let's fly

Since I've began blogging a year ago I also started to read other persons' blogs...some are boring, some are just for gossip, but there are also some that are informative and challenging.

From such a blog I found the following challenge which I am also giving it to you today...I know that most of my friends and I hope that most of the people that read this blog love to travel and will find this an opportunity to do so...so, the idea is that KLM gives us the opportunity to fly to Amsterdam...ya, it's a contest...I know that most people hate getting into this kind of things because they are skeptical of the outcome...but believe me when i tell you that this one has a very funny and entertaining part...so let's do it for the fun:)

All you need to do is to use the Facebook application (I know how much you love facebook) Romania KLM create your own "Tile" - by choosing a picture, put a little make up and choose a slogan. Finally the the Facebook application will allow you to save the picture you created on your computer so you can admire yourself and even use it as a new screensaver :))

Hope I got you interested...and to give you a sample of the final result here is my masterpiece (after totally blowing the first one:))):

Ready....steady...go....

Good luck to you all!

Love u. Take care.

Free for all

Last Saturday night was European Museum Night, which takes place every year in the middle of May, when museum doors open free of charge and people flock to see and participate in the many cultural activities and spectacles put on for the delight of all. The atmosphere is both festive and cultural. The fun lasts from sundown until late in the morning and it is proving to be a big hit with children, young people and veteran museum-goers alike.

At the begining I didn't realy want to go because I knew from last year's night that half of the city rushed to the museums and in the middle of the night the center of the city was paralyzed with cars...but as I didn't have anything better to do, I went.

I left home around 10.30 pm...first on the list was Bellu Museum, the biggest and one of the oldest cemetery of the city. I had seen it before, a couple of years ago, but never went into a cemetery during the night. I was suprised to see that they realy organised the place, with signs, visiting maps and lighted candles on the main paths.

Next was the Museum of National Contemporary Art, which is situated in the back side of the People's House. From the moment I saw the amount of cars parked everywhere around the entrance I could imagine what queue awaited us at the entrance....

...but after only half an hour we managed to get in and I was very suprised of what we found inside...4 floors, each with different a theme.

It took us a while to go through all the exhibits and around 2.30 a.m. we decided to go home. Overall it was a very nice and pleasent experience and I really recommend it for the future.

Love u. Take care.

how could you?...how could I?

In the last years I've experienced quite a lot that terrible feeling of not recognizing a person who once had a very important role in my life: friend, boyfriend, colleague and even parent...and I began thinking that all that time, spent with them, believing they were different was all a lie...that my life was a lie.

The person I am today wouldn't have accepted most of them and cannot imagine how they ended to affect me so much. But the truth is that disappointment changes everything. It makes me group people on behave of mistakes made by others and I know that's not fair but the instinct of self defense is stronger than anything else. I always say that it takes time and patience to know someone for real but I think I ran out of patience a lot time ago. This may explain the fact that all my close friends are those I had 10 years ago and since then the new ones were all just passing through.

I hate when people I used to trust disappoint me, from one reason or another. It was my fault too, because I am very demanding and maybe I ask people more than they can afford to give. So if I don't ask I won't get disappointed...perfect solution, right? I just have to figure that out.

The teddy bear incident

The following story happened last Saturday night and it's known as "The teddy bear incident". People who know me pretty well know that I have at my car key a teddy bear keychain so I can easily find it in my bag.

Last Saturday I went to a club with some old good friends who I hadn't seen for a while. The club was El grande Comandante. I don't know how many of you know it, but that thing is like a maze, with endless hallways and many little rooms.

When I usually go clubs I don't like to carry a bag, because I am afraid I might lose it in the crowd, so that night I just took my phone and some money in one pocket and my car key in the other pocket - with the teddy bear hanging outside my jeans.

At one moment in the evening, around 1 a.m. one of my friends wanted to leave and because he didn't know the place I took him to the exit. It was pouring outside, so I just said goodbye and went back in the club. After getting down the staires, I realized the teddy bear was gone...and with it my car key. I freaked out and went directly out in the rain to see if my car is still there - the fact was that I really tried to park it as close to the club as possible, so anyone who had found the key and played a little bit with it could have found the car - great...right? The club was packed, there were hundreds of people everywhere, find the key by myself was close to impossible.

I was already thinking I had to stay all night guarding my car in the pouring rain and I didn't even wanted to go back in the club. As I was staying by the door of the club, trying to call one of my friends up to tell her the story, I thought I might ask the 5 gorillas guarding the entrance if I can talk with someone about the incident.

"What car do you have?" asked one of them. I didn't want to tell them...but I hadn't anything else to lose (except my car:)) so I finaly told them. After letting me boil for a minute or two one of them took out of his pocket my car key and starting waving it in front of my eyes asking me how am I going to prove that it's the key of my car. They eventually gave me my key back but not without making a little fun first.

That's the story of how I almost lost my car key. I began thinking that it was quite impossible for the key to just fell down of my pocket...but as the story had a happy end, I decided to take the positive part and think that there are still some good guys in this freaking city.

Love u. Take care.

I'm still kicking:)

Hope nobody thought that I forgot about my precious blog...well, I didn't, I just wasn't in the mood...it must have been from the awful weather and the stinky rain that always drops uninvited:)

Since my last post I've experienced an Easter, with a lot of food, drinks and guests, a labour day (1st of May) which was unfortunately for us this year a Sunday, but we still took advantage of the weekend and went to visit a Salt Mine - Ocnele Mari and last week the company organized a work shop somewhere in Slanic Moldova...very far and very cold...fortunately for me I was one of the few that got away without a cold (at least until now).

What else???...oh, ya...I am planning a trip to Kiev this summer, most probably in august, 4 days by car...if anyone is interested you know where to find me.

Promise to be back very soon:)

Love u. Take care.
