my world

big brother

the world has gone mad...you know what's worst than your family prying into your personal life and having no privacy whatsoever? you don't? let me tell you...it's complete strangers prying into your life.

what's this have to do with me or how it affects me? well a few days ago some "brilliant" man (i suspect he has no life of himself and got bored watching the same lame shows on TV)suggested that a law should be passed so that all the phone calls shall be traced, listened too and recorded. and you know what's even worst? the fact that there were other idiots who thought that this law was great. so starting this week all the phone calls, e-mails and sms are recorded and will be used as proof against you if they're considered as a threat to public safty.

who do they think they are? this is BLOODY OUTRAGEOUS.

what they're planning on finding out from listenig to my calls or reading my mail is beyond me. oh wait i know...they wanna know how my diabolically master plan on skipping school or my job works. or they wanna know what i ate for breakfast, how many caffees i drink a day, or how many time i use the toilet. or maybe they just wanna know the latest gossip and they're just to lazy to read it in the newspaper. or maybe they started to suspect that i'm planning on throwing a rotten tomato(maybe an egg would be better though) to our president head(i've actually considered the possibility already).

dude there's nothing to find out from listeing to my calls. nothing intresting there. i tell you my life ain't that exciting. actually it is, especially the last few months :D but it's mine and mine only.

i have enough of my mum poking into my personal things. i don't need the national secret service to do it too.

there goes all my privacy. i can actually see it flying off my bedroom window right now. *waves goodbye to the freedom and sheds a tear". who knows when we'll meet again.

so grab your popcorn, get comfy cause Big Brother came back and he's watching you. and since they're listening to everyone, might as well set some cameras so they can watch us too. i'm sure it will more entertaining to put some faces to the voices.

Christmas

2008-12-24T22:08:00.000+02:00

Christmas...the holiday i love the most. it's the holiday i wait for 364 days a year. i don't remember when i started to love Christmas so much, but i don't think it matters that much after all.

i love everything connected to Christmas, from the lights on the streets to the Christmas dinner me and my mum prepare for our loved ones.

i enjoy so much walking around the city streets and look at all the nice decorated windows. i like to watch how people run around looking for that perfect gift that would make someone really happy on Christmas morning. i like the way the snow fells under my feet(though this year hasn't snowed yet). i like the way that everyone seems a little bit nicer this time of year. i like the way the city looks when i go out during the nights, all full of coloful little lights.

i like to see the little children who still believe in Santa, sitting on his lap in the parks or the big stores. and how they promise that they've been good this year hoping to get the toy they wish for so much.
i like to sound of our traditional Christmas carols. they make this time of year a bit magical.

but most of all i love decorating my Christmas tree. every year on on Chritmsa Eve i enjoy taking my time putting all the decorations around the house. and i like the fact that during this time nobody bothers me. it's like this simple activity gives me peace.

and i love to watch over and over again the old Christmas movies. it doesn't matter i've seen them so many times i've learned the lines, i still enjoy them as if it were the first time i saw them.

i love to sit on my bedroom window and watch the snow fall and covering the ground in a white soft blanket.
i miss my childhood Christmases spent at my grandparents home in the mountains where the time seened to stop with every winter.

no matter what people say this is the most wonderful time of the year. so i wish you all a Merry Christmas!!!

concert

2008-12-22T19:38:00.002+02:00

So a week has past since the concert but i still think everything was just a dream.
I still have a hard time finding the right words to describe the feelings i had before, during and after the concerts.
And i still cannot believe that after a long seven years wait i finally met my favorite artist face to face.
It's true i've seen him before in concerts and it was an amazing experience, but nothing came close to this year's meeting. once again he proved that he is an amazing person. a down to earth, friendly guy who with his personality can win the respect of everyone he meets. Even those who weren’t his fans or didn’t like him before the concert were won over by this guy.

