Impreuna o putem ajuta pe Maria!

Maria va implini in noiembrie un anisor. De curand a fost diagnosticata cu o boala crunta: neuroblastom (o forma rara de cancer).

Conturile - titular Adriana Sentes - in care se pot depune/transfera banutii pentru Maria sunt deschise la Volksbank Romania:

RON - RO84 VBBU 2513 SM46 4222 2790 - Volksbank - Sucursala Municipiului Bucuresti (SMB)

EUR – RO69 VBBU 2511 BU46 4222 1102 - Volksbank - Sucursala Ghencea

Am exemplul concret al colegei mele, Ioana, care a fost operata in primavara acestui an si acum se simte bine, s-a recuperat in cateva luni, aproape a uitat momentele cumplite prin care a trecut. Multumesc inca o data celor care au raspuns cu sufletul, atat de promt!

Impreuna suntem mai puternici si ii putem ajuta pe cei care au cel mai mult nevoie de noi. Daca avem bani pentru masini si laptop-uri scumpe sau vacante, cu siguranta gasim o suma, cat de mica, pentru a-i ajuta pe cei de langa noi sa isi recapete sanatatea.

Spitalul nu este loc de joaca pentru copii, iar seringile nu sunt jucarii!

Singura "grija" a Mariei ar trebui sa fie legata de jucariile de plus si papusi!

Nu sunt inca mama (nu mai este mult pana atunci), dar stiu ca nu este nimic mai dureros decat sa iti vezi familia in suferinta!

Multumesc!!!

Ziduri / Walls...

They are the witnesses of great love stories and unrequited passions, they hold secrets that will never be disclosed, they stand year after year, century after century...
Sometimes walls separate people from people... I think most of the times we should make all the efforts to see what's on the other side...
Sometimes we build a wall around us just to protect our soul and heart... somewhere there's a door and only a few receive the key and the invitation to enter...

*****

Sunt martorii unor mari iubiri si pasiuni neimpartasite, detin secrete care nu vor fi niciodata dezvaluite, rezista ani si secole la rand...
Uneori zidurile despart oamenii de oameni... Cred ca de cele mai multe ori ar trebui sa depunem toate eforturile pentru a vedea ce este dincolo...
Uneori construim un zid in jurul nostru pentru a ne proteja sufletul si inima... undeva este o usa si numai cativa primesc cheia si invitatia de a intra...

If only I could...

... turn the tears into a smile, the questions into answers, the sorrow into joy, the doubt into certainty...
... turn the pain into happiness, failure into success, anger into love, darkness into light...
If only I could...
... fix a broken heart...
... or turn back time...

Wouldn't it be just great?

*****

Daca as putea...

... sa transform lacrimile intr-un zambet, intrebarile in raspunsuri, tristetea in bucurie, indoiala in certitudine...

... sa transform durerea in fericire, esecul in succes, mania in iubire, intunericul in lumina...

Daca as putea...

... sa repar o inima franta...

... sau sa intorc timpul...

Nu ar fi nemaipomenit?

... 98, 99... 100!

This is the 100th post on my blog... I created it as a homework from the photography class... and I kept it after graduation.
Here I met very nice and talented people from Romania and abroad, I received very useful observations and opinions, I shared images and personal beliefs, I made a friend lose a bet, I kept in touch with my colleagues...
Thank you! :)

In the image? :) An antique cash register I found in a restaurant in Riga... :)

Aceasta este a 100-a postare pe blogul meu... L-am creat ca tema de la clasa de fotografie... si l-am pastrat dupa absolvire.
Aici am cunoscut oameni foarte faini si talentati din Romania si de peste hotare, am primit observatii si pareri foarte utile, am impartasit imagini si convingeri personale, am facut un prieten sa piarda un pariu, am pastrat legatura cu colegii...
Multumesc! :)

Beautiful Romania (5)

Location: Romania, Moeciu de Sus, Brasov county

I am... speechless today...

Step by Step... I Learnt...

