Pools in Bucharest

2012-02-08T11:55:00.000+02:00

I'm far from being a good swimmer. I just practice a lot.

But since swimming is an important part of my life, I've been frequently asked about the best pool&gear.

As far as I'm concerned, I've tried several over the years and what I seek in a pool is perfect clean water, clean lockers, and if it's crowded I prefer people who swim to people who chat&kiss at the end of the lane.

And one more little detail - I like my pool blue - cause there is a black one, for the real depressed but posh swimmers.

1. Dinu Pescariu

been there for a couple of times.

+'s - 25 m, clean, far from crowded ( price I reckon )

-'s - the rather long corridor between the pool and locker area, price.

2. World Class Downtown.

used this one for 1.5 years

+'s - the price

-'s - 22m, really crowded if you go there to swim, crowded lockers as in walking naked silicon valley (boys, it's not pretty, trust me)

3. IDM - my recommendation

using it since November.

+'s - 25m, price, cleanest water ever, not crowded

-'s - the clerks.

4. Olympic Pool - Izvorani

++ 50m, great water.

I'd swim there everyday, but since it's out of town, it just counts as one of the coolest pools ever, not your everyday swim.

It's open to public but you need to call first.

5. Dinamo - outdoor

if you don't mind seeing the occasional leaf - from the trees near, it's perfect for summer week-days, early evening swims.

50m, clean water.

avoid during the week-end - it's very crowded.

Hope this is helpful.

I'll get back with a post about gear.

Been preparing this post for a while and now it's time to share my thoughts.

When I was a kid, I used to have a nightmare - over and over again. I was locked in this house with no doors, just windows and the house was slowly flooding. Concrete grey all over. And my darkest fear was that water is going to reach the plugs and I'm going to die electrocuted.

I told my mom about it - she said that even in dreams I can stop it and dream about something else. It's true. I never had that dream ever again.

My 2011 was like a nightmare battle where you keep fighting but you're not getting anywhere. You want to prove yourself and the whole world that you're the absolute best.

You have no idea who you're fighting with. You know that you simply have to keep doing it cause... wait. And you stop. Why do I have to do this? I'm way too tired for this and I don't like this armour. It doesn't match my eyes.

And you drop your weapons and say, fuck it. I quit.

When you drop the sword, the battle stops and suddenly everything is changed. It's not a battle anymore. It's a dance in the dark. You have no idea how to do it. You heard about people elegantly moving together but you have no idea how to do it. Oh wait, there's music. Oh my, so many new things.

And you start moving, led by something you can't explain. You're clumsy as hell and you feel ashamed, naked in a ballroom where everyone seems perfect.

And then, the ballroom warms slowly by guiding floating lights and you have a pretty dress and a tiara and you're not that bad. You're still very clumsy and still scared but there are some people smiling at you while you unintentionally step on somebody's foot, light is complementing your eyes and you trust yourself to keep doing this new thing, even if you're not very good at it.

Color and love flood the space behind your eyes.

I wanted this post to be a confession about the many things I've began to see only this year.

I pictured it smart and full of wiseness. Instead all I could write is ( if you've reached this far ) what you've already read.

I was blessed with pain and guiding lights disguised as people teaching me, tenderly and sometimes not so tenderly about music, vulnerability, friendship and love.

Thank you beautiful people in my life.

I like dancing with you. I can only hope I'm not stepping on your foot too much.

Keep on teaching me new moves please.

I wish we all have an elegant year no matter what the DJ plays.

Untitled - mainly about music.

2011-12-07T01:18:00.006+02:00

My last year taught me so many things. I think that spelling them out would feel like coming out to shore after a dark&troubled night on the sea, guided by blissful lighthouses. Peaceful, thankful and hopefully, wiser.

And since I'm preparing it like it deserves, I thought a lot about the matching music.

I went to a swimming competition yesterday. A serious one.

