HellO, WOrld!
Definitely, Friday is my favorite day of the week. The day when you still have to work, but in your mind you start to make plans for the crazy weekend that will start in just few hours! SO, what we gonna do this time?
I remember my first holiday in London, a place so elegant, where everything looks almost perfect, a city populated (in my mind, of course), just with beautiful ladies and very well-mannered gentlemen. Well, that was quite an accurate description of downtown of London. I’ve stayed in a boutique hotel in Mayfair, one of the most exquisite neighbourhoods of the UK capital, so nothing seemed to change my zen and the perfect picture of London. And then, suddenly, it was Friday afternoon. And starting from that moment, London has changed totally. Drunk people all over, crazy women laying on the pavement and screaming after all the guys that had the courage to walk very close to them, men in black suits drinking and sharing the same table with punkers with weird haircuts and tattooed all over their body. In few hours, my idilic image of London has collapsed. OMG, this is a nightmare! I hope the Queen is well! Or is she drunk too? No, this can’t be real.
But yes, it was. Actually, I never saw so many drunk people on the streets in my life. So, I said, probably the people of London are working hard, so they have to party hard.
I love to party too, and I consider myself a crazy party boy, but I’m not very sure that I want to loose my minds on Friday and get them back only on Monday morning. I preffer a little bit of a balance, even when I’m having fun. I love to go out clubbing with my friends, but in the next day, even if it’s Saturday or Sunday, I love to meet them again on a late brunch. And after that to go to Carturesti and spend hours doing absolutely nothing. Or, sometimes, we are looking for chilipire in flea markets or we are visiting the fashion fairs (there are plenty in the Autumn), just to meet other friends (yes, I live in this fashion world, so my friends are always there). And in the evening we are going out for a movie. If we have chef for that. Probably your weekends are looking quite the same. Or maybe not. Maybe you spend your weekends in bed, watching American Horror Story online. Or maybe you are in bed with your love, and you don’t want to see anybody else for two days. Because your love is enough.
There are so many way ways to have a perfect weekend! Even if you want to loose your minds or just your heart, be sure that you will be able to get out of your bed on Monday morning with more energy than you have today. Because weekends are ment for recharging you.

HellO, WOrld!
Cred ca e foarte clar ca Vinerea este ziua mea preferata din saptamana (da, si nu cred ca doar a mea, am I right?). E ziua aia in care stii ca mai ai inca de munca, dar in mintea ta se deruleaza deja planuri referitoare la modul in care o sa te distrezi in weekend. Chiar, ce o sa facem weekendul asta?
Imi amintesc acum prima mea vacanta la Londra, un oras extrem de elegant, care (in mintea mea), era populat doar de superbe Ladies si de Gentlemani foarte bine-crescuti. Si, sincer, cam asa si arata centrul Londrei. Nimic care sa imi tulbure zenul si imaginea idilica a capitalei Marii Britanii, mai ales ca locuiam in Mayfair, unul din cele mai exclusiviste cartiere londoneze. Insa iata, ca la un moment dat, s-a facut vineri dupa-amiaza. Moment din care toata imaginea Londrei s-a schimbat cu 180 de grade. O multime de oameni beti peste tot, femei ametite intinse pe trotuare, pentru ca nu se mai puteau tine in picioare, si care strigau dupa orice barbat care avea curajul sa se apropie prea mult de ele. Barbati eleganti, imbracati la 4 ace, band bere alaturi de punkeri cu frizuri care mai de care mai ciudate sau plini de tatuaje. In doar cateva ore, imaginea idilica a Londrei s-a ruinat. “OMG, oare Regina e bine? Sau e beata si ea? Ce s-a intamplat? E un cosmar, sigur! Nu are cum sa fie adevarat!”, asta imi tot repetam in minte.
Dar da, era adevarat. De fapt, cred ca niciodata nu am mai vazut atat de multi oameni beti pe strada, cum mi s-a intamplat in weekendul acela, la Londra. Dar, mi-am spus, probabil muncesc mult, asa ca se si distreaza din greu.
Well, recunosc ca genul asta de distractie nu e chiar ceea ce imi doresc de la un weekend. Si asta nu pentru ca nu as fi un party boy. Ba din contra! Insa, chiar si la distractie, prefer un pic de echilibru, de masura. Ador sa ies in cluburi cu prietenii, iar a doua zi imi place sa-i revad la un brunch in oras (fie ca e Samnata sau Duminica). Apoi putem sa mergem cu totii la Carturesti si sa nu facem nimic. Doar sa ne uitam la carti, la filme si CD-uri. Sau, daca nu, putem da iama in targurile de haine vintage in cautare de chilipiruri. Sau tot chilipiruri sa gasim la targurile unde se gasesc creatii ale designerilor romani. Iar acolo ma intalnesc cu alti prieteni, intotdeauna. Si poate seara mergem la un film, daca avem chef.
Cred ca weekendurile tale seamana destul de mult cu ale mele. Sau poate nu. Poate preferi sa stai tot weekendul in pat si sa te uiti online la serialul American Horror Show. Sau sa stai in pat, dar cu iubita sau iubitul. Si sa nu vreti sa vedeti pe nimeni altcineva urmatoarele doua zile. Pentru ca dragostea voastra va e suficienta.
Sunt o multime de feluri de ati petrece un weekend perfect! Oricare din variante este OK, atata timp cat luni dimineata te vei trezi cu mai multa energie decat ai acum, cand citesti acest text. Pentru ca da, weekendurile sunt facute pentru a-ti incarca bateriile. Iar weekendul asta abia a inceput.
LOve,
O.
