Just a song I like

And here is just a song I like, any resemblance with real persons, it is just a coincidence! I just love the beat of this song, it makes me go crazy and dance,dance,dance!

Musical leapsa

So, you want to know more songs from our love story...!!!Ok :))

All kind of mixed information

I see that spring brings all kind of very positive intentions and actions in our friends' lives. Very good! So, inspired by the nice weather, the good results that I read about on blogs, and also about the important event that is like a month ahead of us (I am talking about Easter), we decided to "move" something also. So, we announce here (very officially), that we start fasting on Monday! In the first week or so, we are just gonna give up meat, and allow ourselves a little cheese from now to then, and after that, only fruit and vegetables. If somebody has a good vegetarian recipe, please feel free to share it with me, I need it! This would be the longest fasting period that we try.
Otherwise, we don't have the car yet, but we will have the birch today. And, yeah, two days ago we took a nice walk in the forest close by and made some beautiful photos that I share with you here. This is it, for the moment.Wish us luck, cause we need it!

L'ete indien

And because I remembered this immortal song, I remembered also a particular night of my life, the night when love was alive, the night when my love was...l'ete indien!I believe that certain moments are so intense, so charged with strong feelings, that they continue to linger on, even after we left that moment. And if we would be able to travel in time, we would find ourselves in the same spot, with our love, anger, or frustration intact. I believe, some feelings, make time stop deceiving and defeating laws of nature, and they continue to live on independent of our will. That night of end of August, kept us there, in Calais, where our beatific love and joy, created an unique space that we try to find and recreate every day! We succeed so seldom...as, alas, moments are unrepeatable!
It was warm, like not many summer nights are here. I could smell the dust and the street. I was wearing a lot of white in that time, so I guess I was glowing in the night. Or maybe the fluorescent light came from my heart so much in love! The joy of being 5 cm away from the loved one, to see his sexy walk, to grab his arm, to put his hand on my face, to kiss his lips...it was like getting drunk very fast! was laughing loud and sharp, he was smiling letting me read love in his eyes! We went to the casino in Calais, and won! Almost 200 euro. We crossed over and had a very late dinner. The simple fact that we could have dinner at midnight with money won for a royal flush at the poker machines, was a reason to be jumping for joy. We drove home. On the road back, in the darkness of the roads, we were listening this song. I could feel love flowing through my veins, invading my brain. It must have overflowed, as I got blinded and dizzy with so much passion.I could feel its vibration in each and every little cell of my body. I was leaning on his shoulder, holding his arm. He was taking sharp curves to have me even closer.My cheek was touching his, my lips were kissing every piece of skin that was smelling Azzaro classic next to me. And all this time...l'ete indien! What I didn't know then, and I found out only after several days, was that...we were three in the car!

Me, the driver...

We got it!

We got the caaaaar!!! After a negotiations to the death, we got the deal! They asked 22 000 euro, which was anyway a very good price for a new car like this one. Well, I negotiated up to 20 000! There, I got stuck!! Imagine I would have liked to get 18 000!! They didn't want to go under 20 000 for nothing in the world. But the Romanian in me...hehe...and after 3 years of being Project Manager at a casino in Bucharest, under Jewish management...I kind of know something about negotiations. I knew that I wouldn't get 18 000, since they explained to me, that this was a firm car, and that they have it in leasing, so they can't decide upon the price alone. But, I still wanted a bit under their price, even though we were dying to have the car. I was acting aloof...Pascal was red in his face a I was way too aloof!! He ran after Luca who was chasing the guy's cat, and then I "cut their macaroni" like we would say in Romania (le-am taiat macaroana), and I said: So...you cannot leave anything under 20 000...? They made big eyes and answered: Ma'am, this car costs new more than 33 000, and it has only 29 000km! It is one year old!!! Me, phlegmatically: yeah, but 20 000 euro is a lot of money...especially with this financial crisis...! Well...it's pity! We really liked the car... Then, I took my jacket simulating I was about to leave (if they hadn't stopped me, I would have called next day to say that I called the bank and I can give them 20 000). Pascal just entered the living room with Luca, and he saw the long faces and he felt the little tension in the air. What happened? he asked me. Well, mister cannot decrease the price, and we cannot pay what he asks, so... Silence, silence, Pascal takes his jacket also (we discussed at home how we would talk and what), then the lady stopped us (women always crack first!) . Wait, I am gonna call the leasing guy, to see if it's OK for 19 500 (the number that I said it is our last price)! So, she called, they agreed, we are happy! That simple! Ah, and the test drive....My Goooooooood!!!! It is quite a very good car (with blue tooth for the phone, the lights turn on automatic when it's getting dark, if it starts to rain the wipers start automatically,etc,etc;etc). Pictures soon!!

Yesterday...

Yesterday was full of perils, as you will find out if you read my comments at the post called "Good news". so, about the car breaking down you will know from there, what you don't know is the part with the restaurant. I know I promised you photos, but it was soooo damn crowded inside, that I didn't want to take any. I did take some outside of the restaurant for you! The food was excellent, the playing ground very, very nice, but all that noise, tables of 10-12 people, or at least 6...where is the crisis?? In the afternoon we took a walk around, and we took some nice photos, just to add some more to the collection. :)

Good news!!

We might change the car, with this!! Oh, yes, it's black and cooool!!

Happy "Martisor"!!

Yesterday we went to the playing ground (also), so here is a little movie (very,very little)!

