So I’m back home – safe and sound. Turns out the trip to IKEA resulted in me having a productive Sunday. I went to IKEA and among the clever stuff that you can find there, I stumbled upon some really cool wall decorations that I just HAD to ‘install’ the very next day. :D I wish I could tell you it was a piece of cake, but it wasn’t all peachy like that.

I chose a pattern with elegant black flowers, which turned to be tricky to paste onto the wall. Between trying to figure out what is the best artistically pleasing way to arrange the flowers, constantly getting frustrating with the narrow place I had to work with, I also had to deal with a control-freak mother who would not get off my back for even one second!!! You know the annoying mothers and their outrageous behaviours you see in comedies? Well mine acted like one! Or worse…  She would keep on giving instructions and advice on how the design should go, and when she got tired of that bossy attitude, she would immediately turn to being the victim ’cause she was doing ‘the fool’s job’, she had nothing to say, etc. OMG, WOMAN, ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!?

Well finally she got so upset, or, as I like to believe, my desperate cries for independence got through to her, that she left the room and I was at peace, at last!! I did my thing and this is what came out:

 

Gorgeous, I know! : ) )

Also, while in Bucharest, I took the opportunity to buy a DVD, which I know is perceived as a profanity. Even the guy at the cash register asked me ‘Oh, you haven’t seen it yet?’ with a surprised look on his face. ‘No, I have. It’s for my collection’, I replied. Which movie, you wonder? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – part 1. I do actually have a sort of collection with all the movies in the series, except the 5th one (I’m not sure about the 6th either). I was actually drawn to the second CD, which included additional scenes, documentaries, and a video which explains how they managed to create 7 x Harry Potter at the beginning of the film. I’m aware of the fact that I may sound like a nerd right now, and I probably looked like one when I got out of the store, but, to be honest, I don’t really care. :) One can invest in their hobbies, right?

Have a good week!

Why I love Sundays

Well since I’m bored out of my mind, I’m going to write something completely random in English, so that I’ll put my mind to work and convince myself that I’m not lazying about. Oh, how I love the weekend and its ‘chill’ air that kills my momentum. I swear, every single time Friday approaches I start making these awesome and productive plans that manage to balance work and study with fun and entertainment… but when I see myself out of school on this day, I instantly turn into a mouse-potato and all my ambitious dreams are replaced by precious time wasted on web browsing.

Coming back to my topic of choice, which is the one and only great Sunday!!! There is something special about this day of the week, if I may take into account the fact that my laziness is at its peak then. Maybe it’s the way it’s supposed to be, you know, being the Day of Rest, when you should be spending your morning in church, listening to the elevating Liturgy and reflect on your spirituality. Sadly, this does not happen in today’s adolescent cultural activity. Frankly, I don’t blame anyone, I wouldn’t even dare to go out on this horrific weather for any other purposes than going to school – please note that if I am desperate to go out in the afternoon/evening, it is probably because I have suffered a  severe stroke and I need medical attention. (OH MY GOSH I have such a short attention span, I turned to Facebook stalking in like, what?, 5 minutes?!!)

Alright, let me be more straightforward before I completely forget my idea.

(I really couldn’t help myself. I love this picture, I miss spring and I want it now, so I posted this photo)

I love Sundays because I wake up late, and after a really good night sleep; because  I feel completely relaxed all day long, as if time froze for a while; because I don’t have a lot to study and hardly any homework for Monday (well, except English); because it’s the best time to enjoy my favourite TV shows – Nikita and C.S.I New York; because I have the most delicious breakfast of the week. I love Sundays because I can plan them however I want – spice them up or cool them down… they twist to fit the mold that I am in.

Therefore, Sunday may soon become my favourite day of the week.

Have a great weekend! (and please pray for me not the get stuck on the road to Bucharest because of some random heavy snow)

I love her! ^^

 

Recent m-am implicat intr-o actiune/proiect de voluntariat, iar in urma cursului de frmare din weekend-ul asta a trebuit sa ne formulat impresiile intr-o jumatate de pagina. Asa ca am dat copy-paste, pentru ca mi-e lene sa mai incropesc alte cuvinte pentru a transmite aceleasi idei. : ) ) 

Am pornit la drum cu mai multe semne de intrebare decat puseuri de entuziasm, dar am iesit cu un sentiment de implinire, cu o experienta frumoasa inregistrata in minte si cu noi prietenii legate.

La inceput nu stiam exact in ce va consta, mai ales intr-un timp atat de scurt de numai 3 zile, si nu eram sigura daca imi va face placere implicarea in acest proiect. Dar, odata ce am trecut de reticenta initiala, dupa prezentari si „jocurile” de autocunoastere, totul a devenit clar. La sfarsitul primei zile, abia asteptam sa vin dimineata urmatoare, curioasa fiind de a vedea ce se va intampla atunci si ce teme vom aborda.

Modul de prezentare a fost ireprosabil. Formatorii au expus ideile concis, dar totodata intr-un mod care  sa atraga atentia ascultatorilor. In plus, activitatile practice au contribuit la invatarea informatiei mai usor, identificand si solutionand problemele reprezentate de studiurile de caz. Lucrul in echipa nu a fost niciodata plictisitor multumita faptului ca partenerii au fost, in majoritatea cazurilor, altii, astfel avand ocazia de a lucra cu toata lumea si de a ne apropia unii de altii, ascultandu-ne opinia si colaborand armonios.

Au fost atat momente serioase, cand procesam informatia, dezbateam argumente, ofeream pareri, realizam „brainstorming”, cat si momente relaxante, in care ne „descreteam fruntile” cu cate o gluma, un zambet, un „energizer” (intotdeauna bine-primit), o pauza.

Per ansamblu, consider ca ideea de a ma implica in acest proiect a reprezentat cea mai buna decizie si sunt nerabdatoare sa prezentam informatia in scoli in a doua etapa a acestui proces. Sunt fericita ca am ales fundatia „Tineri pentru tineri” pentru a-mi incepe activitatea de voluntariat!
