Imi amintesc de harta imensa, pe care "tovarasa" se straduia sa o "spanzure" intr-un cui firav batut in tabla neagra. Imi amintesc de Nord, Sud, Vest si Est, de lectiile de orientare ( la care se pare ca nu am fost prea atenta, pentru ca aici, la Londra, este imposibil sa nu ma ratacesc, macar o data pe saptamana ). Dar, cel mai bine mi-au ramas intiparite in minte judetele PATRIEI! Era o vreme cand nu ne era rusine sa ne numim ROMANI, sa invatam despre muntii, dealurile si campiile tarii, despre judetele si resedintele de judet. Mai tarziu, &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;aceste cunostinte mi-au fost de folos sa identific usor judetul de provenienta al masinilor cu numar de inmatriculare CJ, SM, IS sau VN. Dar, mai ales, mi-au fost de folos in discutii cu amici si rude, de pe alte meleaguri decat cele mioritice. Era o joaca de copii!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Saptamanile&amp;nbsp;trecute, un prieten care inca mai locuieste in Romania, intr-unul din judetele "PATRIEI", si care preda istorie la clase mai mari de clasa a IV-a, imi marturisea, stupefiat, ca a intrat in clasa, dupa ora de fizica si a vazut pe tabla o schema cu punctele cardinale, in care Vestul si Estul erau inversate. Ce stupoare! Ce soc! Mai ales ca schema fusese desenata tot de un profesor, absolvent de invatamant "superior"!&lt;br /&gt;Totusi, "Lectia de geografie" nu se incheie aici! Radeam mereu de americani si alte natii "marete" care habar n-au altceva pe harta decat scumpa lor tara! Ieri, o cunostinta de aici de la Londra, romanca get-beget, din Galati ( judet si municipiu! ), ma intreaba, curioasa: "In ce judet este Focsani?" Trebuie sa recunosc ca deja viata la Londra m-a facut mai toleranta si mai politicoasa, altfel ii radeam in nas! In schimb, i-am raspuns, fara vreo urma de ironie in glas, desi in sufletul meu se amesteca Rasul cu Plansul!&lt;br /&gt;In cativa ani, nu va mai ramane nimic din natia noastra! Bani n-avem, economie n-am avut niciodata, resurse - ioc! Tot ce ne mai ramanea era mintea, exersata la orele de Geografie, Istorie, Fizica, Matematica!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; La final, o urare pentru toti cei ramasi acasa:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GO WEST! GO WEST! ( Mergeti spre vest! Spre vest! )&lt;br /&gt;Daca il mai nimeriti...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7619238432792551106-5719359835849258939?l=mirelachelaru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/feeds/5719359835849258939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2011/05/11-romanie-lectia-de-geografie.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/5719359835849258939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/5719359835849258939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2011/05/11-romanie-lectia-de-geografie.html' title='A 11-a Romanie: Lectia de geografie'/><author><name>Mirela Chelaru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17572240329974288982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/S_Qp6bbi-RI/AAAAAAAAACs/bPiW3TT2vRM/S220/DSCN4874.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7619238432792551106.post-6786143308830058008</id><published>2011-03-26T08:04:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-26T08:11:11.757+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Romanii - 100'/><title type='text'>La revedere, Romania!</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Acum un an, un plan indraznet mi-a incoltit in minte si, mai ales, in suflet. Acum un an eram foarte fericita ca mai e putin si voi parasi aceasta tara pentru totdeauna. Acum un an, pierdusem puterea sa mai vad ceva frumos in jurul meu. Pierdusem speranta.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Astazi, dupa un an de pregatiri, ziua plecarii a sosit. Surprinzator, aceasta zi nu imi aduce numai bucurie si descatusare, asa cum ma asteptam.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Astazi, nu mai sunt asa de nerabdatoare sa plec. Pentru ca, timp de un an, oamenii din jurul meu m-au convins ca sunt atatea lucruri frumoasa aici, ACASA, incat despartirea este foarte grea.