It’s all about the Christmas spirit!

I’m so excited! :D Christmas is so near! There won’t be many gifts this year, but that’s not important. It’s all about that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you step outside into the biting cold, and you realize that it could start snowing any moment, or when you go to the supermarket and you get to that section where you see all kinds of Christmas decorations of all possible & impossible shapes & colors, and artificial Christmas trees already decorated, reminding you that the most important holiday of the year is right around the corner. At that point, you forget, even for 2 seconds, about all your problems, your lack of money and/or time and all the shit that’s happened to you these past 11 months.

Well… The 2 seconds are up so enough babbling about Christmas which is still over a month away! A lot can happen during this remaining time…
I have to prepare for competitions and contests and at the same time study English and French, and then more English and more French, preparing for the admission exams next summer, cause I really want to get into that damned Foreign Language & Literature university and study English and Japanese at a high level.

Wish me luck and let me be the first to wish you a very Merry Christmas! cause I don’t know when I’ll be seeing you again ;)

I still…

Wanting you the way I do

I only wanna be with you

And I would go to the ends of the earth

Cause darlin’ to me that’s what you’re worth…

“…she has an amazing voice … and she wants to go to Bucharest and study there and then go to college in the U.S. and study acting and psychology…”

“…she wants to go to Princeton and she’s working her ass out to succeed and if she can’t make it, the rest of us have absolutely no chance! But she has a dream, which is very likely to come true and she’s trying really hard to make it and you have no idea how much I admire her! She’s my “Rory”! …”

“That human being should understand once and for all that I’m not like the others who keep letting her down! That human being should understand that I’ll always be with her, no matter what she does, no matter what happens…”

Do you remember those lines? You’ve read them before…

What happened to all those dreams and hopes?

I still have that puppy you gave to me on my birthday…

I still remember the days and nights we cried together…

Do you remember that time when we recorded our voices on that magnetic tape? That was on another birthday… I sang a Romanian song which you liked and the chorus from “Fix You” which you said sounded awful and you sang “Hold You Down”… I still have it…

I can’t watch a Gilmore Girls episode without remembering your face, your mimic, your gestures…

I still cry when I think of all we’ve been through…

I still love you…

I still want you…

I still want to know why…

I’m sorry… I’m just being selfish, aren’t I?

makes me wonder…

I was listening to the radio the other day (as I do almost everyday…) and suddenly, With You started playing (Chris Brown, in case you were wondering…) and I thought of how much I liked that song a few weeks ago and now it just doesn’t seem that special anymore… and I thought nothing lasts forever, not even feelings… and this made me think of how the world would look like in a hundred/thousand/million years from now….

and I suddenly thought of Al Gore’s documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, about global warming and stuff (which really freaked me out – but a must see nonetheless) and thoughts started racing at the speed of sound (as they usually do, and it’s so hard to keep up… :-<)

and I thought…

if things go on like this, in a xxxxxx years from now, all the plants, vegetable, fruits that we depend on will have disappeared… animals too… soon, there will be no more life on earth… and all because of the almighty homo sapiens who never knew how to benefit from nature without destroying it… and Mother Earth will return to the cycle that began billions of years ago… at first there was water… and then things started evolving from it… only this time, it’ll probably take millions of years for the planet only to return to normal… but what will normal be like? cause this time, it’s not only earth and water, continents and oceans…. cause us humans are kind enough to leave so many things behind, so much concrete, metal and other materials that even if they eventually dissolve, it will have serious consequences…  if the evolution cycle starts all over again, it may not be humans the ultimate species…

or maybe humans will not disappear at all and we’ll be living in a world similar to the one Isaac Asimov invisioned in his novel The Caves of Steel.

