Coolest 2 'events' of the week :)

2010-04-09T19:12:00.008+03:00

1. One that has happened today.
2. One that will happen tomorrow.

1. Chinese aren't allowed to use Facebook nor are they allowed to use Youtube (I know, sad) but a friend of mine told me about their own Youtube, namely Youku. And I wanted to watch some videos. The main video was this:

I have no idea why they were fighting since that gal is talking sooo fast. I remained dissapointed when I saw that I can't understand a thing.

But today a miracle happened! :P As I was waiting for a tram, 2 chinese guys stood exactly behind me. They were talking, and talking, and talking and I couldn't understand a thing. I was about to quit listening when I heard 红 hong, which means red, and 漂亮 piaoliang, which means beautiful. Since I'm redheaded, I had a feeling they might be talking about me but wasn't sure so I turned to look at them.

They were both looking at me and smiling and I instantly started laughing out loud and then rolling of the floor laughing (South Park S14E04 reference!). I was shocked that I could understand something and that they were talking about me, but I didn't quite want to talk in Chinese. However, I wanted to let them know I know a bit of Chinese. When one of them asked me 'How are you?' in Romanian, I started laughing even harder and took out my Chinese book. YOU CAN'T IMAGINE THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES!! :)) They were completely shocked and who knows what else they were saying about me that I wasn't supposed to hear and maybe they thought I had understood everything even though i had understood only 'red' and 'beautiful' haha!! They were shocked, I was laughing and while I started telling them in Chinese that I'm a student at the foreign language university and that this is my first year of Chinese, they didn't say a word, they were just listening and looking intensely at me. One of them asked me something back in Chinese but I couldn't understand and as I were in a hurry to catch the tram, I just told them that I'm sorry I can't talk anymore and nice to meet them, of course in Chinese.

What were the chances of them being in Romania, liking a girl on the street, saying something about her and the girl knowing Chinese?! HAHA.

I'm sorry I was laughing so hard 'cause I could've talked more and better but I just couldn't believe it!

Chinese is fun!

2. The event which is going to take place tomorrow is OK Corral presents Music @ Post-Cochet 8hrs DJ Set (ex Embryo club, Ion Oteleseanu Street No. 3)

You can listen to one of their mixes here: OK Corral - Persona Grata.

The entrance is just 10 RON, the club is nice, the music will be a sort of joyful nufunk and the DJs are going to experiment a bit! Come and see what's in their sleeves :P

I'll be waiting for you all there, as it's the last time I'm going out until the 1st of May.

Cheers everyone and 再见！

Fail

2010-03-25T03:16:00.004+02:00

Saturday I went to see The Model at the Transformars Event in the Base Shop disguised as a club and I actually had a lot of fun but that's not the fail. The fail was how a guy... well, I don't think he was trying to hit on me, but I actually still have no idea what he wanted from me.

So this guy comes up to me and asks me if I like games. I tell him no, even though I LOVE GAMES. He said that he was going to ask me 5 questions and that I need to answer wrongly. At first, I didn't hear the last part so I answered correctly to the first question 'What cigarettes are you smoking?'. He then emphasized that I need to answer wrongly. I had finally heard & understood what he meant, since he was pretty drunk, and quickly changed my answer. The second question was 'What's your name?'. I answered Ioana and he started laughing and telling me that he knows that's not my name. Hah, genious, wasn't he? He then asked me the 3rd and the 4th questions, same shit, and the last one was 'How many questions have I asked you?'. And I answered 4.

At that moment he told me 'You lost, haha. I asked you 5 questions.' and he left.

What's up with that?! People don't kno' how to play anymo'. Try some DOTA or something serious with rules'n'shit cause boy oh boy, if games and gamers lose their logic...

If he had come straight up to me and said 'i am chuffed to bits by your ba donka donk' it would have been a lot more likely for me to enjoy the conversation. At least I would have had the certainty he knew who Hugh Laurie was :P

Why does this happen to me?

2010-03-17T20:05:00.003+02:00

I am still not able of talking freely in front of people. Don't get me wrong i like socializing and I can befriend someone easily but only if I'm surrounded by 5-6 persons who can hear me or less - which means clubbing isn't a problem :P

The thing that most people who don't have such a problem don't understand is that the reactions I get before a presentation or whatever is completely involuntary.

For instance, even in my Chinese classes, where I already know all the people for at leat 5 months and I already took a 9 in my exam - so I usually know the correct answers - I still get those reactions. They consist of shivering, extremely fast heart beating & mouth dryness. Thus, when I start talking, I usually stagger.

Therefor, I usually don't answer unless I'm asked to. When I'm asked, even though I hate the state I get into, I feel obliged to answer so that people won't think I'm stupid :P. However, when I do feel the need of pointing something out and I summarize a bit in my head the ideas I'm going to talk on, just knowing that I am going to be heard and listened to by 30 persons or so I get in that state and I usually end up by... not saying anything at all.

我知道，这个不好。

Considering all these, I might've chosen the most inappropiate of languages: a tonal one. Given that I cannot talk properly and fluently in front of people in Romanian or English, how could I possibly manage to pull that off with Chinese, where 'ping' means like 15 different stuff, all depending on how you pronounce it?! Besides all those things that change fiziologically, I must also concentrate on tones. On the other hand, Chinese might help me overcome this in time. Since I like it a lot, I surely hope it will be the second case.

And yes, alcohol does help but I can't just start drinking on a daily basis now, can I? :P Along with that may come other problems.

Any advice from someone who had this fear and overcame it already? I don't need any advice from people who are born to speak in public, that's my mother and my brother's role :P!

By the way, yesterday was my mom's bday so HaPPy bDAY MoM!

New Lady Gaga video banned on TV

2010-03-15T01:51:00.002+02:00

'See? I told you she didn't have a dick.'

PS: What's up with so many advertisements on YouTube?! They're enough on TV :)

How do you like me now?

2010-03-13T03:42:00.004+02:00

I’m pretty sure some of you won’t agree of this post, but you’re free to share your opinions.

Before I got my period, someone told me 2 things I wasn’t allowed to do while menstruating. First one was 'don’t get wet' and the second one 'you aren’t allowed to go into a church'. As I was quite small, I thought the first one was related to something biologically, like you’re going to get stuff if you get into water – not understanding that the person was talking about swimming pools. However, I was sure women showered during that period :)).

But what intrigued me and actually intrigues me now even more is the second advice. Why wouldn’t I be allowed to go into a church? Not that I’m that religious, I’m on Darwin’s side on this one, but still why aren’t you allowed? A person told me that it’s a sin. WHY?! Apparently you’re not ‘clean’ if you’re menstruating. But didn’t, so they say, God make us all? Why would he not agree with us, women, if he made us? It doesn’t make any sense, Darwin’s more logical than that.

Look:

Levitic: „De va avea femeia curgere de sânge, care curge din trupul său, trebuie să stea şapte zile pentru curăţirea sa… Dacă femeii îi va curge sânge mai multe zile şi nu în timpul regulii ei, sau dacă ea are curgere mai mult decât timpul regulii ei obişnuite, atunci în tot timpul curgerii necurăţiei ei va fi necurată, ca şi în timpul regulii ei.”
RIGHT!

Sf. Atanasie cel Mare este mai îngăduitor şi consideră scurgerile cele fireşti ca neavând nici un fel de păcat şi nici un fel de necurăţie, iar concepţiile că aceste scurgeri ar fi păcătoase şi depărtarea de biserică pe seama lor, le pune pe seama diavolului.
Well that’s more like it.

There are more problems with religious stuff, like why do babies get born with all sorts of diseases? It’s not as if they’re sinful at 2 months old. But I’m done talking about this. It bores me a bit. Anyhow, I haven’t been into a church since I fainted in one, like 6 or 7 years ago.

(c) The religious quotes were taken from here.

Look what I’ve found – well, not me… but I am the one sharing it with you so anyways:

You should definitely hear more from these guys - The Heavy - I’m sure you're going to agree. David Letterman himself asked for a bis.

These 2 Happy Fish Productions make me laugh so hard each time I see them, so you should really check them out:

Avatarul dupa Oscar - Avatar after the Oscar Awards

Turbo cana 500 - Turbo cup 500

Until I find Laura Marling - Is a Hope, I'll let you enjoy the following song:

Did I mention how much I hate this weather?! I haven't gotten sick all winter and now, in March, I'm feeling awful. I have no idea how snowdrops got out. I detest it. I really do, in its true meaning. I surely hope it won't be snowy until May, as a friend told me...

PS: For those of you who searched ‘how can I see the Red Cliff movie for free’ [‘cum pot sa vad filmul Red Cliff gratis’] just try torrents. Great choice btw!

PPS: For those of you who searched 'Chinese models paintings' [‘modele chinezesti picturi’] sorry you had to find my amateurish paintings :P.

And as a closing quote: 'wanting to know an author because you like his work is like wanting to know a duck because you like pate.' or, as my brother put it 'wanting to fuck an author because you like his work is like wanting to fuck a duck because you like pate'.

Cheers.

Insights into Chinese Language

2010-02-28T15:06:00.006+02:00

I've recently found a forum about the Chinese language and by far the most interesting topic was the one regarding how foreigners managed to use Chinese in China.

As you already know, and if you don't you should know, Chinese is a tonal language, which means that they talk on 4 different tones. So... the same syllable has between 3 and 12 different meanings. For example, ma could mean mom, horse, ant, to scold someone and some final particles, depending on how you say it. Thus, the pronounciation is very important.

One of the stories on that forum was that a guy went to the cafeteria and asked for 女肉 nu rou (woman meat) instead of 牛肉 niu rou (beef). Apparently the cafeteria guy didn't understand what he had asked for and acted quite weird. The poor guy went home confused and looked it up, to his amusement.

Another one was about a guy who started dating a Chinese girl and while they were at home, he wanted to tell her to sit down 坐 zuo but instead he told her to 走 zou (to leave). He couldn't understand why she instantly wanted to leave :)).

There were a lot more stories, I had a good laugh. However, it sort of freaked me out about the whole studying in China prospect. I mean there was one guy who mistook a word for a sexual one in front of the whole university while he was giving a speech; of course everyone laughed really hard and he had no idea what had just happened. It's not hard to make mistakes like that, considering that 性 xing means sex and 行 xing means OK :P.

Although I've been studying Chinese for just 5 months, I have a funny story too. At one Chinese course, the conversation between me and Miss Liu was something like:

Liu 老师：你的发音很好。
Liu Laoshi: Ni de fayin hen hao.
Miss Liu: Your pronounciation is very good.

我：我不知道法语。
Wo: Wo bu zhidao fayu.
Me: But I don't speak French.

Of course, this happened when I was a novice :P. I don't mistake fayin for fayu anymore but I do have problems at times with 法语 fayu (French) and 语法 yufa (grammar). As you can see, same syllables, same pronounciation, same characters, just the order is inversed.

I think I'll always be amazed of how Chinese works :P. It's just too different from the other languages not to be into it.

Btw, this is how one of my notes looks like:

PS: Last night's party was fun :P.

再见！

Stuff

2010-02-19T23:38:00.000+02:00

Since I stopped playing DOTA and poker or any life consuming games I might have become quite productive. In the past month, besides getting pretty high marks in my exams (10, 9, 9, 8, 7, 7, x) I've finished watching 4 TV series (scrubs, glee, it's always sunny in philadelphia and modern family), went to around 4 parties, read 3 books and seen some movies.

Scrubs isn't that funny. The jokes are good, but the script is quite badly written because it only made me do "hmph, that was a good one" and not get a proper laugh. However, it gave me an insight into the way hospitals - not in Romania though - work.

Glee isn't my type either. It's... well, it's a musical and takes place in a highschool. I always liked watching highschool-related movies/series because I wanted to know how that particular period is lived in other parts of the world. However, I only watched it for that.

Gasca, the only guy I know who likes The Office <3, told me about a series which was supposed to be funny, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I had read some comments on IMDb about it and one person said that it's "Seinfeld on crack". So obviously I immediately downloaded it. Too bad... it's not. I mean, it's not even close to Seinfeld's humour. Nor is it to any other humour. It was dry and God knows I love dry humour but I didn't like this series. It just didn't click to me. At times, I might've caught some good jokes but all in all it's not worth it. Charlie is a fake copy of George and sadly, I didn't find Danny de Vito funny. And yes, I've seen all 5 seasons.

I found out about Modern Family when it was nominated at Golden Globe and decided to give it a try. It features the actor who played Al Bundy in Married with Children, who got kinda old. I watched it with my mother and neither of us found it funny. Again, some good jokes at times but all in all it's kinda dull.

HOWEVER, I have read an exceptional book, 1984 by George Orwell. My gosh was it good! It's written in 1949 but the action takes place in 1984 and it's about a totalitarian political system, mainly about communism. It's made up of 3 parts; the first one presents the main character, who hates the system and whose actions and thoughts are completely parallel because he could go to jail at any moment, the second part presents his 'love' story with a young girl who also hated the system and the third part tells the story of how they got caught and what happened to them. It is oficially the only book that gave me the shivers while I read it. You just have to read it for yourself to know what I mean. The guys who thought up the TV show Big Brother got their idea from this book, btw.

I have also seen a really great Chinese movie, Chibi 赤壁 - Red Cliff, which tells the story of the 3 kingdoms' war. I usually don't like action movies, but this one was so well written and the procentage between the war parts and the way they planned the fight is so good that I love it. Too bad that 10 minutes before the end of the movie I realized there must be a second part because the final war hadn't taken place yet and, as a matter of fact, I was right. I finally downloaded the second part, 赤壁下, but hadn't had the time to watch it. It's becoming harder to watch a Chinese movie properly, as I had 2 subtitles - one in English and one in Chinese - and I was paying attention to both of them - one for the actual meaning and one for the Chinese characters - and I also paid attention to their pronounciation and the actual movie :))). I had to go back a lot, when I kept looking at the characters and didn't get anything of the action. Fun, nonetheless.

Anyway, these were the reviews for today. Meanwhile I have started school and my Chinese teacher taught us the new Chinese lesson in... Chinese. It was a bit of a shock for us, soon it became interesting and then tiring which led to my lost of wallet, which I still haven't find. I didn't lose much - my ID, my ING Card and my Student Card, but for what I lost I have to wander about a lot. I didn't lose it just because of the Chinese course of course, I was also up since 4 o'clock so yeah...

My mom got in the hospital, she had an operation and I must say that Romanian hospitals are shit. Honestly. She had to buy everything, even medical tubes, nevermind the medicines. Also the staff are so insensate, so cold-blooded, it's like the patients aren't people. It was definitely nothing like what I've seen in Scrubs. Yes, I know, they were always this way just that I haven't gone to one for a long time. I also realized that I never had an operation, nor have I had a broken bone. It is going to be awful when I will, since I'm definitely not used to it. Well, let's just hope that my mom is going to be ok, since she still has to stay there for a week. Btw, my mom's problem appeared mainly because of smoking and she hasn't smoked ever! Just me, my father, my brother and his girlfriend smoked and my mom smoked only passively. So when she comes back we won't be smoking in our house anymore and most likely we won't smoke at all. Sucks.

Tomorrow is the final day of Nights Awards voting, so do go on to http://awards/nights.ro and vote for Vania as the Best DJ. He was nominated at a lot of categories like: Best DJ, Best Musical Production with OK Corral - pink shue, Best Underground Musical Project with OK Corral, Best DJ Set with OK Corral @ Selectro, Expirat, Most Representative DJ in Foreign Countries with OK Corral, Best Party Brand with Groove++, Best Clubbing Radio Show with Nightgroove with Vania @ PRO FM Dance and Best Flyer with Shades of Grey. Good luck, Vania, Modelu, Thornado, Victor Stancov, Silas and Gojira!

If you're willing to party tonight come to The Ark, preferably dressed as a seaperson - seaman is mysoginistic, of course :P. It's the "Yacht Week Romania Release Party" and the music will be provided by Mike Rigler, French Cuisine and OK Corral! See you there!

Exams'n'parties

2010-02-01T13:24:00.000+02:00

So I had my first 6 exams, I've got just 1 exam left. Happy happy, joy joy! :)

First one was English Texts - a typical english exam: translations, exercises, idioms, etc. Fun. Second one was the Linguistic Concepts exam which kinda sucked magically. Before my third exam I went to a little party at Fabrica, had a bit of fun. Third one was Chinese Language Structure, which I actually enjoyed - it's Chinese related, of course I enjoyed it. I really think I've done well.

4th was *druuums* CHINESE! Both written and oral where I got an average of 9 <3. For the first time I answered really well in my oral exam. Miss Liu is a sweetheart and I didn't feel awkward at all. Of course, though, I got the most horrible subject "Please describe your major". You just didn't have what to talk about... Anyways, the 5th exam was Chinese Civilisation which was okey but I wasn't in the mood to study that much, as I only had one day between my 4th and 5th exam and because I also had to write a 7-page essay. However, I managed well enough, I think I'm gonna pass.

Saturday I went to another party, at Studio Martin - A guy named Gerald, which was fun. Yea, I love going to parties between exams. Remember the weekend between the BAC exams? Gosh, that was fun indeed :D. It sort of relaxes me, although yesterday I did have a massive hangover *blush*.

And *drums* today I had my British Literature exam for which I did not study at all. I had to read quite a number of books and this semester I have focused more on Chinese - of course. As always, I had read 3 books but the test included none of them :)). Oh well, hope I'll get a 5. Btw, I couldn't cheat at all, gosh, it was prison-like. And I'm kind of upset that after I left the exam amfitheatre, I remembered that I could have written something really cool and on the subject but during the whole exam I was completely tired and out of my mind. I mean, I wrote 'dissappear' instead of 'disappear' god damn it! I didn't quite give a rat's ass about this exam so why worry?

You're not a student if you pass all your exams, righhht? :))

The only reason I'm mad about myself is that I really like English and although I don't like literature that much, if I had spent a bit more time reading or studying I could have done a hell of a work. Oh well, maybe next time :).

I still have one exam left but thank God it's in 5 days.