I was spoiled a lot, as I got a little tree that makes beautiful flowers (they are called "matzishori" in Romanian, I guess), of he is adorable!! Then I got roots of begonia and another flower that I don't know how it is called in Romanian but it is very beautiful. I got a poppy little pant, 10 yellow pansies, and...tatatataaaaaam: a birch!! Not a willow, but a birch!! The birch is gonna come on Friday (can hardly waaaait). Then, surprise,surprise, the first flowers bloomed in the garden! Today, for "Martisor" we go have lunch in a nice little restaurant called "The sunflower". I will bring pictures. I hope it's gonna be good, we've never been there before, but I know they have a nice little play room with soft rubber tiles in case the child is falling. I wish you a beautiful day, feel free to share your plans for today, and enjoooooy!!

What shall I do? What shall I do?

I need some pieces of advice from you, my pals. Look what it is about. There is a nice TV show-contest going on here, that is called "Come to dinner". Every week there is a group of four people participating in this contest. Each of them must cook a menu that must contain an appetizers, a main course and a dessert. All the other contestants are invited for dinner. After the dinner, the cook gets points from the guests for how good she/he was as a host(ess), and for how good the food was. I registered myself for the contest, as I figuered nobody can resist our "sarmale", "beouf" salad and "savarine" as dessert. They answered me back and now I should move to the next level. I have only one problem: I don't eat fish, shrimps or anything that comes from the sea! Nor lamb, phasant or stuff like that, and I am sure everybody will cook at least one dish with fish, shrimps, oysters, mother of the octopus...cause here people eat "fishy" stuff a lot!I also presume I must eat from all the food otherwise it would be impossible to grade the other contestants. If I try to eat, I am afraid I will puke. Onthe other hand, I would like to participate in this show...it is so much fun, and it would be such a nice experience...What shall I do? What shall I do?

Good morning friends!

I have been recently reading a blog that I find interesting. I don't know if all of you would like the subject, but otherwise, it is very well written. The blog is www.curvette.ro. Yesterday, I dared to make a comment on this blog! OMG (oh my God - for whom isn't used with the abbreviations that the teenagers use now days): I had a PMS-hormonal "biatch" jumping on my head, ready to rip it off, to scratch my face with her claws, pluck out my eyes...!!! And all these for the simple reason that she didn't like my comments! If you want to have some fun yourself, check out that blog!

Craaaazyyy leeeeaaapsaaa!

Thanks!

I haven't won any prizes (no Oscar yet :( for me), but I do want to thank some people who are part of my life every day, who put a smile on my face, and who just make my day better! My dearest "Poetry dungeon": I am so proud of you baby! Thanks you for you support and for your noblesse that you carry in your soul and in your beautiful eyes! "Dilimache" and "Bad girls": you are my dear friends, you conduct yourself through life with grace and wisdom. Thank you for your beautiful words, thank you for sharing! "Little Miss": sometimes you are soooo pissed, but this is just who you are and I like you like that. You remind me of "The upside of anger", a must see, in case you haven't by now! "Jokerstyle": I love your dry humour and your subtle irony (you are like a dry martini...OK, with one olive!), but mostly I like your loyalty - you are there every day! You know, they say men are divided in two categories: Ferrari's and Volvo's. Volvo's are always safe, and you know what? Maybe women say they like a sport car, and they do , for a day or a week, but for a life time...they want a Volvo! Your wife is a smart girl! "Un Om": you are such a perfect gentleman when you come to visit your friends blogs, so soft and sweet-polite, and such a tough arse when it's about politics!! Interesting combination! "Angela": your photos are so wonderful!! Your enigmatic personality and your bright heart make you a very intriguing person! "Sammi": you live us so soon, and you are ready to embark in a new adventure, to open a new chapter of your life, so I wish you good luck! All the rest of my followers, even if you don't come visit my blog so often...thank you! So now you know what I see when I look at all of you! We created a little circle, maybe it doesn't have too many links, but I would say it is a pretty strong one! We have a beautiful atmosphere, with people who are supportive, positive, polite, with a lot of common sense, and so nice! And for this, I would like to thank you all, cause you all created this, and you maintain it so good! Good job mates!

The smell of wet wood

We decided to go out today, and look what we found, just like...10 minutes driving from home! We knew there was a forest in that area, but we didn't know about this huge domain of approximately 300 ha, with a nice castle, a herb garden with over 400 kinds of herbs, a little lake, playing ground and a restaurant with a very variate and rich cuisine! when I entered the forest, the first thing that hit me, was the smell of the wet wood, mixed with the flavour of the one-day -old perfume impregnated in my scarf (Chance from Chanel, a very sophisticated perfume that I wouldn't be able to wear every day!). We walked for over 3 km, and I had to stop from time to time to take pictures, so that I can share with you the enjoyment of our eyes. Pity I can't make you feel the cold fresh air, the sweet lead tiredness that the quick cadence of our steps was pouring in my muscles. Luca was walking almost all the way with us, and when we arrived on the playing ground, he was fresh like a daisy! He played, and played, and ran, and when the time was there for going, it was a scene! He still had enough energy to kick very hard when we put him in his carriage, and even though we thought he would fall asleep on the way back, or at least in the car...guess what!! No way! He demanded for some Shrrrrrrek (with a very long "r" and very short, emphatic "k"!

The sky on our street

The picture on the header was taking in the day we came from Lille. I was in front of our house, and I liked a lot the image of the sky with a little part of the roofs of the neighbours.

Spring is in the air...!!

I went out for a walk with Luca, and look what I found in a garden! Ah, yeap, and grumpy Luca...and bee-Luca!

We found our vacation destination!!

So, here is where we go!!
