The Lady is going "home"

Yep,"Home" means to me Madrid, and that's home since 3 years ago.
Well, I have a home in Bucharest too, but lately it's just occasionally, although I come to see my family, friends and dogs at least 3 times a year.So far, in 2010, this is the second Romanian trip.
I had great time, great weather and great food. Also great friends, whom I seldom see them.

Hopefully I'll have a smooth flight...it will be a bit long, but I just bought some David Lodge's books to keep me occupied during the flight. Thanks to Tavi for great "literary"advices!

See you soon!
Hasta Pronto!

Coco Chanel's quotes

Since I can barely remember I liked drawing , designing and fashion.
After watching the film Coco Chanel, I was really intrigued by the talent of this gorgeous woman, I "googled" and found some very inspiring(at least for me) quotes of her. Shirley MacLaine, acting as elder Coco Chanel was really impressive...

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”
“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”
“Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.”
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
“"The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!”
“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.”
“I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”
“A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future.”
“Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.”
“Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty”
“Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.”
“A style does not go out of style as long as it adapts itself to its period. When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs.”
“I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it.”
“Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.”

Aer de munte

Astazi mi-am suit parintii si fratele in masina si am pornit-o la drum, cu gandul sa mergem la aer proaspat, la Sinaia...si am ajuns la Predeal, la Cabana Trei Brazi, unde era inca destula zapada. Fotografii am facut destule, insa deocamdata nu pot descarca, curand o voi face...
Apoi am mancat o ciorba de vacuta calda si buna, iar ca desert papanasi, pe care ii ador!


Era si un catel San Bernard, foarte docil si bland, era foarte frumos si domn.


>St Bernard este, probabil, unica rasa numai dezvoltata pentru motive altruiste: călugărilor de la Spitalul elvetian Sf. Bernard au muncit din greu pentru a salva vieţile turistilor care au fost prinsi în zăpadă în Alpi. Opt sute de ani mai târziu, călugării obositi si-au dat seama că trebuie sa existe o alternativă mai bună. Au căutat să dezvolte câine perfectă de salvare şi, astfel, sa născut Saint-Bernard.( Google)

Am ajuns si la Sinaia, am urcat pana la Telegondola si am mai facut poze.Apoi inapoi spre casa...cu dureri de cap(la propriu), probabil eram super sensibila pentru aerul rece...

Strange dreams

In the last couple of weeks I had some weird dreams, what is weirder is that whenI wake up, I can remember them.
For example the most recent one was that I was surprised to go to New York, I was together with Samu and we were already boarding the plane, I remember I could see the downtown and everything in Manhatan.It was exciting! :p
I also had some visitors, actually famous ones, in my dreams, I dreamed with Michael Jackson twice, once I asked him if he is OK there,(heaven) and he answered affirmatively, not that nice was when I was talking with Ceausescu, he was screaming at me, explaining that I have to walk properly in his daily communist manifestation, I know he told me to look at the camera, as all the country is seeing me..frustrating! I hate to dream with dead people, although famous.
I wander what will I dream tonight?

Full (almost) team

That is probably magic title for what happened yesterday, when we had a great reunion in the city center, there were 13 of us present, colleagues and friends from University, some of them , well actually just Deedee(Oana), we haven't seen in the last 4 years...Was cool, but way to many people, I tried to speak with as many as I could, was interesting, we should continue this"TRADITION", as is a very healthy one.

Finally...

Today, I had a very funny moment in the underground, on my way to Barajas Airport. I was sitting, reading Coraline, when I noticed that the lady next to me was a homeless, but that was not the thing that shocked me, it was that she was snoring all the time and very strong...this lasted for 30 mins..I was getting nervous, as I couldn;t concentrate on reading, everybody was frustreted by the noise of this lady...Finally, I got off, and I boarded the plane, now I am writing this from my room, home.

Back home :)

Abia a trecut o luna de la ultima vizita, si iarasi ajung acasica.

Maine ma asteapta Boeing-ul 737-800 al Tarom-ului, ce ma va duce la Bucuresti.

O sa fie un zbor largut, aproape 4 ore(fara 15 minute), insa am carti la mine si cursuri, asa incat o sa imi tin buna companie mie insami.

Abia astept sa probez supa de galuste pe care o face mama, sa merg la teatru ( in limba romana, wow dupa atata timp de vizionat piese in spaniola), la cinema (filme fara dublaj, nu ca in Madrid .. :( -) sa ies cu fetele, sa stam la taclale si o sa aiba ocazia sa incerce jambon bun made in España.

Pana pe 26 martie sunt Bucuresteanca din nou !
