Finally weekend

It’s Friday, the last working day of this week. Last Monday I was thinking how long would this week be, expecting the well deserved weekend out of Bucharest. Well, it did not pass so hard, but it was quite boring, I just didn’t fancy working or doing my dissertation paper, or anything else:). If I could have, I would have slept the whole week. But now, when I have only 3 more hours of work, I’m thinking only at the great road trip. I just adore to drive my lovely Leon.:)

As in the evening I’m leaving this stinky city, I won’t be writing anything until Monday. So I’ve been thinking to leave you a little homework for the weekend. Take a wild guess and give a meaning to the name of my blog. What does “V.P.C.O.D.” means? I’ll give u a hint - it’s in Romanian. I am very curious what your mind can come up with and of course I am sure some of the answers will be quite amusing. Fire away…

Have fun this weekend!!!

Love u. Take care.

Time Tested Beauty Tips

I just got back from an stock count in Cernavoda. I woke up at 6 and I was sleepy all the day. After we finished the work, our dear client had the wonderful idea to take us to lunch. (this is one of the parts i like so much about my work, when people take care of us:)) Sitting at the table, waiting for my order, I saw on a wall the following poem. I found it very inspiring, so i cannot help myself from sharing it with you:

"For attractive lips,
speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes,
seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure,
share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair,
let a child run his fingers through it once a day.

For poise,
walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone...

People, even more than things,
have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed ...

Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a
helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands.
One for helping yourself, the other for helping others"

Love u. Take care.

Crazy coincidences

The reason I am up at this late hour of the night is that I just came back from seeing „Clash of the titans”,which was exactly how I expected it to be. But nevermind the movie, let’s get back to the main topic.

It’s happening againg, and more often than usual. I don’t know if you also notice but there are moments in one’s life when incredible coincidences occur. You meet people after you just thought of them, something happens that you said it cannot happen to you…things like that. Well…one of those just happened tonight, after the movie.

Like most of you, I have also adhered to the Facebook movement and I can sadly say that I spend precious time “visiting” other people’s profiles and there are some that I like in particular, I can count them on the fingers of one hand. One of those persons is a guy, very handsome I may say:), who does commercials and stuff, and has on his profile photos of places where he has been traveling. Lately he just went to the US and I remember this because after seeing his photos was the first time in my life when I actually wanted to visit the US…well, the main idea is that yesterday I was admiring his photos and wishing I were there with him and tonight I saw him at the movies, and more exactly at the same movie…it was so weird, can’t say more than that.

Love u. Take care.

Prince charming just fell off his horse.

Have you ever been let down by people you thought you knew? I think all of us were disappointed by someone. Maybe even I have disappointed you lately, but there’s that saying “Forget and forgive”. It depends of course on the situation.

I’m going to tell you a funny story about a man I don’t know personally, but I had the chance to see him on several times. By the looks, if you meet him on the street he is an average, middle age man. The things that may give him away are the branded cloths and accessories. He is my friendly neighbor:)…well he lives in the house opposite to the one I work in, in the Primaverii neighborhood in Bucharest. He has parked in front of the house 3 cars. I would let you guess but I cannot help saying them :): a BMW, a Mercedes and a Chrysler. And guess what the man uses the subway…yap he does. Since I’ve been working there I have never seen one of his cars missing, he just moves them around as there’s no space for all of them in front of the house. Me and my colleagues, during cigar break, sit on the balcony and wander why the hell does he have those cars if the does not use them??? That’s a question we haven’t find the answer to yet.

The point I am trying to make by this little story is that we cannot judge a man by his simple appearance or one, two conversations. It is said that first impression counts, but does it hurt to give the man a second chance. From my latest experience I realized that it doesn’t. I met wonderful people lately…people that I didn’t like from the start, but got under my skin latter on. Patience is a great thing and only some of us know how to use it:)

Love u. Take care.

My best friends “maybe” and “I don’t know”…

Is it me, or are you all trying to get on my last nerves???

This post is from the bottom of my heart. Many of you have heard this speech before and still don’t give a shit. That is why I felt the need to put it on writing:)

The answer to a simple closed end question is “YES” or “NO”. What the hell does “MAYBE” or “I DON’T KNOW” mean??? What the hell guys, we are all grownups, we have the ability to know what we want to do or not, we have control over our lives, or you still need permission from someone else??? It’s not like I am asking you to merry me or something like that.

