The Right Brain vs the Left Brain Test

M-am uitat de multe ori la chestia asta, dar pana acuma nu am vazut nimic interesant. Mi s-a parut logic sa vad ceea ce vedeam: se invartea intr-o singura directie. Nici nu imi imaginam ca se poate invarti intr-o alta directie :) Voi ce ziceti? Se invarte clockwise sau anti-clockwise? The Right Brain vs the Left Brain Test

Prima intalnire a tinerilor din Fratelia cu sora Mariana

Vineri, 19.10.2007

Iata cate ceva din ce s-a intamplat:

- avand in vedere ca joi a fost ziua sorei Mariana, am surpins-o cu un mic cadou din partea noastra. Ia sa vedem daca veti ghici ce a primit :)

... un ingerash, desigur :)
... unul pe care inca nu-l avea

Noua moda in materi de "agatzat" pe mess :D

ei, da... vremurile se schimba... unde sunt zilele in care aruncam cu biletele prin clasa :P mda... trecute... acum, cu ultima tehnologie, se "agata" tipe pe mess si cu status-uri si avatare cat mai mishto :)) unii cred ca sufera deja de paranoia: daca ii adaugi pe lista de mess, si ii saluti, inseamna ca vrei sa-l/o agati :D ...comportamentul a ramas la fel, ca in clasa a V-a.

Fum, smog si bezna...

... a venit toamna, frunzele parasesc copacii... si Timisoara este invaluita in fum, smog si bezna... la ora 19:30 este deja destul de intuneric. Noroc cu iluminatul stradal. Asta in cazul in care functioneaza. Am crezut ca numai stradutele laterale sunt neiluminate, dar cand am ajuns in centru, in afara de firmele luminoase si minunata fantana, nu era nici un bec functional :(. Poate e o defectiune minora si se remediaza in cateva minute. Pana ajung in statia de autobuz, sigur va fi lumina din nou. Dar nici gand. A sosit autobuzul, am urcat, am ajuns in Sagului, unde m-a intampinat un fum ingrozitor (cu smogul deja sunt obisnuita, el devenind deja un fenomen destul de persistent in ultimii ani) si ... bezna!!! Pe langa asta, trebuia sa fac un mic slalom printre gaurile de pe santierul de lucru aka trotuar. Au spart de cateva saptamani, dar inca nu au apucat sa repare. Nu stiu de ce ma mir. Ca de fapt Bd. Rebreanu este in reparatii continue (nu cred ca a prins an fara sa fie spart udeva) de cand s-au pus sinele de tramvai :)) Intotdeauna se schimba ceva in Sagului :)) Doar ca odata pornita schimbarea, se misca foarte incet! Cu incetinitorul, as putea spune. Dar, spre marea mea surprindere, cand am ajuns in fata scarii mele, iluminatul stradal era din nou functional! Yupiiiiiiii!!!

"excursie" in Franta

Pe la sfarsitul lunii septembrie am avut ocazia sa vizitez un pic din cel mai romantic oras din lume. Si aici chiar ma refer a : un pic. Intre cele doua zborurui am avut cateva ore pentru a vedea cate ceva. Nici macar nu puteam decide ce anume vroiam sa vizitez, fiindca erau atat de multe. Mi-am dorit sa vizitez Notre Dame-ul, care a fost superb. Pacat doar ca toata lumea fotografiaza si practic a devenit un punct turistic, si poate cateva ore pe zi isi recapata linistea. Am avut imprsia cand am intrat in minunata constructie, ca ma aflu intr-o statie de metrou. Toata lumea se ingramadea si faceau poze, parca ar fi trecut o personalitate pe acolo in acel moment. Cu greu reuseai sa simti din linistea si implinirea oferita de o biserica. Daca reuseai sa ignori toata miscarea din jurul tau, atunci intr-adevar admirai o opera de arta si simteai adevarata mangaiere oferita intr-un astfel de loc.
La intoarcere am apucat sa vad ceva din vestitul Champs Elysee :D Minunat. Adevarata forfota. Mi-as fi dorit sa vad Louvru-l si sa petrec o seara in cartierul latin. Da poate data viitoare.
La Lannion nu e foarte mult de vizitat (in afara de enormul "campul" de la lucru :)) ). Dar in schimb am vizitat un pic din Perroz-Guirec si imprejurimile. Am vazut Cote de granit Rose, apusurile minunate de pe malul marii si am savurat cea mai scumpa cina din viata mea. A fost minunat!
Normal ca nu o sa amintesc de oboseala acumulata in acea saptamana nebuna de fuga :)).

vreme vine, vreme trece...

azi dimineata in drum spre lucru un coleg mi-a atras atentia asupra unui fenomen tare ciudat. cu doua saptamani in urma era circa > 35 grade C (si eu imi amintesc perfect, avand in vedere ca stateam in pat cu o febra de 40 grade, acoperita cu doua paturi si dardaiam de frig). Doar ca in dimineata asta, dardaiam din nou. singura diferenta fiind, ca nu mai eram in pat si nu mai aveam febra: eram in drum spre lucru si afara erau in jur de 10 grade, anuntandu-se o maxima de 12. foarte frumos. am intrat in toamna. doar ca vremea asta e caracteristica in a doua jumatate a lu' octombrie, in nici un caz la inceputul lu' septembrie. sau ne-am obisnuit prea tare cu caldurile? oricum, fie canicula sau vreme urata, iara se anunta cod galben in toata tara. de cand cu codurile astea, vedem romania mai colorata: cand in galben, cand in portocaliu, cateodata in rosu si verde.

Is it all about s-e-x?