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Va multumesc tuturor ca ati avut rabdare cu mine cand imi pierdeam rabdarea, ca ati ras alaturi de mine atunci cand viata ne-a facut sa zambim, ca ati plans alaturi de mine atunci cand mi-a fost mai greu. Dar, mai ales, va multumesc pentru ca m-ati sustinut pentru realizarea visului meu nebun si pentru ca mi-ati oferit mii de motive sa ma intorc.&lt;br /&gt;Sa ne amintim impreuna de rasul-plansul care ne-a unit.&lt;br /&gt;Pentru prietenii mei: &lt;a href="http://popasuriprincopilarie.blogspot.com/2011/03/dosesc-un-sipet-cu-amintiri.html"&gt;Daniela&lt;/a&gt;, Nicoleta, &lt;a href="http://cu-voce-tare.blogspot.com/2011/03/elevi-dragi-care-pleaca.html"&gt;Gabriela&lt;/a&gt;, Lucica, Viorel, Florentina si Cristi, Oana, Ionica, Veronica, Andrei, Vera, Petrica, Cristi, Durel, Viorel, Nicu, Florin, Elena, Daniela, Carmen, Mariana si Stefan, Raluca si Radu, Marius, Adriana, Diana si Ilie, Roxana, Iuliana, Doina, Dorin....( lista ramane deschisa )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Sa ne revedem in vremuri mai bune.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7619238432792551106-6786143308830058008?l=mirelachelaru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/feeds/6786143308830058008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2011/03/la-revedere-romania.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/6786143308830058008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/6786143308830058008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2011/03/la-revedere-romania.html' title='La revedere, Romania!'/><author><name>Mirela Chelaru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17572240329974288982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/S_Qp6bbi-RI/AAAAAAAAACs/bPiW3TT2vRM/S220/DSCN4874.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7619238432792551106.post-3864766692463011282</id><published>2011-03-09T15:10:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-09T15:10:38.798+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Apel la suflete generoase</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Nu l-am cunoscut pe George.

Tot la fel de hilar, dar si de dureros. Hilar, pentru ca aceste legende urbane au un sambure de adevar. Erau niste vremuri mai simple, in care unui militian chiar i-ar fi trecut prin cap sa gazeze porcul in bucataria ingramadita a apartamentului de la bloc, numai sa nu-l stie vecinii. Vremuri in care unui idiot de activist nu i-ar fi trebuit mult pentru a fi convins sa plece la Cracanatii-din-Deal sa-i scoata din bezna nestiintei de carte pe sateni. Vremuri in care se faceau repetitii generale la vizitele oficiale si se organizau standuri cu "realizarile" comunei (adica fructe, legume etc.).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Un ochi rade, altul plange. Ca orice opera desavarsita, filmul "Amintiri din Epoca de Aur" imi trezeste sentimente contrare. In primul rand, pentru ca surprinde foarte bine starea de lucruri din acea perioada, o stare de lucruri pe care nu as mai putea sa o retraiesc. In al doilea rand, pentru ca imi aminteste de milioanele de "nostalgici" ( a se intelege prin asta "persoane fara ratiune si bun simt" ), care ar vrea sa mai experimenteze napasta comunista. In al treilea rand, pentru ca, dupa 21 de ani de la asa-zisa Revolutie, nu s-au schimbat prea multe in mentalitatea de militian, activist, primar, mancator de ra....t a concetatenilor mei.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Totusi, dincolo de gustul amar, e un film care merita savurat, cu o gasca de prieteni, o punga de seminte si o sticla de bere, cel putin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;"Eu plec juma' de ora, dar sunt cu ochii pe voi!"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;( Tovarasul militian Gogu din &lt;i&gt;Legenda activistului in inspectie&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Ta-su(militian): "Treci in camera ta si fa-ti temele!"&lt;br /&gt;Fi-su: &amp;nbsp;"Da' le-am facut!"&lt;br /&gt;Ta-su: "Mai fa-le o data!"&lt;br /&gt;(din &lt;i&gt;Legenda militianului lacom&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;"Tovarasul secretar general nu are capul gol, are capul descoperit, tovarasi!"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;(din &lt;i&gt;Legenda fotografului de partid&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;"Satul nostru are o singura problema: lipsa de electricitate.