So in the future if I might dear to ask you something ever again (and you know I will, because I can’t help it) please think a little and remember that I am a little bit crazy and please tell me NO instead of “maybe”, I will accept thousands of “NOs” instead of one “maybe”. You’re killing me!!!!!! Make up your fucking mind!!!

OK, I am not the bad witch from the west, I can understand when you still don’t have your plans well ordered, but at least when you hit me with a “maybe/ don’t know” give me some arguments to make me understand your situation and to hope for a straight answer in the near future. Do like in the movies: “Let me check my schedule and I’ll come back to you later”:)

OK…I am a little relieved now:)

Still love u. Take care.

going back to better habits:)

I still can remember my first time. I believe I was 13 and I will always remember that day. It was a nice and beautiful day of spring when I’ve got exactly what I had wanted for a very long time:)

Stop thinking nasty things…I am talking about my first bike. It was love at first sight .And now after 11 years I am in love again. I have received from my dear, dear friends (and I will always thank them for it) a nice, practical bike. This happened on the 6th of February when I finally got to celebrate my 24th anniversary. Since it was so fucking cold outside I physically got my present in late March. Since then I began with small rides through the park and now I am using my wonderful bike to come to work. So you can see me every day from 8:30 to 9:00 and from 17:30 to 18:00 on the following route:

Calea Calarasilor-Strada Traian-Strada Mihai Eminescu-Strada Polona-Stefan cel Mare-Calea Dorobanti-Strada Teheran-Strada Pictor Ioan Negulici

and the other way around. So far I believe this is the quickest way, but I am open to new and interesting suggestions.

I hope I won’t die of gas intoxication from all the pollution. Beside this I don’t see any obstacle for me to spend all my summer on 2 wheels.

Love u. Take care.

what a woman can do to a man(part two)

As I promised I come back with the end of the story. The day almost ended and as i expected A did not call C as he said on the phone. And this is not the first time he just could not see his friend. Unfortunaly for him, C has decided not to care anymore and leave the situation to follow its normal course of action ...and this, my friends, has mariage written all over it. But that's what men without will (it's ugly to say balls) deserve.

Love u all. Take care!

P.S. I really don't understand why the time is set wrong. It's 23:21 and it shows 13:21...well i'm too tired to figure it now.

What a woman can do to a man…

Sometimes I myself am amazed of what a woman can do to a man.

Since the beginnings of time women were considered the weak and beautiful part of humanity, while men were the strong and working one. Nowadays we adopted the idea of equality between men and women and we strongly fight against discrimination. Equality my ass… There will never be equality between men and women just from the simple fact that we are different. You guys may be the physically strong ones but we are the strong on the mental side and we can play you as we wish. I am sorry to say this, but women are evil (at least the majority of them) and men are weak, they cannot leave to long without a woman.

Let’s take for example a young man (A), let’s say around 25 years old, handsome, strong, with a steady job and paycheck and a young woman (B), let’s say 21 years old who is still a student, leaving on her parents money and very spoiled. Let’s also suppose that this guy has friends, some of which are females, persons that he knows for far more years than his current girlfriend. One weekend, like this one for example, the friend (C) (who is a girl) feels the need to see her ancient friend (A) for a drink to catch up with the news. She picks up the phone and dials his number, the following conversation occurs:

C: Hi! How have u been?
A: Fine, and u?
C: Fine, where are u? Are u in town?
A: No, I am in …..
C: Oh…and when will you come back?
A: Later…
C: I was thinking we can get something to drink and catch up…
A: I’ll call u later…
C: Ok…if u say so…
A: Bye.
C: Bye.

Does this look like a conversation between two old friends??? “C” supposed that her friend, A, could not speak properly as he was accompanied by his extra jealous girlfriend, B. And the supposition was correct, 20 minutes later they met on the road, and the things got even weirder. When she saw his friend’s car, C wanted to make him a sign to stop, but as she got closer she saw B standing at his right and decided just to pass. After they passed one another A stopped, and C decided to stop too. A came to C and the following conversation took place:

A: What’s up?
C: Nothing, I’ m just getting back home. U? How are u? U don’t look so good…
A: Really…I’m fine…well, bye…
C: Bye…

And all this happened under the supervision of B who was sitting like a statue beside her precious, well trained man :)

And that was the story…if any of my friends finds himself in the description presented above it’s not my fault…it’s the reality. I am curious if A is going to call back C later…aren’t you??? I’ll keep you up to date with the end.

