La ultima mujer del señor Juan

Como todo el mundo sabe el mito de Don Juan, (un galán que conquista a las mujeres y después las abandona), desde el siglo XVII hasta ahoro mismo, la literatura europea no ha dejado de transformar el tipo de Don Juan que en cada país y en cada momento ha servido de modelo para originales maneras de considerar el amor y la vida.

Si quieres ver este mito en versión moderna, lo puedes hacer porque el teatro Odeon (Bucharest) nos ofrece un espectáculo maravillo donde encontramos un Don Juan ya a los 50 años. El reparto: Florin Zamfirescu (el protagonista), Irina Mazanitis, Mugur Arvunescu, Katia Pascariu, Mircea Constantinescu, Angela Ioan, Gabriel Pintilei, Ionel Mihailescu, Dimitrii Bogomaz, Ionut Kivu, Relu Poalelungi.
No te lo puedes perder.

The Devil wears Prada

Anna Wintour is the editor-in-chief for the (American) Vogue magazine and one of the most important personality from the fashion industry. It seems that she is the inspiration source for the best-seller "The Devil wears Prada" written by one of her ex assistant (Lauren Weisberger) who denied this rumour. At the movie premier Anna Wintour was wearing Prada and she said she liked it and Meryl Streep in particular.

She has a salary of 2 million dollars, a personal driver and an apartment at Ritz (Paris) for the fashion week.

You should see the movie, is great.

Paris Hilton humiliated

 Look at Jack Nicholsons , he's trying not to laugh but he can't.

Sarah Jessica Parker makes you dependent

Four women, four concepts about life but still a strong friendship... you can't not be envious. How can they have such a special thing? Perhaps they learned to accept themselves just the way they are without changing anyone's conception. But this can be happen is real life? I refuse to believe that you didn't identify with one of the four friends.

Sarah Jessica Parker makes you dependent of "Sex and the city" and I must confess I want to visit New York. I hope it will be a seven season because I can't wait to see what will happen with Carrie and Big and with Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha.

Romania - Belarus

Romania has won another game and is closer to classification of the European Final Tour. The score was 3-1 (2-1) after a difficult game in which Mutu(2) and Dica scored. In my opinion the players of the match were Mutu and Chivu, those two can be hard substitute and they can be anytime key players of the game.

After the break entered Dorinel Munteanu who gave a plus of experience for the team (he's still a great player at his 39 years old). Next is the game with Netherlands...I hope we win :)

Funny baby "blood"

If you had a bad day this child will make you laugh. He is so cute and I love the way he says it and how serious he is (by the way, he said blood like 20 times for no reason) :)

So true

"You are young only once, but you can stay immature indefinitely!"

"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." (Niebuhr)

Michael Jackson

Known as well as the King of Pop, Michael Jackson was in my opinion the biggest star. This is one of he's songs that I like (I was just 1 year-old when this song appeared)


I hope he will come back and I never thought he was guilty of child molestation accusations.

Anime pictures

I don't know how many of you knows something about anime. The term refers to animation originating in Japan and even if there are somehow separated from cartoons, anime still uses multiple images in rapid succession to produce the animated visual effect.

As I am a fan of anime I looked for some pictures. This is a part of what I found:
