Pe apa sâmbetei

[Pe apa sâmbetei, de Ileana Vulpescu]

. Secretul intelegerii in lume este toleranta.
. Putine sunt bucuriile peste care nu cade nici o pata menita sa le-ntunece.
. Din viata care mi-a fost data am invatat sa nu mai mir de nimic. Fatarnicia si rautatea n-au margini. Fatarnicia macar are un scop. Dar rautatea gratuita are proportii greu de-nchipuit.
. Te ce-ntelegi prin libertate? - Sa nu depinda nimeni de tine [...] Fiindca am capatat libertatea de-a muri oricand, fara sa sufere nimeni in urma mea.
. La orice trebuie sa ai noroc in viata, dar mai ales la oameni.
. Probabil ca oricat s-ar strica relatiile intre doi soti, ceva ramane, ca o piesa buna intr-un mecanism deteriorat. Probabil nu poti renunta definitiv la un martor al vietii tale, participant la tot ce ai petrecut bun sau rau. Simti nevoia de-a depana amintiri, de-a spune cuiva: "Ti-aduci aminte cand...".

Cred ca daca ar fi sa scriu vreodata o carte, aceasta ar fi.
O carte despre mine, cu toate vietile concentrice care coexista in mine.

Dupa 15 ani

Neige à Paris

Ninge... cu fulgi mari. Si asta nu e tot, caci nu e prima oara.
Dar de data asta s-a asezat. Asa cum trebuie sa fie. Iarna.

Zapada. Dimineata. Miroase a frig...

Sfantul Nicolae

Da, ala de care am uitat eu in ziua cu pricina, desi eram pregatita pana in dinti de dinainte. Ce inseamna sa te ineci ca broasca la mal...

Sau ca rata, I should say, aia care ma astepta toata in zahar si zambind, langa fructele confiate - the Cutest Thing Ever ღ♥ღ

Happy Saint Nicholas!

Paquita

Paquita @Opera Garnier, Paris

Si uite asa mi-am amintit de primul meu balet vazut vreodata, la casa de cultura, la Bacau - Cenusareasa... Trebuie sa fi tot avut vreo 6-7 ani...
Si tot ce vroiam era sa am si eu rochita ca aceea... imi faci, mami? imi faci si mie?... :-)

Nature conscious

This is just an ad from the UK.
This is not about this specific company, nor bio products. It's just that... I'd love to be more conscious of where my food comes from and be more in contact with its origins.

More nature conscious! Starting with me!
PS: I know where my apples that I have right now come from. And that's just cool! :-)

Copilarii in rime

Magda Isanos, cu poezia ei copilaroasa...

Si daca nu mi s-ar fi parut asa de vesela si de simpla si de pur si simplu copil, poate nici nu as fi vorbit de asta aici...
Caci ce poate mai fliu-fliu decat sa vorbesti de toporasi, rochite, saruturi si logodna... :-)

Is it because I rap about reality, like me and my baby having a cup of tea?

Magic

Magic has always been a constant in my life and I have always believed in it.

Funny as it may seem to all rational minds (including my own), everything finds its balance in magic. And from there, any try to perceive things by the rules of the rationality is simply futile.

Sziget 2010 - the spirit

M-am tot gandit cum as putea sa surprind esenta momentului.
Am ales o poza. Cu o femeie frumoasa si sexy, tanara in spirit, energica si mai ales, vie... Iubesc spiritul asta...

Cine stie cum o sa fiu cand o sa fie sa fiu...

Si uite aici...

Climats

[Climate, de André Maurois]

"Cand intram in budoarul ei, incercam sentimentul frumosului intr-un mod atat de ascutit ca eram usor tulburat. Sotia mea statea pe un sezlong mai totdeauna in rochie alba, iar langa ea, pe o masuta scunda, o vaza de Venetia cu gatul stramt, cu o singura floare in ea, ba uneori numai cu cateva frunzisoare. Odile iubea florile mai mult decat orice pe lume: incepuse sa-mi placa si mie sa aleg flori pentru ea. Ma obisnuisem sa urmaresc trecerea anotimpurilor in vitriniele florariilor; vedeam cu placere revenind timpul crizantemelor sau acela al lalelelor deoarece culorile lor violente sau gingase imi ingaduiau sa vad aparand pe buzele sotiei mele zambetul unei Odile fericite.[...] Le admira, incantata, apoi devenea grava: "Sa-mi aranjez florile", si isi pierdea o ora, alegand vaza, scuturandu-le, asezandu-le intr-o lumina potrivita, care sa dea unui fir de stanjenel sau unui trandafir curba cea mai gratioasa."