Although Saturday was quite fun, music, drinks and all, what's the problem with chicks going clubbing?! I mean honestly, why do men have to apologize if they barely hit me and chicks hurry and hit me all the time? Firstly, why hurry in a club? Secondly, why not be more gentle as a girl? I also hate girls that like to stand in the middle of a dance ring and get really angry if you hit them while dancing. Why stand? Why not take a seat if you're not in the mood for dancing? And I also hate girls that dance as if they're on Love Pill and shout from every last body part OH FUCK ME, DO FUCK ME! Why not get a room and fuck all you want instead of coming and acting all hormonally in a club while flirting with 3 different guys at once? It's easier if you get a room, ya know..? :>

I'm off to watching Scrubs again. During this exam session Scrubs has been my closest companion as it's really cold and I'm in no mood whatsoever to go out.

Ta-ta!

Exam.s. 'n' Elec Tronik Kartell @ Fabrica

2010-01-19T10:00:00.000+02:00

I had my first exam yesterday - well actually the first one was English, but that one doesn't quite count. So, yesterday I had my first exam in 'Linguistics Concepts' which is actually an interesting subject, but since I HATE exams... It sucked. I had studied constantly for 2 days to be able to answer to only 3 out of 5 questions - mainly because the last 2 subjects were from the last 2 lectures which I didn't have :). Thursday I have another exam and almost the same amount of lessons to study, in the same amount of time - 2 days. It sucks.

Besides the fact that I am so stressed out for these exams, it started snowing again.... WHY GOD WHY?

Here are some jokes that made me crawl out of the stress zone for a tad:

An ugly man walks into his local pub with a big grin on his face. "What are you so happy about?" Asks the barman. "Well, I'll tell you," replies the ugly man. "You know, I live by the railway. Well, on my way home last night, I noticed a young woman tied to the tracks, like in the movies. I, of course, went and cut h...er free and took her back to my place. Anyway, to make a long story short, I scored big time! We made love all night, all over the house. We did everything, me on top, sometimes her on top, every position imaginable!" "Fantastic!" exclaimed the barman. "You lucky guy. Was she pretty?" "Don't know...Never found the head".
(c) Home Bank :D

A Czech goes to the ophthalmologist who shows him a card with the letters: C Z W X N Q S T A C Z "Can you read this?" he asks. "Read?!" the Czech replies: "I even know the guy!"
(c) Home Bank :D

Anyway, a good friend of mine showed me a song which also lightened my day and I want to share it with you :P.

Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass, I like having a detachable penis. :)))

PS: Even though it's exam session for most of us, for those of you who'll wanna chill out - actually party up :D - for a couple of hours come to Elec Tronik Kartell @ Fabrica with Ok Corral, The Model and Victor Stancov on the 23rd of January.

Check out the spot.

PS: I would study so much more if I had one of these:

Cheers!

Nationality disorder

2010-01-06T20:03:00.000+02:00

I tried taking one of those useless Facebook tests, out of boredom - the inner nationality test - for 5 times. I got an error each time. I started thinking and I might know the answer.

I like British humour & music, Chinese language, Turkish nargile, people & seaside, Greek dancers, Japanese, Korean, French & Mexican movies, USA's history & Constitution, Chinese & Indian cookery, The Netherlands' Red Light District & open-mindedness, Egypt & Tunis' deserts & pyramids, British, French & German school systems & museums but nothing seems to cross my mind about Romania. I'm sure though there is something I like considering that I wouldn't move to another country. Perhaps it's just family related but still.

Anyways, I get it now why Facebook "errored" me. I'm just inner nationality-less.

PS: For those of you who have seen James Cameron's Avatar take a look here.
PPS: What crackheads can do...

I didn't notice how 2009 passed by me...

2010-01-02T21:46:00.000+02:00

... I was too busy making out with 2010 :)

Another year has passed. I feel how I'm getting older and older. I don't enjoy it, but what can one do?!

2009 has been a really interesting year for me; I've accomplished a lot of things and I know that I've changed quite a bit. But for 2010 I want even more!

Thus, my 2010 resolutions are:
1. I am going to be more on my own, I won't count on people how I used to do, because that is why I feel people disappoint me.
2. I am going to focus on studying, I do want to get high marks in my exams.
3. I am going to have at least 10 minutes of sport activities daily - mainly rope jumping :P
4. I am going to read more.
5. I am going to lower the number of cigarettes I smoke daily - even if this is going to be done gradually.
6. I am going to write only in English or Chinese on my blog as I'm done talking about the BAC exam or Romanian politics.
7. I will work on being less shy.
8. I want to become a better person - OK, that's bullshit :)))

The New Year Eve Party was a succes - from my point of view - I had a lot of fun, and drank more Stroh than I usually could drink :P.

Well I'm off to skipping the rope and then reading Hamlet :P

Hope we all will have a hell of a year, better than 2009 and may we all be more calm and happy.

Cheers,
Andreea :)

What's the difference between peanut butter and jam?

2009-12-28T19:16:00.000+02:00

I can't peanut butter my dick up your ass, but I sure can jam it.

Asta a fost de departe cea mai buna gluma din How I Met Your Mother, pacat doar ca a trebuit s-o caut pe google ca sa aflu raspunsul :P. Apparently it was too offensive for ladies, pff :)) it's an awesome joke :D

Anyways... CUM sa pui beculete de Craciun sclipitoare, vesele si colorate pe geamurile serviciilor funerare. Am vazut anul acesta deja 3 magazine de servicii funerare cu beculete, dude!!! What's wrong with the world?! Oricine intra acolo in perioada asta, sigur NU simte spiritul Craciunului.

In alta ordine de idei, elicopterul pe care i l-am cumparat lui taicamiu de la targul de jucarii este... GENIAL?! E super fun si foarte tare :D.

A aparut noul patch de DOTA cu 2 eroi noi. Nu stiu ce sa fac, dar nu-mi prea vine sa mi-l instalez iar. E ca si cum abia as fi iesit de la reabilitare si ma apuc iar de baut... Hard choice nonetheless. Cred ca astept totusi sa vad daca trec de prima sesiune si abia apoi mai cantaresc pros & cons.

As dori sa ma las de fumat dar CUM? Am tot zis, gata, dupa Craciun, ma las. Dar vine Revelionul. Atunci ma las dupa Revelion. Dar vine sesiunea cu stresul ei cu tot. Dupa sesiune. Dar dupa sesiune cred ca ma duc prin Anglia la un pub crawl. Poate prin februarie desi cel mai probabil m-as apuca iar prin iunie inainte de cealalta sesiune. Uf. Macar sper sa pot sa le reduc dupa Revelion, treptat, treptat...

PS: I've had a really nice catch up with an old friend of mine xxx :))

Well, that's all for today. Creierul imi este imbibat in ganduri.

Totusi, sarbatori fercite everyone!

Diverse

2009-12-22T03:09:00.000+02:00

Am intrat in vacanta which feels nice, mi-am revazut 3 dintre prietenii intorsi din Anglia pentru sarbatori dar am uitat sa va spun cateva lucruri.

Acum vreo... 3 saptamani am fost la targul de jucarii which was awesome! Am gasit multe jucarii foarte tari dar dintre ele s-a afirmat urmatoarea:

Isn't that just wonderful?! Ma rog... Nu pentru oameni care pot avea animale reale ci pentru cei cu copii mici sau cu alergii mi se pare o idee foarte tare.

I-am cumparat lui taicamiu un gandac robotizat care reactioneaza ca un gandac, un elicopter care zboara si lui maicamea o papusa de portelan foarte frumoasa pentru Craciun.

For more infos check out Smart Toys (this was just one of the stores there).

Iar acum vreo... saptamana mi-au castrat catelul pentru ca altfel ar fi facut cancer :(. Dar acum e bine, thank God.

And news:

1. Am mai pictat un pic but it kinda bores me out. :P
2. Am fost la IMAX la Avatar, un film foarte tare, but gosh 3D is tiring. Plus the new mall is like HUGE.
3. Ma uit de vreo 3 zile intruna la How I Met Your Mother. Not that I like it THAT much but it's really cold outside.
4. Nu mi-am mai repetat la chineza. :(
5. Mircea Badea a dus la capat pariul :D

2009-12-16T16:29:00.000+02:00

De dimineata am refuzat sa ma trezesc pentru ca aveam un vis atat de frumos; culmea e ca nu sunt singura care astazi nu s-a trezit pentru a-si continua visul, just that I remember mine >:).

Se facea ca eram in alta tara cu fratimiu si taicamiu. Fratimiu nu mai era un ordinary DJ ci un DJ subacvatic :). Ne duseseram in acea tara pentru a vedea un alt DJ subacvativ foarte cunoscut si foarte tare. El era negru si avea un frate mai mic de 20 de ani. Intre noi inchepuse sa se infiripe o relatie, care insa s-a sfarsit subit in momentul in care mi-a sunat telefonul. M-am culcat la loc si culmea, visul a continuat doar ca aparuse si maicasa care ne fixa cu privirea si cei 2 frati mai mici de 10-12 ani care fumau iarba. :)))

Dragut vis, nu? :)))

In alta ordine de idei, nici luni nici azi nu m-am trezit sa ma duc la facultate si nu s-au facut cursurile cu prezenta oligatorie :D lucky me.

In alta ordine de idei, m-am apucat de pictat, muhaha! Ceea ce initial a fost un mod de a ma relaxa, au aparut diverse posibilitati in privinta acestor desene. Avand in vedere ca un desen de genul, se face in 20 de minute:

1. As putea sa fac vreo 10 000 si sa intru in Guinness book of Records.
2. As putea sa fac un dictionar pentru caractere chinezesti.
3. As putea face un foc mare.

In orice caz, cei care au votat sa-mi sterg blogul sper ca vor realiza ce talent innascut sunt si ca in curand voi fi recunoscuta drept o adevarata artista.

Sper sa votati si in cele 2 poll-uri noi :)

PS: Acum am observat ca picturile mele n-au urechi. Pe de alta parte n-au nici ochi, nas sau gura deci suntem in regula :)))

Yey, I've just reinstalled my Windows with the new Windows 7. Haven't had much time to test it, but I think we'll get along well. Especially since I also installed Chinese Language Pack muahuahauha.

我很喜欢 Windows7。<3

I can now add a knew tag to my posts: chinese written post muahaha :D

Btw, Lady Gaga kicks ass:

And also Russel from SYTYCD:

Politics

I piss on politics but I'm glad to know that most of my so-called readers voted or would've voted with Antonescu.

Movies

I piss on movies, cause they only leave you desiring things you can't have.

TV Shows

I piss on So You Think You Can Dance cause I'll never be able to dance like him:

And yes, I know, he's a guy, but still.

Music

I piss on music cause... well, ok, I dont piss on music :D.

Chinese
I piss on chinese stuff, cause I can't seem to find a proper video/audio recording of a song I learned in class. And also because I like their language but that's about it. I realized I dont have so many things in common with... their lifestyle or their thinking or their anything.

Games
I would've pissed on games too, but since I'm not playing anything anymore... Tough luck.

Christmas

I piss on Christmas cause it only makes me think of time passing too fast and thus I always become depressed in this period of the year. True that on New Year's Eve everything is heading back to normal, but still.

Youtube

I piss on Youtube because every moron on this fucking planet is able to record himself and post himself on the Internet, mostly talking about the stupidest of things and when I'm looking for something really or pretty important I can't seem to be finding it, because of all the space morons occupy. And I know you might be thinking "Hey, but that's exactly what you do!". Okay, BUT AT LEAST I DON'T NAME MY POSTS other things than they are just for the fucking traffic. Just check out Youtube and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Transport in comun

OHOHOHO. Aici e aici.

1. Nu suport oamenii care nu asteapta ca lumea sa coboare si abia apoi sa urce in autobuz, tramvai, metrou. [am mai scris de asta in primul post]
2. Nu suport oamenii care se aseaza pe locul dinspre aisle in loc de cel de la geam. DE CE? DE CE SA FACI ASTA? Mai ales daca mergi multe statii, asezati-va domne la geam, mai ales daca e aglomerat. Lumea se aseaza frumos pe acel loc, iar daca autobuzul este foarte aglomerat nu are NIMENI cum sa ocupe acel loc. DE AIA ajunge asa aglomerat cacatul de autobuz. Prefer tramvaiul, macar nu are problema asta, pentru ca e conceput doar cu cate un scaun pe fiecare parte, JESUS.
3. Nu suport oamenii care se uita urat la mine ca nu dau locul personelor in varsta. Well, nu-s nesimtita. Il dau. Dar nu il dau in momentul in care mai sunt 3 locuri libere in autobuz. Ce, tre sa stea fix pe locul unde stau eu? De ce sa ma ridic si sa ma mut eu, in loc sa se duca acea persoana pe locul neocupat? Nu e ca si cand ar merge 70 de metri sa ajunga la el, for pete's sake.

Romania

I piss on Romania because I can.

PS: Funny fact: Am pus polul curent in acelasi timp cu acest post plin de ura :))

Politica

N-a iesit Antonescu, shit happens, dar eu nu votez cu Basescu in turul 2. :)

Filme

Pandorum - Era 5 dimineata cand l-am vazut si mi s-a parut cam boring dar nu puteam sa adorm deci probabil nu merita vazut.

Samson & Delilah - OMG. Nu stiu cum am rezistat sa ma uit la el. Nu se vorbea aproape deloc si nici actiunea nu era prea... captivanta. Pur si simplu ma uitam asteptand sa se intample CEVA la un moment dat. Dar s-a terminat filmul.

Harry Brown - Eh, de la no action am trecut la slow action. Basically, un mosulica britanic incearca sa-si razbune amicul omorat de o gasca de tineri. A fost decent filmul. Actorul ala a jucat si in alte filme okay, dar niciunul extraordinar, as far as I remember.

Bandslam - Pentru ca sezonul 4 din Skins intarzie sa apara, mi s-a facut dor de un film cu adolescenti. And that's what I got. Twas funny at moments, not so much though.

Extract - Un film regizat de cel care a facut si Office Space. Mi-a placut mai mult Office Space asta a fost cam previzibil si plictisitor.

My One And Only - Asta chiar mi-a placut dar vreau sa ajung mai repede la SYTYCD so just see it for yourselves :D.

TV Shows

Ma tot uit la So You Think You Can Dance si este absolut genial! Looky:

Wasn't that just purely genious? <3 Cu ocazia acestui show am realizat cat de mult mi-ar fi placut sa dansez si nu ma refer la balet. That wasn't for me. Mi-ar fi placut ceva contemporan... Oh well, maybe in my future life. Acum deja mi-e greu sa ma las de fumat si am un inceput de scolioza, so bye bye dancing. Poate o sa ma apuc asa, amatoriceste. Gonna think about it.

Music

Ador piesa St Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart, melodie recomandata de Modelu <3. O ascult non stop. Din pacate nu va pot oferi un link de Youtube pentru ca imi merge netul foarte greu but I'm sure you'll manage, if you really want to listen to it.

Facultate

Da, si a fost si balul bobocilor. S-a tinut in Turabo si a fost super full. Sincer, mult prea full pentru a te putea distra. Ma bucur ca Miss a iesit o colega de-a mea <3 si ca si celalalt coleg de-al meu care a participat la Mister a luat ceva: Mister Popularitate, desi poate merita mai mult *thinking*. Suie au cantat bine, fun dar dupa ce au terminat a fost cam boring. Afterparty-ul s-a tinut la un coleg de-al meu care are apartamentul fffff tare :D.

Chineza

Tot trebuie sa imi pun a 3 a limba la windows chineza, sa pot sa scriu si eu... dar nici nu stiu cum si imi e si cam lene :).

Alcohol & weed discussions bring people together. Not only on Facebook though :P

Votat 2009

2009-11-22T18:56:00.000+02:00

Este drept ca ultima confruntare intre cei 3 candidati preferati la presedentie nu l-a scos castigator detasat pe niciunul dintre ei, fiecare facand niste greseli imense:

Basescu: fapta sa buna este ca a crestinat un musulman. WHAT?!
Geoana: fapta sa buna este ca nu a dat-o afara din casa pe soacra sa. WHAT?!
Antonescu: modelul sau moral este Tudor Chirila. WHAT?!

Totusi, eu voi vota cu Antonescu pentru ca este cel mai bun dintre cei rai si chiar cred ca ne va fi mai bine cu el presedinte.

Postul acesta l-am scris, de fapt si de drept, doar ca sa rog pe toti cei care ar vota cu Antonescu dar nu considera ca are sanse, prin urmare nu se duc la vot, SA SE DUCA LA VOT! Atat.

Sa ne amuzam un pic:

Politica

In ultima vreme am asistat la diverse discutii despre politica, eu neavand nici cea mai mica treaba cu asa ceva. Totusi, in urma unei petreceri unde s-a discutat multa politica, m-am uitat la stiri si am vazut confruntarea dintre Antonescu si Basescu. Astfel am ajuns sa stiu cu cine votez si sa imi doresc sa iasa cineva presedinte. Pai cum sa iasa presedinte Basescu care s-a luat de sotia moarta a celuilalt candidat sau cel care nici nu a vrut sa participe la confruntare? Daca nu ati vazut confruntarea inca, ar trebui sa o urmariti!

Filme

In afara de serialele pe care le urmaresc [Lie To Me, Californication, South Park si The Office] de care nu trebuie sa mai mentionez cat de mult imi plac - desi SP se duce incet incet de rapa dar ramane un clasic, am mai urmarit si cateva filme printre care pot mentiona:

Bruno - Eu nu stiu de ce s-a plans atata lume de el. Ce e drept, am ras mai putin decat la Borat, DAR la unele faze era sa cad de pe scaun de ras [spoilers: faza de la mediumul acela, faza din emisiune cu OJ, etc etc]. Apropo, imi pare rau ca trebuie sa ma repet dar glumele din Bruno nu au fost regizate. Adica au fost, dar numai el stia asta; spre exemplu in emisiunea cu negri, ei habar nu aveau ca totul era o caterinca, ei chiar credeau ca exista acel om care a trade-uit copilul negru pe un Ipod. Acum... depinde si de umorul fiecaruia; pun pariu ca 90% dintre prietenii mei nu s-ar amuza niciun pic la The Office iar eu una il ador.

