		<title>Why gamble?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday I was having dinner with two girlfriends of mine and telling them abut the Elle writing contest last year and how I didn’t win. This led to a very interesting conversation about winning stuff and being lucky: from finding money on the street to participating to various contests or gambling. None of us [...]]]></description>

		<title>To do today: save the world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember those Miss World &#8211; or Miss whatever contests where all the girls said their hobbies were literature, fashion, sport, traveling and animals. Or those interviews in horrible local newspapers where aspiring models who dreamt of making it in the big city had the same standard answer. I think that if they wanted to [...]]]></description>

		<title>I choose the best of times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Charles Dickens once famously wrote “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” And as far as time, or better said, timing goes, this statement couldn’t be more true. How many times do we say to ourselves that timing is everything? How many times do we ask ourselves what if we’ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>ELLE Talent Contest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago I entered the ELLE Talent Contest and written a piece on an event in my life that has helped shape who I am. The winners were published recently and although I am not one of them, I am very happy that I finally found the courage to stop keeping my writing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I watched The Deep Blue Sea. It wasn&#8217;t particularly good, and except from a stunning Rachel Weisz and the beautiful soundtrack, the movie didn&#8217;t say much to me. Rachel plays a woman living in the 50s, married to an older guy- or should I just say old- who adores her. But she is [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I am learning these days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most valuable things I have learned so far came from what people are, not from what they do. I keep coming back to this little obsession of mine with people who become human doings rather than human beings and that is because I feel more and more how everything revolves around what we do.

		<title>Thoughts on happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have never been one of those happy people who smile all the time. I have never been able to feel better just at the thought that there is always someone in a worse situation than mine. I mean, how can I relate to a starving kid in Africa and all of the sudden feel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh, human decency, where art thou?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was sitting comfortably on the tube earlier today when I realized that just next to me there were two Romanians: a man and a woman. They were talking quite loudly and I was able to hear their every word. Though I really wish I couldn&#8217;t. The man was kissing and touching his girlfriend in [...]]]></description>

		<title>One ticket, please</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Hi, I would like one ticket to We Need To Talk About Kevin at 7.&#8217;
&#8216;How many, sorry?&#8217;
(smile) &#8216;ONE&#8221;.
It&#8217;s been over 4 years since I last went to the movies by myself. I used to do it all the time while in high school and it never bothered me or made me sad. But today, while [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life is beautiful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday two of my friends got married. When the &#8217;till death do us part&#8217; moment arrived there were tears in my eyes. I still don&#8217;t know whether I was crying because I am not sure I will ever get married, because I am so impressed that they believe in commitment and marriage when less and [...]]]></description>