"Focul mocnit dintr-insa aparea la suprafata numai sub forma de flacari violente si scurte care-mi dogoreau inima si pe care le simteam cu atat mai intens cu cat stiam ca sunt involuntare. Dupa cum odinioara moda ascundea uneori de ochii barbatilor trupul femeii, dand astfel pret unei rochii putin ridicate, tot asa pudoarea sentimentelor, ascunzand mintii semnele obisnuite ale pasiunii, face sa reiasa valoarea si gratia unor nuante imperceptibile de limbaj."

Fail better

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter.
Try Again. Fail again. Fail better."
[Samuel Beckett]

Awesome

Whenever I'm sad, I just stop being sad and be awesome instead!

Plitvice

M-am decis. Nu vreau o casutza cu gradina...
Vreau o rezervatie naturala!

Azi nu

[Grasu XXL feat. Guess Who - Azi nu]
...aka Dragos din Bacau (:-)!!)

Azi nu, te rog io, nu nu...
Uite asa, sentimentul asta de libertate pura... de nas in vant, de vant in plete si pleata pe umeri...
Sentimentul asta de infinit, lipsa de frontiere, de viata intreaga inainte si lumea intreaga la picioare... bucurie simpla si zambet naiv... imi astept vacanta, si o data cu ea, schimbarea...

Si altar sa fac celui care ma ia de mana si care imi intelege privirea...

Sziget 2010

Alicia @Paris

Just don't let her speak... sing is better!
Alicia Keys @Paris, 31 mai 2010, Bercy

Fuck fallin', if i ain't got you, no one, try sleeping with a broken heart...
'Cause now... now I give you the empire state of mind, an element of freedom!!...

[Empire state of mind - Jay-Z, Alicia Keys]

...Paris!!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can’t do,
Now you're in Paris!!
These streets will make you feel brand new,
the lights will inspire you,
Let's hear it for Paris, Paris, Paris...

Roland Garros

...rulz!

Ma bucur ca am descoperit evenimentul asta si ma bucur sa il fi dezvaluit de-a lungul timpului si celor dragi.
Si imi da chef de jucat tenis. Cu baietii care lovesc tare, tare :-)

Si cu fete sexxy... :-)

Jezebel

Jezebel, Jezebel...

Wiki says... that originally this name would have been translated as Virgin of Baal, but a letter was added to the name so as to give it a negative meaning Whore of Baal.
A letter, ha!... Ha ha!! A letter and everything changes...

Sade says...
Jezebel Jezebel
Won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
And the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
She'll say you don't know what you've been missing
And by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening

Depeche Mode says...
They call you Jezebel
For what you like to wear
you're morally unwell :-))
They say you never care for me
But what the fail to see is that
your games are the key

And last but not least...
Jezebel (1938) is a dear movie. Bette Davis plays an arrogant Southern girl who tries to be forgiven for her mistakes in the end, to the man she has always loved (played by Henry Fonda). Unfortunately destiny does not help her much...

This is part of the scene where she wants to wear a red dress at a ball where unmarried young girls are allowed to wear only white.
Like I wouldn't have done the same!... But unlike her, I still wouldn't have got why that was wrong... :-)



And I wonder... why is there that in movies (classical American that is, but not only...) the characters with such dramas are always girls?...
Why only girls are rebels and love forever? And why boys always get over it?... Why girls dare, why girls fight, why girls are restless?...

Well I don't know why... but they make such, such beautiful characters... Amazingly beautiful... :-)

El amor en los tiempos del cólera

[Dragostea in vremea holerei, de Gabriel García Márquez]

"Am asteptat peste jumatate de secol aceasta oportunitate pentru a-ti jura din nou credinta eterna si dragoste nemarginita.

...Traisera destul impreuna ca sa-si dea seama ca dragostea era dragoste oricand si oriunde, dar cu atat mai intensa cu cat se apropia de moarte."

Aparent recent a fost facut si un film, pe care l-am gasit descris ca lame, dar sa vedem... Asta in 2007! Eu unde eram?!...

Cat despre carte... hmm, cartea...
It keeps me... thinking, awake and going! And for this I am thankful :-)

...oricand si oriunde.