Anyhow the concert was more than I ever expected it to be. The concert hall full with people that came from all over the country to see him. People who love him to bits and pieces. People who were expecting to have the best of time at this concert. And they did, they had the best of time. And all thanks to the great artist that David is. He took to scene by storm, full of energy like he does it at every concert. But this time it was different because it was in Romania, in a country that waited patiently for him for seven years now. But that wait was so worth it. The two hours the show lasted he didn’t stand still for one moment, jumping and running on the stage. It always amazed me how well he does it, singing(live- I admire him so much for the fact that he refuses to do play back in the concerts) and dancing/jumping/running all at the same time. But I guess this just shows how much he loves what he does.
All in all it was a great show. The only bad thing about it all is that it ended to fast. But mean while I’ll wait patiently for the next concert, and I’m sure it’s gonna be better than this one.

And also thanks to all the love for him i got the chance to met some awesome persons. Like some of them said he is our angel. and no other word can describe him better.

1st of December

2008-12-01T17:37:00.003+02:00

this entry might be a little unexpected coming from me. and i'll tell you why. in my group of friends and not only i'm not what you call the most nationalist ot patriot.
i'm the one who's always ready to leave the country in search for my happiness and a better future somewhere else. and i have to say i've lived for a while in Spain. and i don't regret one single day i spent there. but no matter how many friends i had there i still missed my country, my people, my family.

anyhow i could not let this day pass without writing something about it. well today is 1st of December our National Day. Today our precious country turns 90. 90 years ago on a freezing winter day delegations from all of the romanian provinces went to Alba Iulia to be united in what is today Romani. from my point of view i think it's still young.
we have a glorious past of which we are proud, but it's only up to us to build a future which i hope could live up to our past.

however the reason i'm so willing to leave, it's not that i don't like my country. i love it, it's the most beautiful country in the world because it's mine.
it's the people that run it that i hate and despise, the ones from now that is.

i love my country because it has a great history, with great historical figures who fought and sacrificed for our freedom and our independence. and i hate the politicians today that are ready to seal it for their personal purpose.
i love it because it gave the world great personalities like Brincusi, Cioran, Henri Coanda. i love my people because no matter how bad things are they never forget to smile, to sing and dance. i love them because they never give up and keep on fighting for what they believe in.

so what if not everybody sees us with good eyes? so what if we are not perfect? i couldn't care less how many bad things others say about us.
all that matters is that i am pround of who i am and i'm not ashamed to say that i'm Romanian.

so this is my country. not perfect in the eyes of the others, but perfect in mines.
a country with great, kind and warm people, with breathtaking landscapes wating to be descovered by those who are willing to give it a chance.

Hora Unirii

just rambling

2008-11-22T21:56:00.003+02:00

i'm getting more and more anxious about the concert. now that i've already bought the ticket(and gone broke) i can't wait for December 11th to come already. plus these days i'm re-descovering my love, passion, obsession for David. i kinda forgot how much i love his voice. as a friend of mine a long time ago said he has the voice of an angel. you can't listen to him and not get touched by his powerful yet passionate voice. as for me all i can say is that i cried when i first heard him sing :P

concert

2008-11-18T13:58:00.007+02:00

omg i'm so excited. i'm practically jumping up and down now :D

after oh so may year one of my favourite spanish artists is coming to Romania. and it doesn't really matter that i've already been to three of his concerts while i stayed in Spain, cause he's such an amazing artist, and each and every one of his concert is unique. and he's the type of artist that gives everything on the stage. and he's a a nice caring simple modest guy, with a big heart and the voice of gold. not to mention the way he moves those hips.... lets just say he would make lots of people jealous. plus he never forgets where he left from and he treats his fans like family members. and if you get the chance to meet him in the street he doesn't mind stopping to talk to his fans for a while. and i'm proud to say that i've been his fan from the first day i saw him six years ago.

but the most important thing is that i'm going to the concert, even though the ticket is 150 Euros and i'll be pretty much broke for a few weeks. gosh this is the best Christmas present so far

David Bisbal

the patriot in me

2008-10-21T15:18:00.006+03:00

today i woke up and felt really really patriotic. which can be considered a miracle since i'm the first to say that i wouldn't think twice about leaving my counrty forever. so why the patriotic feeling today?

the source of this feeling are the tons of turism offers i get every day to spend Christmas and/or New Year in any corner of the world. the sky is the limit. however none of the offers suggests Romania as a holiday destination.WTF?