Written By - Este filmul chinezesc de care va spuneam in postul trecut. A fost simpatic, dar nu exceptional. Este vorba de niste persoane care se hotarasc sa isi rescrie viata in functie de cum vor ei, iar la un moment dat devine foarte confuzant nestiind care e realitatea si care e povestea. Entertaining, but not enough. Fata de filmele japoneze sau coreene pot afirma cu tarie ca filmele chinezesti nu exceleaza - sau poate nu am vazut ce trebuie dar oricum voi continua sa le urmaresc.

2012 - Vesnica poveste despre cum vine apocalipsa in 2012 si vom muri cu totii. Efectele au fost foarte tari, mai ales la inceput, dar filmul e putin cam lung si cam melodramatic. Bine, eu nu suport sa vad cum plang atat unii dupa altii dar probabil ca in locul lor as face la fel. Totusi ma asteptam la mai multa actiune si mai putine sentimente. De vazut merita oricum.

Orphan - Imi placea mult posterul din vara si cand am vazut ca a aparut chiar m-am bucurat si m-am uitat la el cu entuziasm. Poate din cauza aia mi-a si placut atat de mult. Ideea a fost ca nu ma asteptam ca povestea sa decurga asa si m-a luat prin surprindere. Nu e nici asta un film exceptional - bine, niciunul nu va mai fi un film exceptional, asta dupa ce am vazut Inglorious Basterds - dar merita incercat.

Am prins odata si Burn After Reading la HBO, pe care evident eu l-am vazut cand a aparut, dar era prea tare sa nu-l revad. Dupa filmul asta si Inglorious Basterds am inceput sa-l apreciez pe Brad Pitt ca actor. Inainte nu prea ma incanta.

Am pierdut maratonul de filme horror dar vineri ma voi duce la maratonul de comedii la Plaza. Cel mai probabil sunt comedii foarte proaste dar probabil vom fi toti intr-o atmosfera buna sa ne amuzam oricum.

Muzica

Am regasit un videoclip pe care il ador:

Jocuri

Nu m-am mai jucat DOTA de vreo 2 saptamani pentru ca am fost 'banata de system' si mi-e lene sa le dau mail; of course i'm innocent, am doar virusi, nu hack-uri.

In schimb m-am mai jucat ocazional poker in Poker Club si intr-una din dati am iesit chiar pe locul 5 din 70^^.

Facultate

Balul este pe 26 noiembrie in Turabo si ne vor canta Suie Paparude si inca niste DJ pe care nu cred ca ii cunosc nici macar organizatorii :))). Cine vrea sa vina, just lemme know.

Gorillaz FTL

2009-11-08T00:40:00.000+02:00

Mi-am mai adaugat o formatie la lista concertelor la care am fost, mai exact una dintre formatiile mele preferate: Gorillaz.

Doar ca nu a fost ce ma asteptam. A fost Gorillaz Soundsystem adica vreo 2 dj din trupa si vreo 2 tobosari. Proiectiile nu s-au ridicat nici ele la asteptarile mele.

Dar sa incepem cu inceputul. Am ajuns pe la 23:30 la Sala Polivalenta unde nu era coada deloc la bilete in schimb era o coada imensa la invitatii. Cum eram trecuta pe lista, am stat la acea coada imensa vreo jumatate de ora. Concertul Gorillaz a inceput pe la 12 fara 15, eu am intrat abia pe la 12. Am prins vreo 2-3 piese cunoscute: Last Living Souls, Clint Eastwood si inca una dar apoi oamenii au trecut la a mixaaaaa nimic altceva decat Madonna, Eric Prydz si Black Eyed Peas. CUM? DECI CUUUM?! M-am dus asteptandu-ma sa aud niste muzica underground si dau de Call On Me a lui Eric Prydz. Dezamagitor. Iar proiectiile au fost parti din videoclipuri si niste negri pusi pe repeat. Dezamagitor.

Apoi a intrat si Underworld care canta okey dar scena arata oribil. Se vedeau 4 monitoare gigantice si tot felul de alte instrumente si langa toate acestea era un tip cu o geaca argintie plina de sclipici care mai avea si miscari disco totul pe fundal de techno. Spre final a fost mai okey, atat proiectiile cat si muzica dar nu m-a dat pe spate.

Pe Dubfire nu l-am mai ascultat, m-am dus sa beau :)).

In alta ordine de idei, am ajuns sa ador chinezaaa! Nu stiu cum sau de ce dar imi place mult <3. Poate si pentru ca am luat singurul 10 din grupa?! No idea, dar imi place mult si asta conteaza. De engleza insa nu-s prea incantata... Fac fonetica si la literatura IAR Shakespear. M-am plictisit de el si prefer sa desenez niste semne la chineza decat sa citesc iar Hamlet si Macbeth. Ma rog...

Ma pun sa ma uit la un film chinezesc - Written By, can't wait <3.

I have no time to waste, unless I want to waste some of my sleeping time, which I don't.

I just wanted to recommend you 2 movies:

1. Mary & Max, a really cute animation that's featured in the Anim'est 2009 animation festival.

2. Inglorious Basterds, a movie about the war against the Nazis directed by Quentin Tarantino that festures some greaaat actors and a great story! It's definetely a must-see!

I must go now, an episode of Hung awaits me.

First Day <3

2009-10-01T23:43:00.000+03:00

Siii am inceput facultatea. Cel putin teoretic. Practic, incep de luni :D.

M-am dus la universitate, amfiteatrul cu deschiderea era full, prin urmare am preferat sa vorbesc cu un japonez. Discutia a fost ceva de genul:

- Scuza-ma, sper sa nu te superi dar... esti japonez sau chinez ca eu nu prea fac diferenta?
- Japonez.
- Aw, ok, credeam ca vom fi colegi. Oricum o sa fi cel mai bun de la tine din grupa, ma gandesc.
- Aa... da.
- Stii ca vine Hayao Miyazaki in Romania? :D
- Da? Tare. Cu ce ocazie?
- La Anim'est.
Bla bla.
- Da. Auzi dar tu la ce esti?
- Rusa-spaniola.
- Aaaaaa, atunci scuze, n-o sa mai fi cel mai bun, credeam ca esti la japoneza :)))))

Hehe, sincer nu ma asteptam. Era cam inutil totusi sa fie la japoneza, dar RUSA - SPANIOLA? Incepuse sa stie si romana, banuiesc ca stie si engleza, deci tipul e cam tare asa. 5 limbi *whistling*

Apoi m-am dus si la intalnirea de la chineza, nu suntem 25 pana la urma, ci 35 si nu avem niciun chinez *awkward*. La aceasta intalnire am aflat si de evenimentul de la deschidere. Aparent, profii care ne vorbeau la deschidere incepusera sa analizeze propozitii si fraze si o tipa mai tupeista s-a ridicat si le-a spus ca nu considera necesar sa faca analiza unei propozitii la deschidere, si ca mai degraba ne-ar ajuta sa aflam de burse si oportunitati; mai ales ca erau in sala persoane de la toate limbile straine. Nu le-a picat prea bine profilor, deja se auzise in toata facultatea de ea. Cred ca n-o s-o duca prea bine tipa :-s.

2 saptamani vom face CANTO. Da, ati citit bine. Voi face canto la chineza. N-am voce deloc, si habar n-am sa cant, deci nu mi-a picat mie prea bine. Oricum e logic ca facem si canto, avand in vedere cele 5 tonalitati/tonuri pe care le folosesc chinezii in vorbire, deci poate cu ocazia asta devin si eu mai buna la accente, imitat si altele. Nonetheless, I'm eager to start.

O sa fie cam greu, va trebui sa renunt la cateva dota - which is actually nice, prea ma jucam eu. Sunt multe semne... 21 000 :)). Bine... doar 12 000 se folosesc mai frecvent :P. Dar e bine ca se tin de capul nostru cu teme si teste. In plus, am o profa care nu vorbeste nici macar engleza bine, deci sunt obligata sa invat chineza cat mai repede ca sa o pot intelege :)).

Problema aparent nu e chineza, pentru ca teoretic o sa fim ca in clasa 1. Cu betigase, si desenase, si patratele. In schimb, cica la engleza e destul de greu. Nu pot sa-mi inchipui cat de greu poate sa fie... insa voi vedea eu curand.

Anyways, mi-e somn, m-am plimbat mai toata ziua, insa inainte sa joc o dota si sa ma culc, vreau sa va mai recomand 2 filme si sa va informez in legatura cu Anim'est-ul.

District 9 si Gamer. Sunt prea obosita sa fac niste review-uri ca lumea insa daca nu aveti incredere deplina in gusturile mele, mai cititi cate ceva despre ele. Eu zic totusi ca merita, mie una mi-au placut mult: sunt inovative, antrenante si... SF.

Cat despre Anim'est-ul de anul asta... Ii va avea invitati pe producatorii serialului South Park: Trey Parker & Matt Stone si de asemenea pe *drums* Hayao Miyazaki, regizorul unor animatii de lung metraj superbe printre care pot numi: Spirited Away, Tonari no Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke si Pony on the Cliff.

Cine imi poate recomanda niste filme chinezesti bune? As aprecia, vreau sa fiu cat mai la curent cu tot ce are legatura cu China, si sincer, la capitolul filme, nu stiu de unde sa incep.

Cheers.

In asteptarea...

2009-09-28T15:42:00.000+03:00

... inceperii facultatii.

M-am plictisit de mor. Astfel abia astept sa inceapa facultatea. Cate dota sa ma mai joc?! Cate filme si seriale sa mai vad?! CAT SA MAI PETREC?! :))

Revenind. M-am plictisit. Prin urmare am inceput sa observ cele mai inutile chestii.

Spre exemplu... Campania Hochland 8 triunghiuri la pret de 7. Sa mori tu! Ca n-o fi acelasi diametru si aceeasi cantitat... Dar na, recunosc, cand oamenii's prosti, profiti de ei :)).

De asemenea, eu inteleg ca Universitatea Ecologica n-are nicio treaba cu limba romana, dar mi se pare de bun simt sa se numeasca Universitatea de Ecologie.

Magazinasul numit Alex Calm de pe coltul unei strazi mi s-a parut initial ca are un nume tembel, insa... analizand situatia, era un nume mai mult decat potrivit. Magazinul era intr-o intersectie si practic aproape oriunde stateai vedeai magazinul si era ca o indemnare de "Stai calm in trafic". Sau poate am eu prea multa imaginatie si n-am ce sa fac cu ea.

Sunt socata de cate afise cu House MD si Californication sunt prin oras dar ma bucura aceasta schimbare. AXN, keep up the good work!

La ping-pong zilele trecute, prietenii mei au inventat un nou joc numit Betminpong. Se joaca partial cu masa si partial cu aerul, pentru cui nu i se pare destul de evident :P.

Iar astazi, ca sa intelegeti cat de rau ma pot plictisi - mai ales de cand mi s-a reglat programul de somn si am castigat vreo 4 ore de activitati... AM GATIT. Am facut spaghete si am pus tot ce mi-a trecut prin cap gen niste bulion, niste carne, niste legume, niste condimente, nu mai tin minte exact ce dar au iesit foarte bune. Sau doar mi-era mie prea foame. Poate scriu si-o reteta... cand mi-oi aminti ingredientele *whistling*.

In legatura cu filmele pe care le-am vazut in ultima vreme am de spus un singur lucru. Ma plictiseam rau de am rezistat sa ma uit la ele. Insa, am gasit si cateva filme acceptabile printre care pot enumera: Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, The Boat That Rocked, Grace, Factory Girl, World's Greatest Dad, Monsters vs. Aliens si cel mai dubios film de la Oldboy incoace: Mum & Dad.

Final Destination 3D sucked ass. Predictable & unoriginal.

In continuarea plictiselii mele ma voi apuca sa fac niste roboti din pachete de tigari, ma voi mai uita la cateva filme proaste si imi voi prelungi goldmembership-ul de la Garena.

PS: Facebook kicks ass :D
PPS: A aparut noul sezon din Californication.
PPPS: OPRITI-VA DIN A-MI TRIMITE ANIMATED ROSES PE MAIL!

Cheers.

Sur meli et sur teli '09

2009-09-15T16:09:00.000+03:00

Sooooo... I didn't crash! And it was by far the best holiday I've ever had.

Before leaving everyone was like "Don't go with your parents, it's going to suck so badly!" but I didn't listen to them. And I'm really glad I didn't.

I stayed for one week at the Surmeli hotel in Kusadasi in which I've lived more than I've ever lived in my whole life. I met a lot of cool people from England, Holland, Belgium, Iran and of course Turkey, I swum all day in like 3 different pools, I talked with all sorts of weird people, I laughed, I danced, I played a lot of ping pong, darts and archery, I went jet ski-ing, scuba diving, parasailing, I went clubbing in Kusadasi, I also had time to get a beautiful tan, I had a lot of massages and turkish baths and I went on my own almost everywhere...

After all these I felt as if it was nothing more I could do to make it THE best holiday. But on the last night, the animation team had put me down on the 'Best Couple' competition with Mike, an English guy, even though we didn't want to. Thus, I also got on stage and had to do a lot of stuff I didn't think I could EVER do in front of so many people. After the show, people I didn't talked to before were calling me "Miss Romania" in the hotel *blush*.

Every British person I've talked to told me that I speak really well english and one Irish girl even asked me from which part of England I am. Another 3 British girls kept telling me that I'm really smart and when they found out that I am going to study Chinese... Well that was the Chinese drop for them, hehe.

Regarding the water sports I have done, jet ski-ing is really fun. I kept asking what speed we were going with, but all he understood was "SPEED? you want speed?!" and VRRRRRUMMMMM there we went haha. Then he let me drive it and I was like crazy, I kept speeding and speeding and water kept splashing around us, great times. He said I'm a really crazy driver :D.

Then I went scuba diving in another hotel by myself. I met the guy I went scuba diving 3 years ago and he recognized me immediately and another guy who had seen me the night before in a club in Kuasadasi - really now, what were the odds?. They started explaining me how to breathe under water and I was like "I know, I know that, I know that too, let's just dive already!!". I went 10 metres deep, I saw an octopus *love* and made fun with Jenky about fish smoking and drinking when we saw a packet of cigars and a bottle of alcohol under water. When we got out he was amazed how quickly I had learnt so he told me that I can get a license in proffesional scuba diving in no more than 3 days and I'll be able to reach the reef point - at 18 metres. I didn't have time to take it this year, but next year I'm surely going to.

That same day I was sooooo excited about my scuba diving trip that I also went parasailing. That guy was totally hiting on me in front of my father :)) and before I got up, he told me that because I weigh so little - 35 kilos - I'm going to get higher than the others. And I did. I was above everything. The boat had 1 cm from where I was hanging :D. The weather was beautiful, it was really sunny and it was an amazing view. However, I'm quite afraid of heights so I didn't move at all. I was really scared of not falling or anything, cause about 100 metres high is quite... high!

I'm upset I didn't go with the Big Mable or the Speedy, but these are more fun if you're with friends so... I'm going to try it next year.

And another fact I loved in Turkey is that people usually gave me 19 20 years, while some romanians from there asked me if I was 12, even after the BEST COUPLE show.

I could have stayed there 6 months without missing the people around here, my computer or anything related to Romania - besides my family, friends, my dog and my cat.

All in all, it was a gorgeous holiday and I have changed quite a lot. I'm seeing everything differently. I'm going to take dancing classes, I'm going to volunteer to a lot more stuff, maybe get a job too, basically I'm going to stay less on my computer and just wander around. I'm also going to smile idiotically at everyone and everything, be more relaxed and do whatever I feel like doing - not that I didn't do this before, but now I'm talking of a different extent :P.

Anyway, I'm going to post some photos, hope you'll enjoy them, as much as I enjoyed my holiday. Oh, wait, you can't :P.

Maman & papa

Yunus, the listening to techno photographer :D

Part of the animation team: Tayfun, Kevin, me, Murat & John
The rest of them were Paris, the daily sportif, Jamal, the presentator, Katie aka Pink Lady aka The Joker, Iulia, the russian girl, the dj from Mozambic, the animation crew manager - sorry didn't quite catch his name and there were some more but unfortunately I didn't got to talking to them.

This old man was soooo cute to me. He gave me all sorts of stuff, like chocolate, turkish artifacts and face creams when I was burnt. Before I left, I took this photo with him and he gave me his adress to send it to him :). He also told me that he had a dream about me and that I'll be really happy. He also knew how to read in coffee. So many nice people in Turkey...

My face states: I'M SO HAPPY!

Next year I'm definitely going to Turkey again, but not for less than 2 weeks! I suggest everyone to go to Turkey - for either relaxing, or having fun this is one of the greatest places. I'm totally in love with the turkish eye and the turkish nargile and the turkish tea and the turkish waiters and the turkish sand and the turkish people and the turkish atmosphere... and the turkish everything!

Apparently this word seems 'too pornographic' by one of the characters in a series I started watching recently, Dead Like Me. It doesn't seem that pornographic, does it? *wondering*

Anyways, because I care so so much about y'all, before I'm leaving Bucharest I'm gonna suggest you the coolest porno movie EVER. I mean, how could I swim all day long, smoke opium-aromated nargile and go scuba diving when I know you all are so depressed and sad?!

The Fashionistas. CD4. Awesome shit! It features Belladonna and Rocco Siffredi, what more could you ask for?! :P

Rocco Siffredi has a huge dick and Belladonna has the perfect face for a blowjob, or so states my brother. Anyways, I don't know if Belladonna's face is such a perfect face for a head, however what I do know is that she has a gorgeous atletic body and I'm pretty sure she had taken some gimnastics classes before becoming a porn star. If not, if she's just born that way... WOW.

I hope you'll enjoy it!

PS: I hope I won't crash :-s.

The Mild Cigar

2009-09-03T04:04:00.001+03:00

I was just about to quit smoking but I decided to just switch to Hamlet the moment I saw this:

... as opposed to this shit right here:

While I was watching some commercials I also came across this one, which is quite funny :)

And don't forget: Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet. The mild cigar.

PS: I wasn't 'just about to quit smoking' but it sounded nice.

Tru Blood

2009-08-28T22:25:00.001+03:00

When you came in, the air went out
And every shadow, filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you.