I enjoy swimming a lot but I never fooled myself that I'm really good. I got 2 medals, silver for 50m freestyle and gold for 400m freestyle. But due to a minor logistic issue, I didn't get the actual gold medal, the object . Don't get me wrong, I got the no. 1 diploma and there are pictures of me high on the platform, but I don't have the medal. At first I was a bit disappointed. Cause I like medals.

But later I realized that I love my silver medal more and I don't need the gold one.

It became my favorite and most precious belonging at the moment. I'm wearing it as I write this.

It's a constant reminder not to settle, that there will always be something or someone to look up to. Thank God for that.

Nostalgia

2011-10-18T22:39:00.011+03:00

For me, Mad Men never did it. I have no idea why. Everyone around me loved it. I didn't manage to go pass episode 4. But in this mash-up, Don Draper says something that caught my attention.

He talks about nostalgia and how important it is in advertising.

" It's delicate but potent(..) nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound, it's a twinge in the heart, far more powerful than the memory alone"

Wikipedia doesn't literally agree, Bruce McCall says that nostalgia is one of the most utterly useless human emotions, but I like Don Draper's version (cause I'm a sucker for nice words)

Well, tonight, nostalgia got me very excited. So while listening to this, oh my, so impossibly sweet song, I'm happy to be nostalgic.

Candy anyone?

Deea doesn't wear one but nevertheless, her post on signature lipstick is beautiful. It reminded me that we should wear lipstick more often.

But then I saw this little sign.

So appropriate. Family connections are like thunders, some good, some bad.

Nevertheless the little thunder made me smile.

2011-09-16T14:59:00.012+03:00

Stiam ca toata lumea e vulnerabila, fragila, sensibila si facuta din carne si oase. Stiam asta ca pe o axioma. Ceva ce nu trebuie demonstrat si care are o valoare atat de abstracta incat nu ma intereseaza/atinge.

Mult timp mi s-a parut ca a arata ca esti vulnerabil e un semn de slabiciune. Nu se face sa arati ca esti vulnerabil pentru ca asta te face un om slab, nedemn de respectul de sine si al celorlalti.

Si intr-un moment de ceata, o prietena mi-a spus:

" Vezi tu, pana one is not ready to feel vulnerable, one will be knocked down to feel vulnerable. Sa fii vulnerabil emotional si cald cu oamenii nu e slabiciune, e chiar mai usor sa handle relationships with people like this."

And my, was I knocked down. Am aflat asa ca nu e un semn de slabiciune.

Ascunderea vulnerabilitatii proprii, negarea importantei ei e una dintre cele mai mai rele pe care poti sa le faci, tie si celorlalti.

Si daca as scrie asta doar pentru mine e ca si cum as nega tot ce am zis.

So, nu-mi place rozul foarte tare dar sunt vulnerabila si e perfect in regula.

" The great thing in a library is to find things you're not looking for."

Dear Rem, may I apply this to life itself and not only to libraries?

Rem remains one of the true visionaries and even though this might look like a talk for architects, it's not.

And I have a soft spot for him, because he swims every day.

Warning: this requires focus (Rem has a funny accent), time and availability.

What do you do when you're sad?

I watch this one.

Beware!!

It's longer than the average 3min cat video you like on facebook, requires focus and availability.

If this didn't make you close the window, then there's some pretty neat ideas in it.

- All the good friendships are based on confessions of things that the world thinks of as unacceptable

- Marriage out of love and having a job you love destroys the “safety valves” - the hobby and the mistress.

- Sadness improves your sex appeal.

- For the cheerful side of pessimism and how to be happily sad - put a skull on your desk cause that is going to make you more focused on what's important.

- In the moments of darkness you have the best insights into what you really need in life.

- A man should swallow a toad every morning to be sure of not meeting with anything more disgusting in the day ahead

Le-am cules de pe un site de review-uri.

