolutely fantastic and extremely fulfilling even if I spent just three (very busy and tiring) days there.

It's so rich in culture and the feel of the city just got me in so deep I didn't wanted to leave.
Of course, I visited all the major museums like the Louvre, Musee dÓrsay, LÓrangerie, and, of course, Les Invalides, Le Jardins Tuileries, The Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, etc.

God, it was fun and I really miss the city right now, the pulse of it.

That's why these days I've been absent-minded just about all the time, just day-dreaming. But hey, who whouldn't?

Got secrets?

2010-03-18T22:31:00.004+02:00

This song is absolutely delightful, especially because of that strong cello in the background. I must say this is one of the most beautiful One Republic songs and the best single of theirs in a long time. It's not cheesy; it's just ... light and liberating.

We all have our secrets, our guilty pleasures, and some of them we might never share with someone. Keeping things inside means that you have control over them. The down side is that they might get too many.

Alice in Wonderland-Movie review

On Sunday, I went with my dad to see "Alice in wonderland" and I have to say it was very good. I really enjoyed it, the acting was phenomenal and it looked amazing, but still, there was something missing.

If you are familiar with the books, you'd immediately realise that this is not "Alice in Wonderland", but "Through the Looking-Glass", which is the sequel, sort-of. Alice is 20 and everyone expects of her to get married, so she runs from the place where an awful chap was publicly proposing to her, following the rabbit in the waistcoat.

The best part, I must say, were the characters. Fantastic protrayals by the actors. Johnny Depp was...the Mad Hatter, I mean, he was so good I couldn't even tell it was him. Helena Bonham Carter, who plays the Queen of hearts, is, as always, brilliant. I always enjoy watching her embody her characters because she does it so vividly. Another character I loved was the Cheshire Cat, who I could watch floating around for hours. Anne Hathaway as the White Queen was...okay, I mean, it wasn't as outstanding as the others, but it was a good performance nonetheless.

The artistic part of the movie and its 3D effects are, of course, perfect. It looks very believable, enchated, exactly as it should be.

However, as I mentioned before, something was missing. Maybe I didn't really get into the story and cared about it as much as I was expecting, The Mad Hatter being the only character I was feeling sorry for. Maybe it was just me.

The message of the movie was quite obvious for me, at least, and it stuck with me for a long te after I saw it (even now). It's all about being yourself, being brave and taking your life in your own hands.

In the end, I loved it! It's really worth going and seeing it because it's a wonderful experience that you mustn't miss.

"You can thank me later. It's later. "

2010-03-11T23:18:00.008+02:00

I watched this movie some time ago and I sticked with me. It's all about the hardships of life and it is quite impressing. The story is touching. I must say that the main character Michael, played by Quinton Aaron, has quite an unique personality and so much dignity that it seemed sort-of imposibile to me that such a person would actually exist. I admit being really moved by his actions, especially in the beggining of the movie (you'll see what I'm talking about).

Of course, Sanda Bullock is amazing. And why is that, you may ask?

After 10 minutes, I completely forgot she was her because of how well she got into the character. Her southern acent was flawless and everything about her, from her gestures to her mimic, screamed authenticity. And that is why I think she deserved getting the Oscar this year.

Thumbs up!

Someone help!

I really can't understand what on earth is going on with this weather. It's snowing! I can't take the cold anymore and I'm as sick as one could be for days now. Can't we just get some sun? And warmth? I'd be thankful for anything but snow right now. I'm desperate.

Come on with that spring!!!!!

Mean girls - Disney version

2010-03-10T17:57:00.004+02:00

This is so cool. I watched Mean Girls a long time ago and it basically depicts everything about your regular highschool kids. It's a fun movie but this video is too good to miss:

Oh, yes, ladies a very great someone has made a mean girls trailer using footage from some classic disney movies. It's hillarious and I absolutely love it. Enjoy!
The original Mean girls trailer is the 2nd one, while the mock-up is the 1st from the top.

I really don't get it

2010-03-05T19:45:00.002+02:00

A couple of weeks ago I heard of this kid, Justin Bieber, who is makin (not only) America's knees melt. Apparently, he's a huge thing right now, so I decided to listen to one his songs just out of curiosity. Apparently, this is his latest single "Baby", featuring Ludacris.

The verdict?

No surprise here, I really could not get it why does he there is so much hype around him. To be frank, because he's so small, because of his horrible haircut and kinda'annoying voice, I wasn't impressed at all. He's got the cheesiest dance moves, lyrics, videos and facial expressions. Okay, he is sort-of cute, but only a potential pedofile over 15 could consider him hot. Really.
the Question is: Whyyy?

Adoring Florence

2010-03-01T13:32:00.007+02:00

The past days I've been out of town and, as always, I had my iPod with me everywhere I went. I am really enjoying the "Florence and the Machine" album and now her songs are definitely dominating my "most played" list. Her music reminds me of Alice in Wonderland because it's eccentric, fantastic-ish and very rich in details. I must say her voice sounds more than great and has very specific sound that I can't really identify with anything else I can think of.

The entire "Lungs" album is a delicious and savory musical experience worth giving a try. I really like "Cosmic love" and "I'm not calling you a liar", but the top-charting singles "Dog days are over" and "You got the love" are adorable as well.

The Brits 2010

2010-02-20T22:28:00.004+02:00

The British music awards are something to see, even if you might not recognize all the performers. However, there were some great moments. Yes, everyone knows that Lady Gaga has won three awards, which is a lot, but there was no surprise here. Still, I wasn't expecting to see her so humble. She was actually crying for two or three times while having her speeches. I was pretty much in awe to see her so honestly humble and thankful.

The performances were amazing. From Jay-z with the talented Alicia Keys, who shook the ground with her vocals, to Cheryl Cole with her great dancers. But I couldnt "feel" Lilly Allen at the start of the show. It seemed strange with that wig...maybe it's just me. However, there were two performances I enjoyed the most.

First, Florence and the Machine with Dizzie Rascal (I have no idea who he is) sang "You've got the love", a great piece which sounded even better with those harps . Florence really sounds excellent live and I loved her look.

My favourite was, by far, Robbie Williams, who sang a 13 minutes-long medley of his most famous songs. I adore Robbie because he is such a great entertainer and pulled all the songs off beautifully even if he was so emotional. He got an award for his entire career, and he deserved it! Rock it, Robbie!

2010-02-13T22:11:00.006+02:00

Here, we are folks, once again, Valentine's Day's here. I must admit I have never celebrated it so far because no matter what is going on in my life, I'm always single on the 14th of February. This year, there's no exception to this rule so I didn't plan anything. I'm really not looking forward to the pink-red-fluffy-heart-shaped decorations that will probably be hanging everywhere.

However, it is about love (or it used to be, before they plastic-coated it and shipped it around the world with a bow on top) and love is not only romance.
There are so many types of love we should share and love is what can be used to rebuild our world.

This year, my heart goes out to Haiti, a broken country which needs help more than ever. So, as Jaimie Fox tells us in the beggining of the video below, "no matter how big or small, it all matters".