we have beautiful breathtaking regions all over the country, all full of history and legends of all kind. the prices are huge, but we still have these place to go to. so i don't understand why nobody bothers to promote them.

so here i am, quiet indignated with all the travel agencies in my country. STOP promoting other countries and give ours a chance.

and to prove that we do have extremely beautiful places here's some pix

this is Sighisoara. i admit this pic is not the best. but to be true there is no photo that could capture the beauty of this town. plus is the only inhabited melieval citadel in all Europe

Sighisoara again :)

Sibiu. what can be more beautiful than a city in Transylvania. but i'm somehow subjective when it comes to this city. the mountanins make me love it the most

see how beautiful the city looks with the snow covered mountain behind

and this one amazing pic. it was the first and last time i've seen the see frozen. but it was such a unique sight

and our villages

trouble, big trouble

2008-10-15T22:45:00.003+03:00

everyone around me, both at work and home, have noticed that lately, meaning the last two weeks, i've been rather moody. however none of them knows the reason for my constant mood swings.

i'm sure they all tried to guess, but their guesses are so far from the truth. and i also know for sure the majority believed that i got pregmant. well like i've said so very far from the truth. i'm not pregnant.

anyway i got into trouble, like big kinda trouble. the kind you can't solve by saying "sorry". not that i would actually say those words seriously. i'm starting to believe that it's phisically impossible for me to say this word.

and you know what got me into this big shit? my mouth. that's right, my big mouth.
until now i never understood why my friends kept on telling me "sweety you have a big heart. Unfortunately you have an even bigger mouth. and it's gonna get you into big trouble sooner or later."
you see i'm the kind of person that acts first and thinks later.

well i lived to see the day my mouth got me into the worst situation possible, with the person that kinda has the power to decide over my future, academic and professional future.

first let me tell you how my misfortune started. last June i graduated from college. or at least that's what i thought. you see i had to leave the country and didn't attend the graduation ceremony, therefore i never got my diploma. but that's not the point.

so...
on my second year of college i had this misogynist teacher. i swear this guy hated every single female in his class. the boys were allowed to do whatever the wanted, while the girls were constantly harassed. we couldn't even ask a collegue if we happened to miss on something he said.

anyhow, during one class i did just that. i missed on something he said, so i asked my friend to tell me what he said earlier. oh i have to mention that there were other students talking around us. but they were all guys. so he pick on me and my friend. he asked to stand up. and we stood. then imagine his nerve. he actually wanted us to stand in the corner of the class facing the wall. how ridiculous is that? for god sake we were in college, not kindergarden. so i refuse. i told him i'd rather leave his class. but he kept insisting and i kept refusing. and the fact that i wasn't willing to do what he asked us caused him to finally explode and kick us both from his class.

this little incident made us rather popular around the campus both with the students and the teachers. but not the good kind of popular, well not with the teachers anyway. we, actually me more than my friend, were seen as trouble makers, who don't have any respect for their teachers, who don't attend class and so on.

however when the exams period started we were allowed to take the exam. which to everyone's surprise was an oral one. so i entered, i took it and passed it too. and i have to say i was preety shocked. i was expecting him to fail me since i was sorta the only student ever to defy him.
imagine how happy i was the moment i exit the exam. and my life was great until a few weeks ago when i went to the Uni to register for my master. then the not very kind secretary there let me know that this teacher never went to the secretary to register my mark. in their records it stated i never took that exam, let alone pass it. and to make things more complicated the teacher left for America and it's impossible to finds him. and i have not proof that i passed the exam :( sad i now.
and for this fact the same not very nice secretary decided(by herself, not even discussing the situation with our dean) that i should be expeled from college.

i got the shock of my life when she told me there is no way i could register for master when i haven't graduated from college and i was beeing expeled.
i wanted to kill her right there. nobody gets kicked out of school for one failed exam. especially when they had now idea about it. and you don't expel students who actually got a scholarship for their studies. WTH??!!
how cruel can they be?
and now she told me that i have to register in the last year of college again to be able to take the exam, which will hold me back a year. i just hope i can keep this from my parents, cause they will seriously kill me if they ever find out about this, since in order for me to get the best education i went to a prive school.

