    I stroll along the banks of La Seine.Paris unfolding before my eyes like a painting brought to life. The river flows gently like a ribbon of dreams, Her surface shimmering with the reflections of the city’s timeless elegance. I listen to La Seine murmuring secrets of past romances, Her rippling waves carrying echoes of laughter and whispered promises. She is the keeper of the collective memories of the tender souls who fell in love And pledged their hearts to each other beneath her moonlit embrace. La Seine, a living poem, a mirror of the spirit of Paris, Weaves her waters into tales of resilience and passion. Bateaux-mouches glide along her currents, Mesmerizing all who watch their graceful dance. La Seine carries my troubles and my pains away, And gives me back tranquility and love. I find s

    I remember my teacher of French from the school years.She was the best teacher of Voltaire’s tongue a pupil could ask for. She made me love the most beautiful language on earth. She made me dream of Paris. Before I graduated from school, I promised myself that one day I would see Paris with my own eyes. I used to picture myself in the company of La Tour Eiffel as the very first thing to do in Paris once I set foot in the City of Lights. My dream came true when I grew up. Once in Paris, the very first thing I did indeed was to greet the Eiffel Tower. My steps took me to Trocadéro Place. Hello Beauty! I stood beneath the radiant sky of Paris, My heart dancing with anticipation, Hypnotized by the majestic view of the Eiffel Tower. She stood tall, A graceful iron giant reaching for the heavens, Her lattice structure w

    Paris.A sunny autumn morning. I draw open the curtains of my hotel room. My breath is taken away by the panorama unfolded before my eyes. A canvas of pink, orange, and gold hues stretches across the sky. The Eiffel Tower stands magnificently in the distance, Her silhouette illuminated by the soft morning light. It is a sight that captures the essence of Paris, The city of love, The city of romance, The city of beauty. I can’t tear my gaze away from the mesmerizing extravaganza before me. The city slowly awakens to the sunshine, A golden spell cast over La Seine. Time stops still As I stand motionless at the window of my hotel room, Transfixed by the splendor of nature’s artistry. At this very moment, Paris feels like a dream, Etching the memory deep into my heart,

    As the morning sun gently baths the room in a warm golden glow,I find myself eagerly anticipating the ritual That brings immense joy to my heart. I make my way to the cozy kitchen, Where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, Awakening my senses. And there he is, The man I love, Standing by the counter with a smile That could light up the world. We exchange soft greetings once I join him, Our fingers intertwining effortlessly As we prepare the morning elixir. The clinking of cups and the rhythmic pouring of coffee create a soothing symphony That accompanies our conversation. With each sip, the rich brew infuses our souls with warmth and comfort, Mirroring the love that bound us together. In these precious sunny moments, As we share passionate kisses in the kitchen

    E luna decembrie, luna sarbatorilor, luna cadourilor.Luna lui Mos Nicolae, lui Mos Craciun, lui Mos Ajun. Mos Nicolae este primul care ne bate la usa sa ne aduca daruri, Caci am fost baieti si fete cuminti. Pantofii sunt la usa, lustruiti. Tragem cu coada ochiului spre usa, Poate-poate il surprindem pe Mosul. Stiu ca nu voi primi o nuia, Voi primi cadouri frumoase, Dulci si aratoase. Mos Nicolae, Nu te lasa asteptat. Vino in curand, sa-ti urez un an minunat.

    In the vast expanse of the universe,A timeless love story unfolded between the Sun and the Moon. Each day, as the Sun painted the sky with his vibrant rays, It yearned for the Moon’s gentle presence. And when night fell, The Moon emerged, Casting her ethereal glow upon the world, Longing for the Sun’s warm embrace. Though destined to forever chase one another, Their love knew no bounds. With each sunrise, The Sun would shower the Moon with a kaleidoscope of colors, Painting the heavens in a tapestry of love. And as darkness blanketed the Earth, The Moon would illuminate the night sky, Sending a soft glow as a tender message to the Sun. Their celestial courtship continued through the ages, A dance of light and darkness, of warmth and serenity. Though they could never

I see the most astonishing sunset in the city of Toronto ever. It is breathtaking. The sky is on fire. I park the car in the parking lot at the supermarket. I take pictures. I capture the gorgeous sunset. When I’m done with the grocery shopping, I post the picture with the phenomenal sunset on my social media. The picture is unfiltered. It shows its raw and genuine beauty. Then I scroll my social media feed. Facebook, Instagram, the likes. The sunset is the topic of the day. Dozens and dozens of pictures of the fiery sunset in the city of Toronto. This is a sunset to remember. Toront
