Last weekend I experienced something I’ve been meaning to for a long time – ride a hot air balloon. How did it happen? Our handy cell phone company Orange, organized a contest called “5 weeks inside a balloon” – all you had to do is fill out one of their papers and they would choose [...]

Playing with the alphabet
Lately I’ve been pondering on a new idea, inspired by my fellow blogers – the alphabetized posts. So, starting very soon I shall embark on this journey, giving importance to each letter of the alphabet. Though it’s pretty hard to come up with words that mean something to me, I take it as a challenge [...]

I hate cell phones
Cell-phones. A tiny piece of technology, meant to bring people together. Back in the day, when the West (and other cardinal points) was young, the amazing minds of engineering came up with this modern equipment. The first cell phones were jokingly called “bricks” as they had the shape and size of such construction material. But [...]

The miracle we call “sleep”
Almost every single morning when I wake up, I think to myself: “I wish I had just a couple of more minutes to sleep”. It always fills my heart with joy when I know my schedule is flexible, and when that obnoxious phone starts to ring to kidnap me from the land of dreams, there [...]

Step 1 in self-improving
Who would have thought swimming takes it out of you? There I was, just me and the large body of water (swimming pool) gazing at one another. It challenged me. I took up the challenge. The first 4 laps were great. And I was beat. I thought “how in the world will I be able [...]

What not to wear
First of all, I have no fashion sense. I don’t understand the concepts behind it, I look at the OMG Yahoo! pictures, the “What were they thinking” category, or simply at the pictures of stars strutting their stuff on the red carpet and when I read the caption I am stunned because dresses or outfits [...]

Tattoos
Fashion item? Body modification? A desire to prove something? I think a tattoo holds a little bit of everything. Some people get tattoos because other people do it; some do it to prove it to themselves and others that they can do it; some get them to immortalize a memory, an idea or desire onto [...]

New beginning
Yes…I’ve finally done it. Took that leap of faith and built my own website. Not by myself mind you, I’m not that great in the cyber-world, but with the help of a trusted friend I managed to start this little corner of the internet I can proudly call mine. Back in September I started my [...]

100 things about me
I thought what better way to start the year than with a “100 things about me”. I know it’s not an original idea but hey, nobody’s perfect. So, here goes! 1. I believe distance should not get in the way of friendship. 2. My favorite movies are: any Harry Potter, The sweetest thing, Sister act, [...]

Escape
Have you ever felt like you wanted to escape? I mean REALLY escape. Lately I’ve been experiencing this feeling. It’s like my body and my mind are prepared at any moment to flee. A lot of things happened that “helped” me reach that point of “that’s it…no more”. This feeling is hard to describe, make [...]

Freedom
Today I ran. After the bus, that’s true, but still I ran. You’re going to ask, so what’s the big deal? The deal is, I ran after 5 months of non-running. And there’s a reason for it – my surgery. The end of June found me in the hospital, to have surgery for a little [...]

How to have a bad day in 5 easy steps
Today I had a really bad day. Being Tuesday, and this day always brings me the worst there is, I felt not so annoyed, up till one point. It started this morning, when I had to wake up earlier than usual to wait for my dad, who promised to bring the car to my place. [...]

Tastes and slaps
Tastes and slaps have one thing in common, you’ll never find two exactly the same. You won’t have two different persons telling you they like the EXACT same things. The tastes vary according to music, movies, people and the categories could go on and on and on. For instance, a very good friend of mine [...]

My favorite month
As of today it’s my favorite month – December. I truly love this month. Back in the day when I was young, it signaled the end of school and the start of the winter holidays. It meant snow, letters to Santa, putting them on the windowsill, getting all excited if those letters disappeared, overjoyed when [...]

Things that make me happy
Once again it was time for self-reflection. What things make me happy? Do THINGS make me happy? what kind of things? material things? does that make me materialistic? This is pretty much the train of my thought. I know, if you knew me you’d think I’m a nut case. And you would be right. Last [...]

A tribute to my friends
Throughout my twenty-something years (please notice I have age issues – must be getting old) I have met a lot of people. I kept in touch with some, forgot others, needed to forget others and some of them managed to cross that barrier of trust, becoming what I consider to be friends. I have very [...]

First day as a student…again
Today we started classes as 1st year students at the Romanian-English department of the Faculty of Letters. When I saw the schedule that my new “career” starts with 4 hours of Latin, I was not a happy camper. To say I loathe it would be a gross understatement. But this morning came, woke up at [...]

My someone
Hello, my someone! Are you there?…do you know?…can you feel me?…maybe not…i see you every day, but I don’t think you see me….I always want to talk to you, but I can’t….fear is gripping my throat and all I could feel is the faint scent of despair… Where are you?…I haven’t seen you in a [...]

Being yourself
The hardest lesson in life is to learn about who you are. And not from the point of view of others, but from yours. Some people tend to be too self-critics (as am I), others tend to be too indulging with themselves. Throughout your life you meet people who change you (if you let them), [...]

Coffee
Today I did something I’ve never done before. I made coffee…for me. I never drink coffee in the morning, at least not at home. After getting up (the clock kept nagging me to wake up), showered and had breakfast. Then a thought hit me “let’s see how other people start their mornings”. From there it [...]
