movies I've seen lately
1. Roman Holiday
Yesterday I saw a documentary about Audrey Hepburn and I was a little bit ashamed that I hadn't known before what a beautiful person she was. So now I'm going through a Hepburn phase. It's normal, isn't it?
I loved 'Roman Holiday'. It had everything I expect from a movie: humor, great actors, smart lines. It was just amazing.
my favourite quote: "The best thing I know is to do exactly what you wish for a while."
my rating: 9/10
2. Manhattan
Woody Allen is one of my favourite actors/writers. And the fact that Diane Keaton also acts made 'Manhattan' one of my must-sees.
As I expected it, the movie didn't let me down. Allen was as brilliant as ever and the whole thing made me feel the air of the city.
my favourite quotes: "This is so antiseptic. It's empty. Why do you think this is funny? You're going by audience reaction? This is an audience that's raised on television, their standards have been systematically lowered over the years. These guys sit in front of their sets and the gamma rays eat the white cells of their brains out!"
"They probably sit around on the floor with wine and cheese, and mispronounce allegorical and didacticism."
"My analyst warned me, but you were so beautiful I got another analyst."
my rating: 9/10
3. The apartment
'The apartment' was on many of my movie lists. So last week I decided it was time to watch it.
I really liked it. It made me laugh and then feel sorry for the main character. It also made me realize movies nowadays are too superficial. I know, you may say that's a big cliché, but it's true. Maybe that's why 'The Artist' got all the big Oscars this year: people need to return to a time of sensitivity, they need to be able to have less and feel more.
my favourite quotes: "When you're in love with a married man, you shouldn't wear mascara."
"Ya know, I used to live like Robinson Crusoe; I mean, shipwrecked among 8 million people. And then one day I saw a footprint in the sand, and there you were."
my rating: 8/10

As a bonus: I love this photo of Audrey too much to keep it away from you.

Go Romania!
I'm not always very proud of my country because a lot of charades have taken place for such a long time. But today I felt like a true Romanian when my country finished 3rd at The Olympic Games, winning the bronze medal in Gymnastics.
I can only hope more events like this will be promoted in the near future, especially because of the fact that we have so many talented people, not only in Gymnastics or anything related to Sports, but also in Academics ( 1st place in Europe at the International Olympics in Mathematics in 2012 ).
I'm looking forward to seeing the Individual Competition. Fingers crossed!
Go Romania!
need you in my closet
Today I found myself in a crisis. Although I have a full closet, I still feel almost every morning that I have absolutely nothing to wear. So I've decided to change/improve my style and in order to do that, I'll write a post each week about what I like and need.
the seaside - part II
I just received the last part of the photos today so you can imagine my eagerness to sort them and gaze at them for minutes, trying to remember every tiny detail of the trip.
Yesterday wasn't my best day because I remembered just how much I don't like girls my age. And yes, I am a feminist, I do believe that women/girls are as smart as men/boys, but sometimes, especially after I see how off the rails their thinking is, I start to have my doubts. Anyhow, yesterday I also understood that I have some smart people by my side and that made me extremely happy and proud.
Today is my last day of laziness and I'll use it properly, I swear. After this, tomorrow I'm going to take an exam and I'll start preparing for the year to come. I'll also catch up on my reading and my tv shows and start going to the gym again ( heeeellooo, kangoo jumps! ).

the seaside -part I
I just came back from the seaside and it was wonderful.
I had never been to the seaside with a large group of people until now and I was really looking forward to it. It wasn't quite the greatest experience but maybe I didn't find the right people to spend my holiday with. However, I was super happy because I got to realize how awesome C&C are.
We spent our week in Costinesti, a small town that is always packed with teenagers looking to have fun. The sea was quite restless for a couple of days so we had to go to the pool, but it was alright, we didn't mind, especially because we jumped a lot in the water.
I'm now ready to start preparing for this year's exams.It's going to be a hard year, possibly the hardest and definitely most stressful but I hope I'll do fine.
