"... you say I move so fast that you can hardly see
you say I move so fast how can you be with me?
but my heart beats slow!..."



" Oare cat as mai avea de mers ca sa ajung si eu intr-un loc ce mi se potriveste? Si unde e locul acela? M-am tot gandit, dar n-am gasit altceva mai potrivit decat carlinga unui avion torpilor cu doua locuri. Tampita idee. Intai si intai, avioanele torpiloare au disparut din peisaj de vreo 30 de ani."
                             Haruki Murakami, "Pinball,1973"


Viitorul 2.

Viata este ca o plimbare rapida cu o decapotabila. Ma vad conducandu-mi decapotabila cu ochelarii mei de soare stelari si cu o esarfa verde crud/neagra cu libelule pe cap. Rujul rosu mat defineste look-ul meu si o calc fara mila. Vantul imi biciueste obrajii nemilos si din boxe urla korn/manson/rhcp sau o chilluiesc ascultand bonobo/rem/angus and julia stone/audioslave. Padadammm. Valizele sunt in portbagaj iar in dreapta mea sta cineva. Cineva binevoitor si iubitor. Oprim sa bem un milkshake 'cause "my milkshake brings all the boys on the yard, damn right is better then yours!".  Apoi drumul se intinde in fata mea ca o esarfa de matase gri, serpuitoare. Addictia mea nu se vindeca. Am jurat pe munca, drum, aventura si libertate. Asta e crezul meu. Fumez o blonda pentru ca eu prefer cancerul epidermoid...si beau un whiskey in the jar, uitandu-ma la cactusii mai inalti decat mine, cu flori la capatai. Cerul arde si eu cu el. Lust for life.

I'm looking for freedom and to find it costs everything I have!...




Trecutul 3.

Azi am mancat o nectarina alba si gustul care mi-a explodat in gura m-a dus instantaneu pe malul marii, la Saturn, in fata hotelului Sirena, unde lucrau parintii mei, in fiecare vara. Plecam spre mare cu o valiza plina ochi de carti impumutate de la biblioteca mea din brasov. Si citeam! Toata vara! Fara pauza! Ma rog, doar cu pauze ca sa ma duc la chioscul de langa plaja sa beau un pahar de sifon cu "sirop" de kiwi! Si ca sa fac schimb de "abtibilduri" cu echipe de fotbal/caini. Centre de interes diferite, deh, eram un copil "complex". Puteam sa citesc seara, pe terasa restaurantului unde lucrau ai mei chiar daca eram asezata la masa de langa orchestra(care mi se parea foarte cool la vremea respectiva, pana cand am mai crescut si mi-am dat seama la ce nivel inalt puteau sa stalceasca cuvintele in engleza). Imi amintesc cum tata pleznea de mandrie cand ma vedea. Costica, chitaristul, imi furase inima.

Dar ce imi placea mie cel mai mult si cel mai mult sa fac vara era sa:
1) miros teii in floare. pana astazi mirosul de flori de tei este unul dintre mirosurile mele preferate. daca stiti vreun parfum care are miros de flori de tei va rog frumos sa imi spuneti!

2) Sa urc pana pe acoperisul hotelului Sirena. cu liftul. 14 etaje. "Sper sa nu observe doamna de la lift ca sunt neinsotita de un adult." Ajungem pe acoperis. Usile se deschideau incet. Tin minte ca prima oara mi-a fost frica sa ma apropi de margine si sa ma uit imprejur. Am ametit asa ca m-am intins pe jos, pe acoperisul unei cladiri de 14 etaje. dar nu m-am lasat. Zi de zi m-am apropiat tot mai mult de balustrada. Vroiam sa vad marea!!! Marea mea. Am reusit.
Am indraznit sa le spun alor mei ce faceam numai cand am plecat la facultate la cluj, 10 ani mai tarziu.
Calitatea asta am cultivat-o cu grija de-a lungul vietii: perseverenta! I am the keeper!

Car crash

remember, remember the 6th of December 2014 because that was the first day of the rest of my life : I received the gift of life the 2nd time.

play this first :




How today changed my life.