Dar, din pacate, cred ca marti sunt trei ceasuri rele si, poate de aceea, mi se intampla numai "nebunii".&lt;br /&gt;Sa luam ziua de azi: trezirea la 6, munca de la 7 ( desi lucrez la stat, m-am dus totusi la munca si chiar am vrut sa muncesc, spre deosebire de restul de 98, 97, 96 % !? dintre bugetari). Din pacate, elevii mei n-au fost la fel de matinali, asa ca mi-am petrecut o ora asteptand sa se faca o cafea fierbinte la filtru si ascultand lamentarile altor bugetari care "munceau" ca si mine.&lt;br /&gt;Deja 2 ore din zi ratate.&lt;br /&gt;De la 8 la 10.30 munca, ca asa ii sade bine bugetarului ( un pic de efort, de ochii lumii, macar ca sa aiba apoi motiv sa se mai vaite ca iar a muncit si iar e platit putin).&lt;br /&gt;Inca 2 ore si ceva ratate, caci sarmanii elevi de clasa a IX-a, cel putin unii dintre ei, nu au sanse nici intr-o mie de ani sa invete limba romana cum trebuie, daramite limbi straine. Si, in fond, pentru ce? Ca sa aiba o diploma care nu le plateste nici facturile, nu le hraneste nici copiii? Mai bine nu!&lt;br /&gt;Dupa care, alergatura prin oras, ceea ce la vremea aceasta presupune noroi, noroi si iar noroi!

Intuneric bezna. Aurolaci si betivi. Unde? Undeva in gara unui mic oras de provincie din Europa.&amp;nbsp; Doi tineri rataciti asteapta infrigurati trenul rapid de la 2:20 pentru a ajunge la capitala. Un anunt sonor&amp;nbsp;sparge linistea noptii: &lt;em&gt;Trenul rapid numarul...are&amp;nbsp; o intarziere de 40 de minute.&lt;/em&gt; Panica...dezgust...dezamagire.&lt;br /&gt;Dupa 40 de minute de lupta cu gerul si de evitare a celor cativa cetateni in stare de ebrietate, speranta renaste: &lt;em&gt;Trenul rapid numarul....va sosi in statie peste 5 minute...&lt;/em&gt; Urmeaza o pauza de cateva secunde cruciale, dupa care: &lt;em&gt;Trenul rapid numarul...are o intarziere de 50 de minute.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picatura care umple paharul? Nu, doar inca o bila neagra pentru amarata asta de tara din care cine poate pleaca. Si nu se mai uita inapoi.&lt;br /&gt;In sfarsit, vine un alt tren, tot rapid, tot spre Bucuresti, asa ca cei doi tineri urca, sperand ca vor prinde avionul spre o alta capitala, cu adevarat europeana.&lt;br /&gt;Daca credeti ca povestea se incheie aici, daca v-ati plictisit de lamentarile mele, stati sa vedeti continuarea: Bucuresti - Aeroportul Baneasa - Cursa Blueair. Sau, mai bine zis, CURSELE Blueair! Pentru ca, la aceeasi ora, erau programate sa decoleze 3 curse, toate full, asa ca la controlul vamal era o coada infernala. Dupa mai bine de o ora de stat la coada, cei doi tineri isi iau inima in dinti si gentile in mana si se indreapta spre controlul de securitate. Cand sa ajunga la ultima etapa, o duduita de la compania concurenta incearca sa strecoare cativa pasageri care mai aveau inca 30 de minute pana la plecare, in timp ce tinerii mei depasisera deja ora decolarii. Toata lumea se agita, dar sunt consolati ca nu pleaca avionul fara ei. Intr-adevar, nu a plecat. Dar a plecat cu 45 de minute intarziere. Si asta pentru ca ne lipseste infrastructura, dar vrem sa facem cati mai multi bani. Suntem surprinzatori, dar si stupizi. Orice european ar fi socat ( iar putinii care vin si au curajul de a testa transportul aerian roman, chiar sunt socati!) sa vada o mare de oameni inghesuiti, calcandu-se in picioare, transpirati, epuizati, luptand pentru un loc in avion ca pentru un sul de hartie igienica pe vremea lui Ceasca.