Those taking part in the song and video include: Akon, Bono, India.Arie, Patti Austin, Tony Bennett, Justin Bieber, Bizzy Bone, Ethan Bortnick, Brandy, Jeff Bridges, Toni Braxton, Zac Brown, Kristian Bush, Busta Rhymes, Natalie Cole, Harry Connick Jr., Kid Cudi, Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, Snoop Dogg, Drake, Earth Wind & Fire, Faith Evans, Fergie, Melanie Fiona, Jamie Foxx, Sean Garrett, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Groban, Anthony Hamilton, Keri Hilson, Julianne Hough, Jennifer Hudson, Enrique Iglesias, LL Cool J, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Randy Jackson, Taj Jackson, Taryll Jackson, TJ Jackson, Al Jardine, Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas, Nick Jonas, Rashida Jones, Gladys Knight, Adam Levine, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Benji Madden, Joel Madden, Mary Mary, Katharine McPhee, Jason Mraz, Mýa, Jennifer Nettles, Orianthi, Freda Payne, P!nk, A.

Yesterday, the famous fashion designer Alexander McQueen died. It was a suicide, most likely influenced by his mother's death months ago and his best friend's suicide only weeks ago. I always admired his designs because they were si original, tasteful and artistic. He was and still is one of the brightest stars on the fashion's sky.

May he rest in peace.

Define "Beauty"

2010-02-04T23:56:00.002+02:00

How many of us can actually define beauty or can admit that someone is truly beautiful?
Is beauty supposed to be sexy?
Is is an inner glow?
Is it just an image?

What is beautiful for you?

I know I'm one of the last people on this planet to see Avatar, but I'm still going to write something about it. I was honestly not expecting the movie to be this good. It was fantastic! amazing! Filled with action, but also with tearful moments. And, my God, I cried. I was expecting something very military and not so detailed. I must say that the movie has an almost perfect story and the characters were great. It was strange that, even if the characters were not..real or human, I still felt for them. I'm also talking about the forest, which I was very fond of and I didn;t wanted anything to happen to it. Some things , of course, were not so perfect, but still, the movie felt so...fresh. And the 3D , the images , the colours were mind-blowing! Definitely, a movie to see!
One of the best movies I've ever seen!

This really is the perfect song to listen on a cloudy morning. I found it by accident and completely fell in love with it and the guy's voice.

There's nothing more sweet than this live session, really.

Now I'm here!

2010-01-26T20:59:00.007+02:00

Well, I've been so busy lately I didn't get the time to write anything, so unfortunately I neglected my blog. But now, I'm back with some news. I've been doing quite some stuff.

1. Got my Cambridge CAE(CERTIFICATE IN ADVANCED ENGLISH) results today!

After so much waiting and studying, everything finally paid off and I got an A, which cannot be any better. I'm very happy with myself because English is my thing and I love it!

2. Celebrated my birthday

Festive times are to be shared with family and friends. I shared it with both and it was more than I can ever ask!

3. Had a school play....

.during my English class. I wrote the script and everything went more than great. I was the smooth criminal and had so much fun.
What can I say? People love killing me and I love playing with (toy) guns.

4.Embarked on a journey..
..to get my driver's licence. I've got a lot to study.

5. Finished another semester.
School will be over for a week soon and I need a break so bad... Thank GOD I managed to get all the right grades I needed.

Eighteen

2010-01-13T13:25:00.002+02:00

A big day has finally arrived. I love my birthday, but who doesn't?
Now I'm an adult and I have all the papers to prove it.

Seventeen has been quite a year and I've grown so much, just like I was supposed to.

For the future, I'm eager to see how I will cross my own boundaries. Of course, I want to learn as much as I can about things I adore and work on my art more.

I wish to thank everyone (my friends, my family), for making this day special, for supporting me and for sending their wishes.

All the love!

A new her

2010-01-10T22:42:00.006+02:00

To be honest, I never expected to write about this. We all know that Rihanna has released her last album in 2009 and it's called "Rated R". It didn't get very good reviews because everyone was expected to see her back the way she used to be, oh so sweet pop you can dance on at a pretty little party.

However, she is changed and she has an entire new perspective over life. It is just natural that her work would also change.

After the first audition, when you're like "oh, God, she's gone suicidal, she's nuts", the songs grow on you and some are really good. I really like the concept of the dark Russian Roulette and Hard but also the emotional pieces such as Te Amo and Stupid in Love. In fact, all of the songs are highly relevant when it comes to her own life experience.

The album is intense, and I like the fact that it's something else, it's loaded with emotion and feeling. So long pretty-pop.

The videos are darker, also. She's definitely wearing less and is so much more daring and bold. The best part is that she can pull this off. She has the right attitude and body to wear those revealing outfits (imagine how fast you'd run if you'd see Lindsay Lohan in those clothes) and it works for her. Again, it's something else.

By far, the best improvement of all is her live performances. I've heard her live before and she sucked big time. Now, it's almost like she has this...force inside her and she is singing with so much heart and soooooo much better.

Just listen to this amazing performance of Russian Roulette.
(It gets better and better from 1:50.)

And even if sometimes it is too much, isn't it how it's supposed to be?

After the holidays...

2010-01-04T18:06:00.002+02:00

....I must say that I felt quite tired, really. Of course I am sad that it's all over but I still have something to look forward to in the near future: My birthday. Oh, yes, I'm turning 18 and it feels quite surreal that time has passed so fast. It seems like it was yesterday when I first entered my highschool, I was so young...Well, I believe that you can be young at any age and the prospect of getting old it's not very frightening (at the moment). However, this is an important step in one's life, being a legal adult. I was intending (my mom was, actually) to throw a big party but I let the concept go because I wantsomething more...private and also because I'm visiting Paris in the spring so some extra cash are more than welcomed.

As a new year resolution , I hope I'll learn more about things I love, that I'll spend more time on my art and that I'll soon figure out a way of painting in my room without making any mess.

So a Happy New Year to all of you kind enough to be reading this and see you more often in 2010!

The crazy shopping....

2009-12-17T00:01:00.002+02:00

"Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space."

7,8,Nine

2009-12-15T19:47:00.008+02:00

By the director who also did "Chicago", "Nine" seems to be quite a movie, especially because of the cast that includes Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Sophia Lauren , and many other stars who will be dancing and singng in glamorous costumes(or underwear). In theaters on December 25th. Will you be seeing it?

Don't you just love Christmas?

2009-12-11T23:00:00.003+02:00

It's my favorite time of the year and it;s getting closer. Here's why I love it:

Family:

I spent Christmas with my grandparents in the south of the country ever since I was born and it's sweet. Literally. We all love sweets and good food, in general. Everyone cooks, everyone drinks warm wine and everyone sings carols cheerfully. It wouldn't be Christmas without my loving family. It's all about everyone! Try helping them out.

The Lights:

From the city lights to my own, personal twinkles in my room, it's all about decorations and when to be festive if not during the winter holidays? I hang garlands in my room and in my grandparents house. Oh, and I decorate the outside of the house with lights too. Don't they make you feel...warm?

The Smell:

yes, mainly from the amazing dishes prepared but also from the Christmas tree. It's my favorite thing to lay down under the tree with my head under the dangling globes. You should try the perspective.

The Presents:

I enjoy getting them, but giving is so much fun. Seeing the loved one's expression on their face when they open their presents is priceless.

