Faceti poza cu maimuta …
April 8th, 2010
Sedinta foto cu zanele… Alfie a preferat sa se joace cu toata lumea care il baga in seama, si a cam somat la poze.
Ezana, Alfie & friends
April 7th, 2010
Sambata a fost o zi superba in Sinaia asa ca am facut o plimbare cu gasca, prilej numai bun pentru Ezana sa cunoasca tot familionul indeaproape si sa se imprieteneasca cu fetele. Andra si Ioana au fost efectiv topite dupa ea dar si dupa Alfie, cu care s-au pus pe joaca inca din prima clipa. Nu are rost sa mai povestesc cat de prietenoasa si docila a fost Ezana cu fetitele.. mai bine postez cateva fotografii sa va convingeti.
Zapada de iepuras
April 6th, 2010
“Stapanii nostri ne-au facut cadou de Paste ZAPADA!
Sa fim sinceri, noi ne asteptam la un iepuras, pentru ca toata lumea vorbea de ceva iepuras… ne-am interesat, se spune ca e foarte gustos si abia asteptam, insa cred ca nu au mai gasit sau a fugit urecheatul, caci din auzite este foarte rapid… dar nu-i nimic, surpriza facuta ne-a bucurat si mai tare; nici nu banuiam noi ce ne asteapta …
Ai nostri ne-au bagat intai intr-o cusca mai marisoara si cu ferestre de jur imprejur (telecabina) unde au intrat si ei si multi alti oameni pe care nu ii stiam… toti se uitau la noi, si am adulmecat multe reactii, de la admiratie pana la frica… noi am stat cuminti, si am asteptat sa se obisnuiasca cu prezenta noastra. S-a balanganit casuta cu ferestre o vreme si toti oamenii zumzaiau; se lipeau toti de geamuri, scotand zgomote de uimire de cate ori seful custii spunea “capra de munte” (ce-o fi aia? o fi de mancare? o semana la gust cu zgarciurile alea de acum doua saptamani?) si ridica degetul lui noduros catre una din ferestre.

Album de sarbatori
January 4th, 2010
Trecura si sarbatorile si am reusit sa nu imi propun nimic pompos de anul nou… macar de data asta :)))… de fapt nici nu stiu pe unde mi-a fugit mintea in timp ce ciocneam paharele de sampanie, dar nu am reusit sa imi insuflu sentimentul ala de entuziasm de inceput de an, ci mai degraba am simtit usurare. Asa ca hai ‘La multi ani !’ si sa fim cu totii sanatosi si voiosi :)) !
‘Nasa cu placa - reloaded’ nu a fost un succes, ci mai degraba un film care abia asteptam sa se termine… si eu si toti ceilalti. Am reusit totusi sa depasesc cateva limite de calm si rabdare, de nervi si frustrare si nu in ultimul rand de cazaturi.

Fusei la mare :)
August 10th, 2009
Cu toate ca prognozele meteo m-au facut sa renunt la ideea de a mai merge la mare, Iulia (sa-i dea D-zeu sanatate :P ) m-a convins vineri seara pe ultima suta de metri sa mergem fie ce-o fi - bineinteles ca dupa o sticla de vin am fost mai usor de convins. Asa ca am renuntat la a mai dormi vineri noaptea, am facut fugar bagajele si pe la 3 noaptea ne-am urcat bezmetici in masina si am fugit spre mare. Am ajuns putin dupa rasarit… Sambata a fost vantos, si oboseala s-a facut simtita, am stat mai mult infofolita si cu gura pe caini, dar duminica a fost extraordinar, vremea superba, si noi si cainii ne-am balacit si ne-am jucat, si m-am bucurat mult ca m-am lasat convinsa sa merg. Ca atunci cand nu e planuit, ne-am simtit extraordinar :))) .
In drumetie
August 5th, 2009
Ca de fiecare data cand ajung prin Maramures, nu m-am putut tine departe de munte. O zona superba, care suprima toti “piticii” capatati in Bucuresti :)). Relaxare, stres, agitatie si nu in ultimul rand probelem (ce m-as face eu fara probleme…) dar la final au ramas amintirile frumoase. Am luat-o pe Ezana si am umblat care pe unde, prin locuri stiute sau mai putin stiute si ne-am incarcat bateriile amandoua. Am fost si pana la Bodi, pana la ceva baraj (spre rusinea mea nu imi amintesc acum cum se numeste), iar duminica am fost la Creasta Cocosului.
