a bit of Arad taste

I spent my afternoon with an acting college mate who's an actress here at the theatre in Arad. We haven't seen each other for an year now, so we had a lot to talk about. I had a late lunch at this restaurant-lounge bar inside the theatre called Gaya. The weather outside sucked big time, so I couldn't sightsee. So the hours spend in this warm spot were welcomed. I ordered a tea, cinnamon flavored ( of course!), with milk. These days I felt like a flu is willing to visit me, so hot tea was my only option when it came to drink smthing... Fortunately enough this tea was amazing, haven't tried this brand before, but they've gained a fan, that's for sure!

I wanted to eat some pasta, so these cuties up here with mushrooms and chicken were fabulous! Definitely will come again!

Winterdream hot tea with milk, love it!

jocul de-a vacanta...

Can't miss each time my theatre mates play this show... doesn't matter if I laugh most of the time only when I actually see all kind of mistakes... I've missed only one show since it had the premiere at the beginning of this year... I know by heart everything that happens in the show !

A show that can't be skipped, that's for sure!

the only city I love in Romania.... a bit of Cluj

After all the party guests left, we went to sleep way past midnight. Woke up early in the morning for a short trip to Cluj, had some master issues to solve...after that was done, we spent some time checking out Iulius and Polus Malls...
I always said that if I had a starbucks shop near me, I would start drinking coffee. Even if this time I had a hot tea with milk, I made sure to taste a sip from the table parteners coffee too :)

My sis saw this lake outside Iulius Mall with paddle boats...I couldn't ran away from her eager will to "ride" one of those... so I ended up having my last tea drops relaxed on the back seat of the paddle boat, watching the sunset and the wild ducks swimming while my sis and her bfriend tried to rush them out of the pond.


Not mentioning some shopping I did and my bfriend did for me :) Nice day!

birthday celebration catch up :))

So the day when I could party fo my B-day came...of course I wasn't ready with all the preparations in time, cause we had an afternoon show at the theatre...so I was late when the people started to show up. In the first pic there's Sorin in my kitchen...I'm not sure what he was doing...probably exercising some new acting method or smthing :) while I was desperate to finish all the entrees before the barbeque :)
The good thing about this reunion was probably, in the first place, the weather. It was so warm, unusual for this time of october, that we could hang out in the house yard until midnight. Perfect for having fun doing some bbque.
This is not what it seams! :)) But still...armed and dangerous!

These are the famous romanian "mici". They are a pork meat melange, spiced with different condiments. To be short, they are fabulous done on the bbque! And with beer...you just wish for more! All in all, we had a nice time together, received very nice gifts ( there're going to show up in my blog updates, that's for sure!), but the surprise of the night was the arrival of my sis and her bfriend. I knew that they couldn't come anymore, even if they promised. But they solved some problems and managed to come all the way from Brasov to Baia Mare.
Everything finished with a cheesecake (my american love), of course also made by my own two hands. The people loved it!

So we had the chance to spend some good time and enjoy a party that I desperately needed :)

Gabi and "Lucia" at the premiere...

So the big night of the premiere came... I felt anxious, part because I wanted everything to go perfect, not miss one word or action from my acting, and part because I didn't kne what to expect from the spectators... but everything went really fine, the people started to react pretty soon at the funny things that came out from the text, the costumes, the acting, the music.... This show, "The Lovers from Ancona" is meant to be a comedy filled with music, laughts and lots of fun! It should bring as many spectacors as possible...anykind... "Lucia Nicomaco"

As usual, I did my best on the stage and at the end of the play, me and my partener received the most of the applauses...then - me = happy!!

P.S. I'm waiting from the ones who saw the play some opinions!

Happy B-day to me! part I

Since we're approaching the day we'll have the premiere at the theatre, I really can not afford to loose not even one night with parties or stuff like that...not even for my birthday (?!)...

Just have to wait for next week to come, gather all my friends and have a good time, but FIRST I have to serve the Stage ... cause it will serve me too.


My Bf surprised many times today... I didn't expect him to, cause the "party" stuff was already planned for onother day with cake, gifts and all that. But, anyhow...I received gifts that acomplished me in all the ways possible... he made me feel very special, and kept me smiling almost all day long.