On a Tuesday morning

2009-12-08T11:35:00.004+02:00

Fortunately, no school today, owing to the fact that I have my CAE exam tomorrow. I was so into English these months that I sometimes I can't find my words in Romanian.

It's cloudy outside, I'm having a cup of tea and listening to some smooth songs. This one's very cool:

Love and Happiness by Al Green.

Trying to concentrate on some vocabulary stuff.
Warm and cozy.
I'm thinking of warm hands.
What are you think of?

How sweet it is....

Kim Kardashian, an American reality star best-known for....um...I have no idea, is very good-looking. Too bad she is like that only with her make-up on. Very natural beauty indeed.

Oh, and did you used to envy Eva Longoria's looks? Well, now you have a reason not to.

Proiectie "One World"

2009-11-30T19:18:00.002+02:00

Miercuri, 2 decembrie 2009, de la orele 13.00, va avea loc proiecția filmului Transit în Amfiteatrul Colegiului Național “Costache Negruzzi” din Iași. Invitată la dezbatere este Daniela Caltea, specialist în lucrul cu persoane bolnave de HIV/SIDA.

“Transit este o productie MTV International, realizata in cadrul initiativei Staying Alive, beneficiind de participarea UNFPA. Filmul integreaza istorii particulare din tari si continente diferite. Personajele filmului sunt oameni diferiti, fac parte din diferite categorii sociale, provin din familii si societati diferite, dar in fata expunerii la infectia HIV/SIDA, sansele lor devin egale.”

Cu ajutorul UNFPA, filmul este disponibil tuturor cluburilor de film One World România.

Va asteptam cu drag!

Last night I went to see New Moon because I read the books, I am a big fan of the two male leads (guilty!) and I was morbidly curious. So if you haven't read the books, you might have a different view of the matter.

I have to say that it's so much better than Twilight. The first movie was more "indie" and this one is a lot better. Of course it's not perfect, but there are major improvements.
The special effects are way better, the shots are great, and the script is a much better mirror of the book than the first one(even if, some things are...different. )

Best :
The music. Awesome. The soundtrack is amazing and it fits the story so well, that I wish I had it on my Ipod when I was reading the book. Trust me.
(here's a taste:)

Taylor Lautner as Jacob- just perfect.

Not so great:
There is no on-screen chemistry between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson .When you see the movies, you're like "There's no way they're so in love that they'd die for the one another". It sort-of seems as if he might be loving her, but she is so...stiff.

Some scenes needed music and there was none.

Some actors did not really...improve their acting.

Chick flicks in 2010

2009-11-22T14:45:00.002+02:00

As far as I can tell, 2010 is going to be full of chick-flicks. Oh yes. Cheesy, tear-jerking, silly movies with beautiful actors who match perfectly in couples to die for and cry over. Fantasies about people changing, about doing the right thing, about two people being miles and miles apart. I generally enjoy them.
Here are our next-year movies to see:

1. Dear John..
..is based on the book written by the same guy who wrote "The Notebook" and it has just about the same structure and level of drama.

(thnx Leah)

2.Valentine's Day
What could this be about if not...Valentine's day? I want to see it because of the amazing cast, and because it seems to be..fun.

3.Remember me

Robert Pattinson for Vanity Fair

2009-11-17T18:30:00.005+02:00

I adore this pictorial. I've been told I'm all about "mysterious, pained artists". Oh, I love this.

I really do believe the rainbow

2009-11-16T18:23:00.003+02:00

Now I'm on a diet but there is one ting I can't refuse: Skittles!
Oh, I adore them, ever since a friend brought me a huge bag from the US six years ago. When I found out this summer that I could get them from here too, I was more than happy( I ate 4 boxes in 15 minutes).
I like the red and the purple ones most. Which one is your fav one?

"Just because she's likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn't mean she's your soul mate. "

2009-11-15T10:57:00.004+02:00

"5oo days of summer" is a pretty good movie. It's very light, fun and sweet. It's not a love story, even if it seems to be so. It's the classical thing of "boy meets girl, girl meets boy, boy falls in love, girl doesn't". But still, it's not very dramatic, neither dark, angry, depressing or anything like that. It's very simple and enjoyable. A bit like "Nick and Norah's infinite playlist". I loved the music and the way it was shot. Also, the director of photography was great because some shots are amazing.
I really enjoyed it. It's a movie to watch on a Sunday morning.

And it is true that some things cannot be explained. They just happen to you.

I am a big Christmas fan. Really. It's my favorite time of the year decorating the tree, drinking wine next to the fire in grandma's house, seeing the expression on the people's faces when they open their presents, the carols, the smell. Oh, I can't wait for it to come.
So even if there is more than a month until Christmas, I went last night to see "A Christmas Carol" in 3D with my best friend. Lets just say we came out singing carols.
The movie is good, maybe not great, but t definitely puts you in the mood. Maybe if it was not in 3D I wouldn't have liked it so much but the pictures and the effects are really great.

Should I start thinking about presents...?

Three Fall Favorites

2009-11-15T08:32:00.004+02:00

When it comes to clothes and to fashion, in general, I'm not all about trends. I wear what I like and when I do so, I feel a more confident and comfortable. These are three items I like and wear this fall (all the way up into winter). Photos courtesy of forever21.

1. Thigh high boots
(or over the knee) I always loved really long boots and how my legs look in them. Thankfully, my mother likes them too, so I have two pairs-one black, one gray. They're completely flat, no heels because I wanted to wear them almost every day.

2. Pendants
Long pendant necklaces are simple and very beautiful. Depending on the pendant itself, you can add your own personal "flavor" to every day.

3.Caps, hats and everything in between

It's cold outside and your head needs some protection. I have a similar cap with this one in the picture and I adore it.

Domnul Dinica

2009-11-10T19:17:00.004+02:00

Nu, nu va fi uitat. Da, l-am vazut...Da, era genial. Da, s-a dus...dar nu de tot. Gheorghe Dinica.

Is she a monster?

2009-11-04T16:47:00.003+02:00

A book that does not take you easy, that tells you everything about Hell's lifestyle. All of her thoughts, her feelings, her actions are written down raw, almost un-edited, using a lot of vulgar words to describe vulgar circumstances. Still, the author does not fear to offend or to be too explicit. It's so raw and cruel that it's sweet and I enjoyed it a lot. If you can see past everything, it will alter a piece of you or at least it will make you remember it. I loved it.

Midnight songs...

2009-11-03T20:31:00.004+02:00

...for the times when you can't sleep. Smooth songs for late hours, to keep you company.

1."Falling slowly",
from the movie "Once", performed by Kris Allen. There is an original version, but I like this one a lot more.

2. "With or without you", by U2.

3."La vie en rose", by Edith Piaf.

4."Time after time"
By Eva Cassidy, again, not the original but still...

Beauty

2009-11-03T18:00:00.003+02:00

With or without the magic of Photoshop, we cannot say that Monica Bellucci is not stunning. I found these incredible pictures which perfectly illustrate how much of a woman she is.

On a cloudy day

2009-11-01T20:44:00.004+02:00

This is not about love because it's cruel, this is not about instincts because they're primal. It's about two people. Call them "us".

Norah Jones- Come away with me

You, stranger, what if...we'd runaway?
Just for a day or so and hide from all of world's lies. Just us.
The mountain top's just beyond the third street. Lets walk in the rain. No, lets smile. Lets laugh as we never did in our life because we need nothing more.
I'll breathe you in as you are, no dyes, no lies, just truth for you, truth for me. It's a kids game, a joke as old as time.
I can't promise eternity, all I have is now. Don't tell me nothing, I don't want to hear a word about me. All I want is to "wake up with the rain falling of a tin roof while I'm safe there, in your arms."
Talk to me with your eyes and I'll need no translation.
I'm thirsty. Lets swim.

Letter to an Ignorant

2009-11-01T20:26:00.003+02:00

My dear Ignorant,

I get it, you do not care, that's in your definition after all. I'm just asking you to move your weight off me. You're crushing me. You're on my seat, even if I have a ticket and you don't. But, you don't care, right? You never do. I get it, you have your life, your needs, your mind but so do I. Oh, yes, what a surprise! I can think and I can feel too. I know that you do it alone but that does not mean that your actions don't actually have some consequences that many times are reflected on others. Do you see many tall trees around you? I'm asking because you act as if you're living by yourself in the Amazonian jungle. Oh, yes, there are people around you and they can see you. When you're walking over the crowd to get in front of the cue, your shoes are leaving bruises on the others whether you like it or not. Oh, but you don't care, I remember. You don't care that, when you're watching a play, you're talking on the phone, everyone can hear you including the actress having a monologue.

Remember this: if nobody cared, there would not be a show to watch in the first place.
So if you want to be a part of life, start caring.

Yours truly,
The spectator behind you.

Yes, he's still doing it!

2009-10-28T19:54:00.004+02:00

Maybe you don't or maybe you do know that I am a Robbie Williams fan. I've been one ever since I saw "Feel" on MTV years ago. I have a DVD of his concert and it's absolutely amazing. I love his bold lyrics, his music that is so...British in many ways, his incredible shows full of energy, enthusiasm and really really good performances by all the musicians on stage, especially him. Who does not know "Angels" or the almighty "Feel"?Yes, he has ballads that melodically get to your core but in the same time he's got great "rebel-ish" songs that speak about our society, today's stupidities, etc.

His first single for the new album, "Bodies", is a lot like "Come undone" or "Millennium" when it comes to lyrics and topic. The whole "All we ever wanted is to look good naked" thing is very true when it comes to today's life. Everything has lost its soul. It's all about flesh now. The "Bodies" video is now on music channels and topping charts all over the globe.

The second single to be released is "You know me". It's a Robbie classic. Not brilliant(the other one isn't either), but it's his style and I like it a lot.
Can't wait for the album!

Enjoy!

When you're sick:

2009-10-28T11:57:00.006+02:00

Don't go to school/university/work(if you can);
Don't forget to take your pills;
Drink lots and lots of tea;
Get some rest;
Stay warm;
Do absolutely anything but homework/work in general;
Learn how to make paper cranes (origami made my temperature drop);
Make as many paper cranes as you can and then spread them around the house;
Watch how mom gets angry that you've made her house feel like Scofield's apartment(yes, the Prison Break guy);
Warm up some more tea;
Observe the wonderful cracks on the ceiling;
Superficially organize your things;
Watch how mom gets angry that you have only superficially cleaned your closet;
Don't forget to take your pills!
Play the piano/guitar/whatever instrument you have;
Don't try to sing or else your voice will get rougher and you'll have to drink more tea;
Think about how you'd like to change dramatically the space you live in;
Give up the redecorating idea because you remember you're not allowed to paint on the walls;
"Redecorate" your blog instead-hope you like the new look, because I'm not so sure I do;
Read other blogs;
Watch how mom gets angry because you forgot to take your pills;
Write something mildly funny on your blog about being sick and staying indoors.

Bloody amazing.

2009-10-23T20:47:00.003+03:00

Yes, a bit cheesy but so good.

I can't stop listening to it.

The lyrics are mostly simple but soulful.

Admitting I can't do some things by myself is difficult because I know that help might not be there all the time.

No sympathy for people who only know to shout out.

It's still called dignity, even if some maybe have forgotten about it.

I can't be somebody else.

2009-10-23T20:26:00.003+03:00

I can't be indifferent. I can't quit my conscience. Can't give up my ways either. I can't be materialistic. I don't want to be only a physical attraction because what's inside me is what I can share, what I can give, what is so much more important than the length of my legs.
Bodies don't appeal to my soul. People who feed on flesh only either.
I can't stop doing things the way I do. I can't think the way others do just to belong somewhere. I can't be like them. I refuse to make myself simpler in order to be easily read. I don't want to be considered something I'm not.

Take my thoughts for what they're worth.

Dealing with gravity.

2009-10-05T12:22:00.005+03:00

John Mayer-live-Gravity

...he melts my heart with his guitar.Don't miss it from 4:39 or 5:24.

Do you ponder for days upon decisions or do you listen your heart and let your instincts rule your life? We cannot be just black or white but we generally tend to belong to a certain category. Of course that it entirely depends on the context and on the dimension of our decision but how is your life? Is it purely standing on firm pillars you've built on years and years or is it running on wood bridges that sway from one side to another?

Unfortunately, I can't decide on what side I am. I admit, I am mostly cerebral, realistic, down-to-earth, always the responsible one with trust on my side. But once in a while I get my heart out and pin it on my sleeve. For me, it's not an easy thing to do, being vulnerable, but getting all my barriers down feels so much like freedom. The problems is that so far every time I acted instinctive, a bitter taste remained almost every single time after them. Now, I think that yes, it feels bitter in the end, but why miss it all? I'm not that encrypted anymore, I don't feel closed in so much. I've used to be afraid of strong feelings, now I'm not anymore. That's why we're human. To feel, to think. If I think too much, it does not compensate for the other. You have to walk on both sides to live your life. It's never wrong. Now I'm dealing with both my thoughts and my feelings. I'm done running away.

So jump because you don't have to stay grounded all the time. Have a flight.
Don't be afraid. Enjoy what faith brings you. It may feel like the best thing you're ever done.

Today...

2009-09-30T20:09:00.003+03:00

...we had the second "One World" Film Clubs event in Iasi, in my highschool and it was pretty okay. The movie was "Nepal: a narrow escape", a short film from the "Women on the front line" series, about human trafficking in Nepal especially. It followed the story of a victim of this enormous phenomenon, a woman fooled into leaving Nepal in search for a "better job" with an unknown man. She ended up in a brothel in Calcutta (or Kolkata) where she managed to escape. In a brave act she called the police and helped the authorities arrest the man who took her out of the country.

Human trafficking is happening not only in the eastern countries, but in Europe as well. Most people become victims after being persuaded to leave their own country by people or fake organizations who promise them a better future. Not only fake company names appear on such offers, but also fake universities or schools.

The easiest and best way to avoid an unfortunate experience is doing some research online on the destination and all the details about the amazing offer you got from a "new" institution, including the "employer" itself.

Well, thank you all for coming and we (the OWFC team) are looking forward to seeing you at our next event, probably next month!

