Christmas is coming and I am strange :)

Enjoy the silence. This is what I am doing now...

It's almost Christmas and I am in...tananana: Bucharest... I think I am the only non-Bucharest citizen who is still here... But tomorrow night I will finally leave... Actually it was my decision to stay here and to enjoy the silence (yes, if you can imagine, Bucharest is more silent than my home in Oradea). I didn't want to hurry up and not enjoy all the decorations and the empty city (yes, because today Bucharest was empty) and travel without being crowded by too many people.

And another reason is because Ale came today and we had a meeting with all the girls, exchanged presents and talked for a while before Olivia and Cata went to their hometowns. And it was very nice to be back again all 4 of us.

I realised that I have no wish for Christmas, no letter to Santa, nothing... Will Santa surprise me this year? :) I hope so...

I'm still in a very good mood: I am looking forward to Christmas (with my friends, my mom and my dog - most important because we celebrate it every year since it was my gift 5 years ago) to the New Year's Eve (in the other part of the country, in the middle of nowhere, but with dear people close to me), to the elections (although I have to admit I am nervous), to my trip to Vienna (yes, again, and it's not even the only one planned :) ) to the new year that is in front of me...

Positive (unusual),

p.s.: Happy holidays!

Heaven and hell on Earth...

... both in the same week.

In the beginning of the week I realised how short life can be, and how your days are counted backwards from the moment you are born.

Although you can dream yourself being old, with your grandchildren in your hands (for example), it can change in only one minute... And my question is "why people are punished without having any fault?"

I visited a hospital this week... A hospital for children... Children who are dieing and who were not even given the change to be guilty for something in their life.. And it is terrible how your days can be counted not in decades but in years or even months or days, from the moment you are born because of a cruel disease.

At the same time, this week, I saw children who were given other chances, due to my colleague, Diana, who is part of a children choir and she invited us to a concert and the first feeling I had was that I was in heaven... Crystal clear voices started the magic moments and I was amazed during the whole concert. I remembered the moments when I was also singing in the choir and I remembered the feelings I had back then. Congratulations Diana for being passionate about music and for not giving up no matter what.

I am at home and I am still thinking about the chances each child has, about how not fair is life sometimes... And all I can say is "thank you" for being given the chance to live my life, my dreams... for being healthy.

NPS 2007...

I don't even know what to say and I don't even know what to start with.. So although this should have been a huge post, it will be a short one :)

It was great, great, great :)

I had a lot of fun, I met new people and I got the change to get to know better the newies from Bucharest (and not only).

I slept only a few hours per night but I didn't feel tired (except for the last night when I was very very random and I felt I could not keep myself together at all). I started with my Red Bull collection but in the end it was only me and my desire to stay awake :)

I had a challenging home group but I managed to adapt to their needs and wishes and it was fun. Different people, but very very nice, as a whole. People from @ BU but also from Iasi, Brasov, Oradea, Cluj, Pitesti and other LCs.

I relised that I love @BU and actually it was even painfull when during the FISH session I had to stay with another LC, because my first instinct was to go to @ BU delegation.

I remembered my first NPS and all the cool moments and memories that I have since then... I never forgot the wine on the roof, the FISH session, me skipping the "Single beggar, double beggar session", me sleeping during the whole night :) , "say we are @Bu" shouted with all my heart, the roll call, the journey to Amara, the badge and the map of Macedonia, the burning chocolate candies, the "wow" and many many other feelings that I had back then. And of course I never forgot my favourite picture :)

I am happy and this can be seen on my face :)
