Hey :)
I’m trying to keep up but I’m in an extremely busy period … so bare with me.
Not so long ago I’ve been invited to a friend’s birthday (Daniel). I figured it will be a dull Sunday afternoon and therefore I managed to arrive late :). His father has built a house and an artificial lake with all kinds of fishes lurking inside a few km of Sibiu right near the E81 European road. If you don’t know what to look for you can easily drive by and never notice it. The lake is behind an earth wall protecting it from the constant noise just a hundred meters away.
When I made the first 20m off the main road I was getting mixed feelings about the place … i wasn’t going to stick around for long … what could I possibly do here in the middle of nowhere? After just 50 more meters my perspective changed when taking a steep left turn, the an incredible view unveiled itself in front of me. As you can see from the pictures bellow, the place is amazing, just like a small corner of paradise, in the most unlikely place a hundred meters of a busy road. After that last step, no noise was getting trough … peace of mind, quiet.

Hey Guys,
A friend of mine woke up one morning at 5 o’clock and while browsing his blog, trying to kill some time, he had an idea. In the next moment he started to send out e-mails … long story short, we want to organize a meeting for the bloggers in Sibiu. We’ll start as a small group next Friday and see where we go from there. Eduard, wrote his own post about this meeting here.

Something’s changed. And this time I don’t mean something deep, but straightforward … I look differently :). Why is that? Well there’s a story behind it:
One day as I was sitting at my desk I received a call from a friend of mine, who happens to be a hair stylist. He needed someone (I don’t know why that someone has to be always me!) to work on for a show and the deadline was 5 days away. And I found myself saying “Yes” for no obvious reasons … Didn’t knew what I was putting myself into. The process was the most interesting experience tough. I never knew how much work goes into such a thing, didn’t know how difficult it is to get the color you want, the glow, that you need some math, some color knowledge and some drawing skills to pull this out. The end result you see bellow took about 7 hours.

Hey guys, it’s been a while.
Last months were hectic, been having my up’s and down’s and most of all lots of work. But now I’m here … just where I longed for some time now to be. I now own my own company. And it feels good. Very good.
I remember being very frustrated somewhere in Autumn last year. I was finally getting somewhere when the whole thing collapsed and I had to start over again. The most difficult thing was to find someone I could trust, I could really rely on … but every now and then help comes from where you don’t expect. I ended up with someone I coached a few years ago during my last AIESEC EB experience. He’s one of the most patient people I know (I do believe I’m challenging his limits sometimes :)) and the whole experience brought us a little closer. It’s cool to talk together about next steps, work together till late in the night and feel excited and happy like little kids about every small step forward. It’s a new start and it’s just like I imagined it to be.

Today I’ll just show off … After long eBay searches and unsuccessful bid, sleepless nights, desperate longing, etc. I finally managed to replace my old phone. And as you may imagine I didn’t replace it with any phone … I replaced it with The Phone :). So to make things short I am now the happy owner of an iPhone!
I can tell you that after a week I still didn’t get bored with it. It continues to make me feel good, providing me with: excellent Internet surfing capabilities, clear and perfect music as only an iPod can, good e-mail and RSS reader, innovative bubbles text messaging and the list could go on. The only thing I’m missing is my synchronized Outlook tasks list, but I can live with that for a while as new software for this marvelous device pops up every day.