Despre Bell&Ross Airbourne :"I think it is interesting because it is really a sign that Bell & Ross is trying to defend the watch because of some of the negative backlash from finnicky collectors. You can also see that the watch comes with a diamond covered face - because that is just what a watch meant to pay tribute to paratroopers needs, diamonds. Overall a very cool limited watch from the very popular Bell & Ross for a few thousand bucks."

Saab:"Take away that something that makes a Saab a Saab and it ceases to be a Saab and Saab ceases to be. That’s perhaps a tautology or perhaps a mystical revelation or maybe we’re all supposed to clap so Tinkerbelle will live. But the Saabness of a Saab is a fragile thing in an era of platform sharing and intensive competition: Put a griffin on the hood of an Opel and call it a Saab and you break the spell, and what was Saab evanesces without even any sparkling stuff in the air."

iPad:"If you are thinking the Apple iPad is like stretching an iPhone and giving it a great display, you are mostly right."

ARCHITECTS: All idiots. Always forget to put stairs in houses.

ARTISTS: All pranksters. Boast their disinterestedness (old). Wonder what they are dressed like everyone else (old). Earn huge sums of money, but throw them through windows. Often invited to dinner in town. Female artist can be a whore. What they do can be called work

BEARD: A sign of strength. Too much beard hair gives baldness. Useful to protect ties.

ADVERTISING: fortune source."

2009-11-02T14:51:00.002+02:00

Am vazut/placut noul Star Trek si Whatever Works.
Si mi-a placut foarte mult la Shorts UP.

Basescu il copie pe Antonescu si Oprescu copie Maersk.
Stati cuminti, urmeaza alegeri.

Mick

2009-10-21T12:17:00.004+03:00

Intotdeauna mi-a placut de Mick, chiar si atunci cand nu aveam motive.

Imi place tare mult de Bradut ( nu-l cunosc ) si asta nu pentru ca i-am vazut blogul peste tot saptamana asta, nici pentru ca si-a luat un an in Thailanda, nici pentru baracuda, ci pentru ca scrie foarte funny.
Funny bun de ha ha.

Sandra si Ioana au lansat Car Candy.

Pentru fetele care tin mult la masinile lor.

Welcome to the fierce world of entrepreneurs.

Imi place foarte mult de cuculand.

Noul album e absolut superb. Looking forward to seeing them in Barcelona.
Si aici un extras cu preferatele mele - Starlight si mai noua Undisclosed Desires

Bravo Angelica

2009-08-11T17:58:00.006+03:00

Angelica e o fata care stie sa cante. Din Republica Moldova dar care invata la Bucuresti. Am vrut sa scriu despre ea de ceva timp ( am aparut impreuna in Marie Claire-ul din mai, alaturi de Iren - Mintea de ceai )

S-a facut celebra pe internet. Adica si-a pus o camera web si si-a postat filmuletele pe youtube - ( nu e o blonda cu sanii mari si nici nu se dezbraca )

A participat la concursul Music Mogul - in spatele caruia se afla Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins - cel care a produs Beyonce, MJ, Destiny's Child, Janet Jackson, Toni Braxton.

Angelica a castigat preselectia Music Mogul ceea ce inseamna ca o asteapta o cariera asa cum merita. Poate asa starletele de Romania o sa invete ce e aia sa canti - poate asa toate Andreele si alte patachine o sa se lase de muzica.

Bravooooo!!!

Yap, I'm old

Cand citesti ce zice pustiul asta aici, iti dai seama ca ai cam imbatranit.
Life is life.
Merci Iancu.

Vexxu la Green Hours

2009-08-03T14:05:00.002+03:00

A fost minunat si se pare ca asteptam un album. Fingers crossed.
Pescarusu a facut niste poze foarte frumoase.

Locuri

2009-08-02T20:10:00.003+03:00

Gradina Verona - o atmosfera foarte faina si o amenajare de foarte mult bun simt.
Se pare ca are si o istorie interesanta - se afla pe o fosta strada ceea ce o face semi-publica.