Before going to the theatre for rehearsals, we had lunch in town at a very nice place where we've never been to so far, then we just had time to go back home...and after that... put some clothes on and run at the theatre. I thought the surprises were over. But there was more to come...

hmmm...so that's a 24 years old look? :))

Happy B-day to me! - part II

Well...the real surpise came after we finished rehearsing. It was way over 10 pm...we were all tired....
I had a hardtime focusing on what I had to do on the stage, cause of my B-day...I started to wish for some kind of celebrating soooo bad, that I couldn't wait for next week to come, to have a proper party... Anyways, out play finishes with all the actors singing an italian song. So after we finished the song on the stage, some of my colleagues, including my Bf, started singing " Happy B-day to you, happy B-day dear Gabi....happy B-day to you!" . Mannnn, that was soo sweet! And then another colleague of mine came out with a birthday cake from behind a setting and my Bf with champagne... and then...
I burst into tears...
This was by far the greatest birthday surprise I ever experienced. And the fact that I could celebrate this unique day on the STAGE, as an actor, it's really a special thing, it caresses my heart!

This was the heart cake we all shared in plastic plates and spoons, a stage life :))...and had champagne ( in the same plastic glasses), we all had a good time together with smiles , hugs and happy birtday wishes. I was happy! All these surprises made me real happy! I think I fell asleep smiling, back at home! "Family pic!"

All the crew working at the play "The lovers from Ancona"...actors, stage director, choreographer, theatre director, stage designer...

(the settings are not over yet :{ there supposed to be an italian plaza)

Thank you all guys for making my day memorable!

Birthday Girl :)

the day just started... hmmm... 24 years old...

"little bee" time

....in order to get my mail fixed and my blog updated ,I need to spend some time (more than an hour usually) in front of the lap top... and, as you know me by now, I can't refuse a sweet indulge. This time is a lil' cake called in romanian "Albinita"( it means "little bee") because is made with honey, a milky cream and ripe plums preserves...I simply love it!

"Lucia"

Today, during a rehearsal-break at this new play we're working at, I took some pics of my new "theatre playmate" who's name is Lucia - from a hungarian play called "The Lovers From Ancona". She's bespectacle (obviously from the pics :)....) and a blabber too. Lucia: " No...I really see you clearly!"

I think this is one of my funniest characters I ever tried, but so far, I'm having so much fun playing with this two features that were quite unusual for me.... I do wear glasses( I actually have to wear them more often...) cause I have a problem with seeing things far away... , but in order to gibber, I have nobody to use as an example near me...so I said "How would I speak if I were babbled"... it's peculiar but the stage director likes it, so everything is OK. Not mentioning that I love to wear my hair in two curly ponytails!! Cute! This coming sunday will have the premiere, an we still have as lot of work to do... by then, hope you'll enjoy the pics...there will be more to come!

Lucia "trying to find an answer"...

Lucia "astonished"

Lucia "in love"

milk chocolate boost

...this was an "8 o'clock waking day" and I was at 9 am at the theatre for early rehearsals... during a break or when I don't have to be on the stage at certains scenes of the play, I run in my dressing room and have my energy boost.... :))

Sapanta - Merry Cemetery

I always wanted to see this place I visited this sunday and since I came to this part of Romania, Maramures...well there are still a lot of beautiful spots to visit ...so I present you : Sapanta's "Merry Cemetery" .

- is known throughout the world due to the talents of the local sculptor, poet and painter Ion Stan Patras. During his lifetime, he created a great number of grave markers which are painted in distinctive "Sapanta Blue" and visually depict the deceased along with an often humorous poem about their lives, habits, personalities and how they died. Ion's intention was to create a place of celebration for the loved ones. He ended up creating one of the most visited attractions in Romania, as well as a truly unique site in the world. Probably the only cemetery in the world where you can smile...

paintball session

maaannn....I said I'm gonna try paintball. So after I finished reheasing at the theatre, I spent like 3 hours "killin' the blue enemies". I had a lot of fun, and I'll do that again for sure! Try it!

having some laughs...I was the only girl in an 8 guys group...as ussual, that doesn't bother me :))

Just waiting for the perfect moment to act...a "pink bullet"...