Madness day

Spring sonata

Ludwig van Beethoven, Violin Sonata No.5 "Frühlings Sonate", Op.24 - 1st mvt
Notes here.

This one I really love! As in "3 hours in a row" love. Maybe it's because it sounds familiar in a way, maybe just because it has something to do with spring...

La mécanique du cœur

[La mécanique du cœur, de Mathias Malzieu (Dionysos)]

Am citit doar cartea. Dar are si muzica care merge bine. Mi se pare atat de frumoasa ideea, ca proiect artistic... sa scrii cartea, sa ii scrii muzica, sa ii faci grafica si video-urile... e cam ca o mancare buna, care mai si miroase bine pe de-asupra :-)
E o carte (suprarealism pus in cuvinte simple) pentru copii mari, despre iubire, asa cum visam la ea cu suflete de copii...

"Tu sais, lorsque j'étais amoureux, je n'arrêtais pas d'inventer des choses. Tout un bazar d'artifices, illusions et trucages, pour amuser ma fiancée. Je crois qu'elle en a eu marre de mes inventions finalement, dit-il, la moustache en berne. Je voulais fabriquer un voyage sur la Lune rien que pour elle, mais c'est un vrai voyage sur Terre que j'aurais d lui offrir. La demander en mariage, nous trouver une maison plus habitable que mon vieil atelier, je ne sais pas... dit-il en soupirant. Un jour, j'ai découpé deux planches dans ses étagères puis j'y ai fixé des roulettes récupérées sur un chariot d'hôpital pour qu'on aille glisser tous les deux au clair de lune. Elle n'a jamais voulu monter dessus. Et j'ai du réparer les étagères. C'est pas facile tous les jours, l'amour, mon garçon, répète-t-il, songeur..."

Ei... si ma mai intrebai cum e sa iubesti cu suflet de copil... :-)

Dor de vara

Dor de vara, dor de duca...
Dor de picioare incalzite atinse de iarba rece...

Dor de apa, de apa cat vezi cu ochii...
Dor de piele uda si infiorata, la iesirea din mare...
Dor de nisip fierbinte. Peste tot pe pielea bronzata.
Dor de costume de baie colorate si plete crete-crete de la apa sarata...

Dor de citit in iarba... sau pe plaja... sau pe prispa... sau in gradina...
Dor de poze luminoase...
Dor de atingeri sfioase...
Dor de tine... de mine, cea de atunci...

Dor de vacanta linistita pe care pana la urma nu am mai avut-o niciodata...
Dor de culori...
Dor de dolce far niente...

Dor de vara, dor de duca...

Hors-pistes

Hors-pistes... if I did that, I can do anything.
And I did that :-)



Can you feel your thighs burning?!... Can you feel the fire?!...

Nu-ca??!!

Nu-i asa ca nuca-i nuca?
Nu ca nuca-i nuca, dar daca nuca n-ar fi nuca, nu ca nu m-ar interesa. De pielea ta. Dulceata ta. De nuci. Nu-ca??

Martisor

Imi place obiceiul martisoarelor. Imi place 1 martie si prin extensie, inceputul asta de luna...
Iubesc mult martisoarele clasice - cele cu buburuze, trifoi cu 4 foi sau cu potcoave. Si cele facute "in casa", manual.

La Multi Ani, copile! :-)

Si... iesi, copile cu parul balai, afara si rade la soare, doar s-a indrepta vremea!...

Ploaia care nu ma atinge

Si ploua, ploua februar...
Cu cer gri si Tour Eiffel in nori.

Desi vad bine umbrele in juru-mi si ajung acasa cu hainele ude... Nu simt picaturile cand imi cad pe fata sau in par. Ploaia de aici nu ma atinge niciodata, minune!
Ploua cu picaturi nesimtite :-) Ca in Paris nu ploua nicaieri... I'm lovin' it!

PS: In Paris, pana si ploaia imi place :-)...

I believe in pink

I believe in pink.
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.

Le Concert

Azi prezint un film: Le concert, de Radu Mihaileanu.
Pentru ca am ras. Uite asa, pur si simplu :-) Dar si pentru ca m-a facut sa plang. Asa cum nu am mai plans de mult timp. De foarte mult timp. Fara sa ma pot opri. Cu lacrimi continue. Cu ochi rosii la sfarsit, pe care nu ii puteam ascunde. Cu batiste terminate si pierdute dupa.
Intr-o dulce curgere Tchaikovsky...