A fost prima data cand am umblat prin padure - sau cum spune Laur ‘pe rapa’ - cu Ezana libera. Asta “mica” ne-a luat in paza, noi eram turma ei, si si-a demonstrat caracterul de ciobanesc cercetand permanent teritoriul pe care inaintam, fiind mereu atenta sa nu se apropie ceva/cineva - mai putin cand a dat nas in nas cu o soparla si s-au speriat una de alta, dar i-am spus ca asta va ramane intre noi :)).
Calator pe vreme rea
July 28th, 2009
Calatorului ii sta bine cu drumul, se spune adesea… nici nu am ajuns bine acasa si deja ma pregatesc de plecare din nou. Baia Mare cu trenul, intr-o miercuri: ceva ce nu am mai facut de mult si probabil va fi interesant, trag speranta ca in sensul distractiv. Plec cu ‘my chicas’ , usor legate la ochi, cu o tinta precisa dar cu mainile tremurand. Sambata probabil ma va gasi la Cluj… probabil ! Am ‘frisoane’ de curaj si teama, si inca sper sa se intample ceva pana atunci sa pot strange ferm de lesa si sa fiu “barbata”, ceea ce parca inainte venea cu ceva mai multa usurinta… dar inainte parca era soare si cand ploua…
Asa ca succes mie, capul sus nasico, si mult curaj fetelor !
Inalta tradare
July 26th, 2009
Da, weekendul trecut am tradat cainii pentru pisici, prieteni, familie si balaceeaaalaaaa !!!! Si m-am distrat atat de bine incat am repetat si weekendul asta isprava, numai ca l-am luat si pe Alfie la balaceala :)) .
Si nu pot sa ratez o poza din seria “Eu la cenaclu” facute de sotul meu :)))
Wien - Schonbrunn and the perfect alleys in late winter
February 23rd, 2009
…
On Saturday we had planned to visit Schonbrunn Castle, maybe not the most beautiful but certainly the most famous - we had previously bought the tickets online for Saturday at 10 o’clock. We got up pretty early, had a quick breakfast and we were on our way, because it was quite far from where we were staying. What we didn’t expect was to get there in 15 minutes. We were an hour early, so we decided to get off the subway at the Hietzing station, and not Schonbrunn station - this way we entered the Schlosspark and could enjoy a nice walk on the straight alleys of the Schonbrunn’s gardens before getting to the castle. At the entrance, we bought some maronis from a nice man, happy that we found something that familiar to us. As we expected, their maronis were sweeter and way better cooked that in our Maramures.
We were a little overwhelmed by the number of alleys and the fact that - even though in late winter - the park was Read more…
Wien - Stephansdom and the will of the narrow streets
February 20th, 2009
…
After having our lunch at Chadim’s we began our tour, and the first stop was Stephansdom (St Stephan’s Cathedral). As the subway escalators went up for Stephanplatz, we could see the Dom shaping before us, and we were instantly intimidated by the grandeur, the details and history charge of the cathedral. We took a few minutes to look around and admire the outside of the building, its towers and walls, carved with thoroughly thought details. At that time our breaths were stolen, and we weren’t able to take any pictures.
We went inside and we felt like going back in time. We looked around for a minute and then set down on the wooden benches surrounded by a still silence, even though the cathedral was packed with tourists. Read more…
Wien - orientation
February 17th, 2009
So, we’re back home, after a sweet gettaway to Wien. It was a more than welcomed trip and we really needed to run from our lifes for a few days.
But why don’t I begin the story…
We didn’t really prepare for departure - because of some unexpected and unpleasant events that kept our minds - so the first day was a wreck. We forgot to previously exchange money, which affected the start of our trip and lost us a few extra hours of Wien, and all I can say is thank God we have an international credit card. But this wasn’t our only ‘bad luck’ - maybe it was due to the date: Friday 13th.
As I was at check-in, getting ready to submit my luggage and get our tickets for the Bucharest - Wien flight, I suddenly remembered that our reservations were made on my old maiden name. I remembered telling my friend from the travell agency that if I were to change my name before the trip, I would use my old passport and settle everything like that. But it totally slipped my mind… And of course we didn’t have our wedding certificate with us, who the hell carries that around. Well, at least we don’t… and this was a real issue. The girls at the ticketing office were kind enough to help us, and changed my name on the Bucharest - Wien ticket, so that we could catch the plane, but they couldn’t help us with the ticket for our return, while my anxiety was growing.
With the return ticket issue pending, we got on the plane and took off to Wien. I got a window seat,- like aleays - so I admired the clouds from above, content that we we weren’t seated on the wings. I don’t know what happened, but once we got very close to the Wien airport, we flew in circles for over 30 minutes, and while this was bothering me, because I did not know what was going on, I must admit we had quite a view.
*bellow it’s a very angry and freezing me staring at Wien’s map
Once we landed and got our luggage, Read more…
