We saw live on Saturday evening Parov Stelar band in concert and it was amazing. There is something about live music that just makes you enjoy everything around you more. Or at least for me that is the case. Every time after a concert I just feel inspired and more alive then ever. Same thing after I see a play... Parov Stelar Band plays Electro swing and I don't know much about music genres but to me it has also a splash of Jazz.
This song, Julio Iglesias - La mer, sets my mood these days. It's from the soundtrack of another movie that I liked, Tinker Soldier Tailor Spy. If you get a chance to see it, don't miss it. It's not one of the movies I would normally watch but it has that something that made me like it. Maybe is that seventies vibe, maybe is London and the Brits, or just the song that I absolutely love...Anyways, oldies but goldies, and in this spirit let me show you a few pictures of some of the Vintage stuff that I saw lately.
Brooches that could add that something to a every day outfit
Wood jewelry cabinet. I just love those small drawers
A collection of French classic songs that my hubby got for me.
I'm not a big fan of the New Year. I always get attached of the old one and I hate that it goes by so fast, making me one year older. This year I say goodbye to one of the best years so far. It's the year I said yes to some big changes in my life, like marriage, leaving Romania, quitting my job and last but not least, staring this blog. It was a successful year, one that I will remember with great pleasure. And I should not forget the people that have stayed by my side, new ones and old ones (Thank you!). To sum it up I say Cheers 2011 and all that you gave me! 2012 you'd better kick ass because, besides the plans I have for this new year, I look forward to all the surprises and new challenges you have in store for me. So Happy New Year People! Let it be a good one!
And a song that I love and reflects my mood, U2 - Magnificent!
Last Saturday we decided to go out and party in a club.We didn't do that in a long time, actually it was the first time since we moved in Zurich. Don' t get me wrong, there have been parties and sleepless nights with many laughs but we always had the party at home, with our friends. This reminded me of my clubbing days, back in college, when missing a party in a club was unacceptable. Then you get a job and the working hours take over your life and you start to enjoy more a socializing gathering at a friend's house than a night of really loud music in a club. Still Saturday night was fun and we got to see how the Swiss people party. Pretty much the same as everyone I'd say, and an awesome thing is that they don't allow smoking in clubs so your clothes don't smell like an ashtray. (in Romania non smoking clubs would go out of business :D).
What about you? Are you more into clubbing, or just hanging out with your friends at a bar? Do you enjoy having parties at your house? I personally love being the host :P
The party people at Jade club :)
And a song to get you into the party mood...

Citeam azi blogul Simonei Tache, mai precis postarea ei despre teatru care mi-a dat idea sa scriu despre peripetiile mele actoricesti. Am jucat teatru si vai ce mi-a mai placut, desi recunosc cu toata sinceritatea ca nu eram foarte buna.
Sa o iau de la inceput. In scoala primara, eram prima la spus poezi la serbari, iar cand am crescut mai mare mi s-a transferat la orice putea fi vazut ca un rol. Nu mai tin minte scenetele in care am jucat, oricum toate erau in franceza sau in engleza, eram prea buni pt roluri in romana. In liceu am fost in trupa de teatru a liceului, Dramatis Personae si jucam doar teatru in limba franceza. Tin minte si acum, in clasa a X a cand am dat proba pentru a intra in trupa. Era o sala de clasa, cu proful de franceza si regizorul trupei, dl. Weisz, si ceilalti componenti ai trupei care erau prin clasa a XI a si care erau semizei pentru noi. Am fi facut orice la auditia aia numai sa putem sa respiram aerul rarefiat de care aveau ei parte. Mega presiune pe mine, cred ca m-am pregatit 2 zile, nu am spus nimanui ce am de gand sa fac, ca sa nu-i dezamagesc si am mers la auditie cu un fragment din Moliere, Les Fourberies de Scapin. Nu stiu ce impresie am facut, eram mult prea emotionata, si cred ca ce a convins a fost franceza mea si nu interpretarea, cert este ca m-au luat in trupa si de aici a inceput o cu totul alta etapa in viata mea.