I saw another documentary (if I may call it so) on TV, about a team of researchers and engineeres who think that the best solution to the global warming issue is the artificial tree (which is actually a huuuuge panel) who is supposed to absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then deposit it, most likely, deeply under the sea… and then what? what happens to all this CO2 that is gathered there? who guarantees that it will remain safely isolated there? maybe it’ll form another layer in the Earth’s core and have other devastating effects…   the Earth’s surface keeps moving and changing and maybe someday (thousands of years from now), at the wrong move all of that CO2 could burts out, just like a biiig burp from the Earth’s stomach… and then what?

yeah… I just let my imagination run wild so I’ll try to stop here… :D

Hufflepuff recommends…

Those who know me know that throughout these past six months I’ve developed a real obsession for Japan, the Japanese culture, the language and, of course, the Japanese boys/men (who are definitely not short!). And because of my hormones, but also my curiosity, I’ve managed to watch many, many jdramas (and animes, but I don’t wanna get into that right now) and I’ve really grown to like this part of their culture, because every jdrama (which is usually 9 to 12 episodes long) approaches themes that appeal to everyone and tries to convey a certain message and even teach us valuable lessons (although I’ve yet to discover that in Honey & Clover or Kurosagi :D )

But among all the dramas, there was one that surpasses them all. And the title? 1Litre Of Tears (Original Title: Ichi Rittoru no Namida)

1 Litre of Tears is a Japanese television drama for Fuji Television about a girl who was diagnosed with an incurable degenerative disease at 15, but was able to continue her life until her death at the age of 25.
The drama is an adaptation of the diary of a Japanese girl named Aya Kitō, who suffered from spinocerebellar ataxia. She began keeping a diary at the suggestion of her doctor, and continued to write until she could no longer hold a pen. The diary, titled 1 Litre no Namida, was published shortly after her death.”  (wikipedia)
It’s definitely a must see, for everyone. It’ll make you laugh, it’ll make you cry (a lot), it’ll teach you that life is the most precious gift you’ll ever receive. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

“People who can live should live on no matter what. No matter what happens, no matter how painful it is.”

“Try putting your hands against your chest. Dokidoki, dokidoki, you’ll hear that sound.
My heart is beating.
I’m happy.
I am living.”

(1 Litre of Tears SP,  Kioku fansubs)

Past, present or future?

“I don’t care who you are

Where you’re from

What you did

As long as you love me”

Backstreet Boys – As Long As You Love Me

 

I’ve seen several movies in which the guy tells the girl (or viceversa) that he doesn’t care about her past, what she’s done, where she’s been etc… and that he only cares about the present and the future, and what their lives would be like from then on. And I guess he’s right. Nobody’s perfect, and we’ve all done things we’re not happy about and we’d like to forget, but isn’t that just running away? After all, the things we did made us who we are today, so if he doesn’t care about her past, is like saying he ignores parts of her.

Instead of ignoring one’s past, even if we believe that’s for everyone’s best, it’s best to know about it and accept it, because that’s what made us who we are today…

guess who’s back…

It’s been a while since I last payed a visit to my… online diary ( /:) ) and I know I’m always late & lazy, but that’s in my DNa, I can’t help it :D ( considering the fact that I was supposed to be born at the end of February and I was 2 weeks late :D ).

Anyways, I’m here now and I intend to make up for all the time lost, so I put on my glasses (yeah…need them from time to time), put the laptop on my knees and here I go!

Hello world!

I like pinkyrabbit better :-D   my family used to to call me Bunny when I was little and obedient, but I think that’s too “cutesy-cutesy” so I chose rabbit :-D as for pinky… there are various reasons for that and I have no intention of enumerating them right now…

I change my mind a lot…

It usually takes me at least 30 minutes to write an entry, no matter how short it is, cause I like to take my time and choose my words carefully, as well as the thoughts I’m about to share… don’t know if it’s actually working…

Most people say that regrets are “bad”, and “there’s no use crying over spilt milk”, and although I often agree with that saying, I also think that regrets are a sort of proof that we’re growing up… by regretting something, we admit that we made a mistake, but we move on and make sure that we don’t repeat that mistake.

I like to write about many things in the same entry that aren’t related in any way… doesn’t mean it’ll always be this way :-P

that’s about it for now ;)