Indianul de la Ark - "La The ARK s-a deschis terasa Musafir cu un restaurant indian in care va gati Amarjit Sidhu" - mancare foarte buna si atmosfera la fel. Micut dar foarte dragut.

Locuri

2009-07-20T16:22:00.003+03:00

Incep o serie de recomandari pentru locuri faine pe unde am fost si mi-a placut, locul, mancarea, oamenii.
Pizzeria Due Amici de pe Floreasca. Foarte mica (4 mese), pizza foarte buna, customizabila, servirea asigurata chiar de patron care arata ca un italian si e foarte dragut, sos de rosii pe bune chiar din rosii (wow).
Delivery doar daca sunteti in zona.
L-V 12.00 - 23.00.
Sambata 18.00-23.00.
Duminica inchis.

DM si 66 de mii de oameni la Stade de France

A fost indeed One Night in Paris.
Iar Dave a dat tribut lui Michael Jackson. Pe langa celebrul hi hiii, se vede si o incercare de moonwalk.
Concertul a fost beyond words.

Music gets the best of me.

2009-06-26T18:35:00.003+03:00

Maine vom fi la Paris la Depeche Mode.
Asta nu era deloc in plan dar ma bucur nespus ca mergem.
Imi pare rau ca nu am fost la MJ atunci cand a fost in Bucuresti.
Mi-ar placea sa nu mai ratez nici un concert mare. RIP MJ . Sunt coplesita de media coverage-ul pe care l-a avut. Cei de la CNN l-au comparat cu Martin Luther King si pe buna dreptate.

RIP Michael Jackson

2009-06-26T09:05:00.001+03:00

You will be missed.

Dave get well

2009-05-13T12:09:00.004+03:00

Depeche Mode au anulat aseara concertul de la Atena.
Sa speram ca Dave are ceva minor si concertul de la Bucuresti nu va fi anulat.
Fingers crossed.
LATER EDIT
Sansele pentru reprogramare cresc. Depeche Mode au mai anulat inca 3 show-uri. In total sunt 9. Mult pentru un tur. Sunt sigura ca vor reprograma. Nu sunt sigura daca o vor face in iulie sau septembrie. Cel mai probabil in 2010 cand Europa de Est va fi ( ca si in cazul Madonnei ) o extindere a turului.
Asteptam.
November Edit: Deci pot sa prezint vremea la TV.

incotro

2009-05-06T18:26:00.003+03:00

In sfarsit lansat. Imaginea ma face sa ma gandesc la guma Turbo si la faptul ca abia astept petrecerea Raspiua.

The Box

2009-04-30T15:28:00.004+03:00

Cea mai frumoasa cutie din tot universul. Contine Sunetele Universului adica extra tracks la ultimul album DM si niste demo-uri super extra giga terra.
Pionierul din mine s-a bucurat masiv si de insigne.
Va recomand, daca nu aveti cutia, sa cautati Ghost, Oh well,( despre care ma intreb de ce nu sunt pe album pentru ca sunt absolut excelente ) si demo-urile, aici preferatul fiind Nothing is impossible.
Numar zilele pana la concert.

Who's the idiot now?

La 93, 5 milioane de views pe youtube cam toata lumea internauta stie cine e Susan Boyle. Mai putini stiu insa ca doamna a mai incercat sa cante si in alte ocazii.
Macar acum vocea ei a lasat juriul paf-praf-sah-mat.

Ai bicicleta?

2009-04-24T10:27:00.002+03:00

Daca ai vinde-o ca n-ai ce face cu ea. Asta daca nu cumva esti extrem si vrei sa te dai cu ea prin trafic unde oricand imbecilul din Q7 iti pocneste o usa in fata sau tii neaparat sa ajungi acasa cu nasul si gura pline de praf.
Luati de cititi.

WTF?