I had an interesting weekend. Felt like I was a little alien who came to study mankind and all day long watched educative videos. And the conclusion was: the only thing that men want from women is: s-e-x. Now think: when was the last time you had a conversation with a guy and there was no sexual connotation. I don't mean business-related discussions :). Maybe this is why there is no such relationship like buddies between women and men. There is a really high possibility that one of the parts would consider (even if only once) something more than pure "buddy" relationship.
OK, I can admit that they have a huge amount of testosterone and they have to deal with it and they can't pass by a beautiful women without saying something, like "hello angel", "hi sweetie"... that's just the nature of men. That's a proven fact. If it isn't so, why is Hefner selling that many magazines and having a million dollar business. :D
But ladies, use this in your advantage! Just let them think they are the boss :D but convince them to do things your way :)

A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing (Melissa Banks)

It isn't the kind of book that I usually read, but I guess I was in the mood. A lot of things happened with me in the last two months, so I was the "perfect candidate" to read this book. At first, as the title suggested, I was expecting to read about "practical" advices :) but it was much more fun to read something else. All the doubts and the questions of Jane Rosenal seemed to be mine. And in the last chapter seemed to summarize all the action ever lived by Jane. It was son intense and she was so desperate not to make a mistake, because she finally found the man she was waiting for, that she made the biggest mistakes ever. I start to wonder if everyone is making those kind of mistakes (big ones) when is in love or don't want to loose someone they consider to be the one? I had that kind of feeling Jane had at Sophie's wedding, when she met Robert once in my life: the same attraction she described. But the situation was much more complicated. Jane had the chance to "play" with Robert's feelings and to date him, but it's not so easy for me to do. I think that for me, it will remain an electrocuting feeling every time I will see him, but nothing more will happen between us :) I really curious if that kind of feeling can be if he is not feeling anything for me? Can it be?

Diploma exam & banquet

Well, it passed... I was very nervous... even with weeks before the presentation. But the worse thing was, that I couldn't face the fact that I am really stressed. Even if I had the whole work done with 4 weeks before the actual exam, I did my powerpoint presentation only at the last minute: the night before the exam. It wasn't that hard and I tried to postpone it... I even invited my friend, Angela over my place so she could rehearse her presentation and helped Roxana with her presentation too. It was really easy for me, because I had it all in my head and everything was so logical and clear. I finished really quickly.
And than the exam day came... I was scheduled to start in the evening, but I couldn't stay home, so I went to school around 11. The ones from the morning group were a little bit relaxed as they were waiting for their grades. But I was agitated until I entered the room... and then, I even forget my name :)) I did a lot of presentations before this one, but it seemed more important :D After I started the powerpoint presentation, everything went back to normal: it was only me and the presentation and I started talking about things I knew... Two of the four professors went out of the exam room and the other two started talking with each other. It seemed like they weren't paying any attention to my presentation :( And of course, in the end, they had no "real" questions, because they weren't paying attention... I was a little disappointed, but everyone tried to warn me about this... but I was ignoring them :D
So, this was the whole diploma exam... a lot of stress... for nothing :D
And after all the stress passed by, we had the banquet... Yep, it was other kind of stress: dress, shoes, hair, make-up... all kinds of things that I didn't care about before. But when I found myself going alone to the party, I suddenly started to give importance to those kinds of things.
It was really great after all... I finally had the chance to talk to friends from my first years of study... I danced... I had a great time! Ok, it was a little "telenovela" story too... I kinda got caught into it... but it was enjoyable. It's really easy when you don't put your soul into not very important things... you have to prioritize... don't be sensible for something that is not in your top position of the priority list!
ENJOY LIFE!

Wired up!

have you ever experienced that state when you have many things on your mind and it seems like you are in some kind of trance state? The time seems to pass very slowly and it seems like you are in some kind of super accelerated state. Like you are 10 times faster than things surrounding you. You can do all the things that you have to manage? It seems like you are invincible :D

My last days of school!!! :P

Well, it's finally here! The last days of school! Like every end is a little bit stressful, but it came with the package :) In a few days, I will be an engineer :) Yummy!!! that's why I "worked" for 5 years! Does it seems to be a long period? Not at all. It's like it was yesterday... when I was sitting night by night at the balcony, solving math problems, so I'll be prepared for the exam... and those 5 years just passed me by... But I have many cheerful memories, like: stressful professors, exams, but most of all: friends/beer/party/festivals/team-work. Yeah! It was great to meet new people, especially people from all over the world. And I experienced team-work! It's a big asset. It was today when somebody came back from an interview and told me that they asked him if he is a team-player. But he said, that never in his faculty years had experienced team-work. The only thing that could pass by as team-work was the projects done in groups of 2 or 3 people, but there only one of them was doing the whole work and the others just watching... so, I think I was really lucky! Maybe those were the most beautiful days yet! And in a few days it will be over... so, there is time for a new start! What would it be? I'm really curious... :P

ISWI 2007

Well, maybe the best festival days of my life... Actually it was for the first time that I didn't need to check if everything is in place, if any participant needs my assistance or if I have all the workshop materials needed for the workshop :) The best 10 days :) and many new friends!

Actually it was a quite adventurous adventure. It was my first time ever on a plane and the first time I missed one :)) So, on my way back I decided to hitch hike! :) It was a great adventure: I saw a part of Austria and made new friends and even catch the last train to Romania from Budapest Keleti!

It was "time to think" and maybe in 2 years we will meet again and then will be "time to act" :P

But... I can't go on saying nothing about my workgroup: MUSIC! The best group ever. It was great to see that people from Indonesia, Mexico, Byelorussia, Azerbaijan, Singapore, ukraine, Germany and Romania came together and spoke the same language: music. And we even learned how to play the Anklung (if I spelled it correctly), a traditional Indonesian instrument.