Piesa &lt;i&gt;Fericire conjugala &lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;a lui Cehov,&amp;nbsp;la Teatrul Municipal din Focsani. O comedie placuta, intr-o interpretare surprinzator de buna. Nu mai vazusem actorii din Focsani de mult timp si ramasesem cu o impresie gresita. Sau poate ca de data aceasta s-au straduit mai mult.&lt;br /&gt;Aceasta seara mi-a amintit de toate spectacolele la care am fost, ca elev, student sau profesor. Dintre toate, cel care va ramane in memoria mea si peste cateva zeci de ani este &lt;i&gt;ALEX si MORRIS&lt;/i&gt;, o piesa pe care am vazut-o la Teatrul din Focsani si care i-a avut ca interpreti pe Stefan Iordache si Mitica Popescu.&lt;br /&gt;O piesa si o interpretare de zile mari. O ultima reprezentatie a lui Stefan Iordache la care am asistat. O piesa cat o viata. Si viata ca o scena. Umor si drama, ras si plans, la un sanatoriu unde cei doi batrani s-au retras ca sa moara. Si acolo au si murit, dar nu inainte de a lupta cu toata forta impotriva destinului si pentru prietenie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mari actori care nu mai sunt. Actori asa cum nu vor mai fi niciodata. Fantome ale trecutului pe care, din pacate, copiii nostri nu le vor mai cunoaste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Slideshow image" src="http://www.teatrulmic.ro/photo/alexmor/DSC_0169.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O piesa si o viata.

Ideile autorului mi-au trezit din somn monstrii. Si, poate, daca incetez sa le neg existenta, voi putea trai mai linistita si voi putea gasi fericirea mult dorita.&lt;br /&gt;De ce suntem noi &lt;i&gt;Tara posibilului&lt;/i&gt;? Pentru ca ne petrecem 24 de ore pe zi, 7 zile pe saptamana, discutand si analizand posibilul, fara sa ne apucam vreodata de punerea lui in practica. Palavragim, fara rost, ne exprimam punctele de vedere, ne declaram pro sau contra fara a avea habar despre problema in discutie, ne alaturam unei tabere manati de sentimente si nu de ratiune. Fie ca e vorba de celebrii comentatori sau "analisti", fie ca e vorba de oameni simpli, noi toti PALAVRAGIM. Fara rost, fara bun simt, fara finalitate. Zi de zi, ceas de ceas, orice om din ROManica este pregatit sa-ti dea un sfat, sa-ti spuna punctul lui/ei de vedere, sa te consilieze. Si facem asta fara retinere, fara rusine, fara pregatire.&lt;br /&gt;Un exemplu? Emisiunile de "stiri" unde invitatii sunt incurajati sa comenteze, timp de 1-2 ore cat dureaza programul, mai multe subiecte de "actualitate", fara legatura tematica intre ele. Intr-o tara normala, cu oameni normali si de bun simt, orice invitat ar refuza sa se aventureze in discutii care nu au nici o legatura cu pregatirea sa profesionala sau cu informatiile pe care le detine la acel moment. Dar nu la noi! In ROManica, tara tuturor "palavragelilor", nimeni nu tace! Toata lumea vorbeste, chiar daca sunt absolut pe langa subiect.&lt;br /&gt;Nu m-ar deranja atat de mult, pentru ca pot oricand sa schimb canalul. Dar te intalnesti cu aceasta situatie zi de zi, la munca, pe drum, la piata, la posta, la banca, la biserica etc. Si nu mai pot sa tac.&lt;br /&gt;Asa ca incerc, macar pe aceasta cale, sa va rog: OPRITI PALAVRAGEALA! INCEPETI MUNCA! Nu mai dati sfaturi, treceti la munca adevarata! Doar asa veti putea salva ce-a mai ramas bun din tara aceasta.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7619238432792551106-6317223148139232777?l=mirelachelaru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/feeds/6317223148139232777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2010/11/impresia-2-din-romanica-palavrageala.