Debating. March 24, 2008

First projects, some small inisght into what my job will be. I start liking it more and more. A hotel somewhere on a mountain top, Cota 1400, Sinaia. Snow, and sun at the same time. Loads of people, young, old, all gathered here because someone in their company has decided to enable them to learn some more. Some more than their job allows them…some more, so they can become better professionals, and why not, better people.

But…out of the whole crazyness and huge ocean of thoughts, I stare out the window repeating :debate, debate. I’ve seen today how you can learn to debate. You have a case, you define the status quo, you identify the problem, the cause and the solution. Next to that, you define efects. You are not allowed to say “I don’t know”, ” I give up”, “I rest my case”…no. You stick there to your point…and try to find arguments for your ideas, for your thoughts and feelings. Shutting up is not an option. Definatly!!! Never ever! Now now…..I don’t say you have to be stubborn, if you do not have anymore points to sustain, if the other one debating the problem has pertinent statements, them you have to think twice about your idea. But, buttom line, never ever shut up if you have something to say.

Which brings me back to a very intersting movie, The Great Debaters! Worth watching.

Break after lunch-break :) March 21, 2008

Friday I’m in love! Definatly!!!

I’m in love with the upcoming weekend, even if it’s not gonna be the most peaceful weekend ever (big plans ahead). I’m in love with the music that is singing in my ears today, Malu – Diles, because it’s Spanish, because this song reflects exactly what I feel today.

I’m in love with the picture I found today on Beb’s blog, and that underlines my deep beliefs. I do belive in Chance, Choice and Decison. But most of all I belive in Promisses!!! Chance is you feel love, Choice and Decision…do u decide to go in the kitchen? If not, then you’re ok, you will not burn your fingers, but for sure you eventually will starve!!!  And then, do you promise to stand by me?

A day like all the others,yet, special. March 18, 2008

Sometimes you need to find some courage, deep deep down in your heart, to admit. I loved Atonement!

poate e un cliseu ….dar azi imi place March 14, 2008

Nu imi cumpar Tabu, pentru ca sunt fan declarat Marie Claire, si asta imi ia mult timp. Nici macar Elle nu mai am cand sa o citesc. Florina isi ia reviste peste reviste, si stau pe canapeaua din sufragerie. Eu ma rezum la una, dar nici pe aia nu am cand/cum sa o citesc, pentru ca se pare ca nu reusesc sa ma organizez bine cu timpul meu,astfel incat la sfarsitul zilei ajung acasa, ma uit cu jind la revistele de pe pat, si ma duc la dus.

Inca o data, nu imi cumpar Tabu, insa de fiecare data cand ma duc la Cristina, ma pierd in editorialele lui Alice Nastase, care imi place de mor cum scrie. In concluzie, m-am apucat de citit “Dincolo de bine, dincoace de rau.Despre Iubire”, de Aurora Liiceanu si Alice Nastase ( cartea o pot citi in metrou, cu Carla Bruni in urechi, ca o pot tine in mana, inghesuita fiind de restul de sute de oamnei din metrou. Sau si mai bine, daca incerc sa cobor Cotroceniul dimineatza, se poate citi si in masina…no panic).

Va recomand sa cititi macar un articol de al ei, sau orice scris de ea…e un fel de Dobrovolschi feminin, care pe langa sarcasm si observatii taioase mai adauga si niste sentimente, senzatii si trairi. Multe. Ca o femeie ce e. Daca ar avea o emisiune de dimineata la alt post decat Guerilla, poate m-as gandi de doua ori pe cine sa ascult, pe ea sau pe Dobro cu Craioveanu.

Articolul meu preferat e “Mari iubiri si mici inghesuieli”, precedat de o replica din “The English Patient” “In fiecare noapte te scot din inima mea si in fiecare dimineata te gasesc acolo la loc”.

Merita investitia de timp pentru a avea o perspectiva diferita. Avem nevoie de perspective diferite in viata, si mai ales in iubire.

I’ve learned. March 10, 2008

…and keep learning every single time the sun goes up again. I’ve learned that:

-i love to have my morning coffee on a terrace under the sunday morning sun

- in my life, I can chose to either miss and be sad, or to miss and be thankful. I chose to miss and be thankful.

-I always have to listen to what my feelings tell me. Even if this means being in a roller-coaster of feelings every single day. Because at the end of the day, only the good feelings crawl togehter with me to bed

- I have the right not to be perfect. I am not perfect, far from perfection even, but this is what makes me  the way I am.

- I can,want and will make special things and gestures for special people. I am to addicted to the feeling of happiness

-I can’t skip steps, in my new job, even if I want to know it all….because at the end of the day, the journey matters,not the destination

-and most of all, I’m learning every single day that having friends matter the most. Real friends, the ones that you sit down and talk to, after coming back home at 4 am in the morning, and still take time to listen to each others crap. Because that crap is important to me. Weather it’s mine or not.

-dreaming is the best way to reach success. Just try it!!!

just breathe… March 6, 2008

Grey’s and Karin, Katjushka and Paris. And Alcatel-Lucent HQ And sushi at my place and girl’s night. And laughter, crying and fighting. And emotions. And just breathe….

enjoy feelings whatever they are. if they make u tremble, if it’s love or sorrow, or both, or none, just be greatful for them. butterflies all over the place.