I am also looking for a great guy to share a life with but not for a pet. That is what this kind of men, who let themselves slaves to women are…pets, without thoughts and will. They just do what they are told to do and think only what their master tells them to, no matter what other persons, who they know and lived with for far longer say. They are puppets! And by this, I said it all.

When life kicks you in the ass…

Today I am sad. Why? Because I had one of those days when I realized how little and insignificant my life here on Earth is.

There are times when Mother Nature reminds us, human beings who is the real boss, and I am referring here to the chaos the Iceland Volcano eruption caused the last few days in the entire Europe. As we are the most evolved species on the planet we are under the impression that we can solve everything, but as we could several times so far see we cannot mess with the natural cycle of life.

Yesterday, around 8.30 in the evening I left Bucharest with destination Curtea de Arges, my home town. I left with the hope to get some rest and to get to do some research for my dissertation paper, another pain in my ass, but this, I will discuss it latter.

As on any other weekend spent home, I went to my aunts for lunch (a village 10 km far from the city). The kick in the ass that upset me so much came when I saw a crowd of people, with the same kind of bags in their hand leaving from the same place. And then, it hit me, I remembered that around Easter my aunt told me that a 12 year old boy died, just like that. His parents found him in a coma one morning, and the doctors could not operate the huge tumor on his brain because they could not get him out of the coma. I always prayed to have a simple, painless death, but at 12 years old seamed a little too much. The news upset my then too, but now when I saw that crowd of people commemorating 6 weeks from the boy’s death made me feel so mortal. I always hated this stupid and ancient habits of commemorating "n" weeks/months/years from one's death. Why don't just let the poor family in peace to get through the pain of losing someone loved. But if you don't do it you'll be considered a bad Christin...but let's not begin a discussion about religion because it can get messy.

Today's conclusion is that even if it’s sad, we are all mortals, and death is right around the corner.

I am sorry if I passed some of my sadness to you too; hope to come with better stories next time. Take care.

how to celebrate 1st of May?

The issue that began to draw my attention some days ago is the famous and glorious 1st of May, which, as in many other countries, in Romania is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labour Day.

As the internet can give you almost all the answers to your daily questions I was curious to see what the largest encyclopedia says about this holyday. Said and done…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_of_May. You may find intriguing the origins and the way people used to celebrate this day long…long time ago.

Since I can remember, in Romania, in order to celebrate this day, people usually go to Vama Veche or at any other destination at the seaside. I am proud to say that in the last 24 years of my life I haven’t got to see the “amazing” Vama Veche. And it’s not because I did not want to it’s just because I did not have the chance to do it. And now, 7 days before the wonderful day I am asking myself and my dear…dear friends how we should celebrate. Tough decision, but as I love to take on any challenge I shall begin, starting right now, during my work schedule :)) to find the perfect destination for the weekend.

my first post ever:))

Nowadays almost everybody has a blog. So far I really did not get to the point of understanding the meaning of having such a “thing”, and believe me I have seen all kinds. You may say I’m a hypocrite by starting my one blog, but you know the saying “if u can’t fight them, join them (and try beating them from inside out)” :). I think that the only productive purpose of such a blog is that sometime in the future, you, your kids, your grandchildren and so on will look back and see what your mind had produced so long ago, and I can only see the funny part of this entire process.

So many times before I have heard people telling me that you can find precious information on blogs, but let’s think for a second: how reliable can that piece of information be?, written by a person(most of the times unknown), presumably from their own life experience. How much has the internet made us believe and trust the things that are written on all kinds of web pages? Way to much, in my opinion. But what can we do?...we are addicted to it. I, myself cannot imagine the world without the internet, So you may ask “why do you complain so much?”…well…because I don’t have anything better to do. I really like to write…anything that comes into my mind, just to get to laugh about it latter…so let’s see how long will this last…bear with me on this:))
