"No heart-rending experience, no conflict, no defeat, no surrender leaves any bitterness in my soul. All that I have endured, submitted to, all that has either gladdened or saddened my days seems but to strengthen that light, nor do I ever feel any desire to hit back at those who harm me, my one and only wish is that they should understand the sad unfruitfulness of all hate . . ."
--Queen Marie of Romania, The Story of My Life

"There are tears beneath everything, and if humanity would understand that there is so much more suffering than real wickedness in the world, they would be kinder to each other, more helpful, less impatient, less indifferent, less critical. But we have no time... we hurry, hurry, press forward and do not delve deeply enough to realize the cause or source whence all the harm, the sadness, the strife comes."
-- Queen Marie, The Story of My Life

"But each man must work out his own salvation; it is only by living that we learn to live. Another's experience seldom helps us; step by step we must fight our own battles, solve our own difficulties, scramble out of the holes and traps into which we fall. My mother's experience could not be mine, nor mine my children's. We are one and all solitary wanderers in spite of the love we meet along the way...."
-- Queen Marie, The Story of My Life

"She was evidently oppressed by her isolation, and she was longing to express herself, to share her impressions with someone, to open her heart."

To Everything There Is A Season

Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:33:35 GMT

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

To everything there is a season, and
a time to every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, and
a time to die;
a time to plant, and
a time to pluck up
that which is planted;

A time to kill, and
a time to heal;
a time to break down, and
a time to build up;

A time to weep, and
a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and
a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and
a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and
a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and
a time to lose;
a time to keep, and
a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and
a time to sow;
a time to keep silence, and
a time to speak;

A time to love, and
a time to hate;
a time of war; and
a time of peace

Fericirea te indulceste, incercarile te intaresc, tristetea te face mai uman, greselile te smeresc, succesul te mentine in forma, dar numai Dumnezeu te face sa mergi mai departe.

Translation: Happiness makes you sweet, trials make you stronger, sadness makes you more human, mistakes make you humble, success keeps you in shape, but only God makes you keep on going.

Every rainbow that I see signifies that my life is going to change in very different ways, that a new phase of my life will be begin. The rainbows separate the different phases of my life like different chapters in a book.

Mihai Eminescu

Somnoroase păsărele...

Somnoroase păsărele
Pe la cuiburi se adună,
Se ascund în rămurele -
Noapte bună!

Doar izvoarele suspină,
Pe când codrul negru tace;
Dorm şi florile-n grădină -
Dormi în pace!

Trece lebăda pe ape
Între trestii să se culce -
Fie-ţi îngerii aproape,
Somnul dulce!

Peste-a nopţii feerie
Se ridică mândra lună,
Totu-i vis şi armonie -
Noapte bună!

Romanian language history

Wed, 22 Aug 2007 04:58:56 GMT

First of all, I really like being able to write in my own journal, but what I love the most is to make it versatile, about any subject!! So I found this interesting website, and I will write what is written in it. :-)))

http://www.omniglot.com/writing/romanian.htm

Romanian is a Romance language spoken by about 24 million people in Romania, Moldova and Ukraine and others. Romanian retains a number of features of Latin, such as noun cases, which other Romance languages dispensed with a long time ago. Romanian contains many words taken from the surrounding Slavic languages, and also from French, Old Church Slavonic, German, Greek and Turkish.

Romanian first appeared in writing during the 16th century mainly in religious texts and other documents. The earliest known text in Romanian dates from 1521 and is a letter from Neacşu of Câmpulung to the mayor of Braşov. Neacşu wrote in a version of the old Cyrillic alphabet similar to the one for Old Church Slavonic, and which was used in Wallachia and Moldova until 1859.

From the late 16th century a version of the Latin alphabet using Hungarian spelling conventions was used to write Romanian in Transylvania. Then in the late 18th century a spelling system based on Italian was adopted.

Old Romanian alphabet

This version of the Latin alphabet was used during the transition from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabets. It is still used, though mostly in church writings.

Cyrillic alphabet for Romanian (16th century - 1860)

I remembered that last year at about this time, there was a competition called Hair World 2006 in Moscow. I don't think there was one this year, but I really liked it from what I saw on the website. I found out about it from the Romanian News that we have on satellite... Anyway, I really liked it and wanted to go see it!!!

I really like the hair colors and the styles. Of course, I didn't like every single hairstyle, but these are some of the ones that I liked. I wanted to post this entry because I just felt like writing something more creative and putting some nice pictures...

Writer's Block: Vacation Time

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 20:41:34 GMT

What was your most memorable vacation, and why?

This summer was definitely the most memorable. Even though I had many problems, such as with my pen pal, or getting transportation back home, I still enjoyed it!! I loved making my own decisions, and I proved to myself and everyone else that I can make good decisions by myself, without the help of anyone else. My relatives in Romania were very surprised and couldn't believe their ears when they heard that I traveled by myself. They thought I am still just a naive girl who has to be babysit ted. It's the truth, I am not making it up! They really did think that I am un capable of making my own decisions!! Anyway, I enjoyed going by myself in various cities, taking pictures, going wherever I wanted to, and being treated with respect and like a guest. It was very relaxing and I feel as if I look differently at the world now, as if my mind has expanded. I am glad because of these changes. I think that I am more optimistic than before, but I also believe more in myself. I am glad that I got to travel by myself!! Even if sometimes I was a bit lonely, it was still a very good experience. I just wished sometimes that I could have shared more the experience that I had. But nonetheless, it was good because I somehow found a part of myself. It was interesting seeing that many people do not want to live in the US. Even though it is the greatest place on Earth, many people want to live somewhere else. They are more concerned with being happy, rather than being super rich. Many people are happy with their simple lives, and I could see why. I understood why many times I don't like it here, why I myself enjoy myself more in Europe. It is so strange, isn't it? It was nice seeing people perfectly happy with a simple job that gave enough money, and not wanting to be doctors or lawyers just because they are rich and they get more prestige. They were happy just working for a simple company or something else. It was nice to see that there are people in the world who are optimistic and enjoy life, that there is a world outside of the gray one that my father often times lives in. The world is dangerous, but there is much good also. It is sad that some people do not see this, like my father...I don't know. I really liked it. I learned many things about life and people and myself in those 3 weeks. So far it is my most memorable vacation, that I will never forget. :-)))