Today I had my first car accident.
I am physically fine. No contusions. Just my ego : broken.
I'm fine, everything's just fine but I am in a shock state which I think it's normal.

I was coming back from Nancy and at some point I was entering from a small road to the highway and my car start spinning. It happened so fast. I spinned like 4 or 5 times and hit the safety bar.

But while I was spinning, I realised that I'm out of control. I was spinning, my hands were clenched on the steering wheel, and my mind was...blank. For the first time in my life I had no idea whatsoever crossing my mind. Nothing! But I am pretty sure that I've seen a rainbow and I am sure that the song playing on the radio was "Beat it" from Mickael Jackson.

Like a robot I put on my security vest, I got out of the car on the other side as on my side the door was deformed, I put the triangle 5 m away from my car. Got back into the car and called the cops. And after a car stopped, the man took me out of the car, on the other side of the road. After what seemed to be an eternity (20 minutes) the cops came, moved my car, filled in the rapport and after that a big truck came and took us (me&Mona, my car) to the service. They told me that it's probably better to buy a new car than to repair Mona. My heart was broken. This is my first car, the first important material stuff that I bought with my own savings since coming in France. It has a big emotional value as it was a gift for my parents.
While I was thinking how should I give my parents the bad news that they don't/won't have a car anymore the truck guy told me :
" Anyways it's just a big  pile of metal! You don't realise how lucky you were that you didn't hit another car/other cars. You could have been dead/handicapped or you could have killed someone."

And then it hit me : he was so right! I was so lucky! I am alive!
But while I was spinning, I realised that I'm out of control. I was spinning, my hands were clenched on the steering wheel, and my mind was...blank. For the first time in my life I had no idea whatsoever crossing my mind. Nothing! But I am pretty sure that I've seen a rainbow and I am sure that the song playing on the radio was "Beat it" from Mickael Jackson.

This was my Saint Nicolas gift for me : the value of life (of course I could have done this a different way but I like pushing my limits and on the other side it would have been less life changing, just another brick in the wall). Dramatic pose. Oh, the fans!


Latter edit (the 9th of January 2015) : MONA is alive, she was saved by my beloved Hizo, our car "fixer" since ... forever. Love, peace and respect because he has the most awesome gold bracelet ("your job is your gold bracelet", Romanian saying).

Sunday bloody Sunday

duminica, atunci cand nu fac asta :




fac asta :




si stii care e faza tare? ca imi plac amandoua. imi plac de mor!

This is when you say to yourself : it's not bad at all! I made it! Or at least I am on the right track ( if such thing exists).

People come and people go and now I embrace that! I am always open to new encounters, new travel friends. But the hardest part was letting go, not taking part!

I remember you

time after time you were there for me.
ratacirile fetei nesabuite.
I can be so mean if I wanna be, I am capable of really anything.
Can't you tell that this it's just a contest : the one who'll won is the on who hits the hardest, but baby I don't mean it!
Time after time.
I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me!
Pantaloni stramti, tocuri, parul in vant, gene rimelate si pleoape colorate.
Adori sa conduci masina; smells like...victory.
Strudel cu mere impletit cu vise si sperante desarte.
Desaga cu iluzii golita la tine in perna, ca sa reusesti si tu sa dormi noaptea.
Un copil minunat pe nume Oscar.
Atunci cand ai ceva nou si iti place de mori, numai ca nu mori ci te trece un fior de placere nemasurata din crestet pana in varful degetelor de la picioare.
He's cool news and I smell like troubles and Daisy.
Nu exista nici un miros pe lumea asta care sa egaleze un parfum Daisy proaspat deschis. Nu exista si gata!
Cel mai bun creion dermatograf de oki negru ramane tot Ada.
I won't forget you, my friend, if someone said 3 years from now you'll be long gone I'd stand up and punch him around. But I keep your memory, you'll visit me in my sleep!
Sorcova vesela, vesela o fi a a ta!
Va las cu Mefisto ( nu, nu cu super firma de pantofi care are pantofi atat de frumosi incat iti vine sa plangi de fericire, cand ii vezi) adica...Dracul...adica Toma Caragiu :D

Et voila :