Yesterday I arrived in Iasi with no excitement at all. I admit it, I did not want to come home the least bit. It was such an experience from so many points of view that I did not wanted it to end. But life's never fair so I'm back to the routine I left behind in June. The worst part is that nothing has changed and it is as if I'd never left. Well, the truth is that I am changed. Or at least I hope so. I really do not wish to fall back into my worried self anymore. Unfortunately, I am not the happy-shiny person I was in the mountains either. Reality checks you if you forget to check it yourself. The best thing is that I learned a lot and met the best people ever, people that I miss so much. I am currently trying to lighten up and be a bit more cheerful than a fish.

In the end of the training we all got a present: a song. This was mine:

Alanis Morissette -You Learn

"Every moment was so precious"

2009-09-06T23:31:00.003+03:00

This past months I've been away a lot so I never get to see the (not-so) new video from Coldplay. It's called "Strawberry Swing" and it's as sweet as it can be. Very nicely done, childish and pretty. It reminded me of how much I loved drawing on the pavement as a kid. Great!

Better quality HERE.

"And through it all"

2009-09-04T23:10:00.005+03:00

I am a Robbie fan. Really. Maybe he is a doped guy, but I do like his music and his shows-I have DVD of his concert and he rocks!He is such a show-man with a great stage-presence(at least he used to be) and I have been waiting a long time for his I can't wait for his new songs, especially some cheesy ballads :D. I hope so much that it will be one of his best works!

Excited about it! You?

Just buzzing by

2009-09-04T22:06:00.006+03:00

Today, I'm buzzing with excitement and energy. Why is that, you may ask? Well, I am glad to be back home and after spending my last two weeks in a very very boring small town in the mountains, this city, the people, the lights and the sounds of the city make me feel alive all over again. During the summer I get to be a "country girl", a "small-town girl" and a "mountain girl" but coming back to the city has never felt so good in a long time.

With a friend of mine, I went to see the new movie around: "The ugly truth". It's hilarious but it has a lot of sex-related talk so don't bring your parents with you in the cinema if you want to enjoy it. It's pretty fresh and cute, though predictable, as every romantic comedy.

I really liked it and it made me even "buzzy"er than before.
Go check it out!

Best book this summer

2009-09-03T11:51:00.002+03:00

I am a huge Lennon fan ever since I was a little girl and "Imagine" was my favorite song. It is a very meticulate biography that takes into consideration other books as well and presents a lot of details about Lennon as a student, as a father, as an artist.
If you ever get the chance or if you are a Beatles fan, read it.

Cu siguranta, vremea e buna, mancarea ok, vila unde stau superba, peisaje minunate, dar ma asteptam la ceva mai mult. Eu, copilul rasfatat si obraznic, sunt obisnuita cu ceva mai multa civilizatie-am fost in Croatia 3 ani si nu se compara ce este aicvi cu acolo. Oamenii sunt..cam ca romanii...adica nesimtiti cateodata, plajele nu sunt tocmai curate si nici organizate cum trebuie, apa nici ea nu chiar curata, lipsesc cosuri de gunoi etc.
Nu e ca in Romania, dar nici prea departe nu e. E ok, dar dezamagitor.

Enjoy your day!

John Mayer is momentarily the one dominating my daily dose of music. Well, what I really enjoy is his mellow voice, of course, and his great lyrics and musicality that make his songs truly enjoyable. But I guess that for me the thing that makes him stand out somehow is his guitarist skills. He is amazing and the guitar solos are imperative in almost any song and they enhance every single one of them with so much more emotion. Even if they sometimes do not have a well-defined identity, so to say, the solos embellish everything that can be made better.
I once saw him on CNN on "the Larry King show" when he said that the reason why he didn't use his voice to sing "Human Nature" on Michael Jackson's ceremony was because it was useless to try to imitate him and that, when it comes to guitars, everything is more natural, easy and non-limited for him. He said he sometimes feels bound by his vocals. I honestly believe that his voice is perfect for his songs and his style as a musician. He is a very very talented guy that, in my opinion, is pretty handsome(even better with longer hair)(nice tattoos too :d), a guy that does not let his looks define him . And in concert he is marvelous. I hope I'll get to see him someday.

Here is my top 5 John Mayer(for now):

5.I'm gonna find another you
4.Waiting on the world the change
3.Great Indoors
2.Gravity
1.Stop this train

P.S.- You get it, I am enthusiastic about him. I really really like his music(and something a bit more than that:P) . Even if the last picture is kinda' cold, you can see some of his tattoos.

Lily Allen is so cool. I absolutely love her. Really. She's not the ordinary skanky fashionista that sleeps with everyone. I don't care if she had pink hair or she used to wear wigs or...whatever. I think she has a very light, smooth voice. Plus, her songs are great and real. I'm tired of stuff like "in the club, I found a hunk and now we're rubbing against eachother". I love her lyrics and she knows to tell what she wants, even ifthat means singing cheerfully "fuck you very very much" on tv( I love that song).

So here is my top5 Lily Allen:(for now)

5.Fuck you
4.22
3.Littlest things
2.Chineese
1.Not fair

My second home

2009-08-01T11:48:00.003+03:00

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

2009-08-01T11:13:00.007+03:00

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.

"This is beyond anything I have imagined."

2009-07-31T00:08:00.003+03:00

I have only been in town for a day and I headed towards the cinema to see the 6th Harry Potter movie. So, how was it?

I have read all the books and, of course, some things have been left out. But it would be selfish of me to say that something is missing. The movie is very long and it focuses on the essential. Some complain that it was not enough but it was and it has a lot of explanations while keeping the fun and the dark part going.
I have to say that the best thing about it is the way it was shot: by using absolutely incredible images and filming techniques that blow your mind. In the very beginning you'll feel weightless and dizzy by the camera swirls. The only disappointment came with the most emotional scene (D's death). It felt weak and not impressing while the movie is full of grand images. Also, the end was a bit weak and not fully concentrated. I was expecting something more emotional and heart-breaking.

All-in-all, it was truly beautiful with plenty of action, and worth seeing. Can't wait for the next one!

My dog! I love him. Now, I am at my grandparents house and that is why I havent been around. Have a nice day and a better holiday!

Gone too soon

It’s pretty hard to get the fact that one of the biggest stars on this planet is dead. Everybody knows that he became a wreck in these last years but for most people that does not matter. After I saw a grown-up crying like a child in Paris, I felt moved myself for the first time. It doesn’t matter how you feel about it because he was the one who revolutionized music. All of the artists we see today topping the commercial charts were influenced by him, from Justin to Beyonce . Everyone knows about him, everyone knows at least one of his songs. With his killer beats and guitar riffs, he did a hell of a face lift to music. One of the first who have blended rock with pop, his contribution is immense. His fans all over the world are in shock because even if he was sick, nobody expected such a sudden end to his life, just before the final concerts. I was looking forward to see how he will cope with such an immense audience and if he could be the same we knew on stage when it came to Thriller, Bad, Dirty Diana, Black or White, and all the other great songs. He is music history now, a legend, someone who will be remembered for generations to come as The Superstar.
Yes, I watched the goodbye ceremony and I cried. I still cant understand that he is gone.