Aveam repetitii in fiecare zi, inclusiv sambata si duminica cate 2 ore, ajungeam acasa franta si mai aveam si lectii pentru ca deh eram tocilara, dar ne distram la maxim. Prima piesa pe care am pregatit-o a fost "L’Augmentation" de Georges Perec cu fragmente din Ionesco, "Les chaises". Ceva absurd, structurat ca un spectacol de circ, comedie, drama, absurdul situatiei, in fine un cocteil de idei, cu muzica buna. Ce mai, geniul profului nostru a facut ca pana si eu, care nu eram cine stie ce talent sa fac un rol bun. Si ne-am plimbat cu piesa pe la diferite festivale de teatru francofone (Arad, Napoli, Iasi, Belgrad) am luat premii, am cunoscut oameni minunati, a fost genial. Asta a fost in clasa a X a, in a XI a, eram eu cea care era vazuta ca si un semizeu si participam la auditii pt a selecta noii componenti in trupa. Imi era mila de ei sa ii vad cum se chinuie pe scena, dar era si un sentiment de implinire pentru ca eu trecusem pe-acolo si reusisem. Ce viata, domle!!! In anul acela am pregatit piesa Vivre ses vies, un colaj inspirat din Paul Cornel Chitic, "La restauration des habits de Saint Augustin" si Romulus Vulpescu, "Un brave homme”. Era o drama despre eroi, foarte profunda, dar care a placut si impresionat ca ne-a adus si Marele Premiu de la festivalul de la Arad.
A fost o perioada faina in care am facut de toate, distractie, munca, ani zbuciumati de liceu si drame personale si existentiale, in care m-am format ca om si care si-a pus amprenta asupra a ceea ce sunt azi. Nu exagerez cand spun ca fara teatru nu as fi ceea ce sunt azi!!! Imi amintesc de profa de latina din liceu care imi spunea ca sunt vedeta si eu o contraziceam cu fiecare por al meu, dar imi dau seama cata incredere am capat in mine prin experianta teatru. Poate de aici mi se tragea anitipatia ei, ca prea nu imi pasa de ce mai zicea lumea…
Am dat un google dupa numele trupei si am dat peste un interviu recent cu dl. Weisz, intr-un ziar local din Baia Mare. El vorbeste ca si cum nimic nu s-ar fi schimbat, poate pentru ca, cu fiecare generatie o ia de la capat cu acelasi entuziasm…
Trebuie sa scriu despre ZAZ. Unul din motivele care ma face sa ii ador este ca se exprima in franceza si legatura mea cu limba franceza suspectez ca a inceput in alta viata deoarece prea ma defineste si face parte din mine. Au niste versuri care imi ajung la inima de fiecare data, care ma inspira sa visez ca imi dau demisia, ca imi fac valiza si ca ma mut la Paris sa hoinaresc prin cartierul latin. (je suis déréglée J)
Redau mai jos versurile unui cantecel pe care vreau sa cred ca mi l-a trimis zana mea.
Moi aussi j'ai une fée chez moi
sur les gouttières ruisselantes
je l'ai trouvée sur un toit
dans sa traine brulante
c'était un matin ça sentais le café
tout était recouvert de givre
elle s'était cachée sous un livre
et la lune finissait ivre
Moi aussi j'ai une fée chez moi
et sa traine est brulée
elle doit bien savoir qu'elle ne peut pas, ne pourra jamais plus voler
d'autres ont essayés avant elle
avant toi une autre était là
je l'ai trouvé repliée sous ses ailes
et j'ai cru qu'elle avait froid
Moi aussi j'ai une fée chez moi
depuis mes étagères elle regarde en l'air
la télévision en pensant que dehors c'est la guerre
elle lit des périodiques divers
et reste à la maison
à la fenêtre, comptant les heures
à la fenêtre, comptant les heures
Moi aussi j'ai une fée chez moi
et lorsqu'elle prend son déjeuner
elle fait un bruit avec ses ailes
et je sais bien qu'elle est déréglée
mais je préfère l'embrasser ou la tenir entre mes doigts
Moi aussi j'ai une fée chez moi
qui voudrait voler mais ne le peut pas...
Videoclipul este absolut superb. Black and white rules!!! Enjoy!
Imi place sa cred ca toti avem cate o zana acasa, care ne face sa dam in mintea copiilor desi nu mai suntem copii, sa ne savuram cafeaua dimineata cu cineva drag , sa ne bucuram de o carte buna, de un film, de muzica si care pana si in zilele cele mai urate poate sa ne redea zambetul.