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/6317223148139232777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/6317223148139232777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2010/11/impresia-2-din-romanica-palavrageala.html' title='Impresia 2 din ROManica - PALAVRAGEALA'/><author><name>Mirela Chelaru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17572240329974288982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/S_Qp6bbi-RI/AAAAAAAAACs/bPiW3TT2vRM/S220/DSCN4874.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7619238432792551106.post-4924120731744316838</id><published>2010-11-21T21:38:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-11-21T21:41:54.666+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Romanii - 100'/><title type='text'>Impresia 1 din ROManica - Mersul cu TRENUL</title><content type='html'>Noica spunea ca suntem cea mai bogata tara la nivelul posibilului. Cu realitatea, treaba sta putin diferit. Adica n-avem nimic in comun cu ea. Visam la Europa, dar nu facem nici un efort sa-i ajungem din urma, nici macar la lucruri esentiale, cum ar fi respectul fata de ceilalti calatori in mijloacele de transport public.&lt;br /&gt;Sa va povestesc: plecasem, dupa cum va zisei, la capitala, cu treburi importante, si, pentru ca sunt un sofer incepator si panicos, am lasat masina acasa si am luat trenul. La dus, pentru ca ora era matinala, toata lumea dormea. Asa ca am avut parte de o calatorie linistita. La intors, in miezul zilei, lucrurile s-au schimbat. Trenul plin cu calatori din toata Moldova, care se intorceau acasa sau mergeau in vizita la rude. In fata mea, doua cucoane cu sacose imense, pline cu bulion si faina, pe care le indeasa agitat sub scaun sau pe culoar, blocand astfel libera circulatie a celorlalti pasageri, dar spulberandu-mi si ultima speranta ca voi putea sa profit de cele trei ore de calatorie pentru a ma relaxa.&lt;br /&gt;Cu cateva minute inainte de plecarea trenului, urca si un tanar intarziat, care ia loc langa mine. Nenorocitul nu stia la vremea aceea ce avea sa-l astepte. Ia loc, timid, si da sa-si scoata din geanta laptopul pentru a omori timpul pana la destinatie. Deodata, una dintre cucoane sare ca arsa: "Vai, draga, dar te iradiezi si n-o sa mai poti face copii. Mai bine inchizi calculatorul si stai de vorba cu noi, pentru ca suntem simpatice." Respectuos si prea timid ca sa dea o replica, tanarul inchide laptopul si il pune la loc in geanta.&lt;br /&gt;Ce-a urmat? Cei care ati avut "placerea" de a calatori cu trenul in Romania banuiti urmarea acestei istorisiri. Eu, fiind inspirata si prefacandu-ma ca ascult muzica in casti, am scapat. Dar sarmanul baiat...ce cosmar, ce oroare! Timp de trei ore, cat am calatorit impreuna, una dintre cucoane a vorbit in continuu, impartasindu-si "vasta" experienta de viata si dand sfaturi tanarului nefericit, iar cealalta a dormit. Pana pe la Buzau, cel putin, cand s-a trezit, a scos o punga de seminte pestrite (apropo, am facut alergie la aceste seminte si la cei care le crantzane in public). Si, in timp ce prima cucoana continua sa-l instruiasca in ale vietii pe vecinul meu de bancheta, amandoua s-au apucat de spart seminte. Poate ca sunt prea "sensibila", dar astfel de gesturi le consider semne clare de proasta crestere. Si de mitocanism. In final, trenul a ajuns la Focsani si am coborat. La plecare, am spus un politicos "La revedere" si "Calatorie placuta", lasandu-i pe cei trei sa se "bucure" in continuare de mersul cu trenul.&lt;br /&gt;Pentru amatori, transportul public nu inseamna sa faci public tot ce-ti trece prin cap pe parcursul calatoriei. Public nu inseamna sa-i fortezi si pe altii sa asculte ce iti trece tie prin cap.