I'm the kind who sit up in his room
Heart-sick and eyes filled up with blue
I don't know what you've done to me
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you. Okay.

Gorgeous intro, great show.

Sunday School

2009-08-20T13:46:00.000+03:00

Little Mary was not the best student in Sunday School. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping ''Tell me, Mary, who created the universe?''.

When Mary didn't stir, little Johnny, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. ''God Almighty!'' shouted Mary and the teacher said ''Very good'' and Mary fell back to sleep.

A while later the teacher asked Mary ''Who is our Lord and Savior?''. But Mary didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. ''Jesus Christ!'' shouted Mary and the teacher said ''Very good'' and Mary fell back to sleep.

Then the teacher asked Mary a third question ''What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?''. And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time Mary jumped up and shouted, ''If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!''

The Teacher fainted.

19 cai situati in 19 hambare se pregateau pentru 19 concursuri unde aveau sa castige 19 premii in valoare de 19 mii de euro iar cele 19 hambare erau pline cu 19 sobolani si fiecare din cei 19 sobolani din cele 19 hambare aveau 19 ascunzisuri. Cei 19 sobolani formau 19 aliante prin care conveneau ca din cei 19 cai sa nu castige niciunul. Cei 19 sobolani aveau sa formeze ei insisi un cal si sa castige ei cele 19 premii in valoare de 19 mii de euro pe care aveau sa-i cheltuiasca pe 19 roti gigantice de cascaval. Aceste 19 rotite de cascaval erau unice si fusesera placate cu aur de 19 carate de 19 bucatari foarte cunoscuti.

Si in casa mea exista 19 sobolani si chiar si ei au auzit de aceste 19 rotite de cascaval. Le-am promis ca atunci cand implinesc 19 ani sa le cumpar eu pentru ei...

... insa voi da banii pe 19 beri la Sirnaville.

Cheers.

Discutii.

Dupa 4 zile de cand m-am intors.

Maicamea: La ce hotel ai stat cand ai fost ma la mare ca s-a mirat X ca nu stiu?
Eu: Principal. Pe strada Principala.
M: Si de ce nu mi-ai spus?
E: Pentru ca nu m-ai intrebat.
M: Pai nu e normal cand spui ca pleci la mare sa imi spui si hotelul?
E: Nu neaparat. Oricum daca te interesa puteai sa ma intrebi.
M: Trebuia sa-mi spui.
E: Trebuia sa ma intrebi.

JESUS FUCK.

Fratimiu: Maicata e criminala. I-am spus ca vreau sa mananc ananas si m-a intrebat "Da' merele nu-ti mai plac?". Apoi, dupa cateva zile a ajuns la concluzia ca ananasul e un fel de pepene. Dar s-a razgandit repede, analizandu-l mai bine si a ajuns la concluzia ca e ca un cactus.
Gasca: N-a zis si ca e un strugure mare si belit?
Fratimiu: Iar ultima descoperire e ca ananasul e ca o nuca de cocos. De ce nu poate ananasul sa fie DOAR ananas?

Mare 2009

2009-08-11T03:43:00.000+03:00

M-am dus pulii de suflet pentru 4 zile si 3 nopti. Adica la mare, in Romania, in Costinesti. Proasta decizie.

SPOILER
Stiu ca o sa-mi sara multa lume in cap pentru acest post, dar sa
stiti ca e opinia mea sincera si daca nu va convine... nu mai cititi.

Prima zi a fost ok pentru ca ne-am dus sa facem plaja in Neptun unde era destul de liber, data fiind si ora la care ne-am dus. Dar de seara mi s-a futut tot. Am acceptat sa mergem in MEGA DISCOTECA TINERETULUI gandindu-ma ca nu poate sa fie chiar asa rau dar uitand cat sunt de pretentioasa la muzica si in ce tara traim. Nu pot descrie cat de cacat a putut fi. Era plin de cocalari prosti cu care mi-am testat moaca de "Ce pula mea vrei de la mine?!", ala de la Hi-Q urla pe scena ca ultimul manelist iar muzica nici nu am cum s-o descriu la cat de proasta era. Au pus niste Prodigy si Daft Punk [SOC] dar m-am lamurit repede ce era cu ele: erau remixate intr-un mod atat de cocalaresc incat mi-era rusine. Poluare fonica. Poluare vizuala. MEGA POLUARE ar trebui sa se numeasca acel loc.

Ma rugam sa vina Grasu XXL mai repede pe scena, daca e posibil. Mi-a trebuit mult whiskey ca sa rezist pentru ca Grasu a cantat abia pe la 4 si ceva. Mi-a placut modul in care a intrat "Buna seara domnisoarelor, domnilor si curvelor", moment in care toata lumea a urlat de bucurie. Wow, fa, te-a facut curva, hai sa-l adoram. Desteptele pulii. N-am nimic cu Grasu: isi permite, face. Am ceva cu fanii lui si a lui Puya pentru ca se cred cool ca fumeaza la fel de multa iarba ca ei si zic "Ia uite ma, nici Puya n-are bani.", dar nu realizeaza ca ei nu fac nimic cu viata pe cand Grasu are deja 3 videoclipuri [sau cate o avea], iar de Puya nu mai zic.

A doua zi am cautat vreo ora juma loc pe plaja pentru ca era PLIN. Tot de cocalari evident. M-am pus pe prosop cu castile in urechi imaginandu-mi ca-s in alt loc. Mi-am selectat eu Fatboy Slim - The Journey, lasandu-l apoi pe shuffle si mobilul m-a lovit rau de tot, parca zicandu-mi "Na ma, ai vrut tu la mare in Romania, ia d-aici!" cu melodiile urmatoare:
- Modeselektor - Dancing Box
- Jahcoozi - Fish
- Metallica - St. Anger
- Cardigans - My Favourite Game
- Massive Attack - Karmacoma
- Soulwax - Teachers
- The Subways - Rock'n'Roll Queen
- Chemical Brothers - If you kling to me, I'll klong to you
- Soulwax - E-Talking
Eram mandra de Iphone-ul meu si am realizat ca e mobilul perfect. Apoi am hotarat sa ma duc in apa, mi-am dat jos o casca si am auzit 'UU lake lake, do it like a truck' moment in care mi-a cazut cerul in cap.

Seara am cazut de acord sa incercam in Gossip, 'Slava Domnului' mi-am zis. De unde?! A fost poate putin mai putin cocalaresc, dar tot cocalareala mare. Mixau aia de la Fly Project. La ce sa te astepti? M-a luat durerea de cap foarte rau asa ca ne-am culcat devreme.

A treia zi ne-am dus mai devreme pe plaja dar fiind sambata tot ne-am gasit un loc foarte greu; ne-am asezat aproape de mal pana la urma. Era plin de pietre si scoici la intrarea in apa si cand se terminau, apa era foarte adanca. Prin urmare, erau multi salvamari pe langa noi si cum eram arsa si nu mai vroiam sa stau la bronzat, am admirat salvamarii. Nu, nu neaparat la corp sau la cum aratau ci ca meserie. Mi se pare foarte demn ce fac si-mi par foarte interesanti.

Ne-am decis ca pentru ultima noapte sa ne luam masa in Gossip, macar sa am si eu unde sa stau sa ma joc pe mobil. Zis si facut. Doar ca ne-au rezervat o masa care era afara. Prin urmare am murit de frig si am fost nevoita sa merg si inauntru. Inauntru unde mixa Dj Rhino, unde erau majoritatea beti morti, toate pitzipoancele pe tocuri si, din nou, foarte multi cocalari. Printre ei am vazut si cel mai cocalar dintre cocalari: conversi cu cap de mort pe ei, pantaloni albi 3/4 mulati, camasa cu maneci lungi cu model de leopard si par lung prins in coada *vomit*.

Imaginati-va un club plin de cocalari odiosi cu maieuri mulate si pitzipoance imbracate sumar, toti pusi pe agatat, care dansau pe house-ul romanesc de proasta calitate care se auzea si in mijlocul lor... EU. Eu, fara tocuri. Eu, in blugi. Eu, cu un pulover verde fara nicio forma pe mine. Eu, 1.60 si 36 de kile. Eu, sictirita maxim. Imagine de film.

Au pus la un moment dat Michael Jackson - Beat It [spoiler macabru: in momentele alea ma bucuram ca a murit MJ ca sa aud si eu niste muzica buna...] si imediat dupa, Cypress Hill - Insane in the Brain. Deja lumea incepuse sa se moleseasca asa ca a revenit la o Inna, la ceva mai ok *face palm*. Dupa inca o perioada a pus unu Robbie Williams si Coldplay si iar se molesisera toti, nu mai aveau nicio reactie. A mers super bine un Pump It Up imediat dupa ca sa sara tot clubu' in aer si eu sa adorm in picioare. Mi se parea incredibil.

Ca sa nu mai mentionez toti cocalarii din mertane si slc-uri care ne claxonau si se tineau dupa noi... Super enervant. Si mai ales o cocalara anume care ne-a intrebat din masina "Singurele fetele? N-ati gasit si voi un baiat ceva sa va distrati?". Nu, proasto, pentru ca-s toti cocalari ca tine.

Atata prostie si cocalarime la un loc n-am mai vazut niciodata. Era incredibil de greu sa recunosti un om ok in multimea aia. Se pierdeau. Doar 2 tipi ok am cunoscut care ascultau Coldplay, Oasis, Muse, etc si care erau beti morti, probabil ca sa reziste; culmea astia ne-au si dus acasa in prima seara. Deh... oameni ok. Cert e ca are dreptate fratimiu... Oamenii de pe litoral sunt intr-un time bubble. Au ramas in urma cu totii. Traiesc in trecut. Mi-era dor de cocalarii de bucuresti <3.

This makes so much more sense now:

Daca petreceam mai mult timp pe acolo cred ca imi pierdeam orice fel de simt. Nu credeam c-o sa zic asta vreodata dar abia astept sa plec cu AI MEI in Turcia. Si trebuie sa ma gandesc foarte bine unde plec sau ce fac de ziua mea... ca sa nu mai dau rateu.

Plusuri pentru aceasta excursie:
- drumul cu trenul - necesita post separat
- hamsii
- inghetata
- bronz
- nisip si iarba
- alcool
- mare
- ca ne-am folosit nume false in cluburi si nu se prindeau cand ne strigam una pe alta pe numele adevarate ^^

Dar nu numai eu m-am dus pulii de suflet. Dupa-amiaza, cand o ardeam prin camera, nu aveam ce face decat sa ne uitam la TV. Eu am renuntat la televizor de ceva timp prin urmare am fost socata sa vad ca lumea se duce dracu: cutremure, crime, explozii, tornade in marea neagra, ploi torentiale, formarea unui nou lac sarat, smantana alterata [wtf?] si multe altele. Mi-e somn si m-am plictisit sa scriu, dar promit sa comentez stirile in postul urmator.

Inna - Stupid

2009-07-31T00:40:00.000+03:00

Deci aceasta este tipa pe care o adorati cu totii si ale carei piese sunt difuzate non-stop. Mi-am amintit de ce nu ma mai uit la televizor.

Nici daca ma chinui nu pot vorbi ca ea.

But do remember! If you see dead in your eyes when you leave the space of the accident, you can not do show.

PS: Dudes! E proasta. Muzica ei nu are cum sa fie altfel decat... proasta. It's not that hard...

Borat was so 2006.

2009-07-29T13:03:00.001+03:00

Iiiiiiii sunt ca o pisica in calduri; abia astept sa vad noul film al lui Sascha Cohen Baron. Omul este mult prea smart ca sa nu ne amuze. Din nou.

Pentru cei care nu stiu, Sascha Cohen Baron este tipul din spatele personajelor Ali G si Borat, prin care ironizeaza imbecilitatea umana, prostia omeneasca si cretinismul americanilor si nu numai - practic mi-e prea lene sa explic; urmariti, daca pricepeti foarte bine, daca nu, intorceti-va la cusut goblenuri. Si intr-un final, desi stiam si de acest al treilea personaj de ceva vreme, a aparut si filmul cu BRUNO zi ghei.

Trailerul il puteti viziona aici:

Filmul Ali G In Da House a fost regizat. Glumele erau regizate si celor carora li se faceau glumele stiau ca vor face parte dintr-un film. Sau erau chiar actori. Irelevant. In Borat in schimb, actori au fost doar 3: Sascha, Azazel ala cu care se plimba el si curva. Restu' erau pur si simplu oameni care credeau ca Borat e venit din Kazakhstan sa faca un cacat de documentar. De ce?

1. Pentru ca nu apar pe imdb.
2. Pentru ca scrie pe imdb.
3. Pentru ca asa e.

Acum... Ali G a fost okey, insa nu se poate compara cu Borat, dpdv al calitatii glumelor. Si sincer, din ce vad pe imdb e posibil ca Bruno sa nu fie de rangul lui Borat, ci sa ramana la nivelul lui Ali G In Da House. In orice caz, astept ceva mai bun decat CAM. E totusi Sascha Cohen Baron; indiferent de ce face in acest film va ramane in memoria mea cu faza cu "Cheese?" din supermarket. *laughing*

Trivia: Stiati ca SCB a terminat 2 facultati? :) Cuhuhute.

5 minutes later edit: It seems I have found the answer to my curiosity...

Is this scripted or in the same style as Borat?
This was filmed in essentially the same style as Borat. It was made in the same style (mixing interviews, pranks on the public and scripted scenes to create a narrative) and is also based on one of Sacha Baron Cohen's characters from Da Ali G Show.

... and the proof that I WAS RIGHT! Suck on that.

Aw and... parental guide?! :))))))

Pubic Hair Is Very Briefly Seen.

In close up and using CGI, a penis is shown to talk (Scene is Brief). In the Australian release this scene includes a non-pixilated penis both flapping up and down and spinning around in circles, both clockwise and anti-clockwise, before the penis points directly at the camera and talks.

A large bare breasted woman is shown to beat Bruno with a belt. She is also not wearing any panties but there is no explicit view of her genitalia.

Elefantu' mai face si curat.

2009-07-28T13:04:00.000+03:00

Da. Iar nu am putut sa adorm. Deja cand se lumineaza mi-e greu sa adorm. Totusi, nu pot adormi nici inainte sa se lumineze daca ma trezesc numai la 8 seara. Logic. Azi nu am mai suportat.

SPOILER

Daca cumva nu sunt coerenta, ma scuzati. Am fost hiperactiva, acum m-am molesit iar dupa a doua cafea voi deveni titirez, ca sa citez pe cineva.

M-am decis sa nu dorm - pentru a 50 a oara anul asta - deloc. Dar sa folosesc timpul... intr-un mod util. Cum ar fi sa-mi eliberez camera de tot ce inseamna liceu pentru ca nu o mai suport. Sunt foi aruncate peste tot, nu pot gasi nimic, sertarele pline ochi de caiete la gramada cu foi sau carti - si asta de vreo 3 luni incoace. Oribil. Nici chiar eu nu am mai putut suporta situatia asta :)).

Dar nu am vrut doar sa le arunc pe hol si sa zic "Ocupa-te tu!" ci sa le si filtrez, ordonez si asa mai departe. MUNCA DE SCLAV.

Nu imi vine sa cred cate foi, teme, teste am putut scrie doar la engleza. TONE. De vreo 3 ori mai multe decat testele de la majoritatea materiilor. Si asta doar foi. Ca mai am si vreo 30 de carti si 20 de caiete - aranjate frumos acum, slava Domnului - e alta treaba.

Cu ocazia asta totusi, mi-am rememorat multe din momentele petrecute in liceu. Mi-am gasit primul test din clasa a 9 a, de la engleza, la care am luat 5 *blush*. Am recitit unele din discutiile cu colegii mei din timpul orelor din diverse caiete. Am revazut desenele lui Florian de pe caiete - dintr-un catelus cute facuse un drac sau pe Tom si Jerry ii facusera drogati, punandu-le seringi in maini si joint-uri in gura, foarte bine realizate de altfel. Mi-am amintit de debate-ul nostru de la Human Rights pro/contra legalizarii prostitutiei - pe care l-am castigat, noi astia cu pro, avand chiar argumente bune - unde il aveam profesor pe americanul John (a carui nevasta a fost omorata de un urs cand erau in luna de miere in Carpati - RIP) sau cum ne invata englezoaica Claire de bauturi care sunt atat de tari incat iti poti smulge pielea de pe limba dupa ce le bei.

De asemenea am recitit cateva dintre temele de la engleza si am gasit o poveste scrisa de mine din clasa a 9 a sau a 10 a care inca imi place si o sa vi-o impartasesc si voua.

A Page out of my Diary

My wish became true. I still don’t know if it was a dream or not, because it all seemed real yet it was the queerest thing ever to happen to me. I went to the appointment, but I just wanted to see how far someone might go with a joke.

A huge man on a horse scared me to death. I started running but after a while I noticed that no one was following me anymore. I still had to find a place to hide in case that lunatic was still looking for me. In front of me there was a very tall wall of glass. It looked like it was a big aquarium, but the fish were missing and the water had bubbles of air in it. Although the wall was transparent no one could recognize me from behind because that large quantity of water was distorting me. I started looking for the corner but after a long while I returned to where I had left. Looking attentively in the back I saw the man on the horse again, but he was in the same place. I decided to go back and see why he doesn’t move. Wandering around it and checking it carefully it came to me that it was a toy. But why would someone make such a big toy? Who could ever play with it?

I tried to climb it to see what the view from the top was, but I couldn’t. That plastic material was glossy and it would have taken me ages to climb it, so I had to think of another way to go up. I saw a box near me. To read what it was written on it, I was forced to take two steps for every letter. I finally understood! I really was tiny! That box was a box of matches and we all know how small matches are. I finally climbed on the toy and what I had thought it was a big aquarium was actually a glass of sparkling water. Everything was very clear to me, yet I was shocked. I did not know what to do. I thought I might find someone to talk to. But thinking all those objects were at their regular sizes, my hopes disappeared at once.