so you see my big problem is that i’m getting kicked out of school because i stood up for myself. what happened to the freedom of speech?
i agree that maybe i shouldn't have push things that far with the teacher, but what he wanted was simply impossible to do for me.

now if i could only find our dean and talk to her i'm sure things will turn out well.

so there it is my big huge problem that doesn't let me sleep at night. see how i'm really good at screwing up lives?
you need advice on how to screw up yours just ask. i'm always willing to help others :)

not that bad after all

2008-09-30T16:14:00.004+03:00

after moping around for the last few days the sun is finally shining again on my street :)
i know i said that i have nobody to blame but myself, but i was wrong. i found out that one evil woman is also to be blamed for my misfortune.

so a few days ago one not that nice person gave the worst possible news ever and scared me half way to death. a news that was actually putting an end to all my hopes and dreams for a bright future. i swear this woman hates me. or else how could she be so cruel to poor little me. but if thing turn out ok at the end of this week i might overlook what she was trying to do to me.

today however i tried to fix the mess i end up in because of this woman. and i got the helping and encouragement from the person i least expected. i tell you the feeling i had while walking towards his office was that i was heading towards my death. this man is such so scary at first sight, but so nice and willing to help once you talk to him.

so the final decision regarding my situation will be taken on friday and it looks like (i pray to god that nothing will go wrong) is gonna be in my favour.

and i swear this is the last time i'm getting in trouble. at least i hope so.
and if everything ends up ok i'll even tell what is that i screwed up.

reality bites

2008-09-28T17:43:00.003+03:00

Life sucks big time. and right now i know it better that anyone.

i feel like i'm about to go crazy at any moment.

if anyone needs advice on how to screw-up his/her life for good just come too me.

as if my life wasn't complicated enough at the moment, last Thursday i found out that i completly ruined my future. the moment i got the news it felt like my entire world crushed down before my eyes. i fucked up everything like i never though i could.
and the worst thing is i cannot talk to anybody about it. not my brother, not my best friend and mostly not my parents. it would kill them if they ever find out(not to mention they would kill me first). i've always been the perfect kid with the perfect grades at school and always on my best behaivour. if they happen to ever find out the mess i'm in right now they'll just be disapponted. how did i end up in this situation is beyond my understanding.

on Thusday i might get a chance to at least try to mend some of the mess. but if it doesn't work it's gonna take me at least 2-3 years to fix things.

and you know what's funny? the fact that i have nobody to blame but myself.

first snow

2008-09-21T16:04:00.001+03:00

i am happy. like really happy :)

why you might ask? well summer is finally over. *yay*

i know i know. i'm the freak that hates summer. well it's not my fault i like autumn and winter better. i remember i once said there's nothing i liked about summer...i did find someting i like about it, actually something i liked about it...the summer vacation(3 and 1/2 month of freedom). however now i'm an employee therefore no more summer vacation, therefore nothing to like about summer :P see how it all makes logic?

now lets get back to why i'm so happy.

though it's only September it SNOWED. the first snow of this year. well it didn't show in the city, but in the mountain.

and lucky me, i was there when it started. unlucky for me i was there with some friends who don't like cold as much as i do. as a matter of fact they hate autumn and winter as much as i hate summer. also the fact that we were dressed in shorts and t-shirts didn't help much either. but that didn't stopped me go play around in the snow.

to bad i had to come back in the city :((

see how beautigul snow is? all white and soft.

call us crazy

2008-09-04T13:38:00.000+03:00

can you spell crazy? ‘cause that's just the perfect word to describe the people at my work.
there is not one single person in the entire editorial office that is just a bit serious.
they all seem serious at first sight but it's just a mask to fool those who come to the office. man did i think i ended up in a serious professional environment when i first entered the office (that was almost 2 years ago).

but that illusion only lasted for about 5 minutes before my then to be future boss came storming into the room and after introducing himself asked you i want to drink something like a whiskey, a champagne, a vodka. now let me tell you, he's one great person, though he's smoking like a chimney and drinks like 10-15 energizers a day(i'm still amazed by the fact that he's still alive and more active than most of us)

i just let my present boss out of the discussion since he might actually read this. :P
i won’t even start on the boys from the studio and the never ending drinking sessions they have after they finish work. lets just say that the image you get to see towards the dawn is not a pretty one, but sure as hell is a hilarious one.

then there are the only 2 girls in the office. and the three of us are the ones responsible with adding the salt and pepper in the office. taken apart we all are almost sane girls, who can pass as responsible and professional (not that we're not when the situation asks for). But put us together and we can turn the building up side down.

i missed them so very much when i was on vacation. those were two extremely quiet weeks.
but now all three of us are back and ready for great deeds(which hopefully won't get any of us in trouble or fired).

and I swear it's like we are like a crazy people magnet. recently they hired some new guys for the studios, and they are just as crazy if not crazier than the rest of us put together.
so in the end i came to the conclusion that no sane person will ever come work with us.

but gosh i love all my crazy co-workers and i can't even imagine working somewhere else without them.

i am so not

2008-09-02T15:49:00.000+03:00

so, some of my friends have blogs and unlike me they actually update them almost every day.

it's not that i don't like writing on my blog but i'm a bit lazier than the normal person (not that i would admit that in front of anyone if ever asked)

i do however read their blogs. which led them to think that i am addicted to blogging in a more passive way (also something i would never admit to)

and to show me (though I think they were more intrested to see the results so they could tease me later) how addicted i am to this they made me take this test.

so here's the result

You are 67% addicted to blogging!
http://www.oneplusyou.com/bb/blog_addiction?score=67 my results

back home :(

2008-08-13T14:48:00.000+03:00

i actually managed to go vacation this summer. it may not seem much, but to me it means the world. i never get to take time off from my work.

anyhow i spent my two weeks vacation in Spain and France. one week in each country. though most people would say France is more beautiful than Spain and it has more things to visit, for me there's no other country like Spain, cause Spain is for me like my home away from home. the country is beautiful, and the people are so nice, and not just in one region but all over the country. and they always seem to be happy and with no worries at all. it's not the first time i go there but i never get tired of it. I love it so much there that i'm seriously thinking about going to live there in a few years. imagine the shock my parents had when the first thing i told them when i set foot in the airport was that i'm planning on going back to Spain for good. the look on their faces was priceless.

On the other hand i didn't like France at all. starting with the people and ending with the towns, villages everything (well almost, with every few exceptions) was disappointing. the only things I love were Versaille and Mont St. Michel. i also came to the conclusion that Paris is not that spectacular after all. if you take away the monuments from the center of the city Paris is just a town like any other. and the people are so unfriendly. now that i think about i regret a little going to France. i lost a week of my life in some place I didn't like. hh well no use complaining now.

so now I'm back home, with no more money on my card, with some regrets, but also with some memories, some great and some not that great, that i'll treasure for life. oh yeah and the only thing i'm left with from this trip are just the 1000+ pics i took.

most likely i'll be writing more about this vacation, cause all in all it was a great one.

it's summer time

2008-07-05T19:32:00.000+03:00

most of my friends already know this. but i really feel i should shout it to the whole world.
I HATE SUMMER

i can't understand why everybody is so excited about summer. i, personally don't like anything about summer. not one thing.
this is the only season of the year that i truly hate. i hate the heat of the sun and the feeling of sweat coming down your spine. it's like you're walking in one huge frying pan. i would so gladly skip this season. or at least i would love to live in a country with reasonable temperatures.
if i could i wouldn't set foot out in the streets during summer. but stupid things like work and social life won't let me.
really now the temperatures are unbelievable high even in the early hours of the morning. about two days ago at 8.45 a.m. there were 33 degrees C outside. if it's that hot at 8 a.m. can you even imagine how hot is at noon? no? let me share my pain with you: it's around 40-44 degrees C.

i wish we go right to autumn and winter. maybe if i wish really hard my fairy godmother will make it happen.

my first time

2008-07-01T20:44:00.000+03:00

hello world *waves like crazy to all the people who will not read this blog*

well i finally decided to take my friends advice and start a blog

so...here i am.

like many others out there this is my first time having a blog

unlike many i might suck at it big time

now please bare with me and my useless ramblings