Although not many (at all) TV programs have materials about it, Farrah Fawcett’s death was another tragedy. Although I definitely was not around when Charlie’s Angels aired in the ‘70s, I watched it a couple of years ago. She was a sex-symbol and a fashion icon. IN her time, men drooled over her posters and women copied her hair-cut, her clothes, her wedding gown. She shined for many years playing female characters that have been, in one way or another, abused by men. Believe it or not, her artistic project with another sculptor was exposed in famous museums like the “Andy Warhol” museum in NY. Her passion for sculpture began in college and, even if many people never took her work seriously, she was great at it. World-wide, she had recently resurfaced as a cancer warrior and nobody expected her to fail.

"We're a wolf pack of four, wandering the desert, searching for strippers and cocaine."

Well, the movie is pretty funny and has some really cool lines. I simply could not stop by thinking how messed up they were when then did all those things while they were drunk. All the women were either whores or strippers, either messed up, and a single waiting bride. Nice. But the red-headed stripper was pretty cool:)). I honestly believe that guys will enjoy it more than girls, maybe because it is the dream-bachelor party until morning for every guy that gets married or knows someone getting married. It will become a classic movie for men all around the globe.
Anyway, it's pretty funny good movie worth seeing.

Don't forget to wait until the credits for some funny pics that explain everything that happened ;)

Sorry for the lack of coherence, I'm tired :P

Do you believe in music-soul-mates?

2009-06-14T01:07:00.007+03:00

I am not sure if I do, but I'd love one.

I am a little behind when it comes to movies in general but I'm trying to keep up. It's 1:15 in the morning and I've just seen "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" and I loooved it!
really!
It doesn't have a gigantic message but it does not have to have one. It's cute and fun and the actors are great. There are many cool shots, jokes, songs and lines.
If you can, SEE it! It will make you feel so more mildly okay about your existence, alone or not:))))))))

I loove the poster :D

Maybe you're not the most popular person in the world and not everybody knows who you are or likes you. These things should not matter that much to us. Some think they're dead without an active social life or a social status.
The ideea is that no matter how worthless, difficult, "hatred-filled" (and this a real quote;)), lonely person you are, there still are people out there who can be your friends or be with you because you are fun in your own way. If you feel alone in a 10-people crowd then go and find some other people, not 10, 1 is enough! So you really don;t have to be popular. You just have to be yourself.

INk me!

2009-06-12T22:29:00.002+03:00

I love good tattoos and I wanted one since I was 10. I have some ideas on my mind and I'm pretty sure I want it black and gray, maybe some red at some point ( I don't wish having only one :P). There are many things I love and cherish and some tributes to my family. I consider tattoos as being art, if being done great and if it looks good, obviously. And no matter how useless it may seem ( smth like tribals ) it doesn't matter if it means something to you.
Here are pretty nice designs:

"Fir-ati al dracului sa fiti!"

Anul 1. Examen. Facultatea de Economie si Administrarea Afacerilor(FEAA). Universitatea "Alexandru Ioan Cuza", Iasi, Romania.

Fara cerere, fara carnet ( cererile sunt necesare deoarece dupa 6 restante anul trebuie repetat, si materialele pentru examen trebuie pregatite), din 100 de studenti , 20 intra in sala.(imaginati-va sa mergeti la BAC fara buletin sau carnet de elev. Situatia e cam aceeasi.) Sala este pazita de trei profesori ( nu conferentiari, nu lectori, nu asistenti. Titlul de profesor se obtine dupa multi ani de munca si multe carti publicate.)
Revoltati cand li se zice ca, teoretic, nu pot intra in examen, se rastesc la profesori cu replici gen "EU va dau bani si nu ma lasati?!" si "Fir-ati al dracului sa fiti!" . In cele din urma, sunt lasati sa intre. Condusi in spatele salii, doi indivizi incep sa arunce amenintari , aproape sa sara la bataie la profesorul care ii conducea pe culoarul dintre banci. Cei doi sunt condusi intr-o sala separata sa il dea, paziti, bineinteles. Aveau fituici in buzunar. Au fost scoase.

Unul din cei care adreseaza insulte verbale are telefoul deschis pe masa si il butoneaza frecvent. O profesoara i-l verifica si confisca temporar, pana la terminare. Intre foi, mai are un scrisa. Aceeasi profesoara se duce si i-o ia. Replica: "Sunteti paranoica, doamna!". A fost condus la decan.

Acestia sunt ei care scriu pe forumuri ca FEAA este de mana a doua, ca profesorii nu sunt buni de nimic si ca treci copiind si fluierand. Interesul lor nu e sa invete, ci sa treaca. Profesorii sunt cei insultati si injositi in ciuda muncii lor.

Acesta este viitorul tarii noastre.
Nesimtire. Nepasare. Idiotenie.

Dancing with myself :D

2009-06-08T22:58:00.003+03:00

Ever since I was little, I loved to dance, a lot. I took some classes, but it didn't last long. Now, I am rediscovering the pleasure of Latin dances. Salsa, Samba, maybe some sort of rumba sometimes and even reggaeton are exotic and fun rhythms I love. They let me move with passion, with emotion, and don't constrain me at all. I enjoy myself at most when I let loose, when I let my hair down and move the way I feel.
I discovered the best music of Cuba, Brazil and Spain, tunes that let me move the way I want, full of life and with lots and lots of spice. What is latin dances if not spicy?
So if you miss being free, listen to some Cuban salsa and just move. Instinctively, you'll get the rhythm , the steps. And don't forget to move your hips :D

What if he's just not that into you?

2009-06-06T11:14:00.004+03:00

You know that kind of movies that at first don't make you that exited but after you've watched them you have sweet taste? Or that kind of movie where you don;t know for sure with what character you identify with because you have so much stuff in common with almost all of them?
Well, for me, this movie has been really enjoyable and fun. Of, course it has s semi-happy ending but it is kinda' eye-opening, in a way.

If we like a guy, us, girls, we'll do just about anything not to admit that he does not like us. We come up with excuses and all kind of theories just to be right about "him", although we know what a<> he has been and is and maybe he is not that right for us. In our heads, we have these preconceived notions about how a guy should act if he likes us, that we get lost in our own fictional stories and plots we have in our heads, so disappointment is ooon the way almost always.

Something I always say is that honesty helps sooo much. What is so wrong just to ask him "Are you ever going to take me out?" or " Do you like me or something like that?". Get honest and if he rejects you then just tell you've got it all wrong. Be cool about it. We're all humans and make mistakes but when it comes to the opposite sex, us, women, can be very delusional sometimes. :)

Take care!

Red poppies and my July

2009-06-04T21:44:00.004+03:00

This is a painting I've finished a couple of months ago and (I know that the photo is not great) I took it out from its hiding and put it on my door (it's pretty big). It really sets me in a good mood in the morning, maybe because I love poppies and that it reminds me of everything I love about summer.

Like it?

Only when I sleep

2009-06-02T22:56:00.004+03:00

What an interesting dream this night again. Maybe the song is responsible or the fact that I've listened to it for a couple of times before falling asleep. Pushes me to dream.

What a great performance! I used to love the Corrs so much but almost forgot them. The strings incorporated in the music along with catchy beats and choruses, they have a really strong instrumental basis that sound good and supports almost all of their songs, of course, their best songs. There is no doubt about the fact that they are great live and can deliver a flawless performance even when its about difficult songs like this, a song so soft and stil passionate. Oh, I love it!

Another song I fully recomend and adore:

The Corrs feat. Bono-When the stars go blue

Runaway anyone?? :D

"One World"Film Clubs, 29 Mai 2009

2009-05-29T20:44:00.007+03:00

"One world " film clubs e un proiect international ce consta in proiectarea filmelor pe baza drepturilor omului, proiectii urmate de o dezbatere la care participa sau care este moderata de un invitat.
Astazi filmul a fost "Decreteii", care ne-a adus in prim plan anumite elemente problematice ale societatii pre-decembriste, elemente care ne afecteaza insa si astazi, intr-un fel sau altul. Discutiile au fost foarte interesante, putand discuta la un nivel ce ne-a permis atingerea anumitor lucruri delicate.
Aceasta proiectie a fost prima din Iasi de acest fel, dar vor mai urma cu siguranta si altele. Noi, organizatorii din Negruzzi, suntem foarte entuziasmati de aceste filme si speram sa putem organiza o noua proiectie cat de curand.

O sa va tin la curent with the opcoming events!

p.s: the poster is partly in negative for unknown reasons :D blogger-stuff, no idea.

Everyone knows their mellow songs and lead singer's soothing and great. They have brought up a lot of memories.
Just one thing before I go rest: you never knew how hard core their guitarist can be.

Summer's on my window

2009-05-23T11:42:00.005+03:00

School's almost over but I still have two semestrial papers. But I really can't help myself not to think about the summer holiday that is coming like a sand storm. So, what are my plans?

Firstly, I will be at my grandparents for a couple of weeks where I'll be sleeping under the peach-tree with a book and my player and continue painting. It's such a wonderful place and I can't wait to go there, where I feel sometimes more like home than where I am right now, in my bedroom.

Then I'll go with my parents in Montenegro,in Budva, a trip had no influence on. They just told me in February "Just so you know, we are going to Budva this year". I hope it's going to be great.

After that, we'll be heading to the mountains, where we go every year since I was born. Horse-back riding, here I come!

What are your plans for the summer?

2009-05-17T22:11:00.002+03:00

Pentru ca suna bestial.

And this one's really cute, smth to listen on a rainy day:

P.S.: Yeah, he won Eurovision, but that song is not thaaat great. I like these better and I am happy that he won and not smth very very commercial, but I had my other favorites (Patricia Kaas!). My first year of watching Eurovision Final beginning to end. :P

...yeah, the guy's pretty cute :D

"Vioara Stradivarius in campanie sociala", Iasi, 12-05-2009

2009-05-12T21:18:00.004+03:00

Un eveniment grozav, o seara cu muzica perfecta, al treilea eveniment semnat Alexandru Tomeascu si Horia Mihail la care am asistat. Acesta a fost de asemenea si unul de caritate, ei fiind intr-o campanie de strangere de fonduri pentru Asociatia Nevazatorilor din Romania.
Tomescu a cantat cu tot ce a avut, ca de obicei, intr-un mod exceptional, emanand emotie, facand sala sa vibreze. Nu imi gasesc cuvintele care imi veneau atat de usor in timpul reprezentatiei. Horia Mihail, la pian, couldn't be more powerfull, more tender. Amandoi au sustinut un concert pe care il consider a fi unul din cele mai bune pe care le-am vazut vreodata.
Daca aveti sansa, nu-i ratati pe cei doi.
Trust me, you won't regret it!

Diary. Please. 19

2009-05-09T22:53:00.004+03:00

Some people hate, some people don't care. I think I do neither. I don;t hate but I do not "not" care either. If someone has done something wrong towards me and has not shown any sign of remorse or just telling "sorry", then something builds up in me. It's not hatred, it's a negative thing that pushes me to dislike that person a loooooot. Usually, hypocrites are on my list.
And it makes me a bit sad when I acknowledge that I'd like to talk badly about them.

And it scares me. I don't want to be that way. I once promised myself I'll never be like this.
Because of this week's events I've been disturbed and stressed a lot. I hate when I can't enjoy myself because of that kind of people. I can't be myself anymore when they suffocate me from every direction. So now I try to ask you something.

If you know you're arrogant, have treated me horrible, talked trash about me behind my back, etc, please leave me alooone. Maybe you hate me. Then please leave me where I am because I really don't want to know anything about you and I really really don't want to care if you live or not.

So leave me alone , let me forget that you even exist.

Lets say "hello" if we pass next to each other on the street but I need a break so give me one.

Song: Sister Hazel - your winter

Diary. Late. 18

2009-05-05T23:35:00.003+03:00

It's really late. I've been working on a poster for an event in my school. The reason why I'm up now is because a certain teacher didn't agree with one of the photos on the poster and I had to re-do it from scratch because without that photo, all the logic was gone.
The picture was with a bionic woman , and I thought it was pretty good. It worked as a theme-photo for informatics on the poster, it blended in, it was okay. But somehow she decided that it has to be replaced as it seems to...sexy to be exposed in a school.

Do you think it was too much?

This is it:For the record: I think she is very wrong.

He is so cool!

2009-04-30T21:45:00.005+03:00

Yes, this is what you think it is. The real deal, for me :d . I wrote him a letter I sent with the big picture in the envelope ( the smaller one is in HQ and I didn't sent it) and look what I got back in four (looong) months. I adore the guy! :D

Yeah, it's Robert Pattinson's autograph :D

Ciao tutti!

2009-04-30T19:25:00.006+03:00

And I am baaack! The last week I've been away with a school project in Bolgna, Italy. Okay, it was tiring and boring, smetimes, but it was also fun. We visited the most important stuff of Bologna, Venice, Ravena, Cervia, San Marino and spent one night in Rimini. I should write more abut it but I won't. A picture's worth 1000 words, right?

P.S: I've been speaking in a mixture of Spanish-Italian-Romanian-English these days so forgive my mistakes. And thnx to all the ppl who took (without willing) care of me ( like stopping me from drinking too much and saving me from moving vehicles etc).

What if....

2009-04-11T09:43:00.004+03:00

... you won 100.000 $?

Would you spend it right away in a one week shopping trip? Would you try to use them wisely and take it slow? Or would you save it for your future?

Your answer could summarize everything you have ever learned about life until now, what type of person you are, how much does your social status influence your life.

If you think about saving it for the future, then that is wise because, for people my age for example, college is coming soon and, abroad, fees are pretty high and this sum can make the difference, although indulging yourself just a little in no harm to you or anyone.

Spending slow is great and you can make sure you don't waste any thing on useless items. Taking one step at the time is very wise and spending like that is not something a lot of people can do.

That two-day shopping trip sounds perfect? Would you feel great finally buying those designer shoes or glamorous dresses straight from the runway? Well, I guess you should keep in mind what money really are and the value of them. Our parents have not earned them by rubbing their hands together. Think about them and what can you do for them in order to thank them for 17 years of raising you. If clothes are the only things you dream about, then you should remember the people around you. And no matter how trendy and expensive they are, clothes cannot make you more beautiful, smarter, funnier, or kinder.

So think about it. What if....?

Cateva ori, dar in gluma. Cred ca de 2 ori am zis pe bune.