Brick, cement, sand, stone... brick, cement, sand, stone... and so on... Not to forget work, effort, pain...
I think this is how we build our life... in time... along the years...

We are the sum of our actions! We all know a lot of things, but we refuse to apply them. Don't treat the others the way you hate to be treated. But, in the end, sometimes, why we do exactly the opposite?

I am far away from being the most intelligent and beautiful and kind and generous and understanding and successful etc. person in the world. But I learnt some important lessons so far:
- I learnt to respect myself and the others, even if I do not appreciate someone, I don't offend her/him, better ignore that person;
- I learnt to speak less and listen more - this is a point I still have to work on;
- I learnt to enjoy small things like summer rain, the smile on a dear friend's face, the voice of a friend when he/she finds me nicknames a.s.o.;
- I learnt that I have a very few friends, but very close to my soul;
- I learnt that sometimes it feels good to put myself on the first place in the top of priorities;
- I learnt to think twice before I say anything... because once you say something you cannot swallow, a broken heart will always keep the scars;
- I learnt that one of the greatest mistakes I've done was to wish to be liked by everybody and to please everybody... this is for sure one of the best ways to fail in life;
- I learnt that friends are those who say "yes" also when you ask for help and not only the other way around;
- I learnt that a smile, a "thank you" or a "please" does not hurt at all;
- I learnt not to tag anyone according to what people say, but to have my own opinion about the others;
- I learnt...
And also the things I will learn from now on are very important! :)
I am lucky to have great people around me who I have a lot of things to learn from!

Un drum, o viata, un testament

Testament - Tudor Arghezi (1880 - 1967)

Nu-ti voi lasa drept bunuri, dupa moarte
Decat un nume adunat pe-o carte.
In seara razvratita care vine
De la strabunii mei pana la tine,
Prin rapi si gropi adanci,
Suite de batranii mei pe branci,
Si care, tanar, sa le urci te-asteapta,
Cartea mea-i, fiule, o treapta.

Aseaz-o cu credinta capatai.
Ea e hrisovul vostru cel dintai,
Al robilor cu saricile pline
De osemintele varsate-n mine.

Ca sa schimbam acum intaia oara,
Sapa-n condei si brazda-n calimara,
Batranii-au adunat, printre plavani,
Sudoarea muncii sutelor de ani.
Din graiul lor cu-ndemnuri pentru vite
Eu am ivit cuvinte potrivite
Si leagane urmasilor stapani.
Si, framantate mii de saptamani,
Le-am prefacut in versuri si-n icoane.
Facui din zdrente muguri si coroane.

Veninul strans l-am preschimbat in miere,
Lasand intreaga dulcea lui putere.
Am luat ocara, si torcand usure
Am pus-o cand sa-mbie, cand sa-njure.
Am luat cenusa mortilor din vatra
Si am facut-o Dumnezeu de piatra,
Hotar inalt, cu doua lumi pe poale,
Pazind in piscul datoriei tale.

Durerea noastra surda si amara
O gramadii pe-o singura vioara,
Pe care ascultand-o a jucat
Stapanul ca un tap injunghiat.
Din bube, mucegaiuri si noroi
Iscat-am frumuseti si preturi noi.
Biciul rabdat se-ntoarce in cuvinte
Si izbaveste-ncet pedepsitor
Odrasla vie-a crimei tuturor.
E-ndreptatirea ramurei obscure
Iesita la lumina din padure
Si dand in varf ca un ciorchin de negi
Rodul durerii de vecii intregi.

Intinsa lenesa pe canapea,
Domnita sufera in cartea mea.
Slova de foc si slova faurita
Imperechiate-n carte se marita,
Ca fierul cald imbratisat in cleste,
Robul a scris-o,
Domnul o citeste,
Far-a cunoaste ca-n adancul ei
Zace mania bunilor mei.

Poezia mea preferata, am descoperit-o in liceu si de atunci o stiu pe de rost...
A fost publicata pentru prima data in volumul "Cuvinte potrivite" (1927).
Mesajul poeziei este foarte puternic pentru mine!...
