Lovely quotes

V-am mai spus ca ma plictisesc, nu-i asa? Printre interviuri, muzica veche, filme bune si neavand o alta preocupare deocamdata, am cules cateva citate interesante, care pe mine personal ma inspira. Sper sa va placa si voua ! 

1. I don't want anyone else to realize how amazing you are.  

2. If you truely love someone, you'll forgive the unforgivable.

 3. There's always that one special person that no matter thet they do to you, you just can't let them go.

4. Don't give up on love, because there is always someone who loves you...even if it's not the person you were hoping for.

5. What's meant to be will always find a way.

6. The most precious love occurs without choice and when you least expect it.

7. Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.

8. Before I met you I never knew what it was like to look at someone and smile for no reason.

9. He's not the kind of guy you date; he's the kind you marry.

10. Good-bye's make you think. They make you realize what you've had and what you've lost, and what you've taken for granted.

11. Missing you isn't the problem, it's wondering if you'll ever come back that's killing me.

12. I'm a firm believer that sometimes its right to do the wrong thing.

13.  Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever.

14. Love is when you can't stop looking at him, even if he'll never look back.

15. If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance.

Hello, summer !

Dragii mei, a trecut ceva timp de cand n-am mai postat nimicuta pe blog, dar acum am tot timpul din lume sa o fac. Nu-mi vine sa cred ca am terminat facultatea, ca am trecut cu brio de licenta si ca in toamna urmeaza masterul. Acum e momentul sa ma bucur de o vacanta bine-meritata. Teoretic, cel putin, m-am gandit sa fac multe lucruri vara asta. Practic, mai vedem...

Voi cum va petreceti vacanta/concediul? Speram sa nu spun asta, dar eu deja incep sa ma plictisesc. De parca nu ar fi fost de ajuns, majoritatea prietenilor mei sunt plecati (job/vacanta/alte motive). Vara care tocmai a trecut a fost frumoasa si plina de surprize, vara asta pare a fi diferita. As pleca undeva, oriunde, sa uit de oboseala si de stres. As pleca, da`n-am cu cine (laughing). Pana una, alta, va doresc o vara frumoasa, plina. Sa ne auzim cu bine ! :)

Letters to Juliet...

Zilele trecute am urmarit un film pe HBO, care mi-a captat atentia intr-un mod deosebit. Filmul se numeste "Letters to Juliet" si o descrie pe o tanara scriitoare, Sophie (personaj interpretat de Amanda Seyfried), aflata intr-o vacanta in Italia, care se indragosteste de orasul Verona, devenit atat de celebru datorita povestii de iubire dintre personajele lui Shakespeare, Romeo si Julieta. Ea se alatura unui grup de voluntari care raspund scrisorilor adresate Julietei de mai bine de 70 de ani, iar atunci cand gaseste o scrisoare datata din anul 1951 ramasa fara raspuns pana in prezent, Sophie devine din ce in ce mai atrasa de povestea de dragoste a femeii, care isi cauta iubitul cu care a avut o relatie cu multi ani in urma, in timpul unei vacante petrecute in Italia. Incurajand-o pe autoarea scrisorii sa nu isi piarda speranta si sa-l caute pe barbatul mult iubit, Sophie declansaza un lant de evenimente, care au drept consecinta aflarea dragostei adevarate atat de catre batrana, cat si de ea insasi.

Va recomand tuturor sa vedeti filmul. Mie, personal, mi-a incarcat bateriile si m-a umplut cu multa energie pozitiva. Pe curand ! :) 

Do it like a dude !