I was endorsing the toy and still thinking what to do next to pass the day quicker and then I fell. The horse wasn’t there anymore. I started worrying about a huge human-being being able to crush me in less than one second. Looking back I saw a huge hand coming towards me and I suddenly found myself high in the air, having two enormous blue eyes staring at me. I cannot describe what I felt at that moment. They were so beautiful but this didn’t matter because children are so unforeseeable. I thought he would play with me, as he would have played with a toy, but he must have felt something because he started talking to me. His voice was difficult to distinguish and it sounded like I was at a rock concert with a broken sound system, but it was even harder when I had to talk. My neck was hurting after 10 minutes of yelling, but at least I explained to the boy what had happened to me and he seemed very excited about the story. He told me that he really wanted to present me to his parents but I was not that sure about the idea. My intuition was right… his parents had told him that tiny human beings did not exist and to leave them alone because they were in the middle of a conversation with their hosts. He was a bit confused, but seeing that I was so logical and that I could talk to him, he started explaining to his parents that I was real. I agree that he was a little annoying, but they could have spared me from being thrown along with the garbage!

It was very smelly but there was nothing to be done given that the garbage could not be crossed by a small thing like me. The smell became growingly worse so I preferred to take a nap.

When I woke up I saw a glass of water on my night table and I was sure that I had dreamt all of those weird things. But the moment I entered the living room I fainted! The little boy, his toy horse and his parents were visiting my mother.

Stiu ca nu e cine stie ce, insa sunt atasata cumva de ea. Imi amintesc chiar si lectia la care am avut tema asta: Gulliver :P.

In orice caz, nu am terminat inca cu ordinea. Asta a fost doar o mica parte. Vreau sa scap de tot ce este la suprafata. E mult prea aglomerata camera mea si simt cum ma oboseste - bine, sincer, cred ca ma oboseste faptul ca nu dorm dar shhht.

Ma intorc la munca de sclav.

Later edit:

Am fost destul de productiva in ciuda somnului care m-a acaparat... am eliberat 6 sertare, am pus totul aranjat frumos intr-o mare cutie si am umplut un saculet - sac pare prea mare - de aruncat. Nu am terminat, Doamne fereste, insa sunt incredibil de fericita ca m-am apucat intr-un final. Deja ma simt mai bine. Si consider ca merit, in primul rand, sa mananc si in al doilea rand o dota, un film, un ceva.

Dar inainte sa trec la relaxare, trebuie sa va zic ce am mai gasit. Pai niste poezii cam imbecile... niste desene mai mult sau mai putin decente... astea din perioada liceului. Insaaa am gasit si niste scrisori pentru Mos Nicolae de cand aveam 9 ani.

Va las sa va minunati singuri... :-s

Basically, pentru cine nu intelege, pe vremea cand am facut desenul stiam deja ca Mos Craciun si Mos Nicolae nu exista, dar eram inca in perioada de negare. Astfel, am creat acest personaj mitic fantastic, omul tatoamama (asta se vroia a fi) sau mamoatata. Cum s-o arzi asa?!

Cred ca mi se tragea de la zergii din Starcraft... *thinking*

6D Cinema

2009-07-27T02:20:00.000+03:00

Am fost azi la Liberty City la cinematografie 6D. Ruleaza 4 scurt metraje [?]:

Snow Ride - 4 min
Cosmic Race - 4 min
Pandavision - 10 min
The Haunted House - 14 min

Din cate am inteles Snow Ride si Haunted House sunt cele mai misto, dar eu am apucat sa vad doar Haunted House si Pandavision.

M-a uimit. La primul efectele au fost foarte misto si si-a atins scopul, acela de a ne speria. De la al doilea nu am iesit asa incantata, inca din nume iti dai seama ca nu e cine stie ce. Pandavision e mai mult de copii, funny si fara sens, totusi scena din apa arata FOARTE bine.

M-am ofticat rau cand am aflat ca tin asa putin, iar timpul acolo trece si mai repede insa dupa ce am iesit am realizat motivul pentru care sunt asa scurte: te dor ochii foarte tare si personal, m-a durut si capul. Un film 3D nu-ti solicita asa rau ochii, dar filmuletele astea sunt foarte concentrate ca actiuni tridimensionale. Se intampla multe lucruri si ti-e greu si sa focalizezi cateodata - mai ales cand se mai si misca scaunul cu tine, sau iti intra apa-n ochi :D.

Cu toate acestea, The Haunted House nu trebuie ratat. Este foarte bine realizat, are si o poveste nice iar efectele sunt superbe: de la scaune la efecte vizuale. Si sincer sper sa ajung curand si la Snow Ride.

Biletul costa 15 ron, pentru doritori.

Sunt studenta. Dar la ce?

2009-07-26T19:25:00.001+03:00

Ok. Am intrat la ASE, la REI, la taxa si la Limbi straine, la chineza-engleza, tot la taxa.

ASE:

+ genul de facultate la care intri greu dar o termini usor
+ continui cu ceva ce am mai invatat
+ am multi prieteni la aceeasi sectie
- nu imi place matematica si economia dar as putea sa le fac
- ies 6000 economisti pe an

Limbi straine:

+ e o limba destul de rar vorbita la noi in tara
+ 30 oameni pe an stiu chineza + inca 2-3000 care sunt chinezi veniti in Romania, sau romani plecati in China
- nu stiu daca o sa o pot invata

CE FAC? :)

Bollocks. Happy bollocks.

2009-07-23T21:13:00.000+03:00

Gata, s-a terminat si cu admiterea. Nu pot sa cred. Si acum imi amintesc cum la 10 ani urmaream in tacere cum se agita fratimiu cu bacul, cu inscrierea la facultate, cu admiterea, iar acum, dupa 8 ani de zile, am terminat intr-un final si eu. Timpul chiar nu mai are rabdare.

Dupa bac, am stat relaxata o perioada, dupa care am trecut la petreceri, nu prea mi-a mai pasat de admitere cum stiam ca ma fac de rusine daca dau la fotografie, nefiind pregatita, prin urmare nu mai exista nicio facultate care sa-mi placa cu adevarat.

Totusi, m-am hotarat intr-o zi, pentru a avea scuza sa nu fac curat, sa verific ce facultati mai sunt. Zilele acelea eram cam nervoasa pe majoritatea prietenilor mei, maica-mea urla intruna, frati-miu la fel, toata lumea imi inducea o stare de tot cacatul. Desi initial ideea era sa dau doar la ASE, am realizat pe parcursul a celor 4 zile de cacat ca nu vreau sa mai invat matematica si ca nu-mi place materia de la ASE. Mi s-au parut destul de interesante sectiile de la Litere si Limbi straine asa ca mi-am zis "What the hell?!".

Cum in casa ma plictisisem sa stau, si cu prietenii nu vroiam sa ma intalnesc, m-am dus si m-am inscris singurica... si la ASE - REI si FABIZ, si la Litere - Studii europene si Literatura universala si comparata, si la Limbi straine - Chineza/Engleza, Polona/Engleza si Portugheza/Engleza.

Si tot singurica m-am dus si la examenele de la Studii europene si Chineza/Engleza. Si pot spune cu mana pe inima ca mi-a priit. La primul examen nu stiam pe absolut nimeni, m-am imprietenit repede pe acolo dar mi-era rusine sa admit faptul ca nu m-am pregatit deloc la gramatica - avand in vedere ca ma hotarasem de 2 zile ca dau examen si acolo :D. Totusi, nu mi s-a parut foarte greu examenul si eu zic ca am facut foarte bine la engleza, si jumatate la romana, cum ma si asteptam. La al doilea examen, cel de la Limbi straine eram deja foarte obosita, si era examenul care conta mai mult pentru mine, deoarece ma hotarasem deja ca vreau sa intru la chineza-engleza. A fost ok si asta desi am facut cateva greseli din cauza oboselii...

Dupa aceste 2 examene am avut iar o petrecere de recreatie, ziua lui fratimiu, iar miercuri am dat si ultimul examen: cel de la ASE. Dupa cele 2 examene de la Litere si Limbi straine a cate 4 ore fiecare si a cate minim 5 pagini scrise la fiecare din aceeasi zi, am zis ca examenul grila de la ASE de 2 ore si jumatate in care trebuie sa umpli bile cu pixul va fi mana cereasca.

De unde?! O ora si jumatate m-a batut soarele-n cap in asa hal incat abia puteam rezolva exercitiile simple de la engleza. La economie nu m-am pregatit decat o ora si jumatate marti la 23:30 seara dinainte de examen cu fratimiu in care mi-a explicat cateva lucruri. Am luat 48 de puncte, si cele mai multe puncte le-am pierdut evident la economie, si intr-un fel acum regret ca nu am facut nici macar o meditatie, sau macar sa ma pregatesc cu fratimiu mai mult.

Nu vreau la ASE. Si atunci de ce sa regret ca nu m-am pregatit pentru examen? Pai ca in cazul in care la chineza-engleza intru la plata, sa am una si la buget, preferabil ASE, de back-up: cine stie cum o sa ajung sa urasc chineza si o sa vreau sa fac altceva; imi sta in fire.

Apropo de asta. Imi pot ingheta primul an de la o facultate, nu? :) As aprecia daca as si primi niste raspunsuri, eventual de la posibili viitori colegi de facultate? *smug*

In orice caz, mai am de asteptat un pic: pana pe 25 sa aflu exact rezultatele de la ase si pana pe 27 pentru litere si limbi straine.

Pana atunci insa... drinking booze, watching skins, playing dota, smoking weed, watching weeds and wandering unknowingly in the city are my main activities.

Bacalaureat 2009

2009-07-08T02:38:00.000+03:00

Prima proba: Romana oral -10

Inainte cu vreo 2 zile m-am panicat in ultimul hal ca nu o sa iau bacalaureatul. Eram in ultimul hal de obosita si deprimata, vroiam doar sa se termine totul. S-a enervat fratimiu, ne-am dus sa luam niste gyros si am inceput sa citesc subiectele cu el. Mi-a garantat 9 in cel mai rau caz la oral, si asta daca am ghinion. Am aflat de duminica ca eram programata pe la 3 si 20. Luni cand m-am trezit nu am putut manca nimic, nu mai tineam minte nicio caracteristica a stilurilor dar am zis asta e, trebuie s-o fac si p-asta! Ajung la liceu la 2, am aflat ca se decalase programul foarte rau, astfel am intrat la 2 si 20. No time for panic. Totusi toata lumea din curtea scolii vorbea de cat de oribila e comisia 4, ca de la ora 9 de cand a inceput nu au dat niciun 10 si ca s-au dat foarte multe note de 7 si 7,5. Evident eu eram la comisia 4, nici nu-mi imaginam altfel.

Ajung in fata salii, asteptam cu o colega. Iese o tipa de la o alta comisie, luase 9 dar stia de ce. Iese si de la comisia noastra un tip foarte suparat. Luase 8.5, nu avea chef de comentarii. Deja tremuram. Intra si prietena mea, ii urez bafta, raman singura. Pe cand ma plimbam pe niste nori rosii imaginandu-mi stelute care-mi vorbeau aud usa. Ma ridic, si aranjandu-mi camasuta ma indrept spre usa de dupa colt sa vad daca pot intra. Soc! Dau fata-n fata cu una dintre profesoare care iesise sa vorbeasca la telefon. Ma asez la loc cuminte si astept.

Fix cand trebuia sa intru eu, iese un coleg din sala de vis-a-vis. S-a uitat pe foaie, mi-a zis ca a luat 10 si dupa ce mi-a dat un hug de good luck... am intrat in pestera. Extrag biletul 84, vazand de pe spatele lui ca nu e nici prea lung sa ma incurc in informatii, nici prea scurt sa nu am ce abera. Ma asez in banca, incep sa-mi citesc textul dar nu puteam fi atenta la nimic din ceea ce citeam. Ma tot uitam in jur sa vad ce se intampla. Profesoarele incepusera sa il ia la misto pe un tip. De ce... nu stiam pentru ca nu fusesem atenta, insa deja incepusem sa ma sperii. Textul era Radu Petrescu - Matei Iliescu si la prima vedere mi-a parut atat de banal incat nu stiam ce sa spun despre el. Am incercat totusi sa ma concentrez si am scris ce imi cereau in cerinta si doar 2 sau 3 lucruri pe care nu mi le cereau dar le-am considerat importante.

Intre timp un coleg de-al meu s-a dus in fata si a inceput sa citeasca cerinta 1. Nu termina bine ca profesoarele il roaga sa treaca mai departe. S-a certat un pic cu ele pentru ca el vroia sa citeasca in continuare cand ce le spune... "Nu, mai bine mai citesc de la punctul 1, ca 2 si 3 le-am facut mai prost". CE?!?! Cum sa le spui asa ceva? Erau obligate sa nu-ti dea 10 dupa aceasta faza. Si a luat intr-adevar 9,5. Alta colega, Diana, care era chiar in fata mea a inceput sa tipe la ele "NUuu, va rog, mai lasati-ma un pic, mai am doar un pic, va rog frumos, VA IMPLOR MAI LASATI-MA UN PIC". Evident ca au lasat-o si a luat 10.

Dupa ce a plecat Diana, m-au chemat pe mine. Am facut doar ce mi-au zis si cand mi-au zis. Ajung in fata, imi zice una dintre profesoare "Doamne, fetita aia ar trebui sa ia niste calmante ca altfel nu o vad bine." Rad si eu cu ele, mai mult de complezenta. Le zic numarul biletului si incep amandoua a-mi spune ce bilet frumos si usor am tras, si vai ce text frumos si vai si vai. Incep sa citesc. La un moment dat mentionez ca exista in text epitete, comparatii si metafore. Bine, 2 epitete, si fiecare dintre ele se gaseau in comparatie respectiv in metafora. Prin urmare nu le-am repetat si ma trezesc cu una dintre profesoare intrebandu-ma "... Ce metafore ai gasit tu in text?" foarte sceptica. Ii raspund frumos. "Da, ai dreptate, foarte bine." Ajung la punctul 3 unde incep sa aberez despre ideea sculturii si a relatiei dintre artist si opera. Inchei. Una dintre profe mi-a spus ca am cam minimalizat rolul artistului prin ce am spus la final dar ca a fost bine.

Nu mi-au mai indoit foaia, mi-au dat-o direct si din pacate am vazut din sala ce nota am luat pentru ca nu am putut sa-mi exteriorizez sentimentele de imensa fericire si uimire care ma cuprinsesera.

Proba 2: Engleza oral - 10

Desi era tot proba orala nu-mi faceam asa multe griji pentru ca era vorba de engleza. Imi faceam doar griji sa nu ma incurc si sa-mi dea cumva 9,5 pentru ca ar fi stupid avand in vedere ca am CAE cu A. In orice caz ajung la liceu, intru in doar 10 minute pentru ca se decalasera iarasi si vad in sala inca 10 persoane care scriau si prin urmare trebuiau sa fie ascultate inaintea mea. Imi iau biletul 17 si ma duc in banca. Textul incepea cu un cuvant pe care nu il stiam asa ca am decis sa ma uit intai despre ce e vorba. "Israeli" "Gaza" Auleu nu stiu nimic despre subiectul asta. Incep sa citesc, era destul de greu daca imi pica textul ala la orice alt examen, dar fiind bac, m-am descurcat ok. Mai ales ca nici nu ma ascultau :)). "Aa, bilingv. 10 la romana. Ok, bravo!"

Proba 3: Romana scris - 8.7

Nu am invatat la romana. Recunosc, nu-mi place sa citesc carti romanesti. Mi se pare ca toate sunt pe aceeasi idee a taranului si nu-mi plac. Subiectul 1 am rezolvat maxim 20, subiectul 2 niciunul iar la subiectul 3 Dumnezeu cu mila. Inainte de examen totusi, vreo 2 zile, am recitit cateva comentarii pentru fiecare opera. La poezie stateam incredibil de prost, la proza eram ok.

Inainte de examen panica maxima in curtea scolii. Eu ma rugam la un 5, vrand doar sa trec, toti ceilalti vroiau note mari ca deh, e romana, nu matematica. Tocmai: e romana, e subiectiv, e problema. Am stat ceva vreme in sala pana au venit subiectele. Toata lumea era stresata, auzeam doar "PICA ENIGMA OTILIEI" "BA NU" "BA PICA EMINESCU" si am preferat sa vorbesc cu un tip care era deprimat ca murise MJ "Mie nu-mi mai pasa de bac... a murit Michael. Eu sunt trist". Vin subiectele tipa o fata din clasa "Ultima noapte!" si rasufla usurata. Si eu la fel. Era singura carte pe care o citisem [chiar daca nu in intregime :P] si care mi-a placut.

Toate 3 subiectele se bazau pe tema iubirii. La subiectul 1 am repetat aceleasi idei despre iubire pentru ca altceva nu mai era in acea poezie [Infrigurare - Lucian Blaga]. Subiectul 2 a fost decent pentru ca trebuia sa aberez pe tema iubirii si chiar nu aveam chef. La subiectul 3 nu credeam ca scot 2 pagini. Am scos 3 :).

Sunt chiar fericita de nota, nu am copiat nimic, nu am tocit. A, si am luat mai mult decat cei care erau siguri ca la romana iau peste 9.

Proba 3 1/2: Basement Jaxx & Moderat @ Arenele Romane

Sambata seara, m-am hotarat ca am nevoie de un pic de relaxare. Prin urmare, dupa o discutie cu fratimiu, am ajuns sa merg la Basement Jaxx. A fost o seara foarte draguta, m-am ametit repede din cateva beri pentru ca nu mai bausem de mult, si a fost destul de feeric totul, incat uitasem complet de bac si nu mai conta nici daca il trec nici daca nu.

Petrecerea a inceput cu Moderat, adica un duo - sau trio?! - intre baietii de la Modeselektor si Apparat, destul de linistit, cu niste efecte vizuale foarte interesante. Apoi au venit pe scena Basement Jaxx, cu 2 negrese de o energie uimitoare - ele fiind totusi destul de mari. Sample aici.

In orice caz, a fost o iesire binevenita.

Proba 4: Matematica - 8.9

Pot spune doar ca stiam mai degraba sa fac subiectele 2 si 3 decat subiectul 1 care mi s-a parut foarte urat.

