Living in RO Colors

Paste fericit, dragele mele!

Sper ca sarbatoriti Sfintele Sarbatori Pascale alaturi de cei dragi, fie ei familie sau / si prieteni.

Cum petreceti zilele astea? In familie sau v-ati organizat o excursie? Oricum ar fi, sper sa apucati sa va odihniti si sa va incarcati bateriile.

Cand aveti timp, mai treceti pe la blogul meu si lasati un comentariu. Si eu imi iau liber de la toate, dar pe blog tot mai intru sa vad ce si cum.  Mereu trebuie sa fiu cu un ochi alert. »

If you don’t know who Mihai Eminescu is, Wikipedia will tell you (almost) all about him. Too keep it short, I can tell you this: he is Romania’s greatest and my favorite poet. On January 15th (the day he was born) every year, we celebrate his work and contribution to our linguistic legacy.

From all the literature I studied during school and high-school, only one poem stuck to my mind. It is a short and sweet Eminescu poem about love. Maybe that’s why I still remember it.

The poem is called “And if …” and I’ve found a pretty good translation for it (courtesy of romanianvoice.com). If you have a girlfriend or boyfriend which can read in Romanian, dedicate her/him this poem, in its original form, on Dragobete (our very own Valentine’s Day) and she\he’ll look at you in a whole new perspective.

In ziua de 15 Martie a fiecarui an sarbatorim Ziua Internationala a Drepturilor Consumatorilor. Acestea se refera la:

2. dreptul de a fi informati complet, corect si precis asupra caracteristicilor esentiale ale produselor si serviciilor, astfel incat decizia pe care o adopta in legatura cu acestea sa corespunda cat mai bine nevoilor lor, precum si de a fi educati in calitatea lor de consumatori;
3. dreptul de a avea acces la piete care le asigura o gama variata de produse si servicii de calitate;
4. dreptul de a fi despagubiti pentru prejudiciile generate de calitatea necorespunzatoare a produselor si serviciilor, folosind in acest scop mijloacele prevazute de lege;
5. dreptul de a se organiza in asociatii pentru protectia consumatorilor, in scopul apararii intereselor lor;
6. dreptul de a refuza incheierea contractelor care contin clause abusive, in conformitate cu legislatia in vigoare;

In ziua de 21 Martie a fiecarui an, intreaga lume sarbatoreste Ziua Mondiala a Pamantului. Avand in vedere actuala noastra relatie cu planeta Pamant, cred ca aceasta sarbatoare va fi marcata in acest an mai mult ca niciodata, cel putin la nivel mondial.

Ziua Mondiala a Pamantului se sarbatoreste din 1970, proclamarea acestei sarbatori fiind insotita de cuvintele: “May there only be peaceful and cheerful Earth Days to come for our beautiful Spaceship Earth as it continues to spin and circle in frigid space with its warm and fragile cargo of animate life.”.

Intr-adevar, echilibrul este foarte fragil, iar supravietuirea noastra pe acesta planeta depinde de multi factori, printe care si atitudinea noastra vis-à-vis de tot ce ne inconjoara: natura, animale, oameni. Cuvintele “iubeste-ti aproapele” sunt mai adevarate in ziua de azi ca niciodata.

Dupa o scurta analiza a prezentei Zilei Mondiale a Pamantului pe internet, am remarcat ca Earthsite.org sugereaza diverse moduri de sarbatorire a zilei, dintre care mi-a atras atentia propunerea de a face cu totii curatenie in locurile unde locuim sau lucram, sa plantam copaci sau arbusti in parcuri. Suna bine, insa in Bucuresti nu am auzit de astfel de actiuni, nu s-a gandit nimeni sa organizeze asa ceva. Din punctul meu de vedere, orice companie romaneasca sau straina putea sa organizeze sarbatorirea Zilei Mondiale a Pamantului pentru salariatii sai, familiile lor; un mod simplu si elegant de a scapa de rutina si a petrece ziua in mijlocul orasului in care traiesti. Chiar si pentru scoli era o ocazie buna de educat si motivat copiii. »
