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
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

Stuff
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!

House Parade + 18th birthday
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.

Tot anii '80
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.
