The moon and the sun.

               Once upon a time, in a kingdom by the sea, there was a beautiful, beautiful girl named Annabel Lee. She was more beautiful than beautiness itself, with the blackest hair you may ever see, longer than the line of the horizon and with eyes darker than the night itself and deeper than the abis itself.

               One day, while she was walking on the shiny sand, near this kingdom by the sea, she saw a young tall man looking right into her eyes. I may say it was love at first sight, just like in novels, when their gazes united: 'What are you looking at?', asked Annabel the gorgeous tall man. His hair was blonde and his eyes were sky blue. He had such a profound looking when he replied with his charmy voice: 'At you, your highness, it is the only thing i can afford. I come here everyday to see you majesty even if i know you won't notice me, because i am not a brave knight or an inflated rich prince. I am just a poor man working for you and your parents to afford buying a piece of bread everyday.' Annabel was impressed by his sincerity and she invited him to have a nice walking with her. They talked, shared opinions, made conffesions and so on. At the end of the day, they promised each other to come back everyday to meet. And so they did. For a long time.

              As the days passed so fast, they begun to fall in love deeper and deeper everyday: a sincere and unconditional love that i doubt will ever exist again. Annabel knew that if her father would find out that she was seeing a simple, poor man, he would have gone out of his minds. So, after days passed, they had the baddest luck to be seen by the right hand of the king. When he found out that his beloved daughter fell in love with a poor man, he locked her into the highest tower of the castle, to never see Allan again, her soulmate. When the queen, Annabel's mother, realised how much the young lady loves Allan, she helped her escape from the tower because she knew how hard it was to marry a man you don't love and didn't want her only daughter to be unhappy for the rest of her life. So, Annabel kept seeing Allan until that bad, bad luck came again and they were seen. When her father discovered, he went to the kingdom's wizard and asked: ' I heard that you practice magic in my kingdom. Now you have to pay a price in order to continue practicing it: i want you to make a strong spell  so that my daughter, Annabel Lee, would never meet again the boy she fell in love with. They both say they are in love, but i don't believe those nonsenses. There is no such thing as love. If she won't marry the prince i want, then she will marry no one ever'.  The wizard understood what he had to do. And so he did. He made a spell, a curse, so that Annabel and Allan would never meet again. He cursed Annabel to be the moon that you see everynight and gives you hope and he also cursed Allan to be the sun that everyday keeps you warm and cozy. As you may know, Annabel and Allan never meet each other since then. They would only see without being seen by their soulmate .

           So, if you ever hear a crying in the quiet night you may observe the moon is the one that cries: it is Annabel, crying for the hankering of her soulmate: she is waiting for a good wizard to break the curse and allow her, even for a day, to be with Allan.

            It is said that when the moon and the sun will meet each other on the beautiful sky the world will end. So you will know when Annabel, finally, after a very long time of waiting, meets Allan.

Un vis si nimic mai mult.

                  Nu pot spune ca sunt o persoana ocupata, dar ma uit foarte rar la televizor. Iar cand ma uit, sunt profund scarbita de tot ce inseamna mass - media. Ce inseamna exact acest termen, va intrebati? Raspunsul este destul de trist, dar adevarat, din pacate: mass-media se presupune a fi mijlocul prin care se fac cunoscute persoanele talentate, care au ce oferi populatiei. Persoanele care fac ceva cu viata lor. Persoanele carora le pasa de cei din jurul lor si de lumea in care traiesc. Persoane care ar putea reprezenta un model pentru noile generatii...dar..in ziua de azi mass-media nu inseamna nimic altceva decat obscenitate, prostie si deformare a caracterului. Nu pot intelege cum emisiunile care promoveaza asa ceva au ratinguri extraordinar de mari. De ce oamenii prefera sa auda o 'doamna' povestindu-si viata amoroasa in loc de o voce talentata si rara? De ce preferam oameni care nu stiu sa lege doua cuvinte in limba materna, sau daca, doamne ajuta, reusesc, sunt gresite din punct de vedere gramatical? Nu ar fi mai bine sa investim in viitor incercand macar sa dam o sansa si noilor talente care vor sa se faca auzite. Noi talente care nu urmaresc sa se faca cunoscute in urma unui scandal soc-soc-soc. Va spun sincer, din tot sufletul, ca imi doresc sa cant. Atunci cand fredonez o melodie ma imaginez pe o scena, in fata a mii de oameni care ma admira pentru munca depusa si pentru ceea ce fac, nu pentru cum arat sau pentru cati bani am. Nu cred ca sunt singura persoana care spera la o asemenea cariera, si, din nou, nu cred ca sunt singura care este nevoita sa isi lase visul deoparte, pretinzand ca vrea sa fie un economist de succes, sau mai stiu eu ce. De ce trebuie sa ni se zdrobeasca visele cu atata cruzime de catre oameni care n-au habar ce e un talent sau nici macar nu sunt in cautarea lui? Si, cea mai buna intrebare de pe ziua de azi, de ce acceptam o astfel de societate in care esti considerat un prost daca spui cateva lucruri filozofice sau daca esti putin mai deep? De ce acceptam o societate in care daca nu arati 'beton' nu esti bagat in seama?
                 Intalnesc multe persoane care muncesc si invata ca sa ajunga la o facultate buna, ca mai apoi sa ajunga un simplu muncitor, lucrand cot la cot cu unul care nici nu a auzit vreodata ce e o institutie de invatamant. De ce munca si efortul din suflet nu sunt apreciate? De ce uitam sa apreciem aceste valori care sunt pe cale de disparitie? O sa ajungem o adunatura de roboti programati sa critice si sa faca misto, in loc sa se uite la caracterul si la sufletul celor din jur.
               Sincer, nu stiu unde vom ajunge daca o sa continuam asa. Nu vad nici o cale de iesire. Ar trebui sa ducem, in sfarsit, cosul de gunoi. Pentru ca e plin.