Probabil Titania, din "Visul unei nopti de vara" de Shakespeare. E personajul meu preferat si ceva din caracterul ei il gasesc in al meu.

6. Cât de bine te înţelegi cu tine?
Nu extraordinar. Mi s-a spus de multe ori ca sunt prea exigenta cu mine insumi, deci nu e un semn bun.

"Lemonade"

8. Descrie în trei cuvinte o persoană pe care încă nu ai cunoscut-o.
Imi e greu sa descriu pana si persoanele pe care le cunosc de ani buni...deci nu pot.

A probable conversation...

2009-04-04T22:24:00.006+03:00

...between me and my conscience.

Warning sign

ea: Te am la degetul mic.
eu: Stiam asta.
ea: Nu iti dai seama cat de usor imi este?
eu: Parca era un lucru bun sa fii un om "constiincios", sa...
ea: Ar trebui sa iti revii. Scuzele nu te ajuta. Incearca ceva real.
eu: Despre ce vorbesti?
ea: Ma asculti prea mult. Iti mai joc si farse. Exagerez, ma joc. Ia-o mai moale.
eu: Parca am luat-o mai moale.
ea: S-o crezi tu.
eu: Dar azi...azi am mers la un film usor, am jucat carti, am umblat...Am luat-o mai usor..nu?
ea: Nu. Asta a fost doar o zi. Maine iarasi o sa fii la fel.
eu. Dar maine e duminica si vreau sa..
ea: Vrei sa ce? Bine, maine e duminica. Dar vine luni.
eu: Luni.
ea: Da, luni.
eu: Termin-o. Nu sunt stresata. Nu am de ce. Sunt libera sapt viitoare, nu am cine-stie-ce de invatat.
ea: Ma enervezi. Crezi ca daca unii iti zic ca esti relaxata, chiar esti asa?Te credeam altfel.
eu: Cum ma credeai?
ea: Uite, asta e o problema. E parerea mea si gata. Nu ma asfixia cu intrebari. Gata.
eu: Okay.
ea: Ar trebui sa faci ceea ce trebuie, nu sa te oftici si sa-i oftici si pe altii.
eu: Of, la ce naiba te referi??
ea: Incearca sa iti dai seama singura.
eu: Dar sunt singura. Nu imi dau seama despre ce vorbesti, dar o sa incerc.
ea: Vezi? Nu ma mai baga in seama atat de mult.
eu: Aberezi.
ea: Defapt, tu esti aia.

It was really great and I love her songs, especially "Come away with me" (you can listen to it below).

Diary. Haunt me. 17

2009-03-26T21:36:00.004+02:00

Chocolate flakes with cold milk. My fingers ache and so do my wrists. I abused my piano today as I haven't in a long time. Cold feet. Cold hands. As always. Hair tied back, legs under me. Tired. Paint brushes. I want to paint but time is not enough.

"There are some things you can't control". But, still, I want to. I really really really want to control this one. It's so frustrating being human.

Loud music behind me.A Coldplay concert. My neck sores.

"I've been there once and I know the feeling". Well, I know I have been there many times. I should have known better. I feel like a fool. I am one.

And the music goes on and on. Beautiful music.

Still haunted...

Pe 20 martie, impreuna cu cativa (doi) amici, am fost la proiectia de scutmetraje din cadrul festivalului Future Shorts care a avut loc la Teatrul National Bucuresti. Evenimentul a fost de amploare ( 7 sali de proiectie, concert si after-party) iar filmele au fost destul de bune. Mai jos sunt cele mai frapante , impreuna cu cele care mi-au placut.

My personal favorite: Un videoclip regizat de Alma Har'el care mi-a placut enorm, iar melodia e geniala.

Song: Robbie Williams - Come undone

Maybe most of you don't know but I actually don't really like myself. No, I really don't. I don't like my works ( I care about them but don't really like them). I think I play the piano like a first-grader. I don't read too much. I don't know that much. I don't paint enough. I should study harder. I should know more about music, about movies. I should be less grungy-er with my classmates and my parents. I wish too much. I am too naive sometimes. I trust people I shouldn't. I don't dress very well. I have scars. I talk too much. I don't write enough. I can't make my blog better. I don't have a nice haircut. I don't go out that much. I am not very funny. I am tired.

And so far, I have used "I" 27 times. Maybe a bit ego-centric?

Saptamana asta am fost plecata, impreuna cu cativa prieteni din aceeasi scoala la festivalul de film documentar pentru drepturile omului "One World Romania" care a avut loc in Bucuresti, la Centru Ceh. Am mai fost in Bucuresti de cateva ori, dar doar pentru concerte si acum am reusit sa cunosc cat de cat orasul.

Are gust de praf. Femei ce platesc chirie la solar, autobuze vesnic pline, parcari pe trecerile de pietoni, trotuare distruse de cine-stie-ce, shaormarii la toate colturile, cocalari cu steaua-n frunte, mirosuri ciudate si magazine fara rost pe bulevardele principale. "Ospitalitatea" tipica a localnicilor care vorbesc intr-un dialect cu totul special si ondulat nu a intarziat sa apara de la liceeni veniti la o proiectie ca sa rada si sa manance fara nici un pic de interes pentru lucrurile importante care se discutau pana la domnisoare frustrate de numarul invitatilor care, fara nici un pic de bun-simt, exclud parte din persoanele de care vor avea nevoie. ( Sa nu intelegeti gresit, oameni "ok" si inteligenti exista, insa in numar mic, la fel ca in toata tara).

In prima zi, ca sa omoram timpul si sa mancam, am intrat in Unirea Shopping Center si m-am speriat de ce am vazut. Brusc multe lucruri au inceput sa se lege si daca vedeti si voi magazinele si cei care cumpara din ele veti sti si voi. O mica parte din mine spera, la fel ca in celelalte capitale europene pe care l-am vizitat-nu ca s-ar cumpara cu Bucurestiul, ca voi vedea persoane boeme pe strada. Ma refer la cei cu maini murdare de vopsele care-si cara tablourile , cei cu viori in mana, chitari in spate, sau macar cu o carte in mana. Nimic. Nada.

Blocurile enorme fac orasul sa arate mai mult ca o statiune industriala cu locuitori pe masura. Sigur ca sunt si cladiri foarte frumoase care mi-au placut enorm insa nu sunt ingrijite si m-am mirat cum de mai stau in picioare. In rest, orasul e inghesuit, fara spatii verzi, fara bancile cu care sunt atat de obisnuita aici.

Insa pentru ce e bun Bucurestiul daca nu pentru cumparaturi? Desi nu am avut timp, am gasit chestii geniale care m-au entuziasmat pana peste putinta. Partituri. Va recomand cu cladura libraria "Anthony Frost" pe Calea Victoriei 45, Galeriile Kretulescu, unde se pot gasi muuulte carti doar in engleza precum si obiecte de papetarie, cataloage de arta si semne de carte superbe ( eu am trei :D). De asemenea, am vazut cateva galerii de arta pe blv. Magheru cu tablouri excelente.

Insa ce a facut aceasta calatoria distractiva si de neuitat a fost intreg grupul de ieseni grabiti si nemancati. Ne-am distrat de minune si momentan mi se pare foarte liniste fara ei (si fara scartaitul paturilor supra-etajate din hostel).