I am a solar person, I love the heat and the light. Give me 40 degrees centigrade and I am in the seventh heaven! Unfortunately, in Romania, summer doesn't last forever and, especially this year, it is said to be followed by the worst winter ever.&lt;br /&gt;So, let's enjoy the last warm sunny days of October and think about the beautiful days to come - next summer, of course. Because, as for me, winter is another challenge I have to overcome, and I promise I will.&lt;br /&gt;The rest is foggy: my job is no longer interesting, I hate most of my colleagues and I can't wait to never see them again! A joke? Maybe! If you could see me, I might be laughing right now...or not! But I know they are dying to get rid of me.&lt;br /&gt;Let me explain you why: &lt;br /&gt;1. First of all, I have decided to move to another country, where they know the meaning of common sense and civilisation.&lt;br /&gt;2. Secondly, I have an English teaching job at a "prestigious" college in Focsani.&lt;br /&gt;3. Thirdly, they have made a list with people to replace me once I am gone. I hear the higher offer will be declared the winner. Like an auction, only for the wrong reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/TL_PDx0w1HI/AAAAAAAAAHg/6GU03h6cKnM/s1600/08-01-17_money8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ex="true" height="244" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/TL_PDx0w1HI/AAAAAAAAAHg/6GU03h6cKnM/s320/08-01-17_money8.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Because that is how things work in Romania: you have the money, you have it ( and by it I mean a job that you want, but you are not necessarily qualified to do ). So, I can only wish the candidates "Good luck" and "Good money", 'cause they will need it.&lt;br /&gt;I will keep you informed about the winner. Maybe it will turn out to be someone good to my students, 'cause I know they will miss me the most. A big hug for them and many, many good marks until I am gone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/TL_PJACja2I/AAAAAAAAAHk/ezliZ0HVgCI/s1600/monkey-hug-monkeys-2816889-434-392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ex="true" height="289" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/TL_PJACja2I/AAAAAAAAAHk/ezliZ0HVgCI/s320/monkey-hug-monkeys-2816889-434-392.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a great day and don't come to Romania unless absolutely necessary!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7619238432792551106-1801902611572363257?l=mirelachelaru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/feeds/1801902611572363257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2010/10/morning-is-here.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/1801902611572363257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/1801902611572363257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2010/10/morning-is-here.html' title='Morning is here!'/><author><name>Mirela Chelaru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17572240329974288982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/S_Qp6bbi-RI/AAAAAAAAACs/bPiW3TT2vRM/S220/DSCN4874.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/TL_O3lEzI1I/AAAAAAAAAHc/4Lz6t9VqR2k/s72-c/happy_sun.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7619238432792551106.post-1766897935781040769</id><published>2010-10-18T17:37:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2010-10-18T17:37:47.045+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Sweet October...</title><content type='html'>Nostalgic...thoughtful...and thankful for those wonderful moments spend in Bucovina...&lt;br /&gt;Been there before, a thousand times, but every time it's different.

First, the final language exams at the school I teach. Total rubbish! Never in my entire life have I heard of such a stupid evaluation: teachers were forced by the Ministry of Education to give good marks even if the students weren't able to speak any English at all.&lt;br /&gt;Then, moving house, packing and unpacking. I still have some of my stuff stuck in plastic bags. But I figure I will open them some time during the summer ( hopefully, during the summer of 2010, but who knows?)&lt;br /&gt;What else? Well, going to school every other day and contributing to the welfare of the institution, fighting with depression (it's back in fashion, so I must have it), fighting with the medical insurance system from my lovely country and almost losing my mind in the process, stuff like that.&lt;br /&gt;What's new? I'm going to a marriage celebration on Saturday and I hope this time next year I won't be here to celebrate anymore...Maybe I'll be in London. Yes, London seems like a better place to live and die, to love and hate, to save and to spend - money, of course!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7619238432792551106-144747860391435133?l=mirelachelaru.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/feeds/144747860391435133/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2010/07/back-fromblog-holiday.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/144747860391435133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7619238432792551106/posts/default/144747860391435133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirelachelaru.blogspot.com/2010/07/back-fromblog-holiday.html' title='Back from...&quot;blog-holiday&quot;!'/><author><name>Mirela Chelaru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17572240329974288982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snO27Ir_-kc/S_Qp6bbi-RI/AAAAAAAAACs/bPiW3TT2vRM/S220/DSCN4874.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7619238432792551106.post-7508413112130765245</id><published>2010-05-30T23:13:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2010-05-30T23:13:58.697+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='holidays'/><title type='text'>Bulgaria, afterwards...</title><content type='html'>Disappointed?

I sometimes envy my colleagues that have the time and/or the money to treat themselves with a visit to the hairdresser's every week. It must be wonderful to live just to look nice and spend money.