Si pentru ca m-a intaratat mai devreme o prietena (Cri) cu o postare pe care am citit-o pe blogul ei legata de textele pe care le folosesc unii baieti pentru a agata o fata, o sa incerc sa ma apropii si eu de subiectul cu pricina.
In primul rand, detest textele siropoase, vulgare, indiscrete chiar, si fara sens, in incercarea diseperata a unora de a ma agata, insa ele nu duc nicaieri oricum. Nu consider ca e normal ca un baiat pe care il cunosc pe net de aproximativ 5 minute sa-mi ceara id-ul, numarul de telefon, ba mai mult...sa aiba pretentia sa ies cu el in oras cat se poate de curand. Guys, inteleg ca poate sunt fete care raspund avansurilor voastre, inteleg de asemenea ca voua va place sa agatati non-stop si ca unele fete chiar pica in plasa, dar faptul ca eu nu fac parte din acea categorie de fete nu prea conteaza pentru voi, asa-i?! Prefer o persoana cat de poate de simpla, de normala si cu rabdare. Daca vedeti ca nu ma misca in niciun fel textele voastre, abandonati misiunea ! Vorba aia, daca vezi ca fata nu vrea, de ce insisti? Nu imi tresare inima din piept si nici nu am fluturi in stomac daca exagerati pana la refuz dorind sa va dau datele mele de contact, in cel mai bun caz o sa va evit la nesfarsit; in cel mai rau caz s-ar putea sa va zic vreo doua cu frumosul sa ma lasati in pace, iar apoi sa va evit pana va saturati, asta pentru ca nu suport obsedatii si sincera sa fiu am dat de cativa pana in momentul de fata.
In al doilea rand, se pare ca nu s-au imbunatatit deloc lucrurile, de la postarea mea din 17 aprilie si pana acum. Tin sa va anunt ca am dat de aceeasi oameni plini de ei si fara bun simt.
La final, as vrea sa le vand baietilor niste ponturi legate de "arta agatatului" (ironica): faceti lucrurile cu cap, fiti isteti si nu va grabiti. O fata care pica imediat in plasa ta, va pica la fel de usor in plasa oricui. O fata care e cu picioarele pe pamant, va analiza situatia si iti va da okay-ul atunci cand va simti ca e momentul oportun pentru a te cunoaste si mai bine. Voi decideti ce tip de fete cautati si in acelasi timp ce fel de persoane suneti si ce asteptari aveti de la voi si de la cei din jurul vostru. See you soon ! :)

Eat, Pray, Love .

Dragii mei, recent am urmarit un film care mi-a placut foarte mult, extrem de mult. Pot sa spun ca in momentul de fata se afla in topul preferintelor mele in materie de filme. Se numeste Eat, pray, love si povesteste despre o femeie moderna, Liz (Julia Roberts) care calatoreste in toata lumea, in speranta de a se regasi pe sine. Aflata la o rascruce de drumuri, dupa un divort recent, personajul principal hotaraste sa isi ia un an de pauza si decide sa evadeze din cotidian, riscand totul numai pentru a-si schimba viata. Inspirat dupa o poveste adevarata, acest film dovedeste inca o data faptul ca trebuie sa ne facem mai mult timp pentru noi si sa ne bucuram de lucrurile marunte care ne lumineaza viata. Filmul se incheie cu Liz care isi gaseste in sfarsit marea dragoste.

Ma regasesc in aceasta pelicula si o recomand tuturor. E genul de film de unde poti invata intotdeauna cate ceva. La final, o sa presar pe ici pe colo cateva citate care m-au impresionat:

1. "I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."

2. "This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something."

3. "I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me."

4. "To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life."

5. "It's better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly."

6. "Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions." 

7. "Having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You really need to be certain it's what you want before you commit." 

8. "Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognized yourself as a friend." 

9. "Some days are meant to be counted, others are meant to be weighed." 

10. "Eventually, everything goes away." 

11. "I crossed the street to walk in the sunshine." 

12. "Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots." 

13. "I wondered, "Why have I been chasing happiness my whole life when bliss was here the entire time?" 

14. "He was powerful and I died of love in his shadow." 

15. "The resting place of the mind is the heart." 

16. "A fish and a bird may indeed fall in love, but where shall they live?" 

17. "This was my moment to look for the kind of healing and peace that can only come from solitude."

18. "And what will I be able to do tomorrow that I cannot yet do today?" 

19. "Sometimes life is too hard to be alone, and sometimes life is too good to be alone." 

20. "We're miserable because we think that we are more individuals, alone with our fears and flaws and resentment and mortality."  

21. "You may return here once you have fully come to understand that you are always here." 

22. "When you have only two minutes to say good-bye to the person you love most in the world, and you don’t know when you’ll see each other again, you can become logjammed with the effort to say and do and settle everything at once." 

23. "If something is rubbing so hard against you, you can be sure it's working on you." 

24. "A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave." 

25. "I'd learned enough from life's experiences to understand that destiny's interventions can sometimes be read as invitation for us to address and even surmount our biggest fears. It doesn't take a great genius to recognize that when you are pushed by circumstance to do the one thing you have always most specifically loathed and feared, this can be, at the very least, an interesting growth opportunity." 

26. "What time has ever been a simple time for those who are living it?" 

27. "He was still my romantic hero and I was still his living dream."