Proba 5: Informatica - 8.75

Cu fiecare zi a crescut timpul de stat in sali si asteptat subiecte. MULT. Atat de mult incat la informatica am inceput examenul la 11:20 desi noi eram acolo de la 8. A fost bine ca eram cu 2 colegi de-ai mei in sala si m-am si intalnit cu o cunostinta de familie si am avut ce face 3 ore. Totusi... nu mai aveam tigari, sucul era pe terminate, guma nu mai aveam si mi-era foarte cald si somn. Aa... si nimeni nu mai avea tigari. In orice caz, subiectele au fost okay, ma asteptam la o nota de genul asta, n-a fost soc.

Proba 6: Sport - 9.5

M-am cam sictirit la aceasta ultima proba. Chiar speram sa iau 10 si mi s-a dovedit iarasi ca de fiecare data cand ma duc cu high expectancies la un examen iau mai putin si cand ma duc cu gandul modest de "Vreau doar 5" iese foarte bine. Nu stiu exact ce n-am facut bine, viteza si abdomenele sigur le-am scos. La capra a fost foarte aiurea pentru ca noi ne pregatiseram pe o capra mult mai mica decat cea din Scoala Centrala si posibil sa-mi fi scazut acolo. Iar la baschet noi ne pregatiseram pe un teren mult mai mare. E nota buna si 9.5, nu ma intelegeti gresit, dar in conditiile in care altele au luat note mai mari si nu meritau... e normal sa fiu enervata.

Per total eu mai vroiam o proba [some may know why!] deci experienta asta a bacului a fost mai decenta decat credeam. Doar stresul dinainte e de rau, atat.

9.3 led me to see Moby, Franz Ferdinand, Orbital si nebunia de la Silent Disco cu cei de la Klaxons si cei de la Franz Ferdinand. Voi reveni cu detalii <3

Sunscreen... would be it!

2009-06-11T21:57:00.001+03:00

S-a terminat. S-a terminat si cu atestatul, si cu balul si cu tot liceul. Daca ma intrebai acum 2 luni nu mi-as fi inchipuit ca as putea fi atat de trista. E a 4 a oara cand plang azi. Bine, primele 2 dati au fost din cauza nervilor si posibil la ultimele 2 sa fie de vina si alcoolul, dar cu toate astea, tot imi pare incredibil de rau ca s-a terminat.

Fiecare persoana din acesti 4 ani a avut un impact enorm asupra-mi. Fie ca e vorba de Ana si Deiu - fetele cu care m-am jucat de nenumarate ori poker si alte jocuri, sau de Carina si Sonia - de la care am mai invatat tips in moda, Purice si Musat - cu care m-am imbatat de multe ori si cu care puteam vorbi de muzica care ne place cu adevarat, Vlad si Coti - la care prin SDEM EU PRO ONLY!! spun totul si cu care dezbateam subiecte din cele mai diverse, Razvan si Diana - cu care am vorbit mereu de relatii, Pitzi si Florian - care constant pe parcusul anilor au facut misto de mine, dar misto care ma scotea din orice suparare, Iorgu, Coti si 'Numarul 27'- cu care puteam vorbi de la filme artistice la filme cu adolescenti, Vladutz si Monica - fotografia si sociabilitatea reprezentau punctele noastre comune, Ursu - vecinul cu care m-am dus la scoala si m-am intors acasa zilnic timp de 2 ani, in care ne-am inteles grozav, Piciu - care m-a uimit cu visele lui ciudate si cum se trezea el la 4 dimineata sa-si scrie la matematica, Sanda - unul din cei mai cretini, sau care vroia sa para cretin, oameni cunoscuti, Dana - care-mi explica ce semnifica fiecare simbol din japoneza, Alina - care mi-a dat pierce in clasa a 10 a si aproape era sa lesin ca nu mancasem :), Adina - cu care vorbeam despre Anglia once in a while, Alin - caterinca si informatica, Lucian - IPHONE! sau Stefan - pe care nu l-am cunoscut foarte bine dar care m-a uimit cand l-a intrebat pe profesorul de franceza "La o adica, eu de ce va zic dumneavoastra? Cati ani ai ma tu? Cati?!".

Sper ca nu am uitat pe nimeni, si as dori de asemenea sa fac un omagiu pentru cei care nu ne-au suportat caracterul ludic si ironic pentru 4 ani de zile dupa cum urmeaza: Iuliana, Shnitzi, Diana, Liana, Marius si Coditza.

Ok, m-a apucat iarasi plansul. Cum sa nu plang cand vad statusul lui Ursu...

I: 2 rosii merg pe strada, care din ele e femeia?

R: Cea stricata.

Poate sunt prea sensibila, dar gluma asta imi aminteste de momentele in care luam niste note mici si venea unul din ei trist in clasa, zicea gluma asta, ramanand tot trist, si abia cand restul clasei murea de ras se lumina si el la fata.

Nu as fi vrut niciodata sa termin liceul. Astazi la festivitate, cand fiecare din noi era imbracat frumos in roba si cu toca pe cap mi s-a parut mai mult decat emotionant. Cand mi-am auzit numele, aplauzele si urletele din sala... aproape ca mi se indoisera picioarele.

In orice caz, asta e acum. Am 3 mari regrete pentru ziua de azi totusi:

1. Ca m-am certat cu maicamea. (si prin urmare am pierdut poza de inceput *blush*)

2. Ca nu ne-am gandit sa ne facem un slideshow cu poze cu noi de-a lungul anilor.

3. Ca am uitat sa il chem pe fratimiu si pe prietena lui la festivitate.

Sincer, ieri nu dadeam asa mare importanta zilei de astazi, dar acum... mi-e imposibil sa descriu ce simt.

Si va rog, abtineti-va la comentarii inutile. Stiu ca fiecare sfarsit are un nou inceput, sunt complet de acord si abia astept sa vad cum e la facultate si sa cunosc noi oameni, dar m-am atasat atat de mult de liceu, de drumul pana la liceu si mai ales de colegii mei incat sunt coplesita.

PS: Discutam cu Musat adineauri cum ca nu o sa ducem neaparat dorul fiecarei persoane in parte - pentru ca am hotarat ca ne vom intalni destul de des, precum se intelege din descrierea facuta mai sus, ci colectivului nostru. Cum ne certam si impacam intre noi, caterinca din clasa, cum ne uneam mai mult la chiul si copiat si mai ales pentru asa ceva:

Ne-am hotarat sa numim aceasta opera de arta arhitecturala... Tembelism.

In primul rand, premiile See Mee din Sofia s-au incheiat ieri. Ok Corral a iesit pe locul 3 la Best Live Act Band, iar prietenul nostru, Victor Stancov, a iesit pe locul 1 la Best Upcoming Artist.

Printre premii as mai dori sa mentionez alte locuri 1 castigate de romani, Best Producer: Adrian Eftimie si Best Website covering Dance Music: Beatfactor .

Nu sunt deloc de acord cu topul de la Best International Live Act Band, care suna in felul urmator:
01. The Prodigy - 1067 votes
02. Booka Shade - 1011 votes
03. Justice – 998 votes
04. Chemical brothers - 994 votes
05. Massive Attack – 991 votes
06. Daft Punk - 890 votes
* Simian Mobile Disco - 788 votes
* Format B – 761 votes
* Pendulum - 703 votes
* Juno Reactor – 478 votes
* Beasty Boys - 312 votes
* Faithless – 292 votes
* Stunned Guys – 139 votes

Imi plac Prodigy dar live, cel putin la Coke Live, si-au batut joc complet. Ne-au lasat sa asteptam vreo 50 de minute, nu au facut niciun test de sunet in prealabil si s-a auzit infect. Aa si ei erau foarte beti si drogati pe scena, deci show... nu prea a fost daca abia se tineau in picioare. Am vazut live si Massive Attack si Chemical Brothers si Faithless [de 2 ori] si pot spune cu mana pe inima ca oricare dintre acestia au fost mai tari live decat Prodigy. Sau poate Prodigy si-a batut joc doar de romanasi avand in vedere ca au fost chemati pe scena ca si PROGIDY. Si eu mi-as fi batut joc.

Cat despre cei care s-au ocupat de site, se scrie Beastie Boys nu Beasty :).

In alta ordine de idei, va invit pe toti sa verificati cate cuvinte scrieti pe minut cu ajutorul acestui site.

You type 440 characters per minute
You have 80 correct words and you have 1 wrong words

Pretty proud of myself actually.

... cat noroc trebuie sa aiba o persoana care cu greu face diferenta intre flop si river si care nu stie cum se dau beturile prea bine sa castige 3 milioane intr-o seara [aka toti banii bagati in joc], avand in vedere ca blindurile erau de 5/10 mii si ca toti ceilalti jucatori de la masa aveau mult mai multa experienta intr-ale pokerului.

Mi-e greu sa inteleg.

Beardyman @ Hala

2009-05-30T17:26:00.000+03:00

Daca reusesc sa ma trezesc in 4 ore ca sa ajung si eu in Hala sa il vad pe Beardyman live, o sa fiu cea mai fericita, dat fiind faptul ca mi s-a futut programul de somn in ultimul hal...

Pentru cei care habar nu au cine e Beardyman, watch this:

Stiu ca e lung (18 minute) dar merita!

See ya there. Or not. We'll see.

Later edit: I completely failed. Nu m-am trezit in timp sa ajung sa-l vad. Daca puteti sa-mi spuneti si mie cum a fost, ar fi grozav :).

See-Me Awards in Sofia

2009-05-27T00:52:00.000+03:00

My brother, alongside Thornado, got nominated at the See-Me Awards in Sofia for his live-act under the name Ok Corral.

This is something big for him but also for the Romanian club scene as a lot of wide-known artists such as Daft Punk, Prodigy, Massive Attack and Chemical Brothers have also been nominated (at different categories of course) in the same awards-giving festival (?).

Besides Ok Corral other romanians have been nominated as well, such as: Victor Stancov, Dana Nicula, Adrian Eftimie, TRG, Play & Win, the Sunete magazine, the Beatfactor site, the Kristal Glam Club, the Sunrise promoter, etc.

Anyway, if you want to support your fellow romanian comrads at these awards, please click here and vote. If you want to vote with someone else, please do so. I am only advertising.

By the way, the deadline is on the 30th of May, but I just got the popularity I needed to write this advertisement :)). Just joking, I actually kinda voted and then forgot about it.

Sucky sister of me.

Ok Corral's live-act for the Heineken Thrist contest in 2008 which was held at Arenele Romane:

Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Norman Cook - aka Fatboy Slim e tare. Doar ca in ultima perioada a cam stat pe bara la capitolul productie, concentrandu-se mai mult pe petreceri si mixat.

Mi-a cam spart gura cu noul lui proiect numit Brighton Port Authority, pentru ca ii fredonez intruna melodia. Toe Jam e prima melodie pe care am ascultat-o din acest proiect, pentru care a colaborat cu Dizzee Rascal.

A doua piesa este Seattle, o foarte relaxanta si draguta melodie, in care a colaborat cu Emmy the Great.

A treia piesa este He's Frank (slight return).

Iar ultimul, de care am aflat si eu azi este Should I Stay or Should I Blow?

Personal, mie imi plac Toe Jam si Blow cel mai mult, dar nici celelalte doua nu-s rele. Voi ce parere aveti?

PS: Ma doare fix in pula de cine ce zice de blogul meu. Pot sa zic si pula si pizda si sloboz si cacat pe acest blog si poate sa se ia si Papa Ioan Paul I de mine - din mormant - ca tot in pula ma doare. Apropo, v-am ingrosat cuvintele respective, asa, ca sa va fie mai usor cand dati search.

Refugiu

2009-05-16T16:19:00.000+03:00

Nu mai vreau sa ies din casa. Nu imi mai place sa fiu sociabila. Nu urasc pe nimeni, ba chiar imi plac toti prietenii mei, insa nu mai vreau sa ies cu nimeni. De ce? Nu mai simt ca ma distrez, ma plictisesc foarte repede si cred ca am atins saturatia la capitolul "iesit".

Am mai multe grupuri de persoane cu care ies. La inceput, fiecare mi se parea genial in felul lui, si tocmai alternanta lor mi se parea cea mai buna solutie. Nimeni nu stia nimic de celalalt si fiecare noua poveste era un motiv de bucurie. Acum a intervenit monotonia, nu mai e nimic nou de aflat, si nu numai asta, dar in mare, nimeni nici nu prea vrea sa faca ceva nou (si daca se gaseste un lucru nou sigur se gasesc si oponenti si tot cu o persoana iesi la film).

Una din probleme e faptul ca nu toti sunt open-minded. Nici eu nu accept poate sa ascult o piesa de-a lui Vilalobos pentru ca am mai ascultat si stiu ca nu-mi place. Insa daca e ceva despre care nu stiu absolut nimic, vizionez, ascult, citesc cu cea mai mare placere si in functie de timpul liber pe care il am.

Alta problema depistata de mine azi e ca toti avem nevoie de refugiu. Unii se refugiaza in jocuri, unii in relatii temporare, unii in alcool, unii in filme, unii in invatat, unii in droguri, unii in moda, unii in amintiri iar altii se refugiaza in relatii de lunga durata. Eu alternez metodele de refugiere foarte des si poate de asta ma plictisisesc cand ies cu un grup care se refugiaza doar in amintiri sau doar in alcool.

Poate trebuie sa cunosc si mai multa lume. Sau poate trebuie doar sa treaca BAC-ul si starea mea de cacat.

Ultima piesa Pet Shop Boys, laolalta cu videoclipul ei, imi inspira ideea de a fi modest, cat poti de fericit si iubit. Imi place.

Cum scapam de BAC?

2009-05-07T00:07:00.000+03:00

Asistand la discutia dintre 2 bune prietene de-ale mele despre cum este mai bine: sa ramai la o materie si sa nu intri in BAC din prima, sau sa intri in BAC dar sa pici in ultimul hal am ajuns \ in final la concluzia ca e mai bine sa nu intri in bac din prima. De ce? Pentru ca poti da usor vina pe 'profa' care avea ceva cu tine si n-a vrut sa te bage in bac, insa ai fi luat 10 cu felicitari daca il dadeai.

De asemenea, eu am teoria ca indiferent daca iau bac-ul sau nu, voi intra in coma alcoolica. De fericire sau de suparare, in functie de caz. Asa ca, de ce sa-l mai dau daca tot imi va provoca moartea? Mai bine traiesc impacata ca nu am dat bac-ul din motive de sanatate.

Dupa o teza dezastruoasa la romana, si un test jalnic la matematica, am inceput sa ma gandesc la nenumarate cai prin care as putea scapa de bac dupa cum urmeaza:

1. Sa raman insarcinata. Am facut deja gluma de 1 aprilie si in afara de bunica-mea, lumea nu a fost foarte incantata. Plus de asta imi fac rau mie, iar asta nu face parte din plan.

2. Sa mananc atat de mult junk-food incat sa nu mai fiu in stare de nimic pana la bac. De la stres, McDonalds dupa scoala, Springtime dupa meditatii, si asta aproape zilnic... S-ar scuza.

3. Sa ma prefac ca am fost violata, prin urmare viata mea ar fi distrusa si nu m-as mai putea concentra la nimic.

4. Sa calculez cat sa beau astfel incat sa intru in coma alcoolica, dar sa nu mor.

5. Sa ma prefac ca am fost furata, si dupa ce iau si rascumpararea mea, sa le spun parintilor ca ma aflu intr-un soc continuu si nu mai vreau sa ies din casa o perioada.

6. Sa intru in sala de examen si sa incep sa injur sistemul, dand apoi vina pe sindromul Tourette care s-a intamplat sa se declansese chiar atunci.

7. Sa ma duc la psihologul scolii si sa sustin sus si tare ca am fost agresata de parinti si ca acum am ajuns la capatul puterilor si nu sunt psihic in stare sa dau bac-ul. Nu e o idee prea buna in afara cazului in care ai parinti foarte prosti.

8. Turn Amish. Desi perspectiva de a lucra numai cu balegar nu ma incanta.

9. Sa ma arunc pe geam.

10. Sa devin emo.

M-am plictisit. Am devenit emo.

So basically in the last episode of South park [season 13, episode 7, Fatbeard], Cartman decides to move from his little boring city and become a pirate in Somalia. I won't give away the whole episode however i feel the need to share with you one joke. When they arrived on the island, some somalian pirates stole the kids for ransom and went to find someone to buy them on the ocean. They met an UN french boat, and after they gave the pirates the ransom, they took the kids on boat. On the boat, Cartman tried to put his foot down with a real sword, so that the french will understand that that boat belongs to them now. The french didn't pay any attention to Cartman, but when another kid threatened them with a lightsaber they got really scared :)). Funny, eh?

By the way, do you like fish sticks?

Ce am invatat azi 1

2009-04-29T21:23:00.000+03:00

Bine, azi, ieri, ce mai conteaza?

** Stefan cel Mare, Vlad Tepes si Matei Corvin au copilarit impreuna pentru ca mai apoi sa se ajute reciproc in a deveni regi in diferite regiuni. De asemenea in aceeasi perioada mai ieseau si "la un suc".

** Primul ABCdar a fost facut de Creanga si nu incepea cu A ci cu IN, trecand apoi la NI, UN, NU, NUC, CUC, etc.

** Una dintre primele propozitii din acest ABCdar era nu ma spal cu unt pe cap si propozitiile nu incepeau cu litera mare. Spre final ii invata pe copii si scrierea chirilica.

** Acum 30 si ceva de ani, cum nu exista notiunea de meditatii sau daca exista era oricum ceva intalnit rar, copiii care vroiau sa studieze matematica in continuare dupa liceu trebuiau sa se descurce singuri. "Si cum intelegeau ei problemele scrise cu sume aij, cum sunt scrise subiectele la ASE, daca nu li se preda asta in liceu?" am intrebat eu. "Pai, de aceea exista Gazeta Matematica, si toti care vroiau facultate lucrau singuri din ea." mi-a venit raspunsul imediat.

More to come.

Cutremur

2009-04-28T12:43:00.000+03:00

Pentru mine, ideea de cutremur imi inspira faptul ca Pamantul, din inima lui, ne vrea off it si fiecare mic cutremur e o amenintare, un nou pas spre un cutremur mare in care totul se va narui si populatia va fi expulzata. SF, dar imi place ideea.

Unii au simtit cutremurul de pe 26 aprilie, altii nu. Frica cea mai mare in ceea ce priveste cutremurele nu e ca te balangani un pic, ca pana la urma cu totii ne-am dat in leagan si invartitoare copii fiind, ci faptul ca nu stii cat dureaza, cat de puternic va fi si ce se poate intampla. Practic nestiinta creeaza frica, dar asta nu e ceva nou.

Daca am auzi la televizor "Un cutremur de 5.3 grade va avea loc pe data de xx.xx.2009 la ora 18:37 si va dura 20 de secunde" si ar fi scientifically-proven dinainte, nimeni nu s-ar mai panica. Asa insa, luati prin surprindere, am auzit de oameni care au iesit in fata blocului in pijama de frica, mai ales dupa ce au trecut prin cutremurul din '77.

Cand eram mica ma speriau cutremurele dar de indata ce se terminau, mai vroiam unul. Acum insa, dupa ce mi-a povestit taica-miu ca la cutremurul din '77, dupa ce a coborat 2 etaje pe scari si a ajuns afara, a cazut in genunchi de puternic ce era si a mai durat si un minute si ceva, ma cam sperie ideea unui cutremur mai mare de 6 grade.

Ce m-a determinat sa scriu postul asta insa este atitudinea animalelor din casa mea care a fost... nula. Nici cainele, nici pisica nu au avut nici cea mai mica reactie, nici macar in timpul cutremurului, daramite inainte. Sa fie cainele meu asa bleg si Treispe asa de preocupat de mancare incat sa nu mai aiba niciun fel de instinct?!

Defense of the Ancients

2009-04-27T03:05:00.000+03:00

I love playing DOTA.

I am writing this post for all my friends and all the people who don't understand why I play this game.

For those of you who aren't acquinted with the 'term', DOTA, also known as Defence of the Ancients, is a map designed by IceFrog for Warcraft 3. It soon became so popular that people didn't say they were playing Warcraft anymore, but Dota. Servers especially made for Dota appeared and it really is an addictive game.

I won't explain exactly how you play it as it takes a while to become a pretty good player and you won't understand it anyway.

Firstly, you must understand that dota is a GAME. People PLAY it because it is relaxing, entertaining and challenging just as a macao game or a match of fotball - although ATTENTION you may become a hooligan.

Secondly...

While some of you like reading fashion magazines that cover typical subjects and offer to you useless information, I enjoy the excitement of a new game when seeing what heroes were chosen by my team and what were the opposite's team choices.

While you like going through shops and wandering unknowingly deciding which pair of sunglasses suits you best, I like choosing items for my hero, so that I will stand heroically against my enemies - and beating the crap out of my brother and my ex-boyfriend.

While you like discussing how much of an idiot is the guy that fucked you and then left you, at a soda in the center of our city, looking for cute guys who will also fuck you and leave you, I enjoy thinking what is best to buy first, considering their price and efficiency.

While you like watching low buget stupid comedies, I like the challenge of each game and talking to people from all the corners of the earth about music, movies, books and games.

I know the last argument may get you thinking that I am a geeky person and perhaps I am, but I am still a sociable person and I am able to talk about anything else rather than dota when I go out with my un-geeky friends. However, I would rather cut my wrists wide open than talking about Gucci purses and nails for 2 hours.

My problem - if I had one, wouldn't lie in those who like doing what I mentioned above, but in those who play other life-consuming games such as WoW, Lineage, Heroes, Counter-Strike etc - cause i can go on and on giving examples - and still tackle me for playing dota.

Btw, to my fellow dota-colleagues : if I like playing with one particular guy dota, doesn't mean I have hang a poster of him on my wall, or that he is a better friend than you. It only means that I like playing with him because he is calm and relaxed even if we lose because, after all, it really is only a game.

Random thoughts

2009-04-23T14:28:00.000+03:00

I dont consider myself smart, I dont see myself as a beautiful person, I dont consider myself really good at anything in particular but believe me... Sometimes I feel like Im the best. When I see how important fashion is for some, when I realize how stupid are the fights within relationships, when I see that some cant understand obvious jokes, when I realize how narrow minded are some people... I feel accomplished, I feel as if I dont live in the same world as the rest of the people. Its like Im on LSD and i watch every move from somewhere above - no reference to religion in any way.

However, I dont trust myself. I dont believe I'll be able to live on my own as most of the people mentioned above do. That's when I wonder...

What's my problem?

House Parade + 18th birthday

2008-08-27T23:51:00.000+03:00

As I didn't want to spend my 18th birthday in my hometown - Bucharest - I decided to go to Ploiesti with some of my friends, where House Parade has taken place this year.

For me it was an amazing night, passing through a lot of different feelings. I was quite bored by Markuz Schultz's music, and by the festival in general being trance-focused, until I heard a remix of "Hey boy, hey girl" by Chemical Brothers and started dancing immediately!

Tocadisco was the one in charge of my happiness and as I just put my hands on his set from that night, I want to share it with you!

PS: Unfortunately, I have no idea how to upload that big of a file, but when I get the hang of it, I will.

PPS: One of the best day ever.

No introduction needed.

Meet Jimmy! My father bought it as a gift for my 10th anniversary after my mother precisely said that it's not the right time for a dog :P. Thus he's 8 years old. He's a bishon maltez with shih tzu.

This was Ubuntu. Unfortunately he suffered an accident - don't ask - and it's not alive anymore. RIP Ubuntu.

This is Ebola also known as Lola. Xi hasn't decided yet. He and Ubuntu have had a rough relationship but I'm sure that 'she'* misses Ubuntu a lot. She's got a 3-floor suite all for herself. Heh. Life.

* I'm not sure about it's sex.

This is Viktor, our latest acquisition on account of hamsters. He's cute and small, and the way he drinks water is fantastic. He's staying in another place than Ebola, in a sort of acquarium. As Mike Skinner [The Streets] would say :

"We just sit in this hazy bubble with our quarters
Discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is.
MTV, BBc 2, Channel 4 is on until six in the morning,

Then at six in the morning the sun dawns and it's my bedtime."

And this skank is 13. Yup, Thirteen. Nope, not the movie! As Jip from Human Traffic would say "She's a pussycat." Lately he answers to Viktor's name so it's quite chaotic.

Anyway, it's interesting living here. Especially when my brother decides rearranging some stuff too...

LATER EDIT:

xi: bai

deea: da

xi: ai incurcat animalili din casa

deea: e na

xi: ubuntu = lola, ala mort

deea: ahhh

deea: pai ebola si lola suna mai a fata, nu ubuntu

xi: ebola = ubuntu 2 = ala viu

xi: lola = baiat

xi: ebola = fata

deea: OMG

xi: victor = baiat

deea: lola baiat?

deea: jesus

deea: m-ai incurcat de tot

As much as I wanted to hide my enthusiasm... I just couldn't :D

I knew I would have the lowest mark in speaking cause I'm quite shy and I completely freak out when supposed to talk in public.

Nonetheless, I took an A, so hooray :D

Birthdays

2008-08-06T13:05:00.000+03:00

As I child I have always thought of birthdays as opportunities for parties, having all my friends in the same place at the same time and well, parties :D. Having grown, though my excitement for parties didn't change, I started hating birthdays!

I couldn't quite get why a lot of people hate their birthdays, but now, becoming 18 in 10 days made me understand exactly what they felt. I'll soon be allowed to drink, drive, smoke, all legally and this thought completely freaks me out.

However, I didn't want to talk only about the 18th birthdays - this is a special case, I wanted to talk about birthdays in general. I've reached that age - perhaps a bit early - when birthdays make you feel old in a bad way. As a child, having grown a year was like the 8th wonder of the world. You felt mature, and you wanted to become more mature. Afterwards, everyone wants to be a child.

Life's interesting.

Massive Attack in Romania

2008-08-03T19:15:00.000+03:00

THEY WERE HERE. And I was there.

Amazing concert with incredible sounds and political messages personalized - in a way - for our country. I have no words to describe the amazing atmosphere created there.

The lead-singer's voice went directly to my soul and the melange of instruments was perfect! Listening to those songs live was an incredible opportunity and I suggest everyone to go to Massive Attack's concerts if they have the possibility because it's an ideal concert indeed and you can't really get it irrespective how well someone describes it for you unless you are there...

What was more incredible for me was the after party @ Fabrica. I was dancing on Gojira's music, and heard all sorts of rumours that the components of Massive Attack were going to be there. "Pfff", I was thinking, "right. Like they're really gonna come here.". BUT THEY HAVE!

Talking to Xi at one moment of the night, she suddenly stopped talking and was acting as if she couldn't breathe anymore when... I turned. To my surprise, Daddy G WAS THERE! At about 1 metre away from us! Unfortunately, he wasn't feeling so well so he left. But my brother, Vania, told us to come in the last room from Fabrica where the last of the members were there!! For about 3 hours we were in a dream. Talking to the lead singer about animals, music and common things was unreal... All the members were so sociable, and so detached, and so... no further comments. Not only do they have great talent and are so popular but acting so common was a real surprise! I know they're people but knowing all sorts of other artists... it was amazing!

They were also pleasantly surprised by the mass of romanian people who came to see them live. They didn't expect the concert to be such a succes. To finish up, they were pretty impressed by the people here compared to Britain.

Martina Topley Bird was also there, a really cute girl with a great voice. I didn't catch her whole show but I was impressed by her last 15 minutes. Great show and again... really sociable.

Actually, I don't know any other worldwide-known bands who would come to after parties in an ex-FACTORY.

All in all, it was an unreal night!

PS: If any of the photographers who were at the after party is reading this, do leave me a message cause I completely forgot to ask where I can get those photos :).

PPS: Sorry for the repeating of some words but I'm still too numb to think or react.

The War at Home

2008-07-25T15:05:00.000+03:00

Another TV series I love and don't think gets the appreciation it deserves is The War at Home - actually it's not about the appreciation it gets, it's about the fact that it's not so known. I truly think that Rob Lotterstein illustrated perfectly the idea of A FAMILY. You could say this is a new Married with Children show.

The parents who are always fighting over small things, the smallest kid using this as a way to make his parents do what he wants, the middle child who is said to have problems, and the biggest one, the teenager girl who has emotional problems constantly, all mixed up with incredibly funny lines make up this can't-hate / must-love show.

Maybe not any family can see itself in this series as there are some far-fetched situations - such as parents smoking weed - or maybe those are quite common in other countries but not in Romania. Also, Michael Rapaport is acting quite weird for a dad, in my opinion. He is a bit unrealistic, but it's not that bad eventually.

It has 2 seasons and for Family Guy lovers, this series also features Seth MacFarlane in an episode, in a quite freaky role!

I could talk on and on about this show but I actually want to re-watch another episode and I suggest you all do the same!

Poll #1

2008-07-20T01:14:00.000+03:00

Ok, so the poll has ended a while ago but I've been quite busy lately - CAE examination, playing DOTA, going to the seaside :P - so I've just got the time to write about it.'

South Park 18 (35%)
Seinfeld 17 (33%)
Friends 17 (33%)
Two and a Half Men 16 (31%)
Family Guy 13 (25%)
Joey 11 (21%)
The Simpsons 9 (17%)
Married with Children 8 (15%)
Everybody Loves Raymond 6 (11%)
War At Home 4 (7%)
American Dad 2 (3%)
The Office US 2 (3%)
Curb Your Enthusiasm 2 (3%)
The King of Queens 0 (0%)
The Office UK 0 (0%)
other 8 (15%)

I was amazed that more people like Two and a Half Men than Family Guy and Joey had more votes than Simpsons but mainly it was a decent result, in my opinion.

What i wanted to ask is all the people who voted "other" to send me a comment with the specific name of those comedy shows. Thanks :)

New poll coming soon.

Addicted To Games

2008-04-21T03:49:00.000+03:00

Although i'm pretty sure no one will have the patience to read this whole post of mine - because it's gonna be long - i'm still gonna write it!

Tibi = my brother
Raluca = his girlfriend
Gemenii = my internet network

Having an older brother - 8 years older to be exact - had an impact on me in different areas. The one that i'm gonna talk about now is games. I like playing games from board and computer games to casino ones. Games, games, games!

1. I'll start with the computer ones.

Starcraft

If it weren't for Tibi, i wouldn't have started playing Starcraft at 8 or 9 years old in a thousand years - maybe because i would have been 1009 years old :)) . I saw him play and decided to try it too! I obviously started with the Original campaign, but haven't finished it. Why? Because my brother accidentally erased my saves after i had gone through a lot of difficulties trying to pass to the Protoss Campaign. What difficulties? Well, mostly emotional because i started crying each time i couldn't finish a mission. I remember going to my brother and asking him to help me but he always told me "No! You have to finish it yourself!" . Anyway, i also remember hating the missions in which you just had to walk and not die! Horrible. I usually lost.
Status: inactive - i would play it whenever but it doesn't work anymore

Quake

I didn't play it much, as I didn't and don't like shooters - except when you're playing with friends and not with bots - so i played it a bit by myself and one holiday, my brother moved my computer in his room to play it together on internet with other friends of him. I used to have a good time but after that holiday i completely forgot about it.
Status: inactive - if all the people played quake instead of cs, i would prefere playing quake

Diablo II

Haha. I still laugh when i remember how I started playing Diablo. My brother played it constantly for a while - well... as we all have - and i noticed. I was 12, I think, so I used to play Sims or Roller Coaster Tycoon in that period, but they weren't as entertaining as the game Tibi presented to me in the past - Starcraft - so I thought i could try this one too. Before the actual start of my playing, I used to sit by my brother while he played, and just click 1 2 3 4 for the potions when he needed them. When I think at it now, i find it really lame, but hey, I was quite small!

I also remember the first time my brother presented me the characters... "Here's the barbarian, the assasin, the druid - if you play with it, you'll be able to transform into a bear or a wolf at one point, the amazon, the paladin - my favourite char, the necromancer and the sorcerrer - but the last too are quite hard to play with at first". As in all games, I wanted to be a girl; the sorcerrer was too hard, I didn't like the amazon so I chose THE ASSASIN. I liked her introduction scene a lot, hehe. I think that's when my mother started telling me that I'm just like Tibi. I didn't finish the game either because I was very meticulous, not to lose any information, so 4 acts took a lot of time. I was so fond of this game, and so meticulous that I used to call Tibi, who was at te seaside, more than 10 times a day asking him if I had found an unique object that he didn't know about. Obviously I received only negative answers but didn't quite matter. I also remember reaching act 2 and being so scared by those spiders and maggots and swarms, brrr.

In the eighth grade, my network had a Diablo II server and we all played on it. I was finally able to meet and kill Baal, hehe. In the top, my brother was on the 1st and the 4th place with 2 characters while I was on the 10th. I was so proud :)). I played for quite a while, preferring obviously to play instead of learn. But soon I moved from an appartment where I had Internet and that network to a house where I didn't, and was able to concentrate on my exam - pff.

The third phase in which I was obsessed with Diablo II was in the 10th grade when Raluca, Tibi, some of his friends and myself bought the original Diablo II - not that me and my brother didn't have it before :P; the others didn't - and played on the Blizzard server. It was fun, but got bored when we all had to wait for Tibi to finish his trades - one or two hours each time we wanted to play.
Status: inactive - until the forth phase.

Diablo I

After phase 1 of Diablo II, my brother realised that I hadn't played Diablo I at all. He couldn't let that happen so he sort of obliged me to play it - not that I didn't want to play but I was sceptical about older games. However, the game got to me, and I almost finished it; I reached Diablo but couldn't kill him, damn it, although it wasn't half as scarry as THE BUTCHER! Tibi warned me that i'm gonna meet a really scarry guy and hard to kill. I was relaxed, what could possibly scare me that bad? When i reached him, though, I was terrified. Fresh Meat.

Couldn't find a Diablo I fight with the butcher but this is similar, because it's return to Diablo I from Diablo II.

Status: inactive

Heroes III

The same as in the case of Diablo II, I saw Tibi playing and didn't understand what was it with those hexagons so I started playing this game too. I played a bit of the campaign but didn't finish it. Dunno exactly why but I just didn't, although I like the game a lot. Maybe the problem is that it may take a lot of time.
Status: inactive - as in the case of Diablo II I have periods in which I play it a lot, and periods in which I don't

Warcraft III

Unfortunately, after I moved and after I entered highschool I sort of lost interest for playing games and especially for playing games by myself. I started in the 9th or 10th grade playing Warcraft, but only reached the undead campaign which I didn't finish. I still regret not finishing Warcraft but now I'm kind of busy with exams and stuff, plus, I like socialising a lot so woohoo for parties. But I promise I will one day finish it! I regret it mainly when I hear others talk about it, but if I had played Warcraft 3, I would have probably wanted to play WOW, which, although I believe it when people say that it's a great game, it's sort of life consuming :P and I do want to pass the BAC exam - except that Starcraft II is going to be released exactly when I'll be supposed to be studying for the exam so...
Status: inactive

Counter Strike

I couldn't understand at all why all the people were playing CS. I didn't like it at all, I used to find it really dull. I played a bit because everyone played it and I obviously wanted to see how it is but that was it. Until this year :)) when we all played and play it at informatics classes in school. I found it pretty fun, and soon I/we started playing it at home, with a Akype conference - if it weren't for the conference, the game would definitely lose its charm.
Status: active

Trackmania Nations (Forever)

As in the case of CS, I like to play it with friends.
Status: active

Other games

As I said earlier, I also played games such as Sims and Roller Coaster Tycoon and I presume there were more but I don't quite remember - that's the difference between a good game and a mediocre one.

I almost forgot about Supaplex, Mario and Mario Board Games, which are special games that I loved!

Games that I want/ed to play

Baldur's Gate - because my brother always praised it
Warcraft 3 - to finish it
Heroes 5 - to see the differences between H3 and H5
Final Fantasy (doesn't matter which one) - I'm really curious about it

2. Passing to a different way of playing, board and card games.

I don't think that each one needs it's own paragraph as they are already pretty known: Monopoly, Remy, Canasta, Chess, Table, Macao, Trombon, Machu Pichu, Whist, Rentz, Razboi, Septica, Popa Prostu, Toci (not a very known card game, I myself heard about it only in the 10th grade), etc.

In the summer of 2007 I played a lot of Whist, Rentz and Canasta, sometimes staying up until 10 o'clock in the morning. My mom didn't know what to do with me and my brother anymore, poor her.

I didn't quite like Chess, and I didn't play Table until the 10th grade. Don't know exactly how or why that happened. I still don't like Chess, but I'm pretty fond of Table - whatever its name in English is :P.

Status: obviously active

3. Thirdly, casino games.

Actually I'm talking more about Poker as Blackjack is only luck-based. Poker is not only a game of luck, because otherwise there wouldn't be a tourney, and there wouldn't be proffesional poker players. I started playing poker last year, when we got sooo bored of playing whist and rentz that we finally decided to buy a table and chips. At first, although I was enthusiastic about the idea of playing poker, I thought we'll never see a full, or a 4 of a kind, or a royal flush. But it got more and more interesting, and for a while we constantly played it until 4 or 5 in the morning. Lovely. We also started playing it on the internet, although it is not the same thing, as poker must be played so that you can see the opponent's face and decide whether he is bluffing or not. We also started watching poker-related shows! I know, addictive people.

Some interesting moments from the High Stakes Poker show:

A crazy hand:

Status: active

4. Games that require a table or smth: Biliards, Bowling, Hockey and Flipper - I love this game. Cool games!

Status: active

5. Games that you generally find at the seaside

The Horse Game - I don't think anyone knows what I'm talking about. You had to throw a ball into some holes and your horse was going further, the aim being winning the race :P. If you won, you had a free game, and I always used to won. My mother once got so bored that she didn't let me finish a race. I was playing for an hour and a half or so.

The Cars - the ones in which we bumped into each other.

Tir - first shooting experiences - for most of us :))

Status: inactive

All these being said... why the hell am I so bored all the time?!?

PS. I have written this post related to games because I've seen Raluca's post.

Although it is not really known in our country, "The Office" is a quite appreciated series in US and UK. This idea of a series taking place in an office was firstly done by UK - the series is quite wry and bitter as all the English are. Afterwards US tried to implement it and have done a better job that one might have excepted.

I would've compared and commented on these two versions of the show in detail but, personally, I couldn't watch any of the UK episodes as i couldn't understand a word they were saying, nevermind the jokes. If I had watched these episodes before the US series i might've given up, thinking that it is stupid and boring. However, I got familiar with the US "The Office" before knowing the UK version therefore I could enjoy it exhaustively without having any prejudices that it could be boring.

The two versions have the same mark on imdb, although the US one has thrice as many votes than the first - UK - one.

The Office US

The series is filmed as if it was a documentary thus it has an unique approach. "The Office" shows us real life, seen from the outside. In this way, we can see that everyone has its flaws and its follies and - maybe - we can even understand outselves and the people around us better.

All the characters have different personalities and most of them have serious problems, hence creating good laughs for the viewers. Considering the place where the action unfolds - a boring place where you go only because it's your duty - the show reveals some characters' desires to make it a funnier and a better place to work at, while the others only want to do their job.

Besides the real life facts, the show has a script and the lines are so amusing that i've laughed my head off at times. Only thing is that you have to know the movies, the actors, the songs, the historical facts, the news, etc, that they are referring to, in order to understand the jokes properly. I'm sure that I have missed some of the jokes just by not seeing a movie beforehand. For example, you can't understand Michael's impressions of Yoda and Chewbacca or the William Hung joke if you have no idea who they are.

There are, as in all series, some jokes that derive from the typologies that were created thoughout the episodes. For example, one of my favourite characters, the boss, lacks the appreciation of the people around him therefore he always tries to satisfy them all. As he can't manage to do that - being obviously impossible - he only makes the matters worse and that's why the others don't appreciate him. It's a cycle impossible not to laugh at, when outlined with good lines and great acting. This happens in almost all episodes, being molded with each episode's own story. Another character-drawing that was created is the girl that constantly tells you useless things in an incredibly loud voice, being very annoying. I find it really interesting and amusing seeing how people from the office cope with that.

PS. The boss i was talking about is Steve Carell, a comedian who can be seen playing in The 40 Year Old Virgin, Bewitched, Bruce Almighty, Little Miss Sunshine, Evan Almighty and Dan In Real Life - a movie i want to see for a while now, but don't quite find the time.

Most may find it too dry and hard to digest although it is neither boring nor difficult. Nonetheless, you can not catch the humour of a whole series by watching only one episode; you have to get used to their way of putting things and to enter the atmosphere.

Enough with the talking, you'll understand it better if you see for yourself!

PS: If you liked Office Space, you can't miss this series!

Binaural Recording

2008-04-09T01:58:00.000+03:00

Binaural recording is a type of recording using several microphones destined to replay the sounds as if you were in the middle of the action. The effect can be recognized using stereo speaker but it is more powerful when heard on headphones.

In order to understand it better, you should listen to Virtual Haircut .

Afterwards, you can enjoy the below recordings:

Matchbox
Falling Bells
Voice
The Beach

And the best of all, in my opinion: Theatre

PS: You have to download the first three of them to be able to listen but if you're more of a lazy one, just listen the last three ones. You'll get the picture. Or sound.

The Kiwi Bird

2008-04-07T00:41:00.000+03:00

For those of you who don't know already, the Kiwi Bird is the bird that hasn't got wings.

I find the video below extremely sad, although...

... it dies happy.

Some people felt so bad for the poor kiwi bird that they made another ending, a more dear one, but which loses the whole point of the first movie. It's cute though.

This short animation makes me sad mainly because no one deserves to not be able to fullfil its dreams. We can find a similar story in Babel, a movie I've seen recently. It is not quite about fullfilling a dream; it's about a teenage japanese girl that can't hear, and the similarity I'm talking about is found in one powerful scene: she goes with some friends in a club, but can't really feel... anything. Exactly as the kiwi bird can't know how it is to fly. The girl sees people around her, having fun, dancing... she tries to dance but doesn't have rhythm, you can't dance without music, without having heard a sound before. However, she doesn't seem too upset in the movie, because she had taken an Ecstasy pill so she is quite amazed by what she can feel: the lights that surround her. But the way it was filmed and directed really makes you shiver.

Tot anii '80

2008-04-01T22:08:00.000+03:00

Incearca la o petrecere de tineri din ziua de azi sa multumesti pe toata lumea. Unii vor dnb, altii vor hituri, unii vor techno, altii vor melodii lente, unii vor rock, altii vor nu stiu ce formatie dubioasa de care nu a auzit nimeni. Personal, chiar daca nu-mi plac anumite piese, inteleg ca mai sunt si alte persoane care vor sa asculte si ca nu sunt acasa, dar majoritatea nu pricep acest lucru si la fiecare petrecere exista cel putin o cearta pe tema muzicii.

Add a bit of '80s si totul dispare. Da. Am observat acest lucru. Toata lumea stie melodiile, sunt dansante, lumea uita de cum este categorisita, si incepe sa danseze. Add a bit - but just a bit - of alcohol si totul devine si mai frumos.

Pentru noi, cei nascuti in '90, merg si anii '90 din domeniul muzicii.

Madonna, Bonnie M, Rick James, Cardigans, Michael Jackson, Queen, Iggy Pop, New Order, Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode, Mc Hammer, Liquido, Eurythmics, Soft Cell, Manu Chao, Village People, Dead or Alive, Abba, s.a.m.d.

As scrie mai multe despre muzica buna de pus la petreceri cand exista multi nemultumiti dar ma cam doare capu de la acel "a bit of alcohol" de care vorbeam mai devreme.

Romania part 2

2008-04-01T04:03:00.000+03:00

Din aceeasi categorie cu primul meu "articol", intamplari in transportul in comun, trebuie sa mentionez ca observ din ce in ce mai mult cum oamenii nu numai ca nu au pic de bun simt, dar nu au nici pic de logica.

De ce sa incerci sa urci intr-un tramvai sau autobuz cand lumea inca nu a coborat? De ce sa te bagi in fata pentru a cobori dar dupa ce cobori sa astepti in fata usii pe cineva care coboara pe la alta usa? De ce sa iti faci loc intr-un autobuz iar apoi sa te postezi in spatele cuiva care s-a chinuit sa-ti faca loc si care acum sta lipit de o bara? De ce sa te asezi pe scaun pentru mai putin de o statie? [exceptand cazurile speciale - oameni batrani, cu dizabilitati si alte asemenea] De ce cand tu nu te tii de bara si tramvaiul incepe sa mearga, cauzand astfel dezechilibrarea ta, sa incepi sa urli la sofer, punand sub semnul intrebarii capacitatile lui de a conduce un tramvai?!

De astfel de oameni dam zilnic dar inca nu pot sa inteleg lipsa aceasta de rationament. Nu trebuie sa stii integrale pentru a realiza ca intai lumea coboara, autobuzul nu pleaca nicaieri, si apoi te urci bine, frumos. M-am gandit ca poate vor oamenii locuri, deoarece in Romania se poate omori pentru un loc pe scaun [ca si pentru orice altceva] insa cand sunt atatia oameni care vor sa coboare este logic ca va fi mult mai liber dupa ce se intampla asta si nu daca te inghesui si tu in deja ultra-inghesuitul autobuz.

Nici nu-i de mirare ca toti psihologii si psihiatrii au probleme la capsor, cand dai de atatia oameni nebuni.

South Park

2008-03-29T01:20:00.000+02:00

In caz ca nu stiati, au aparut deja 3 episoade din noul sezon South Park. Fiind o fana infocata a acestui tip de umor si deci a serialului, le-am luat repede, repede, imediat cum au aparut, pregatita de ras, gandindu-ma ce or mai fi nascocit Matt Stone si Trey Parker.

Din pacate, si nu ma asteptam sa zic asta vreodata, am fost dezamagita. Multi prieteni, de asemenea fani South Park mi-au spus inca din sezonul 11 ca si-au pierdut din stil si ironie insa nu am fost de acord. De ce? Deoarece sezonul 11, dupa mine, a fost foarte bun comparativ cu 12 si bun comparativ cu restul.

Sezonul 11 - Highlights

1104 - The Snuke - caterinca de serialul 24, care a innebunit intreaga lume. De inteles.
1105 - Fantastic Easter Special - Kyle, evreul, ajunge sa fie rugat de Iisus sa il omoare. Din nou. Ironic.
1106 - D-Yikes! - Mr. Garrison, profesorul homosexual, care si-a facut operatie de sex in episoadele precedente, ajunge sa aibe relatii cu femei, devenind astfel lesbiana, totul pe script a la 300.
1108 - Le Petit Tourette - Cartman gaseste o cale prin care poate spune orice fara a fi pedepsit. Funny.
1110 - Imagination Land 1, 2, 3 - De multumit creatorilor pentru adunatura de cartoons de care multa lume uitase.
1113 - Guitar Queer-o - Ironie la adresa obsedatilor de jocuri, care in loc sa invete sa cante la chitara pe bune, apasa pe niste butoane si incearca sa faca high score. Din pacate, de aici au cam inceput sa se repete, existand inca vreo 2-3 episoade in care este satirizata obsesia pentru Nintendo Wii si bineinteles pentru WOW.

Iar episodul in care m-am amuzat cel mai tare este 1107 - Night of the Living Homeless. Nu numai ca fac misto de multitudinea de filme cu zombie care ne-a acaparat dar replica urmatoare m-a facut sa rad incredibil de mult:

Evergreen Villager: The homeless first started arriving in Evergreen about 3 months ago. At first they were only a few of them, asking for change, sleeping in the parks. But then more showed up. And we realized there was something different about them. They fed off of our change to the point that they could actually start renting apartments. We knew it wouldn't be long before the homeless actually started buying homes. And then we'd had no idea who is homeless and who wasn't. People living in the house right next door to you could be homeless and you wouldn't even know. Nobody could trust anybody. Fights broke out, war! That's when I starting suspecting my own wife, who I'd be living with for 20 years, was actually homeless. So I had to burn her, in her bed, while she slept. After she died, I vowed I wouldn't let the homeless destroy our town. So we came up with a plan to get rid of them once and for all.
Kyle Broflovski: You son of a bitch! You didn't solve your homeless problem, you just sent all your homeless to South Park!
Evergreen Villager: That's right, yes.

Sezonul 12 - Lowlights :))

1201 - Tonsil Trouble - Destul de interesanta ideea, insa si-au pierdut din farmec iar finalul a fost dezastruos. Cum au ajuns ei la concluzia ca banii sunt the cure for AIDS? Poate e vreo faza anume, de care nu m-am prins, dar momentan, pana nu ma lamureste cineva, traiesc cu impresia ca pur si simplu nu mai aveau ce anume sa includa in episod si au apelat la an-tan-te. Mi-a placut ca au facut misto de faptul ca sida e mai putin cool decat cancer iar replica cu "Are you sure? I'm not sure, i'm HIV positive." este foarte ingenioasa doar ca este folosita in exces, cel mai probabil din lipsa de alte glume.

1202 - Britney's New Look - Eu inteleg ca Britney este intr-adevar un fenomen in media in ultima vreme, si cum isi au obiceiul, Matt si Trey satirizeaza lucrurile recente insa abia daca am schitat un zambet la acest episod. Au folosit-o in exces pe Britney cu jumatate de fata, imagine nu tocmai placuta. Si nu spun ca pana acum nu au avut imagini mult mai deranjante, insa lipsa de umor din acest episod, m-a facut sa nu suport nici imaginea. Mi-a placut faptul ca atunci cand Britney avea doar jumatate de fata ei o puneau sa cante si sa sustina concerte in continuare. Foarte satiric. Finalul, insa, iarasi dezastruos.

1302 - Major Boobage - Ca si intr-un episod mai vechi fac caterinca de diverse metode folosite de adolescenti pentru a se droga. In episodul de care vorbesc, era vorba de pastile de tuse, insa de data aceasta au inventat un drog cu totul si cu totul original. E interesant cum foarte subtil incearca sa spuna ca drogurile trebuie legalizate si ca este doar vina oamenilor ca le folosesc [in exces sau pur si simplu]. Se folosesc pentru aceasta metafora de ceva inofensiv dar care dat pe mana unor oameni, aparent, devine periculos: o pisica. In orice caz, acest episod mi-a provocat mai multe zambete, si chiar rasete pe alocuri, decat episodul anterior.

Per total, dupa cum spunea cineva pe imdb, Matt si Trey ar trebui sa mai incerce putin din ce fumau acum cativa ani, cand s-au apucat de South Park, deoarece si-au pierdut din farmec.

NB. Am reusit sa gasesc subtitrari in romana si de asemenea am reusit sa o conving pe maicamea sa se uite cu mine la South Park deoarece ea traia cu impresia ca ei stiu doar sa injure si ca asta e tot rostul serialului. Dupa vreo 2 episoade, fiindca nu ii plac animatiile, mi-a spus ca intr-adevar au glume bune, insa limbajul lasa de dorit. Eh. Pentru noi, astia mai tineri si mai open-minded, limbajul e un plus.

PS. In cazul in care doriti sa vizionati South Park nu mai trebuie sa rugati prietenii sa vi le imprumute, sau sa cautati variante bune ci doar sa accesati linkul asta. South Park now free. Ma intreb de ce tocmai acum...

PPS. Pentru cei care sustin ca South Park este un serial de cacat, scuzati limbajul, trebuie sa realizeze totusi ca pentru a intelege glumele si pentru a prinde umorul, nu poti vedea doar un episod din sezonul 8 si gata: iti place bine, nu-ti place, aia e. Nu. Se creaza anumite tipologii, anumite glume care se repeta dar se muleaza pe subiectul fiecarui episod si asa mai departe, toate acestea contribuind la amuzamentul episoadelor. Si asta este valabil la orice serial.

Romania part 1

2008-03-28T01:20:00.000+02:00

Incep prin a mentiona faptul ca oricat am uri noi aceasta tara, nu te plictisesti traind aici. Daca ai simtul umorului, poti depasi zilnic media de ras.

O zi oarecare, 7 dimineata, pornesc spre liceu. Astept ce astept in statie - nu prea mult, deoarece dimineata chiar se circula bine - dupa care vad tramvaiul. Ma urc si incep a-mi cauta un loc, somnoroasa fiind. Ajung in spate fiindca acolo imi place sa stau - da, inutila informatie, dar vreau sa cresc suspansul - si ma asez pe un scaun oarecare. In acest drum al meu, observ 2 barbati, nu romani dar nici straini - subtil, stiu - parca scosi din filmele de categoria B cu mafioti. Unul dintre ei purta o palarie Texas-like avand codite impletite pe ea, iar celalalt avea unghia de la degetul mic crescuta mai mult decat celelalte - sau mai bine zis taiata mai putin! Pareau foarte somnorosi, si in imaginatia mea de adolescenta obisnuita cu Godfather si filmele lui Tarantino, mi-am inchipuit ca tocmai comisesera o crima si erau relaxati ca au terminat cu bine si de aceasta data. Ce nu se potrivea cu imaginea era, insa, tramvaiul. Dupa o asemenea fapta se cuvenea sa circule si ei intr-o masina ultima clasa, ei jegosi, masina luna... Urat din partea lor pentru rusinea adusa stilului de viata. Ca sa fie totul si mai frumos si superb mirositor, cel mentionat mai devreme, va amintiti voi, cel cu unghiuta, si-a aprins fara nicio grija o tigara. In timp ce eu ma abtineam sa nu rad cumva mai tare, am privit in jur si am vazut fetele dizgratiate de aceasta fapta ale oamenilor. Eu nu inteleg, sincer, cum de nu se asteptau la asa ceva. Era urmarea fireasca a lucrurilor.

Nu ai cum sa schimbi asemenea oameni si atat timp cat se pot reproduce vom tot avea parte de asa ceva in Romania. Singurul lucru e ca trebuie sa stii cum sa te obisnuiesti, sa te feresti si sa te amuzi. Odata ce faci asta, esti asigurat.

Gandindu-ma la aceasta intamplare, sincer, imi pare foarte rau ca am ascultat muzica pe parcursul drumului si nu am auzit cuvintele magice ce ieseau din gurile lor. Dar a fost multumitor si asa, observandu-le gesturile. Daca aveam mai mult simt artistic, as fi putut face un film foarte interesant.