2009-04-18T00:12:00.003+03:00

Is gmail going really mad?
Can someone please explain this? I'm trying to send an e-mail, late in the evening but who the fuck do you think you are google to tell me to go to bed?
Ok, I had a glass of wine but I'm still able to write and send an e-mail.

Am inceput sa citesc Funky Bussines. Chiar daca e scrisa acum un bilion de ani o gasesc interesanta ( ma intreb daca autorii o mai gasesc actuala&relevanta )
Am dat aseara peste " fratii si surorile noastre binare si imaginare". Oare cum arata sora mea binara?

And architecture follows me

2009-04-14T18:29:00.005+03:00

Ambele sunt id-uri ale unor studiouri de arhitectura. BAA e mai bine desenat dar seamana mult prea mult cu PZP.
O fi de vina ideea foarte "la prima mana" ?

Arhitectul elvetian Peter Zumthor ia premiul Pritzker ( echivalentul pentru arhitectura al premiului Nobel ).
Ce mi se pare foarte interesant e ca domnul traieste intr-un satuc din Elvetia, departe de oras - la munte frumos. Zice ca il ajuta sa se concetreze.

"For an art museum in Bregenz, Austria — a four-story cube of concrete, steel and glass that opened in 1997 — Mr. Zumthor used glass walls that at night can become giant billboards or video screens."

Acelasi Bregenz din penultimul James Bond.

Vlad a facut o lucrare tematica. Very nice.

Arcul de Triumf

2009-04-13T20:27:00.006+03:00

Am fost azi pe Arcul de Triumf. Nu se compara cu omologul francez, nu e la fel de interesant ca pe cladirea Connex din apropiere dar va recomand sa mergeti maine.
Partea cea mai proasta e ca trebuie sa traversezi printre masini care stau la stop. Nu exista o trecere pentru cei care vor sa ajunga la Arc.a..si bate vantul.
Cred ca era mai interesant daca aveam un binoclu.

Imaginile din Project 112 (online acum, dupa ce au fost expuse la BCU) de Alex Galmeanu&Mihaela Berciu imi aduc aminte de o serie facuta de Sam Taylor Wood- "Crying Men" in 2004.
Desi diferite ca proiecte, sunt foarte puternice si frumoase amandoua.
Enjoy.

Tara arde si Oana se piaptana?

2009-04-07T00:53:00.007+03:00

Desi ar trebui sa scriu despre minunata si uimitoarea tara imbibata de fabulospirit in care traim ( nu, nu ma plang ca un copil tampit , adica in ce tara statul decide sa ia taxe aberante de la microintreprinderi? doar sa suplimenteze un buget avorton care va trebui sa plateasca viitorul imprumut FMI? cand in alte tari normale acest fel de taxe sunt micsorate sau chiar dispar tocmai pentru a ajuta cumva economia chiar si la nivel micro? oare statul nu-si da seama ca majoritatea administratorilor - angajati in micro vor deveni in curand someri si ghici cine va trebui sa plateasca somaj...u u u tot bugetul de stat, deci cum sa fii atat de tampit? ) o sa pun o poza care m-a facut sa zambesc azi.
Oare am innebunit? Oare ar trebui sa ies in strada si sa fac o demonstratie in fata ministerului de finante? ( nu merita sa scriu cu litera mare )

Carve Your Own Wooden Postcard

Although I should blog about the total illogical and stupid country I live in ( and I have arguments - I mean in a country with an economy close to O the state decides to raise taxes to be payed by small companies like mine just because the state needs a bigger budget to pay the future IMF loan which by the way goes to banks and not to small companies who actually do something for the economy ) I realize that it's a COMPLETE waste of energy. Because it's not going to help. So instead please enjoy this Carve Your Own Wooden Postcard

Koons in Versailles

2009-04-06T17:30:00.005+03:00

The perfect place for Koons. He is the King of Pop in a Baroque way. Saw his stuff before but in Versailles it's just perfect. It should stay there as permanent exhibit.

Because I recently remembered about him and his photography.