28. "He was playing a character I had invented, which is somewhat telling. In desperate love, it's always like this, isn't it? In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding that they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place..." 

29. "Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you achieve a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't you will leak away your innate contentment." 

30. "God lives in me as me."

Exista Mr. Right?

Fetelor, hai sa vorbim un pic despre baieti/barbati ! Mi-am facut curaj sa scriu, in sfarsit. Cu castile in urechi, pe muzica lui Jesse McCartney, voi incerca sa scriu ce-mi trece prin minte. Ti s-a intamplat vreodata sa dai peste persoane nepotrivite? Cu totii am avut dezamagiri, sunt sigura. Dar atunci cand toate persoanele din jurul tau sunt constant nepotrivite si de fiecare data e din ce in ce mai rau, ce faci, cum procedezi? Am incercat sa stau singura o perioada, inca o perioada si inca o perioada...am incercat sa dau o sansa si persoanelor care nu pareau erau genul meu, am incercat sa gasesc o farama de ceva bun in fiecare dintre ei, ceva ce sa-mi placa, un lucru care sa ma poata tine aproape. Si rezultatul a fost unul neasteptat: fie au dat cu piciorul, vazandu-si linistiti de viata lor si crezand ca bunatatea mea merge la nesfarsit, fie m-am saturat eu la un moment dat si am pus punct. Variantele sunt multe si destul de complicate. Recunosc, sunt o persoana pretentioasa si dificila cateodata, dar pana la urma nimeni nu-i perfect si a fi pretentios nu e neaparat un defect. Nu visez la Feti-Frumosi, cai verzi pe pereti, romantismul intruchipat...nu, in niciun caz. In momentul de fata caut normalitatea si observ cu stupoare ca nu o mai gasesc...daca stau sa fac un calcul simplu imi dau seama ca ghinionul asta sau ce-o fi el ma urmareste aproape dintotdeauna. Sounds crazy pentru unii, probabil, dar pentru mine e frustrant uneori. Nu o sa dau nume, nu o sa arat cu degetul si nici nu o sa judec, asta nu-i treaba mea. Revenind, realizez ca unii oameni nu-si mai incap in piele de fericire alaturi de persoana draga, iar eu plec acasa dezamagita dupa fiecare intalnire esuata. What's wrong? Multe cunostinte mi-au spus sa il caut eu pe Mr. Right, sa ma duc in cluburi, baruri, pub-uri etc. Oameni buni, de ce as face chestia asta? Mai degraba l-as cauta la biblioteca, la zoo, in parc, la biserica (nu e un loc prea bun pentru a agata baieti, deci rectific). Incep sa cred ca nu mai exista bunul simt, prietenia inainte de toate, respectul, ci doar atractia fizica. Am nevoie de o persoana care sa nu se gandeasca numai la jos textila. No offence, da' nu-mi place sa traiesc cu impresia ca toti sunt la fel...Am nevoie de un om caruia sa-i placa gesturile simple facute cu drag, copilariile si nazdravaniile mele, un om care sa fie acolo atunci cand am nevoie de el pentru simplu motiv ca simte sa faca lucrul asta, nu pentru ca i-o impun eu. Am mai spus-o si o repet: da, sunt dificila si perfectionista...nu o sa ies in oras cu un baiat pe care l-am cunoscut pe net dupa doua ore de palavrageala, oricat de mult mi-ar placea si nici nu o ma dau bine pe langa o persoana, doar ca sa-i castig increderea. Pentru ca nu toate suntem la fel. Pentru ca am un dram de rautate in mine, care ma impinge sa merg inainte indiferent de situatie si sa fiu selectiva in ceea ce priveste oamenii care ma inconjoara si totodata reusesc sa-mi pastrez calmul si rabdarea ore in sir, daca e nevoie, indiferent de situatie (cu mici exceptii). Si pentru ca am prietenii aproape, care ma sustin si fara de care n-as fi reusit sa raman cu picioarele pe pamant. Pentru ca oricat de multe dezamagiri am avut, continui sa sper si sa fiu entuziasmata de fiecare data cand apare cineva nou. Asa ca, fetelor, oricat de dezamagite ati fi, nu uitati ca nu e musai sa fi fericita daca esti implicata intr-o relatie si in niciun caz nu stati cu o persoana doar pentru ca va e teama de singuratate, nu va faceti bine nici voua, nici lui. Va aparea el mai devreme sau mai tarziu.

Poti fi fericit atata timp cat realizezi ca meriti sa fi fericit ! (:
